Royal Road

What is it like for a hundred thousand army to flee? Standing outside the big tent, Sima Yue felt his teeth tremble. As far as I can see, the mountains and plains are full of soldiers, throwing helmets and armors, and wolves rushing. Instead of fighting against the army of the King of Chengdu, the reinforcements from all over the country rushed to escape, dispersing the originally vulnerable formation.

"Stop! Send troops to resist the enemy!" Frightened and frightened, Sima Yue finally ordered harshly.

Following the order, the imperial army guarding the emperor greeted him, and tried his best to stand in front of the enemy cavalry. There are not only the emperor's imperial court, but also countless ministers, including the King of East China Sea. Even if it is for yourself, you have to resist it desperately!

However, these forbidden troops, which are always respected and commanded by Xunqi children, can't stop the menacing enemy soldiers at all. The force was like a broken bamboo, the army rushed up, more and more guards fell under the horse, and the enemy soldiers with fierce eyes were still pressing on.

"General Governor, the right army has retreated!" Another bad news came.

Sima Yue only felt a buzzing in his head. Chen Chang escaped? His right army is the main force of the Forbidden Army. If even he escapes, who else can resist the army in front of him?

"The remnants of General Shangguan have also retired!" A confidant hurried forward, "The chief governor, I'm afraid I can't keep it here!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Sima Yue didn't care about other things anymore, turning on his horse.

"But, where's Yu Nian..." The confidant hesitated, looking at the huge golden frame not far away.

In order to demonstrate the power of the emperor, the emperor needs to take the golden car, prepare six horses, and install the car with the five colors, gold and tin, and the yellow house on the left. The whole imperial house is like a golden hill, majestic and striking.

If he retreats with his imperial court, I am afraid that he will be embellished by the enemy if he can't get out of half a mile. But without... Is it possible to abandon your Majesty? !

Sima Yue had a hideous face and said loudly, "Wang An of Chengdu dare to offend His Majesty?! Retreat first, wait for the soldiers and horses, and then come to rescue!"

Without even the slightest hesitation, Sima Yue abandoned his imperial court and fled outside under the cover of a group of confidants.

All those who could lead the soldiers fled in all directions. The remaining soldiers are even more vulnerable. Soon, the guard of honor of the people around the imperial court broke away, and the arrow passed through the yellow cover and came towards the throne!

"Ah!" The emperor in Gunmian exclaimed when sitting in the car. Looking at the swaying Long Feather on his arm in a daze, a heartache came.

He was hit by an arrow.

"The escort...who will escort..." With hindsight, the dull emperor reacted. Before his master, there was no guarding army.

However, the faint shout did not go out. On the contrary, more arrows are nailed to the extremely lenient, magnificent car wheel.

A few steps away, the call to kill became louder and louder. The loyal **** had fallen under the enemy's front, and turned into a mutilated corpse, dying to death. Two more arrows were hit, and the blood flow continued. The emperor couldn't bear it anymore and shrank up, trying to hide himself in the imperial court. The crown hit the side, and the gun clothes were also stained with blood, but it was like a rain of locust arrows, but it didn't mean to stop at all.

"Your Majesty!" Someone jumped onto the imperial court from the side, unfolded his sleeves, and blocked the emperor with his body. "Your Majesty, don't panic, thieves can't hurt your Majesty by overriding his officials!"

This person is Shi Zhong Ji Shao, the son of Ji Kang. A few days ago, Sima Ying was demoted to be a commoner, and when he was recruited by himself, the talented officer was restored to his post.

"Ji Shizhong..." The emperor seemed to say something, but during the killing call, no one could hear it clearly.

Soon, the arrow rain disappeared, and the never-ending killing shout also quieted down. A murderous voice exploded in my ears: "Your Majesty is here!"

With a few arrows in his body, the dying Ji Shao was dragged up, and one of them had already raised the blade in his hand.

The emperor seemed to wake up suddenly, regardless of the pain on his body, and said loudly: "Loyal minister, don't kill!"

However, the red-eyed soldier just sneered: "On the order of my brother, but don't offend your Majesty!"

Following these words, the man raised his sword and cut off Ji Shao's head.

A puff of blood flew high and splashed on the emperor's body. He was horrified, his figure crooked, and he got out of the car.

In the palace of Yecheng, a handsome man dressed in a Chinese suit stroked his palms and laughed: "Donghai children, dare to compete with the lonely?!"

This person is the Lord of Yecheng, Chengdu Wang Simaying. As the son of Emperor Wu, he also inherited the good looks of his father's "very beautiful appearance", with a tall stature and outstanding appearance. In the early years, he also served as a talented person, and his fame was as fast as ever. However, after the power was in his hands, he quickly became extravagant and arrogant just like his own father.

These days, he was scared enough by the imperial conquest. How could he not be overjoyed when he heard the news of the defeat of the Sima Yue army? Still think carefully! If he listened to the words of those courageous boys, abandoned Yecheng and fleeing elsewhere, I would have nothing left. And now, he is still the emperor's brother, the prime minister of Dajin, and the only winner of this northern expedition!

"Is the emperor okay?" After laughing, Sima Ying remembered more important things. Although it is good to win, but the imperial conquest, he led his troops to kill the emperor, wouldn't he be charged with eternal crimes? As the emperor's brother, even if he wants to succeed, he should give in or wait for his stupid brother to die and die. To die in the army is obviously not in the scope of choice.

The following ministers immediately replied: "The emperor is fine, but he has suffered some injuries."

Sima Ying immediately let out a long sigh of relief: "That's all right. Well, let the emperor's imperial driver stop in the general stone camp. When you have all the ceremonial ceremonies, you can welcome the emperor into the city!"

As a courtier, you must never "capture" the emperor. Previously, he rejected all opinions and ordered the dispatch of troops, using the saying of saving the emperor from the hands of rebellious officials. Now it is natural to welcome the emperor into Ye, and it will be appropriate.

After the emperor is ushered this time, it is time to prepare for the succession ceremony. Sima Ying has now made up his mind to stop spending time with that stupid brother. In any case, he must become emperor as soon as possible!

Orders were passed on immediately. Exhausting countless efforts, the emperor who was barely prepared by Fajia, entered Yedu with great strength.

"What are you talking about? The Sixth Army was defeated and the emperor entered Yecheng?"

After finally leading the army out of Baixing, he was about to rendezvous with Brother, but he heard such news. Sima Teng couldn't help but furious: "Isn't it said that there are a hundred thousand army, how can it be defeated so soon?! Where is my brother now?"

The following scout said: "The army is broken and too chaotic, the East Sea King seems to have returned to the fief directly..."

Hearing that Sima Yue had returned to the East China Sea, Sima Teng was almost speechless. After a while, he said angrily: "The thief, King Chengdu! Quickly order the army north to attack Yecheng. I want to fight against the thieves together with Wang Pengzu!"

Yes, as long as the emperor can be regained and the King of Chengdu can be eliminated, the dispatch of troops this time will not be in vain. Even if Brother A was defeated, there would still be his 30,000 elite soldiers and Wang Jun's tens of thousands of horsemen. There was just a big battle, and the troops who wanted to come to Chengdu Wang should also be depleted. If you don't fight at this time, when will you wait? If that adversary really usurped the throne, things would be in trouble!

Following the order, Sima Teng's army accelerated the march and attacked towards Yecheng!

Sima Ying was still in the dream of succession. First amnesty, then changed the yuan, and then beheaded the king of Anton who was a surrender. After that, Yecheng was silent as a chill, and no one dared to say anything to his actions. However, just after the sacrifice to the sky in the southern suburbs, news of the attack by Sima Teng and Wang Jun reached his ears.

This time, Yecheng was upset again. The emperor’s personal conquest is just a famous name, and the soldiers and horses of Dongying Gong and Youzhou Governor, but the real strong army! Especially those Xianbei cavalry under Wang Jun, not to mention the Jin army, even the Xiongnu cavalry saw it, afraid that they would have to avoid it. What if I let them call?

In desperation, Sima Ying had to send three more soldiers and horses to intercept the two.

"The army is coming, how can this be good?! Do you have any suggestions?" A white-faced man walked around in the room and asked the people beside him.

He was Meng Jiu, the **** who was most favored by the king of Chengdu. A few days ago, I was still worrying about the succession of the king of Chengdu. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Yecheng would be in danger. No one can bear this kind of ups and downs, let alone a eunuch.

Different from others, his splendor and wealth are closely tied to Wang Yiren in Chengdu. If the king of Chengdu proclaims the emperor, he will be the first celebrity beside the emperor; and if the king of Chengdu loses, he will also flee with the other party. How could he not make him anxious in such a situation of heaven and earth. Had to recruit his staff to discuss what to do.

However, even Meng Jiu himself knew that if he wanted to rely on these staff, he was afraid that it would be useless. Those who can take refuge in him as an **** must not be a talented and capable celebrity. And those ghost tricks may not have any effect on the situation of the battle.

However, unexpectedly, a young man hesitated and said: "Public Dongying is in the state of the state. Whether he sends troops or transports food, he has to go to the party. If he can send someone to sneak into the Shangdang county and kill the county guard. , To capture Baixing. Even if he can't defeat Dongying Gong, he can immediately get back to help..."

"Huh?" Meng Jiu's eyes lit up and he turned to ask, "What is your name?"

Seeing Meng Jiu's interest, the man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Boy Li Lang and Li Zhongming. Previously, he was a member of General Meng's staff, and later he entered the mansion."

General Meng naturally refers to Meng Jiu's younger brother Meng Chao who died in the Battle of Luoyang. Thinking of his deceased brother, Meng Jiu had a look of hatred across his face. Even if his brother Lu Ji died, he wouldn't be able to get his precious brother's life back.

But just for a moment, the hideous color on his face withdrew, walked to Li Lang's side, leaned over and asked: "This is a good way, but the Shangdang has always been dangerous for the world. How can you kill the county guard and seize the pass? ?"

"The kid is a member of the Shangdang, and there are brothers in the family as officials in the county. As long as you send a team of brave soldiers, you will be able to attack the county by surprise! Then, in the name of the county guard, switch and enter the city, naturally you can easily change the head of the city. , Broke Dongying's back road!" Li Lang's heartbeat pounded, and said his plan.

Brave and Titans? Meng Jiu's eyes lit up and suddenly remembered another thing. The Huns captain Liu Yuan also said before that he was old and weak and wanted to return to his hometown of Bingzhou. He also gave him a lot of gold and silver to make him say something to the king of Chengdu. It just so happens that the Five Huns are in Bingzhou? If you take this opportunity to let the Huns send some soldiers and horses to help seize the Shangdang county town, wouldn't it have the best of both worlds?

With a haha ​​smile, Meng Jiu patted Li Lang on the shoulder: "This is a very good plan, I will go to the Ming Master. Li Binke, this time you have a good opportunity to make a contribution!"

Being slapped on the shoulder by the eunuch, Li Lang trembled with excitement, and fell to his knees: "I will not bear the trust of the Lord!"

The author has something to say: Two people are involved in the background of this chapter, one is Ji Shao. After Ji Shao was killed, Emperor Hui kept crying. Sima Ying wanted to change his clothes so that he could enter the city the next day, but he was unwilling to take off his clothes and said: "This servant Ji is in blood, don't go." Famous sentence. Since then, "Blood in the Servant of Ji" has become synonymous with the blood of loyal ministers, and Ji Shao himself is also the first person in the "Book of Jin·Zhongyi".

But Ji Shao is still very contradictory in nature. Because his father Ji Kang died under the sword of Sima Zhao. All the emperors of the Sima Dynasty should be the blood of his murderous father and enemy. There was another person who had the same encounter with him, named Wang Bao. His father, Wang Yi, was also killed by Sima Zhao. He did not serve in the Western Jin Dynasty. He did not succeed in three campaigns and seven campaigns. He was called a model of filial piety.

It can be said that Wang Bao chose filial piety, while Ji Shao, the child born to Princess Cao Wei, chose to be loyal to Sima Yishi. It is estimated that this has nothing to do with Ji Kang's Tuogu. Ji Shao was raised by his father's friend Shan Tao since he was a child, and became an official under his recommendation as an adult. King Zhao rebelled and was promoted to serve as a servant. Later, Emperor Hui was reset and he still served as a servant. When the King of Qi turned against him again, he was equally loyal and abide by him, admonishing the King of Qi directly. It can be said that he adhered to a minister from beginning to end, and it was the duty of a loyal minister.

Perhaps this also has the function of Ji Kang's famous sentence: "Do not be ashamed inside, live up to vulgarity outside, exchanges for profit, officialdom does not seek money, learn from the past and the present, clean up emotions and desires, why worry about the wrong of the world?

The other was Sima Rui, the nephew of King Anton who was killed by Sima Ying. Because of the innocent murder of King Sima Yao of Anton, Sima Rui was terrified and fled Yecheng and returned to his fief Langya. Later, he joined the East Sea King camp and was sent to manage Jiangnan. This person was the first emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jin Yuan Emperor, and the source of "the king and the horse share the world."
