"Tell Zu Ti that General Zhou Chu can surrender the remnants of Linyi, but once surrender, all the Yishuai and others will beheaded on the spot, and all the natives will be imprisoned. Wait for me to destroy Linyi before talking about it! All the dead bodies should be collected as much as possible. If they really cannot be buried on the spot, they cannot be exposed to the open air." Sima Ji scratched his head when he heard the messenger sent by Zu Ti, as if he had forgotten something, and then looked back at the clerk of the army.

Tang Chen followed Sima Ji's gaze and coughed softly to remind him, "Don't record this one, just record the time of conquering Hengshan, and the people of Rinan County missed my Great Jin."

Well! Sima Ji nodded with satisfaction and comforted the messenger who had been there, "Go back and report now. After the battle stops, repair it for three days, and the same is true here. After three days, the two generals and I will join forces and continue to move south."

The war has just passed, and it is necessary to repair it. Even if there are generals and schools reporting that some soldiers are entangled with ghosts, possessed by evil spirits, unable to sleep or eat, and have nightmares when sleeping. This perfectly challenged the deep-rooted atheistic cognition of His Highness Yan’s alarm clock.

The war just passed, and the sea of ​​corpses and blood were disgusting and not disgusting, and Sima Ji did not blame others. However, the military group should be the ones who should not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods. This can be reeducated later. Only after the incident, do you have nightmares. How can you show mercy when you go to the battlefield and let the enemy cut you off?

The shameless thing is that there were actually two lieutenants coming to report seriously. If Tang Chen hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been clear that Sima Ji's face was greener than the leaves. He drove the two of them away, but he still didn't know what would happen.

Leaving a rest time is also to let the army seize the time to adjust itself, especially personal hygiene issues. During this period, the King of Yan also submitted a memorial to introduce the situation of this southern expedition, including the Battle of Hengshan Pass and the trend of destroying Linyi.

Two days later, the Jiaozhou Army led by Zhou Chu and the Southern Expedition Army of Zu Ti swept away the remnants and joined Sima Ji. The two armies joined together and lost tens of thousands of people. This number was very high, but it was not unacceptable to attack Hengshan Pass.

"Xiang Lin has been rebelling for more than a hundred years, and this war is a great achievement. However, I think this is not a problem with Linyi. It is difficult to cure if you rebel and surrender here. Not to mention here, even in Jiaozhou, the matter of the Second Zheng Madam should be taken as a warning!" Sima Ji held a glass of water and looked at the generals. The camp was gone and used to clean the wounds for the wounded soldiers.

Not to mention the generals, even the soldiers at the bottom thought that after conquering the capital of Linyi this time, the southern expedition was left to wait for the troops to return to the court with their fingers. This was not possible, at least Sima Ji thought it was far from enough.

But the current problem needs to make the army understand his decision, just like Alexander went to India in the east and thought he could still fight, but his generals had no choice. Now he must gather the morale of the army.

Regarding the Hu Qi issue, Sima Ji can use money to buy it. Anyway, there are some warehouses in the Yanwang Mansion. But facing a 100,000 army, he is a little unable to afford it, so he must think of a solution from the middle and senior generals.

After the army gathered, Sima Ji began to think of a suitable reason. There is no shortage of great righteousness. There is no problem in the southern expedition to avoid future troubles and continue to move south. However, except for great righteousness, interests cannot be given up.

"General Zhou Chu, Lu Ji is attacking the capital of Linyi!" Sima Ji asked such a problem for no reason.

"I am an old acquaintance with the Lu brothers!" Although I don't know why Sima Ji asked this, Zhou Chu still introduced him to each other in detail. I don't know that Sima Ji, who looked as plain as water, had actually heard it for the second time.

"The family in Shu and Jiangnan have a very unhappy career. General Zhou Chu should know this. I don't want to hide it from each other. The gentry in the north look down on the gentry in the two places!" Sima Ji pondered for a moment and said, "I have no choice but to do this. However, this kind of contempt is not good for my great Jin Dynasty. The rise in the career is nothing more than civil and military. Therefore, the general has already advanced to the third rank. The Lu brothers are famous all over the world, but Lu Ji is still a sacrificial wine, and all the sacrificial wines are in Luoyang."

"This southern expedition is an opportunity for the gentry in the old land of Wu and Shu." Sima Ji directly threw the bait and won over. Let's not talk about national justice or for the country and the people. If the gentry in the old land of Wu and Shu waited for decades and the conflicts between the north and the south were eliminated, he would just pretend that the King of Yan would not say that, even though the southern expedition would continue.

It turns out that the gentry of the old Wei State was of course recognized as the high sect. The gentry of the old sect in Wu and Shu was similar to the poor sect in the north. Sima Ji had already said it clearly enough. Whether he could seize this opportunity depends on whether the gentry of the old sect in Wu and Shu wanted to continue to be comfortable in front of the seventh and eighth ranks, or to narrow the gap between the north and the south.

This is already the limit that Sima Ji can do. Zhou Chu knew that this was a good thing when he heard it. He knelt down and said with gratitude, "The family in the old land of Wu and Shu will definitely thank Your Highness."

Of course, Zhou Chu's loyalty to the court is nothing, but who would refuse to be united with the country and the family? Ordinary gentry would not be so noble. If there is a good opportunity, they will definitely be like sharks that smell blood. No matter what it is or whether it is poisonous or not, they will take a bite first.

"Since that's the case, the Jiaozhou Army and the Southern Expedition Army were mixed together. General Zuti and General Zhou Chu each brought one of them and continued to go south with me. I welcome any talented people from the old land of Wu and Shu to help complete this southern expedition." Sima Ji used water instead of wine, "The army has no wine. When we arrive at the Linyi Palace, we will see if Fan Yi has any inventory."

The central idea is that even if Linyi is destroyed, the southern expedition must continue. Linyi is not enough to allow the southern gentry to accumulate too much credit, so the war must be expanded, the countries destroyed must be increased, and the occupied land must be expanded.

Leaving 10,000 troops to the governor of Jiuzhen County, letting these troops stay to take care of the wounded soldiers. Sima Ji led the army merged into the same place to go south again. Before that, Zhou Chu had already started writing letters to the gentry of Jiangnan. The Zhou family had great prestige in Jiangnan. Although it was not as good as the Lu family, it was a rare family of military generals. Zhou Chu's father, Zhou Bree, once surrendered and defeated Cao Xiu.

When Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were still alive, the Sima family was very honest. Zhou Feng established his career with this and was very prestigious in the Wu Kingdom.
