Zhongshu Ling He Chong hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it must not be!" ”

"Why not?" Sima Yue was already quite moved by the Northern Expedition, and when he saw He Chong jumping out to oppose it, he couldn't help frowning, secretly unhappy.

"Your Majesty, soldiers, the great affairs of the country! If you don't make adequate preparations, I'm afraid you will fail! Now although the main army of Zhao is in Liangzhou, Shi Hu is also because of his atrocities, which caused the loss of the people's hearts, and the Han people in the north are all interested in my promotion room. However, Zhao still has spare strength, if my Jin army rushes out, I am afraid that it will lose its troops and lose its generals, waste money and food, and gain nothing! ”

"Lord He's wrong words!"

Yu Bing snorted and said: "At this time, all kinds of conditions are favorable to my Jin Kingdom, and thousands of Han families are looking forward to Wang Shi and saving them from the dire situation!" Like Lord He, when will my Jin Kingdom expel the Tartars and recover the Central Plains? ”

He Chong sneered and said, "Lord Yu, what you said is also biased!" The Central Plains has been in war for a long time, and the Zhao army is strong and strong, and I am afraid that it is not something that our southern soldiers can match. A few years ago, the Zhao army marched south, and our Jin army was defeated so badly, presumably all the princes are obvious to all, right? It's not that I He Chong doesn't want the army of the imperial court to expel the Tartars, overcome the Central Plains, and recover the lost territory of my Han family, but the soldiers, the fierce, we can't joke with the lives of the soldiers! ”

"Profiteering?"

"Why, if the warfighter is not profitable?"

"In the Northern Expedition, even if our Jin army can't recover the Central Plains and expel Hulu, we can take the opportunity to recover the lost territory south of the Yellow River and save thousands of Lishu! Isn't this a blessing to invite heaven, isn't this a miracle for the ages? ”

"Hah!" He Chong glared and said, "Yu Gong's words are ridiculous! In the past, Zu Ti's Northern Expedition almost hit Yecheng and recovered a large area of territory south of the Yellow River, but why couldn't he hold it? In other words, even if this Northern Expedition, our Jin army can drive straight in, attack cities and plunder land, and win a hundred battles, but we have so many troops to hold this huge territory, can we hold these hundreds of cities? No, you can't! ”

"Instead of wasting soldiers and grain in vain, it is better to wait and see what happens!"

"Wait and see? He Chong, I have been in the south for more than 30 years, and I have been watching its changes for more than 30 years! Just watch the changes and take no action, miss the opportunity, how can you stop the Northern Expedition, prevent Wang Shike from recovering the Central Plains, aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner through the ages? ”

"Yu Gongyan is serious."

He Chong said: "Heaven is clear! At this time, the Northern Expedition is really a matter of harm and no benefit, I He Chong resolutely disagrees, you risk the lives of the soldiers like this! ”

"Pedantic!"

Yu Bing blew his beard and glared and said: "The Northern Expedition is related to the country's social affairs and the rise and fall of my Jin family, how can you say nothing?" Besides, even if we can't recover the Central Plains and regain the lost territory, we can force Shi Hu to give up the plan to extinguish the cool and withdraw his troops to the south! ”

"Huh! Yu Gong, after all, you still want to save Liang? I don't know how much gold and silver treasure you received from Zhang Jun, so that you can ask for help for him and his Liangguo like this? ”

"He Chong, what do you mean by this?"

He Chong sneered and said: "Zhang Jun's wolf ambition is already known to passers-by!" Zhang Jun has successively accepted the canonization of my Jin room, Qianzhao, and Xiongnu Zhao, and is the envoy of my Jin room, the governor of the capital, the general, the pastor of Liangzhou, the captain of the Qiang school, and the prince of Xiping; and for the Xiongnu puppet emperor Liu Yao to worship as the pastor of Liangzhou and the king of Liang; He also accepted Shi Hu's canonization of Liangzhou Mu, Lianggong, and Prince Shaobao. It set up the prince and built the palace, which is even more rebellious, and its heart can be punished! ”

Hearing this, Sima Yue nodded and said, "I have also heard a little about this. I heard that Zhang Jun had previously occupied the land of Helong, and his soldiers were strong and strong, and although he was a vassal to my Jin family, he still accepted the canonization of my Jin family, but he did not use the Jin calendar. Its dancing of the Six Hundred Dances, the flag of the leopard's tail, and the bureaucratic mansions set up are all comparable to those of kings, but the names are slightly different. In addition, three counties on the western border of the state were set up as Shazhou, and six counties on the eastern border were set up as Hezhou. The bureaucrats of the two governments are all ministers! ”

"Yes!"

He Chong immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Liangzhou has become a country of its own, nominally the territory of my Jin family, Zhang Jun is called Jin Chen, but in fact, he has long been called a lonely widow in Liangdi, and there is no one in his eyes, which is tantamount to a chaotic minister and thief!" ”

Yu Bing retorted: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jun's actions are indeed shameful, but it may also be a last resort!" Think of the Zhang family, since Zhang Liang for the Liangzhou Assassin History, the fourth generation of rule, open up the territory, promote the power of my Han family, its merits are clear, and its subordinates have not been without self-reliance! ”

"Although Zhang Jun has been called a lonely widow in Liangzhou, his surrender heart has not changed! After he became the king, he still sent envoys to the court every year, worshiped my emperor, and said long live, so although his loyalty is worrying, at least nominally Liangzhou still belongs to the territory of my Jin family! ”

Zhang Jun doesn't know how many times he sent envoys to the court.

At the beginning, during the Jianxing period, the Dunhuang official Geng visited Chang'an, and soon encountered the thief army, could not return, and ran to Hanzhong, so he crossed the river in the east, and went to Kyoto in the second year of Taixing, and repeatedly wrote to the book, saying that Benzhou did not know that the revival was over, and it was advisable to send a messenger to ask to be a guide.

At that time, there was constant civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, and the imperial court agreed to his request and it had not yet been implemented.

At this time, he was appointed to visit the imperial history of the Shouzhi book, worship Zhang Jun as the general of Zhenxi, and the titles of captain, assassin and duke are the same as before, and select 12 people such as Longxi Jialing from the West to be equipped with him.

Geng stayed in Liangzhou for seven years, and because the post road was impassable, he was recalled.

Geng Wan handed the edict to Jia Ling and pretended to be a businessman. When he arrived in Chang'an, he didn't dare to move forward anymore, and it took Xianhe eight years to reach Liangzhou.

Zhang Jun received the edict, sent the governor Wang Feng and others to thank him, and sent Jia Ling back, Shangshu called the minister, but did not use the newly promulgated calendar, or called Jianxing 21 years.

In the ninth year of Xianhe (334), he sent Geng to visit Wang Feng and others to pay tribute to Zhang Jun as a general with a seal letter. Since then, the mission has continued every year.

Later, Zhang Jun sent to join the army to protect Shangshu and said: "The East and the West are not separated, and after many years, they have always been blessed with holy virtue and are concerned about this dynasty. And Jiang and Wu had no news, and the aftermath could not be affected, although they tried to travel long distances, but the allies did not sympathize. ”

"On the day of the edict, there was a mixture of joy and sorrow. Illuminated by the grace of heaven, praised and admired the brilliant and magnanimous, appointed the minister as the general, the governor of Shaanxi, Yong, Qin, Liangzhou military affairs. The beautiful grace is dazzling, and the appointment of Jiamei is prominent, and the heart is afraid. ”

"The minister wants that His Majesty was born with excellence and extraordinary intelligence since childhood, inherited the Jin family, suffered misfortune, wandered to Wu and Chu, the temple has the sorrow of the poem "Huang Li", the mausoleum has the pain of being destroyed, the whole world sighs, and all those who have breath are sad."

"The minister governs a region, has the duty of punishment and killing, and the remote folk customs are rough in the distance, and the jurisdiction covers Qin and Long. After the death of Shi Le and Li Xiong, the people hoped that the fate of Shi Hu and Li Qi would only last for a day or two, but they had usurped and inherited the rebellious people, and they had been fierce and cruel for many years. The East and the West are far apart, and the solidarity is incompatible, so the peach insects fly wildly, and the four are arrogant......"

In the end, after a fierce debate, the five auxiliary ministers, Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, and Yu Bing, the supervisor of the Zhongshu, all expressed their approval of the Northern Expedition.

Emperor Sima Yue was undoubtedly lucky, and King Wuling and King Huiji were his uncles, both eager to make contributions and recover the Central Plains. And Yu Bing is a northerner, and he has always been excluded by the scholars in the south, so he naturally wants the imperial court to expel Hu Lu and restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family.

"Uncle Wang, Yu Zhongshu, I don't know who you think should be the general and how many troops should be sent in this Northern Expedition?"

Yu Bing, Sima Yu and the others looked at each other, and in the end, Sima Yu said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Sima Weichang can be the general who leads the army." ”

"Sima Weichang?" Sima Yue was stunned.

Sima Yue obviously didn't know much about Sima Weichang.

Sima Yu said: "Your Majesty, Sima Weichang is Sima Xun, and he is the same clan as us. Sima Xun, whose name is Weichang, was a native of Wen County, Hanoi (now Wen County, Henan), who was the adopted son of the Xiongnu Zhao general Linghu Ni, claiming to be the great-great-grandson of Sima Sui, the younger brother of Emperor Sima Yi of Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty, the great-grandson of Sima Sui, the champion general and King Hui of Jinan, and the son of Sima Qian, the Taishou of Luoyang. ”

Well, this lineage is long enough, so Sima Yue is confused.

Speaking of which, Sima Yue then remembered Sima Xun. In the sixth year of Xianhe (331), Sima Xun returned to Jiankang and paid homage to the servant and the assassin of Liangzhou.

"Sima Xun really has the ability to lead troops into battle?" Sima Yue expressed his skepticism.

Sima Yu's thoughts, in fact, Sima Yue knows. Since the Jin family crossed to the south, the power of the Jin royal family has been very weak, and the ministers are rampant, not to mention political affairs, that is, there are not many troops who can obey the emperor's dispatch, and the emperor is like a puppet, although he is not at the mercy of others, but he has no real power.

If Sima Yue wants to change the status quo, he must first master the military power and have his own henchmen and generals.

"In the early years of Sima Xun in the Huns, he was a captain of the Xiao cavalry, and made a lot of contributions to the Liu family and Zhao Guoguo, and he was well versed in the art of war. It is the history of Liangzhou's assassination, and he has repeatedly sent troops to suppress thieves and keep one side peaceful. With this person as a general, His Majesty can rest assured. Besides, this Northern Expedition only made Shi Hu give up the idea of extinguishing Liang, not really to recover the lost territory, so it was more than enough to disturb the border of Zhao with Sima Xun's ability. ”

"Good!"
