Chapter 796 Cutting the soil (Thanks to the lord Hualing Road 2009)
In Ye City.

Sima Yan nervously watched the situation on the front line.

He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the outcome.

The deep trenches and high bases that the Qin thieves were beaten showed that their own side had the upper hand.

For this battle, he took out all the money and silk accumulated in the treasury, rewarded the soldiers, and promised [-] acres of fertile land per person after retreating from the enemy, which boosted the morale of the Jin army.

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, let's get over the difficulties in front of us first.

This trick really worked, and the Jin army fought hard.

"Reward Zhang Fangming with a pair of light armor, a sword, and twenty beautiful ladies! If you can capture and kill Yang thief, I will treat you as a county prince!" Sima Yan drew a big cake very generously.

All the ministers exchanged glances with jealousy.

"Although the city of Ye is strong, it cannot last long. It needs the aid of Qing, Yan, You and Ji before we can deal with the Qin thieves. The Qin thieves have deep trenches and high fortifications. Our army cannot be trapped in the isolated city. We should strengthen Liyang, Guangping, and Yangping. , Neihuang and other places to defend." Xun Xu changed his previous low-key and actively advised Sima Yan.

Now that the Qin army is sticking to the defense, Yecheng does not need so many troops. It is best to disperse them, firstly to increase the defense of other cities, and secondly to reduce the pressure on food and grass.

"What Xun Shizhong said is true!" Everyone echoed.

Sima Yan also nodded in agreement, but with a flash in his eyes, he said quietly: "Xun Qing, when will the Wu army rush to help?"

The Yingchuan gentry colluded with Zhonghui, and Xuchang fell, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Sima Yan.

And without the Xun family nodding, how could the Yingchuan gentry cooperate so much?
So now Xun Xu's position is very delicate.

Sima Yan's question pointed out the collusion between Xun Xu and Zhong Hui.

Xun Xu was shocked, he didn't expect Sima Yan to be so direct.

If I make a wrong answer at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this door today.

If the Sima family becomes suspicious, it means that the gate of hell is not far away.

Feng Wei, He Shao and others gloated over their misfortune.

Xun Xu said calmly: "Zhong Hui stationed troops in Xuchang, but did not take Huaisi. His intention must be to fight in Yecheng. If your Majesty can stop the Qin rebels, the Wu army will go north."

At this time, to say that you don't know, or to shirk, is definitely looking for death. It's better to admit it openly, let Sima Yan know his value as a middleman, and have some scruples.

Fortunately, Sima Yancheng's mansion is very deep, so he won't be impulsive and can bear it.

Sima Yan looked calm and breezy, without any displeasure on his face, he said meaningfully: "I understand."

Xun Xu flattered, "Your Majesty is wise."

Shi Bao cupped his hands and said: "There is Wang Hun in Qingzhou, so there is no worry for the time being. Youzhou is what I worry about. If Qin thieves come down from Youzhou, Hebei will not exist."

"Do you have any countermeasures?"

At this time, Feng Wei suddenly took the lead and said: "Murong Shegui has been plotting against Liaodong, why don't we reward the chiefs of the three tribes, and order the three tribes to go all out to help!"

Shi Bao's original intention was to send lobbyists to lobby, promising to lure him to send troops with the benefit of money and silk.

The three tribes of Xianbei had enmity with Qin State.

And they don't want to see a complete Qin country, and they can get things done by sending a clever lobbyist...

But Feng Zhen sold all the old background of Jin State with one sentence.

The infighting in the court of the Jin Dynasty is internal fighting, but it has always been on guard against the barbarians in all directions.

"Your Majesty..." Shi Bao was about to speak when his heart skipped a beat. Feng Wei knew nothing about military strategy, and his only strengths were infighting and flattery.

Why are you so proactive?

With a movement in his heart, he glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, Sima Yan had a calm face, as if he knew that Feng Zhen would say this, Feng Zhen's eyes were a little dull, and he was not as cunning as before.

In other words, it was Sima Yan who asked Feng Wei to remonstrate!
"Did Sima have a good strategy?" Sima Yan stared at Shi Bao with twinkling eyes.

The ball hit him again.

Shi Bao is still somewhat loyal to the Sima family. After all, without Sima Yi's promotion back then, Shi Bao would not be where he is today.

But compared with his own family, this loyalty can only be buried in the bottom of his heart.

The tree fell and scattered.

How easy it was to rise at that time, how fast it will be defeated now.

Sima Yan's intentions are obvious, Feng Wei is just a messenger.

He wants to sell his ancestral land, how can others stop him?
"Your Majesty is a wise master, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of it. If you are old and foolish, Your Majesty forgives your sins." One of the great benefits of getting old is that you can pretend to be confused at any time.

Sima Yan turned his gaze to the others, "Do you have any good ideas?"

The imperial servant Liu Yi came out and said: "It must not be done. If this is the case, I am afraid that in the future, the three tribes of Xianbei will not lose their tails. The tigers will retreat, and the wolves will come again. The country will be exhausted. Since ancient times, it has been extremely humiliating. He is a barbarian, the nature of a barbarian is insatiable greed, today is an example, a long history, how to judge today's events?"

The Sima family's reputation has long been rotten, and they are not afraid to add another.

"Does Qing have a good plan?" Sima Yan asked patiently.

"The Qin thieves' far-reaching attacks cannot last long, and our army is still undefeated, so why ask the barbarians for help?"

"Your Excellency's words are wrong, and you should plan ahead. Today, you are just defrauding Xu Zhi to lure him into a decisive battle with the Qin thieves. Both will suffer. In the future, it will be easy to clean up." Feng Zhen retorted.

"People don't stand without trust, what's the matter with the country? Who will help me when the thieves come back in the future?" Liu Yi argued hard, but this sentence happened to hit the Sima family's backbone.

Extraordinarily harsh.

Sima Yan's expression became gloomy, and he stared at Liu Yi, "Do you have a good plan?"

Liu Yi knew that his words were lost, "I... have no countermeasures!"

Sima Yan said coldly: "Since there is no way to retreat from the enemy, how dare you obstruct the country's plans here? Withdraw!"

Liu Yi retreated sadly.

Sima Yan's gloomy eyes kept staring at his back.

He did not forget that Liu Yi and his son were Sima You's staunch supporters. When Sima Zhao recruited him as an official, he said that he would not be sick, and he was considered loyal to Cao Wei. Obedience.

As soon as Liu Yi left, there was no voice of opposition in the hall, and they all agreed with Feng Zhen's strategy.

At this time, Sima Yan wants to grasp every straw, so why does he care about the "long history"?
If the Sima family had scruples about this thing, they wouldn't have come to this day.

Shi Bao secretly sighed.

Xun Xu also sighed.

But they are all smart people, they will not disobey Sima Yan.

Starting from Sima Yi's oath in Luoshui, from Sima Shi killing celebrities, from Sima Zhao killing the king in the street, from Sima Yan usurping Wei, there are more and more smart people like this in the Jin Dynasty court.

"Since you all have no objection, let's act like this." Sima Yan glanced at all the officials in the hall, and his eyes fell on Shi Bao, "The country is in danger, and Da Sima will take care of me."

Shi Bao looked up suspiciously, wondering if Sima Yan asked him to contribute, or let him mind his own business.

But the meaning is almost the same, to contribute more to the battle, and to take care of other nosy things.

Sima Yan seemed to be encouraging him, but he was actually beating him.

After all, Shi Bao is the only one who can be a great user in Yecheng.

Shi Bao cupped his hands and said, "I take orders!"
