After Yanghu returned to the Han Dynasty, he temporarily worked as a staff member under Liu Yin's account, after all, after the surrender of a person of his status, the Shu Han court at least had to come up with an official position with the corresponding status, although it is said that a position at the level of three orphans like Taifu will definitely not be awarded to Yanghu again, but the Shu Han court cannot be too shabby, at least it has to give a position of three dukes and nine secretaries. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, Yanghu doesn't seem to care, after all these twists and turns, Yanghu is already like water, and has no desires.

With the end of the war in Hanoi, Shu has controlled all the land north of the Yellow River except Youzhou, from Luliang in the west, to the Bohai Sea in the east, thousands of miles across the land, all over the banner of the Han Dynasty, this great victory, is another brilliant victory after Shu occupied Yongliang two states, this victory, but also basically affected the general trend of the world, whether it is a commoner or a wealthy family, no longer doubt that the Jin State is already at the end of the road, time is running out, Shu State to achieve the final victory, it is only a matter of time.

After the Battle of Hanoi ended, Liu Yin ordered Chen to prepare to cross the Yellow River by force to give the crumbling Sima Jin Dynasty the final blow.

From Tongguan to the mouth of the sea, the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which stretches for thousands of miles, has become the last line of defense for the Jin State to resist the Shu State, in order to recover the declining situation, Sima Yan is dying, mobilizing all the forces that can be mobilized, and deploying defenses on the south bank of the Yellow River, strictly guarding and sparing no effort.

The Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles, there are no less than a dozen ferries that can cross the river, only in the Luoyang area, there are three ferries of Xiaopingjin, Mengjin, Wushejin, and then go east, there are many ferries such as Yanjin, Baima, Cangting, Pingyuan, etc. With so many ferries, they may become the target of the Shu army, although the Yellow River is known as a natural danger, but the defensive pressure of the Jin army is also very great.

Sima Yan handed over the defense of the Qingzhou Yanzhou section of the Yellow River to Ma Long, the governor of Qingzhou, and the command of the Yellow River section of Sizhou was personally controlled by Sima Yan. There is no doubt that these three ferries north of Luoyang are likely to become the primary targets of the Shu army's crossing of the river, Sima Yan invested heavy troops in the Luoyang River section, and appointed Zhu Zhen as the governor of Xiaopingjin Pass, Jiang Jun as the governor of Mengjin Pass, and Li Bin as the governor of Wushe Jinguan to strengthen the garrison along the Yellow River.

Although the position of the governor can be large or small, the largest governor also leads the soldiers and horses of several states, and the power is overwhelming, but the smallest governor also commands the land of several counties, and is a party to pacify, like this one will promote the three pass guards to the governor, it is indeed the first time after the founding of the Jin State, and it can also be seen from one side that Sima Yan attaches great importance to the Yellow River defense line.

Sima Yan can't afford to lose now, the land north of the Yellow River has fallen, and on the Huai River line in Jingzhou, the power of the Jin State has also been greatly suppressed, and now the territory of the Jin State has been squeezed south of the Yellow River, within the narrow strip north of the Huai River, the places that the Jin State can control at present, there are only Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou (Huainan), Yuzhou and most of Sizhou, although Youzhou is still under the rule of the Jin State in name, but the Jin court has completely lost the ability to control Youzhou, which has been reduced to an enclave.

Compared with the heyday of the Wei State, the territory of the successor Jin State has shrunk by more than half, of course, the amount of territory does not determine the strength of the country, when it only had one state in the weakest of the three kingdoms, Shu has now become the biggest winner, which is enough to prove that it is not only the territorial factor that determines success or failure.

Although the Jin State has fallen, it still holds the land of the Five States, and I don't know how much more extensive it is than the Shu State back then.

However, what determines the outcome of a war has nothing to do with the amount of territory, and ultimately it depends on force to determine the strength or decline of a country.

The army of Wei and Jin has always been the best among the Three Kingdoms, and at the peak of Wei, the standing army alone had 600,000, which was more than the combined armies of Wu and Shu.

But with the strong rise of Shu, that is, after Liu Yin captured Yongliang Pass, the strength of Wei gradually went downhill. But at that time, Wei was still the strongest among the three kingdoms, and still had the strength to rival Wu and Shu.

Sima Daiwei is just the result of the tide and the natural result, of course, it is also related to Sima Yan's obsession with the throne and his desire to win the Ninety-Five, Sima Yi Sima Shi Sima Zhao era, they don't have the ability to usurp the throne, naturally this is not the case, but the older generation of the Sima family is not as flamboyant as Sima Yan, and not as greedy as Sima Yan.

Sima Yan had an ambition to reign over the world, and after Sima Zhao's death, he couldn't wait to seize power and force Emperor Wei to take the throne.

But the Sima Jin Dynasty is destined to be a short-lived dynasty, Sima Yan in order to ascend the throne to pay the price, is extremely heavy, just one Yan Yu dispute, the pillars of the Jin State do not know how much to lose, once known as the talented Jin Dynasty, at the beginning of the establishment, many positions above there is no suitable person, in the end can only be indiscriminate, to inferior.

The seemingly beautiful Great Jin Dynasty, from the time it was born, was a deformed product, and behind the superficial prosperity, there were holes and holes.

The Hun Liu Yuan saw this weakness of the Jin State, so he dared to brazenly rebel and burn the war to the belly of the Jin State.

If Liu Yin's attack sounded the death knell of Sima Jin, then Liu Yuan's rebellion undoubtedly became a life-threatening talisman, making Sima Jin, who was already full of worries, worse, and Zhonghui's rebellion was another handful of salt on Sima Jin's wounds.

When he tried his best to quell the rebellion of the Huns and other Hu people, he suddenly looked back and found that the mountains and rivers were still the same, but they were already like people, and the power of Shu had penetrated into the heart of the Jin State.

Sima Yan had to continue the war, the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty was exhausted in the forever ending war, the fall of the land of Hebei, the destruction of the main army, and the loss of Sima Jun, Yanghu, Jia Chong, and Wenyang, the pillars of the Great Jin Dynasty, were destined to collapse from now on, and it was difficult to have a chance to make a comeback.
