Sima Yue was quite pleased.

His son likes to eat, drink and be merry, not keen on power, and was still worried about how he would keep the family business of the Southeast Palace in the future, but now that he has made progress and knows how to win over his henchmen, how can the father not support it?

I only heard Sima Yue say: "Since you plead with words, you can't chill your heart for your father, but the position of the lord is impossible, and your father is the king of the southeast, so you have to be just and strict." Zhao Liushu joined the army for the first time, and being a team leader is almost the same, as long as he makes a profit at that time, he will be promoted. ”

"Father, the position of team leader is too low." Sima Haiyun said again.

Sima Yue immediately glared at him and said, "The position of the team leader is not light, how old is he!" And for the father promised you, as long as he profited from the merits, he would be promoted. And Haiyun, you can't give him too high a position, it's easy to be ambitious, and let him be the team leader, starting from the bottom, you can see his ability better. You don't want to be a mediocre person. ”

As soon as Sima Haiyun saw this result, he knew that his father had made up his mind, so he could only leave with a depressed face.

When Shen Ning learned the news, he was not disappointed.

The selection of talents in the Great Jin Dynasty is subject to the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and that set of products is more suitable for the selection of civilian officials, and now the princes who are divided in various places, and the princes who support the army and respect themselves in various places in order to better take power, the selection of military generals naturally pays more attention to ability and military merit. After all, the princes are not stupid and understand the shortcomings of the positive system in the nine products.

Of course, although the ability and military merit are valued, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is still a stepping stone, so what is valued is the ability and military merit of the disciples of the family, and even if the disciples of the poor family are brave, it is difficult to be promoted.

"Shizi, the position of the team leader is not bad, we all understand the good intentions of the prince. It's a pity, I still think that with the power of the army, I can better deal with Wang Xiao and Sima Jian. Shen Ning said casually.

Sima Haiyun nodded and said, "Shen Ning, don't worry, I'll go to my mother, she values you very much, let her come forward, even if she can't be the master, at least the brigade commander!" ”

After speaking, Sima Haiyun left in a hurry.

In fact, Shen Ning's goal is also the lord of the building, and the owner of the building is from the ninth grade, which can be regarded as a military general with a grade, and then he is an official and does not have much power.

The Great Jin military system inherited the hereditary military system, and supplemented the troops with the recruitment system, which was divided into the Chinese army, the foreign army and the state and county soldiers. The Chinese army is the Su Guard Army and the Yamen Army, the duty is to defend the imperial city, defend the Beijing Division, directly under the central court, there is something to go out, there are 300,000 Chinese troops in the heyday of the Great Jin Dynasty, but there are still 100,000 external claims that have been decayed until now, and it is estimated that it is less.

For example, the 40,000 Xuzhou guards in Xuzhou were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but with the division of various places, the imperial court had long lost its command of most of the foreign armies, and became a bargaining chip for each prince to support his own troops.

As for the state and county soldiers, they are local armaments, and a prince like the King of the Southeast has a maximum of 3,000 people, but there are 20,000 in the entire Xuzhou, and once there is a military matter, there will be more recruits immediately.

Shen Ning's goal is revenge, and Xuzhou's troops are his goal, although Li Yuanxiao will spare no effort to help Shen Ning avenge, but although he leads the troops, he has no right to command the troops.

Leading troops and commanding troops are two different concepts.

What Shen Ning wanted was the right to command the army, to supervise the military of Xuzhou, to reward and punish, and to appoint military generals.

So the higher the starting point, the more Shen Ning can start his own plan.

But he also understands that it is basically impossible for the owner of the building, Wang Beichuan has been mixed for so long, this is the owner of the building, Shen Ning's qualifications are lower, and Sima Yue will not agree.

The other side.

Li Ru was not idle, he found Yu Meiqian and asked Yu Meiqian to chat with the princess, so when Sima Haiyun went to find the princess, he happened to meet Yu Meiqian.

Sima Haiyun asked her mother to come forward and help Shen Ning get an official position, and with Yu Meiqian's help, the princess was grateful to Shen Ning, so she immediately went to Sima Yue.

When Sima Yue heard the purpose of the princess, he couldn't cry or laugh, laughed and scolded Sima Haiyun for being cunning, and knew the power of his mother.

The princess said: "Lord, Zhao Liushu's child is smart and loyal, if it weren't for him, Haiyun's life would be in danger, he is not only Haiyun's life-saving benefactor, but also the benefactor of the concubine." If such a talent is not greatly rewarded, what do others think of the prince? Could it be that because Sima Jian executed the Zhao family for treason with the enemy, the prince did not dare to reuse Zhao Liushu? ”

Others categorically didn't dare to say these words, but the princess was Sima Yue's wife, and the two had a deep relationship. Although Sima Yue is a traitor, he loves his wife and is a qualified husband.

"Don't be angry, princess, Zhao Liushu is the benefactor of the southeast palace, how can this king not reward him? But the position of the lord of the building is really not good, how about the brigade commander? And this king let him choose his own team leader, and he can defend wherever he wants in Xuzhou, and once he gains military exploits, this king will give him a promotion. Li Yuanxiao is his father-in-law, are you still afraid that he has no military achievements? Sima Yue said with a smile.

The princess nodded and said, "If the brigade marshal is spoken, it is barely possible, and the concubine will not embarrass the prince." ”

.....

In this way, Shen Ning's official position was finalized, the position of brigade commander.

However, he was able to choose where he wanted to go and who his two team leaders would be. Needless to say, Zhang Liao is one of them, and the other is Li Ru's son Li Xiaojie, as for the next lord and Wu Chang, it will be arranged according to the Southeast Palace. However, with Sima Haiyun here, he will definitely arrange the most elite soldiers for Shen Ning.

What Shen Ning has to do next is to choose the place to be defended.

So where to go?

Xuzhou has a total of seven counties, from north to south, divided into Dongguan County, Langya County, Donghai County, Pengcheng County, Xiapi County, Linhuai County and Guangling County.

Nowadays, Dongguan County is the most fierce, and the 30,000 troops in Xuzhou are there. It is followed by Langya County and Donghai County, because it borders Chengyang County in Qingzhou, so the war situation is also continuous.

It stands to reason that Shen Ning should choose Dongguan County, where there are the most military achievements, but don't forget that although there are many military achievements, they are all small merits, if you can destroy the conspiracy of Sima Jian and Wang Xiao and save the Southeast Palace, this is a great merit.

So Shen Ning couldn't be too far away from Pengcheng.

However, Shen Ning couldn't deliberately get close to Pengcheng, it would arouse the vigilance of Wang Xiao and the others, so he had to find a good excuse.

Just when Shen Ning was at a loss, Li Ru had already thought of a perfect plan for him.

"Childe, you can go to Changshu County in Donghai County!" Li Ru introduced.

Changshu County is located in the west of Donghai County, and to the south is Pengcheng County, which is not far from Pengcheng.

Shen Ning asked, "Sir, will going there arouse the suspicion of Wang Xiao and the others?" ”

Li Ru explained: "Gongzi doesn't know, north of Changshu County, is the border of Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, because the three states border, so the jurisdiction is unknown, so there are no less than four groups of bandits, perennial cut paths, robbing passing merchants, it is a cancer. Sima Yue has sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but they have failed to achieve results, so the rewards and military achievements there are very high. ”

Shen Ning clapped his hands and smiled: "Go to suppress the bandits? Haha, that's a good excuse! Wang Xiao and others will definitely not doubt it! ”

"Childe, if you can take those bandits for your own use, it will be a big help." Li Ru reminded.

Shen Ning nodded, and immediately decided to go to Changshu County.

At this point, he glanced at his system.

“75100。”

This time I was appointed as the brigade commander, and the system will definitely have a reward, I don't know if I can meet the new wheel?
