There are many modes of war, and not all of them are wars of destruction. It is normal for people to die in the border areas. You can successfully fight a large army, and you can fight a small battle and behead more than a thousand people to enhance your reputation.

Obviously, Sima Xu pointed to the latter type, and Wang Rong agreed to the latter type. This kind of battle was at best a small conflict, and of course there was no comparison with the upcoming Battle of Hetao.

However, the two of them didn't know much about Sima Ji. As long as Luoyang agreed and obtained his approval to command the Pingzhou army, he would dare to turn the small conflict into a battle to destroy the country. At that time, he would say that he had understood the wrong meaning. At worst, he could pay for some money to make some money. What would he keep for the copper coins? It would open the way home and he would not be able to buy any copper coins.

When Jia Nanfeng saw that the royal family and the ministers agreed, he thought about it and felt that there was no problem. "Goguryeo is not a big country. Since Pingzhou is often disturbed, it would be better to let Qingxuan teach them a lesson."

Anyway, it was just a small conflict, and it was not about mobilizing a large army to recruit, the Pingzhou Army was enough.

Youzhou is actually quite lively now, because the refugees appearing, of course, the source is not in Youzhou. Are refugees? In such a large country, refugees exist anytime and anywhere. They belong to farmers and tenants who have defected to nearby big states. The number of people is not large, and the government has not paid attention to them. However, the King of Yan, who has always attached great importance to his country, immediately discovered the hidden abortion.

Sima Ji's cake paintings have indeed begun to have effect, and people gathered in Youzhou again. In fact, when he was painting the cakes, he didn't expect it to be effective at all, because the Jin Dynasty was indeed short of population and there was still a lot of spare land. It was actually very early to get the warning line for land annexation, but this situation was really beyond his expectations.

The weather was just a little warmer, and someone brought his family to Youzhou, and he didn't even care about spring farming. After Sima Ji discovered that, he asked Yan Yan to act cheaply, and it would definitely not work. Sima Ji felt that these people should be prevented from stealing Liaoxi County, which already belonged to the Northeast in a large geographical manner, and was more likely to be unaware of it.

"There are too many refugees in this population? Is there too many officials?" Although there were only a hundred households, Sima Ji had already seen this trend and was ready to absorb these household registrations quickly. It is absolutely impossible to form abortions. It is better to lose them than to block them.

Any official names that appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties, whether permanent or extraordinary, can be found in them. These official positions are likely to be different titles from different periods, and their powers overlap with each other. For example, some counties are called prefects, and some counties are called county magistrates. This is quite normal, and some abnormal officials are.

For example, Taizai, Taifu, Taibao, these were the three dukes of the Zhou Dynasty; Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were also the names of ancient officials, and their power was equivalent to the three dukes; Grand Sima was also the names of ancient officials, and the position of Taiwei was replaced by Grand Sima in the Han Dynasty; Grand Sima was an official name that was specially established in the Han Dynasty, and General of Grand Sima was often alone in the Han Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, the real regime had already been reduced to the hands of the small officials with a thousand stones of official rank, Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling. The above official positions were all idle positions in the elderly who had no specific power, but they all enjoyed the treatment of the third duke, and took the salary of the first-rank minister, and occupied the land and the Yinhu as the first-rank minister.

I have twenty governors and 3,000 counties. I can compare with the Qing Dynasty with a population of 400 million. My Qing Dynasty also sent troops with a bloated organization, but the handicraft industry is developed. Although I have no richness in the soft article, it is also richer than ordinary dynasties. My Qing Dynasty has at least 400 million people with strong execution ability. Its execution ability is comparable to any dynasty except the Western Han Dynasty. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty emperors had an attitude of not being able to search the houses, which lowered the status of the bureaucratic class. Anyway, there are some people who want to be officials.

But in my Jin Dynasty, there was a huge gentry ready to serve the country at any time and went through fire and water without hesitation. So many children of the gentry of high-ranking families needed to be officials. How could they do without official positions? There are no less than twenty generals alone, and this would also exclude the eighth rank of General Xuanwei, which would be better than a lieutenant.

There were 1,060 million households in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and 1,600,000 households in the Jin Dynasty. Although it reads similarly, it is actually far behind. You can think of how much labor it takes for ordinary people in the Jin Dynasty to maintain the country's operation than the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The lack of plowing oxen in Youzhou does not mean that the Central Plains is not short of either.

There are only such a few people in Liaoxi County, and it is easy to fill in the population. However, these people who are full of longing for the future are destined to be unlucky this year because there is war this year. Not only will the dream be postponed, but they must also pay labor first to ensure military expenses.

From this point of view, we can see that Sima Ji is shameless and is ready to squeeze the labor force without letting the refugees rest.

Because he had already obtained Luoyang's approval, he could fight back against Goguryeo's robbery. Since framed Goguryeo, there were thousands of household registrations in Pingzhou and Youzhou, and it was really unreasonable that Luoyang would not express his opinion. Of course, these disappeared household registrations have become the hidden household registration of the King of Yan. I have never forgotten that the Sima family is also a gentry, and of course they can also play the trick of hiding the population. Even if Sima Ji is not familiar with the world, can he still learn?

"Zhang Da, you're doing a good job! This Shangshuling is quite capable!" Sima Ji sighed for a while that his money was not unfair. Compared to those guys who talked about metaphysics and didn't know what to think, Wang Rong, a greedy and stingy man, seemed much cute.

"Zhang Da dares not take credit, it is His Highness's reputation that convinced the Secretary Ling!" Zhang Da quickly said that he did not dare.

"I have no reputation. Shangshuling's help is for the sake of money." Sima Ji did not hide it at all. He was such a person, and he had a clear position on himself. He was so arrogant that he bowed to him and was far away from him.

As for why King Sima Sui of Fanyang helped, he was also working hard. Otherwise, why did Sima Sui make such a suggestion after Wang Rong spoke? It was just that the two of them didn't know each other at the time.

"I'll work hard to go to Pingzhou and let Dongyi Captain He Long start training. Luoyang doesn't hide it from the recovery of Hetao, and I don't hide it. I'll fight openly." Sima Ji nodded to Zhang Da and said.

The weather in Youzhou was actually very cold, so Sima Ji could not wait to order the Pingzhou army to step up the training. And there was no concealment at all, and he really did the open fire. At this time, the preparations for Hetao were not even completed.

It is actually a little hasty to prepare now. The environments of the two places are different. The two royal families of Hejian and Fanyang are considering going to war in April. This is because the terrain of Hetao is isolated and will be more tired after winter. After all, nomadic conditions require aquatic plants, so choose when the aquatic plants in April have not grown well.

But Pingzhou is completely different. Sima Ji only needs to wait until autumn is approaching before the war begins. On the one hand, he needs to prepare, and on the other hand, the environment is different. Goguryeo is not a nomadic people, and the Northeast is not a nomadic area. Hunting cannot maintain the consumption of a country even if it is a small country. Goguryeo also farms.

Is the autumn harvest in Youzhou and the autumn harvest in Goguryeo a day? It is definitely not, because the latitudes are different. But it will not be too different. If you calculate this time point, the grain harvest in Youzhou is completed, but Goguryeo happens to be the autumn harvest, which is the best time.

However, although the two battlefields did not start at the same time, they still formed a linkage effect in the overall environment. The large ships on the seaside of Beiping County have begun to be built. The timing is wrong and the weather is still cold, but they are not as good as Sima Ji's micro-cass. He did not expect how long these large ships can last. The Bohai Sea is an inland sea, so it is enough to not sink.

The Pingzhou army also began to gather, without any concealment. The swords and guns were out of the warehouse, and the horses were neighing. It really felt like the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. Then it disbanded, causing Goguryeo to pay a tribute and make you nervous. Youzhou was about to start spring plowing. When Goguryeo was in spring plowing, the Pingzhou army was fully armed again, and the swords and guns were out of the warehouse, and it seemed to be a battle with Goguryeo, and then it was disbanded.

The art of exhausting the enemy, big countries often do this against small countries, just like China sacrificed an autonomous region in later generations and nailed the entire Vietnam to a hundred thousand mountains. Anyway, I can afford to delay it, and you must die first. That's the reason.

At the same time, Sima Ji decided to give Youzhou purchasing department a chance, and the new department must go through the experience. Otherwise, there would be no progress. Goguryeo was not as strong as a great enemy, so it was just right to use it for training.

During this process, the spring plowing in Youzhou was not delayed, but it only made some people suffer. They had to help build ships in cold weather, and they didn't breathe and started spring plowing again. They were already accustomed to the operation of Xia Jibo of the King of Yan.

Some news began to spread across the borders of Goguryeo and Pingzhou. For example, the Pingzhou army gathered to deal with wars in other directions. Just because the Pingzhou army could not defeat Goguryeo, etc. These rumors, Goguryeo loved to believe it or not, and did not believe Sima Ji, and even if the other party was stupid, it would be spread.

However, after this operation, Goguryeo even thought about sending an envoy to Luoyang to learn about the movements of the Jin court. But at this moment, the Luoyang imperial guards began to assemble, and the army gathered with swords and guns. King Sima of Fanyang, led a group of generals and school to start oath. He was passionate in his words and inspired the soldiers of the army to make achievements. This time, he regained his hometown and fought to the death.

After the oath, the army set out and disappeared into the eyes of the melon-eating crowd in Luoyang. The next day, 30,000 Guanzhong troops from Chang'an went north to Xiaoguan, and the carriages and horses ran their hooves along the way, and they continued for a long time.
