In the second half of the first month, perhaps because the merging of interests behind the scenes had ended, foreign troops began to march towards Luoyang in batches.
The first group to arrive were the Jizhou soldiers led by Hao Chang, a total of more than 4,000 people, who entered the city through Jianchun Gate.
At that time, Shao Xun was receiving a batch of equipment and consumables. When he just returned to the military camp, he heard a not-so-funny joke: The Youzhou Cavalry Commander went out of the city and met the Jizhou soldiers who were entering the city. Hao Chang's 4,000 men directly stayed where they were.
Collapse...
Shao Xun was stunned after hearing this.
The commander of the Ye army, Qian Xiu, heard this and was extremely ashamed. He directly ordered the troops to station near the city gate and not to cause trouble.
Obviously, this order will make Jizhou soldiers complain, but it will be a good thing for the people of Luoyang.
Compared with the Ye soldiers, the Western soldiers led by Zhang Fang had less scruples. They swarmed into the city from Ximing Gate and looted wantonly. The cries could be heard far and near.
Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, became more and more nervous. He sent people to ask the emperor for an edict, ordering the Western troops to stop looting and withdraw from Luoyang. At the same time, he summoned the generals of the imperial army to discuss countermeasures.
After many discussions, the final result was to stand still and block all major intersections to prevent the frantic Western soldiers from attacking the core area of ​​Luoyang and the palace city. As for other places, just wish yourself well. Sima Yue had no choice, because the imperial army
I didn't really listen to him.
The imperial army is difficult to control, but the soldiers of the East China Sea Kingdom still obey the command.
On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, the four main generals Mi Huang, He Lun, Wang Bing, and Shao Xun were called to Sikong Mansion.
Wang Dao, Dai Yuan, Liu Qia and other staff were all present, as well as the imperial army general Gou Xi, the Huangmen minister Pan Tao, the official minister Yu Zhi and other court officials.
"Hao Chang's incident became a laughing stock in the army. Many people said that the foreign soldiers were mediocre and regretted it a little." Liu Qia spoke eloquently without squinting his eyes.
Shao Xun quietly looked at the shogunate Zuo Sima.
Liu Qia failed to compete for the title of Lieutenant of Donghai, so he must be very upset. In fact, Sima Yue should still trust Liu Qia, otherwise based on his family background, Liu Qia would not be able to enter the officialdom at all if he did not use his right to vote.
"This is not a good thing." Wang Dao frowned and said: "The soldiers of the Forbidden Army saw that the foreign soldiers were so vulnerable, and then thought about the repeated victories in the previous battles, they may have regrets. Who is guarding Sima Yi now?
?”
"People from the Seventh Army of Suwei."
"No, it's best to replace it with one of our people." After saying this, Director Wang's eyes paused on Mi Huang and said: "General Mi may lead his troops to take over Jinyong City. If there is any disharmony, immediately
Kill Sima Yi, and the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army will think about it."
Everyone was talking about it for a while.
If the Forbidden Army repented, it was indeed possible to rush into Jinyong City and release Sima Yi. But in this case, where would Sikong be left? Where would the Forbidden Army generals who had already jumped ship be released?
Sima Yue immediately became nervous.
If Sima Yi regained the support of the Forbidden Army, he would be dead. His breath was a little unstable for a while, and he felt uncomfortable sitting there.
"Don't worry, Sikong." As one of the only three outsiders present, Pan Tao, the servant of Huangmen, gently stroked his beard. Yun Danfeng smiled softly and said: "Killing Sima Yi, why do you need to dirty Sikong's hands? I
Looking at Zhang Fang, he is cruel and murderous, and he hates Sima Yi deeply. If you hand anyone over to him, you will definitely die a tragic death."
Sima Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "Shilang Pan's words are reasonable. Why don't we send someone to Jinyong City to deliver the order to send Sima Yi to Zhang Fang's camp?"
"No." Pan Tao shook his head and said, "Zhang Fang must take the initiative to snatch the person away, so as not to damage Sikong's reputation."
"Yang Zhong is still thoughtful." The smile on Sima Yue's face became wider and wider. He called a servant and after whispering, the servant left in a hurry, apparently to go to summons.
"A man like Zhang Fang, who leads beasts and cannibals, can actually..." Sima Yue shook his head and sighed, not wanting to talk more, as if mentioning Zhang Fang one more time would dirty his mouth.
Shao Xun, who was sitting behind Mi Huang, couldn't help but glance at Pan Tao one more time.
This old man with an unattractive appearance is really ruthless. He used the tactic of borrowing a knife to kill people casually without changing his expression, and he thought everything about it.
Could it be that he is a poisonous person like Jia Xu? Perhaps he will join the Sikong Shogunate soon. After all, being a court official is meaningless - there is no such thing as a staff or official, who is superior and who is inferior. Some people are not even qualified to be governors.
You have to camp in the shogunate of the clan king.
"After talking about Sima Yi, let's talk about the situation in Luoyang." Sima Yue put his hand on his forehead and said in a helpless tone: "The Ye soldiers are pretty good, they only loot outside the city, but the Western soldiers want to enter the city and plunder the officials and people in the inner city.
, not only rob money, but also kill people, we cannot let them go on like this."
What is the result of letting it go? Sima Yue's prestige will be suppressed.
He is currently trying to find ways to accept Sima Yi's legacy. There must not be too much "negative news". Reputation is still very important. After all, the world is getting worse and worse. The central authority is gradually losing its authority, and local power is being gradually lost to the powerful families.
Robbery still requires their support.
Yes, the officials of the aristocratic families in Luoyang seem to be weak and can be bound and killed by a single soldier, but they are just the representatives of the big families in various counties in the capital. Their roots are in the place, with manors one after another, and the land is crisscrossed with roads and tribes.
There are thousands of private soldiers, this is their real capital.
If we re-investigate the population and the number of acres of land now, we don’t know how many farmers are left. Even collecting taxes, you have to rely on others, and most of what they show you is still a "false account", just for fun.
Sima Yue knew very well whose support he wanted to win.
"It's better to promote Zhang Fang to an official position, and then leave naturally after grabbing enough." Dai Yuan suggested.
Director Wang remained calm and nodded slightly.
He actually hates Zhang Fang, who doesn't follow any rules. He kills and robs at every turn, uses human flesh as military rations, and defile the women of officials and ministers. But there is really no way now. Zhang Fang has an army of 50,000, and the generals of the Imperial Army are difficult to control.
, then the only option is to "coax".
"It's better to make it clear to Zhang Fang. If he is willing to quit Luoyang, he can be promoted to General Right and Grand Administrator Feng Yi." Liu Qia suggested.
"Yes." Sima Yue nodded and added: "Let him kill Sima Yi first, then withdraw from Luoyang City, and then he can be promoted."
No one had any opinion.
Shao Xun was eye-opening.
It turns out that with 50,000 soldiers, the court can hold your nose and coax you.
I only have five hundred soldiers, but the court refuses to coax me.
It's so realistic.
"Sikong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve what you want just by relying on this." Gou Xi suddenly said: "I am willing to lead my troops to the west and form an array on the imperial street. When Zhang Fang sees it, or if he can see it, he will retreat and retreat to the city.
outside."
Sima Yue was overjoyed.
Gou Xi is the first general of the Forbidden Army to come over, which is of great significance. How can he not be happy that he will take the initiative to take responsibility and share the Lord's worries? Sima Yue has made a decision in his heart, and will fight with Sima Ying and Sima Yong in the future.
No matter what, we must find a high position for Gou Xi.
He is good at using troops and can win battles. He has been in officialdom for more than thirty years and has sufficient qualifications. He is definitely the most suitable sign.
Let Gou Xi's situation serve as a warning to the generals of the imperial army that if you follow me, you will be promoted. There is no benefit in fighting me.
"That's very good." Sima Yue stood up and said repeatedly: "That's it. Zhang Fang's matter must be handled as soon as possible without delay."
"No." Gou Xi responded.
Shao Xun was slightly envious.
The Luoyang Central Army originated from Cao Wei. At that time, it had five schools, Zhongba, Wuwei and other battalions.
During the Western Jin Dynasty, it became the left and right guards, the front, rear, left and right armies, and the heroic cavalry army, which was the so-called Seventh Camp of Suwei.
In addition, the Sima clan made its fortune by relying on the military power outside the city, so the Western Jin Dynasty established the Yamen Army and stationed it in the suburbs of Luoyang. The two together formed the Luoyang Central Army.
In the Cao and Wei Dynasties, the chief officer of the Forbidden Army was called "leading army". In the Jin Dynasty, it was first called leading army, and later it was changed to "leading army", and then it was changed to "leading army", and then it was changed to "leading army", "zhong leading army", and now it is also called "leading army".
During the Cao Wei Dynasty, the position of Suwei officer gradually became an honorary position. For example, after Pei Chuo's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Captain of Changshui.
What can Gou Xi be? The Northern Army's middle commander? Can Sima Yue support him to this position?
If it comes true, this is being used as a sign, what a good life.
But Shao Xun is not particularly envious.
If the imperial court can make Gou Xi the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, then he can be captured. After all, he is not his own army, so you have to do it if you don't want to.
To a certain extent, Gou Xi is even worse than a rich man who brought his own troops to join the army. Isn't it wonderful that he brought five hundred slaves to serve as soldiers, appointed himself as the master of the building, and had only his own people under him to do whatever they wanted?
"The Forbidden Army also needs to send someone to negotiate." Sima Yue added: "Even if you don't want to move to drive Zhang Fang away, then you are optimistic that Ye Bing can do it? Ruosi, you go and do it."
"No." Dai Yuan stood up and responded.
"Zi Hui." Sima Yue looked at Mi Huang again and said, "Train your troops more quickly. At the critical moment, your own people are still reliable."
"No." Mi Huang responded.
He was a little panicked and subconsciously glanced at Shao Xun.
Yesterday, Xiao Langjun told him the truth. Let's not talk about the superior army. The lower army will not be able to fight in the field for a year and a half.
Mi Huang felt a big headache after hearing this.
The lower army has recruited more than 200 people. Among the original 700 people, at least 200 came from behind, not to mention a bunch of teenagers. It is normal to spend a year to reorganize. If you don't want to
If they collapse at the first touch.
As for the upper army, 900 Donghai soldiers are just okay, but more than a thousand people from Luoyang City are a joke.
Mi Huang almost wanted to be cruel, break up with He Lun, eliminate all the bad guys, recruit young men again, and defeat the army.
Otherwise, if Sikong wants to mobilize troops this year, will the three thousand of them go or not?
Above, it's just adding to the confusion.
It doesn’t make sense, and it doesn’t make sense.
It's difficult to handle anyway.
Mi Huang's eyes quietly fell on He Lun, flickering uncertainly.
