"It seems that if Bingzhou stands on the side of King Hejian, the situation in Youzhou will be somewhat unfavorable." Murong Han looked at the map for a long time and said, "If the king faces attacks from two directions, he will inevitably lose sight of one thing and what do we need to do."

"It's true, but I don't need you to do anything. I just need to maintain pressure in the north and prevent Wang Jun from taking full advantage of his efforts to conquer him." Sima Ji Angran said, "If the Huns participate in the war, it is the time for you to take action. If the Huns do not participate in this matter, I will also have a bottom line and do not need to ask you to help."

If Bingzhou and Jizhou attack at the same time, Youzhou's geographical location is indeed a bit unfavorable, but it depends on what it means. If the war is limited to the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is indeed the case. But if the four Xianbei tribes were included, Sima Ji was the condescending side and had a geographical advantage.

However, in the end, the main force is concentrated on the Bingzhou side or the Jizhou side. Sima Ji has difficulty choosing in this regard. Although his army has an average combat power that exceeds the opponent, the number of people is slightly smaller. If the troops are divided into groups and fight at the same time, they may not have much results. Sima Ji has always felt that the first battle should be fought beautifully and is unwilling to be greedy for too much.

Duan Wuchen and Murong Han nodded, and even hoped that the Huns would join the war. This was a good opportunity for the Xianbei to improve their status. Both of them knew the views of the Hu people within the Jin Dynasty. If they could make contributions in this battle, they could get rid of the embarrassing position of being always discriminated against.

"Master, I don't know how my younger sister has been recently." Duan Wuchen is much more powerful than Murong Han. He can come to Jicheng with a leader, which shows his straightforwardness.

"It's not bad. I respect all the ladies." Sima Ji was stunned, and then he remembered that the other party was his brother-in-law, and replied slowly, "They are all adapting to the environment of Jicheng, and I will treat them well."

"Don't blame me, if you have something that doesn't know the etiquette, I can teach you a lesson." Duan Wuchen knew that he was thinking too much as he said, and that the other party didn't mean that. Now Duan Yan's value to Duan's Xianbei is limited to her being the wife of the King of Yan.

Sima Ji must admit that this feeling is pretty good. This is a paradise for men, and the premise is to have a good background. Those brothers like Yang Xin knew they wanted to be an official day by day.

It was not just Sima Yong and Sima Ying who were staring at Luoyang. Didn’t he have any news about himself? He became increasingly disliked by Sima Jiu. Sima Ji could only shake his head in his heart. The environment made the King of Qi look like a person inside and outside. Many of the so-called dissatisfactions were walked out by people with ulterior motives, and maybe Sima Ying and Sima Yong would be rewarded.

Some of Sima Ji's accused places were obviously untenable, but who told him to be in Luoyang? Everyone was shattering the stage. What achievements could he do as a papermaker? Saying farewell to Duan Wuchen and Murong Han, Sima Ji was making the final preparations. If the fight started this time, he would officially enter the stage where the last vassal king would not be able to stop without the strength.

The attack on Sima Lun can only be considered as a warm-up, and it can even prove that the royal family united and supported the country. If they fight this time, it would be a knockout match, and in the end they could only survive one winner. Sima Ji hoped that person was himself.

The Youzhou fleet generals were transported to the south bank of the canal. In the secret letter, Sima Ji also asked Shi Chao to respect Zhang Bin, not to do anything bad, and not let any mistakes happen. In particular, Zhang Fang, under the King of Hejian, was definitely not an ordinary person, loyal and strategy was enough, and he was a cruel general, so the two of them were careful.

Zhang Fang can be said to have supported half of Sima Yong's army during the Eight Kings Rebellion, and was very loyal. What he lacked was that the bottom line of being a human being was too low. Sima Yong could not hold on in the end and designed to kill Zhang Fang and hoped that Sima Yue could let him go, but in the end he did not avoid being liquidated.

The vassal kings involved in the Eight Kings Rebellion, except for Sima Lun, who became emperor, were the most ambitious among them. Sima Ying did not show much ambition at first, and he was a person who was easily influenced by counselors. He did not have the intention to take charge of the world. The King of Qi was tyrannical, but many measures were indeed trying to restore peace to the world. Only Sima Yong had not changed his goal and was pursuing power.

Sima Ji was very unlucky. His Youzhou happened to be next to the other party. There was a fight between the two sooner or later, which was impossible to escape. Moreover, the two knew this well and were both silently preparing to start the war.

"Your Highness, a case has occurred." Just a month after sending off his two brothers-in-law, Luo Yong appeared in the Yan Palace with some embarrassment and presented a case involving the army.

"The soldiers in the army returned to their hometown to visit their wives and found out that their wives were adulterous?" Sima Ji looked for a long time and asked Luo Yong, "Can this matter be big or small, can there be evidence?"

"Is it a case of Guangning County to capture the evildoer? Or is it handled according to the old rules?" Luo Yong looked at the King of Yan and asked for instructions, "If it weren't for the soldiers in the army, the ministers would never let His Highness know such a small matter."

"It's true that it should be reported when it comes to the army." Sima Ji pursed his lips, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes and ordered, "The situation is now chaotic, and the safety of Youzhou is supported by the army. If the soldiers in the army are taking out their lives and the women in the family are like this, who will have the heart to fight? This is the result of serving the king? Who will fight for me?"

"Your Highness means killing one to warn a hundred? The ministers know." Luo Yong was about to leave after saying that, but Sima Ji stopped him and said, "The two of them are beheaded together. Among the relatives of our family, those with appropriate age will have three years of corvee service. There is no law to write a chapter for me now."

Sima Ji originally wanted to kill only men, but later when he thought of the principle of equality between men and women, he decided to kill both of them. This also reminded him that the status of a soldier was too low and he never thought of this.

Military households are household registrations that are parallel to tenants and slaves. Although they have been in name only in Youzhou, this is not enough. These ordinary soldiers who go to the battlefield still need to improve their status.

Soldiers must have visible privileges to protect, otherwise, they will be on par with slave tenants, and what is the difference between them and the slave army? If the social status does not change, it will degenerate into a feudal army in the future. The commanders of the middle and high-level leaders lead a group of illiterate illiterates who are illiterate.

A person can quickly accept knowledge by literacy, and quickly know which part is not a fatal injury. After being injured, he will respond quickly and his survival rate will greatly increase. Will illiterate who is not even apart from the left and right understand this?

"There are too many things in Jinwei. I have figured it out. I still need a department in charge of the military, which is similar to the work of Jinwei, but it is specifically responsible for the work of the soldiers of the army." Sima Ji looked at Luo Yongdao, "The new department is called Wuwei, who specializes in handling the affairs of soldiers in the army. All the rights of soldiers are under the Wuwei. The generals of the management department shall not interfere. If there is any matter, they will report it directly to Wuwei to inform me that Jinwei and Wuwei are responsible for the civilians and the other is responsible for the army. A new government office can be quickly built, and the Jinwei will open a government office at the same time, and the two will not interfere with each other."

Sima Ji then realized that he had missed the scope of supervision of the Jinwei. He obviously hated the hodgepodge of Japan and South Korea, so he had personally set up a department that would take charge of everything. If the Jinwei directly interfered in the military, the military would be inseparable from the military. Specialized people should still be taken care of in the professional field, and the Jinwei could not interfere too much in the army.

"Take me a regulation on enlistment as soon as possible. For example, if the enlistment soldiers are protected by the Wuwei, if such adultery occurs, they will first catch the adulterer no matter what the reason is. Whether they are in the army or return home, they will not kneel down when they see the county magistrate. If the disabled on the battlefield, the eldest son can be exempted from labor service and die on the battlefield. The whole family will be exempted from tax for three years. A scalper is distributed. The directory where the salt and iron specialty is located is all at half price."

Sima Ji opened his mouth and listed a bunch of regulations, and then ordered, "You are adding to the supplement and handing it over to me at that time. If there is no problem, the entire army will be directly issued. Under the Youzhou household registration, all the special miscellaneous households will be abandoned and included in the private households, including the Hu people, go."

After the Youzhou law was added soon, he quickly informed the entire army that almost at the same time, Sima Ji divided the part of the Jinwei to establish the Wuwei Office and planted it in the army to ensure Sima Ji's overall control of the entire Youzhou army. In fact, he should have done this a long time ago, but after this matter, he remembered that there were still negligences.

For several months, Sima Ji was paying attention to the affairs of Wu Wei and putting other things behind him. The King of Yan was glad that such a thing happened, otherwise he would have forgotten that the social status of the military household was similar to that of the slave tenants.

On this side, Sima Jifeng was adding to his last shortcoming, and other vassal kings were not idle either. Sima Yong still chose to contact Sima Ying on his own initiative, which was not beyond Lu Zhi's expectations.

Luoyang's dissatisfaction with Sima Jiong became more and more serious. Even Sima Jiong noticed this and began to ask for advice on the staff in the office. Cao's subordinate Sun Hui advised Sima Jiong to hand over the regime to the brothers Sima Yi and Sima Ying, and to be dismissed from the post and returned to the vassal state, so that he could avoid disasters and gain reputation.

The Qi Prince's Mansion also said this, and he also advised Sima Jiong to give up his power and be dismissed from his post. Sima Jiong did not make any statement in the end. With his current status, if he returned to the country and became a vassal, it would be equivalent to giving up his initiative. It is still unknown whether he could avoid disaster.

The confidants who made these moves were not the five conferred men enthroned by Sima Jiong. Han Tai and others definitely did not want Sima Jiong to retreat, because once Sima Jiong retreated, they would give in to the power in their hands.

"Why not have a review to enhance your reputation?" Han Tai suggested, "This can also shock the kings and let them not act rashly, indicating that your highness is prepared."
