"Clang~Clang~Clang~~Clang~~~"

In Luoyang and Jin Dynasty ancestral temples, musicians knocked the chimes very melodiously. Sima Yan and his Sima family members had more than 200 people, with a solemn expression on the music to worship the spiritual positions of Sima Yi and others.

During the Battle of Daluze, the Jin army and Jizhou front army were wiped out. There was no obstacle in front of the enemy's Eastern Army. From Daluze to Renxian to Yecheng to Yellow River to Yanzhou, the road was smooth. The country could no longer provide a powerful force to stop them.

Now, the enemy is still making some adjustments north of the Yellow River to coordinate local relations. However, once this force goes south to cross the Yellow River, all the troops on the front line of Bingzhou will be plagiarized.

Therefore, the troops in Bingzhou have no meaning to be stationed there.

The main force of the enemy has come from the east and north. Therefore, Tongguan to the west has no meaning to be stationed.

Now, if you don’t want to surrender just now, the only thing that can be relied on in the country is Luoyang, the largest city in the world...

Sima Yan's problem is indecisiveness, but as Wang Yuanji's son, his IQ is still enough. Of course, he could see these issues clearly. Therefore, after the news from Lu Ze came, after brief discussions with Pei Xiu and others, he still made the decision to give up all the defense lines and defend the entire army to Luoyang.

Is this a dying struggle?

How could this happen? My great Jin Dynasty has only been established for less than ten years. Cao Wei has had a national destiny for more than 40 years, and the country that only experienced one emperor's country to the point of destruction. It seems that there was only a new dynasty before, right? But the new dynasty has a national destiny for fifteen years! A country that has been destroyed in less than ten years is afraid that it has not been there since ancient times, right?

I was in a state of uneasy and found that nearly two hundred royal families came to the court together: this was unimaginable in the past. In the past, only princes and princes were qualified to participate in the dynasty meeting. But now it is different. When the country is in danger, the ministers are no longer reliable - most of them were ministers of Cao Wei, and a very small number were ministers of Liu Xie. If Jin State perished, it would be no problem for them to change to another emperor.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the great retreat in Hebei a few days ago. Jia Chong actually sent a thousand reporters to Cao into Yecheng, hoping to kill all the Cao clan relatives. Fortunately, King Zhao Sima Lun, who was in Yecheng at that time, discovered and effectively stopped this action. Otherwise, if Luoyang City was destroyed in the future, the Han Dynasty might give preferential treatment to the Sima family according to the old rules, and the Cao family would not endure the Sima family.

Although Jia Chong's move was also rooted in the bad things Sima Zhao did back then, this action showed that his ministers had begun to be out of control of the emperor.

Therefore, at this time, the only one who can rely on is the royal family.

"Oh, my uncles and brothers, you are all ministers and workers. I don't want to say much about the current situation of the country. Now, the only thing we can do is to stick to Luoyang. If we can defend twice in three years and force the Han Dynasty to withdraw its troops, then the country still has a glimmer of vitality. But, please discuss how to defend the city."

After Sima Yan said this, the court was silent. Like Sima You, Sima Jun, Sima Gui, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong, Du Yu, Wei Guan, Yang Hu, Ma Long and others, all looked strange.

This battle has been defeated so badly until now. You, the emperor, don’t you know what you think?!

When the enemy launched an attack in Tongguan, we said it was a feint, so we didn't care. If you don't listen, you insisted that the Taiyuan King dispatched 20,000 troops to go south. As a result, Sima Gui just left, Guan Yi took Taiyuan with the opportunity.

When Guan Zifeng first arrived in Taiyuan, the food supply was blocked and he did not dare to pour all 150,000 main forces into Bingzhou. At that time, his troops were still less than 100,000. We said that we should quickly drive the central army out and fight a decisive battle with the Bingzhou troops in Bingzhou and Guan Zifeng. As a result, a few pieces of rammed earth fell from the walls of Tongguan, and you were scared and not allowed to drive the central army out. Sit and see Guan Zifeng slowly gaining a foothold in Bingzhou.

Jiang Bo asked to send troops to Youzhou, and we advise you to drive the central army to Youzhou to support Meng Shushi, General Gou Dao. As a result, you still dare not drive the central army out because the Han army rushed to the top of Tongguan. As a result, Meng Shushi died in a fierce battle, General Gou Dao died even more aggrieved.

Finally, the Han army in Tongguan retreated, and you were willing to let the Central Army drive it out. But at that time the fighter had been lost, and the only thing you could do was to waste it. We also looked for foreign aid everywhere and brought food and reinforcements in Dongwu. But you urged Chen Xiuyuan to send troops to fight to the decisive battle. What was the result? Chen Qian, Wang Hun, Hu Lie, Yang Zhao, Jiang Ban, Jiao Yi... are all rare generals in the country! In just one go, they were all defeated!

It can be said that every time you have a choice, you have made the wrong choice! If you hadn't been so blindly commanding, we might have lost, but we would never have lost so badly! Within two years, Bingzhou would have been thrown away, and at most Youzhou would be added. How could it be like today? Only by trapping Luoyang, an isolated city!

The establishment of this country was the foundation laid by your grandfather, uncle, and father. What you did was just to let Cao Huan abdicate. This kind of thing could be accomplished by anyone with the surname Sima, and it was not necessary for you! I followed your grandfather, uncle, and father to overcome all obstacles and struggled to create this country in a difficult situation. He paid much more than you! What qualifications do you have to be so spendthy family?

What a pity for the many soldiers who fought for this country until the last moment!

However, now the enemy will soon be at the city, so there is no need for us to change the emperor to make a bad reputation for abolition. But, we are very unhappy now, so we won't answer your question!

After an embarrassing silence in the entire court, a sigh sounded, but it was the seeds of Hongnong Yang family left by Sima Yan. Shangshu Pushe Yang Ju and Yang Wenju stood up.

"Your Majesty, rely on Luoyang to stick to it. In my opinion, there are three things that need to be done in advance."

"Oh, Wen Ju, please speak, I'll listen carefully."

"I dare not, Your Majesty, I think the first thing is to gather the people outside Luoyang into the city. After that, the heroic people were selected from these people to help the city to assist in defense. Your Majesty, all the princes, all the officials, and I was in charge of household registration at the Shangshutai. At the peak of Luoyang, there were more than 600,000 people (During the Cao Rui period), and even now there were more than 400,000 people (repeatedly large-scale losses of the central army). It is not a problem to draw 50,000 people from this."

"Yes, please continue."

"Thank you, your Majesty, the second thing is to collect food and grass. Four hundred thousand people, more than 100,000 war soldiers, as well as many princes, ministers and their relatives, and their servants. The population of the city is probably less than 600,000. The monthly food consumption is nearly one million stones. According to the Shangshutai, the current grain inventory in Luoyang City is less than ten million stones, so this little grain will last less than a year."

"So, how to collect it?"

"Your Majesty should issue an order to transfer all the stocks of Chenliu, Yuzhou, Xuchang, and Jingzhou to Luoyang. The distance between Xuzhou is too far, and it is probably too late. In addition, we must urgently send the Eastern Wu to quickly support our batch of grain. We strive to reserve the stocks of Luoyang to more than 20 million stones before April. After the war begins, we can discuss with the Han Kingdom in the middle, saying that the city is insufficient, so we will take the initiative to release the people to eat in the fields. With Guan Zifeng's hypocritical and shameless nature, I think the other party will agree. In this way, from the perspective of grain alone, we can support it for about three years."

"Wen Ju, I'm sure! This matter will be supervised by the Shangshu Station. Well, King Qi, you are fully responsible for this matter."

"Uh... I received the order."

Oh, this Yang Wenju is really good. He is much better than his brother who always comes up with bad ideas. Why didn’t I notice it before? If I had known this, I would have used him as the representative of the Yang family to restrain King Qi and others.

"Wen Ju, what about the third item?"
