"Ahh Yes~~! Yes!!! ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? Your Majesty?! ”

"Children are not filial, children are not filial! Damn it! What a shame on our ancestors! ”

"Your Majesty! You're dreaming, don't take it seriously, wake up, wake up! ”

Counting nine cold winters, late at night, in Luoyang, in Sima Yan's bedroom, under the continuous care of Queen Yang Yan, Sima Yan finally woke up from the nightmare.

"Qiongzhi, is that you?"

"Your Majesty, Zitong is here."

"Whew~~ It turned out to be just a dream."

Yang Yan had already gotten up at this time, found a silk scarf, and gently wiped the cold sweat on Sima Yan's body: "What did Your Majesty dream of?" ”

"Well, what else could there be. It's just that my grandfather, uncle, and father asked me in my dreams why I didn't take a good look at the country they left behind. ”

“…… Your Majesty, people are like countries, and countries are like people, and it is normal to have ups and downs. In the end, the Great Jin Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world blessed by the heavens, as long as it survives this difficulty, everything will be fine. ”

"Hehe......" gently stroked Yang Yan's face, looking at this woman who has given birth to six children since she was seventeen years old, which has caused her body to be very weak. Sima Yan only felt a peace in his heart.

Perhaps, only in front of the queen can I show such a weak side.

"Your Majesty, can you be relieved? At this time, there are less than three watches, do you want to sleep for a while? ”

"Well, I can't sleep. Qiongzhi, you go to sleep first, and I will go to the study and sit for a while. ”

After leaving the dormitory, he took a deep breath of the cold air outside, and his spirit suddenly improved: "Pass the decree, go to the imperial study." In addition, let the King of Qi, the King of Ruyin, Shang Shuling, the general of the Che Cai, and Yang Fushu wait to meet in the study. ”

"Yes."

On such a cold night, anyone who was suddenly called out from the warm bed by his own emperor was unhappy. But after these people arrived at the study, Sima Yan's first question made them suddenly become extremely sober.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the general has been confronting Jiang Boyo in Jizhou for seven or eight months, what is he going to do?"

"Your Majesty!" Hearing Sima Yan say such words, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong and the others only felt extremely desolate in their hearts: It's over! The general has been hanging alone with heavy troops for a long time, and what he is most afraid of is that the emperor at home is suspicious. The indecisive emperor actually said such a thing at this time, and there is no doubt that he has been thinking about it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the general was promoted by Emperor Xuan in the past, and he has held important positions in Yongliang, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other important places for many years. In each of his terms, although he may not have done everything well, he has definitely been conscientious. Such a person is the most loyal to my Dajin. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the general is the son of Situ Chen Jiao of the former Wei State, although the Guangling Chen family is not as prominent as the Yingchuan Chen family, but it is also a retired minister. How could such a person have any other thoughts about His Majesty? ”

"But...... Starting this summer, it will be the end of the year. Why is the general still confronting Jiang Boyo in Jizhou? I gave him 10,000 Yuzhou recruits, not to mention, but also gave him 10,000 of Xiaoxing's elites in Tongguan. Now he has 120,000 men under his command! Why are you still there? ”

"Your Majesty, we are replenishing the forces of the powerful general. The Han Kingdom is also reinforcing Jiang Boyo's troops. It is reported that the Han State successively replenished 70,000 soldiers into Jizhou. Jiang Boyo's side, according to Jin Cao's careful calculation, is about 110,000. The strength of the two sides is actually about the same now! The general is now leading the last main force of my Great Jin, and it is impossible to be too cautious. ”

"Yes...... Hey, Shang Shuling, how can this help the general speak again? Today, in the court during the day, don't you still complain that the more than 200,000 troops are outside, and the national grain depot is dying, and it is no longer sustainable? ”

"Your Majesty!" On the historical plane, Pei Xiu died in 271. At that time, the cause of death was that he was taken with cold wine when he ate Wushi San. In this plane, because the traverser forced the Jin Kingdom very badly, Pei Shangshu was usually busy to death, and he had no leisure to disperse, so he was still alive at this time. But in any case, his body had already collapsed because of too much disservice in his early years, and the usual quarrels in the court were more done by his ally Jia Chong. But now when he heard Sima Yan's unobtrusive questioning, he suddenly jumped to his feet.

"Your Majesty, the country has long supported more than 200,000 troops to fight abroad, and the treasury is indeed gradually empty. Before the start of the war last year, the state had more than 20 million stone of grain in stock. Up to now, with the autumn grain in storage this year, it is less than 8 million stones. Among them, the army did not consume too much, but more of the previous deficits in various places, which were exposed after this battle. But! It is also true that the war is now deadlocked. Combining the two, we must not urge the generals and young masters in front to take the initiative to attack just because the national grain depot is empty. The only thing we courtiers in the rear can do is to do our best to find food everywhere to supply the needs of the army. ”

Seeing that this old minister, who had entered Sima Yi's shogunate since he was twenty years old and had assisted Sima Shi and Sima Zhao successively, became angry at this time, Sima Yan was a little afraid in his heart, but he quickly asked unwillingly: "The treasury is insufficient, I will cut Xiangyang to Dongwu according to the will of you and Jia Cheqi, and let them give us food." But how many did Wu Guo send? What about the five million? ”

It can be said that after Jia Chong and Zhuge Liang secretly met with Zhonghui, the new general of Eastern Wu had already made his choice.

The request to destroy the Yingchuan Zhong clan is a joke: even if Zhong Hui really wants to, it is impossible for the Jin Kingdom to agree. At this time, there is no victory on the battlefield, and the families with the attribute of wall grass are waiting and seeing. Do you dare to do it to Yingchuan Zhong at this time? What do the Chen and Xun clans, who are also members of the Yingchuan clan, think?

For two consecutive years, five million stone grains were supported to the Jin State every year. This Sun Hao agreed. But it was useless for Emperor Guang to agree, because the executor was Zhong Hui, and at this point, he gave full play to the fine traditions of the Zhuxia bureaucracy: to kick back, to shoddy, to inflate the loss of transportation on the road, and so on. Then at this time, the Dongwu families who actively entered Huainan also cooperated with General Zhong's actions: everyone thinks that the general is really good, not to mention that he made a fortune himself, but also took everyone to get rich together!

And once the family is rotten, there is no lower limit to what can be done. As a result, while Zhong Hui quickly won the favor of the domestic family, the grain actually imported into the Jin State by the Wu State in 273 was only more than 2 million stones, and among them, the brown rice of the old valley and mildew accounted for a considerable part of the refined grain, which was to be imported to Ji Han and asked them to exchange it for high-grade wine to sell. How can you be willing to give you Jinguo?

"Your Majesty, the official style of the State of Wu is the worst among the Three Kingdoms, and although this situation is a little excessive, it is still reasonable. The ministers have already sent letters to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shangshutai of Wu State, asking them to strengthen management. ”

"Humph! And what about their army? After taking my Xiangyang, did you mobilize the main force of the Han State to come back to help? ”

"Your Majesty, when it comes to this, Wu Guo really tried his best." At this time, Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin, who stood up: "In that place in the three counties of Shangyong, the minister has been there for more than half a year. The terrain there is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Lu Youjie of Eastern Wu set out from Xiangyang, and was able to defeat the resistance of Cao Yi and other traitors in half a year, and completely expelled them from the three counties of Shangyong, which was ashamed of himself! ”

In the past six months, the battlefields in Bingzhou and Jizhou have been very quiet. The only place that makes a fuss is the three counties of Shangyong. Lu Kang led an army of 120,000 troops from Xiangyang to attack Shangyong, but Cao Yi and others were completely unable to resist and quickly asked Luo Xian, who was sitting in Hanzhong, for help. But Luo Xian only had a few thousand people in his hands, and he couldn't give reinforcements. Therefore, the final result was: Cao Yi and others were divided into two parts after the field battle was unfavorable, one stayed in the lofty mountains and mountains of Shangyong to fight guerrillas, and the other withdrew to the golden city of Hanzhong County of Ji Han: Ji Han strictly forbade cement leakage, and cities not under the control of his army were not allowed to use cement. But the Golden City is different, as a barrier for Jihan Hanzhong County to defend against enemies from the east, it has long been fortified here.

Even so, with Luo Xian and Cao Yi combined, there were less than 20,000 people. This alarmed Huo Yi, who was guarding Chengdu, and Ma Yi in Nanzhong. After Huo Yi personally led the 3,000 defenders of Chengdu to the north, Ma Yi also sent 5,000 Wudang Fei troops in Nanzhong and 5,000 private soldiers of the Li family and the Meng family.

After investing such strength, especially the Wudang Fei Army from Nanzhong, cut off the grain routes of the Wu army everywhere in the mountains of Shangyong Three Counties, it was able to drag Lu Kang's advance.

However, Soochow's influence on this war is already the limit. After all, they did not break through Ji Han's main defense line, and after all, they failed to force Ji Han's expeditionary force to shrink back to help.
