Chapter 424 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])

another year later
Autumn of the 313rd year of Marquis Yan ([-])
Binh Duong
A grand banquet is being held, and Emperor Liu Cong of the Han Dynasty is celebrating his child's full moon. Even the captured Emperor Sima Chi of the Jin Dynasty is also invited to the banquet.

"Mr. Kuaiji, do you miss Jin?" At the banquet, Liu Cong smiled at Sima Chi.

Decades ago, Jin Wang Sima Zhao also asked the same question to Liu Chan, the king of Shu Han.

"Happy here, don't think about Jin." Sima Chi smiled flatteringly, fearing that Liu Cong would kill him.

"Hehehe." Liu Cong smiled with satisfaction, and then specially arranged many dancers from Luoyang to dance at the banquet.

Seeing the dance in his hometown, Sima Chi looked happy, as if he enjoyed it very much, but the ministers of the Jin Dynasty who were also captured were crying.

Seeing that the ministers of the Jin Dynasty still missed their homeland, Liu Cong was a little dissatisfied, so he deliberately made things difficult for Sima Chi, and said to Sima Chi: "Mr. Kuaiji, why don't you come and dance for us?"

"Okay." Sima Chi didn't dare to hesitate. He would do whatever Liu Cong told him to do. In order to survive, he had completely given up his character as the emperor of Jin Dynasty.

"Woooooo-"

"Yangyang Huaxia has fallen to this point!"

Although the ministers of the Jin Dynasty were unable to resist foreign enemies, they cried louder and louder one by one.

Sima Chi not only danced by himself, but also let his empress and princess dance along with him. The empress and princess of the Great Jin Emperor had been reduced to what they are today, serving as a dancer for the barbarian lord.

Not only that, but Yang Xianrong, the empress of Jin Huidi Sima Zhong, became Liu Yao's concubine, and many princesses and concubines of the Sima royal family were also rewarded to the meritorious soldiers of the Huns and Han.

After the banquet, Liu Cong ordered Sima Chi to be killed, who was no longer useful.

Later, when he was preparing for the battle in Guanzhong, he received such news: The governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun, led [-] troops, and was preparing to go south to fight Shile.

Wang Jun's strength is stronger than that of the Huns and Han, and he has such a powerful ally as Yan, so the risk factor is much higher than that of the Jin Dynasty.

……

half a year later
Jiankang (Jianye)
After the news that the captive emperor Sima Chi was killed spread throughout the world, the crown prince Sima Ye, who fled to Chang'an, succeeded to the throne.

Because Ye is connected with Ye, in order to avoid the taboo, Jianye was changed to Jiankang.

However, Yecheng did not shy away from changing its name, because Yecheng had already been brought down by the warlord Wang Jun, and Wang Jun naturally had no interest and no need to shy away from the name of the emperor of the Sima family.

Only the territory that the Jin court can control itself should be taboo, and the territory that has been occupied by the separatist forces naturally does not need to be taboo.

When Emperor Sima Ye was busy strengthening the defenses in Guanzhong and preparing for a decisive battle with the aggressive Xiongnu Han, another member of the royal family, Langya King Sima Rui, had already arrived in Jiankang City.

However, Langya King Sima Rui's journey this time was not easy. As soon as he arrived in Jiankang, a refugee uprising broke out in Jiankang, and he himself was almost killed by the refugee rebel army.

Later, relying on the Xiangyong recruited by the two brothers Wang Dun and Wang Dao of the Langya Wang family to suppress the refugee uprising army, Sima Rui was able to sit in Jiankang City safely.

After gaining a foothold in Jiangdong, Sima Rui gave the Langya Wang family a lot of privileges, so as to gain the support of the Langya Wang family, and let the Langya Wang family help him suppress Jiangdong troublesome people.

The Langya Wang clan wanted privileges, Sima Rui wanted security, and both sides got what they needed.

After stabilizing Jiangdong, Sima Rui continued to expand to Jingzhou.

The refugee regime in Jingzhou accepted Sima Rui's Zhao'an, but only two months later, these Jingzhou refugee armed forces rebelled again and fought a decisive battle with Sima Rui's general Tao Kan.

These Jingzhou refugee armed forces are not actually from Jingzhou, they were originally from Shu.

Several decades ago, the Qiang Rebellion broke out in Liangzhou, and the people of Liangzhou became refugees and flooded into Guanzhong to plunder.

The people in Guanzhong had no choice but to become refugees and flood into Hanzhong to plunder.

The people in Hanzhong had no choice but to become refugees and flood into Shu to plunder.

The people in Shu had no choice but to become refugees, flooded into Jingzhou to plunder, and even established a political power.

The people in Jingzhou had no choice but to become refugees, flooding into Jiangdong to plunder, and then they were suppressed by the Langya Wang family who came from the south.

The refugee army fought all the way from the northwest of the empire to the southeast of the empire, killing the entire Jin court.

"The main force of Shi Le went north to fight Wang Jun. This is a great opportunity for us to launch the Northern Expedition and recover Yanzhou, Yuzhou!"

At the Jiankang meeting, Zu Ti, the general of the main combat faction, yelled loudly that he could not wait to start the Northern Expedition.

Shi Le has developed rapidly in the past few years. He has captured the entire Yuzhou and Yanzhou by himself, and now he is going north to capture Wang Jun's Jizhou.

Zu Ti thought it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the decisive battle between Shi Le and Wang Jun to recover Yanzhou, Yuzhou, which was occupied by Shi Le.

However, the heavyweights at the meeting didn't say a word, and they didn't have much interest in the Northern Expedition.

In their view, the north is hopeless. Even if it is recovered now, it will still be occupied by the refugee rebel army or the Hu regime in a few years. Don't take it back.

Zu Ti felt chilled, he wholeheartedly served the country, but the rulers of the country didn't care about the survival of the country.

The Langya Wang family was all about consolidating their power in the south, Sima Rui was all about centralizing power and preventing himself from becoming a puppet of the aristocratic family, and the rest of the gentry just wanted to be drunk every day, hugging left and right, embracing beauties, drinking fine wine, and discussing metaphysics. Not willing to face the cruel situation in the north at all.

Seeing that the Langya Wang family and Sima Rui were unwilling to support him in the Northern Expedition, Zu Ti decided to spend all his family wealth and recruit Xiangyong with his own family money, and take the Xiangyong he trained with him to the Northern Expedition.

……

Changan
The Chang'an garrison had already repelled the attacks of the Huns and the Han Dynasty several times, but the real crisis lay in the party struggle in the court and the lack of food in the entire Guanzhong.

Even if the enemy has hit the foot of the city wall, the monarchs and ministers of the Chang'an court still want to fight among themselves.

Internal fighting leads to the subjugation of the country, and the subjugation of the country also requires internal fighting.

……

Xiangguo (Shile's new base camp)

Not long ago, Shi Le absorbed a humble scholar named Zhang Bin from the Central Plains as his adviser, and even established a "gentlemen's camp" to recruit talented young people from poor families.

To be honest, this "gentlemen's camp" is no different from Cao Cao's "Bronze Sparrow Terrace". They are all specially used to recruit talented people from poor families.

Shi Le thought he was imitating Liu Xiu, but in the eyes of others, he was actually imitating Cao Cao.

In the Central Plains, there are too many talented geniuses like Zhang Bin who are not reused, but are suppressed by the aristocratic family.

Therefore, when the refugee uprising army and various Hu regimes separated one side, these poor children who were depressed in the Central Plains all turned to the king they liked and devoted their allegiance to him, so as to realize their ideals and ambitions.

"In Go, there is a saying: golden horns and silver edges, grass belly."

"Yanzhou and Yuzhou are like a grass belly, and they are always facing intrusions from various forces. It is as difficult as heaven to defend."

"Jizhou is the silver border, and Youzhou is the golden corner. If you seize these two states as the general's foothold, you will be able to sit on the ground and watch the world. "

Zhang Bin used Go as an example to persuade Shi Le not to blindly expand in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The central position of Yanzhou and Yuzhou cannot be defended even if it is defeated, so it is better not to waste troops to fight these two places. Occupy Jizhou Youzhou.

"My husband is just like Gaozu's ovary." Shi Le was overjoyed and thought Zhang Bin's suggestion was very good, so he asked his nephew Shi Hu to bring Ran Liang (Shi Hu's adopted son, Ran Min's biological father) with him Go to Jizhou to attack Wang Jun, and prepare to establish a foundation belonging to the Shi family.
