For example, as the younger brother of Sima Yao's mother, Sima Daozi's status was the most transcendent.

If he is still here, then no matter how powerful and powerful Wang Mi is, it will not be easy to control the government.

Sima Daozi was naturally able to rally the members of the Sima family.

However, it is a pity that both Sima Daozi and Sima Yao are dead now.

What's even more frightening is that the two of them have no adult successors who can inherit their power and status.

Sima Yao won't talk about it. If he can have another son, one who is smarter and older than Sima Dezong, who can at least know numbers, he will not let Sima Dezong, a little boy who can't even walk easily.

On the doll.

As for Sima Daozi, unfortunately, he already has descendants, but due to his personal age, he is only twenty years old. Therefore, even if he has descendants, they are only about the same age as Sima Dezong, which is not useful.

!

In the final analysis, Sima Yao has to be blamed for this matter. In terms of age, he is not considered young. Who allowed him to dote on Zhang Guiren for so many years, and Zhang Guiren couldn't give birth to a child?

After all, as an emperor, it is one of his responsibilities to spread branches and leaves. Otherwise, you see, behind you, you will end up like this.

What will happen?

Naturally, it’s the Lord’s Young Master who doubts it!

Not to mention, the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying who is currently in charge of the government has no blood relationship with the young emperor Sima Dezong.

The situation was so beautiful that I almost didn’t dare to look at it.

The previous Sima Yao was thirty years old. If he had been useful, for example, he would have produced a child at the age of seventeen or eighteen, then the little emperor who succeeded him now would definitely not be a young baby like Sima Yao.

But if it were a teenager, whether it was Wang Zhenying or Wang Mi, it would no longer be so easy to cause trouble.

What's more, having such a teenage emperor there is extremely beneficial to the entire Sima family.

There will be people who are willing to agree to their various actions and provide support from the central court. To be honest, in that case, it will indeed be a major crisis for Wang Mi.

Even if he has Beifu soldiers in his hands, once he starts fighting with the Sima family's army, he will definitely suffer a lot.

At that time, it will become extremely difficult to unify the Central Plains, let alone unify the rivers and lakes and set sail to the sea.

Therefore, the existence of Sima Dezong can be said to be a huge reward from God to Wang Mi.

Because Sima Dezong could not take care of things, it was the turn of the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying to take charge of the government. Therefore, Wang Zhenying's choice was Sima Dezong's choice, and it was the choice of the royal family.

And without the emperor's support, it is no longer easy for other members of the Sima family to stir up trouble.

In addition, the reputation of the Beifu soldiers for being strong and good at fighting was not only spread among the foreign armies, but also among the Jin army, those soldiers who did not belong to the Beifu sequence were also well aware of it.

Various factors were added together, so that even long after the Northern Expedition began, the Sima family's army was still standing still.

It's because the situation is not that favorable for them. What's more, the Beifu soldiers are really powerful, and anyone will weigh the pros and cons before taking action.

Calculate this account carefully. If there is no chance of winning at all, why go to war?

Isn't this a waste of strength?

Who can do such a thing of losing money and making a profit?

Not stupid, not stupid.

However, looking at the current situation, the Sima family can no longer hold back and are really going to start a rebellion!

"OK!"

"Let them come together!"

However, there is still a huge question, that is, if the Sima family really starts an uprising, what do the Beifu soldiers in the Northern Expedition need to do?

There should always be a precaution.

First we have to see where Sima Shangzhi and the others will attack from.

It is said that the two brothers are now entrenched in Yangzhou City, which is naturally closer to the capital Jiankang.

It's almost anywhere you can reach by stretching your legs.

Moreover, now that the army is out on an expedition and the capital city is empty, if we start from Jiankang City first, we may be able to attack the royal court directly.

By then, who cares what Wang Mi wants to do?

It doesn’t matter if you are using troops to show your own dignity!

As long as I occupy Jiankang, I will be the emperor, and Wang Zhenying and Sima Dezong are all scum.

When the time comes, I, Sima Shangzhi, should be the emperor!

It is normal for Sima Shangzhi to have such thoughts. After all, everyone is named Sima. In this regard, they will naturally think that they all have a chance.

What to do?

The emperor takes turns, come to my house today!

Moreover, for the people of the Sima family, attacking Jiankang City is also a very profitable thing. One reason is naturally that the interior of Jiankang City is empty at this time, and based on their strength, there is a high possibility of success.

Furthermore, this is also a kind of path dependence.

During the previous civil strife, rebels from all walks of life often marched directly from Yangzhou to Jiankang, threatening the safety of the palace.

Although they were unsuccessful in the end, it was because of various chances and coincidences, not because of the strong defense force of Jiankang City.

Now that the Beifu soldiers entrenched in Jingkou have been dispatched to the Northern Expedition, a major force that Jiankang can rely on has disappeared.

At least it is greatly weakened. So, why not aim at building Kangcheng?

And if Sima Shangzhi is really a hero, he can also choose another path.

It is to contain them from the rear and compete with the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Right!

It's not impossible.

In this way, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army will be directly affected, and it will be absolutely impossible to capture more cities.

It's already good to be able to hold on to the place we currently occupy.

Didn't you see, Liu Yu and Liu Jinu also gave up halfway on the Northern Expedition, and they followed the same trajectory in history.

At that time, Luoyang had been captured and Chang'an had been besieged for many days. To be honest, if we could hold on for a while longer, it would not be impossible to capture Chang'an.

Even, according to historical records, Liu Yu's army actually controlled Chang'an for a period of time. However, at this time, the counselor Liu Yu relied on most, the Minister of Logistics Liu Muzhi, passed away, and Liu Yu had to return to the court.

.

A lot of business has become unfinished.

However, the situation that Wang Mi faces today is also very different from that in history. There are several major forces that often like to make trouble.

One is the Huan family of Qiaojun. Their good son, Lang Huanxuan, has not yet grown up and has no power of his own.

The other one is the members of the Sima family.

Although the people are still the same, their strength is not as good as before.

Without the support of Sima Daozi, it is basically difficult for Sima Shangzhi to achieve great things. What's more, the current strength of Beifu is also different from before.

This is a brand new team, and its powerful combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to the Jin army in the past that exclusively used cold weapons.

The main reason why Sima Shangzhi and the others still persisted in their evil intentions was that they had never suffered the loss of firearms on the battlefield.

When they actually come on stage to say hello, they will understand.

It feels good.

You know it's awesome.

Will Wang Mi give them such an opportunity?

of course not!

However, if Sima Shangzhi is going to cause trouble in the near future, then there is naturally no possibility that Wang Mi will return to Jiankang to take charge of the overall situation.

Chang'an is in sight, and he will not make the same mistake as Liu Yu again.

However, a general is definitely still needed.

So, who should be sent?

This is really a problem.

There are many famous generals in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and there is actually no shortage of candidates. However, Wang Mi needs to seriously consider who is more suitable.

Don't even think about Liu Yu and Huan Chong.

One is the general that Wang Mi relies on most and is the backbone and absolute core of the Beifu soldiers, while the other is the commander of the Jingzhou soldiers.

Spiritual idol.

More importantly, Huan Chong was getting older and was not suitable for repeated long-distance raids.

Then, the generals who go to Jiankang to rescue will probably be chosen from the younger generation of generals.

If we really talk about strength, to be honest, no one is weak.
