The guards at the head of the city did not dare to underestimate it, and they were anxious to send people to the Chinese Mansion in the city to report to the Duke of Jin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Guogong Mansion.

Yuan Shangzheng was anxious, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he was pacing in the hall with his hands in his hands.

The news of the fall of Jingcheng Pass had already been transmitted back to Jinyang City, and this shocking bad news made the monarchs and ministers of his Jin Kingdom feel as if the sky had fallen.

As the king of the Jin Kingdom, how could he not know the importance of this pass, as soon as the well pass was lost, the Wei army opened the best passage between Jizhou and Bingzhou, and the grain, grass and military supplies could be transported to the Jinyang front line unimpeded, without worrying about the rugged and muddy road.

Grain and grass are worry-free, which means that the potters can surround Jinyang for as long as they want.

At that time, the siege of Liyang, the siege of Yecheng, the potters did not hesitate to besiege the city for half a year, and finally broke through the two fortified cities.

As soon as Jinyang broke, he, the last bloodline of the Yuan family, was afraid that he would be like his father and brother, and he didn't know how much he was tortured, and finally died tragically under the clutches of the potter.

The situation is becoming more and more critical, and Yuan Shangyan can not be anxious.

"Duke Jin doesn't have to worry too much, the rest of the four princes are attacking the pottery thief, as long as we can hold on and hold on until there are changes in the four directions, we still have a glimmer of life." Sima Yi calmly reassured.

The voice fell, and before Yuan Shang could speak, the strategist said in a deep voice: "The situation has reached this point, but you still let the Duke of Jin pin his hopes on others, it is really unreasonable." I said Sima Yi, if it weren't for your appearance, Duke Jin would have concentrated all his strength on defending Huguan, and the situation would not have developed to such an uncontrollable point. ”

At this point, someone is always needed to carry the black cauldron, and this person is naturally Sima Yi.

Sima Yi frowned, and he was speechless for a while.

Yuan Shang was reminded by the trial, and suddenly realized, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.

At the beginning, he was going to lead the whole division of the Jin Kingdom to defend Huguan, and if he concentrated all his troops at that time, Huguan might not fall.

And there are 50,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry in Hedong, and the pottery merchants will not dare to use troops to Hedong easily, so they will not be able to attack and merge with the state from the south of Jin.

As for the direction of Jingcheng Pass, as long as the potters can't kill the hinterland of Jinzhong, they can't attack the back of Jingcheng Pass from west to east, and they can't break through the pass.

If the Jingcheng Pass is not breached, the grain and grass of the potters will not be able to be smoothly transported into the state, and at this time, maybe the potters have withdrawn because the roads are muddy and the grain and grass are not conducive to transport.

And all this changed after Sima Yi appeared and persuaded him to borrow troops from the Southern Xiongnu.

If Sima Yi is to blame for everything, it is not wrong.

Yuan Shang looked at Sima Yi's eyes, and suddenly became resentful, but he couldn't bear to blame, so he could only sigh silently, looking disappointed.

Sima Yi could feel that Yuan Shang's complaint against him couldn't help frowning again.

Just when Sima Yi was in embarrassment, the sergeant outside the hall hurriedly entered and arched his hand: "Qi Qi Jin Gong, Sima Lang is outside the city asking to meet." ”

Sima Lang?

Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sima Yi in surprise, obviously surprised that your brother was not captured by the pottery merchant, how could he appear in the city again.

Sima Yi's face also changed, his mind changed rapidly, and he understood in an instant, and he couldn't help but have a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

He knew that the potters were cruel, and he thought that his brother would be murderous if he fell into the hands of the potters, but he didn't want to be alive and appeared outside the city.

Sima Yi saw so much that he immediately guessed that Sima Lang was most likely forced by the potters to come and be a guest.

Sima Yi knew it himself, but he couldn't say it clearly, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, Yuan Shang got up curiously and went to the city.

Sima Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow with apprehension.

Yuan Shang and the others rode out of the house and arrived at the east gate of Jinyang.

Yuan Shang, who climbed to the top of the city, raised his eyes and swept away, and when he saw the towering figure of the pottery merchant, he instinctively swept a chill on his back, and subconsciously shivered.

Sima Yi's gaze fell on the two horsemen in front of the moat, and when he recognized one of them, it was indeed his brother Sima Lang, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and a pair of wolf eyes flashed with a more gloomy gaze.

When Sima Lang saw Yuan Shang and Sima Yi appear, his face immediately changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shame in his heart, as if he was ashamed to see the two of them.

The sound of the scrubbing of the sword out of the sheath, Sima Lang's scalp was numb all over his body, and he was suddenly afraid in his heart, so he had to forcibly suppress the sense of shame, coughed dryly, and said to the city: "Lang has seen the Duke of Jin." ”

Yuan Shang is not stupid, seeing such a strong situation, he has somewhat guessed Sima Lang's intention, his sword eyebrows also frowned slightly, and he glanced back at Sima Yi, his face was gloomy.

In that look, there was clearly a sense of resentment, complaining that his brother, who could not be loyal to the country, and actually became a prisoner of the potter.

Sima Yi was like a mang on his back, but he pretended to be indifferent, cleared his throat, and said coldly to the city: "Big brother, you are the eldest son of my Sima family, even if you are captured by the pottery thief, you should keep the backbone of my Sima family, don't tell me, you were forced by the pottery thief to come and persuade the Duke of Jin to surrender." ”

Sima Yi took the first step, broke Sima Lang's intention, and moved out of the Sima family's style to press him, just hinting to him in a corner, don't make a move to embarrass his younger brother.

Sima Lang was speechless for a moment, his face couldn't help but show embarrassment, and the words of persuasion on his lips were temporarily stuffed back by Sima Yi's words.

Immediately after, he heard the sound of metal grinding again, and Jing Ke's sword pulled out another three points.

Sima Yi's heart trembled, so he had to give up his shame, smiled, and said loudly: "Zhongda, I came here for my brother, in fact, to save you and the Duke of Jin, now the Wei army is as strong as this, with thousands of soldiers and horses, how can you hold Jinyang, the general trend has gone, it is better to comply with the destiny of heaven and the people, open the city and surrender to the King of Wei." ”“

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shang suddenly changed color, and his complaining eyes glared at Sima Yi anxiously.

Sima Yi's brows had condensed, and his face was embarrassed and ashamed.

The soldiers on the city were in an uproar, and the Jin soldiers along the city all looked at Sima Lang with surprised and disdainful eyes, as if they couldn't believe that these unashamed words came from the mouth of this dignified eldest son of the Sima family.

How could Sima Lang not feel the disdainful gaze of ten thousand people, that feeling was like a man's back, which made him embarrassed, just to survive, he couldn't care about anything.

"Sima Zhongda, your Sima family is really loyal to my father." Yuan Shang, who was annoyed, finally couldn't help but sarcastically.

Sima Yi's body was shocked, his fists were secretly clenched, and his eyes when he looked at Sima Lang were full of hatred.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when his eldest brother personally said this words of persuasion, the anger in Sima Yi's heart still could not be suppressed.

Now Yuan Shang is complaining and sarcastic again, his attitude is really related to his Sima Yi's status in the Jin Kingdom, and he must react.

After taking a deep breath, Sima Yi pointed to the city with his hand and shouted: "Sima Lang, as the eldest son of my Sima clan and as a minister of my Great Jin Dynasty, where is your loyalty?" It's just that you are living to surrender to the traitor of the pottery thief, and you even dare to be persecuted by him, and brazenly come to persuade the Duke of Jin to surrender, you have simply lost the face of my Sima clan, and you are not worthy of being a child of my Sima family! ”

In order to make his position clear, Sima Yi had no choice but to reprimand Sima Lang mercilessly in front of so many people, in order to draw a clear line between him and himself.

Sima Lang was ashamed of being counted down by his younger brother, his face was red and white, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't do more.

"I'm not done yet, go on!" Behind him, Jing Ke shouted loudly, and the sword was unsheathed for three more points.

Sima Lang was so frightened that he hurriedly suppressed his shame and said loudly: "Zhongda, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, not to mention that King Wei is the king of the Son of Heaven, and at the order of the Son of Heaven, he will ask the Quartet not to be subordinate, and submit to him, that is, to submit to the Han Dynasty, aren't the Duke of Jin and you both courtiers of the Han Dynasty, why not submit to the imperial court." ”

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Sima Lang sighed again: "Besides, how powerful Duke Yuan was back then, but it was not defeated again and again at the hands of King Wei, the siege of Liyang, the end of the siege of Jinyang, have you forgotten Duke Jin and Zhongda, do you really think you can hold Jinyang City?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Jin soldiers and soldiers along the front line of the city were all moved, and their faces showed a look of horror.

The siege of Liyang, the siege of Yecheng, the Yuan family resisted for so long, but in the end, the city was destroyed and people died, and the ending was tragic, how could these Jin soldiers forget.

Even Yuan Shang couldn't help but secretly shudder, and after a glance around, he could see that the soldiers were all afraid.

This Sima Lang came to persuade him to surrender, and in a few words, he even disturbed his military heart, and Yuan Shang was angry in his heart, and he glared at Sima Yi anxiously.

Sima Yi was also annoyed and angry, pointing at Sima Lang and scolding: "Sima Lang, you are disloyal, unfilial, and brazen, you are not worthy of being the son of my Sima family, I Sima Yi will represent the ancestors of my Sima family today, and expel you, an unscrupulous descendant, from now on, I Sima Yi will no longer have your brother, and the Sima family will no longer have your descendants, whether you are alive or dead, what kind of shameless actions you make, it has nothing to do with my Sima family." ”

Sima Yi had no choice but to sever his brotherhood and expel Sima Lang from the house in order to completely draw a line with him.

Sima Lang's body was shocked, he never thought that his younger brother would be so ruthless, he would just listen to persuasion, and he would be so iron-blooded that he would cut off his brotherly relationship.

Under the embarrassment and shame, Sima Lang was even more frightened, you must know that the potter said that if he wanted to live, he had to persuade Yuan Shang and Sima Yi.

In order to save his life, Sima Lang didn't care about any shame, and almost begged in a crying voice: "Duke Jin, Zhongda, you just listen to my advice and surrender." ”

"Where are the crossbowmen, what are you all waiting for, shoot me with arrows to kill this shameless traitor!" Sima Yi couldn't bear it, and his emotions seemed to be a little out of control.
