Two days later, General Meng Guan, stationed in Wancheng, swore a swearing battle and led his troops to rescue Fancheng. Sima Yao's army was a little later. Half a month later, he went south to Yangzhou, gathered with Yangzhou Governor Liu Zhun, and governor Chen Huai, together with Jiankang, and faced Zhang Chang's side troops who were walking downstream.

Throughout history, once there are too many refugees in a land that exceeds the population that this land should carry, it will cause locusts to eat up the local food stored and find the next habitat in the situation of bandits.

Only knowing how to rob and not produce is a common problem among most rebels, so Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have many, but they often raise their troops first but are not the final winners. They don’t know how to accumulate while fighting, and they often make wedding dresses for others.

Faced with the threat of the loss of half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River, Sima Yi raised 120,000 warrants and quickly mobilized several vassal armies that respected the authority of the capital to move south from Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou to extinguish the sudden rebellion.

This is not very friendly to Sima Yong. He has been asking Sima Yu to attack the capital recently, but he did not expect that the rebellion would fail. If Sima Ji saw this, it would be no surprise. He, a thief like Uncle Wang, is not as easy as Sima Ying to cheat, and it is not easy to kill people with a knife.

Sima Yong suddenly lost his potential knife. From the perspective of position, Xuchang is the most suitable place to attack the capital. If Sima Rong did not go south, he would be able to reach the capital in a few days. However, he did not expect that after so long, King Fan Yang turned around elegantly and left Sima Yong in Yecheng, which made the latter in a somewhat awkward situation.

So when Sima Ji saw that Sima Yong had heavy troops stationed on the southern line, he thought the other party could not help it, but he was too late to come. You should know that although the Luoyang Imperial Army could no longer be compared with the past, there were still 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers to fight. If Sima Yong went north and Sima Yi came to him behind his back, Sima Yong's current power would collapse.

Sima Yong really wanted to fight with Sima Ji. He was only in the danger of losing his chrysanthemums, so he calmed down and sent someone to contact Sima Ying in Chang'an. This mentality was the same as what Sima Ji and his generals said some time ago. It was necessary to ensure that the peaches were not picked by other vassal kings. If Yecheng and Jicheng fought to the death, and Sima Ying in Chang'an became the biggest winner in the end, what would they do to fight?

Now other vassal kings are heading south to quell the rebellion, and only Sima Ying is still waiting and watching in Chang'an. Sima Yong must keep Sima Ying from being idle, so he has time to face the pressure of Sima Ji, the Yan thief. If Sima Ying fights Sima Yi, he will have no worries.

The situation in the world is unpredictable, and the kings dominate one side. Today's enemies can also become tomorrow's friends, and their positions are constantly changing, but the relationship between Yecheng and Jicheng should not become friends.

Choosing Sima Ying, who has the strongest strength, is still Sima Yong's most preferred choice, and he sent lobbyists to Chang'an again to lobby.

"After separation for many years, my father missed King Yan very much. He always talked to the villain about the grand ceremony of the Southern Expedition with King Yan. The battle of Bingzhou shocked the world, but my father was not surprised by this and firmly believed that King Yan would not be defeated on the battlefield." Tang Lin, who was kneeling below, opened his mouth and showed the continuous trend of surging rivers, fully demonstrating in front of Sima Ji what it means to be better than the blue. A scholar should treat him with admiration for three days after his separation.

Sima Ji sat above like a statue, looking at this young man with a similar outline to Tang Chen. I have to say that since Tang Chen returned to the Imperial Army, he has not heard others flattering like this for a long time. Now he suddenly heard it as a miss, and even wanted to meet Tang Chen in Hetao.

"Your father is okay, it's been ten years since I thought about it." Sima Jibuxian spoke indifferently, and a look of nostalgia flashed across his face. "I also miss the days when fighting side by side. Although Tang Chen was a little sloppy, this was not a bad thing. Now the world is chaotic, and there are many dissatisfactions in the various vassal kings. General Tang Chen, oh no, now he is the Captain of Wuhuan, right? If you can protect the stability of one side, you will be worthy of the kindness of the people and the emperor under your rule."

"But my father was worried about the situation of the King of Yan. My father was a man who was grateful for his kindness. He once wanted to lead his army to help the King of Yan several times, but the governor of Yongzhou, King Xincai, was in charge, but he was still not arbitrary." Tang Linchang sighed, "As long as the King of Yan gives his order, we will go through fire and water."

"King Xincai, the brother of the King of Donghai?" Sima Ji raised his eyebrows, but his face remained unchanged. "Hetao is the front line of confrontation with the Xianbei. It is facing the Tuoba clan. I have a wife from the Tuoba clan. I am currently in my hometown. I believe that the pressure of the Wuhuan Captain will be greatly reduced in the future. I appreciate the gratitude of you father and son. Go back and tell Tang Chen that I will speak when needed, and it is far from being a critical one."

The Hetao where Tang Chen is located is so important. Sima Ji cannot draw Tang Chen's troops just because Tuoba may be on his side. If there is a slight mistake in Hetao, the most direct consequence is that our Jin Dynasty may have to guard the national gate again. If you want to throw away the Hetao place, you will either throw away all of them or occupy them all.

So at this stage, he cannot draw the border troops of Hetao just because he may defeat him. No one believes that Sima Ji's current military strength is smaller than when he was in Youzhou, because he has more Bingzhou Great Wall to defend, and the guards of Yanmen County also need people. If the situation in Bingzhou is not stable now, he would have recruited local troops from Bingzhou.

There is no place to fight now, that is, Sima Ying's rule is peaceful, but Sima Ji seems to be in a difficult situation. He is obviously the strongest, can this vassal king who is determined to be the crown prince to hold back? After all, he will be the most remote Pingzhou, Guang and Jiao in the south, and the three states are stable. The Western Regions are one, and there is Zhou Chu there. Yongzhou is still one, and Hetao is still stable.

Sima Wu, who was guarding Xuchang in the south, and Sima Yao, who was guarding Xuzhou, had sent troops south and fought in Jiangnan. Now basically half of the world is affected by war. As long as Sima Ying in Chang'an moves, it will be a melee in the whole world. The forces used by all parties exceeded one million. Sima Ji has always been very stubborn, but he is afraid that he will become a member of the loser.

"Your Highness, what my lord means is that once the King of Changsha has gained a foothold, your highness's wish to take charge of the court will be dashed. Now, as long as Yecheng and Chang'an join forces, they can control the entire world. Your Highness should not continue to be deceived by the King of Changsha. As long as the strength of the Luoyang Imperial Army is restored and the Emperor of Changsha is in hand, can you still respect Your Highness as you are now?"
