"As long as you don't relax, it's fine. Our Sima family is a big family. We work under the lord's command, and we don't need to pass the Yangzhou imperial examination, and compete with some bitter people for opportunities." Sima Lang said, very disdainful of the imperial examination.

I am afraid that the aristocratic families in the world are very afraid of the imperial examination, this is to dig their roots!

This is one of the reasons why Liu Ke did not get the support of the people of the world. In a few years, it will turn into class antagonism.

"My brother doesn't know that the imperial examination is indeed beneficial to progress. The reason why Yangzhou can develop so fast is probably because all the poor families in the world are used by Dongyang Hou." Sima Yi said.

"A poor family is a poor family, what's the use? After my lord gathers the power of the world's aristocratic families, Yangzhou will be wiped out immediately." Sima Lang said.

Now the power of the aristocratic family is still very large, and they are the real ruling class.

It seemed that this topic was too serious, Sima Yi didn't continue, it would turn into a quarrel with his brother.

As the most obedient and hardworking child in the family, he couldn't be so ignorant, not to mention that his elder brother was already very tired from handling government affairs.

Sima Lang also realized his gaffe, and the brothers fell silent.

On the contrary, Sima Yi was quick-witted and changed the subject:

"Brother, what have you been up to lately? You leave early and return late every day."

Sima Lang sighed and said, "What else? Of course it's the Japanese mission that has been making a lot of noise recently. The Japanese didn't leave even after receiving the reward, but they stayed behind in a shameless manner, saying that they wanted to learn the culture of the Han Dynasty."

"This is Fanbang's treatment, what's there to worry about?" Sima Yi asked puzzled.

"When the Japanese are familiar with the situation in the world, the position of the lord will be embarrassing." Sima Lang sighed.

After research, it was suddenly discovered that the Marquis of Dongyang was the most powerful one, and Cao Cao was just a fox pretending to be a tiger.

How embarrassing is this?

Therefore, Sima Lang tried his best to drive the Japanese away, but the Japanese were very thick-skinned and couldn't hear all kinds of hints.

Is it really necessary to send troops to expel them like Dongyanghou?

But I just acted as a smiling face before, so it’s not good.

"Brother, the Japanese can be used!" Sima Yi said.

Sima Lang became interested. After all, this little brother has always been diligent and inquisitive. Could it be that he is still hiding his resourcefulness?

"Tell me, Zhongda, don't worry."

Sima Yi didn't start talking, but found something in the file.

"I found it, brother, look!"

Sima Lang stretched out his head and saw that it was a map of the Han Kingdom. Although it was very rough, the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty were clearly marked.

"Have you found out, brother? The territory of the Marquis of Dongyang is connected by a line, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou. They have a common feature, that is, they are close to the sea." Sima Yi analyzed.

Sima Lang nodded, thinking about what Sima Yi was going to say.

"The Marquis of Dongyang has always had no enemies at sea, and the only ones who can have the strength to fight against Marquis Dongyang at sea are the Japanese." Sima Yi said.

Sima Lang fell into deep thought.

"Brother, as long as you encourage the Japanese to make enemies with the Marquis of Dongyang, you will definitely be able to cause trouble for the Marquis of Dongyang. Because the sea is vast and boundless, bigger than the grassland, it will not be easy for the Marquis of Dongyang to find enemies," Sima Yi said.

Of course it is impossible to defeat Yangzhou. How could the Japanese do what Cao Cao could not do.

So, the focus is on making trouble.

Sima Lang thought for a while. Although Ma Teng was captured without a fight, the military power was handed over to his son Ma Chao.Even if Ma Teng is killed, a second Ma Teng will emerge, and the master's plan to seize Liangzhou has been put on hold.

At this time, Dongyang Marquis is constantly developing, and the gap between the two sides is widening.

Since it is impossible to attack Dongyanghou directly, it is the best way to use the Japanese to contain Dongyanghou.

Sima Lang suddenly understood this point. Recently, the Lord is worried about the affairs of Yangzhou. This plan must be in line with his wishes.

Thinking of this, Sima Lang's heart was about to move, and he said: "Zhongda, you are really a genius, when you are a little older, I will definitely recommend you to the lord!"

"Thank you, brother, for your help." Sima Yi cupped his hands.

Sima Lang sorted out his thoughts, fearing that he would forget any details, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and said, "Prepare the horse!"

He didn't even sit in the carriage, he was really impatient, Sima Yi couldn't help muttering, and then continued to read the book.

Sima Lang rode a tall horse and was caught three times by patrolling guards along the way, but he was let go after reporting himself to his family.

It's really bad luck, but for this plan, it's worth it!

The arrival of Sima Lang made Cao's mansion jump like a dog.

"Where is the lord?"

"In the study!" A servant led the way.

Soon Cao Cao also crawled out of the bed, which was the small nest he built in the study.

"Borda, is there anything you can't say tomorrow?"

"My lord, I have thought of a way to deal with Marquis Dongyang." Sima Lang said.

Cao Cao was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all, and said, "Good job, Boda, tell me quickly."

Sima Lang said it again.
