Chapter 1032: Three Edicts

"Yanghu, he dares to resist and disobey?" Sima Yan's face sank. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only the relationship between Zheng Chong and Yanghu is a little better, this time he went to Jizhou, or Zheng Chong personally went to Nanyang to persuade Yanghu, seeing Sima Yan's face was not good, Zheng Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Yang failed to send troops in time, there must be a hidden situation here, and please Your Majesty can investigate it in detail." ”

Jia Chong sneered and said: "What hidden circumstances can be more important than the loss of Hanoi, according to a certain opinion, Mrs. Yang is self-respecting and disobedient to orders, and this is not the first time." ”

The first thing that Jia Chong referred to was that Sima Yan ordered a war against Shu a year ago, and Yanghu prevaricated for various reasons, which made Sima Yan angry and let Sima Jun take Yanghu's place. Of course, everyone knows this result, otherwise Yanghu would not have needed to be urgently transferred from Nanyang, where the situation is relatively stable, to Jizhou to fight the fire.

It's just that this fire sheep is not enough to extinguish it, but it has a tendency to burn more and more. In order to gain a firm foothold around Yecheng, Yanghu proposed a fortification tactic to restrain the advantages of the Shu army.

Of course, it is impossible for Yanghu to be arbitrary, before the implementation of the plan, he had played this matter to Sima Yan, and at that time he also obtained Sima Yan's approval, at that time, not only Sima Yan but also the civil and military forces of the palace, they all thought that Yanghu had adopted a very safe method, and they all praised Yanghu's strategy.

But with the change of the situation in Hanoi, Yanghu has become the target of public criticism again, and even his trench strategy has been questioned by many people. Originally, Zheng Chong's explanation made Sima Yan's face soften slightly, but Jia Chong's words made Sima Yan's brows frown again.

Zheng Chong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, right and wrong, you have your own judgment, Mrs. Yang is loyal to the country, serving the territory, how can it be destroyed, in the opinion of the minister, than Your Majesty can issue another edict, explain the interests and disadvantages, I believe that Mrs. Yang will be able to judge the situation and send troops to Hanoi." ”

Sima Yan thought about it, now there are not many people he can rely on, Yanghu is one of them, and he is also the most important member of it, if Sima Yan doesn't use Yanghu, I really don't know who else Sima Yan can count on in this hebei situation.

So Sima Yan issued an edict again and sent it to Yecheng quickly.

Although the Shu army controlled most of Hanoi, it was basically in the western part of Hanoi, and the eastern part of Hanoi was still under the control of the Jin army.

Although the large construction of trenches around Yecheng made Yanghu's sources relatively closed, it was impossible for Yanghu to be unaware of such a major event as Liu Yin's sneak attack on Hanoi. Even if Yanghu really didn't know much about the situation in Hanoi, Sima Yan's first edict had already been issued.

"Liu Yin would actually go to attack Hanoi?" Yanghu, who had just received the news, seemed to be slightly surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, this is also a normal thing, Liu Yin was blocked in Yecheng, and if he wants to open a new bureau, he must find another way.

It seems that Liu Yin's "strange path" was still chosen in Hanoi County. There is Ma Long on the Qingzhou side who is resisting along the river, and there are heavy troops stationed on the Tongguan side, and if the Shu army wants to seek a breakthrough, it is a good choice to march from Hanoi County.

"It seems that Liu Yin is preparing to encircle Wei to save Zhao?" Yanghu muttered to himself.

Yecheng has become the most difficult city for the Shu army to attack, and the trenches that stretch for hundreds of miles have become a nightmare for the Shu army, and every time they cross a trench, the Shu army will pay a considerable price, which also makes Yanghu full of confidence in his strategy.

When the Jin army retreated from the four central counties of Jizhou, a large amount of grain and grass materials were gathered in Yecheng, even if there was no new supply, the defenders of Yecheng would hold on for three or two years, and basically there would not be much problem.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land around Yecheng, even if the Shu army besieges Yecheng, as long as they can't attack the city of Yecheng, it is not difficult for the Jin army and the people of Yecheng to be self-sufficient.

With such a unique advantage, Yanghu naturally cannot be abandoned, not to mention, the entire Yecheng is the most important stronghold of the Jin army north of the Yellow River, if it is lost, the Jin army can only retreat to the Yellow River, so that the living space of the Jin State will be greatly compressed, and the opportunity to counterattack will be completely lost.

Sima Yan's first edict was very simple, concise and appalling, only ordering Yanghu to send a part of the soldiers and horses to support Dong Ai, the Taishou of Hanoi, and did not mention anything else.

To send or not to send, this is a big question!

Although Yecheng has an army of 100,000, but at the same time to defend all the strongholds within a radius of more than 100 miles, the army is not rich, if the order is sent to send troops, there will be a vacancy in the defense of Yecheng, which is likely to be fatal.

In Yanghu's strategic thinking, the safety of Yecheng is the first priority, unless the Shu army breaks through the Yellow River, Yanghu will never be moved. After all, Hanoi County is only a county located on the north bank of the Yellow River, and gains and losses are not too important.

Therefore, after receiving the order, Yanghu did not send troops easily, but just sent people to keep an eye on the changes in the situation in Hanoi.

But the defeat of Hanoi made Yanghu a little unexpected, fortunately, there is such a Yellow River natural danger, and the capital Luoyang is not dangerous.

It seems that it is necessary to reply to Sima Yan, and Yanghu sent pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and prepared to write a letter to clarify the urgency of Yecheng's defense, and asked for the full cooperation of the imperial court.

Although the situation in Hanoi is extremely dangerous, as long as the Jin army can hold on to the Mengjin Ferry and Xiaopingjin Ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, it will be difficult for the Shu army to cross the Yellow River.

Yanghu hoped that Sima Yan's full support and cooperation would keep the last piece of land north of the Yellow River as much as possible, and only in this way would the Jin State's social affairs continue.

Yang Hu thought about it again and again, and was about to start writing, when suddenly the Chinese army came in and said that the court has a will! It turned out that Sima Yan's second edict had arrived.

Yanghu had to put down his pen first, decided to take the holy decree first, read what Sima Yan's second edict said, and then write it before it was too late.
