Chapter 1373: Gloomy and gloomy, high-spirited to fight
Seeing Sima Zhao's confused look, Zhang Chunhua let out a long sigh again.
After all, Zishang is still not as good as Ziyuan!
"My son, you all know that Cao Zhaobo is an indecisive person, so how can you be sure that he will not send troops to rescue him?"
"Don't forget, how many people in the court are against the old thief?" Speaking of this, Zhang Chunhua cursed again, "People like Cao Shuang, who are as stupid as pigs and dogs, if it weren't for his surname, An Neng would be the same as the old thief.
Are thieves equal to each other?"
As she said that, she looked at Sima Zhao again, "Cao Shuang is indecisive. What if he is persuaded by those who are against the old thief to send troops to rescue him?"
When Sima Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and subconsciously asked:
"If Cao Shuang can really send troops to rescue him, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"It is indeed a good thing for Wei, Hebei, and the old thieves," Zhang Chunhua looked at his son and said slowly, "But what about you? It may not be a good thing."
Seeing that his son had not yet reacted, Zhang Chunhua could only continue to remind:
"Does it mean that my son studies all day long but doesn't know the story of Spring and Autumn Protons?"
Sima Zhao suddenly woke up.
Proton?!
Sir, you actually want him to go to Qiao County to be a hostage?
Facing his mother's gaze, Sima Zhao remained silent for a long time, and finally said as if he had made up his mind:
"If Cao Shuang can take the overall situation into consideration this time, send troops to rescue and defeat Feng, the boy will be willing to be a hostage in Qiao County."
Wen County in Hanoi is the hometown of the Sima family.
Wen County is across the river from Henan. The river will freeze in winter, and the Han army from Luoyang will most likely take advantage of this opportunity to cross the river.
At that time, Wen County will be the first county to face the Han army.
As a descendant of the Sima family, and also the future patriarch of the Sima family, what reason do you have to shrink back?
Hearing her son's answer, Zhang Chunhua seemed to have expected it. She was not surprised, but asked another question:
"If you say, then the old thief has a bigger plan?"
besides?
Sima Zhao raised his head, with a look of disbelief on his face.
I thought I was going to be a messenger, but I didn't expect that I might become a hostage. This already sent chills down Sima Zhao's back.
But listening to what my mother meant, I actually had a deeper plan.
Zhang Chunhua sneered:
"Hebei is in danger, that is, the Sima family is in danger, but the old thief Sima has no way out now. In order to find a way out, what can't the old thief Sima do?"
"If you go to Qiao County to cry in court, you will be treated as a joke and you will be treated as a joke. On the contrary, it is the safest thing to do."
"As a hostage, there are old thieves leading an army outside, and with Cao Shuang's temperament, I won't harm you easily unless I have to."
"I'm just afraid. You went to Qiao County and became a joke. You didn't move back to recruit troops, but you were detained again."
When Zhang Chunhua said this, he paused for a while and then said slowly:
"You also said that Cao Shuang is an indecisive person, but he is surrounded by villains and all gentlemen avoid him."
"What if those villains want to harm my son out of their own selfish interests? What should I do?"
Not to mention anything else, Ding Mi, one of the three dogs in Taichung, was deeply hated by Sima Yi. Ding Mi also knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation with Sima Yi.
When Sima Zhao goes to Qiao County, will Ding Mi let him go easily?
For another example, Huan Fan, a fellow countryman of Cao Shuang, was driven out of Hebei by Sima Yi in front of everyone. It can be said that he was completely humiliated in front of everyone.
How could a man with such a character who killed his pregnant wife in anger not hold a grudge?
Given the current situation, he had no choice but to win over Sima Yi, but Sima Zhao took the initiative to send him to his door. Who can guarantee that this person would not turn his anger on Sima Zhao?
After listening to Zhang Chunhua's analysis, Sima Zhao's back was already filled with chills.
He said with some trembling:
"Sir, your Excellency said that I don't need to worry too much when I go to Qiao County this time. Could it be that he didn't think of this?"
"Or, maybe the adults have made arrangements secretly?"
Zhang Chunhua sneered and closed his eyes:
"What arrangements can he make? If you go to Qiao County this time and are humiliated by Cao Shuang, it will only make him appear to be a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty."
"If you become a hostage and bring in reinforcements, then he will have more control over the war in Hebei."
"If you lose your life because of this..."
Zhang Chunhua was already gnashing his teeth, "Then he can break the Sima family's deadlock!"
General Cao is now representing the imperial court with the Emperor in his arms.
If your son is harmed by General Cao, he is harmed by the imperial court.
At that time, no matter what happens in the war in Hebei, Sima Yi can use this as an excuse to stand on his own feet or surrender to the Han, and he will have sufficient reasons.
If Sima's situation is dead, he will be able to break a way out of his life.
Sima Zhao's body trembled involuntarily.
Although he really didn't want to believe what his mother said.
But he knows that if there is anyone who understands you best in this world, it is my mother.
Compared with Zhang Chunhua and Sima Zhao's sorrow, Feng Dasima, who was far away in Hedong, received Jiang Bin, the governor of Hedong, and a group of officials with a happy face.
Jiang Bin performed well in the Shangdang battle.
Although he is not as good as Shi Bao and others, under the circumstances at that time, he was able to appease the hearts and minds of the military and the people, which is quite remarkable.
Therefore, in the past few years, with him serving as the governor of Hedong, and with Wang Han cooperating in the defense of Tianjing Pass on Taihang County, people are relatively reassured.
After meeting the officials from Hedong, Feng Da Sima left Jiang Bin alone.
"Has Jiang Langjun ever thought about returning to Chang'an to take up a post?"
Feng Dashima didn't talk nonsense, but asked straight to the point.
Jiang Bin was stunned.
He originally thought that Da Sima wanted to talk to him about what happened before the war, but he didn't expect that he wanted to ask him to leave Hedong at this time?
"Da Sima...this?"
Feng Dasima looked at Jiang Bin and said slowly:
"The general is seriously ill. Even the medical school is not confident that he can survive this winter."
Jiang Wan has been recuperating from illness in the past few years.
Especially in the past two years, he has often been unable to manage affairs, so Fei Yi was appointed as Shangshu Ling and took over political affairs.
After hearing what Feng Da Sima said, Jiang Bin's expression did not change at all.
Hedong and Guanzhong are separated by a big river.
Now the big man has no shortage of horses, so it only takes a day or two to send a fast horse back and forth.
Therefore, Jiang Bin has always been able to understand his master's condition in a timely manner.
He had even been prepared for Ding You.
However, Jiang Bin was still greatly surprised when Da Sima Hui said this to him before the battle.
"The "Execution Order" written by Grand Sima for His Majesty says: The Prime Minister dedicated his whole life and devoted himself to Chang'an. He regretted his death in Chang'an. He had to regret it for himself. He was concerned about the king's career and could not get peace, so he risked danger to fulfill the late emperor's wishes."
"Before the Prime Minister died of illness, he entrusted foreign affairs to Da Sima and entrusted domestic affairs to Your Excellency."
"The Grand Sima was ordered to do so when he was in danger. He couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat well. His Majesty also often said to someone that it was his duty to eliminate filth and trouble. Since he was weak, the infant was sick and sick, and he failed to achieve the prescribed plan, making him miserable all day and night."
"The Prime Minister is responsible for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the Grand Sima is for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and you are also responsible for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Although I am not talented, I am still willing to do my best for the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty."
"I would like to thank Grand Sima for his kindness. However, if I return to Chang'an because of your business, I am afraid that your Excellency will not only not be happy, but also be angry because of your deeds."
My health is not in good shape. If something unexpected happens because of my anger, it would be extremely unfilial.
Feng Da Sima did not expect that Jiang Bin would say such a lot of words when he mentioned this casually.
His eyes became a little complicated, and there was even inexplicable emotion and admiration mixed in his expression.
There are three parts of the world, and Shuhan is probably the place with the most idealists.
Unfortunately, idealists often end up in tragedy.
Thinking of this, Feng Dasima couldn't help but sigh:
"The general and I are not outsiders either."
The matchmaker for the two ladies on the left and right is Jiang Wan.
Not to mention the early friendship between Feng Da Sima and Jiang Wan.
"Every time I think of the Prime Minister who died of illness in the army, and even when the Prime Minister was buried, my brother (Zhuge Qiao) who was in Nanzhong could not come, I always lamented."
He glanced at Jiang Bin and said, "So, naturally I don't want the general to follow in this footsteps. It's unnecessary."
With Dahan's current situation, there is no need for this.
"Bin thanked Da Sima for his kindness," Jiang Bin didn't know whether he was mocking himself or joking, "If I can really leave my name in history like the Prime Minister, I believe that you can put me in Nanzhong even now."
Feng Da Sima was silent for a moment and nodded:
"It's unnecessary on my part. Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and you can't force yourself on others."
"Da Sima, please don't say that," Jiang Bin said quickly. "In the current war, Da Sima is busy with military affairs, so he has to take time to talk about someone's personal matters. I am really frightened and grateful."
"After this battle, if Bin is lucky enough to serve the decoction in front of you, it will be all thanks to the great Sima."
This battle in Hebei is destined to be a big war, and we don’t know how long it will last.
It's almost the end of the year now, and it's hard to say whether the general can survive this year.
So Feng Dasima just smiled after hearing Jiang Bin's words.
Just treat it as a scene.
At this point, Feng Da Sima was naturally at a loss for advice and just said:
"Since you already have your concerns, I won't say any more."
After the conversation, Da Sima walked out first. Jiang Bin who followed behind couldn't help but said:
"Don't worry, Grand Sima. If we can really regain Hebei in this battle, your Excellency will be happy and smiling even if you are already under the yellow soil."
After a pause, he added another remonstrance:
"In the war in Hebei, the commander-in-chief immediately assumes the great trust of His Majesty and is responsible for the lives of the soldiers. Even though Bin is stupid, he will risk his life to give advice. I urge the commander-in-chief to make the war the most important thing before the war begins and not be distracted by things that have nothing to do with the war."
When Feng Dasima heard this, he stopped and looked back at Jiang Bin, with some complexity in his eyes again.
Facing idealists, Feng Dasima was still willing to speak more truth.
When he was in Nanzhong, some of the unhappiness between Jiang Bin and himself was actually caused by his being too loyal to the royal family.
From this aspect, he can be regarded as an idealist.
Of course, this unpleasantness is all in the past.
Feng Da Sima personally recommended him for the position of Governor of Hedong.
"Jiang Langjun has said that it is now before the war," Da Sima said with a touch of confidence and calmness on his face, "If I have to handle even the trivial matters before the war personally, then what should the soldiers and staff officers under my command do? "
Even for wartime tactical rehearsals, the army and staff have conducted countless rehearsals in the past few years.
I remember that the Central Protectorate selects the best students to study in the staff corps every year.
A wry smile appeared on Jiang Bin's face, "It's Binbu Guleimen who is so arrogant that he wants to admonish the Grand Sima on matters in the army."
Although Da Sima is the successor designated by the Prime Minister, Da Sima is even the Prime Minister's disciple.
But it has to be said that the two people's acting styles are basically two extremes.
With his status, he is not qualified to judge who is superior and who is inferior.
only……
Looking at the relaxed figure walking in front of him, he recalled that when he was in Shu, he often lamented the hard work of the prime minister.
Jiang Bin couldn't help but have a somewhat disrespectful thought:
If the Prime Minister could have listened to Yang Zizhao (also known as Yang Yong)'s advice, "In order to have a solid government, superiors and inferiors must not invade each other."
Thinking about it, even if it's not as easy as Da Sima now, it probably doesn't have to be as hard as it was back then.
After mobilizing the officials from Hedong in the Hedong Prefecture, Feng Da Sima rushed to the next target without stopping.
Wang Han, who was in charge of garrisoning Zhiguanxing, had been waiting for the arrival of Da Sima for a long time.
When he saw the familiar figure, he trotted up excitedly:
"The last general, Wang Han, pays homage to the king!"
He was called "Da Sima" instead of "Junhou", which already showed his relationship with Feng Da Sima.
Everyone can call Feng Junhou Da Sima, but not everyone can call Da Sima Junhou.
"No need to be polite." Feng Dashima, who was riding on his horse, signaled to Wang Han, "Lead the way."
There is no politeness, and the tone is not polite, but it is an attitude that countless people want but don't get.
Because this shows that Feng Dasima is keeping things secret.
"Here!"
Wang Han responded, but did not turn around. Instead, he stepped forward and personally led Feng Da Sima's horse.
He was originally a member of Wang Ping's clan, and was brought out by Wang Ping's clan. He also followed Feng Da Sima for many years and often received guidance.
When I followed Feng Da Sima, it was the most normal thing to lead the guard battalion and carry whips and stirrups.
Although he had already led the army and defended one side alone, he did not feel embarrassed at all to return to his old business at this time.
On the other hand, when Feng Da Sima saw this, he raised his whip and pointed at the soldiers in front of him who were greeting him, and asked:
"You are considered a general after all. With such a posture, are you not afraid of being laughed at?"
Wang Han shook his head and said seriously:
"Who in the army doesn't know that the general was brought out by the prince? The general will not forget the great kindness of the prince. Not to mention leading the horse and whip for the prince, even if he died for the prince, the general will not hesitate. ."
As he spoke, he pointed with his free hand in the direction where Feng Da Sima's riding whip was pointing, "And as long as Da Sima allows it and is willing to lead the horse for Da Sima, I'm afraid there will be many people competing for it."
As one of the earliest followers of Feng Da Sima, Wang Han could almost be said to have watched with his own eyes how the monarch led the Han soldiers to continuously defeat the thieves.
Step by step, he established his prestige among the Han army.
Especially after the death of the prime minister, the princes who controlled the internal and external military affairs turned the tide in the Shangdang battle, and their reputation in the army reached its peak.
No soldier is willing to follow an invincible commander.
One of the most direct reasons is that an invincible commander can allow them to achieve greater military success and at the same time save their lives as much as possible.
Honor, military merit, life...
What these soldiers need and value most can only be obtained by following such a commander.
The prince is the commander most recognized by the Han soldiers. In the minds of many people, he is already the god of war.
In the current war, is it shameful to be able to lead a horse and whip for the military god of the Han Dynasty?
