Chapter 372 The invasion is like fire(1/2)

When the news spread that Liu Cong, the Han lord of the Huns, led a large army to suddenly kill Chang'an City, there were both willful and unmoving Jin troops like Suo, and naturally there were also loyal ministers from Jin who were dedicated to the king.

For example, the right prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Grand Governor, and the King of Nanyang Sima Mo in Shangji City, Tianshui County.

"Dear your family, the barbarians suddenly arrived in Chang'an and the emperor was trapped in the city. Should we get sick and rescue them quickly?"

Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, was huge and weighed more than 300 kilograms. There were even rumors that the king of Nanyang weighed eight hundred kilograms.

He sat in the lobby of the Shangqian Palace and indeed looked like a steady royal family.

However, facing a group of generals and subordinates, his tone was not majestic, but instead revealed his caution, as if he was afraid of offending these generals.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that at this time, the Di chief Pu Hong of Lueyang and Linwei has already rebelled, and the Di Qiang in other counties and counties are all unreliable! In such a critical moment, you shouldn't go to this muddy water!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Chun, the lower general of the King of Nanyang.

Zhang Chun's thinking obviously had many supporters, and many generals agreed.

"Yes, General Zhang's words are reasonable. The emperors of Chang'an include Suo Jun, Qu Yun and others. Why do we need to wait to save them?"

"That's right, the Chang'an court said it was the emperor, but in fact it was all controlled by Suo and Qu Yun. Now Suo has not sent troops in Anding County. What are we in a hurry?"

"The general also felt that he should not be in a hurry. It would be best to wait until the Huns and Huns were bleeding from their heads under Chang'an City, and Suo and Qu Yun were exhausted. Your Highness sent troops to rescue Chang'an again. This is the best time!"

The generals led by Zhang Chun are all old subordinates of Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, while Suo, Qu Yun and others are all old subordinates of Sima Yong, the king of Hejian. These two factions are originally in conflict with each other.

Since Sima Ye ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhang Chun and others felt even more indignant. The emperor who spread the word about Chang'an was a puppet controlled by Suo and Qu.

Now that the Huns and Huns are raiding Chang'an, they can be used to kill the might of the two of them.

After hearing this, Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, heard this, a wave of hesitation appeared on his face.

Sima Bao has been very knowledgeable in poetry, calligraphy and literature since he was a child, and has a lot of literary talent. He has made great achievements in the education of sages and philosophers.

Coupled with the good family tradition of the Sima family in Hanoi, we naturally know the principle of "serving the king with loyalty".

The emperor is besieged in Chang'an City!

So, after hearing the proposal of Zhang Chun and other generals to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, Sima Bao said.

"Since you all feel that Chang'an is safe for the time being, I will order the officials to prepare food, forage, armor and guards, and when the time is right, we will send troops to help the king!"

Facing the Nanyang King Sima Bao who followed the advice, the generals led by Zhang Chun were very happy, and they praised the Nanyang King for his comprehensive thinking and thoughtfulness and the hope for the revival of the country in the Great Jin Dynasty.

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up in the crowd.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that you should send troops to Chang'an quickly at this time!"

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that the person who was talking was eight feet tall, with a shiny face and full of murderous aura. He looked like he was not a good guy to mess with.

"Dugu Chen, how can you explain this?"

Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, said very kindly.

This person's name is Chen An, and he is an old general of Sima Bao's father Sima Mo.

Now, Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, can settle down in Shangbi, Tianshui County, thanks to Chen An.

It was Chen An who led his army to drive away the former governor of Qinzhou Pei Bao, which made it clear for Sima Bao.

Therefore, among the people, Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, had the greatest trust in Chen An, and even had to be faintly above Zhang Chun and others.

"Your Highness, now Suo Chu and Qu Yun control the government. Most of the powerful people in Guanzhong, Eight Hundred Miles, only know that there are these two people, but not that there are Your Highness."

"Now that the Huns and Huns are plundering Chang'an, if His Highness can send troops east to serve the king, he will definitely be supported by the people of Guanzhong. In this way, the displaced scholars and people will definitely come to join us."

"Then use this to form a soldier, and use his kindness and power to win over the Di Qiang tribes on the frontier. The strong military strength in His Highness will definitely exceed that of Suo and Qu!"

"In this way, even if Your Majesty lives in Long, as long as the time comes, he can lead a large army eastward to Guanzhong, and great things can be accomplished!"

"If you only know how to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, wouldn't you miss the great opportunity to gather the civil servants of Guanzhong?"

After listening to the words of General Chen An, the young Nanyang King Sima Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now when Chen An opposed the "watching the fire from the other side of the river", Sima Bao thought Chen An wanted to persuade him to be a loyal minister?

With his current military strength, if he went head-on to fight with the Huns, he might have to run to the Western Qiang to herd sheep.

Fortunately, Chen An’s plan did not mean this.

Sima Bao already understood that Chen An's meaning was to let him take this opportunity to enter the Yongzhou Plain in Guanzhong, where there was a large population. Maybe it was because the Huns attacked and wanted to escape, so they could all be received from Qinzhou.

In today's world, as long as there is a population, it is much better than occupying a few sparsely populated areas.

"What General Chen said is reasonable!"

At this time, another general, Yang Tao, spoke up for Chen An's proposal.

Some of the centrist generals were also shaken.

After all, the wealth of the Guanzhong Plain is not comparable to that of Qinzhou in Longshang. Even though Yongzhou has experienced disasters, as long as he is willing to use force, he can still squeeze out a lot of oil and water.

Almost none of the Nanyang kings present thought they were going to fight for the king.

Whether it is sending troops or not, they are actually thinking about how to preserve their own strength or how to strengthen their own strength.

As for the emperor in Chang'an City, if the Huns were captured, these people would happily support Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, to be the emperor.

You should know that there are very few royal families in the Jin Dynasty. In addition to King Langya of Jiangdong, Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, is considered a close royal family.

After seeing Chen An and Yang Tao put forward new suggestions, Zhang Chun, the general who had always been in conflict with the two, was displeased.

"I think that Guanzhong is in chaos and there is no need to send troops. Just guard the Longshang Pass and wait for the refugees to come by themselves. Why do you need such trouble?"

"If the army encounters the Huns and Huns and Huns, who can afford to lose any mistakes?"

Chen An and Yang Tao are both famous generals, especially Chen An is the most brave in the army. He can fight with a knife in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, and is also very supportive of the soldiers. Zhang Chun has long been crazy jealous.

If the King of Nanyang sent troops eastward, Chen An would definitely be the general. In this way, Chen An's prestige would only increase and it would not take long to threaten Zhang Chun's status.

Therefore, Zhang Chun absolutely did not want to see such a result, so he naturally opposed sending troops to Yongzhou east.

"Haha, this time we go to Guanzhong, we can summon various Di Qiang troops to send troops together. In this way, we can gather 30,000 cavalrymen. Even if we encounter the Huns and Huns, we will not be afraid at all!"

"If the war is unfavorable, you can definitely get out of here!"

Chen An said loudly.

He was famous in the army, and his words naturally had prestige, and immediately gained support from many generals who wanted to take advantage of the war to make a fortune.

Seeing this, Zhang Chun was even more angry.

"The Di people in Lueyang have all surrendered to the Hulu, and the other Di Qiang are also ill-behaved. How can you listen to your orders?"

Chen An laughed.

"Haha, the Diqiang is not a single piece, and it is difficult to tame the various divisions. What I want is nothing more than a huge profit!"

"Now we are going to Yongzhou, isn't it just an opportunity to get a lot of profit?"

"I'm afraid that the Di Qiang tribes are not only willing, but also rush to come!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded and said that if they were to march east to Yongzhou, they would have to rely on all the food and drink along the way to replenish supplies. As for taking advantage of the supply, it is inevitable to take more supplies.

For those Di Qiang barbarians who farm sheep every day, being able to go to Yongzhou to plunder is a better harvest than a year.

In this way, in the end, most of the generals turned around and agreed to send troops to Yongzhou.

As for whether to go to Chang'an City to serve the king or help the people of Yongzhou move, it depends on the situation.

Anyway, when the Di Qiang tribes under the rule of the Nanyang king heard the news of sending troops, they all cheered, all prepared horses and prepared a large number of pack horses, looking at the situation that they were going to help the people of Yongzhou move.

=·=·=·=·=·=·

Yongzhou, Chang'an.

Unlike the cheers of the Qinzhou generals under Sima Bao, the emperor Sima Ye and other emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty in Chang'an City were filled with sorrow.

The 100,000 troops of the Huns and Huns came straight to Chang'an without caring about the risks of the retreat under the leadership of the pseudo-lord Liu Cong.

The general Suo Chen, who had high hopes, did not come to help for a long time. The general of the cavalry, Qu Yun, who was alone, could only lead his troops to restrain him from a distance and dared not face the head-on battle with the barbarians.

"Your Majesty, the price of grain in the city is high. Now one or two gold can only be exchanged for one dou of rice. Most of them are priceless and there is no market. The food in stock in the government is also consumed hugely every day. If you don't think of a solution, you may not be able to support it for long!"

The official in charge of the treasury looked full of sorrow when he said this. It was obvious that the situation in Chang'an had been very bad for half a month.

However, although the emperor Sima Ye, who had just turned thirteen, was a young man, he really understood these government affairs.

It also depends entirely on the ministers to discuss and then issue orders in his name.

Now the emperor is in power in Chang'an City, the two are the minister Song Chang and the minister Jilang.

"Now the barbarians are besieging the city, where is there any other way!"

The young emperor Sima Ye said with red eyes.

He never expected that the Hulu, who had been in trouble in the northern region, Anding and other places, would dare to go straight to the city of Chang'an, and would have the attitude of fighting for life and not ending.

"Your Majesty, there are too many elderly, weak, women and children in the city now. These people are useless to defend the city and can only waste food and grass. It is better to order people to dismiss them from the city, so they can save more food and grass."

The attendant Song Chang said helplessly.

"The barbarians are rampant outside the city. If the old, weak, women and children are driven outside the city, wouldn't they be sheep entering the tiger's mouth? How could I bear it? I heard that these barbarians are used to eating meat and meat, especially those who like to eat women's hearts and livers. How can I bear it?"

The thirteen-year-old emperor Sima Ye said here, and his already red eyes immediately burst into tears.
