Royal Road - Chapter 295

[Chapter 294 | City]

“My son is incompetent, please forgive me.” Kneeling under the steps, Liu Yao’s expression was sincere.

In fact, in this war, success was due to him, and defeat was also due to him.

The soldiers and horses sent to Shangdang were defeated in the First World War.

Zhang Dian and Pu Hong both died and more than 20,000 soldiers were lost.

Most of the rest were newly gathered Diqiang mixed hus, and there was no thought of returning to report the letter, so they turned around and fled back to Yongzhou.

These people can’t find them if they try to find them, which means that 30,000 horses have been lost.

And this defeat also brought a great threat to Pingyang County.

Just four thousand cavalry, let them lose two cities in a row.

When they saw the crossbow/arrow that was cut into the stone by three points on the city wall of Xiangling, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

With such a weapon in hand, and adding more than 10,000 people, is it possible to directly capture Pingyang?

No one dared to say this.

So Liu Yao became the culprit, and he had to plead guilty first.

Looking at the clansmen who bowed their heads under the steps, Liu Yuan sighed: “It’s not Yongming’s fault for this battle, it’s actually Bingzhou’s cunning. Besides, the reinforcements sent by Gou Xi have already approached Luoyang, and if they drag them on, it will not be a waste of troops.”

They also retired. timely.

It didn’t take long for Gou Xi and Shan Jian’s reinforcements to arrive in Luoyang.

If they stay outside the city, it will definitely turn into a war of attrition, and maybe how many soldiers and horses will be involved.

Now that they have captured Henan County and counties, it is not a waste of time.

But the biggest problem is not here, but in…

I knew that Liu Yuan valued himself, hearing this, Liu Yao was still relieved, and hurriedly said: “Now Sizhou is fierce, and the capital is located in Pingyang, and there will be more trouble later. The fertile soil in Guanzhong is thousands of miles away, and there are natural dangers in Tongguan, which is the foundation of the country…”

That’s it.

Liu Yuan frowned slightly.

The Bingzhou raid brought a hidden danger.

Some people in the DPRK began to question the safety of Pingyang.

Both Pingyang and Luoyang belong to Sizhou, and Bingzhou is only a short distance away.

If Bingzhou is not captured, any military action against Luoyang may lead to such a dangerous situation today.

Whether Liang Feng is loyal to Da Jin, no one can guess.

However, taking advantage of the situation to attack Pingyang was an effort.

It can even be said that as long as the little emperor of Jin State has the will to gather troops from Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou to attack Pingyang, the Han army may not be able to fully defend.

The precedent of Bingzhou is too dangerous, enough to make everyone fear.

And Xingbing the crusade against Bingzhou, it is impossible to start.

Back then, Liu Yuan was still the king of the Xihe Kingdom in Bingzhou, but he was driven out by that surnamed Liang.

Now that Liang Feng has defeated Wang Jun, he has two states in his hands, and his strength is even higher. How can you say that you can beat it?

Once they start a war with Bingzhou, it is most likely that someone else will stab them in the back.

Besides, even if you put your life on the line, you can still win.

Don’t you see that 30,000 soldiers entered the Shangdang and disappeared in an instant.

And the consequences of Wang Jun’s mobilization of 100,000 troops are still vivid in his eyes, aren’t they?

Therefore, the dilemma faced by Luoyang also fell on Pingyang.

There are still eight gates around Luoyang. There are natural dangers of the Yellow River. What else is there in Pingyang?

In comparison, Chang’an is not only the place where the great Han established his country, but also a thousand miles of fertile soil.

At the same time, there are more than 100,000 Di and Qiang mixed hus scattered in Yong and Qin states.

If you can take all these people for your own use, it will be much easier to fight Jin.

It is a good place to move the capital because of the right time, place and people.

However, Liu Yuan could not let go so easily.

After leaving Pingyang, the starting place of the Xiongnu left, is his foundation still stable?

World War I was so frightened that the capital was abandoned, where would Huang Han’s face be placed?

He was really unwilling to leave Pingyang like this!

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yuanfang said: “It has only been two years since the capital was moved to Pingyang. It is really inappropriate to change the capital. This matter should be discussed again…”

“Father!” Liu Yao still wanted to advise.

However, Liu Yuan waved his hand: “This is a state affair, how can we arbitrarily decide? Let’s discuss it later!”

However, before Liu Yuan could make a decision, the city of Luoyang had already changed drastically.

※

When Linghu Kuang led his troops to Luoyang, the enemy had already retreated, leaving only the devastated city.

In the early years, Zhang Fang also raged in Luoyang, and even burned two gates, but he never did anything in places like Taixue and official offices.

The Huns were different. They showed no mercy and were even willing to destroy these symbols representing the Jin Dynasty.

The whole of Luoyang seemed to have been plowed once, the houses collapsed and the smoke billowed.

Not to mention the people in the city.

Seeing this tragic phenomenon, Linghu couldn’t bear to look at it any longer.

When Jinyang was besieged, I am afraid it has not fallen to this point.

In this capital of the Son of Heaven, where is the glory of the past?

Because he was an envoy from Bingzhou, Linghu Kuang was announced by the Son of Heaven into the palace as soon as he arrived in the city.

After all, it was the first time to see him. Even if the palace was in ruins, Linghu Kuang was full of excitement.

This is the face to face!

Moreover, the retreat of the enemy this time is entirely due to the envoy sending troops to attack the fake Han, and the emperor should also greatly reward him.

Such a good thing with honor, if it weren’t for his uncle’s great achievements in conquering Li Shi, I am afraid it would not have fallen to him.

Suppressing his excitement, Linghu Kuang walked into the hall and bowed down to the steps: “My minister, Linghu Kuang, see Your Majesty!”

“General Linghu, please get up.” A rather young voice came from the steps.

Linghu Kuang didn’t dare to raise his head to offend Tianyan, and bowed in a proper manner before standing up.

“This time General Linghu led his troops into Luo, his heart is commendable, and he should be rewarded!” The

emperor opened his mouth, but Linghu Kuang did not dare to take the lead, and hurriedly bowed and replied: “This minister has come here on the order of Governor Liang. Escort. The success of retreating troops depends entirely on the governor’s proper use of troops. The minister is ashamed and dare not be worthy.”

He did not dare to let the emperor misunderstand.

This time, the first merit was General Yi, who entered the enemy’s territory with a light cavalry, and the second was his uncle who recaptured Li Shi.

But in the final analysis, it was Liang Shijun who knew people and took care of him, and predicted things like a god.

On the throne, there was silence for a moment, but soon a voice came again: “General Linghu’s words are not bad, this time thanks to Liang Qing decisively dispatched troops to surround Wei and save Zhao. If not, what is Luoyang? I don’t know how many soldiers Liang Qing sent. Ma, attack Pingyang?”

Linghu Kuang immediately lifted his spirits and said loudly: “A total of 5,000 cavalry, two cities were broken in a row, and the Huns were forced to retreat. Those who attacked Lishi, there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses, and now the Naxi River country has been merged into the prefecture.

” 25,000 people have such great merit?

There was a slight commotion in the hall, but Linghu Kuang didn’t care, and continued: “Before, the Xiongnu sent 30,000 troops to the Shangdang to block the Xingdao. It was also the governor who sent troops to defeat the passage, and the passage was opened. The good news is here, please also please. Your Majesty, take a look.”

After speaking, he presented the memorial book he carried with him.

Immediately, Xiao Huangmen took it and presented it in front of the Son of Heaven.

The little emperor didn’t open the memorial, just nodded slightly: “Liang Qing is the first in this battle.” There

was a smile on his lips, but the smile did not enter his eyes.

After hearing that Liang Feng led his troops into Pingyang that day, Sima Tan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Surrounding Wei to save Zhao, he also understands.

But with such means, will it be possible to protect the Huns from retreating?

Obviously, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and thousands of light cavalry can fight the chaos in the territory of the Xiongnu, but not one soldier or one soldier is sent to Luoyang to rescue him.

If Liu Yuan uses some means and does not withdraw his troops, is he going to sit and watch Luoyang City be destroyed and the emperor die?

And to fight Pingyang, 25,000 soldiers are needed. If Luoyang is sent, how many are needed?

Who can stop this “Da Jin loyal minister”?

Wang Mang is far away, Cao Cao is near, and even his ancestor Sima, who didn’t look like a loyal minister at first?

The power is high and shocks the master, and the heart of self-seeking rebellion and usurping power.

That Liang Zixi was no longer a weak scholar, but a fierce tiger entrenched in Bingzhou.

How could he allow such a courtier to be on the side of the couch?

How could Linghu Kuang know what the little emperor was thinking, so he knelt down again to thank him.

Looking at the loyal young general, the little emperor put away all the expressions on his face: “Liang Qing is the humerus of the imperial court. After I move the capital, Sizhou can be handed over to Liang Qing with peace of mind.” Moving the

capital?

!

Linghu Kuang suddenly raised his head in shock, but before he could see the person on the throne, he woke up and hurriedly lowered his head.

Sweat dripped from his forehead.

How could it be so hasty to move the capital?

Luoyang is the capital of the Eight Passes, and there is also the Yellow River to rely on. The enemy this time was the fault of the defenders.

As long as you strengthen the strength of a few passes, how can you lose so embarrassingly?

If the emperor left Luoyang, wouldn’t the heavy responsibility of attacking the Xiongnu be placed on the shoulders of the envoy?

Seeing Linghu Kuang’s horrified expression, Sima Tan only felt a trace of comfort in his heart, and said loudly: “Bingzhou has strong soldiers, I only hope that Liang Qing can expel the Hu prisoners and settle the party. When the pseudo-Han destroys the country, I will return to Luoyang! General Linghu, since you have brought troops to escort you, then go with me to Shouchun.”

Shouchun was the place where the little emperor chose to go.

He also thought about moving the capital Xuchang before, but Wang Mi’s army captured Xudu one step ahead.

The Yu, Yan, Qing, and Jing states were also in constant wars.

On the other hand, in the south, after the rebel general Chen Min was killed, the military disaster gradually disappeared, and it can be called stability.

However, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, had already arrived in Jianye, and he was assisted by Wang Dao, Wang Dun, Liu Kun and others.

If he entered Jiangdong, it was inevitable that Sima Yue would happen, and he would be controlled by others.

On the other hand, Shouchun was originally the outpost of Cao Wei who was stationed to attack Soochow.

Adjacent to Jing, Henan and Xushuzhou, far from the situation of Heluo, near to the town of Xuyu, there are fertile fields and land, and the transportation can be connected in all directions, so there is no shortage of trouble.

In this way, none of the guards will be able to dominate.

Mutual restraint, only for their own use.

And Shouchun is the old land of the state, located in Huainan, so it will not fall into the homeland of Sun Wu.

He also did not completely lose the family business of Sima Yimai.

As for the Northland, leave it to Liang Feng, Gou Xi, Duan Wuwuchen and others.

Since these people are good at using soldiers, sooner or later they will be able to pacify Heshuo and kill the Rong and Di.

At that time, he will be full of wings, and he will send his troops north. Why can’t he recover the old capital?

Hearing the emperor’s order, Linghu Kuang was shocked and didn’t know how to answer.

Said to be escorting, in fact, the enemy had already retreated, and he was more ordered to come to Luoyang to walk through the scene, and only brought a thousand men and horses.

Why was he suddenly summoned by the Son of Heaven to accompany him to Shouchun?

However, as a general of the Great Jin Dynasty, how to refuse the order of the emperor?

If it is disobedient, wouldn’t it be like disobedience?

After being stiff for a moment, Linghu Kuang slowly leaned over and kowtowed: “My minister, obey the order.”

Looking at the somewhat stiff back, the little emperor let out a sneer.

Since there are many soldiers and can fight, what’s the harm in giving you this place in Sizhou?

It would be best if it could defeat both the Huns and the Huns!
