Ancient rites, the Son of Heaven was buried on the seventh day and buried in July; The princes were buried on the fifth day and in May.

The Son of Heaven will not hold a funeral now, but will stop in a palace and wait for a few months to be buried.

Therefore, Sima Yue does not need to devote much energy to the affairs of the Son of Heaven now. What he worries about is more about the mess in Hebei.

Sima Teng, the king of Dongyan, had just been renamed King Xincai by the new monarch, the governor of the division, and the military of the two states of Hebei, but this did not have the effect of "rushing to joy" or "changing luck". On the contrary, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The attitude of the Hebei people towards Sima Yue and his family is subtle.

There are people who are enthusiastic about fame and fortune and support.

Someone is not so zealous and neutral.

There were also those who opposed Sima Yue and provided money, food, weapons and even soldiers to the rebels.

The Jisang forces under the banner of the Gongshi Domain are developing rapidly, and they are already approaching Yecheng.

This put a lot of pressure on Sima Yue.

He had a hunch that such a big piece of fat meat in Jizhou would soon leave him. At this time, something must be done. Moreover, one's own position must not be chaotic, and there must be no internal strife.

The main pressure of infighting came from the courtiers and the Forbidden Army.

At this time, his envoys frequently shuttled through the mansions of the great families, ministers, and generals of the forbidden army—of course, some of them went south to Liang County......

The people who came were Pan Tao and Yu Liang, who were on the tenth day of April and had the privilege of visiting the second cavalry charge training.

Compared to the one ten days ago, this time the Silver Spear soldiers were much calmer, and the panic and mistakes when adjusting the formation were much reduced, and the speed was faster.

We constantly look for problems, solve problems, and then through high-intensity training, let the officers and soldiers form conditioned reflexes. In the future, when you go to the battlefield, you will be able to greatly increase your chances of victory.

The Yamen Army also followed the drill, and the overall performance was slightly better than that of the Silver Spear Army, after all, their average military age was slightly longer, and there were more veterans with combat experience.

After reading it, the two followed Shao Xun up the mountain to meet the queen.

After the first emperor's great trip, Taichang Ding's nickname was "Hui", which was for the filial piety of the emperor. Therefore, the new monarch issued an edict to respect the sheep and sacrifice her face as "Queen Hui" - she is the imperial sister-in-law, and she obviously cannot be the queen mother, which is also one of the reasons why she was in a hurry to let King Qinghe ascend the throne.

Pan Tao first read out the edict of the Son of Heaven in front of everyone.

After the sheep thanked him, he stood up with a relaxed face.

The Son of Heaven recognized her identity, ordered her to live in Guangcheng Palace, and gave utensils, palace people, and a number of guards to serve in Guangcheng Palace.

To some extent, Imagami confirmed the status of Gwangseong Palace as an imperial palace. If possible, further construction may be carried out without the risk of stoppage, unless force majeure occurs.

"The soldiers trained by the general are quite disciplined and magnanimous, but I don't know what will happen if they really go to the battlefield." Pan, Yu, and Shao walked out of the main hall and sat in a viewing pavilion on the top of the mountain. ”

yes, the requirements for qualification are really low. In the face of cavalry group charges, if you can stand your ground, you can pass if you don't break up on the spot.

This is the reality today.

The level of productivity is low, and there are a large number of strong men, and as soon as they go into battle, they are naturally used by the cavalry to brush up their achievements.

"Actually, many battalions of the forbidden army can also do this." Pan Tao continued: "In the Silver Spear Army, there are a lot of new pawns, right? If you can practice well for more than a year, you will definitely be able to go further. ”

Shao Xun thanked him.

Pan Tao reminded him not to be arrogant.

The forbidden army still has some old foundations, most of them are veterans of the original Luoyang Chinese Army, and their military quality exceeds that of the veterans of the Silver Spear Army, which is similar to the Long Sword Army, but there are always people above who are fooling around, causing them to not be able to exert their strength.

Shao Xun has led the forbidden army to fight many times, and he also covets these veterans. But he can't afford it now, so he can only give up.

"The Silver Spear Army still needs to see blood." Pan Tao said again.

"The first building has killed Xianbei in Chang'an, and it can be regarded as seeing blood." Shao Xun said: "The rest of the buildings, who have suppressed bandits in Bears Ears Mountain, are not strangers to fighting. ”

"Jun is good at the battle array, and when you know that the bandits and the array are not the same thing at all." Pan Tao said.

"Pan Shilang is so eloquent." Shao Xun smiled: "Say, what does Taifu want me to do?" ”

"Let you go to Hebei, will you go?"

"Is there a fate?"

"Do you want to go?"

"It's complicated, and you can't leave for a while."

"Doesn't that mean you don't want to go?" Pan Tao smiled and said, "Taifu may be going out of the town." ”

Shao Xun's heart moved, and he asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Naturally, it's Xuchang, avoid Luoyang, a place of right and wrong." Pan Tao said.

"It's terrible." Shao Xun pretended to sigh.

He couldn't figure out why Sima Yue took this step, but now it was all over, and he had to leave Luoyang.

Maybe he still has a plan to come back after avoiding the limelight for a while, but the world is changing, how can everything go his way?

"Xuchang's location is critical." Pan Tao said: "Located in the east of Luoyang, after leaving the town, the east, west, north and south can echo, and you can directly lead Yuzhou, which is not a bad choice." ”

If there is a choice, Sima Yue will definitely continue to stay in Luoyang and not go to Xuchang.

However, the matter has come to this point, there is no good way, and on the grounds of quelling the rebellion, leaving Luoyang temporarily is the best choice.

Moreover, if Sima Yue is in Luoyang, his control over Xuzhou will be weakened - he will not fully trust Pei Dun and Sima Rui.

The establishment of a hegemon in Xuchang can also control the situation remotely through his political ally Wang Yan.

If this doesn't work, Sima Teng (Jizhou), Liu Kun (Bingzhou), Sima Mo (Guanzhong), Sima Luo (Jingzhou) and Yuzhou, which is directly led by Sima Yue, surrounded Luoyang from four directions, can always have some effect, right?

In short, Sima Yue made all the arrangements, and then put his energy into the military.

Yes, "President Yue" is going online again, and he will personally manipulate the war in Hebei and Qingzhou.

Liu Bogen was killed, Wang Mi got up twice, killed two Taishou in a row, not only raging in Qingzhou, but also attacking Xuzhou.

Qingzhou Sima Luo patted his ass and left, Xuzhou Sima Rui and Wang Dao had no way to take Wang Mi, and the two states were in turmoil.

In the end, it was the governor of Yanzhou and Shi Gou Xi who sent troops to the east, defeated Wang Mi in one fell swoop, and let General Wang Da, who had started a business for the second time, ride away alone, and after cleaning up some of the remnants, he hibernate again.

After Wang Mi was pressed down, Ji Sang raised his head again.

As a last resort, Gou Xi, the captain of the firefighting team, divided his troops to the north, and after Sima Yue was in place, he marched into Hebei and severely suppressed it.

The third group of rebels, Chen Min, Liu Bogen, and Gongshi Fan were all dead, and they were still spinning and extinguishing, unable to resist the encirclement and suppression army of the Jin court.

But through the details, it can be seen that Jin Ting's encirclement and suppression has a feeling of taking care of one and losing the other, pressing this end and getting up that end, tired of parrying. Moreover, many of the generals of the official army who originally suppressed the rebellion became traitors, and those who did not become traitors also became warlords, which further sounded the death knell for the Jin court.

"Taifu is really seriously considering letting you go north." After going around in a circle, the topic returned to the original point, only to hear Pan Tao say: "Go to Hanoi and Ji County first, and then go to Hebei, or go north to Merge Zhou." Liu Yuan is also attacking the city, the imperial army has failed one after another, and continues to retreat, and now there is only Jinyang left, which is very critical. ”

"There are less than 20,000 households in the state." Yu Liang interjected next to him.

Shao Xun nodded silently.

This is Sima Teng's pot.

The great drought and locust plague came one after another, Sima Teng did not resume production, but continued to mess around, and when he left, he took away a large number of soldiers and civilians (begging army), and Bingzhou can be said to be completely paralyzed.

20,000 households, that's just 100,000 people. Even if you count the hidden households, how many can there be?

On the contrary, there were 500,000 Xiongnu in the local area, as well as miscellaneous tribes such as the Qianren, and I heard that Liu Yuan was still luring tribes south on the grassland, and the local Hu-Han population ratio was at least 3:1, and it may have reached 4:1.

Liu Kun can only barely protect himself in Jinyang, and he is unable to expand externally.

"Pan Shilang, how is Xinjun doing these days?" Shao Xun asked.

"On the second day of his ascension to the throne, I began to pay attention to my affairs." Pan Tao was a little dazed, a little surprised, and a little sneered when he said this: "The ministers all said that since Emperor Wu, he has finally ushered in a holy lord. Therefore, the crowd is excited, and the momentum is getting louder. ”

A puppet supported by Sima Yue, who has just ascended the throne, can't wait to be pro-government, is it so urgent? Or are you sure that the first emperor has just died, and you are sure that you will be fine?

But he did get there.

Pay attention to political affairs first, express his desire to be pro-government, and at the same time attract loyal ministers to surround him, discuss national affairs, and express opinions Although they are not very clever, they must also be on the horizontal line, so they are recognized by the courtiers, so that everyone is excited - with Emperor Hui as a comparison, no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.

"Xinjun is not so easy to manipulate, he will clash with Taifu sooner or later." Shao Xun quietly put a little conclusion and observed the reactions of the two.

Yu Liang didn't believe it, but Pan Tao believed it for seven points.

"Pan Shilang, did the Taifu invite you to the shogunate?" Shao Xun asked again.

"Or maybe so." Pan Tao said: "This will not yet vacate a place, it may be given to a Sima in the future, why does Xiao Langjun ask this?" ”

"Is the squire really going to be the shogunate?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Pan Tao told the truth.

Shao Xun nodded.

As a member of the Luoyang Shogunate, Pan Tao never officially joined the Sima Yue shogunate, and he has always only had the status of a court official.

Sima Yue should still want to use Pan Tao, but he really can't vacate a place for the time being, and he needs to wait for the internal personnel to be adjusted and take a senior position of Sima or Changshi before Pan Tao can agree.

But even if Pan Tao really went to the Taifu Shogunate, it would not be a big deal.

Smart people never leave just one path for themselves.

"It seems that the expedition is imperative." Shao Xun sighed: "Since Taifu has made conditions, he can't help but give face at this time. However, can you help me delay for a month or two and ask for more money, food, and equipment? The Silver Gun Army drilled frequently, and the accumulated equipment was consumed quickly. ”

"It can still be delayed." After thinking about it, Pan Tao said: "If Yecheng is too anxious, there is really no way to delay." ”

"If I don't go to Taiyuan, I won't be able to open up any situation, on the contrary, I will lose my troops and lose my generals." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "Can you meet the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Try your best." Pan Tao replied.

Shao Xun hurriedly thanked him.

As a member of the disbanded "Luoyang Left-behind Group", Pan Tao is inclined to him, but people also have their own interests to consider, and it is impossible to be completely inclined to him, and it is already interesting to be able to help within the scope of his ability.

Yu Liang didn't say anything from beginning to end.

On this occasion, there is really no room for a small role like him to interject, so he can only learn and appreciate it silently.

This rare experience is good for him, and how much he can learn depends on his understanding.
