Cao Wei Yumai raised the flag in Weixing County, for the central Jin State, there was no choice: troops must be sent to suppress it!

Jin and Wu are not Ji Han ruled by the traverser. The rulers of both countries did not consider the common people to be the support of the state, nor did they recognize the power of the mud legs. Therefore, when Guan Yili overrode public opinion, six years ago, he took the opportunity of investigating and punishing corrupt officials to send envoys to carry out propaganda in various major counties in Jihan and report on major events at home and abroad. The rulers of both countries despised and ridiculed his actions: in the end, he was a lowly embryo from a jujube dealer, and he did not understand etiquette at all. actually wanted to reason with the mud legs.

But in this situation, Sima Yan realized that this preaching was actually beneficial.

For Guan Yi, due to the implementation of large-scale propaganda, the right of public opinion in Ji Han does not belong to the family, but to the Great Sima Mansion. Regarding this incident of Cao Wei's raising of the flag, Guan Yi can admit to the people of Yongliangyi Sanzhou generously: Yes, Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty in the past, but now we support Cao Wei's remnant line as king. Why, here and there. Our biggest enemy now is the Jin Kingdom, and the only one who can threaten the survival of our Han Dynasty is the Jin Kingdom. Whoever can cause trouble to the Jin Kingdom, we will support whomever we want. Otherwise, wait for the Jin Kingdom to accumulate the strength to destroy us? The Jin Kingdom wiped out the Han Dynasty, what good are you ordinary people? The policy of 30 taxes and one has become the upper limit of 50 mu of taxation, the calculation and oral endowment of minors will be increased, and corrupt officials and local tyrants and inferior gentry will come to oppress you...... So, we can't let the Jin Kingdom destroy us, we have to keep making trouble for the Jin Kingdom.

After four or five years of unremitting propaganda in such a set of propaganda, at least the people of Yizhou have long had a blind obedience to Da Sima Mansion. And the Jin Kingdom was completely demonized. Therefore, this time, the Ji Han government changed its previous direction of describing Cao Wei as a heinous usurper and thief, and instead publicly recognized the Wei kingdom first. The people of Ji Han did not find it difficult to accept at all.

As for the Ji Han government, there must be some officials with ulterior motives, or nerds who are stupid and stupid, or scold Guan Yi for being unprincipled and bottomless. But their voice, who cares? And how many people can hear it?

But when the same problem comes to the Jin Kingdom, it is completely different.

The people of the Jin Kingdom were only responsible for plowing the fields and paying taxes to protect the livestock of the old men who were drunk and dying. They could not understand human speech, and they could not speak. So there will be no opinion on anything either.

Those who can be called human can only be the scholars and doctors of the Jin Kingdom.

And there are three kinds of scholars in the Jin Kingdom.

First, if you have nothing to eat, you can talk about it when you are free. Speaking of which, when Li Mi went to Luoyang as an envoy, he talked for a while about "no matter how expensive it is". At this time, the celebrities who talked about it were all biased towards nobility - they didn't talk about practice, and those who talked about practice were sluts. So, it's none of our business whether Cao Wei raises the flag or not? Vulgar! Let's choose the topic of today's discussion.

Second, a hypocrite who opens his mouth to be loyal and filial, and keeps his mouth shut. These people shouted and shouted the most after hearing Cao Wei raise the flag.

Third, pragmatists. Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Du Pre, Ma Long and others are. In the eyes of these people, Cao Yi is not called the king, and he can only entrench in the three counties of Shangyong. Because the mountains there are undulating, it is difficult for Cao Yi not to call the king Jin Kingdom to be exterminated. Also because of the barren land and poor people, Cao Yi couldn't fight even if he was called king. So, it's best to ignore him - it's only been a year since the country's defeat in Yongliang, and we still have a lot of business to do!

And this group of pragmatists now controls the administrative, financial, military, and even intelligence powers of the Jin Empire. So, although the group of hypocrites shouted loudly, it was not too difficult to suppress this group of guys alone.

It's a pity that the difference between the Jin Kingdom and many dynasties is that his clan is very powerful!

In the big battles the year before last and last year, because Sima Wang's blunt troops did not move forward, the fighter plane was delayed, and because of Sima Liang's indiscriminate command, Xiangyang was lost. So at that time, Sima Yan recalled all the princes sitting in the local area in one go, and the clans did not dare to say anything: at that time, they were also afraid that if they failed everywhere on the battlefield, what would happen if the Jin Kingdom was destroyed all at once.

But now that a year has passed, the clans with a large amount of territory and population are not satisfied: what's going on, is this country surnamed Sima or surnamed Niu? How can we, the graceful and talented clansmen, stand aside for a long time?

As soon as the news of Cao Wei's flag raising incident spread, the clansmen, especially the young people in the clan, were all excited: send troops! Rebel! It is not only a responsibility that must be fulfilled as a member of the Sima family, but also a good time to seize the army and take power!

Headed by Sima Lun, King of Zhao, King Yiyang, King Runan, King of Pingyuan, King Langya, etc., dozens of princes collectively wrote to ask the court to launch a large army to crusade against rebellion, otherwise it could not show the integrity of the Jin Empire. Such a strong pressure easily destroyed all the efforts of Pei Xiu and the others to suppress this matter.

Therefore, at the great court meeting held immediately afterwards, the question of whether or not to send troops was not discussed at all.

"Your Majesty, the rebellious Cao Yi absconded from Yecheng, but the ministers were not strictly supervised. Therefore, the minister felt a heavy responsibility and was willing to make meritorious contributions. Please give your majesty 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the minister will go to Shangyong to capture the rebellion and hand it over to your majesty! ”

As Sima Yi's youngest son, Sima Lun didn't need to bear too many responsibilities in order to support the Sima family in the future like his elder brother did when he was a child. In addition, when he was growing up, Sima Yi's health had completely collapsed, and he didn't have much energy to educate him. So this Zhao Wangye's personality has always been very frivolous. This time, under the pretext of his own incompetence, he directly asked his nephew for the command.

"King Zhao, stop talking." What kind of ninth uncle is himself, Sima Yan, who has been frustrated since he ascended the throne, actually knows very well in his heart. He wouldn't let this uncle be the commander anyway. However, he was also clear about the clan's desire to regain military power. Therefore, at this time, he rarely opened his mouth to Sima You.

"King Qi is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, who is suitable to command the troops this time? Is there a candidate for King Qi? ”

"Your Majesty, Wei rebelling to raise the flag is a major event that affects the country. The minister is willing to personally lead the troops. ”

"Eh, the King of Qi is in Luoyang to assist me in handling state affairs, and I can't leave the King of Qi for a moment. Therefore, the matter of King Qi personally taking command should not be talked about anymore. ”

Hey, my brother still seems to be wary of himself. But apart from himself, who else in this Sima family is suitable for commanding troops?

Sima Fu? The old man is already 90 years old, and he will stay at home every day and wait for death, and he will not be able to go to court. Sima Wang? This person has also been in extremely bad health in recent years, and standing in the court at this time is just one breath more than a dead man. How to go into battle?

But apart from these two, the Sima family really has nothing to fight! Comparatively speaking, Sima You has more confidence in himself: I know that I am not good at military affairs, and if I come to lead the troops, I will find a general to be my deputy, and then provide him with good logistics support. If I go, it's better than those stupid princes who think very highly of themselves but don't know anything about soldiers and command blindly!

However, Sima You is also very clear in his heart: first, the backlash of the clan to regain power is so strong, and this counterinsurgency is the so-called struggle for the country's capital. Therefore, the candidate for commander must have the surname Sima no matter what. Second, Sima Yan also refused to send Sima Lun, the king of Zhao. At this time, letting yourself come out to recommend candidates is actually to let yourself offend Sima Lun.

With a long sigh, Sima You bowed to Sima Yan: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin, to be the commander of the rebellion." ”

As soon as these words came out, a buzzing discussion immediately sounded in the court.

Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin, is the seventh son of Sima Yi. This prince's mother is Sima Yi's favorite concubine, Mrs. Fu. He was a child prodigy when he was a child, and he was very early in his wisdom. When he grew up, because the Sima family had already controlled the power of Cao Wei, he also had many positions. He also held many military positions. But these military positions are basically fictitious titles in inland states and counties, and in general, he has never been on the real battlefield.

In fact, it was mainly the time-travelers who changed history. This Sima Jun still has certain military merits in the historical plane: the bald Xianbei rebellion was suppressed for the first time, and it was Wen Yang who took action. And the one who sheltered him from the wind and rain behind Wen Yang was this Sima Jun. In the "Book of Jin" repaired in the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling criticized the Western Jin Dynasty clan for a while, and only recognized three people, including Sima Jun.

All in all, this prince has an excellent reputation, but he lacks practical experience. So everyone's recommendation of Sima You is a little uncertain.

"Hehehe, King Qi can always share my worries. So, Uncle Seven, may take on this role? ”

"The minister is willing to serve His Majesty and go to Shangyong to crusade against rebellion. It's just that although the minister has held many military positions over the years, he has never really been on the battlefield. Therefore, I also ask Your Majesty to pull out an old general and plan for the minister's counselor. ”

"Well, Uncle Seven is good at that. So, my ministers, do you have the right person to recommend? ”
