Farmer of Shu Han

Seeing Sima Zhao's confused expression, Zhang Chunhua sighed again.

After all, Zishang is still not as good as Ziyuan!

"My son, you all know that Cao Zhaobo is an indecisive person, so how can you be so sure that he will not send troops to rescue him?"

"Don't forget, how many people in the court are against the old thief?" At this point, Zhang Chunhua cursed again, "People like Cao Shuang, who are as stupid as pigs and dogs, if it weren't for his surname, An Neng would be the same as the old thief. Are thieves equal to each other?"

As she said that, she looked at Sima Zhao again, "Cao Shuang is indecisive. What if he is persuaded by those who are against the old thief to send troops to rescue him?"

When Sima Zhao heard this, he couldn't help being a little stunned, and subconsciously asked:

"If Cao Shuang can really send troops to rescue him, wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"It is indeed a good thing for Wei, Hebei, and the old thieves," Zhang Chunhua looked at his son and said slowly, "But what about you? It may not be a good thing."

Seeing that his son had not yet reacted, Zhang Chunhua could only continue to remind:

"Does it mean that my son studies all day long but doesn't know the story of Spring and Autumn Protons?"

Sima Zhao suddenly woke up.

Proton? !

Sir, you actually want him to go to Qiao County to be a hostage?

Facing his mother's gaze, Sima Zhao remained silent for a long time, and finally said as if he had made up his mind:

"If Cao Shuang can take the overall situation into consideration this time, send troops to rescue and defeat Feng, the boy will be willing to be a hostage in Qiao County."

Wen County in Hanoi is the hometown of the Sima family.

Wen County is across the river from Henan. The river will freeze in winter. The Han army in Luoyang will most likely take advantage of this opportunity to cross the river.

At that time, Wen County will be the first county to face the Han army.

As a descendant of the Sima family and also the future patriarch of the Sima family, what reason is there to shrink back?

Hearing her son's answer, Zhang Chunhua seemed to have expected it. She was not surprised, but asked another question:

"What if the old thief has a bigger plan?"

besides?

Sima Zhao raised his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.

I thought I was going to be a messenger, but I didn't expect that I might become a hostage. This already sent chills down Sima Zhao's back.

But listening to what my mother meant, I actually had a deeper plan.

Zhang Chunhua sneered:

"Hebei is in danger, that is, the Sima family is in danger, but the old thief Sima has no way out now. In order to find a way out, what can't the old thief Sima do?"

"If you go to Qiao County to cry in court, you will be treated as a joke and you will be treated as a joke. On the contrary, it is the safest thing."

"As a hostage, there are old thieves leading an army outside, and with Cao Shuang's temperament, he will not harm you easily unless he has to."

"I'm just afraid. You went to Qiao County and became a joke. You didn't move back to recruit troops, but you were detained again."

When Zhang Chunhua said this, he paused for a while and then said slowly:

"You also said that Cao Shuang is an indecisive person, but he is surrounded by villains and all gentlemen avoid him."

"What if those villains want to harm my son out of their own selfish interests? What should I do?"

Not to mention anything else, Ding Mi, one of the three dogs in Taichung, was deeply hated by Sima Yi. Ding Mi also knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation with Sima Yi.

When Sima Zhao goes to Qiao County, will Ding Mi let him go easily?

For another example, Huan Fan, a fellow countryman of Cao Shuang, was driven out of Hebei by Sima Yi in front of the world. It can be said that he was completely humiliated in front of the world.

How could a man with such a character who killed his pregnant wife in anger not hold a grudge?

Given the current situation, he had no choice but to win over Sima Yi, but Sima Zhao took the initiative to send him to his door. Who could guarantee that this person would not turn his anger on Sima Zhao?

After listening to Zhang Chunhua's analysis, Sima Zhao's back was already filled with chills.

He said with some trembling:

"My lord, my lord said that I don't need to worry too much when I go to Qiao County this time. Could it be that he didn't think of this?"

"Or, maybe the adults have already made arrangements secretly?"

Zhang Chunhua sneered "ha" and closed his eyes:

"What arrangements can he make? If you go to Qiao County this time and are humiliated by Cao Shuang, it will only make it more obvious that he is a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty."

"If you become a hostage and bring in reinforcements, he will have more control over the war in Hebei."

"If you lose your life because of this..."

Zhang Chunhua was already gnashing his teeth, "Then he can break the Sima family's deadlock!"

General Cao is now representing the imperial court with the emperor in his arms.

If your son is harmed by General Cao, he is harmed by the imperial court.

At that time, no matter what happens in the war in Hebei, Sima Yi can use this as an excuse to stand on his own feet or surrender to the Han, and he will have sufficient reasons.

If Sima's situation is dead, he will be able to break a way out of his life.

Sima Zhao's body trembled involuntarily.

Although he really didn't want to believe what his mother said.

But he knew that if there was anyone who understood you best in the world, it was his mother.

Compared with the sorrow of Zhang Chunhua and Sima Zhao, Feng Dasima, who was far away in Hedong, received Jiang Bin, the governor of Hedong, and a group of officials with a happy face.

Jiang Bin performed well in the Shangdang battle.

Although he was not as good as Shi Bao and others, under the circumstances at that time, he was able to appease the hearts and minds of the military and the people, which was quite remarkable.

Therefore, in the past few years, with him serving as the governor of Hedong, and with Wang Han cooperating in the defense of Tianjing Pass on Taihang County, it is quite reassuring.

After meeting the officials from Hedong, Feng Da Sima left Jiang Bin alone.

"Has Jiang Langjun ever thought about returning to Chang'an to take up a post?"

Feng Dashima didn't talk nonsense, but asked straight to the point.

Jiang Bin was stunned.

He originally thought that Da Sima kept him here to tell him about the events before the war, but he didn't expect that he was going to ask him to leave Hedong at this time?

"Da Sima...this?"

Feng Dasima looked at Jiang Bin and said slowly:

"The general is seriously ill. Even the medical school is not confident that the general can survive this winter."

Jiang Wan has been recuperating from illness in the past few years.

Especially in the past two years, he has often been unable to govern, so Fei Yi was appointed as Shangshu Ling to take over political affairs.

After hearing what Feng Da Sima said, Jiang Bin's expression did not change at all.

Hedong and Guanzhong are separated by a big river.

Now the big man has no shortage of horses, so it only takes a day or two to send a fast horse back and forth.

Therefore, Jiang Bin has always been able to understand his master's condition in time.

He had even been prepared for Ding You.

However, Jiang Bin was still greatly surprised when Da Sima Hui said this to him before the battle.

"The "Execution List" written by the Grand Sima for His Majesty says: The Prime Minister dedicated his whole life and devoted himself to Chang'an. He regretted his death in Chang'an. He had to regret it for himself. He could not be safe because he cared about the king's career, so he risked danger to fulfill the late emperor's wishes."

"Before the Prime Minister died of illness, he entrusted foreign affairs to Da Sima and entrusted domestic affairs to your lord."

"The great Sima was ordered to do so when he was in danger. He couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well. His Majesty also often said to someone that it was his duty to eliminate filth and trouble. Since he was weak, the infant was sick and sick, and he failed to achieve the prescribed plan, making him miserable all day and night."

"The Prime Minister is responsible for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the Grand Sima is for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and you are also responsible for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Although I am not talented, I am still willing to do my best for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

"I would like to thank Grand Sima for his kindness. However, if I return to Chang'an because of your business, I am afraid that your Excellency will not only not be happy, but will also be angry because of your dethronement."

My health is not good. If something unexpected happens because of my anger, it would be extremely unfilial.

Feng Da Sima did not expect that Jiang Bin would say so many words when he mentioned such a sentence casually.

His eyes became a little complicated, even mixed with inexplicable emotion and admiration.

The world is divided into three parts, and Shu Han is probably the place with the most idealists.

Unfortunately, idealists often end up in tragedy.

Thinking of this, Feng Dasima couldn't help but sigh:

"The general and I are not outsiders either."

The matchmaker for the two ladies on the left and right is Jiang Wan.

Not to mention the early friendship between Feng Da Sima and Jiang Wan.

"Every time I think of the Prime Minister who died of illness in the army, and even when the Prime Minister was buried, my brother (Zhuge Qiao) who was in Nanzhong could not come, I always lamented."

He glanced at Jiang Bin and said, "So, naturally I don't want the general to follow in this footsteps. It's unnecessary."

With Dahan's current situation, there is no need for this.

"Bin thanked Da Sima for his kindness," Jiang Bin didn't know whether he was mocking himself or joking, "If I can really leave my name in history like the Prime Minister, I believe that your Excellency can put me in Nanzhong even now."

Feng Dasima was silent for a moment and nodded:

"It's an unnecessary step on my part. Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and you can't force yourself on others."

"Da Sima must not say that," Jiang Bin said quickly. "In the current war, Da Sima is busy with military affairs, so he has to take time to talk about someone's personal matters. He is really frightened and grateful."

"After this battle, if Bin is lucky enough to serve the decoction in front of you, it will be all thanks to the great Sima."

This battle in Hebei is destined to be a big war, and we don’t know how long it will last.

It's almost the end of the year now, and it's hard to say whether the general can survive this year.

So Feng Da Sima just smiled after hearing Jiang Bin's words.

Just treat it as a scene.

At this point, Feng Da Sima was naturally at a loss for advice and just said:

"Since you already have your concerns, I won't say any more."

After the conversation, Da Sima walked out first. Jiang Bin who followed behind couldn't help but said:

"Don't worry, Great Sima. If Hebei can really be recovered in this battle, your Excellency will be happy and smiling even if you are already under the yellow soil."

After a pause, he added another remonstrance:

"In the war in Hebei, the commander-in-chief will immediately assume the great trust of His Majesty and take responsibility for the lives of the soldiers. Although Bin is stupid, he will risk his life to give advice. I implore the commander-in-chief to put the war first and not be distracted by matters unrelated to the war."

When Feng Dasima heard this, he stopped and looked back at Jiang Bin, with some complexity in his eyes again.

In the face of idealists, Feng Dasima is still willing to talk more truth.

When he was in Nanzhong, some of the unhappiness between Jiang Bin and himself was actually caused by his being too loyal to the royal family.

In this respect, he can be considered an idealist.

Of course, this unpleasantness is all in the past.

Feng Da Sima personally recommended him for the position of Governor of Hedong.

"Jiang Langjun has already said that this is before the war," Da Sima said with a touch of confidence and calmness on his face, "If I have to handle even the trivial matters before the war personally, what should the soldiers and staff officers under my command do? "

Even if it is a tactical rehearsal during wartime, the army and staff have conducted countless rehearsals in the past few years.

Remembering that the Central Protectorate would select the best students to study in the staff group every year.

Jiang Bin smiled bitterly, "It's Bin who is so arrogant that he wants to advise the Grand Marshal on military affairs."

Although the Grand Marshal is the successor designated by the Prime Minister, and even the Grand Marshal is the Prime Minister's disciple.

But it must be said that the two people's styles of doing things are basically two extremes.

With his status, he is not qualified to judge who is better or worse.

But...

Looking at the figure walking in front of him who seems to be a little relaxed, and then thinking about when he was in Shu, his master often sighed about the Prime Minister's hard work.

Jiang Bin couldn't help but have a somewhat disrespectful thought in his heart:

If the Prime Minister could listen to Yang Zizhao (Yang Yong)'s advice, "there should be a system for governance, and the upper and lower should not invade each other."

I think even if it is not as relaxed as the Grand Marshal now, it must not be as hard as it was.

After mobilizing the soldiers and officials of Hedong in the Hedong Prefecture, Grand Marshal Feng rushed to the next target without stopping.

Wang Han, who was in charge of guarding the Guanxing Pass, had been waiting for the arrival of the Grand Marshal.

When he saw the familiar figure, he trotted up excitedly:

"I, the humble general Wang Han, pay my respects to the Lord!"

He called him "Lord" instead of "Grand Marshal", which showed the relationship between him and Grand Marshal Feng.

Everyone can call Lord Feng the Grand Marshal, but not everyone can call the Grand Marshal the Lord.

"No need to be polite." Grand Marshal Feng, who was riding on a horse, gestured to Wang Han, "Lead the way."

There was no politeness, and the tone was not polite, but it was an attitude that many people wanted but could not get.

Because it showed that Grand Marshal Feng was not shy.

"Yes!"

Wang Han responded, but did not turn around, but stepped forward and personally led the horse for Grand Marshal Feng.

He was originally a member of Wang Ping's clan, brought out of the clan by Wang Ping, and followed Grand Marshal Feng for many years, often receiving instructions.

When he followed Grand Marshal Feng in the past, it was normal for him to lead the personal guard camp and hold the whip and follow the stirrup.

Although he had led the army to defend one side alone, he was not embarrassed to return to his old job at this time.

But when Feng Da Sima saw this, he raised his whip and pointed at the soldiers who were welcoming him in front and asked:

"You are a general at least. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for your attitude?"

Wang Han shook his head and said seriously:

"Who in the army doesn't know that I was brought up by the Lord? The Lord's great kindness, I will never forget it. Not to mention holding the horse and whipping for the Lord, even if I die for the Lord, I will not hesitate."

As he said, he pointed to the direction of Feng Da Sima's whip with his other free hand, "And as long as the Lord allows, I am afraid that many people will fight for it if I am willing to hold the horse for the Lord."

As one of Feng Da Sima's earliest followers, Wang Han could almost be said to have seen with his own eyes how the Lord led the Han soldiers and continuously defeated the bandits.

Step by step, he established his prestige in the Han army.

Especially after the death of the prime minister, the Lord, who was in charge of the internal and external military affairs, turned the tide in the battle of Shangdang, and his reputation in the army reached its peak.

No soldier is unwilling to follow an invincible commander.

One of the most direct reasons is that an invincible commander can allow them to achieve greater military merits while also saving their lives as much as possible.

Honor, military merit, life...

These are the things that these soldiers need and value the most, and they are most likely to get them only by following such a commander.

Junhou is the commander most recognized by the Han soldiers, and even in the minds of many people, he is already a military god.

In the face of the war, is it shameful to be able to lead the horse and whip the military god of the Han Dynasty?

No, this is an honor, and even an opportunity!
