Chapter 1100: Prodigy Sima Lun

After Zhong Hui left, Sima Shi ordered Master Bo to bring the roster of the garrisons in various places and check it carefully.

  The army system of Wei is very large, and the number of standing armies is basically maintained above more than 500,000 Shuihuai, but it seems to be a large number, but in fact, the soldiers everywhere are relatively tight, and there is not much surplus that can be drawn at all.

  The army of Wei is divided into the Chinese army, the foreign army and the county soldiers, the Chinese army is the forbidden army of the imperial court, the original set up tiger guard, Xiao cavalry, guerrilla, backbone, middle base five battalions, the backbone of the two battalions in the period of Cao Shuang's reign was withdrawn, its troops were merged into the Tiger Guard, and the Xiao cavalry battalion followed Cao Liang to defect to the state, so the Chinese army only left the Tiger Guard and the guerrilla battalion.

  However, after the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi regained control of the Chinese army, first restored the backbone and the second battalion of the middle base, and rebuilt a cavalry team, but did not use the name of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but changed it to the Rui Cavalry Battalion to distinguish it from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion that had defected.

  However, this sharp cavalry battalion, also in the state of the whole army annihilated, after the Sima division in charge, the first to rebuild is the sharp cavalry battalion, the first batch of horses transported back from Longxi they selected, just created a new style of harness is also the first equipped to the cavalry battalion, now the equipment of the cavalry battalion is the first among all the cavalry army, the training effect is also the best, I believe how long it will take, this ace cavalry battalion will become the main force in the cavalry of the Sima army, become the capital of the Sima division to compete with the cavalry of the state.

  However, the Rui Cavalry Battalion does not yet have the ability to fight in real combat, and it is impossible for Sima Shi to push them onto the battlefield, and not only the Rui Cavalry Battalion, but all the battalions of the Chinese army have been more or less injured in the merger state, although the reconstruction has been completed by recruiting new troops, but the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, so there are not many people and horses that can be mobilized by the entire Chinese army.

  The foreign army refers to the troops stationed in Yongliang and Huainan in Jingzhou, and the armies of these two theaters are mainly against Shu and Wu, which are the backbone of defense and basically immovable.

  Next, the soldiers and horses that Sima Shi can mobilize are only the county soldiers from all over the country, not to mention the largest number of county soldiers, but the Wei State has a vast area of the world, many counties, so many troops are evenly distributed to each state and county, in fact, the troops stationed in each state and county are not too much, and they have to maintain local law and order, but also have to guard the city, and the task is also very heavy.

  In fact, the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is not as good as that of the Chinese army and the foreign army, and the most task they take on is to defend the city, and if they are in the field, they are indeed insufficient.

  Among them, the more elite Sanhe soldiers have the ability to fight, but in the battle of Bingzhou, the Sanhe soldiers suffered the heaviest losses, and even many battalions were annihilated, and now they are recovering relatively slowly.

  Sima Shi calculated for a long time, but he couldn't gather enough 100,000 infantry for Zhong Hui, he shook his head gently, although there are many soldiers and horses in this world, what can really be mobilized is relatively limited, and it is overstretched!

  Rubbing his swollen temples, Sima Shi stood up, he looked at these military books with one eye, it was indeed quite sleepy, Sima Shi looked at it for more than two hours in a row, and the only remaining eye was sleepy and astringent.

  Sima Shi didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he quickly got up and walked outside, going to the back garden to see the flowers and plants, and nourish his eyes.

  Since his eye injury, Sima Shi has been completely blind in one eye, and he has also suffered from eye diseases in the other eye, which is often accompanied by eye pain, and the imperial doctor has warned him to beware of overusing his eyes, otherwise he will be in danger of losing sight in both eyes.

  Although he lost one eye, it didn't really affect Sima Shi's life except for the narrowing of the visual distance, but the blindness of both eyes is different, and if he becomes blind, what other big thing can he do?

  All Sima Shi obeyed the instructions of the imperial doctor, and as soon as they found that their eyes were dry, itchy and painful, they took the initiative to read less official documents, and to go outdoors more, looking from afar and looking closely, so that the tired eyes could be properly relaxed.

  Not to mention, the imperial doctor's prescription of no needles and no medicine is quite smart, Sima Shi walked around the back garden, his eyes became much more comfortable, he was about to leave the back garden, only to hear the sound of reading loudly above the pavilion.

  Sima Shi is no stranger to this voice, as soon as he heard it was the voice of his ninth brother Sima Lun, it was the middle of March, the flowers were in full bloom, and the flowers in the back garden were pleasant, Sima Lun deliberately ran to the back garden to read, and he didn't know if he was really reading or enjoying the flowers.

  The ten-year-old child is at his worst play, although Sima Shi is extremely strict with Sima Lun, but he is not forbidden to come to the back garden to study, perhaps Sima Shi thinks that this is also a place to cultivate his temperament.

  When Sima Yi was dying, he entrusted Sima Lun to him, and Sima Yi also asked Sima Shi to make a heavy oath that after Sima Shi was a hundred years old, his position would be inherited by Sima Lun.

  Sima Shi didn't have much resistance to this, although he didn't have much affection for Sima Lun's mother Bai Lingyun, but in accordance with Sima Yi's will, Sima Shi was still more respectful to Bai Lingyun, and served him with his mother's courtesy, although Bai Lingyun was not older than him.

  For Sima Lun, Sima Shi has another feeling, although Sima Lun is his younger brother, but in terms of age, his daughters are much older than him, and it is not an exaggeration to treat him as his own son.

  The eldest brother is the father, and it is true, Sima Lun is naturally extremely smart, generous and decent in speech and demeanor, and is even more respectful to Sima Shi, which naturally wins Sima Shi's joy.

  Sima Shi himself has a certain degree of resistance to letting Sima Lun inherit his position, but Sima Lun is so smart and smart, which makes Sima Shi feel that Sima Yi has a unique vision for people, and with Sima Lun's intelligence, ten years later, he will become a great tool.

  Sima Shi has no son, and it is not difficult to treat Sima Lun as his own, so Sima Shi must conduct strict training for Sima Lun since he was a child, familiarize himself with the statecraft, military books and war books, and pave the way for the future succession to the throne.

  Sima Lun is obedient to Sima Shi, you let me read, I will read, you let me study, I will learn, and it is not half a point discount, for a child who is only ten years old, it is indeed commendable, just listened to him read, is "Sun Tzu's Art of War", now other children are just enlightened at the age of ten, and Sima Lun has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and Xiaochang Art of War Battle Array, can be called a prodigy.

  Sima Shi smiled slightly, with a look of relief on his face, and walked towards Sima Lun quickly.
