Chapter 628: Duke Zhou's Rebirth

"Summoning the Yishou in Ningzhou, the King of Jingyang, into the capital. It seems that he is preparing for the southern expedition. Are you going this time?" Yang Xianrong wanted to speak but stopped and finally asked. According to the process of the last southern expedition, the King of Yan should have been in charge.

"No, it's other royal family that leads troops, so I don't need to go there in person." Out of Yang Xianrong's expectation, Sima Ji shook his head and rejected, "Is there no one in the Jin Dynasty? Only I can lead troops to fight? Other royal families can lead troops, or the royal family that doesn't lead troops, but they can just supervise. The natives overseas are not worth worrying about, the biggest problem is the climate."

Sima Ji never planned to go on the battlefield himself, but just made a long-term plan to allow the various forces of the Jin Dynasty to expand to the outside world. It is not particularly important whether he leads his troops. It is very simple. Such a large land and many islands are not a problem that can be solved in three or two years. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for this southern expedition to last for hundreds of years.

Sima Ji's current age must have not been squandered for him. Perhaps he could see stronghold occupation at most in his lifetime, but that was at most a colonial policy of the British Empire. He had always looked down on the colony policy, which had endless troubles. From the beginning, he launched the southern expedition for the purpose of eradicating the roots, so it must have taken longer.

A brief thought would tell that as long as the Jin court had to expand south due to the increase in household registration, was it the same as the King of Yan? So this time Sima Ji only set a policy to tell the people the pressure of household registration growth, so that the people could support the empire's southern expedition with their survival instinct. This was much more effective than leading tens of thousands of troops to find native people to find people.

This kind of war that took a long time, an unwavering attitude is much more important than one or two geniuses. What's more, Sima Ji himself is an ordinary person and has never been involved with geniuses. Even though he usually assumes that others praise him, he never believes in this trick.

"It's great that you don't leave, but other royal families are different from you, so I'm afraid it won't go well." A hint of joy appeared on Yang Xianrong's face, but it immediately turned into a worrying look. "Can other royal families do it?"

"Don't worry, the royal family does not have the ability to win thousands of miles away, but they still have the ability to bully the natives. You have been in the central palace for a long time and are actually not aware of the military. Most generals are just ordinary people. They have reasons to win, and there are reasons to lose. Wei Huo is hard to come by." Sima Ji held Yang Xianrong's plain hands and said lazy.

He was totally honest, how many humanoid radars were like Huo Qubing in history? Even Li Jing, known as the war god in the Tang Dynasty, got lost when he went to the grassland. There were many big figures who got lost in the grassland. Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, conquered Mongolia several times, and the next few times he went to the grassland, could not even find anyone.

As for the royal family leading troops, to be honest, there are not many such things in the Central Plains dynasty, and there is no example of using perseverance to defeat talent. The showdown between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang cannot be counted. Wei State is much stronger than Shu State. However, when the Jin and Song Dynasty were in later generations, there was a royal family in the Jin Dynasty that was a typical representative of this aspect.

This person is still very famous. He is the famous fourth prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jin Wushu and Wanyan Zongbi, in folk legends.

Wanyan Zongbi's reputation among the people is far beyond historical records. The Jin Dynasty's devouring Liao and destroying Song was related to him, but it had little to do with it. At that time, the commander of the Jin army was Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, known as the second prince.

Wanyan Zongbi was in charge of the Jin team, and the two first clans who could fight died one after another. When he was in charge of the Jin Kingdom, it was the time when the Jin generals were in trouble, so he was completely encouraged to join the battle.

The result of this barely joining the battle is that Wanyan Zongbi is a second-rate player compared to the previous commander of the Jin army. For example, he has won so many defeats in his life, and there are not many such famous generals.

In terms of tactical ability, among the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, who defeated Wanyan Zongbi in battle, were Wu Jie, Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Wang Gui, Niu Gao, De, Yang Cunzhong, etc. Some generals were famous, but there were also some generals with little fame.

There were not only one or two generals who could defeat Wanyan Zongbi in the Southern Song Dynasty, but appeared in groups. There were countless defeats in Wanyan Zongbi in his life, but in the end Wanyan Zongbi was able to bring back the unfavorable situation. From the battle between Fuping Huang Tiandang to the Zhegao, Wanyan Zongbi suffered many defeats in the early stages of the battle. He finally turned around and achieved the final victory by persisting and advancing and enduring.

In fact, simply put, I can't beat you, but I won't surrender. When Wanyan Zongbi was a civil servant, he was much more powerful than when he was a military general.

Sima Ji felt that when there was no land in the country to enfeoff the royal family, the royal family kings would definitely have no problem with sticking to the concept of the end. So what else can I be afraid of? It was just a group of natives in the slave society. The threat level was not as high as that of the Zhang Chang rebellion in Jiangnan. He mainly fought against the Nanzheng Dynasty with a attitude of fighting until the end, and he would definitely win.

"So it was King Yan who entered the palace!" When Yangzhe entered the palace, he happened to see Sima Ji's carriage, so he quickly stood aside to worship.

"Zhongshu Ling, I have just returned to the capital!" Sima Ji smiled and looked at Yangzhe and said, "But go to the palace to find the central palace?"

"That's right!" A cold sweat broke out from the Yang Pian. He had been in the officialdom for many years and thought a lot. Now Yang Xianrong has just given birth to a child. I wonder if it will be detrimental to the prince when the King of Yan enters the palace.

"You are far from being as brave as Yang Ku's business. Didn't you support me when I was in the battle in Yecheng?" Sima Ji smiled. Yang Pian was Yang Ku's stepson, and when Sima Ji attacked the city in Yecheng, Yang Pian was the governor of Qingzhou at that time. Later, after he entered the capital, he transferred Yang Pian to the capital.

"The King of Yan is joking!" Yang Pian continued carefully, "I was just a little surprised at meeting the King of Yan here for a moment."

"Don't hide it, aren't you just afraid that I will usurp the throne?" Sima Ji waved his hand indifferently, "When I have received the Yishuai Barbarian King from all over the country, you can ask for an order to enthrone the crown prince. I am tired, so I will say goodbye."

After saying that, Sima Ji left, leaving behind a confused Yang Piao left. It took him a long time to come back to his senses before hurriedly entering the palace to find Yang Xianrong, and asked anxiously, "Central Palace, I just met the King of Yan. I told you the matter, don't be afraid."

"As the central palace, Xianrong naturally would not be afraid." Yang Xianrong looked at the clan uncle suspiciously and nodded and agreed.

"The King of Yan just crazily suggested his concern for the prince, saying that I must have wondered if he usurped the throne. Who doesn't know in the whole court? Now that the prince is born, the King of Yan might be about to attack. Yesterday, the King of Yan returned to the capital, and all the royal families went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion. How can this not be worrying?" Yangzang said in a rough voice, "If the King of Yan wants to usurp the throne, how can the palace handle itself?"

"The Secretariat may have thought too much. Besides, from the inner officials to the palace maids, the entire imperial guards in the capital are all from the King of Yan. If the King of Yan wants to usurp the throne, there is no need to wait until today." Yang Xianrong suppressed his smile and spoke with a strange expression to comfort him.

"Does King Yan really want to follow Duke Zhou?" Yang Pian said with disbelief, "Many court officials said that it is a matter of time before usurpation of the throne."

"Who are the court officials mentioned by the Secretariat?" Yang Xianrong's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty. He actually provoked our relationship, but he relaxed in a flash, "The King of Yan once vowed in front of hundreds of thousands of troops that he would not usurp the throne and should be trustworthy. My uncle should not talk to those court officials less and be careful not to be sold. The King of Yan dared to ask you in person about this, which means that uncle, you must have said such words, and it was leaked to the King of Yan. Think carefully about when he said it, who would be there that day."

"I will definitely not be able to avoid him if I let me know who it is." Yang Pian realized that something was wrong at this time and said with a look of fear. It must be that someone around him was monitoring him, or he turned around and was sold.
