Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1176 Who should I let go?

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 could naturally 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 20 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 is the master Shao Guo!

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 couldn’t even look at it.

The previous Sima Yao was already 30 years old. If he had been useful, for example, he would have been productive 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 the Beifu soldiers in his hands, he will definitely suffer a lot once he starts fighting with the Sima family's army.

At that time, it will become extremely difficult to unify the Central Plains, let alone unify the world 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.

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!

"Okay!"

"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 of all, we need to see where Sima Shangzhi and the others will attack.

Ordinarily, the two brothers are currently entrenched in Yangzhou City, which is naturally closer to the capital Jiankang.

It’s almost as easy as stretching your legs.

Moreover, now that the army is out on an expedition, the capital city is empty. If we start from Jiankang City first, we may be able to go straight to the royal court.

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 aspect, they will naturally think that they all have a chance.

What?
The emperor takes turns to do it, 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 came 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 defensive power of Jiankang City.

Now that the Beifu soldiers entrenched in Jingkou have been mobilized for the Northern Expedition, then 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 Expedition army will be directly involved, and it is absolutely impossible to capture more cities.

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

You may not have noticed that Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, who also gave up halfway on the Northern Expedition, 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 peacefully, 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 what it used to be.

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 up and say hello, they'll understand.

It’s great.

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 recently, 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 to send?
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, 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 for rescue will probably be chosen from the younger generation of generals.

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

Maybe whoever is sent is enough to resist Sima Shangzhi and other rabble. However, this is the critical moment of the Northern Expedition. To be honest, every general who participated in the Northern Expedition feels a sense of honor in his heart.

They also wanted to witness Chang'an's return to the Jin Dynasty, and everyone wanted to make a contribution in the Northern Expedition.

However, at this passionate moment, you told them, ah, Jiankang City needs you, you should go back first!

Do you think they will be willing?
Maybe in the end, these people will not disobey Wang Mi's order. Whoever he asks to go back must go back.

However, I don’t know what I think in my heart.

Definitely not willingly.

After all, this is an offending job, and the most important thing is that although Sima Shangzhi and his like are not to be feared, the Beifu general sent out to fight must be brave enough.

Those who only know how to use their brains and words, but cannot use their fists and feet smoothly, will not succeed.

He Mai: Just click my name, why bother?

You want me to go, but I won’t go yet!
Leaving me to continue the Northern Expedition is just what you want.

As a result, there seem to be fewer and fewer candidates, and the range of choices available is also getting smaller and smaller.

Others, etc., some don't need to be considered at all.

Such as Huan Xuan.

This can be done directly by name, there is no need to be secretive.

He is only a teenager and has little battlefield experience. Moreover, judging from his current performance, he is easy to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

With his qualifications, he is still not enough to fight against Sima Shangzhi.

Lao Tan?

That's even more impossible!
Now Lao Tan has been stabbed in the stomach and is recovering from his injuries. It would be good if he can save his life.

Do you still want him to travel a long distance and return to Jiankang?

The right candidates seem to be in front of you, and there are only a few people left.

However, who should be allowed to go is still a question that needs to be tangled.

Wang Mi walked out of the military tent and looked up at the vast starry sky.Under the bright moonlight, the silence of Yongzhou City at this moment makes everything even more bizarre.

Fires were blazing into the sky inside and outside the city. Although it was late at night, the brothers of the Jin army had not rested yet.

In the distance, Liu Muzhi and Xu Xianzhi joined hands and were counting the remaining Ding Ling soldiers.

In the city, He Mai led people to search from house to house, and found out one by one the Ding Ling soldiers who had done evil in the city and had shrunk when they saw the Jin army's victory.

Those who did bad things, such as burning houses or harming the people in the city, were handed over to the Jin army soldiers to be executed without leaving any further trouble.

As for those who are honest and responsible, of course there is no need to kill them all. Aren't there also many Ding Ling people who surrendered?

Among them are the heroes who killed Zhai Zhao. If these remaining soldiers are handed over to them and allowed to lead by themselves, everyone can be considered to have their own place.

This work started in the evening and has been going on for several hours now, but it has not been completed yet.

It can be seen that in a short period of time, almost all Ding Ling people have entered Yongzhou City, and there are quite a few of them.

Why can't these people be more conscious?
Wouldn't it be better to line up and surrender yourself?
It is a waste of manpower and material resources to ask people to search, and it is ignorant of current affairs!

Hey!
After all, you have to worry about your own people!

After a while, Wang Mi finally made up his mind and called Zeng Jing over, asking him to find the target candidate.

…………

"Wuji, you and I are brothers, and I don't want to mince words about many things. Now the Sima clan is ready to make a move. The Queen Mother has already revealed the news. I judge that they will start an uprising in the near future."

"So, you need me to go back to Jiankang?"

As expected of a close friend, He Wuji realized it on his own before Wang Mi brought it up.

Wang Mi said sadly: "That's right."

"You also know that our current deployment of troops in the capital is seriously insufficient. If the capital is really in trouble, we still can't rest assured if we only rely on the Queen Mother."

"Beifu must send a general to guard the capital. After much thought, I think my brother is still reliable."

"I just wronged you."

"I know very well that you have followed me on the Northern Expedition and are all fighting for the goal of making achievements. It is really unfair to transfer you back now."

"However, this is also forced by the situation. There is no other way. Not long ago, Sima Shangzhi had sent his younger brother to contact Wang Aning, hoping to respect him and stir up trouble. Thanks to Aning's mind, there was no promise."

"However, with the current situation, even if Wang Gong doesn't agree, it can only be delayed for a while. Sima Shangzhi will not give up."

"If you haven't arrived by the time he has started to stir up trouble, then the situation in Jiankang will be critical!"

No one knows better than Wang Mi that the current Jiankang City is just a paper window that can be broken with a poke, and it really has no defense capabilities.

The most important thing is that the generals are not good enough and have no real experience in leading troops. Under such circumstances, if you can hand over the important capital to them and let Sima Shangzhi steal it?
Is it even possible that he will succeed?

After all, although Jiankang has always been the capital of the Southern Dynasties in history, its stability is not as stable as Chang'an. It has changed its owner several times, and waves of people have seized Jiankang City. You just sing and I will appear. .

Therefore, if He Wuji was not allowed to go back and guard it, maybe Sima Shangzhi might actually steal Jiankang City.

"Between you and Huan Yi, I still choose you. Huan Yi has outstanding abilities and can indeed stand alone. However, after all, he is still from the Huan family in Qiao County. Now, in our Northern Expedition, we still need to pay attention to unity."
