"Bo Yu, this matter is very ridiculous. When the great Jin Dynasty was founded, it actually relied on donations from wealthy families to send troops. How could it be? "Wei Shu was over 80 years old, and he sat with a stick with an indignant face, and there was a lot of complaints in his words.

Half a day has passed since the court decided to deal with the Central Plains. All the wealthy families in Hebei were summoned by the county government to pay money and grain to support the front line. Everyone was shocked when they heard the news. The country went to impose its own treasury to allocate money and grain, and everyone also paid heavy taxes. Why can the people invest at this moment?

Some were furious, while others were closed-door, but after inquiring about it, everyone understood that this was what the richest man in the country had never advocated. The wealthy families in the court donated money without hesitation. How could they say that when they were rich and wealthy families of the state and county?

As you catch up with you, you have countless property. Donating some is just a drop in the bucket. But who is not hurt when you showdown? The complaints are these wealthy families, but they always have scapegoats when they are exploited. Poor people from all over the world are oppressed and exploited by local tyrants. For a while, the whole of Hebei was in a turmoil, and they were all complaining about sending troops.

Wei Guan also sat in the seat with a bamboo stick and closed his eyes and said, "The King of Hanoi joined the war, and the lords were arrogant. We are just fighting for this. What can you do if your Majesty agrees?"

Wei Shu sighed, "Hey... I won't say that the conquest is quite long, and it is impossible for the major tyrants to invest money to support the front line for a long time. Just because of the reactions caused by various places, Hebei may be in chaos again..."

Wei Guan nodded and said, "It's time for this, and we have no choice but to hope to win as soon as possible in the future. In this way, Hebei still has a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, both inside and outside will be a mess, and you and I will become the laughing stock of others."

"Your Majesty chose the Queen's affairs, but there was still no resolution after this matter. Bo Yu thought what Your Majesty was going to do?" Wei Shu also saw it with his own eyes. He knew that he had done his best. The topic changed to the matter of Emperor Jin Sima You's election to the Queen.

According to the initial speculation, the decision to fight or be harmonious is quite related to which woman to choose as the queen. Emperor Jin Sima You chose He Zeng’s side of war, but did not use this to select which woman he was going to choose as the queen. Obviously, Emperor Jin had his own measures, but if the ministers were unable to understand Your Majesty’s thoughts, they would be used in the court and become His Majesty’s stumbling block.

The virtuous and beautiful women of the Wei family are the best choice, while the graceful and noble women of the He family are also rare women. Whether it is the Wei family or the He family, they are all large clans that have been passed down since the Wei State. They have a sect and disciples all over the court and the country, and their prestige is very high. However, the He family is rich and can match the country, and the Wei family is rich and powerful, but they are not as good as the He family.

Then he never hid his needles in the cotton and was very versatile, but his circle was much more diverse than Wei Guan. However, Wei Guan was a straightforward person and offended many people.

As one goes up and down, today there is a decision to fight the main battle, and the calls for the selection of He's daughter are growing and there are already signs of it.

Wei Guan's eyes drooped slightly and said calmly: "The emperor has his own considerations, but we can guess. I think the emperor is quite afraid of the King of Hanoi. I must be careful when I go to you and I will go to the court in the future."

The civil and military officials in the court lived together day and night to discuss national affairs, and they had already known the temperament of Emperor Jin Sima You. Even if He Zeng, who was in charge of fighting, did he know that His Majesty's decision today, was actually the King of Hanoi behind the scenes that fueled the fire?

Although this matter is reasonable, if the influence of the Hanoi King overtakes the Emperor of Jin over time, there may be major changes in the Sima family.

Wei Shu naturally knew that Wei Guan wanted to remind himself that he should not easily confront the Hanoi King in the court in the future, and smiled and said, "What's the point of being a traitor!"

...

The Jin army was mobilized frequently, and money and grain from all over the country were continuously transported to Yedu. The Han Han also arranged his eyes and ears in Hebei, and the Jin people did not cover up the news, so the Han army on the south bank of the Yellow River quickly received the information.

Qi Wannian, the Han general stationed in Guandu, showed an excited expression when he heard the news, and said, "Hmph! The people of Jin finally couldn't hold back. This general was itchy, hahahahaha! Come on! Tell Xuchang quickly!"

Qi Wannian trained his troops day and night in Guandu, but the Han army in various places had some actions in the previous battles, but the Han army in Guandu did not make any moves. Qi Wannian asked for the battle many times but was very depressed, but now he saw that the Jin people were in a state of killing him, and he was immediately overjoyed and ready to show his strength.

There were 25,000 guards in Guandu, and there were 5,000 regular guards, and the rest were 10,000 infantry and cavalry. The infantry were all old soldiers under Qi Wannian's command, and the cavalry were all elite soldiers under Qi Wannian's command. The infantry wore strong armor, but they were smart, with light steps and high fighting spirit; the cavalry rode their horses and bent their bows and arrows, and everyone was good at riding and shooting skills, and they were even more invincible!

If we say that the elite level of the defenders on the south bank of the Yellow River is the Han army in Guandu!

The Han generals Hao Duyuan, Zhang Suan, Liu Shao and others were stationed near Luoyang. The work of rebuilding Luoyang had just begun. The Hanoi on the other side of the river was the place where the heavy troops of Jin State were stationed. Once the Jin people came, the former site of Luoyang would inevitably become a battlefield.

Hao Duyuan had six thousand elite troops under his command, and Zhang San's 10,000 Han troops were all able to participate in the war. These troops were inevitably a bit weaker than others. After hearing the news, Hao Duyuan and Zhang San and Liu Shao discussed for a moment, while passing the news into Xuchang and requesting a new force. On the other hand, they sent people to Chang'an to warn.

The Chang'an Guardian Ouyang Jian is also a capable official. Many Western troops gathered near Chang'an. If the Chang'an Han army came to rush for help, there would naturally be no fear of the Jin people attacking on the battlefield in Luoyang. The Han people were not afraid, but it was not that the Jin people would not kill them if they knew that you were not afraid.

Moreover, the military strength of Jin State was not as strong as that of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, once the war started, the Jin State would inevitably focus on attacking one or two targets. At that time, perhaps a region faced more than 100,000 soldiers!

The news spread throughout the Central Plains for only a few days. The people were frightened and anxious when they heard that they were about to start a war. The Han Dynasty's occupation of the Central Plains brought about changes in various policies, and the people had not fully adapted, and some people even had great resistance.

At this time, the Han Dynasty emperor killed the prince and killed a large number of civil and military officials. This made people worry about whether the powerful Han Dynasty could last. It made people even more interested in seeing that the Han Dynasty was not impeccable. At least two princes were killed one after another, which to some extent was also a shame for the Han royal family.

If there weren't certain problems within the royal family, why did both princes choose to take risks?

Jin chose to gather troops at this time to fight across the river. Some people saw hope, while others were at a loss. Most of the officials in the Central Plains were survivors of Wei. Jin escaped from Wei, but it was not Wei, but Jin.

In other words, the remnants of Wei have been conquered by the Han Dynasty, and now they want to become slaves of Jin?

The common people and officials are like this, and the noble families behind them have their own thoughts, but they dare not make a statement. Because shortly after the news came out of Hebei, some of the noble families in various places had been copied by the Han army overnight and were beheaded. This ruthless move naturally aroused public anger, but the evidence presented by the local government is convinced!

I understand that at this time, I knew that this was the credit of Hu Leique, a secret organization of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, I also knew that rash actions at the moment would only cause trouble. Hebei’s big fanfare naturally depends on the reaction of the Central Plains, otherwise it would be just a killing, so why do you have to make such a big deal?

The Han people naturally knew the other party’s intentions, so He Pan devoted himself to work after leaving Huleique. In addition, the people mobilized from Yongliang, Jingzhou and Jiangnan conducted large-scale searches and suppression of the noble families in the Central Plains and those who kept in contact with the Jin people!

The so-called pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, every time you pull out the family, you will get new gains. No one would rather die than surrender. Even if there is one who would rather die than surrender, not everyone would rather die than surrender. Torturing, coercion, and temptation are all methods. There are always people who reveal their accomplices and others. As long as you invest enough manpower and strength, it is not difficult to destroy those meticulous works that secretly create rumors.

The two countries are fighting openly and secretly in public opinion, but it is actually related to the ownership of the Central Plains. If internal rumors cannot be suppressed, it means that the hearts of the Central Plains belong to Jin, then the Han army is equivalent to internal and external troubles and has to be careful to prevent them. The Jin people can prescribe the right medicine and fight to drive away the Han army under the attack inside and outside.

Zhuge Zhan, the Han general who had just arrived in Xuchang City, rushed to the general's mansion to ask Jiang Wei for his meaning. Jiang Wei studied under Zhuge Wuhou, but Zhuge Zhan was the son of Zhuge Wuhou. The two of them were the same family, but this was not the case.

Zhuge Wuhou worked hard on state affairs and military affairs, and had little time to teach his children. Jiang Wei could get replenishment at all times. Therefore, Jiang Wei's style has many similarities with Zhuge Wuhou, all of which are forgot to eat and sleep, and abandoned private affairs. Zhuge Zhan lives in Chengdu all year round and is influenced by his mother Huang. He is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is full of spirituality.

"Zhan knows that the general should not work hard, but suddenly he has to take the initiative to ask for advice. I hope the general will forgive me!" Zhuge Zhan came to the room with great dust and bowed to Jiang Wei's slightly surprised gaze.

Jiang Wei nodded slightly, raised his hand and helped Jiang Wei up, and then retreated out immediately. At this time, Jiang Wei signaled Zhuge Zhan to sit down first, narrowed his eyes and said, "Siyuan is coming quickly, but the people of Jin are interested in raising troops?"

Zhuge Zhan nodded and said, "What the general said is exactly. Emperor Sima You of Jin mobilized all kinds of people to gather in Yedu, which was very meaningful to go south. The current situation in the Central Plains is not suitable for war. At present, the people of Jin are just temptations and believe that the war will begin soon!"

"Well... the Jin people's actions seem to be tempted, but in fact they are covering their eyes and ears. We must prevent them from secretly visiting Chen Cang. Your Majesty entrusts military power to Siyuan, which is very consistent with my intention. This is the seal of the general, so I hand it over to Siyuan." Jiang Wei twisted his beard with his hand, took out the seal of the general from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Zhan.

Zhuge Zhan knelt on the ground and took the seal. Seeing Jiang Wei closed his eyes and said nothing, he knew his intentions, he slowly left the room...

When Zhuge Zhan went to visit Jiang Wei, Huang Chong, who had arrived from Sichuan almost at the same time, had already summoned more than a hundred civil and military officials from Xuchang, including Liu Bian, Liu Yin, Wen Hu, Jiang Cong, Zhuge Huai, etc., to prepare the mansion in the temporary house, waiting for Zhuge Zhan to arrange all things.

...

Puyang, on the bank of the Yellow River.

Liang Zhengtong, the Han army's Puyang garrison, guarded Puyang with more than 30,000 soldiers. Since he heard that the Jin people gathered their troops, he began to send more troops to patrol the banks of the Yellow River day and night. The Han navy had the ability to land from most shores. The Jin people had the ability to deal with the Han people for a long time, so they naturally followed the Han people's practices.

Therefore, the attack location of the Jin people heading south may remain unchanged, but the location of landing does not have to be in a usually critical place.

The attacker's methods have changed, and the defender must naturally invest more abilities, so that the enemy's whereabouts can be discovered in advance and avoid being caught off guard by them.

The night is dark, dark clouds cover the moon, and fog covers the shore. Such weather is rare, but you should be vigilant once it occurs.

There were five Han soldiers patrolling the riverside in groups, and there were continuous patrolling along the coast with lanterns and torches. Every fifteen people were responsible for the five-mile coastal defense, and three other groups came to take shifts every hour. This kind of weather was not far away, but if a large number of Jin army warships attacked, the light could still be identified.

There is a military camp every twenty miles, with 2000 soldiers in the military camp responsible for rotating comrades on the shore and local guards. There is a dirt platform inside the camp, which is quite tall. Once an emergency occurs, it can ignite the beacon fire and smoke to convey the warning.

Not long after the Han people occupied Puyang, they experienced another great war. The project to build beacon towers on the bank of the Yellow River to monitor the movements and movements on the river surface was not yet implemented. Moreover, Puyang, a frontier city, cannot build a large-scale construction and start labor to do these things.

If the two countries form an alliance, this is possible, but before that, there is no time and manpower to handle this matter.

In order to ensure the safety of Puyang, Liang Zheng even stationed two 3,000 troops in front of Puyang City as a barrier.

The soldiers, civilians and people in Puyang City were sleeping soundly, but a fire suddenly ignited outside the city!!

The fire soared into the sky, accompanied by the shouts of killing, instantly awakened the soldiers and people in Puyang City, and made Liang Zheng suddenly get up and rushed to the top of the city without having enough time to put on his clothes and armor.

The fire broke out in two camps outside the city, but the military camps and patrol soldiers before those two camps did not send any warning messages back in advance!

The Han army on the top of the city looked into the distance in panic, and suddenly felt their neck tightening and were actually pulled off the top of the city by a force!!

A series of screams came, and countless black shadows leaped onto the city wall and slashed their swords! The Han army was not prepared for a moment, and was frightened again, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Although they resisted, the Jin army, which had been climbing on the wall for a long time, was now swarming, with the intention of capturing the city wall!

The loud noise was deafening and resounded throughout the night sky. It was the sound of rushing to attack the four doors, and it even sounded the death knell of the Han army. The Jin army silently crossed the two lines of defense, and then used some means to pass the blockade in front. While the Han army outside the city was attacked, it launched a secret attack, which was unexpectedly attacking him!

He kept crying and fell into a pool of blood or was left behind the city tower. Some fell outside the city, and some were knocked into the inner city. The Han army had not had much force on patrol at night, and was hit by the full force of the Jin army to suffer heavy losses.

The Jin soldiers on the top of the city became more and more brave as they fought, and they were trying to occupy the entire city wall. But at this moment, a group of Han soldiers rushed up from under the city. Some were incomplete with Serie A, some were naked, and they shouted coldly, roared constantly, and waved the weapons in their hands and came towards them like madmen!

The leader of the Han general was only over thirty years old, and his iron spear was scattered in the night like stars. When his opponent saw the spear clearly, it was already the spear's momentum, and he fell down. The defenders in the city reacted poorly and had no time to pick up their weapons and came to rescue the city.

At this time, I didn’t bother to understand how the Jin army attacked Puyang. The only idea was to repel the Jin army and protect Puyang City!

The general of the Jin army, Miao Bo, held an iron spear and stepped onto the city wall through the ladder. The iron spear stabbed and poked, and the two naked Han soldiers fell to the ground and twitched a few times.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! Kill all the Han dogs and seize my hometown!" Miao Bo saw that there were many Jin troops on the top of the city and there were pitifully few Han troops. Even if there were many Han troops, it was difficult for him to counterattack and seize control of the city wall for a while, and he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, the Han general snorted coldly and spread the spear in his hand. He rushed all the way with force. The Jin army left several blood marks on his body along the way but could not stop it!

"Oh? You deserve my Miao Broadcasting battle!" Miao Broad's pupils shrank, his eyes narrowed slightly and strided towards him!

The man scolded angrily: "Those who steal chickens and dogs dare to speak wildly, look at the spear!"

The cold stars turned into silver light and rushed straight to the door of Miao Bo in an instant, and the spear did not reach a sharp energy attack!

"Ha! The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. If you have any complaints, you can go to the underworld!" Miao Bo sneered, suddenly jumped up, and the iron spear first pushed away the opponent's spear, and then suddenly went to the ground!

"Ah!!!" The Han general's spear was blocked, and suddenly a huge force came, and his body was stagnant! It was at this moment of stagnation that Miao Bo's spear actually stabbed the Han general's naked feet!

This Han general was eager to kill the enemy, but he had no time to wear the boots. At this time, he was severely injured and could not move! The iron gun penetrated through the barefoot and pierced into the brick. The Jin army around him swung his sword and rushed to kill him. Before he could come back to his senses, the poor brave general was dismembered by the corpse and chopped into meat paste...

The Han army in Puyang City continued to kill the city, and fought fiercely at various gates, striving to protect the city. The Jin army outside the city also sacrificed their lives to attack and kill, vowing to protect the fruits of victory!

The six thousand Han army outside the city were also in a tough battle at this time. The Jin general Zhang Fang waved his sword and was invincible. In an instant, three or four Han generals were ruined. The six thousand Han army had no heads and were suddenly attacked and were defeated, with corpses everywhere.

Countless unarmed soldiers were killed without time to resist, and they were terrible...

Countless Jin warships on the surface of the Yellow River were revealed. The Han soldiers patrolling on the shore were long attracted by the war in the rear, and were unable to resist the landing of the Jin army, so they could only retreat.

Although mobilizing troops to show off their power and exert force, it is to put pressure on the Central Plains and observe the reaction. However, the way to use troops is both right and strange, and it is not easy to shake the Central Plains with the power of Jin. While the Han people were still hesitating how to deal with it, Jin had already gathered the first troops to launch a surprise attack and attacked Puyang City!

More than 20 miles south of Puyang City, more than 5,000 Han soldiers rushed to the road overnight. Seeing the fire in Puyang from afar, Han general Liu Chu couldn't help but be surprised and said, "The people of Jin are moving so quickly! Send people to report to Xuchang! Everyone will follow me to kill Jin dogs!"
Chapter completed!
