The generals on the front of the city did not dare to underestimate him, so they hurriedly sent someone to the Duke of China's Mansion to report to Duke Jin.

Duke's Mansion.

Yuan Shangzheng was furious, frowned deeply, and was walking in the hall with his hands on his back.

The news of the fall of Jingxing Pass had long been passed back to Jinyang City. This shocking bad news made the monarchs and ministers of Jin feel as if the sky had fallen.

As the king of Jin, how could he not know the importance of this pass? As soon as Jingxing Pass was lost, the Wei army opened the best channel between Jizhou and Bingzhou, and the food, grass, military supplies and materials could be transported to the Jinyang front line without any obstacles without worrying about the rugged and muddy road.

Have no worries about food and grass, which means that the pottery merchants will surround Jinyang as long as they want.

At that time, the pottery merchants siege the city for half a year and finally captured two strong cities. If this continues, I am afraid that Jinyang City will follow the footsteps of Liyang and Yecheng.

As soon as Jinyang was broken, his last bloodline of the Yuan family was probably like his father and brother, and he suffered a lot of torture, and eventually died under the claws of Tao Shang.

The situation is getting more and more critical, how can Yuan Shang not be overwhelmed?

"Donald Jin doesn't have to worry too much. The other four princes are attacking the pottery thieves. As long as we can hold on and there will be a change in all directions, we will still have a glimmer of life." Sima Yi calmly comforted him.

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shang had not spoken yet, and the counselor Shen Pei said in a deep voice: "The situation has reached this point, but you still asked Duke Jin to place his hopes on others. It is really unreasonable. I said Sima Yi, if it weren't for your appearance, Duke Jin would have focused all his efforts to defend Huguan, and the situation would not have developed to such an uncontrollable level."

When it reaches this point, people always need to take the blame, so naturally this person is Sima Yi.

Sima Yi frowned and was speechless for a moment.

When Yuan Shang was reminded by Shen Pei, he suddenly realized it and thought about it carefully. It seemed that this was true.

Thinking back then, he wanted to lead the entire Jin Dynasty division to defend Huguan. If all his troops were concentrated at that time, Huguan might not have been lost.

There were 50,000 cavalry of the Huns in Hedong, and the pottery merchants would not dare to easily use troops to Hedong, and they would not be able to attack Bingzhou from southern Jin.

As for the direction of Jingxing Pass, as long as the Tao merchants cannot enter the hinterland of Jinzhong, they will not be able to attack the back of Jingxing Pass from west to east, and they will not be able to break the pass.

Without breaking through Jingxing Pass, the grain and grass of the pottery merchants would not be able to be transported smoothly into Bingzhou. At this time, the pottery merchants might have withdrawn their troops due to muddy roads and unfavorable transportation of the grain and grass.

All of this changed after Sima Yi appeared and persuaded him to borrow troops from the Southern Xiongnu.

It would be nothing wrong to say that everything is blamed on Sima Yi.

Yuan Shang's eyes suddenly became resentful when he looked at Sima Yi, but he couldn't bear to blame him, so he could only sigh silently, looking disappointed.

Sima Yi could feel Yuan Shang’s complaints towards him and his brows frowned again.

Just when Sima Yi was in awkwardness, the soldiers outside the hall hurried in and bowed and said, "Your report to Duke Jin, Sima Lang is asking for a meeting outside the city."

Sima Lang?

Yuan Shang was stunned and looked at Sima Yi in surprise. He was obviously surprised that your brother was captured by Tao Merchants, and why he appeared in the city again.

Sima Yi's face also changed, his mind turned sharply, and he realized in an instant, and a trace of fear flashed into his eyes.

He knew that the pottery merchant was cruel and thought that his brother would be in trouble when he fell into the pottery merchant's hands, but he didn't want to be alive and appeared outside the city.

Sima Yi had such knowledge. He immediately guessed that Sima Lang was most likely forced by the pottery merchant to come to be a guest of surrender.

Sima Yi knew it himself, but he couldn't explain it clearly. While he was thinking about how to deal with it, Yuan Shang got up curiously and headed to the top of the city.

Sima Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him with nervousness.

Yuan Shang and his team rode their horses out of the mansion and headed straight to the east gate of Jinyang.

Yuan Shang, who was climbing to the top of the city, glanced at him and saw Tao Shang's towering figure, a chill instinctively blew up his back, and he subconsciously fought a cold war.

Sima Yi's eyes fell on the moat, and when the two riders recognized one of them, it was indeed his brother Sima Lang, his eyebrows were deep and his wolf eyes were frowned secretly, and his wolf eyes flashed with increasingly gloomy eyes.

When Sima Lang saw Yuan Shang and Sima Yi appear, his face immediately changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed, as if he was ashamed to see them.

The sound of the sword being unsheathed, Sima Lang's scalp was numb all over his body, and he felt frightened. He had to suppress his shame, coughed dryly, bowed to the top of the city and said, "Lang has seen Duke Jin."

Yuan Shang was not stupid. Seeing this, he had guessed Sima Lang's purpose. His sword eyebrows also frowned slightly, and he looked back at Sima Yi with a gloomy face.

There was a clear resentment and resentment in his eyes, and he blamed his brother for not being loyal to the country and actually became a prisoner of the pottery merchant.

Sima Yi was like a thorn on his back, but pretended to be calm, cleared his throat, and said coldly to the city: "Brother, you are the eldest son of my Sima family. Even if you are captured by the pottery thieves, you should retain the character of my Sima family. Don't tell me that you were forced by the pottery thieves to persuade Jin to surrender."

Sima Yi took the lead, revealed Sima Lang's purpose, and moved out the character of the Sima family to suppress him, just to hint him in a corner, not to make a move that would make his younger brother embarrassed.

Sima Lang suddenly stopped speaking, embarrassment appeared on his face. The words of persuading surrender to surrender were immediately stuffed back by Sima Yi's words.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of metal rubbing, and Jing Ke's sword pulled out three points again.

Sima Yi's heart trembled, and he had to put aside his shame, smiled embarrassedly, and said loudly: "Zhongda, my brother is here to save you and Duke Jin. Now the Wei army is so strong. How can you defend Jinyang with thousands of troops? The situation is over. It is better to follow the will of heaven and the people and open the city to surrender to the King of Wei."

As soon as this said, Yuan Shang changed color and his complaining eyes stared at Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi's brows were already condensed, and his face was hard to suppress his embarrassment and shame.

The soldiers on the city were in an uproar, and the soldiers of Jin soldiers along the city all shot at Sima Lang with surprise and contempt, as if they couldn't believe that these shameless words actually came from the mouth of the dignified Sima family's eldest son.

How could Sima Lang not feel it? The contemptuous eyes of thousands of people, and the feeling was like a ray of light on his back, which made him very embarrassed. He just wanted to survive, so he didn't care about anything.

"Sima Zhongda, your Sima family is really loyal to me." Yuan Shang, who was annoyed, could not help but sarcastically.

Sima Yi's figure was shocked, his fists were clenched secretly, and his eyes were full of hatred for being uncontested.

Although he was mentally prepared, when his elder brother spoke out the words of persuading surrender in person, the anger in Sima Yi still gushed out in an uncontrollable way.

Now Yuan Shang is complaining and sarcasm again. His attitude is really related to his Sima Yi's status in Jin State, so he must react.

Taking a deep breath, Sima Yi pointed his hand at the city and shouted, "Sima Lang, as the eldest son of my Sima clan and a minister of my Great Jin, where is your loyalty? It would be fine if you surrender to the traitor of Tao thieves, but you dare to be forced by him and shamelessly come to persuade Duke Jin to surrender. You have lost all the face of my Sima clan and are not worthy of being a child of my Sima family!"

In order to express his position, Sima Yi had no choice but to scold Sima Lang mercilessly in front of so many people to draw a clear line between him and himself.

Sima Lang was scolded by his younger brother and was ashamed. His face turned red and white. He wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it, so ashamed that he could no longer be more ashamed.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, continue!" Jing Ke shouted loudly behind him, and the sword was unsheathed for three points.

Sima Lang was so scared that he shivered, and quickly suppressed his shame and said loudly: "Zhongda, as the saying goes, those who know the affairs of the times are heroes, let alone the King of Wei is the king appointed by the emperor. He is ordered by the emperor to fight against the ministers of all directions and submit to him, that is, to submit to the Han Dynasty. Aren't Jin Gong and you both ministers of the Han Dynasty? What's wrong with submitting to the court?"

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Sima Lang sighed again: "Besides, Mr. Yuan was so powerful back then, but he was defeated again and again by the King of Wei. The siege of Li Yang and the ending of Jin Yang. Have you forgotten both Duke Jin and Zhongda? Do you really think you can defend Jinyang City?"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers of Jin soldiers along the city were moved by them, and their faces were filled with horror and lingering fear.

The siege of Li Yang, the siege of Yecheng, and the Yuan family resisted for so long, but in the end they were all destroyed. The ending was so tragic that these Jin soldiers could not forget.

Even Yuan Shang couldn't help but secretly fight a cold war. He glanced at the left and right, and he could see that the soldiers were all afraid.

It would be fine if Sima Lang came to persuade him to surrender, but in a few words, he even disturbed his morale. Yuan Shang was so angry that he glared at Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi was also angry and angry, and pointed at Sima Lang and cursed: "Sima Lang, you are unfaithful and shameless, unfaithful and shameless, and are not worthy of being the child of our Sima family. Today, on behalf of the ancestors of our Sima family, I will expel you, an unworthy descendant from the family on behalf of our Sima family. From now on, I, Sima Yi, will no longer have you as a brother, and the Sima family will no longer have you as a descendant. Whether you are alive or dead, what shameless actions you make have nothing to do with our Sima family."

Sima Yi had no choice but to cut off his brotherhood and drive Sima Lang out of the house to completely draw a line with him.

Sima Lang was shocked, but he never expected that his younger brother was so heartless and would have no choice but to not listen to advice, but he was so hard-blooded that he had broken off his brotherly relationship with him.

Under the embarrassment and shame, Sima Lang was even more frightened. If Tao Shang said that if he wanted to survive, he had to persuade Yuan Shang and Sima Yi. In this situation, the two of them were clearly determined not to surrender. Wouldn't they be dead?

In order to save his life, Sima Lang didn't care about any shame and almost cried and begged: "Duke Jin, Zhongda, just listen to my advice and surrender."

"Where are the crossbowmen? What are you waiting for? Send me an arrow and shoot this shameless traitor to death!" Sima Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and his emotions seemed to be a little out of control. Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
