Sizhou, Luoyang.
Early the next morning, Emperor Sima Chi of the Jin Dynasty did not expect any news about Situ Fu Zhi. Instead, bad news about Wang Mi came one after another.
"Your Majesty, there is a bandit named Wang Mi riding outside Pingchang Gate!"
"Your Majesty, there are also bandits outside Xuanyang Gate!"
"Your Majesty, the defenders of Dongyang Gate came to report that Wang Mi's bandit army was demolishing houses outside the city and taking out the pillars to make siege equipment!"
"Your Majesty, the defenders of Ximing Gate reported that Wang Mi's bandit army just attacked Temper, but they have been repelled!"
"His Majesty,........."
A series of bad news has made Emperor Sima Chi almost lose his ability to think. How to make correct analysis, judgment and response in this pile of complicated reports is far beyond his ability.
"Come here! Come here! Go quickly and invite the princes and princes to come and discuss matters!"
When all the princes, princes and ministers of the sect arrived again, Emperor Sima Chi of the Jin Dynasty felt a little calmer, and he was not as panicked as before.
"My dear friends, where is Xun Sikong? Why didn't you come?" Sima Chi found that Sikong Xunfan had not arrived and asked everyone in confusion.
Seeing that no one answered, Xun Fan's younger brother, Xun Zu, bit the bullet and spoke forward.
"Your Majesty, last night, Xun Sikong was worried about the city's defense and patrolled until late at night. He felt cold and had to report illness today."
"Oh, that's it." When Sima Chi heard this, although he didn't believe it, he could only give up.
Later, Sima Chi told the ministers about the reports received from the defenders at the gates of Zhucheng and asked them to think of ways to deal with it.
Before these ministers could come up with an idea, another eunuch immediately came to report to Emperor Sima Chi.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the horses ahead are reporting urgently!"
Sima Chi, who had been hit by the bad news, had no room to lower his depressed mood at this time. Instead, he quickly received the emergency report and started reading it.
Then, a wry smile appeared on Sima Chi's face. The ministers present looked at Sima Chi eagerly, and someone immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, what is the urgent report?" King Jingling Sima Mao asked first.
"Hulu Hu Yanyan led his army and defeated the army in Hongnong Maojin yesterday. More than 10,000 people were killed or injured and fled." Sima Chi's tone was full of helplessness and despair.
"ah!?"
"Doesn't that mean that the river's natural dangers can be breached so easily?!"
"Wang Mi has just arrived in Luoyang and Hu Yanyan comes from the west again. What will happen?"
In an instant, the entire court was filled with panic.
Sima Chi originally expected these ministers to give him advice, but now he felt disappointed and turned to the chamberlain beside him and asked.
"Send someone quickly to investigate again. If there is any news about Fu Zhi Situ, come and report it to me immediately!"
The little chamberlain got the order and went immediately.
Sima Chi, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, looked at the noisy Chaochang in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and regret. If he had listened to Xun Sikong earlier and moved the capital to Yanzhou, he would not be in such an embarrassing situation today. .
After a while, another chamberlain came in to report.
"Your Majesty, the defenders of the North City reported back that the people in the city had spread rumors that the army was defeated and that the barbarian army was about to arrive at any time. Many people began to flee from the north gate, and more and more people started to flee."
In Luoyang today, only the two gates in the north city are protected by water channels and are not afraid of raids by the bandits, so they remain open to facilitate the passage of envoys from the armies.
The ministers present all knew that Emperor Sima Chi was about to escape, and had no idea how to defend Luoyang. Therefore, they had no need to care about these ordinary people who also wanted to escape.
"The country has been ruined so much. How can these people deserve it? Let them be!" Sima Chi, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, sighed.
However, Sima Chi's words were immediately opposed by Sima Mao, King of Jingling.
"Wait a minute!"
King Jingling Sima Mao first stretched out his hand to stop the chamberlain who was about to deliver the order, and then said to Emperor Sima Chi.
"Your Majesty, Fu Situ has not returned yet, and it is unknown whether the boats from Heyin can be mobilized."
"If the boats from Heyin fail to arrive, then Luoyang must hold on. The defense of the city cannot be without strong men and women. If the people in the city are allowed to escape, by that time, the people will be able to escape completely, but Your Majesty will have no one to stop them. They have been sent to guard Luoyang."
Sima Mao, King of Jingling, actually had something on his mind that he had not expressed. If Luoyang was really lost, when the barbarians entered the city, as long as there were more people in the city, the chaos would be greater, and he would have a better chance. Escaped, otherwise, in the huge city of Luoyang, only ministers like them would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
"However, the people are already frightened and restless. It is really difficult for them to stay in the city." Xun Zu thought it was better to let the frightened ordinary people leave on their own.
However, Emperor Sima Chi did not think so. On the contrary, King Jingling Sima Mao's suggestion was in line with Sima Chi's heart. After all, this would give him another layer of hope of escape.
"What King Jingling said is absolutely true! I immediately ordered that all the gates in the city be closed immediately. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission. Anyone who dares to rush through the checkpoint will be killed immediately!"
Sima Chi said.
After hearing this, Xun Zu sighed in his heart. No matter whether the emperor and the ministers could escape from Luoyang at the last moment, the people trapped in the city would not be able to escape the tragic situation after the city was broken. They would either die on the streets or be killed. Taken as slaves and live an ignoble existence.
However, the Gonggun princes in the court at this time may not even have Xun Zu's thoughts!

Yuzhou, Chenliu County, Cangyuan.
Unlike Luoyang, which was in panic and despair, Yanzhou, which had just entered June, looked green and gorgeous in summer.
After Liu Yu defeated Shi Le's troops, Yanzhou had not been harassed by large groups of Huru bandits for nearly two months. This was the most peaceful period in several years.
In the wilderness outside Cangyuan City, much of the land that was originally farmland has been abandoned and turned into wild grassland.
In this way, it becomes a good place for hunting without having to worry about trampling on crops.
Although the weather in June is very hot, the temperature is still moderate after a rain.
Liu Yu, who had just arrived at Cangyuan, took this opportunity to go hunting with the Yanzhou governor Yang Hao, the beggar army commanders Tian Tian, Tian Lan, Chen Wu and others, so as to interact with these new people who had just followed him. The face is more friendly.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a string, Liu Yu flew out with an arrow from his horse and shot the deer, which had been dizzy from heat, to death.
This well-behaved shot on horseback attracted applause from Yang Hao, Tian Zhen, Tian Lan, Chen Wu and others behind him.
The cheering momentum was as if Liu Yu had completed a difficult move of piercing the Yang with a hundred steps.
Liu Yu felt very embarrassed when he heard this.
In this wilderness, a group of people wandered for most of the day, but they only shot a few fox rabbits and this deer. I don't know how the good hunter of later generations who could hunt hundreds of rabbits a day did it.
Suddenly, at this moment, a crisp bowstring sounded in the woods ahead.
It immediately caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"who!?"
"Hurry and protect the general!"
