On the evening of the fourth day of November, Shao Xun led the army to Duyang.

During this period, after receiving the news, Wang Ru was ready to move again and began to "recover" the surrounding counties and townships.

On the sixth night of the first month, I stayed in Ye County.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, the army arrived in Kunyang and officially entered the boundary of Yuzhou.

At this time, news from the north came one after another.

Between the marches, Shao Xun drew a map on the dirt floor on the side of the road and studied it carefully.

The situation is actually very clear, the Xiongnu are restrained.

Their main force is in the Luoyang Basin, and so far they have only attacked Luoyang once, that is, on the first day of arrival.

On the morning of the same day, he first attacked Guangmomen, but did not fight.

In the afternoon and evening, they stormed the Ximing Gate, and they did not resist.

Then he gave up.

There are 27,000 cavalry of the forbidden army in Luoyang City, plus the collected Ding Zhuang, Captain Sili, Henan Yin, Duzhi Captain and other miscellaneous soldiers, the number of soldiers broke 50,000, approaching 60,000.

The Xiongnu had 200,000 infantry, and they might not be able to attack it head-on.

If you want to take Luoyang, you still have to rely on the siege, that is, Sima Ying's tactics back then.

The Xiongnu also realized it, but they didn't catch up with the good times, and they didn't have the financial resources when Sima Ying and Sima Hao joined forces, so they were destined to not be able to besiege for a long time.

Shao Xun even suspected that the strength of Liu Han's army was not as good as that of Sima Ying and Sima Hao's combined army, with more than 200,000 infantry troops and tens of thousands of Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Zahu cavalry.

Alas, in the final analysis, it was the Sima family who died by themselves.

Such a huge army actually died together with the Luoyang Chinese Army in a few years, which is really black humor.

Of course, the current Great Jin Dynasty cannot be compared with seven or eight years ago.

When Sima Ying's Yecheng army left the division, the drums stretched for hundreds of miles, known as the grand occasion of the division that had not been seen in a hundred years, and it was difficult to reproduce it again, and financial and human resources were not allowed.

"Yuan Yan, Zheng Long." Shao Xun wrote two names next to the Golden Gate Dock in the Luoshui River Valley.

According to the military newspaper, as of the 5th day of November, the two still had more than 3,500 loyal troops and 1,900 forts.

There are student soldiers who act as the marshals and sages of the fort, and there are the heads and generals of the village who have been reorganized for many years, and the will to fight of the forts is still possible. And the longer they fought, the more they didn't dare to surrender, and Shao Xun felt that there would be no results along the way.

The most dangerous is the county seat of Yiyang, which may have been captured if the Xiongnu gathered a large army to besiege it.

In the four places of Gancheng, Yique, Otani, and Yuyuan, there was no war for the time being.

The situation in the west is already clear.

The Huns, who lacked the infantry to attack the fortifications, would not have made any big gains.

In fact, Shao Xun felt that the Huns might not have had much expectation.

Before Liu Yuan died, almost none of the generals who arranged the division of the forbidden troops came, and I don't know if he died of civil strife or what.

If he dies in civil strife, then it will be Liu Cong's problem.

He was too anxious, his father had only been buried for a month, and the forbidden army had not yet been rectified, so he hurriedly yelled and sent people to fight Luoyang, I don't know if he heard the rebellion in Jingzhou, and immediately felt that there was a great opportunity and wanted to fight.

Gamblers don't win.

Shao Xun wrote Pei Chun's name on the Tiger Prison Pass again.

Not only did this person not run away, but he scattered all his wealth, recruited strong men to defend the city, and forcibly withstood Shi Le and Shi Chao's two-sided attacks, which made Shao Xun impressed, and felt that Pei Chun didn't seem to be so unbearable.

However, the county seat of Xingyang fell.

Wang Sang and Shi Lebu conquered it, and then divided their troops to collect grain and grass.

What will happen next, no one knows.

"Whoosh!" Shao Xun threw the dagger on top of Xingyang, then turned over and continued to move forward.

On the ninth night of the first month, he went to Xiangcheng, took the vehicle baggage, supplied grain and grass equipment, and gathered a part of the government soldiers.

On the 11th, to Yingyin.

On the thirteenth, to the long shrine. Because of the continuous march, the army rested here for a day.

At this time, Wang Sang, Shi Chao and others finally gave up the attack on the Tiger Prison Pass and began to plunder everywhere.

Among them, Shi Chao plundered in Xingyang and Chenliu.

The Shile tribe was led by Lu Ming, Hu Yanmo and others, and went east to Puyang.

Wang Sang led the crowd south, entering Yingchuan and Chenjun.

******

Snowflakes actually fell in the sky.

This day has passed so fast.

Pan Tao sighed, came to a manor, and after passing the ceremony, was led in.

There was a strange smell in the room, as if it was mixed with medicinal soups, spices, and other things, and it was breathless.

Pan Tao's gaze passed over everyone and fell on Sima Yue on the bed.

Sima Yue glanced at him and wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak.

"Alas!" Pan Tao sighed secretly.

Now, everything can be put down.

The king of the East Sea has come to the end of his life, and he has a few days to live.

Pan Tao came to the bed, held Sima Yue's thin hand, and said softly, "Situ Ke still has an unfulfilled wish?" ”

Two tears fell from the corners of Sima Yue's eyes.

He had too many unfulfilled wishes, too many.

He remembered the time when he was a young man and served and lectured in the East Palace.

That period of life seems to be full of sunshine in his memory.

He thought of the birds and flowers in Hualin Garden, he remembered the splendor of the Taiji Palace, and he remembered the pillars of gentlemen who would emerge in an endless stream.

That's innocent blue.

The sun was so bright.

The Great Jin of that meeting is really in full swing.

"Situ, but you can't rest assured about the military situation?" The chief bookkeeper Guo Xiang asked softly.

Sima Yue's eyes stared at the roof, and there was no movement.

Guo Xiang and Zuo Sima Pei Miao glanced at each other, worried.

Actually, there's not much to talk about.

Shi Chao went to Chen Liu, broke several walls, looted grain, grass, and goods, enlisted in the army, and killed thousands of old and weak women and children.

Shile's troops were in Puyang, and they swept this county that was almost white, and no one could control it.

Sima Yue didn't seem to hear Guo Xiang's words, and looked at the roof, immersed in a sad and helpless mood.

He remembered the frightening steps he had taken after participating in the government.

The situation in Luoyang is changing, you sing and I will appear.

In that life, highlights and obscurity were intertwined, regret and joy coexisted.

Zhao Wanglun, Qi Wangyin, Changsha Wangyi, etc., floated in front of him one by one.

Sima Yue's eyes widened vigorously, as if he wanted to see the expressions of these people.

Some of them were indifferent, some were surprised, some sneered, and some of them had a sighing expression, as if they were regretting how the government fell into the hands of him Sima Yue.

I'm better than you!

A wave of anger surged in his heart, and he was faintly unwilling.

The face of Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, became clearer.

He stood not far away, looking at him with pity.

Sima Yue's anger dissipated abruptly.

He closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at Sima Yi.

Shidu, I'm not sorry for you, I'm also for the great Jin.

If you continue to fight, the world will fall apart.

Sima Yi's eyes looked at him even more pitiful, and after a long sigh, he dissipated into nothingness.

Sima Yue slowly opened his eyes again.

Do you feel guilty? Maybe there is.

One can deceive others, but one cannot deceive oneself. When you are about to die, you can recall the past of your life, and your brain is exceptionally clear.

What is the guilt? The foundation of Sima's ancestors? Or the common people?

Maybe it's both.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and someone walked in.

King Zhonglang looked at Sima Yue's appearance from a distance, and tears flowed down his eyes.

"Situ!" He cried.

Sima Fan, the king of Xiangyang, got up and glared at him, signaling him to be quiet.

Wang suppressed his sorrow, sat down silently, and looked directly at Sima Yue.

Sima Yue didn't seem to notice his arrival, still immersed in his own world.

After Sima Yi left, He Sui, Gao Tangchong, Wang Yan, Gao Guang and others pounced.

Their faces were full of anger and they reprimanded loudly, thinking that it was he Sima Yue who had ruined the government and caused chaos in the world, disgraced the scholars, and made the people worse than dead.

Sima Yue defended weakly, but the other party's voice grew louder and louder, almost bursting his eardrums until the appearance of the first emperor.

The first emperor grabbed the cake in his hand and said with a smile that he had forgiven him.

Sima Yue shed two more tears.

The first emperor continued to comfort, saying that many people had harmed him, insulted him, and coerced him, and he didn't care anymore.

He has lived a messy life in his life, made many stupid tricks, made many jokes, and now the only thing he cares about is this world.

He hoped that no more people would be sunk into the river, no more scholars would be killed, no more disasters would be made at two ends in three days, and no more fighting and killing......

After the first emperor finished eating the cake, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand to Sima Yue, and turned into a piece of starlight.

Sima Yue subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but he couldn't give up. He felt his life dissipate quickly, and he was in his final moments.

Sima Teng, Sima Yu, and Sima Luo were the last to appear.

They looked at Sima Yue and sighed.

One regrets being too stingy in Yecheng, one laments the violent death in the prime of life, and the other laments the impermanence of life.

All in all, they ended early, there was nothing they could do to help him anymore.

After the three of them dissipated, three more figures appeared in Sima Yue's mind: Sima Chi, Shao Xun, and Gou Xi.

Sima Chi sneered again and again, and said, You also have today, look at how I uproot your power.

Gou Xi was dismissive, as if he was laughing at him for breaking his word and fattening himself and messing up the good situation.

Shao Xun held the sword and looked at him calmly, as if to say that I don't owe you anything.

Seeing Shao Xun's expression, Sima Yue was a little anxious.

"Situ! Situ! A soft call rang in his ears.

Sima Yue returned to reality, rolled his eyes, and found that it was Liu Qia, He Lun, Wang Bing and others.

Everyone came to see me off for the last time.

"Situ, we have just discussed, and I am willing to return to Xuzhou with Situ." Liu Qia wiped his tears and said softly.

"Situ, let's go back to the East China Sea." He Lun couldn't cry and said, "We came out together, and now we go back together." I, Ho Lun, swear to the heavens, I am willing to serve the Son of the world as the Lord, and if I violate this oath, the sky will thunder. ”

The Son? Sima Yue didn't know where to get his strength, and after two sounds, he said, "Go find Shao Xun, count me in—beg him." ”

"I'll go!" Wang Bing took a step forward and said, "I'll go and ask him to send someone to escort the prince back to the East China Sea." ”

"And-" Sima Yue said again: "I-can't take the Huns, let him fight well." ”

Wang Bing nodded heavily.

As if he had exhausted his last strength, Sima Yue closed his eyes slightly, and his face became more and more gray.

Everyone sat silently, waiting for the curtain to fall.

On the night of the 14th, Situ of the Great Jin Dynasty and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, died of illness in Fan County.
