"Boom~~"

"Bump~~"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, be careful! ”

"Go away, I'm fine!"

After receiving the report of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, Sima Yan ran out of the palace, and after coming to the city wall, what greeted His Majesty the Emperor was Ji Han's overwhelming trebuchet attack.

Thanks to the current strong national strength and abundant manpower, Ji Han's trebuchet siege is not a pediatric of Sima Lun's hundreds of trebuchets. Instead, more than 700 trebuchets were closely lined up, and then slightly adjusted their angles to each other, and repeatedly and intensively bombarded the same section of the wall.

As a defender, of course, you have to be in all aspects. But as the attacker, why did I have to blow down all the walls?

Moreover, the trebuchet bombardment of the Han army did not pursue the beauty of the flame belt like Sima Lun. Usually a batch of water bombs wrapped in sheepskin bags is thrown first. After the surface of the wall is completely soaked with water, it is attacked repeatedly with ordinary stone bullets. Sima Lun knew very well that in less than an hour, the outermost rammed earth of the attacked section of the city wall had peeled off.

Although it fell only about an inch thick, the outer wall of Luoyang was several battles thick. But no matter how much he doesn't like mundane affairs, Sima Lun also knows: This calculation method is not calculated like this. Stone projectiles repeatedly attack the same section of the wall, and the cumulative force will explode sooner or later. When the time comes, I am afraid that the entire section of the city wall will collapse.

Standing on another section of the city wall next to the bombarded city wall, Sima Yan, who could still clearly feel the shaking under his feet, was already full of despair at this time: "This ...... This...... Can you mobilize the elite, open the city gates, kill the generals, 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 trebuchets, the soldiers of the Han army are all ready to fight. Moreover, the opponent's trebuchet is protected by a low wall, and it is difficult for our army to attack at the top of the city, not to mention, even if you rush out, you will not be able to launch an effective attack without crossing the low wall. But when you go over the low wall, you will fall into the pit. And the Han army outside the pit can easily kill our soldiers......"

"Biography...... Spread the decree, set up the hall, and recruit a list of ministers to come to the meeting. ”

"Yes."

Just as he was about to return, Li Xiang, who was commanding under the city at this time, saw a large canopy on the top of the city.

"Tsk, isn't this Sima Yan here?"

"General Zhonglang, what are you asking me to do all this? I can't read or write, and I don't understand the honor guards of these nobles. ”

"Hey, it's boring. Let me ask you, can the trebuchet, which is now closest to the wall, hit the wall? ”

"A sheepskin pouch can be thrown with a little less water, but a stone bullet can't."

"That's fine, go and beckon them to change the ammunition. Ben was going to give Sima Yan a bath! ”

Just when Sima Yan admonished and encouraged Sima Lun a few words, and then turned around and prepared to go down to the city. Several yellow doors next to it shouted at the same time: "Your Majesty, be careful! ”

Several bags of sheepskin bags carrying a lot of water roared in. One of the bags fell heavily on Sima Yan's canopy, and at the same time as breaking through the curtain on the canopy, the sheepskin sac was also pierced by the sharp edges and corners at the top of the canopy. Then, a large amount of liquid poured down, pouring Sima Yan under the canopy to a heart-cold ......

At the same time, the mansion of the Duke of Julu County and Shangshu Ling Pei Xiu.

In the past, Pei Xiu was very cautious and cautious, and generally did not hold large courtier gatherings in his mansion. But at this time, although Shang Shuling's official position is still there, but in fact, the power has been emptied by Yang Jue, besides, in the Jin Kingdom, where there is no prime minister, Shang Shuling is the prime minister. But how much space is left in the Jin Kingdom now? What do you want the prime minister for?

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

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

Many of the people present here are related to the Sima family by marriage. However, although they married the daughter of the Sima family, they did not have the surname Sima.

Of course, although Pei Jiyan and Jia Cheqi have always been political allies, but at this time, it is the Jia family that is unable to get off the boat. At this time, Pei Jiyan will only guard against Jia Chong.

Although Jia Chong is in charge of playing Cao, when is it now? Did Jin Cao dare to do something to Pei Xiu?

The musician played seriously, and the dancing girl still tried her best to show her graceful dancing. Under the host's frequent toasts and invitations to drink, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer, and the participants were a little drunk.

Although these are all court bigwigs or family representatives, they are very serious with official authority on weekdays. But when was this? It's still a trivial matter that the country is about to end, the key is that Luoyang City is now completely controlled by the Sima family, and everyone is standing aside!

So, this is the last days. With the stimulation of alcohol, everyone began to loosen their clothes and untie their belts, and they had a little profligate appearance.

After seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Pei Xiu raised a glass to Ma Long: "Xiaoxing, please drink this cup." ”

"Hahaha, Shang Shuling, Long has already drunk ten cups today. Although this bottle of incense is not as strong as burning a knife, it is really drunk when you drink too much. So, what is the name of this cup? ”

"Hehehe, Xiaoxing fought two battles in Tongguan, the first battle forced back the Marquis of Tianshui Wulie, and the second battle forced back the former general, such an impressive record, it is worth drinking this cup."

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

Marquis Wulie of Tianshui is Ji Han's nickname for Jiang Wei. Former general, it was an official position given to Zhang Zun by Ji Han. When Pei Xiu said this at this time, he recognized Ji Han's nicknames and official positions. What does that mean?

But Malone was not ambiguous, and after laughing, he stood up and drank this cup directly, which is a statement!

After Ma Long drank this cup, Pei Xiu stood up again and said to Du Pre: "The young master can block Da Sima in Bingzhou, so that he will not be able to enter an inch for half a year, and he is also a famous general in the world, please drink this cup full!" ”

Du Yu hesitated slightly, but still stood up and drank the wine in the cup.

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

Finally came to Shi Chong's place: "Brother Ji Lunxian, Brother Zun is now working as a personal guard by Da Sima's side, it should feel very good, right?" ”

Shi Chong, who heard this, almost lost his soul for a while: his second brother Shi Qiao was working as a guard by Guan Yi's side under the pseudonym Guan Yi, and he was also told by Shi Bao before he died. How did this Pei Jiyan know?

But there's a fart in arguing at this point! So Shi Chong could only stand up and take a big gulp of wine in embarrassment.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their attitude, Pei Xiu nodded at his son Pei Jun. Pei Jun got up and clapped his hands, so all musicians, dancers, and so on, quickly retreated.

Well, maybe the one who withdrew, and the axe man lurking outside the door, right? This Pei Jiyan doesn't look at him usually very gentle, but he can survive the political dispute with Zhong Shiji for many years, can he really do it by being mild? Knife and axeman? That's just a certainty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's meeting is actually to have a good time with everyone. After all, what exactly is the purpose of the trench dug by the big men outside the city, we have finally figured it out now. However, figuring it out, there is no way to counter it. Therefore, in Xiu's view, within two months, Luoyang will be broken! ”

There is absolutely no shortage of generals in the congregation who can lead the army to fight, so as soon as Pei Xiu's words came out, everyone thought for a while, and then nodded lightly in agreement.

"Show people, I like to be neat and neat. So, I won't say more. I invite you to come today, in fact, I want to introduce two sages to you. Two, let's stand in the back for a long time, please come out and see you. ”

With Pei Xiu's greeting, two men about thirty or forty years old walked out from behind the screen.

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