So in their eyes, human nature is inherently evil.
It is completely understandable for Governor Feng to take some precautions in order to prevent people's hearts from changing.
To put it bluntly, by letting Jiang Wei lead the army to station in Jincheng, isn't it just a chess piece wedged in the throat of Liangzhou?
When General Guan Da followed him to Hanzhong, didn't he have the intention of observing?
In the end, didn’t it become a story that I and the female bodyguard had to tell?
Secretary Zhang has been working hard these past few years. Doesn’t he have the intention to supervise the army?
In the end, didn’t it become a story that my female secretary and I had to tell?
Even Li Mu had ulterior motives in the beginning.
In the end, it became a story that the female CEO and I had to tell?
As for Jiang Wei, hmm...
Storytelling is my favorite.
Since Governor Feng is aboveboard, what are you afraid of?
But seeing Zhang Xiaosi’s eyes looking a little strange, he nodded:
“It would be great if Colonel Jiang could lead the army to Duyezawa.”
Since Alang has the ability to control Jiang Wei, she naturally has nothing to say, since she can’t control him anyway.
The reason is also very simple, because Jiang Wei is the prime minister's man.
There are some taboos, or some tacit understandings, that even my sister never thought of breaking.
“Moreover, Tonozawa used to be the real administrative seat of the Colonel Protecting Qiang.”
Feng Jishi finally said, "Now that Jiang Wei has become the captain of the Qiang Protector, it is very reasonable for him to lead the army to pacify the capital of Yeze."
Juyanze and Duyeze are the two entrances for the Hu people from the north to enter Liangzhou.
Ju Yanze previously established Xihai Commandery, while Du Yeze established the Qiang Protector Colonel.
This is all to prevent the Hu people from going south and entering Liangzhou to cause trouble.
He organized the army as quickly as possible, and then led the army over the Hongchi Ridge and into Wuwei.
Zhang Xiaosi was a little surprised when he received the news, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, this is after the fact.
After arranging these matters, Governor Feng met with another person, Cao San, who had brought him the news of Cao Zhi's death.
“Although Mr. Cao and I, who were friends in Wen, could not meet each other, we had long been friends. Now that Mr. Cao has passed away, I cannot visit his grave in person. It is a pity.”
“In addition to paying homage in the air, I also wrote an article and asked Cao Zhuangshi to burn it for me in front of Mr. Cao’s tomb.”
After these days of cultivation, Cao San’s body has recovered a lot.
Hearing this, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground to perform a great ceremony:
“If Mr. Feng has an order, how dare I do it without risking my life?”
Feng Jishi sighed: "How powerful are the loyal servants in Mr. Cao's house!"
Immediately he took out a framed piece of calligraphy and handed it to Cao San.
At the same time he whispered:
“I know that some of my words may not sound nice, but since Mr. Cao recognizes me as a friend, I will simply tell Mr. Cao.”
Cao San held the letter frame and said solemnly:
“Feng Langjun, please speak.”
Governor Feng coughed and then said:
"Master Cao's life in Wei was really unsatisfactory during his lifetime. I know that he had two sons during his lifetime. If he really can't survive in Wei, he can come to me and I will treat him as my nephew."
Cao Zhi’s son is now over 20 years old, and is almost the same age as Feng Prefect.
It took great courage to say the words of Governor Feng, "Treat him as your own nephew".
But it doesn’t matter.
Lu Ji is Lu Xun’s uncle. Lu Xun is several years older than his uncle!
Cao San instinctively wanted to refute.
Just thinking of King Chen's treatment during his lifetime, he couldn't help but feel resentful again.
Cao Pi and his son did too much to King Chen!
Thinking of this, Cao San felt sad in his heart and couldn't help crying:
“How dare I say anything about Prince Chen’s family affairs? But Mr. Feng’s thoughts will definitely be conveyed to his mistress.”
Although King Chen has left, the princess is still there.
If it had been anyone else, Cao San would have fought hard with him.
But Feng Langjun is different.
Feng Langjun said such potentially offensive words, which made it even more obvious that King Chen and Feng Langjun were different from each other.
After hearing Cao San’s tone, Governor Feng also understood.
Cao Zhi is also a clan member of the Cao family. How could his son rebel against Wei and the Han?
Say this, it is just a ten thousandth of hope.
At the same time, it also shows Feng Langjun’s magnanimous mind and noble feelings to the world.
no other meanings……
In June of the 11th year of Jianxing, Feng Yong ordered Liao Hua and Jiang Wei to each lead an army and move into Yanze and the capital Yeze.
At the same time, Sima Yi of Guanzhong continued to manage Beidi County and greatly re-expanded it, reversing the trend of the Hu people moving southward since the end of the Later Han Dynasty.
As for Bu Dugen of Bingzhou, he finally decided to betray the Wei State and rallied his people to join Kebineng.
Kebi was overjoyed when he received the news. He personally led more than ten thousand fine cavalry to Xingbei on the border of Bingzhou in Wei State to meet the Budugen tribe, their cattle, sheep, chariots and horses.
After Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, learned about it, he was not angry but happy. He sent someone to send a memorial to Luoyang overnight, saying that the barbarians were causing trouble and the governor of Bingzhou would send troops to suppress it.
Being on the northern border with Bingzhou, Youzhou was the first to know about Bingzhou’s dispatch of troops.
Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, was so angry that he threw the official document to the ground and cursed angrily:
“Bi Guizhuzi! He has no reputation for talent, but he is nothing more than a scholar!”
"Divide and rule is the right way. How can we allow the barbarians to join together? Wouldn't this add a lot of trouble to the border?"
Although Wang Xiong advocated mainly pacifying the Hu people, he even used the excuse of provoking side affairs to exclude Tian Yu, who had always been tough on the Hu people, from Youzhou.
But this does not mean that he is willing to see the grassland unified.
Otherwise, last year, he would not have used his plan to sow discord between Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen, and prevent Kebi Neng from annexing other small tribes.
In Wang Xiong's eyes, he only needs the Hu people to continue to maintain the current state of division, and Kebi to stop invading the border and continue to pay tribute to the Wei Dynasty.
That is enough.
The current enemies of the Wei Dynasty are Shu bandits and Wu Lu, and they are not Hu people.
If you can't even see this clearly, what's the use of wasting troops and money and food on the barbarians?
Especially those like Tian Yu who kept stirring up border troubles. Not only were they unable to destroy the Hu people, they even caused Kebi to lead troops to invade the border, so that the soldiers, civilians and officials on the border could not rest for a moment.
What's the use of keeping him in Youzhou?
I didn’t expect that Bi Gui was even stupider than Tian Yu!
To actually force Bu Dugen, who had been guarding the border for the Wei Dynasty, to join Kebineng, he was extremely stupid!
If it had been anyone else, Wang Xiong would have already written to him about his faults in governing Bingzhou.
It's just that Bi Gui has the merit of serving the dragon and is married to the royal family, so he is a close confidant of His Majesty.
Letting Liang Xi, the former governor of Bingzhou, return to Luoyang to serve as the chief agricultural officer, and then letting Bi Gui serve as the governor of Bingzhou, this was His Majesty's way of gathering power after he ascended the throne.
Coupled with the current situation in the Wei Dynasty, if I really want to impeach Bi Gui, I am afraid that I will violate His Majesty's taboo.
It’s just that when I squeezed out Tian Yu, I used the reason to appease Ke Bineng.
If Kebi could unify the grasslands and become a major problem for the Wei Dynasty, he might also be implicated.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiong couldn't help but feel angry and scared.
Under such circumstances, he had to think deeply and wrote a memorial to express the hidden dangers of the Hu people in Youjie and Erzhou.
Once again reiterated his opinion that with the current general trend of the world, Shu and Wu are the biggest enemies.
You can make use of the Hu people, but do not force them too much, so as not to waste too much troops, money and food on the northern border.
After writing the memorial, he wrote another letter and secretly sent it to Guanzhong.
Bi Gui had no hope, and all he could think of now was the Great Sima guarding Guanzhong on the southwest side of Bingzhou.
Wang Xiong’s letter was still halfway on the way, and Sima Yi was already standing at Pubanjin Ferry, looking to the northeast, and slowly said something:
“Bi Gui, at best, has only served as a local official and has no experience in leading a political party, let alone leading an army.”
"He can be appointed governor of Bingzhou, and the people he relies on are only those whom your majesty cares about. Therefore, he should be more careful to avoid making mistakes."
“Now he not only changes the old customs of Liang Dynasty, but also personally leads the army out of the country. He is so arrogant that he is afraid that he will be humiliated by the barbarians.”
Wang Xiong may be afraid of offending Bi Gui, but as the Grand Sima, Sima Yi is already considered the most important minister in the court, so why should he worry about this?
Beside Sima Yi, stood Sima Shi.
There was a man who was following Sima Yi and his son closely.
Neither Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, nor Fei Yao, the rear general, Dai Ling, the guard of the Shu army, Qin Lang, the brave cavalry general, and others.
It was Deng Ai who had just returned from Beidi County.
“Sima… I don’t care, do you think Bi will lead the army?”
The fact that Da Sima could say these words in front of him showed that he really regarded him as a confidant. Deng Ai couldn't help but feel deeply moved, and he mustered up the courage to ask.
“Compared to you, he is far behind!”
Sima Yi twirled his beard and smiled lightly, not sure whether he was mocking Bi Gui or praising Deng Ai.
“Da Sima Muzan, Ai...Ai doesn’t dare to do it.”
Deng Ai's face turned red with excitement and he stammered.
Sima Yi waved his hand:
“You have gone with me to Beidi County this time, which is enough to prove your talent. As for Bi Gui, let’s wait for a while and see what news comes.”
Crossing the river eastward from Pubanjin Ferry is Hedong County, which is the boundary of Sizhou where Luoyang is located.
But if you keep going north along the river, you can directly reach Xihe County, which is the boundary of Bingzhou.
So if you are serious, you can easily get news about Bingzhou from here.
As some people far away in Liangzhou expected, part of the reason why Sima Yi ran Beidi County was to prevent the Hu people in Bingzhou from changing.
Hu Bo's Juzizhi clan was destroyed, and Deng Ai went with the army as a general.
The Wei army cleanly wiped out Hu Bo's tribe based on Deng Ai's suggestion of a surprise attack.
Deng Ai was originally transferred to Guanzhong as a farming officer. After meeting Sima Yi, he first proposed specific methods of farming, and now he has made contributions.
So I had to be granted the title of General, which was finally the first step.
Why didn’t this make Deng Ai feel full of gratitude to Da Sima?
But I heard Sima Yi continue to ask a question:
"I heard that when Shizai was serving as the bachelor of the Duwei of Diannong, Guo Xuanxin once said to him that your talents should be high enough to serve as prime minister. Is this possible?"
Deng Ai was startled and subconsciously looked up at Sima Yi.
But seeing Sima Yi's calm expression, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his face.
Deng Ai already stuttered, and when he was flustered, he could not speak fluently:
"The great... great... great Sima, Rong. This was at the end of that year when he and Shi Zhongrong were appointed as imperial ministers, and those who visited him joked about it."
Sima Yi glanced at him and smiled slightly:
“Don’t be nervous, you can just tell me how to farm in Guanzhong, and at least one of the county guards can be appointed.”
“Now I have to use the power of thunder to shock the Qiang and Hu, and then supplement it with gentle strategies. This is really a great thing!”
Deng Ai breathed a sigh of relief.
“The Shi Zhongrong you just mentioned, is this the Shi Zhongrong that people at that time said was ‘Shi Zhongrong, Jiao Wushuang’?”
Sima Yi finally asked this question.
“Exactly.”
“Back then, you and he drove cars for others, and were both called talented ministers. Do you know where he is now?”
“I’ll forgive you, Grand Sima. At that time, Shi Zhongrong got acquainted with Xu Yun, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and wanted to be promoted to the Jin Dynasty. Later, I heard that he was transferred to Yecheng. I have not been in contact with him for a long time!”
Hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh:
“What a pity, it seems that I have lost the talent of a minister!”
Deng Ai couldn't bear it when he saw Da Sima's eagerness for talents, and said:
"Da Sima, I have heard at the end that Shi Zhongrong has been selling iron between Yecheng and Chang'an in recent years. Da Sima might as well be found, but it is unknown whether he can be found or not."
“Oh, there’s still this matter?” Sima Yi was surprised and nodded repeatedly, “If we really find another great talent, I will remember you for your contribution.”
He comforted Deng Ai again and then let him go down.
However, Deng Ai bowed respectfully to Sima Yi first, then saluted Sima Shi before leaving.
Sima Shi, who had not spoken until now, asked:
“How kind do you treat Deng Shizai, your lord?”
"Because he is talented." Sima Yi said calmly, "A talented person is not afraid of having too many talents, but is afraid of having too few."
When I first met Deng Shizai, I saw him squatting on the top of the city to draw the terrain regardless of the snow and severe cold.
This type of person, even if they are not very talented, will not be a simple person in the future as long as they are given opportunities due to their resilience.
As Sima Yi spoke, he turned around and pointed to the west:
"Nowadays, the Shu bandits are rampant and cunning. If there is no capable person around to help them, how can they fulfill His Majesty's trust?"
Sima Shi couldn't help but groan when his master mentioned "Your Majesty".
Although the flashy case has passed, Master Sima will remember it unforgettable in his life.
Not only was he stripped of all his official positions, he was also banned from leaving home for a year.
Not to mention that in that turmoil, the ugly appearance caused by fear was clearly seen by others.
In the eyes of Master Sima, what His Majesty did was no different from humiliating himself.
Sima Yi naturally knew what his son was thinking.
But I saw him slowly saying:
“I often tell you that if you are not as powerful as others, you must know practical matters and know how to be patient. Gou Jian has the guts to endure hardships, and Han Xin has the humiliation of his crotch. What does this mean to you?”
Sima Shi was startled and responded quickly.
Sima Yi nodded, looked to the northeast again, and smiled thoughtfully:
“Do you know why I care so much about Bingzhou?”
“I don’t know.”
"Our Majesty, although he is very different from the late emperor, one thing is very similar, that is, he likes to use side relatives or in-laws."
Bigui is a royal in-law.
As for the Sima family, they are separated by one level.
Because his son married a daughter of the Xiahou family.
It would have been fine before, but now the Xiahou family is a thorn in His Majesty's side.
“But even if Bi Gui is defeated by the barbarians as your Majesty said, what does that have to do with your Majesty?”
Sima Shi asked.
Sima Yi smiled meaningfully:
"If Bi Gui makes a mistake, given the temperament of our Majesty, he will definitely send someone to lead the army again."
When you were defeated at the hands of the Shu bandits, did your Majesty just ignore the dissuasion of his ministers and conspire with Cao Zhen to attack Shu again?
If you can't even defeat the barbarians[520], how can your Majesty endure such a tone?
Sima Shi is still puzzled.
“Da Lang, if Bi Gui’s army is defeated and Your Majesty sends someone else there, who do you think you will send?”
