Luoyang.

In the blink of an eye, it started to snow in Luoyang.

In the side hall of Taiji Hall, one can still hear roars one after another.

"King Mao is a waste!"

Sima Yu's face was filled with anger.

"I gave him the position of coach, and this is how he repays me? I also expected him to defeat King Qi. Now that he is fine, I will thank him if he doesn't throw Yingchuan back."

Huhehehe~

Sima Yu scolded him until he was out of breath.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body!"

The high official on the side stepped forward to comfort him despite the thunderous wrath. Of course, the only response he received was the emperor's cold eyes.

When the chief minister saw this scene, he shrunk his neck. He didn't dare to continue talking. He concentrated on being a coward.

"The front is so sluggish, how can I not be angry? If I want to pay attention to my health, I have to look better in the front."

Sima Yu was sitting on the dragon chair. Everyone in the audience looked at me and me, but no one dared to come forward and speak.

If you come forward to speak now, isn't this going to bring trouble on the emperor?

"What? You have nothing to say now? Didn't you talk freely during the court meeting before?"

"this..."

The emperor had already said this, and Sima Tong, the supervisor of the Central Secretary, also stood up bravely.

"Your Majesty, when the front was defeated, the King of Huainan had not yet arrived in Yuzhou to take command of the situation on the front. Moreover, although the front lost ground, it only lost 12,000 people, and it was not at the stage of breaking out the muscles and bones. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. King Huainan

With his ability, let’s not say whether he can defeat King Qi, but it is absolutely possible to stabilize the situation.”

"Hmph! You know how to pick it up. Last time we lost more than 13,000 people, and this time we lost more than 12,000 people. Although our southern expeditionary army has a large number of people, it is not so damaged. Besides,

Although the foundation is there, the morale is completely gone. Liang and Runan will be lost. If we lose Yingchuan again, wouldn't we be able to directly attack Sili?"

If Yingchuan is broken, the only natural barrier between King Qi and Luoyang is Hulao Pass.

In a place like Xingyang, it is difficult to defend against King Qi's offensive.

But if it really comes to that point, wouldn’t it be the last step away from death?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have seen the military and strategic talents of the King of Huainan. He will definitely be able to stabilize the situation when he arrives at Yingchuan. Besides, it has snowed now. It is colder this year than in previous years. As long as we close the city and do not fight, we can all be together."

It’s hard for the king to move.”

In winter, it is indeed difficult to fight a war.

Especially this year, the snow is heavier and it is colder.

Marching and fighting consumes a lot of energy and requires more food and grass. Moreover, marching and fighting will definitely cause sweating. If the cold wind blows, you will immediately fall ill.

The medical treatment of this era was not as good as that of later generations. A mere typhoid fever might kill someone.

certainly...

The possibility of a surprise attack is not ruled out, but winter is very unfavorable to both sides, especially to the attacking side.

"I asked King Huainan and King Mao to fight against the traitorous King Qi, not because they were blocking King Qi's attack, but because they wanted to eliminate King Qi for me."

"this..."

At this time, Wang Yan stepped forward.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the battle ahead is defeated, it actually doesn't matter whether King Huainan can block King Qi's offensive. Marquis Guangyuan is present in the court hall now. Your Majesty only needs to send Marquis Guangyuan to fight, and King Qi will be defeated.

"

It's Marquis Guangyuan again...

Sima Yu sneered in his heart and said, "My right servant, I have other important uses. How can I be sent to the front line to fight the enemy?"

It is said that the more Wang Yan wants Marquis Guangyuan to leave the Chancery, the less likely Sima Yu will let Marquis Guangyuan leave the Chancery.

You, Wang Yan, still want to cover the sky with one hand at the Chancellor's desk?

Who gave you the courage?

Therefore, these days, Sima Yu has given Wang Sheng more and more authority.

This is also the reason why Wang Yan is miserable.

This was originally his one-word hall, but with the addition of Guangyuan Hou, this hall became a two-word hall, and he couldn't do anything he wanted to do without Marquis Guangyuan standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much."

Sima Ya finally spoke at this time.

Although he has always been at odds with Wang Sheng, he has learned to behave now.

If you can avoid provoking Marquis Guangyuan, it's best not to do so.

Unless you are absolutely sure that you can beat Marquis Guangyuan.

but...

too difficult.

Sima Ya sighed silently in her heart.

Even Mr. Jiang was sentenced to death by His Majesty after offending Marquis Guangyuan, let alone him?

"How can I not be worried?"

"Your Majesty, wasn't there good news from Yecheng a few days ago? The King of Chengdu has captured Yecheng and is now guarding Xingyang. I think with the King of Chengdu joining us, it should be much easier to deal with the King of Qi."

I don't want Sima Yu to be even more annoyed when he hears the words "King of Chengdu".

"Although the King of Chengdu took Yecheng, he was dilly-dallying outside Yecheng and delayed what he could accomplish in one month to three months. Moreover, when he went to Xingyang, he killed first and then reported. He really didn't want to let me go.

In the eyes."

Hearing Sima Yu speak like this, even Sima Ya did not dare to speak.

"Your Majesty, the situation seems unfavorable now, but King Qi will not be able to attack again in a short period of time. Instead of worrying about the war in Yuzhou, Your Majesty, it is better to think more about the affairs of the foreign king. In the past few days, the Chancellery has sent a lot of information

, mostly about the connection between King Zong and King Qi.”

"snort."

Sima Yu snorted coldly.

This is what worries him the most.

King Qi is naturally a serious concern, but with King Qi alone, it is difficult to pose a threat to him. However, if the princes of the outer sects collude with King Qi, that is not necessarily the case.

However, Sima Yu never regretted driving all the clan kings back to their fiefdoms from Luoyang at the beginning of the year.

If these sect kings are not driven back, it is not certain whether he can have the final say in Luoyang.

What's more, if he doesn't let these sect kings show their fox tails, how can he attack these sect kings?

There is a prime minister in the country, and the people Sima Yu sends out to supervise are not easy people.

"The King of Qi is powerful, but there are probably not many people who would dare to quarrel with him."

"Your Majesty, maybe you can summon the clan kings to return to Luo. If you don't come back, I'm afraid they are people with different intentions, and your Majesty can also punish them." Sima Tong suggested on the side.

Call the king back?

Then isn’t Luoyang a mixed bag?

"You Pu She, what do you think?"

Sima Yu looked at Wang Sheng.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is feasible to recall the clan kings, but it also has disadvantages. Although some clan kings originally had evil intentions, they did not have the courage to do anything rebellious. After being provoked by your majesty, they took desperate risks.

Secondly, if those princes who are loyal to your majesty are recalled to Luoyang by your majesty, wouldn’t the feudal country be unguarded? If your majesty wants to use the power of the loyal princes, you won’t be able to borrow it.”
