The news of Marquis Guangyuan's return to Luo was unknown, but it spread quickly like a gust of wind.

The people of Luoyang knew the reputation of Marquis Guangyuan, but they were not very excited about Marquis Guangyuan's return to Luo.

In their view, there is no difference between Marquis Guangyuan and other important figures, and their tasks are the same no matter who comes to Luoyang.

That is living.

Only the family members of Marquis Guangyuan, those who had been favored by Marquis Guangyuan before, or those with interests related to Wang Sheng, would care about the news that Marquis Guangyuan returned to Luo.

This is how people are, you are alive only if your image can emerge in the minds of others.

Otherwise, even if you are alive, you have nothing to do with this world. In fact, there is not much difference from death.

certainly...

Some people, even if they die, are still alive as long as they can always live in people's hearts.

This is a lifelong pursuit of scholars, but there are very few people who can reach this level.

Wang Sheng naturally cannot reach such heights now.

At most, he has some talent and a reputation as a capable minister, but he still has a long way to go before he can live in people's hearts.

If Wang Sheng really lives in the hearts of these people, I am afraid that Emperor Sima Yu will have other thoughts in his heart.

"Junhou, Luoyang is ahead."

Wang Sheng had passed Luoyang Station before. The Xiongcheng in front of him did not need to be said by his subordinates. He opened the curtains and saw that this behemoth Xiongcheng. In today's world, other than Luoyang, what else could it be?

Which city?

"Zhang Tao, you go into the city first and arrange the matters in the mansion for me. Also, inform the cronies in the city and let them get ready. I will summon them in the next few days."

Zhang Tao was riding beside the carriage in Wangsheng County. Hearing these words from Wang Sheng, Zhang Tao nodded slightly.

"I'll make arrangements here."

"Just go."

Seeing Zhang Tao's figure entering the city ahead of him, Wang Sheng's expression did not change much.

When he entered the city, he must first go to the palace.

Whether he can return home today is still unknown.

The chariot sped slowly towards the city gate, and at the gate, people from the palace were already waiting.

The officer also stepped out of the car after hearing this.

Along the way, Wang Sheng treated him with great courtesy. Of course, in addition to the courtesy, he was also given many benefits, including gold, silver, jewelry, land deeds and shops...

Those are all real.

After Wang Sheng went out to farm, he used the name of farming to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but he got a lot of local wealthy people. These people usually live in fish and meat towns, and it goes without saying how fat they are. Wang Sheng got people from several counties.

In addition, he had some small inventions and made a lot of money, which he did not lack at all.

He would definitely spare no effort in bribing people close to the emperor, such as high officials.

"Your Majesty, I will come."

Wang Sheng got down from the chariot without any bodyguards. He got into the chariot of the great eunuch's hero and drove towards the palace with the eunuch.

Luoyang seemed to have remained unchanged during the few months he left. The buildings at the gate of the city were still full of wine shops and water shops, with people coming and going, making it very lively.

But there are also differences. The scent of Hu cakes in the city has dissipated a lot, and some ragged people have begun to appear in the city.

It is these people who have been exploited after years of fighting at the front.

After all, wool still comes from sheep.

Driving through Zhuque Avenue, at the end is the gate of the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace has changed less than Luoyang City, if we only look at it on the surface.

But after getting off the palace chariot and walking inside, Wang Sheng still felt the difference very keenly.

The palace was a little flustered before, but now it is a little calm. However, this calm is not peaceful at all. There is no relaxed look on the faces of the palace people coming and going.

After entering the palace city, Wang Sheng discovered that the changes in the palace were actually much greater than those in Luoyang.

But on the surface, the palace seems almost unchanged.

But in the palace, it was completely different from what it had been a few months ago.

It seems that Tai Chi Hall has not been renovated for a while. Not far from Tai Chi Hall, an additional building has been built, which looks like a high platform.

"Internal officer...could that be climbing to the rooftop?"

Emperor Sima Yu had great ambitions and built a high platform and pavilion next to Taiji Hall in order to spy on the secrets of heaven.

This is the palace's rhetoric to outsiders.

Actually...

Both the high official and Sima Yu knew the usefulness of the rooftop platform.

It's just Sima Yu's Bronze Bird Tower.

Hundreds of beauties were collected inside for Sima Yu's lewd use.

The chief minister was well aware of this matter, but of course, he certainly could not say this.

"This is for His Majesty to go to the rooftop to pray for the people and the soldiers on the front line."

If people outside knew the actual function of this rooftop platform, they would probably have mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time. Sir, we'd better hurry up."

"That's fine."

Wang Sheng and the chief minister sped up, and soon they were outside the side hall of Taiji Hall. The chief minister went in first to report, and then he came out.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty wants to see you, please come quickly."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly, adjusted his clothes, and walked slowly inside.

When he entered the palace, he lowered his head and did not look at Sima Yu's face or eyes.

This shows respect.

Now, he still has to rely on the big tree Sima Yu, so he must naturally make the gesture he needs to do.

"My lord, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"My dear, please get up."

Sima Yu's voice came from above the main hall. Compared with a few months ago, Sima Yu's voice was not as clear as before. Instead, it was a bit muddy and frivolous.

This kind of frivolity means floating on the surface.

The sound floats on the surface, that is the body, which is not as strong as before.

But thinking about it, if Sima Yu could enjoy this beauty on the rooftop alone, he might not be able to bear it.

"My dear, you have been working hard for me while you are out here. You have been working hard for me. The autumn harvest is approaching and I really cannot summon you back. However, the battle situation ahead has become bleak. The King of Huainan and the King of Qi are facing each other. Now the entire Yuzhou has been lost. Now Xingyang

It has already become the front line. If Xingyang is lost again, Luoyang will have no barrier to the King of Qi. In addition, the King of Qi not only rebelled on his own, he also colluded with the clan king and foreigners in order to

Subvert my rule and my throne."

In Sima Yu's heart, Wang Sheng was one of his own, so he didn't hide it when he spoke, but directly expressed his thoughts.

"When you were in Hongnong, you did a very good job. Not only did you thwart the conspiracy of the King of Hejian, but you also used a counter-intuitive plan to confuse the water of Qin Yong where the King of Hejian was, so that he had no energy to participate in the activities.

Things in this world."

When Wang Sheng heard about the King of Hejian, he raised his head slightly and said to Sima Yu: "This kind of thing is also the duty of a minister and is not worthy of your majesty's praise."

Sima Yu took a deep look at Wang Sheng and said: "This kind of thing naturally deserves praise. Under my hands, who else can do such a thing except you?"

Speaking of this, Sima Yu still felt that the talents under his command were really not enough.

Although he has already mobilized a large number of talents.

However, talents are not like the people in this world, who kill one crop after another and grow again.

Even so, the growth rate is very slow.

He doesn't use the people under the Langya Wang family, at least he doesn't regard them as confidants, and he doesn't use the people under Zhang Hua.

Although he was the most respected person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and scholars were vying for their lives, these talents were still not enough, far from enough, for Sima Yu.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I've summoned you here this time. I'm afraid the chief minister talked to you a little on the way. What were your thoughts on the way?"

Any thoughts along the way?

Wang Sheng has actually been thinking about this idea for several months.

He was already thinking about it when he went to Hongnong to farm.

After thinking about it for several months, although the situation has changed, the method can still be used with slight modifications.

"If your majesty wants me to take charge of the overall situation and go to Xingyang to resist the attack of King Qi, in my opinion, it will be a bit difficult. King Qi's morale is now strong, but the morale of our army is not good. Moreover, King Qi is powerful, like Your Majesty

The foreigners mentioned must have taken action. In Xingyang, we may have to deal with not only King Qi and the clan kings who followed King Qi, but also foreigners, such as the Huns who made trouble in Wei County before.

people."

Sima Yu was very happy to see Wang Sheng's thoughts flowing smoothly.

He understood that he knew the Marquis of Guangyuan in front of him thoroughly.

As long as Marquis Guangyuan is willing to talk about something, it proves that he has a solution.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"After many days of fighting and occupying Yingchuan, the King of Qi has to rest and recuperate. In addition, he will solve the problem of food and grass. He will definitely not use troops within a month, especially now during the autumn harvest."

Sima Yu listened to Wang Sheng's words and nodded slightly, but felt that something was wrong.

"Aiqing is also working in Xingyang. During the autumn harvest, won't it be easier for the King of Qi to invade? Harvest grain?"

"The places where grain and grass are cultivated are all behind Xingyang City. If the King of Qi wants to seize the harvest, he must first capture Xingyang City. However, capturing Xingyang City is probably not a simple matter. It is impossible for the King of Qi to do it for the grain and grass of Xingyang County.

Then he came to invade. I am afraid that he needs people to harvest the grain in Runan State of Liang State."

Wang Sheng's words have made the matter very clear.

Although Xingyang County has food, it is very difficult for the King of Qi to obtain the food from Xingyang County.

He has food behind him to harvest, and he will not do anything at the expense of others.

"If you say this, I will understand. If King Qi doesn't take action, we should take action first?"

"You have to take action, but you can't take action against King Qi."

Sima Yu frowned and asked: "Why is this? If we can drive the King of Qi out of Yingchuan before the autumn harvest, and even Runan and Liang, they will not be able to fight against my army because they have no food for the autumn harvest.

"

The truth is this.

However, the reality is very cruel.

"Now our army is low in momentum, and its numbers are not as good as those of King Qi. Even if it is more elite, its combat effectiveness is not as good as King Qi's. Under such circumstances, if we face King Qi, we will probably not be his opponent."

Under the leadership of the King of Huainan, first the Runan Kingdom was lost, and then the Liang Kingdom Yingchuan was lost. Now if these soldiers still have morale in their hearts, they are all veterans.

As for the new soldiers, their legs will probably start to weaken after seeing King Qi's army.

"Then...how are you going to do that?"

Sima Yu thought about it and found that this was also true.

King Huainan now wants to hand over this mess to Marquis Guangyuan. Even if Marquis Guangyuan is stronger than King Huainan, he may not be able to reverse the situation in one fell swoop.

Still need to do it step by step.

"The King of Qi has contact with the foreign people in Bingzhou. I am afraid that these Huns from Bingzhou will harass Wei County in the near future and invade Xingyang. From my opinion, it seems that they must have worked with the governor of Bingzhou to encircle and suppress the Huns in Bingzhou first to determine the rear.

Safety, and besides...defeating these Huns can also improve the morale of our army a lot."

Winning a game is the best way to boost morale.

It is definitely easier for the Huns to win than the King of Qi.

Moreover, he was assisted by Liu Kunxiang, the governor of Bingzhou.

"We are dealing with the Huns. If King Qi sees that Xingyang is empty, won't he send troops?"

"The 100,000-strong garrison in Xingyang will not move. I have previously recruited 20,000 garrison troops in Wei County and Hongnong County in Xingyang County. I will use these 20,000 garrison troops to deal with the Huns."

The field army was certainly not elite, and neither were the Huns.

But at least the Huns have been in the army for many years. This army has only been established for a few months. How can such a army be a match for the Huns?

"But it's a bit risky. If the Huns haven't fought, the morale will probably be even lower. Moreover, the Huns from the five tribes in Bingzhou have not directly stated that I will directly send troops to encircle and suppress them. Even if they don't resist, I'm afraid they will have to.

Already."

Wang Sheng understood what Sima Yu meant.

However, when the Huns were in Bingzhou, they sent troops to Wei County quickly. Once Wei County was captured, they would be attacked from both sides.

It is already very difficult to deal with the King of Qi. If he has to deal with the Huns, no matter how powerful the King is, the situation will probably be ugly.

Wang Sheng would naturally not let this situation arise.

"Your Majesty... Although Liu Yuan admires my Chinese clothes, what he admires in his heart is the Liu family and the Han family, not our Jin Dynasty. This time the King of Qi is in rebellion, Wei County has already had conflicts with the Huns.

, the Huns did not have to rebel, but they had already rebelled."

After hearing this, Emperor Sima Yu also knew what attitude he should express.

"Forget it, I will leave all the frontline matters in your hands."

Although he is the emperor, he is not proficient in fighting after all.

Since the Marquis of Guangyuan has been summoned, Sima Yu naturally does not doubt the people he employs and the others he does not use.

All matters on the front line should be left to Marquis Guangyuan. As the emperor, he should not be constrained from behind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
