Chapter 11 refers to Sang scolding Huai

In August 304 AD, Sima Ying coerced the emperor to defect to Luoyang, at this time Luoyang was controlled by Sima Ying's subordinate Zhang Fang, Zhang Fang saw that Sima Ying was so depressed, so he reported to Sima Ying, Sima Ying then ordered Sima Ying to leave Luoyang, back to the fiefdom of Yecheng, in fact, it was abandoned.

In November of the same year, before Sima Ying set off, Sima Yue led his troops to approach Luoyang, Zhang Fang knew that he was invincible, avoided its edge, and held Sima Zhen hostage, Sima Ying moved the capital to Chang'an, and Sima Hao selected 100 officials in Chang'an to take charge of the government.

In December of the same year, in order to retire Sima Yue's soldiers, Sima Hao asked Sima Cheng to issue an edict to abolish Sima Ying's position as the emperor's younger brother, and reward Sima Yue with a heavy reward, asking him to return to the dynasty and jointly assist him. But Sima Yue knew that his strength was strong and his troops were flourishing, so he refused to obey the edict.

At the beginning of 305 AD, Sima Hao saw that Sima Yue occupied Luoyang and had lofty ambitions, so he instigated Sima Cheng to issue an edict and recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to crusade against Sima Yue and others. Sima Yue was not to be outdone, and then wanted to raise troops in the name of "Qing Jun's side, punish Sima Hao", Wang Jun offered a plan: "Sima Hao is a royal clan, this name is really inappropriate." Zhang Fangnai is the right-hand man of the king of Hejian, brave and strategic, it is really a big trouble, and he coerced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, which is a great crime, and can be punished in the name of this. ”

After the fiasco of Yecheng, Sima Yue was much more cautious, and said: "Lord Zhang is smart, a pun on one word, and two birds with one stone!" ”

Immediately ordered someone to write a text, playing the banner of "Zhang Fang robbed and relocated the holy car, the world was resentful, and he wanted to welcome the big driver and restore the old capital Luoyang", and marched into the pass.

Sima Yue sent an envoy to Chang'an to lobby Sima Hao, promising that as long as Sima Hao sent the emperor back to the capital, he would capture and kill Zhang Fang. and Sima Hao assisted the government and divided the whole country equally. Sima Hao knew that Sima Yue had the help of the Hu people, and his strength was strong, and now it was not what it used to be, and he wanted to be obedient.

When Zhang Fang heard about this, he hurriedly asked to see Sima Yue, knelt on the ground and cried: "The last general has followed the prince for several years, loyal and courageous, begging the king of Zhao, the king of Qi, guarding Luoyang, and containing Yecheng, how can the prince abandon the last general because of Sima Yue's discordant words." What's more, the prince sits in Guanzhong, with more than 100,000 soldiers, and the last general is willing to lead troops to send the emperor back to Luoyang in person to block Sima Yue's mouth. The prince can stay in Guanzhong, let Sima Ying return to Ye, contain Sima Yue, if he does not retreat, the end will naturally send troops to fight for it, in this way, Sima Yue's fallacy will be broken, and the situation will be stable. ”

General Sima Hao was suspicious and indifferent, but he was unwilling to make peace before the battle, so he ordered him to retreat. He then ordered Liu Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou, to lead his troops eastward to fight against Sima Yue, and Sima Ying guarded the river bridge as reinforcements.

Sima Yue personally led 30,000 soldiers to the west, to Xiao County, and Liu Qiao encountered, the battle, Sima Yue was defeated, and he was about to be defeated. Another of his close relatives, Sima Yu, led 800 Hu cavalry to arrive, Liu Qiao's army was overwhelmed by the cavalry impact, Sima Yue then returned to defeat and turned into victory, and the troops approached Chang'an. Sima Yu led Hu cavalry to attack the river bridge and defeated Sima Ying, who fled into Nanshan with only a few soldiers.

When the news reached Chang'an, Sima Hao was very panicked, so he ordered someone to assassinate Zhang Fang at night and send his head to Sima Yue's army, thinking that he could be ordered to retreat. However, Sima Yue had the chance to win and ignored it. Sima Hao had to send another general to guard Tongguan to stop Sima Yue.

However, as soon as Zhang Fang died, all the generals in Guanzhong were in danger, and after Sima Yue broke through Tongguan with Hu Cai, those who surrendered the city abounded, and Sima Yue almost reached the city of Chang'an without blood. Seeing that he was overwhelmed and the army had no fighting spirit, Sima Hao was afraid that he would be defeated and killed like Sima Lun and Sima Jian, so he had to flee from Chang'an on a single horse and hide in Taibai Mountain.

At the beginning of 306 AD, Sima Yue led his army into Chang'an. Conniving at the Xianbei soldiers to burn and loot, Sima Hao's money and grain accumulated for many years were plundered, and more than 20,000 ministers and soldiers were killed, and then Sima Yue returned to Luoyang with the emperor Sima Zhen. Sima Yue monopolized the power, sealed his close parents, and people from all walks of life also received rewards and returned to their respective territories.

At this time, although Sima Yue was powerful, he still couldn't rest assured that Sima Hao and Sima Ying. So he sent an envoy to Guanzhong to spread the edict and recruit Sima Hao to serve in Beijing, Sima Hao was already heartbroken, thinking that Sima Yue was just putting him under house arrest in the capital and still enjoying wealth and wealth, so he willingly followed the envoy to Luoyang, but was strangled to death by the envoy in the car on the way.

As early as when Sima Ying was guarding the river bridge, he had heard that Liu Yuan led five Xiongnu troops to raise troops in Lishi, and defeated Sima Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, several times, and shocked Heshuo. The Gongshi Domain also raised troops in Qinghe County in the name of aiding the King of Chengdu, and the surrounding counties responded one after another, with tens of thousands of soldiers, trying to recover Yecheng. Heqiao was defeated, Sima Ying infiltrated Nanshan, and then prepared to go to the Gongshi Domain, regain his strength, and have made the embers rekindled.

In September 306 AD, Sima Ying traveled to Dunqiu, was captured by Feng Song, sent to Yecheng for detention, at this time it was the mortal enemy Sima Yu who guarded Yecheng, Sima Yu Nian and the same clan could not bear to inflict harm, so he imprisoned Yecheng, in October, Sima Ying died of a violent illness, and his subordinates thought that Sima Ying had prestige in Ye, and was afraid of accidents, so he hanged him.

Although Sima Ying is dead, but his subordinates are still fighting for him, if you know what the fate of the two of them is, whether Sima Yue will be replaced by someone in power, and look at the next chapter.
