Chapter 118 Battle (Part 2)
The Nine-rank official law was already established during Cao Cao's rule, and Cao Cao, the ruling man at that time, did not agree with this proposal. However, when Cao Pi came, it became a transaction between the Cao family and the gentry.
Just imagine that the whole dynasty is a gentry. Although there are gangs fighting among the gentry, the interests of the gentry are consistent in dealing with the royal family. Therefore, the decline of the Cao family and the Xiahou family seems more natural. No matter how strong a family is, it cannot ensure that the bureaucracy in the world will be divided for generations. As the representative of the gentry, it is natural that the Sima family is so prosperous.
Xiahou Shao's father was Xiahou Mao and his grandfather was Xiahou Dun. He could be said to be a royal relative with Miao Honggen. But at this moment he was just the name of General Hengye. He died almost the same as the clan nobles who were right in the Sima family, and the rest had to seek the flames and abdications.
He had already stood in the Sima team, but when he saw that all the generals were talking about Sima's good words, Xiahou Shao was still unhappy. He could not show it during the banquet, so he couldn't help but drink a little more. Fortunately, he could still control his mouth and didn't say anything out of style.
The night passed by the noise and noisy. There were nearly 100,000 Wei troops in Chang'an City, and each army guarded the city in batches, which was as solid as a god. Therefore, Sima Jun and others were caring all night, not worried about the movements of the Shu army.
Shangdang King Liu Qian woke up slowly, and the maid in charge of serving quickly passed it to the Wei generals. After a while, Sima Jun brought the generals to Liu Qian's room. Liu Qian only felt pain in his waist and abdomen and could not get up. Seeing that he was in the hands of the Wei people, his heart was cold.
Seeing Liu Qian's look of panic, the generals of Wei were proud. He heard that Liu Chan's sons were not good at all, and he thought that Shangdang King Liu Qian was also a coward.
Sima Jun sat beside the bed and said to Liu Qian: "I am the General of Pingxi Sima Jun. This is in Chang'an City. The King of Shangdang does not need to panic. I will keep you safe and sound."
Seeing Sima Jun say this, the only hope in Liu Qian's heart was shattered. When he arrived in Chang'an City, he could only let Wei mermaid meat beef. Liu Qian stood up and wanted to sit straight, and his waist and abdomen stinged, and his body couldn't help but shrink.
"You are not seriously injured and cannot move freely, so stay here to recover from your injuries." Sima Jun smiled and left the room with General Wei.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Qian never said a word, and Sima Jun chose to leave just a few words, which was beyond Liu Qian's expectations.
As one of the princes of Shu Han, he knew Shu Han's national strength, military strength, defense, civil customs and other aspects. These are rare information and secrets for the Wei Kingdom. Moreover, as the son of Shu Lord Liu Chan, Liu Qian must have known many unknown secrets.
Sima Jun is one of the capable figures of the Sima family, so of course he understands that this matter should not be too hasty. Although Liu Qian's injury is not enough, it is easy to seek death, so it is better to start slowly. If he loses such credit because of rashness, it is called self-destruction of the Great Wall.
The number of defenders in Chang'an City increased, and the consumption also increased. However, countless food and supplies were sent from the rear to solve this problem. Nearly 30,000 cavalry were responsible for protecting the food route, and it was difficult for the spies of the Shu army to get closer to find out.
Since the war, the Shu army camp has stopped attacking, and the entire Shu army seems extremely heavy like Liu Chan's mood at this time. If his son falls into the hands of the Wei people, he will not end well regardless of life or death. What's worse is that once Liu Qian compromises with the Wei people and surrenders to the Wei people, the virtual reality of the Shu army's northern expedition and the secrets of the country will fall into the hands of the Wei people.
The son of the Shu Han emperor surrendered to the enemy country, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Shu Han soldiers and civilians who were determined to restore the Han Dynasty and seize the Central Plains.
Liu Chan couldn't bear to see his son die from the bottom of his heart, and he died of humiliation from the Wei people, but he didn't want Liu Qian to be a traitor who has been scolded for all ages. The contradictions are beyond the reach of others. The sons of the Liu family are not their own flesh and blood, but the father and son have long been in love for many years.
My wrong judgment pushed the princes to the battlefield. In the crisis, the princes sacrificed their lives to protect each other. Thinking of every bit of what they usually do, how could they not be moved by it even if they are so hard-hearted?
Liu Lin, who was responsible for supervising the three cities, brought his subordinates to the camp, and apologized for his crimes in Liu Chan's camp, kowtowed until he bleeded, and asked Liu Chan to deal with his crime of dereliction of duty.
Due to Liu Lin's sensitive identity, the ministers were reserved in this matter. To a certain extent, this was His Majesty's family affairs, and it involved the first lord Liu Bei, and it was not the scope of the ministers' intervening.
Xianyang, Wugong and Huaili were the governors of Liu Lin, and Shangdang King Liu Qian was kidnapped by the Wei army near Xianyang. From any perspective, Liu Lin was seriously guilty. Liu Lin also understood his fault, but he was inexplicably in such a disaster. No defense could match the pain of losing his son!
In front of the ministers, Liu Chan tried to maintain a calm face, but when he saw Liu Lin hitting the ground, he was covered in blood. He could no longer control his emotions. He had no words but he was crying.
Liu Lin was filled with regret. At that time, he was eager to search for the traces of the Wei army. He felt that Liu Qian's Shu army was several times more than his own army, so he took it lightly. Unexpectedly, it was because of a temporary negligence that the current tragedy was caused. It was a consequence of his own consequences, but who could he blame?
When he got up and came to Liu Lin, Liu Chan stopped and the ministers were nervous when they saw this. Liu Lin did not dare to look up, and he stole heavily to the ground and leaned against Liu Chan's feet without making any moves. Liu Chan stared at Liu Lin under his feet with red eyes. He could send this nephew to the guillotine with just one order.
Liu Lin is to blame for the miserable incident today!
The father lost his beloved son, the king lost his virtuous ministers, and the country lost his opportunity to fight. These three things are enough to make the efforts of more than 100,000 soldiers of Shu Han over the past four months goblin.
Since the Northern Expedition, are there few soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country?
"The affairs of the dog son have nothing to do with you. The army in the three cities has few, so how can I have the strength to stop it? This is my fault for not making good arrangements." After a long time, Liu Chan said slowly.
Liu Lin lay on the ground and waited for His Majesty to be sentenced to death. Unexpectedly, he said this! Liu Lin suddenly looked up and looked at Liu Chan in disbelief, and tears suddenly surged.
"Your Majesty... I will be punished for the death of a hundred crimes. Please punish me for the death penalty. I will die without any resentment!" Liu Lin said sobbingly.
"I have lost my beloved son, how can I endure losing another son?" Liu Chan supported Liu Lin, and his uncle and nephew hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
Seeing that Your Majesty had pardoned Liu Lin's sins, the ministers finally felt relieved. Liu Chan and Liu Lin's uncle and nephew were about one hundred years old, and they cried loudly in front of the ministers like children. Many of the ministers also cried with tears.
After mercying Liu Lin, the Shu army was still shrouded in a grief. Liu Qian's capture of the entire Shu army was really a big blow.
Wei Junle's Shu army did not move and took the opportunity to welcome all the supplies transported from the north into Chang'an City. Sima Jun studied military affairs with the generals every day, and in his spare time he went to chat with Liu Qian.
Liu Qian's side was recuperating for several days, and her complexion was gradually recovering, and the affected area was not so painful. Seeing that the Wei people were under house arrest, Liu Qian gradually thought about his situation with peace of mind.
A few days later, the explorer outside the city reported that the Shu army general Jiang Wei led tens of thousands of troops to the Shu army camp. Sima Jun said to the generals: "Jiang Bo's promise has arrived. Should I take advantage of this time to severely damage the Shu army. I wonder what are you doing?"
The Wei cavalry who followed Yang Xin to Chang'an had long been the general of Yong, and the two states of Liang were completely destroyed, brought the news of the complete fall of the Wei army in Chang'an. If it weren't for the capture of Shangdang King Liu Qian, the Wei army would be the one with low morale now.
Chen Ben's eyes turned and said, "Liu Qian's injuries seem to have recovered, why not attack him?"
Sima Jun heard this and said, "I have no intention of exploring Liu Qian's words these days, and I'm afraid I need to be tortured."
Chen Ben nodded and said, "It is rumored that Liu Chan's sons have all died, so he must save his life to attack the Shu army."
Pang Hui said coldly: "How can we rely on prisoners to win? I would rather fight the Shu army to death!"
Xiahou Shao also responded: "There are more than 30,000 cavalry in the city, and breaking Shu is just a matter of raising hands."
The generals had long known Chen Ben's plan, such as Pang Hui and Xiahou Shao, who were brave, were disdainful, but Sima Jun and others thought this was very wonderful. Therefore, Sima Jun and Chen Ben ignored Pang Hui and others and rushed to Liu Qian's room with their personal soldiers.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Qian felt that the atmosphere today was strange and he was prepared. Sima Jun said straight to the point: "Will you say to you yesterday have any results?"
Liu Qian's eyes swept over the Wei general Chen Ben and several warriors behind Sima Jun, and then said, "Qian defeated the general, thanks to his life, should not have rejected the favor of the Wei family. In fact, he has been abandoned for a long time, and his talent is a little unsophisticated and difficult to help the general."
"Hahahaha, why should you be so humble? Just tell me what you know in your heart. I will ensure your glory and wealth." Sima Jun said with a shiny look on his eyes and implicit murderous intent.
Seeing that Sima Jun looked bad, Liu Qian shook his head without saying anything. After a while, he said, "I and the Lord of Shu are named monarch and ministers, but they are actually father and son. Even if they are broken into pieces, their ambition will not change. Please come back."
Sima Jun said coldly: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. The pain of torture is beyond your reach. I will feel a pity for your great future, which is a pity!"
After several days of hard thinking, Liu Qian did not understand the problem, and he was still wandering around the intersection. He was originally without an answer, but under Sima Jun's questioning, he chose the path of rather than surrender without reason. Even Liu Qian himself did not expect that it would be like this.
He values friendship and loyalty for his ministers. Some people cannot think clearly in their minds or explain them clearly. But when they are in danger, they will do whatever they want to die, and sacrifice their lives for love and sacrifice their lives for their lives. I am afraid this is something that is hidden in their bones and difficult to change.
"Since ancient times, people have been conquered by virtue. I have never heard of conquering others with force. Someone sighed for the general." Liu Qian obviously felt that his body was shaking constantly due to fear, but his heart was firmer and calmer than ever.
