When Ma Long's recital arrived in Luoyang, it was a little unfortunate. Because a state funeral was being held in Luoyang at this time.

Ninety-three-year-old Sima Fu died in May of this year.

No matter how much this elder always insisted in front of people before his death, that it was Wei Chen, who embarrassed the Sima family. But before his death, he was the oldest and highest-ranking elder in the Sima family, so in Sima Jin, who is known as ruling the world with filial piety. The aftermath of this old man must be extremely glorified.

To tell the truth, Ma Long's recital was to save the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State from the tedious and senseless funerals.

"Zhongqing, have you read Xiaoxing's recital? Let's talk about it, how to deal with it? ”

Hey, this year's autumn harvest hasn't started yet. After sighing secretly in his heart, Pei Xiu came out: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Shu thief deliberately hurt himself by eight hundred and will hurt me by one thousand." If troops are sent at this time, the autumn harvest of both countries this year will be greatly affected. However, since the Shu thief is here at this time, we will also deal with it. ”

Since mid-October last year, the Jin Kingdom has actually been preparing for this year's big war.

On the military side, 150,000 conscripts were conscripted. The imperial court allocated three billion yuan to create a new batch of armor. On the civil side, in addition to the temporary tax exemption for families who have been expropriated. In addition, the lower limit of land tax has been raised from 50 mu to 30 mu nationwide.

At the end of last year, the recruits were basically in place. The state also carried out training intensively, and Du Wuku, who was in charge of this matter, did not get all the recruits to Luoyang, but directly assigned the recruits to the future station, and the training was carried out by various localities in combination with the local environment.

After conscription and adjustment, the current distribution of troops in the Jin State is: 30,000 in Tongguan, 80,000 in Luoyang, 140,000 in Bingzhou, 60,000 in Youzhou, 10,000 in Jingzhou, and 10,000 in Yangzhou. A total of 330,000.

In terms of commanders, there is basically no change, only in terms of the state army, the commander has been changed from Wang Jun to Du Pre.

In terms of the quality of the army, the 80,000 people in Luoyang were the worst: a full 60,000 recruits did not even complete the basic training. And the expanded regiments of Bingzhou and Youzhou also account for more than fifty percent of their recruits.

In general, due to the temple calculations in advance, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State did not show too much panic about Ji Han's dispatch of troops to Tongguan.

"In the direction of Tongguan, it is enough for me to respond to all changes with the same Jin. However, in the direction of merging the state, the young master should be able to set off. ”

"There is such a proposal, Your Majesty, please let the ministers go out of the town and merge the state."

"Good, then add the rank of young Fu Pingxi to the rank of general, and control the soldiers and horses of Youji and Sanzhou. From now on, he will go out of Beijing to guard and merge with the state. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, please rest assured, if Guan Zifeng dares to go to Pubanjin, the minister will let him stay on the east bank of the Yellow River and not return to the west."

"Hey, the country is in a difficult situation, please leave everything to the young master."

Du pre-went out of the town and merged with the state, this is something that has been agreed a long time ago, this is nothing. It's just that the key position of the commander of the Luoyang Central Guard Group Army, the leader of the central army left after Du Yu left, was handed over to whom?

Unexpectedly, Sima Yan handed over this position to Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin - the country is now in extreme danger, and the most critical Luoyang still needs to be handed over to relatives to guard.

I have to say that although this group of relatives of the Sima family has done a lot of things on the historical level, it is because the chaos and incompetence of the central government have stimulated their ambitions, and at that time the Sima family had already dominated the world, so this group of relatives dared to mess around. But the current situation is that Ji Han seriously threatens Sima Jin's survival. Therefore, at this time, the Sima family was unprecedentedly united.

At the end of last year, Sima You, the king of Qi, took the lead, and the princes, county kings, and county kings all donated to the royal family more or less. Once again, the royal family was presented with the army of the country. However, the kings of the Jin Empire, who have already been swept once, do not have much power left. The armies handed over by the kingdoms were only about 20,000, and the difference in the combat strength of these troops was huge. Sima Yan changed all this army into royal guards, commanded by himself.

"King Ruyin, after the young master goes north, the defense of Luoyang will be handed over to you."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Luoyang Legion is ready at any time, and once the fighter plane appears, it will launch a thunderous blow to completely annihilate the Shu thief."

In fact, it seems that the Jin State has now recruited soldiers, and has also seized the time to train. However, not to mention the question of how the combat strength will be after training, the biggest hidden danger is that the weapons and equipment are still as bad as ever!

Sima Yan chose Sima Jun as the commander-in-chief of the Luoyang Chinese Army, on the one hand, at this time, he had to hand over the Luoyang Central Army to his relatives to rest assured, and this Sima Jun was a more reliable new generation of Sima Li. On the other hand, Sima Jun has completely torn his face with the Yang family, who is in charge of logistics. With Sima Jun as the commander, the requirements for the arsenal were much stricter and more direct than when Du was there!

Some people may ask: The Yang family has made the arsenal so unpleasant, isn't it okay to remove the Yang family?

The person who asked this question actually had four words: he didn't understand politics. Those who are directly in charge of the big soldiers and those who are in charge of weapons must not be a political faction or not? And the official style of the Jin State is so bad, although the Yang family is also corrupt in the arsenal, but after all, the Hongnong Yang family is a high-ranking family and the current descendant, except for the Yang family's own greed, he needs to take care of few other high-level families. That's a lot better than someone else......

However, it's okay for your Yang family to mess around at ordinary times, but at this time, they will continue to mess around when they start fighting, and then I will be biased towards Uncle Seven.

Not to mention the domestic response of the Jin State, and to say that shortly after Zhang Zun led the army to set off, on the first day of the sixth month, Jiang Wei's troops also drove north.

This was basically a pure cavalry force, Ma Jie brought back 40,000 cavalry from the 70,000 men in Xiping, of which 10,000 were handed over to Guan Yi, and the remaining 30,000 were the main force of this army. There are also 10,000 infantry who have already pressed a batch of grain and grass and set off towards Wuyuan County in advance. When these 30,000 people arrive in Wuyuan, plus Wen Yang's 10,000 garrisons there, this northern front detachment with the strongest mobility will be considered full.

"General, everything is please. According to Si Wencao's intelligence, the Jin State deployed 140,000 troops in Bingzhou, and Du Yuankai led the troops. I think that the progress of Yi will not be too fast, so when the time comes, Yi will still count on the general to support from behind this way. ”

"Hahaha, Zifeng rest assured, the old man has noticed Uncle Meng's performance in Huainan, and he is a good general, but it is a pity that he was born in the Jin Kingdom...... But Zifeng don't worry, didn't I wait for the temple in the court to say that the duration of this battle is calculated as three years? In this place, the terrain is inconvenient, Zifeng is steady and steady, and he takes his time. ”

After sending Jiang Wei away, Guan Yi said to Lu Ya: "Now Du Yuankai has gone to Bingzhou, right?" ”

"According to the information received on May 29, Du Yuankai has left Luoyang."

"Hmph, I don't know when this ox cart rider will arrive in Bingzhou." After muttering a sentence, Guan Yi asked Huo Zaidao again: "How is Ling Xing fighting in Tongguan?" ”

"Uh......" Huo Zai was a little entangled: "How can I say it, in more than ten days, hundreds of stone bullets have been fired, and there are more than 200 casualties, but nothing has been saved." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, where is this Tongguan so easy to fight? Then give the order, the suspicious plan has failed, let him transfer the surplus people back. Chang'an and Huayin are so close, his army is enough for a maximum of 5,000 people. At that time, our side, hey, once we enter the state, this logistics really worries me. ”

"Uh...... Da Sima, his subordinates have a lot of words. Since we have decided that the route of merging states is the main direction of attack, we should not let the Tongguan side move first to startle the snake. The subordinates have now received information that Wang Jun, the assassin of the Jin State and the Prefecture, has led an army of 50,000 and is stationed on the east bank of Pubanjin. Our army only set off at this time, and it has already lost its first hand. ”

"Hahahaha~~ Zhongle, you're good at intelligence, but you're really not good at fighting. Yes, I'm going to Kabasakazu, but who said I had to cross the river in Kabasakazu? ”

"Huh? But Da Sima, the junction of Yonghe is difficult to cross the Luliang Mountain, hundreds of miles down, only Pubanjin there after crossing the river is flat! ”

"Hehe, you will see the arrangement of this general, come on, the order, my main force quickly moved closer to the designated place west of Chang'an, June 10, the army sent to Pubanjin!"
