Chapter 1016: Return to Jizhou

There are a total of three governors on the Jizhou front, one is the governor, two deputy governors, within a month, the Jin army lost two governors one after another, Sima Yan also knows that Qingzhou Thorn Shi Malone alone is not enough to take on the position of rebelling against the governor, and now the situation of the Jin State north of the Yellow River has become dangerous, if it is not a powerful person, it is not enough to take on this important task. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But who has the power to turn the tide? There are indeed not many such candidates, and the candidates within the clan were first excluded by Sima Yan. I think that at the beginning, the Sima family was also full of talents, the stars were shining, and there were many people who could lead the troops to the battle, not to mention Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and the three fathers and sons, just Sima Fu, Sima Wang, Sima Liang, and Sima Jun, who could lead the army and conquer the world.

However, with the death of Sima Fu, Sima Wang, Sima Liang, Sima Jun and others were killed or captured on the front line, and the talents that could be reused within the Sima family were already numerous, and Sima Yan had to set his sights on the foreign ministers.

Sima Yan's most trusted minister is naturally Jia Chong, and Sima Yan does have some thoughts about transferring Jia Chong to be the governor of the rebellious capital, but when he just expressed this meaning to Jia Chong, Jia Chong's face suddenly turned white.

Above the court, playing with power, for Jia Chong, this is what he is good at, as for marching and fighting, Jia Chong does not dare to act as a big-tailed wolf, understand is understand, if you don't understand, your net worth and life are only tied to this, lend Jia Chong ten guts, he may not have the courage to go to the front line.

So when Sima Yan discussed this matter with him, Jia Chong hurriedly begged for mercy, claiming that he could not hold such a reusable position, and asked Sima Yan to choose another meritocracy.

Sima Yan couldn't help but feel worried, even Jia Chong was unwilling to take responsibility for him, and Sima Yan really didn't know who to send.

The Wei and Jin dynasties, which were once full of talents, suffered internal losses and external friction, and now it has reached the moment when talents are withering, Sima Yan looked around at the ministers in the early dynasty, and no one was up to the task, Sima Yan couldn't help but lament: "There is no one in the court." ”

The ministers all looked at each other. Sima Yan's words of grievance made many people landless, and the imperial court used so much money to support so many idlers, and at a critical juncture, no one could share the worries of the Son of Heaven, so he really responded to a sentence: "What do you want?" ”

No one of the ministers dared to take the initiative to ask Ying to fight, mainly because Liu Yin of Shu was too strong now, and he fought in the land of Hebei and Hebei Prefectures, Sima Jun and Wen Yang were both great generals, and they were buried on the battlefield within a few days.

"The minister recommends one person to be the governor of Jizhou." Just when Sima Yan was discouraged, the next person suddenly stepped forward and said.

Sima Yan suddenly perked up, looked down at it, it turned out to be Taibao Zheng Chong, it was Zheng Chong who recommended it to Wenyang Fenghou to pursue the Hou of Wenyang before, which could be regarded as stabilizing the overall situation of the court, so Sima Yan still had a good impression of Zheng Chong, and said with a smile: "Who is Zheng Aiqing referring to, quickly talk and listen." ”

Zheng Chong bowed his head and said: "The minister recommended the governor of Jingzhou, the prince of the dynasty. Yang Taifu was the governor of Hebei before, Jiurong and Ji, familiar with the military affairs in Jizhou, and the ministers thought that Yang Taifu was the best choice for the governor of Jizhou. ”

Sima Yan was silent, in all fairness, no one can be more suitable for the position of governor of Jizhou than Yanghu, thinking that when he was at war with the Huns, Yanghu led the army to fight Hebei, and made remarkable achievements, Yanghu is more familiar with the geography and military situation of Jizhou, if among the generals of the dynasty, who is more suitable for this position than Yanghu, I am afraid it is really difficult to choose.

The only thing that makes Sima Yan feel faintly worried is the relationship between Yanghu and Liu Yin, why did he remove Yanghu from his post and let Sima Jun replace it, the main reason is that the relationship between Yanghu and Liu Yin is extraordinary, quite ambiguous, Sima Yan repeatedly ordered Yanghu to attack the Shu army in Jizhou, but Yanghu turned a deaf ear, but kept on the table, and asked Sima Yan to suspend the dispatch of troops.

Sima Yan was famous in the Hebei generation with the momentum of breaking the Huns at that time, but regardless of whether his strategy was proper or not, it was a serious violation of Sima Yan's intentions, and it was reasonable to be removed from his post and readjusted.

Later, he was transferred to the governor of Jingzhou, but Yanghu's performance was average, Xiangyang failed to be taken, and Zhonghui's rebellion was not pacified, of course, the main reason was that Zhonghui lured the wolf into the house and took refuge in Jiang Wei of Shu, which eventually led to the deterioration of the situation on the southern front.

However, the existence of Yanghu did not make the situation on the southern front worse, he retreated to Nanyang, blocked the northward advance of the Shu army and the Zhonghui rebels, smashed Jiang Wei and Zhonghui's several attacks on Nanyang, and maintained the situation of the Jin army on the southern front.

What worries Sima Yan is that it is the ambiguous relationship between Yanghu and Liu Yin, as early as when the Xiongnu rebellion was pacified, the two have joined hands many times, and the friendship is extraordinary, if Yanghu returns to Jizhou this time, who can guarantee his loyalty, if he still colludes with Liu Yin and gives the land of Jizhou as a gift, Sima Yan can only cry without tears.

Zheng Chong seemed to see Sima Yan hesitating, and immediately said: "There is no problem with Mrs. Yang's loyalty, and Weichen is willing to guarantee him with his life." ”

Zheng Chong and Yanghu have a good relationship, Zheng Chong's loyalty to Yanghu is very clear, he is definitely not the kind of person who goes to Qin and Chu, so Zheng Chong dares to vouch for him with his life.

Yanghu is the Taifu of the Dynasty, and Zheng Chong is the Taibao of the Dynasty, both of whom are above the Three Princes, and they are all worthy of their words, so the courtiers have stood up and seconded Zheng Chong's recommendation, and they all think that Yanghu is a more suitable candidate.

In this case, Sima Yan had to agree to the appointment of Yanghu as the governor of the rebellion, of course, this is also a helpless move, if Sima Yan has a suitable candidate, he will not consider Yanghu again, but unfortunately, Sima Yan has no such person in his hands at the moment, and it is reasonable to recall Yangzu again. Now that the talents of the Jin State are withering, there are not many generals who can conquer and fight, in addition to Yanghu, there are only a few left of the Annan general Du Pre and the governor of Yuzhou Chen Qian, the governor of Yangzhou Shi Bao, etc., and these people are guarding the frontier, and none of them can be easily mobilized.

Sima Yan quickly ordered someone to write the holy decree, sent Zheng Chong as the minister of the soft mission, and immediately set off to Nanyang to announce the decree. (To be continued.) )
