Chapter 19: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire(1/2)

"Hahaha..." In Sikong Mansion, there were guests full of guests, laughter and joy.

Indeed, Sima Yue has licked very hard in recent months.

To use more elegant words to describe it as "respect, frugality, and concession", and to use unpleasant words to describe it as "flattering".

But no matter what, he licked it.

Sima Yi was very happy.

Sima Ying from Yecheng did not make any trouble, and even praised Sima Yue for saying a few words because Sima Yue secretly supported him as the crown prince.

This is a skill that is good at everything and a fence. The key is that it has not been exposed yet. It has to be said to be a skill.

Licking dogs and licking dogs, licking them to the end, everything is available.

Look, Sima Lu, King Fanyang, has been appointed as the General of the Southern Conquest and is about to lead his army south to deal with the chaos in Jingzhou. If he has the means, he can take advantage of the opportunity to join his confidant in Jingzhou.

Sima Xu, Sima Mo, Sima Teng, and Sima Yue are both grandsons of Sima Yi's fourth brother Sima Kui, so their relationship is naturally extraordinary, so they are definitely Sima Yue's foreign aid.

As for the original Jingzhou Governor Sima Xin, because most of the troops were sent to Shu and there were no soldiers available, he was defeated by the peasant army in Fancheng and died.

"As soon as General Zhengnan arrived, why don't Zhang Chang's bandits die?"

"There are a lot of noise. Jing, Yang, Yu, Xu and Jiang are all affected. I will quickly eliminate the situation. If the situation is suddenly lost."

"The military preparations in the Jiangnan provinces were abolished, and I don't know what they were doing. The government army was about to collapse at a touch, and even the refugees could not defeat them."

"Emperor Wu cut off the county soldiers, and there are only military officials in the area. It is hard to cook without rice. You don't have to be too harsh."

"It's time to rebuild the county soldiers in this world."

...

Everyone talked and had a great time.

Sima Yue frequently raised his cups to persuade him to drink, and everyone was filled with joy.

Director Wang put down the wine bottle, dealt with others casually, and thought silently in his heart.

Recently, his cousin Wang Yan summoned his descendants in the King of Beijing and held a secret meeting, and Director Wang went there.

During the meeting, Wang Dun pointed out that the prestige of the imperial court was declining and the states were in a trend of state transformation, which was irreversible. Since this was the case, it would be better to send your own people to the states to seize local power and take advantage of the support of the country.

Wang Yan basically agreed with this view and had high hopes for Wang Dao, Wang Dun and Wang Cheng present, believing that the three of them were the better tribe members of the Wang generation of Langya, and they should bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities and do their best to the prosperity of the family business.

Director Wang respects his cousin Wang Yan because his cousin is willing to stay in Luoyang, this dragon and tiger den and send all his younger brothers out.

According to the plan of the Wang family, Director Wang worked hard in Xuzhou to become the governor. If he couldn't do it, he would put a sect king in front and control everything behind the scenes.

Director Wang chose his friend Sima Rui.

Sima Jingwen is easier to control at least from her appearance and personality, and is the most suitable front desk cover.

But the problem also exists. Pei Dun of Wenxi Pei's family seemed to be very interested in the governor of Xuzhou, which faced strong competition.

Most of the gloomy Dao Wang’s recent mood comes from this.

At the banquet, I heard that King Sima Xu of Fanyang was appointed as the General of the Conquest South and went south to Jingzhou to quell the chaos, and I felt even more depressed.

After the expedition to the south, what about after the expedition to the south? Will a confidant be sent to serve as the governor and governor of Jingzhou? In that case, Jingzhou will be part of the Sima Yue branch.

Irritable! Sima Yi, Sima Ying didn’t react at all?

"Ahem." Sima Yue cleared his throat.

When everyone saw this, they put down their wine bottles and sat back to their seats.

"The people who attended the banquet today are all handsome." Sima Yue smiled and said, "A year ago, I didn't expect that there would be today's situation."

"The king's reputation spreads from far and near, and handsome men from all over the world come to visit, so there is a prosperous scene today." Yu Qi said loudly.

Mi Huang glanced at him. Yu Shi did not actually join the Sikong shogunate, but he was just getting closer, but he made a lot of talk here, making it seem like he was the chief aide. Where did you put Shangshu Cao?

Well, Shangshu Cao was looking at the people in the field, smiling without saying a word.

Cao Shangshu's name is Cao Fu, and he is Cao Hong's youngest son. He is over 70 years old and highly respected. He is now the chief military officer of the Shogunate and the number one assistant.

"Zi Song has passed." Sima Yue smiled and said, "Now the famous scholars from Hebei have directly joined Ye Prefecture. Most of the scholars in Xizhou have fled to Chang'an, Henan and Jiangdong have many scholars who depend on the king of Changsha. The lonely side is still a little short of it, a little short of it."

His words were said in a half-joking way, but they also had some true meaning.

Although there were many people in the shogunate, overall, there was still a shortage of talents.

Gan Zhuo, a scholar from Wu, politely declined his recruitment.

Zu Ti, a scholar from Hebei, did not enter the curtain on the grounds that his mother died.

...

To put it bluntly, people either invest in Sima Yi or Sima Ying, why do they invest in you?

Fame and power can affect the choices of many people, and this is reality.

However, there are still opportunities.

Sima Yi, who was in charge of ruling, recently dealt with an assassination incident.

Simply put, Sima Yi discussed with Sima Ying in Yecheng, and the government was decided by the two, but he ignored Sima Yong, the King of Hejian who stationed troops in Guanzhong.

You know, when we dealt with King Sima Jiong of Qi, everyone agreed to depose the emperor after the matter was completed, and support King Sima Ying of Chengdu as the emperor, and King Sima Yong of Hejian as the prime minister.

But Sima Jiong was directly killed by fire and did not bother Chang'an. The two Yecheng helped too much, which made these two brothers very disappointed.

Fortunately, Changsha King Sima Yi was clear-headed and stabilized Sima Ying in Yecheng first. He discussed all matters of all sizes and big things with him, and verbally expressed his willingness to hold Sima Ying as the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future.

This condition cannot be fully satisfied with Sima Ying.

What they want is the throne of the emperor, what the hell is the Crown Brother? Besides, I haven’t seen the edict to make him the Crown Brother now. Are you fooling me?

Fortunately, Sima Yi was willing to share the power of the government with Sima Ying, and temporarily stabilized him, but did not let him get angry on the spot, which has been delayed until now.

Compared with Sima Ying, Sima Yong really didn't get much, so he was very annoyed and the impulse to do Sima Yi was very strong.

Just a while ago, when Luoyang seemed to be peaceful, the former Sima Yong's shogunate chief minister, Li Han, who was born in Henan and the Li family from Longxi, secretly contacted the Shizhongzhong Feng Sun, the Secretariat Ling Bian Cui and others to conspire to assassinate Sima Yi.

Sima Ying in Yecheng was happy to see that he was successful and acquiesced. After all, the two of them were in charge of national affairs, and he was not the only one who had the final say.

However, Li Han was not secret in his plan and was joined by the former King of Qi Sima Ji's shogunate. Huangfu Shang learned that he had reported on the spot that Li Han, Bian Cui and Feng Sun were arrested and killed. The cavalry was engaged in Zhuge Mei, and the former Situ Changshi Qianxiu fled to Yecheng.

The death of Li Han means that Sima Yi and Sima Yong have officially broken up. Sima Ying in Yecheng probably has no patience to continue playing the trick of communist rule in the country. I heard that he has recently recruited a large number of soldiers and contacted the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu tribes, sharpening his swords and moving south. His intention is very obvious.

This incident is certainly bad news for the people of the Central Plains, and it is not good news for King Sima Yi of Changsha, but for King Sima Yue of Donghai, it may not be a bad thing, or even an opportunity.

You fight each other and fight to the end, aren’t the rest mine?

This cannot be made public, but everyone here understands it.

This is not the first time that the lord has done this.

Sima Lun and Sima Jiong were both endured to death by him, and the situation in Luoyang was opened step by step. If Sima Yi died again, he might be able to go further and everyone could benefit from it. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

*******

Outside the arsenal of Sikong Mansion, Shao Xun accidentally met two people: He Lun and Wang Bing.

After being introduced by others, we learned that they were generals of the East China Sea Army. This time they brought more than a thousand kingdom soldiers to Luoyang and obeyed the orders of the king.

"General He, General Wang." Shao Xun immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Hey, why bother to be polite!" He Lun took two steps forward, held Shao Xun's arm, and smiled: "All the villagers are all, so be willing to help each other when they are outside. In the future, they will be their own brothers, so there is no need to be polite."

Shao Xun was a little surprised. Are the noble families who joined the army so polite?

Like the Mi family, the He family and the Wang family are also Donghai gentry.

The He family has a new beginning and its foundation is relatively weak.

The Wang family is an old gentry. After Wang Lang of the Later Han Dynasty, he married the Tian family and his family background is much better than the He family.

However, the Wang family is indeed powerful, but Wang Bingze may not be. He is so enthusiastic and polite, and he is mostly from a branch lineage. His family may not be well when he was a child, so he doesn't have that much arrogance.

"That's right." Wang Bing also said from the side: "We first came to Luoyang and were not familiar with the place, so we had to join us. There were many Xu Shiren in the king's shogunate, and many Xu generals in our army. Since Shao Jun is a native of the country, he is also his own brother, and he can trust him."

Shao Xun saluted again and thanked him.

It was a bit outrageous. He actually felt the "warmth" of his hometown people. What a fuss!

Region and village party were really an extremely important relationship in the Middle Ages.

"The two generals led their troops to come, and the King of Changsha can actually be compatible?" Shao Xun asked.

He felt a little incredible, now he was so relaxed?

At that time, Sima Jiong, the King of Qi, drove all the kings and followers out of the city. As a result, He Lun and Wang Bing entered the city with more than a thousand soldiers and horses, without any obstacles.

"The King of Changsha is afraid he can't take care of himself." He Lun was cautious and said nothing, but Wang Bing said indifferently: "Actually, he has already planned to fight with the army of Yecheng and Chang'an. Although there are not many more than a thousand of us, it is also a helping, right?"

Seeing that Wang Bing's big mouth said everything, He Lun no longer concealed it and added: "The King of Changsha won over the generals of the Imperial Guards, but the results were not very significant. Some people secretly communicated with Yecheng and Chang'an, and some people pretended to be crazy and stupid, so they didn't use much for him. Moreover, the Imperial Guards were also very complicated. Some were brave and good at fighting, while some were just a slap in the gaps and were vulnerable. Now things are urgent, so naturally they have to use them."

"So that's it." Shao Xun thanked again.

It’s good to be a senior military general, and he got more news than he did. These two people will have to make more friends in the future.

"I heard that Shao Jun was the governor and was in charge of a soldier on behalf of Mi? " Wang Bing asked again.
