Although war is inevitable, it has not reached the level of 100,000 yuan. Any war requires a certain amount of preparation time. Relying on the original accumulation, Yecheng will only send 30,000 to 40,000 troops. If you want to go all out to attack Jicheng in the north, even if Sima Yong has confidence in the army in Yecheng, he will not be so arrogant.

"Father, now the letters from Luoyang and the letters from Yan in Jicheng are all trying to win over the father." Sima Suo looked at Sima Ji's letter and said, "Now the father is invincible and can be attained with all the best."

"It can also be said to be a dilemma." Sima Yong added calmly, "Sima Ji guarded Jicheng for many years. Unlike other vassal kings, his vassal state was in Youzhou, and he had a deep foundation. The vassal state of the country was selected by one in a hundred miles, and he was restrained by Youping two states. Although the army of the two states was not large, there were still 35,000 people. For many years, he had been in contact with the Xianbei and had been in the same market for ten years. This time he married a woman from the leader of the four Xianbei tribes as his wife. Now, it is really an extraordinary method."

"Recently, I have been thinking about it. If he had been planning to fight against the court, all this would have been over." Sima Yong said afterwards that Sima Ji had done everything in the past was within permission, and he had always been considered respectful. When he turned against him, he realized that he had already lost his head.

"What my father meant is that King Yan had a rebellious intention?" Sima Xue was startled and was frightened by his father's inference. If his father was right, then when did he start preparing for it? Could it be when he just succeeded to the throne ten years ago?

"It may not be necessary. Maybe it's just about to fight against the order of the vassal reduction, but I didn't expect that things would evolve to this point." Sima Yong was stunned and shook his head slightly, only giving this explanation. Even if he was following the time, he couldn't believe that a teenage child was preparing to rebel ten years ago. It was just a matter of being prepared to resist the order of the vassal reduction.

If it had been to confront the court ten years ago, this kind of scheming would be a little too terrible. It was no less than Sima Shi, who raised 3,000 dead soldiers and launched the Gaopingling Incident in one fell swoop.

"What does father mean is that two people will not help each other?" Sima Xue pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"As a father, I mean... to attack Jicheng in the north, but now I have to stabilize Sima Ji." Sima Yong suddenly smiled slightly, "The court in the capital is still there, Sima Ji is still a little lonely. Besides, if you want to compete in the Central Plains, you can't leave a military town behind you, right?"

Sima Ji always felt that when he was competing for the Central Plains, the danger behind him would appear and disappear, so he sent troops to solve the disasters around Pingzhou and be harmonious with the four Xianbei bordering Youzhou. Only by letting the danger behind him disappear, he dared to consider the many military and town issues in the Central Plains.

The reason is the same. Sima Yong did not hide his desire to fight for power and profit. Who would choose not to be able to control the world? It is not difficult to look at the map. When Sima Yong saw the location of military towns everywhere, he would naturally have an idea. Why is Jicheng so annoying?

Sima Ji felt like an obstacle when he looked at Yecheng. Sima Yong felt like a mistake when he looked at Jicheng. The King of Yan felt that the unstable Xianbei might be subjected to back pricks. Coincidentally, the King of Hejian thought so too. If it was really time to compete for the Central Plains, who could guarantee that Sima Ji would not give him a back prick.

There is an astonishing consistency between the King of Hejian and Yan in this regard, believing that if the heroes compete, the other party will be a disaster, one is a roadblock, and the other is a potential threat. They will also salivate the strong city in the hands of the other party.

Eliminate the other party and let me go all over Hedong. This temptation of Sima Yong cannot be regarded as non-existent. Even if you do not take the land of Youzhou for the time being, as long as you destroy the power behind it and create a vacuum, the back of Yecheng will be much safer. In the future, you will not have to worry about the threat from the rear.

What's more, Sima Yong still feels that he has a great advantage now. At least many military towns are nominally obeying Luoyang's orders. Sima Ji is now in an isolated and helpless state, regardless of whether he was framed by Sun Xiu in Luoyang. He can uphold the righteousness to attack him. If he has such conditions, he will not do it. Do he still have to worry about the friendship with Sima Ji's royal family?

Yes, until now, Sima Yong didn't believe the cause of the incident, just because Sima Ji took away two princesses from Luoyang. He didn't believe that King Yan did a positive and nonsensical thing, and he would anger Sun Xiu without any benefit. There must be something hidden behind it.

I have to say that he looked up to Sima Ji, and the King of Yan was so nonsense, just fighting the court for the sake of the two princesses.

"It takes time to recruit soldiers in Qingzhou, and the Zhongshu Ling also knows that I don't have too many soldiers and horses in my hands, so it is natural to fight against the King of Yan, who disrespects the court. But food and grass take time, and recruitment also takes time." Sima Ji, the King of Qi, who was in Qingzhou, respectfully welcomed Sun Xiu's secret envoy. After listening to the purpose of the visit, he said with a difficult look, "I hope that the Zhongshu Ling can give Ji time to train troops, and after the assembly, he will attack the King of Yan in the north and support the country."

"Your Highness of the King of Qi clearly understands that Sima Ji is disrespectful of the imperial court, and he is suspected of being a territorial territory. All the royal families in Beijing are indignant. Even the royal families who have left the town have submitted a letter to attack him. The Secretariat Ling Nianzai has written letters to persuade him. However, Sima Ji does not repent. In order to demonstrate the prestige of the court, he must be attacked." The secret envoy bowed deeply to Sima Ji, "Now the Prime Minister and the Secretariat Ling are beyond tolerance. At that time, the imperial edict will be conveyed to all places and call on the kings to attack."

"Jiu will naturally obey the orders of the court, and will naturally send troops when the time comes. Now Jiu is filled with righteous indignation and wishes to leave the recruitment training and win the battlefield as soon as possible." Sima Jiu swears, with a loyal face on his face, and looks like he will not be able to fight for the army without killing this beast. Finally, he said affirmatively, "Jiu will wait for the imperial edict at that time."

"This is the best, so I can reply to the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Prime Minister." The secret envoy pinched his beard with satisfaction, preparing to rest in Qingzhou for a few days before returning to Luoyang.

It was not until the other party left the mansion that Sima Jiong's smile gradually disappeared, and a disdain appeared on his face. He walked out of the main hall and came to the yard, looking into the west, rather than facing the north where Jicheng was.

"My husband means that the original generals and school of Youzhou Army will not change. The students of Yanshan Camp will start with the boss, the chief, the sergeant, etc. Don't worry about the original generals and school. King Yan never wanted to dismiss the generals and school." Yang Xin whispered to Feng Ji, "After the mixing, everyone needs to worry more."

"I don't know where King Yan is now?" Feng Ji was a little surprised. Why didn't Sima Ji appear in the past few days?
