If he hadn't heard Sima Ji's head that day, he would have wanted to bow his head temporarily, silently accumulating strength and waiting for the changes in times, and maybe he could make a comeback. When he thought of the solidity of Yecheng, Sima Yong felt that he had no power to fight. It took a while for a while to turn defeat into victory when other vassal kings sent troops.

Sima Yong already knew that his grand lieutenant was removed by the emperor, but he also knew that King Fan Yang sent troops to join his and Sima Ying's camp. As long as Sima Yi was defeated, he would still have a way out. Thinking of this, he took the initiative to keep an eye on him.

"Don't I know this elder yet? If I hadn't heard a reward of two million yuan for his head on the battle formation that day, would you think he wouldn't want to surrender?" Sima Ji, who had just arrived at the bank of Zhang River, looked at the huge city in the distance from afar and said with a cold face, "The Ye City is divided into two cities in the north and south, and the Zhang River passes through the two cities in the north and south. I have been thinking about Ye City for many years, but there is still no good idea. The world's strong city is indeed well-known. If it were July and August, it would be possible to block the river and build a dam to imitate the story of Bai Qi flooding Chudu, but in the current season, there is no good idea."

Having said that, Sima Ji still would not choose to let Sima Yong live. Among the vassal kings who were armed with troops in the Eight Kings Rebellion, this elder's work made Sima Ji feel like he was a match for the opponent. He used a knife to kill people and provoked the King of Qi, and the King of Changsha killed each other. Later, after Sima Ying lost power, he turned against him. Finally, facing Sima Yue's army, he killed his most important subordinate Zhang Fang with his backhand.

This shamelessness is just a little worse than that of King Yan. Those who learn from me live like me and die, and those who are too similar in style give Sima Ji a sense of crisis that he can be replaced at any time.

Among the vassal kings participating in the war, the two with the strongest leadership ability are brothers, and they are currently killing each other in the battlefield of Sizhou. Sima Yi can rank first, Sima Ying can rank second. The King of Hejian in Yecheng is stronger than the other elder, Sima Xu, the King of Fan Yang. But he is far from fighting against the wind, and he always stands on Sima Ying's side in the early stage to take advantage of the situation.

After comparing with Sima Ying's strength, although he was still in the alliance, he suffered frequent defeats after he was dominated by him. Faced with Sima Yue's urgent army, his strong general Zhang Fang proposed to take the initiative, but he was not as brave as Sima Ying's courage when he faced Sima Yue before, and did not dare to protect himself. You must know that he had more than 100,000 troops in his hands at that time, but he did not dare to imitate Sima Ying to send troops, and even later killed Zhang Fangqiuji.

Zhang Fang, the first person to open up the record of cannibalism in the Eight Kings Rebellion, kidnapped tens of thousands of palace maids in Luoyang and killed them as military rations. But anyone could kill Zhang Fang. Sima Yong did not have this qualification. He was Zhang Fang's lord.

"Well, it's hard to deal with! I really don't want to waste time here anymore." Sima Ji said to himself impatiently, "If Sima Yong had left the city to fight before the infantry arrived, he might be able to defeat the Gaoche Cavalry. But he didn't dare to come out. He really kept defending to the death, which disappointed me."

If he really defeated a string-controller like 20,000 high car, maybe Sima Yong would regain some confidence and dare to go out of the city to fight Sima Ji for another battle, but the 20,000 high car division, which was like a beggar, actually scared Sima Yong. This made Sima Ji unable to start. As soon as he looked at the walls of Yecheng, Sima Ji would be as troubled as Wang Jun saw Cao Qian.

"Why don't you let the navy enter the Zhang River and break into the middle of the two cities in the north and south to cut off the connection between the two cities? Our army besieged all night and might be able to capture Yecheng." Qian Ming carefully suggested when he saw Sima Ji at a loss at the wall of Yecheng.

"No, just like the environment of Youzhou, do you know how easy it is to produce 10,000 naval troops? It is not more time-saving than your iron cavalry and Cao Gan's Longque Camp." Sima Ji refused flatly, his head shaking as if he had eaten five stones. "First let the navy bring down the siege equipment for me, and order the infantrymen of the entire army to dig the outer edge of Yecheng into spiders outside the bed crossbow and archers of Yecheng City defense. Let the Sihu soldiers hide in the trenches and play suona to me every night, and persuade the defenders of Yecheng during the day to surrender. Don't stop for a moment, and tie the camp far away."

In addition to passing through the Zhang River in Yecheng, north and south, there are rivers outside Yecheng that protect Yecheng. Sima Ji looked at the surrounding environment of Yecheng for a long time, recalled the ancient and modern war examples, and reluctantly thought of the battle of Xiangyang in the Yuan Dynasty attacking Song.

Xiangyang is located at the southern end of the Nanyang Basin, and Xiangyang and Fancheng are interdependent on the Han River. When the Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack, there were almost no direct battles. It was not so direct. After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, the Song army recovered Bianliang and was driven out by the Bianliang people because the people of Bianliang believed that the Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the role of the Southern Song Dynasty was not glorious. But the defense was remarkable. Sima Ji remembered that the battle in Xiangyang alone lasted for six or seven years.

The Battle of Xiangyang, which is similar to the geographical environment of Yecheng, lasted for six or seven years, and he didn't want to endure it for even six or seven months.

"Husband, husband, you are back." Wang Shaoyi stood on tiptoe and looked around for a long time. When he saw Sima Ji returning to the camp and running back to the tent, he looked very well-behaved and sold him by Wang Jun. The little girl hadn't come back to her senses and tried her best to adapt to her new role.

"Ah, I'm back!" Sima Ji looked sad. Seeing the young girl pretending to be dignified, she couldn't help but laugh and ordered to the outside of the tent, "The little lady's meals should be more refined, so I don't have to worry about it. Just be the same as the soldiers, go and worry about it."

"Shaoyi is not so precious. You should pay more attention to your husband as a prince." Wang Shaoyi lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You are already very good to Shaoyi. I am afraid that the soldiers will complain."

"Don't worry, they have been used to it. You are a woman, so it's time to take care of you. You are still so young, and you can be your father at your husband's age." Sima Ji grinned secretly. As he grew older, he actually couldn't do anything to girls of this age. But even a beast who knew what he was doing, he still accepted Wang Jun's kindness with a smile. He could only tell himself that this was ancient times and we must respect ancient traditions. Didn't the old kings be thirteen years older than him? It's normal.

A hint of emotion flashed in Wang Shaoyi's eyes. As for her previous marriage partner, she naturally had never seen her before. I heard that she had been killed by her current husband in Bingzhou. Sometimes when she thought about it, she felt a little awkward. It was as if the other party had forced a robbery, but after a few days, she slowly discovered the admirable part of this husband by Sima Ji.

When Wang Jun brought Wang Zhuo in, he saw his daughter and a few maids having dinner. As for Sima Ji holding the city defense map of Yecheng, I, Cao, was absent-mindedly, scattered the rice.

The King of Yan had not yet emerged from the situation of the Yuan army. He now had an advantage over the Yuan army nine hundred years later, that is, he did not have to retrain the navy like the Yuan army. The Youzhou Navy was the best in the Jin Dynasty, and the Yangzhou Navy would not be at a disadvantage against the Jingzhou Navy.

Is there any advantage besides the navy? No, Sima Ji looked up and saw Wang Jun and Wang Zhuo come in and nodded. Wang Shaoyi said softly, "Father, brother, have you just returned from the camp?"

"Well, Shaoyi, although the King of Yan favors you, don't make mistakes in the camp." Wang Jun did not have the courage of his daughter. His younger daughter could be silly and sweet, but he couldn't do this. After a few days of surrender, Wang Jun discovered the existence of the Wuwei in the army and was very shocked by the entire Youzhou army. He had never seen such an army. A vassal king could directly convey his ideas to every soldier. This is something that other vassal kings could never do.

"It's okay, I have always been tolerant to women, please sit down." Sima Ji glanced at Wang Jun, what's wrong with my wife? The nature of the matter has changed when you enter the mansion. Why is life the husband's business and has nothing to do with his father.

Wang Jun brings Wang Zhuo with him every day. It’s very simple that Wang Jun does not have a son yet. If no male appears before his death, his title will be passed to Wang Zhuo.

This situation is not uncommon in this era. Didn’t the previous king be adopted and then enfeoffed to Yan State? Now it seems that Wang Jun has regarded Wang Zhuo as his heir in his heart. In fact, Wang Zhuo is just a core child of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his relationship with Wang Jun is not far or close.

"King Yan, don't be too doting, after all, you're in the camp." Wang Jun's attitude was very humble, as if he had deviated from the low-level interest, and his thoughts were sublimated at once.

But Sima Ji would not be fooled. He had seen a real hermit. There was a Huo Yuan in Yan State. During the Yuankang period, Huo Yuan and Wang Bao and others were ordered by the court for their virtuousness. Huo Yuan refused to surrender and lived in seclusion in Guangyang Mountain. Xu Meng, the governor of Youzhou, has always admired Huo Yuan's reputation and will visit Huo Yuan. This seems to be the only famous scholar who has a good impression of him, the King of Yan.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to recruit. The other party's name had already broken through the ninth grade Zhongzheng system and was rated as the top grade. However, they were not very interested in being an official, and Sima Ji had no choice but to do so.

After reading the city defense map of Yecheng, Sima Ji finally understood Wang Jun and offered a price. "As long as you capture Yecheng, I will immediately submit that you are the governor of Yanzhou and make sure of your words."
