Chapter 44: Entering the Meeting

Shao Xun and Mi Huang entered from the Jianchun Gate in the east of the city.

Because the Jizhou soldiers turned to the defense and the situation in the east of the city eased slightly, the Jianchun Gate would be held for one or two hours every day, so that the sergeants could go out to collect wood - if there was no firewood, cooking would be a problem, and the house could only be demolished.

This is war.

The exchange of troops between the two armies and the attack on each other's woodcutters has always been an important means.

"Inspector, have the thieves committed another offense against Jianchun Gate after October?" When entering the city to search, Shao Xun asked softly.

The guards at the door were probably the people of the Seventh Army of the Su Guard, and the inspection was very careful, even if Mi Huang held the seal letter in his hand, he still waited for a while before putting him in.

As for Shao Xun, he didn't even have an official notice, and he didn't even know if there were identity documents such as official notices and confessions in this era, so in the end, he still used Mi Huang's entourage to enter the city.

"Once or twice." After thinking about it, Mi Huang said: "I also heard from others, there are not many people who come, and they are all repelled by Wang Shi for thousands of steps. ”

Shao Xun nodded.

It seems that the enemy army did not attack seriously. Thousands of people, purely to tempt.

"It's the Yamen Army who came to test, and the fight is still very tragic." Mi Huang said again.

Shao Xun was silent.

It should be the part of the Luoyang forbidden army that defected to Sima Ying, with more than 20,000 before and after, but I don't know how many are left now.

I heard that in the battle of Jianchunmen a while ago, when the Ye soldiers were defeated, it was they who launched a resolute counter-charge, which did not allow Wang Shi to capture more heads.

This will be them coming to harass again, and they will consume each other with Wang Shi. The dead are all the elite Luoyang Chinese army, and if they continue to fight, I am afraid that they will not all be killed.

In fact, stretched to the entire historical dimension, the destruction of more than 100,000 cavalry of the Chinese army in Luoyang was a catastrophe.

After they withdrew, even though Sima Yue, who was in power, tried every effort to rebuild the Luoyang Chinese Army, there were few old foundations left, and the "second" of the Chinese army was just a spectacle.

Since then, the military system in the north has begun to be reconstructed, and all forces have competed to appear on the stage, from the beginning of rookies pecking each other, to slowly playing the level and fighting effectiveness.

The South also began a painful military reconstruction, from the beginning of the rabble, to the appearance of a regular army.

And this process is a catastrophe for the people.

Some armies are very bad in combat, but the ability to bring disaster to the people is epic.

Shao Xun could see the course of history, but he couldn't stop it. At the very least, the destruction of the Luoyang Chinese army is inevitable - there are not many of them left now, and the two camps combined, at most 40,000 people.

After the two of them entered the city from the Spring Gate, they turned to the north and went to the imperial road in the Dongyang Gate, and then passed through a checkpoint, and then they were allowed to go west.

The royal road in Dongyang Gate is the east-west axis of Luoyang City, which leads directly to the gate of Miyagi. Sima Jian and Sima Yi's henchmen once fought on this street, and they were killed and wounded. And on this street, there are many dignitaries and nobles who live.

For example, in the southwest of Dongyang Gate is the house of the former Situ Xunqiao.

The Xun family is a well-known wealthy family in Henan. Xun Miao's several sons were eunuchs, and one daughter also married Sima Yan, the king of Wu, and gave birth to a son, Sima Ye (later Emperor Jin Shu).

To the north of Xun Xuan's house, there is the old house of Shi Chong, which covers a vast area and is beautiful, but I don't know who it belongs to.

Outside the Dongyang Gate is the outer royal road, go to the city for two miles, and there are the old houses of Wu and Shu, which are connected to the horse market.

In short, this royal road is amazing, there are many dignitaries and nobles, much stronger than the royal road outside the Kaiyang Gate where Shao Xun was stationed before, and the average number of people who live there is a grade higher.

The two traveled west for a stick of incense, and then arrived at Sikong Mansion.

"Mi Inspector." The sergeant guarding the gate saw it from a distance and immediately saluted.

Mi Huang snorted.

Shao Xun returned the salute.

"Can the lord be at home?" Mi Huang asked.

"It's going on in the house."

"With whom?"

The sergeant did not answer.

Mi Huang had a slight displeasure on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Shao Xun observed silently.

Mi Huang is usually very polite to him, but it is a friendship formed by carrying a gun and fighting together, and he may not be like this when facing others.

Well, this is a good opportunity to get to know Mi Huang's personality and the other side of the world.

"After a little trouble, I said that Uncle Shao and I have arrived, and we have something important to see." Mi Huang said.

"No." Soon someone came in to report it.

Mi Huang and Shao Xun waited patiently.

After a while, a servant went out to meet them and lead them in.

Shao Xun looked at it fixedly, and it was actually Pei Sixteen.

He suddenly thought of the princess, and wondered if he could see each other this time. Then I introspected again, I have a little problem, why do I always want to see other people's wives?

However, the princess is his great benefactor and biggest supporter.

The most important thing is that the princess is a very smart woman, although she does not participate in politics and pre-politics, she can always shelter him from the wind and rain through various means.

It's a pity that I can't see it now.

******

On the elegant and quiet path, the three of them walked silently.

Suddenly, I only heard Pei Sixteen say in an inaudible voice: "Wang Senjun is visiting, and he proposes that Liu Qia be the lieutenant of the East China Sea Kingdom. The princess said, 'Liu Sima has not made an inch, how can he take up an important position', and the matter was abandoned. ”

After speaking, Pei Sixteen kept silent, as if nothing had happened.

Mi Huang and Shao Xun glanced at each other, and they were all happy.

Director Wang's house is a bit excessive. When did he get on the line with Liu Qia?

Liu Qia too, is there a hole in the brain? What kind of family background do you have, does Director Wang really look down on you? I'm afraid I'm not being used as a gunman.

In addition, Shao Xun also sensed something unusual.

He didn't know much about Director Wang's character, so he could only speculate from the general history he knew, combined with the current situation.

From a historical point of view, Wang Dao and Sima Rui were in a group, and the two went to Xiapi together, and then crossed the river to the south to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In Xiapi, who is the leader of the king and the horse? If you can figure this out, a lot of things will be solved.

Or from a historical point of view, Shao Xun feels that Director Wang is most likely the leader. He chose Sima Rui, firstly, because the two had a good relationship, and secondly, was there any factor that Sima Rui's personality was easy to handle?

"Guardian ......," Shao Xun called softly.

"What?"

"Can the superintendent know who Langya Wang Rui is?"

"Bow down."

That's right! Shao Xun suddenly realized that he seemed to have figured out something.

Director Wang's guy is actually not aimed at him, nor is it aimed at Mi Huang, isn't it aimed at the Pei family?

He probably regarded himself and Mi Huang as the Pei family's pony boys, and when he thought of the rumors that Pei Dun wanted to be the assassin of Xuzhou, Shao Xun's heart was heavy.

Will there be more than one Wang Dao? The Langya Wang family is a big family, and there are other children, will they all have tasks?

It's just that Director Wang happened to be assigned to Xuzhou?

The other children also have their own efforts?

Too little information to judge. But Shao Xun is already very satisfied, this is the advantage of the traverser.

If you are an indigenous, you don't know about Director Wang's later partnership with Sima Rui in Xuzhou, and you are really confused.

It's a pity that his historical knowledge is limited, except for Wang Dao, who assisted in the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he only knows a rebellious Wang Dun.

Where did Wang Dun go afterward? Is there any intention to assassinate a state or a governor?

No one could answer him.

It's a pity.

The three of them walked silently like this, and soon came to the outside of Sima Yue's study.

Pei Sixteen went in and bowed for a while, and the two were allowed in.

"See the lord."

"See Sikong."

Mi Huang and Shao Xun bowed and saluted.

"Sit down." Sima Yue commanded, and his own maid brought the futon.

They both knelt on top of each other.

It wasn't the first time Shao Xun had seen Sima Yue, but he had never seen him so closely.

Judging from the figure behind the bookcase, it is likely to be of medium stature.

Long face, slightly thin, cheekbones slightly protruding.

There are slight wrinkles on his forehead, his eyes are slightly tired, and his lips are tightly pursed, as if he is angry with someone.

The beard is well groomed, and it seems that he usually pays attention to his image.

Overall, he seems to be a restless and exhausted middle-aged man.

But Shao Xun quickly denied this.

Sima Yue can't talk about being down.

His image is probably caused by suffering for a long time.

As for what he was going to do, the traverser also knew.

Yes, Shao Xun is not clear about the historical details, but the matter of Sima Yue being the victor of the Eight Kings Rebellion is still clear.

Thinking of Mi Huang's hint again, combined with the current situation inside and outside Luoyang, Shao Xun just wants to complain: You have a lot of fun! This is going to be a big deal, right? No wonder it's so tormenting.

Gou is Sima Yue's consistent style.

Taking the initiative to attack this kind of thing, he may not be used to it, not to mention that this kind of thing is too risky, and if he doesn't pay attention to the whole family, it is estimated that he hasn't slept well recently.

There was also one person in the study, not tall, chubby, and well maintained.

The eyes are sharp, slightly scrutinizing, but not too aggressive.

He didn't sit upright like Mi Huang and Shao Xun, but sat on his knees very relaxedly, with a good taste of time, even after Mi and Shao entered the door, he didn't change, showing quite confidence.

This is Director Wang, Shao Xun has seen it.

Today's meeting is a bit exciting.

To be honest, he prefers a face-to-face fight with real knives and guns to this kind of political occasion. Because he is self-aware, he knows where his strengths are and what his weaknesses are.

The Art of War: "Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses".

It's really unwise to fight with the big clans, and you can only play with knives with them to show your skills.

In addition, the princess is not there, which is a little regrettable......

"Summoning you and waiting for you today, there is really a life-threatening matter." Sima Yue finished handling the official business at hand, raised his head, and said in an unhurried voice.

Mi Huang and Shao Xun immediately raised their heads and listened.

Director Wang also straightened his body slightly.

The play meat is coming.
