When Mao Jie asked this, Sima Yi suddenly realized something, and he became excited.

Could it be...

He couldn't help it and immediately answered Mao Jie.

"Yes, there are eight brothers in Xiaguan's family, Xiaguan ranks second."

Sima Yi nodded with inexplicable emotions.

"In addition to your brother Sima Boda, you have six younger brothers. The burden on you is not light. Zhongda, you have suffered."

Mao Jie smiled and said, "The current state governor and county magistrate have been greatly restricted. It is not as easy as the former Han Dynasty to recruit subordinates, but there are still some positions that can be chosen by me.

If you have any brothers who want to become officials in Luoyang, it is not easy to become an official in Luoyang, and you don’t dislike my Liangzhou, which is located in a remote and cold climate, then let him come to Liangzhou. For me, at least you can get an errand, right?”

After Mao Jie said this, Sima Yi immediately looked at Mao Jie with surprise.

"What the envoy said...be serious?"

"What am I lie to you?"

Mao Jie nodded: "This time the investigation team came to investigate the case, and my governor's mansion also needs to conduct a good review. There will be a shortage of staff. I am worried that there is no place to replenish staff, so I still have to do things here.

But after this review, I found that people around me really couldn't choose casually, otherwise they wouldn't know when their hands would be unclean, but I didn't know anything.

Zhongda, the chief officer cannot be deceived. I also want to know something, but not many people can believe it. If your brother can come, I must believe it, and it can be considered as helping me."

Mao Jie smiled and extended an olive branch to Sima Yi.

Of course it was not his turn for Zhuge's family, but the Sima's family was still a little hopeful.

They are all former officials of the Guo family, and their future prospects are worth promising.

Sima Yi was very happy, and the heaviness in his original heart was immediately swept away, and the rest was full of relaxation.

"If this is true, that envoy is my benefactor! Sima Yi thanks the envoy!"

Sima Yi bowed solemnly to Mao Jie and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.

"Hahahahaha! No need to do this, no need to do this, Zhongda is a talent, and his future prospects are limitless."

Mao Jie helped Sima Yi up, his face full of optimism and encouragement for him.

Obviously, for him, it is beneficial to use the power in his hands to encourage and win over Sima's family.

Sima Yi's future will not be unclear. After all, he is also from a cabinet and an old official of the Guo family.

What kind of reward can you get in the future if you try to help?

Mao Jie doesn't know it yet, but his keen intuition tells him that he will definitely not suffer any losses.

On the way to leave the governor's mansion and return to Guangzhi County, Sima Yi still did not come back from absolute joy.

Because he is really happy, very happy.

He envied Zhuge Liang, and what he envied was his background.

He believed that because of this background, Zhuge Liang had the courage to do whatever he wanted, the confidence to do whatever he wanted, and the courage to do everything he wanted.

It was just because his brother was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Zhang Zhao, the Minister of Personnel, had a good relationship with his family.

All this is not available to the Sima family.

The eldest son of the Sima family even faced a serious social death due to Xun Yu's problem and almost lost the qualification to become an official.

The eldest son cannot become an official, so the Sima family is now supported by Sima Yi.

If Sima Yi cannot open up the situation now, he will not be able to give his six younger brothers the opportunity to become an official, and he will not be able to restore his family.

The Sima family is a scholarly family that has successfully transformed. It is such a rare thing. If you lose the opportunity to prosper due to political factors, you will be simply sorry for your ancestors.

In the past, Sima Yi did not have as deep confidence as Zhuge Liang, but now, he has at least part of it.

Through Mao Jie, he seemed to have some confidence.

Although Mao Jie did not hold power in the central government, as long as Mao Jie could enter the central government, he would definitely be a member of the central government.

The relationship between Mao Jie and Chen Gong, Cao, and officials from Yanzhou, as well as his own qualifications, all determine that Mao Jie has the qualification to enter the central government to call the wind and rain.

Let the Sima family get Mao Jie's help, let one or two younger brothers become Mao Jie's old official, and continue to follow the route of Guo's old official, giving the Sima family a way out. This is the reward for Sima Yi's adventure this time.

This reward is something that many people can't get even if they squeeze their heads.

And he got it.

At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly felt like the sky was high and the birds were flying wide and the sea was leaping.

Although I feel a little sorry for Zhuge Liang, but...

Didn't he suffer any losses?

I guess he doesn't care about such things. He can continue to be good friends in the future, right?

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and what he saw in his eyes was an infinitely beautiful future.

What such a wonderful future represents is that he can be on par with Zhuge Liang.

On an equal footing with Zhuge Liang, doing what he wants to do will not feel as angry as before.

Yes, that's it.

With the backstage, I can be like Zhuge Liang.

Sure!

This is what Sima Yi saw.

At this moment, far away in Luoyang City, what Guo saw in his eyes was a fierce collision future.

In order to build a complete skeleton for the Wei Empire as soon as possible and plan a future route for this empire, Guo really has a lot to do.

What he is currently preparing for is the Northern Expedition to the Grassland.

The Northern Expedition to the Grassland should be done sooner rather than later, and the Xianbei people should not be given too much time to rest.

The Wei army needed to enter the grassland in one fell swoop, to wipe out all Xianbei people, completely eliminate the threat of the grassland to the Central Plains, and then build an animal husbandry economic zone to control the grassland for a long time.

In this way, we will eliminate the threat from the north before the small glacier fully arrives, and then concentrate our efforts on dealing with the threat brought by the small glacier.

After destroying the Xianbei in the north, the biggest hidden danger of the Wei Empire in the future no longer exists.

The threat and impact of the Xianbei during the Tanshihuai period to the Eastern Han Empire was really great. If Tanshihuai had not died early and the descendants and company were very incompetent, the Xianbei Empire at that time would really threaten the strength of the Central Plains regime.

And all this was also caused by the Eastern Han Empire itself.

In the 21st year of the founding of Wu of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the Xianbei, as a servant of the Huns, followed the Xiongnu invaded the border. Therefore, the Xianbei was known as a national entity to the Central Plains dynasty.

After the Huns split, the Xianbei people gradually got rid of their control. During the reign of Emperor Zhang of Han, the Xianbei attacked the Huns twice and resisted the oppression of the Huns on them.

Then, it was not until the third year of Yongyuan of Emperor He of Han that the Northern Xiongnu, which was attacked by the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu, were forced to move to Central Asia, and the Xianbei people took the opportunity to occupy the grassland and gradually grew and grew.

Mr. Guo always believed that Dou Xian had achieved great tactical success in the Northern Huns, making Leshi Yanran and Fenglang Juxu a peak of the Han nationality's military achievements together, but in terms of strategy, this was a major mistake.

This war directly led to the rise of the Xianbei.

After becoming emperor, Guo Peng took the time to read the records of this history in the official collection of the Eastern Han government, and more clearly determined that this war was a strategic misjudgment.

Dou Xian's strong initiative to attack the Northern Huns was not for some military purpose, but a political adventure.

Because Dou Xian had a grudge with Liu Chang, the favorite minister of Empress Dowager Dou, he sent someone to assassinate Liu Chang and tried to blame Cai Lun. As a result, the matter fell and he was imprisoned in the palace.

In order to save his life and maintain his power, Dou Xian had no choice.

Of course, Empress Dowager Dou would not really give up on her excellent descendants in her family.

No matter how much I favor Liu Chang, the empress dowager will naturally rely on her relatives to rule, and on her blood descendants.

So even though Empress Dowager Dou is angry, she still has to protect Dou Xian.

But Dou Xian was so arrogant that he assassinated the enemy and aroused public anger. If he could kill Liu Chang today, who knew that he would not kill anyone else in the future?

Isn't this a death sentence?

The public was invaded by the anger, and Empress Dowager Dou had to imprison him in the palace. On the one hand, he was teaching him a lesson, and on the other hand, he was protecting him.

Although I really want to let him go, I can't be blatant and can only think of other ways, otherwise Dou Xian would probably die on the spot as soon as he went out.

Apologizing for death by military merit is a good way.

There was a Han Dynasty who had the most military achievements. If you redeem your death with military achievements, it would be feasible.

At that time, the Southern Xiongnu Khan happened to submit a request to attack the Northern Xiongnu, so Dou Xian and Empress Dowager Dou seized this opportunity to prepare for the Northern Xiongnu attack to allow Dou Xian to obtain military merits to hedge against his former death penalty.

After this news appeared, the Eastern Han Dynasty court held a fierce debate on whether to crack down on the Northern Huns, and many people opposed it.

In that environment at that time, the Huns were no longer as glorious as when they were at their peak.

At that time, the Huns had split into the northern and southern Huns. The Southern Huns surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Northern Huns continued to stay in the desert. Their population was greatly reduced and their power declined greatly.

It can be said that whether from economic, military or political perspectives, the Northern Huns and the Eastern Han Empire were no longer at the same level of weight.

The Eastern Han government forces attacked the Northern Huns like a strong adult beating a naughty child. The Northern Huns had almost no possibility of war against the Eastern Han Empire.

Against this background, Shangshu Song Yi strongly opposed Dou Xian's Northern Expedition.
