Chapter 401 Sima Yi

Chapter 396

(The time of becoming king in the last chapter was wrong, it should be April [-]th, it has been corrected.)
In March of 201 A.D., not long after Yuan Shao knew his destiny, he ascended the throne in Yecheng and called him King Wei.

In April, Luo Zheng proclaimed himself king in Chang'an, and ordered to change Anling to Qian County, and make the eldest son Luo Cheng the prince's son.

Five, Jiangdong Sun Ce moved to Jianye and was called King Wu.

In June, Cao Cao moved to govern Pengcheng. Because Pengcheng belonged to the state of Peng in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was called King Peng.At the same time, envoys from 36 countries in the Western Regions went to Chang'an to pay tribute. They all said that the Western power Yushuang wanted to send troops to invade the Western Regions, so Luo Zheng was asked to send troops to resist.

When Luo Zheng heard the news, he urgently summoned his confidants, civil and military, to discuss.

In the meeting room of the Wangfu, Luo Zheng looked around at the crowd of civil and military officials, and asked loudly: "Who can tell Gu, where is the Guishuang Empire?"

Fazheng said loudly: "During the pre-Qin period, there were Yuezhi people nomadic in Hexi, and they were very powerful. In the period of Emperor Wendi, the Yuezhi people defeated Wusun Kingdom. It was difficult to kill the king and seize all the land. Later, they were defeated by the Xiongnu. The part went west to the Amu Darya River Basin and was called the Great Yuezhi. The small part moved to the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao area and was called the Little Yuezhi. About the fourth year of Emperor Wu Yuanshuo, the Great Yuezhi conquered Bactria and ruled the entire Amu Darya, Xixi The Er River Basin is ruled by five Xihous, named Guishuang."

Luo Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Oh, so, this Guishuang Kingdom was built by the Dayue Clan?"

Fazheng said, "Exactly!"

Luo Zheng looked around at the people in the hall and said, "Will the Western Regions be saved?"

Jia Xu said: "The 36 countries in the Western Regions pay tribute every year, but in recent years there have been signs of instability. Big countries such as Cheshi and Qiuci have reduced their annual tribute by half. They think this is testing the bottom line of the lord. If you don't save , the 36 countries in the Western Regions will inevitably rebel against the Han. Therefore, I believe that the lord should send troops to destroy Guishuang to deter the small countries in the Western Regions and strengthen our army's rule in the Western Regions."

Luo Zheng asked: "What is the strength of Guishuang?"

Cheng Ying replied: "Our army has too little information about Guishuang. According to what Laizhu from the Western Regions said, it may be no less than [-]!"

"No less than one hundred thousand?"

Luo Zheng was taken aback, "A small Guishuang country, I have never heard of it, can there be [-] soldiers who can fight?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The number of [-] is unbelievable. It is estimated that the countries in the Western Regions have exaggerated the strength of Guishuang. However, according to the merchants, Guishuang's national strength is not inferior to that of the Western Regions. There are still at least [-] battle-ready soldiers." of."

"fifty thousand!"

Luo Zheng frowned for a moment, "This is not a small amount."

Jia Xu said: "In fact, the countries in the Western Regions may not have the strength to fight with Guishuang. It's just that the countries in the Western Regions have increased their stats and it is difficult to form a joint force, so they lost to Guishuang. The lord only needs to lead a team of elite riders out of the Western Regions to unify the countries. , you can break Guishuang."

Luo Zheng got up and walked back and forth in the hall for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses are appropriate?"

Jia Xu said: "Twenty thousand fine riders are enough!"

Luo Zheng pondered for a while before saying decisively: "Yan Xing listens to the order!"

"The end is here!"

Yan Xing rushed out and stood under the hall, hands folded, waiting for orders.

Luo Zhengdao: "Quickly assemble the army and prepare to go out!"

"As ordered!"

Yan Xingkeng obeyed his orders and strode out of the hall.

Luo Zheng looked at Jia Xu, and said in a slow tone: "This expedition to the Western Regions is not far away for thousands of miles. Wen He is old, so he doesn't have to follow his lonely relatives. Pay more attention to the situation in the Central Plains, and don't let Sun Ce, Cao Cao and others Just take advantage of the situation and counterattack."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "I obey!"

Luo Zheng looked at Fazheng again, "Xiaozhi went out with the lonely!"

Fazheng's spirit lifted, he got up hurriedly and cupped his hands, saying, "I obey!"

Luo Zheng's eyes moved down, and fell on another person, and said in a deep voice: "Zhongda!"

Sima Yi hurriedly got up and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"

Luo Zhengdao: "Follow the general!"

"I obey!"

Sima Yi hurriedly obeyed, and then sat back.

Luo Zheng finally looked at Chengying and said, "Gongying, do you have any news about the people the general is looking for?"

Cheng Ying replied: "There is no news yet."

"That's it!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Wen He and Wen Ruo stay, and the others hurry up to prepare for the expedition!"

"As ordered!"

Everyone got up quickly and filed out.

After everyone retreated, Luo Zheng sat back at the main seat and asked, "Wen He, Wen Ruoguan, how about Sima Yi?"

Xun Yu said: "This man has a great talent, and he can be of great use!"

Jia Xu was silent and did not speak.

Luo Zheng stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go to work too!"

After finishing speaking, he winked at Jia Xu, Jia Xu had a meeting, went out without much effort, and came back again.

Luo Zheng asked: "Wen He just didn't say a word, why?"

Jia Xu said: "My lord, I have seen that although Sima Yi is a great talent, he has the appearance of a hero. If he uses it well, he can be an invincible minister who can expand the territory and stabilize the country. On the contrary, he will be chaotic. Traitor of the country!"

Luo Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand."

Only then did Jia Xu heave a sigh of relief, saying this would be a huge risk.

To be honest, Jia Xu doesn't want to discuss people behind his back, especially when he encounters a lord like Luo Zhong who can't rub the sand in his eyes, it is very inappropriate to criticize his colleagues behind the scenes, but as Luo Zheng's chief adviser, there are some things that he has to say .

Since Luo Zheng asked, he can only speak his own opinion according to the facts.

Fortunately, seeing the lord's appearance, he didn't have any other thoughts, and he also seemed to have reservations about Sima Yi.

Luo Zheng pondered for a while, then asked, "Wen He thinks, how should Gu deal with Sima Yi?"

Jia Xu said: "Xu thinks my lord has no need to worry about Sima Yi."

Luo Zheng said in surprise: "Why is this?"

Jia Xu said: "My lord is very talented. Even if Sima Yi has a great talent, he can't make any waves. The only thing I worry about is what happens behind me! However, my lord is young and powerful, and in his lifetime, he will be able to wipe out the Kwantung heroes and rule the world. The people of the world are determined, even if the first emperor is resurrected, it will be difficult to shake the foundation of the lord, let alone Sima Yi?"

Luo Zheng was stunned, and nodded again and again: "What Wen He said is very true, this general can rest assured!"

What Jia Xu said is correct, Sima Yi is not Cao Cao, no matter how ambitious he is, he is still working under him, how can he be taken seriously by him, the only worry is that his son Luo Teng will not be able to suppress Sima Yi in the future, and will be killed by him. Picked peaches.

But then again, if he could wipe out the feudal lords and rule the world in his lifetime, that would be a different matter.

At that time, the people of the world will be determined, even if Qin Huang Han Wu is resurrected, there will be no big waves.

However, keeping Sima Yi would be a disaster after all.

It's just that it's a pity to just kill him like this, since Sima Yi also has extraordinary abilities.For Luo Zheng, Sima Yi can't turn the sky in his hands, so he has to make good use of it.

Before he was about to die, he could just find an excuse to get rid of this scourge, so as not to leave the scourge to his son.
