Chapter 539: Power Comes Out of the Barrel of a Gun
"I don't know how Mr. Wen arranged?" Sima You looked at Liu Yin expectantly. Ji Xi also looked nervous, but Sima You had already opened his mouth,
Liu Yin smiled slightly, and said: "The prince should not forget his identity but he is General Wei, who is in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, as long as the prince can make good use of the power in his hands, I believe that all problems can be solved." ”
It is an eternal truth that political power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and no matter how noisy and conspiracy those literati are, they can only be crushed in the face of absolute power.
What Liu Yin values is the power of General Sima Youwei.
General Wei and the hussar general, the general of the chariot cavalry side by side, are the rank of the second grade, the general of the Wei State by Sima Zhao and the leader, so General Wei and the hussar general, the same as the general of the chariot, is the first class of the general, all open the mansion, the government has a long history, Sima each one, engaged in the Zhonglang two, Peng belongs to twenty-nine people, Ling Shi Yu belongs to thirty-one people.
Hussar generals and chariot cavalry generals are more often an honorary position, if the hussar general and chariot cavalry general are not crowned as the governor of a certain state military, then this general position is a false title, empty head and bare pole commander, only Yu Lu can take but no soldiers can be adjusted. At the beginning, Sima Wang served as a hussar general to supervise the military affairs in Guanzhong, so that he had the qualification to lead the army. After Sun Yi of Wu and later Sun Xiu defected to Wei, they were named chariot and hussar generals, and it is clear that this was only an honorary position, and no one would be naïve to think that they could really hold heavy troops after becoming chariot and hussar generals.
But General Wei is different, General Wei is in charge of the Jingshi Forbidden Army, responsible for the security of Gyeonggi, and is a general with heavy troops in the real sense. Sima You became General Wei at the age of eighteen, and it was obvious that Sima Zhao had plans to train him as his successor.
However, compared with the situation when General Wei controlled the forbidden army in the north and south in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scope of General Wei's authority in the Cao Wei era was much smaller. It is only responsible for the guards in the palace and the capital, and the garrison outside Luoyang is no longer under its control, and the traditional sense of the five schools of the Northern Army, the cavalry, the Yue cavalry, the infantry, Changshui, and the shooting sound are not under the jurisdiction of General Wei, and the tiger and leopard cavalry, which is known as the world's best cavalry, is not in the command sequence of General Wei.
But General Wei is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in the entire Luoyang City, and is in charge of the defense of the twelve gates of Luoyang, which is for Liu Yin. It is already enough, this is already a rather terrifying force, and if it is used well, it is enough to seize the initiative of the entire situation.
Liu Yin had already made a plan for action, if there was an abnormal situation on the side of the Jin Palace, it would have to be solved by force, first of all, Ji Xi would close the twelve gates of Luoyang with Sima You's order, cut off the connection between inside and outside the city, and then the Jin Palace would be surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army. In Luoyang City, the Yan Party elements will be hunted down, and the entire Luoyang City will be under martial law at that time, and anyone who dares to resist will be suppressed with an iron fist. Sima You took the edict of the Emperor of Wei to the world and succeeded to the throne of Jin.
At the mention of meeting his brother Bingrong, Sima You's expression darkened a little, but Ji Xi beside him was uncontrollable excitement and eager to try.
Ji Xi is a subordinate of General Wei. The rank is not high, but it can lead the Royal Forest Army. In Liu Yin's plan, Ji Xi can be said to be the most critical figure, and he will control the Imperial Forest Army to close the twelve gates of Luoyang and block and surround the Jin Palace.
Liu Yin's plan is equivalent to a military coup d'état in Luoyang City, if he cannot use peaceful means to ascend to power. Then Liu Yin is ready to use force to help Sima You regain the position of King of Jin, which will be a bold and arrogant action, which will surely set off a bloody storm in Luoyang City, and its fierce situation and degree will never be inferior to the Gaopingling Incident when Sima Yi and his son snatched power from Cao Shuang.
Liu Yin, who has experienced countless battles of life and death, is almost familiar with arranging such military operations. But for Sima You, who had never been on the battlefield to fight, hearing Liu Yin's plan was shocking, his face was pale and cold sweat was dripping.
"Mr. Wen, is it necessary to make such an arrangement?" Sima You asked Liu Yindao with some trepidation. Sima You had been an infantry captain before, that is, the infantry captain that Ruan Ji had served, and it could be regarded as an experience before serving as General Wei.
However, it is one thing to train men and horses, and it is another thing to command a war, and Sima You, who has never experienced a battle formation, is naturally concerned and uneasy about such a military operation.
Liu Yin smiled very calmly and said: "It is a foolproof strategy, any situation can be calmly dealt with, the prince and the prince master the people of Beijing, it is an innate excellent opportunity, this is the will of heaven to help the prince and the marquis, the so-called opportunity can not be lost, and it will not come again, if the prince loses this opportunity, I am afraid there is no possibility of promotion." ”
Ji Xi also said: "What Mr. Wen said is extremely true, please think twice." ”
Sima You was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Then follow what Mr. said." ”
Liu Yin showed an imperceptible smile on his face, gave up his promise, and retreated.
The purpose of Liu Yin's trip is to take advantage of Sima Zhao's death to muddy the pool of water in Luoyang, so that the Sima clan forces that were originally in peaceful transition will experience a shock no less than a nine-magnitude earthquake, even if it cannot destroy the Sima clan's forces, at least it must be greatly damaged, and create conditions for the Shu Han Dynasty to gain a foothold in Guanzhong and even enter the Central Plains.
is close to Sima You, Liu Yin can indeed feel that Sima You is indeed a "good boy", gentle and generous, kind and simple, if it is not limited by identity, Liu Yin is indeed willing to become close friends with Sima You, but unfortunately he is Sima Zhao's son, then it is destined that the relationship between them can only be used and used.
In Liu Yin's eyes, Sima You is a tool, a tool to create turmoil in Luoyang for him, no matter what the result is, Liu Yin's goal will be achieved, although this is somewhat cruel, but Liu Yin has no hesitation, the interests of Shu Han are above all else, this is in Luoyang City, there are enemies on all sides, whether it is the Yan Party, or the You Party, they are Liu Yin's enemies, as long as the goal of weakening the enemy's strength can be achieved, Liu Yin will do whatever it takes.
Of course, if he can help Sima You ascend to the throne, Liu Yin is still very happy, after all, a monarch with a gentle personality and a monarch with a violent personality are easy for people to choose. (To be continued.) )
