Sima Zhao is definitely stronger than Ma Tan, he will not be like Ma Tan, he obviously has the most suitable strategy and does not choose, he has to go up the mountain to camp, and he does not know how to protect the water source in advance. Sima Zhao had no mountains to climb at all.

Sima Zhao arranged for Xiahou He to continue to hold the Hangu Pass, and he took 5,000 soldiers to guard the north side of the avenue. It's really a wide and wide avenue!!

What's even worse is that this avenue is a cliff on one side, and the Yellow River on the other, not only has no mountains to go up, but it does not delay the intake of water.

Sima Zhao had no choice at all, he had to go down to the village, otherwise he would not be able to block the entire road at all.

This is completely a battle of attrition and time, and there is no way back.

Sima Zhao couldn't help it, he knew that he would face a lot of difficulties when he came to guard this Hangu Pass, but he didn't expect that the difficulties would be so great now.

Now, Sima Zhao's only hope is that Xinbi's side can transfer reinforcements as soon as possible, or his father can return as soon as possible.

At this time, Xinbi was also anxious and couldn't sleep all night. This is a fatal thing for an old man who is almost seventy years old.

But there is no way, Luoyang is in danger, but there are not enough reinforcements around, not to mention, even the reinforcements from Hebei will not be able to come for a while.

I don't know what the imperial court thought, why did it decide to temporarily suspend the war in Luoyang and let Cao Zhen lead the order to go north to quell Gongsun Yuan's rebellion?!

What kind of thing is that Gongsun Yuan, even if he is rampant for a while, he doesn't have the courage to attack to the south.

But the Shu thieves are different, once the Shu thieves recapture Luoyang, the meaning will be completely different.

The two capitals of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang, if the Shu thieves are taken back, then the Shu thieves will no longer be a partial local government, and they have the strength and qualifications to declare orthodoxy and realize the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, it is difficult to guess the thoughts of the world's families.

The reason why Emperor Shizuwen was able to receive Zen on behalf of the Han Dynasty was because all the families in the world thought that the Han family was going to end, and Cao Wei was destined to return to Heaven If Luoyang is lost, what do you make the world family think? !

The Han Dynasty has been inherited for 400 years, even after more than 30 years of war, the people's hearts will not be completely dispersed in such a short period of time, and Liu Bei has been under the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, which has also played a role in gathering people's hearts and announcing the existence of the Han Dynasty to the world.

In the past, the Shu thieves lived in the southwest and their influence was insufficient, even if they captured Hanzhong, it was just a corner of the ending, and it was too difficult to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

But now in the past ten years, the Shu thieves have captured Yongliang Pass, and they already have the capital to win the world, and then let them seize Heluo. It's unstoppable.

At that time, there will definitely be a wavering in the attitude of the world's families, whether it is the Central Plains family or the Hebei family, they will be hovering between the Han and Wei dynasties, this is the thing that really digs the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty.

In this era, a government without the support of the family will never last.

This idea is the most direct idea of Simbi now, and at the same time, it is also the true idea of the family in this era, right, at least the family really thinks so.

In short, the current Xinbi is really anxious, on the one hand, he asked for reinforcements again to Yecheng, and on the other hand, he continued to send soldiers to Hedong and Hanoi counties to defend Luoyang in the name of temperance and control.

This time, Xin Bi didn't plan to rub shoulders with those Hedong families, and told them bluntly that there were only two choices in front of them.

Or, you continue to rely on it, and wait until Dawei guards Luoyang, and then turn around and clean you up.

At that time, it will not be a sentence or two of explanations that can fool the past, and it will take out a few human heads.

Or, you hurry up and lead the troops to support now, then the previous things are not to blame, and the benefits that should be there after the war in the future are indispensable to you, and even, Xin Bi also made a promise for Cao Rong without authorization, and promised to give a lot of benefits in exchange for the conditions.

Of course, the premise is that Luoyang still has to be in the hands of Great Wei.

If Luoyang is lost and the Shu thieves occupy Luoyang, then you have to consider for yourself whether the Shu thieves will fulfill these promises for Dawei.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Xin Bi is forcing these Hedong families to express their position, whether they are on the side of the Great Wei, or they plan to "eat pot pulp to welcome the king".

And for this, Simbi is actually quite sure.

After all, since Emperor Taizuwu "served the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate", the Hedong family has firmly stood on Cao Wei's side, and all their vested interests are based on supporting Cao Wei.

There is no reason for these people to let go of their existing vested interests and go to Shu Han to negotiate and seek some unknown interests.

After all, the attitude and policy of Shu Han's side towards the family, and the Hedong family have also seen it in the eyes of the Hedong family over the years, which is a relationship that is both suppressed and relied on.

Obviously, it is far less than Cao Wei, or since Cao Pi, who has given more.

Now that Cao Wei has not reached the point of exhaustion, the family will not easily abandon vested interests and seek cooperation with Shu Han.

And the facts have also proved that Simbi's understanding of the family is very correct.

After the severely worded edict of Xinbi, the Hedong family chose to compromise. Sima Shi was able to lead 15,000 soldiers from Hedong County to cross the river south to support Luoyang.

Of course, it is said that it is the Hedong County Soldiers, but in fact, they are just private soldiers made up by the clans, and they are only named after the establishment of the county soldiers, and the individual combat effectiveness may not be as bad as the ordinary county soldiers, but the organization and training degree cannot be compared with the standing county soldiers at all.

To put it bluntly, if you really go to the battlefield, you can still fight a downwind battle, and to what extent you can fight a headwind battle, it can only depend on the command ability of the generals and the will of God.

But, it's enough.

Now Luoyang is really short of people, Xin Bi can't wait for him as long as he is a strong man, not to mention that these private soldiers of the family have some training, and they are also some brave and ruthless people, who are better than ordinary people.

finally settled the side of the Hedong family, and a new problem came again.

Sima Shi led these fifteen thousand people south, and after crossing the river in Mengjin, he did not come directly in the direction of Luoyang, but turned a corner and went in the direction of Gucheng.

In this direction, there is no need to ask, he is going to support the Hanguguan battlefield.

Xinbi, who is in a hurry, can you save snacks one by one.

Can Lao Tzu not know the importance of Hangu Pass?! Can you not know the predicament that Sima Zhao is facing now?! Don't you know that as long as you hold Hangu Pass, Luoyang will not be in danger?!

But the question is, what if you can't keep Hangu Pass, Sima Shi, have you considered this little bastard?!

Your group of soldiers came to Luoyang to consolidate Luoyang's city defense, even if you lose Hangu Pass, Luoyang still has the capital to hold on. But now you run to support your brother, if the two of you are broken by the Shu thieves together, then there is really no way for me to do it.

15,000 people, why don't you come to Luoyang first, improve the morale of the army and the people in Luoyang, and then I will let you lead 10,000 troops to support Hangu Pass, isn't it okay?!

In this way, not only can you rescue your brother, but I can also raise the morale of the Luoyang defenders, what do you have to do on your own initiative?!

Simbi that depressed. Sima Shi's behavior, no matter what excuse he makes, he does not listen to the order, puts it in the military law, and it is not too much to directly behead the capital.

But Xinbi couldn't really cut him, after all, now relying on Sima's father and son to guard Si Lihe Luo Xinbi had to send someone to Gucheng to send an order to Sima Shi and wipe his ass.

After solving the problem of the two sons here, Xin Bi turned around and sent Sima Yi a return document again.

Don't wave, if you wave again, Luoyang should let your two unlucky sons go to Lang, hurry back to the army to defend Luoyang.

This is not the first time that Xin Bi has issued a recall document to Sima Yi, who is on the front line in Yingchuan, and the first recall document was issued five days ago.

But the recall document issued that time only informed Sima Yi of the situation behind him, and at that time Xin Bi did not know that Hedong County would not obey the order and act slowly, nor did he know that the Hebei reinforcements from the imperial court would not come for a while.

Therefore, in the document of recalling Sima Yi, Xin Bi only gave a general account of the situation, and let Sima Yi decide whether to withdraw his troops from the front line.

But now it's not going to work, the situation has reached this point, if you Sima Yi don't come back, I'm afraid there will be no chance to come back.

Therefore, without receiving a reply from Sima Yi, Xin Bi issued a second recall again, and this time the wording was relatively urgent.

Xin Bi believes that Sima Yi will not have any shirk after seeing his second recall document.

Can. Three days later, Simbi received a reply from Sima Yi.

Sima Yi expressed the hope that Xin Bi could hold out in Luoyang for at least ten days, creating an opportunity for him to break the Yingchuan Shu thieves.

As soon as Xin Bi saw this reply, his eyes darkened with anger. None of the things in the Sima family are worry-free.

When your son doesn't listen to orders, forget it, you, the father, are starting to procrastinate, right?!

Finally relieved with the help of the servants, Xin Bi picked up Sima Yi's reply again and read it carefully, and then carefully calculated the time of the reply, Xin Bi was a little relieved.

This reply should be in response to the recall edict he issued for the first time, and Xin Bi himself was not too anxious at that time, and Sima Yi asked him to stick to Luoyang for ten days, which was not an accident.

can take a look at the second half of this reply letter, saying that Sima Yi wants to break the Yingchuan Shu thief. Simbie was anxious again.

Don't be a wave, what Lao Tzu lacks most now is soldiers!!

I had a headache today, and the code word was like a terrible thing. There are two chapters first, and there should be more to come, but whether it is one chapter or two, I'm not sure.
