The last three kingdoms

Chapter 574
"What? The Lord has decided not to pursue Sima Yan's murder of his father and seizing the throne?" Upon hearing the news, Liu Yin was visibly startled.

In Liu Yin's view, this is the only chance to get rid of Sima Yan. If this good opportunity is lost, it will be far from easy to find Sima Yan's bad luck.

"The prince should think twice." Liu Yin said meaningfully.There are some words that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. The main reason for executing Sima Yan himself was not because of Sima Yan’s crime of killing his father, but because of the threat he would pose to Sima You’s throne in the future. To put it bluntly, those crimes are just an excuse That's all.

Sima You shook his head lightly, and said: "The queen mother has already intervened in this matter, so I can't say anything more. It's not my original intention for my brothers to kill each other. Mr. Wen, let's stop this matter now. The most urgent thing is how to bury the father, and I ask you to pay more attention to it."

Now that Sima You had made up his mind, Liu Yin didn't want to say anything else, he just sighed secretly, but he didn't know what the consequences would be if he missed this opportunity, would Sima Yan put away his fangs and claws and give himself up ordinary?

Sima Zhaogui is the King of Jin, so the funeral must not be ambiguous. Everyone knows that Sima Zhao's status in Wei State is unique. Even those princes and kings in the county cannot be compared with Sima Zhao. The funeral, first of all, is to announce the status of the Sima family to the world, and secondly, after the funeral, it will be Sima You's turn to inherit the throne. A high-standard funeral will inevitably have a certain impact on Sima You's succession.

Liu Yin could only get rid of distracting thoughts and devote his main energy to the funeral of Sima Zhao. At the same time, he was also secretly wary that before Sima You completed the succession ceremony, there were still variables. The forces inside are deeply intertwined, it doesn't mean that just arresting a few core figures of the Yan Party will wipe out the forces of the Yan Party.

What worries Liu Yin the most is that the foreign generals who are about to be transferred to Beijing will inevitably have a major impact on the situation in Luoyang at this time. It is still a mystery whether they can be kept out of Luoyang city.

In the early morning of the next day, when Liu Yin got up and Liu Yin got up, A Jian rushed in and reported in a deep voice: "My lord, there are troops from the Wei army in the east, south and west of Luoyang City." People and horses, look at the banners, it should be the governor of Yangzhou Shi Bao, the governor of Yuzhou Chen Qian, and the governor of Jingzhou Yanghu have all arrived."

In the past two days, the city gate of Luoyang had already been closed, and the forbidden army was already standing on the city wall, but Liu Yin did not expect that the three governors would come so quickly. It seemed that the situation was not good.

As the defense force of the capital, the Imperial Army is well-equipped and has high-quality soldiers, but its number is weak. The Imperial Army consists of the Habayashi, Huben, and Qimen armies. The total number is between [-] and About [-], compared with the foreign governor, the military strength is far from an order of magnitude. There is a [-] army under the command of the Yangzhou governor Shi Bao alone.Of course, it is impossible for Shi Bao to bring all the soldiers and horses from Yangzhou, but each of the three major governors brought a part of the soldiers and horses, which is still quite large together.

More importantly, these field troops have been fighting outside for a long time, and their combat ability and quality are far from comparable to the pampered Forbidden Army. The early arrival of these troops really caught Liu Yin off guard.

"It came so fast!" Liu Yin murmured secretly. Although he expected that Sima Yan would definitely send troops to Beijing, the speed was unexpected. , Sima Yan's trick may have succeeded.

Liu Yin immediately left for the city tower, and at the same time conveyed the message to Sima You.

The sky is very gloomy, and there seems to be no sunlight in the east. It stands to reason that at this time, it is already the time when the sun rises in the east, but now the earth is covered in darkness, and the air is filled with a murderous air.However, as he ascended the heights and approached the distance, Liu Yin could still vaguely see the vastness of the Wei army's formation, people neighing and horses screaming, orderly, looking from the top of the city, densely packed, layer upon layer, boundless.

This is just a group of people. Judging by the banner, it is the people of Yangzhou Governor Shi Bao. One group of people is so mighty and majestic. If the other two groups are added together, it will be even more spectacular.

The troops of the Wei army hadn't attacked the city yet. Judging from the many burning torches, the Wei army should have come here in the starry night and on multiple journeys. No wonder they were able to arrive in Luoyang so quickly.

However, Luoyang and Huainan are far apart, with a distance of thousands of miles, Shibao cannot fly so quickly even with wings. When the incident happened, Shi Bao, Yang Hu and others had already left. It seems that Sima Yan's calculations can be so far-reaching, it is indeed terrifying.

The enemy would launch an attack at any time, so Liu Yin had to order all the imperial guards guarding Luoyang City to enter the first line of defense on the city wall, put on an active defense, and prepared to defend Luoyang City to the death.

Without reinforcements from one soldier to another, all the faction of the You Party can do for Luoyang now is to defend to the death, but there is no hope in the defense, which makes the guards of the city still desperate.

Although it is said that Sima You temporarily handed over the command to Liu Yin, in Liu Yin's view, it is indeed unbelievable to lead an enemy army in an unfamiliar land. Yin was also unable to judge the level of combat power and morale. For an unknown war, Liu Yin still had no bottom in his mind.

Sima You quickly rushed to the top of the city tower. Seeing the army outside the city as dense as ants and as many as locusts, he couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath. Regardless of Sima You's position as General Wei, But in fact, he has never been to the battlefield in person, let alone fought a large-scale battle. Seeing the army outside the city rushing towards him like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, he really felt a little apprehensive.

"Mr. Wen, how should we fight this battle?" After this period of time, Sima You almost relied on Liu Yin as his right and left hand. Regardless of martial arts or martial arts, he had to ask Liu Yin for his plan. To resolve the crisis for him, Sima You panicked this time when the army came under the pressure. Naturally, Liu Yin was the first one to ask for help.

Liu Yin was still calm and unhurried as always, saying: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, they want to take Luoyang City, it is not that simple."
