Chapter 704 Punishment
In Luoyang Chaotang, there is an endless debate.

"Yang Hu loses his teacher and humiliates the country, misses a good opportunity, and should be executed according to the law!" Taizhong doctor Wang Lanzuo said.

Wang Lan was also born in the Wang family of Langya. Wang Xiang has the reputation of lying on the ice and begging for carp, and Wang Lan also has an allusion of "Wang Lan fights for the poison".

The famous "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi is his great-grandson.

Yang Hu wanted to kill Wang Rong, but Wang Rong was the beloved of the Wang family of Langya, and both sides were tearing their faces apart.

Sima Yan was also furious in his heart.

At such a good time, Yang Hu has [-] troops, Xiling has [-], and Sima Ni has [-] cavalry on the road, while Lu Kang only has [-]. Even if Jiangling cannot be broken, at least they can survive until Sima Ni arrives at the battlefield, right?

Sima Yan believed that the battle was a surefire one, so he brought Sima Yi up to make some military achievements.

But in just two months, the war was over.

The Jin army suffered a disastrous defeat, and the Bu brothers were wiped out...

How many years has Sima Yan been on the throne?
What's more serious is that this battle almost wiped out all the military resources Jing and Yu had accumulated over the years.

One ebbs and another, Jin's strategy of first going south and then going west has almost declared bankruptcy.

Instead, Wu's morale soared, and Sun Hao clamored for revenge in Jianye.

"Since Your Majesty took the throne, there has never been such a big defeat. If you don't kill Yanghu, how can you rectify the laws of the country and people's hearts?" Xun Xu also stood up at this time.

Xun Xu was originally an official of Cao Shuang, but when Cao Shuang fell, Xun Xu took refuge in Sima's family and was underestimated by the people of the time.

The Sima family recruited Yang Hu many times, but Yang Hu refused, which was praised by the people of the time.

So Xun Xu has been secretly jealous of Yang Hu.

Now is a good time to add insult to injury.

Sima Yan's eyes flickered. Although he was angry, he knew that Yang Hu could not be killed.

First, his reputation was too heavy, and Sima Yan didn't want to bear the stigma of killing celebrities without authorization.

Second, he knew Yang Hu's talent. Before the battle started, Yang Hu wrote repeatedly that the battle of Xiling had not come yet, so he should not move lightly.

But the world is developing too fast, who knows that Sun Hao does not follow common sense, and dares to risk Jingzhou's failure to pierce the window paper.

Lu Kang managed to turn the tide in an extremely unfavorable situation, which also greatly exceeded Sima Yan's expectations.

The feud between Taishan Yang's family and Langya Wang's family is just in line with Sima Yan's desire to divide the gentry.

In a blink of an eye, with a decision in his mind, he looked at Shi Bao, but Shi Bao closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

He could only look at Jia Chong.

Jia Chong said in a loud voice: "I think it is impossible. This defeat is due to our army's lack of preparation and hasty attack. Although Yang Hu was at fault, he was not guilty of death. He killed the governor of a town without authorization. What do the other towns think? Defeat is a common occurrence in military affairs, may Your Majesty learn from it."

If someone came out to give the steps, Sima Yan would just go down the steps, "That's exactly the case. It's better to make achievements than to make mistakes. Uncle Yang will work hard after this defeat. You may as well watch the results and wait for the future."

Wang Lan, who was in his 60s, was an old man, knowing that Sima Yan didn't want to kill Yanghu, and it would be futile to persuade him, so he kept silent.

"However, the responsibility for the defeat must be punished. Jingzhou Inspector Yang Zhaoyong has no plans, and he demoted his post to serve the people. Yuzhou Inspector Wang Rong—" Sima Yan turned his eyes to Wang Xiang, Wang Lan and others.

Wang Rong has a lot of black material.

During his tenure as the governor of Yuzhou, he dispatched his subordinates to privately build courtyard houses, which exceeded the regulations.

This defeat also had a lot to do with him. If the Yuzhou soldiers could listen to Yang Hu's command, Jiangling might be the first to break through.

"Wang Rong, governor of Yuzhou, was demoted to prefect of Shanyang, and governor of Jingzhou, Yang Hu, was demoted to general of Pingnan, to do the affairs of governor of Jingzhou." After all, Sima Yan still didn't want to offend Langya Wang too much.

A bowl of water is level.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Jia Chong and Xun Xu took the lead in bowing.

Sima Yan didn't have much confidence in the strategy of first going south and then going west.

Unlike Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, what he wants more is to keep the one-acre three-point land in the Central Plains.

The introversion of the Central Plains is all-round, including the gentry, the common people, and even the emperor, and behind him is Sima You, the king of Qi.

Therefore, internal stability is greater than external expansion.

Sima You's popularity has grown day by day in recent years.

Every time Sima Yan had a face-to-face meeting with him, he respected him and said every word carefully.

"Sun Hao is about to join the bandits now, do you have a good plan?" Sima Yan rubbed his forehead.

The defeat of Jingzhou also told the king and ministers of Jin a truth that Soochow still had the strength to fight.

It wasn't that Sima Yan was afraid of Sun Hao, but that he was so attached to Soochow that he couldn't move to deal with Qin.

Qin is the enemy of life and death.

The more hidden it is, the more frightening it is.

In the battle of Jingzhou, Qin State definitely has the strength to take a share, but it just doesn't make a move...

The significance of it is self-evident, they are accumulating national strength, staring at the Central Plains...

"Shouchun is tasteless. Your Majesty might as well give up Shouchun, make peace with Soochow, and form an alliance to fight against Qin thieves!" Wang Lan is indeed a Confucianist.

As soon as the words came out, Sima Yan's face darkened.

Since ancient times, cutting land for peace has been taboo.

People like Sun Hao, in particular, make an inch of progress. Give him Shouchun today, and he dares to take Xuchang tomorrow, and Sun Hao has already uttered wild words that he wants to take control of Luoyang.

"This is a disastrous statement for the country! If Shouchun is lost, Wu's army will follow the Huai River into Yingshui, and within a few years, the Central Plains will be corrupted!" Shi Bao really couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't pretend anymore.

"Shouchun must never be abandoned!" Sima Yan said in a deep voice.

Shi Bao is a supporter of the strategy of first going south and then going west. "Wu people will use their swords repeatedly, which will consume a lot of national power. Shouchun is the tomb of the Wu army! Heaven has awarded your Majesty with this merit, how can your majesty refuse to go?"

"I heard that this time Sun Hao decided to go to the imperial conquest!" Jia Chong's triangular eyes were shining brightly.

Sun Hao was not captured last time, this time Sun Hao came to give it off again.

Sima Yan looked much better.

"I suggest that Yan Xun, Qian Hong and other brave generals go south, and they must severely injure the Wu army!" Although Shi Bao pretended to be deaf and dumb in the court battle, but in terms of military strategy, he was undoubtedly the leader of the dynasty.

The meaning of the words is, don't send a few princes from the Sima family to pay gold.

This time I played really big.

Naturally Sima Yan could understand, and he jumped up, "Sun Hao should be captured and killed in this battle!"

In Jianye City.

Sun Hao was losing his temper, "Old man, how dare you disobey me, rebellion, everything!"

The old man he was talking about was naturally Ding Feng who had just returned to Jianye.

Sun Hao wanted to make a northern expedition, but Ding Feng didn't agree, so Sun Hao hit a soft nail.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can he be ruled by a courtier?" No one else dared to step forward, but Zhong Chang Shi Cen Hun had no scruples.

Sun Hao's large-scale construction projects and the extensive collection of women are all behind the scenes.

"Then what should you do?" Sun Haohong stared at Cen Hun.

Cen Hun said flatly: "You Da Sima has fought for the country all his life, and he has reached the age of retirement..."

Ding Feng is not only the great Sima, but also the left army division, ranking above the Sangong.

Jianye Wu Jun is mostly his subordinates.

No matter how tyrannical Sun Hao was, he would not dare to kick Ding Fengxie. If there was a slight mistake, he would be the emperor to the end. Sun Hao still knew who could be provoked and who could not be provoked.

Rolling his eyes, he shook his head, "Let's figure this out slowly!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Cen Hun complimented.
