"Ahem! That's enough! ”

At this time, there was a coughing sound from behind the screen, which was Sima Zhao's voice, and at this time, Pei Xiu bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive the prime minister." ”

"That's it, ahem! Pass on my order, deprive Sima Yan of the Jin king and the general's position, my family's business back then was passed on by my brother, I returned this industry to my brother, Sima You succeeded to the throne of Jin, succeeded to the throne of Cheng, so be it! Ahem! ”

"Pei Qing, cough cough! Do you have any objections? ”

"No objection!"

At this time, the ministers and generals of the court and the central government only understood the true meaning of Pei Xiu's words, which was to force Sima Zhao to cede all his rights to Sima You.

However, as Sima You's biological father, mourning after death can be guaranteed.

Wei State has reached the current situation, the right must be guaranteed to be inherited, and no one chance to take over Sima Yan may be deprived, so after this court meeting, whether Sima Yan escapes back or is released, if Sima Zhao dies suddenly, then this precarious foundation is undoubtedly pushed to the brink of collapse again!

Therefore, Pei Xiu was not looking for death this time, but to force Sima Zhao to make a decision to transfer the Sima family's family business from his line to Sima Shi's line, which also represents a complete change in history.

After Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty on behalf of Wei, in order to prevent the loss of the ancestral temple inheritance of their lineage, they would rather appoint the intelligent and dull Sima Cheng as the crown prince, and have to exclude his brother Sima You, the king of Qi, which also laid the fuse for the demise of the Jin Dynasty.

Later generations often lamented that if Sima You, who had outstanding political ability and a generous personality, inherited the position, perhaps the Jin Dynasty would not have died in a short time, and would not have laid the feudal dynasty pattern of one Hu and one Han from then on.

You must know that before the Sima Jin Dynasty, the Saiwai Hu people certainly had a strong Hu tribe like the Xiongnu, but the Huns have never been able to shake the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

On the contrary, in the tug-of-war with the Central Plains Dynasty, it finally perished and disappeared in the long river of history.

If Sima You really has a lot of ability, no one knows, but Sima You is much stronger than Sima Yan's stupid son.

Because of this, Sima You also brought a lot of trouble to Sima Yan politically, but Sima Zhao and Sima Yan's father and son considered the temple, and Sima You still had no chance in the end.

He had two chances to approach that position, once in the first year of Xianxi reigned by Sima Zhao, and once in the second year of Xianning after Sima Yan established the Jin dynasty on behalf of Wei.

The occurrence of the first opportunity was actually mainly the aftermath of Sima Shi's untimely death.

You must know that the death of Sima Shi at that time was something that everyone did not expect, and Sima Zhao was ready to do his duty for Sima Shi and be a brother at that time.

Therefore, when Sima Shi died suddenly, Sima Zhao had to rush back to Luoyang from Chang'an to sit in charge of the Sima clan, so the Sima Shi lineage was actually recognized as orthodox in the Sima clan's forces.

In the first year of Xianxi, Sima Zhao also felt the pressure of the reputation of "unorthodoxy", and asked the inner circle serving the Sima clan the question of who the heir would be - should he choose Sima You, the child who was passed on to his brother's family, or Sima Yan?

There may be a lot of controversy in this, but after Sima Zhao put it aside, after really grasping the rights left by Sima Shi, with his acquiescence, Sima Yan naturally received one-sided support.

This great discussion on the establishment of an heir did not spread to the entire Sima clan and cause structural damage, but was successfully confined to the inner circle of his group, and the first opportunity was lost.

And at that time, Sima Yan also did a lot of things, for example, when Sima Zhao was not sure of the choice of the son, Sima Yan was afraid that he would not be able to be established as the son, so he asked Pei Xiu: "Do people have the appearance of nobility and cheapness?" ”

Then he showed Pei Xiu the strange marks on his body, and wooed Pei Xiu, Pei Xiu accepted this pull, of course, he also determined Sima Yan's intentions, so he said in the court meeting: "Zhongfujun (referring to Sima Yan) has virtue in the world, and has such a natural mark, it must not be the appearance of a minister!" ”

After getting the help of Hedong Pei's arm, Sima Yan's position as the son of the world can be regarded as sitting firmly.

Later, Sima You had another chance, that is, as time passed, Sima Yanli's crown prince Sima Zhen gradually grew up, and the problem of insufficient intelligence became more and more obvious, and the ministers of the Jin Dynasty generally began to worry that the future monarch would be a fool.

At this time, Sima You carried out a series of measures to try his best to gain a good reputation:

First of all, after Sima Zhao's death, Sima You's grief exceeded the ritual that should be performed as a step-son, which is the so-called "mourning and ruining ceremony".

This was undoubtedly a very important move in the old era of the dynasty that established the country with filial piety, and it was very helpful to increase its political prestige.

secondly, he often rewarded, reduced rents, and gave relief to his feudal subjects, and the hearts of the people in the country were gradually gathered, and Sima You also gained a political image of goodwill and charity; At the same time, he is also a corporal, recruiting talents for himself and winning people's hearts.

In the end, during his tenure as a hussar general, he was also extremely close to his battalion soldiers, so that Sima Yan wanted to withdraw from the battalion, but he was fiercely opposed by the sergeants, and since then, Sima You has also gained the reputation of a virtuous king of the clan, until the second year of Xianning, he is only one step away from the throne.

Of course, Sima Yan is not his stupid son, naturally not a person who sits and eats dry rice, he made Sima Zhen the crown prince as early as the third year of Taishi, and in the first year of Xianning, Sima You was included in the list of the Taimiao, nominally cutting off the possibility of Sima You becoming the heir - because there has never been a precedent in history for the heroes of the Taimiao to become kings.

From the end of the first year of Xianning to the second year of Xianning, the open and secret struggle finally entered the climax - in November of the first year of Xianning, Sima Yan was infected with the plague, and he was critically ill for a time and even abolished the most important court meeting at the beginning of the year.

In the small half year when Emperor Wu was ill and difficult to get up, a series of measures were taken by the court to support Sima You; Among them, the most prominent is that Henan Yin Xiahou said to Jia Chong that "Liren should be Lide", but Jia Chong was silent.

At this time, Jia Chong, one of his daughters married Sima You and the other married his nephew, that is, Sima Yan's stupid son, no matter who wins, he can guarantee honor, of course, at this time, Jia Chong also became a big man in the Jin Dynasty.

Xia Houhe publicly hinted at supporting Sima You for the time being, but Jia Chong, as a loyal minister of the imperial court at that time, was the backbone of Sima Yan's core decision-making circle, and this silence undoubtedly showed something very dangerous for Sima Yan.

Perhaps, if Sima Yan died in this plague, the courtiers would support Sima You and abolish Sima Zhen. I love Search.com

But Sima Yan was lucky to survive and regain his health.

And after feeling the impermanence of life and death in this small half year, he already has an unsustainable fear of his power - before that, he may feel that he can wait for the important ministers of the court to die naturally, so that Sima You is too old to return to heaven.

But now it is different, maybe he will go to see his deceased grandfather and father tomorrow, so in order to ensure the continuation of the temple, Sima You was forced to leave Beijing and enter the feudal state, and died of vomiting blood within a few years.

And today, with Pei Xiu's assistance, Sima You ascended to a position that he could not climb in his life, and the ministers knew Pei Xiu's true purpose, which eliminated all possibilities for Sima Yan and made Sima Zhao have no possibility of repentance.

It's just to receive the golden seal of the general, that's nothing, as long as Sima Zhao doesn't die, he can get rid of it at any time, if Sima Yan returns, he is still the king of Jin, or the king, what is Sima You's general?

Now, though, it's finally settled!

"Meet the King."

With this worship, Wei can barely make up for the scars and can allocate forces for defensive operations.

Wu also made a decisive alliance with Wei yesterday, and as early as a day ago, Sun Yu, the king of Liang of Wu State, had already led a large army to the north to attack Xiangyang without declaring war!

Fancheng, Xiangyang County.

Zhang Wei was stretching his bow and arrows, and the strings flew out, and the action that ordinary people would take two or three breaths to complete was suddenly accelerated several times in Zhang Wei's hands, as if the passage of time had become rapid.

The time for the long arrow to sit on the bow was only a blink of an eye, and I only watched the strings tremble, and heard the sound of sounds, and white light flashed through the air, but no one could tell how the arrows flew out.

The arrows rained down, and even a shield could not hide the arrows as accurate as a poisonous snake's spitting letters, and the screams of their fall were continuous, and dozens of mouths played a mournful movement together.

Relying on Zhang Wei alone, he was worthy of a team of outstanding archers, and the rain of arrows shot from his hands completely suppressed the Wu army that rushed towards the city, and even made him have very few arrows shot back from the city in this area.

The archers of the Han army led by Zhang Wei shot repeatedly, and the Wu soldiers who were intercepted under the city finally waited for the signal to retreat and retreated like a tide.

Like shrimp and crab shells on the beach after the tide falls, they left more than 100 corpses and twice as many wounded under the city.

Now there are not many places bordering Yanhan and Wu State, and the defense of Jiaozhou on the southern front is still insufficient, so it is naturally impossible to attack, Bazhou Luoxian has always been heavily guarded, there is no chance, and it is really impossible to fight.

There is only Xiangyang, besides, this Xiangyang was given to them by Wei to Wu, why did you Han rob it?

Sun Yi had already prepared, he had already planned for the Northern Expedition, he had been an envoy to the Han State, he had seen the vigorous scene of the Han State, and knew how great the strength of the Han State was.

After all, the Wei State will be overthrown by the Han State, and they Wu State does not want to be destroyed, so it will either go south or north.

But Sun Yan's agitation was useless, he had no right to speak, and the road to the south had been cut off, and he was finally sent here, but he also accumulated strength and devoted himself to the Northern Expedition.

Unexpectedly, he still faced Yan Han, and he didn't want to fight this battle, but with the king's order, he didn't have enough control over his subordinates, so he could only fight.

Xiangyang Jiancheng went south, he ordered people to make a detour, first lay down Fancheng, so that Xiangyang became a lonely city, and then it would naturally be easy to capture, and the Wu army was strong, and he was not afraid of being cut off.

Seeing the Wu thieves under the city retreat with the sound of the horn, a colorful sound suddenly sounded on the city, and the soldiers guarding the city applauded their commander's magic shot again and again, and the sight of Zhang Wei was full of worship.

Since yesterday's battle, Zhang Wei, the temporarily appointed Fan Cheng Ling, has been at the forefront, whether it is the top of the city wall when defending, or the vanguard when counterattacking, Zhang Wei has been in such a position, in just one day, he has three broken longbows, and when the armor on his body is the most, it is more than ten long arrows.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhang Wei is not qualified as a general, as a general, one person is the weight of a thousand troops, fighting to the death is the work of low-level officers and soldiers, and the general who commands thousands of soldiers should be in the rear to guide the whole army.

Zhang Wei is not the kind of general from a poor family, he has not learned the art of war, he is the three masters of the early Han Dynasty, after the Chinese nobles, the art of war has been taught in the family for generations, and he himself has the inheritance of the martial soul of the Yan and Han dynasties.

It's just that now, at this time of crisis, it is impossible to defend the imperial city, Zongpre guards Xiangyang, Jiang Bin has to guard Nanxiang County, and this Fancheng has to be guarded by Zhang Wei, and the back road of Xiangyang City guarded by General Zongpre.

After His Majesty solves the Wei army, when the time comes, he will recapture Jingzhou and strangle the Wu army, he only needs to defend Fancheng and contain the Wu army.

With his generals rushing forward and shooting the enemies one by one, the defense of this Fancheng was much easier, and these recruits brought with him gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battlefield.

Now that the elite of the Han army are all in key places, and the second-rate guards sent to defend the Wu army are all second-rate guards, and he can only boost morale in front.

Seeing that the thief army retreated to rest for a while, Zhang Wei ordered people to come up to clean up the wounded soldiers on the city wall, and the medical guards wearing blue and white military uniforms immediately ran to the city with a team of people, and carried down a few wounded soldiers who were unlucky enough to be hit by arrows on simple stretchers.

Since the final establishment of the military medical system two years ago, it has been implemented from the most elite military to the local guards, and now there are thousands of medical workers after short-term training, although it is not yet possible to achieve the level of one medical guard for every 100 people in the whole army, but in this Fancheng, there are three medical guards among the more than 3,000 guards.

There are also places in the city where Langzhong is recruited, which is barely enough.

Relying on these medical guards, Zhang Wei does not have to worry too much about the problems of ambulance, and his morale will not decline because of the wounded.

With medical protection, then your morale can be maintained at a certain level.

Relying on the 3,000 soldiers who were still able to maintain their morale under the siege of the enemy, Zhang Wei steadily defended this small city, which had not been adventured for many years, and even the city walls were dilapidated, but the foundation of the city wall was extremely solid, and the Wu army wanted to break through, and it was also wishful thinking in a short time.
