Chapter 0929 and state border affairs(1/2)
The barbarians in Bingzhou are causing rebellion, who is the most suitable person to lead the army to quell the rebellion?
Sima Shi wanted to say, of course it is an adult.
But if even the small barbarians have to be led by adults in person, then the great Wei Dynasty is really hopeless.
It has only been a few years since Cao Wei accepted the Zen throne from the Han Emperor. Could it be that he has already fallen to the point where no one can use him?
Let alone the master who is guarding Guanzhong, how can he leave easily?
Shu people will not take any action when they see the master leaving Guanzhong?
So Master Sima rejected the idea at the first opportunity.
So who should it be?
Sima Shi glanced at Sima Yi, his mind spinning rapidly.
He knew that although he had no official position now, the master still took him with him, which was enough to explain some problems.
So I cannot let the adults down.
Since the adults intend to test themselves, they must have given you some hints.
Master Sima went through what he said before in detail again, and his heart suddenly moved when he remembered what the Lord said about "preferring to use side branches and in-laws".
So he thought about all the Cao family's relatives and in-laws, and asked tentatively:
“Cao Shuang? Cao Yu?”
Sima Yi glanced at his son:
"Bi Gui has been the governor of Bingzhou for several years. Cao Shuang and Cao Yu are not even qualified to lead the government. I am afraid they are not as good as Bi Gui. You let them lead the army?"
Sima Shi Sandan.
That’s an in-law? :(/
Actually, there is another Xiahou Xian in the Xiahou family.
It’s just that the Xiahou clan is no longer trusted by Your Majesty.
Xia Houxian just got a sinecure and stayed in Luoyang doing nothing.
It can be said that the current treatment of the representatives of the Xiahou clan is worse than that of myself who was implicated in the flashy case.
After all, I have been lifted from the ban and can travel freely.
And the main figures of the three Xiahou tribes were not even allowed to leave Luoyang.
After much thought, Master Sima could not guess who His Majesty would most likely send.
Because this person must not only gain the trust of His Majesty, but also have the ability to command troops.
Just these two conditions, there are actually many people in the DPRK who meet them.
But if you add the conditions of clan and marriage, it will be a bit difficult to find.
After all, after two generations of continuous restrictions and weakening of clans, the current royal clans do not have outstanding talents at all.
As if he could read his son's thoughts, Sima Yi said again leisurely:
“Those whose surname is Cao may not necessarily be a clan relative; those who are clan relatives may not necessarily be surnamed Cao!”
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Master Sima suddenly woke up and blurted out: "Qin Lang!"
Qin Lang’s eldest son is Qin Yilu, and Qin Yilu’s wife is Du.
Yilu of Qin was originally a general under Lu Bu, and later he went as an envoy to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu took him as his wife, a daughter of a Han clan member.
Leaving his ex-wife Du Shi and his son Qin Lang alone in Xiapi.
Ahem, everyone in the world knows that Emperor Wu’s hobbies are slightly different from ordinary people.
At that time, Emperor Wu besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi. After the city was defeated, he saw that Du was quite handsome and accepted her.
So Qin Lang became the stepson of Emperor Wu.
Similar to Qin Lang, there is He Yan, who was born to Mrs. Yin.
Mrs. Yin was originally the daughter-in-law of General He Jin.
However, although Qin Lang and He Yan have similar fates, their personalities are completely opposite.
He Yan has a flamboyant personality and behaves without scruples. As a pretender, he wears clothes similar to those of the prince.
He married Emperor Wu's Princess Jinxiang as his wife, but because he gave birth to a good-looking man, he was known as a pink-faced man, so he often had contact with other women.
Such actions were naturally disliked by Emperor Wen.
Hence, he was never able to hold an official position during the early years of Huang Dynasty.
When the current His Majesty takes the throne, He Yan will only be awarded the position of redundant official.
It just happened that a few years ago, he was involved in a flashy case just like me, and his future seemed even more bleak.
Compared to He Yan's publicity, Qin Lang is much more low-key and cautious.
From Emperor Wu to Emperor Wen, and even to His Majesty now, they all like Qin Lang very much.
Emperor Wu even publicly declared: Is there anyone in the world who loves a fake child like an orphan?
If it can be said that He Yan was eager for wealth and followed the influence of others, then during the two generations of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, Qin Lang took the initiative not to hold an official position, but was keen on traveling.
He even became friends with His Majesty, who was not liked by Emperor Wen at that time.
So after His Majesty ascended the throne, he immediately recruited Qin Lang to serve as an official in the court, and often asked him to accompany him on his travels. He even often affectionately called him by his nickname Asu.
His Majesty not only rewarded Qin Lang many times, but also built him a large mansion in the capital.
His trust is as high as that of Qin Lang.
The most important thing is that Qin Lang's talent is not low.
In the Battle of Xiaoguan, the army led by the former Grand Sima was defeated in many cases.
Qin Lang's army was one of the few battalions that were relatively intact among the fighting battalions.
After the defeat of Xiaoguan, Qin Lang protected Cao Dasima and retreated, and together with Guo Huai gathered the defeated troops, thus leaving a lot of energy for the Guanzhong army.
After thinking about it like this, Master Sima felt more and more that Qin Lang was indeed the right candidate.
Sima Yi heard the answer he wanted and nodded with satisfaction:
“Indeed, Qin Yuanming was someone close to His Majesty, but when he saw the danger, he was ordered to lead the army to stay in Guanzhong.”
“The current situation is not as good as it was back then, and besides, His Majesty has been apart from me for several years, so I think I miss you too.”
“It would be a good thing to do a favor and let him return to His Majesty.”
During the Battle of Longyou, His Majesty visited Chang'an in person, but Zhang He was defeated in Jieting and Wei Zhen was defeated in Wudu.
The Guanzhong was in turmoil, in order to guard the various passes, and at the same time to break up the alliance of upstarts such as Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others.
Liu Fang and Sun Zi, two veterans of the three dynasties who had been in charge of secrets for many years, suggested that Qin Lang be sent to guard Qian County.
This defense means staying in Guanzhong for five years without being able to return.
As an old fox, how could Sima Yi not guess what Liu Fang and Sun Zi were thinking?
It's just that Qin Lang has been a blessing in disguise in the past few years in Guanzhong and has become a rookie in the Wei army. They are afraid that things will not go as they wish.
And Qin Lang stayed in Guanzhong for several years, and he may not want to return to Luoyang.
Your Majesty may not not want Qin Lang to return to you.
So taking advantage of the merger of the states and taking advantage of the situation to send Qin Lang away is a matter for all parties, why not do it?
“Is everything going well in all directions?”
Sima Shi was startled and couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Isn't it Sanfang?"
Your Majesty, Qin Lang, Liu Fang and Sun Zi, who else is there?
When he looked at his master with some doubts and saw his meaningful expression, he suddenly understood something:
Does it mean that you don’t want Qin Lang to stay in Guanzhong?
After thinking about it, Master Sima was stunned at first, and then suddenly felt an inexplicable heart palpitation:
Sir, what do you think?
“What on earth is he thinking!”
Cao Rui, who was also in Luoyang, slammed the memorial sent from Bingzhou onto the case and cursed angrily:
“Let him be the governor of Bingzhou to appease the local government, not to initiate border affairs!”
Liang Xi has been in charge of merging prefectures for more than 20 years, and his political achievements are often the best in the world.
With such a good governance foundation, Bigui was able to launch the Bibu Dugen rebellion.
Now that you are writing such a memorial, do you really think that you are a foolish king who does not know how to govern the world?
In fact, although Bi Gui is a relative of the emperor, Cao Rui doesn't like him very much now.
The reason is also very simple, because when investigating the Fuhua case, Cao Rui discovered that Bi Gui had a close connection with everyone in the Fuhua case.
Had it not been for the repeated defeats after he ascended the throne, Cao Rui would have dismissed Bi Gui as governor of Bingzhou just because of the flashy case.
It's just that now, Cao Rui's foundation is unstable, so even if he knows that Bi Gui is ineffective in governing Bingzhou, he has to hold his nose and endure it.
Since Cao Rui's position was far less solid than in history, he had to treat the powerful children and young students lightly.
