"The winter clothes are all ready. If my father had done it, he would definitely not be so willing to work hard." Yang Xin took the list of the Yan Prince's Mansion, which included a batch of new shoes, which were made according to Sima Ji's requirements. It took a lot of effort to divide them into different shoe sizes, and the cost was absolutely not bad.

"So your father doesn't know the reason why he can't bear to leave his children and can't trap a wolf!" Sima Ji glanced at the things on it and said indifferently, "I don't need to tell me such small things anymore. I'm going to go to war. It's not appropriate to plot against these."

"I don't understand. Why would you rather attack Goguryeo if you don't understand enough to make up for it?" Yang Xin hesitated and asked her about the doubts in her heart. She was a woman and couldn't understand the truth.

"Tell you the example that you are definitely not willing to listen to. Men can distinguish women from love very well. The reason why I have so many maids is not that I love them, but because my physical needs. I really hope to write a book when I am with a woman. At this time, I care very much about the other party's reaction. Because the favors are mutual and we cannot give one-sidedly." Sima Ji thought, "I have already written a book to Goguryeo, and I must get rewards. Moreover, I have written a book very much, and the general reward is not enough to make me moved."

Seeing Yang Xin still didn't understand, Sima Ji said again, "In fact, if the Battle of Hetao was just to expel Qiang and Hu, it would have been over. It is possible to let the Yellow River go and let Qiang and Hu return to the grassland. But why can't we do this? Hundreds of thousands of people return to the grassland may cause a chain reaction. When Qiang and Hu have been severely damaged, once they return to the grassland, they may be eaten and become the nutrients for other forces, so don't wipe out the entire instead of expelling them. The same is true for Goguryeo. Do you understand now?"

After spending a long time spitting, Yang Xin thought about it blankly for a while, but still shook her head irritably, "I don't understand..."

"Then let's wait until I come back!" Sima Ji secretly complained, otherwise it would be better for women to be strong when they were in power. But it would be better if they couldn't figure it out, but he would definitely feel very uncomfortable if he understood it. Who would want to have Jia Nanfeng by his side?

"When I arrive in Pingzhou, I will send the maid I want here. In the bitter and cold land of Pingzhou, my king's body needs someone to take care of."

"Okay!" Yang Xin suppressed the shame, anger and grievance in her heart, and said that she was in love with her and fell in love freely, but she actually asked herself to send other women to her side. How could this happen?

Sima Ji was also very unfair. Isn’t it enough to have a free love relationship than this era? He did not force Yang Xin to sleep, and gave Yang Xin time. He often got to know each other together, what else does a daughter of a sinner want?

In fact, the weather in Youzhou is still hot this month, and Pingzhou is much better, but it is limited to not as hot as imagined. People have misunderstandings about the Northeast and think it is cold here. In fact, the summer in the Northeast is not cooler than in the mainland, but it lasts a little shorter. It only takes one month to make the weather cooler.

King Yan was ready for the winter battle, and of course he did not hope that the preparations he made could be used. Those sheepskin gloves and dog-skin hats cost a lot, and the price of dog-skin has increased in the past two years during the ban.

If there are more, I am embarrassed. The cotton from the Fengguo country has just risen this year. If it is a year later, Sima Ji can also consider matching winter clothes to the army. As for now, it depends on Pingzhou's accumulation.

After returning from Nanzheng, Sima Ji spent money like soil to buy rice, large and small beans, barley, flax, silk, cotton, pattern, silk, cloth, wax and other grains and local specialties, and also rushed to explore the potential of the country's closure, for this battle. So he absolutely did not want to fail. He prepared so many things just to calculate everything.

He also gave Yang Xin a lot of tasks, saying that King Yan, who only believed in my family, was on the way and followed the Liaoxi Corridor to Pingzhou. This was not the first time he came, but it was winter last time, and the weather was cold and the weather was so cold that he had no time to see the scenery.

This corridor is indeed not suitable for the advance of the army. Fortunately, Liaoxi County is still in the hands of the Jin Dynasty. If it is in the hands of the enemy, it is a very risky thing to go out of the pass. According to Sima Ji, the scale of the marching suitable for the Liaoxi Corridor is about 20,000 people. This scale can ensure timely reactions and will not cause too much burden on Youzhou. Of course, it is not impossible to do so like the million-dollar army of the Sui Dynasty. It depends on luck. The Sui Dynasty divided its troops in twenty-four ways, and its operation difficulty is far better than that of the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu.

If the number of 24 armies is similar, it is estimated that the first army will be 20,000.

Five days later, Sima Ji quietly entered Xiangping, where the Dongyi School Guard Mansion was located. Xiangping was as usual, with nothing unusual. That night, the generals and generals of the Dongyi School Guard Mansion entered the Dongyi School Guard Mansion with doubts, not knowing why his commander summoned him.

Since spring, they have been tortured by He Long. They gathered from time to time. According to the order of the Dongyi Captain, they led their own troops to show off their muscles. Many generals and schools were dissatisfied with Goguryeo and complained to He Long. Are you playing with the princes? Do you think of yourself as the Emperor of Zhou?

However, more than a dozen generals entered the mansion and found that Dongyi Captain He Long was sitting below like him, while the first seat was a very young person. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. The generals who were familiar with He Long quickly winked.

"Cough..." He Long coughed softly and attracted his attention, then bowed to the courtesy, "Generals, follow me to see General Zhendong, His Highness the King of Yan."

"I, Sima Ji, relying on the trust of the court and the kindness of His Majesty, temporarily take the position of General Zhendong." Sima Ji slowly looked up at these generals of Pingzhou Army. "Since the beginning of spring, the Dongyi Captain has made you constantly train troops to shock Goguryeo. I wonder if you have any complaints in your heart?"

After a tidy society, who dares to complain? I heard that this immediate boss is best at motivating morale, which is to behead him. Under the control of his desire to survive, who dares to complain? He is convinced by His Highness Yan's strict military discipline!

"I believe you are true!" Sima Ji Shishi stood up, not caring about what these people were thinking. "He Long has sent someone to notify your family. The military has been busy recently and may have to go west to attack Hetao. Let your family not worry, you can stay in the Dongyi School Guard's Mansion recently."

"What does the general mean? We are all loyal to Your Majesty!" There are always people who are outspoken. It is no wonder that Sima Ji is really a bit clear of dissidents, and it is inevitable that these generals will think too much.

However, Sima Ji signaled to be calm. It was not that the Eight Kings Rebellion had begun. He had not had time to do such a thing. He said calmly, "Because I really want to start a war, I feel sorry for you. I don't believe you, but I am in your mansion, and I have to do it in order to ensure the secret!" When he said this, he glanced at the generals with a sinister look, and said coldly, "Do you understand?"

"It depends on the command of the general!" Many generals looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They thought they were going to say goodbye to the world, and a few people even thought that the King of Yan was going to rebel. Now, when they saw that they were only living here for a few days, they suddenly felt like they had survived the disaster.

After scaring, Sima Ji sat down and talked about the important matter. Of course, it was mainly to inspire the morale of the Pingzhou army, improve patriotism, and serve the three armies. So he said, "I have a word first. This war was initiated by me to destroy the great trouble of Goguryeo, because my fief is too close to Goguryeo, and this disaster cannot be kept. You and the Pingzhou army under the Dongyi Captain, whether you agree or not, this battle must be fought."

After these remarks, the morale of many generals and schoolmen had dropped to 50%. Sima Ji seemed to be left alone, ignoring He Long's entangled expression and continued, "Under the premise that the war must begin, you have two paths at present, one is to die at the hands of the Goguryeo people, and the other is to kill the Goguryeo people. The former, you must have died in vain, the latter, you can return triumphantly and get rewards from the court. To be honest, during the Southern Expedition, I was awarded thirty-seven of the imperial guards and generals of the imperial guards were awarded marquis. You may guess that 17 people should have some motivation to go to war."

The seventeen generals and schoolmen nodded one after another, as if what the general said was very reasonable, and his morale unknowingly recovered to 70%.

"As for the beautiful wife and concubines, and treasures, the army led by me has always been self-sufficient. As long as you don't deliberately massacre the city, this is a small mistake that can be forgiven." After Sima Ji finished speaking, he looked at the generals and wanted to try, "How to choose depends on you."

"Please give me the order!" The neat call sounded in the lobby like a thunder, which scared He Long on the side.

"I pay great attention to efficiency and have some understanding of the terrain of Goguryeo. There are five passes at the junction of Hepingzhou. As long as one breaks through, the gateway of Goguryeo can be opened. I hope to take it down in one go." Sima Ji calmly put forward his request, "This is a door, and the place inside is huge."
