Chapter 56 Situation
"I just went to the south." Mi Huang took the initiative to explain his whereabouts: "I have old friends and children serving in the army, so I asked them about the situation south of Luoshui."< br>
"How?" Shao Xun asked.
"The Xianbei people withdrew and it is said that they went back to Sima Ying to ask for an account." Mi Huang said with a smile.
“It’s mostly rumors, right?”
“It’s possible, but it’s really gone.”
“It seems that the war is really going to end.” Shao Xun He said with a complicated expression.
Rationally speaking, he saw no problem in surrendering.
Emotionally speaking, he spent most of his time fighting with the people of Hebei, and it never felt good to see him fail due to lack of food.
However, it seems to be nothing.
All the soldiers are still there.
It's not like surrendering unconditionally. It really pushed people into a hurry. In the end, after having a good meal, the whole army was pulled out and stormed the enemy's camp. The outcome was still uncertain.
In the Battle of Jianchun Gate, the Jizhou soldiers were driven for more than ten miles like sheep, which was enough for them to remember for a long time.
In a frontal battle, you are no match.
"Of course it has to end. If it doesn't end, how will Sikong be able to govern?" Mi Huang said.
"Sikong is very ambitious this time." Shao Xun was a little surprised, because this really didn't fit in with Sima Yue's past style.
Mi Huang hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Young man, do you think I really went to the south to hang out?"
Shao Xun was silent and listened quietly.
"I went over there to pick someone up. You don't know about this." Mi Huang said, "King Fan Yang's messenger."
Shao Xun nodded. Mi Huang is his superior and has no obligation to tell him everything. Even out of professional ethics and personal character, some secrets of the lord cannot be publicized.
"Say what you can say, and don't ask what you can't." This is what Mi Huang once said. Honest people also have principles. Now he feels that he can say it, probably because Shao Xun is getting closer to the core of Sima Yue. Circled.
"Sikong is negotiating with the Ye Mansion to resolve the aftermath. He is now the person in charge promoted by the Luoyang court and the Chinese army. In order to increase the chance of winning the negotiation, he will definitely take action."
"The Governor The military officers of Yuzhou, Wang Hui of Fanyang, the military governors of Bingzhou, and Dongying Gongteng may be Sikong Cong's brothers or close relatives. They are actually very willing to see Sikong Bingzheng, so they can provide foreign aid. "
"In addition, Sikong also sent envoys to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Wancheng and other places to win over Wang Mao of Dongping, Wang Lue of Gaomi, and Wang Shi of Pengcheng, with the intention of advancing and retreating together to fight against Sima Ying."
"The emperor's brother can give it to Sima Ying, or he can make peace with him for the time being. After the big thing is settled, Sikong will definitely compete with the Ye Mansion."
After Mi Huang finished speaking, Shao Xun quickly Digesting the news.
Sima Yue is really an old yinbi.
Backstabbing Sima Yi was not because he was groveling to Sima Ying, but because he wanted to be in power.
He is now trying his best to win over the generals of the Forbidden Army, and is doing everything possible to please the aristocratic families, gain their support in the court, stabilize the situation in Luoyang, and unite as many people as possible around him.
In the outside world, Sima Teng, the governor of Bingzhou, and Sima Luo, the governor of Qingzhou, were his biological brothers.
Sima Gui (cousin) who held Xuchang, and Sima Shi (son of cousin Sima Zhi) who held Wancheng were even more powerful. They held considerable military power.
Although many governors now have the title of governor of a certain state's military, in the Jin Dynasty, there were only eight old governors who controlled the world's military.
These eight governors were from Chang'an, Xuchang, Wancheng, Xiangyang, Shouchun, Xiapi, Yecheng, and Jicheng, one by one corresponding to the various strategic directions of the Cao Wei period.
Among them, the five governors in Chang'an, Xuchang, Xiangyang, Yecheng and Jicheng divided up most of the 300,000 soldiers.
Therefore, the weight of the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of Yuzhou and the king of Fanyang, Sima Hui, is very important. The weight of the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of Miobei and the king of Pengcheng, Sima Shi, is lighter, but it cannot be ignored.
Coupled with Sima Teng who controls Bingzhou and Sima Lue who controls Qingzhou, the potential power of the King of the East China Sea is ready to emerge.
Of course, the above people may not all support Sima Yue. After all, he has been living in obscurity for so many years, and it is normal for others not to trust him. But judging from the current situation, Sima Hui, the governor of Xuchang, should start to support him.
No wonder, no wonder!
I don’t know whether Sima Yue contacted Sima Hui before he took action, or whether he contacted Sima Hui after he took action. Anyway, Shao Xun preferred the former.
They are all descendants of Sima Kui, the fourth brother of Sima Yi, so it is easy to hook up with them.
"In other words, Sikong will mobilize all his troops sooner or later to attack Sima Ying. So, where will the soldiers come from? Are there too few troops at his disposal now?" Shao Xun asked.
"This will definitely take some time." Mi Huang was also a little unsure and could only say vaguely: "Sima Yi can get the support of the Forbidden Army, there is no reason why Sikong can't."
Shao Xun But not too optimistic.
To be fair, Sima Yi is stronger than Sima Yue, even stronger than Sima Ying, Sima Yong and the dead Sima Jiong. Just because he can win over the support of the Forbidden Army generals does not mean that others can too. . Furthermore, since the execution of King Sima Lun of Zhao, the Forbidden Army has clearly had its own will.
When the King of Qi and the King of Changsha were fighting, they chose to sit on the sidelines and not participate.
When the King of Changsha, the King of Chengdu, and the King of Hejian were fighting, they came to an end again.
When the King of Donghai and the King of Chengdu fight again, it’s really hard to say what their attitudes will be.
An army with a will of its own is scary to the superiors, because they will be driven by interests and instincts and no longer follow orders.
Fortunately, even if they are driven by instinct, they are now subconsciously moving closer to Sima Yue to jointly fight against external forces.
To a certain extent, the Luoyang King's Division, including Shao Xun, was forced to stay together at a disadvantage and temporarily formed a whole to avoid being liquidated. As for whether there will be a split in the future, that is a matter for the future.
"Lieutenant Sima has been elected?" Mi Huang didn't want to talk about these things anymore and changed the subject.
"It will probably take a few more months. Sikong asked me to get things started first," Shao Xun said.
"Yes, yes." Mi Huang said with a smile: "With your family's situation, it is really not easy to become an official."
There are many examples of filial piety and honesty in history books. Yes, but don’t think it’s easy, because you’re putting yourself on the higher level.
How many of the scholars selected by the state governors fell into the hands of ordinary people?
How many of Xiaolian, the prefect of the county, gave to people with no family background?
There are too few, too few, and even a few can make a big mark in the history books.
However, 99% of the quotas for scholars, filial piety and integrity were silently divided up by the gentry behind the scenes. Historians didn't like to remember it because it was too common and was originally prepared for them.
When a scholar is promoted, he does not know how to read; when he is examined for filial piety and integrity, his father lives apart.
Scholarship and filial piety have deviated from their original meanings. They are public weapons of the country, and they are used to share the wealth among aristocratic families, that's all.
"After the matter in Luoyang is settled, I can send a letter to my family to make them happy." Mi Huang said.
"The family will still have to supervise and take care of her." Shao Xun said.
"Little things, small things." Mi Huang was very happy.
What is this? This means closeness.
My family has all moved into Mishi Wubao. This is a rhythm in which everyone loses and everyone prospers.
The interests of the two of them are too deeply tied.
"I have also received a promise from Sikong that as long as I capture Sima Yi, I will be the new lieutenant of Donghai." After saying that, Mi Huang stroked his beard, took Shao Xun and walked a few steps quickly, away from the crowd, Fang asked: "What suggestions do you have for reorganizing the army?"
Mi Huang asked this, and Shao Xun was not polite and said immediately: "I will select seven strong teams from the existing soldiers. Together with three teams of children and teenagers, we organized them into one building. I personally served as the leader of the building, and Wu Qian served as the governor. The other soldiers were organized into another building, and Yang Bao was transferred to serve as the governor."
"Sikong. Since I was given the position of Lieutenant Sima, I was asked to strictly select troops and assist in training them. I decided to select thirty elite warriors, called the 'teaching team', with Chen Yougen as the team leader."
"I will draw up a list of other team leaders, commanders, and corps commanders and give them to the lieutenant for review."
Mi Huang was quite satisfied after hearing this.
Shao Xun is measured. He did not interfere randomly with He Lun's upper army, but only made a fuss with Wang Bing's lower army. This is good.
If Wang Bing is willing to cooperate, then fine. If he is not willing, then the people below him will not listen to him, and there will be people above him who will try to make him look good.
Of course, Wang Bing can also choose to fight to the death and completely fall out.
But nothing is perfect in the world. If you want to get benefits but don’t want to offend others, it’s nice to think about it.
"In a few days, we will pull the troops back to Luoyang, and there is no need to defend Piyong's side." Mi Huang said: "Find another opportunity to have a good talk with Wang Bing. I don't think he is the kind of person who doesn't want to defend him." A person who knows the current affairs. Besides, I think Wang Bing seems to want to develop in the Imperial Army. After Sikong wins over the Imperial Army, he will definitely find a way to install his own people. Wang Bing probably doesn't like the position of general of the Donghai Kingdom."
"Oh? Is it possible that he still wants to be a general of the left guard or a general of the right guard?" Shao Xun asked.
“You don’t want to be?” Mi Huang asked curiously.
"I don't want to." Shao Xun replied honestly.
Mi Huang laughed: "You are such a weirdo."
Shao Xun also laughed.
It is difficult to command a unit that is not pulled up by oneself. It may be nothing at ordinary times, but once in the battle formation, you can see the difference.
Can being assigned or inheriting an official position be the same thing as starting from scratch? The prestige is far behind.
