Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Kings

Sima Lun wanted to usurp the throne, and the most fierce opposition was of course the brothers of the emperor. When King Sima Wei of Chu and King Sima Yun of Huainan were both there, together with King Sima Jian of Qin, they guarded Guanzhong, Jingxiang and Huainan respectively, and surrounded the capital from three aspects. Is it just a shock to the gentry? The shocking forces also include distant relatives in the royal family.

But ten years later, King Chu and King Huainan died one after another, and only King Qin Sima Jian was left. Even Sima Ying still needed some operation to respond to King Qin. Most of the army in several important towns were in the hands of the royal family. Sima Ying was really sure what they thought, and only King Yan's actions were easier to guess.

Sima Lun's usurpation of the throne did not cause much harm to his distant relatives of the royal family, not to mention the governors and generals from all over the country, they were just ordered to act.

Panni was stunned for a while, sighed, "It would be great if Liangzhou did not exist. Your Highness would not be so hesitant."

"Well!" Sima Ying agreed deeply. After unifying the world, because the area of ​​Yizhou was too huge and it was a suitable place for separatism, Sima Yan divided Yizhou into three, and the south was Ningzhou, and the northeast was the place where the plank road was guarded by the northeast became Liangzhou. Sima Yan's move was also to eradicate the hidden dangers of separatism in Yizhou.

But now I feel that Emperor Wu is not someone else’s talent and strategy. The love that his father made was full of greeting Sima Ying. Even if Sima Ying wanted to go north, she was still struck by the Liangzhou governor Luo Shang in the middle.

"Go back to Shu first and summon a group of generals to discuss matters." Just when Panni felt that he might give up, Sima Ying finally made up her mind and decided to try it no matter what. I wish his brother, King Qin, could help him.

Panni was happy and said loudly, "Penni is willing to follow His Highness in front of his horse and support the country."

"Prepare the horse!" Sima Ying couldn't help but feel ready. The news of Sima Jian's victory in front inspired him. He decided to return to Shuzhong first to settle the internal situation of Yizhou, and gather a large army to go north to wish Sima Jian a hand.

While Sima Ying returned to Yizhou, the news of Sima Jian's advance eastward spread all over the world. In Yecheng City, Sima Yong, the King of Hejian, who was sitting in the palace, held the imperial edict of Luoyang to confer his generals to the Northern Expedition. He listened to the report that King Sima Jian of Qin swept across the three counties and was attacking Hangu Pass.

While listening to Sima Yong, he couldn't help but look at the content of the imperial edict urging him to the Northern Expedition. Sima Lun enthroned him, Sima Yong as the general of the Northern Expedition. What an obvious direction? Who else is in the north? Isn't it Sima Ji in Jicheng?

Sima Ji was the general of Zhenbei. Now Sima Lun has conferred him as the general of the Northern Expedition, and has defeated the general of Zhenbei in the north, hoping to take over Sima Ji and break the possibility of the Qin-Yan alliance. Luoyang is focused on dealing with Sima Jian in the west.

After all, two princes were in rebellion. The King of Qin was the younger brother of today. He had been strong in guarding Chang'an for many years. Although King Sima Ji of Yan did not have much military force, he beaten the surrounding small countries from east to west, from south to north. Sima Lun was still worried that the two would form a joint force.

If it weren't for the news that Sima Cambodia had besieged Hangu Pass now, Sima Yong would have almost sent the vanguard troops to set off. But since the war between Sima Lun and Sima Cambodia over there was anxious and he didn't know who won and who would lose, he wouldn't be too anxious.

Sima Lun wanted him, the King of Hejian, to block the King of Yan and buy him time. Sima Yong took a greater risk in this matter than Sima Lun. Since the King of Qin took the initiative first, Sima Yong and Sima Lun's situation were just changed. He could sit in Yecheng and watch the success or failure. Once Sima Lun showed signs of being unable to support him, he could march westward and cooperate with the King of Qin to serve the king.

"Call Zhang Fang back, and now we will train the army to keep the troops still." Sima Yong threw the imperial edict of the General of the Northern Expedition to aside and ordered Zhang Fang's troops who were about to set off.

Then he got up and found a letter to the governor of Bingzhou and the leader of the Xiongnu Liu Yuan burned it out. This kind of letter can be written when needed. As for why you need to contact Liu Yuan, isn’t it very simple? The King of Yan won the four Xianbei tribes first, and the King of Yan was the first day of the lunar month, and the King of Hejian could not be the fifteenth?

After doing everything, Sima Yong wrote back to Sima Lun, saying that he was training the army to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and believed that he would be ready soon, and he would attack Jicheng and capture Sima Lun alive and stabilize Luoyang's Sima Lun.

Sima Yong did not look like Sima Ying. He believed that Sima Lun would definitely be defeated by Sima Jian. Of course, he would not make a decision so quickly after he had been out of town for many years. It depends on whether Sima Jian could capture Hangu Pass. So it was not like Sima Ying sent troops to the leader of the gang. Sima Yong's choice was to place bets on both ends, and he still told Sima Lun in his heart that he would stand on his side.

As hesitated as Sima Yong, the King of Fanyang, was also Xuchang. He received the news one day earlier than Hejian King Sima Yong. Recently, Sima Yong kept writing letters to Hejian King Sima Yong and Yan King Sima Ji, who persuaded Sima Ji to surrender to Luoyang. Recently, he had just received a reply from the Sima family, saying that he would never use Fan Wang as a shield and must ensure that Fan Yang Kingdom is not affected by the war. Don’t worry, Uncle Wang. But if the army of Hejian King caused the lives of Fan Yang Kingdom to be devastated, it was not your business.

The Qin King Sima Ji of Qingzhou also received the news earlier than Sima Ji. Sima Ji had no army in his hands, so he could only make friends with powerful people. Fortunately, Qingzhou had his vassal state and had been exploring potential from his vassal state recently. Like the King of Hejian, he also looked respectful to Sima Lun on the surface, indicating that he was stepping up his recruitment and then he would fight with the King of Hejian to eliminate the disrespectful King of Yan.

After receiving the news that Sima Jian had begun to make a big splash, Sima Jiong was actually relieved, because Sima Lun wanted to kill more than Sima Yun, and he just avoided the butcher knife in a very lingering manner.

Now Sima Jiong has made up his mind. Once he has accumulated enough strength, he will immediately raise an army to respond to Sima Jian and attack Luoyang and kill Sima Lun.

"Shi Chao, I ordered you to be the vanguard. Once the King of Hejian leads his army across the Yellow River, let them in. I will wipe out the army of Hejian's King of Yecheng north of the Yellow River, and let him disappear at one time." Sima Ji in the military tent also gave instructions to his subordinates, and then took the secret letter submitted and opened it, as if he had seen a natural wonder, blurted out, "The King of Qin is so powerful?"
