Chapter 166 The timing of dispatching troops

"Actually, your Yang family is like my maid in front of Jia. Don't think that all the gentry are equal. When Yang Jun and Yang Ji died, it has proved that Yang family is not as noble as my maid in front of the queen. You are really the only one who thinks he is noble!" Sima Ji thought of the Hou Jing Rebellion for no reason and the performance of the southern genius in the Hou Jing Rebellion vividly.

The most important thing is that the Western Jin gentry had already performed this way once. Liu Yuan was named the Xiongnu leader, but he was actually a tenant leader. Shi Le was sold to a slave directly, and everyone knew about what happened later.

Hou Jing had only 800 people crossing the river, but he could gather 100,000 troops in places where he was unfamiliar with the Southern Dynasties. Where did these people come from? You should know that the population is in the manors of the gentry. Hou Jing raised his arm and made a large army of 100,000. Where did he get his appeal? Can a Jie person have such appeal? How many gentry people don’t regard the lower class as people?

"I am quite idle lately. At least I have time to spend with you before spring plowing. I am not in a hurry. Now I will tell you something first and you will understand." Seeing the other party hesitation, Sima Ji said slowly, "Before I came back, an adultery happened. My great Jin Dynasty abolished many laws, because the population was reduced, and the crime was handled lightly. I saw an adultery incident in the case reported by the Tingwei. The adultery woman was sentenced to beheaded. Guess what, twenty-five prisoners were killed that day, and the cheers of Jicheng could shake the city walls when the woman was killed."

Yang Xin was silent. She could understand what Sima Ji meant and asked, "You want to tell me that this man in the world has the final say."

"Isn't this obvious! The woman's husband is rather cowardly and knows that he doesn't say anything, so she may think he is fearless. But I tell you, men can drag it on for more than ten years, but women can't. When the woman's husband's love fades, the woman's old age and deteriorates may explode at any time, and she might as well be beheaded by me. It's better to be beaten every day than to die until she really dies. In the eyes of men, women do not know how many times they commit adultery, but they just divide adultery or not."

King Yan always thought that he did good deeds, but his method was to kill people. As for forgiveness, Wu Dalang's story has shown that it is better not to do this, which is not good for both parties.

"But you also said that the court now is the queen who controls everything." Yang Xin quickly found Sima Ji's loophole and asked back.

"Her rights come from the emperor, and no one will listen to the queen's will." Sima Ji was still very excited. It was also very interesting to spend the winter like this. Why not fall in love if you are so bored?

"How did your Highness do that adulterer?" Yang Xin sat next to Sima Ji. The relationship between the two was at a stage where they didn't know what to say. Yang Xin accepted the King of Yan in her heart, but could not accept that she was pushed without even a promise. This would make her feel that she was very lowly.

"I didn't kill him, but I cut him and then picked the tendons of both hands!" Sima Ji blurted out.

"If you want to, the feudal state should gather some women to raise silkworms and make silk. Collective work can increase the yield. You don't have to stay at home!" Sima Ji made this suggestion in his heart. The Jin Dynasty's gentry was obsessed with money, so he really didn't have to care too much about whether women could make money.

"Me?" Yang Xin was a little moved when she heard this, but hesitated again as soon as she said that, "As a woman, I am not good at showing up, and I have two brothers who are unemployed..."

"If you don't do it, it's good that your two brothers are idle." Sima Ji spoke and blocked the road. He was only son in his past and present life. Both men and women in the Northeast are very resistant to a creature called Fudi Demon. Everyone has parents, so filial piety is of course the right thing to do. As for brothers and sisters, there is no need to help, and it is not a disability. King Yan did not have the concept of brothers and sisters during his growth.

"I didn't say anything, I can try it..." Yang Xin lowered her head and agreed, and the law of Zhenxiang came into effect.

Seeing the process of the daughters of the aristocratic family compromise step by step, Sima Ji firmly believed that the ultimate winner must be himself, but this attribute that is suspected to be the brother-supporting demon must be cut off. The one who marrys a husband and raises a son. The brother-supporting demon has no benefit except emptying his own family and raising someone else's family.

The spring breeze in Luoyang was earlier than that in Jicheng. The royal family, especially Hejian and the two kings of Fanyang, were really devoted to the recovery of Hetao. If you don’t care about some things, just forget it. I feel that they are used to it. But if you really care about them and use your energy, things will be the same again. Now the two kings and princes look at the Hetao area very disliked, and they already have preconceived concepts in their minds.

At the beginning, King Hejian and King Fan Yang only regarded the recovery of Hetao as an opportunity to make contributions and reflect his importance. But after really starting to plan, he instantly lost Hetao and made Chang'an and Luoyang so dangerous. It was equivalent to exposing both cities to the border. In this way, the safety of Bingzhou became extremely important. If Hetao is lost, there will be only Bingzhou, and the world will be shaken if Bingzhou loses.

From this point of view, we can see that King Hejian and King Fan Yang are not ignorant and are worthy of their status as leading troops to fight. In the late period of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Sima Teng was defeated in Bingzhou and Liu Yuan, and the military and town system of the Jin Dynasty in the north collapsed instantly. Of course, at that time, the two had already died one after another.

"Tuoba took our gifts and promised us to be dispatched in the middle of the year. However, the recovery of Hetao is just the icing on the cake. The most important thing is that we must win!" Sima Lu, King Fanyang, looked at Sima Yong, King of Hejian, and said, "In fact, the central imperial guards should not be transferred too much. King of Hejian guards Yecheng, and I guard Xuchang, and the distance is not close. I think there is only one military town we have to rely on."

"Guanzhong, the King of Qin in Chang'an!" King Sima Yong of Hejian was connected at a moment. Without Hetao, it would be a great harm to Chang'an in Luoyang, but Chang'an was even more harmful. Guanzhong itself would be unstable. If the north is still too close to the border, the pressure would be huge.

In fact, there is Bingzhou in the north of Luoyang that can share the pressure of losing Hetao. There is only Yongzhou in the north of Chang'an, but it actually does not have much depth at all, which is almost the same as facing Hetao directly.

"If you have the will of Your Majesty, the Qin King should not be a problem. In this way, Guanzhong sent 30,000 troops and Luoyang sent 20,000 troops. Fifty thousand troops should be enough. In other directions, you only need to be prepared for the Qiang, Hu, and the doors are in a hurry to jump over the wall, and big things can be accomplished."

"As for the generals leading the troops, they can be selected from the Southern Expedition Imperial Guards. The vanguard, the chief general, General Zhou Chu, and General Zu Ti can take office. During Qingxuan's southern expedition, he experienced many imperial guards and generals, which is definitely not a problem."

"It has been carefully discovered that there are many people left over from the Wei State who lived with the Hu people. This is of great use and can be used as an internal support to make it twice the result with half the effort."

"From the perspective of Hetao, the powers in Hetao are one of the Xiongnu, the second is the Jin people, the third is the Xianbei, and the fourth is the Qiang people. The Xiongnu are the most widely distributed, but the Qiang people are the most concentrated. As for the Jin people and the Xianbei people, they all have their own territory, so they are peaceful."

"It's quite complicated, but it's okay. Not under the leadership of a tribe, it means that the enemy cannot form a joint force, and it is a favorable condition for our army to attack."

"If Hetao can be recovered, the Great Wall may be built, and the Great Wall of the previous dynasty can be used as the foundation."

"It's simple. If you really can't get labor, you can't just use the Qianghu in Hetao as labor. Who dares not accept it? You just don't know how precious life is!" The King of Hejian said this, but he was full of murderous aura.

The two of them were talking and thinking about the situation in the Hetao area. Of course, the war was not as simple as the two of them, but it was necessary to conduct some deductions in advance. The two kings of Hejian and Fan Yang were all royal families who led their troops, and they could find their shortcomings after confirming each other.

Chang'an, after a series of changes in the late Han Dynasty, had a large population declined. Although Chang'an lived up to its original status, it was still one of the five capitals of the Jin Dynasty, with a status only under Luoyang. The one who commanded Chang'an and commanded the more than 100,000 troops in Guanzhong was the mother of Emperor Sima Zhong, King Sima Jian of Qin.

On all sides of Guanzhong are Tongguan in the east, Wuguan in the south, Xiaoguan in the north, and Dasanguan in the west. These four passes are all dangerous and strategic. Xiaoguan is responsible for preventing the nomadic peoples in the north; Dasanguan is the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi; when you exit Wuguan in the south, you can go deep into the Nanyang Basin. The Nanyang Basin can enter the hinterland of Hubei to the south, and the Central Plains can enter the north.

"Once your Majesty issues an order, send 30,000 troops out of Xiaoguan to cooperate with the imperial guards' northern expedition, you must be prepared now." Sima Jian read the letters from the two royal families word by word, and then ordered to the inner historian, "The Northern Expedition is of great importance, and you must cooperate with the imperial guards. Don't let Luoyang worry about us..."

Sima Jian's words mean something. Now his relationship with Jia Nanfeng is in a tacit stage. As long as you don't let yourself go to Luoyang, he will still obey Luoyang's orders. It is not a problem to ask for soldiers and money, and he is still loyal to the emperor.

But it is absolutely impossible to go to Luoyang. If the destruction of the Yang family can be regarded as an isolated evidence, the poisoned death of his younger brother, King Chu, is enough to make Sima Jian not believe in Jia Nanfeng, and he will not rebel on his own initiative, but Qin Chu, 800 miles from Guanzhong, is also enough to ensure that he is safe and sound.

Youzhou has just passed the coldest stage of the year. Luoyang and Chang'an, which are slightly warmer, have begun to quietly prepare troops and reserve grain and grass, Luoyang's central imperial guards, and Chang'an's Guanzhong army have all polished their steel knives. Luoyang and Chang'an have had a lot of letters to communicate during this period, so they waited for the preparation to be completed. They can send troops at the right time. They have to wait until the Yellow River thaws, but they cannot reach the middle time when the water and grass are abundant.
