Chapter 506 Foreign aid is her maiden family
In fact, it is not all good news. Sima Yong's army has appeared in the southern part of Bingzhou. When he first defeated Wang Jun, Sima Ji expanded a little and occupied the entire Bingzhou in one breath. The shape of Bingzhou is a rectangle of ups and downs. A protrusion will be formed below, directly inserted into Fudi in Jizhou and Yanzhou. This situation is intolerable.
Because this protruding unit was very unfavorable to Sima Yong, after learning that Wang Jun and Liu Yuan were defeated, Sima Yong revived his army and prepared to take back the southern part of Bingzhou.
"Transfer to Zhang Da, don't worry about Shangdang and Xihe. Jinyang cannot give up and level the entire front." Sima Ji looked at the Bingzhou map and ordered Cao Gan that once such a protruding part was formed, it was not just unfriendly to Sima Yong.
Sima Ji posed a threat to Yecheng in the direction of Bingzhou, which also contrasted the threat to Jicheng by Jizhou. This is the case. It is just like the Soviet Union was afraid of Germany's powerful front-line troops, and Germany was afraid of the Soviet Union's huge mobilization troops. Sooner or later, one side could not help it.
It is not unacceptable to take control of two-thirds of Bingzhou in its hands at this stage. Sima Ji knew the disadvantages of being greedy for too much and could not eat it. As soon as he saw that the troops in southern Bingzhou were in danger, he immediately ordered his evacuation.
From the perspective of the entire front, Sima Ji made the decision to evacuate because of the action in another direction, that is, Qingzhou has been completely controlled by Sima Yong, but this is only what Sima Yong thinks himself.
He, the King of Yan, naturally had no foundation in Qingzhou, but the previous King of Yan had left Qingzhou to settle down. The former king still had some subordinates from Qingzhou. Although time had changed, there were always unsatisfactory subordinates who were willing to think about the incense they had at the beginning and try to turn bicycles into motorcycles in the chaos.
With the report from the commander of the Qingzhou commander of the Jin Wei, Sima Ji already knew that Sima Yong ordered the recruitment of soldiers in Qingzhou. The stupid question of whether the Qingzhou soldiers could fight was not in his mind. He could fight any place if he used it well. Not to mention that Cao Cao destroyed the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and reorganized 300,000 strong and healthy people, which was useful for a period of time.
However, the army reorganized by this bandits is burning, killing, looting, and the Qingzhou army has done a lot of things to massacre the city.
"Governor, maybe you can only manage half of Bingzhou for the time being. I am determined to gather the army and wait for a decisive battle with Sima Yong. Now that the troops cannot be divided, after the battle in Bingzhou, if Sima Yong commits again, it is definitely not a small fight. He will definitely fight with me!" Sima Ji smiled at Jiang Tong, with a free and easy meaning, "But I am not afraid. This prospect of a battle to determine the universe is also what I need. If it continues over the years, it will not be a good thing for the people under the rule of both sides. The war will inevitably lead to the hardship of the people. The people can withstand one year or two years, and a famine will occur over time. Does the governor think this is the case?"
"Your Highness, Bingzhou is already very barren. Do you want to fight against the three states with one state?" Jiang Tong was not as optimistic as Sima Ji. It can be said that he was not very good at military affairs. Anyway, he felt that the disadvantages of the King of Yan were too obvious. Youzhou Pingzhou was only a large place, and the help that could be given to Sima Ji was very limited.
"The governor is afraid that my army is insufficient. I have proved that my army can fight through the Battle of Bingzhou. Now I can find foreign aid!" Seeing that Jiang Tong was about to ask, Sima Ji stretched out his hand to stop him, "Yes, the governor was not wrong at all. The foreign aid was the Xianbei people. The so-called Five Barbarians plus the Shanyue, Yiren and others in the south were all included. The other so-called Hu people were nothing at all. The strongest among them was Xianbei, and the rest was not worth mentioning. The five Huns were not weak at first, but unfortunately, they failed to show their strength and were broken by my battle. With the population of the five Huns, they could basically say goodbye to the troubled times."
"If I only fight on Youzhou and fight against Sima Yong, even if I end up destroying him, Youzhou will suffer huge damage. On average, one Youzhou soldier will have to fight against three enemy troops. If this continues, it will be very unfavorable to my king's rule in Youzhou. As for Pingzhou, Pingzhou's household registration is only one-quarter of Youzhou." Sima Ji stood up from behind the table and went back and forth on the trail. "Sima Yong's hands are Yan, Ji and Qing, both have large population states. Once they really want to attack, I will face a lot of pressure. Without the help of the Xianbei people, I will struggle to deal with it. The battle in Bingzhou must not be repeated. I won a lot of victories, and I can't copy it even if I happen again."
Knowing that his troops were at a disadvantage, Sima Ji would give up the two counties of Shangdang Xihe in the southern part of Bingzhou. When the troops were at a disadvantage, the larger the territory he occupied, the greater the troops were diluted.
After occupying Bingzhou, the border areas between the two sides will be further expanded, which is a result of giving up the Shangdang Xihe River. Otherwise, this front would have grown to a point where Sima Ji's army could not stand it.
Re-recruitment is a real problem before us. Sima Ji's territory is not as large as the other party's territory. He can no longer recruit soldiers from Youzhou, otherwise he will lose his household registration in Youzhou. He must think of a solution from his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Sima Ji won a beautiful victory in the Battle of Bingzhou and was in a difficult situation, which was not contradictory at all. Explain the current situation to Jiang Tong clearly, and the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou had no way to object. The reality is this reality.
"I just don't know if the Xianbei people can trust them. How the King of Yan is going to win over them." Jiang Tong asked.
Sima Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "The governor doesn't have to worry about this matter. In fact, what they want is big and small."
With the current environment from the court to the people, the Xianbei and even Liu Yuan asked for something very simple and their status were exactly the same as the gentry in Jiangdong, and nothing more than the gentry in the Central Plains. However, they couldn't find it. The official positions in the Jin Dynasty were not enough for the Central Plains, so they could still take care of them.
Not to mention the Hu people, even after the collapse of the Jin Dynasty, the fleeing gentry in the northern territory of the Southern Dynasty still dominated the Jiangdong gentry and became a dog of a miserable family. They did not forget to wipe the local gentry under their feet. This is the reality faced by the entire Jin Dynasty.
"Does the governor know why I believe the Hu people more than the gentry?" Sima Ji said when he saw Jiang Tong's doubts, "I believe this is also your doubt for a long time. I can actually answer this question."
"Jiang Tong is willing to hear it clearly!" Jiang Tong nodded. He really wanted to ask a question for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Because the Hu people are not people in the Central Plains, they are not the current beneficiaries. The real beneficiaries will not attack their own group. What I am talking about is the gentry. Any state and county in the world has families with counties as their country. There are gentry in the larger places and geniuses in the smaller places. I think this is the power of the emperor, but the Xianbei people live outside the Great Wall. They are not beneficiaries and have no entanglements with the Central Plains gentry." Sima Ji flipped his eyes and said, "So I use Jurchens. If the Jurchens don't work, use Xianbei people."
"On the other hand, I can also use the Central Plains people to deal with beneficiaries on the grassland, which may have a good effect." Sima Ji spoke calmly. The best way to use this trick is the last dynasty in the original plane.
When they entered the Central Plains, there were Manchu and Mongolian family, and when they swallowed Junggar, there were Manchu and Han family. The former brought the Eight Mongolian Banners and the latter brought the Green Camp soldiers. Of course, the premise for this operation is that the Eight Banners themselves cannot have too poor combat power.
Sima Ji felt that his basic position was no worse than the Eight Banners. He could seamlessly connect inside and outside the Great Wall. There was no reason why King Yan would play. As long as he could win, he could even be crowned kings for the leaders of the four Xianbei tribes. Manchus had a bunch of Mongolian princes, but they did not make trouble. As long as he was sealed on the grassland, he would not be in the Central Plains. There would be no problem.
"Jiang Tong is afraid that the Xianbei people will become bigger, and the King of Yan will not be able to deal with it at that time." Jiang Tong reluctantly did not raise any objections. Now of course, everything is to win first. If you don't want to scrape the land in Youzhou anymore, then you can only do this.
"As long as I want to, the war will never be over." Sima Ji laughed. After fighting the Central Plains, you can go south to fight, and even if you can go south to fight, you can go west to fight. This idea can only show that it is even more stupid than the handling of Goguryeo prisoners of war. As long as he wants to make trouble, no matter whether it is to start a project or fight, he will never be over.
As long as the leaders of the four Xianbei tribes like to be awarded titles and rewards, Sima Ji could spread out the map of Eurasia and it would be over.
"King Yan, letters from Jicheng, Mrs. Tuoba has already boarded the boat and wants to come to Pingcheng to visit His Highness." Cao Qian had just gone out and was sent by the Youzhou army in Shangdang Xihe, and he received a letter from Jicheng.
"You haven't peeked at my letters from my king?" Sima Ji looked at Cao Qian suspiciously. When he saw that the seal was not broken, he rushed to the left and right without any hesitation, "Everyone goes down to do your own business, I want to read the letters from my house."
"Am I showing strength or weakness to the four Xianbei tribes?" Sima Ji looked at his letter, not entirely on beauty. If Sima Yong came here to fight desperately, there would definitely be a 200,000 army. It would be impossible to scrape the land slightly. Sima Ji felt that at least 100,000 Xianbei people needed to help the decisive battle to be evenly matched.
Among them, the Tuoba Xianbei, which covers the largest area, has the most sufficient manpower. Aren’t they known as the 400,000-strong string control man? The Duan Xianbei only has 50,000 or 60,000 troops. The leader of the Tuoba Xianbei has no son, so he is in the same dilemma as the emperor of the Great Jin. What’s wrong with the last drop of blood for the Great Jin? Are they all a family?
"Madam, I really want to die for my husband." When Tuoba Yini got off the boat in Pingcheng, Sima Ji was waiting on the shore, and was like a big licking dog. He carefully helped the girl down in front of everyone, just like taking care of a rare treasure.
"Husband!" Tuoba Yini looked flattered. There were so many people present, the little girl felt a little embarrassed. She was held onto the carriage along Sima Ji's hand and said dizzyly, "Many people, I don't know what to do."
"You, I, a husband and wife, what are you and my husband's concerns?" Sima Ji sincerely hugged the girl in his arms. His feelings for the girl were real, and his feelings for the 400,000 string-controlling men in Tuoba Xianbei were also real. Who made his wife's family too powerful?
