The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 208 A Feast for Crows ([-])
In December of AD 265, Sima Liang, king of Runan, the highest official in Jingzhou of the Jin Dynasty, received Bu Chan's letter of surrender.

After Sima Liang received this letter, he did not dare to prescribe it, and immediately reported it to the emperor's nephew in Luoyang City.After Sima Yan received the report, he happily called his cronies to a meeting to discuss.

"Your Majesty, this is not feasible. It has not been half a year since our country and Soochow signed an alliance. If we accept the surrender of the Bu family at this time, it will undoubtedly cause Soochow to break off diplomatic relations with me."

The first to stand up to express opposition was the chariot general Jia Chong.Mr. Jia Gonglu has always been known for being good at flattering and currying leaders, but at this time he was the first to jump out and object.This shows how much he doesn't want to accept the move in his heart.

"Hehehe, when did Jia Cheqi attach so much importance to the covenant? As Emperor Wen (Sima Zhao) said, isn't the only value of the covenant to be torn up? It is precisely because our country signed the covenant with Soochow, so this Only by accepting Xiling at the right time can it be regarded as a surprise!"

No need to guess, the person who said this must be General Zhenjun, Marquis of Linjin Yang Jun.

Now the center of the Jin state has faint signs of party struggle.

Among them, Shang Shuling Pei Xiu and Chariot General Jia Chong belonged to the same party.As an old man who walked all the way from Sima Zhao's General's Mansion.The one these two look down on the most is Yang Jun: Where were you when we were helping Emperor Wen in his struggles? !How?Think your son-in-law wants to replace us when he becomes emperor?Wait another ten years!
As for Yang Jun, he also looked down on these two people in his heart: what are you two?Wenxi Pei?Hedong Jia's? What kind of weak chicken families are TM's?How can it compare with our Hongnong Yang family's fourth generation and third father?In the early years, because I was Sima Yan's father-in-law, I had to lie on my stomach before he came to power.Now my son-in-law is the emperor!You are still occupying the position, you are the ones who deserve to die!

The Taizu of this dynasty once said that there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.How can a political group really be a united whole?There will definitely be no shortage of internal infighting.In many cases, these battles are very necessary: ​​he will help everyone to be vigilant at all times and constantly improve themselves-the so-called life in sorrow and death in peace is also true.In this regard, Guan Yi's Fuxing Society did a good job: Yuancong, Jingzhou people, Dongzhou people, and Yizhou people all crowded in the Fuxing Society.If you want to get the approval of the chairman, then work hard to show results, this is healthy competition.

But it's not good to be caught up in party disputes: it doesn't matter if things are right or wrong, in short, I will support what you oppose.What you support, I must oppose.This was the case in Soochow's Nanlu party struggle in the past, and Soochow was greatly hurt by it.

"Hehehe. Marquis of Jin, this is not a matter of breaking up relations. The problem is that Xiling is the place of the Fourth World War. If we swallow Xiling, we will face the peaks of Wu and Shu. At that time, Who will clean up the mess? Marquis of Jin, you?"

Undoubtedly, after Zhong Hui left, in the small circle of the central government of Jin, the most strategic person was Shang Shuling Pei Xiu.So he raised a key question: how to keep it after accepting it?
"Hmph! Shang Shuling, this is not an easy matter. Wouldn't it be good if the Jingzhou army collectively moved south? For many years, the Jingzhou navy of my Jin Dynasty can only practice in the Han River. The waters of the Han River are worse than the Yangtze River. It's much narrower. If things go on like this, how can we train a real navy. If we can win Xiling, our Jinzhou navy can really enter the Yangtze River! Only in this way can we lay the foundation for the future destruction of Wu!"

Of course it was not Yang Jun who could say these words.Hongnong Yang's family has a long history.Although it is unfortunate that there is a guy like Yang Jun who does not know how to advance or retreat and is indecisive.But after all, the background is there, so every generation of Yang's descendants must have very outstanding talents.

Yang Ye, who is currently leading the army, is Yang Jun's second younger brother.On the plane of history, he saw early the family's genocide crisis when the power of the Jin Dynasty was all over the place.He has repeatedly advised his elder brother Yang Jun to cherish blessings and restrain himself.Try to make up for the various wrong actions of Yang Jun during his administration.He also single-handedly promoted Ma Long, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty... It is a pity that when Yang Jun was wiped out by Jananfeng in the end, he was also buried with him.

Of course, at this time, the Yang family is still suppressed by Pei Xiu and Jia Chong.So at this time, of course he wanted to help his elder brother get up as soon as possible.

"Oh, what Wen Ju said is very reasonable." Well, Sima Yan's leadership ability is not as good as his father's.Before the subordinates finished expressing their opinions, they spoke first.

What are Pei Xiu and Jia Chong?Proven superpolitician.As soon as Sima Yan said this, they understood what the emperor was thinking.

Hey, brat, your father died less than a year ago.Did you just forget what he said? "Don't rush to earn military merits to enhance your prestige just because the new dynasty is established." Have you really forgotten this sentence?

Forget it, let's not talk, okay?When Xiling is taken down, you will know how much trouble you have caused!
"Then pass the decree to let the king of Runan strengthen contact with Bu Zhongsi, and at the same time formulate a plan to send troops to respond."

"According to the order."

So, the ball turned around, and now it returned to the Jingzhou Legion of Jin State.

Now the Jingzhou Legion of Jin State, its main officials are these people.

The commander-in-chief, Sima Liang, king of Runan and general of Zhennan, sits in Xinye.

The former enemy commander, General Yanglie Wang Hun, sits in Xiangyang.His guard is Hu Lie who was released by Guan Yi.

The logistics commander, Governor of Jingzhou, General Annan, and Hou Yanghu of Juping, sit in Nanyang.He joined the army with Liu Fu, a native of Nanyang (the great-great-grandson of this person is Liu Bin, one of the Eight Gentlemen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties).

The entire Jingzhou Army of the Jin State had 263 people before 5.Later, Sima Zhao launched the War to Exterminate Shu, and Liu Qin took away [-].The Wei-Jin Zen Dynasty had just ended at this time, and there was no time to reinforce this army, so the Jingzhou Army at this time only had more than [-] people.

In January 266, Sima Liang, who received an order from Luoyang, convened an enlarged meeting of senior officials of the Jingzhou Legion in Xinye.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Xiling is a sharp knife stuck in the heart of Jingzhou, the Great Jin Dynasty. Today, because of the internal problems of Wu, such a good opportunity has appeared. It must not be let go. Therefore, His Majesty's order is , to strengthen liaison with the Bu family, and at the same time, the Jingzhou Legion must mobilize and be ready to go south to accept Xiling at any time."

After Sima Liang said these words, many other senior Jingzhou officials in the venue frowned.

"Your Majesty, the general will have an empathy at the end."

"Oh, uncle, what's the matter? But it's okay to talk about it."

"Your Majesty, it has been five months since the last general came to Jingzhou to take office with Your Majesty, and I have a little understanding of Jingzhou's civil affairs. The current situation in Jingzhou is extremely unfavorable. It is really not suitable to use weapons now."

"Oh, my uncle actually said that, can you elaborate?"

"No. Your Majesty, in Jingzhou under my Jin Dynasty, the Han River was flooded last year and flooded tens of thousands of mu of fertile land. Gradually stabilized, especially after the intersection with the Yangtze River gradually merged into one, which contributed to the emergence of the city of Wuhan). Moreover, two or three years ago, Liu Taishou dispatched away [-] of Jingzhou's most elite soldiers, and now these soldiers All the soldiers were stranded in Chang'an and failed to return to the building. The families of these soldiers were also extremely dissatisfied. At the same time, since there had been no major wars in the Jingzhou theater for many years, the arsenal was relatively empty. If there was a real war, the inventory of bows and arrows might not be enough for a ten-year period. Consume!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although the general has been in Jingzhou for a long time, he has an inescapable responsibility for the issues that my uncle said just now. But the general still has to admit that what my uncle said is reasonable. Before the flood of the Han River can be completely eradicated, our Great Jin The livelihood of the people in Jingzhou has never been stable. It cannot support the long-term battle of our Jingzhou Legion."

"Hey, although I'm not an official close to the people, I've come to Jingzhou for so many days, and I've heard some of the following situations. I don't think it's a good thing to accept the surrender of the Bu family at this time. But..."

What follows is what Sima Liang didn't say.Everyone knew in their hearts: His Majesty the Emperor had just ascended the throne, and urgently needed to open up territories to demonstrate the legitimacy of his kingdom—especially after the Sima family returned to the throne after a major defeat in Western Shu, this urgency became even stronger.

"Hey, what the widow means is that His Majesty's orders must be carried out. How about this, Xuan Chong (Wang Hun) and Xuan Wu (Hu Lie) prepare their troops and horses. Uncle, strengthen ties with the Bu family. Money and food , A battle of weapons, the Jingzhou soldiers in Chang'an are Guijian or something, I will go to Luoyang to file a lawsuit against you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding me."

"Otherwise, since everyone is working together, of course we have to help each other."
