Chapter 311 Ascension to the Throne (Part 2)

Update time: 2013-02-01

Emperor Cao Huan of Wei had already left, and Ma Yan, the Jin company, was unfortunately buried in the rolling waves. In less than ten days, the iconic monarch of Wei and the powerful ministers who held real power died one after another. The court was in chaos, and strange talks emerged in the market.

If the sky destroys the Great Wei, the country will surely perish!

Sikong Wei Guan, Situ He Zeng, Taibao Zheng Chong, Taizhong Dafu Wang Lan and other Wei officials had been planning for several days, and they had to invite Sima You, the general of the Fu Army, to come to take charge of the affairs. Whether in the court, in the army, or within the Sima family, when Sima Yan died, Sima You was the only one who could control all parties.

Sima You is attacking the land of the Liaodong Shu army, and it will take time to hear the news even if it turns around. Before this, all military and political power was temporarily cooked by Wei Guan and four others. The most urgent task is to appease the people and put the morale of the army first!

Only Qingzhou is left north of the Yellow River. The Shu army won a lot of power and even killed people like Cao Huan and Sima Yan. It was full of morale. If he took advantage of the chaos in Hebei, many cities would probably have fallen.

Therefore, the focus of rectifying the morale of the army is to rectify defense! The Wei army began to collect ships on the north bank of the Yellow River to prevent people from crossing the Yellow River to join the south bank. They even sent generals to inspect the camp day and night, leading soldiers to inspect the cities, shocking the people to prevent chaos.

The Hebei prefectures are still destroyed by the careful management of the Sima family. Many people still hold grudges towards the Sima family, and are even dissatisfied with the Sima family's rule and policies. The land of Hebei has been ravaged by war and has been destroyed by foreign races.

Unfortunately, all fronts of the Wei State were in a tight position at that time, so they could only train troops in Hebei to collect troops. In this way, the people's livelihood was about to improve, because the establishment of the Hebei army returned to the wartime state. The people were tired of corvee and taxes, so how could they live with peace of mind?

Fortunately, after Shu Han ate a large area of ​​Xuzhou, Xuchang, Chenliu, Xiaopei, Puyang and other areas in one breath, he was digesting and did not attack Hebei for a while. This made Wei Guan and others feel a little more at ease, and they just hoped that Sima You would come back every day.

Sima You was originally Sima Zhao's second son, Sima Yan's younger brother. He was adopted by Sima Shi when he was young. He has always been loved and respected by the clan and was also Sima Yan's powerful arm. He was handed over to Sima You to settle down, but Sima You was not a god. The land of Hebei is in ruins and needs to be devoted to people's livelihood and recruit soldiers and horses, which is not in line with the actual situation.

The two sides weigh the pros and cons, and the army is the main focus. After all, Cao Wei needs a powerful force that can curb the Shu army in order to protect the remaining land.

As Sima Zhao's second son, the heir of Sima Shi, and the powerful person within the Sima family, Sima You was naturally selected as Sima Yan's heir. Even Sima Yan's other two younger brothers Sima Jian and Sima Ji did not dare to object.

Because the Sima family is now the master of the country, Sima Yichang, the only one who has survived in Sima Zhao's generation, and the chariot general of the dynasty!

Sima Yichang was named after the Hebei incident, but everything from planning to implementation was left to Sima You. Sima Yichang was able to survive until now and become the only elder in the Sima family, so he naturally had his own excellence. Sima Yan was useless and everyone saw it.

Perhaps Sima Yan could still encourage him to maintain it in a peaceful and prosperous era, but in terms of Sima Yan's talent and personality, the turbulent autumn is not Sima Yan's place to use it. It does not mean that Sima Yan is useless. How could a minister who is the most powerful minister in the court be abolished?

After seeing this, Sima Yichang was at ease in Hebei to train troops. He was concerned about the war in the Central Plains. He didn't have to think about some things, and he knew the result. Because he really knew Sima Yan too much, it was like he knew Sima Zhao.

Sima Yiqiang had an objection to the actions of Wang Ji and others. However, once a person enters old age, there will always be some changes and changes in the moment of twilight. No one can stop this. When everyone is still laughing at the old man's stupidity, but when they are fifty years old, they can feel this personal change.

This is a physiological change that no one can stop.

Sima Yichang is a little younger than Sima Zhao, but Sima Yichang, who has always been very quick to observe, has long seen the crux of the problem. Is Sima Zhao not clear about these principles? How can it be useful to use the principles to persuade?

Sima Yan, who was determined to be emperor, inherited the stubbornness and persistence of his father Sima Zhao. As long as he identified it, he would never change it easily. The difference is that Sima Zhao made a wise decision in his life and made a confused decision before he died. Sima Yan embarked on a wrong path from the beginning.

With the support of the Sima family like Wei Guan, and Sima Yiqiang was behind the scenes, it was only a matter of time before he could appease the dissatisfaction of Hebei.

Even though many Wei people south of the Yellow River surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Sima Yan had long transferred most of the imperial troop to Hebei. Therefore, the strength of the Wei court did not decrease much and remained strong to a certain extent. Many of the elite gentry in the Central Plains were tied to the interests of the Sima family, sharing honor and disgrace, and would not choose to leave because of the decline of the Sima family. Even if they had this idea, they would be unable to escape.

Sima You quickly rushed back to Yedu. As soon as he entered the city, he went to worship his brother Sima Yan's body, which started the great funeral of Duke Jin. Sima Yan was swallowed by the Yellow River. The so-called body was just a wooden carving to wear Duke Jin's robe. This ending made many people mutter secretly and indirectly killed Emperor Wei Cao Huan. Is this retribution?

The country cannot be without a king for a day. After the great mourning, it will be a major event for the country! At this time, I don’t care about any words like the new death of my elder brother. In special circumstances, everything is cheap. Sima You, as the successor of the Sima family and the successor of the Wei Kingdom, is undoubtedly.

Sima Yan had to work hard for several years before he could make a comeback in Hebei, not to listen to the opposition. The Wei State had been destroyed, and all the courts, army, and people could run away. The rest were not very affectionate about the title of Wei State, otherwise they would have run away long ago.

A new country was established, with the name of Jin, Sima You ascended the throne and became the founding monarch of Jin, which was Emperor Wu of Jin. Sima Yi was posthumously named Emperor Xuan, Sima Shi was Emperor Jing, Sima Zhao was Emperor Wen, and Sima Yan was Emperor Min. All the civil and military ministers were awarded each!

Several of them were attracted by Sima Youzhi, who appointed Sima Yi as the King of Henei, and the General was the governor of Bingzhou, supervising all the troops of Bingzhou; Wei Guan was the General of Cavalry, and the Marquis of Dongwu Township led the governor of Jizhou to guard Yedu; Ma Long was the General of Guard, and the Governor of Qingzhou was the governor of Qingzhou; Hu Guang was the Left Pushe, and the General of Zhenjun was stationed in Pingyuan; Sima Jian was the King of Anle Tun Dai County; Sima Ji was the King of Yan to quell the rebellion.

These people are not from the Sima clan, or from the Sima clan, and are the main force in the founding of the Jin State and are also the people who hold great power in the court. Other famous scholars and elders in the court also have rewards. The generals in the army far away on the frontier also reward them according to their merits and select good generals to entrust them with important tasks!

As the capital of Jin State, Ye County was the must-attack place for the Han army in the Central Plains to go north. It was facing the front line. Many elders in the court suggested moving the capital to Nanpi. Nanpi had the obstacles of Yan's generation, and the protection of the plains was used as a buffer, so the Han soldiers were unable to reach the forefront. These proposals echoed the hearts of most court officials, but Wei Guan stood up to refute his argument.

Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima You, may not be better than his brother Sima Yan, but his victory lies in his self-knowledge. Why did Sima Yan lose half of his country? How Cao Wei was annihilated by Shu Han in one fell swoop, and the lessons of the past must be taken. Therefore, Sima You rejected the opposition and decided to make the capital of Ye County, which would demonstrate Jin's determination to fight against the Han Dynasty!

I felt very reluctant to agree, but the ministers still nodded secretly and praised Lianlian. Such a decision seemed dangerous, but in fact it was the most secure decision. Whether it was Jin State or Sima You, if you wanted to refresh the subjects of Hebei and see hope, the first priority was to establish an image and give people confidence.

The establishment of the capital Ye County alone is enough to demonstrate the courage of Emperor Wu of the Great Jin State, but for the powerful Han Dynasty, it is undoubtedly another kind of provocation.

After the court has been rewarded inside and outside, a new policy will be issued. After operating in Hebei for a long time, Sima You has made a decision in his mind about how to manage the land in Hebei. Many of the people in Hebei have moved from the Central Plains, but the situation has not yet been established for several years. The turbulent and uneasy era makes it difficult for these people to stabilize.

To appease the people and reduce taxes and labor service is a must, in addition to that, disarmament!

Restoring agricultural production in Hebei and strengthening various construction projects requires manpower. Young and strong people, as the main component of labor, are indispensable. In order to maintain their combat with the Han army, a large number of young and strong people were pulled into the army and became soldiers, but the land of Hebei cannot support these soldiers at present.

Letting these soldiers take off their armor and return to their fields is equivalent to increasing labor force and promoting production development, and the military's expenditure is correspondingly reduced by a large amount!

The soldiers and generals left after the selection are so-called elite soldiers. They step up the training and equipped with excellent equipment and provide sufficient military pay and food. These elite soldiers/used well will not decrease but increase their combat effectiveness. Although the number is worrying, they can be used far better than the uneven combat state of a large group of soldiers.

The rules and regulations of internal affairs need to be completed by Sima You and the ministers in the court. Diplomacy cannot be relaxed, but instead must be stepped up!

The Wei State and Shu Han are incompatible! The Shu Han has turned into a huge Han Dynasty, and the Wei State has disappeared with the deaths of Cao Huan and Sima Yan. What remains are Jin State and Han Dynasty. Although it is a different medicine, these people have just set up another banner, but in fact there is room and room for reappearance and choice to leave.

The strength of the Han Dynasty is obvious to all. Everyone was overwhelmed by the Han army. This was because of the other party's strength and the frequent use of Sima Yan's moves. Jin State was busy with construction and resting and continuing to fight was really unaffordable, and there was no reason.

The one who was hated by the Han people was Wei, and the State of Wei was gone; the one who was incompatible with the Han people was Wei, and we were Jin.

Jin was composed of Wei's remaining ministers, but he would never inherit the diplomatic relations of Wei. This was not the way to deal with the world, nor was it the purpose of establishing a country. It was not difficult to recommend a puppet emperor under the banner of Cao Wei. The problem was that if you inherit Wei's mantle, you would have to face the covetous eyes of the Han army.

The Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Chan had already spoken that the Wei State had perished. If Sima You and others overestimated their abilities and continued to hold the Wei State's sign, they would have been regarded as enemies by the Han army. How could everyone not understand the meaning of the Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Chan?

This is a choice without a winner. Whether it is inheriting the Wei State or establishing a new dynasty, all you can choose is a direction with small losses. The Jin Dynasty court and the army and the people have lost a lot of manpower because of this matter. This is the price, but what they get is vitality and a glimmer of vitality!

Explain the position and wait for the attitude of the Han Dynasty. This is what Jin State is currently doing. The envoy sent is also a heavyweight - Pei Xiu!

Pei Xiu was not interested in Cao Wei who was still half of the river, and he also held the same attitude towards the so-called Jin State. However, Sima Yan was worried about it a lot of worries in the past few times. Now that the country name has been changed, Pei Xiu has to agree to the mission.

The whole Hebei is staring at the Pei family, and the whole Hebei is the world of Sima You. Sima You has enough time and ability to kill the Pei family. How dare you, Pei Xiu, be obedient?

Pei Xiu was not unpredictable about this scene, but how could he stay outside the big family...

The mission to the Han Dynasty was extremely important. The Jin army in Qingzhou faced the threat of the Han army in Xuzhou, while the Jin and Han armies in Liaodong still did not decide the outcome.

Whether we can sit down with the Han Dynasty to negotiate the space and benefits of Jin State's survival, and what price we have to pay in exchange for it, is unknown. The result of the talk is not about Pei Xiu's ability, but about the strength of Jin State, but what result can save Pei Xiu from the death of his life?

...

When the tragic news of Sima Yan reached Xuchang, the Han Dynasty celebrated the civil and military officials! The Wei State was destroyed and Sima Yan was destroyed. The revival of the Han Dynasty was not enough to unify the whole world? From Hebei and Qingzhou, there were countless ministers and people in the Wei State who secretly came to the south bank. The Han army naturally had to send people to stare at it and appoint outstanding talents.

Liu Chan lived in the palace in Xuchang and did not agree with the reconstruction of the palace proposed by his ministers. This was the palace of the Wei State, so it was naturally not as comfortable as the palaces of the Han people. Although Emperor Xian of Han was here back then, that period of history was simply a difference from today.

Occupying the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty also wanted to reward the three armies on their merits. Various prefectures and counties opened warehouses to provide relief to the people. Prefectures and counties registered populations to divide the land and help the wandering people settle their homes. The Central Plains has experienced more than ten years of war, but now it is a sign of peace, which is hard to come by.

Liu Chan used Ouyang Jian to guard Chang'an; Zhang Xuan and Hao Duyuan were responsible for rebuilding Luoyang City and resisting the Wei army in Henoi; Qi Wannian guarded Guandu to deter the north; Shangguan Yan guarded Puyang to monitor the movements on the north bank; Luo Xian stationed troops in Chenliu to maintain a situation of supporting Guandu and Puyang at any time; Zhuge Zhan stationed troops in Shouchun to manage Lianghuai and other places; Xiuzhe settled in Runan Pingfu County; Jiang Sheng went to the Xuzhou battlefield to supervise all the troops in Xuzhou.

In addition to allocating various places, Jiang Wei and Wen Hu all stayed in Xuchang. They were busy rectifying the army, gathering supplies, and managing the territory. At the same time, they were also waiting for what Liu Chan had expected - the arrival of the prince!

In his spare time, Liu Chan personally went to Yang Hu's mansion and saw Du Yu, who was gradually improving. The Wei State had already perished and Jin State replaced it. Du Yu, as the remnant of Wei State, was deeply saddened. Sima Yan's actions undoubtedly hurt Du Yu's heart, but also gave Du Yu a path without any scruples and devoted himself to the Han Dynasty!

Liu Chan had already planned to use Yang Hu to go to the Jiangnan area to assist Wu Yan in governing the Jiangnan area, and Du Yu to go to Jingzhou to manage Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. The talents of Yang Hu and Du Yu were competent and were also enough to intimidate the villains in Sichuan!!

Huang Chong, who was the first to launch, had arrived in Chengdu, read out Liu Chan's imperial edict, suspended all review activities, and handed over the detained criminals to the Imperial Guards led by Huang Chong to guard. This is a step to stabilize people's hearts and a step to let the ministers in the court jump out of the incident.

There are many things that the entire court has to operate. This matter has reached such a point. There is no need to bother everyone to waste their brains. The key is to rely on Wen Yang’s troops.

If the prediction is correct, Wen Yang's arrival time should be accompanied by the news of pacifying the Central Plains into Sichuan!

Since there is something strange and since the matter is difficult to handle, Liu Chan simply invited the prince out of Sichuan to see who dares to stop the investigation of the case!

...

Xiaotianlang Chen Ling lay on the straw mat with a embarrassed look on his face. At that time, his bitter plan was not very good, and he had long had many doubts with his high-quality ability. His self-righteous approach was just a sheep who had entered the mouth of a tiger and did not know it. Wei Shun would die in the battle in this battle. Why should Xiaotianlang escape?

If the other party has the ability to kill Wei Shun, would it make you, Chen Ling, Xiao Tianlang, run away for so many days?

Thinking of the tragic death of the Hate Tiger and the ruthless middle-aged man, Chen Ling shivered without feeling that he was shivering. The man's martial arts were not necessarily very clever, but his skills seemed to be prepared for killing people. His moves were simple and fast, and he showed no mercy!

I didn't expect that Gao Play would hide such a card, and I was in great trouble...

After continuous interrogation and torture, Chen Ling gritted his teeth and forcibly survived. Even if he fell into Gao Wan's hands, Chen Ling believed that with his will, he would not open his mouth until the moment of death. Without this weight, how could he dare to be an undercover next to the madman Wei Shun?

Before the truth was found out, the court had redressed Wei Yan's unjust case and restored Wei Yan's meritorious title. He even posthumously named Wei Shun as General of the Central Army, Chen Canghou looked for other descendants of the Wei family, etc. These were all ordered by Huang Chong's imperial edict, and after entering Huang Chong's camp, no further interrogation occurred.

Huang Chong is the descendant of the famous minister Huang Quan. He has a great prestige in Sichuan! But even if you have an imperial edict, such actions will make people feel a little unhappy and distrust. However, the news from Hu Leique made everyone silently shut up. The case can reach this point, Your Majesty is already furious!

With Huang Chong's entry into Sichuan, Sima Shengzhi, Xi Zheng, Gao Wan, Fan Jian, Lai Lu and others took action, and the situation in Sichuan suddenly became stable.

A few days later, the news of the great victory in the front came back to Sichuan. Emperor Cao Huan of Wei and Ma Yan of Jin were killed by the Shu army in the war!! The Central Plains land completely fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty!!

The crowd was filled with emotions, cheering and celebrating walking around the streets, as lively as the New Year. Wen Yang's five thousand elite troops also settled in Chengdu, and Wen Yang, who was not dressed in armor, went straight into the palace to read the imperial edict!
