As soon as Mao Jue asked like this, Sima Yi suddenly realized something, and he immediately became excited.

Don't......

He couldn't help it and immediately answered Mao Jue.

"Yes, there are eight brothers in the Xiaguan family, and the Xiaguan is the second."

Sima Yi nodded with inexplicable emotion.

"In addition to your brother Sima Boda, you also have six younger brothers, and the burden on your body is not light, Zhongda, I have suffered you."

Mao Jue said with a smile: "Today, the right of the state assassin and the county guard to summon has been greatly restricted, and it is not as easy to summon subordinate officials as it was in the pre-Han Dynasty, but there are still some positions that can be chosen by me."

If you have any brothers in your family who want to be famous, it is not easy to be an official in Luoyang, and you don't dislike me that Liangzhou is located in a remote area and the climate is bitter cold, then you can let him come to Liangzhou, and at least he can get a job here, isn't it? ”

As soon as Mao Jue said this, Sima Yi suddenly looked at Mao Jue with a look of surprise.

"What did the envoy say...... Seriously? ”

"What am I lying to you about?"

Mao Jue nodded: "This time the investigation team came to investigate the case, and I also had to review it well in the Assassin's Mansion, and there will be a shortage of manpower, and I am worried that there is no place to replenish manpower, and I still have to do things here."

But after this review, I realized that the people around me really can't choose casually, otherwise I don't know when, their hands will not be clean, but I don't know anything.

Zhongda, as a chief, you can't be deceived, I also want to know something, but there are not many people who can believe it, if your brother can come, I will definitely believe it, and it can be regarded as a favor for me. ”

Mao Jue smiled and extended an olive branch to Sima Yi.

Of course, the Zhuge family couldn't take his turn, but the Sima family still had some hope.

They are all former officials of the Guo family, and their future prospects are worth looking forward to.

Sima Yi was overjoyed, and the heaviness in his heart was suddenly swept away, and all that was left was a sense of relaxation.

"If that's the case, then the envoy is my family's benefactor! Sima Yi, thank you! ”

Sima Yi solemnly saluted Mao Jue and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.

"Hahaha! It doesn't have to be so, Zhongda is a talent, and the future is limitless. ”

Mao Jue helped Sima Yi up, his face full of optimism and encouragement for him.

Obviously, it is a good thing for him to use the power in his hands a little to encourage and win over the Sima clan.

Sima Yi's future will not be uncertain, after all, he is also from the cabinet and a former official of the Guo family.

What kind of rewards can you get in the future?

Mao Jue didn't know it yet, but his keen intuition told him that he would definitely not suffer.

On the way back to Guangzhi County after leaving the Assassin's Mansion, Sima Yi still did not recover from his absolute joy.

Because he was really happy, very happy.

He envies Zhuge Liang, and what he envies is his background.

He believes that because of this background, Zhuge Liang has the courage to do whatever he wants, the confidence to do whatever he wants, and the courage to do everything.

It's just because his brother is the right attendant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Zhang Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has a good relationship with his family.

All this is something that the Sima family does not have.

The eldest son of the Sima family even faced a serious situation of social death because of Xun Yu's problem, and almost lost his qualification to be an official.

The eldest son can't go out, so the Sima family is now supported by Sima Yi alone.

If Sima Yi can't open up the situation now, he won't be able to give his six younger brothers a chance to become a leader, and he won't be able to restore the family.

The Sima family is also a scholar family that has successfully transformed, what a rare thing, if the opportunity to prosper is lost due to political factors, it is simply sorry for the ancestors and ancestors.

In the past, Sima Yi didn't have the same deep confidence as Zhuge Liang, but now, he has at least part of it.

Through Mao Jue, he seems to have some confidence.

Although Mao Jie does not hold power in the Central Committee, as long as Mao Jie can enter the Central Committee, he must be a member of the Central Committee.

The relationship between Mao Jie and Chen Gong, the Cao family, and those officials from Yanzhou, as well as his own qualifications, all determined that Mao Jie had the qualifications to enter the central government.

Let the Sima family get the help of Mao Jue, let one or two younger brothers become Mao Jue's former officials, and continue to follow the route of the Guo family's former officials, so that the Sima family has a way out, this is the reward of Sima Yi's adventure.

This is a reward that many people can't get by squeezing their heads.

And he got it.

At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly had a feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying wide and the sea was wide.

Although I feel a little sorry for Zhuge Liang, I ......

Didn't he also suffer nothing?

Presumably he doesn't care about this kind of thing, and in the future, he can continue to be good friends, right?

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and what he saw in his eyes was an infinitely better future.

What such a wonderful future represents is that he can be on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang.

Sitting on an equal footing with Zhuge Liang and doing what he wants to do, he won't feel as angry as before.

Yes, exactly.

With the backstage, I can be the same as Zhuge Liang.

Definitely!

That's what Sima Yi saw.

And at this moment, far away in Luoyang City, what Guo sees in his eyes is the future of fierce collision.

In order to build a complete skeleton for the Wei Empire as soon as possible and plan the future route for this empire, Guo has a lot to do.

And what he is preparing for now is the Northern Expedition to the grassland.

The Northern Expedition to the grassland should be done sooner rather than later, and the Xianbei people should not be given too much time to recuperate.

The Wei army needed to enter the grassland in one fell swoop, wipe out all the Xianbei people, completely wipe out the threat of the grassland to the Central Plains, and then build a livestock economic zone to control the grassland for a long time.

In this way, eliminate the threat from the north before the Xiaoice River arrives in full swing, and then concentrate all efforts to deal with the threat posed by the Xiaoice River.

After the elimination of Xianbei in the north, the biggest hidden danger in the future of the Wei Empire no longer exists.

If it weren't for the early death of Tanshihuai, and the descendants and Lian were very incompetent, the Xianbei Empire at that time really had the strength to threaten the Central Plains regime.

And all this was also caused by the Eastern Han Empire itself.

In the twenty-first year of the establishment of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei followed the Xiongnu as a servant army of the Xiongnu to invade the border, and as a result, Xianbei was known to the Central Plains Dynasty as a national entity.

After the division of the Xiongnu, the Xianbei people gradually got rid of their control, and in the era of Emperor Zhang of the Han Ming Dynasty, Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu twice and resisted the oppression of the Xiongnu against them.

Then, it was not until the third year of Emperor Yongyuan of the Han Dynasty that the Northern Xiongnu, who were attacked by the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu, were forced to move to Central Asia, and the Xianbei people took the opportunity to occupy the steppe and gradually developed and expanded.

Guo has always believed that Dou Xian's Northern Expedition to the Northern Xiongnu was a great tactical success, making Le Shi Yanran and Feng Wolf Juxu the pinnacle of the Han nation's military achievements, but strategically, this was a major mistake.

This war directly caused the rise of Xianbei.

After becoming emperor, Guo Peng took the time to read the records of this period of history in the official collection of the Eastern Han government, and more clearly determined that the war was a strategic miscalculation.

Dou Xian's call for the Northern Xiongnu expedition was not for any military purpose at all, but a political adventure.

Because Dou Xian had a grudge against Empress Dowager Dou's favorite minister Liu Chang, he sent someone to assassinate Liu Chang and tried to blame Cai Lun, but things fell apart and he was imprisoned in the palace.

In order to save his life and keep his position, Dou Xian had no choice.

Of course, Empress Dowager Dou will not really give up the excellent descendants of her family.

No matter how much Liu Chang is favored, of course, the queen mother's ruling depends on her relatives and her descendants.

So the Empress Dowager Dou was angry, but she still had to keep Dou Xian.

But Dou Xian is too arrogant in this matter, assassinating the enemy and causing public anger, if he can kill Liu Chang today, who knows if he will not kill others in the future?

Isn't that a capital offense?

The public was angry, and the Empress Dowager Dou had to imprison him in the palace, on the one hand, to teach him, and on the other hand, to protect him.

Although he really wanted to let him out, he couldn't be blatant, so he could only think of something else, otherwise Dou Xian would probably die tragically on the spot as soon as he went out.

Military merit is a good way to redeem death.

The Han generation has the heaviest military merits, and if it is redeemed for death with military merits, it will definitely be feasible.

At that time, it happened that the Southern Xiongnu asked for a crusade against the Northern Xiongnu on the above table, so Dou Xian and the Empress Dowager Dou seized this opportunity to prepare for the Northern Xiongnu to prepare for the Northern Xiongnu and let Dou Xian obtain military merits to hedge against the capital crime.

After this news appeared, the Eastern Han court had a fierce debate on whether to attack the Northern Xiongnu, and there were many people who opposed it.

In that environment, the Xiongnu had long since lost the glorious period of controlling 500,000 people in their heyday.

At that time, the Xiongnu had been divided into the Northern and Southern Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu took refuge in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu continued to stay in the desert, its population was greatly reduced, and its power declined greatly.

It can be said that from an economic, military or political point of view, the Northern Xiongnu and the Eastern Han Empire at that time were no longer in the same weight class at all.

The blow of the Eastern Han government army to the Northern Xiongnu was like a strong adult beating a bear child, and the Northern Xiongnu had almost no possibility of fighting the Eastern Han Empire.

In this context, Shangshu Song Yi strongly opposed Dou Xian's Northern Expedition.

He believed that the Northern Xiongnu had declined, and was not the opponent of the Eastern Han government, and that the size of the Southern Xiongnu was not large enough, so it was of great benefit to the Eastern Han government to keep the two sides and antagonize the two sides for a long time, and the grassland forces were divided and fought against each other.

Moreover, Song Yi also noticed the momentum of the gradual rise of the Xianbei tribe at that time, and realized that the existence of the Northern Xiongnu had a certain effect on the Xianbei people.

If the Northern Xiongnu were killed, it would be good that the Eastern Han Dynasty could occupy the grassland, but if it couldn't occupy the grassland, wouldn't it give Xianbei room for development for no reason?

He asked Dou Xian and Empress Dowager Dou whether they had the ability to occupy the grassland and control the grassland, and if not, they would keep the Northern Xiongnu to prevent disasters for the Eastern Han Empire.

That's obviously not.

Dou Xian and Empress Dowager Dou are just fighting to get Dou Xian out of capital crimes, where do they have any long-term strategic vision?

This is a political adventure, not a military strategy.

The Southern Xiongnu left the steppe and did not want to return to the steppe to live a hard life.

The Northern Xiongnu were beaten away again and could not continue to stay in Mobei.

Then the grassland has become a vacuum zone, and the sandpiper and mussels compete for the fisherman's profit, and the final profit must be Xianbei, who has a certain size and a clear leadership core.
