Chapter 662: Just making excuses for doing it
The latest charges against Zhao Xing from the imperial court are: murdering the former emperor and holding the prince hostage. Supporting the army and self-respecting, conspiring to usurp and rebel.
As a witness, it was one of the ten permanent attendants of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eunuch Guo Sheng, and as a witness, there was also Liu Tian, the little prince who escaped from the clutches of Zhao Xing.
Didn't Guo Sheng follow Liu Khotan to Shuzhong? That's right, he and Liu Khotan were indeed brought back to Shuzhong by Zhang Yi and Meng Da back then, and they were also very closely protected by the Sima family.
Since he and Liu Tian finally surfaced this time, and together they exposed Zhao Xingnai as the culprit who killed the former emperor and held the prince hostage, they naturally got the secret instructions of the Sima family. From this point of view, the Sima clan of Yizhou still couldn't hold back this time, and was ready to make a move against Zhao Xing with the imperial court.
The word "official" has two mouths, and naturally it is the final say of the powerful people. There was a prince and a eunuch beside the emperor to testify, and Zhao Xing's crime of murdering the former emperor could basically be "established". As for his sin of holding the prince hostage, that is, no one came forward to testify, and everyone would choose to believe it, because the entitlement of King Jin and King Liang was too weird, and at the same time worshiped Zhao Xing as Fu, which can really be described as "Zhao Guochang's heart, everyone knows it".
Since the charges of "murdering the former emperor and holding the prince hostage" have been established, the subsequent "self-respecting army and conspiracy to usurp" is a logical thing. The reason for "murdering the former emperor" alone is enough to make the current emperor and the son of the former emperor, Liu Wei and Zhao Xing's forces not share the sky, and they will not die, not to mention that there is such a long list of crimes behind.
The first emperor was killed by Zhao Xing, so Zhao Xing deserved to be spurned, disgusted and abandoned by all the people of the Han Dynasty. So the officials, gentry, and common people of the states and counties of the Han Dynasty jointly went to the court to treat Zhao Xing's crimes, and they must rescue the three princes and the four princes who were held hostage by Zhao Xing, so that the brothers could finally reunite in Luoyang!
Zhao Xing has been taken out of the customs by the Hu people, and his life and death are still unknown, how can he punish the crime? Then remember first! The capital crime can be avoided (if Zhao Xing has already died outside the pass), and the living crime cannot be escaped (if Zhao Xing suddenly escapes back from the gate), and when the thief is not in the old nest, he seized the time to dig out the thief's den and rescue the imprisoned third and fourth princes.
When Zhao Xing received an urgent report from Jia Xu in the direction of Gaoping, a full 100,000 troops were gathered in the direction of Yizhou and launched a fierce attack on Liangguo by two routes, east and west.
The Yizhou East Route Army was led by Sima Yi himself, and the generals under the account were Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Ang, Tian Xu, Hu Lie and others, and the 50,000-strong army set out from Nanzheng, bypassing Wudu County along the Baosxian Road to the north and arriving at Chencang Road, and then attacked Shangguo City (near today's water) to the west.
The Yizhou West Route Army was led by Yan Yan, Fa Zheng served as the military division, and the generals under the account were Wu Ban, Jiang Bin, Liu Bi, Chen Shi and others, and the 50,000 troops set out from the Guanghan vassal state, passing through the territory of Baimaqiang and Shenluoqiang, and also bypassed Wudu County and went straight to Lintao of Longxi County.
Because there were 15,000 vanguard troops stationed in Wudu County, this time the two armies of Yizhou avoided the real and made way of Wudu, so that the fortifications carefully built by Yang Fu and Han Wei and others in Wudu could not play a role.
It seems to have been secretly discussed, the direction of Yizhou is the main attack on Wudu, and the Huangfu Song in the direction of Chang'an is to lead an army of 60,000 directly to the north, and after successively capturing the two cities of Qiyuan and Diaoyin, he is now besieging the important town of Gaonu (now Yan'an), which is garrisoned by the Crouching Tiger Army. Once the Gaonu fell, the gateway to the west of the Jin Kingdom was opened, and there was no danger to defend the west of the Yellow River.
In Hedong County, which suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Jinwu and had no garrison for a period of time, 20,000 troops were recently sent from the direction of Luoyang, led by Zhonglang General Jin Xuan, and stationed in Linfen City, and the intention of containing the Shangdang Jin army was very obvious.
The most worrying thing is the changes that have taken place on the battlefield in Jizhou. The line from Guang to Guangzong, which was originally jointly garrisoned by the Black Mountain Army and the Xiongwu Army, suddenly revealed a big gap due to the sudden disappearance of the Black Mountain Army. The 60,000 southern troops that had been stationed in the area of Yecheng suddenly divided 30,000 people, led by deputy marshal Zhang Fei, and successively conquered the cities of Yiyang, Guangnian and Nanhe, and had the momentum of attacking the city of Liao Tao in one go.
In terms of the Qingzhou battlefield, Cao Cao did not know what his considerations were, and there was no sign of a head-on confrontation with the Qingzhou army, but he made very severe representations to the Jin State, demanding the immediate release of the captured Xiahou Yuan and nearly 10,000 Cao army soldiers. According to Guo Jia's analysis, once Xiahou Yuan and the nearly 10,000 Cao army prisoners returned to Yanzhou safely, I was afraid that Cao Heizi would find a reason to provoke another war next.
In terms of the battlefield in Xuzhou, Liu Yan and Yuan Shu, who were frightened by Zhang Liao and Li Tiezhu, did not make any big moves for the time being, but Liu Yan and Yuan Shu had invariably withdrawn the tens of thousands of troops who had originally gone north to Jizhou to support Zhu Jun, and now they were stationed at the junction with Xuzhou.
Gongsun Du in the Liaodong region had already fought against the Karasuma people, and Goguryeo also seemed to have an intention to attack Xuansu County in the south.
Sun Jian, who was in Wuzhou, still had no intention of crossing the Yangtze River in the north, but concentrated on opening up to the south, and along the way, he cleared and subdued the Baiyue tribes in the territory.
Those who have already taken action against the Jin State have very righteous and sufficient reasons, and those who have not yet taken action against the Jin State are also actively looking for opportunities and reasons.
It can be said that the changes that have taken place in the entire situation in Dahan today are completely caused by Zhao Xing alone. Although such a situation was exactly what Zhao Xing expected, the situation was developing too quickly and violently, and it seemed that it was in danger of gradually getting out of his control.
However, Zhao Xing does not seem to be worried about the current situation, and he is still implementing his "Pingxi Plan" and "Liaodong Plan" step by step. The Blue Wolf Army, which is secretly sneaking northeast, is still on its way; the Montenegrin Army, which is secretly sending to Jeju Island, has landed on the island and is now building a military port and shore facilities; a new batch of secretly trained Euphorbia soldiers is assembling in Gopyeong; and the secretly established Marine Brigade of the Marine Division is also being trained in an orderly manner......
When everyone in the world thought that without Zhao Xing's Jin forces, they would inevitably face the end of collapse this time, Tian Feng, who was in Xiatao City, was conspiring with Wang Lu, the newly appointed commander of the Marine Brigade, how to kill Zhang Fei; Zhang He, who was in Gaoping City, was planning with Jia Xu how to calculate Sima Yi; Hu Che'er, who was in a hidden valley, was discussing with Tian Yue how to sneak attack Huangfu Song; and Li Tiezhu, who was in Huailing City, was muttering to Zhao Zhenbang how to get the 30,000 troops that Yuan Shu had transferred back from the north......
As the initiator of the overall plan, Zhao Xing, the "King of Pingxi", personally led 50,000 mobile troops, and was rushing to Chang'an City at the fastest speed......
In fact, Zhao Xing made such a big move, why wasn't he making an excuse for the Jin State to send troops?
