The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 233 Jin's Response ([-])
Counting from the big defeat in 263, Jin has had more than four years to recover.Now, the general distribution of Jin's military power is as follows:
Guanzhong Army: Commander Sima Wang, stationed in Chang'an, with a strength of [-] (reconstruction).

Longxi Army: Commander Hu Fen, stationed in Ji County, with [-] troops (reconstruction).

Jingzhou Army: Commander Sima Liang, stationed in Nanyang, with [-] troops (battle damage).

Yangzhou Army: Commander Sima Ni, stationed in Shouchun, with a strength of [-].

Qingxu Army: Commander Sima Jun, stationed in Xiapi, with a strength of [-] (newly built).

Youji Corps: Commander Wei Guan, stationed in Jixian County, with a strength of [-] (reinforced).

Bingzhou Army: Commander Sima Tai (fourth brother of Sima Yi, son of Sima Kui of Jida), stationed in Taiyuan, with a force of [-] (newly built).

In addition, there are 15 reorganized Luoyang Central Army (among them, Chen Qian took away 50).The total standing force of the country is [-].

"Your Majesty, the Yongliang Corps now has a total of 11 troops. Just in case, I suggest that another 3 people be transferred from the Luoyang Central Army to reinforce it."

"Yes. But who can lead the army?"

"Uh..." This really asked Zhang Hua.Now in the Jin court, Shi Bao must be the most able to fight.But just now you said not to use him.Could it be possible to send Sima Fu there?That old man's ability is not a problem.The key is please don't move!

So Zhang Hua turned his attention to Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu was also depressed.In a country as big as Dajin, it is not too difficult to find a general.But the key is that boss, your Sima family's minds are getting narrower from generation to generation!Take a look at the legion commanders in various places in Dajin now.Hu Fen and Wei Guan are all related by marriage to your family, and the rest are all Sima!If I recommend someone with another surname, it won't pass with you at all.But in your Sima family, apart from Sima Fu, Sima Wang and his son, there is really no one who can fight!
"Uh, Your Majesty, I recommend Prince Anping's son and his servant Sima Zikui to lead the army."

Sima Zikui is the eldest son of Sima Fu, Sima Yong.At the last moment of Sima Zhao's life, he briefly served as the central leader of the Cao Wei Empire.During the period of the Wei, Jin and Zen dynasties, the stability of the Chinese army was successfully maintained.It effectively guaranteed the smooth progress of the Wei and Jin Chan Dynasties.

But after Sima Yan came to power, he immediately turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.He added the title of general of the town army to his father-in-law, trying to hold the Chinese army more tightly in his own hands.As for Sima Yong, this prince is actually not in good health, so he is at ease with Sima Yan's tricks.So he handed over the power very readily.

So Pei Xiu's suggestion fit Sima Yan's wishes: Third Grandpa, your eldest son sent troops, wouldn't it make sense if you don't give some pointers?Uncle, this, I am a little embarrassed to dismiss you.No, compensation is coming.

"Good! Shang Shu ordered this discussion to win my heart. Let's do it like this!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, according to the law of invading Western Shu in the past. Shu's thieves are small and weak, and every time they send troops, they like to bring Dongwu together to send troops, so..."

Hey, it's very clear in my heart that what Pei Xiu said is right.But the country has so many holes to fill.How could this be possible!

"Well, what Shang Shuling said is quite right. But based on my perception of Soochow, this country has more than self-preservation but not enough progress. The battle four years ago is a good example of the problem."

"Then what does His Majesty mean?"

"Pass the decree to the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle, let them strengthen their combat readiness, and beware of Dongwu's sneak attack. In addition, also send an order to the sixth uncle and the general. When necessary, the sixth uncle will support the fifth uncle (Qingxu army supports Yangzhou Army), the general will put down the chaos of Shangyong as soon as possible, and then lead the army back to Luoyang in no time. Support Jingzhou when necessary."

"According to the order."

……

That night, the news that the imperial court was going to let Sima Yong take command to help Yongliang reached the Anping Prince's Mansion.

"Father, my child has never been on a battlefield. This time I will lead an army of [-] to march west, and I still need my father's guidance."

Sima Fu, king of Anping, was 87 years old this year.Although the old film emperor still regards himself as a remnant of the Great Wei in front of others.But now at home, there is no need to pretend so much.

"Well, my son is going this time, pay attention to three things."

"Father please show me."

"First, after going to Chang'an, don't think that Zichu is your younger brother and boss him around. Although Zichu is indeed a bit greedy and contemptible, his military skills are far superior to yours. So after going to Chang'an, everything Follow his orders."

"Here! My son has made a note. Please rest assured, father. Although Zichu is Hai'er's younger brother, he has now come from the uncle's family. He is the son of the eldest son. My son should treat him as if he was serving the great sect."

"Well, very good. This second time, this time you go to Chang'an, you can directly ask Zichu to lead the [-] Chinese troops alone, and march to Jieting first!"

"Street Pavilion?!"

"Well. I lived for my father for more than 80 years, and met Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, and Zhuge Kongming... Zhuge Kongming invaded for the first time more than 30 years ago, and almost shook the foundation of Wei. If Zhang Junyi hadn't taken down the street pavilion... Over the years, the national power of Xishu has become weaker and weaker, and Jieting is impossible to reach, so the fortress of Jieting has been completely abandoned. But this Guan Zifeng is different. I think his reform in Xishu should be well received. Therefore, the invasion of Western Shu this time should not be underestimated. After your support army entered Yongliang, you will be stationed at Jieting. In this way, no matter if there is a problem in Guanzhong or Longxi, you can effectively rush to help."

"As ordered, I will discuss this matter with Zichu after my son goes to Chang'an. I must follow my father's opinion. Then, there is a third matter..."

"Well, you did a good job as the leader in the first two years. But after all, you haven't really been on the battlefield. So you must have someone to assist you."

"This is exactly what the child is worried about. Please ask my father to show me. Who can help?"

"Well, father, I suggest that you ask His Majesty for an order tomorrow to conscript Wang Rong, Wang Xuan Chong, Wang Jun (jun), Wang Shizhi, Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zimei to go with you."

"Uh, father. Wang Suichong is very familiar with the boy. He is good at dancing and comforting the soldiers and the common people. If he can be in the army, the boy will not worry about the morale of the army. But who are Wang Shizhi and Zhou Zimei? The boy has never heard of it." pass."

"Wang Shizhi is Xu Jingshan's son-in-law."

"Ah?! The Xu Jingshan my father was talking about, but Xu Miao, who used to be the one in Wei State who made the local people live and work in peace and contentment every time he went?"

"It's this person. Why, the son-in-law he's looking for is not bad, right?"

"It shouldn't be bad."

"Hehe, don't underestimate him. This person's family is also a high-ranking official with two thousand stones. In terms of family background alone, he is more noble than my Sima family. The reason why this person is not well-known is that he does not have those so-called famous people. That Huoyun evil god is just pretending to look after him on purpose. When my father was the governor of Sizhou, he was still a small worker in Hedong County. Since then, my father has paid close attention to him. This person is now in Jingzhou Yang Hu's subordinates are in charge of joining the army, and my uncle is full of praise for his talent. With this man, you don't have to worry about marching and fighting, or arranging troops."

"Oh! Good! Then father, where is the last Zhou Zhi Zhou Zimei?"

"This man came from a poor background, so it was difficult for him to be promoted. He was already a general of the Yamen when he was out of the town. But now he is still a general of the Yamen under Du Yu's subordinates. Hmph, what is Zhou Zimei's talent? The goalkeeper can pretend? Well, if you want to make an analogy, this person is probably farther than Zhang Wen!"

"Ah?! Father, thank you father. With these three people, I can go to Yongliang to take up the post with peace of mind."

after awhile.

The sleepy Sima Fu opened his eyes: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Uh...Father. There is something unclear about the child, and I still need my father's advice."

"You want to ask, why did King Qi come to my house and asked me to come forward to make suggestions to His Majesty's candidate for the crown prince, but the old man ignored him?"

"Exactly. Father, I am very familiar with Zhong'er. That dementia can't be changed when you grow up. If such a person becomes the prince, I will be greatly promoted..."

"Hehehe, this Da Jin is the Da Jin of the second brother Zhong Da's family, not the Da Jin of our third uncle Da's family... So, this is a family matter, we don't want to get involved."

"Father!"

"Okay, I'm tired of being a father, you should contact Du Yuantan and Uncle Yang as soon as possible, and ask them to release him. Come on, help the old man back to his room."

……

When Sima Fu, relying on his six or seventy years of official career and the advantage of being well-connected all over the world, randomly selected three outstanding people for his eldest son, which greatly comforted Sima Yong's restless mind.In the Jin Palace, Sima Yan also sought comfort from his queen, Yang Yan.

"Hey, although it is said that Guan Zifeng tore up the covenant and entered the bandits brazenly, but because of his invasion, my ears have finally calmed down a bit recently."

Sima Yan's current queen Yang Yan, whose father Yang Bing died too early.She grew up in the home of her adoptive father Yang Jun.So I have always developed a cautious character.Yang Yan is a good listener to the emperor's confession.

"Your Majesty, Zitong thank you for caring about the past. It's just that Zhong'er... Seeing His Majesty working on state affairs day and night, Zitong just feels that this throne has too many responsibilities and hard work. If Zhong'er one day..."

"Queen, don't worry, I won't think about my children and grandchildren. The East Palace is established, and the next step is to find a good teacher for him. When the matter in Xishu is over, I will transfer Hu Fen to Youzhou. Then transfer Wei Boyu back to be Zhong'er's tutor. In addition, didn't Wei Boyu's daughter be said to be beautiful and well-educated? Then let her be my daughter-in-law."

"In this way, Zitong can rest assured."
