Royal Road

Chapter 294: Move the capital

"My son is incompetent, please my father to confess." Kneeling down the stairs, Liu Yao's expression was earnest. In fact, in this great battle, it was also because of him and because of him that it was defeated.

The soldiers and horses sent to the party were defeated in World War I. Both Zhang Dian and Pu Hong were killed and more than 20,000 soldiers were damaged. Most of the rest were newly gathered Diqiang Zahu, who had no intention of returning to report the letter at all, turned around and fled back to Yongzhou. These people tried to find them but couldn't find them, which meant that 30,000 horses were lost clean.

And this defeat also brought a great threat to Binh Duong County. Only four thousand cavalrymen made them lose two cities in a row. When they saw the crossbow arrow penetrating into the stone on the wall of Xiangling City, everyone felt chills in their hearts. With such a weapon in hand, adding more than 10,000 people, will it be possible to directly capture Pingyang?

No one dared to say this. So Liu Yao became the chief culprit, so he had to plead guilty first.

Looking at the clan son who bowed down, Liu Yuan sighed: "Yongming is not to be blamed for this battle. It is really the cunning of Bingzhou. Moreover, the reinforcements sent by Gou Xi have already been close to Luoyang, and it will be dragged on, but it will only waste troops."

It is also that they retired in time. Before long, Gou Xi and Shan Jian’s reinforcements rushed to Luoyang. If it stays outside the city, it will definitely turn into a war of attrition, and maybe how many soldiers and horses will be involved in it. Now that he has taken the counties of Henan prefecture, he has not fought a battle in vain.

But the biggest problem is not here, but...

Knowing that Liu Yuan valued himself a lot, Liu Yao was relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Now Sizhou has a fierce army, and the capital is Pingyang. There are many future problems. It is better to move the capital to Chang'an. Guanzhong is a fertile land for thousands of miles, and there is a natural danger in Tongguan. Fang For the foundation of the nation..."

This is it. Liu Yuan frowned slightly. The combined state raid brought a hidden danger. Some people in North Korea began to question the safety of Binh Duong. Both Pingyang and Luoyang belong to Sizhou, and Hebingzhou is within easy reach. If Bingzhou is not captured, any military action against Luoyang may cause such a dangerous situation as it is today.

No one can guess whether Liang Feng is loyal to Dajin. But taking advantage of the situation to attack Pingyang is a simple task. It can even be said that as long as the little emperor of the Jin country has the heart to gather the Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou squares to attack Pingyang, the Han army may not be able to fully defend.

The precedent of Binzhou is too dangerous, enough to make everyone fearful.

However, it is even more impossible to start a war against Bingzhou. At that time, Liu Yuan was still king in Xihe State of Bingzhou, but he was still driven out by the surname Liang. Now Liang Feng has defeated Wang Jun, holding the two states in his hand, and his strength is even higher. What does it mean that he can be beaten?

Once a war with Binzhou, the most likely thing is for others to cut a knife from behind. Furthermore, even if you fight for your wealth, it is still a matter of whether you can win or not. You didn't see 30,000 soldiers and horses joining the party, and they were all wiped out in an instant. And the consequences of Wang Jun's 100,000 soldiers, isn't it also vividly remembered?

As a result, the dilemma that Luoyang faced also fell on Pingyang. There are still eight gates around Luoyang, there are natural dangers of the Yellow River, what else is there in Pingyang?

In comparison, Chang'an is not the place where the Han Dynasty was founded, and it sits on a thousand miles of fertile soil. At the same time, there are tens of thousands of Diqiang Miscellaneous Hus scattered in the Yong and Qin prefectures. If you can use all these people for your own use, it will be much easier to fight Jin Guo. The right time, the right place, and the right people, it’s really a good place to move the capital.

However, Liu Yuan could not let go so easily. After leaving Pingyang, the place where the Huns left their home, is his foundation still stable? The capital was abandoned in a terrible war, where would the emperor's face be placed? He was really unwilling to leave Pingyang like this!

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yuanfang said: "It has only been two years since the capital was moved to Pingyang, and it is really inappropriate to change it rashly. This matter should be discussed again..."

"Father!" Liu Yao still wanted to advise.

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "This is a national matter, how can I decide without authorization? Let's discuss it later!"

However, before Liu Yuan could make a decision, the city of Luoyang had changed drastically.

When Linghu Kuang led his troops to Luoyang, the enemy retreated early, leaving only the devastated city. In the early years, Zhang Fang had raged in Luoyang and even burned two city gates, but he had never done anything to places like Taixue and the government office. The Huns were different. They did not show any mercy and were even willing to destroy these symbols representing the Jin Dynasty. The whole Luoyang seemed to be ploughed, the house collapsed, and the smoke billowed. Not to mention the people in the city.

Seeing this tragic situation, Linghu Kuang couldn't bear to look at it. When Jinyang was besieged, I am afraid that it has not fallen to this point. Where is the glory of the past in this capital of the emperor?

Because it was an envoy from the state, Linghu Kuang was declared into the palace by the emperor as soon as he arrived in the city. In any case, it was the first time I saw him. Even if the palace was dilapidated and withered, Linghu Kuang's heart was full of excitement. This is meeting the emperor! And this time the enemy retreats, it all depends on the envoy to send troops to attack the pseudo-Han, the emperor should also give a big reward. Such a good thing with You Rongyan, if it weren't for his uncle's great power in conquering Lishi, I am afraid it would not fall to him.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, Linghu Kuang tended to step into the palace, and bowed down: "Chen Linghu Kuang, see your Majesty!"

"General Linghu, please." A rather young voice came from the stairs.

Ling Hu Kuang didn't dare to raise his head to offend Tian Yan, and he just bowed to his feet before standing up.

"This time, General Linghu led his troops to Los Angeles, his heart is commendable, and he deserves a reward!"

The emperor opened the Chinchilla, but Linghu Kuang did not dare to take the lead, and hurriedly bowed back and said, "The minister is ordered by the governor of Liang to come and **** him. The merit of retreating depends on the fact that the governor uses his troops properly. The minister is not ashamed to be.

He dare not let the emperor give birth to a misunderstanding. This time, the first effort came from General Yi who Qingqi entered the enemy's territory, and the second was his uncle who regained Lishi. But in the final analysis, it is Liang Shijun who knows people and is good at responsibility, and thinks things like gods.

On the throne, there was a moment of silence, but soon there was a voice again: "General Linghu's words are not bad, this time Liang Qing sent troops decisively to surround Wei and save Zhao. If not, how about Luoyang? I don't know how many soldiers Liang Qing sent. Horse, attack Binh Duong?"

Linghu Kuang immediately lifted his spirits and said loudly: "A total of five thousand horses, breaking through two cities in a row, just forcibly retreated the Huns. There were still 20,000 soldiers and horses who attacked Lishi, and now the Naxi River Nation has merged into the prefecture."

Only 25,000 people have done so much? There was a slight commotion in the hall, Linghu Kuang didn’t care, and continued: “Before the Huns sent 30,000 troops to the Shangdang to block the Xingdao. It was also the captain who sent troops to defeat the Xingdao. The victory is here, please, please. Your Majesty glanced over."

With that said, he offered the memorial book that he carried with him. The little yellow door immediately took it and presented it to the emperor. The little emperor did not open the memorial, but only slightly nodded: "In this battle, Liang Qing should be the first contributor."

He smiled at the corners of his lips, but his smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

After hearing that Liang Feng led his troops into Pingyang that day, Sima Tan felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He also knows how to surround Wei and save Zhao. But with this method, will it be possible to protect the Huns from retreating? Obviously sitting on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, thousands of light cavalry can fight the chaos in the Xiongnu territory, but did not send a single soldier into Luoyang to rescue. If Liu Yuan used some means and didn't withdraw his troops, he would sit and watch Luoyang city destroyed, would the emperor die?

And to fight Pingyang, it needs 25,000 soldiers. If Luoyang sends troops, how many? Who can stop this "Da Jin loyal minister"?

There is Wang Mang far away, Cao Cao near by, and even his ancestor Sima, who was not a loyal minister at first? The power is high and the master is striving for rebellion and usurpation of power. That Liang Zixi was no longer a sick and weak gentleman, but a tiger entrenched in the state. How could he tolerate such a courtier on the side of the couch?

Linghu Kuang knew what the little emperor was thinking, and knelt down again to thank you.

Looking at the loyal young general, the little emperor put away all the expressions on his face: "Liang Qing is the humerus of the imperial court. After I move the capital, Sizhou can be handed over to Liang Qing with peace of mind."

Move the capital? ! Linghu Kuang suddenly raised his head in shock, but before he could see the person on the throne, he woke up and hurriedly bowed his head. The beads of sweat on his forehead fell. How could the capital be moved so hastily? Luoyang is the capital of the Eight Passes, and the Yellow River can be used. This encounter is really the fault of the defenders. As long as you strengthen the strength of a few passes, how can you be so embarrassed to lose?

If the emperor had left Luoyang to attack the Huns, wouldn't it all fall on the shoulders of the emperor?

Seeing the horrified expression of Linghu Kuang, Sima Tan only felt a trace of comfort in his heart, and said loudly: "Combined with the state and strong horses, I only hope that Liang Qing can drive out the Hu prisoners and stabilize the party. When the pseudo-Han destroys the country, I will return to Luoyang! General Linghu, since you have brought your troops to **** you, let me go to Shouchun with me."

Shouchun was the platform chosen by the little emperor. He had also thought about moving the capital to Xuchang before, but Wang Mi's army captured Xudu one step ahead of time. In Yu, Yan, Qing, and Jing, there were constant wars. On the other hand, in the south, after the rebellious commander Chen Minfu punished him, the military misfortune gradually disappeared, and it can be said to be stable.

However, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, had already arrived at Jianye, and was assisted by Wang Dao, Wang Dun, and Liu Kun. If you enter the east of the Yangtze River, it is inevitable that Sima Yue will happen, and you will be controlled by others. On the other hand, Shouchun, it was Cao Wei's army at the beginning to attack the outpost of Soochow. Neighboring Jing, Yu, and Xushu prefectures, it can be far from the situation in Heluo, and the town of Xuyu is close to it. There are also fertile fields and cultivated land, transporting water and four links, so there is no danger and emptiness.

In this way, no one can dominate each defender. Check each other and use it for yourself. Moreover, Shouchun is the old land of the Kingdom, located in Huainan, so that it will not fall into the homeland of Sun Wu. He hasn't completely lost Sima's family business.

As for Beidi, leave it to Liang Feng, Gou Xi, Duan Wuwuchen and others. Given that these people are good at using soldiers, sooner or later He Shuo will be able to quell He Shuo and try to punish Rong Di. By then, he will be full-fledged and will march northward. Why can't he recover the old capital?

Hearing that the emperor gave this order, Linghu Kuang was shocked for a while not knowing how to answer. Said it was an escort, in fact, the enemy had already retreated. He was more often ordered to come to Luoyang for a cutscene, with only a thousand men and horses. Why was he suddenly called up by the emperor and was going to Shouchun with his car? However, as a Dajin general, how should the emperor's decree be rejected? If it is disobedience, isn't it the same as disobedience?

It froze for a while before Linghu Kuang slowly leaned over and kowtowed: "Chen, follow the decree."

Looking at the somewhat stiff back, the little emperor sneered. Since there are many soldiers capable of fighting, why not let this Sizhou one place to you? It would be best if he could lose both sides with the Huns!
