The last three kingdoms

Chapter 757
The continuous fighting and fighting in the past few years has caused a serious shortage of Jin generals. Jin generals died, surrendered or rebelled, and the loss was as high as dozens. The more famous generals such as Sima Wang, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Hun, Hu Lie, Wei, Qianhong, Yang Xin, Wang Qi, Wang Hun, Su Yu, Hu Fen, Sima Liang, Xun Kai, Hu Shi, Tang Bin, etc., cannot be counted on fingers. The loss of a general has never happened in the history of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Jin, which has always boasted of its peak talent, has to face the embarrassment of having no generals available.

Yang Hu was a well-known general at the beginning of the founding of the Jin Kingdom. Whether it is military literacy or command ability, Jin is second to none at this moment, but no matter how powerful Yang Hu is, he can't stand alone. In comparison, Yang Hu had few generals to adjust, and the battle of Yecheng was fought so hard, obviously it was inseparable from this.

A clever woman can’t cook without rice. No matter how high the level of Yanghu is, no matter how strong the ability is, if there is no capable fighter under his command, he will be a pioneer in the future. He proposed that Wen Yang should be the pioneer.

At this moment, Wen Yang is serving as an idle position in the Pinglu Guard in the court. The main reason why Wen Yang has not been reused is because of the extremely disgraceful history in Huainan.

Wenyang is the second eldest son of Wenqin, the governor of Yangzhou in Wei State and former general Wenqin.Wen Qin was brave and good at fighting, and because he was from Qiao County, he was from the same hometown as the Cao family, and he was especially loved by the powerful general Cao Shuang at that time. Wen Qin relied on Cao Shuang's power and acted arrogantly.After the Cao Shuang Group was defeated by Sima Yi, Wen Qin immediately lost his backing, was squeezed out by the Sima family, and was transferred to Yangzhou to defend Wu State. Wen Yang was at the same time as his father.

In the sixth year of Jiaping, General Sima Shi abolished Wei Emperor Cao Fang.Guan Qiujian, the general of Zhendong at the time, and Wenqin, the governor of Yangzhou, were enraged by Sima Shi's disobedience, and decided to raise troops to serve the king.

In the spring of the first month of the second year of Zhengyuan, Wen Qin, Guan Qiujian, Zheng Yi, Lu Xuan, Zhang Xiu, etc. revised the Queen Mother's edict, proposed eleven crimes against Sima Shi, and raised troops in Shouchun to attack Sima Shi.Guanqiu Jian once asked Deng Ai, the governor of Yanzhou, to raise troops together, but Deng Ai beheaded the messenger, and was ordered to lead more than ten thousand troops to march to Lejia City as a bridge to meet Sima Division.Guan Qiujian ordered Wen Qin to attack Deng Ai.At this time, Sima Shi secretly led an army from Ruyang to Lejia. Wen Qin saw the sudden arrival of the army and was so astonished that he didn't know what to do.At that time, Wen Yangcai, bravely crowned the three armies, told his father: "Sima's division has not yet gained a firm foothold. If we attack now, we will surely defeat the enemy." So Wen Qin led his troops to attack, and divided up with Wen Yang to attack Sima at night. division.

Wen Yang led the strong men to the front of the stronghold, beat drums and shouted Sima Shi's name, and Sima Shi's whole army shook.When Master Sima cut a tumor on his eye, someone advised him not to travel far and asked Taiwei Sima Fu to replace him.Because this is an important battle, Sima Shi decided to go out with illness.Wenyang attacked suddenly, Master Sima was shocked, his injured eyeball burst out from the sarcoid sore, and the pain was unbearable; but Master Sima was afraid of disturbing the morale of the army, so he had to bite the head of the quilt and endured it, and was bitten to pieces.Wen Yang made noise all night, but Wen Qin still didn't come to join him. After dawn, Wen Yang saw that the Wei army's soldiers and horses were strong, so he had to retreat.

After Wen Yang left, Sima Division, who had already had his eyeballs burst out and was bleeding everywhere, ordered the generals to chase after him. At this time, Wen Qin was going to lead the army back to Shouchun. The rest of them rushed into the enemy's formation together, invincible, and then led the troops away.Then Sima Division sent Zuo Chang Shi Sima Ban to lead eight thousand wings to come. Wen Yang single-handedly rushed into the formation of thousands of cavalry, killing and wounding more than a hundred people in a blink of an eye, and entered and exited six or seven times.

After Guanqiu Jian defeated Shouchun, Wen Yang and Wen Qin surrendered to Wu.In April of the second year of Ganlu, Zhuge Dan, the general of Wei Guo Zhendong, rebelled against Sima Zhao in Shouchun, and Wu Guo ordered Wen Qin, his father and son, Quan Duan, Tang Zi and others to support Shouchun.In January of the third year of Ganlu, the battle situation in Shouchun was very unsatisfactory. Zhuge Dan had a bad relationship with Wenqin, and became more suspicious in an emergency.So in the end, Zhuge Dan killed Wenqin.Wen Yang and Wen Hu led the army in the small town, and when they heard the news of their father's death, they were filled with grief and indignation, and they defected to Sima Zhao.

After Wen Yang and Wen Hu surrendered, General Wei asked to kill the two brothers. Sima Zhao said: "Wen Qin committed a heinous crime, and his son should of course be killed. Now his two brothers have nowhere to go, so they joined our army; besides, If the city is not broken, if we kill them, the defenders will be determined to defend them, which will be disadvantageous to our army." So Sima Zhao pardoned the two men for their death crimes, recommended Wen Yang and Wen Hu as generals, bestowed the Marquis of Guannei, and let The two led hundreds of cavalry to patrol the city and shouted to the inside of the city. As a result, morale in the city was low. Soon, Shouchun City was captured.The Wenyang brothers returned to Luoyang with Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao made a golden statement, promised not to pursue Wen Yang's crimes, and naturally he would not make a mistake, but Wen Yang's capricious behavior was still cast aside behind his back, especially because he indirectly caused Master Sima's sudden death, and was hated by members of the Sima family , For a long time, Wen Yang only served as an idle position in the Pinglu Guards, and has never been reused again.

But Wen Yang's bravery is also well-known, and Yang Hu knows how powerful he is, so he named him to be the pioneer.

When Sima Yan received Yang Hu's seal, he couldn't help hesitating. He hated Wen Yang very much. It was enough for his father to treat him kindly to such a capricious villain, let alone Sima Yan. Yan is extremely worried about Wen Yang's character, so how dare he give him the military power.

But now that the situation in Hebei is tense and the court is employing people again, Yang Hu has made clear in his statement that no one but Wen Yang will be named, which makes Sima Yan very entangled, so he has to ask Jia Chong for advice.

Jia Chong smiled slightly and said: "When the country is in crisis, we should not stick to one pattern. If your majesty is not at ease with Wen Yang, I can try it out."

Sima Yan was overjoyed and immediately sent Jia Chong to Wenyang's home.

Since the death of his brother Wen Hu, Wen Yang has been living alone in a house in the south of Luoyang City. Due to years of disrepair, the house has been dilapidated. Since returning to Luoyang from Huainan, Wen Yang has been keeping a low profile. None of them married wives, drinking every day to soothe their sorrows, and doing nothing.

Jia Chong has never been to Wen Yang's house, but this is perfectly normal. Jia Chong is a big hit in the court, and he is too lazy to make friends with low-ranking officials like Wen Yang. Seeing that Wenyang's mansion is so dilapidated, he couldn't help but be surprised.
