sweeping the world

Chapter 256

"The second option is to stay by my side in a mediocre way until one day I figure it out."

"Liu Shijun is going to put Wen under house arrest?" Huan Wen was in shock when he heard that the Sima royal family cut off the incense in Yanhuang Temple, but he kept smiling wryly when he heard the following sentence: "Aren't you afraid that people in the world will laugh at you?"

"People in the world ridicule?" Sang Yu said disdainfully: "Xiao~chao~ting abandoned the Central Plains and fled south in a hurry, why don't you think that people in the world will laugh at you?" He looked at Huan Wen and asked very seriously: "Little court The Northern Expedition is called several times a year, and every time they hold each other back, the repeated Northern Expeditions are all jokes. My family is recovering the Central Plains and restoring the dignity of the Han family. Comparing the two, who should be ridiculed the most?"

Huan Wen was speechless. The Central Plains were indeed abandoned to the barbarians by those who currently ruled south of the Yangtze River. The Northern Expeditions were really a joke.

Restoring the Central Plains and restoring the dignity of the Han family?In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is said that the restoration of the Central Plains restores the dignity of the Jin Dynasty.However, as long as anyone thinks about it for a while, when did the Jin family have dignity, there are only civil strife, and only the aristocratic family keeps dog-eating dogs.

From the moment Sima usurped the throne, the Jin family never did anything to boost the morale of the country and the nation. What happened was just one humiliation after another. seized.Such a dynasty has only blemishes, not even a shred of praiseworthy shining points.

"As the first person who abandoned the country and fled in embarrassment under the attack of foreign races. After fleeing, he didn't think about revenge and only cared about internal friction. You bastards are destined to be recorded in history." Incomparably powerful: "Under the rule of the small court, is it the third-ranked clan? The Huan family will also be engraved on the pillar of shame in history."

If you don’t count the shameless “My Great Qing” who wrote history directly, the records of Chinese history up to the era of the Great~Tian~Dynasty are definitely the most nonsensical historical records of the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, and that is a fact that almost all historians admit So much so that there is almost nothing in the "Book of Jin" that can be believed.

Later generations want to know the Eastern and Western Jins. On the one hand, they can check the "Book of Jin", and on the other hand, they can only learn from the neighboring Bangzi Kingdom or Wa Kingdom.

One thing cannot be denied, and that is what happened after the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty. "Book of Jin" writes about the journey of people to the south, bringing civilization to the south of the Yangtze River; "The Chronicle of Goguryeo (also known as the Book of Goguryeo)" writes about the Jin people's rush to the south. Most of the people who fled and lived in the south were despised by the nobles; some biographies of the Japanese country used similar words to those of Goguryeo, but introduced more of the reality of the Sima royal family's decline in power.

The records of several neighboring countries on the Eastern Jin Dynasty also have one thing in common, that is, they focus on writing the four big clans of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because the four big clans represent the politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Sima royal family is more like a "seal family". There is a problem that cannot be avoided. The good and bad of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are caused by the four great powers.

Huan Wen was angry and angry, and wanted to say something several times, but his lips kept trembling and he didn't say it.

Facts speak louder than words. It is really impossible to avoid the fact that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was nestled in the south of the Yangtze River and relied on natural dangers to protect itself. action.

"Your Majesty, the other three sides have already invaded the city." Sang Yu was just watching the battle situation information, and said: "The enemy army has set up multiple defense lines in the city, and the troops that attacked broke through three lines, and the fourth line of the enemy army There was a stalemate on the defensive line."

Although Kaiyang City is in a semi-abandoned state, its area is really not small.There are about 7 Shijie Zhao Jun hoarded inside, but it is not clear how many residents there were before?The number of Han troops entering the city has exceeded [-], which means that at least [-] people have been squeezed out of the city.

For a city whose defenders' will has not collapsed, it is wishful thinking to capture it in a short time. From the moment the Han army poured in and the Shijie Zhao army still resisted, a long-term street battle was actually doomed.

"You can set fire..." Liu Yan stopped mid-sentence, changed his mind, and said, "Look for weak points and focus on breakthroughs."

Sang Yu replied "No!" and continued to check the battle report.

Setting fire to success requires a prerequisite, or the city’s incomparable prosperity leads to houses being connected one by one (most of the houses are made of wood and hay these days), so that burning one will lead to the next one, resulting in The other is to pile up enough dry firewood and kerosene, and arrange the dry wood and kerosene scientifically.

Kaiyang City is a semi-abandoned city. There are no continuous houses, but only ruins. The enemy has set up a defense line early. It is impossible to watch the Han army playing with things that can be set on fire. Then It can only be a real attack and advance.

As far as the Han army is concerned, Kaiyang City may be taken quickly, but it depends on whether it is necessary.

If you want to attack quickly, you will inevitably suffer more heavy casualties. This is not a big problem for Liu Yan. He can send system troops to make up for as much as he consumes.And he also intends to do that, and is already doing it, but unfortunately there are only about [-] infantry places on hand, and the other places are occupied by other types of system creatures.

"The Imperial Guards have already entered the fourth line of defense and are marching towards the fifth line of defense." Sang Yu said the Imperial Guards were the system troops. He frowned and said, "There is still a large area within the fifth line of defense." In the area, how many lines of defense did the enemy set up?"

Liu Yanyou specially observed the map in his mind. The Kaiyang defenders seem to have set up a defense line every 300 meters?
There is a line of defense at about 300 meters. The line of defense set up by the Hu people is actually relatively simple. If the army of Chinese civilization is to set up the line of defense, it will definitely not There are only a few obstacles, and the minimum ditches, pothole traps, indoor traps, etc. are definitely densely covered.

Almost all the time, there are personnel going back and forth between the Chinese military tent and the front line of the war. This is necessary information communication. The front line reports the progress of the battle, and the command center makes the latest response according to actual needs.

Huan Wen was still full of anger in front of him, no... it should be said that he was aggrieved. He really didn't think that he was like most of the children from the aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River. A person who really wants to do something, but he has no way to refute Liu Yan's words.

Later, Huan Wen was thinking about how to refute, but he was gradually attracted by the Han command system.

Every army will have a command center, and the Jin army is of course no exception.Huan Wen had the experience of commanding troops alone, but that was only commanding troops instead of commanding troops in battle.He has the experience of following other generals in marching as an auxiliary officer, but he has to tell the truth that the command of the Jin army cannot monitor the battlefield anytime and anywhere.

"How did they transmit the information so quickly?" Huan Wen couldn't help it, so he asked Yuan Qiao, and found that Yuan Qiao was also paying attention to the operation of the Han army's command system: "Uncle Yan, keep everything you see firmly in mind. "

The method by which the Han army can transmit information quickly is relatively clear. It relies on semaphores, not people running to return letters.It is also fortunate that Liu Yan went to a military academy first, and then served in the main military area. If ordinary people or ordinary people in military service were not allowed to do it, it would be absolutely impossible to come up with a set of semaphores capable of instant messaging.

"Yuanzi, things are a little strange." Yuan Qiao didn't lower his voice: "Why are those people running around? How could they come and go to the battlefield in such a short time?"

Huan Wen was taken aback when he heard this, he really didn't notice this before, and was reminded to pay attention to it for a while: "It really is those people running back and forth."

Liu Yan looked as if he was in a daze, but the real situation was that he was "summoning" the system troops and commanding the front line system troops, listening to Huan Wenwen and Yuan Qiao's words.He asked the warriors guarding him to move, and after averting his sight, he looked at Huan Wen who had already fixed his eyes on him, and said, "Don't the Jin army have semaphore?"

Not only the Jin army has semaphore, in fact, semaphore has already existed as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, but it seems extremely simple, such as what does shaking a few times mean, and what does waving forward, backward, left, and right mean? Semaphores can be used for communication.

"So that's how it is..." Yuan Qiao realized earlier than Huan Wen: "Communication with semaphore!", and understood what was going on. If those eyes had luminosity, they would definitely be brighter than a light bulb.

On the other side, Sang Yu was already discussing with some of his staff how to deal with the Xuzhou army that came from Huaiyin. Some words could be heard that they wanted to use large-scale cavalry and find a flat battlefield for a battle.

"Liu Shijun really wants to force Wen to stay?" Huan Wen really didn't believe that Liu Yan would do this. He was the head of the third powerful force south of the Yangtze River.

But Liu Yan nodded: "Yes." After thinking for a while, he said in an extremely slow tone: "Not only you, but also him." Liu Yan nodded at Yuan Qiao with his chin.

In Liu Yan's view, the third clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is nothing but a fart. Wouldn't it be fun for them to cross the Yangtze River to make fun of it?He believed that Huan Wen absolutely needed to stay. It would be a pity to waste an elite figure of an era in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.It doesn't matter what method he uses to stay. Huan Wen may be angry or indignant now, but Liu Yan always believes that Huan Wen will thank him one day. ~Chao~Ting's muddy pit can obviously shine with a thousand feet of light, but it is full of light of rice grains for a lifetime.

Of course, Liu Yan can’t be overwhelmed. He should give some reasons and hope while being tough, so he said: “Keep you for three years. During the three years, Yuanzi can watch how the Han army marches and fights. Look around. After three years, even if I drive you away, you will cry and beg to stay."

Huan Wen's response was a cold snort, thinking that even if he was killed, he would not ask to stay.
