"Your Majesty seems to be able to keep his composure. It seems that he has gained some experience in being an emperor over the past year."

Wang Sheng was holding a letter from Luoyang in his hand, with a smile on his face.

However, Emperor Sima Yu was not in a hurry, so naturally he was not in a hurry either.

"Now that the battle situation on the front line is like this, Your Majesty is still not worried. When the Lord comes to clean up the mess, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"That's true."

Wang Sheng did not deny it either.

If the front line is really defeated and the emperor's troops suffer serious losses, then the princes and kings from all over the country will really send troops to rebel.

At that time, rebellion will be the general trend, and no matter how powerful Wang Sheng is, he may not be of much use.

but...

Emperor Sima Yu is not a fool, nor is Huainan King Sima Yun. They know what they are doing.

For example, the King of Huainan would definitely not dare to be defeated. If Sima Yu were to hold him accountable for his defeat, he would be the one to blame.

Judging from the news coming from Yuzhou, Huainan King Sima Yun did as he expected.

"But no one can predict what will happen in the future, and... I am not unprepared at all."

Wang Sheng did not want to stay in Hongnong County any longer.

"Let's go to Xingyang to farm. It seems that it will take some time for Your Majesty to re-activate me."

Wang Sheng was about to leave, but Sima Yun, the princess of Ruyang County, came to Wang Sheng.

"Junhou, since you are leaving Hongnong, my brother has also been imprisoned in Hongnong for several months. He has no grudge against you. Even if it comes to use in the future, given my father's character, he will not

Because my brother's life has been compromised by the Lord, why not... let him go?"

Wang Sheng looked at Sima Yun's pretty face and knew what she was thinking.

"Let it go, let it go."

Sima Bing is indeed of little use in his hands.

However...

Sima Bing and Sima Yun are familiar with each other.

He knew too many things about Wang Sheng's inside story. If he was imprisoned by Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng could still spare his life. However, if he was to be released, Sima Bing would have to die.

.

Actually...

The same is true for Sima Yun, the princess of Ruyang County.

After all, she is the daughter of King Qi. If she is brought to Luoyang, it will be like a time bomb for Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng will not take this risk.

As for the original purpose of Princess Ruyang's existence, it was just to relieve Wang Sheng's boredom.

Unknowingly...

His Wang Sheng's heart was almost as hard as steel.

It seems that he has adapted to this era and his identity.

The next day, Wang Sheng, Shi Le, Princess Ruyang and others drove towards Xingyang County.

Although Sima Bing was released, he was kidnapped by bandits immediately after leaving the county and died a violent death.

As for the news of Sima Bing's death, it is not easy for King Qi to know, and it is even more difficult for Princess Ruyang to know.

In this era, it is really difficult to convey a message.

Especially when Wang Sheng wanted to hide the news.

.....

After arriving at Xingyang County, it was another battle of wits and courage with the local gentry.

In addition, Wang had some disputes with the Zheng family in Xingyang before he was born, so it was already a month later that the affairs of the farm in Xingyang were settled.

And what happened this month was also very exciting.

The first is the news from Yuzhou.

The King of Huainan and the King of Qi are still in a stalemate, but the three cities in front have all been defeated.

As for the process, it was not Zhang Guang's Yan County that was defeated first, but Liu Bai, the direct descendant of the King of Huainan, who was defeated first.

Originally, on the Shaoling side of the middle road, Changshan King Sima Yi pretended to attack. However, as soon as Xihua was lost, Xiao Qi King Sima Chao led tens of thousands of his men to join forces with Changshan King to attack the city.

With Xiao Qi King Sima Chao on one side, Changshan King Sima Yi did not dare to paddle, so he had to attack with all his strength.

The reason why Lin County was able to withstand the attack of King Nanyang was because Zhang Hong divided his troops in Shaoling to support him. Now that Xihua County has been defeated and Shaoling cannot hold it, where can there be troops to help Lin County?

Therefore, after holding on for less than five days, Zhang Hong and Zhang Guang abandoned Shaoling and Linxian at the same time and retreated to the rear.

Zhang Guang and Zhang Hong had already tried their best, especially since the defeated party was defeated first by his men. Naturally, Zhang Guang and Zhang Hong cannot be blamed for this.

Xihua County, Shaoling County, Lin County was defeated, and they immediately entered the second line of defense built by Huainan King Sima Yun: Linying, Xuchang and Xinji Lines.

Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, had already prepared the tug-zi technique.

The three cities of Linying, Xuchang, and Xinji were also heavily guarded, and the defenses were very tight.

The King of Qi had not been happy for long before he encountered another line of defense. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he was not too annoyed.

It was true that too many people died during the siege.

Of the 300,000 troops on the front line, those who died in the end and those who escaped were reduced to less than 150,000.

With half of the people dead, the pressure on food and grass will naturally be reduced.

Including the 100,000 people in King Qi's headquarters, the total number is only 250,000.

Although it seems that there are still many people, if we persist for another month, there will still be no problem with the food and grass.

The tree-lined Xuchang and the three new cities of Xinji became the military training city for the King of Qi.

and...

King Qi is also waiting for the opportunity.

Waiting for an opportunity to launch a major attack.

Over the past month, I have received some replies one after another.

Although many letters are missing, this recovered letter is the best news.

King Qi knew in his heart that he now needed to consume the emperor to the point where he was weak in Luoyang.

If the emperor of Luoyang was not weak, no matter whether it was the Huns, the Xianbei, the Qiang Di, the king of Hejian, or the king of Chengdu, they would not move.

Only when they feel that the emperor is weak and can be defeated, will they swarm up like jackals.

And he, King Qi, wanted to create the phenomenon that the emperor was already weak.

And war...

Most of all, it wastes people and money.

He doesn't have to care, because this world is not his yet.

However...

It is impossible for the emperor not to care.

Because this world belongs to him now.

One's own world is one's own wealth, how can the emperor not care?

Consumption.

When the number of soldiers on the front line becomes smaller and more elite, he will be able to hold on longer.

...

The fighting on the Yuzhou front was fierce, but it seemed that the outcome would be difficult to decide in a short while.

But war wastes people and money.

Although the King of Hejian was already rebellious, Sima Yu did not want to start a war on both sides. Instead of holding the King of Hejian Sima Yong accountable, he sent people to appease him.

certainly...

In the heart of Emperor Sima Yong, King Hejian was already a time bomb that must be removed.

The King of Hejian is now in Chang'an, so he is naturally not having a good time.

The main reason was that Zhang Fangnai was his most capable general. As a result, he was murdered by Marquis Guangyuan before he reached Hongnong. The 30,000 people he brought with him did not cause any trouble in Hedong County and Hongnong County.

, but was instigated by Marquis Guangyuan to rebel with a few words, and he directly asked a foreigner named Shi Le to take these 30,000 people to his land of Qin Yong to wreak havoc.

They took nearly 100,000 people hostage and fled.

During this period, he lost more than 10,000 troops.

This made the King of Hejian very angry and angry.

However...

Anger and anger are useless most of the time.

If anger and anger were useful, there wouldn't be those people who died angrily.

His general Zhang Fang is dead, and with the rebellion of 30,000 people, he has been plundering the land of Qin and Yong, and his vitality is now severely damaged.

Not only did he lose 30,000 servants, he also lost some of his elite troops. If he wanted to send troops, he had to secure the land of Qin and Yong.

otherwise...

If he sends troops one step ahead and one step back, his hometown may be destroyed.

In other words, even if he wants to send troops, it will take time.

This time is not short.

As for Liu Yuan, who was on the left side of the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, although he had made up his mind to participate in the battle between the Han people, he was not stupid. If he participated in this situation, I am afraid that the entire Xiongnu would be involved.

He is waiting for an opportunity to enter the market.

As perfect a time as possible.

Now...

Obviously this was not the perfect time.

As for the one who feels the most uncomfortable right now, after King Sima Lun of Zhao, there is Sima Ying, the current King of Chengdu.

Sima Ying is currently stationed in Hanoi, and was originally trusted by Emperor Sima Yu.

However, as time passed one by one, Sima Yu's trust in Chengdu King Sima Ying also dissipated little by little.

What turned into it was vigilance, worry, and the eagerness to take the King of Chengdu and his soldiers into his own hands.

That's why...

Not long after the Hejian King incident occurred, Chengdu King Sima Ying was summoned to Luoyang by Emperor Sima Yu.

It was said that he was entrusted with important matters, but he was just a servant. Although he could advise on important matters, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor just wanted to separate him from his subordinates.

However...

After all, the people led by the King of Chengdu were promoted by him. If Sima Yu wants to completely remove the influence of the King of Chengdu, it is obviously not something that can be done in a short time.

But the threat from Hanoi County was at least dissipated with the arrival of the King of Chengdu into Luo.

Now Sima Yu only has one enemy left for the time being.

King Qi!

He wanted to deal with the King of Qi in the shortest possible time, wipe out the King of Qi, then rest for a year or two, and then turn to deal with Li Te Li Xiong of Yizhou and the Huns who were currently making trouble in Bingzhou.

After dealing with these people, he could free up his hands to deal with the King of Hejian in the land of Qin and Yong.

After eliminating internal and external troubles, people like the Langya Wang family can also start to deal with it.

In just ten years, he could accomplish what Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had accomplished in his lifetime, and in another ten years, he could accomplish what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had accomplished in his lifetime.

In the time to come, he, Sima Yu, will become the emperor of the ages, second only to or even surpassing Qin Shihuang!

certainly...

The thoughts in your heart are good, and as long as you are alone, you can dream them.

The current situation is that Sima Yu's first step has already been frustrated.

That is to deal with King Qi in the shortest possible time.

If this was handed over to the King of Huainan, it would obviously be impossible to accomplish it.

Since the King of Huainan took charge of the battle against the King of Qi, not only has he not captured a piece of land, but he has lost Liang and Runan one after another. Now Yingchuan has lost three cities, and if they continue to lose it, I am afraid that the entire Yingchuan will be lost.

.

This defense of the city is not enough, and the King of Huainan must deal with the King of Qi.

It already seems unrealistic.

Marquis Guangyuan!

Now in this world, perhaps the only person in the world who can deal with King Qi is Marquis Guangyuan!

Sima Yu already had the intention to re-establish Marquis Guangyuan.

King of Huainan...

It looks like it won't work anymore.

only...

The Marquis of Guangyuan is working on the farm below, but it has not yielded any results. If the Marquis of Guangyuan is recalled in a hurry, it will be bad if something goes wrong in the farming matter.

Due to the frontline fighting, there is not much food and grass left in Luoyang now. Without the food and grass that Marquis Guangyuan obtained from farming in various counties in Sili, I am afraid that the subsequent battles will not be able to be fought.

When the two armies are fighting, food and grass go first. If the food and grass are not enough, how can we fight?

Therefore, even if Sima Yu was impatient, he had to wait.

He is waiting for the King of Huainan to lose the entire Yingchuan. When the time comes, he will recall the King of Huainan and re-appoint the Marquis of Guangyuan. I am afraid that no one in the government or the public will dare to say anything.

If there are still people who dare to say anything at this time, Sima Yu doesn't mind letting his entire family move to Jiaozhou.

.......

In the palace of King Zhao of Luoyang.

King Zhao Sima Lun is now imprisoned in King Zhao's Mansion in Luoyang, which makes it difficult for him to move even an inch.

But after all, he had a noble status. Although he had some charges, the charges were not serious enough to kill him. Although his freedom was gone, King Sima Lun of Zhao enjoyed all the things he should enjoy while pretending to be crazy.

Not to mention anything else, his group of wives and concubines, Meiji, basically got pregnant with everything they should have in just a few months.

Once this person becomes bored, there are fewer things to do to pass the time.

For Sima Lun, apart from Fu San, there are only women's matters.

"Your Majesty, the King of Huainan on the front line of Yuzhou has lost, and the King of Qi is pressing forward step by step. Moreover, the Huns in Bingzhou and the King of Hejian in the land of Qin and Yong have all taken action."

Sima Lun looks sloppy, but his eyes are bright and lively.

"If the emperor of Luoyang loses, I'm afraid things will look better. Then I will be able to fish in troubled waters. For example, now that I am in Luoyang, there is really no other way out except pretending to be crazy."

but...

I'm afraid that boy, the King of Chengdu, will be treated like this King soon, right?

I'm pretty smart, and I'm pretty young, so I can be forgiven for pretending to be crazy.

But what method do you, Chengdu Wang Sima Ying, think of to use to escape the disaster?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have to do something, such as contacting King Qi. When King Qi arrives in Luoyang in the future, Your Majesty can make a legitimate comeback."

King Zhao Sima Lun shook his head gently.

He is very sober now.

"Whether King Qi can succeed is still unknown. If we contact King Qi now, maybe King Qi will borrow a knife to kill someone."

His relationship with King Qi was not very good.

If King Qi becomes powerful, Zhao Wanglun will obviously be his competitor.

It was probably a normal thing for King Qi to take advantage of the lack of a competitor.
