The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1032 Three Edicts
"Yanghu, how dare he resist the order?" Sima Yan's face darkened.

Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only Zheng Chong and Yang Hu had a good relationship. This time when he left Jizhou, it was Yang Hu who Zheng Chong personally went to Nanyang to persuade. Said: "Your Majesty, Taifu Yang failed to dispatch troops in time, there must be something hidden in it, please Your Majesty to investigate in detail."

Jia Chong sneered, and said: "Is there any secret that is more important than the fall of Hanoi? In my opinion, Taifu Yang is supporting his own self-respect and disobeying orders. And this is not the first time."

The first time Yanghu resisted the decree that Jia Chong referred to was Sima Yan's order to go to war against Shu State a year ago. Yanghu used various reasons to evade it, and Sima Yan was so angry that he asked Sima Jun to replace him. Yang Hu's job.Of course, everyone knows this result well, otherwise Yang Hu would not have to be transferred from Nanyang, where the situation is relatively stable, to Jizhou to fight the fire.

It's just that this fire is not enough to extinguish it, on the contrary, it has a tendency to burn more and more.In order to be able to gain a firm foothold around Yecheng, Yang Hu proposed trench tactics to restrain the advantages of the Shu army.

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Hu to act arbitrarily. Before implementing the plan, he had reported this matter to Sima Yan, and he was also approved by Sima Yan at that time. He came up with an extremely safe method, and everyone praised Yang Hu for his strategy.

However, as the situation in Hanoi changed, Yang Hu became the target of public criticism. Even his trench strategy was questioned by many people.Originally, Zheng Chong's explanation made Sima Yan's face slightly relaxed, but Jia Chong's words made Sima Yan's brows frowned again.

Zheng Chong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, right and wrong are self-determined. Taifu Yang is loyal to the country and serves the battlefield. How can it be destroyed? In my opinion, His Majesty can issue another edict to clarify the benefits and disadvantages. I believe Taifu Yang will be able to judge the situation. Sent troops to Hanoi."

Sima Yan thought about it, and now he can rely on not many people, Yang Hu is one of them, and he is also the most important one, if Sima Yan doesn't use Yang Hu, I really don't know the difference Who else can Sima Yan count on?

So Sima Yan issued another edict and sent it to Yecheng quickly.

Although the Shu army controlled most of Hanoi, they were basically in the west of Hanoi, and the eastern area of ​​Hanoi was still under the control of the Jin army. North, they can reach Yecheng smoothly.

Although the large-scale construction of trenches around Yecheng blocked Yang Hu's sources of information, it is impossible for Yang Hu to be unaware of such a major event as Liu Yin's attack on Hanoi.Even if Yang Hu really didn't know much about the situation in Hanoi, Sima Yan's first edict had already been issued.

"Liu Yin actually went to attack Hanoi?" Yang Hu seemed a little surprised when he first received the news.

But thinking about it carefully, this is also a normal thing. Liu Yin was blocked in Yecheng, and if he wanted to open a new situation, he had to find another way.

It seems that Liu Yin's "path" still chose Hanoi County.Ma Long was defending along the river in Qingzhou, and there were heavy troops stationed in Tongguan. If the Shu army wanted to seek a breakthrough, marching from Hanoi County would be a good choice.

"It seems that Liu Yin is planning to encircle Wei and save Zhao?" Yang Hu said to himself.

Yecheng has become the most difficult city for the Shu army to break through, and the hundreds of miles of trenches have become a nightmare for the Shu army. Every time a trench is crossed, the Shu army will pay a considerable price, which also makes Yang Hu think about his strategy. Full of confidence.

Yecheng’s grain, grass, supplies, and military supplies are quite sufficient. When the Jin army retreated from the four central counties of Jizhou, they brought a large amount of grain, grass, and supplies to Yecheng. Even without any new supplies, the defenders of Yecheng If the army persists for three or two years, basically there will be no major problems.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land around Yecheng. Even if the Shu army completely surrounds Yecheng, as long as they can't attack the city, it will not be difficult for the Jin army and the people of Yecheng to be self-sufficient.

With such a unique advantage, it is naturally impossible for Yang Hu to abandon it lightly. What's more, the entire city of Ye is the most important stronghold of the Jin army north of the Yellow River. If it is lost, the Jin army can only retreat to the front line of the Yellow River. , In this way, the living space of the Jin State will be greatly compressed, and the chance of counterattack will be completely lost.

Sima Yan's first edict was very simple, and the words were simple and shocking. He only ordered Yanghu to send some soldiers and horses to support Dong Ai, the prefect of Hanoi, and did not mention anything else.

To send or not to send, this is a big question!

Although Yecheng has an army of [-], it has to defend all the strongholds within a range of more than [-] miles at the same time, and the number of troops is not rich. If troops are dispatched according to the order, there will definitely be a vacancy in Yecheng's defense. deadly.

In Yang Hu's strategic thinking, the safety of Ye City is the first priority. Unless the Shu army breaks through the Yellow River, Yang Hu will never be moved by it.After all, Hanoi County is just a county located on the north bank of the Yellow River, and gains and losses are not too important. Yanghu can abandon the four counties in central Shu, why can't he abandon Hanoi alone?
So after Yang Hu received the order, he did not send troops easily, but sent people to keep an eye on the changes in the situation in Hanoi.

But Hanoi's crushing defeat made Yang Hu a little unexpected. Fortunately, there is such a natural danger of the Yellow River, and the capital city of Luoyang is not in danger.

It seems that it is necessary to reply to Sima Yan. Yang Hu ordered people to send pens, inks, papers and inkstones to write a memorial to clarify the emergency of Yecheng's defense, and asked for the full cooperation of the court.

Although the situation in Hanoi is extremely dangerous, as long as the Jin army sticks to the Mengjin Ferry and Xiaopingjin Ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, it will be difficult for the Shu army to cross the Yellow River, and the current Yecheng is like being wedged into the position of the Shu army. Its existence, the Shu army is like a thorn in the throat, and dare not act rashly.

Yang Hu hopes that Sima Yan's full support and cooperation will try his best to protect Jin's last piece of land north of the Yellow River. Only in this way can Jin's society continue.

Yang Hu thought about it again and again, and was about to start writing, when suddenly the Chinese army came in and said that the imperial court had an order!It turned out that Sima Yan's second edict had arrived.

Yang Hu had no choice but to put down his pen first, and decided to accept the imperial edict first, read what Sima Yan's second edict said, and then write it before it was too late.
