Chapter 107: Acting Cheaply
Behind him were two thousand Luoyang Imperial Guards who came with Hu Qi. The Imperial Guards would not follow Hu Qi on the waterway, but went to Jiaozhou to attack Hengshan Pass in front of him. Sima Ji was surrounded by Zhou Chu and Zu Ti. His Highness Yan was a little ineffective in energy. This was mainly the sequelae of learning foreign languages day and night. It was difficult to master a foreign language proficiently, although he had many teachers.
"Your Highness, what order did you give Murong Yun?" Zu Ti rushed to Sima Ji and asked.
"It's nothing, a cheap handwriting!" Sima Ji replied with a chuckling, without any problem in his expression. It depends on how he interpreted it. If he said it, Zu Ti might think it was a plunder order. But in Murong Yun's eyes, it was a household reduction order, or a city massacre order. Of course, Sima Ji could also come up with a more gentle name, such as the Optimization of Birth Order.
Sima Ji entered Longbian City with great fanfare. From the moment he entered Jiaozhou, he looked around curiously. He wanted to see how the land that had been thrown away since the Northern Song Dynasty was different from the Central Plains. Some things were either you always had, but as long as they were thrown away and they were taken back, it would be extremely difficult.
A small Hengshan Pass in the middle has hindered the southern expedition. There is a famous 100,000 mountains to the north of Jiaozhou. The People's Liberation Army fought with its good disciples and fought along the 100,000 mountains for a long time.
"It is a good thing that Jiaozhou is located in a remote area. The war in the Central Plains has not lasted here. There are 16,000 households in a small place in Rinan County. I believe that the seven counties and 53 counties under Jiaozhou will definitely not only have 80,000 households with registered household registration. I will be able to clearly feel this when I come along and compare it with my own vassal state in Youzhou! All this is thanks to the governor Tao Huang. The governor is a blessing for my great Jin Dynasty."
In the governor's mansion, Sima Ji first encouraged the governor of Jiaozhou in both countries. Of course, he had no irony. If he could be a chief official in both Wu and Jin, the other party must have his own unique features. If Sima Ji remembered correctly, Tao Huang's two sons and grandson were later the governor of Jiaozhou. The Tao family led Jiaozhou for four generations, and the entire Chinese history was rare.
Tao Huang heard the implicit sound and asked carefully, "Does Your Highness have any instructions?"
"I want to recruit 50,000 strong men in Jiaozhou, together with 10,000 people from the Jiaozhou Army headquarters, 7,000 Luoyang Imperial Guards, and 40,000 southern conquests to jointly go south to attack Hengshan Pass. As for the waterway army in Guangzhou, that is another matter." Sima Ji informed the other party straight to the point, "The recruitment of strong men will start immediately, and I will go south."
"Your Highness, are you a little too anxious? We have not received orders before!" His son Tao Wei stepped forward and walked forward, "In this way, your highness suddenly recruited strong men, which made people unable to obey for a moment."
"Young Master, I said it! The Tao family is in Jiaozhou!" Sima Ji tilted his head and looked at the other party, "Also, I was so anxious to recruit strong men. I believe that the matter was spread to Linyi, and King Linyi had a chance of winning."
After entering Longbian City with great arrogance, the King of Yan quickly made the entire Jiaozhou know him. Within three days, Jiaozhou had to collect 50,000 strong men. A man was not enough for women to make up for it. Once this order was issued, it quickly caused an uproar in the counties and counties near Longbian. Before the imperial guard left the city, Tao Huang said that he was willing to mediate.
A storm was considered to be calmed down. The familiar word "elimination and taxation" was tied to Sima Ji, but he didn't care. He had long felt that Jiaozhou was not concerned about this southern expedition. No wonder he encountered the Northern Song Dynasty, which was unable to show off his martial arts skills hundreds of years later, and he was like Lin Yi, and he broke up and became independent.
When Sawaka came to Jiaozhou, the entire Jiaozhou was a gritting environment for the King of Yan. Moreover, this Brahmin disciple really met Sima Ji as he wished.
"This royal family named King Yan said that they would prepare their troops, horses, money and food within a month, and carry 100,000 troops to the south. However, according to my observation, the north was in chaos. When it comes to this young commander, everyone gritted their teeth." Sawaka recalled Sima Ji's arrogance and rudeness, and he was also a little angry.
"Master, now you believe it! This person is arrogant!" Fan Yi laughed without being angry after hearing this, and said to Jigarava happily, "My bravest son will personally go to Hengshan Pass to guard. The line of Hengshan is the most fearless warrior of our clan. Even if we pass Hengshan, I will have reserves, which will inevitably make the Jin army come and go."
"The east and west of Hengshan Mountain are hundreds of miles long. I decided to raise 100,000 troops to attack the whole line. I don't believe that Lin Yi can defend it." Sima Ji, who was sitting in the central army's tent, took back the place reported by the stern, looked at Zu Ti and Zhou Chu, "I have no talent for generals. I rely on the greater the population of the Great Jin Dynasty and the stronger the weapons than the opponent. This is called a total war. If there is a condition to fight more, then fight less."
"In this case, Your Highness wants to try to increase the area of the attack. Linyi army either opens the defensive surface or sits and watch Hengshan be penetrated!" Zhou Chu said as he listened to Sima Ji's thoughts, "Your Highness's move is a life-threatening fight, and in the end there are only two results. One is to conquer Hengshan in a short time, and the other is, once the Linyi army defends, we will retreat. If a hundred thousand troops cannot capture one Hengshan Pass, the morale of the army will be greatly affected."
"Zhou Chu is willing to lead the Jiaozhou army, and the imperial guards and the southern expedition army are commanded by General Zumen and His Highness!" Zhou Chu said proudly, "Zhou Chu is not willing to lead the stubborn soldiers, but if Lin Yi does not choose to defend the entire line, Zhou Chu will be able to insert the back of Lin Yi's army before His Highness!"
The swords were sharpened on both sides of Hengshan. The arrogance and rudeness of Linyi King Fan Yi's general Sima Ji was widely spread in Linyi. It aroused great resentment. Compared with the last Yang Yu army, Fan Yi also emphasized that Sima Ji was just a playboy from the royal family. He had not fought a battle since he was born, and was only seventeen years old. He was entrusted with heavy taxes in Jiaozhou in the north, etc.
As a result of this kind of deed, once Lin Yi is defeated, you can imagine the misfortune that Lin Yi men and women will share the same hatred of the enemy and prepare to fight to the death with the northern invaders.
Murong Yun, wearing armor, sat on the beach in the night, and the sound of sharpening the knife was heard under his hands. It has to be said that Murong Yun liked the scenery of the beach very much. Not far away, many figures were leading horses on board the boat. The Hu people had never seen the sea before, and I don’t know who had the idea. We can board the boat first without sleeping all night, and then the navy enters the sea. We will go to the place after a night so that we can avoid seasickness.
"Uncle, everyone is on the boat!" When the sky was already dawning, Duan Wuze jogged over and urged.
