Chapter two hundred and thirty seventh mission
"Husband isn't going to draw a cake for Xin'er?" Under Yang Xin's wide sleeves, Cengcao jade fingers scratched Sima Ji's palm, and his pretty face was full of strong and sharpness. His words were full of ambiguity.
"Don't make trouble, I'm busy with trivial matters for my husband. I'll talk about such serious matters in the evening." Sima Ji scolded him pretending to be serious.
In the field of painting cakes, the King of Yan did not need anyone to teach himself. If he could draw cakes, he would draw cakes. When he couldn't draw cakes, he could drink medicine. The so-called "no seal" and "no reward" refers to this aspect.
Don’t be impatient in everything. Sima Ji cannot expect to expand his power to the point of beating the world within one year. But if you do it step by step, it is not impossible to achieve it. Rome was not built in one day. Is it the capital of my great emperor?
Everything will be clear after the New Year, and some things will inevitably happen. Whether it is done or not, it will not change the general trend. Take the current situation as an example. The name of the Xianbei people is known to everyone in the world. However, the Wuhuan tribe, which was famous for me a few decades ago, did not exist in the Jin Dynasty, but it has gradually entered the stage of demise. Now how many people take the Wuhuan that was passed down by word of mouth? People are forgetful. Weak means weakness. The so-called lying on the side of the bed should not allow others to sleep soundly. This is the truth.
The three Koreans and their descendants pretended to be dead on the side of the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years. The result was that the territory it controlled was expanded by nearly 300 times, and it eroded step by step until the Yalu River. It was the best among neighboring countries.
Sima Ji didn't hate Hu people very much. After all, you have to see who the final winner was. If it weren't for peanuts during the Republic of China, Mongolia would not have been able to succeed in independence. However, the Than South Korean vassal states, which were clearly obedient, but in fact, the erosion of every step of the way was really unacceptable. China does not afford to lose, and it is too disgusting to lose like this.
Now, Sima Ji has the Liaodong in his hand, which is the Liaoning in later generations, destroyed Goguryeo and Jilin in later generations. If he successfully included Wuji in his account, the Northeast of more than one million square kilometers is under control. He has already been initially worthy of his identity. If he wants to make progress, the three Hans will inevitably be eliminated.
"I don't believe it anymore. I can't even destroy a South Korea in the imperial capital and the three eastern provinces." Sima Ji was so angry that if he lost, he wouldn't be able to mess around. The Eight Kings Rebellion was not qualified to participate.
The most urgent task now is to calm the four Xianbei tribes in the northern part of Youzhou. Sima Ji understood one truth very well, that is, he would only find one enemy for himself every time. Before he resolved this enemy, he would never start a war on multiple sides. This is not just the experience of fighting from Germany on both sides. The same is true for the dispute between Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang on the coastal defense and barrier defense. Sometimes he could only choose one of two.
The current Sanhan tribe does not have a talented and stubborn person, at least Sima Ji doesn't have it in his mind. Even if there is, the strength of both sides is too unbalanced, at least he, the King of Yan, should not get a 24-way division, and it is absolutely impossible to lose.
There was also a lot of room for operation in the Jin Dynasty in diplomacy. On the surface, the Xianbei tribes were still led by the Duan Xianbei. In terms of paper strength, the Duan Xianbei was still the leader of the Xianbei outside the Great Wall, and the other Yuwen families, Murong families, and Tuoba families still had to look up. However, in Sima Ji's view, the Duan Xianbei was in the middle, just like the Wei Kingdom in the Warring States Period. If you are not careful, it will be the end of the general trend reversal, and it is not a good position in strategy.
The relationship between several Xianbei tribes is complicated. Unless it is really a face-to-face contest, don’t say who has a better relationship than whom. In vain predictions, maybe they will slap in the face.
Sima Ji's greatest effort this winter is to prepare for friendship with Wujila. This is not a difficult task. It is nothing more than finding some evidence from the Shanhai Jing, which shows that we have been relatives since ancient times. This kind of thing requires either face or inner self. Now the King of Yan obviously wants the inner self. As for the distinction between Chinese and foreigners, the Xianbei should be the most important thing for distinguishing Chinese and foreigners.
Even if you are in a strong stage, you cannot give up diplomacy. Sima Ji understands this principle. Using the small to control the big, and helping the weak is the basic principle of diplomacy. I, Daying, have always been a role model in this regard. I, German relatives, have said goodbye to me. I would rather form an alliance with the Gaul rooster. As long as you delay hegemony over me, you will still not recognize your relatives.
Anyway, it was just a matter of small favors. Sima Ji invited the four Xianbei people to visit Jicheng as guests and controlled a group of nobles who were older than themselves. Who said diplomacy was a boring thing?
While I was pushing the cup and changing the cup, no one could understand the pleasure of the Celestial Kingdom. When I drank and took drugs together, the King of Yan ran away with an incomparable alcoholic force. This is also human nature.
"My husband is drinking too much again, so you should pay attention to your health. Those Hu people have a good alcohol tolerance. Xin'er is afraid that they will make a mistake after drinking." Yang Xin helped Sima Ji to leave, with complaints in her mouth.
"The Xianbei people are a little harder to deal with than the Huns, but they won't deal with that much. They also originated from the current location of the Wuji people. When I find the Daxianbei Mountain, their origin will be changed. Who can know what's going on?" Sima Ji laughed and shaved Yang Xin's nose.
The Xianbei people also originated in the Northeast. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Mongolian Plateau was relatively strong, but in terms of continuity, the northeast direction was the top priority. Some people say that the Xianbei people were the main body of the Mongolians, at least in terms of language, the two were relatives. Sima Ji also thought of this by chance and found the ancestors of the Jurchens to check and balance the Xianbei people.
China has two thousand years of history, and the next thousand years is actually the history of Mongolia, Jurchens and Han people. Anyway, Sima Ji has this confidence that as long as it is a force that originated in the Northeast, he can go up to deal with it. After all, in the eyes of many people in the future, the reputation of Northeasters is not much different from that of Hu people.
One winter was spent in this process of secret preparation. When spring was in full bloom, Sima Ji was gnawing the winter cucumber and listening to Zhang Dalishan’s report. There were not many people recruited by Wuji, but there were also three thousand people. He cooperated with the heavy bow made by craftsmen. I believe that at the beginning of the war, I could have a surprise.
"We have to continue to recruit, and the Pingzhou army needs 20,000 people." Sima Ji looked at the messenger who came back to report the news and said seriously, "You can be bolder. As long as we are not a good meal, are you still afraid that these Hu people will be in trouble?"
