The last three kingdoms

Chapter 917
"When the weather is in order, I am ordered by you: the governors of Hebei's military forces, Jupinghou, and Taifu Yanghu will launch troops to crusade against Shu rebels today, and will be appointed as the governor of the rebels, and the troops and horses of all routes will be restrained. Hebei and the two states will be recovered. Wrong. Here it is.”

The imperial envoy sent by the emperor read the emperor's imperial edict loudly above, and Yang Hu Wenyang and other officials knelt and listened below. Sima Yan's edict was very simple, that is, to add Yang Hu as the governor of rebellion, and immediately start a war against Shu , Recovered Ji and two states.

Although Sima Yan's order was simple, to Yang Hu's ears, he frowned. He had just gone through the battle against the Huns, and the Jin army's current strength was very exhausted, and it was in urgent need of rest. Land is scarce. In other words, the situation of the Jin army at this time is simply unable to launch a war with Shu. Sima Yan's eagerness to regain his homeland is understandable, but fighting is not a child's play. Without sufficient preparations, how can he win? The victory of the war.

According to the normal procedure, after the imperial envoy read out the imperial edict, it was Yanghu who accepted the edict to thank him, but the imperial envoy waited for a long time, but there was no movement, and the imperial envoy became a little anxious. Could it be that Yanghu wanted to resist the edict and not obey it?The imperial envoy had no choice but to cough loudly and said, "Teacher Yang, accept the order."

Yang Hu was really a little distracted just now, and there was such a cold scene. At this time, he came back to his senses, quickly received an order to thank him, and hosted a banquet for the imperial envoy.

After sending the imperial envoy away, Yang Hu immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, and an edict issued by Sima Yan quickly pushed the situation in Jizhou, which had already eased, to the cusp of the storm.

"Everyone, His Majesty has issued a decree to start a war against Shu. I have called you here. I just want to hear your opinions. You can speak freely without restraint."

The generals were silent at first, and Zhou Zhi took the lead in saying: "Governor, since our army entered Jinyang at the beginning of the year, we have been fighting continuously without rest, and our army is extremely exhausted. I'm afraid there is no chance of winning."

Chen Yuan also said: "Our army has been fighting continuously, and the military supplies are also seriously lacking. The food and grass are insufficient, and the armors and armors are also damaged and urgently need to be repaired. If the war starts at this time, the logistics supplies will be unsustainable and there will be many difficulties."

Most of the generals also echoed their voices. The general opinion is that the Jin army is not prepared enough and it is not suitable to go to war.

Yang Hu looked at Wen Yang and said, "Wen Inspector, what do you think?"

Wen Yang pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty has orders, I'm afraid it's not easy to disobey? Although our army is exhausted, the Shu army is also fighting continuously, and it is more exhausted than our army. Our army supplies are scarce, but at any rate the supply line is short. With the support from Luoyang, the Shu army transported food from Guanzhong for thousands of miles, which can only be more difficult than ours. The general thinks that maybe now is the best time to eliminate the Shu army. If this opportunity is missed, wait The Shu people have established a firm foothold in Jizhou, and they are full-fledged, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to destroy in the future."

Yang Hu sighed softly, and said: "Since the Huns' rebellion, the people of the Li people in various places in Hebei have been deeply troubled by wars, homeless, hungry, killed by Hu people, poor and sick, and died on the road. There are countless people who starved to death without enough food. Jizhou, once a prosperous and prosperous land, is now full of bones, and it is unbearable to hear chickens and dogs barking for thousands of miles. Now the war is at an early stage of peace, and the people of the world are looking forward to a peaceful and prosperous world. , if the war breaks out again, and I don’t know how many Li and Shu will suffer disaster, as the parents and officials of the people, how can we bear it?”

Wen Yang said: "The governor loves the people like a son, and cares about the people. This is the blessing of the people in the world. It's just that your Majesty's orders are like mountains, and his heart to seek Shu is even firm. If you refuse to follow orders, you will definitely be framed by villains in the court." , the career of the governor is worrying."

Yang Hu smiled indifferently and said: "The general's orders are not acceptable. Now the people of Jizhou are in urgent need of rest and recuperation. Your Majesty just doesn't know the military conditions and people's sentiments in Jizhou, so you have this order. If your Majesty understands the real situation of Jizhou, there will be different opinions." Thoughts. As for going to war with Shu, that is also inevitable, but the time is not yet ripe, if we can postpone it for a year or two, when our army has enough food and ready for battle, it will not be too late to go on the campaign.”

"I'm afraid that His Majesty and those important officials in the court may not be able to wait in time." Wen Yang said with a little worry.

Yang Hu calmly said: "It's okay, I will express my feelings to Your Majesty, and explain the interests and interests to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the Lord of the Holy Spirit, so I will certainly not be disrespectful to the people."

"But..." Wen Yang was about to speak again, but Yang Hu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said firmly: "I have made up my mind, and you all have no more to say. It is up to man to make things happen, and God to make things happen. I, Yang Hu Ask yourself that you are worthy of the imperial court and the people of the world, as for the outcome, the Son of Heaven will decide."

So Yang Hu wrote the memorial overnight, and sent someone to send it to Luoyang with a speedy horse of six hundred miles.

"Sizzle!"

Sima Yan couldn't hide his anger, he tore the memorial that Yang Hu had just presented in two, and threw it down the steps.

"Bold Yanghu, proud of his merits, dares to openly disobey my will, and asks me to understand the people's sentiments and be sympathetic to the people. Does the emperor need him to teach me how to do it?"

Jia Chong, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, slowly picked up the memorial that had become two halves, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it is not worthwhile to spoil the dragon's body because of such a trivial matter."

Today is not the day of the Great Dynasty, so Sima Yan did not go to the palace, but only met Jia Chong, Chen Qian, Yang Jun and other officials from Shangshutai, Sima Jun and others in the Chaoyang Palace of the harem. The discussion in the apse revolved around the memorial that Yang Hu had just handed over.

Originally Sima Yan was in a good mood, but after reading the memorial, he became furious and tore Yang Hu's memorial in half.

All the ministers were taken aback, Sima Yan rarely lost his composure like this, presumably Yang Hu's memorial offended Sima Yan very much, which made Sima Yan so angry.

Everyone didn't see the content of the memorial, so they were naturally at a loss. Only Jia Chong picked up the memorial first and glanced at it. Although Yang Hu's memorial was relatively long, the general content Jia Chong glanced at. I understand, it's no wonder Sima Yan is so angry. Yang Hu not only refused to accept Sima Yan's will to fight against Shu, but instead advised Sima Yan to be sympathetic to the people, rest and recuperate, and suspend the use of troops against Shu.

Jia Chong thought to himself, it seems that this Yang Hu really angered Sima Yan, even if he has made great contributions, no one can protect him this time, should he make trouble?
