Chapter 290 Qin Yan's Love

Asked the soldiers to send away the envoy of King Sima Jian of Qin, Sima Ji called Meng Guan to instruct, "The most urgent task now is to make Guanzhong stable, and you can divide the troops and clear the small and chaotic troops in Guanzhong early tomorrow morning. However, before our army goes north, all the teams sent will be taken back. I never divide the troops during the war."

The terrain of the 800-mile Qinchuan is dangerous, Tongguan, Dasanguan, Wuguan, and Xiaoguan. The four important passes protect Guanzhong in four directions, east, west, south, and north. The four passes are not safe. The chaos in Guanzhong now does not affect the overall situation. As long as Guanzhong is not chaotic, Shuzhong will not be affected. According to later generations, this is the domino effect.

Before heading north to Xiaoguan, Guanzhong must be stable, otherwise it will be unstable, and the Central Imperial Guard will be restrained when fighting.

"Your Highness, I don't know how the King of Qin views our imperial guards. Will there be any accidents in your entry into the city?" Meng Guan said that he was all those who made great contributions to the Jia Nanfeng coup. Naturally, he understood the reason why King of Qin Sima Jian stayed in Chang'an. The relationship between Chang'an and Luoyang was relatively delicate. At this time, he spoke out to remind Sima Ji to be careful.

"If you think too much, there is a grudge in your heart, but the King of Qin will not let you do good things, and those who are relatives will feel good, and those who are relatives will feel happy." Sima Ji smiled gently and patted Meng Guan's shoulder, and said solemnly, "I am very optimistic about you. This battle may be the opportunity for the general to become a success. Don't let this king and the emperor's sister-in-law down. The most important thing is not to let Your Majesty down."

No matter what the problem with Emperor Sima Zhong himself, the world is still the emperor. The real emperor is sitting there, and no one can rebel for any reason. This is especially true for the kings of the Sima family. Sima Jian is not a person with a hot mind like Qi Wannian. He has a good life, but he should not rebel on his belt. People who think so must have drunk a lot.

Sima Jian's guard was that he was afraid that the Luoyang Imperial Army would stay there after entering Guanzhong. If Sima Ji put himself in his shoes, he would not be unable to understand this difficulty. If there was a Luoyang Imperial Army standing there every day outside Jicheng, he would definitely not feel good.

"I will choose some personal guards to escort His Highness into the city. I don't know how much His Highness needs." Meng Guan couldn't do so as open-minded as Sima Ji. He wanted to make a contribution if he sacrificed his life. If the coach did something under his nose, he wouldn't have time to cry.

"Your army is your private army? Just find a hundred people." Sima Ji sighed secretly. It was not the first time he had encountered such a thing. These subordinates had their own difficulties. When they were fighting in Linyi, the army was afraid that something would happen to him. They came to the battle formation in person. This was limited to the subordinates who tied up the thief's head and handed it to the King of Yan to chop off their heads.

The purpose of showing kindness to the vassal kings in Guanzhong was to resolve Sima Jian's grudges. Sima Ji did not talk about national justice or peace in the world. Such words were useless against the powerful Qin King, Sima Jian, the general of the Dingjun. Only when talking about power and status was more useful, Sima Jian would be concerned.

In the towering Chang'an City, Sima Ji looked at the heart of ancient China from afar as he walked. If the heart of China in the next thousand years was Beijing, then the heart of China in the previous thousand years was wandering among Chang'an and Luoyang. Sima Ji also had an obsession with the city of Chang'an, but it was not until now that he saw it with his own eyes.

Chang'an in the Jin Dynasty was inhabited by about 200,000 people. Although it was not comparable to Luoyang, which had a population of nearly 500,000, it was still the world's largest city. Even in the entire Eurasian continent, only the capitals of a few empires could be compared.

Officials at all levels outside Chang'an City were waiting, giving the King of Yan sufficient courtesy, surrounded Sima Ji and entered the city. On the surface, they still attached great importance to the King of Yan coming, but of course they might not pay attention to the 40,000 Luoyang Imperial Guards behind him.

There is no need to mention a banquet after entering the city. The dancer twisted, everyone chatted and laughed, and exchanged cups. He was in a state of debauchery. The palace was not affected by Qi Wannian's eyeing outside Guanzhong. After some observation, Sima Ji believed that they might not really take Qi Wannian's rebels seriously, and they might be more worried about the Luoyang Imperial Army he brought.

After drinking for three rounds of dishes and five flavors, that is the time to really talk about things. Sima Ji also kept his patience and waited for the local snake in Guanzhong to talk to him specifically, so naturally he did not have the awareness of being in the Hongmen Banquet, but his appetite was wide open. This scene fell into Sima Jian's eyes and he couldn't help but nod.

After the banquet, an internal official led Sima Ji into the inner palace. Sima Jian was already waiting inside. This was the time to face it. "I was named Qin. These 800 miles of Qinchuan have witnessed so many bloody storms in the past. The years of golden swords and iron horses, the late emperor handed over this place to me to guard. At this time, chaos and soldiers were everywhere. I am sorry for the late emperor." Paused and said, "What does the King of Yan think of the place in Guanzhong?"

"The land of the base is unparalleled in the world. The Qin King guarding here is enough to reflect the late emperor's attention to the Qin King. However, at this time, the rebellious soldiers were launched in Guanzhong, and the Qin King should wipe out the rebels as soon as possible and restore peace to the world." Sima Ji was silent when he said this, thinking and said, "Does the Qin King know that before Jing Ke assassinated Qin, the relationship between Yan and Qin?"

"Together to deal with the Three Jins is an ally. What does the King of Yan want to say?" Sima Jian glanced at Sima Ji and asked calmly, "Is he using the allusion of Jing Ke assassination of Qin to tell me what is he?"

"King Qin, Luoyang is still there. My country is located in the border. Do you still come here to seize your Guanzhong foundation? No matter what the King of Qin thinks, I want to show an attitude that after pacifying Qi for ten thousand years, I will return to the country. If there is a time, of course, the faster the better. If the Zhong army cooperates, I will achieve my goal earlier and leave earlier. Isn't it better if the Qin king is out of sight and is not upset?" Sima Ji spoke very bluntly, saying that he could see the grudges in Sima Jian's heart.

"The Guanzhong army is 100,000, and the food and grass will be carried out before the troops are moved. Now there are 40,000 Luoyang Imperial Army. The 140,000 troops will go on the expedition. The food and grass in Guanzhong cannot be afforded. If you hide in the mountains and rivers for thousands of years, it will take a long time to take the people of Guanzhong." Sima Jian looked at Sima Ji directly and asked, "What's the solution?"

"The Guanzhong army only needs to stabilize Guanzhong. Send 10,000 people to cooperate with me in the battle. Too many troops, Qi Wannian might really run away." Sima Ji thought for a while and smiled, "It depends on whether the King of Qin and King Yan can be close?"
