Chapter 1002

Yecheng is the imperial city of Jin.

It is reasonable to say that the political center of a country like Yecheng should be prosperous and prosperous with people coming and going. But today, Yecheng is gradually declining, the number of traders is decreasing, and the population is also very large.

In fact, it is not only the capital of Yecheng, but also the whole territory of Jin. Many people have quietly left their hometown and left Jin for Qin, unwilling to stay in Jin.

The passing of population also led to the decline of Jin's national strength. After all, this era is not a contest based on cutting-edge technology, nor is it a battle of small groups of soldiers, but an era of cold weapons. Population is the standard to measure a country's strength.

But Yuan Shao himself died.

After Dajin bank, it did not mention the collapse of Dajin bank and did not compensate the people. In addition, Yuan Shao's Treasury was short of money, which not only did not reduce taxes, but also increased taxes, which made life more difficult for the people.

As a result, countless people left their homes.

Yuan Shao didn't pay attention to all this, because now he has more than 100000 troops under his command.

With the army, Yuan Shao believed that he had the strength.

When Yuan Shao saw that Cao ang had stabilized the situation in the Wei state, he left it alone. Anyway, although Cao Cao is dead, at least Cao ang is still the king of Wei. If Cao ang is still there, he can continue to restrain Zhang Xiu.

However, by the end of July, the news of the state of Wu was also sent back, and Yuan Shao also knew the news of the collapse of the state of Wu. But Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously after he knew it. Anyway, he couldn't help sun CE.

The only pity for Yuan Shao is that sun CE died so soon.

I didn't try to restrain Zhang Xiu.

If sun CE can restrain Zhang Xiu for a period of time, or even weaken Zhang Xiu, then everything will be fine. However, even so, Yuan Shao never paid attention to it. Anyway, life can go on.

He worked hard for a period of time, but Zhang Xiu's focus was no longer on the state of Jin, so he began to relax. He had less time to deal with government affairs. He left most of the government affairs to Jushi, and Yuan Shao himself was addicted to the harem. All day luxury, all day immersed in a group of women, drinking for pleasure, ignore government affairs.

Such a situation makes us feel helpless.

After several times of persuasion, he did not persuade any more. After all, persuasion was useless. That is to say, he spent more time and handled more government affairs, hoping that the state of Jin would recover earlier.

Once upon a time, Ju Shu bet with Guo Tu, and Ju Shu bet on the national fortune. But at last Yuan Shao released Guo Tu, which led to the collapse of the whole Jin State and the decline of Jin.

He had no choice but to work hard as a papermaker to make Jin better.

Yuan Shao didn't say anything about the complete collapse of the state of Wu, but when he heard this, he said, "heaven is dead, Jin is great.". The reason is very simple. After the fall of Wu, the strength of Qin became stronger.

He had no choice but to help Wu.

We can only adjust the army as soon as possible and enhance its combat effectiveness.

Only in this way can we stabilize Dajin.

Therefore, during this period of time, it can be said that we are extremely worried. It was only a few months, his temples had been frosty, and he had countless white hair, because everything was on him, which made him gasp.

On this day, Jufu was in Yamen.

When Jushi was working, a servant came in from outside the hall of the government office. He bowed and said, "my Lord, Zhuge Liang, the envoy of Wei and Chu, has come to see you."

"Please

When I heard that, I immediately gave an order.

Although the state of Chu is dead in name, Liu Bei is still alive, so the state of Chu is still there.

Soon, Zhuge Liang entered.

Today's Zhuge Liang, dressed in a white robe, with a feather fan and a silk scarf, holds a goose feather fan. He is elegant and has a sword eyebrow. He feels like a spring breeze.

He waved his hand and said, "Kong Ming, sit down!"

For Liu Bei's adviser Zhuge Liang, Ju Shi also knows that even though Liu Bei has been defeated repeatedly in recent years, he can't deny Zhuge Liang's ability, because anyone who goes to war with Zhang Xiu can't resist Zhang Xiu's attack.

No wonder Zhuge Liang.

After Zhuge Liang lifted his robe and sat down, he said slowly, "Duke Ju, do you know the current situation in Jiangdong?"

"I've heard a little about it," he said

Zhuge Liang gently shook his goose feather fan and continued: "this time the state of Wu was destroyed. Sun CE, Zhou Yu and others hope that the whole state of Wu has been brought into Zhang Xiu's hands. Now the strength of Zhang Xiu has become more and more powerful and irresistible. No matter the state of Chu, the state of Wei, or the state of Jin, Zhang Xiu's army could not be stopped. If they fight separately, the final result can only be annihilated by Zhang Xiu one by one. Duke Ju, do you think so? "

Ju Zhixin knew this truth, but he didn't admit it immediately. Instead, he said with a smile: "Kong Ming, that's what he said, but our country has a strong foundation in Jin, and it recovers quickly. Today, the number of people with armour in Jin is no less than 100000. The number of string controllers is no less than 20000 or 30000. Now that Jin's strength has recovered, it can fight against Zhang Xiu. Even if the state of Jin was alone against Daqin, it was not afraid. ""Ha ha ha..."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Laughter, show disdain.

Ju Zhixin knew that Zhuge Liang certainly didn't agree. However, he wanted to hear Zhuge Liang's opinions, so he asked: "Why are you laughing, Kongming? Don't you agree with me? "

Zhuge Liang said, "I really don't agree."

He said in a deep voice, "I'd like to hear your opinions!"

Zhuge Liang said: "I've heard a little about Guo Tu's exposure in the state of Jin and his imprisonment. Then Zhang Xiu launched a campaign against him. Chen Bing was at the border of Jin and forced Jin to hand over Guo Tu at last."

"I don't know the details of this incident, but I know that Duke Ju advocated the first World War, but in the end, either Yuan Shao or yuan Shang released Guo Tu to seek peace."

"Under such a premise, no matter what the strength of the state of Jin is, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang's father and son are afraid of Zhang Xiu and have no courage to fight. So even if the state of Jin has a strong foundation and can quickly recover its strength, the people above have been scared by Zhang Xiu. Once they are killed by Zhang Xiu's army again, how can they have the courage to resist?"

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "as for the rich foundation of Jin, but since I entered the state of Jin in Qingzhou, along the way, people's lives have begun to decline, and people's life is quite difficult."

"Today's state of Jin, that is, on the surface, it seems to have unlimited scenery. In fact, it is already declining. Duke Ju, you are the first assistant of the state of Jin. His majesty has delegated the power to you. You can make decisions on many things. "

Zhuge Liang said: "in fact, the situation of Jin is very bad."

Ju Shu nodded his head and said, "he is worthy of being the counsellor of the Duke of Chu. What Kong Ming said is quite insightful."

This is his ability to test Zhuge Liang.

It's not easy.

"Why do you come?" he asked

Zhuge Liang, with a serious face, said solemnly, "I'm here to see Duke Ju today. I've come to meet his Majesty the emperor of Jin under the orders of the king of Wei and the state of Chu to discuss the alliance between the two sides and fight against Zhang Xiu."

In fact, he had guessed it in his heart, so he was not surprised to hear Zhuge Liang's words and said: "I know that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages when I unite to fight against Zhang Xiu. But how to persuade your majesty, you will have to work hard. "

Zhuge Liang said, "please rest assured, I have my own plan."

"Then go and follow me to the palace!"

After he recognized Zhuge Liang, he immediately took Zhuge Liang to leave the government office and went straight to the imperial city.
