Chapter 142: The Escape of the King of Chengdu (I)

In January 300 AD, the Privy Council of the Imperial Court, the right general Zu Li, the Privy Council Tongzhi, the general Meng Guan, and the Hedong County Shou Gou Xi led an army of 50,000 people into Sizhou to quell the rebellion, with 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, where they passed, invincible, invincible, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves to sweep the rebellion all over the place.

Chengdu Wang Sima Ying hurriedly sent generals Shi Chao, Wang Bin and others to resist the enemy, but they were repeatedly defeated. Zu Ti's army not only relieved the siege of Mengjin, but by the end of January, his forward troops had reached Neihuang, which was less than 100 miles away from Yecheng, and at this time, Ma Teng, the assassin of the state of Shidong Company, raised troops in response.

Originally, the king of Chengdu was counting on joining forces with Sima Teng, sweeping away the previous decline and preparing to regain the advantage on the battlefield. Who knew that Sima Teng just waved the flag and shouted, and the command of Zu Ti was steady and steady, so that the king of Chengdu did not take any advantage, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.

Later, when the news of the defeat of the East China Sea King and others came to the Tiger Prison Pass, the rebels suddenly became panicked.

Yecheng, Chengdu Palace, Sima Ying is convening a meeting under his command.

Sima Ying hung his head and said: "Everyone, the war situation has not been good recently, and the widow plans to give up Yecheng and protect his family Xiaobei to Youzhou. I wonder what everyone thinks? ”

After the death of King Fan Yang and King of the East China Sea, Wang Jun planned to find another clan to pull the banner, and this time he fell in love with the dangerous King of Chengdu.

Everyone was shocked, and Lu Zhi's face was full of eagerness: "King, Yecheng is the fundamental place, and you can't abandon it!" Whoever persuaded the king to abandon Yecheng was ignoring the king's foundation. Killable! ”

Sima Ying sighed and said, "Hey, Yecheng is a place of four battles, you can't stay for a long time!" Now that Zu Ti's army is marching eastward, once his troops come to the city, what can we resist? This made Gongshi Fan, Shi Chao, Zhao Xiang and others ashamed, they had long been frightened by Zu Xiao and others.

Although Lu Zhi couldn't get used to the appearance of the king of Chengdu, he still tried his best to plan for the other party, "For today's plan, we can only ask for help from Shi Dongyinggong, the assassin of Bingzhou!" King, please see, north of Yecheng, a horse Pingchuan. It was just right for the Hun cavalry to gallop across the country. If the Hun cavalry can be invited, come. We still have a chance to turn the tables around. ”

Originally, Lu Zhi thought that the king of Chengdu would agree to come down, but who knew that Sima Ying was furious, "Nonsense! Sima Teng had been peeking at Yecheng for a long time and invited him here. Isn't it equivalent to letting the widows hand over the power of Wei County, Pingyang and other places? Tobu Gong. You've always been a master of intrigues. I'm afraid that this time it wasn't Sima Teng who sent someone to secretly instruct you to trap the widow, right? ”

Forgive Sima Ying for always being dissatisfied with Sima Teng's performance, he always felt that he had fallen into today's situation, half of which was because of Sima Teng. If he hadn't been looking. How can Zu Ti drive straight in?

Lu Zhi's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said again and again: "Hey, the king, this is for your sake...... minister"

Sima Ying was furious, and said, "Huh! You thief! If you keep it, you will have civil strife! Come on, pull this guy out and cut it down! ”

"The king spares his life! The king spares his life! Don't dare to talk nonsense! The king spares his life! ”

Lu Zhi was dragged away, and everyone looked at each other. It happened so fast that everyone didn't react for a while, until there was a scream outside the door, and they knew that Lu Zhi had died in Huangquan.

When there was a civil strife in Yecheng, there was also a civil strife in the Bingzhou army. Liu Yuan, the great leader of the Xiongnu tribe, grasped the military and political power of the state in one fell swoop through a military coup, and completely eliminated Sima Teng's men and horses from the state, laying the foundation for him to win the confrontation against the imperial court in the future.

On the front line of Sizhou, Zu Ti was sitting in the camp tent discussing the military situation with the generals, and Gou Xi, who is now a little famous, spoke first: "General, the prince won a big victory in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the imperial court army east of the Tiger Pass is unstoppable. It is believed that a large army will come soon, and then Yecheng will be attacked on his back. Recently, there has been infighting in Bingzhou and Yecheng, which shows that our opportunity to eliminate the king of Chengdu is ripe! ”

"General, what Gou Xi County Shou said is right, and he also thinks that now is the time to take Yecheng. Everyone knows that the total number of rebels in the two states is no less than 200,000, and they are basically all Hu cavalry, which cannot be defeated by the imperial court in a short period of time. His Royal Highness asked me to put the main force in the five prefectures of Si, Yan, Henan, Qing, and Xu, probably because I was afraid of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. ”

General Meng Guan continued: "General, we should take advantage of the victory at Tiger Prison Pass to take Yecheng and drive the Huns back to Bingzhou, and it is best to take the land south of Jinyang." ”

"Okay, as discussed by the generals, the army will immediately march eastward, take Neihuang, eliminate Shi Chao, and take Yecheng directly!"

Subsequently, Zu Ti and others reorganized the army, and captured Neihuang with the momentum of thunder, and the reinforcements sent by the king of Chengdu were also eliminated by Zu Ti and others. Gongshi Fan still did not escape the fate of history, and on his way to help Neihuang, he was ambushed by Gou Xi. As a result, a shot was picked off the horse by Gou Xi.

As soon as the Gongshi clan died, the reinforcements scattered and fled, and Ji Sang and Shi Le led their henchmen to no longer return to Yecheng, but went directly north to Liu Yuan.

Soon after Jisang and Shile left north, the army led by Zu Ti and Meng Guan continued to advance eastward, and in February, Da Po Shi surpassed Neihuang and marched with victory. Due to the indecision of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and the hesitation of whether to retreat to Youzhou, the morale of the army was sharply shaken, and the civil and military officials were indifferent.

Therefore, when a few cavalry of the Xiang Army appeared on the outskirts of Yecheng, there was a chaotic situation in the city where officials ran and soldiers fled. It was only at this time that Sima Ying decided to retreat north, but his mother, Concubine Cheng, was reluctant to leave Yecheng's family property and refused to leave.

During the day, in Yecheng and Chengdu Palace, Concubine Cheng was sitting on the couch and angry, and Sima Ying was in a hurry outside the house.

Concubine Cheng was coquettish with the king of Chengdu like a child, "If you want to go, you go yours, anyway, the mourning family will not go anywhere." ”

Sima Ying smiled bitterly: "Oh, mother! Now that the army has been ordered to assemble outside the city, it is time for the people to retreat, and if you refuse to go, how can you call them back to the city? ”

Concubine Cheng said angrily: "That mourning family doesn't care." Hum! For such a big matter, I didn't discuss it with the mourning family in advance, so I just left? ”

At this time, Shi Chao walked in, "Your Highness, the ancestors are already less than five miles away from the city, the army is ready to go, just waiting for the king alone, the king should quickly ask the concubine to get up." ”

Concubine Cheng was even more unhappy, "If you want to go, you guys will go, and the mourning family will guard the city alone!" ”

Shi Chao frowned and said, "Niangniang! When has it been and you're still throwing tantrums? The cavalry under the command of Zu Ti is like a storm, and when it comes to it, it will be too late if you don't leave! ”

"Humph! Shi Chao! It's all you bastards who hurt my family! You are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, let go of Yecheng and do not defend it, and you want to go to Youzhou, this time, won't my son's family business that has been earned by more than ten years of hard work be given to others? You will only think about yourself, all of you are greedy for life and afraid of death! Don't go to mourning home! Not going anywhere! ”

"King, this ......" In the face of the old lady who was splashing and rolling, Shi Chao was helpless.

Sima Ying's face was full of bitterness: "Alas, the mother is unwilling, how can the son be forced?" The widow is now in turmoil...... Why don't you withdraw your army back to the city for defense? ”

"King! The water that has been spilled is hard to get back! Now that the military order has been issued, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and even if they are forced to return to the city, it is impossible to fight as hard as they can. Moreover, we have been arguing for days and days about the matter of war and defense, but we have never made serious preparations for the defense of the city, and now the enemy army is about to besiege the city, and the civil and military officials have gone out of the city to flee for their lives. If you rush into battle, you will definitely lose! The minister is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that the mother and son of the king will not leave now, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

Sima Ying hesitated, and then asked her mother, "Mother, what do you say?" ”

"You're going to ask me now! The mourning family is still the same sentence, don't go! Just don't go! If you are a filial son, you will honestly transfer the army back to the mourning family and keep our family business! ”

Sima Ying sighed, "Alas! …… Good...... Well, the child obeys. Come on......"

Just as he was about to give the order, an officer hurried in. "Report! King! It's over! It's all over! ”

Sima Ying said angrily: "What's the alarm? ”

The officer didn't care about saluting, and shouted directly: "Back to the king's words, the soldiers heard that the concubine refused to leave, so they made a noise, and all the generals said that Yecheng was not guaranteed, so it was better to disperse and make plans, I couldn't suppress it, they scattered in a hurry, and they went in all directions!" ”

Concubine Cheng was also taken aback: "Huh? Just go! Go and get them back to defend the city! ”

The officer replied with a sad face: "Ouch, concubine! Now there is not a single soldier outside the city! ”

Shi Chao on the side turned pale and muttered: "It's over!" Finished! The king is in a hurry! ”

Sima Ying also ran out of ideas, "That's ...... What should the widow do? ”

Shi Chao said anxiously: "Without further ado, fortunately, there are still five thousand armor soldiers in His Highness's mansion, and you can also protect your family to go north." Then go and prepare!

Concubine Cheng's face was full of fear: "My son ......"

"Mother! Listen to the children! If you don't leave, you won't even be able to save your life, what do you want to do with these family businesses?! Come on, wait for the concubine to get off! After speaking, Sima Ying turned around and left.

Hearing this, Concubine Cheng cried: "My son! ......" The eunuchs and officials hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Mother, let's go."

"If you don't leave, it'll be too late."

"Mother, please."

"Slow, slow."

"Quick, get ready for the car!"

"You ...... Each of you takes something more...... Take everything you can and ......" Concubine Cheng looked back at this, looked at that, and felt distressed when she saw everything, and then she howled and cried, and was carried out by everyone.

At this time, Yecheng had already been in chaos, and all kinds of people saw that the ship of the king of Chengdu was about to sink, and they were looking for other ways out.
