Sima Yi was grabbed by Sima Lang and sat up again, continued to stuff the dried fruit into his mouth, and chewed it while saying, "As far as I know, Hebei has completely defeated the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and the Xianbei has been beaten so hard that he dared not offend the border. Except for Gongsun Du, Hebei is no longer boundless, and Gongsun Du doesn't even dare to come out of Liaodong. Like a hibernating frog, sooner or later he will be taken out of the cave.

So where will the next step for Hebei's 200,000 soldiers and horses?

However, there are three directions: Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Guanzhong.

Liu Bei in Xuzhou was a relative of the Han Dynasty and a former subordinate of Ma Qiang. Cao Gong had a feud with Hebei in the matter of serving the king. When the fight started, Ren Jun would take over the ability to farm and fight. If it was not enough, he would take over the country.

Sima Lang felt funny when he heard the second brother talking on the bed and said, "Don't you know that Hebei has already arranged heavy troops in Tongguan? It is said that the old general Huangfu has vowed to restore Chang'an within two years."

"It's because of this that I said that Hebei wants to beat Cao Cao. Brother, think about it, is there an old man from Hebei in Tongguan?"

Sima Lang thought about it and found that there was no general in the Hebei Army in Tongguan, and they were all new recruits.

"This is a trick. Hebei's real goal is Yanzhou, and the reasons for sending troops are ready-made."

“What’s the reason?”

"Luoyang! The court is going to prepare to return the capital to Luoyang. Do you think Cao Cao gave up Henan or not?"

Hiss ~

Sima Lang discovered that if according to Sima Yi, Luoyang would be the core point of competition for the next battle.

And my father is going to be a Luoyang ruling. Didn’t he hit the gun?

"Second brother, have you ever said these words to your father?"

"What are you saying~ I'm so troublesome. We brothers talked to each other and passed by. Well, brother, I'm a little tired of reading books. Can you keep me quiet for a while?" Sima Yi said and slid down and turned into a lying position.

Sima Lang closed his eyes and fell asleep, stomped his feet in anger, but had no choice but to run to Sima Fang to repeat Sima Yi's judgment just now.

After hearing this, Sima Fang stroking his finger and thinking for a while, shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, my son, there are eight barriers in Luoyang, and Cao Gong asked Xiahou Yuan to guard Henan again to prevent Hebei.

Even if Hebei really invades, Yingchuan and Chenliu can come to rescue him, what's the worry about?"

Sima Lang thought about it, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The child was worried about his father's safety, but he was scared by his second brother."

Sima Fang shook his head and said, "Zhongda is smart, but he has too little experience. In a while, he should find him an errand."

Sima Lang returned to Sima Yi's room. Sima Yi opened his eyes slightly and saw him coming in, and said, "My father must have said no need to worry. With Xiahou Yuan here, it must be okay?"

What Sima Lang was supposed to say was retorted by Sima Yi, and he didn't know what to say.

"Hey~ I just said it to my father and said it was useless. It's just for me, I'd better go to bed."

"Zhongda, my father said, after a while, I will find you an errand. What do you want to do?"

"No! Don't!"

As soon as he heard that he wanted to do something, Sima Yi sat up and hurriedly shouted, "Brother, I can do anything, but I can't do work. Don't help me find errands."

What are you talking about!

Sima Lang rolled his eyes and almost turned to the sky.

"I~ I just want to sleep like this for a lifetime, and it's better to sleep for a lifetime~"

Sima Lang looked at the lazy Sima Yi and shook his head helplessly.

After Sima Lang left, Sima Yi murmured in a low voice, "I, Sima Zhongda, don't be a clerk. If I don't make a sound, I will make a big splash!"

In a chaotic world, where can young heroes not want to take the opportunity to achieve great achievements?

It's just that the timing is wrong.

——Jinyang

Time flies fast.

In the blink of an eye, it was the autumn harvest season, and the court set out again on the way to Youzhou.

But two officials were left behind by Ma Qiang.

One is Lu Jun, the new head of the Lu family who received a letter from Wujun.

After receiving the letter, he learned that his father was killed and cried. The ministers of the court were grateful for Lu Kang's achievements in the past and were ready to give him a title of doctor, but Ma Qiang felt that this was an opportunity to intervene in Yangzhou.

Therefore, Ma Qiang disagreed with the public opinion at the court meeting and represented Lu Jun as the governor of Lujiang County and succeeded Lu Kang.

Lu Jun knew that pies would not fall from the sky, and now that Lujiang has fallen, what is the responsibility of this county magistrate?

But Ma Qiang's words opened up a new world for him.

Ma Qiang said to him, "I know there is an archipelago in the east of Kuaiji, and you can station troops. I want you to go to Qingdao to take down this archipelago with the army and prepare for the court to conquer Yangzhou in the future. Are you willing?"

Of course, Lu Jun also knew about the archipelago on the east side of Kuaiji.

"What the General is talking about Yongdong?"

How could Ma Qiang know what the Zhoushan Islands were called in the Han Dynasty? Yes, um, and said, "It's probably that one, but I don't like the name Yongdong, so I will change it to Zhoushan in the future!

Although the world is chaotic, peace will sooner or later return to peace. There is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou. I am worried that in the future, some people will hope to rule the river when the imperial army goes south.

Your Lu family is one of the four major clans in Wujun, and Duke Ji Ning died for the court. I wonder if you dare to defend the Han territory alone overseas. If there is a thief army in Yangzhou who refuses to obey the king's orders, they will fight with the court's troops and horses together!"

Lu Jun thought in his heart that Ma Qiang was worried that Liu Yao, the current governor of Yangzhou, would be completely defeated by Yuan Shu, so he needed to arrange a guerrilla army in Yangzhou.

If Ma Qiang wanted Lu Jun to lead his troops to fight on land, Lu Jun really didn't dare, but Ma Qiang wanted him to seize the archipelago on the sea and would ask the Qingzhou naval army to help him, and he immediately had an idea.

Because as Ma Qiang said, the world will sooner or later return to peace. Now the Lu family has suffered heavy damage. If they cannot make new achievements, after the court restores Yangzhou, the status of the four major tribes of the Lu family, the Wu County, will probably be lost.

As for Ma Qiang's Qing dividing of land and imperial examinations and other acts of suppressing the gentry, Lu Jun didn't care.

First of all, Yangzhou has many lands and sparsely populated areas, which is equivalent to the total population of Fujian and Yuzhang County in later generations when it was over 500,000 when it was over 400,000.

Although the Wu County where the Lu family is located has a larger population, it is probably less than 600,000 now. Wu County includes the essence of Jiangnan, such as Hangzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Huzhou, and Zhenjiang in later generations.

Divide the land? You can divide it! As long as I am allowed to open the land, I will open as much as you divide it!

Secondly, Lu Jun, who had been in Jinyang for a while, knew how strong Hebei's combat power was. He believed that it was only a matter of time before the Hebei court restored the world. Instead of worrying about the imperial examination, it would be better to make more contributions and take a good position first.

If you are no longer able to take the imperial examinations, you can’t dismiss all the existing officials, right?

In addition, he was worried that if he did not agree to Ma Qiang, Lu would be settled by Qiu Hou in the future, so Lu Jun agreed immediately and prepared to set off to Qingzhou to cooperate with the navy.

As for the other one left behind, it was Cai Yong.
