Chapter 764 Moving the Capital

Luoyang.

The Qin army retreated, and Sima Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Luoyang is temporarily stable.

But bad news came one after another.

First of all, Yang Hu remained silent after receiving the edict to surrender to Soochow, and the Qin-Wu war did not start.

Secondly, the three Xianbei tribes, who used to be as docile as dogs, actually raised 50,000 troops to attack Youzhou!

There was also Yang Gu, the leader of the bandits in Chen County, who claimed to be a member of Yang Zheng's tribe and gathered more than ten thousand people. The momentum became stronger and stronger, and the soldiers were directed towards it. The generals of the Jin State fled in the face of the wind, but they gradually gained momentum and held hostage more and more people.

The more there are, in just two months, there are 30,000 people, known as the 100,000 army...

Sima Yan, suffering from internal and external troubles, couldn't breathe.

So he became more and more obsessed with women.

Playing and singing every night, all night long.

His body was becoming more and more haggard day by day. He was clearly less than thirty, but he still gave people a sense of twilight, just like the Sima family.

When people are unlucky, drinking cold water will hurt their teeth.

The Qin army retreated, followed by various involutions.

The Sima family is also questioning Sima Yan's legitimacy.

More and more people are rallying around Sima You.

Sima Jun, the governor of Huaibei, wrote directly, requesting that Sima You be appointed as the crown prince.

Sima Jun is Sima Yan's uncle and the pillar of the Sima family. He oversees a town and has 60,000 to 70,000 troops. He is also on good terms with Lu Qin, Liu Yi and others. He must have the support of a large group of people behind him.

"Yang Gu and other thieves are nothing more than rogue bandits. Thousands of elites can wipe them out. The only ones we can worry about are the three Xianbei tribes. However, Hebei has always been heavily defended. Murong She has returned here and there is nothing he can do!" Jia Chong comforted Sima Yan.

.

However, Sima Yan's expression was still very bad. In fact, he was more annoyed with Yang Hu because it was against his wishes.

He also wrote a letter saying that Qin and Wu may not necessarily fight a war.

Yang Hu is certainly a smart person.

Surrender to Soochow, and when the dust settles in the north, won't we have to surrender again?

But now Sima Yan doesn't have the energy to touch Yang Hu and the Yang family.

Shi Bao cupped his hands and said: "I would like to lead Luoyang's elite to Hebei to fight against the three Xianbei tribes!"

The Sima family collapsed, and the future of the Shi family was unclear.

Although the fourth son Shi Jun joined the Qin government, it will take some time to climb up.

And Shi Bao has some feelings for the Sima family. After all, it was Sima Yi who promoted him.

"If Grand Sima takes action, the three Xianbei tribes will definitely be defeated." Jia Chong complimented.

The person who was most afraid of something happening to the Sima family was Jia Chong. He was known as a regicide and fell into the hands of the Qin people who respected Cao Mao. He was afraid of dying without a burial place.

At this time, Jia Chong was not interested in a secret fight.

Sima Yan yawned, as if he didn't hear it.

"The country has been defeated and needs a great victory to boost people's hearts. When I go here, I will definitely inflict heavy damage on the three Xianbei tribes. First stabilize Hebei, and then send troops south to eliminate the bandits in Chenjun and Taishan! The country is in difficulty, Your Majesty cannot do it.

He is self-destructive. Fifty-sixths of the world's population lives in the Central Plains. He is still incapable of fighting against the Yang thief. How difficult is it for the late Emperor to start a business? Your Majesty, you should cheer up." Shi Bao said earnestly.

Sima Yan finally raised his head, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, "The prosperity of the country is entrusted to Shi Gong!"

"How dare I not try my best?"

No one stopped Shi Bao from leading his troops into battle.

Shi Bao would rather be in short supply than in excess, only the best.

They scraped together 8,000 cavalry and marched north to fight against the three Xianbei tribes.

After all, Shi Bao was a person promoted by Sima Yi. He was brave and resourceful. When he arrived in Hebei, he did not rush to attack. He wrote to the three Xianbei tribes, revisiting old friendships, recruited Hebei warriors, trained soldiers, and ordered to lead the troops to build walls and clear the country.

, do not fight with.

The three tribes of Xianbei received Shi Bao's personal letter. Seeing the humble words, they felt more and more profitable, and the army doubled their numbers.

Sure enough, the Jin Kingdom looked lifeless.

There was no human habitation anywhere, and the Jin army only dared to huddle in the city.

The three Xianbei tribes were strong in field battles and not good at attacking cities. They had no choice but to lead their troops deeper into Hebei.

Shi Bao wrote letters one after another, various kinds of ecstasy soup, either asking for the title of county king for them, or asking for marriage.

The three tribes of Xianbei endured the humiliation and burden of Cao Wei for decades. Once they succeeded, they increasingly felt that the Central Plains was weak and could be bullied, so they marched straight into Zhuoxian County to confront Shibao.

Shibao defended the city, while the three Xianbei tribes bared their teeth and claws below the city.

Shi Bao repeatedly visited the city and advised the three ministries to focus on the overall situation.

The three tribes also took the opportunity to speak loudly. Since they couldn't get it in Qin, they would get it in Jin's hands.

Directly ask for the entire Youzhou.

Everyone in the Jin army was filled with righteous indignation.

The people in the court were beaten until they lost their temper, but in the Central Plains of Hebei, there are no shortage of people with sexual orientation.

The generals asked for battle one after another, but Shi Bao refused and kept bargaining with the three tribes.

After more than half a month, as the Xianbei people became increasingly arrogant and the Jin army became angry, Shi Bao summoned the generals, boosted their morale, and launched a surprise attack with Qian Hong's Youzhou cavalry.

At this battle, Shi Bao personally beat the drum to cheer, and his two sons, Shi Qiao and Shi Tong, took the lead.

The Jin army was united and united like a mad tiger.

The three tribes of Xianbei were defeated. Qian Hong led his cavalry to pursue them for hundreds of miles, captured and killed tens of thousands of people, and captured more than 30,000 war horses. Murong Shegui only escaped with his own life, and all the wealth he had accumulated for decades was lost in one day.

The three Xianbei tribes lost their courage and surrendered to Luoyang again.

Sima Yan removed Murong She from his post as Grand Chanyu of Xianbei.

Taking advantage of the great victory, Shi Bao went south to attack the bandits in the Central Plains.

This battle also allowed Luoyang to regain some morale.

"I sincerely ask you to move the capital to Yecheng!" At the court meeting, Jia Chong's stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Now that the Qin army has retreated and has achieved great success in defeating Xianbei, Sima Yan's reputation has finally been restored.

"I think we should move the capital to Xuchang!" Xun Xu also remonstrated.

The headquarters of the Yingchuan gentry is in Xuchang.

The situation improved slightly, and the monarchs and ministers of Luoyang began a new round of overt and covert fighting.

"The battle of Zhuoxian shows that the hearts of the people of Hebei are in your Majesty's heart, and the city of Ye is prosperous. With the power of Hebei, it is enough to resist the Qin thieves, and it can also serve Your Majesty. If the nearby Wancheng is captured by the thieves, and if the capital is moved to Xuchang, it will face the Qin thieves day and night.

Since there is no defense at Xiongguan, the Qin cavalry can arrive at the city in a few days!" Jia Chong naturally had full confidence in provoking the proposal to move the capital at this time.

"Isn't Yecheng facing the thieves day and night? All the upper parties in Hanoi have fallen into the hands of thieves, Yecheng is flat, and the Qin thieves' cavalry is coming morning and night!"

"There is no stronger city in the world than Ye and Luo. With its backing on Youji and Yanyu, Ye city is strong enough to defend itself. It can also serve as horns with Luoyang to control Hanoi and Shangdang."

Sima Yan rubbed his forehead.

He will definitely not go to Xuchang. The Yingchuan nobles are unreliable.

So it can only be Yecheng.

Yecheng was managed by Yuan Shao and Cao Wei. It has three towers: Jinfeng Terrace, Tongque Terrace and Bingjing Terrace. It is extremely prosperous.

Sima Yan had already proclaimed himself emperor, so he couldn't live in a remote village and had no energy to build a new capital.

So Yecheng became the best choice.

Although the Qin army captured Shangdang, several passes in the Taihang Mountains were still in the hands of the Jin army.

If the Qin army wants to advance from Hanoi, Luoyang can send troops to block its return route.

In fact, the prosperity of Yecheng was enough to make Sima Yan's heart move.

The Sima Yan now is no longer the Sima Yan he was when he first succeeded to the throne.
