Chapter 474: Luoyang is Luoyang (2)

"Bell~Bell~~Bell~~~"

Luoyang, in the temple of the Jin Kingdom, the musicians struck the bell very tactfully and melodiously, and more than 200 people from Sima Yan and his Sima family clan worshiped the spiritual position of Sima Yi and others in the music with solemn expressions.

In the Battle of Continental Ze, the Jin Army and the Jizhou Front Army were completely annihilated. There was no longer any obstacle in front of the enemy's Eastern Route Army. From Dazhuze to Renxian to Yecheng to the Yellow River to Yanzhou, it has been all the way smooth. The state can no longer hold them back with a weighty force.

At present, the enemy army is still making slight adjustments and coordinating local relations north of the Yellow River. But once this force crosses the Yellow River in the south, then all the troops that are now on the front line of Bingzhou will be copied from the back road.

Therefore, there is no point in stationing troops in the direction of the state to move the whole body and move the whole body.

The enemy's main forces have come from both the east and north. Therefore, Tongguan in the west has no point in garrisoning.

Now, if you don't want to surrender here, the only thing the whole country can rely on is Luoyang, the largest city in the world......

Sima Yan's problem is indecision, but as Wang Yuanji's son, his IQ is still sufficient. Of course, he understands these questions. Therefore, after the news of Dazhu Ze came, after a short discussion with Pei Xiu and others, he still made the decision to abandon all defensive lines and stick to Luoyang with the whole army.

It's a dying struggle, isn't it?

How so? I've only been a country for less than ten years. Cao Wei has more than 40 years of national glory, and the country that has only experienced one emperor from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country, it seems that there was only a new dynasty before, right? But the new dynasty has fifteen years of national glory! A country that perished in less than ten years after its founding is afraid that there is no such thing throughout the ages, right?

Restless, out of the temple, nearly 200 clans came to the court together: this was unimaginable before, and only princes and county kings were eligible to participate in the court. But now it's different, when the country is in danger, the ministers are no longer reliable - most of them used to be Cao Wei's courtiers, and a very few were Liu Xie's courtiers. If the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, it would not be a problem for them to change another emperor at all.

If nothing else, let's talk about the great retreat of Hebei some time ago. This Jia Chong actually sent a thousand Jin Cao into Yecheng, wanting to kill all the Cao clansmen. Fortunately, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao who was sitting in Yecheng at that time, discovered and effectively stopped this action in time. Otherwise, if Luoyang City is broken in the future, the Han family may give the Sima family preferential treatment according to the old practice, and the Cao family will not die for the Sima family.

Although Jia Chong's move was also rooted in the bad things that Sima Zhao did back then. But this action shows that the courtiers have begun to fall out of the emperor's control.

Therefore, at this time, the most reliable person can only be the clan.

"Alas, uncles and brothers, rank and order. I don't want to say much about the current situation of the country, now, the only thing we can do is to stick to Luoyang, if we can hold it for three years and two plantings, and force the Han State to withdraw its troops. Well, there is still a glimmer of life for the country. It's just that how to defend the city, please discuss it. ”

After Sima Yan said this, there was silence in the court. Such as Sima You, Sima Jun, Sima Gui, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Du Pre, Wei Guan, Yang Hu, Ma Long and others, all looked weird.

This battle has been fought so far, and you have lost so badly, don't you have any points in your heart?!

At the beginning, when the enemy army launched an attack at Tongguan, we said that it was a feint and we didn't care. If you don't listen, you have to ask the king of Taiyuan to send 20,000 troops south. As a result, Sima Gui just walked on the front foot, and Guan Yi took Taiyuan in the back.

When Guan Zifeng first arrived in Taiyuan, the grain route was blocked, and he did not dare to pour all the 150,000 main forces into the state. At that time, he had less than 100,000 troops under his command. We said that we should hurry up and drive the Chinese army out, and together with the troops of Bingzhou, a total of more than 200,000 people, we will fight a decisive battle with Guan Zifeng in Bingzhou. As a result, a few pieces of rammed earth fell on the city wall of Tongguan, and you were frightened and did not allow the Chinese army to drive out. Sit and watch Guan Zifeng slowly gain a foothold in Bingzhou.

Jiang Boyo sent troops to Youzhou, and we advise you to drive the Chinese army to Youzhou to support Uncle Meng and General Gou Dao. As a result, because the Han army rushed to the head of Tongguan City, you still didn't dare to drive the Chinese army out. As a result, Uncle Meng died in battle, and Gou Daojiang died even more aggrieved.

Finally, the Han army on the other side of Tongguan retreated, and you were finally willing to let the Chinese army out. But by that time, the fighter had been lost, and the only thing that could be done was to consume it. We also looked for foreign aid everywhere, and brought food and reinforcements in Soochow. But you hurriedly urged Chen Xiuyuan to send troops to a decisive battle, and the result? Chen Qian, Wang Hun, Hu Lie, Yang Zhao, Jiang Ban, Jiao Yi...... All of them are rare generals in the country! Just like that, it's all lost!

It can be said that every time you have a choice, you have made the wrong choice! If it weren't for your blind command, we might have lost, but we would never have lost so badly! Within two years, Dingtian will lose the state, and at most add Youzhou. Where will it be like today, only to be trapped in the lonely city of Luoyang!

The foundation of this country was laid by your grandfather, uncle, and father. What you're doing is nothing more than letting Cao Huan's puppet abdicate. This kind of thing, as long as it is a person surnamed Sima, it can be done, not that you have to! The old men followed your grandfather, uncle, and father to overcome obstacles and difficulties, and marched forward in the bloody storm for the establishment of this country, and they paid much more than you! What qualifies you to be such a loser?

It's a pity for the many soldiers who fought to the last moment for this country!

However, now that the enemy army will soon be under the city, there is no need for us to change the emperor's notoriety of vain abolition. But ah, we're upset right now, so we don't answer your question!

After an embarrassing silence in the entire imperial court, a sigh sounded, but it was the Hongnong Yang Clan seed left by Sima Yan, and Shang Shufu shot Yang Wenju and stood up.

"Your Majesty, rely on Luoyang to hold on. In Chen's view, there are three things that need to be done in advance. ”

"Oh, Wen Ju, please speak, I listen to you."

"Don't dare, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the first thing is to gather the people on the outskirts of Luoyang into the city. After that, among these people, Zhuang Ding was selected to go to the city to assist in the defense. Your Majesty, all the princes, all the officials, and the ministers are in charge of household registration in Shangshutai, and around Luoyang, there are more than 600,000 mouths (Cao Ei period) at the peak, and even now there are more than 400,000 mouths (repeated large-scale losses of the Chinese army). It is not a problem to extract 50,000 strong people from this. ”

"But, please Wen Ju continue."

"Your Majesty, this second thing is to collect grain and grass. 400,000 people, more than 100,000 soldiers, as well as many princes and ministers and their relatives and subordinates, the population of the city is only less than 600,000. Grain consumption in January was close to one million stones. According to Shangshutai's figures, the current grain inventory in Luoyang City is less than 10 million stones, so this grain will not last for a year. ”

"So, how do you collect it?"

"Your Majesty should issue an order to transfer all the grain stocks in Chenliu in Yanzhou, Xuchang in Yuzhou, and Wancheng in Jingzhou to Luoyang. The distance in Xuzhou is too far, and it is estimated that it is too late. In addition, we must urgently summon Soochow so so that it can quickly support us with another batch of food. Efforts should be made to reserve more than 20 million stone of grain in Luoyang by April. After the war started, we could consult with the Han State on the way, and we said that there was not enough food in the city, and we took the initiative to let the people eat in the fields. With Guan Zifeng's hypocritical and shameless nature, I think the other party will agree. In this way, in terms of food alone, we can support it for about three years. ”

"Wen Ju is talented, I'm right! This matter will be fully supervised by Shang Shutai, well, King Qi, you are fully responsible for this matter. ”

"Uh...... The subordinate brother leads the order. ”

Oh, this Yang Wenju is really good, much stronger than his brother who always has bad ideas, why didn't I find out before? Knowing this, he used him as the representative of the Yang family to contain King Qi and the others.

"Wen Ju, what about the third one?"

"The third thing, reinforcements. Your Majesty, defending the city is the most taboo. After a long time, not to mention the low morale, the soldiers defending the city will also have a lot of strange thoughts. Therefore, if the defenders of the city knew that there were reinforcements outside the city, their will would be much stronger. In today's world, under the condition that the princes' guards have already contributed to the country three times, only the state of Wu has the ability to effectively support our Great Jin. His Majesty should send a weighty envoy to the state of Wu urgently. My Great Jin will use Luoyang, a fortified city, to consume the strength of the Han State, but the main force of the Wu State should be stationed not far from my Luoyang, and when the veterans of the Han State Division are tired, the two countries will join forces to counterattack, if the ancestors are blessed, the Han State will suffer heavy losses. Then everything I lost in this war can be claimed back in one battle! ”
