Chapter 1400 Sima Yong
After consideration, Sima Shi appointed Zhong Hui as the governor of the Central Road Defense Zone, that is, the Yanzhou River Section, and was fully responsible for Yanzhou defense. Sima Zhao was appointed as the governor of the West Road Defense Zone, that is, the Sizhou River Section, and was fully responsible for the defense of Sizhou and Luoyang. Sima Yong was appointed as the governor of the East Road Defense Zone, that is, the Qingzhou River Section, and also served as the governor of the Qingzhou River Section, and was fully responsible for the defense of Qingzhou.
Sima Yong was Sima Fu's eldest son and Sima Wang's elder brother. After Sima Fu died in the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yong inherited the title of Sima Fu. Since his father and brother died at the hands of Cao Liang, Sima Yong has always held a grudge against Cao Liang and often wants to take revenge. After Sima Shi took office, he valued the clan people. Sima Yong became the governor of Xuzhou, and his political achievements were abundant. In addition, he was a mature and steadfast person. Sima Shi leaned him as his arm. This time, he handed over the important task of the Yellow River East Road defense zone to him, which shows Sima Shi's trust in him.
The Sima family is full of people. Sima Shi's grandfather Sima Fang gave birth to eight sons, namely Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, Sima Xun, Sima Jin, Sima Tong, and Sima Min. Since each person has a character Da in his character, people at that time called him "Sima Bada". In Sima Shi's generation, he was even more prosperous and prosperous.
However, the large number of descendants does not mean that they are all wise men. As for the eight Sima Yi brothers, although they are called "Bada", the only ones who can be called capable and talented are Sima Lang, Sima Yi and Sima Fu. The rest have mediocre qualifications and have not seen any outstanding features.
Even if there are not many people among the Sima brothers who can be of great use, Sima Shi was willing to call on his third brother Sima Yichang, but the result of the Battle of Yecheng disappointed him. It was precisely because Sima Yichang lost the chain at the critical moment that the final collapse of the Battle of Jizhou was caused.
So how reliable it is to be a person's ability is. If it is mud, you will never be able to support him.
Within the Sima clan, Sima Fu has always been a good helper for Sima Yi. He has talent and ability. Unfortunately, during the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Fu and Sima Wang and his son both died, which also made the victory of the Sima family somewhat less lustful.
When Sima Yi was alive, he often sighed, and losing Sima Fu would be like losing his arm.
Sima Shi's cousin Sima Yong, who adhered to Sima Fu's ability, was also considered a military genius within the clan. Therefore, Sima Shi dared to make reuse with confidence, and he was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of the defense zone of the eastern section of the Yellow River.
Since Sima Fu and Sima Wang both died at Cao Liang's hands, Sima Yong has always hated Cao Liang to the core, hoping that one day he could kill Cao Liang himself and avenge his father and brother.
When Sima Shi asked him to serve as the governor of Xuzhou, Sima Yong asked him to be transferred to the front line of Jizhou so that he would have the opportunity to face Cao Liang's army and have the opportunity to avenge his revenge.
Sima Shi did not agree. He placed Sima Yong as the governor of Xuzhou just to hone his temperament and train his abilities. After all, a person who is only blinded by hatred cannot do big things. Revenge is small, and the overall situation is the priority. Only when he really has a view of the overall situation can he be of great use.
This time, Sima Yong was transferred to Qingzhou and finally fulfilled his wish. Sima Shi just hoped that he could bear this burden and live up to his hopes.
The Sima family has reached the brink of life and death. If the Yellow River defense line is lost, it is likely that the Sima family will completely disappear. So at this time, it is no longer a matter of taking revenge or not, but whether the Sima family's bloodline can be preserved. Sima Master specially ordered Sima Yong that when he took over as the governor of Qingzhou, he would take a detour to Baima first to meet him. Sima Master wanted to give him face-to-face advice.
Originally, Xuzhou and Qingzhou were two adjacent states. If Sima Yong resigned as the governor of Xuzhou, he could go north to Qingzhou directly. However, Sima Shi asked him to go to Baima, so Sima Yong certainly did not dare to disobey. He immediately set off and rushed from Xuzhou to Yanzhou to meet Sima Shi.
Although Sima Yong was a few years older than Sima Shi, his current status was an existence that he admired. When Sima Shi summoned him, Sima Yong not only did not have any complaints, but instead went on a quick horse to show respect for Sima Shi.
After all, Sima Yong knew very well that the glory of the Sima clan is now all based on Sima Shi. Without Sima Shi’s power, the people of their Sima family are nothing, so respecting Sima Shi is necessary and you must not be slacking off at all.
Sima Yong quickly arrived at the White Horse, and the defense of the middle section of the Yellow River with the White Horse as the center was in full swing. As soon as Sima Yong arrived, he immediately felt the tense atmosphere of war, which was completely different from his in Luoyang and Xuzhou.
After seeing Sima Shi, Sima Yong was shocked. After a battle in Jizhou, Sima Shi, who had originally had a blind eye, was blind now. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the news that Sima Shi was blind was in a state of blockade. Sima Yong came from Xuzhou, so he naturally didn't know about this, which really scared him.
Sima Shi looked calm. If Sima Shi really couldn't get used to it when he was blind, but over time, this kind of darkness has become common for him. Except for the inability to see things, nothing else was affected. After all, there were many people serving Sima Shi, and what he could not see could be seen by others and could convey it to him.
Darkness is terrible, especially when a person is always in a darkness. The feeling of loneliness and helplessness can almost make people collapse. Fortunately, Sima Shi's heart is extremely strong, and he quickly adapted to this darkness and loneliness. The appointment on his shoulders made him have no reason to be decadent. He must be stronger than anyone else.
Sima Shi and Sima Yong talked almost all night. When Sima Yong left the white horse, the sky was already shining with dawn. He kept heading east along the Yellow River and heading straight for Qingzhou.
Perhaps Sima Yong's mentality was relatively relaxed before arriving at the White Horse, but now he could feel the heavy weight on his shoulders when he left the White Horse.
Without experiencing the battlefield personally, not knowing the dangers of the battlefield, not experiencing the war, not knowing the cruelty of the war, Sima Yong clearly felt the pressure of life and death. This pressure was far from what Sima's children who lived in Luoyang were intoxicated by the rich and riches.
