The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 485 Luoyang is Luoyang ([-])
"Boom~~"

"Boom~~"

"Your Majesty! Be careful, Your Majesty!"

"Go away, I'm fine!"

After receiving Zhao Wang Sima Lun's report, Sima Yan ran out of the palace, and when he came to the city wall, it was Ji Han's overwhelming catapult attack that greeted His Majesty the Emperor.

Thanks to the current strong national power and abundant manpower, Ji Han's trebuchet siege is not a child's play like Sima Lun's hundreds of trebuchets.Instead, more than [-] trebuchets were lined up closely, and then they adjusted their angles slightly to bombard the same section of the city wall repeatedly and intensively.

As a defender, of course you have to cover everything.But as an attacker, why should I blow up all the city walls?
Moreover, the Han army's trebuchet bombardment did not pursue the beauty of flames like Sima Lun.Generally, a batch of water bombs wrapped in sheepskin bags are thrown first.After the surface of the city wall is completely soaked by water, it is repeatedly attacked with ordinary stone bullets.Sima Lun was very clear: In less than an hour, the outermost layer of rammed earth on the part of the city wall that was attacked had already peeled off.

Although the thickness of what fell was only about an inch, the outer wall of Luoyang was several times thick.But Sima Lun, who doesn't like mundane affairs no matter how much he doesn't like, knows: this calculation method is not like this.The stone bombs repeatedly attacked the same section of the city wall, and the accumulated power would explode sooner or later.At that time, I am afraid that the entire city wall will collapse.

Standing on another section of the city wall next to the section of the city wall that was bombarded, Sima Yan could still clearly feel the swaying under his feet. At this moment, his face was full of despair: "This... this... can you mobilize elites, open the city gate, kill Go out and destroy these trebuchets?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is very difficult." Sima Lun stretched out a hand in a panic: "Your Majesty, look behind those catapults, the soldiers of the Han army are already in full formation. Moreover, the opponent's catapults are protected by a low wall." , Our army is so difficult to attack on the top of the city, even if we rush out, we cannot launch an effective attack without crossing the low wall. But after crossing the low wall, they will fall into the pit. And the Han army outside the pit can An easy killing of our soldiers..."

"Pass... pass the decree, set it up in the hall, and invite all the ministers and workers to come to discuss matters."

"According to the order."

Just when he was about to return, Li Xiang, who was commanding under the city, saw the large canopy on the top of the city.

"Tsk tsk, could it be that Sima Yan is here?"

"General Zhonglang, why do you ask me these things? I can't read, and I don't even know the ceremonial guards used by these nobles when they travel."

"Tch, it's really boring. Let me ask you, can the catapult that is closest to the city wall hit the top of the wall?"

"Sheepskin sacs can be thrown with a little water, but stone bombs are not."

"That's fine, hurry up and tell them to change their bombs. Ben is going to give Sima Yan a bath!"

Just when Sima Yan instructed and encouraged Sima Lun, he turned around and prepared to go down the city.Several yellow gates nearby shouted at the same time: "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Several bags of sheepskin sacs carrying a lot of clear water roared in.One of the bags fell heavily on Sima Yan's canopy. While breaking the curtain on the canopy, the sheepskin pouch was also punctured by the sharp corners on the top of the canopy.Then, a lot of liquid poured down, pouring down Sima Yan's heart under the canopy...

At the same time, the residence of Pei Xiu, the Duke of Julu County and Shang Shuling.

In the past, Pei Xiu was very cautious, and generally would not hold large gatherings of courtiers in her mansion.But at this moment, although Shang Shuling is still in office, his power has been emptied by Yang Ye—besides, in Jin, where there is no prime minister, Shang Shuling is the prime minister.But how much land is left in Jin now?What do you want the prime minister for?

Therefore, on this day, Pei Jiyan had a big banquet at home. Du Yu, Wei Guan, Yang Hu, Yang Xiu (Yang Hu's nephew and son of Xin Xianying), Xin Chang (Xin Pi's son), Chen Xun (Chen Tai's son, Chen Qun's grandson), Ma Long, Zhang Hua, He Qiao, Xun Xu, Xun Kai, Shi Chong, Wang Rong and others gathered together and were invited to attend the meeting.

This is a gathering of representatives of the main families in the three states of Henan in the Jin Kingdom, as well as a small number of other local families and some powerful generals in the military.

Many of the people present here are related to the Sima family by marriage.However, although they married the Sima family's daughter, their surname was not Sima after all.

Of course, although Pei Jiyan and Jia Cheqi have always been political allies, but at this moment, it is a dead friend who is not dead—the Jia family can no longer get off the boat.Now Pei Jiyan will only guard against Jia Chong.

Although Jia Chong is in charge, what time is it now?Can Jinzuo Cao Gan really do something to Pei Xiu?

The musicians played seriously, but the dancer still tried her best to show her graceful dancing posture.After the host frequently toasted and invited to drink, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually heated up, and everyone in the meeting got a little bit drunk.

Although these are all bigwigs or representatives of aristocratic families, they are very serious in their official authority on weekdays.But when is this?It's a trivial matter that the country is about to end, the key is that Luoyang City is now under the complete control of the Sima family, and everyone is standing aside!
So, this is the end of the world.With the stimulation of alcohol, everyone began to take off their clothes, and they looked a little dissolute.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Pei Xiu raised his glass to Ma Long: "Xiaoxing, please drink up this cup."

"Hahaha, Shang Shuling, Long has already drank ten cups today. Although the fragrance from the bottle is not as strong as burning knives, drinking too much can really make people drunk. So, what is the name of this cup?"

"Hehehe, Xiaoxing fought two battles in Tongguan. In the first battle, he defeated Marquis Wulie of Tianshui, and in the second battle, he defeated the former general. Such an impressive record is worthy of drinking the cup."

As soon as Pei Xiu said this, everyone in the audience frowned slightly.

Marquis Wulie of Tianshui is the posthumous title given to Jiang Wei by Ji Han.The former general is the official official position given to Zhang Zun by Ji Han.When Pei Xiu said these things at this time, he was acknowledging Ji Han's posthumous titles and official positions.What does it mean?
However, Malone was unambiguous, and after laughing loudly, he stood up and drank the glass directly—this is a statement of opinion!

After Ma Long drank the cup, Pei Xiu stood up again and said to Du Yu, "Young Fu was able to block the Great Sima in Bingzhou and prevent him from making any progress for half a year. He is also a famous general in the world. Please drink this cup to the full!"

Du Yu hesitated for a moment, but he still stood up and drank the wine in his glass.

After that, Pei Xiu tried to persuade her to drink all the way, saying the same words.The people who were called, although they were more or less struggling, they still drank the wine in the cup.

Finally came to Shi Chong: "Brother Ji Lun, Brother Zun is now serving as a personal guard next to Da Sima, it should feel very good, right?"

Hearing this, Shi Chongyi was almost out of his wits for a moment: his second brother Shi Qiao changed his name to Guan Yi and worked as a bodyguard next to Guan Yi, and he himself was told by Shi Bao just before his death.How did Pei Jiyan know this?
But there is no use arguing at this time!So Shi Chong had no choice but to stand up, gulping down a glass of wine in embarrassment.

Seeing that everyone expressed their attitudes, Pei Xiu nodded to her son Pei Jun.Pei Jun got up and clapped his hands, so the musicians, dancers, etc. all quickly retreated.

Uh, maybe the one who got out was the swordsman lurking outside the door, right?Although this Pei Jiyan is usually very gentle, but to survive the years of political disputes with Zhong Shiji, is it really possible to be gentle?Swordsman?That is simply a certainty.

"Everyone, today's meeting is actually to join in the fun with everyone. After all, we finally figured out what the trench dug by the big man outside the city is for. However, we figured it out, but there is no way to counter it." method. Therefore, in Xiu’s view, within two months, Luoyang will be destroyed!”

There is absolutely no shortage of generals who can lead the army in battle among the people present, so when Pei Xiu said this, everyone thought about it for a while, and then nodded slightly in agreement.

"A beautiful person, I like to be straightforward. So, I won't say too much. I invite you to come today. In fact, I want to introduce two sages to you. You two, stand behind for a long time, please come out and see."

Following Pei Xiu's greeting, two men about 40 to [-] years old came out from behind the screen.

"Hehe, everyone should know these two. One is Huhou's grandson Xu Zong Xu Ziyu, and the other is Xu Yuanzhi's grandson Xu Can and Xu Wenlie..."
