In the cold wind.

Shi Bao stood on the city wall, looking at the Qin army camp, his long white beard fluttering with the cold wind.

A burst of majestic drums sounded, and it was the Qin army taking the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The sound of fighting came from far and near, and several camps of the Jin army had been breached.

The smoke and dust are billowing out, and there is a tendency to approach Yecheng.

This shows that Zhang Fang was defeated......

Shi Bao was irritable.

This sneak attack was originally a desperate move, just to boost morale.

I didn't expect Zhang Fang, who seemed to be brave and invincible in the past, to be so poor.

"Order, all the armies outside the city will return to Yecheng!"

It is absolutely impossible to hold it outside the city, and it is impossible to hold it, and the people's hearts can be seen at a glance.

Being able to hold off the Qin army for two months has actually met Shi Bao's expectations.

With the towering walls of Yecheng, they can prevent the Jin army from escaping, and they can also withstand the wind and snow, so that they will suffer less.

However, some of the soldiers ran into the city, while others surrendered to the Qin army......

"Father ordered to retire from the army, I am afraid that Your Majesty will blame, today Your Majesty is not what it used to be, and you need to make an example of ......" Shi Tong said worriedly.

"If you don't order to retreat, will more than 100,000 people be recruited by the Qin army outside the city? If this is the case, the three clans of the Shi family will be wiped out! Shi Bao was a little irritable.

Zhang Fang's failure means that the general trend outside the city has gone.

Only by retreating to the city can we preserve our vitality.

At this moment, Shi Bao suddenly understood Sima Yan's behavior of cutting the soil and asking for help.

Maybe Sima Yan must know the situation in the Jin Kingdom today.

Shi Tong said: "The people's hearts are like this, I'm afraid that this Yecheng can't hold it." ”

The fortifications that took so much manpower and material resources didn't last even two months, so how long can Yecheng resist?

Shi Bao shook his head, "Yecheng is strong, enough to keep it for a year, a year, the world is still unknown, don't think about it, you and I are Jin ministers, you and I should be loyal to Your Majesty, share worries for the country, and have your own plans for your father." ”

The front is all nonsense, and the last sentence is the point.

And Shi Tong asked for the last sentence.

The father and son were silent for a long time, until the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice behind his back: "Da Sima, Your Majesty is urgently summoned!" ”

"Obey." Shi Bao knew that his test was coming.

Over Tongque Terrace, clouds are rolling.

On the stairs, the armor soldiers stood side by side.

Shi Baorong Ma has been a horse all his life, so he naturally won't mind these means and enter with his head held high.

The temple was unusually quiet.

You can neither hear the howling wind outside, nor the wailing of the battlefield.

"Without my edict, why did Da Sima order to retreat into the city?" Sima Yan's voice was gentle.

But it's a little uncomfortable.

"Back to Your Majesty, the outside of the city can no longer be guarded, stay outside, or be taken advantage of by Qin thieves, it is better to recall, Yecheng is strong, and it can be isolated from inside and outside."

"I heard that Zhang Fang was defeated and killed?" Sima Yan said with a smile.

Shi Bao stubbornly said, "Yes." ”

Feng Zhen said like a ghost: "Da Sima, General Zhang was ordered by you to go and attack the enemy camp. ”

"Yes!"

"If there is no military order from Da Sima, can our army avoid this defeat?"

The words came out of Feng Zhen's mouth, but Shi Bao took it as Sima Yan's question, "It is inevitable that our army will flee and have to take the initiative to attack and frustrate the enemy's spirit." ”

"Oh?" Sima Yan's smile was still.

Shi Bao arched his hand and said: "In a few days, we will enter Sanjiu, it will only be colder outside the city, our army lacks winter clothes, and the supply of dry firewood is not enough, and it is difficult for our army to last until the Qin army counterattacks, and the minister's move is only to retain a trace of vitality for the Great Jin." ”

This winter was the coldest in a decade.

caught Yecheng Junchen off guard.

Feng Zhen looked at Sima Yan.

Sima Yan's eyes kept flickering, sometimes hesitating, sometimes hateful......

Shi Bao knew that his life was hanging by a thread, but he was relieved to think of leaving a pulse for the Shi family.

At this moment, the figure of his friend Deng Ai suddenly appeared in his mind.

Back then, the two of them were young and frivolous, unwilling to be unwilling, but they didn't expect that when they were old, they would inevitably have a knife in their necks.

At this time, Xun Miao arched his hand and said: "Da Sima has made outstanding achievements, the old ministers of the four dynasties, loyal and loyal, the soldiers and the people rely on him, Your Majesty is clear." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Bao and Sima Yan frowned at the same time.

The soldiers and the people relied on it, and this was a reprimand.

Xun Miao seemed to be talking for Shi Bao, but it was more like arching fire.

Even if he can repel the Qin army this time, Shi Bao's life will not last long......

A smile welled up on Sima Yan's face again, "The Great Sima Fu Zuo family has been working hard for decades, how can I not know?" Since the military affairs have been entrusted to the Great Sima, I am naturally relieved. ”

Without the stone bag, who else can always take the three armies? In Yecheng, there are fewer and fewer people available.

I don't know if I've eaten too much Wushi recently and Sima Yan feels different from everyone else.

At this time, He Shao rushed over with a happy face, "Your Majesty, I am very happy, the three Xianbei departments are willing to send troops, and a total of 60,000 cavalry is already on the way!" ”

"Great goodness!" Sima Yan's smile became real.

Coupled with the 50,000 horses and horses of Ronghong, there are 110,000 people in the north, Youzhou is stable, and Jizhou is also stable.

The Qin army had two partial divisions, one was blocked in Xiangguo and the other was blocked in Liyang.

It doesn't seem to be much dangerous.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The ministers in the palace complimented.

"The Qin thieves are reckless, fighting for many years, strong and middle-class, hundreds of thousands of troops, grain and grass are transported from Guanzhong, can it last for a long time? From my point of view, at most three months, the Qin thieves will definitely not be supported! Sima Yan encouraged.

A new city in Hefei can block 200,000 Wu troops for half a year.

A Shouchun can block Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops, and with the solidity of Yecheng, it is not difficult to block the Qin army for three months.

】

What's more, it is a cold winter, which is not conducive to attacking the city.

Hold on for another three months, and the outcome will be reversed!

Sima Yan even imagined the scene where the Qin army was short of food, and he led the army to pursue behind.

As long as the Qin army is defeated once, the situation of confrontation between the east and the west will take shape.

The Jin Kingdom will also continue its life for another ten years!

"Your Majesty is very true." The faces of the ministers also swelled with long-lost joy.

But among the crowd, there was the most discordant voice, Liu Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin people used the method of attacking the heart, and the soldiers and soldiers were scattered, so they did not hold the camp outside the city. ”

The treasury of the Jin State is empty, but Sima Yan's inner treasury is not empty.

Sima Yan was able to maintain a life of poverty and luxury in Yecheng, all supported by the inner library.

Liu Yi copied his old bottom......

"The soldiers withdrew to the city, which was enough to withstand the wind and cold, but what Qing said was also that the edict was passed on, and the people in the city were ordered to give each household a hundred catties of dry firewood, a piece of cold food."

Sima Yan moved the capital, and all the people in Luoyang who had some family backgrounds moved with him.

These people were the most loyal supporters of the Jin Kingdom.

Sima Yan's scythe was aimed at them without hesitation.

"Your Majesty......" Liu Yi never thought that Sima Yan, who was wise and wise back then, would become what he is today.

"Retreat!" Sima Yan didn't want to be verbose anymore.
