"Your Highness, you call me?" Half an hour later, General Jibi Meng Guan rushed to the foreign army camp and entered the central army's tent. He saw Sima Ji sitting in the middle, as if he was waiting for him.

Sima Ji didn't say nonsense, and took out the edict to Meng Guan, pointing to the seal on it and whispered, "General Meng Guan, the Cropped Crossbow, received the order!"

"General Meng Guan, the crossbow, kowtowed and received the order!" Meng Guan had been in the inner palace and could see at a glance that the seal on it was real, so she knelt down in front of Sima Ji to receive the order.

"The bandits in Guanzhong are full of troubles, the people are displaced, and the thief leader Qi has been in trouble for thousands of years. Now, tens of thousands of bandit soldiers have been gathered. Your Majesty has appointed you as the general of the expedition, follow me to fight westward, defeat Qi for tens of years, and return a peace in Guanzhong." Sima Ji took the imperial edict and read the above meaning, and the level of ancient Chinese can only be said.

"Men Meng Guan received the order!" Meng Guan was filled with joy. Although he had made contributions to helping Jia Nanfeng kill Yang Jun, Meng Guan is still a fifth-rank official and is not a prominent official position in the ninth-rank Zhongzheng system. It is far from the time to calm the heart of progress. Meng Guan now also needs an opportunity to show it. Therefore, knowing that the imperial edict appointed him as the general of the expedition, he not only did not have a trace of fear in his heart, but was quite excited.

When he was officially making achievements, Sima Ji could tell from the other party's expression that Meng Guan was almost waiting for this opportunity, and under normal circumstances there was no such opportunity. No wonder Meng Guan had won consecutive battles in history until he captured Qi Wannian alive. How terrible it was for those who lacked the channels for ascending to the rise.

"Waiting with me to wait for other generals!" Sima Ji helped Meng Guan up. How could he bring such a few generals to the fortunate and 50,000 to the expedition? Soon General Anxi Xiahou Jun and General Zhenwei Lu Bolianjue came.

Xiahou Jun is the eldest son of Xiahou Wei. You can tell at the glance that his surname is very good. He was the governor of Bingzhou, and then he decisively bowed his head in front of Sima, without ending up with another hero of Xiahou Xuan.

Lu Bo was a literati who recommended Sima Zhao in his early years. The only similarity between the two was that they were mature and persistent. To be honest, they were very old, especially compared with Meng Guan and Sima Ji.

"Please sit down, I haven't waited for a long time," Sima Ji sighed, reached out to signal his seat, and then spoke slowly, "Your Majesty is looking forward to the victory of the army. I wonder what good strategies do the generals have?"

"The King of Yan commanded the Central Imperial Army, and the King of Qin's Guanzhong has the Guanzhong army. As long as we cooperate with each other, the leader of Qi Wannian will be wiped out!" General Zhenwei Lu Bo spoke with a standard set of words mixed with the words. Sima Ji scratched his head when he heard this, and then looked at General Anxi Xiahou Jun, ready to hear what the old man had intellectual views.

It really didn't disappoint Sima Ji. Xiahou Jun talked about mountains and geography from the seasons, and there were many insights in it. As for how to fight, he didn't talk about it at all. This was the first time that King Yan met someone who looked more like Zhao Kuo than himself.

At this time, Sima Ji also knew that it was enough to expect these two old men to think too much and be obedient. At the critical moment, it would be better to discuss countermeasures with Meng Guan. "The two generals said it well!" Sima Ji encouraged the two plainly, why should he keep such a person? Or find a chance to kill them on the battlefield.

"The general thinks, how powerful are the guards in the imperial guards?" It was night, Sima Ji inspected the camp and followed Meng Guan around him. The two walked and chatted along the way. When talking about the imperial guards, Sima Ji was still a little unsure. People all said that Luoyang's central imperial guards are the best-in-class strong army in the world, and their combat effectiveness is above other military towns, but he has never seen them before. Who knows what is going on?

"Your Highness, if you send 40,000 troops, the imperial guards will be enough to resist a 100,000 army. This will be guaranteed." Unlike Sima Ji, Meng Guan himself was an imperial guard and was very familiar with the central imperial guards in Luoyang, and he knew it well.

The Suwei Army itself is another name for the imperial guards. Whether it is the Luoyang imperial guards or the army of other military towns, they can be called the Suwei Army and the Suwei Army, which are first dispatched from the hereditary military households.

Military households have special household registrations and have served in the army for generations. They usually live in centralized areas and cannot intermarry with civilians. They will never be allowed to leave their military household registration unless the government releases rabbits. The government recruits children from military households to serve as guards. There are three clans in the family to draw two clans as soldiers, and there are five clans in the family to draw three clans as soldiers. After they serve, they will not be replaced for life. Once the local soldiers defect and die, other male clans in the family will be replaced.

The same is true in Youzhou. Sima Ji has always been very frank about the issue of the military system and never thinks that the military system is a decisive factor. Anyway, it will become more and more distorted over time. The key is its current combat effectiveness. Besides, the military system has never been fixed. During the Southern Expedition, Luoyang ordered the conscript of the people from the Shanyue to be recruited to serve as soldiers. This is not an exception. The ability to conquer trees during the reign of Emperor Wu was already used.

With Meng Guan’s statement, Sima Ji increased his confidence in his heart. Since the other party said that, and the Luoyang Imperial Army has a reputation, Sima Ji had no reason to worry too much.

"Since that's the case, I swear to go to the battle three days later." Sima Ji's face turned solemn and said coldly, "Go west to Tongguan, then go out of Xiaoguan to go north to fight against Qi Wannian's rebels."

"Your Highness, aren't you going to meet with Your Highness Qin before making a decision?" Meng Guan was shocked and secretly regretted it. It seemed that after His Highness Yan heard that the imperial guards had a strong combat effectiveness, his prediction of the war was too smooth.

"I am quite anxious and I have to go back to Youzhou to farm." Sima Ji glanced at Meng Guan and asked in a long voice, "The general is afraid, right? This is not good."

Three days later, the sky was cloudless and there were gusts of breeze blowing on my face. It was a great day. In the camp of imperial guards outside Luoyang, 40,000 central imperial guards gathered, dressed in a well-equipped manner, and the Jin army flag behind me roared in the wind.

Sima Ji was also dressed neatly, walking towards the General Stage step by step, facing the 40,000 soldiers, and the neat military formations that could not be seen at first sight, complete armor, and shiny swords and guns could all give people unlimited confidence.

"There are many bandits in Guanzhong and the people are living in poverty. Your Majesty has high hopes for this battle. The leader of Qi Wannian's small tribe will be proud of it if there is any progress. This time, the army went on a battle, paving the road and building a bridge when it encounters a mountain, and encounters a water." Sima Ji said for a long time, and pointed to the West and shouted, "Go away."
