"I... I am wronged for a moment, please don't blame me!" With Lu Ji's repeated reminders, Zhou Chu saw the unkind gaze of the imperial guard general and the school. He understood that he had just said that he was only one step away from being killed on the spot. He quickly knelt down and apologized.

"Yeah!" Sima Ji, who scratched the back of his head, squeezed out a word from his mouth and sighed, "I know that General Zhou Chu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the general is quick to speak, not dissatisfied with the court. However, the general also knows that the gentry between the north and the south is not very harmonious now. The general should be cautious in his words. Fortunately, this is not Luoyang. Tang Chen, don't reveal General Zhou Chu's just now, do you understand!"

"The young general understands!" Tang Chen bowed and took the order, signaling the imperial guards behind him to pull out half of his waist knife and take it back.

"Whether it is the descendants of Liu Chan, Sun Hao, even the Cao family, and the descendants of the Han Emperor, they are all in their own territory. If you want, you can't go and see it. Okay, I will pretend that I didn't hear anything today." After Sima Ji finished speaking, he sat back on the throne, and this scene turned over. "But the regicide is a good excuse. But we are very busy at present. On the one hand, we need to expand Xianglin County, and reclaim and build ships. It is not suitable for rash use of war. We have to wait until the grain after the land is harvested and follow the customs. We will eat whatever the local people eat, and we will not kill people."

Rice also existed in the Jin Dynasty, but it was not the mainstream food, because the rice today cannot be planted in the north, and the current population distributed in the north and south is absolutely dominant.

The army of the southern expedition was mostly southerners, and the Jiaozhou army was not far from Xianglin. So Sima Ji, a northerner, would not need to teach the locals how to grow rice. The King of Yan did not dare to go into battle if he didn't understand.

"I think that the time for repairing a hundred days is just right. One is to adapt to the environment, and the other is to make the surrounding tribes relax their vigilance!" After a round, Sima Ji returned to the main topic and completely forgot about Zhou Chu's affairs. "I didn't expect that under the Fan family, Lin Yi actually produced iron. Unfortunately, these natives did not have the habit of wearing armor. A hundred days later, I gave the order, hoping to see a tiger out of the cage and eliminate all the causes with the power of destroying the dead and rotten."

"Your Highness is wise!" Everyone was praised, as if the small episode had just disappeared without a trace.

Sima Ji thought about it for a while and felt that he was not sure enough, so he said to Tang Chen, "I probably won't be long. Whether it is a vassal state or a Funan country, after the army is stationed in the land, he will inquire about the news openly and secretly. Let's say that I am in a miasma and resting in the Linyi Palace. If it weren't for inconvenience, I would have returned to Luoyang long ago."

"Why should your highness do this? What's the point of being a small country?" Zu Ti said, "Do we still show that the enemy is weak?"

A dynasty with a population of tens of millions and a large army of 100,000 to fight south, and keep a low profile for a group of small countries. This is indeed a bit inappropriate, but Sima Ji did not mind, "If this king pretends to be sick, it would be worth it if the casualties of the soldiers of the army were reduced."

"I am sick. If you generals want to enter the palace in the future, it is best to come one by one." Sima Ji smiled and left the palace with tiredness and walked backwards.

"Why are you still so reckless? The imperial guards who were present just now have to draw their swords at each other." After leaving the palace, Lu Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a little fear, "This is much more serious than you angered King Liang at the beginning, and it will even implicate the entire Zhou family. Fortunately, King Yan didn't say anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Chen walked out from behind, saluted the two of them, and said, "General Zhou Chu, I heard that there were evil dragons in nearby rivers. Your Highness heard that General Zhou Chu had killed the evil dragon when he was young. Now he ordered the general to mobilize the navy gentry and take a large ship to kill the evil dragon so that it will not cause harm. After the matter is completed, I hope to bring the evil dragon's corpse back. Your Highness wants to see."

"Chief Zhou accepts the order!" Zhou Chu came down directly to the camp. He did this when he was young, let alone to take the soldiers to strangle.

Is it still a problem for Sima's family to pretend to be sick? It's not at all. Don't forget that King Yan was confined to Yang Jun for a while. At that time, Sima Yi pretended to be sick and waited for the opportunity, and finally launched the Gaopingling Incident to kill Cao Shuang. Today, Sima Ji followed suit, and there was only one wish at this time. Just pretend not to be sick this time.

As long as we can paralyze these small countries that were frightened by the destruction of Linyi, and for three months of military farming and stagnating, we believe that we can lead the snake out of the cave. In this way, the news that the commander of Yan, Sima Ji, the commander of the Southern Expedition, had been circulating in the Linyi Palace because of the miasma. In order to prevent the morale of the army, Sima Ji doubled the number of land reclamation, and exhausted the soldiers in the army into dogs, saving them all the time and thinking about the commander's physical problems.

Xianglin's work continued, and Sima Ji hid in the palace and did not come out, but asked about progress every day. Because if he wanted to attack Funan Kingdom, the number of warships would increase, because unlike the land from Jiaozhou, there was a big river between him and Funan Kingdom. The section in China that later in China was called the Lancang River.

The section of the river after the Lancang River flows into the Indochina Peninsula is called the Mekong River. The main stream of the Mekong River is 5,000 kilometers long and is the most important transnational water system in Asia and the seventh largest river in the world. Since it can be ranked famous in the world, how dare Sima Ji look down on it?

This is not a small river, so if you don’t prepare well, if a hundred thousand troops have three long and two short, it will be called every day and the earth will not work. Therefore, the importance of the Guangzhou Navy has not decreased, but increased.

After completely pacifying the original Linyi territory in the southern part of Xianglin, the army of the Southern Expedition suddenly calmed down. The swords and guns were put into the warehouse, and the horses were put into Nanshan. The 100,000 troops and the captured natives were converted into engineering soldiers, building new cities and large ships, and there was another scene in the camp. This army was stepping up repairing armor, sharpening the sword and immediately repairing the weapons and armor of the entire army.

In the Linyi Palace, the King of Yan, who was infected with miasma, was quietly recuperating in the pool, hugging the maid's delicate body, his eyes half-closed and half-opened, and hummed, "I am infected with miasma. Only the most beautiful maid can restore my health."

Hehe! The Xianbei maid who was hugged in her arms smiled and said softly to the man's chest, "Hasn't the king been very healthy all the time? I'm just a little weak in my legs now."
