Three Kingdoms Eschatology
Page 211
A team of more than 400 people suddenly emerged from the street. Without even lighting a torch, they hurried towards the palace on the dark dirt road, with only the rustling sound of their footsteps on the gravel.When they arrived at the gate of the palace, two guards holding torches seemed to have expected them to come, and hurriedly opened the gate for them.With a wave of the leader's hand, [-] of them quickly surrounded the entire palace, blocking all entrances and exits, and he led the remaining [-] people to rush into the palace in stride.The torch in the guard's hand illuminated the man's face. It was the dog Gu Zhibei.
Apparently most of the soldiers guarding the palace had turned to Gou Gu Zhibei Gou, and cooperated with his actions silently.The servants in the palace didn't know what happened, and most of them as slaves didn't dare to talk too much.
But a courtier who was born in an upper family stopped Gou Gu Zhibei Gou, and just about to ask him, Gou Gu Zhibei Gou pierced his chest with a sword, and fell into a pool of blood without saying a word.
The two attendants behind the minister didn't shout or scream, but fell to their knees and kept begging for mercy.
In their cognition, Gou Gu Zhibei Gou did not conspire to kill people, but killed people with power, so naturally they did not dare to shout.Gou Gu Zhibei Gou snorted coldly and said: "There is a change in the palace today, and the one who was killed just now is a traitor. Hurry up and send an order to let all the servants and servants in the palace stay in their respective bedrooms, and they are not allowed to move around at will. Not to mention Palace, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" The two hurriedly agreed and retreated.
Soon Gou Gu Zhibei Gou led people to the bedroom of Himi Kudo, and he ordered the soldiers to guard outside the gate, and he broke in with more than [-] confidants, and said as he walked, "After entering, see Everyone will be killed, and no one will be left alive." Soon there were bursts of screams and wailing in the palace.
Gou Guzhibei went all the way to Himi Gonghu's couch with a saber in his hand. The latter had already woken up and lit the oil lamp in a panic. Seeing that it was Gou Guzhibei who broke in, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked : "Big rate, what happened... ah" Before he finished speaking, the dog Gu Zhibei cut his neck open.Gou Guzhibei Gou wiped the blood on his sword with a piece of linen, and said while wiping: "Fun Lord, for the sake of your father and your grandfather's kindness to me for two generations, I will leave you with a dead body." .But even if I don't kill you, you are not worthy of being a fool, and you will die sooner or later in this world of great controversy."
At the same time, the streets and alleys of Kumamoto Castle outside the palace were suddenly brightly lit, and the soldiers of the Gonu Kingdom lit up piles of bonfires for lighting.Then they guarded the various intersections and shuttled through the streets and alleys.The doors of some houses were slammed by them, and if they opened a step late, they kicked the door panel open with their feet and broke into the hut.
Soon a large number of people were pulled out from the house, most of them were the ministers and generals of the Gonu Kingdom and their relatives.And most of them are people who have a lot of words about dog slaves and low self-esteem dogs on weekdays, and they are alienated.In short, as long as the dog slave feels inferior and feels that he is not his own person and is somewhat threatening to him, he will be arrested.The charge is that they colluded with each other and conspired against each other, and had already killed Himiko.
When dawn came, the widest dirt road in Kumamoto was full of kneeling people, men, women, young and old, all of them were the rebels and their relatives.At the same time, an astonishing news spread in the city. Last night, a group of rebels from the imperial court tried to plot a rebellion and successfully assassinated the monarch Himi. Captured all rebels involved in the rebellion.
Chapter 796
Fifty miles northeast of Kumamoto Castle, an iron cavalry was rushing towards Kumamoto Castle non-stop.This is the tiger and leopard cavalry sent by Sima Yi to support Gou Gu Zhibei Gou, but the one who leads this army is not Sima Yi's cronies, but the one-eyed Xiahou Dun.
The iron hoofs of the tigers and leopards raised dust soaring into the sky on the dry dirt road, which could be seen from several miles away.Along the way, they encountered almost no obstacles.Because the defenders of the Gonu Kingdom everywhere have received orders from Gogu Zhibeigou, instructing them not to stop the Wei army when they encounter it, because they are here to help the Gonu Kingdom suppress the rebellion.
At present, the court of the Gonu Kingdom, which is completely controlled by Gou Gu Zhibei Gou, publicly said this. Himi Yumiko originally decided to accept Gou Gu Zhibei Gou's decision, but unexpectedly, several generals from the main combat faction Knowing that, they launched a rebellion and assassinated Himi Kudo.In addition to them, many officials and generals of the Gonu Kingdom participated in the rebellion, and even several adult children of Himi Yumiko also participated in it.Xindegou Guzhibeigou counterattacked in time and supported a three-year-old son of Himi Gonghu as king, but they did not succeed.However, some local officials and generals who lead troops alone outside the capital also participated in this conspiracy. They are still ready to move, so Gou Gu Zhibei Gou invited Wei Jun to help eradicate these rebels.
When Xiahoudun's three thousand cavalry appeared at the gate of Kumamoto City, Gougu Zhibeigou had already been waiting there.He bowed to Xiahou Dun three times respectfully and with Chinese etiquette.Xiahou Dun also jumped off the horse, and politely returned his courtesy, but Xiahou Dun's one eye was still full of disdain.Xiahou Dun looked down on this traitor from the bottom of his heart. Originally, he didn't want to do this errand, but he didn't know why Sima Yi chose him.We must know that on weekdays, for important matters, Sima Yi can use his confidantes to use his confidantes.
It's just that Xiahoudun's one-eyed glanced at the top of the city, and he couldn't help taking a breath.It turned out that the top of the city was covered with human heads, and it was so dark that it was truly terrifying.Gougu Zhibeigou saw it, and immediately explained: "General Xiahou, these are the heads of the rebels and their families. They are hung here to warn the people of Gonu Kingdom."
Then Gouguzhibeigou said again: "General Xiahou, you didn't encounter any obstacles on the way to Kumamoto this time."
Xiahou Dun replied in a low voice: "Basically not, but there are one or two groups who don't know what is good or bad. When they came to attack a certain brigade with hundreds of soldiers, they were easily defeated by a certain cavalry, and all the soldiers were beheaded! "
After hearing this, Gou Gu Zhibei laughed and said, "Good job! These are all rebels. Unexpectedly, General Xiahou killed one or two rebels for our Gou Nu Kingdom before he arrived in Kumamoto. But at present, Kyushu There are still a few rebels in the south that have not been wiped out, and General Xiahou needs to pay more attention."
He paused for a moment, then changed the topic and said: "Today General Xiahou arrived in the country for the first time, and he is still tired on the saddle horse. I will talk about this later. I have already prepared a banquet to welcome General Xiahou."
Soon, Xiahoudun and Gougu Zhibeigou appeared on the palace hall of Kumamoto City, where the officials of Gonu Kingdom had long been waiting.Of course, most of these people are the confidantes of Gou Gu Zhibai Gou, even if a few of them are not, they are all submissive and follow the crowd.The reason why the banquet was held in the palace hall was because Gougu Zhibeigou hosted Xiahou Dun in the name of the representative of the three-year-old new king.
After the banquet began, Gou Gu Zhibei Gou and the others toasted Xiahou Dun frequently, flattering and fawning.This made Xia Houdun look down on Gou Gu Zhi Bei Gou from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't say much from the beginning to the end.But in this way, Xia Houdun was completely relieved of Gou Gu Zhi Bei Gou.
In the next few days, under the leadership of the generals of the Gou Nu Kingdom, Xiahou Dun divided his troops and attacked several cities and forts within a hundred miles of Kumamoto. The forces were wiped out one by one.Every time he returns in triumph, Gou Gu Zhi Bei Gou always treats Xiahou Dun and his generals with banquets as usual.
On this day, when the banquet was about to end, soldiers from the Gou Nu Kingdom came up in a hurry and reported to Gou Gu Zhibei Gou: "Reporting to the high rate, according to the detailed information from the front. The doctor of Satsuma City, Himichafu, rebelled openly. He sent letters to many cities, calling on the city lords to join forces to attack Dashu, um, no, they want to join forces to attack Kumamoto and rebel against the king!"
When the interpreter next to Xiahoudun translated these words to him, Xiahoudun asked with slightly drunken eyes: "Who is this Himechafu?"
Gougu Zhibeigou said with a smile on his face: "If you go back to the general of Shangguo, this person is the younger brother of the former king of the country. According to the investigation of the subordinates, this person was also involved in the conspiracy to assassinate the former king of the country, and It is also very likely that he is the mastermind, and he did this for himself to ascend the throne. The subordinates had long wanted to lead troops to attack him, but this person had a lot of troops in his hands, and the city of Satsuma was in a basin surrounded by mountains, so it was not easy Conquer, so I didn't dare to act rashly. To tell the truth, General Xiahou, this person is the last rebel. No one will listen to his call, and those who will respond to him will be wiped out by the general."
Xiahou Dun laughed loudly and said, "The last one? What's the difficulty? Tomorrow, someone will lead troops to destroy him, and after completing this mission, go back and report to the Holy Majesty and the Great General!"
But Gou Gu Zhi Bei Gou said: "But this person's Satsuma City is in a basin that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although there are seven or eight roads to enter the basin, each road is a rugged and difficult mountain road. Xiahou It may not be easy for the general's iron cavalry to pass through such a mountain path."
"How many troops does he have?"
"Not many, just over a thousand infantry, but the road is really not easy for cavalry..."
Xiahou Dun put down the wine bowl, interrupted Gou Gu Zhibei Gou's words, and said indifferently: "It's okay, you send me three thousand elite infantry. If the mountain road is really difficult to move forward, so and so will let so and so's cavalry block it." All the exits in and out of the road, and then taking your three thousand Japanese soldiers is enough to put them down."
Overjoyed on Gou Gu Zhibei Gou's face, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and said to Xiahou Dun: "In this way, I will first wish the general of the Shang Kingdom every success and victory."
The sun rose on the second day, Xiahoudun finished his breakfast and went out of his Chinese army tent to see that the open space of the barracks was already full of black Japanese soldiers.It turned out that Gou Gu Zhibei Gou had already prepared [-] elite infantry and several of his confidant generals for him.
Xiahou Dun took his iron cavalry and the 3000 men and horses and drove towards Kumamoto City in the west.When the sun slanted to the west, their soldiers and horses came to a high mountain.
Chapter 797 Condition One
Xiahou Dun looked at the mountain in front of him, and said to the soldiers in a deep voice: "Send cavalry scouts along every mountain road that can enter the mountain, and see if the road is really impassable for the cavalry brigade."
Immediately, more than [-] Xiahou Dun scouts and several Gonuguo Waqi as guides galloped out, divided into several groups and rushed in several different directions.
Xiahoudun waited for almost two hours, and the scouts reported back one after another.Their rhetoric is similar, on the rugged and difficult mountain road, let alone a large group of cavalry, even a small group of scouts like them must get off the ground and lead their horses carefully.There was even a scout who accidentally fell off the cliff and died on the spot when passing the cliff path.
Xiahoudun thought to himself: "It seems that this road is indeed impassable for cavalry." So he ordered his cavalry to be divided into several groups, and patrolled at the exits of the basin. Soldiers, shoot to kill.
Then he took his personal guards, dozens of interpreters, and three thousand elite Japanese soldiers and plunged into the forest.After Xiahoudun entered the mountain road, he had a taste of how rough and difficult the road was.In fact, this so-called road is the path that people will be able to walk through using both hands and feet.Xiahou Dun himself had to dismount and walk on foot, and his horse became a burden at this time.
Seeing that the mountain road was difficult, Xiahou Dun became alert.The main reason is that he is afraid that Himichai's army will set up an ambush for him.He didn't know the Japanese soldiers given by these Gou Gu Zhi Bei Gou, nor did he know how powerful they were, and whether they were good at fighting in mountains.
The more Xiahou Dun thought about it, the more worried he became, and hastily mobilized hundreds of capable Japanese soldiers to open the way ahead for investigation.After each section of the path has been investigated, it is time to move forward.In this way, his army snaked its way through the mountains like snails.
Xiahou Dun looked up at the sky, and the sun was almost setting on the ridgeline.Immediately, he became anxious, and asked the guide how long it would take to get out of the mountain and enter the Satsuma Basin.The answer was that there was still less than ten miles to go.Xiahou Dun thought to himself, why are you so cautious if you haven't encountered an ambush for such a long journey.Seize the time is the most important thing.
So he ordered the whole army to advance at full speed, instead of advancing a section after the investigation as before.Immediately, the snake-like army suddenly accelerated.
Xiahou Dun had just walked for a quarter of an hour, when there were killing sounds on the hillsides on both sides, and countless Japanese banners emerged from the vegetation.Xiahou Dun was startled and shouted loudly to the Japanese general: "Let your soldiers organize defense!"
The other party drew out his saber and yelled at the Japanese soldiers behind him.Xiahoudun thought that he wanted to obey his military orders, but these Japanese soldiers brandished their weapons and came to kill Xiahoudun and Xiahoudun's personal soldiers.
Xiahou Dun's soldiers were engrossed in the enemy soldiers shouting in the mountains and forests, how could they have expected such a sudden change and were caught off guard.Most of his hundred and ten soldiers were immediately beheaded by the Japanese soldiers.After more than ten breaths, Xiahoudun finally came to his senses. He yelled, "It's not good, some Japanese soldiers have joined forces with outsiders. Hurry up and defend against the enemy, wait for the rear army, and the front army will come forward and come for reinforcements!"
Xiahou Dun said this because he and his personal guards lived in the central army.At this point, he thought that some of the Japanese soldiers in the Chinese army had colluded with Himicatsu and turned against him. As long as he persisted for a while, when the rear army and the front army gathered in the middle, these rebels could be wiped out, and the ambush soldiers could also be driven back. .
His personal soldiers fought bravely, but although these Japanese soldiers were not as equipped as them, their combat power was not as good as them.But relying on the absolute superiority of troops, wave after wave came forward.
A soldier brandished the boshou knife in his hand, chopping and stabbing, beheading three Japanese soldiers in a row. When he was about to pull out the boshou knife that had been pierced into the neck of a Japanese soldier, a spear pierced him. thigh.He knelt down on one knee in pain, struck the ground with a knife, and another short dagger from a Japanese soldier slashed into his eye socket.
There was also a personal guard of Xiahoudun, who was pierced through the belly by a spear after killing several enemy soldiers in a row. He rushed forward along the barrel of the gun reluctantly, came to the Japanese soldier who had no time to react, and stabbed the opponent with a knife neck.
Xiahou Dun himself also beheaded nearly ten enemy soldiers, but these Japanese soldiers seemed to be endless, and they could not be killed no matter how hard they tried.On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer personal guards around him.He glanced around for a while, and there were dark figures of shaking Japanese soldiers, screaming in their mouths, and he didn't know what they said.
He found that the reinforcements he was expecting did not come, but the Japanese soldiers who came from the front and rear raised their swords and killed him, and he also found that the ambushes who rushed out of the mountain forest were wearing uniforms and the uniforms they brought. The Japanese soldiers who came were no different.He suddenly understood that this was not a rebellion within the Japanese soldiers at all, but a trap aimed at himself.
After understanding, Xiahou Dun's eyes immediately revealed a look of despair.He danced the lance in his hand into a ball, making it impossible for people to get close.However, his personal guards were not as good as him, and one after another fell in a pool of blood, and soon Xiahoudun was left bare.
The Japanese soldiers surrounded him, but they didn't dare to step forward because they were afraid of his bravery.A Japanese general in the lead waved his hand, and hundreds of Japanese crossbowmen opened their bows and shot arrows at Xiahou Dun.No matter how good Xiahou Dun's martial arts were, it was impossible for him to dodge or block such dense arrows.The random arrows immediately shot him into a hedgehog, but he still stood on the spot motionless like a scarecrow.Under the urging of the general, several Japanese soldiers stabbed tentatively with their spears, and Xiahou Dun's body fell to the ground with a crash.
The leading Japanese general came forward and said to his own pawns: "This man is really a hero." Then he said to Xiahou Dun's body on the ground: "Don't blame us if you are in the underworld. Japanese people, this is what your own people want to kill you, but you just borrowed our hands, this is also one of the conditions that our dog slave country promised to Wei."
It turned out that it was true that Himichio wanted to crusade against Gouko Zhibei, but the so-called Satsuma City was pacified by Gouko Zhibei a few days ago, and Himichai was defeated and killed a long time ago.All of this was a strategy to kill Xiahou Dun.
In Xinye City, Xuhui Town, northern Kyushu, when Sima Yi heard the news of Xiahou Dun's death, he burst out laughing, and said to several members of the Sima family and his closest confidantes who were in the same room with him: "Xiahou Dun is already here. The Gonu Kingdom died in the battle, and it is time for us to get rid of the burden of Cao Pi."
Chapter 798 Repeated Script
When the sun rose, the big bell in front of the Xinye City Imperial Palace began to clang again.The officials waiting in front of the gate filed in, and they were taken aback as soon as they entered the hall.Because the emperor Cao Pi was already sitting on the dragon couch, in the past, Cao Pi came out of the apse only after the ministers had lined up in two shifts.The ministers then noticed that Cao Pi's eye circles were black, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.
Why do you say again, because since the news of Xiahou Dun's death came, Cao Pi had faintly sensed that it was not good, and then more and more signs made him feel dangerous.So during this period of time, he had trouble falling asleep one after another.Last night he heard that Sima Yi stayed up all night after mobilizing troops and generals on a large scale, and came to this hall early this morning with dark circles under his eyes.
It's no wonder he's so panic-stricken.Since leaving the Central Plains, the entire imperial court has been divided into two factions centered on him and Sima Yi.The core of his group is mainly composed of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, while Sima Yi's side is composed of the Sima family and the disciples of the Sima family.The rest of the ministers stand in their own teams, without exception.Even those who do not stand in line are still regarded as belonging to the "imperial party" to which Cao Pi belongs. The reason is very simple. If you do not form a party, the only object of allegiance is the imperial court, and Cao Pi is the representative of the legal owner of the imperial court.
Although the imperial party is much less powerful than Sima Yi, there are Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun who are the two leading the way.There is a group of Xiahou, Cao's middle and low-level generals who are placed in the court and every corner of the army, making Cao Pi believe that Sima Yi dare not act rashly.
However, from one moment to another, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun were killed one after another.Cao Pi and his court were immediately in danger of being completely controlled by Sima Yi.It's just that it's useless for him to be anxious, he can only watch helplessly as Sima Yi grasps all the power of the government in an orderly manner.
Some middle-of-the-road factions who always said they would be loyal to Wei also saw the signs and turned to Sima Yi one after another.Of course, there are not many such people, because such people rarely follow Cao Pi to leave the Central Plains and come to this remote Yingzhou.
The servant next to the dragon couch reminded Cao Pi, who was in a daze with crooked hair, in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the ministers are all here, and the court meeting can begin."
Only then did Cao Pi wake up, and looked into the hall.Then he shouted to the servant as if he had discovered something: "Everyone is here, why didn't Grand Master and General Sima Yi come?"
"Your Majesty, you forgot that His Majesty personally issued an edict that the general can go to court as he pleases. It is so late and he hasn't come yet, which means that he has something to do today and can't come."
Cao Pi was helpless, unwilling to even open his mouth, and waved his hand to let the court meeting begin.The servant then shouted at the top of his voice: "The court meeting has begun, all the ministers and workers, if you have the original, you will leave the court if you have no original."
Someone in the main hall immediately played up and said: "Gunu Kingdom has surrendered to Great Wei, agreed to all the conditions proposed by Great Wei, and surrendered to Great Wei. At present, there are three thousand cavalry stationed in the cities of Dog Nu Kingdom, but our side General Xiahou Dun was unfortunately killed in battle. The imperial court still needs to send a capable general to lead these cavalry, and [-] cavalry is not enough, more troops should be sent. Because Kyushu Island is very important to our Great Wei, and the Gonu Kingdom must be fully controlled In the hands of the imperial court, it’s not a matter of being a minister.”
Someone sneered and said, "That's natural. In fact, these generals have already done it. They have already sent many generals and ministers to the Gonu Kingdom, and they have also sent reinforcements to a large number of soldiers."
Cao Pi on the dragon bed and a group of supporters of the Wei family began to mutter in their hearts, let alone discussing such a big matter in the court, let Sima Yi make the decision without even saying hello?But thinking about it, no one said these words.
There was a moment of silence in the hall before Cao Pi broke the silence: "Well, the general is decisive and saves me from worrying. Even, very good." Then he winked at the servant next to him, wanting to retreat to the harem early Quiet yourself.
The servant sang loudly again: "If you have the original performance, you will leave the court without the original!" When Cao Pi was about to lift his buttocks and walk, another voice came: "Your Majesty, the minister has the original performance!"
Cao Pi had no choice but to sit on the dragon couch again, looking around, it turned out to be the servant Yang Xiu.Yang Xiu is Sima Yi's most peripheral confidant.This means that he has no blood family relationship with Sima Yi, nor is he a student of anyone in the Sima family, and his current official position has nothing to do with Sima Yi or even the Sima family.But he had a very close relationship with Sima Yi during this period of time.
Cao Pi asked impatiently: "Young Minister Yang Xiu, what do you have to report?"
At this time Yang Xiu had already stepped into the middle of the main hall, bowed down respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, my Great Wei has been defeated since the Central Plains, and is on the verge of perishing. Xinde Taishi Zhongda tried his best to turn the tide, and led our army, people, monarchs and ministers to Yingzhou. Chuangxinji has now calmed down Kyushu without bloodshed. The hope of reviving our Great Wei is a re-creation for our Great Wei. We discussed with the ministers, and everyone said that Wei Zuo is dead. I hope Your Majesty will follow Yao, The way of Shun is to use the Zen position of the mountains and rivers to be with the grand master. In this way, the heart of heaven is in line with the will of the people in the bottom, and your majesty can also enjoy the blessing of leisure. The ancestors are lucky! The living beings are lucky! The ministers agreed, "
Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi knew that he was forcing the palace to give way.He also acted in this scene once, but that time he was not the character who was forced to give up.His face immediately turned pale and sullen.Looking around, there were a few people who were as surprised and angry as him, but at least [-]% of them looked indifferent, obviously they knew and even participated in this matter long ago.
Cao Pi angrily slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "Yang Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about! Do you know that this is treason? Come, someone, take down the traitor Yang Xiu, and execute the law on the spot."
However, his shouts had no effect, and the warriors standing outside the temple gate did not move.At this time, a large group of people in the hall knelt down in unison, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please take the heart of heaven and the people as the most important thing, and give the emperor's throne to the Grand Master!"
"You, you...rebels, all rebels!" Cao Pi was already incoherent in anger.He simply flicked his sleeves and rushed towards the harem.When he stepped into his bedroom, he heard the door behind him being shut with a bang.He hurriedly turned around and pushed the door of the hall, only to find that the hall was locked tightly, no matter how much he yelled, there was no response from outside.
When Cao Pi was trapped in his bedroom for three days, he was dizzy from starvation and finally agreed to surrender the throne to Sima Yi.So, the historical drama of three words and three concessions was re-enacted in this newly built Xinye City.Then Sima Yi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor as he wished, and used his hometown to abbreviate the name of the country---Jin.
Chapter 799
sorry.There was an error in the character name in Chapter 798 yesterday, Yang Xiu should be Yang Hu, it has been corrected
In the late autumn of the tenth year of Xiuwu, the Jin Dynasty established by Sima Yi on the Kyushu Island in Yingzhou moved its capital to Kumamoto City in the Dog Nu Kingdom, renamed the city to Xin'an, and began to expand it.Xin'an, like Xinye, means the new city of Chang'an.
On the eve of Sima Yi moving his capital to Kumamoto Castle, Cao Pi accidentally drowned in a toilet.The court of the Jin Dynasty publicly declared that Cao Pi drank too much alcohol, accidentally fell into the latrine while going to the toilet, and was unable to climb out after being stunned by the methane gas.But what is the actual situation, I am afraid that only a few insiders know, and the world will not know.
Sima Yi didn't show any affection for the old aristocrats of the Gonu Kingdom. After moving the capital to Xin'an, the first thing he did was to find an excuse to eradicate the original ruling class of the Gonu Kingdom.Even Gou Guzhibei's power was completely deprived, and at this time he was really cut into Sima Yi's dog.
It took Sima Yi just two months to consolidate his internal power by cutting through the mess quickly.Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, two bad news came.The allied forces of Liang and Wei have completed their preparations on Tsushima Island, crossed the Tsushima Strait, and started their conquest of Kyushu with the previously occupied Xiaguan as their base camp.
Although Sima Yi had expected this, the news still made him extremely nervous.He immediately held a court meeting in the simple palace hall to discuss how to repel the Liang army.
"My lords, according to the report from the scouts ahead, the puppet Liang and puppet Wei allied forces have crossed the Tsushima Strait in large numbers. They are stationed at the pass and are going to attack us in Kyushu. What do you think should be done." Sima Yi spoke when he saw that all the ministers had arrived. asked.
His eldest brother Sima Lang first said: "We must drive the enemy out of Yingzhou, and even drive out of Tsushima Island. It is a perfect strategy. If the enemy can gain a firm foothold in Yingzhou, with the support of Liang Guo, who occupies the real Kyushu in the world, If we use the power of the world to attack our Kyushu Island, we will be in danger of defeat sooner or later. Yingzhou is surrounded by sea, and only a powerful navy can accomplish this goal. Naval attack can assist infantry to drive the enemy out of Yingzhou , the code can resist the enemy overseas. So we need to strengthen the navy."
Sima Yi sighed and said: "Of course I understand this truth. I have already appointed special personnel to carefully build a powerful navy. But it will take time. Now you have to think more about how to deal with Liang Jun for me now."
As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, Zhong Hui, his newly promoted general, said, "Your Majesty, the enemy army came across the sea and only occupied Xiaguan. As far as I know, the fields in Xiaguan are barren and the population is sparse. So they still have to come from Transshipment of grain and grass on Tsushima Island for the army. Therefore, if the war is prolonged, we will benefit ourselves and the enemy. Our army can focus on defense, relying on the topography of the fortified city to hold on, and small groups will harass the enemy at sea and land without giving a supplementary line. Time is one Long, the enemy army will be exhausted. At the same time, our army's powerful navy has also been built, and then a large-scale counterattack can drive Liang Jun out of Yingzhou in one go."
Sima Yi repeatedly nodded in praise and said, "Shi Ji's thinking is quite similar to what I think. If we can really get into a long-term stalemate with the enemy, then when our army builds a powerful navy, we can directly attack Tsushima from the sea for a long distance. Island, to intercept their retreat. At least they can be forced to withdraw from Yingzhou, and at worst, they can even be gathered and annihilated on this island of Kyushu."
At this time, another person said: "Your Majesty, the Yamatai can't be idle. Your Majesty can issue an edict to let the army of Yamatai cross the sea from the other side of the Xiaguan Strait to continuously harass the Liang army guarding Xiaguan. They acted as checks." Sima Yi glanced over and saw that it was Yang Hu who had the merit of forcing Cao Pi to abdicate.He nodded again and again: "What Yang Shilang reminded is that I will order Xiematai to send troops to the pass."
Sima Lang stroked his beard and said, "It's not enough to just make an edict, we still need to show some sincerity, otherwise we might push Ximatai to the enemy's side."
Sima Yi said: "Then send them a ship of gold and silver."
Sima Lang shook his head and said, "It's not right. The Japanese people's land is backward in business and trade, and gold and silver are of little use to them. Even if you send other valuables, it won't have much effect. Back then, Yamatai was counting on us Help them destroy the dog slave country, so they are willing to continue to proclaim and provide support to us. Now that the dog slave country has been wiped out, we have changed the dynasty. Whether they will continue the relationship with us in the past does not depend on a little gold and silver wealth It can be guaranteed. Moreover, now that the enemy army has occupied Shimonoseki, their ships have also entered the Seto Sea. Our ships transporting gold, silver and treasure are also easily robbed. We have to rely on another method to form a stronger alliance with Yamatai Relationship…"
Sima Yi interrupted Sima Lang and said with a smile: "In fact, I already know what you want to say. Do you want our Dajin royal family and Yamatai to form an in-law relationship? But now the problem is how to match. Do you let me go?" It is impossible to marry their queen Himiko, but Himiko is already an old woman in her sixties."
Sima Lang said: "Of course your Majesty does not need to marry Himiko, but as far as I know, Himiko has a niece who is fifteen years old, who is just the age of cardamom, and is about to marry. This Yamatai can have a woman as king. And Himiko She has never been married and has no children, so this niece must inherit the throne in the future. Didn’t Yamatai just go with the flow and come under the rule of my Great Jin?”
Sima Yi nodded and said: "But Sima Shi, the eldest prince under a certain knee, has not yet reached the age of the crown, who will marry the niece of Queen Ximatai?"
Sima Lang smiled and said: "You don't need a prince, your majesty will marry this young girl."
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Pass on the imperial edict and act accordingly."
……
Nearly ten days later, several ships of the Jin Army Navy finally arrived at Yamato City.Because the Liang Junwei Wenshui Division almost controlled half of the Seto Inland Sea to the west, they traveled all the way while hiding in Tibet and zigzag.This fleet brought Sima Yi's edict, a ship of gold and silver treasures, and Sima Yi's special envoy, Sima Jin, his sixth brother.That's why Sima Yi sent his brother here just now to express his respect for Yamatai.
It's just that Yamatai's side was not so polite, and did not greet the imperial envoy with the courtesy that the next country treats the emperor and ministers of the upper country.It was just that a small official with a very small position was appointed to be responsible for the reception, and Sima Jin was introduced to live in the building.
However, this was all within Sima Yi's expectation, and he had already explained it to Sima Jin.It was one of Sima Jin's goals to let Yamatai recognize Jin as the successor of Wei and continue the relationship between the previous kingdom of monarchs and ministers.
So Sima Jin was not surprised, and patiently waited for Himiko to be summoned.
Chapter 800 Fierce Debate on Yamato Castle
Sima Jin lived in the mansion in Yamato City for three days, but he didn't see him summoned for a long time, and his heart suddenly became anxious.But because of Sima Yi's confession, he was not easy to get angry, so he had to repeatedly ask the officials in Ximatai who were in charge of receiving him.
He spared no expense, spent silk, satin and jewels on top and bottom, only to find out some news.Only after he secretly met with a Yamadai official did he find out that Himiko was still waiting for someone.That person is also going to be an envoy to Yamatai, and has the same goal as him, to form an alliance with Yamatai.Most importantly, this person was sent by Cao Chong's Wei State.
When Sima Jin heard the news, he was taken aback and immediately became nervous.He was determined to complete this errand at first, and he gave Sima Yi a guarantee with his chest.If he didn't complete it, but let the enemy country achieve the same goal, it would be a huge harm to the Jin country, and he himself would probably be punished by his elder brother Sima Yi, at least he would make Sima Yi despise him in the future.
But he didn't have any better way to stop it. Even if it was too late to intercept the opponent, it would be impossible for him to do so.Sima Jin was helpless, the only thing he could do was to spend his money desperately, manage people from all aspects of Yamatai, and try to speak for himself at the critical moment.Two days later, Sima Jin finally got news from Yamatai, asking him to meet Himiko the next day.
On this day, Sima Jin got up early in the morning, dressed neatly and came down to the humble thatched palace in Yamato City surrounded by his followers.A group of ministers from Yamatai had also been waiting here long ago, gathering together in groups.
Sima Jin's eyes were sharp, and after a drink, he noticed that there were several people in the crowd who were dressed differently from these Japanese officials.Sima Jin squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and he recognized that it was Yang Xiu, one of Cao Chong's subordinates.Obviously, Yang Xiu is the envoy sent by Cao Chong.
