The attack on Shi Chao's subordinates ended that night.

According to the information inquired, Shi Chao himself escaped, and the servants were only dozens of horses, which was very embarrassing.

The Ye soldiers who were divided into 12 places suffered heavy losses, and more than half of them were captured and beheaded, and the rest were all scattered. As for whether they can return to Hebei, it depends on their luck.

Sima Yue announced the reward the next day, and the soldiers who participated in the operation gave two silk horses - good guys, which made the already not very rich treasury even worse.

But the effect is also obvious.

The soldiers of this year, even if they are recruited for food, do not have much money.

In the Tang Dynasty, which opened the era of large-scale recruitment for the first time in history, an ordinary soldier's annual clothing, food, and money were converted into money, which was about 20 times.

This is not counting the rewards for regular martial arts competitions in the army, as well as the extra rewards given by the superiors as soon as they are happy, it is almost a state of being a soldier and the whole family eating well.

The recruitment of troops in the Western Jin Dynasty was mostly concentrated in the Luoyang Chinese Army, and it would be good to receive a fraction of the money and grain received in the Tang Dynasty every day.

Therefore, the effect of the two silks is very strong, at least it raises morale.

Compared with the Luoyang Chinese Army, the soldiers of the Kingdom Army were also rewarded with fruits.

Tang Jian, who had been successfully promoted to the head of the guests, led the villagers to pick thousands of fruits of various colors in the manor and sent them to the army.

It's not much, it's just one per person, which means something.

The sergeants were happy about it.

Shao Sima is so brave, he is unstoppable when he rushes to kill, he is so approachable in private, he must be right to follow him.

Shao Xun didn't have much energy to pay attention to what the soldiers were thinking, because he was now in Kim Yong City, looking around at the fortified fortress.

"Why is it so empty?" He asked, puzzled.

Behind him was the shogunate's East Pavilion Sacrificial Wine Yu Liang, who smiled when he heard this: "Fortunately, I did some homework before I came." When Zhang Fang caught Sima Yi, most of the people were gone. Sima, you don't think that the Western soldiers will only arrest Sima Yi and won't kidnap others, right? ”

Shao Xun smiled dumbly, it was really impossible.

After Zhang Fang "emptied" Kim Yong City, the deposed sheep Xianrong moved in for a short time. Just yesterday, she was canonized as queen and moved back to the palace, which was empty.

Shao Xun was also pleased with Yu Liang's performance, at least he would do his homework in advance, and he could be regarded as a caring person.

No one is good from the start.

When Zhou was in the countryside as a street slipper, he was called the "three evils" with the Nanshan Tiger and the Jiao under the Long Bridge. Later, he fought the tiger and never returned. The villagers thought that he and the tiger had died together, and they celebrated. When I came back from Zhou, I encountered this embarrassing social death scene, and I suddenly woke up, it turned out that I was this image in the hearts of the villagers?

Shocked, he went to Lu Yun and asked him if he was too old to change his ways? Lu Yun persuaded him with "the ancients changed their news and nights", "he was inspirational and studious", and the prodigal son turned back.

A little earlier, Lu Meng before "impressively", and he after him, are not the same thing.

This is also the main reason why Shao Xun does not have a celebrity philatelic complex.

You think he is the kind of person who settles the country in the history books, but he may not be mature yet, and he has not learned so many things, as soon as you see it, talk a few words, and be disappointed, you think that the history books are wrong, in fact, you carved a boat to ask for a sword, thinking that this person has the ability to be forty or fifty years old when he is twenty years old, isn't this nonsense?

"This city can be a place to hold for a long time." Shao Xunzai carefully observed the city walls, guards, warehouses, wells, and pavilions, and finally said.

Yu Liang was still a little uneasy, and he stopped talking.

Shao Xun glanced at him, smiled gently, and didn't say anything.

In fact, he is also a little worried that history has been changed, and if he still follows the historical line, he may suffer a loss.

But the big historical context shouldn't have changed, right? It's the small details that have been changed.

Like Sima Yue's northern expedition to Yecheng, it is difficult to change, his determination is already very firm, even if it is different from the time of the division in history, but he will be out of the army after all, it is just a difference between sooner or later.

So, what about the ending?

Can we still firmly believe that the "history" of Sima Yue as the victor of the Eight Kings Rebellion is still correct?

Perhaps. He shouldn't be able to change something so far-reaching.

He analyzed it over and over again, and in the end he just stroked the hilt of the knife.

History will slowly become unreliable, only the knife in the hand will always be reliable.

"Since you stay in Luoyang, ask Midu for an errand and help me recruit soldiers." After watching Kim Yong Cheng, Shao Xun pulled Yu Liang over and said, "Wu Qian and Ling are together, he knows how to choose people, and it is not difficult to have him to help." ”

"Okay." Yu Liang nodded emphatically.

He knew that Shao Xun took care of his face. After all, Wu Qian was still in charge of recruiting troops, he just followed up and learned, and gained some knowledge and experience.

"Let's go." Shao Xun took one last look at Kim Yong Cheng, then turned around and said, "The big battle is imminent, it's good to win, if you lose, it will be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me at that time, so don't go to Cao Junsi, try to follow me." ”

"Okay." Yu Liang, who was once quite arrogant, nodded almost subconsciously, followed behind Shao Xun step by step, and gradually moved away.

******

On the eighth day of July, it was already the third day after the situation was settled.

In the afternoon of this day, the four-member group of the Kingdom Army came to Sikong Mansion and waited for a summons.

Unlike the previous summons, this time they went separately.

Shao Xun observed silently.

There was no sorrow or joy when Mi Huang came out, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

He Lun and Wang Bing were happy when they came out, as if Sima Yue had promised them something.

Shao Xun took a deep breath and walked inside.

"See Sikong." After seeing the ceremony, Shao Xun was stunned for a moment, and found that there were still princesses and princes sitting in the distance, so he saluted again: "See the princess (prince)." ”

"Sit down." Sima Yue said with a pleasant face.

"No." Shao Xun knelt down and looked at Sima Yue.

It was the first time he had seen his lord so polite.

This kind of politeness, generally speaking, requires the subordinates to take their lives to repay.

Just as he cares for his soldiers, he actually looks forward to them fighting to the death on the battlefield in the future.

The warmth of this damn superior.

"Lone also knows that many battalions are unbearable." Sima Yue looked at Shao Xun, who was sitting precariously, and said with a smile: "Today, I saw the soldiers of Luoyang County, who actually had a middle coat and wooden shoes and held a spear, which was like child's play. You are a lieutenant Sima, who has been training in the army all year round, and you look much more powerful than the army. On He Lun's side, Lone has already said that from tomorrow, the army will also be trained by you. ”

"No." Shao Xun replied in a deep voice.

What Sima Yue meant was that the right to train troops in the army belonged to Shao Xun, and the right to command troops was, of course, still to He Lun - as for the right to transfer troops, it was the power of the lieutenant.

Unconsciously, his influence in the Kingdom Army is getting bigger and bigger.

However, Shao Xun's focus at this time was not on this matter.

He lowered his head slightly, and secretly paid attention to Concubine Pei out of the corner of his eye.

Concubine Pei didn't move, sitting there like a sculpture.

"Lone also knows that with your talents, it is more than enough to be a general of an army." Sima Yue continued: "In the battle of Daxiamen, you took the lead, you were injured twice, and you didn't count the enemy, which can be described as a great contribution, and these orphans know it. Rest assured, until the Northern Expedition is successful, the Lone Club will wantonly promote the old people, and the post of general will be yours sooner or later. ”

"The servant is terrified, dare not fight to the death for the king!" Shao Xun fell to the ground and said loudly.

There was finally some movement on the princess's side.

Shizi was young and couldn't hold his breath, and when he heard that he was wounded twice, he was even more surprised in a low voice.

"The matter of Luoyang, listen to Mi Zihui, and Lone has taught him face-to-face." Sima Yue waved his hand, signaling his wife and children to be quiet, his eyes were only staring at Shao Xun, and when he said "face-to-face teaching is appropriate", he even accentuated his tone.

"No." Shao Xun instinctively felt that there was something wrong here, but at this time, he could only answer first and ask after he returned.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Just when Shao Xun thought that Sima Yue was going to make him retreat, he suddenly heard his fluttering voice: "Do you think Luoyang can hold it?" ”

Shao Xun sighed secretly in his heart, he was not sure to hold it, why did you fight this battle? But he said: "As long as all the armies work together, it will not be difficult to defend." ”

"Okay." Sima Yue was obviously a little happy, and couldn't help but ask: "If you can't hold it, how will you stay?" ”

"The servant took the princess and the prince to break out of the siege and went east to Xuzhou."

Sima Yue was relieved.

If there is anyone under the tent who can break through with his wife and children, it can only be the person in front of him.

It's a pity that he was too young, his family background was not good, and he was promoted too quickly, and he couldn't suppress the opposition of the shogunate.

A bunch of people in their forties and fifties or even fifties and sixties, with gray beards, are still boiling their qualifications and waiting for opportunities, what will they think when they hear that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy has a bad family background and can still be promoted every year? How can the morale of the shogunate be maintained?

From the perspective of Aicai, he couldn't do this, because this was roasting Shao Xun on the fire.

But meritorious service cannot go unpaid. Perhaps, after the success of the Northern Expedition, you can consider putting him out to the local area to avoid the dazzling Luoyang.

But this knife is really easy to use, and the effect of staying by his side seems to be greater, and Sima Yue was entangled for a while.

Do you want to take him on a northern expedition? Charging into battle, capturing the flag, maybe let him do it?

But if he makes meritorious service, will he really be promoted?

In addition, I am not young, and I have often felt unwell recently. has been such a son for many years, he is not yet an adult, once he loses, what else will he have in this life? The step-son, compared with the biological one, is different after all.

After thinking about it, he rejected the idea again.

There was silence again.

Shizi seemed to be unable to sit still, and twisted several times.

The princess sat there demurely, her hands folded, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shao Xun bowed his head slightly and sat upright.

"Stand down, do your best. What is needed, straight and millet recovery. If he can't be the master, go with him to Wang Yifu, and he will come forward to arrange it. After Sima Yue came back to his senses, he waved his hand.

Shao Xun promised to step back.

Sima Yue looked out the window in a daze.

It's noon, the sun is blazing, I hope his great cause can be like this noon sun, glorious in all directions.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Sima Yue left Luoyang.

Sima Zhen, the first warrior of the Great Jin Dynasty, was personally recruited, and the crown prince Sima Qin, who recovered his identity, the kings of the clan, and hundreds of civil and military officials accompanied him.

Gou Xi, who was very trusted by Sima Yue, served as a lieutenant in the Northern Army and was regarded as the supreme commander of the forbidden army.

Tens of thousands of people came out through the gates of Daxia, Guangmo, and Jianchun, and there was an endless stream.

And Luoyang, after they left, ushered in the Mi Huang era.

This calamity-ridden city is not destined to be peaceful.

The world of the Great Jin Dynasty will not be peaceful.
