Chapter 1057: Sima Yi's Legacy Determines Youzhou
If Sima Shi sends troops now, it will not only be easy to startle the snake, but also the truth, after all, there is only news to prove that there is a possibility of rebellion in Wuqiujian, but there is no conclusive evidence, if Sima Shi uses this to send troops to fight, it is easy to be criticized.
But if you wait until Wuqiu Jian is ready to raise troops, Sima Shi will send troops again, then it will obviously fall behind, Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and Liaodong is two or three thousand miles away, Sima Yi went to Liaodong, four months to go, four months to return, four months to fight, it took a whole year, obviously in time, Sima Shi was a little unbearable.
What Sima Shi is most worried about is that Wuqiu Jian and Cao Liang are in collusion with each other, so that Bingzhou and Youzhou are each other's horns, and when Sima Shi goes on an expedition to Youzhou, how can he rest assured, and he doesn't have to worry about Cao Liang making a move.
At present, Sima Shi's biggest enemy is still Cao Liang of Bingzhou, which is a serious threat to the existence of Luoyang, after Sima Shi returned to Luoyang, he has ordered to gather all the craftsmen who can be gathered, even if he uses forced means, he has gathered these craftsmen in the workshop, and started work day and night to build the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups.
The raw materials of iron, wood, and leather were also trivial matters for the Sima family, as long as the craftsmen were made to draw scoops from gourds and imitate a batch of high-bridge saddles and bilateral stirrups on a large scale, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Sima army could be significantly improved.
Sima Shi has already summed up the gains and losses of this battle of annexing states, and if he loses the battle, he must find out the reasons, learn a lesson, and avoid falling again next time.
Sima Shi and the think tank have carefully studied, this attack on the state, there is no problem in strategy and tactics, although there are some flaws in the command, but did not make a fatal mistake, the real reason for the loss of the battle of the state is that Cao Liang developed a new style of harness, the overall improvement of the cavalry's combat effectiveness, whether it is a single combat or an overall confrontation, the cavalry of the Sima army can not compete with it at all, and ultimately led to the defeat of the entire campaign.
The reason has been found, and the solution is naturally self-evident, so if he wants to have the capital to compete with the Bingzhou army in the next battle, Sima Shi must solve the problem of new harnesses.
Fortunately, when Sima Yi was alive, he had already paid enough attention to this issue, and sent someone to be responsible for creating these new harnesses.
In the eyes of the world, the inconspicuous tricks and tricks, in the hands of Cao Liang, turned into combat effectiveness, thinking of this, Sima Shi can't help but regret a little, you must know that many of Cao Liang's inventions and creations are thanks to Ma Jun in the previous matter, Cao Liang's wisdom and discernment, another way, to create a unique cavalry unit, if their Sima family reused Ma Jun earlier, why would they fall behind now.
It's not too late to make amends, and what Sima Shi is trying his best to do now is to make up for the mistakes they made back then, although it seems a little late, but it's better than doing nothing.
In the battle of Bingzhou, the Sima army lost more than ninety percent of the cavalry, this blow is indeed quite heavy, but fortunately, the Sima family still controls the horse-producing land of Longxi, and there are countless human resources to recruit, as long as it takes time, it is not a luxury to rebuild a large and powerful cavalry force.
But it all takes time, building harnesses, selecting horses, recruiting cavalry and even training cavalry, until it becomes a qualified cavalry team, it takes time to carry out, and it is all empty talk without a few years.
Therefore, maintaining the current situation is crucial for Sima Jun to recover his strength, but unfortunately the direction of the general trend of the world is not decided by Sima Shi alone.
Sima Shi convened all the ministers to discuss the affairs of Youzhou, but everyone felt that it was tricky, and it was indeed difficult to deal with it.
However, some people proposed to transfer Wuqiu Jian from Youzhou, and promised to transfer him to the imperial court or other states with high-ranking officials, as long as he left Youzhou to change places, he would no longer be able to make waves.
This method Sima Shi has not thought about it, but in fact it will not work, at this time to transfer Wuqiu Jian, it is clear that he is telling people that if he wants to move him, Wu Qiu Jian is not a fool, he will be at your mercy, once the situation is not good, it is likely to rebel in advance.
If you also send troops, you will also face such a problem, as long as Sima Shi sends troops from Luoyang, Wu Qiu Jian will definitely rebel in advance, and no one can sit still.
What's more, after sending troops, Luoyang is empty, whether Cao Liang will take the opportunity to attack Luoyang south, this is the most fatal problem, Sima Shi has considered it again, and it is difficult to decide.
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly Youzhou sent back an urgent document for six hundred miles. When Sima Shi first received the paperwork, his brows furrowed, under normal circumstances, he would not use the six-hundred-mile urgent information channel, once it was used, it would mean that there were 100,000 urgent things happening in Youzhou, could it be said that Wuqiu Jian had already rebelled?
Sima Shi frowned and opened the paperwork, just read two lines, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly finished reading the official document, Sima Shi looked up to the sky and roared, burst into tears, and shouted: "Father, you have a spirit in the sky, bless the child, the child has thanked!" ”
The ministers were stunned, and no one knew what was written on this official document, which could make Sima Shi sad and happy, cry and scream, like crazy.
Zhong Hui cautiously asked, "General, what is written on the official document that makes the General so excited?" ”
Sima Shi stopped his tears, laughed again, handed the official document to Zhong Hui, and asked him to circulate it to everyone, saying: "Good thing, great good thing, Youzhou is a big event!" ”
Zhong Hui took it and looked at it, and said happily: "Taifu's plan is to set Youzhou, and the true gods are also!" ”
After the ministers saw it, they also praised it one after another, Sima Yi was really like a god, he had already secretly ambushed Wang Qi as a chess piece in Youzhou, and successfully stopped Wuqiujian's rebellion, otherwise the situation in Youzhou would really be out of control.
Sima Shi was even more emotional, when he discussed with Sima Yi about Youzhou, Sima Yi just mentioned that he had a future, but what kind of backhand Sima Shi did not know, Sima Yi did not say much, and he did not dare to get to the bottom of it.
Now it seems that Wang Ji is a nail arranged by Sima Yi beside Wuqiujian, and at the most appropriate time, he gave Wuqiujian a fatal blow. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
