Chapter 353 Sima Yis Potential (2/2)
Ju Shou: ”I can't find a better move than this. Please arrange your troops according to your son, sir Sima.”
Sima Fang was speechless by their quick reaction and answers.
Sima Fang: ”Are you sure? He's only eight this year, and he has never led a troop.”
Li Feihong: ”I think you should follow your son's suggestion. He's right in a sense. We don't want him to forcefully conscript soldiers from Fagan County or nearby counties even if they will weaken their remaining resistance forces.”
Li Feihong: ”I've picked up and carrying Mountaineer, Ghost, and the Immortal Legion with me. I'm at Liyang ATM. Do you want me to deploy any force in any location?”
Ju Shou: ”Deploy our Ghost at Liyang, please. Have Zhang He follow Gongsun Du from behind. Also, please move ahead to Fagan County and place the Mountaineer there. Send Zhang Liao to take over Fagan County before Gongsun Du's forces arrive. As for senior Sima, you don't have to move east. Please continue barricading the northern lines.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Li Feihong: ”Will do.”
Again, Sima Fang was astonished by their quick response and efficiency, especially Li Feihong's ability to transfer troops with his teleportation skills.
'Military wise, their foundation is solid, but their domestic improvement and human assets can't keep up with the expansion. We need more talented officers to govern these cities and counties.'
'Once Zhang Tong returns, I will ask him to transfer Lu Zhi and Ju Shou to the domestic division. We have more than enough talented strategists.'
Sima Fang turned to his son, ”We'll follow what you suggested. If this campaign succeeds, I'll give this credit to you.”
The child shook his head, ”No need! I enjoy working behind the scenes. I don't want a promotion or a position in the court.”
Sima Fang's frown deepened as he stared into the eyes of Sima Yi.
”Why?”
”Getting recognition is fine, but getting too much attention to oneself is bad. It attracts jealousy, envy, and troubles!”
Listening to his son's weird vision, Sima Fang mouth curled in a faint smile.
”You sounded like you were an elite politician. Where did you learn that?”
”Err, I observed everyone in the court and came up with this myself. I've seen too many infighting among the officers lately, and the source of the conflicts are mostly petty reasons.”
”…”
Sima Fang wanted to comment and compliment his son, but he chose not to. Since Sima Yi had an interesting mindset for a politician, the old father would not spoil it or let Sima Yi get on his high horse.
Then, Sima Fang recalled that he had just reported that this idea came from his son. He smacked his forehead in regret.
'I'm stupid. I shouldn't have bragged it to the others.'
Even if Sima Fang was always serious and stern, the pride of having a good son got the better of him, and his tongue slipped.
'I need to control myself more.'
Little did he know, Tong, Friday, Li Feihong, and Te Langpu had been keeping tabs on his family. Everything they did was under their surveillance.
.
All their conversation in the clan chat did not escape Tong's eyes.
He had recovered from his grieve over Hua Shi and He Xing's death, and he was recollecting his future plans. Then, Sima Yi was mentioned during this chaotic period.
'I wonder if he's usable now. Should I use him before he comes of age?'
