The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 241 Luoyang and Jianye ([-])

The Northern Expedition of the Shu Han began at the end of September.The Guan Yi team was the first to launch.However, due to geographical factors, when Guan Yi appeared on the Guanzhong Plain on the fifth day of October, Jiang Wei had already taken Xixian on the third day of October.

On the sixth day of October, Hu Fen received news of Jiang Wei's invasion and sent a messenger to Sima Wang in Guanzhong.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Sima Wang was forced to reach a compromise with the function of the bald tree when he received the news that Guan Yi had entered Guanzhong.And sent a report to Luoyang.

On the thirteenth, Hu Fen's emissary approached Mei County.Because Mei County has been occupied by the Shu Han army, he was forced to leave Weishui and take a detour to find Sima Wang.On the [-]th, I saw Sima Wang and got the reply.At the same time, Sima Wang sent another urgent report to Luoyang: The Shu thieves came in two ways this time, with an unprecedented total strength of more than [-]!

On the 7000th, Sima Wang and Guan Yi fought in Mei County and were defeated, losing about [-] soldiers and horses.Emergency to Luoyang again.

On the 25th, Shangbei fell. On the 26th, after Hu Fen received the news that Shangbei had fallen into the city, he immediately withdrew the [-] main force.At the same time, several waves of envoys were sent to Chang'an and Luoyang for emergency!
The war has started for more than 20 days, so what is the Jin court doing at this time?

Sima Wang's first report arrived in Luoyang on the [-]th.

Military and state affairs have always been higher than all general affairs of the empire.So Sima Wang's urgent report was placed on Sima Yan's desk less than half an hour after entering Luoyang.

After seeing tens of thousands of Guanyi troops entering the Guanzhong Plain, and Sima Wang himself deduced that the Shu thieves probably invaded from two routes this time.Sima Yan also felt that the matter was of great importance, so he had a rare large-scale meeting.

The so-called larger scope means that in addition to Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Yang Jun, Yang Jue and other cronies, Sima Fu, Shi Bao, He Zeng, Xun Yi and other old people who have been active in the political circles of the Wei and Jin Dynasties since the Sima Yi era .

"Your Majesty! This time, Xishu came from an empty country, and his determination is far greater than that of the thief Ge in the past. The old minister said something disrespectful. The previous princes in the court were all deceived by that little thief Guan Zifeng. You always think that Guan Zifeng will not lie to his allies, and always think that the Western Shu Kingdom is small and weak, and is reluctant to spend a season of spring plowing. Therefore, we think that even if the Western Shu is going to invade, it will be after the spring plowing... In short, this time the Western Shu invaded, We must never be careless! We must mobilize the elite of the whole country to deal with it!"

After briefly reading the report sent by Sima Wang, Da Sima Shibao immediately opened his mouth.But his words made Sima Yan frowned deeply.

Since Sima Zhao took over the ruling power of this country after his death, Sima Yan has been in power for more than two years.For more than two years, he instinctively didn't want to use Shi Bao, Chen Qian and other old people.The reason is that, on the one hand, it is true that the military power is concentrated in the hands of the Sima family, and on the other hand, as a son, it is possible that he has the idea of ​​not being different from his father: when I was a prince, I was around There are also many talents here.They are in charge of running the country, and they are doing worse than He Zeng, Xun Yi and others.Father, I will eventually surpass you and become the greatest monarch of this era.

Unfortunately, after more than two years, the results can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

With the implementation of household tax checks and land occupation orders, the country is indeed recovering slowly.But the recovery is too slow, and the policy implementation time is too short.Although the effect has been seen, it will take a certain amount of time to obtain greater benefits.What's more, those who are in charge of all this are actually Sima Zhao's team back then: Pei Xiu and Jia Chong.

And the real ones belonged to Sima Yan's team?He Qiao and Zhang Hua did well at Shangshutai, but they were under Pei Xiu's leadership.If you really want to be alone, your family background and qualifications are not enough.And what about the Yang family?Forget it, it has been half a year since General Chen Qian went to Shangyong, and the reports back and forth are all "rotten."And this was all done by Qian Liju of the Yang family.

But no matter what, Sima Yan was still very upset to be taught by an old man who was promoted by his grandfather and had basically nothing to do with him.

"Your Majesty, the Shu thieves are attacking this time. Its strategy is the strategy of the Ge thieves when they first invaded more than 30 years ago. Although Luoyang has not received any battle reports from Longxi, the old minister can be sure. The side is the main force! Compared with the 30 years, the Shu thief’s invasion is slightly different. The Shu thief’s national power at this time is stronger than when Ge thief was in power. There are a lot more divisions along the way. So I dared to leave the entrance of the Xiegu Valley and enter the Guanzhong Plain. But no matter what, the national strength of the Shu thieves is still far less than that of my Dajin. Therefore, their main goal must be to swallow Longxi. Therefore, Jieting! Jieting! That is the key to this battle! I beg your Majesty to give me [-] elite soldiers, and I am willing to imitate the story of Zhang Junyi and rush to help Jieting immediately!"

After listening to Shi Bao's words, Sima Yan remained silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, what Da Sima said is as precious as gold. Your minister Pei Xiu agrees!"

The military strategy of a cartographer is not bad, although he has not been on the battlefield much.But when Shi Bao said that this war was actually a replica of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition in the past, Pei Xiu also immediately found the key point of this war.

"Your Majesty, minister Jia Chong seconded the proposal!"

Don't look at Jia Gonglu doing such a stupid thing in order to add trouble to the Yang family, the political opponent, but the Jia family is really tied to the Sima family.If Liangzhou is lost, will Yongzhou be lost?Yongzhou is lost, what about the Central Plains?The Central Plains is lost, the Sima family is finished, and the Jia family is also finished?
Therefore, although Jia Chong didn't like Shi Bao, he also clearly expressed his support for Shi Bao at this time: After all, after the general Chen Qian was trapped in Shangyong, Shi Bao was already the most capable fighter in the court of Jin. commander in chief.

but……

"I remember, earlier this year, when hearing the news that the Shu thieves were about to attack, Shang Shuling recommended Prince Anping's son to lead the army to support Guanzhong, right?"

"Your Majesty!" Pei Xiu became impatient when she heard Sima Yan's words, "Your Majesty, there is a difference between this time and that time. There is a gap between the temple calculations at that time and the current situation. So I think..."

"Hey, Shang Shuling, the exact news of Longxi has not yet come, and the scale of the invasion of Shu thieves is still unclear. Therefore, what I mean is to order Prince Anping to start preparations and lead the army as soon as possible according to the previous discussion. [-] Chinese troops to support Guanzhong."

"Uh...obey the order."

However, when Sima Yong started to prepare for sending troops. On the 21st, Sima Wang's envoy entered Luoyang again: "The general Sima Wang, the general of the west, sent an urgent report! Death penalty! The minister led an army of [-] to fight with the Shu thief chief Guan Yi [-] in Mei County. The enemy was rampant, and Wang Shi was unfortunate Defeated! Mei County has been lost, and Chang'an is in danger! Your Majesty, please send troops quickly to support! Also! Shu bandits sent troops this time, and their cavalry has a new outfit, called double-sided stirrups. It is urgently needed in the army to make a large number of craftsmen!"

Sima Yan was shocked when he received this report. Before he had time to convene another court meeting, another urgent report entered Luoyang in the middle of the night on the 21st.

"Chen Zhenxi, General Hu Fen, report urgently! Death penalty and death penalty! On the third day of October, the enemy chieftain Jiang Wei led [-] troops into Longxi. Xi County has been lost, and Shangyu is besieged. The minister's troops are powerless to rescue him. Weeping blood pleads with the court, Chang'an quickly send troops to support!"

……

"12! 12! A small country can send 12 troops!"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to marvel at the strength of the enemy. The current battle situation is extremely dangerous. If Shangbi is lost, Guangwei County will be in danger! Although this county has a small household registration and low production, the key is that Jieting is here!"

"Ah?!" Sima Yan, who was no longer map-blind, of course knew the importance of the street pavilion, and when he heard Pei Xiuyi say that the street pavilion was about to be lost, he panicked all of a sudden: "Shang Shuling, what should we do? !"

Alas, if you had listened to Shi Bao's words ten days ago and directly mobilized [-] Chinese troops, what would happen now?

"Your Majesty, only the 3 people who have packed up in Luoyang are the 3 people that Prince Anping is going to bring out. Therefore, for the present plan, the only way is to let Prince Anping lead these 3 people to set off quickly. After the [-] people go west, , don’t go to Chang’an, don’t go to Mei County, but get to Jieting as soon as possible!”

"Quintessence! Maoxian, draw up an order immediately and let Uncle Yong go immediately!"

Glancing at Zhang Hua who began to sharpen the ink quickly, Pei Xiu glanced at Jia Chong again, and received a slight signal from Jia Chong.Pei Xiu gritted his teeth, and took a step towards Sima Yan: "I don't know why Your Majesty doesn't want to see Shi Zhongrong, but there is no doubt that Shi Zhongrong is the most experienced general in commanding a large army in the court today. When the country is in trouble, Such a good general should not be wasted in the court!"

"Your Majesty, what Shang Shuling said comes from the bottom of my heart! Minister Jia Chong agrees!"

"Your Majesty, my minister Yang Jun (Yang Yao) seconded the proposal!"

It should be said that although there are already signs of party struggle in the Jin Dynasty, it is only a sign.When the country really encounters major troubles, everyone still thinks about how to do things well.

"Hey, then Xuanshi Zhongrong come here quickly."

"Your Majesty is wise, and I will obey the order!"
