The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 478 Luoyang is Luoyang ([-])
"Foreign Minister Zhang Hua, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Wu."

"How fast is Maoxian!"

"The survival of the country depends on your majesty's thoughts, so don't dare not hurry."

"It's serious, it's serious. Please take a seat first, Maoxian. I will listen to what the Emperor Jin wants."

On January 24, Han and Jin fought decisively on the north bank of the mainland. Han won and Jin lost, Jiang Wei was killed, and the Jin army was completely wiped out.

On the [-]th, the news reached Jiexiu.On the same day, Du Yu of Mianshangju also received the same battle report.

On February [-], the news reached Luoyang.

On the third day, Chang'an received the battle report.

On the [-]th, Guan Yi mourned for Jiang Wei at Jiexiu, where the whole army was plain.On the same day, Du Yu began to mobilize troops to withdraw southward without clear instructions from Sima Yan.

On the [-]th, Du Yu, Wei Guan, Yang Hu and others returned to Luoyang.

In the early morning of the [-]th, Sima Yan led the clan to pay homage to the ancestral temple and gathered overnight, and decided to stick to Luoyang and a series of plans.

On the twelfth, Zhang Hua, Minister of Jin, arrived in Wuchang and was quickly received by Sun Hao.

Yes, Sun Hao is not in Jianye at this moment, but has come to the place where Sun Quan ascended the throne before, Wuchang City. (This Wuchang is the current Echeng of Hubei, not the Wuchang of Wuhan today.)
The Jin State was defeated in Jizhou, and everyone could see its perilous situation.So, Sun Hao is really in a hurry right now.He no longer wanted to stay in the distant Jianye, but took the initiative to come to Wuchang, which is closer to Luoyang.It is convenient and better to rescue the Jin country.

"Your Majesty, the strategy of our country's latest temple calculation is as follows... In short, we need your country to provide us with food urgently and send reinforcements when necessary. In this way, our country still has a chance."

"Good! Yang Wenju is really a great talent! It's a pity that he was buried by his elder brother before." After he couldn't help but praise Yang Yao, Sun Hao suddenly realized: I am the emperor of Wu. In the future, I will definitely be alone, but if I praise other people's courtiers so much now, how can I find benefits from the other party when the time comes to negotiate?
"Ahem, Maoxian, your country estimates, when will Guan Zifeng command the Han army to encircle Luoyang?"

"The five prefectures of Hebei have a vast territory and a large population. In addition, there are many aristocratic and powerful families, and the relationship between them is intricate. Moreover, after a series of battles, the wounded of the Han army itself and the captured soldiers of our army need to be properly settled. The military rations need to be allocated, bows and arrows Armors and other armaments need to be re-coordinated... No matter how proficient Guan Zifeng is in mundane affairs, at least he will not be able to encircle Luoyang until mid-to-late March."

"Ah."

Really just hummed for a moment, and then Sun Hao stopped talking.

As Zhang Hua, who visited Sun Hao on behalf of Jin many times, he didn't understand what Sun Hao meant.So he immediately began to bid: "Your Majesty, if our country can survive this catastrophe, our country will definitely move its capital after the war. In this way, Wancheng can be handed over to your country. Your country will get the complete Jingzhou."

"Ah."

"Your Majesty, if your country can dispatch more than [-] troops to support our country, then our country can cede Xuzhou after the war!"

"Ah."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Hua stood up abruptly from his seat, walked towards Sun Hao and kowtowed heavily. After Sun Hao personally left the seat and helped him up, Zhang Hua's forehead was already covered with blood.

"Your Majesty." The tearful Zhang Hua said with tears: "If your Majesty has any doubts about whether I will fulfill the contract after the Great Jin War. My Majesty also said that the prince of our country has long admired His Majesty's wisdom and fortitude. Your Majesty will not give up, the prince of our country is willing to come to His Majesty's side every day to spread paper and grind for His Majesty!"

"Oh? It's too serious, Maoxian, if the prince of Jin really comes to Wu, I will treat him as my own!" Sun Hao laughed, and then said: "This matter is of great importance, and I need to communicate with you. The country's important ministers discussed it. So, let's invite Mao Xian to go to the post house to rest today. Well, the scenery of Wuchang is very different from Jianye, and Mao Xian can take a look."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that the ministers are very anxious now. Please make a decision early."

"Don't worry, Maoxian, within a day, I will definitely give Maoxian a letter of approval!"

……

"My lords, it seems that the state of Jin is really in a hurry. Not to mention Wancheng, even Xuzhou is willing to take it out. That is a place that Lu Ziming dared not touch back then. What are you talking about sending the crown prince as a hostage! Tsk tsk, when Cao Mengde asked the emperor to hand over his uncle, the emperor insisted on not giving it."

"Your Majesty, what I said is inappropriate, it doesn't really matter whether the Jin State sets out these conditions or whether it fulfills the contract after the war. The important thing is that the Jin State must be kept, otherwise our Great Wu will be in danger!"

"Hehehe, Wenbin (Wan Yu), you are still so straightforward. Well, of course I know about this. So Wenbin, I'm here to ask you, how much food is there in our country now after supporting the Jin country many times? ?”

"Uh..." Wan Yu was really asked this question.It is true that Soochow is a major food exporter among the Three Kingdoms, but the power of the family in this country is too strong.In the early years, a large part of the grain exported to the Shu Han was actually sold privately by the aristocratic family to the Mi family, and then the Mi family transported it back to subsidize the Shu Han.Therefore, the so-called big grain exporting country, if we really want to say how much the Soochow state regime exported, it is actually quite limited.

Soochow's agricultural production in recent years has been generally smooth and has not suffered too many natural disasters.However, in recent years, Soochow has repeatedly lost troops and lost generals in the military. In this defeat, not only soldiers are lost, but a large amount of food and grass accompanying the army will also be lost.

Now, Soochow's 15-strong army has been mobilized for nearly a year, and during this period, as much as 300 million shi of grain was consumed.The first phase of food to support the Jin State has been issued: no matter how much the Jin State finally got, in short, the treasury has spent 700 million shi.

After spending 1000 million shi of grain in a short period of time, Wan Yu still has 1000 million shi in hand.This made Wan Yu careless: it was only the second month of the lunar calendar, and spring plowing was about to begin, followed by the lean and yellow season that agricultural people disliked the most.Although the country's 15 army is definitely no longer full, it is still fighting on the outside at this time, and the supply must also be guaranteed-all of this must last until the end of the autumn harvest in August and September this year.

Besides, for the officials in charge of agricultural countries, good weather is of course good, but if the weather has been good for many years in a row, I am afraid that these officials will feel drummed in their hearts.

"Your Majesty reminded me very well that I was too anxious. In this way, the Prime Minister's Mansion can allocate 200 million shi of grain and transport it to Luoyang, and there are about 70 million shi left."

"Really? Haha." Sun Hao sneered: "I heard what Maoxian said just now, saying that the grain we sent to the Xuchang Grain Depot in Jin State in the early stage was only 200 million shi in the end, and the proportion of old grain brown rice Extremely high! Of the 200 million shi of grain, I am afraid that more than 100 million shi of grain may not be able to reach Luoyang, right?"

"Your Majesty learned the lesson. At this time, I have also received a letter from Pei Jiyan, Minister of the Jin Dynasty. In this way, the speed of the grain transfer this time is sought. Although the loss of the waterway is small, there are too many states and counties passing through. Officials from all walks of life , There are also many opportunities for the aristocratic family to play their hands. So this time, I plan to transfer 200 million directly from Xiangyang, Lu Youjie’s reserve army rations, and then I will supplement Lu Youjie’s food from Jiangling. For transportation, take the overland route and go to Wancheng to deliver with the Jin Kingdom. In this way, the loss should be much less."

"Well, that's about the same. Well, the food problem has been solved. What about the army?"

"Your Majesty, my opinion is that the Golden City of the Great General in Hanzhong is blocked anyway. It is better to order the Great General to suspend the siege of the city, and instead appease the people of the three counties of Shangyong and persuade them to live and farm in Xiangyang The three prefectures of Shangyong have a population of [-] to [-] no matter what, but the original people near Xiangyang were all relocated by the Jin State. After the people of Shangyong came, they took the time to replant rice, maybe in time for autumn. During the autumn harvest this year, if the Han Kingdom hadn’t conquered Luoyang, they would have been exhausted under the fortified city of Luoyang. At that time, our army had already stabilized the order in Xiangyang, and the newly harvested autumn grain had already been put into storage. It was time to send troops to rescue good time!"

"Good, let's arrange it like this! I only hope that Sima Anshi can last a little longer. If he can't last for half a year, there is nothing I can do to help. Wen Bin, write to You Jie and Shi Ji to inform us of what we discussed today Give it to them. Tell them to prepare to send troops after the autumn harvest."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Shunmin, the Dian school needs to send more people, and I must always control the situation in Luoyang. If the Jin country can't even survive this autumn, then we must immediately send troops to take the troops in North Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou as soon as possible. The territory was seized. In this way, we will have the strength to fight against Han in the future."

"Your Majesty will not be disappointed if you lead the decree."
