When the war is intense, every day seems to pass very slowly.
But once peace comes, the days pass by without even noticing before people have time to savor it.
Zhang Fang left.
Most of Jizhou's troops also withdrew.
It’s impossible not to leave. Spring plowing is just around the corner. They are all the strong laborers of the family. Without them, Hebei’s agricultural production will be greatly affected this year.
Following the retreat of the Jizhou soldiers, there were many Luoyang people with numb faces and sighs.
But there was no way. Who made their husbands, brothers, and sons switch sides before the war? A total of 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Central Army surrendered to Yecheng. There will be more than 10,000 left. The King of Chengdu has an order to bring all these 10,000 people back to Yecheng. Those whose families are willing to follow will be given financial aid.
The nearly 30,000 Chinese soldiers who originally belonged to Sima Yi in Luoyang City were also divided.
Although Sima Yi died at the hands of Zhang Fang, his death was so tragic, which made people very angry.
There are vague rumors circulating in the capital, mentioning that Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, hooked up with Zhang Fang and killed someone with a borrowed knife. Many Forbidden Army soldiers were very disappointed, even angry, and simply defected to Sima Ying.
Sima Ying appointed Fenwu General Shi Chao to stay in Luoyang, and reorganized the eight or nine thousand Forbidden Army soldiers who came over, together with the 40,000 Jizhou soldiers, a total of about 50,000 people, who were stationed inside and outside the twelve city gates of Luoyang to watch over the city for him. .
Sima Yue gathered the remaining 20,000 Chinese troops.
All the soldiers from Sizhou and men from various counties who were recruited before the war were dismissed, and they also had to go home to do farm work.
In February or March, Sima Ying asked the deposed queen Yang Xianrong to be imprisoned in Jinyong City; the deposed crown prince Sima Tan (son of Sima Ya and grandson of Sima Yan) was appointed king of Qinghe, and the emperor agreed one by one.
The refugee armies in Yangzhou and Xuzhou were put down.
Shi Bing and Feng Yun both died, and the tribe was destroyed. Chen Min, who made the greatest contribution, served as the Prime Minister of Guangling (Guangling Kingdom has been eliminated, but he was actually the prefect). He led his private soldiers to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. Zhou Qi (Yixing Zhou Family) and He Xun (Shanyin He) who contributed a lot clan) did not receive any reward, and after disbanding the tribe, they each returned to their respective families.
Both Shi Bing and Feng Yun can be regarded as factions derived from Zhang Chang's civilian army. As for Zhang Chang himself, he was defeated by Liu Hong and Tao Kan. His main force was wiped out. He fled everywhere and was in panic all day long.
At this point, in the entire Jin Dynasty, except for Shuzhong, which was still fighting fiercely, no refugee commander could achieve anything, and they were all wiped out.
This dilapidated house is far from falling down with just one kick.
On the first day of March, drums and music were playing outside Dongyang Gate, and there were a forest of ceremonial guards.
As the biggest winner of this war, Chengdu King Sima Ying came to Luoyang in person with a large number of followers.
Sima Yue and all the officials went out of the city for several miles to greet him, and then went straight into the palace.
The storm was stirred up again.
…
"Hurry! Hurry! The whole army is fully dressed and dispatched!" It was already the third day. Mi Huang, who had a residence in the city, came to the military camp early in the morning and said in a hurry.
He Lun, Wang Bing, and Shao Xun all arrived and looked at him in confusion.
"It's not a war." Mi Huang said awkwardly, and then added: "The emperor held a banquet at the foot of Mang Mountain to feast the soldiers and people of Luoyang."
"I'm afraid he's a soldier from Hebei Province." He Lun curled his lips disdainfully.
This guy doesn't seem to have much respect for the emperor.
"Will the Imperial Army be dispatched?" Wang Bing asked.
"Of course, they are the main force." Mi Huang said.
"The King of Chengdu is here to show off his power." Shao Xun said: "I heard that Sima Yong, King of Hejian, asked the King of Chengdu to be the emperor's younger brother and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and foreign military forces. The emperor agreed. He was very proud of his ambition. , I want everyone to see his majesty."
"Xiao Langjun is right." Mi Huang smiled bitterly and said: "On March 3rd, the scholars and people went out to the rivers and lakes to drink from the flowing water, so the location was set at Qili River, so Jingu Near the garden. The people of the Heavenly Palace, all civil and military officials, the wives of domestic and foreign ministers, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial army will all come in person. Even the people of Luoyang who are willing to go can also participate in the meeting."
"Sima Ying, you really want to embarrass Sikong?" He Lun's face looked a little ugly.
"Don't think so much, assemble the team quickly." Mi Huang ordered.
"Promise." All the generals responded one after another.
"You lead the teaching team to escort the princess. Nothing will happen to her." Mi Huang grabbed Shao Xun and whispered.
"promise."
****
The high platform was set up yesterday.
Sima Ying, surrounded by many generals, climbed high and looked into the distance.
Luoyang, in the world.
It has been the capital since the Han and Wei dynasties, and it has been the capital of all dynasties. It is the place where Sima Ying misses her day and night.
He knew that he still needed to be patient, the time was not yet ripe.
If you come to Luoyang now, you will end up with Sima Lun, Sima Jiong, and Sima Yi. He is not that stupid.
But he also knew that as long as he got rid of two or three more clan kings and won a few more wars, he would become the final winner, take control of Luoyang without risk, and ascend the throne as emperor.
"Dong dong dong..."
The sound of the drums was deafening.
Looking down from the sky, one can see black blocks one after another slowly crawling on the ground. They are tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in Luoyang.
On both sides of the Qili River, which looks like a jade belt, there are scattered large figures of people, including Luoyang ministers, officials, and ladies.
The most prominent part of the canopy in the middle is majestic, majestic and extremely luxurious. It is the presence of the emperor.
Most of the most powerful and influential people in the world are gathered here.
"Woooooooo..."
The sound of the trumpet awakens the earth.
The sound of horse hooves gradually became more intensive, sometimes mixed with the sound of arrows piercing the air and arrogant laughter.
How could a place where warriors gather together not have these fighting scenes?
"Haha, the prey has been released, and the men are fighting for it." Sima Ying laughed and said, "Uncle, why don't you go down and try your luck?"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Sima Yuetong agreed or not, he just asked someone to bring a horn bow, led the horse, and prepared to gallop and hunt.
Sima Yue's face was not very good-looking. Unlike Sima Ying, he was not good at this. When he was compared with others, he would be laughed at.
Just when he was about to evade, Sima Ying glared at him, and without giving him a chance to refuse, she took his hand and got off the platform.
Sima Yue was helpless and could only ask someone to bring him a horned bow, get on his horse and go to the field.
The other sect kings, officials, and generals did not move and continued to stay on the high platform.
What does it have to do with the rivalry between the two kings?
On the lush grass, a new wave of horse hooves soon sounded.
Sima Ying has indeed practiced.
Perhaps in the eyes of warriors, his galloping skills are mediocre, but isn't this something to compare with?
The soldiers released many wild animals such as deer, rabbits, and foxes. Sima Ying galloped forward and fired three arrows in a row, quickly hitting a gray hare.
"The emperor's brother is mighty!"
"The emperor's brother is mighty!"
The knights who followed him made noises and cheered loudly.
Sima Yue's face became increasingly ugly.
He fired several arrows in succession, but they all failed, and he didn't get any prey. Moreover, after riding the horse for a while, he felt out of breath, his blood surged, his head felt dizzy, and he had to stop.
Sima Ying turned to look at him, becoming more and more proud.
Another hare appeared in front of me. In panic, it rushed left and right, walking in a zigzag route.
Sima Ying laughed loudly and rode in pursuit.
Wherever he passed, there would be a burst of exclamations from time to time. Those were the family members of officials and the people of Luoyang who were almost hit.
"Haha, so happy!" When he saw those dignified and elegant ladies running away like frightened foxes and rabbits, Sima Ying felt extremely happy, just as happy as he was when he captured the concubines in his mansion.
The hare's speed gradually slowed down.
Sima Ying picked up the horned bow and took a closer look.
"Whoosh!" The arrows were as fast as lightning, chasing after him.
Clearly audible sighs came and went, but I missed it!
Sima Ying was furious. There were dozens of figures in front of him. He did not slow down his horse speed. He seemed to want to run straight into them to vent his anger.
"Canglang!" The crisp sound of a knife being unsheathed sounded.
Sima Ying was startled and subconsciously reined in the horse.
The horse neighed in pain, raised its front hooves high, and spun around twice before finally stopping.
Sima Ying looked back and saw a general in golden armor holding the handle of his sword and looking at him coldly.
There was a carriage parked behind the general school, and a graceful and elegant woman was looking at Sima Ying who was galloping towards her with a pale face.
Sima Ying's entourage arrived one after another, and when they saw someone actually drawing a sword at the emperor's brother, they drew out their bows and knives and cursed loudly.
"What a thief, how dare you draw a sword on my brother!"
"The emperor's brother, why don't you kneel down and wait for your fate?"
"I collided with the emperor's brother and became the Yi clan."
Shao Xun looked at them expressionlessly.
Who collided with whom can really confuse right and wrong.
Concubine Pei stepped forward slowly, pressed her hand on the back of Shao Xun's hand, slowly pushed the knife into the sheath, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are polite."
"It turns out to be my aunt." Sima Ying took a closer look. Isn't this beautiful woman the wife of Sima Yue, Pei? I've seen it several times before, but now that I'm seeing it again, it seems to add a bit of charm, which makes people feel itchy.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and the eunuch Meng Jiu rushed over panting.
He first glanced at Shao Xun with a cold look, then whispered a few words into Sima Ying's ear.
When Sima Ying heard this, she immediately became interested.
He looked at Shao Xun intently for a long time, rubbed his chin with his hand, and said with a smile: "So you were the one who killed Meng Chao. To be honest, Meng Chao is not bad, he is not an incompetent person. Since you can kill him, you should have some points." Ability. Oh, I heard that you were the one who captured Sima Yi in the palace. Tsk, tsk, why don’t you come down to hunt today?”
"I have my responsibilities, so I don't dare to leave without permission." Shao Xun replied in a deep voice.
Concubine Pei subconsciously smoothed her hair that fell to her ears and lowered her gaze to the ground.
"Now you go hunt down a prey and come back, how about I forgive you for the crime of collision?" Sima Ying looked at Shao Xun with interest and said.
Shao Xun looked at Concubine Pei.
Concubine Pei nodded slightly.
Shao Xun looked at Chen Yougen again. Chen Yougen understood and brought a horse over. Then he said, "Sima, I didn't bring a horned bow..."
Shao Xun was stunned.
Sima Ying's expression remained unchanged and continued to look at him.
"Take my bow." An old man in brocade robes behind Sima Ying took out his horned bow and said loudly.
Meng Jiu glared at him.
The man's expression suddenly became gloomy. After looking at Meng Jiu for a moment, he turned away and stopped talking.
Sima Ying chuckled twice.
The knight behind him also sneered again and again.
Concubine Pei had a worried look on her face and bit her lip. Just as she was about to step forward to speak, she saw Shao Xun get on his horse and said, "Why use a bow for hunting? Bring me a bow!"
Chen Yougen didn't know what he meant, but he still waved his hand, and two soldiers from the teaching team, one after the other, carried a horse pole over.
Shao Xun held the stick in his hand, weighed it, and said, "Brother, please wait a moment."
After that, he galloped out.
