Chapter 177: Sneak back to Youzhou

"Okay, follow me north." Sima Ji showed a gratified smile on his face, but there was a bit of heaviness in it. Liu Hui was still a little older, and I don't know how many years he could have to spread his knowledge.

But no matter what, this is a good start. After calculating the time I came out of Luoyang, I also sneaked back to Youzhou.

Yanshan is a very important area for the entire Guandong. Yanshan can ensure the safety of the entire Guandong with his hands. Because the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun no longer have any hand, there has always been a passive situation. Of course, the important reason is that it is not good enough, and no one can do anything about it.

In the hot summer, Yanshan is also a good place to escape the summer heat. The sunlight shone secretly under the shade of trees, and the sound of silkworms can be heard in my ears. A huge carriage was driving in the mountain road and finally stopped in front of a manor. His jade feet moved lightly, and his beautiful eyes looked around with curious eyes, but he was not surprised by the soldiers around him.

"Madam, Your Highness is waiting inside!" The leading guard recognized the person and signaled the others to put away the knife. He lowered his head slightly and made a gesture of inviting him.

Yang Xin followed the guards to enter the manor with a special cave inside. All the buildings are arranged around the mountains and rivers. It is hard to imagine that there is such a place in Yanshan.

He walked one after another and walked in gently. In a huge palace by the river, Yang Xin saw Sima Ji who was soaking in a hot spring. After approaching, she turned her head slightly and said, "It's a good place to hide the beauty of the golden house. I think in my spare time, many beautiful maids will accompany you, and the fairy-like life is nothing more than that."

"How could I smell a sour smell? Do the ladies of a great family talk to their men like this?" Sima Ji said lazily, "Do you think there is only one such place to live? The so-called cunning rabbit has three holes. I like to collect labor so much, how could I not build some place to live for myself?"

While speaking, Sima Ji directly stretched out his hand out of the pool and signaled whether to come in and soak, "It's very good for the body. It's not a bad thing for women to take a hot spring bath. I finally found it. Sometimes it's my second home."

King Yan spoke seriously, as if it was really like this, but who is Yang Xin? How could he not see that the King Yan, who is supported by the people of all the 22 counties in the pond, was just asking himself to go down to take a bath with him, so he refused directly, "Is it easy for me to be cheated? If I go down, I will take advantage of you."

Alas! This is the disadvantage of free love. Yang Xin has long been taken down by herself for a feudal arranged marriage. It seems that she is completely familiar with her now and even rejects the invitation of a prince. It is simply outrageous.

"All things have been done? I am not in the mansion recently. Have you experienced the feeling of a group of powerful people? How do the wives of the former kings in the mansion think of you?" The king of Yan didn't bother him anymore, so he talked about other things.

Yang Xin found a chair to sit with her legs together and leaned to one side. She was sitting very ladylike, so she began to tell in detail about the recent events, "I have sent someone to the Yanshan Camp that you found. The guards of Lishan will select smart people and follow him to learn how to calculate. You don't have to worry about this. I also read the news from Luoyang every day, but I don't understand military affairs and can't speculate on how far the war has progressed. I can only pay attention to the letter to the king at any time."

After saying that, Yang Xin handed over the letter she carried with her, her eyes wandering and looking at Sima Ji in the pool.

"How is Qiaoxi's health? Are you doing well recently?" Sima Ji took the letter and looked at it with a look of ten lines. Then he turned his eyelids and suddenly asked Yang Xin, "You have nothing you want to say?"

"You can decide on the matter of the king!" As soon as she heard Sima Ji's words, Yang Xin's face became a little sharp, but she immediately returned to the same state. The depression in her chest still did not dissipate for a long time. She felt that this man was a bit too much. She knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, but she still had to ask aggressively, do you have to see her pretending to be generous?

"You are feeling unhappy. You are stalemate with me. I guess there will be some time when you are in a state of depression in the future. There are so many maids in the palace. As long as I take a look at it, a child will be born at any time." Sima Jibuxian spoke indifferently, and then he lost his voice, just watching the serial.

There is a very interesting trend in the Battle of Hetao, that is, the casualties caused by the war are getting smaller and smaller, and the Qiang and Hu seem to be less and less fighting. After several wars, the Qiang and Hu only had fierce resistance in the first two wars, and they also suffered heavy losses. Later, the losses of both sides became lighter and lighter. In addition to the few cities north of the Yellow River, the Hetao south of the Yellow River has almost been taken down.

However, the value of the entire Hetao is really the most important of those cities, accounting for 90% of the places, but as long as those cities are not taken down, the effect will be the same as none.

"Luoyang has sent King Liang Sima Tong to recruit pacification? If the remaining tribes in Hetao are willing to surrender and offer Shuofang and Wuyuan several cities, will they allow the other party to surrender?" Sima Ji saw the last letter, which was the latest move in Luoyang's battle against Hetao, to recruit pacification?

Whether this is not good or bad can be considered a moderate strategy. The city that has been said is definitely not reliable, which is certain. However, the Jin army won one after another, and had already won the battle of the Hetao Qiang and Hu in a field. So this is not simply negotiating for peace, but using war to force peace and taking the initiative in Luoyang.

Furthermore, some losses should be taken into account. Ninety-five percent of Hetao's land is south of the Yellow River, but the most important five percent is north of the Yellow River, and several extremely important military cities are also among them. Only with the Yinshan Mountains can it serve as a barrier to block the nomad's southward journey.

If we continue to fight, the Jin army would have to conquer the big city built to deal with the nomadic people. What an irony. How many artificial cities that resist the northern grasslands were built were abandoned. Today, we turned to the Jin army to conquer them. Even if these cities may be ruined after so many years, the foundation is still there. No one knows how much effort the Jin army that crossed the Yellow River would take to recover and how much damage it would cause.

Those cities are surrounded by Yinshan Mountain, and nearby are the areas with the richest water resources in the Yellow River Basin. Helan Mountain stands west of the Yellow River, Luya Mountain is barrier to the east of the Yellow River, and is adjacent to the northern Shaanxi Plateau in the south. It blocks the river by mountains, and the situation is dangerous. The Jin army wants to cross the river and fight back against the Yellow River, which is much more difficult than the wild counterattack.

Sima Ji sighed repeatedly, causing Yang Xin's beautiful eyes to flow, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Is the battle report not going well? Why do you sigh?"

"I just feel that the court should respect the bloody sacrifice of the soldiers and their achievements in fighting for the country. If all the eight counties of Hetao were abandoned at that time, would it be so embarrassing today?" Sima Ji seemed to sigh and said to Ming Zhi, "The land I captured must be occupied, otherwise I would rather not fight."

If you throw the land without saying a word, the King of Yan could find countless examples of cheating with his father at random. The Jin Dynasty was just one of them. The Song Dynasty was cheated by Shi Jingtang, but it was true that it was not successful. But there was no pit from the Ming Dynasty. As soon as Emperor Yongle died, he would directly become the emperor guarding the country's gates as soon as he contracted.

"Where is my seal? Have you brought it?" Sima Ji stretched out his hand again and asked Yang Xin to take out his seal of General Zhendong. At the same time, he asked, "What's going on in Pingzhou? Have you read the military newspaper with my seal?"

Without the seal left by Sima Ji, Yang Xin was not qualified to read the battle report, let alone help her stare at Pingzhou.

Yang Xin took out the seal from her arms, then looked at the other party and smelled it, and said with some shame, "He Long said that the Pingzhou army and the Goguryeo army had a conflict on the border, and dozens of people died on both sides. However, Captain He Long did not retaliate. I have asked the Youzhou purchasing department to spread the news in Goguryeo that the Jin Dynasty was fighting against the enemy in the direction of Hetao, and the war was fierce and would not use troops to Goguryeo!"

Sima Ji's eyes were wide open, and it was impossible to tell that Yang Xin had some talent for intelligence work! Using fake news to deceive people is actually not very effective. No one is stupid. Even if the beacon is stupid, Goguryeo court officials are not stupid, and they will definitely be on guard. However, if there is another real news to support it, it will be impossible.

Now the Jin Dynasty is really attacking Hetao, and it has indeed drawn up an army of 60,000 to 70,000. Two vassal kings are in charge, and they are known to be an army of 100,000 to the outside world. This is something that the whole world knows, and no one can say that he is fake.

Using real news is not a lie, that is evidence! Sima Ji calculated his days. It was already early August, and the army attacking Hetao was not fast, it was just as good as pretending to be dead in Linyi.

"Is there any news sent to me during this period? Recently, I'm planning here how to fight Goguryeo and not show up in public!" Sima Ji said and walked out of the pool naked. Yang Xin quickly turned her head and deceived herself without seeing it. She was just above the jade neck, and she was completely blushing.

"There is something I didn't lie to you. Women should really take a hot spring bath. It's very good for skin." Sima Ji put on his clothes in a few seconds and prepared to go out and said, "Don't worry, the nearby guards cannot come in, I'll go out to guard you."

Sima Ji's movements were straightforward and went out to close the door, leaving Yang Xin alone. After a while, the girl reached out to lift the temperature of the water, hesitated for a while, took off her coat, and slowly slid in.
