Chapter 256 Breakthrough 2

Pan Tao, with a snow-covered body, attached it to Sima Yue's ear, told him a news that was so bad that it could not be worse.

He was also Sima Yue's confidant, and at that time he said that there were three talents in Yue Mansion: Pan Tao, Liu Yu, and Pei Miaoqing's talent. He was able to rank among the top three talents, which shows his ability. After defeating Sima Ying and Sima Yong, becoming the actual supreme ruler of the Western Jin Dynasty, as Sima Yue's confidant, his status naturally rose and was highly valued, and he became the Yin of Henan.

But like most people in this era, after he took power, what he thought about was not how to use the power in his hands to do something practical and restore a ray of vitality to this devastated country. Instead, he rejected strangers, formed cliques for personal gain, and held power tightly in his hands, for fear of being divided by others. Sima Yue and Gou Xi had a good relationship, and even sent a handful, but he and Liu Wang and others falsely accused him, framed and slandered him, and finally got out of his heart. Gou Xi once angrily wrote to Sima Yue and asked him to kill Pan Tao and Liu Wang, these bastards, otherwise they would not be able to cooperate. Sima Yue was reluctant to move these confidants and did not agree, which led to the relationship between the two sides getting worse and worse, and even to the point of fighting.

However, this guy was quite loyal to Sima Yue. After learning that Gou Xi led his army to Yingchuan, he felt something was wrong. He left the work at hand and led a small team of people out of the city and rushed all the way to Mianchi. If it weren't for him, Sima Yue wouldn't know when he would know the terrible crisis brewing in Luoyang City. By the time he realized it, the daylily would be cold!

Sima Yue's whole face turned pale, and his pair of squinted habitually gave people a feeling of not knowing what this guy was calculating again. He stared at the boss, full of fear and anger: "I am fighting hard with the barbarians in Mianchi, but they secretly called Gou Xi, the mad dog, to cut off my retreat. Zhuzi... How dare you do this!"

Pan Tao was so shocked that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Stop the anger of the Taiwei, stop the anger of the Taiwei!"

Sima Yue threw the jade Ruyi out of his hand and smashed it to pieces. If Li Rui was present, he would definitely be heartbroken and could not breathe. This is a rare treasure. It is not a problem to buy a few small goals in the 21st century! Sima Yue roared like thunder: "Sima Xiaoer, old sheep, you are all too bullying! I see the enemy facing you and don't want to break up with you, so you think I dare not touch you, right? It's so hateful!"

Wang Yan was quite calm and asked Pan Tao: "What happened to the Third Battalion of the Imperial Army when you left the city?"

Pan Tao said: "I still hold my troops."

Wang Yan asked again: "Where are the father and son of the Beigong family? What are their reactions?"

Pan Tao said: "Beigong Chun is still staying in Shouyang Mountain to guard the tomb, but I heard that he had recently accepted an apprentice, supervising hard martial arts and studying military books day and night, and never took a step down to Shouyang Mountain. Beigong Jing went to Shouyang Mountain to visit Beigong Chun, but only stayed for one night. The next day, he hurried back to Yiyang Camp and asked the troops of Yiyang Camp to prepare for war... By the way, he also went to Luoyang to visit Yang Laopin. He didn't know what he had talked about, but after coming out of Yang Mansion, he was bleeding and unconscious. The lower official had not yet woken up when he left Luoyang."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "It seems that the father and son of the Beigong family do not agree with the emperor's actions very much. Otherwise, Beigong Chun would not continue to stay on Shouyang Mountain, and Beigong Jing would not have vomited blood and fell into a coma as soon as she left Yang Mansion."

This is barely good news. Sima Yue is most afraid of not the puppet-like emperor and Yang Chen, the old fox, but the father and son of the Beigong family. Beigong Chun is invincible, and Beigong Jing is a versatile civil and military talent. Whether in the Hu people or in the hearts of the Western Jin army and the people, he is a god of war. If he wants to fight with the father and son, his imperial guards will collapse halfway before he can raise morale. Both the father and son do not agree that the emperor summons Gou Xi into Luoyang at this critical moment and stabs himself in the back. Things will be much easier. As long as he moves fast enough, he still has hope of turning the tables.

Without any hesitation, Sima Yue directly ordered: "Let Qian Duan lead the garrison to cut off the rear, Fu Ning leads the Hu cavalry to open the road, and the entire army burns the baggage and retreat immediately!"

Wang Yan added: "The Imperial Guard will go first!"

Sima Yue nodded in agreement.

The order to withdraw the troops was quickly conveyed, and without any surprise, caused panic among the entire army. Everyone found it unbelievable. The Grand Marshal vowed yesterday to threaten to fight the Hu people in Mianchi. Why did he withdraw his troops today? What exactly happened? Some well-informed people released news from the army: "The emperor took advantage of our hard battle in front of us and issued a secret edict to summon the Duke of Dongping County to lead the army into the capital, to cut off our retreat and kill all our whole family. Let's run away quickly!" Those who prefer alarmist and even had a clear idea to declare: "The Duke of Dongping County is only one day away from Luoyang. If we don't go back to Luoyang, we will die!" These half-true and half-false rumors are flying all over the sky, causing the army to be panic, and everyone is in danger. They are fighting to burn their baggage and camps to retreat to Luoyang. For a time, the order is in chaos!

General Qian Duan led thousands of heavy cavalry to break the rear. Seeing the smoke rolling over ten miles of camps, the flames soared into the sky, and the 70,000 troops threw away all their supplies and ran towards Luoyang. He was very sad and angry and sighed: "The battle situation finally made a turn for a while, and now it's all over again! For this counterattack, the army has emptied Luoyang's grain warehouse and armory. These supplies are the last reserves in Luoyang, but they were not used, so they were set fire to him by himself. In this way, what's the face we have to live? It's better to die here!"

However, it seems not easy to die. The Hu army had no intention of taking the opportunity to attack. They just watched the Jin army retreat in a nearly joking manner. This was even more heartbroken than taking the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Qian Duan felt ache in his heart, and almost vomited blood like Beigong Jing!

Liu Cong looked at the thick smoke and fires pouring into the sky, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Excellent, wonderful! This dog bites the dog, is really wonderful!"

Zhu Dan smiled and said, "It hasn't been officially bitten yet. When this old Sima thief returns to Luoyang and officially bites Gou Xi's mad dog, the scene will be even more exciting!"

Liu Cong said, "I can't wait!" He shouted at the Jin army camp: "I won't kill you, don't worry, get out of here, get back to Luoyang to perform well! I am looking forward to your performance!"

The generals of the Huns and Han countries laughed loudly.

The Jin army, who was responsible for the rear-end, could not hear what Liu Cong was saying, but they could hear the rampant laughter of the Hu people clearly. The loud laughter pierced the sharp knife into their hearts. Everyone lowered their heads, just trying to hide their faces in their crotch!

In all military operations, retreating is undoubtedly the most difficult time when it is stalemate with a strong enemy. If you are not careful, retreat will turn into defeat. This is undoubtedly the case with the current Jin army. In front of it, there are more than 100,000 Hu people staring at it, and behind Tu Bogou Xi, who is approaching Luoyang, the morale of the army has reached its extreme chaos. Sima Yue and Wang Yan are not good at military command, and there are no talents under their command who are good at this field can help. They just hurriedly ordered the army to retreat, and the imperial guards went first, so they used the Hu cavalry to open the way, and ran away in a hurry, and did not even confirm a retreat for each unit.

It's a hell of this! Sima Yue's army is very complex, with elite imperial guards, beggars, various royal troops, and private soldiers from various families. There are many divisions, even when fighting a battle with the wind, it is not easy to mobilize. Now that the disaster is coming, everyone wants to escape back to Luoyang to see his wife, children, and young people, and they can't command it! After Sima Yue took the imperial guards away, various divisions rushed to Luoyang one after another. For a while, the road was blocked, and many casualties were injured. Some divisions fled to seize the road and even waved their butcher swords to the robes...

It's messy, it's already so messy!

Fortunately, the Hu people were deliberately watching the show and did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. Otherwise, the army would have been wiped out without going out twenty miles. But even so, they were on the verge of collapse!

Sima Yue didn't care about the life or death of the miscellaneous cards behind him. He led the imperial guards to run wildly, throwing the miscellaneous cards far away, and rushing towards Yiyang. Fortunately, the imperial guards were well-trained and barely maintaining order, so he ran relatively fast. He had already arrived near Tiemen Pass in the evening that day.

General Fu stared at the city wall of the iron gate and the stolen Gu gradually became clear in front of him, and said to Sima Yue with some fatigue: "Taiwei, our army has been running for more than fifty miles within a few hours. It is already deserted and there are many soldiers behind. Should we camp and rest in Tiemen Pass first and restore our physical strength, and at the same time, let the soldiers who are behind follow?"

Sima Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Can I stop and wait for the soldiers who fell behind. Will that mad dog Gou Xi stop and wait for me?"

Fu Ning plucked up his courage and said, "Dongping County Duke walked thousands of miles against the wind and snow, and marched urgently all the way. Even if they arrived at Luoyang one step ahead of us, they were already exhausted and exhausted. There are still 20,000 imperial guards in Luoyang City, waiting for their hard work. Even if the Duke of Dongping County is a famous general in the world, he may not be able to take Luoyang within one or two days..."

Wang Yan interrupted him: "General Fu, have you forgotten that there is still the emperor in Luoyang City?"

Fu Ning was speechless...

During the Gaopingling Incident, the Sima family relied on only three thousand dead soldiers, and there were tens of thousands of imperial guards in Luoyang City. Even if the old turtle was a famous general who could compete with Prime Minister Zhuge, he would be chopped into meat sauce by these tens of thousands of imperial guards. However, the Gaopingling Incident was successful. The tens of thousands of elite imperial guards did not make any strong resistance in the end. They basically stopped moving and watched the Sima family exchange the Cao family's house book. Why? The reason is very

Simple: First, Cao Shuang and his brothers went out, and there was no one in the imperial guards, so they could not be mobilized at all. What is the difference between an unmobilized army and not existing? Second, Sima Yi had the support of Empress Dowager Guo. After Cao Shuang and his younger emperor went out for leisure, Empress Dowager Guo actually became the person in the Luoyang Forbidden Palace. With her speaking, who dared to fight against that old turtle? Are you not afraid of turning around and becoming the one who is following the crime?

Similarly, although there are still 20,000 imperial guards in Luoyang City at this time, there are no leaders in the crowd. Once Gou Xi's troops are at the city and the emperor raises his arms and calls out, the 20,000 imperial guards will be a high probability of a rebellion!

No one dares to take such a risk, and he can't afford it!
