Chapter 438: Unexpected News

Everything was as Li Xin and the others expected, after returning to Luoyang, Huan Wen, after careful consideration, finally decided to give up. He no longer thinks about crossing the river, for him, the goal of recovering Luoyang has now been achieved. Moreover, compared with before, now Heyin and other places are also under control, and in general, it is a little bigger than before the northward crusade ~ attack.

After nearly half a year on the Luoyang side, not only the soldiers and generals under Huan Wen were already exhausted, but even himself, after these two defeats, he was completely dead.

Now what he wants most is to go back to his Gangneung and prepare to recuperate there for a while. However, before that, he had to arrange the defenses of Luoyang and other places first.

At the beginning, Mao Muzhi, Dai Shi, Chen Wu and others, who stayed behind to guard Luoyang, supported to join the army because of Kim Yong Cheng.

Although they were unable to cooperate with Huan Wen to recapture Luoyang City as soon as possible, at least they could be regarded as holding on, and from this point of view, they could be regarded as meritorious.

Therefore. After comprehensive consideration, Huan Wen left Dai Shi to stay in Luoyang City as usual, and in addition, he also sent the champion general Chen You to stay together. Chen Wu was sent to Heyin County to guard, and Mao Muzhi was put in Chenggao Tiger Prison.

In order to prevent Murong Ke from calling them again after they retreated, Huan Wen left 3,000 men and horses in Luoyang City this time, and 1,000 people each in Heyin County and Chenggao County. In addition, officials were assigned to Henan County, Gong County and other counties around Luoyang, and in general, compared with the last time, the Jin army in Henan County has increased a lot this time.

Of course, although Huan Wen did not say it explicitly, Xin'an County is not far from Luoyang. Therefore, Huashan Army is also one of the forces he can rely on. In this way, even if Murong Ke really fights back, it will be impossible to take Luoyang in a short period of time.

As long as there is enough time, Huan Wen can plan from it, so as to go north to support Luoyang.

Almost at the same time, Murong Ke was also in the middle of deploying troops and arranging defense lines on the north bank. After all, it was impossible for him to stay here forever, and it was time to rush back to Jidu to see Murong Jun. He was also afraid that after he left, Huan Wen would lead the army to fight again, and he might not be able to stop it at that time.

Under the two phases, there is a tacit understanding, everyone is busy, and no one will bother anyone anymore. As a result, the boundary east of Hongnong County has temporarily presented a relatively stable situation.

After the arrangements in Luoyang and other places were completed, Huan Wen led the army back to Jiangling. However, the navy will retreat later, mainly to transport grain and grass to the counties in Henan County, so that they can hold on to this place for a long time in the future.

There is no way, this place in Henan County can be described as a place of four wars over the years, and after fighting back and forth, the people have almost escaped as much as they can. When there is no one to farm, it is naturally impossible to collect grain from the local area.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be more useful for Huan Wenda to station more soldiers and horses here to guard against the Yan army.

When Huan Wen's side was preparing to withdraw the army, Li Xin's side was already busy.

The fields are full of harvest scenes, and the entire Guanzhong, Hedong and other places are filled with the joy of harvest. In order to help the people harvest, Li Xin also specially ordered the local governments to provide official ox carts and carriages to transport grain for the people.

In this way, the distance between the government and the people will become closer, and the people's impression of the Huashan Army will naturally be better. In the casual chatting after dinner, everyone praised Li Xin, the general.

Of course, the efforts of governments at all levels are inseparable from effective regulatory measures. Among them, there are not only patrols sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to patrol around according to the imperial history, but also invisible civilian inspectors.

In addition, today's Huashan Army has just grown strong, and everything is still clear, so the image of this official government is naturally very good. However, as the territory gets bigger and bigger, if Li Xin wants to maintain this state, I am afraid it will become more and more difficult.

The summer harvest went on for more than a month, and in May, at the request of Si Tianjian, Li Xin rushed to Hedong to sacrifice Houtu. This is to thank God for giving the people a good harvest, and it is actually a complete set of procedures to go to Yongxian County to worship Wuqi in March before.

But at this time, Tu Qi told Li Xin a piece of news that surprised him, because Jiang Zuo's side actually planned to send someone into the customs.

This time, the people sent were not sent by Huan Wen~, but directly by the Jiangzuo court. Moreover, the grade of the people who came is not low, and the leader is now Jiangzuo's Sikong and Sanqi Chang Shiche! In addition to him, there were a number of other officials and so on.

"Good guys, why did they enter the customs?" After hearing the news, Li Xin was a little puzzled.

According to the news inquired by the spies, this time Che Guan was ordered to go to Luoyang to repair the emperor's mausoleum and perform sacrifices. And to enter the customs, the other party's excuse is to sacrifice the soldiers who died in the battle of Chang'an! However, now Guanzhong is in our hands, so they must have to ask us first! Tu Qi replied.

Since the founding of Sima Yan, the Western Jin Dynasty was built in Luoyang! Except for the last emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Jin Chou, who ascended the throne in Chang'an and struggled to support it for four years, the entire Jin Dynasty did not have much to do with Chang'an.

It has been many years since the establishment of the Liuyu regime in Jiangzuo. In these years, except for the beginning when Sima Yan was in power, the world was still peaceful, and after his son Emperor Jin Hui ascended the throne, the world quickly moved~ chaos.

A rebellion of the eight kings made the whole world fall apart, unveiling the prelude to the chaos of the Five Wilds. And the subsequent Yongjia change directly led to the fact that the huge Western Jin Dynasty did not even exist in name only.

However, these things are happening around Luoyang, and they have little to do with Chang'an. The mausoleums of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty are all on the side of Luoyang, so if Che Guan enters Luoyang to repair the mausoleum, there is no problem.

As for the battle of Chang'an they are talking about, it actually refers to the war in which Emperor Jin was finally destroyed by Liu Cong after Chang'an was dethroned.

I think that at the beginning, there were thousands of miles of people around Chang'an, and the white bones were hidden in the wilderness. Although the Western Jin Dynasty court continued in Chang'an, it was short of soldiers, and even the emperor's chariots and horses were not available. Under such circumstances, although Emperor Jin and the Emperor of Jin tried their best to gather the people and soldiers in Guanzhong, there were more than 100,000 people in total.

As a result, Liu Cong led a large army from Pingyang and surrounded Chang'an City for a long time. Eventually, when there was a shortage of food and clothing in the city, people competed for food and ate enough to live as a cannibal. After the city was finally broken, Emperor Jin was also captured by Liu Cong and sent to Pingyang, where he was soon killed.

And his death also meant the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, which led to the later establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty by Sima Rui in Jiangzuo.

The emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty did not die in Chang'an, and it was not without wars that were more tragic than the Battle of Chang'an. The Jiangzuo court did not go to sacrifice those people, but came to Chang'an and said that it would sacrifice the soldiers who died in the battle of Chang'an.

"In the opinion of the following officials, it is false that the other party is here to sacrifice, and he wants to explore the reality of our Huashan Army, or if he wants to meet you, the general, I am afraid it is true!" Wang Meng was also on the side, and after hearing this, he pondered for a while and said slowly.

"Makes sense! Now Jiang Zuo, Huan Wen has the power, and under this war, if it weren't for him, maybe Murong Ke would have already fought to Jiankang. There are not many people that the Jiangzuo court can rely on, and I am afraid that it will have to rely on Huan Wen in the future! Obviously, the princes of the court thought of this, and they already didn't want to be held hostage by Huan Wen anymore! Hearing his words, Li Xin suddenly understood a little, nodded and said.

"Not bad! With today's trend, the various factions are clearly divided, except for our Huashan Army, which has no clear ambition, the other parties have already made their own choices. In addition, our relationship with Huan Wen has always been good, I'm afraid that some people in the Jiangzuo court are a little worried! ”

Since the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has actually been a playground for all families. Although Sima was the nominal emperor, if he was not recognized by the various families, the throne of this emperor would definitely not be stable.

However, although they are unanimous on the issue of dealing with the emperor, that is, they must not let the emperor harm the interests of the family. But at the same time, they are also full of internal power struggles.

Just like the Wang family and the Lu family back then, as well as the Tao Xie family, these are all Jiangzuo clans, how powerful the Wang family was at the beginning, it can almost decide the abolition of the Son of Heaven in a word. But what about after all these years? Now isn't it the turn of feng shui to turn around, and it's the turn of the Huan clan to become bigger!

This is actually the result of a family struggle, obviously, if the power of the Huan Wen ~ family grows bigger and bigger, and finally suppresses the other families to the point that they can't breathe, it is obviously not the result that everyone wants to see.

Moreover, what everyone is most afraid of is that Huan Wen is like Wang Dun back then, so he simply came to rebel directly. Therefore, over the years, the Jiangzuo Imperial Court has only been able to control Huan Wen in name, try to be kind to him, and constantly add officials to him, so that the children of his Huan family can be promoted and reused.

The Jiangzuo court hopes to use this method to envelop Huan Wen, at least, to maintain a superficial harmony.

Originally, when Luoyang was taken back by Huan Wen last year, the imperial court had the intention of sending a car to irrigate them to worship and repair the imperial mausoleum. However, it was later delayed because of Murong Chui's crossing of the river.

Now that Luoyang has been saved, this matter has been brought up again, but I didn't expect that this time there would be an additional trip to Chang'an.
