The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 306 Aftermath of the War ([-])
"Woooo~~~" In the gloomy main hall of Jin Kingdom Taimiao, Sima Yan brought Sima Zhong, Sima Jian, Sima Jing and other princes to kneel in front of the Sima family's ancestors' spirit tablets, sobbing softly and subduedly.

This has been Sima Yan's 30 consecutive days leading the princes who can walk independently to come here.

The founders of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were not of noble origin, and their family backgrounds were all a little weak.Therefore, its ancestral temple system is not perfect.In the Jin generation, the Sima family in Hanoi is the origin of the family, and the origin is clear.Therefore, the ancestral temple of Jin Dynasty now enshrines six spiritual tablets (after Sima Yan, the real founder of this dynasty, died and entered the temple, the seven temples of Jin Dynasty will be complete).

Sima Jun, General of Han Zhengxi, Sima Liang, Prefect of Han Yuzhang, Sima Fang, Zhao Yin of Han Jing, Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan of Jin, Sima Shi, Emperor Jing of Jin, and Sima Zhao, Emperor Wen of Jin.Three Zhao and three Mu, the six huge spiritual cards, silently listened to Sima Yan's cries.

"Wuwuwu~~~ The ancestors went through many hardships and hardships, and finally brought the destiny back to Jin. However, the unfilial descendant Sima Yan destroyed nearly half of the ancestor's foundation in less than four years after founding the country! Really, I am really ashamed of my ancestors! "

This time, the Han and Wu countries made the Northern Expedition at the same time.Although the Jin State won a big victory in Yangzhou, its defenders in Hefei also suffered heavy casualties.Although the troops in Jingzhou did not suffer much damage, the important town of Xiangyang was lost.But Wu Guo suffered a disastrous defeat in Yangzhou, and Xiangyang could not stand alone for a long time after all.Therefore, it will be a matter of time before Wu Guo vomits out Xiangyang, and the loss is nothing more than tens of thousands of people near Xiangyang - which is acceptable.

But the blow on Yongliang's side was really too big. More than 20 troops, so many famous ministers and good generals, all fell on the battlefield.The seventeen counties of the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou, as well as the more than 70 people on the registers of the two prefectures, are all gone!

A few days ago, although I was shocked to hear the bad news that Maoling was defeated, our army in Guanzhong was almost wiped out.But Sima Yan faced this battle with a more diligent working attitude.On August [-]th, Ma Long sent a report saying that the Shu thieves had been pushed away from Tongguan City.Sima Yan's spirit was completely overwhelmed at once.

Then, he ran to the Taimiao every day to cry and plead guilty.

"Father, although the country has encountered catastrophe, it is precisely because of this that we need to redouble our efforts. And all of these must be achieved by the father leading the subjects of the whole country. Therefore, I also ask the father to temporarily stop mourning and calm down. Lead us to revitalize the great Jin!"

Of course it was not Prince Sima Zhong who could say such words.It was Sima Jian, the third son of Sima Yan and Yang Yan.

"Hehehe, what the emperor said is good." He stretched out his hand and patted Sima Jian's head.Then he took another look at Sima Zhong, who was still staring blankly and drooling at the corner of his mouth.Sima Yan smiled slightly, and shook his other hand tightly inside his big sleeve.

In the past month, Sima Yan didn't just cry in the Taimiao.Instead, he thought a lot.Also really want to understand some problems.

With the sound of "squeak", the gate of the Taimiao opened from the inside out.Sima Yan lightly covered his eyes with his hand, and after he got used to the light outside, he said to the eunuch beside him, "Decree to recruit King Ping of An, King Qi, Shang Shuling, General Cheqi, Zhang Shangshu, Yang Shang Shu went to the imperial study to see him."

"According to the order."

After watching a little yellow door leave in a hurry, Sima Yan turned his head and stared at his cute second son for a long while, before finally heaving a long sigh: "Come on, send the prince off, the fourth prince, The fifth and sixth princes will return to the palace to rest."

"According to the order."

In the end, he stretched out his right hand and said to Sima Jian: "My son, follow me as a father."

"Here, Royal Father."

The two father and son held hands and walked slowly to the study.Six people including Sima Fu, Sima You, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Zhang Hua, and Yang Yao were already waiting there.

He took Sima Jian's hand to sit on the main seat, and let Sima Jian sit down below him.The first sentence Sima Yan said scared everyone present.

"I have made up my mind. Tomorrow, I will announce to the world that the crown prince will be replaced, and Jian'er will be made the crown prince."

Among the six people present, Sima Fu's eyelids twitched slightly, but soon returned to normal.It was Sima You who spoke, "Brother Huang?"

"I made a mistake at first." At this moment, Sima Yan didn't have the attitude of the youngest daughter in the Taimiao at all.On the contrary, at this time, his face was full of determination.

"I used to think that the two countries of Wu and Shu, and the state of Naoer, would be able to be pacified in my lifetime. When the world is unified, even if Zhong'er's ability is slightly weaker, it will be no problem to be the emperor of Taiping. But looking at it now, hehe..." After a self-deprecating smile, Sima Yan said: "During my lifetime, I'm lucky that I didn't see the Great Jin fall."

"Your Majesty, be careful! Although our country has suffered a major defeat, in terms of its background and strength, Wu and Shu are still unable to fight against our country alone and win."

"Uncle's words are quite right. But I have also figured it out. Even if Wu Shu can't destroy us, if we want to destroy them and rule the world, we may not be able to succeed without decades of accumulation. And what happened to me in Dajin After a big defeat, the important thing is how to deal with people's hearts. Therefore, Zhong'er is not suitable to be a prince."

It should be said that Sima Yan found the starting point very accurately on how to deal with the unprecedented fiasco: change the prince.

In the case that the emperor cannot be changed, changing the prince is really the strongest signal and expression for the ruler to cheer up and refresh.Moreover, the current prince of the Sima family is notoriously mentally retarded. This kind of prince was nothing in peacetime, but under the current situation, if Sima Zhong is still the prince.I am afraid that many aristocratic families will feel pessimistic and disappointed about the future of the Jin regime.

Therefore, changing the prince is a clear signal to the whole country: Dajin needs to cheer up, there is still hope for Dajin's future!
This is the first step to clean up people's hearts after a big defeat.All the people present are human beings, and after a little thought, they understood the key points inside.

Therefore, after Sima Yan made a brief explanation, all six people agreed or acquiesced.

"Next, I want to talk about the candidates for the guards in the various border areas. First of all, I believe that Wu Shu has no possibility of invading again in a short period of time after this war. Therefore, the current border areas should be safe. But I Da Jin suffered such a big defeat, and will be unable to launch a counterattack within three to five years. So in the next few years, even if Wu Shu provokes Da Jin, we can only focus on defense."

Looking at the emperor who sat on the main seat without talking, the six people below all felt a little bit strange.

Sure enough, setbacks are the best food for people to grow.

"Let's talk about Youzhou first. The Xianbei tribes here, such as Murong, Duan, Yuwen, Tuoba, etc., have become stronger and stronger. I need one person to go there to deter them with a strong posture. I want Uncle Meng to serve as Youzhou." Governor of the state, general of Zhenbei, general of Zhonglang who protects Xianbei."

Then, Sima Yan did not intend to discuss with others at all, and continued on his own: "Next is Bingzhou, and the Huns there are not good people. And that place is already on the border with Fengyi County, which the Shu thieves just won. Therefore, there must be a general who is good at fighting and good at governing. I think that Wang Shizhi is very good. He retreated alone, and he actually withdrew. General Lang."

"Then there is Sizhou. The gate of Sizhou's life is in Tongguan. This time Ma Xiaoxing has done a good job in Tongguan. In my opinion, let him still be General Anxi, who supervises all the military forces in Guanzhong. He will be appointed as the captain of Sili and granted the title of Marquis of Dongping. Continue Guard Tongguan for Dajin."

"It's Jingzhou again. The general is old after all, let him come back to serve. The problem in Jingzhou is that the Han River is always flooding, and the people's livelihood is always unstable. Therefore, in the governance of Jingzhou, the civil affairs are higher than the military administration. In my opinion, let Uncle Yang be in charge General Zhennan, Inspector of Jingzhou, fully responsible for Jingzhou affairs."

"The last is Yangzhou. Hehehe, Wu Gou is still Wu Gou after all, let Wei Boyu continue to sit there!"

With the constitution of Sima Yan's export, after Jin lost Yongliang, the commanders of the reorganized five local legions were settled in this way.

Sima Fu and the other six people had no objection to this: this is a very correct arrangement.It is the best choice under the current situation.

"Some time ago, I received a letter from General Ma. After reading General Ma's letter, I realized that I am blind. I have a peerless general who I don't need, but I want to use relatives. If this person has With enough authority, how can Guan and Jiang Zeitou be able to jump on the beam for a while!"
