Farmer of Shu Han

A sharp whistle sounded, and then someone yelled, "Rest!"

Tongguan, which was originally busy, immediately caused a small sigh.

"Don't run around, rest on the spot, don't drink raw water, there is boiled water over there, don't defecate anywhere..."

The civilian husband has already sat down to rest, but the students who rushed over from Nanxiang still need to go around the area they are responsible for, tirelessly exhorting them.

Until you are sure everyone is listening, you can find a slightly cleaner place to sit down.

There were already a few people sitting there, and when they saw the other party sitting down, someone came over:

"Brother Li, your speed is much faster than ours. It seems that you will score a lot this time."

The one called Brother Li waved his hand and said "喛":

"It's just a hard job. Those folks heard that they had pulled the bronze man for the Wei thief the year before last. They have experience. Listening to them explain how to do it is much faster than us groping for it ourselves."

Speaking of Wei thief, some people can't help but slap their mouths:

"It's a pity that I was not selected for the martial arts hall. I heard that the seniors of the martial arts hall who are a year ahead of us are now at least a military marshal with an actual leadership of 200 people."

"Even if we lead civilian husbands now, there are only a hundred or so people. We really can't compare with others."

If you really become a Marquis of the upper battalion, you will really jump over the ranks in this life.

The treatment in the Han army is extremely high.

The salary received by a military marquis is enough to feed a family of five.

It is equivalent to graduating from school and working in later generations. After the internship period, you can support the whole family.

Of course, the danger is extremely high.

But this is not the end, it's just the beginning.

The most important thing is that in the war-torn world, if you want to be superior to others, serving in the army is the fastest way.

"He took his life to blog, can it be the same?"

There are also people who don't think so, "If it were me, I might not necessarily want to enter the martial arts hall."

"You have to be selected. Besides, the martial arts hall is really going to select you, how dare you not go?"

Those who disagreed curled their lips and fell silent.

There is no way to refuse such a thing as joining the army if it really falls on me.

Otherwise, overnight, not only will he be expelled from the academy, but he will also be forcibly conscripted into the army, starting from a big soldier.

It is not impossible to hide clumsiness in the academy, but strict entry and strict exit are enforced in the academy.

There are certain requirements for various skills.

Although it is not required to be proficient in all the six arts of a gentleman, at least the most basic things must be mastered.

For example, the head of the mountain started with "numbers". If you are not proficient in "numbers", how can you get out of the college gate?

Want to pass all kinds of assessments without exerting all your strength, unless you are a genius.

But where in this world are there so many geniuses?

"Brother Liu, what's your opinion? If you had a choice, would you like to enter the lecture hall, or would you like to be like this?"

Brother Liu looked into the distance and said faintly:

"If there is an opportunity, who would not want to enter the lecture hall? A man born between heaven and earth, how can he be responsible for what he has learned?"

"Besides, after leaving the academy, you have to study in the martial arts hall for another three years, while we have to work hard in the local area for three years."

As he spoke, he picked up a clod of soil beside him and threw it out casually, as if throwing away his regrets:

"Moreover, the way of promotion is wider than ours. After all, the army can be transferred to a local government."

"And it is even more difficult for us to enter the army. Even if we have the opportunity to abandon literature and join the military, how can we compare with those seniors who came out of the lecture hall?"

Some people were a little unconvinced: "That's not necessarily the case, so what about throwing a pen from Rongban Dingyuan?"

Brother Liu wasn't angry either, he just smiled lightly:

"During the four hundred years of the big man, how many classes have been Dingyuan?"

He raised his chin and pointed in a direction:

"Did you see that there is a backward leader from the east of the river over there, who has the same name as the head of the mountain back then."

"And he's from the Pei family in Hedong. Know what he's doing now? Doing the same job as us."

"We led the civilian husband to repair Tongguan. Before we arrived, he ran around Tongguan throughout the winter just to check the terrain of Tongguan."

"It is said that I want to learn cartography from the seniors in the army, and I want to draw a qualified topographic map of Tongguan."

"If you don't know each other, I bet you won't recognize him face to face. He is a person from a family."

"That's why I said, how can Ban Dingyuan be so good? The head of the mountain has a saying that it is useless to govern a hundred people, but can An be able to rule the world?"

"This is the reason why everyone has to take the exam for three years. It's better to do the practical work well first, and let's talk about it after passing the exam."

A few people who were a little bit arrogant in their hearts and were reluctant to lead their husbands to work, finally stopped talking after hearing these words.

Brother Liu looked to the north of Tongguan, where the rumbling river passed through Luoyang.

It is different from the hot weather in Guanzhong.

Luoyang was in chaos throughout the winter.

The emperor's Eastern Expedition, the Guanzhong army was defeated and retreated to Luoyang, and then Cao Rui died in Xuchang...

Luoyang, the nominal capital of Wei State, has not had time to adapt to the arrival of more than 100,000 troops from Guanzhong.

Then the news of the new emperor's enthronement in Xuchang plunged Luoyang into panic and confusion.

Fortunately, Sima Yi can be regarded as a veteran minister of the three dynasties, coupled with his status as the auxiliary minister of the two dynasties, and with the support of Hanoi, which is only across a river from Henan.

After the beginning of spring, after confirming that the Shu captives had no plans to cross the Weihan Ancient Road and Zhiguan, the people of Luoyang finally settled down a little bit.

After the emperor ascended the throne in Xuchang, there was no definite news about when he would return to Luoyang.

There was even gossip that Wei Tianzi planned to move his capital to Xuchang because Luoyang was too close to the Shu captives.

In other words, return to the land of Weichang in order to revive.

It was under such circumstances that Sima Yi took the position of assistant minister and Tai Tuo to take charge of Luoyang temporarily.

Naturally, the imperial palace cannot be lived in, after all, Sima Taifu is an old loyal minister of Wei State.

But with his status, it is the most normal thing to start a government and have the right to appoint officials in the government.

The news of the death of the false Prime Minister of Shu finally passed the strict defense lines of the Han and Wei countries and reached Sima Yi's hands.

"My lord, the news is absolutely true. I heard that Bandit Feng is currently in charge of everything in Guanzhong."

Sima Shi hurried in from the outside, and before he had time to catch his breath, he couldn't wait to tell Sima Yi the news.

For so many years since the vanity case was forced to remain silent, with the new emperor's ascension to the throne, coupled with the changes in the current situation in Wei.

Master Sima was finally able to participate in the affairs of the Grand Tutor's residence openly and aboveboard.

When Sima Yi heard the news of Zhuge Kongming's death, he kept sitting in a dazed posture, his eyes glazed over, and his face expressionless.

After a long time, he sighed:

"That day when Zhuge Kongming sent an envoy to the army, I asked him about his diet. I knew that he had a lot of work but he didn't eat much. At that time, I knew that his life would not be long."

"But I didn't expect that he would die so soon."

When Master Sima heard what his lord said, he also expressed regret:

"That Ge thief must have known his fate not too long ago, so he has been eager to fight for so many times. It is really scheming."

"If it weren't for that Cao... the late emperor was too impatient and forced my lord to fight Ge Bandit, and only followed my lord's original plan to fight the Shu captives."

"It's still unknown what the current situation in Guanzhong is like!"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed, but finally he shook his head:

"I can predict his life, but I can't predict his death. Besides, Zhuge Kongming was anxious, and the late emperor was equally anxious. Why didn't he know that his illness could not be delayed any longer?"

It can only be said that this is God's will.

Taking a step back, if the first emperor hadn't been too persuasive, I would have been a veteran of the three dynasties of the Wei Dynasty, no, now I am a veteran of the four dynasties of the Wei Dynasty.

As a veteran of the four dynasties of the Wei Dynasty, if the late emperor hadn't been too persuasive, why would I have taken such a step?

Everything is God's will.

Although Sima Shi said that the responsibility for the battle in Guanzhong was shirked on Cao Rui.

But he also knew that his lord would lead the army in person after all, so talking too much would be bad.

So I changed the subject:

"My lord, there is still news from Hebei that Feng Mingwen sent Wei Wenchang to cross the river to capture Shangdang. What shall we do?"

Regarding this matter, Sima Yi is calm and calm:

"What should we do? If the bandits want to capture Shangdang, then let the imperial court send troops to support them."

His tone became a little faint:

"Could it be that the imperial court will let me lead the army at ease?"

Whether it's worrying about Luoyang, or worrying about Taifu going to Yecheng, they are worried anyway.

The Taifu knew it very well, and so did the imperial court.

The Taifu knew it in his heart, the court knew it, and the court knew it. The Taifu knew it in his heart.

So Tai Tu not only didn't bother to take care of it, he even didn't bother to talk about it.

Shangdang is gone, isn't there still a Taihang Mountain across it!

Anyway, Yecheng was the land of Wei's feudal state, and it was not the place where Sima Taifu started his family.

"But Hebei is now..."

Master Sima hesitated to speak.

Sima Yi said indifferently:

"There are no soldiers in Hebei, so they can be transferred from Huainan. In the past, the old city of Hefei was built on Chaohu Lake, and the Wu people could not break it with the help of the navy."

"Now that Man Boning (that is, Man Chong) has moved the new city to a dangerous place, I don't believe that Wu people can break it."

"Hefei is not broken, no matter how many Wu people have, how dare he divide his troops to go north to attack Shouchun? Are you afraid that the back road will be cut off by Jingqi, and the soldiers will have nowhere to go?"

Besides, now that the people of Shu are in full swing, it is still a question of whether Wu Guo is willing to send an army northward again.

During the First Battle of Guanzhong, Jingzhou was able to mobilize part of its troops to pass through Wuguan to guard Chang'an, which is a good example of the problem.

Sun Quan is not very good at fighting, but he still has a very good vision.

Sima Yi did not believe that Sun Quan could not see the changes in the world situation after the First World War in Guanzhong.

In this battle, the Kingdom of Shu felt really strong.

There are both elite soldiers and fierce generals.

Especially Feng Thief, who moved thousands of miles, if he hadn't really hit the river, no one in the world would have believed that he could hit so far, he could be called the champion Hou Zaishi.

Sima Taifu, who faced Ge thief and Feng thief directly at the same time, felt the most profound, but the pressure was too great.

"Those are issues that the imperial court needs to consider, not issues that we need to consider."

Sima Yi didn't want to get entangled in the issue of Shangdang.

He asked Master Sima:

"Has Zishang sent back the news from Xuchang?"

He once again assisted the new emperor, and at the same time received a bunch of rewards, even the children of the family were all appointed as marquis and officials without exception.

Although Sima Taifu said that he wanted to guard Luoyang and guard against the Shu captives from the east, he could not leave lightly.

But it is still possible to send a son to thank him instead.

At the same time, this is also an acceptable method for both parties.

Of course, Sima Zhao's trip to Xuchang was not purely for the sake of thanking him.

Liu Fang and Sun Zi have not delivered letters for a long time.

Sending letters from Luoyang is like a stone bull entering the sea, and there is no news.

That's why Sima Yi thought about asking Sima Zhao to go to Xuchang and visit him.

"My lord, there is no news yet."

Sima Yi was obviously more concerned about the news from Xuchang than the Shu people's capture of Shangdang.

He frowned and murmured:

"The situation is not right..."

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Master Sima didn't quite understand.

Sima Yi said slowly:

"Don't you think it's strange that a person who said that the country of Wei was only prosperous for three generations became the empress dowager of the third generation?"

Master Sima was stunned: "What? My lord, this word..."

"It's the current Empress Dowager Yu of the Kingdom of Wei who once said that the Kingdom of Wei will only prosper for three generations."

The Sima family and the Yu family are both big families in Hanoi.

Before that, the two could be regarded as political alliances.

Coupled with Sima Yi's identity, he knows something about the harem.

After the first emperor was established, the Yu family was demoted as the main wife. In a rage, he once said in person:

The Cao family likes to set up scumbags. This is called replacing the nobles with the humble, and replacing the monarch with ministers. If the upper and lower follow the same example, the prosperity of the Wei Kingdom may not last for three generations.

Therefore, the first emperor had always disliked the Yu family, and it could even be said that he hated it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been demoted to Yecheng a few years ago.

If it weren't for the pressure of these years, in order to win over the aristocratic family again, the first emperor might have died of old age in Ye City.

How could it be her turn to be the empress dowager now?

Master Sima turned pale with shock: "Is there such a thing?"

"This is Your Majesty, if you die, you will leave me with trouble!"

Sima Yi sighed.

It can be imagined that the emperor was young, and Yu's right to speak in the court was so important as the empress dowager.

Don't say that Emperor Wen once ordered the descendants not to interfere in politics.

What time is it now, who cares what Emperor Wen said?

As a family, Sima Yi himself can lead troops to guard Luoyang alone, so why can't the Yu family use the empress dowager to expand their influence?

Master Sima understood somewhat, but did not fully understand.

Sima Yi looked at him and said meaningfully:

"So, the wives' family is very important. If it's good, it can help others to succeed, and if it's bad, it can destroy people's affairs."

Master Sima's face changed slightly when he heard his lord's words.

"I heard that your wife said recently that my Sima family has many talented children. What I did was not a loyal minister of Wei. Is there such a thing?"

Sima Shi's complexion was as white as paper.

Sima Shi's wife is none other than Xiahou Hui, and they are brothers and sisters with Xiahou Xuannai.

When the Xiahou clan was tabooed by the late emperor, the lord hinted that he wanted to divorce his wife.

Just because Xiahou was pregnant with another child, he put this matter on hold for the time being.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, my lord would bring up the old matter again.

Master Sima knew very well that his wife was very knowledgeable and tolerant.

Not only can she help her plan a lot of things, but she also knows what's in her heart on weekdays.

A cold light appeared in Sima Yi's eyes:

"If a man wants to achieve great things, how can he be limited by the love of his children? Don't think that our Sima clan is in full swing, but it is actually in danger."

"There are Shu captives in the west who are pressing against each other, and the Wei family in the east who are suspicious. Xu Chang, Sun and Liu have not heard from each other for a long time. It is a good thing to hope that they will not turn their backs."

"Not to mention that Hanoi is the foundation of our Sima clan, yet another Yu clan has emerged. I'm afraid it has already joined the Wei clan."

"If there is another problem in our own family, it will be like a sun in the sky, and I am afraid that it will fall into the abyss overnight."

Sima Shi was sweating coldly, he couldn't speak.

In April of the 15th year of Jianxing, Sima returned to the mansion from Sima Taifu, and poisoned his wife Xia Houhui to death.

In the same year, Sima Yan, the eldest son of Sima Zhao, was born.
