The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 390 Reversal of Situation ([-])

It was late at night, but the meeting hall of Da Sima Mansion was still brightly lit.

"At the end of today's court meeting, His Majesty actually proposed the Eastern Expedition. It seems that the plan is not small."

The so-called plan is not small, of course, it is not that Emperor Liu Chan has the ambition of Hunyi at this time, but that Guan Yi can leave the court center for a long time again, so that he can more conveniently go up and down and prepare for the future coup.

"Great Sima, although His Majesty's remarks are based on another consideration. But I have to say, judging from the situation that my subordinates have grasped. Since I, a big man, still seem to be able to handle the combined attack of Jin and Wu this time, There is a somewhat blindly optimistic mood in the ruling and opposition parties. The call for an immediate eastward march is estimated to ring out in the court hall in the near future."

The person who said this was Lv Ya, the commander of the news department. As an official in charge of intelligence and public opinion, what he said really gave Guan Yi a headache.

On the surface, it seems that yes, facing the attacks of Jin and Wu, Ji Han won all four battlefields without using his main force.However, these four places are all very specific—for example, Nanzhong and Fuling County, which are the most popular places for the Jihan government or the Fuxingshe. It is of course the right time and place to fight defensively in these two places People and all are on their side.But what about attacking from here?That's really hard to say.Didn't you see militants like Wang Qi rushing to build checkpoints after taking down Cangwu County, and didn't want to go further north?
The two countries of Jin and Wu still have considerable power at this time.Offensively, it may fall short in certain circumstances, but defensively it is still more than adequate.

As far as Ji Han himself is concerned, it is unlikely that there will be a drought this year, but the drought is not easy at all.Moreover, Ji Han's power reserve at this time is still somewhat insufficient.At least at this time, Guan Yi didn't think about expanding the army.The army has not been expanded, but Ji Han now has 10,000+ troops, how to make a large-scale eastward march?
Not only that, Ji Han also has considerable hidden dangers inside.

According to Guan Yi's thinking, it would be best if the emperor couldn't stand his loneliness and caused trouble during the Jin-Wu joint attack.Some of the larger and ambitious alien tribes in Guanzhong couldn't stand loneliness and caused troubles.Some aristocratic families whose interests have been damaged also took this opportunity to attack.After these guys showed up, he cleaned up all these things, and the interior was relatively clean.No longer concentrate on preparing for the Eastern Expedition.Only in that way can we get twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the emperor, foreign race, and aristocratic family were all very quiet during the nearly half a year-long war.This made him very depressed: if others don't make trouble, it's not easy for him to operate.

"Hey, Zhong Le, Shuji Neng, Yao Kehui and these guys are really quiet during this time?"

"Of course. Da Sima, his subordinate Si Wencao is doing his best to monitor these alien leaders. But in the past few months, let alone connecting with each other or taking actual actions. Even the number of envoys coming and going is very small."

"...It seems that although the Xinxing King jumps up and down is very conspicuous. But our Majesty is very calm."

After Guan Yi said this, he was not surprised at all: as a person who was very interested in this period of history before time travel.Guan Yi knew very well that Liu Chan was a very smart person.For such a person, it is true that if you don't move, you must have already grasped it if you move.

Therefore, he had to continue other work, and continue to show his flaws to this intelligent but cautious emperor.

"Everyone, the battle situation in various places has almost been clarified. The next step is how to communicate with the Jin and Wu countries, and the three parties will completely stop the war and stop the war."

After Guan Yi opened up this topic, everyone in the hall unconsciously frowned.

Jin and Wu, Jin is relatively easy: this time the Sima family lost only people and no land.Although Cao Wei who raised the flag was not suppressed, he lost a lot of political points.But for political significance, if you value it, it is everything, and if you ignore it, it is nothing.And after this battle, the Sima family must have a process of summarizing and regathering their strength.Therefore, on the Jin side, it can be ignored.

The more troublesome thing is Soochow.

Soochow's loss this time was the heaviest.Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, three and a half counties were lost.Such a loss, let alone Sun Hao, who has a strong personality now.Even Sun Xiu, who used to be lukewarm, probably couldn't get rid of this face, so he wouldn't just admit it.

After this battle, Ji Han's strength is bound to leave a deep psychological shadow on the two countries.Jin State and Wu State will be much less careful about each other.The alliance between the two countries must be further deepened.Therefore, Wu Guo was able to deploy more troops to attack Ji Han for the second time.

Of course, with Yong'an's defense and the aspirations of the people in Fuling County and Nanzhong.Ji Han is not afraid of Soochow's second attack.But the crux of the problem is that now Ji Hanxin has acquired three and a half counties.Moreover, the three southern counties of Jiaozhou have the seaport that Ji Han dreamed of... What Guan Yi is thinking about now is how to reach a peace agreement with Soochow and properly digest the territory of these three and a half counties.

Therefore, Da Sima really doesn't want to fight anymore.

In the hall, everyone pondered quietly for a while.Ma Guo raised his head: "Da Sima, this subordinate has an idea."

"Well, what's the trick to change it?"

"Great Sima, fellow colleagues. On the surface, Sun Hao appears to have a strong character, but in fact he is ruthless and soft-hearted. Therefore, the subordinates thought that it should be so..."

"Hahaha, Shan, let's arrange it like this over there. Xingzong, I have to trouble you to go to Jianye again."

"No, the next officer takes orders!"

……

On the other side, Luoyang.

After the news of Sima Jun's defeat came back, the Luoyang government and the public were in an uproar.After everyone regained their senses, clans and aristocratic families gathered together to write a letter, demanding that the country send another large army to carry out a second attack.

Everyone knows that after the country's defeat, the little strength it had just recovered lost a lot.It's really not good to send troops again.When the Luoyang government was in the hands of the poor place in the three counties of Shangyong, the taxes received from it were close to nothing after deducting the salaries of the officials there.Why bother to continue to invest so much capital there?

But no one is stupid: the suppression of the remnants of Cao Wei is absolutely politically correct.Such a roar at this time is a must in the officialdom.Not to mention ministers like Jia Chong who are completely tied to the Sima family and can never get off the car.

To be honest, the most depressing thing about Shangyong's defeat was not Sima Yan, but Jia Chong.

When Cao Wei just raised the flag, Jia Chong had nothing to do with this matter.But when the news of Shangyong's defeat came, Jia Cheqi was so frightened that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

Therefore, Jia Cheqi's attitude at this meeting is completely different from that of Pei Xiu and others: Your Majesty, we must send troops again!You can ignore other places, but you must not let the Cao family stand up!

Unfortunately, Sima Yan is not stupid.He really didn't want to fight anymore.

But the emperor didn't want to fight, but he couldn't take the initiative to say no.Therefore, at the court meeting on this day, facing the yelling and beating of civil and military officials in the court, he turned his eyes to Sima You helplessly.

"Brother Huang, what do you think I am doing? You want me, the younger brother, to come out and take the blame for you?" Although Sima You was a very public-minded person.But he was not so selfless: as long as he said no to fighting, Sima Yan would follow suit.But in this way, his reputation will be completely ruined.

But now Sima Yan was just looking at him eagerly, forcing him to be extremely helpless.

Not only Sima Yan looked at him, but also Pei Xiu, Du Yu and others looked at him eagerly: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang, hurry up and say no more fights."Otherwise, the little vitality that the country has just recovered will be wasted again.After all, our surname is not Sima, so we cannot bear this responsibility.You can!

"Your Majesty, I am young and ignorant about whether to send troops again, so I dare not comment. But there are still seniors in my Sima family, why don't you ask King Anping for his opinion?"

After all, Sima You inherited the excellent genes of his mother Wang Yuanji, and Sima You, who was forced to the corner, had a flash of inspiration and successfully dumped the blame on Sima Fu.

Well, Sima Fu is now in his 90s, just one breath more than a dead man.And he is also the winner of the Film Industry Lifetime Achievement Award: the loyal minister of Cao Wei who has pretended all his life.If you ask his opinion, do you have to guess what he said?
As soon as Sima You said this, no matter if it was Sima Yan, Du Yu or Pei Xiu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Even those ministers who shouted and killed to show their loyalty just now quickly died down.

Just as Guan Yi expected, the Sima family just needed a step down.So when Sima You carried Sima Fu out, the people of Jin didn't think much about Shangyong for the time being.The brief peace between Han and Jin came.

As for Sun Wu.In May 270 AD, Zhuge Jing went to Jianye again and dug a big hole for Sun Hao.
