The power of the Bingzhou Army lies in the cavalry. The Bingzhou Army's cavalry is invincible in the plains. Once they enter the Guanzhong Plain, the Sima Army can no longer resist and can only rely on the city to defend.

But the Bingzhou Army also has an ace-level weapon, which is the siege weapon, the catapult. Under the attack of the catapult, almost all the cities have become unprepared cities.

If you can't fight in field battles, you can't defend against the city. Even if Sun Wu and Wu Qi were alive, you wouldn't be able to fight. Sun Tzu's Art of War focused on strategy, but in the face of absolute strength, any strategy is a bliss. The Bingzhou Army does not even need to pay attention to any attack strategy. It will sweep and crush all the way, killing gods, and destroying Buddhas. It is difficult for Sima Army to have a way to resist.

It is no wonder that Sima Shi has always been hard to win since he fought with Cao Liang. After all, Cao Liang's crushing power alone is enough to suppress Sima's army.

Although Simalun once won a small victory in Ku County and annihilated tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops, such losses could not shake Cao Liang's roots at all. Instead, they reminded Cao Liang that Simalun could only use such a method once at most. Once Cao Liang was prepared, Simalun would never have the chance to bite him.

How to defend the North has always been a matter of Simalun racking his brains. Even if the defense on the East Line is done well, once the North Line is lost, all efforts will be wasted. Therefore, he must formulate a North Line defense plan, and this plan must be used as a top-notch one.

Simalun studied the terrain of the north. Only by restraining the mobility of the Bingzhou Army can they have a chance to win. The biggest feature here is that the ravines are crisscrossing, the roads are winding, and they look like sheep's intestines. They often look across the mountains, but they don't know how many miles they have to walk. As the saying goes, the horses are dead when they look at the mountains.

Such terrain has a great effect on the cavalry. If the Sima army can set up defenses in this area and block the Bingzhou cavalry, there is still a high probability that the Bingzhou army will be blocked north of the Guanzhong Plain.

The only disadvantageous condition is that this area is relatively vast, spreading from Linjin Pass in the east to the Yellow River Ferry in Jincheng County in the west, and Sima's army has great defensive pressure.

Moreover, the Sima army has lost a lot of generals, such as Hu Zun, Chen Tai, Chen Qian, Wang Qi, Sima Fu, Sima Wang, Sima Yong, etc. The Sima army has withered its stars and there are not many people available. The defense of the northern land is not a loyal and effective person, so Sima Lun discussed it with Sima Shi and decided to let Sima Zhao, Sima Yi and Sima Liang lead troops to garrison Fengyi County, Beidi County and Anding County respectively.

When the war was fought, the father and son were in the battle, at the critical moment, Sima Lun still felt that his brothers were more trustworthy. With them to guard the three counties in the northern region, there would be no worries in Guanzhong.

However, Sima Lun was still a little worried, that is, the three counties in the northern region bordered the Qianghu, and the conditions were a bit difficult. All the princes of the Sima family were rich and fed with each other. They had grown up in a gentle and prosperous country since childhood. If Sima Lun directly gave them orders to guard the border counties, would they feel derogatory?

So Sima Lun thought about it and thought it would be better to discuss this matter with Sima Shi. It would be more appropriate for Sima Shi to send them.

Although Sima Shi has now abdicated and become the Grand Tutor, Sima Lun has basically let go of the matters in the court, but Sima Shi really can't stand by and watch the matters that are related to his own internal affairs.

At the same time, Sima Shi also understood Sima Lun's approach. After all, Sima Lun had just taken office and there were still some conflicts with his brothers. Sima Lun could easily order ministers and generals in the court, but for these brothers, he could not give orders directly.

However, Sima Shi was quite appreciating some of the measures and measures adopted after Sima Lun took office. Sima Lun's choice of employment was really impeccable. He used his talents and used everything. Sima Lun even had no selfish intentions, nor did he value the way of excluding dissidents. Everything started from the overall situation, which was very commendable.

When it comes to selfishness, few people can do selflessness without profit. After all, everyone has preferences and dislikes, and has similar and distant relationships. The so-called talent-only promotion is mostly superficial. In this world, people are concerned about human nature. After Sima Lun took office, the most people consider the interests of the Sima family. Those who promote and reuse are also people with abilities and are the most preferred in each position. Sima Shi is very satisfied with this.

Many old ministers in the previous dynasty thought that Sima Lun was too young to take on major responsibilities. After all, a young man could not be mature and steadfast. If he acted recklessly, it would probably bring disaster to the Sima family.

However, now it seems that this kind of worry seems to be redundant. Although Sima Lun is young, he is extremely mature and steady, acts without any hesitation, and handles military and political affairs in an orderly manner. He does have Sima Yi's style, which is very convincing.

Now the old ministers in the court's attitude towards Sima Lun has also changed drastically, from previous suspicion to firm support. The only thing they can't handle is probably a group of brothers from their own family.

As the descendants of the Sima family, perhaps they feel that they all have the right to inherit. At least Sima Lun is qualified to succeed the throne, so they are also qualified. Even for Sima Zhao and Sima Gan, they are brothers of Sima Shi's mother and a brother of Sima Yi's wife Zhang Chunhua. They are the legitimate sons of 800 years old. Compared with Sima Lun, the youngest brother of the illegitimate son, they are unknown. Why is Sima Lun qualified to inherit the great cause, but they are on the sidelines' fate.

Before Sima Yi died, he appointed Sima Lun to take over the class of Sima Shima. Is it because Sima Lun was born by Bai Lingjun? Bai Lingjun was deeply favored by Sima Yi and loved the house and the mistress. Naturally, the son she gave birth to was also liked by Sima Yi.

In fact, any superior will only find an heir before his death. Sima Yi is very contrary to common sense. Since he chose Sima Shi to inherit the throne, he just appointed Sima Lun to take over Sima Shi's squad. This is really an act that disappoints the rest of his sons.

Sima Shi is the eldest son, and he will succeed the throne. The others have no complaints, but what is Sima Lun's identity? Why can he be above other heirs?

If Sima Shi had been in power, the other brothers would definitely not have any complaints, but now Sima Shi suddenly gave way to Sima Lun, it is really hard to say.
