Chapter 154: The Emperor's Summons

Soon, the emperor's summons spread all over the world, and at the same time as the emperor's summons, the news that the western army was marching east to kill the national capital, and the news that the Huns in northern Xinjiang were preparing to go south to plunder the Great Jin.

When the people heard the news, some were shocked and some were surprised, and many people maintained a neutral attitude, because in their concept, no matter who became the emperor, they still had to pay taxes and work so hard to support these officials.

In this Great Jin Dynasty, there are too many leech-like officials, which sucks the Great Jin treasury and declines the national strength, and also sucks the people to the point that their faces are yellow and thin, making the roots of the people's teeth itch.

But as soon as Sima Long's summons came out, the forces of the imprisoned officials in the national capital also determined the current situation, their masters were indeed detained by the emperor, but now the strength of the imperial family is not so strong, at least the two powerful forces they are currently facing are enough to eliminate them.

However, the emperor's summons could not be disobeyed, so many people began to slowly assemble the army, and then on the side of the drill, the beautiful name said: pre-war mobilization or pre-war drill, and after the drill, they began to slowly walk towards the national capital with soldiers and horses.

But there are also people, their strength is slightly weaker, they don't want the fall of the Great Jin, if the fall of the Great Jin royal family, they will face the Western Army or other big forces, when the time comes, it is difficult for them to escape the fate of being wiped out or annexed, now it is better to fully support the royal family, let the royal family pass this pass, and then take advantage of this time to develop well, it is really not good, you can also find a strong and powerful master for yourself through this battle.

People with this mentality are in a hurry to go to the national capital, so they move quickly.

These people are only a part, the real generals with heavy troops are the objects that need to be summoned this time, they hold heavy troops one by one, guard the border passes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, they are the local emperor on weekdays, and all the local military and political power is basically in their hands.

Now that they want to throw away their family wealth and take the troops to King Qin, the national capital, these people can't help but have a small calculation. What if Dajin loses this time? Wouldn't they become cannon fodder if they went, and this place that had been running for ten or even decades would definitely be eaten by those guys around them.

And even if the Great Jin wins this war, the strength will be greatly damaged, and it is even likely to collapse from now on, so even if they don't go, they won't have the ability to crusade against them again, and they can still take advantage of this time to develop well.

Even, if the situation in the national capital is anxious, and no one can spare their hands to take care of themselves, then why not set himself up as a king?

Everyone is making small calculations, calculating how to put themselves in the most advantageous position, so that they can get a piece of the pie in this war, and get as much war dividends as possible.

In the north, when Zhao Yi received the news that the imperial court required him to resist the Huns with all his might, he looked at the vast grassland in front of him with deep eyes, and then tore the emperor's summons to shreds.

In southern Xinjiang, Ouyang Jing, the commander of the Southern Army, took the emperor's summons and sent it for a long time, and then as if he had an epiphany, he nodded fiercely, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and then strode out of the camp, he was going to mobilize the army to go to the capital of Qinwang!

On the coast of the East China Sea, Zhang Quan, the governor of the Eastern Army and the commander of the navy, frowned, looking at the emperor's summons, he was the governor of the navy, and there was no waterway to reach the national capital, he took a group of sailors to fight on land against the infantry of those ironclad war horses, which was very unreasonable!

"The king's order cannot be violated, no matter what!"

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Quan made up his mind that his tens of thousands of sailors, even if they all fought on foot, could play some role, and besides, the Sima family was as kind to his Zhang family as a mountain, protecting their Zhang family everywhere, even if he fought hard, he would keep the throne of the Sima family, and he would also keep the Great Jin Dynasty alive.

"Everyone, take a boat to the national capital, reach the end of the waterway, and then get off the boat and hurry, be sure to arrive at the national capital within five days to defend the emperor!"

It was also the eastern part of the Jin Kingdom, and Sima Xiao, the commander of the infantry regiment of the Eastern Legion, looked at the edict in his hand and sneered.

"Sima Long, Sima Long, now it's finally your turn, hmph, this is called good and evil rewarded."

Thinking of Sima Long's mood at the moment, Sima Xiao felt very comfortable, when Sima Long had just succeeded to the throne, he would all his brothers worship the official and be crowned king, and he was sent out of the national capital, just worried about his throne.

And he, the pampered little prince, is now near the East China Sea, training every day, exposed to the sun and rain, all of which are given by Sima Long, although the throne belongs to their Sima family, but now he is not cold, because, in his heart, the throne is only Sima Long's alone, even if he dies, it will be his son's, or his grandson's, and it is impossible for it to fall on himself.

Then, what are you worried about, maybe Sima Long is dead, and he can still summon some diehard members of the Great Jin Dynasty to fight back as the remnant of the Great Jin royal family, even if it is not good, he can also divide one side and split the soil and seal the king.

Sima Xiao gathered the army, and then slowly walked around the road, heading towards the national capital, he was not going to King Qin, he was just observing the situation, and by the way, he was going to clean up the mess, maybe he could take advantage of the weakness to enter, occupy the national capital, and establish himself as the emperor?

In this era of war and chaos, anything can happen, as long as you have the courage to do it.

Of course, the most pressure now is Ancheng in the west of the national capital, and the city guard is the Huang family, a great nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, but it just so happens that the head of the Huang family, that is, the city guard of Ancheng, is named Huang Jia.

This morning he just received a summons from the emperor, ordering him to defend Anseong, and now the national capital has sent troops to Anseong, and they will help them to defend Anseong together, and strive to block the western army in Anseong and protect the peace of the country.

But he also knows that his catties and two, because of his proximity to the national capital, so he never thought about training or anything, after all, generally no one will be able to fight here, if the national capital is a little troubled, look at the situation by himself, and choose the right master when the time comes, his Huang family will still continue to be rich and rich.

But now that the Western Army is coming, the Western Army, which is known as invincible in the world and has never been defeated, has come, and it will soon be killed in Ancheng, and Ancheng will no longer be peaceful, which also makes Huang Jia's eyes bloodshot.

With more than 10,000 men and horses, how could he stop the Western Army, if he ordered to resist with all his strength at that time, he would definitely be killed after the Western Army broke the door, and maybe the entire Huang family would be implicated.

So Huang Jia decided, discarding Ancheng, after the Western Army arrived, he bluffed to give them a war letter, about fighting them, so delayed for a day and then fled to the national capital with the army, this day is enough time for the people to scatter and flee for their lives, and it should be the best ending to do this by himself.

But now the emperor has an edict, and he let himself defend Ancheng, it is a dead guard, not a rule of how many days can be retreated, if he fails to resist, his Huang family will be raided, how is this good, his Huang family lives on the royal family, nearly half of the family's industry is in the national capital, let him give up this property, he can't do it.

"No matter what, if you fight, it will be my Huang family who has contributed to the Great Jin."

Huang Jia gritted her teeth, her face trembled, and she also had a fierce appearance, and she looked a lot more majestic than usual.

"No, we will definitely not be able to hold Ancheng, we must ask the emperor to send us troops, otherwise we will defend it for a day at most."

Huang Jia muttered alone, and then wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to the national capital overnight, so he was relieved to gather the army and plan to defend Ancheng.

Sima Long in the palace couldn't cry or laugh when he saw the letter written by Huang Jia, his conditions were really strange: increase the rank of official, send troops to aid Ancheng, the more the better, he tried his best to hold Ancheng and buy time for the national capital as much as possible. These conditions are normal, but what he saw later was that he couldn't cry or laugh.

"The minister is loyal to the emperor and is willing to die, but he asks the emperor to read the minister's hard work, take care of the Huang family business in the national capital for the minister, if the grandson of the minister is dull, and hope that the emperor will carry it for him, the minister is grateful, and he should be the emperor's liver and brain, and he will never give up."

This embarrassed Sima Long, this is seeking blessings for his Huang family in disguise, as long as the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is still surnamed Sima, then their Huang family will enjoy glory and wealth for thousands of generations.

"Accurate!"

Sima Long wrote a word to Huang Jia to go back, and it was also a hurry!

Now whether he can keep Dajin is one thing, all the promises are just empty checks, promise him first, if he is still the emperor in a month, it will be done to give him some benefits.

It's just that Huang Jia is expected to guard Ancheng, is it really reliable?

Sima Long shook his head, don't worry about these for now, anyway, there is no problem for him to rely on tens of thousands of troops to defend the national capital now, and when the time comes, he will mobilize some people to defend the city together, and there is no army of more than 100,000 people, if he wants to break through the national capital, it is simply whimsical.

But as far as he knows, the current Western Army does not have so many troops, and they only have 50,000 people, but these 50,000 people, in terms of quality, can withstand more than 100,000 Great Jin troops.

In the night sky, the stars were shining, Sima Long held the wine glass, his eyes were full of sadness, for this world of endless competition, for these dissatisfied people, he was very disgusted, but now, he can only break the wine glass, in order to vent.
