Chapter 93 Lu Ji

Even as kings and princes, they were in charge of the military commander of the state, with high rank and powerful positions such as King Qin Sima Jian and King Chu Sima Wei, they themselves had no right to recruit soldiers. The number of troops they belonged to was as many as they were, and no imperial orders were like rebellion. This was not because the central authority had disappeared after King Zhao usurped the throne.

Therefore, Sima Ji was going to lead the army, so he would definitely not return to Youzhou and open his voice and follow him as soon as he shouted. He had the only right to conscript 5,000 vassal soldiers in the country. Now the quota of these 5,000 people has been occupied by the Boy Scouts.

"King of Yan, the court has mobilized 40,000 troops. Do you still need to recruit soldiers?" Sima Liang said calmly, "Is it still the King of Yan himself that he is not sure and pretending to be shirking?"

"I don't believe in southerners very much. I am more familiar with the Hu people around Youzhou and understand their habits. What does the reason Runan feel?" Sima Ji looked at Sima Liang with his eyes squinted and said quietly, "In fact, I still lack a deputy. I heard that the prince of Runan is invincible and has the talent of a general. Why would the prince and I go to Jiaozhou with me?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone's eyes fell on the King of Runan and his son, which was very gloating.

"My brother thinks that the King of Yan is not at ease to lead the King of Runan alone. It's better to go with the prince!" Sima Wei coughed softly to hide his smile. Today's debate is so interesting that even he couldn't help but come out to slip through the cracks. After all, Sima Wei is only twenty-one years old, and he has to practice more when pretending to be calm.

Sima Ju was anxious when he heard this. He didn't do anything, but ran into the deep mountains and forests to suck the miasma. Isn't that sick? Who knows if he can come back alive and stand up and say, "I... I have hidden illness, so I can't travel far. I have been taking medicine stones to condition it recently!"

Everyone present had strange looks and flashed away. What kind of hidden disease? Whether there is any or not is not a good thing! It means that there is something wrong with the physical condition, but it is just greedy for life and fear of death. It is comparable to the King of Runan Sima Liang.

"Okay, Qingxuan is just joking." Of course, Jia Nanfeng did not forget the humiliation that Sima Liang had just given him, but at this time he calmed down his respiratory tract when he turned against Sima Liang. "Qingxuan, don't you bring some imperial guards as escorts? After all, it may be inconvenient for all the Hu people to conquer."

"Two thousand imperial guards are enough. The brothers' association controls the reinforcements led by the army are less than 10,000, and does not add burden to food and grass supplies." Sima Ji bowed his head and bowed, "The chaos is about to stop, and the court cannot bear too much pressure."

Sima Ji believed what he said, and he had to look noble and noble. He felt extremely frustrated!

In broad daylight, a dignified King of Yan was suppressed by the evil old society. Soon, the emperor ordered the King of Yan to take over Yang Yu to lead the army in the southern expedition, recruit troops in the two prefectures of Youbing, and continue to attack the Linyi Kingdom. The royal families present were all witnesses, and Sima Ji was actually very happy. This at least shows that this imperial edict was true. If it was witnesses, it would not be killed by Empress Jia.

Of course, this edict has not been announced yet, because Yang Yu has not returned yet, and he is not the commander of the Southern Expedition Army.

On the way to leave the inner hall, Sima Ju said to his father with a sinister face, "Father, the King of Yan is too bullying others, so you must not let him go so simply!"

"A little impotent will cause chaos. Now I have not controlled the court. The King of Chu is still there, and the old fox Wei Guan is also there. When the day he is in charge of the court, he proposes to change the title of King Yan to Jiaozhou. Let's see how he can still jump around!" Sima Liang glanced at his son quietly and said in a silence, "But it's not possible yet."

Sima Ji, who was holding his hands on his chest in Yong'anli, had long been thrown aside in court clothes and official hats. His purpose was to leave Luoyang and avoid the whirlpool of the empire. As for where to go temporarily, it was not the most important thing.

Today he had a new understanding of the shameless court officials in the face of power, especially Sima Liang and his son. Maybe if the father and son were in charge of the court, they might have changed their title to Jiaozhou and they could not overestimate the other party's eyelids.

"If I razed all the south of Jiaozhou to the ground and there was no one, could you still seal it up to me?" Sima Ji was thinking about this possibility very seriously, and the map of Eurasia appeared in his mind again.

There is an open land north of the Great Wall. Even if it occupies the Western Regions, it cannot stop the migration of nomadic peoples, because the north of the Great Wall is too big. Not to mention that the Western Regions itself is full of countries, it cannot be considered as the local land of the Jin Dynasty. Even if it is to curb circulation, it is impossible, but if it is the Indochina Peninsula? This can be tried!

In addition to the Jin Dynasty, the Indochina Peninsula only borders India on land, which is the Bay of Bengal. Compared with the vast northern grasslands, this border area is actually blocked and the difficulty is much lower.

Moreover, the land carrying the north and south is absolutely different. Without the land north of the Great Wall of the Industrial Revolution, the value is limited. Even if Sima Ji used a knife to force the people out, he would at most force them to be nomadic peoples, or starve to death when the climate changed. But the south is completely different. Even in an agricultural society, the land on the Indochina Peninsula can accommodate a minimum of 100 million people without fiefdoms, which has a great delay in vitality for a dynasty.

The only difficulty is that the local climate is not very friendly to the army's conquests. Historically, both the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties used troops to Southeast Asia, and the local climate often suffered greater losses than the local resistance.

"Muscity!" Sima Ji, who had been sitting for a long time, stood up and squatted up a few times in a row and moved his sore legs. At least Sima Ji knew what miascity was. The Roman Empire was called Yinfeng, which was used to describe the environment of the Germanic forest in the north. In fact, the environment of the Germanic forest was very different from that of southern China.

The forest has its own ecosystem and will not have large-scale poison gas due to rotten corpses. Miasma is caused by unacceptable adaptation to the local environment and being bitten by local mosquitoes, which leads to malaria. If Sima Ji had never heard of Artemisia annua that won the explosives award, he would not be considered a netizen. Artemisia annua was called this name in the Jin Dynasty, and it was basically growing across the country.

As long as the army is guaranteed not to be troubled by diseases, Sima Ji would not believe it. Can't even take over a small Lin Yi?

"Zhang Da, prepare a car and go to the Shaofu mansion!" Sima Ji finished exercising like a snoring person and took Zhang Da to the residence of the Prince's Shaofu Zhang Hua. He wanted to find someone, so Zhang Hua must know him.

"Is Qingxuan here to find Lu Ji?" Zhang Hua touched his beard after seeing Sima Ji's intention. He seemed to remember that the reason why King Yan recruited soldiers in the north was that he did not believe in the southerners.
