The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 477 Luoyang is Luoyang ([-])
"Clang~clang~~clang~~~"

In Luoyang, in the ancestral temple of Jin State, the musicians rang the chime bells melodiously. More than two hundred people from Sima Yan and his Sima family clan worshiped the spiritual tablets of Sima Yi and others with solemn expressions.

In the Battle of Daluze, the Jin Army and Jizhou Front Army were completely annihilated.There is no longer any obstacle in front of the enemy's East Route Army.From Daluze to Ren County to Yecheng to the Yellow River to Yanzhou, the road is already smooth.The country can no longer come up with a significant force to stop them.

Now, the enemy forces are still making slight adjustments to the north of the Yellow River to coordinate local relations.But once this army goes south and crosses the Yellow River, all the troops currently on the front line of Bingzhou will be copied.

Therefore, it no longer makes sense for the troops in the direction of Bingzhou to be stationed there if it affects the whole body.

The main force of the enemy has come from the east and north.Therefore, there is no point in guarding Tongguan in the west.

Now, if you don't want to surrender, the only thing you can rely on in the whole country is Luoyang, the largest city in the world, that's all...

The problem with Sima Yan is that he is indecisive, but as Wang Yuanji's son, his IQ is still sufficient.Of course, he can understand these problems.Therefore, after the news of Lu Ze came, after a short discussion with Pei Xiu and others, he still made the decision to abandon all defense lines and stick to Luoyang with the whole army.

This is a dying struggle, right?
How did that happen?My Great Jin was founded less than ten years ago.Both Cao and Wei have had a state for more than 40 years, but a country that has experienced only one emperor from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country, it seems that there was only a new dynasty before, right?But the new dynasty has 15 years of Guozuo!There has never been a country that perished within ten years of its founding, is it true?
Out of the ancestral temple in a restless mood, nearly two hundred clans came to the court together: this was unimaginable in the past. In the past, only princes and county kings were eligible to participate in the court meeting.But it is different now. When the country is in peril, the ministers are no longer reliable - most of them used to be the courtiers of Cao Wei, and even a very small number of them were the courtiers of Liu Xie.If the Jin Kingdom perished, it would not be a problem for them to change another emperor.

If nothing else, just talk about the great retreat in Hebei a while ago.This Jia Chong actually sent a thousand Jin Zou Cao into Yecheng, intending to kill all Cao's clan relatives.Fortunately, Zhao Wang Sima Lun, who was in Yecheng at that time, discovered it in time and effectively prevented this action.If not, if the city of Luoyang is destroyed in the future, the Han family may give preferential treatment to the Sima family according to the old rules, and the Cao family will never die for the Sima family.

Although Jia Chong's move is also rooted in the bad things Sima Zhao did back then.But this action shows that the courtiers have begun to be out of the emperor's control.

Therefore, at this time, the most reliable person can only be the clan.

"Hey, my uncles and brothers, all my ministers and workers. I don't want to talk about the current situation of the country. Now, the only thing we can do is to stick to Luoyang. If we can hold on for three years and two times, we will force Han to retreat. Then , the country still has a glimmer of life. However, how to defend the city, please discuss it.”

After Sima Yan finished speaking, there was silence in the court hall.Sima You, Sima Jun, Sima Gui, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Du Yu, Wei Guan, Yang Hu, Ma Long and others all had strange expressions.

This battle has been fought so far, and you have lost so badly, don't you, the emperor, have no idea? !
When the enemy launched an attack in Tongguan at the beginning, we said it was a feint, so don't worry about it.If you don't listen, the king of Taiyuan must send [-] troops to the south.As a result, as soon as Sima Gui left, Guan Yi took advantage of the situation and took Taiyuan.

When Guan Zifeng first arrived in Taiyuan, the food roads were blocked, and he did not dare to pour all the 15 main forces into Bingzhou.At that time, his troops were always less than 20.We said that the Chinese army should be sent out quickly, and together with the Bingzhou troops, a total of more than [-] people will fight a decisive battle with Guan Zifeng in Bingzhou.As a result, a few pieces of rammed earth fell from the Tongguan city wall, and you were frightened, and the Chinese army was not allowed to move out.Sit and watch Guan Zifeng slowly gain a foothold in Bingzhou.

Jiang Boyue sent troops to Youzhou, we advise you to send the Chinese army to Youzhou to support Uncle Meng and General Gou Dao.In the end, you still didn't dare to drive the Chinese army out because the Han army rushed to the top of Tongguan city.As a result, Uncle Meng died fighting hard, and General Gou Dao died extremely aggrieved.

After all, the Han army at Tongguan retreated with all their strength, and you are finally willing to let the Chinese army go out.But at that time, the fighter plane was lost, and the only thing that could be done was to fight against consumption.We also looked for foreign aid everywhere, and moved food and reinforcements from Soochow.But you hurriedly urged Chen Xiuyuan to send troops for a decisive battle, what happened?Chen Qian, Wang Hun, Hu Lie, Yang Zhao, Jiang Ban, Jiao Yi... are all rare senior generals in the country!Just like that, it's all lost!
It can be said that every time you have a choice, you have made the wrong choice!If you hadn't directed so blindly, we might have lost, but we would never have lost so badly!Within two years, Dingtian would lose Bingzhou, and add Youzhou at most.How can it be like today, only the lonely city of Luoyang is trapped!
The establishment of this country was the foundation laid by your grandfather, uncle, and father.All you did was to abdicate that puppet Cao Huan.This kind of thing can be done by anyone with the surname Sima, it's not up to you!The old men followed your grandfather, uncle, and father to overcome difficulties and forge ahead in the bloody storm for the establishment of this country, and they paid much more than you!What right do you have to be such a prodigal?
It's a pity for those soldiers who fought to the last moment for this country!

However, now that the enemy army is about to approach the city, there is no need for us to change the emperor's reputation for wanton failure.But ah, we are very upset now, so we will not answer your question!

After a period of embarrassing silence in the entire court, a sigh sounded, but it was the seed of the Hongnong Yang family left by Sima Yan.

"Your Majesty, rely on Luoyang to defend. From my point of view, there are three things that need to be done in advance."

"Oh, Wen Ju, please tell me, I'm all ears."

"Don't dare, Your Majesty, I think that the first thing to do is to recruit the people from the outskirts of Luoyang into the city. Afterwards, we will select strong men from among these people to go to the city to help defend. Your Majesty, all princes and officials, I am in charge of household registration at Shangshutai. Around Luoyang, there were more than 40 people in its heyday (Cao Rui’s period), and even now there are more than [-] people (repeated large-scale losses of the Chinese army). It is not a problem to draw [-] strong from here.”

"Yes, Wen Ju, please continue."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the second thing is to collect food and grass. There are 40 people, more than 60 soldiers, and many princes and ministers, their relatives, and servants. The population of the city is probably no less than [-]. In January Grain consumption is close to one million shi. According to Shang Shutai's figures, the current grain inventory in Luoyang city is less than ten million shi, so this amount of grain will last for less than a year."

"So, how to collect it?"

"Your Majesty should decree that all the grain stocks in Chenliu in Yanzhou, Xuchang in Yuzhou, and Wancheng in Jingzhou be transferred to Luoyang. Xuzhou is too far away, so it may be too late. In addition, Dongwu should be summoned urgently." Let it quickly support us with another batch of grain. We will strive to store more than 2000 million shi of grain in Luoyang before April. After the war breaks out, we can discuss with Han on the way, saying that there is insufficient grain in the city , we took the initiative to release the people to eat in the fields. Given Guan Zifeng's hypocritical and shameless nature, the other party would probably agree. So, in terms of food alone, we can last for about three years."

"Wen Ju is a great talent, I agree! This matter will be supervised by Shang Shutai with all its strength. Well, King Qi, you will be fully responsible for this matter."

"Uh... my younger brother takes the order."

Oh, this Yang Wenju is really good, much better than his elder brother who always comes up with bad ideas, why didn't I find out before?If I had known this earlier, I would have used him as the representative of the Yang family to contain King Qi and the others.

"Wen Ju, what about the third item?"

"The third thing is reinforcements. Your Majesty, the guarding of the city is the most taboo. After a long time, the morale will be low, and the guards will have a lot of strange thoughts. Therefore, if the guards know that there are reinforcements outside the city, His will will be much firmer. In today's world, with the guards of the princes having dedicated their country three times, only the State of Wu has the ability to provide effective support to our Great Jin. Your Majesty should send a powerful envoy to the State of Wu urgently. My lord Jin will use Luoyang as a strong city to consume Han's power, but Wu's main force should be stationed not far from Luoyang. , if the Han Kingdom suffers a heavy loss, then all the things that our Great Jin lost in this war can be reclaimed in one battle!"
