Chapter 796 Cutting the soil and thanking the leader, No. 2009, Hualing Road
Chapter 796: Cutting the soil (Thanks to the leader, No. 2009 Hualing Road)
In Yecheng.
Sima Yan nervously paid attention to the situation on the front line.
He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that there was a winner.
The Qin thieves were beaten into deep ditches and high bases, which shows that our side has the advantage.
For this battle, he took out all the money and silk he had accumulated in the treasury, rewarded the soldiers, and promised each of them twenty acres of fertile land after the enemy retreated. This boosted the morale of the Jin army.
No matter whether it can be realized or not, let's get over the difficulties at hand first.
This trick really worked, and everyone in the Jin army fought hard.
"I will reward Zhang Fangming with a pair of light armor, a sword, and twenty beauties! If you can capture and kill Yang Thief, I will treat him as a prince!" Sima Yan drew a big cake very generously.
The ministers exchanged glances with each other, many of them jealous.
"Although the city of Ye is strong, it cannot last long. We need the support of Qingyanyouji to deal with the Qin thieves. The Qin thieves have deep ditches and high bases. Our army cannot be trapped in an isolated city. We must strengthen Liyang, Guangping, and Yangping.
, defend Neihuang and other places." Xun Xu changed his previous low profile and actively made suggestions for Sima Yan.
Now that the Qin army is entrenched, Yecheng does not need so many troops. It is best to spread them out, firstly to increase the defense of other cities, and secondly to reduce the pressure on food and grass.
"What Shizhong Xun said is true!" Everyone agreed.
Sima Yan also nodded in agreement, but his eyes flashed and he said quietly: "Xunqing, I wonder when the Wu army will rush to help?"
The Yingchuan nobles colluded with Zhong Hui and the fall of Xuchang undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Sima Yan.
And without the Xun family's nod, how could the Yingchuan gentry be so cooperative?
So Xun Xu's status now is very delicate.
Sima Yan asked this question, which revealed the collusion between Xun Xu and Zhong Hui.
Xun Xu's whole body was shocked. He didn't expect Sima Yan to be so direct.
If you answer a wrong word at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this door today.
If the Sima family becomes suspicious, it means that the door to hell is not far away.
Feng Wei, He Shao and others looked at him with gloating looks.
Xun Xu said calmly: "Zhonghui stationed troops in Xuchang and did not take Huaisi. His intention was to fight in Yecheng. If your majesty can stop the Qin thieves, the Wu army will move northward."
To say that you don't know or to shirk at this time is definitely to seek death. It is better to admit it openly and let Sima Yan know his value as a middleman and have some scruples.
Fortunately, Sima Yancheng's palace is very deep, he will not be impulsive and can endure it.
Sima Yan looked calm and calm, without any displeasure on his face, and said meaningfully: "I understand."
Xun Xu flattered, "Your Majesty is wise."
Shi Bao cupped his hands and said: "There is Wang Hun in Qingzhou, so I don't have to worry about it for the time being. I am worried about Youzhou. If Qin thieves come down from Youzhou, Hebei will not exist."
"Do you have any countermeasures?"
At this time, Feng Gu suddenly said first: "Murong Shegui has been plotting in Liaodong. If not, as promised, he will reward the chiefs of the three tribes and order them to rush to the rescue with all their strength!"
Shi Bao's original intention was to send lobbyists to lobby, promising money and silk to induce them to send troops.
The three tribes of Xianbei originally had enmity with Qin.
And they don’t want to see a complete Qin State. They can just send a clever lobbyist to get the matter done...
But Feng Gu sold out all the people in Jin State with one word.
The Jin Dynasty's court was still fighting within itself, but it was always on guard against the barbarians from all directions.
"Your Majesty..." Shi Bao was about to speak when something moved in his mind. Feng Can knew nothing about military strategy. His only strengths were infighting and flattery.
Why are you so proactive?
With a thought in his heart, he glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, Sima Yan had a calm expression on his face, as if he had known that Feng Ming would say this. Feng Ming's eyes were a little dull, without the cunningness of the past at all.
In other words, it was Sima Yan who asked Feng Can to advise!
"Does Great Sima have a good plan?" Sima Yan stared at Shi Bao with gleaming eyes.
The ball hit him again.
Shi Bao is still somewhat loyal to the Sima family. After all, without Sima Yi's promotion, Shi Bao would not be where he is today.
But compared to his own family, this loyalty can only be buried deep in his heart.
The tree fell and the hozens scattered.
How easy it was to rise back then, how quickly it will fall now.
Sima Yan's intention is obvious, Feng Yan is just a messenger.
He wants to sell his ancestral land, how can others stop him?
"Your Majesty is a wise master, so he naturally knows the pros and cons. I forgive you for being old and foolish." One of the great benefits of being old is that you can pretend to be confused at any time.
Sima Yan turned his eyes to the others, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Yi, the imperial servant, came out and said: "It is absolutely impossible. If this is the case, I am afraid that the three tails of Xianbei will not be lost in the future. The tigers will retreat and the wolves will come again. The country is exhausted. Since ancient times, it has cut off the land to ask for help. It has been extremely humiliating. I am the superior country.
They are barbarians, and barbarians are greedy by nature. If we set this example today, and the history is long, how can we judge what is happening today?"
The Sima family's reputation has already been bad, and they are not afraid of adding to it.
"Do you have a good plan?" Sima Yan asked patiently.
"The Qin thieves' long-distance attacks cannot last long. Our army has not been defeated, so why ask for help from the barbarians?"
"Your Excellency is wrong in what he said. You are planning ahead. Today you are just deceiving him to lure him into a decisive battle with the Qin thieves. Both sides will suffer. It will be easy to clean up in the future." Feng Zhen retorted.
"If a man has no faith and cannot stand, what will happen to the country? Who will help me if the thieves come back one day?" Liu Yi argued hard, but this sentence happened to hit the backbone of the Sima family.
Extremely harsh.
Sima Yan's expression darkened and he stared at Liu Yi, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Liu Yi knew he had lost his words, "I...have no countermeasures!"
Sima Yan said coldly: "Since there is no way to retreat from the enemy, how dare you hinder the country's plan here? Retreat!"
Liu Yi retreated sadly.
Sima Yan's gloomy eyes kept staring at his back.
He did not forget that Liu Yi and his son were Sima You's staunch supporters. When Sima Zhao recruited him as an official, he claimed to be ill and was considered loyal to Cao Wei. Sima Zhao was angry, and Liu Yi was afraid of the Sima family's ancestral skills, so he had to
Obey.
As soon as Liu Yi left, there was no objection in the palace, and everyone agreed with Feng Can's plan.
At this time, Sima Yan wants to grab every life-saving straw, so who cares about the "long history"?
If the Sima family had cared about this thing, they wouldn't be where they are today.
Shi Bao sighed secretly.
Xun Xu also sighed.
However, they are all smart people and will not disobey Sima Yan.
Starting from Sima Yi's oath to Luo Shui, starting from Sima Shi's massacre of celebrities, starting from Sima Zhao's regicide on the street, starting from Sima Yan's usurpation of Wei, there have been more and more smart people like this in the Jin court.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's do this." Sima Yan glanced at the ministers in the palace, and his eyes fell on Shi Bao, "The country is in danger, and the Great Sima should share my worries."
Shi Bao raised his head in confusion, wondering whether Sima Yan wanted him to contribute or to mind his own business.
But the meaning is almost the same, they should contribute more to the war and mind less other things.
Sima Yan seemed to be encouraging him, but in fact he was beating him.
After all, Shi Bao is the only one who can be a great user in Yecheng.
Shi Bao cupped his hands and said, "I accept your order!"
I will try my best to update tomorrow and return the other two chapters of the boss at No. 2009, Hualing Road. Thank you for your support. Thank you to all my friends for their support.
Chapter completed!
