"Liu Yuan committed suicide?"

"Yes, suicide!"

The news of Liu Yuan's suicide soon spread from the front line back to the ears of Sima Shu in the rear, and this news completely detonated the whole of the Great Jin Dynasty. Even Sima Shu didn't expect that Jinyang City would fall into the hands of the Jin army so easily, and Liu Yuan, a generation of heroes, committed suicide in the room.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Hu Lu Liu Yuan has been beheaded, and the state has returned to my Great Jin rule, this Hu-Han war that lasted for nearly two months has finally ended, and we have achieved the final victory!" As soon as the first assistant Zhang Bin received the good news from the front, he ran to Sima Shu with great excitement to report.

"Hehe, well, this damn war is finally over! However, how to heal the wounds brought by the war to the people of the two places as soon as possible is the most crucial, and your cabinet should pay more attention to this aspect! ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured of this!"

Liu Yuan's sudden suicide brought the war to a rapid end, and the remaining Huns no longer had the will to resist, and a large number of Huns began to come out and surrender to the Jin army! After this battle, the entire Jinyang City was almost completely destroyed, and now there are only more than 100,000 Huns left in the hundreds of thousands of Huns before the war, and almost half of the Huns died in the battlefield battle.

Of course, not all the Huns willingly put down their weapons, and a few Huns knew that they had done a lot of evil, and they thought that surrender was death, and it was better to die in a vigorous battle if they did not surrender. However, this part of the recalcitrant Huns was quickly wiped out by the Xiang army.

The biggest shock of this war for the Hu people in the north was that the Jin army was so strong that it was no longer something they could compete with. As soon as the war of the states ended. Tuoba Southern Dadan Yu Tuoba Liuxiu hurriedly sent envoys to Luoyang to prepare to rebuild friendship, in addition to this, even the Duan clan and Yuwen Xianbei, who fled to the north of Youzhou, also sent envoys to prepare to claim vassal to the Great Jin.

In addition to the more than one million Hu people who fled, a total of more than 4 million Hu people were wiped out by the Jin army, of which more than 1 million Hu people were killed, and more than 3 million Hu people were included in their own system.

After the outbreak of the Hu-Han War, it attracted the attention of all forces, not only the Great Jin Dynasty attached great importance to it, but even Jiangdong frequently inquired about the news related to the Northern War. Fortunately, after a series of battles. The long-weakened Central Plains court finally defeated the Hu people in the north in one fell swoop after several years of lying on the salary. Regained the glory of the Han people.

After the outbreak of the war, all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty had been looking forward to the result, but at the beginning, the ordinary people of the Great Jin Dynasty were not confident in winning the war. Therefore, when it was recently reported that the Xiongnu Liu Yuan had been awarded the head and returned to the state. The entire Great Jin Dynasty is in a state of madness!

After the news of Liu Yuan's conferment reached Jiangdong. Sima Rui's mood was more complicated. As a Han or a king of the Great Jin Dynasty. The victory of the imperial court is indeed an honor for him. But when he thought about the huge territory and powerful military power under Sima Shu's rule, Sima Rui felt a chill.

The stronger Sima Shu in the north becomes, the more promising the Jiangdong separatist forces will have in the future. This made Sima Rui feel like he was going to the east of the river. Since the collapse of the Northern Hu Alliance, there is no suspense about Sima Shu's unification of China in the future, and the only suspense is what price Sima Shu is willing to pay to unify China.

As the Hu-Han War drew to a close, Sima Shu's prestige in the Great Jin Dynasty was getting higher and higher, and he had already left him far behind, and under normal circumstances, no vassal king could threaten Sima Shu's throne. Sima Shu's throne was unprecedentedly secure.

So Sima Rui was depressed!

At this critical juncture, the power struggle between the local scholars of Jiangdong and the families of the northern expatriates continued, and the current power struggle was a tug-of-war, with both sides waiting for the other to compromise.

Wang Dun is a relatively single, he has always lived in Jiankang and holds most of the military power in Jiangdong, and he will not return to Wu County at all if there is no important period, which makes the local scholars in Jiangdong who have been planning how to weaken the military power in his hands very dissatisfied. And Sima Rui did not dare to forcibly depose Wang Dun, in case the agitated Wang Dun surrendered to the north, the loss would be too great.

After Sima Rui experienced the incident of moving the town, he was faintly unable to suppress the internal struggle in Jiangdong, and under such circumstances, he would never dare to force Wang Dun. Fortunately, Wang Dun's cousin Wang Dao was still familiar with current affairs, and he was pulled out to take charge of the affairs of the Jin Dynasty with the local scholars in Jiangdong.

Sima Rui drank wine while reviewing Sima Shu's rise. As a result, he found that Sima Shu was always victorious, and although there were some setbacks in the middle, Sima Shu seemed to have the favor of God, and he could always overcome obstacles and obstacles without hindrance. Could it be that this destiny really lies in Sima Shu?

In addition to the Hu people who suffered the most in this war, the Jiangdong separatist forces suffered the most. As far as Sima Rui is concerned, he has lost many times in front of the northern court before, no matter how the situation develops in the future, after the northern Hu people surrendered to Luoyang, the fate of Jiangdong's defeat has been determined.

Just as Sima Rui was drinking alone, Director Wang walked in with a newspaper. Nowadays, newspapers in the north have become the most popular affairs among scholars in Jiangdong, and many times Jiangdong learns about the north through newspapers.

"Maohong, what's going on?"

As soon as Director Wang walked into the room, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, he frowned, and when he looked up, it was indeed Sima Rui drinking alone. Since the north has become more and more powerful, Sima Rui has become more and more fond of drinking to drown his sorrows.

"King, take care of your health!"

"It's okay to be alone, is there any detailed news about the Jinyang War?"

"Well, the process and results of the Battle of Jinyang were published in detail in a newspaper sponsored by the Privy Council. The army mobilized 120,000 men to launch a strong attack on the 180,000 Huns defending Jinyang. After only half a day, the Xiang army broke through the Huns' defense line and entered the city. ”

After that, the Xiang army and the Huns launched a fierce street battle in Jinyang City, and three days later, with Liu Yuan's suicide, the Huns in Jinyang City began to surrender to the Xiang army! The Jin army lost a total of 30,000 people in this battle, of which 20,000 were killed in the battle alone, which can be said to be the largest loss of the Xiang army. ”

However, their results were also very great, and the 180,000 Huns were almost wiped out except for a few who fled. More than 50 people, including Liu Yuan, the great leader of the Xiongnu, his uncle Liu Xuan, and the senior generals of the Xiongnu, Liu Qin and Liu Rui, were killed in battle or committed suicide. In total, the Huns lost more than 50,000 deaths, of which more than 100,000 were captured! Director Wang said in an extremely proud tone.

At this point, the two-month Hu-Han War finally came to an end, and the imperial court achieved a brilliant victory, not only recovering Bingzhou, Youzhou, Pingzhou, Hexi and other places, but also destroying Goguryeo, and at the same time bringing a large area of Liaodong into the imperial court! According to the newspapers, there were millions of captured Hu people alone! ”

As soon as Director Wang's voice fell, Sima Rui's emotions became excited! This was the first time he intuitively felt the huge results achieved by the Xiang army, and at the same time, he also felt a huge pressure! The Northern Imperial Court was able to win the Hu-Han War so easily, which can only be described as a miracle in Sima Rui's opinion.

"Maohong, does Lone still have a chance?" After being silent for a long time, Sima Rui still asked such a question that made his followers very frustrated.

"This, this ......" Director Wang hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"Alas, forget it, even if you don't say it, you have a number in your heart. Ever since the rebellion of the vassal king was put down, Lone knew that there would never be a chance again! Hehe, Lone really didn't expect that Sima Shu that kid would really deceive everyone in the world. Thinking that at the beginning, when he was selling wine and meat in the East Palace, who would have thought that he would have today's achievements? Sima Rui smiled bitterly, he really served this uncle's emperor Sima Shu.

When Sima Rui was depressed, the entire northern land was boiling again!

Not to mention other income, the nearly one million Hu coolies alone are a lot of wealth. With the addition of these captives, it will definitely speed up the speed of infrastructure construction in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty, especially in the construction of the north-south canal and highways in various places have reached a critical moment, and these captives can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the imperial court.

To tame these captives is actually very simple, as long as a reward and punishment rules are drawn out, from time to time to pull a few good performers to give Han people status, or reward them with something enough to increase their enthusiasm for labor. At the same time, the rules were formulated to severely punish the lazy, and both hands should be caught, and both hands should be hard, which is enough to manage these Hu captives.

After the northern Hu people were eliminated, the hidden border dangers faced by the Great Jin Dynasty since its founding were completely eliminated, and the external environment of the Great Jin Dynasty became unprecedentedly better. If it weren't for Sima Shu's need for southern Tuoba to act as a strategic buffer between the Great Jin and Tuoba Pugen, he would have recovered the entire land of Henan long ago.

As time passed, more and more details about this war were revealed, and when the Jin people received the good news from the front, the Han people in all states and counties were almost fainting with excitement, especially when the news of the destruction of more than 100,000 Huns came, it detonated the entire northern land.

At this time, after five years of development, the quality of people from all walks of life in Dajin, including military, political, business, academic, newspaper, industrial, and agricultural circles, has already improved a lot, and they generally have common ideals, so they are very united internally.

From the day the war began, the good news was sent back one by one, but at the end of June, when the news of the victory in Jinyang came back, every Han person still had a feeling of being separated from the world.

Although many people knew that the Xiang army had already become very strong under the elite of His Majesty the Emperor, they did not expect to be able to win the war so quickly, and it was only less than two months. (To be continued......)
