Chapter 286 Arrived in Luoyang

Zhanzhou already belongs to the Indochina Peninsula and is completely in the same geographical area as the Central Plains. Sima Ji doesn't believe that what kind of flood can spread such a large area and destroy the world flood? If it is estimated that it is good, Zhanzhou, Jiaozhou, will definitely not be affected by the weather. The route is to transport it into the mouth of the Huaihe River, go upstream to Luoyang, and then transport it to Guanzhong. This time it takes about two months, provided that you don't delay along the way.

So in theory, I can withstand it for two months. When the food in Zhanzhou of Jiaozhou arrives, the food and grass crisis of the Guanzhong army can be overcome. With sufficient supply of food and grass, there is no need to fight a tug-of-war of stops and stops.

The tug-of-war that fights and stops is often the most consuming way of war among the people. If the war continues all day long, the people will not be able to farm with peace of mind. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the consumption of the people.

Explaining the benefits and interests of Xu Meng, Sima Ji had to take out the map. At the end of this year, even if he was the governor of a state, he did not have much knowledge about the entire geographical environment. He had to look at the map and talk, and guide Xu Meng how much time it would take to take a boat and where it would be most convenient to dock. After all, this is the road he has taken in the southern expedition, so he still has a say in this.

"His highness has learned a lot of refutations, which makes Xu Meng admire." Xu Meng bowed his hand and showed a relief expression on his face. He has been intimate about food and grass these days, but he did not expect Sima Ji to solve it.

"You are polite to the governor. As a prince, how can you stand by and watch if you have any trouble in the world?" Sima Ji took a teacup and asked calmly, "I went out to hunt, but I don't know what the war in Guanzhong is going on. Can the governor talk about it in detail? Let me give you an idea."

"Xu Meng didn't know much, but the news that came may not be very optimistic." Xu Meng pondered for a moment and said, "The King of Qin has ordered the Guanzhong army to be assembled. The rebels are currently in Yongzhou and there is a possibility of invading Guanzhong at any time. However, due to insufficient food and grass, the Guanzhong army cannot take the initiative. Your Highness also knows the two years ago..."

"I know that there was a drought in Guanzhong the previous year, and there was not much grain reserve." Sima Ji nodded with a wry smile. He knew very well and went to buy and sell refugees in Guanzhong when he was in Luoyang. Will refugees appear in places without disasters? People are crazy about weather and rain.

Xu Meng nodded and continued to speak, "The Northern Prefect Zhang Lun died in battle, and the Fengyi Prefect Ouyang Jian was defeated. News came just a few days ago that the Di people and Qiang people in Qinzhou and Yongzhou areas rose up and responded, supporting Di Qi Wannian as the emperor. The Yongzhou army was defeated and could only defend itself according to the city. Guanzhong is still stable at present."

"The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan will be stable, so there will be no major problems. But you must be careful. Once the Guanzhong rebels break in, things will be difficult to handle." Sima Ji thought for a moment, stood up anxiously and walked back and forth, as if thinking about how to help.

"The Shu Road must be heavily guarded. If the rebels break into Guanzhong, it will definitely cause refugees. Once the refugees in Guanzhong rise everywhere, there will be only one way to go south, that is Shuzhong, so the Shu Road must be cut off." Sima Ji thought for a while and ordered Xu Meng to say, "This is definitely a foresight. The governor can explain the interests of the court in his memorial."

Sima Ji's tone was decisive. He remembered that the Li Te brothers who later ruled Shu were because the rebels of Qi Wannian and the Jin army escaped the war in Guanzhong.

The Jin Dynasty has always ignored the Hu people in other directions, but it is very wary of the Hu people in Yongqin. It is not unreasonable. The Xiongnu in Bingzhou was beaten several times and now they are very honest. The Qi Wannian rebellion was the fuse of many things later.

"In this way, I will personally escort the food and grass to Beijing to see what's going on." Sima Ji slapped the table. At a glance, you can tell that the zombies in the court must have not taken this rebellion seriously. According to previous precedents, maybe I would send another wave first. Only when the rebels were raised would mobilize the army to deal with it.

"If Your Highness can be self-conscious, I believe it would be great." Xu Meng quickly agreed when he heard this. Sima Ji today can be said to have given him a certain impact on his performance, and he knew the general and the strategy without any usual appearance.

"I am not as effective as Luoyang Imperial Guards." Sima Ji shook his neck and said impatiently, "I just came back from the border and wanted to relax, but I rushed to the road again. It would be great if I could fly. The inner history, chief clerk, record, and the court magistrate, load 60,000 stones into the ship within seven days. I will personally escort the food and grass."

"Receive the order!" Feng Ji, Tong Jiang, Yan Yan and others bowed together, and turned around without stopping for a moment.

Once the King of Yan set a time order to do something, it means that he will not give others the opportunity to object. Working overtime is a normal operation. In less than an hour, the horses of the captive state have already rushed out of Jicheng and issued orders to the officials of each county, mobilizing personnel to transport the grass to the beach, waiting to be loaded.

In Chang'an, Guanzhong, King Sima Jian of Qin looked outside the palace intently and pondered alone. Since receiving the news of the rebellion in Guanxi, Sima Jian has been thinking about how to quell the rebellion, and at the same time, he is also thinking about the intentions in Luoyang. Although it is not a younger brother, King Sima Wei of Chu has long known that Queen Jia Nanfeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If we get along in a different place, Sima Jian believes that this rebellion will be an excellent opportunity to weaken his own chance. But he does not have many ways. If it is safe and sound, Sima Jian will naturally have reason to disobey him. But now that the rebellion has occurred, there is no reason to refuse Luoyang's allocation.

Unless he could quickly destroy Qi Wannian's army, but the disaster in Guanzhong had just passed, and the shortage of food and supplies was like a spell on his head. All kinds of unfavorable factors appeared at the same time, which made him anxious but there were not many ways.

In Luoyang Palace, Zhang Hua thought, "I recommend the Minister of the Huangmen of the Central Secretariat to be a general. This person has read classics and history and is well aware of military tactics. He has talked with me many times, even if he discusses the world as a treasure. If he is the governor of Yongzhou, he will definitely be able to suppress the Hu thieves. However, as the general of the Western Expedition and the commander of the military affairs of Qin and Yongzhou, King Zhao may not allow anyone to lead the army with him."

"The old minister thinks that it is possible to let King Liang Sima Tong take charge and lead 20,000 imperial guards to advance westward. In this way, King Liang and King Zhao are with each other, and the same identity is true, I believe there will be no problem." Wang Rong stepped forward and suggested, "I believe that you will be able to win triumph soon."
