Chapter 426: King Qin wants to make waves
Yang Yu almost fell to his chin and thought to himself, King Yan, could you not do this? I am old and can't stand this kind of scare. Yang Yu's heartbeat is not good. Look at Sima Lun, who is also old, who is determined to be thousands of miles away.
It was successful so simply, which made Yang Yu feel a sense of illusion. He thought he had to go through discussion and bargaining.
The current situation is actually not good for both Qin and Yan. Some royal families have submitted memorials to persuade King Zhao to ascend the throne. Although this is just the beginning, it is a bad omen, indicating that most royal families are not disgusted with King Zhao ascending the throne.
Speaking out the worries in his heart, Sima Ji laughed and said, "The general has been away from the center for ten years. It seems that many things have been forgotten. The royal family who took the lead in submitting memorials should be in the capital. This matter must be seen what the royal family in the town will think. Besides, I know the ideas of the royal family better than this. After all, I am from this family. Today they can take the lead in submitting memorials and persuading them. Tomorrow, when they step on the backhand, they will work harder. The so-called royal family vassal kings have already been persuaded to enter, which does not mean anything."
Everyone is responsible for themselves and will only be responsible for themselves. Similar to the high-ranking and powerful vassal kings, the choices they make will only benefit themselves. As for loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, it cannot be said that such vassal kings do not exist, but there are indeed not many.
Things like going back on your word are not just a problem with the Jin Dynasty. From the beginning of the Jin Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, reading history books was full of examples, and there were many stumbles between them. Not to mention selling a vassal king, it was not uncommon to sell an emperor.
Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was the Southern Dynasty for 48 years. When Hou Jing was in rebellion in his later years, he was not the royal family he supported to buy a clean one? This is certainly because Xiao Yan treated the gentry well and caused the gentry to cover the sky with one hand. Hou Jing, who went south, saw the gap in his rule, and he could gather 100,000 troops by opposing the gentry in a moment.
However, when Hou Jing was in chaos, all the royal families in Nanliang held great power, which was also the best way to deal with the gentry. They used the royal family and vassal kings to lead troops to shock the gentry. However, when Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was trapped, all the royal families in Nanliang were surrounded by troops and watched. It was not until Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was trapped to death that they began to send troops to attack Hou Jing.
Compared with the Southern Liang royal family, the Jin Dynasty royal family can find one or two vassal kings who eliminated the treacherous and slandered kings. I really don’t know if the royal family who treated him well before the death of Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, would be wondering why he didn’t come to save him?
After Hou Jing, the Southern Dynasty, which had been able to maintain the Northern Dynasty before, was completely unable to fight against the Northern Dynasty. After that, the last Chen State of the Southern Dynasty, almost surrendered to the Northern Dynasty since its establishment.
These royal families who submitted memorials will definitely stand on Sima Lun's side? Sima Ji didn't believe it, but if Sima Jian and himself were defeated, I believe many people would rush up to take advantage of the situation.
"The general can tell the King of Qin that I will naturally help, but the situation in Youzhou may take some time to adjust now. This is not perfunctory. Youzhou Pingzhou has only more than 30,000 troops, and the rest are temporary recruits. They need time to have the power to fight. Within one or two months, I can only hold Youzhou Wuyu. As for the attack south, it will take some time to prepare, so I hope that the King of Qin can protect himself as much as I am, and wait until my king is ready. I will go south, and the King of Qin advances eastward, and seizes Luoyang, and cuts Sima Lun into pieces."
Sima Ji was completely honest. Even if he claimed to be one-on-one, he would have a prerequisite. If someone came to attack Youzhou, he would lead more than 30,000 Youping's army, plus his 5,000 capitulation army, and 10,000 Jin Guards completely guaranteed that Youzhou was safe and that it would be impossible to defend the enemy outside the country.
But he had to command the army to leave Youzhou and go south to compete for the Central Plains. He could double the army in one month. Why was he so unthinkable? He had to lead an army of 40,000 to 50,000 to fight against enemies with two or three times the number of people?
Offense and defense are different. Are several important cities so easy to play? They have to attack the city with few people? Are you crazy?
"Uncle, what my husband said is true. Youzhou is safe and safe now, but it will take some time to go south." Yang Xin saw Yang Xu's slightly unwilling look, and persuaded him, "Jicheng is not an important city. His husband only has 30,000 veterans. Whether it is Hejian or Fanyang, the two kings have an army of more than 100,000."
"At most two months, I can gather more than 100,000 troops to help the Qin King to defeat the world." Sima Ji said slowly, "With the danger of Guanzhong's geographical advantage, the Qin King will never have any trouble within two months."
"Well, okay!" Yang Yu nodded in approval and sighed, "The King of Yan has been fighting in the east and west for many years, and what he said is not false. But the King of Qin and King of Yan have all acted like a land and boundary. Will other vassal kings think that you two have no confidence in winning and stand on Sima Lun's side? If this is the case, things will be bad."
"A weapon is a weapon, so there is nothing to be sure of." Sima Ji Saran smiled, "I believe the King of Qin would not feel that he would let Sima Luna bow his head without bloodshed?"
This is already very clear. Anyway, I have to meet on the battlefield. Do you care about other vassal kings who think they are cowardly? Sima Ji will not care about the thoughts of others and will go to war with the United States. Who is worried about whether the Japanese or sticks standing beside the American Empire is a group of waste.
Yang Yu had touched Sima Ji and stopped staying in Jicheng. He wanted to go back to Chang'an on a night and inform Sima Ji about Sima Ji's thoughts, so that Sima Jian could face the upcoming heavy pressure in Luoyang.
"Even Yang Yan, who had lived in seclusion for ten years, has come out, and the Yang family of Hongnong is still lonely. Thinking about this, Hongnong Yang family was killed by Jia, wouldn't it be unfair to do it?" Sima Ji touched Yang Xin's plain hands, as white as before. In addition to feeling that Yang Xin has temperament, these beautiful hands also have a great contribution.
"Husband, I am also from the Yang family of Hongnong." Yang Xin said without hesitation, "I also gave birth to a male heir for you."
"When I said that, there is one more thing for my husband. If I lose my husband, of course this is absolutely impossible. You should protect yourself first and find a safe place with Ji'er." Sima Ji breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "I have imposed a heavy tax on my husband and bullied the people for so many years, and I have countless gold, silver and treasures. All kinds of beauties can't remember it. Death in the battlefield is enough. The only thing I worry about is that you women and children. War is too terrible. You should stay away."
"At that time, I will naturally send Ji'er to a safe place. Even if my husband fails to block the enemy from Youzhou, the three-story walls of Jicheng will be enough to last for more than a year. My husband and Jicheng are willing to live and die with my husband." Yang Xin grabbed Sima Ji's hand and promised, "Even if you kill a thousand miles apart, it will never be cheaper for others."
"Well said, I like you for my husband. It's not as cruel as a man." Sima Ji praised, pinching the femme fatale's face, "Is this you? The Yang Xin that Sima Ji admires the most."
The days of staying in girls' dormitory have ended now. Sima Ji left Ji City and began to appear in the military camp. Almost at the same time, ten thousand Jin Guards entered the inner city of Ji City, and the breastplate was continuously lifted out of the Yan Palace, allowing the Jin Guards who entered the inner city to put on it. The ordnance stored in the arsenal was also sent out one by one. The top of Ji City, the bed crossbows, and the catapults were installed, and you could see the eye-catching large ordnances at a distance.
"It's so nice to see it, otherwise, if I go to the battlefield, I would think that I am poor and lead a group of beggars to the battlefield. Before the war begins, the enemy will be very motivated." Sima Ji looked at the short hair of the virgins, all of whom were all colored, and he was very proud to order Zhang Dalishan beside him, "The war horses transported from the Pingzhou Horse Farm, one person with two horses, and ten thousand war horses left. Together with the war horses obtained from the four Xianbei people, the Jurchens must be made one person and one horse. If this king expected it was good, the one who came should be the army of the King of Hejian. He has recently and is quite ambiguous about King Zhao's current actions."
"Your Highness thinks it is the King of Hejian who is leading the army?" Zhang Da nodded and asked, "There are 150,000 cavalry in Yecheng, which is a big battle."
"It's best for him to come, it's better than hudding in Yecheng and letting me hit the wall." Sima Ji seemed very happy with this idea. Cao Wei had been in Yecheng for many years, and how many people would die if he captured Yecheng. Besides, the Jurchens could not attack the city at all, and they had never seen it before. It turned into a siege battle. Are you not the Youzhou infantry going up to fill the pit?
"Report to His Highness, the wife of Yan, and she will transfer an imperial edict from the royal palace to submit it to His Highness." Liang Cheng rode a horse to the camp and presented the imperial edict sent by Yang Xin.
Sima Ji opened it and glanced at it, but he was just to bear the consequences of not coming to the capital. The princes in the world wanted to throw it away with their grin, as if he had thought of something and put it in his arms, what if he could use it in some place.
This verbal threat has long been unhelpful to Sima Ji. However, considering the distance, King Sima Jian of Qin should have received the imperial edict before himself. It was not only that he and Sima Jian of the two vassal kings received the imperial edict. After all, Youzhou is too far away from Luoyang. In fact, almost all the vassal kings who left the town received the imperial edict. Among them, the King of Hejian of Yecheng had received the imperial edict urging troops to send troops.
The King of Qin, who he was thinking about, was also stepping up preparations. Yang Yu returned to Chang'an despite his age and said that he would tell Sima Ji's idea, and he would stabilize himself before making plans.
Sima Jian took out several imperial edicts, "These are imperial edicts that I intercepted to other royal families and governors. Time waited for no one. Guanzhong was not Youzhou. It would be best to be able to raid Luoyang. If it really doesn't work, it's better to defend Tongguan."
