Being thought of by an old man who is thousands of miles away makes Sima Ji goose bumps, but pretending not to know is obviously the best way to do it at the moment, but I just feel a little bumpy. A little bit of a candid will make a big plan. Perhaps Sima Yi's successful experience is trying to remind him, but Sima Ji did not react much in the end.

"King Zhao may have misunderstood. I am also a mistake without intention. This is really a disaster." Sima Ji smiled bitterly and said with a little self-deprecating, "Will someone plot against me this time be a serious illness?

"Your Highness is better to be careful, I didn't hear anything." Sun Lu quickly waved his hand to clear the relationship. If the matter in the royal family was easy to solve, it would not cause the queen to have a headache. He would better treat it as if he hadn't heard anything from the King of Yan.

"I am just a false statement. I have just recovered, so I have no time to cause trouble for others, let alone the whole family." After finding an excuse for myself, Sima Ji exposed the matter at once, which was no less than hypocrisy.

He had no choice but to deal with King Zhao, and he could not stay in Luoyang forever. This was equivalent to not being able to show his presence in front of Jia Nanfeng, but Sima Lun could do this. Since the other party could see Jia Nanfeng at all times and could not do this, it would be better not to respond to this. Temporary concessions were just to stabilize the position.

But when I think about it carefully, why is it so frustrating? After Sun Lu left Youzhou, Sima Ji was still angry when he thought about it.

This has nothing to do with everyone getting drunk and I woke up alone. Even Sima Ji woke up and did not disturb others to continue sleeping. He could be missed by irrelevant people when he was struggling with his own country? Could it be that he would not be able to be with you?

"Husband, is Huangmenlang really saying it? Are you not in harmony with King Zhao?" Yang Xin wanted to speak but stopped. Her identity should not have been spoken in the royal family. But when she saw the man frowning, she should always say something.

"Ha! Just him? Let's see it later." Sima Ji smiled coldly. He could only guarantee that Sima Lun was even worse than in history. It was not too late for hypocrites to take revenge for ten years, let alone that it would not take ten years at all.

As spring comes, the ice and snow melt, a fire has just come to an end on the earth north of Yanshan Mountain. People and animals that have lost their lives will become nutrients for the earth, making the aquatic plants next year more vigorous.

This is the norm for thousands of years in the northern grasslands, but it has been rare in recent years, but it has never disappeared. Every fire may cause large-scale wars, and of course there may be nothing.

Yuwen and Murong fought again and at this time, asking Sima Ji to explain that it may be because of the strong secretion of male hormones. After all, it is the season for mating again on the grassland.

Of course, the King of Yan would not deliberately understand how many people died in this fire and merger. Anyway, from his perspective, the more, the better, but it must not reach the level of one party annexation of the other party. If he dies, he will agree with it. It will not work for one party to grow stronger.

The relationship between the Yuwen family and the Murong family has always been very poor, and in fact there are certain ethnic conflicts among them. In the words of later generations, this should be regarded as the pain of ethnic integration. The Yuwen family was not actually a Xianbei person. The Yuwen family was actually composed of the Xiongnu people. However, after the Northern Xiongnu disappeared, the grasslands changed into heaven and the Xianbei people advanced westward. As the remaining Xiongnu tribe, the Yuwen family had to take some Xianbei actions.

People in the Central Plains saw that the Hu people outside the Great Wall were similar, but they still understood the difference between them. The Jin Dynasty did not care about the Yuwen family, which did not mean that other tribes could treat the Yuwen family equally. Among the several tribes, the relationship between the Murong family and the Yuwen family was the worst, and it also involved the chassis issue, so who would let others be next to each other?

But this time, Sima Ji decided to use it once. There was nothing wrong with the border. Isn’t it just that he, the northernmost vassal king of the Great Jin Dynasty, wasn’t it important? Sima Ji, who was well versed in the power, would have to use a conflict at this time to make his actions to repair the city defense of Youzhou more reasonable. In his opinion, the border is uneasy.

I asked someone to send a letter to Yuwen and Murong. Sima Ji just scolded King Zhao and insisted on touching himself after he was irrelevant. He turned around and played the role of King Zhao to touch the Hu people. If the leaders of the two departments had similar tempers to King Yan, he would definitely send Sima Ji's remarks about destroying King Zhao, "What do you do if you have nothing to do?"

But they still dare not confront the Great Jin Dynasty in name. Sima Ji, who pretended to be a powerful tiger, was enough to shock the two parts.

In fact, Sima Ji doesn't care whether the mediation can be successful. It's better if you don't succeed. You can go back and continue. The King of Yan is just pretending to be a hypocritical and expressing his importance to Luoyang and the principle of improving Youzhou's defense. There is no absolute fairness and justice in the world. Just talk about people and things.

Of course, Sima Ji did not have the military power in Youzhou, and this matter needs to be handled by Xu Meng, the governor of Youzhou. As for the method, of course, he showed his power. The best demonstration tool in the world is the army, and there is no more suitable existence than the army.

"This matter requires asking the capital for an order. The King of Yan is not impatient." Xu Meng replied after understanding the causes and consequences. Even the chief officials of the border cannot call the army without authorization. The powerful relationship between this is extraordinary, and it is normal for Xu Meng to be cautious.

It takes time for Luoyang to reply, and Sima Ji's itinerary is also very urgent. Officials from all over the country have begun to collect corvee labor. He no longer cares about this matter, and it has things every year. The King of Yan, who is already mainly focused on accumulating strength, of course, he has to see whether his hardware can support the war.

Many reforms are always described in one word, enriching the country and strengthening the army, which shows that military strength is often the driving force of reform. Such examples are common in Chinese and foreign history, and external pressures can often stimulate the driving force of reform.

The Jin Dynasty did not have this motivation. The so-called external troubles were incomparable to the Huns at the time. They were only facing the split Xianbei tribes, but this did not mean that there was no purpose to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The King of Yan respected the Luoyang Imperial Army, which ended the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. It was precisely because of this respect that we had to prepare more for the response.

As for what kind of troops are attracted by them, Sima Ji chose the heavy cavalry that conforms to the trend of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Europe after the 14th century. Whether Youzhou can support such a heavy cavalry depends on how to raise it.

If it is used as a standing army and is ready to fight at all times, it is impossible to support it. The entire Han Empire only raised tens of thousands of cavalry. Liu Xiu won the support of the cavalry stationed in the border town and continued the Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty Youzhou Tuqi was the most famous. This famous Tuqi unit not only helped Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu seize the world, but also made great contributions to the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also became the military pillar of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Annotation of the Book of Later Han: "Tuqi can confuse military formations." From the literal sense of the Tuqi, it can be seen that this is a cavalry unit with charge as its main means of combat. Wang Mang usurped the throne and caused chaos in the world, but the Youzhou generation was relatively stable. Emperor Gengshi had very limited control over Youzhou, and Geng Yan, who claimed to be massacres of 300 cities, was the son of the prefect of Shanggu.

However, the cavalry in Youzhou was at least the elite accumulated by the entire Western Han Dynasty. Sima Ji alone supported such a standing army with his own fence. It might have just been built and will be used to suppress the peasant uprising in Youzhou.

But breaking down the steps of a standing army can save a lot of costs. In fact, the Han Dynasty did the same for ordinary prefectures and counties, hoarding weapons and armies for emergencies, but they did not expect them to come in handy, because if the exercises are performed at any time, the costs will skyrocket.

Sima Ji also understood this point. He had personally entered the Luoyang Armory. The Armory was said to have hoarded the world's soldiers and was enough to arm a million troops. In the Gaopingling Incident, seizing the Armory was the top priority of the Sima family.

When a weapon is placed on a weapon rack, it actually does not cost much. But as long as a person picks up it, puts on armor, and pulls a war horse, the cost will soar to the point that ordinary forces cannot tolerate it.

Therefore, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, those who claimed to be hundreds of thousands of string control men were everywhere. The obviously stronger Liao and Jin did not have so many so-called cavalry, and they still couldn't afford it. This is the reason. Sima Ji made the weapons there and put them there, so he would not worry that the copper coins in the Yan Prince's Mansion disappeared.

When raising horses, they were raised from Pingzhou, and when they were made, they were placed in Beiping County. As for the soldiers, they were stocked first among the people, and they shared the cost step by step, offsetting the embarrassment of feeding a large army in Youzhou.

Taking advantage of the time of Luoyang's reply, Sima Ji entered the fiefdom of Beiping County. This is really a fiefdom. Anyone is explicitly prohibited from entering, otherwise he will face an unbearable end.

The nominal Yanwang Villa is located in the valley. As soon as you enter the valley, Sima Ji can feel a different place. The water flow is a little turbid, and you can see the debris deposited under the water surface. These are all iron slag and carbonite sediment. However, the time is still short, and you can't smell the pungent smell when standing by the river.

"Is it the same in the workshops hidden in the mountains in the early days of Europe?" Sima Ji looked at it and said in his heart, and then he no longer cared about it, it was still incomparable to the pollution in the later industrial era.

The main purpose of Sima Ji's visit this time is of course to see where the metallurgy has reached and whether the heavy cavalry he imagined can appear. For this reason, he also specially brought Jurchen heavy arrows to try whether the product is qualified.

The person responsible for forging the armor was a Persian man named Sepolis, a very ancient Persian name. This Persian blacksmith, who was nearly forty years old, was sold to Youzhou thousands of miles away to forging the armor. It was not because his skills were much better than those of the blacksmith of the Jin Dynasty, but because he was a foreigner and was not easy to escape, so the locals were not sure.
