Chapter 323 Conditions (2)

The military mobilization in the Central Plains is quite similar to the situation in Hebei. On the way back, Xiang Xiong deliberately observed the movements of the Han army and the transportation of materials, but could not draw a conclusion. Logically speaking, the Han people only needed to pile up all their troops and materials near Puyang and Xuzhou. The Jin army on the north bank of the Yellow River had no ability to kill again.

The Han people knew the situation of the Jin people very well, and this was helpless. After all, there were too many ways to communicate and obtain information with foreign countries. Jiang Wei, the general of the Han Dynasty, was very familiar with the situation outside the country, which made Xiang Xiong feel very stressed.

The Han people knew a little more than Jin State. With Jiang Wei's superb judgment and wisdom, the words he said were naturally shocking and even more difficult to question.

Although his words and words exaggerate facts and intimidate, the truth is strong. If the Huns invaded Jin State according to Jiang Wei's strategy, the entire Jin State would probably fall apart within half a month! Xiang Xiong naturally did not believe that the Huns had such a powerful and intelligent general, but he also understood the seriousness of the problem. Now that the Han people have put forward the conditions, it depends on Emperor Sima You of Jin.

The war continued, but the people along the way were indifferent to the convoys and troops in the past, as if they were used to this kind of life. The Han army was strict in laws and did not violate the people, and they had little contact. The people lived the life of the people, and the army took the military path. This was unimaginable in the past Wei State that Jin State could not imagine.

Emperor Liu Chanfan of Han was involved in war and reduced the conscription force as much as possible, so as to leave the maximum youth and strongness to maintain farming and other aspects. As the Han Dynasty gradually became stronger, the Han Dynasty, which benefited from this policy, also benefited from it.

Even against Jin State, the Han Dynasty could obviously gather enough troops in the Central Plains, but it worked tirelessly to dispatch regular military forces from Jiangnan, Jingzhou and other places. The hard work of boats and horses did consume manpower, financial resources and time, but it was insignificant compared to the losses caused by mobilizing the entire Central Plains to invest in the war.

In this way, although the domestic economic development of the Han Dynasty was restricted during the war, it still ensured a certain degree of progress, at least not being dragged down by the war. However, Cao Wei or Jin State on the other side, due to the long-term destruction of the war, the domestic economic and livelihood of the people had already suffered a devastating blow.

As each other grows, the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger. The Han Dynasty only needs to use the standing military power from a few regions to flatten Hebei. Of course, Jin will also resist to the end, causing the Han people to pay the price of bleeding!

A few days later, Xiang Xiong finally returned to Yedu. Before he could change his robe, he rushed to the palace. Emperor Jin Sima You was gathering civil and military personnel to wait anxiously. At the entrance of the palace gate, Sima Yiqiang, the King of Hanoi, was waiting for a long time with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Xiang Xiong had come, he didn't have time to ask a few questions, so he hurriedly walked into the palace together.

"I am going on an envoy to return. If you have to bear the entrustment from Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty!" Entering the hall, King Sima Yi of Hanoi stood aside and bowed to report to Xiang Xiong.

As soon as these words were spoken, the monarch and ministers of Jin were in an uproar, and they could not hide their disappointment. If they could not turn wars with the Han people into jade, the future of Jin would be very worrying!

Emperor Jin Sima You glanced at the restless crowd, and still said tensely: "Sir Xiang, don't blame yourself. The two countries of Jin and Han have just stopped their troops. They will inevitably refuse to talk to the Han people in a hurry. Can this trip be rewarded?"

The two countries fought for several months, and each suffered losses of their troops. In this case, when the Han Dynasty negotiated peace, any envoy would probably be powerless. Emperor Jin Sima You knew that this move would be difficult for Xiang Xiong, but he still had some hope in his heart. In any case, the non-aggression with the Han Dynasty should be accelerated.

Xiang Xiong expressed his understanding of the slightly noisy voice in the hall, and knew what the crisis was like in Jin State. He didn't mind at this time: "The Han people have heard of things outside the border, and our withdrawal of troops is a confirmation of this fact. At present, the Han people do not have the intention to negotiate peace... just..."

Hearing that there was a turning point in his words, the civil and military officials of Jin State were talking again, the noisy volume in the hall rose slightly, and everyone's emotions were pulled back by Xiang Xiong's words, and they were very excited. As long as the Han people had the possibility of peace, nothing was a problem.

For Jin State, the most urgent task is to survive, to relieve hidden dangers outside the Great Wall, rather than to use troops to target the Central Plains.

While a little excited, Emperor Sima You of Jin also felt something was wrong. The Han people had already known the movements outside the border. Is this related to the Han people's unactive offensive in the Battle of the Central Plains? If the two were related, then the Han people's idea of ​​attracting the main force of Jin to the southern line would be terrible!

On the other hand, Emperor Jin Sima You himself denied this fact. Jin State is close to the outside world. Not long after I learned about this news, even if the Han people learned about the outside world earlier than the Jin people, they might not dare to make such bets.

If all ethnic groups outside the border destroy Jin and span the land of Hebei, wouldn’t they be more powerful opponents to Han State than Jin State? However, this move by the Han people undoubtedly made the Jin people less trump cards in the negotiations and a little more dilemma. The Han people have time to shirke the responsibility of the Jin people, but Jin State has no time and limits to bargain with the Han Dynasty.

"What are the conditions for the Han people? Just say it!" Emperor Jin Sima You asked, taking a breath and suppressing his nervous mood.

Hearing the Emperor of Jin's question, the civil and military officials also silenced to hear what the conditions for the Han people were. Xiang Xiong has never been a procrastinator, and what he said now is definitely an unspeakable thing.

Xiang Xiong smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Jiang Bo asked his country to cut off Puyang, and only then can he stop the army in Beihai..."

"What!?" Even though Emperor Jin Sima You was prepared, he exclaimed, and the muscles on his face kept twitching, showing that he was very angry.

The ministers were even more buzzing, and the Han people had a big appetite! Puyang and Beihai were important barriers for Jin to move south in the future. Losing these two places means that Jin retreated after the Yellow River. If you want to get involved in the Central Plains in the future, you must pass through the Yellow River water battle!

However, the Han Dynasty's navy was so powerful that it was hidden above the Jin navy. Retreating the Yellow River not only means that Jin will not be able to touch the Central Plains for a long time in the future, but also means that Jin has given up fighting for this former homeland! The requirements put forward by the Han people are really unacceptable, because once accepted, it is equivalent to the two countries blocking the Yellow River and establishing. The Han people may go north with the help of a powerful navy, but the chance of the Jin people going south is small!

The Han people's request to stop the army was to completely occupy the Central Plains and to isolate the possibility of Jin's future entry into the Central Plains. Just sitting at home can get such benefits, and this posture is even more annoying!

"The battle to go south caused many soldiers to lose their lives. Puyang was exchanged for his lives. How could he give it to others?" Jin General Hu Fen stood up and shouted with anger!

Hu Fen was a famous general in the Wei Dynasty. Although he was not as good as Wang Ji, he was also a long-time general in the court. He had always had a great prestige. Now he was filled with righteous indignation and shouted indignantly, suppressing the noisy sound in the hall, and suddenly the hall was quite quiet. Some looked at each other and saw the unhappiness and helplessness in each other's hearts; some sighed to the sky and felt uneasy about the situation and current situation of Jin State; some lowered their eyes and pondered, looking for a solution to the problem in a throbbing.

Xiang Xiong smiled bitterly and said, "The troops and horses in the Central Plains are frequently mobilized, and the Han army along the Yellow River is probably already arranged properly. This turnover is to seek the opinions of Your Majesty. At the same time, I also hope that there will be some turning point in the outside world. This is still possible to talk to the Han people."

Seeing this, Emperor Jin Sima You shook his head and sneered: "The Han people have a good plan, so I have to ced the land of the two counties, which is really a bully!!"

King Sima Yi of Hanoi frowned and said, "The Han army has heavy troops stationed outside Puyang and Beihai. Now our army has all drawn northwards. I'm afraid the remaining troops...it's difficult to hold on..."

"Hu Fen is willing to go to guard the city, so that the Han people will never return. Please be sure to be clear!" Hu Fen glanced at the King of Hanoi and asked for his orders. He was very dissatisfied with the King of Hanoi's implications! The brave soldiers and officials in the court all supported Hu Fen, and even followed the example and refused to cede land to the Han Dynasty.

The surging crowd made the entire court full of a heroic atmosphere. What the words of King Sima Yi of Hanoi were very simple. With the current situation of Jin State, even if the land was not cedeed to the Han Dynasty, it would be difficult to defend the Beihai and Puyang. After all, a large number of troops were resting and going north, taking into account the Yellow River defense line, there was no army that could provide support to Beihai and Puyang.

The Han army can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack these two cities, and it is only a matter of time before the fall. Since this is the case, why not use this as a condition to exchange for peace with the Han Dynasty, which is better than the two countries still in a state of war after being captured by the Han Dynasty and may be attacked by the Han Dynasty at any time.

The State of Jin is always the one who is fighting for a while and showing off one's courage. Since the Han people understand the situation outside the border, they are equivalent to grasping the lifeline of the people of Jin. Not only is it a matter of putting in trouble, but they also need to get huge benefits to stop.

"Even if we sacrificed ourselves to protect the country, how do we know if the Han people are willing to keep their promises?" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, with his nose slight attitude in his tone obviously not trusting the Han Dynasty, and he felt a little resentful.

When someone shouted, there were naturally people in the court's civil and military service. Now the hall seemed to be in an uproar. It was related to the safety of the Jin State. At this moment, people were panicked and everyone had completely lost their calmness in their discussions.

The huge pressure fell in my heart, and Emperor Jin Sima You was also thinking about this issue with a serious look on his face. The negotiations with the Han people had to continue, but the Han people had already figured out the old background of Jin. Any tricks at this time would probably be useless.

If you continue playing, you can’t afford to play Jin, not the Han Dynasty. Whether you are watching the tiger in the mountains or taking advantage of the situation, no matter which choice the Han people make, there are profits to be profitable. The situation is here, and the position of Jin is a position to suffer losses. So what can it do?

All the remarks in the court must be taken into account, and everyone's emotions are understandable. However, Sima You, the king of a country, only one priority is given at this time, which is the safety of Jin!

"I know everyone's feelings very well. I also feel heartbroken by the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty today! However, the most urgent task is to protect the country and the country. Fighting on both sides is not the best strategy!" As soon as Emperor Jin Sima You said this, the civil and military officials in the court suddenly became much quieter again.

So what can be done if Hu Fen goes to Puyang and Beihai, can he really defend it? One place is Puyang and the other place is Beihai, and the Han people launched a large number of troops to fight across the Yellow River. How should Jin State respond? Calm down and face the reality, and then he realized that the arrogant and invincible each other are so weak now.

Immersed in the glory of Wei that day did not help the rise of Jin. It was just a feeling worth remembering but inappropriate...

Even Hu Fen, who insisted on not letting a little land, did not know the situation of Jin State? The meat was on the sticky plate, Jin State was the dish of the Han Dynasty. Seeing that Emperor Jin expressed his attitude, Hu Fen and others knew whether they should continue to persist. Although it was contrary to their own wishes and emotions, everything focused on national safety.

...

A large number of Jin troops and materials have already begun to transfer to the north, so such a big disturbance can naturally be hidden from the people in the country. In fact, the people of Jin also have doubts about why the army heading south of Jin suddenly withdrew from the country.

It was clearly captured Puyang County, and it was even more difficult to distinguish with the Han army. What is the reason and what is the reason to withdraw for no reason? And it is not just a withdrawal, but a large number of military supplies heading north. There was no news in the north. Why is this?

The people didn't know why, and rumors began to spread everywhere. It was not intentional, but the people's real reactions. Some people made judgments based on their own experience, some like to say something unrealistic to attract attention, and some talked about it after drinking. In short, the people's discussions are no less lively than in the court, and everyone has a feeling of self-inflicted danger and indescribable panic.

But everyone's face is as if nothing is happening. What the Buddha said is just an ordinary topic. The uneasiness in his heart is always restless, making everyone more or less like to listen to some new news. It is not surprising that rumors arise.

The family of the dead were worshiping the family members who were buried in the bones by the Yellow River. The crying and crying and shouting were heard for miles, but the longing for their relatives gradually became heavier. In the battle of the Central Plains, the Jin State lost troops and the Han army and killed half a pound and eight taels, and did not gain any advantage, nor did they gain any benefits.

Compared with the overall situation in the army, the Yellow River Navy of Jin was undoubtedly the most miserable. The Yellow River Navy, which was finally established with great effort, fought fiercely day and night under the fierce attack of the Han Dynasty naval army. Now only 30% of the 100% of the 100% are suffering heavy losses. This also caused a lot of doubts and speculations about whether Jin could have enough power to resist the Central Plains' forces going north in the future.

The navy is the key to protecting the Yellow River and controlling the power. Both offense and defense are indispensable. Once the protection of the navy is gone, the state of Jin will only be beaten... When they see the benefits obtained by the Han Dynasty's development of the sea, the people of Jin were also jealous, but they really don't have enough energy and ability to build the navy at the moment, so they can only take a temporary rest and adjust.

At this moment, the news that foreign races outside the Great Wall were about to come to the people, and they were popular for a while, which caught the government off guard!

The pain of the alien race has not yet been cured. Now that the news has come again, the people of Hebei are suddenly in a huge panic. It was too late for the government to discover it. Although they tried their best to suppress the rumors, the effect was not very obvious. The fear spread and spread, and even the officials who were in charge were uneasy to ask themselves.

The source of the news was in Rong State. Wang Rong did not mind informing the people of Rong State in advance, but he did not mind that the news was circulating among the people since then, which affected and affected Jin State. It was not said that Wang Rong did it intentionally, but he was deliberately indulging it.

Once a panic develops among the people, Jin State will inevitably devote all its efforts to the outside world, and the status of Rong State and the relationship between the two countries suddenly become an urgent matter. You should know whether Rong State is on the same front as Jin State when all ethnic groups outside the country come!

Rong State needs to rely on Jin State, and Jin State also needs a strong ally to support him when facing a strong enemy. Wang Rong was sure of the attitude of Emperor Jin Sima You, but instead did not rush, trained his soldiers with confidence, and actively prepared all the items needed to defend the city to prepare for war!

King Sima Ji of Yan was very busy. He wanted to form a new army, and he also needed to plan materials, build fortifications, and set up road blocks in surveying maps. He had to find ways to open up the relationship outside the border and spread the news that the Jin State had been granted the title of the Xiongnu leader Liu Yuan.

It is easy to send a message to ordinary people, but at this critical moment it is really difficult for King Yan Sima Ji to pass on such news to the Lord of the Huns. The Han people were not welcome outside the Great Wall. It is natural for humans to disclose some information to exchange money for the Han people, but in turn, no one was willing to pass on the news from the Han people.

Those who leak information cannot be caught for a while. Everyone knows this news. Who can you doubt?

But passing the message not only requires the words to be truly passed to Liu Yuan, the leader of the Huns, but also bringing back Liu Yuan's attitude. This time, not only was the identity exposed, but even the position was exposed. At that time, it would be enough to find a few hats - not to mention that killing people outside the border is like a joke...

Who is willing to do this that is easy to lose your head? Even if you buy it with a lot of money, how can ordinary people get in touch with the senior executives of the Huns?

All ethnic groups outside the Great Wall seemed to have begun to pay attention to the movements of Jin in Hebei, and were still very interested in this land that had been ravaged by their own cavalry. If the Lord of the Huns Liu Yuan had long been interested in the involvement in Hebei, he would not have paid attention to the situation in Hebei at this time.

But no matter what, the movements of several ethnic groups near the border are becoming increasingly frequent, and it is unknown whether they are testing, applying pressure, or having their own purpose.

However, this signal clearly reminded the whole country of Jin to move quickly!
