Chapter 308: Surrounded by wolves

Sima Shu smiled, "I didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a romantic side." ”

Zhang Bin picked up the teacup, "Although this is the case, it does not affect the prestige of Cao Gong, sweeping the world, leveling the northern princes in the late Han Dynasty, everyone is called a hero, if it is not for Shi Gongbing's straight book, no one knows his past, do you understand, prince?"

Sima Shu straightened up, "You mean ......?"

Zhang Bin pushed the paper silk with a few words written in front of him in front of him, "The prince is a person who wants to inherit the great treasure and reign over the world, and the minister's words are all here." ”

——

The prince's Jingnan army defeated the Qi army in a battle, captured the king of Qi alive, Luoyang shook, and the city gate was closed. The prince's army took advantage of the situation to open a formation under the gate of Luoyang City, clamoring to invite battle, Luoyang City was shocked three times a day, and in the palace, Empress Jia was calm and comfortable, and also set up a grand feast.

It's no wonder that she is so confident, because all the people attending the meeting are all famous vassal kings, Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, got the edict from Emperor Hui of Jin with Empress Jia, and they all arrived.

Their army also entered Luoyang a few days ago, among which the men and horses of the king of Chengdu and Hejian were arranged in the valley outside the city to block the news, Sima Shu knew nothing, and thought that there was only one group of men and horses of Sima Yu, the king of Qi.

The vassal kings did not really obey the orders of Empress Jia, these few who came were ambitious, and their advisers gave advice, if the abolished prince was reinstated, and the name was justified, they would not have the opportunity to covet the great treasure, if the abolished prince was finished, the ninety-five position, but it would be difficult to say.

Therefore, when they heard that King Qi was defeated and captured, they were not only not worried, but also glad that there was one less competitor.

Seeing that the prince was so entrusted, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, who was temporarily appointed as the generalissimo of the rebellion, made corresponding arrangements, deployed the Luoyang defenders to the east gate and the north gate, and ordered the king of Chengdu and the king of Hejian to attack in a pincer shape to encircle the prince's army in the north and south, and he personally led the elite soldiers of the feudal state to stand behind the city gate, just waiting for the prince's army to attack, and then give him a three-sided encirclement and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

——

Yang Pingfan stood on a mound and watched the steady stream of troops pass in front of him and rush to the city of Luoyang.

The clouds are wide and the sky is high, the vast four fields, the wild grass is hanging low, people shouting horses neighing, Che Linlin and Ma Xiaoxiao, pedestrian bows and arrows are at their waists, Yang Pingfan suddenly has a strange thought in his heart, poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a deep dream, the wheel of history is rolling towards the troubled times, and these people in front of them don't know how many can pass on their descendants.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Yang Pingfan glanced back, and when someone saw him turn around, he laughed, "Lord Xima, I'm so interested." ”

Yang Pingfan bowed slightly, "I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Huainan." ”

Sima Yun walked up to him and stood side by side with him, "How does it feel to climb the military parade?"

"If you want to be poor, go to the next level, stand tall, you can see further, the elite of our army, march into Luoyang, get rid of the traitors, and the day is just around the corner. ”

Sima Yun listened to the first two lines of the poem, and his eyes lit up, "Master Xima is very literary and knowledgeable." ”

Yang Pingfan smiled slightly, "Let the prince smile, I don't know why the prince is looking for me?"

Sima Yun stared at Yang Pingfan's side face, "Your Excellency is really the hereditary Guan Neihou?"

Yang Pingfan didn't blink his eyes, "Exactly, Empress Jia deceived people too much, and took away the title for no reason, so I had to defect to the prince." ”

Sima Yun also smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, there are dozens of ancestors in this dynasty, but there is no Yang family." ”

"Hehe, that may be the prince's mistake, you must know that I carry the Hou Yin in the Guannei with me, so I can't fake it. ”

Sima Yun smiled and didn't speak, walked to a small protruding mound, sat directly on the weeds, and looked into the distance, "The children of the family all have a set of etiquette, and the most important thing is the level of respect and inferiority, you know that I am the king of Huainan, but you don't mean to bow at all, this is not right." ”

The corners of Yang Pingfan's eyes twitched, "The prince came here just to expose me?"

Sima Yun pulled up a thatch and wrapped it around his fingers, "No matter what your background is, now that you have become the crown prince and the head of the East Palace, it can be regarded as a step to the sky, but do you think this position can last long?"

"Huh?"

Sima Yun glanced back at him, "If the big thing on the side of the Qing monarch is successful, it will be the time for you, the prince, to wash the horse." ”

Yang Pingfan snorted slightly, "Oh? ”

"The official system of this dynasty is the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, and the children of the family are qualified to become high-ranking officials, Your Excellency is from a poor family, and the children of the poor family are not qualified to become the prince's close ministers, not to mention the head of the East Palace. ”

Yang Pingfan took a step forward, "Fame is only taken immediately, if this Jingjing tribulation can be accomplished, is it possible that those children of the family can still squeeze me down?"

Sima Yun stood up and faced Yang Pingfan face to face, "Good spirit, this king likes a hero like you." ”

Sima Yun said, jumped out of the grass, walked quickly to Yang Pingfan's side, and took his hand, looking excited.

Yang Pingfan's whole body was clever for a while, the ancients were like this, and they joined hands at every turn, but modern people are not interested in two men joining hands, Yang Pingfan pulled out his hand and pointed to the north, "What about you, prince?" Do you have any other plans besides helping the prince to reinstate the throne?"

Sima Yun didn't care about Yang Pingfan's move, and smiled, "This world is the world of the Sima family, the demon queen of the Jia family is in chaos, and the vassal kings of the clan are fighting to eliminate the traitors, which is reasonable, this is also the meaning of Emperor Wu dividing the kings, if the big handle returns to orthodoxy, then I will naturally return to the country and continue my life of poetry, wine and sword." ”

Yang Pingfan sneered, "No, it's not the Jia family demon queen who threatens the Sima family. ”

"That's?"

Sima Yun looked puzzled.

The prince took a deep breath and tried. ”

Sima Yun looked puzzled, but still did so.

"What did the prince smell?"

"Floral...... Well...... The fishy smell of cattle and sheep...... Ahem. ”

Seeing this, the guards standing on the periphery were ready to come over, Sima Yun waved his hand, took out the wine jug on his waist, poured himself a sip, and handed it to Yang Pingfan, Yang Pingfan took it and tasted it, sweet and sour, with the sourness of green plums, the sweetness of honey, and the faint fragrance of flowers, the taste of wine was the lightest.

"Your Excellency is saying...... Hu people?"

Yang Pingfan nodded.

Sima Yun looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, Your Excellency can't help but worry too much, the land of the outside, the barbarian people, this king knows that there are occasional Hu people on the northern border, but it is just a problem of scabies. ”

"The prince was born in the Central Plains, grew up in the Central Plains, and the feudal kingdom is also in the Jianghuai area in the heart of the Central Plains.

Sima Yun didn't expect Yang Pingfan to suddenly ask this question, and he pondered for a while, "There should be tens of thousands." ”

Yang Pingfan stared at Sima Yun with blazing eyes.

"Since the chaos of the Later Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the heroes and even the three kingdoms behind each other, a hundred years, the dawn of the world people have been poisoned, the Central Plains, a hundred miles without seeing people, thousands of miles without hearing the rooster crowing, in order to make up for the lack of population, since the former Emperor Cao Cao, has set the policy of immigration.

After Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, in order to prevent Zhang Lu from rising again, he forcibly moved more than 30,000 people to Chang'an, Luoyang, and Yecheng, and later lost the battle with Liu Bei, Cao Cao abandoned Hanzhong, and moved away more than 80,000 people when he withdrew his army, including Qiang, Di and other Hu people.

Due to the insufficient population of Guanzhong, Cao Wei relied on strong military power to lure the Hu people to move inward on a large scale to make up for the lack of troops and labor in the Central Plains.

As a result, the Hu people entered the customs in a big way, resulting in constant conflicts between the Hu and Han in the Central Plains, and the contradictions were acute. On the one hand, the officials of the Han family discriminated heavily against the Hu people, and they were unable to turn the Hu into Han through indoctrination and etiquette.

Not only that, after the Hu people moved inward, from the previous dynasty to the current dynasty, they did not disrupt the Hu tribe and evacuate it separately, but also absorbed a large number of Hu people to join the army.

So what is the current situation? I can tell the prince that so far, there are more than 100,000 Xiongnu people in Zhao Wangfeng's country, more than 300,000 Xiongnu in Ximenzhou, more than 200,000 Di people in Shudi, nearly one million Xianbei people in Qidi Yandi, and countless Qiang people in Guanzhong.

In addition, the Yue people in the south are also ready to move, and the Great Jin is now surrounded by real wolves on all sides, dare to ask the prince, is this still a problem of scabies?"

Sima Yun listened to Yang Pingfan's words, took two steps back, and his eyes were full of vigilance, "Who is Your Excellency, and why do you know so much about such military affairs?"

Yang Pingfan smiled slightly, "Zhuge Liang ploughs Nanyang and knows the major events in the world, and as the crown prince, I naturally have to understand the domestic affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty." ”

Sima Yun's eyes rolled a few times, as if he was hesitant and worried, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "There are indeed many Hu people in the Great Jin, but at the moment they are all obeying Wang Hua, we are teaching them with the way of the sage, the so-called people who enter China are all in China, there is no need to worry, the important thing at the moment is still to recover Luoyang and sweep away the traitors." ”

Yang Pingfan smiled and didn't speak, he looked at his words and looks, and he had already seen the worry in Sima Yun's heart, so he didn't continue the topic, the two chatted a little more, and dispersed.

After Yang Pingfan and the King of Huainan finished talking, they continued to look at Luoyang in the distance, as the national capital of this era, Luoyang Tiger is on the dragon plate, like a giant beast crouching on the plain, magnificent, far from the previous Yecheng comparable.

The height of the Luoyang city wall is at least twelve meters, with his eyesight, he can clearly see the colorful banners on the head of the city, the soldiers running back and forth with helmets and armor, the huge bed crossbow on the arrow tower, all kinds of city defense materials are piled up, it seems that the forced siege of the city has little chance.

"Zhang Sima thinks, how should our army attack Luoyang?"

Yang Pingfan returned to the camp and found Zhang Bin and other prince's subordinates to discuss together.

Zhang Bin stroked his beard, "Empress Jia has been prepared, Luoyang City is strong, the east gate, the north gate and even the south gate are heavily defended, and it is very difficult to attack head-on. ”
