Chapter 476: Wang Jun of Bingzhou
In addition to Sima Jiong, the strongest man is Sima Ying. Once Sima Ying withdraws the troops, Sima Jiong's pressure will be greatly reduced. If Sima Meng stays in the capital to seize credit, once Sima Jiong comes back to his senses and the two sides have a dispute, Sima Meng will be at an absolute disadvantage.
Without Sima Ying in front, Sima Yong was not qualified to compete. There was still Sima Xuan there. But he had contacted Sima Xuan recently. King Fan Yang obviously continued to receive rewards, but he would never stand up to grab credit. It is okay to get benefits, but he would definitely not take risks. Even if he is considering returning to Xuchang now, he would show that he would rectify the farm and sericulture and disperse his army.
"It's impossible to do anything, it seems that I'm leaving too." Sima Yong looked at the Qi Mansion, which was built and built, and spoke unwillingly. He also came to Sima Ji's mansion in person. After Sima Ying, Sima Ji and Sima Xin left one after another, he could only return to Yecheng to wait for the opportunity. Now he has to make a final arrangement and regard his sincerity in leaving the capital, I believe it should be not difficult.
Sima Yong stayed in Sima Jiong's mansion for a whole day. When he left, Sima Jiong personally left the mansion to see him off. Now the capital has finally fallen into his hands, and all the revenge in his heart can be shown.
Sima Ji's car at the Yellow River Ferry Stopped, and the Youzhou infantry not far away were crossing the floating bridge. Sima Ji walked down and bid farewell to King Yiyi of Dong'an. Xuzhou was on the south bank of the Yellow River, and it was not the same route as Sima Ji's return to the north. Now the two are going to separate. "King Dong'an led the imperial guards ten years ago. I believe that when he arrived in Xuzhou, he could stabilize the local area and shock the south of the Yangtze River."
Halfway through this, Xuzhou can shock not only Jiangnan, but it is hard to say what shocks other directions.
"This is naturally, I'll say goodbye." Sima Yao also bowed straightforwardly, "It's not too early, King Yan, I'll give it away."
"Okay, let's go." Sima Ji watched the other party slowly disappear and looked at the surging Yellow River. This was different from the Yellow River he knew. The beautiful mountains and rivers were expected. The Yellow River channel before the Northern Song Dynasty was generally stable. In addition to another suspected case recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period, only small-scale diverting occurred during the period of Emperor Wu of Han and Wang Mang.
Until today, although there have been many floods in ten years, the Yellow River channel is still very stable. Sima Ji felt that the reason why the Yellow River was unstable and always changed its course later was that in addition to the destruction of the environment, it was mainly related to the fact that our Song Dynasty came to the Song Dynasty three times in a row, and was eventually educated by the Yellow River.
Most of the troops returning north had already crossed the river. When Sima Ji was about to get on the car and crossed the river, a flying cavalry appeared in his sight. After the flying cavalry dismounted, he reported, "Thank you to King Yan, King Hejian has already talked with King Qi about the withdrawal of troops, and recommended Wang Jun, General Ningbei of Yuzhou, to serve as the governor of Bingzhou."
"Wang Jun? He! Why did you forget him? Just scratching the ground? It's a mistake." Sima Ji said calmly to himself, greeting the guards, "Call General Yingyang, and continue to return north and don't stop!"
Unexpectedly, he went to Luoyang with the idea of liquidation. After liquidation for a long time, a big fish was leaked. Wang Jun had a great relationship with the death of Prince Sima Yu. Under normal circumstances, it was absolutely impossible to escape. However, although Wang Jun himself responded to the attack on Sima Lun, he did not lead his troops in person. Sima Ji did not see anyone, and there were many things to enter Luoyang, so he forgot about him.
After the death of the prince, Wang Jun was later promoted to General Ningbei and Governor of Qingzhou. Later, after Sima Jiong was in charge of the governor of Qingzhou, Wang Jun was transferred to Governor of Yuzhou. Sima Lun's usurpation of the throne had a great relationship with the death of the prince. Therefore, when the King of Qi issued a letter to the world, Wang Jun was not concerned about this, fearing that the kings would be liquidated after victory.
Wang Jun supported Sima Lun at this time and confiscated all the siege issued to Yuzhou, so that no one in the country could go to support the King of Qi, etc., but the situation developed very quickly. The key was that within two days, the news of the King of Hejian Sima Yong, who was in the north, had sent troops to Yuzhou. On one side, the King of Qi advanced westward and on the other side, the King of Hejian went south. After considering it, Wang Jun quickly surrendered to Sima Yong, who was also indecisive.
This process was only a few days later, and Wang Jun's actions did not attract Sima Ji's attention. Moreover, Wang Jun chose to join Sima Yong and avoided Sima Ji's sight.
"The move of King Hejian should be for me. Wang Jun should know that I have killed many people related to the death of the prince. It is too late to win over now." Sima Ji leaned against the carriage and nodded his head with the carriage. He looked a little funny, but Shi Chao, who was riding in the same carriage, did not dare to laugh.
Bingzhou is just west of Youzhou. Yecheng, King Sima Yong of Hejian, happened to block the route to Youzhou to the south. Once Wang Jun was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, Youzhou was blocked, and there was only a way out to the east and north. Pingzhou was to the east and Xianbei to the north. This is a good thing.
"According to the saying that King Qi shouldn't do this, King Hejian is obviously ambitious." Shi Chao said without understanding.
"Maybe stability is overwhelming. I just assisted in the administration and was unwilling to make a big move, so I went with the flow." Sima Ji smiled. It was just a big battle, and Sima Ji probably did not have the will to continue to fight. It is reasonable to make compromises and give benefits. The ruling people often like to do this.
The previous ruling Yang Jun, Sima Liang, and Sima Lun all won people's hearts through extensive rewards. Sima Jiong did not do such a low-level thing. Sima Jiong didn't need to do this at all: Sima Jiong was not like Yang Jun, Sima Liang and others who rely entirely on chance or fraud to obtain the ruling people. He had just made unparalleled achievements and his prestige still existed.
It is completely reasonable to act in a high-profile manner to make reconciliation, but this makes Sima Ji very passive. Although he is not afraid of Sima Yong and Wang Jun, who would have a choice would be willing to face this situation.
"Shi Chao!" Sima Ji, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly, "The army of Changshan and Zhao cannot retreat, and they must station troops north of Hejian. As for Wang Jun to the west, I have a way to deal with it. Even if he and Liu Yuan go together, I will not be afraid. I will leave the southern line to you, be careful of the army in Yecheng."
Since Sima Yong was preparing to make himself uncomfortable, Sima Ji was not willing to withdraw his troops from Changshan and Zhao in Jizhou. It is better to occupy his own population than the enemy. As for Sima Yong's fiefdom of Hejian, he would always threaten him.
Sima Ji would not pretend to be unseen when he had such obvious hostility towards himself. Changshan Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom were his territory now, and no one could take it away.
