Chapter 764 Moving the Capital
Luoyang.

Qin Jun retreated, and Sima Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

Luoyang stabilized for the time being.

But bad news came one after another.

First of all, Yang Hu remained silent after receiving the order to surrender to Soochow, and the Qin-Wu war did not start.

Secondly, the three tribes of Xianbei, who used to be docile like dogs, actually raised [-] troops to attack Youzhou!
There is also Yang Gu, the leader of the rebellion in Chen County, who claims to be a member of Yang Zheng's clan. He has gathered more than ten thousand people, and his momentum is getting bigger and bigger. More and more, in just two months, there are [-] people, known as an army of [-]...

Sima Yan, who was under pressure from internal and external troubles, was out of breath.

So he became more and more addicted to women.

Playing and singing every night, all night long.

His body was also getting more and more haggard day by day, although he was obviously less than thirty, but he gave off a lifeless look, just like the people of Sima's family.

When people are unlucky, they drink cold water and jam their teeth.

The Qin army retreated, and various involutions followed.

The Sima family also questioned Sima Yan's legitimacy.

More and more people are united around Sima You.

Sima Jun, the governor of Huaibei, directly wrote a letter, requesting that Sima You be made the emperor's younger brother.

Sima Jun was Sima Yan's uncle and the pillar of the Sima family. He was in charge of the town, had [-] to [-] troops in his hands, and made good friends with Lu Qin, Liu Yi and others. There was a large group of people behind him.

"Yang Gu and other thieves are nothing more than bandits. Thousands of elites can wipe them out. The only ones to worry about are the three tribes of Xianbei. However, Hebei has always been heavily defended. Murong She has come back here, and there is nothing he can do!" Jia Chong comforted Sima Yan .

However, Sima Yan's complexion was still very bad. In fact, he was more annoyed by Yang Hu, since he violated his wishes.

He also wrote a letter saying that Qin and Wu may not necessarily fight.

Of course Yang Hu is a smart person.

Surrender to Soochow, and the dust will settle in the north in the future. Wouldn't it be necessary to surrender again?
But now Sima Yan doesn't have the energy to move Yanghu and the Yang family.

Shi Bao cupped his hands and said: "The old minister is willing to lead Luoyang's elite to Hebei to face the three tribes of Xianbei!"

The Sima family has collapsed, and the future of the Shi family is uncertain.

Although the fourth son Shi Jun entered the Qin State, it will take some time to climb up.

And Shi Bao has some feelings for the Sima family, after all, it was Sima Yi who promoted him back then.

"If Da Sima makes a move, the three tribes of Xianbei will definitely be defeated." Jia Chong complimented.

The one who was most afraid of something happening to the Sima family was Jia Chong, who, under the name of a regicide, would fall into the hands of the Qin people who respected Cao Mao. He was afraid that he would die without a place to bury him.

At this time, Jia Chong was not interested in fighting secretly.

Sima Yan yawned, as if he didn't hear it.

"The country has suffered a big defeat, and a big victory is needed to boost people's hearts. The old minister will definitely hit the three Xianbei tribes hard, first stabilize Hebei, and then send troops south to cut off the thieves in Chenjun and Taishan! The country is difficult, your majesty can't Self-defeating, five or six out of ten of the world's population is in the Central Plains, so they might not have the strength to fight Yang Bandits, how difficult was it for the late emperor to start a business? Your Majesty should cheer up." Shi Bao said earnestly.

Sima Yan finally raised his head, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, "The prosperity of the country is entrusted to Shigong!"

"Don't you dare to do your best?"

No one prevented Shi Bao from leading the troops to fight.

Shibao would rather be short than excessive, as long as it is elite.

Scattered together eight thousand cavalry, and headed north to face the three tribes of Xianbei.

After all, Shi Bao was promoted by Sima Yi. He was brave and resourceful. When he arrived in Hebei, he was not in a hurry to attack. He wrote a letter to the three tribes of Xianbei, revisiting his old relationship, while recruiting Hebei warriors, training soldiers, and at the same time ordered Hongjianbi to clear the field. , not at war with .

The three tribes of Xianbei received Shi Bao's personal letter, and seeing the humble words, they felt that it was more profitable, and the army followed suit.

Sure enough, the state of Jin looked lifeless.

There was no human habitation everywhere, and the Jin army only dared to shrink in the city.

The three tribes of Xianbei were better at field battles and were not good at attacking cities, so they had no choice but to lead their troops to continue deep into Hebei.

Shi Bao sent letters one after another, all kinds of ecstasy soup, either to write a letter to ask them to be the king of the county, or to get married.

The three tribes of Xianbei endured humiliation under Cao Wei's crotch for decades. Once they succeeded, they felt that the Central Plains was weak and could be bullied, so they drove straight in and confronted Zhuo County with Shibao.

Shibao guarded the city, and the three tribes of Xianbei spread their teeth and claws under the city.

Shi Bao went to the city repeatedly, and persuaded the three departments to focus on the overall situation.

Sanbu also took the opportunity and the lion opened his mouth. Since it can't be obtained in Qin State, it is the same in the hands of Jin State.

Directly want the whole Youzhou.

The Jin army was filled with righteous indignation.

The people in the court were beaten so badly that they lost their temper, but in the Central Plains of Hebei, there is no shortage of bloody people.

All the generals asked for a fight one after another, but Shi Bao refused, and kept bargaining with the three departments.

After staying for more than half a month, the Xianbei people became more and more arrogant, and the Jin army was full of anger. Only then did Shi Bao summon all the generals to boost morale, and launched a surprise attack with the leading Youzhou Tuqi.

During the service, Shi Bao personally beat the drums to cheer, and his two sons, Shi Qiao and Shi Tong, took the lead.

The Jin army is united as one, like a mad tiger.

The three tribes of Xianbei were defeated. Qianhong led the cavalry to chase and kill for hundreds of miles, captured and beheaded tens of thousands of people, and obtained more than 3 horses.

The three tribes of Xianbei broke their courage and bowed their heads to Luoyang again.

Sima Yan removed Murong She from his position as Xianbei Da Shanyu.

Taking advantage of the great victory, Shi Bao went south to attack the bandits in the Central Plains.

This battle can be regarded as restoring some morale in Luoyang.

"I beg you to move the capital to Yecheng!" At the court meeting, Jia Chong's stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Now that the Qin army has retreated and has made great achievements in defeating Xianbei, Sima Yan's reputation has finally been restored.

"I think the capital should be moved to Xuchang!" Xun Xu also remonstrated.

The base camp of the Yingchuan gentry is in Xuchang.

The situation improved slightly, and Luoyang's monarchs and ministers started a new round of open and secret struggles.

"The battle of Zhuoxian County shows that the people of Hebei have the hearts of His Majesty, and Yecheng is prosperous. Taking the power of Hebei is enough to resist the Qin thieves, and can also serve His Majesty. Nearly Wancheng was acquired by the thieves, and the capital was moved to Xuchang, and they will face the Qin thieves day and night. Without the defense of Xiongguan, the cavalry of the Qin rebels can come to the city in a few days!" Jia Chong naturally had full confidence in provoking the proposal of moving the capital at this time.

"Isn't Yecheng facing the thieves day and night? Hanoi's Shangdang has fallen into the hands of the thieves, Yecheng is flat, and the Qin thieves' cavalry are coming day and night!"

"There is no stronger city in the world than Ye and Luo. Ye is backed by Hebei and Yanyu, which is strong enough to defend itself, and can be a horn of each other with Luoyang, pinching Hanoi and Shangdang."

Sima Yan rubbed his forehead.

He will definitely not go to Xuchang, the Yingchuan gentry is not reliable.

So it can only be Yecheng.

After the management of Yuan Shao and Cao Wei, Yecheng has three Jinfeng Terrace, Tongque Terrace, and Bingjing Terrace, which are extremely prosperous.

Sima Yan has already proclaimed himself emperor, so he can't live in a remote village, and he doesn't have the energy to build a new capital.

So Yecheng became the best choice.

Although the Qin army captured Shangdang, several passes in the Taihang Mountains were still in the hands of the Jin army.

If the Qin army wanted to advance from Hanoi, Luoyang could send troops to break its way back.

In fact, the reason that Yecheng is prosperous is enough to make Sima Yan's heart flutter.

The current Sima Yan is no longer the Sima Yan when he first succeeded to the throne.
