The last three kingdoms

Chapter 563

With the closure of the Twelve Gates of Luoyang, the air in the entire capital suddenly became tense, and Sima Yan, who was in the Jin Palace, couldn't help but frown. What he fears most now is the military power in Sima You's hands. Therefore, the secret of not mourning is because they are afraid that Sima You will lead the troops to attack. Now Sima Yan only has some civil servants in the capital. It seems that there is still a feeling of powerlessness.

So when the reinforcements from the three major governors arrived, Sima Yan deliberately kept a low profile and tried not to touch Sima You as much as possible. , there's no reason why you can't bear it this time.

But what Sima Yan didn't expect was that on the second day after Sima Zhao's death, Sima You suddenly led troops into trouble, not only blocked the twelve city gates of Luoyang, but also imposed martial law on the Luoyang city army, and launched an attack. Jin Palace's attempt.

The defense of the Jin Palace is independent of the Imperial Guard system, and since last night, Sima Yan has secretly dispatched the family soldiers in his mansion to come to the Jin Palace to strengthen the defense of the Jin Palace.But Sima Yan is still a little worried. Although the current defense force of the Jin Palace is much higher than before, Sima Yan does not think that they have the ability to compete with Sima You's imperial army. It is indeed very difficult to attack.

The storm in Luoyang seems to be intensifying, and those members of the Yan party naturally have a keen sense of politics. After sensing the abnormal situation, most of them rushed to the city with their family troops. After entering the Jin Palace, such as Taiwei Wang Xiang, Sikong Xunyi, Attendant Xun Xu, Shangshu Shantao and others immediately moved closer to Sima Yan of the Jin Palace when they saw that the limelight was not right.

Situ He Zeng hated Sima You even more, the number of family soldiers sent to the Jin Palace this time was several times that of the others, and the others might have left some manpower to guard the house, but He Zeng came out in full force and sent He Zeng The government left it behind, regardless of whether it was ignored, but there was an aura of smashing the pot and selling the iron.

He Zeng expressed reputably that he is willing to do his best to help the son tide over the difficulties, and he will not share the sky with Sima You, Marquis of Wuyang.

Everyone knows that He Zeng was so angry that Zhongchuan snatched his relatives in front of the He family, and Sima You assisted him, causing the He family to suffer great humiliation, lose all face, and become a laughing stock in Luoyang's official circle. This made He Zeng very hurt.

After encountering such a setback, He Shao fell into a slump, and his whole body became decadent. Apart from calling out "Princess Yiyang" a few times, he locked himself in a dark room, and did not allow others to enter if he did not come out.

"Sima You, Wen Chuan, I will definitely repay this shame and humiliation, and you will definitely have to pay the price!" He Zeng gritted his teeth and said.When he learned that Sima You had closed the gate of Luoyang, he immediately realized that this would be the moment of decisive battle. Unlike many people who were hesitant, He Zeng immediately took all the strength of He Mansion to the Jin Palace to help in the battle.

The full support of the wealthy families made Sima Yan breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless in the defense of the Jin Palace. Naturally, the walls of the Jin Palace couldn't match the tall walls of Luoyang City. On a par, even the palace walls of the imperial palace can't compare to it. Now that the people of various families and big families gather together, although there are many soldiers, they are like mobs, fighting on their own, unable to form a unified force. Obviously it is very difficult. It is difficult to compete with the troops of the Forbidden Army with strict military discipline and extraordinary combat power.

How to defend the Jin Palace was the biggest problem facing Sima Yan, so he summoned all the ministers and counselors to discuss matters in the main hall of the Jin Palace to discuss how to deal with the current critical situation.

Frankly speaking, Sima Yan is not very good at military affairs. His position in the Zhongfu Army has more of a symbolic meaning. Compared with his grandfather Sima Yi, uncle Sima Shi and father Sima Zhaolai, Sima Yan His military ability is far from his own. After all, he has never commanded any real battles, and his combat experience is completely zero.

Of course, his opponent, Sima You, was not much better. Although he was General Wei, Sima You was just a young man who had never won the championship, and he had never personally experienced the cruelty of the battlefield.But beside Sima You, there was a veteran in the battlefield like Liu Yin, who was able to command hundreds of thousands of horses and horses to fight with ease. Of course, a battle of tens of thousands of people was not a problem.

What makes Sima Yan depressed is that he doesn't understand military affairs, that's all. The courtiers and important ministers under him are all civil servants. All wilted.

Even if Jia Chong had led soldiers to fight, Jia Chong was not a general in the true sense. Facing such a disadvantaged situation, he seemed to have no good solution.After all, even on a real battlefield, winning or losing is based on strength. There is no chance that the weak will win over the strong, but they are a minority after all. On a real battlefield, strength is the most important thing. Whoever is stronger will naturally win A little bigger, now that Sima You has mobilized all the power of the Forbidden Army and occupies the absolute initiative in the capital, it is not easy for Sima Yan to counterattack.

Just when Sima Yan and a group of high-ranking members of the Yan Party were gloomy, a report suddenly came from outside: "Qi Your Majesty, something is wrong, and the troops of the imperial army have already killed outside the palace gate."

Sima Yan was taken aback in horror, and thought to himself, it came so fast!According to Sima Yan's estimation, Sima You will only be able to launch an offensive against the Jin Palace after he has completed the control of many key points in the capital. Sima You didn't seem to play his cards according to common sense. After closing the twelve city gates and cutting off the connection between the inside and outside of the city, he brazenly led his troops to attack the Jin Palace.

Surprise was nothing but surprise, but Sima Yan immediately led his men to the palace wall, ordered all the guards to put their minds on alert, put them into the first level of combat preparation, and prepared to start a life-and-death struggle with the imperial army, vowing to defend Jin Palace to the death. Safety.

Seeing from the palace wall of the Jin Palace, Sima Yan couldn't help but gasp. The streets around the Jin Palace had already been cleared of people. Already densely packed, the Jin Palace was surrounded in circles, impenetrable.
