Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 185 Sima Fang

As the saying goes, it is just used on the blade. The two thousand soldiers and horses equipped with this equipment are used as sharp knives. As long as they are used properly, they can completely play a decisive role. During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao burned Yuan Shao's food and grass in Wuchao. , leading to the final victory, but, for the sake of safety, one cannot place hope on a black nest.

Although these new types of equipment cannot be mass-produced with the current strength, based on Ma Jun's experience, the existing equipment can be recast, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness and protection of the troops, and increases the output and defense.

"Report to Prime Minister! Master Jing Zhaoyin is asking to see you outside the door!" The guard entered and saluted Li Song respectfully.

Li Song looked bewildered, what did Jing Zhaoyin want from him?Jing Zhaoyin is one of the three assistants, one of the three officials in the Gyeonggi area that governs the capital, and his position and rights are equivalent to the prefect of a county, but he is different from other prefects.

The current Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to the mayor of the capital of later generations. The current Jing Zhaoyin is Sima Fang. As for the other two three assistants, Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng, they died in the chaos between Li and Guo. That is to say, Sima Fang is one of the only remaining three assistants.

"Let Master Sima Fang come in!" Li Song thought for a while, but still had no idea, so he had to give up!If he couldn't do it, he didn't think about it, and he would know if he called Sima Fang in.

"No!" The guard clasped his fists in response, turned around and walked out, and said to Sima Fang outside the door: "Master Sima! The Prime Minister is here to invite you! Please come in."

Sima Fang tidied his clothes in a hurry and walked in. Before Sima Fang entered, Li Song sat down on the table and waited for Sima Fang to come in. When Sima Fang saw Li Song, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Xiaguan Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, I have met the prime minister!"

"I don't know if Jing Zhaoyin came to find out the truth. What's the matter?" Li Song asked, pointing to the mat beside him, asking him to take a seat.

Li Song carefully looked at Sima Fang. Sima Fang's white face was sharp and angular, his deep black eyes were shining with wisdom, his sword eyebrows were slanting, his temples were graying, and he had a mustache. He was fifty years old. There is one.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" After Sima Fang thanked him, he knelt down on the mat, straightened his back, without losing the majesty of Jing Zhaoyin. Compared with the casual Li Song, he looked more serious! "Report to the Prime Minister! Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng have been vacant for a long time, and the matter of the three assistants is of great importance, so we must not be sloppy! Please make a decision early!"

"Although the third assistant is the same as the prefect, he is an official of the capital. Naturally, he cannot be sloppy in governing the capital area. This candidate needs to be carefully considered." Li Song said, thinking for a while and continuing: "I don't know if Master Sima has something in his heart. If there are suitable candidates, I can also recommend one or two.”

"Report to the Prime Minister! There are already candidates for the lower ranks! I have specially engraved their names on the bamboo slips! Please have a look at the Prime Minister!" Sima Fang said, took out the bamboo slips he had prepared from his arms, and handed them to Li Song respectfully. , "If there is no problem, tomorrow, please invite the prime minister to play the emperor with me!"

Li Song took the bamboo slip and opened it. The people mentioned in it were all Li Song's confidantes. The candidates for Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng were Gao Shun and Tan Daoji respectively, and Jing Zhaoyin's candidates were Zhang Liao.

When Li Song saw Zhang Liao's name, he frowned involuntarily, and looked up at Sima Fang who was still kneeling on the mat, motionless, feeling a little strange in his heart!Does Sima Fang not want to do it anymore?
"Lord Sima! What does Zhang Liao on Jingzhaoyin mean?" Li Song asked Sima Fang, pointing to the place where Zhang Liao's name was engraved on the bamboo slips.

Sima Fang didn't look sideways, saluted and said: "This is another thing I want to mention, I'm getting old! I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to take up the post of Jing Zhaoyin, so I specially recommended General Zhang Liao to replace me Tomorrow, I will submit my resignation and go back to my hometown Wen County to retire."

Although Sima Fang has only achieved the position of Jing Zhaoyin in his life, he has a unique vision. He has praised Cao Cao many times.

It's a pity that the Chollima he selected was wiped out by Li Song. Since Li Song welcomed Han Xiandi to Xuchang, the power of the three assistants was directly emptied by Li Song, and even Sima Fang was doing nothing all day long!

Li Song wouldn't believe that if Sima Fang was really old, would there be anything else in it, but I don't know, anyway, I'd better think about Sima Fang's resignation!

"Lord Sima, you don't need to resign in a hurry, Wen Yuan is still a junior! You still need a respectable old man like you to sit in the post for a while!" Li Song said.

"I've made up my mind to go! Prime Minister, please don't embarrass this old man, let me go back to my hometown!" Sima Fang said neither humble nor overbearing. Sima Fang saw that the strength of the Han Dynasty was exhausted, because he was really old and he didn't want to be under Li Song's command. Be a titular Kyung Jo Yoon.

Li Song tried to persuade Sima Fang to stay, but Sima Fang refused all of them, and the two exchanged some more conversations. Finally, Li Song agreed to Sima Fang's request and allowed him to retire and return home!And turned to worship Sima Fang as the riding captain, Sima Fang stood up and said goodbye.

After Sima Fang left, Li Song fell into his thoughts. Sima Fang not only had good eyesight, but also had first-rate sons. He had eight sons, all of whom were talents. It is Sima Bada.

Among Sima Fang's eight sons, especially his second son, Sima Yi, is the most powerful. He assisted the four generations of Wei Guo's Tuo Gu and the government. Usurping Wei has made a huge contribution!

Sima Yi is good at making ingenious strategies and has made many conquests. Among them, the most notable achievements are that he led the army twice to successfully resist Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and the expedition to pacify Liaodong. also made important contributions.

Counting now, Sima Yi is also a 20-year-old young man. When the work at hand is finished, he will go to Wen County, Hanoi County in person to recruit this great talent to his side. As for his brothers, he will naturally not let him go.

As for whether Sima Yi will play a trick to usurp the throne in the future, Li Song is not worried at all!With himself watching, Sima Yi couldn't do anything. If he died, he would let him drink the poisoned wine in advance. Li Song weighed in his mind and made a plan.

In the early morning of the next day, all civil and military officials were already waiting for the emperor to go to court in the main hall. Li Song sat on the right hand side of the emperor's throne. Xie seldom goes to court anymore, and even if he comes to court, it is long overdue!A half-dead look.
