The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 905 Sima Zhao: Where is the loyal minister and good general now?
Yecheng.

In the court hall of the Jin Dynasty, there was no sound, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop to the ground.

Emperor Sima Zhao's face was ugly, he pressed his hand on the armrest of the dragon couch, and his sharp eyes swept over the courtiers and generals in front of the hall. Even Jia Chong, Xun Xu and other trusted officials could not breathe in the dignified atmosphere. .

In fact, Sima Zhao received Sima Fu's rescue letter a long time ago, but he was too busy to take care of himself at that time. If he dared to reinforce Sima Fu, he might be stabbed by Wen Yang in the future.

"My lords, Wen County has fallen, and I am heartbroken. It is a pity that Yecheng was attacked by Shu thieves back and forth. It is still difficult to protect itself. There is no spare power to send troops to help. Now that the gate of Hanoi County is wide open, the Shu thieves have gone north. Meixi, we are either fighting or defending, is there a good strategy?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sima Zhao could only suppress his anger and ask about the next step.

Hearing Sima Zhao's inquiry, the officials of the Jin Kingdom slowly became active. Sima Zhao said that Yecheng was in danger, but it was not a false statement. When Deng Ai raised his troops to attack Sima Fu, Wen Yang suddenly sent troops south from the Wuji area. A surprise attack was launched north of Yecheng.

In the post-Three Kingdoms period, Wen Yang belonged to the unique fierce general, not one of them.

During the Huainan Incident in history, he once blocked the Sima Division's barracks alone, and killed hundreds of generals in the Wei Army. None of the generals dared to fight him. die.

It is precisely because of this that after Wenyang was forced to descend to the Jin Dynasty, he could not be reused for a long time. It was not until the northwest frontier invaded and many generals such as Hu Lie, Su Yu, and Qianhong were killed that Wenyang was used. Under the command, the situation in the northwest of Jin was reversed.

Facing such an invincible general, what Sima Zhao could do was to rely on his superiority in numbers and set up layers of defenses to consume Wen Yang's energy.

"Your Majesty, there are Liu thieves in the front and Wen thieves in the back. I am afraid that the city of Ye will not be able to hold on. I suggest that you quickly pack up all the luggage and utensils, and move the capital to Qingzhou and Youzhou immediately. If it is too late, I am afraid It is to repeat the ending of Sima Taifu."

Shangshu Wang Shen was a timid man, and when he heard the news that Wen County fell and Sima Fu was killed, he immediately became frightened.

He was originally Cao Mao's confidant, and later he gained a foothold in the court of Jin by betraying Cao Mao. After this incident spread, Wang Chen's reputation was so bad that no matter who caught Wang Chen, he would not give it to him. He is fine.

"Your Majesty, please order me to kill the king and set the course of justice for the world. Yecheng is the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom, how can it be abandoned as soon as it is abandoned? If so, how is it different from the Wei Kingdom back then?"

As soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, a person in the hall stood up and sharply accused Wang Chen of getting up.

Sima Zhao looked intently and saw Du Yu with his neck crooked, arguing with Wang Chen with a red face. The two stood together, one tall and the other thin, looking very funny.

"Yuan Kai, do you think Yecheng can be defended?" Sima Zhao calmed down, leaned forward and asked Du Yu.

After the death of Sima Yi and Sima Shi, among the generals close to the Sima family, the most reliable one was Du Yu who married Princess Gaolu. Judging from Du Yu's military command ability, it was worth Sima Yi investing in a daughter in him.

If Du Yu hadn't been in charge of Yecheng, Wen Yang would have been killed in the city long ago, let alone discussing whether to move the capital now.

"Your Majesty, I think that the city of Yecheng is deep and deep, and that the Zhangshui River can support it. Of course, you can stick to it. However, Your Majesty needs to mobilize all the troops in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou. I think that the defense of Yecheng is the backing of the army. If it is as good as before If we fight on our own, no matter how strong the city is, it will be destroyed by the enemy."

Du Yu said confidently.

During the post-Three Kingdoms period, Yang Hu and Du Yu were famous generals in the state of Jin. Sima Zhao and Sima Yan also relied on them to survive the famous Eastern Wu general Lu Kang. Du Yu even sent troops to destroy Wu from Jingzhou. He made great achievements in battle.

Of course, these are just Du Yu's military exploits in history, Sima Zhao is not clear now, but in the case of generals withered, he can only trust Du Yu.

Jia Chong was among the crowd, and when he heard Sima Zhao, Wang Chen, and Du Yu's answers, he thought about it.

From Sima Zhao's vacillating expression, he had already guessed that the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom might repeat Luoyang's old trick, leaving a general guarding Yecheng, and then fled by himself.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that Wang Chen can still stand and live in the court hall of the Jin Kingdom when he uttered such dejected words that shake the morale of the army.

There may be two reasons why Sima Zhao is still hesitating, one is not sure where to flee?The second is that I am embarrassed to say the word escape in public.

Thinking of this, Jia Chong hurriedly stepped forward and remonstrated loyally: "Your Majesty, I have objections. I think that although Du Yuankai's words are reasonable, it may lead me to a very dangerous place. Although Yecheng is dangerous, But if the whole army sticks to one place, and the Ji, Qing, and You prefectures in the rear are in turmoil, even if they hold Yecheng, they will be powerless to restore the country's situation."

"Therefore, the best way is to order a general who is good at fighting, to sit in Yecheng to hold Liu thief, and then His Majesty will find an ideal place where he can attack and retreat, and move to support Yecheng from the back. In this way, I have a strong general before the Great Jin Dynasty, Your Majesty behind me, and His Highness the Crown Prince behind to consolidate the rear, so nothing can go wrong."

Jia Chong rolled his eyes and gestured while speaking. When he first started speaking, he was not very confident, but when he saw Sima Zhao's approving gaze, his confidence gradually increased.

People are greedy for life and afraid of death.

The same goes for Sima Zhao.

Others see Sima Zhao as the wise and mighty emperor of the Jin Dynasty, while Jia Chong sees Sima Zhao as a middle-aged man with a vicious but cowardly temperament.

"Gong Zeng said it is reasonable. The further north you go, the longer the supply line of the Shu army. In this way, the more loopholes we can take advantage of in the Great Jin Dynasty. When the Youzhou cavalry of His Royal Highness the Prince goes south in the autumn and winter, then Cut off the Shu army's rear supply line in one fell swoop, and the opportunity to turn defeat into victory is at hand."

"Your Majesty, I agree with Jia Shizhong's words, and implore Your Majesty to send a good general to guard Yecheng. I am willing to share weal and woe with Your Majesty, and persist in resisting Shu until the last moment."

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees."

With Jia Chong's start, the smart people among the officials also realized that the Jin emperor in front of them didn't want to stick to Yecheng, but wanted to run away, but it was hard to say out of face. Just come out.

Since this is the case, they, the courtiers, should stand up and help Sima Zhao express his feelings.

"Yuan Kai, there is no good general in the court, look at the important task of defending the city of Ye..." Sima Zhao listened to everyone's flattery, and finally a stone fell from his heart.

Just now he was afraid that his subordinates would support Du Yu's proposal and stick to Yecheng. If that happened, Sima Fu's fate would be his fate.
