Farmer of Shu Han

At this time, in Wei Guo, Chen Qun, who had the highest status in the court, had passed away half a year ago.

Of Cao Rui's four auxiliary ministers, only Sima Yi, who is leading the army abroad, remains.

Two months ago, Shang Shu Ling Chen Jiao just worshiped Situ, and happened to pass away last month.

That is to say, none of the positions of the Three Dukes is held.

Xue Ti, who had just been promoted to Shang Shuling, stepped forward, picked up the military newspaper, read it again, and handed it to Sima Fu, the right servant. After Sima Fu read it, he passed it to Jiang Ji, the Central Guard...

Seeing that all the courtiers below were silent, Cao Rui couldn't help feeling even more annoyed:

"What's the matter? You don't talk? Didn't you all boast that the Shu captives would surely retreat?"

"Now that the soldiers from Shu have invaded Bingzhou, how come no one has proposed a strategy to retreat from the enemy? Speak up!"

After Cao Rui yelled out the last few words, he only felt that his eyes began to bulge and hurt, and his eyes turned black. He was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes and leaned on the soft cushion to breathe slowly.

It's just that the news that the Shu captives broke through the pass and went south from Bingzhou not only made it difficult for Cao Rui to accept, but even some veteran ministers who had experienced wind and rain for a long time were also paled by shock.

Not to mention those officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, many of them were frightened, and some even had weak legs.

Fearing Shu like a tiger is really not a joke, but a fact.

In this case, how to come out and speak?

The rare loss of voice in the court hall reminded some senior officials of the fact that Emperor Wu almost moved the capital back then.

At that time, there was also a person named Guan...

Why does the surname Guan always like to do this kind of thing?

After the oppressive silence, Yang Ji, the leader of the Central Committee, finally spoke:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the immediate priority is to reinforce Jinyang as soon as possible. As long as Jinyang is not broken, the Shu captives will not dare to go south with confidence."

Only then did Cao Rui open his eyes, and sighed wearily:

"The current plan is only this, there is no other way, but where will the reinforcements come from?"

Yang Ji said firmly:

"There are still 50,000 elite soldiers in Hanoi County, just in time to go to Zhiguanxing and enter Bingzhou to prepare for the Shu captives."

At this time, the monarch and ministers of Wei State felt a little rejoicing:

Fortunately, the 50,000 horses recruited from Hebei were not sent to Guanzhong at that time!

Otherwise, the situation might be corrupted beyond control.

Cao Rui asked again:

"Then who will be sent to lead the army to stop the Shu captives?"

The ministers were silent again.

Now those who can be used in the army, apart from guarding Yangzhou and Jingzhou, the rest are basically sent to Guanzhong.

However, the Xiahou family still has some talents, but Cao Rui dared not use them.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad:

During the time of Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, the national power was strong, and there were countless elite soldiers and generals. How did they become like this when they were in their own hands?

The Central Guard Jiang Ji finally stood up:

"The minister is willing to go."

Cao Rui looked at this veteran official of the three dynasties, and couldn't help showing his emotion. He said sincerely:

"Jiang Zhonghu can be called a loyal minister of the Great Wei! This time, I don't know what Jiang Zhonghu wants?"

Jiang Ji kowtowed, then raised his head, gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"The only request I have is to implore Your Majesty to issue a decree to punish Bi Gui for his crime of dereliction of duty."

Not only Cao Rui, but even all the ministers of Wei Guo were horrified. They didn't know why Jiang Ji said these words.

I only heard Jiang Ji say loudly:

"Your Majesty, Bi Gui first acted to force against the Hu people, and then he was ashamed of being defeated outside the Great Wall. Now facing the Shu captives, his actions are inappropriate."

"Soldiers don't know how to close the gates of the city and guard it. On the contrary, they are fighting in the wild with the Shu captives. The act of summoning the Huns is particularly hateful. It really surrenders Jinyang to the Shu captives!"

After hearing Jiang Ji's words, many people didn't understand why, and some people asked suspiciously:

"Jiang Zhonghu, the Huns are brave and brave. What's wrong with assembling to stop the Shu captives?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ji turned his head abruptly, startling the person who asked the question:

"If the Huns were available, why didn't Emperor Wu order them to guard Yanmen, but put them behind Jinyang? It's because the Huns are not trustworthy!"

"When Thief Dong was in chaos, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to rebel and plundered Bingzhou and other places, which shows their wolfish ambition."

"It would be fine if Bi Gui could defeat the Shu captives. The Xiongnu dare not make trouble. If the situation is slightly unfavorable, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will suddenly have a different heart, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Over the past twenty years, the Huns have been able to control the various ministries of the Huns only by relying on the army Sima, which has made many people in the Wei State develop a habit of dependence.

They didn't realize that in the current situation, Bingzhou had lost the ability to suppress the Huns.

It can be said that it is a dream to force all the Huns to fight against the Han army without a sufficient number of Wei troops to suppress them.

Jiang Ji was a veteran who followed Cao Cao from the very beginning and even commanded the army instead of Cao Ren.

Having experienced the three generations of Cao Wei, he has far more knowledge than most people.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, that is, 50 years ago, the remaining prestige of the Han family was still there, but because the Huns were too frequently conscripted, many Huns actually rebelled against the Xiongnu Shanyu, who was obedient to the Han Dynasty.

For these years, Bi Gui bullied the Hu people in Bingzhou even better than the later Han, how could Hu'er, the Hun, have no complaints?

Now that Bingzhou is empty of troops, he unexpectedly summoned the Xiongnu to Jinyang without hesitation, which simply provided the best opportunity for the Huns to make trouble.

Jiang Ji can be sure that as long as the war against the Shu captives is slightly unfavorable, those Huns who have been dissatisfied for a long time may disperse in a hurry.

Some people even provoked a little, and the Xiongnu tribe behind Jinyang may cause trouble everywhere.

Jiang Jiyue said that the more excited he was, the more his resentment was palpable, and finally he shouted:

"Your Majesty, it's unforgivable that you have wronged the country!"

Cao Rui was startled.

Recalling that after Bi Gui was defeated in the army, Jiang Ji once strongly said that Bi Gui was unfit for the post of governor of Bingzhou, so he might as well be recalled to the court.

Unexpectedly, it was a prophecy.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui regretted it:

"I regret that I did not listen to your words, and I have lost today. This time I am going north, I will give you a fake yellow axe, and you will be the master of everything in the state."

"The minister leads the order."

After confirming the candidate for the leader, Cao Rui said:

"The situation is urgent. I will immediately send people to Guanzhong, so that Da Sima will also find a way to pay attention to the movements of the Shu captives. At that time, Jiang Zhonghu will work closely with Da Sima to expel the Shu captives."

Speaking of Da Sima, Cao Rui couldn't help but cast a cold glance at the right servant and shoot Sima Fu.

Sima Fu looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, but he just hung his head and said nothing.

For such a big mistake this time, Sima Fu knew that His Majesty would definitely blame his second brother (ie Sima Yi) in his heart.

At this time, it is better to speak less than to speak more, and it is better to keep silent than to speak less.

Just when Jiang Ji was about to cross the river from Luoyang to the north and go to Hanoi to take over the strategic mobile forces that Wei Guo could mobilize now.

General Guan led the cavalry and chased after Sima Huan all the way to the city of Jinyang.

That is to say, the lost time of Hegukou was at night, so that Sima Huan could exit the mountain pass overnight, otherwise the 5,000 people would be completely wiped out.

Even so, under the pursuit of General Guan, this Wei army is still dying, dying, and scattered.

In the end Sima Huan only led less than 2,000 cavalry, not daring to stop for a while, and rushed back to Jinyang all the way, closing the city gates tightly.

From Yanmen, General Guan threatened the Hu people all the way to the south, and he subdued the left and right Xiongnu troops. When he arrived at the foot of Jinyang City, he actually played a banner and called it an army of 50,000.

Jinyang is located in the west of Fen River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is dangerous, the city is high and the pond is deep.

While organizing people to cross the water, Shi Bao looked at Jinyang City not far ahead, and couldn't help admiring General Guan in his heart.

At this time, he finally understood why General Guan was resting in Jiuyuan County, allowing Wei thieves to easily occupy the mountain pass north of Jinyang.

This was simply what General Guan did on purpose.

If General Guan rushed south as before, he would only force 5,000 Wei troops to defend the city, and then let more than 10,000 Hu people line up on the periphery.

At that time, the army may not be able to cross Fenshui easily like it is now.

Conversely, if the Wei bandits were allowed to defend according to the dangerous pass, it seemed that the opponent had the upper hand, but in fact it would force the opponent to divide into two places.

Even without Liu Hun, sooner or later, these barbarians who were temporarily summoned would fight on their own and have different orders, and General Guan would find an opening to break them down.

This can be said to be "a good fighter, who does not harm others".

When the army outside the city was crossing the water mightily, Bi Gui inside the city was staring at Sima Huan with red eyes, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

I saw him ask word by word:

"This is what you said that instead of defending the city, it is better to resist the robbers according to the danger? Why didn't you defend it? Sima Shuzi, how dare you misunderstand me like this!"

If Bi Gui has the right to hold the festival, he can guarantee that he will definitely kill this person on the spot.

Li Xun also looked at Sima Huan angrily.

At the beginning, when I saw this person talking boastfully, I thought that he really has the ability to lead the army, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable.

Even if you die in battle, that's better than running back to Jinyang with the defeated army.

At least under such circumstances, there are no soldiers in the city to defend, whether everyone "has to" abandon the city, or "has to" surrender the city, they are beyond reproach.

Now you are running back with someone, do you want us to guard or not?

If you want to keep Jinyang, it is almost impossible for this kind of people to keep Jinyang.

But if you don't abide by it, it is a felony according to Wei law.

The most frightening thing is that you can't defend it and defend it strongly. In the end, the Shu captives broke the city, and the other party was so angry that they said something like "unlimited for three days".

In the future, the officials all over the city would wish to swallow people like themselves alive.

So this unlucky thing is simply leading everyone to a dead end!

"Your Majesty, the city must not be able to be defended. Now that the Han army has not formally besieged the city, what should we do? It is better for you to make a decision early."

Sima Huan ran fast, and the Han army was not slow in chasing him.

After the defeated army entered the city, the Han army followed closely behind.

This made it too late for Jinyang to mobilize the young and strong in the city.

Bi Gui stopped yelling at Sima Huan, his blood-red eyes were filled with madness:

"I am greatly favored by the country, how can I back down? Even if I lose the enemy, I still have to work hard to kill the thief!"

It is impossible not to be afraid. He was already afraid when he heard that the Shu captives were going south.

But when things came to an end, no matter how frightened he was, he still had to think about his family in Luoyang.

His Majesty has always been deeply dissatisfied with himself.

If he abandons the city and flees south now, the whole family will probably be dragged down by him.

It's better to fight to the death, even if you die, His Majesty will look at it for the sake of fighting to the death, and leave a face for the family.

He growled at Sima Huan in a hoarse voice:

"Gather the soldiers under you immediately and prepare to defend the city. If you can defend it, you can make up for your mistakes. If you can't, your wife and daughter will wait to become the wives of a scholar's family!"

Scholars are families that have been soldiers for generations.

As soon as the husband in the front was killed in battle, the wife and daughter in the back were immediately taken away by the government and sent to others.

When Sima Huan heard this, his body trembled, not daring to be slighted, he quickly turned around and wanted to get ready.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he suddenly heard a "beep".

He hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw a firework blooming above the north gate, which was picturesque.

Sima Huan's legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a "thump".

Stardrop, see Stardrop again...
