Chapter 33 Tiger Vision (7)

After the imperial edict was issued, it was still conveyed through the post office system that still existed in the Jin Dynasty. At this time of chaos, most of the postmen were naturally scattered, and the postmen were still half deserted. Therefore, in the past few years, there were often edicts sent to remote areas to arrive for many years. Fortunately, some of the remaining postmen were still loyal this time. They tried their best to urge horses to quickly send this edict that concerns the life and death of the Jin Dynasty to all directions.

The first person to receive the edict were the local powerful factions within Sizhou.

In Xingyang, east of Hulao Pass, people were noisy this day, and the city was filled with dust. A large-scale refugee team was leaving the west gate of Xingyang City, and was about to pass through the Honggu to Huai Si. This team had about four or five thousand people, most of which were old, weak, women and children. Due to the narrow road and lack of maintenance, the vehicles that women and children were riding in would often fall into the trajectory of ruts on the road, so they had to move slowly. Two thousand men in coarse cloth and short clothes either held a guard or worked together to push the cart, and they were also dispersed into long queues. The army was about to reach Honggu, and the team was still in the military camp in Xingyang City.

In terms of clothing and equipment, this is clearly an ordinary team of refugees, but it is not as loose as the usual team of refugees. No matter how dispersed their troops are, they are constantly connected with each other by drums and corners. The coordination and cooperation between the various departments is very close. There are dozens of central light cavalry exchange plans to impose the orders, and even the officials and soldiers who have been on the battlefield are inferior to those who have been on the battlefield.

In the middle of the team, a thin and tall man was frowning at a book and silk in his hand. Although his eyes were not particularly bright, he occasionally exuded the sharpness that had been sharpened by more than ten years of military career. This person was the leader of this team, Li Ju, the leader of Pingyang Liuren stationed in Xingyang.

Li Ju was named Shihui, a native of Pingyang. He was brave and resolute since childhood. Whenever he had sex with children, he would be the general and lead the general to command and mobilize children to fight, as if he had been through a long battle. After becoming an adult, he first became a county official, and later he was the commander of the general Sima Tong, the commander of Yamen under the command of the general Sima Tong of the West. He was given a special merit when he attacked the Di thief Qi for thousands of years. He was granted the title of Marquis of Dongmingting and was sent back to the governor of the county. Later, he resigned because of his disagreement with the prefect. This time, the Huns' army invaded and the people ran away. Because Li Ju had a prestige among the villagers, he was promoted to the master of the dock and went south to Xingyang to station.

When the 200,000 Xiongnu army was approaching Luoyang, the Central Plains became a place where millions of people were buried at any time, and the situation was extremely dangerous. In order to consider the lives of the clans and people, Li Ju had to lead his people away from his hometown and continue to move south. He even prepared to cross the Huai River and the river in order to find a place where he could make a living. However, Li Ju was a person who was determined to make contributions in his bones. He had always praised his great cause and cleared his ambitions in the country. He fled like a dog who was a loser, which actually made him very depressed.

At this time, the flying cavalry's intention to pay tribute to the king immediately provided new hope to Li Ju.

He raised his eyebrows and handed the book and silk to his deputy Guo Song, who was standing beside him: "This edict is written generously. It seems that the court has decided to fight Hu'er to death."

Guo Song finished reading the edict with a glance, nodded slightly, and handed it to his clan brother Guo Fang beside him. Then there were Zhang Jing, Gou Yuan, Qian Tao, Jiang Ba, Liang Zhi, Sima Shang, Ji Hong and others. These people were all from the civil and military departments that Li Ju had joined over the years. They were both loyal and extraordinary talents.

The content of the edict was read by everyone, and everyone discussed it whispered for a while. Li Ju did not participate in it, and patiently waited for the discussion of the people to gradually lower his voice, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, Hu'er attacked each other, and his momentum was like a craze. I thought that according to the usual weakness and absurdity of the court, I was definitely not a match for the Hu people. However... if the court actually decided to fight the Hu barbarians to death, among the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, wouldn't there be a hero who could turn the tide?" He paused and said: "You have been with me for many years. Although my career has been wasted, they have always had the ambition to make contributions, and they are never old people. But I don't know what happened today, what do you think?"

Guo Song looked at the other colleagues and bowed and said, "I only wish to follow the dock owner."

Guo Fang, Zhang Jing, Gou Yuan, Qian Tao, Jiang Ba, Liang Zhi, Sima Shang and Ji Hong all bowed together: "I only wish to follow the dock owner!"

"Okay, then I won't go south for the time being. Immediately rectify my troops and prepare to fight Hu'er!" Li Ju looked around everyone, and everyone was completely disgusted with the depressed look he had before, and they were eager to try, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He drew his sword in his hand: "Famousness and wealth are from this!"

When Li Ju saw the edict, he rode a group of flying cavalry to the east, south, west, and north. After all, the Jin court was orthodox and a regime in the Central Plains. No matter what, it was more than eating raw meat and drinking blood. He only knew that killing and plundering the Huns and Han Kingdoms would win the hearts of the people. Therefore, the local shocks were caused by all the places where they passed. Refugee leaders such as Li Ju immediately gathered from all directions of Luoyang, greatly enhancing the power that Luoyang could control.

However, neither the county lord of Jingling nor Hu Liuniang expected that the prestige of the court had been terrible. Although the edict could inspire local tyrants, it could not impress Fang Zhen, who had many powerful troops. The county lord was afraid that this edict would cause the situation of the strong vassals in the world to move together, he did not expect that the reality and imagination were too different.

The General of the Southern Expedition and General Jingxiang and the Military Affairs of the Four Prefectures of Guangxi Shan Jian took office in a hurry after King Sima Lue of Gaomi passed away. He himself was addicted to alcohol and did not care about political affairs. After taking office, he restrained the Shunyang Inner Historian Liu Fan, who had been surrendered to Jianghan, which caused turmoil in the Jingxiang area. After receiving the edict, Shan Jian and the General of the Southern Central Army Du Rui were recruiting troops and heading north to the north. In fact, they did not move their own troops and soldiers. Instead, they forced the Yongzhou refugees gathered in northern Jingzhou to fight north. The Yongzhou refugees were not willing to return to the deserted north. Shan Jian repeatedly intimidated, but instead forced the Yongzhou refugees to gather people to rebel, kill Jingzhou's rulers and Changshang, and conquered the towns.

The general who was defending Chang'an and the commander of the military affairs of Qin Yong and Liang Yi. The King of Nanyang Sima Mo was an ally of King Donghai. Since he left Guanzhong, he had no literary Tao to appease the people, nor had the martial arts to eliminate the bandits. He simply melted the bronze bells and tripods in the Chang'an palace into pots, pans, and so on to exchange for food. The court criticized a lot of this. The King of Donghai reported to the court and suggested that Sima Mo be sent to the court to be Sikong and choose someone else to stay in Guanzhong. Sima Mo followed Chunyu Ding's suggestion and refused to go to the expedition, so he was dissatisfied with the King of Donghai. When the imperial edict arrived, the King of Nanyang was fighting fiercely with the governor of Qinzhou Pei Bao, and his troops were quite embarrassed. So he only used the partial general Liang Chen and the governor of the tent, Chen An led an army of 3,000 east to rescue Luoyang.

The two armies of the Huns and Han countries had 200,000 troops, how much does it cost to have 3,000 reinforcements in Chang'an? The envoy who carried the edict cursed secretly, but he was helpless about this. The envoy was worried about the situation in Luoyang and hated Sima Mo for ignoring the life and death of the court, so he left Chang'an and continued to go west, trying to contact the general of Zhenxi, governor of Longyou, and the governor of Liangzhou Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui of Liangzhou was powerful and powerful in the Di, Qiang, Xianbei and other tribes in Longshang, and was always loyal to the court. Unfortunately, he was old and had a stroke before the New Year and could no longer speak normally, let alone command the battle. Nowadays, most of the military and political affairs in Liangzhou were controlled by Song Pei, Yin Chong, Fan Yuan, Yin Dan and other local leaders of Liangzhou clans, and were not as enthusiastic towards the court as before. Guzang was thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, even if he could speak of the elite Liangzhou rescue, he was afraid that the water would not relieve the nearby fire!

Thinking of this, the messenger ran away with his horse and was anxious.
