Chapter Eighty-Three: Escape
Sima Yue and Gou Xi fought separately, did not rescue each other, although there was the support of the artillery car, but without the command of Zu Li Liu Kun, the artillery car could not exert its full power, and the Zhao army prepared a shield car, which could block the stone bullets of the Jin army, the Zhao army was very urgent, seeing that the Jin army was not supported, and the casualties were heavy, Wei Huacun of the Heavenly Master Dao led the four elders and Taoists to the city to support the Jin army, plus Mo Dingfei also led the gang to Luoyang in advance, in this way, the Jin army barely blocked the Zhao army's several attacks, but the Jin army suffered too many casualties, Tens of thousands of people were lost, and Sima Yue alone lost 30,000 people.
Before dawn the next day, Sima Yue's men and horses only left a few people to stand guard at the head of the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all gathered by Sima Fan and drove out from the south gate, it turned out that Sima Yue was going to escape!
Sima Yue had prepared early, packed all his belongings, and fought with the Yue army today, feeling powerless, afraid that the Zhao army would not be able to withstand the siege again, and he would become a prisoner, so Sima Yue decided to pull his team away before dawn.
Sima Yue's entire net worth has more than 30 carts, walking at the front of the team mightily, in the middle is Sima Yue's family, Pei Wenyu is among them, however, she was forcibly put on the car, and there are two soldiers and two maids in the same car with her, in order to prevent her from doing impulsive things, but the people who can control her can't control her mouth: "Sima Yue, you are an unfaithful and unrighteous traitor, you are the prince of the royal family in vain, you will fly by yourself when the disaster comes, leaving behind the emperor and courtiers, and hundreds of thousands of people, Aren't you afraid of leaving behind a thousand years of infamy! ”
Si Minyue heard it in front, ignored her, and let her shout, not only did he not have a trace of guilt in his heart, but he was smug, not only did he escape, but he also wanted to return Pei Wenyu, Sima Quan, Sima Quan, you will die with Sima Chi, hahahaha.
This side of the team marched towards Xuchang, Luoyang has fallen into chaos, people heard that Sima Yue ran away, people were panicked, there were dozens of royal relatives in the city, and there were sixty princes of all sizes packed up their things and left Luoyang, to chase Sima Yue, to go to Xuchang with him.
Sima Chi was immediately in danger, once the city was broken, he would become a prisoner, he summoned Gou Xi and Jin Muchen to discuss countermeasures, Gou Xi said: "At present, only recruit all the Ding Zhuang men in the city to participate in the defense of the city, otherwise, the minister's troops will not be able to resist the Vietnamese army at all." ”
Jin Wuchen said: "General Gou, can the recruited men withstand the Zhao army?" ”
"It can be for a while, but it can't fundamentally defeat the Zhao army, and it can't solve the siege of Luoyang."
"Since we all understand, we have to find another way, General Gou immediately recruits men, and I go to move troops."
"Move troops, King Luozhong, where are the soldiers to move now?"
"Your Majesty, Sima Yue didn't run far, wait for the ministers to chase him back, and order him to return to the army to guard Luoyang, and then along the way to the state and county soldiers, I believe that Luoyang can turn the corner of danger."
"But, King Luozhong, how could Sima Yue listen to you, and since he planned to escape, how could he listen to your persuasion to return to Luoyang?"
"Your Majesty, the minister wants a holy decree and orders him to return to the army, after I catch up with him, I will show the holy decree, if he refuses to obey the decree, the minister will kill him, and then bring the troops back!"
"Sima Yue's escape is really a punishment, I will make an order, you take it and go to chase it immediately, if Sima Yue does not listen to the persuasion, he will be killed!"
"Yes!"
Sima Chi prepared the holy decree and asked Jin Muchen to chase after him, and Jin Muchen immediately set off out of Luoyang City.
Jin Muchen kept moving, the horse was fast, but the horse ran slowly, galloping all the way, and caught up with Sima Yue's men and horses at noon.
Sima Yue's herald came to report: "Lord Wang, there is a horse chasing after you!" ”
Sima Yue ordered to stop the convoy and the people, got out of the car, and saw Jin Muchen running towards here, he said in his heart, Sima Quan, you are coming back to Wenyu again, you want to be beautiful!
Sima Yue ordered someone to stop Jin Muchen, but Jin Muchen stopped Ma Liang and said, "Holy Decree!" ”
The people who stopped him couldn't help but retreat to the side, just when he was about to rush to Sima Yue, his own soldiers stopped Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen stopped and dismounted and read out the holy decree: "The emperor's edict said: Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, is in charge of the country's heavy troops, and bears the responsibility of protecting the country. Chin this! ”
"Hahahaha,,, it's really pedantic, is this breaking holy decree still useful to this king, in the eyes of this king, this is bullshit, just a piece of waste paper, Sima Chi Sima Quan, don't think that this king will go back to save Luoyang, isn't Sima Chi going to crusade against this king, isn't he going to kill, then let him taste the taste of being a prisoner first, hehe, return the emperor, bah, tomorrow will be a prisoner of Zhao Jun, now there is a good show!"
"Sima Yue, you are not human! You will become the sinner of the Great Jin! Pei Wenyu said from the car, and asked to get out of the car, the soldier wanted to hold her down, and she slapped her a few times: "Get out!" ”
Pei Wenyu got out of the car and came to Jin Muchen: "Brother Quan, Sima Yue won't go back with you, he can't wait for Luoyang City to be broken and the emperor to be captured, so he can be the emperor!" ”
Sima Yue said: "Wenyu, isn't that good, don't you know that I have always dreamed of making you queen, don't you understand my kindness?" ”
"I don't want it, I just need to serve the country and the people, Brother Quan, the emperor said that you don't care about killing, you kill him!" Pei Wenyu said angrily.
Jin Muchen said: "Sima Yue, if you insist on going your own way, then I have no choice but to act according to the order!" ”
"Want to kill me? It's all my soldiers and horses, you might as well try it! ”
"Everyone, listen, Sima Yue is a chaotic minister and a thief, who dares to stop me when I kill him on the orders of the emperor!" Jin Muchen snatched a sword from the soldier on the side and walked towards Sima Yue, while Pei Wenyu followed behind him.
"Kill him to this king! Shoot your arrows! Si Minyue roared.
Jin Muchen held the holy decree in his left hand, and all the soldiers did not dare to release arrows, after all, no one wanted to be charged with disobeying the holy decree.
Although the soldiers didn't dare, one person stood in front of Sima Yue, holding a bow and arrow in his hand and said loudly: "Sima Quan, you take a step forward and be careful that the bow and arrow have no eyes!" ”
This man was Sima Yue's son, Sima Bi, and of course he had to protect his father.
Jin Muchen said: "Do you father and son have to bear the infamy of thieves?!" ”
"I don't care, I just know that my father did nothing wrong, since the emperor wants to deal with my father, why do we have to protect him with all our lives, Sima Quan, if you take another step, I really want to shoot you!"
"You dare!" He holds the Divine Decree in his hand.
Sima Bi saw Jin Muchen coming forward, pulled a full string, and with a bang, shot an arrow, flying straight towards Jin Muchen's chest!
