Royal road

The city of Ye that had just been captured was like a piece of scorched earth.Yi Yan walked on the wide street, frowning tightly.He was still a step late.

The official residence in the city was almost completely looted.Wives and children were separated, and countless families were destroyed.Coupled with the defenders who were unable to resist, there should be thousands of casualties.Fortunately, the camp of the rogues was broken, and the women and treasures looted were still piled up outside the palace and never taken away.

Ladies, naturally they have to be sent home, but the looted property cannot be returned so easily.Wait until the officials sent by the lord come, and then make unified arrangements, either appease the people or exile the army.His task is to clean up the chaos and keep the city.

"General, the corpses of King Dongyan and his son were found in the camp. What should we do?" The soldiers who had been dispatched to investigate the prisoners before hurried back.

"Calm down first, and wait for the lord's order." Yi Yan replied coldly.

Li Feng's department not only killed Sima Teng, but also cut off his wife and children who were attached behind him.As a result, a family of four, young and old, was slaughtered.Only one bastard escaped.However, Yiyan has no interest in such a tragedy.Sima Teng also sold him as a slave back then, if the lord hadn't rescued him, he would have died on the way to Yanzhou long ago.Moreover, this person is small in number, if he is rescued, he might not appreciate it, but would be jealous instead.If he doesn't die, Yiyan still has to think of a way.

Now it saves trouble, but the body needs to be packed, and these coffins will probably have to be transported back to Luoyang.After all, Sima Teng is the younger brother of the King of the East China Sea, so he must be buried to deal with the funeral.In terms of etiquette, don't take it lightly.

"What happened to the surrender?" Yi Yan asked again.

"Over a thousand surrendered, most of them are from Zhang Hong's old department." The soldiers immediately said.

Among the rogues this time, there are many rebels.Zhang Hong is the former subordinate of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, who was relegated to the king of Hejian.Later, King Hejian died, and his trilogy also scattered and fled.Quite a few of them joined Ji Sang's team under the banner of false emperor Sima Ying.Li Feng, who killed Sima Teng's family, also belonged to Zhang Hong's old department.Now that they were rushed into the camp by Bingzhou soldiers, they didn't have much will to escape.Anyway, it's the court soldiers and horses, so it's not bad to wait for their return.

Of course Yiyan would not just accept a group of rebels who had been rogues and had a disorganized military discipline: "Order people to reorganize them, put them all in the civilian camp, repair the city, and reclaim the official land."

This is how they treat surrendered soldiers.It's a pity that there were too many horse thieves among the rogues this time, and even when Ji Sang was killed, a few slipped away.Fortunately, he won the head of the bandit chief, and he did not defend the city gate in vain.

These things just flashed through my mind.Yiyan continued to walk forward, along the stairs, and boarded the city wall of Yecheng.After all, it was the old capital of the Wei Dynasty. This city is indeed a bit majestic, even easier to defend and harder to attack than Jinyang.

But from Sima Ying to Sima Teng, these city guards couldn't stop them, so they fled in a hurry.This tall city wall was wasted.If you give him two thousand soldiers, he will definitely be able to defend this place like a gold soup.

However, defending the city is the second priority. It is not known who will hand over the city to the imperial court this time.

Involuntarily looked towards the direction of Bingzhou.In the next instant, Yiyan's complexion turned cold.The pain of that day has not dissipated, and there is even more despair.It's like a dead end, trapping him in the end.Survival after death?Does he really have such capital?

When several coffins and Sima Teng's concubine returned to Luoyang, the little emperor's head ached.

Who would have expected that Sima Teng wouldn't be able to defend him for a few days?Bingzhou soldiers and horses were only three or five days late, and the corpses here are all cold.But are the Bingzhou soldiers really late?On the contrary, it only took about ten days from the time Yuxi was sent out to when the soldiers came to Yecheng.Jinyang is not close to Yecheng, so they must have received a military order and set off immediately.In terms of love and etiquette, Liang Zixi has achieved the ultimate.It's really hard to find fault with such a loyal minister who misses his old master.

But what about Sima Teng?After all, he is the younger brother of the King of the East China Sea. Did he just die in vain?

It took a lot of talking before the little emperor appeased Sima Teng's concubine.The imperial court wanted to posthumously confer posthumous titles, and heirs also fell on him.It's just that I don't know if I was scared out of my wits, but this bastard didn't want to go back to Yecheng, and only hoped to go to another town.

This matter can only be decided by Sima Yue.

But in this case, what about Yecheng?The little emperor looked at Wang Yan, hesitating to speak: "Situ, the bandit leader has been eliminated. Now Yecheng relies entirely on Bingzhou's troops, did you make arrangements earlier?"

As soon as the little emperor opened his mouth, Wang Yan understood what he wanted to say.Yecheng needs to send more soldiers and horses, but Bingzhou soldiers have already stationed in.This means, can Liang Zixi be made governor of Hebei at the same time?

In the Jin Dynasty, it was almost common for the governor to count states.But Liang Zixi can't!He is the person that the little emperor takes a fancy to, and Sima Yuejiu is very afraid of him.Now Sima Teng died tragically, almost extinct.Let Liang Zixi lead Wei County concurrently, it's just a daydream!And this also involves Youzhou Wang Jun.Many people in the court clearly understood Wang Jun's intention to get involved in Jizhou.It's just that there is no suitable opportunity, and it has been dragged on.Now Liang Zixi is playing tricks behind his back, ceding Dai County to the Tuoba Department, and coming to seize Wei County, the gateway to Jizhou, and he will definitely annoy Wang Jun.

But these orders were all issued by the imperial court.With such a commotion, Sima, who was far away in Jingzhou, was more and more afraid that he would be angry.

To be honest, Wang Yan really didn't want to deal with such troublesome matters.However, after thinking for a moment, he raised his eyebrows: "This is a very important moment. It is best to write to Jingzhou and ask the Grand Tutor for his opinion."

The little emperor took advantage of Sima Yue's absence to do something secretly.Now that Wang Yan made a point, he didn't dare to make an inch of it, so he could only obediently said: "I will follow Situ's arrangement."

Seeing the appearance of the little emperor, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile.This son is very thoughtful and troublesome.If it weren't for Sima, he would be more anxious to wipe out the false emperor and establish his own orthodox position.I am afraid that he has already done something to the little emperor.But Sima Yue will be satisfied with the method he came up with this time!

"Kill!" shouted hoarsely, rising and falling under the city.The crowd was like a turbulent turbid wave, washing against the towering city walls.

The puppet emperor Sima Ying retreated steadily and fled back to Fengguo.But Jiangling, an important town, did not give up.Now Sima Yue's first task is to destroy Jiangling first, and then take the life of Sima Ying, an old opponent, like a bag.

But Jiangling is really hard to fight!The thoroughfare of the seven provinces, an important place for military strategists, is still a pattern in which the old and new cities are the corners of each other.Attacking in winter is like a mountain of knives and ghosts, extremely difficult.But even so, Sima Yue did not relax.His general Gou Xi is extremely good at fighting, except that he is harsh and fierce, like Bai Qi, there is nothing wrong with him.However, this temperament is very effective when placed on the warlord. Even the weak peasants mustered up their courage and rushed forward one after another.

It was already the tenth day, even a city like Jiangling couldn't last long.

However, standing in the tent blankly, Sima Yue was not delighted with this progress.On the contrary, looking at the letter sent by Luoyang, he only felt that he was burning inside and out of control!Sima Teng actually died in Yecheng?Even the three sons-in-law died cleanly... This!How acceptable is this!

It was the accident caused by the little emperor and Liang Zixi working together!Looking at the battle report, Sima Yue felt furious, and wished he could lead the army immediately and go back to teach that Zhuzi a lesson!But when the battle has progressed to this point, how can we retreat half a step.Luoyang, I'm afraid it will take two months to return.How could he just sit back and watch these people do whatever they wanted?

Furious, Sima Yue could not wait to order Wang Jun to take control of Jizhou as well, and it would be best to eat Liang Zixi's territory.However, when he saw Wang Yan's private letter, his rationality returned a little.He frowned, looked at it again, and finally clapped his hands and smiled.

"This is a great plan!"

On the piece of paper in front of him, only a few sentences were written.But the most important thing is to be clear.There is an attack on guarding Yecheng, and he should be promoted to General Weiyuan Yiyan to General Anbei, sealed off as Marquis of Guannei, and led the military affairs in Hebei.

From a miscellaneous general, he jumped into the title of marquis and advanced product, and also led a place of military affairs.What an honor is this?And this kind of generous reward is second, Sima Yue knows very well that the Jie general is the root cause of Bingzhou's soldiers and horses being so powerful!What about the confidant and love general?How many people can resist Lilu!Let alone a Capricorn born in a poor family.

If he takes orders, Bingzhou will lose a capable general, and if he sends a prefect to take over Yecheng, can he still be unable to control a Jie slave?And if Liang Zixi refuses, it is likely that Yiyan will withdraw from Yecheng and return to Jinyang.In this way, wouldn't the troubles in Yecheng be solved?It can also plant a deep thorn between the two masters and servants.With such a high promotion, is Yiyan really unmoved?

Even if he knew there was a ghost in it, Liang Zixi could only hold his nose and admit it.Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, the strength of Bingzhou's soldiers and horses will be greatly reduced. This is the beauty of the divorce plan!

Wang Yifu is really wise and scheming, and after the false emperor is wiped out, let his younger brother Wang Cheng be the governor of Jingzhou.Having finally resolved a major matter on his mind, Sima Yue put down the letter and chuckled lightly.Before the solar eclipse, he was still worried.Wouldn't it be nice to solve it now?

It's a pity that it will not be able to catch up with the Zhengdan Dynasty.Sima Yue sneered, let the little emperor spend a few more days in Luoyang.Let's see what else he can do!
