Chapter 400: A Wise Move

Sima Daozi was waiting for Sima Yao's explanation, but the one who spoke was Wei Jie!

Since Sima Yao has made his statement, Wei Jie will naturally do nothing. In his opinion, for Sima Yao, being able to have a superficial attitude is already a tough show. If you want to give a reason with confidence, it is a bit beyond his ability!

"Let Wei Jie guess the basis for the emperor to make such a decision!" Wei Jie said to Sima Yao leisurely.

"If Wei Jie guesses wrong, the emperor will correct it again!"

"Let me talk about Mr. Yuan Xian of the Kuaiji Palace. The reason why the emperor thinks he is not suitable for joining the Imperial Guard is nothing more than that Mr. Yuan Xian has a bad reputation in Jiankang City, and the Imperial Guard represents the image of the emperor. Mr. Yuan Xian is obviously not suitable for now. However, Wei Jie believes that the emperor can observe Mr. Yuan Xian's performance, and this matter can be tolerated before discussing it!"

In fact, Sima Yao was so arrogant that even if Sima Daozi was powerful, he could not force Sima Yao to change his mind. Wei Jie's words could be considered as giving Sima Daozi a step!

Sure enough, after Wei Jie finished speaking, Sima Daozi's face relaxed a little again, but he was still a little worried. From Xie Kun to Sima Yao, and then to Wei Jie, there was no one who was sure that Sima Yuan showed his character. Sima Daozi was always a father, and his son was so disliked, it was still a bit difficult to let go!

"As for Lord Wang's two young masters, the reason is even simpler. The two young masters lived in Qingzhou for a long time and were not familiar with Jiankang's human nature. The imperial guards are the guards of Jiankang City, so they naturally need the people from Jiankang City to command. The two young masters need to be familiar with the songs in Jiankang for another year or two before they can serve the emperor and the court in the imperial guards!"

"Actually, Wei Jie thinks that Young Master Kun has a very right thing to say. Wei Jie recruited the laid-off Le army to join the imperial guards, which was really helpless. These people are actually more like hooligans, most of them are young masters from Jiankang City. When Mr. Wang's two young masters want to control these people, they are afraid they still lack some time!"

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the reasons Wei Jie said are really what you are thinking?"

There is actually only one reason why Sima Yao refused Sima Daozi and Wang Gong, that is, he didn't want these two people to be involved in the military power of the imperial guards again. He wanted to firmly control the military power of Jiankang City in his own hands. This is just that this reason is not enough for the two. Now that the Wei Jie has found such a good step for him, he is naturally happy to take advantage of the situation!

"Yes, that's what I think!" Sima Yao nodded and said.

"Yuan Xian is young and vigorous. Although he has no major mistakes, he has made many minor mistakes. He has long lost all the people's hearts in Jiankang City. It is not suitable to have any involvement with the imperial guards at this stage. As for the two uncles, as General Wei said, he does not know enough about Jiankang, so I will discuss this matter too much!"

"All personnel arrangements in the imperial guards, General Wei will make the decision. After the arrangement is made, you can just make a list and hand it over to me for your review!"

"The order of the guard rank!"

Wei Jie first respectfully accepted the order, and then said: "Your Majesty, the worst-case plan for the Jingzhou Army, otherwise, if the incident occurs, Wei Jie may not be able to respond!"

"What is the general's suggestion?" Sima Yao asked casually, seemingly carelessly.

"Stone City, Wei Jie had already proposed yesterday as the emperor said. Stone City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is a hundred times stronger than Jiankang. Even if you stick to it and wait for help, the emperor should choose Stone City first!" Wei Jie suggested again patiently.

"Jiankang is the place of the palace city, and it is the capital of my Great Jin Dynasty. How can I abandon it easily?" Sima Yao said with a frown.

"Didn't General Wei say that yesterday? Jiankang has strengthened his vigilance and control along the way to Shitou City. If Huan Xuan dares to really commit rebellion and force Jiankang to force Jiankang, Jiankang City will really not be able to save it, and we will have time to go to Shitou City again!"

"Your Majesty, your safety is the best. Wei Jie suggested that this extraordinary period, it is better to move to the Stone City in advance!" Wei Jie suggested again. This time, he not only tried to slow down his tone, but even used the word "you" for the first time!

However, Sima Yao was not grateful. He only heard Sima Yao say coldly: "Don't say it anymore, it's just decided. Now General Wei, you only need to do two things well!"

"First, continue to recruit new recruits, and at the same time train new recruits as soon as possible to improve their combat capabilities to strengthen Jiankang's own defense; second, we must control the important road from Jiankang to Shitou City, and do not let Huan Xuan's Jingzhou army break my retreat!"

Sima Yao's tone of speaking to Wei Jie at this time seemed familiar. When I think about it carefully, Sima Yao, Sima Daozi and Wang Gong used this tone to speak!

Wei Jie suddenly realized that in fact, in Sima Yao's heart, there was no difference between him and Sima Daozi and Wang Gong. If you insist on saying there was any difference, Wei Jie was just a chess piece used by Sima Yao to deal with Sima Daozi and Wang Gong!

For chess pieces, they are only available and not trustworthy!

Sima Yao not only did not trust the guards, but instead was guarding against Sima Daozi and Wang Gong. Jiankang was the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty and the imperial city were all just excuses. Sima Yao did not want to, nor did he dare to go to Shitou City, which was controlled by the assault camp of the Weijie!

If the Weijie has ulterior motives, Sima Yao will enter Shitou City and have no way out, and will completely become a puppet and chess piece of the Weijie!

As for this, Wei Jie was a little regretful, and did not think that there was anything wrong with Sima Yao's doing. To be fair, Wei Jie had actually known Sima Yao's final outcome for a long time. For Sima Yao, from beginning to end, he only had the intention to make use of it. Sima Yao's place on Wei Jie is actually a very wise approach!

However, Sima Yao's wisdom put him and the Wei rank in a passive state. Huan Xuan is not an ordinary person, and Hou Liangsheng around him is even more intelligent and stunning. If their target is both Jiankang and Sima Yao, there is no reason not to separate the connection between Shitou City and Jiankang City, so as to cut off Sima Yao's retreat!

It’s not that Sima Yao didn’t understand this principle, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked the Weijie to strengthen the vigilance of this important road and stayed in Jiankang. It was just a choice made by Sima Yao weighing the pros and cons. He just didn’t know whether this choice was made by himself or under Su Qiaoer’s guidance!
