The last three kingdoms

Chapter 881
Wen Yang must have pushed himself to the opposite side of Shu by doing this, but Wen Yang didn't care, he didn't care what attitude the Shu people would have at all, what he cared about was Sima Yan's attitude.

This time Sima Yan sent an imperial envoy to inspect Jizhou, which also meant to beat Wenyang. During the conversation with Wenyang, the imperial envoy revealed intentionally or unintentionally that the imperial court was dissatisfied with Yanghu, thinking that he had secretly communicated with Liu Yin, a native of Shu. A song is a disgrace to the country.

"Hu people, it's just a problem of ringworm and scabies. Don't look at them now, they are no different from thieves and rebels. After two years, they will naturally disappear. Shu people are our big problem. They get Guanzhong, came to seize Bingzhou and Jizhou again, and gradually eroded my country in the Jin Dynasty. Such wolfish ambitions must be guarded against. Governor Wen, this time His Majesty entrusted you with military and political affairs in Jizhou, it is His Majesty's trust in you, you But don't let your majesty's trust go." The imperial envoy said meaningfully.

Wen Yang was in a cold sweat after hearing this.At this time, the envoy sent by Luo Xian appeared in the camp of the Jin army by coincidence. In order to prove to the imperial envoy that he had no other intentions, Wen Yang tore up Luo Xian's letter without saying a word. If it is smashed, it will be pushed out of the gate and beheaded to show the public in the future.

The two countries are fighting each other, even if they don’t kill each other, Wen Yang uses such a tough attitude to show his loyalty to Sima Yan. In fact, from a strategic point of view, Wen Yang also agrees with Yang Hu’s strategy. After all, the Xiongnu is very powerful now. It is not the kind of bandits and bandits that the imperial envoy said. It is in the interests of the Jin army to maintain superficial cooperation with the Shu army. As for the expulsion of the Hulu, that is another matter.

But if Yang Hu dares to do this, Wen Yang may not. With Yang Hu's status, even if someone slanders him, he can only whisper behind his back, but Wen Yang is different. Maybe he will be labeled as a traitor and end up decapitated.

Therefore, Wen Yang desperately needs to draw a clear line with the Shu people at present, and show his feelings to the imperial envoy by destroying books and beheading envoys.

The imperial envoy greatly appreciated Wen Yang's actions, and left Yecheng contentedly, and returned to Luoyang to report to Sima Yan.After Sima Yan heard the news, Longxin was overjoyed, and he named Wenyang General Jianwei, and also conferred the title of Yiyang Bo, and enfeoffed thousands of households in the city.

Wen Yang was flattered, he had fought in Jizhou for such a long time, and made countless military exploits, and he didn't see any reward from the imperial court. He just beheaded an envoy from the Kingdom of Shu, and the imperial court gave Wen Yang a special reward. While unbelievable, it also completely strengthened the idea of ​​​​drawing a clear line with Shu.

Wen Yang is just a general, he is good at marching and fighting, but he knows nothing about politics. This incident made Wen Yang feel lucky that he took the right step, but at the same time, he secretly broke out in a cold sweat. The water in politics is very deep, and Wen Yang is really a little scared. If you make a wrong step, it is often impossible to recover.

Jin and Shu have turned against each other, so Liu Xuan is naturally happy to see it succeed. What he fears most is that the Jin and Shu armies will join hands. In this case, Liu Xuan will be very difficult to deal with. It would be easier for Liu Xuan to deal with the war, and it would be even better if the Jin and Shu armies could fight each other.

However, it is clear that Liu Xuan made the wrong wishful thinking. Even though Wen Yang used a rather bad attitude to destroy books and kill envoys, Luo Xian still maintained restraint. He kept Liu Yin's confession in mind and maintained a peaceful relationship with the Jin army as much as possible. , although Luo Xian is also very angry, but a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans. At this critical moment, Luo Xian must not just ignore Hu Daye for the sake of momentary righteous indignation.

Now the number one enemy of the Shu army is the Xiongnu, Luo Xian must put this position right, and concentrate all his strength to deal with the Huns. As for the arrogant and rude Wenyang, he is not busy dealing with him now, but it does not mean that Luo Xian will be in the future I will not avenge this arrow.

The following battles have always occurred between the Shu army and the Xiongnu, and between the Jin army and the Xiongnu. However, the Shu and Jin armies generally fight on their own, and do not communicate with each other or contact each other. , The Jin army watched from the sidelines, neither extending a helping hand, nor adding insult to injury.

This kind of relationship has been maintained for several years. Occasionally, some conflicts will break out between the Jin and Shu armies in order to compete for territory, but Luo Xian has always been more restrained. As long as there is a conflict between the Jin army, it is generally limited to a small team, at most one piece of music. If the conflict expands, Luo Xian will order the Shu army to retreat in order to avoid the expansion of the situation.

Of course, Wenyang is also quite clear. Although he took the initiative to draw a clear line with the Shu army, he would not foolishly launch a full-scale attack on the Shu army. At present, their biggest enemy is the Huns. Even if the court doesn't think so, but As a front-line commander, Wen Yang still has a clearer understanding than this. Therefore, on the premise that the Shu army does not actively provoke the Jin army and does not violate the interests of the Jin army, Wen Yang still avoids fighting with the Shu army.

This awkward relationship between the two parties has been maintained like this, but they still spared no effort in dealing with the Huns.

The melee in Jizhou has been going on and on. The three parties each control a part of the territory, attack each other, and fight endlessly. Although large-scale battles like the Battle of Julu have never happened again, smaller-scale battles have always been there. This kind of battle has never stopped, and this kind of battle even happens every day. The land of Jizhou is full of wolf smoke, and within a thousand miles, there are only bones, and it is difficult to find people.

The Shu Army's Central Army Corps and Zuo Army Corps finally joined forces in Jinyang, and their strength suddenly increased to more than 11, clearly overwhelming the Jin Army in terms of strength.

If the two armies of Shu and Jin were to fight for Jinyang, it is really unknown who will win and who will lose, but the Shu army is obviously superior, and if they have strength, they have the right to speak. Jinyang finally followed Liu Yin's orders The meaning was divided, and both sides ended the Jinyang dispute with a rational and restrained attitude.

Of course Liu Yin hopes that Jinyang can be included in the territory of the Shuhan, but the most urgent task now is to deal with Liu Yuan with all his strength and not give the Huns any respite, even if the Shu army is quite sure to win Jinyang Liu Yin didn't dare to take this risk. Once Jin and Shu went to war in an all-out way, the consequences would probably be disastrous.

The Jinyang matter was settled smoothly, Liu Yin did not take too much rest, and immediately dispatched troops and generals, assembled the army, and prepared to march eastward to Jizhou.
