The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 467 Helpless Jin Chen ([-])

"Ah! Ah~~! Ah!!!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? Your Majesty?!"

"The child is not filial, the child is not filial! Damn it! I am really ashamed of my ancestors!"

"Your Majesty! You are dreaming, don't take it seriously, wake up, wake up!"

Counting nine winters, late at night, in Luoyang, in Sima Yan's bedroom, under the constant care of Empress Yang Yan, Sima Yan finally woke up from the nightmare.

"Qiongzhi, is that you?"

"Your Majesty, Zitong is here."

"Huh~~ It turned out to be just a dream."

Yang Yan got up at this time, found a silk scarf, and gently wiped the cold sweat off Sima Yan's body: "What did your majesty dream about?"

"Hey, what else can there be. It's just that my grandfather, uncle, and father asked me in my dream why I didn't take good care of the country they left behind."

"...Your Majesty, people are like a country, and a country is like a person. It's normal to have ups and downs. After all, the Great Jin Dynasty is the orthodox world blessed by the heavens. As long as we get through this difficulty, everything will be fine."

"Hehe..." Gently stroked Yang Yan's face, looking at this woman who had given birth to six children one after another since she was 17 years old, resulting in a very weak woman.Sima Yan only felt peace in his heart.

Perhaps, only in front of the queen can I show such a weak side.

"Your Majesty, are you slowing down? It's less than three o'clock at this time, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Forget it, I can't sleep anymore. Qiongzhi, go to bed first, I will sit in the study for a while."

After getting out of the bedroom, he took a deep breath of the cold air outside, and his spirit suddenly recovered: "Preach the decree and go to the imperial study. In addition, let King Qi, King Ruyin, Shang Shuling, General Cheqi, and Yang Pushe wait in the study See you."

"According to the order."

In such a cold night, no one would be happy to be suddenly called up from the warm bed by his own emperor.But when these people arrived at the study, Sima Yan's first question made them suddenly sober.

"Everyone, the general has been confronting Jiang Boyue in Jizhou for seven or eight months. What is he going to do?"

"Your Majesty!" Hearing what Sima Yan said, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong and the others felt extremely desolate in their hearts: It's over!The general has been hanging out alone with a heavy army for a long time, and what he fears most is that the emperor at home will become suspicious.The indecisive emperor actually said such words at this time, no doubt, he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the General was promoted by Emperor Xuan in the past, and he has successively held important positions in Yongliang, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other important places for many years. Although he may not be able to do everything very well in each term, he is absolutely conscientious. Such a person is the most loyal to Da Jin."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the General is the son of Situ Chen Jiao of the former Wei State. Although the Chen family of Guangling is not as prominent as the Chen family of Yingchuan, they are also ministers for many generations. How can such a person have any other thoughts about His Majesty? Woolen cloth?"

"But... since this summer, it will be the end of the year. Why is the general still confronting Jiang Boyue in Jizhou? I have given him 12 new recruits from Yuzhou, and even recruited Xiaoxing's elite in Tongguan. Give him [-] yuan. Now he has a total of [-] people! Why are you still standing there?"

"Your Majesty, we are replenishing the troops of the powerful general. Han Guo is also reinforcing Jiang Boyue's troops. According to reports, Han Guo has successively added 11 soldiers to enter Jizhou. Jiang Boyue's side is based on the careful calculation of Jin Zuo Cao. , Why is it around [-]. The strength of the two sides is actually about the same now! The general is now leading the last main force of my Great Jin, so we can’t be too cautious.”

"But... Hey, Shang Shuling, why are you speaking for the general again? In the court hall today, didn't you complain that more than [-] troops were outside, and the national grain depot was in dire straits, and it was already unsustainable? ?”

"Your Majesty!" On the basis of history, Pei Xiu died in 271.The cause of death at that time was that Wushi powder was taken with cold wine.In this plane, because the transmigrators made the Jin Kingdom miserable, Pei Shangshuling was usually so busy that he had no time to relax, so he was still alive at the moment.But in any case, his body had already collapsed due to too much fatigue in the early years, and the usual quarrels in the court were mostly done by his ally Jia Chong.But now when he heard Sima Yan's questioning in such an inconsequential way, he immediately jumped up.

"Your Majesty, the country has long supported more than 20 troops to fight abroad, and the treasury is indeed gradually empty. Before the war started last year, the country had more than 800 million shi of food in storage. Now, including the autumn grain that has been put into the warehouse this year, it is less than [-] million shi. Among them, the consumption of the army is not too much, and more is the deficit of various places in the past, which has been exposed after this battle. But! It is also true that the war situation is now at a stalemate. Combining the two, we must not just because the national grain depot is empty So I urged the generals and young masters in front to take the initiative to attack. The only thing we ministers in the rear can do is to do our best to find food everywhere to supply the army's needs."

Seeing that this veteran official who had been in Sima Yi's shogunate since he was 20 years old and assisted Sima Shi and Sima Zhao became angry at this time, Sima Yan was a little afraid in his heart, but he quickly asked unwillingly: " The national treasury is insufficient, so I cut Xiangyang to Soochow according to what you and Jia Cheqi wanted, and asked them to give us food. But how much did Wu send? What about the agreed 500 million?"

It can be said that after Jia Chong and Zhuge Liang met in secret, the new general of Soochow had already made his choice.

Yi Mieying Chuan Zhong's request was a joke: even if Zhong Hui really wanted to, Jin would never agree.At this moment, there is no victorious sign on the battlefield, and the aristocratic families with grass-like attributes are hesitantly watching.Do you dare to take action against the Yingchuan Zhong family at this time?What do the Chen and Xun families who are also Yingchuan clans think?
For two consecutive years, 500 million shi of grain was donated to the state of Jin every year.This Sun Hao agreed.But it was useless for Emperor Guang to agree, because the executor was Zhong Hui—in this regard, he gave full play to the fine traditions of Zhuxia bureaucrats: asking for kickbacks, shoddy goods, and inflated transportation losses on the road, etc.At this time, the Soochow families who actively entered Huainan also cooperated with General Zhong's actions: Everyone thinks that the general is really good, not to mention making a fortune himself, and leading everyone to make a fortune together!
And once the family is rotten, there is no lower limit for doing things.Therefore, while Zhong Hui quickly won the favor of domestic aristocratic families, the actual grain imported by Wu State to Jin State in 273 was only more than two million shi, and among them, old grain brown rice and moldy rice accounted for a considerable part-fine grain The grain is to be imported into Jihan, and they are sold in exchange for high-quality wine.Why are you willing to give you the state of Jin?

"Your Majesty, Wu's official style is the worst among the three kingdoms. Although this situation is a little too much, it is still reasonable. The ministers have already written to Wu's Prime Minister's Mansion and Shangshutai to request They stepped up management."

"Hmph! What about their army? After taking Zhen's Xiangyang, did they ever mobilize the main force of the Han Dynasty to come back?"

"Your Majesty, when it comes to this, Wu Guo really tried his best." Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin who stood up at this time: "The place in the three counties of Shangyong, I stayed there for more than half a year. The terrain there is really amazing. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Lu Youjie of Eastern Wu set out from Xiangyang, and within half a year, he was able to defeat the resistance of Cao Ti and other rebels, and completely expelled them from the three counties of Shangyong. I am ashamed of myself!"

In the past six months, the battlefields of Bingzhou and Jizhou have been very quiet.The only noisy place is the three counties of Shangyong.Lu Kang led an army of 12 from Xiangyang to attack Shangyong. Cao Ti and others were completely unable to resist, and quickly asked Luo Xian, who was in Hanzhong, for help.But Luo Xian only had a few thousand people in his hands, and he couldn't give reinforcements.So the final result is: Cao Ti and others were divided into two after the field battle was unfavorable, one stayed in the mountains of Shangyong to fight guerrillas, and the other retreated to the Golden City in Jihan Hanzhong County: Jihan strictly forbids cement leakage, Cement is not allowed to be used in cities that are not under the control of the army.But the Golden City is different. As a barrier for Jihan Hanzhong County to defend against the enemy from the east, it has long been fortified.

Even so, the combined forces of Luo Xian and Cao Ti are less than 2.This alarmed Huo Yi, who was guarding Chengdu, and Ma Yi, who was in Nanzhong.After Huo Yi personally led 3000 Chengdu defenders to the north, Ma Yi also sent 5000 Nanzhong Wudang Flying Army and [-] private soldiers from the Li family and the Meng family.

After putting in such a force, especially after the Wudang flying army from Nanzhong cut off the Wu army's food roads everywhere in the mountains of the three counties of Shangyong, Lu Kang's advance was barely delayed.

However, Soochow's influence on this war is already the limit.After all, they failed to break through Ji Han's main line of defense, and after all, they failed to force Ji Han's expeditionary forces to shrink back to help.
