Royal Road - Chapter 252

[Chapter 251 | City]

The beginning of spring has long passed, the weather is getting warmer, and the severe cold has disappeared with the spring breeze.

However, sitting in the main hall, Sima Ying was trembling, as if she couldn’t hold back the chill.

Wang Mi escaped.

After being besieged by the imperial army for three months, Wang Mi, the general, the governor, and the captain, fled with tens of thousands of remnants.

Without these troops, the defense immediately collapsed, and Sima Yue had already led his army to attack outside Huarong City.

How can this small city wall stop the army?

He couldn’t stop it.

Below the steps, the few remaining courtiers were as quiet as mud puppets.

Yes, what can be asked from their mouths?

These people could not wait to tie him out of the city and hand him over to Sima Yue, in exchange for a chance to atone for his merits.

He, the “Son of Heaven”, has only these uses left.

“Kaicheng.” After a long time, Sima Ying finally said.

There was a commotion below, and someone shouted in alarm: “Your Majesty, as long as you escape from Jingzhou, maybe…” Before she finished speaking, Sima Ying had already put on

his

sleeves: “You all retreat.”

There was something bad omen on his face, and the following people struggled for a while, then they fled as if they were all scattered.

Facing the empty hall, Sima Ying sat for a moment, and suddenly asked, “How old are you?”

There was no one in the hall, and the servant behind him suddenly knelt down, “Your Majesty!”

“How old?” Sima Ying asked again.

“Old slaves out of fifty…” The servant was one of Sima Ying’s close followers, and at this moment seemed to know what the other party was thinking, and burst into tears.

“Fifty…maybe know the destiny?” Sima Ying laughed miserably.

He was twenty-nine years old, how could he wait for the age to know the destiny?

The maid still wanted to persuade, but Sima Ying’s handsome face already showed a smile that was not a smile: “Well, it’s better than falling into the hands of a thief. After I die, will the world be at peace? It’s just one step ahead of him.”

In this voice, There was a chill that sent chills down the spine.

The maid was sobbing that she was speechless, but Sima Ying stood up and walked straight towards the pillars in the hall.

“The false emperor has cut himself off?” When the city gates opened and the officials surrendered, Sima Yue knew that he had won.

However, before the humiliation envisioned in his mind could be used, he heard the news that Sima Ying had committed suicide.

This somewhat disappointed him.

The battle with Sima Ying lasted for more than three years.

From the initial battle of Yecheng to the later two emperors standing side by side, the dangers are incalculable.

Now that he has squandered the lives of 30,000 soldiers and finally captured the fortified city, he has removed the trouble of his confidant who made him sleepless, but he can’t see this defeated general with his own eyes. How can he not be embarrassed?

However, the loss was only for a moment, and Sima Yue immediately asked: “Can the false emperor leave a heir?”

“Several princes also led to their deaths.”

Hearing this answer, Sima Yue’s eyebrows widened.

That’s fine too.

No matter how he committed troubles, he was also the biological son of Emperor Wu.

Now that the family commits suicide in fear of crime, wouldn’t it be easy?

“Okay! Reward the three armies, and the class teacher will return to the DPRK!” Sima Yue said loudly no matter how worried he was in his heart.

No one could compete with him for the position of Saisuke.

As long as he gets rid of the thieves, bandits and tyrants, he will be able to sit firmly in this country.

But in addition to being complacent, there is still a small spike in the brain, which is faintly painful.

The little emperor in Luoyang City is becoming more and more reckless, which is a hidden danger.

It’s still a bit hasty to start now. What is the most appropriate way to get rid of him?

Power is like a winter coat, once it is wrapped around the body, it cannot be taken off.

Only by pulling out those needles can we live in peace.

How could Sima Yue not know the importance of it?

However, thinking about it like this, the army changed direction halfway after returning.

It was only because Wang Mi, who had escaped from Jingzhou before, wrapped up 50,000 rebels and swept Yuzhou.

Out of desperation, Sima Yue led his troops into Xuchang and ordered Gou Xi to pacify the chaos.

It’s just that no matter how much Gou Xi used his soldiers like a god, he was leading a tired soldier who had fought for half a year.

Facing the vicious Wang Mibu, who had quite a large number of people, he could only try his best to defend.

The two armies were in a stalemate in Yuzhou.

“General, the troops and horses are ready, are you going to attack Xindu?”

Shi Le did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes to look outside the tent.

The cold winter has passed, and the branches in the fields have turned green.

They not only survived the most difficult days, but also expanded the original 5,000 troops to 30,000.

The turn of winter and spring is not the time for wars, but when wars occur, it is easier to withdraw troops and buy horses.

Only because Shi Le gathered all the refugees and bandits, and even captured the city and recruited rebels from the city.

For the poor people, until the summer harvest, it is a difficult gate of hell, and it is very easy to die if the green and yellow are not connected.

In the event of a military disaster, what else can you do except throw thieves?

What’s more, every time Shile’s army entered the city, they killed officials to open their warehouses, and the food and grass that could not be taken away were directly distributed to the people.

This kind of small favor and small favor is enough to make the young and strong head hot, even disregarding his identity as Jiehu, and came to join the army.

In this way, this team is getting bigger and bigger. If they can capture the Jizhou government office of Xindu, they may add tens of thousands of horses!

How could he have thought of today when he escaped from Wei County in embarrassment back then?

After seeing the terrifying soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, the Jin troops defending the city in Jizhou were even weaker.

Desire | Desire is like a spring weed that grows wildly against the wind.

Today, the troops led by Shi Le are several times larger than those of Ji Sang.

A general, well deserved!

However, he was not satisfied with this achievement.

After conquering Jizhou, it is better to take refuge with the Xiongnu.

Once you have the official status, if you go to war again, it will not be a simple rebellion by grabbing food.

Those generals defending the city may vote for the Han generals, but they will not color the rogues.

He had already heard that the governor of Yecheng was also born in Jie.

Why can he be named a prince as a prime minister, while he can only snatch food and grass with a group of muddy legs?

What others can do, he can do it too!

“General?” Seeing that Shi Le didn’t answer, the subordinate couldn’t help but ask nervously, “Is there anything wrong with the letter?”

Shi Le snorted coldly: “What’s wrong? Organize troops and horses to attack the city immediately!

” dragged.

If he captured Jizhou and killed the governor, his credit would be several times greater than that of Yecheng that day.

Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to get the Han State to condone it?

As for the group of Bingzhou soldiers, there will be a battle sooner or later.

Next time, he must decide the winner!

※

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

In the barracks outside Ye City, the sound of killing was loud.

These recruits have been practicing for more than three months. They are lined up for drills every day, and they cannot rest for a moment.

However, this kind of hard work did not make them feel tired, but instead they practiced hard.

Just because in this army, there is hope to urge people to work hard!

Most of them came from military households, and no matter which general came, they would forcefully take people.

Not to mention young and strong, even the elderly and children may be plundered into the army.

After joining the army, he could not get enough food and clothing, and he had to serve as a laborer. Maybe the commander gave an order and filled the city ditch.

Being a soldier is worse than being a refugee!

Therefore, even the military households often flee, and if they really cannot escape, they will not fight with all their heart.

Eight times out of ten | Nine times, it will be scattered as soon as it is rushed, and it will be a rout early.

But General Yi’s subordinates were not like this at all.

As early as the time of conscription, the settlement fee was issued.

In the season when the green and yellow are not connected, a lot of rice can save a family, who doesn’t want to be moved?

After enlisting in the army, as soon as you should eat and drink, the army will provide you with it.

If you train well and have some courage and talent, maybe you can be promoted to corps commander and lead several soldiers.

And training, in the final analysis, is to save lives.

Those generals spoke clearly and clearly, and they all practiced with the soldiers, never slack off.

No deductions, no humiliation or torture, who wouldn’t be tempted to see these generals who came from a poor family just like their own?

If you can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, can you be like them, receive salaries, buy fields and houses, and increase officials and titles?

For these poor people who have been suffering for a long time and have no hope, it is really a very promising thing.

Therefore, no matter how hard the camp was, no one retreated.

On the contrary, everyone is looking forward to going into battle as soon as possible.

There was a sound of hooves, from far to near.

Many soldiers who were training couldn’t help turning their heads to look, and they were immediately punished by the colonel, not daring to be distracted.

But everyone knows in their hearts that this is General Yi coming back!

Has the chaotic army in Guangping been swept away?

“General Yi, this time we have killed another bandit army. It’s really hard work!” Wang Ping praised happily with a smile on his face.

Although Guangping County is not within the scope of Wei County, it is ultimately under the jurisdiction of Yiyan.

Moreover, it is adjacent to Jizhou, and the military disaster is severe, and it can be calmed down, which is also very beneficial to Wei County.

Now Wang Ping is quite familiar with the person in front of him, and knows that although Yi Yan’s face is cold, he is still quite eager for utility.

When it comes to food and grass, he is not relentless.

There were only 6,000 recruits in training, but there were more than 10,000 for food and grass.

There is a lot to eat in this empty rate!

However, after Yi Yan showed his strength, Wang Ping was relieved.

As for food and grass, other than Wei County, don’t other pacified counties supply it?

The more battles he fought, the less pressure he put on his shoulders, and it was really easier to pass.

Facing such a pleasing smile, Yi Yan didn’t show any joy on his face, instead he frowned and said, “I heard that the rebel army in Jizhou has started to attack Xindu?”

Wang Ping’s face froze, how could he be so well informed?

He couldn’t help but answer these words, he laughed dryly: “This is indeed the case. It is said that Ding Shishi has already sent troops, and I don’t know if they can repel the rebel army…”

“The letter has been lost, and Jizhou is in danger. It must be rescued!” Yiyan now He had already established his prestige, so he didn’t need to be too polite to Wang Ping.

Hearing this, Wang Ping lowered his face and said, “General Yi, this is not right. There are not many soldiers in Hebei, and if we save other states, wouldn’t we mess up our own family? Ding Shishi and Feng Duwei of Jizhou. They’re all veterans of war, just mere bandits, how can they do anything?”

“What if you can’t keep it?” Yi Yan asked rhetorically.

“This…”

Wang Ping wanted to say something, but Yi Yan had already waved his hand: “Fujun doesn’t know about military affairs, if the letter is lost, the group of rebels might flee to Sizhou and bring disaster to Hebei again. After being breached once, even the King of Dongyan died in the wilderness, did the lord forget it?”

The meaning of these words was so terrifying that Wang Ping couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

That’s right, when 10,000 troops were in chaos, Ye City was unable to fight back.

What if more than tens of thousands?

Will he abandon the city and flee, or will he die for the country?

After swallowing his saliva, Wang Ping said with difficulty: “Even so, we must see Ding Shi’s response. It is always inappropriate to send troops rashly…”

Yi Yan did not refute this time, but simply said: “Please also ask the government You should

prepare early.” The

good and bad spirits, half a month later, news came from Jizhou.

The Western Commander Feng Chong died in battle, and the city of Xindu was destroyed!
