Bei Gongjing was completely stunned: "Forty thousand... forbidden troops!?"

Sima Yue nodded: "Yes."

Bei Gongjing said: "Lieutenant, if you take these 40,000 forbidden troops away, Luoyang will become an empty city!"

The Forbidden Army of the Western Jin Dynasty suffered heavy losses in the internal and external wars in the past ten years. The number of people has changed more than once. How many people there are still there has always been a mystery. Bei Gongjing estimates that the current Forbidden Army should have about 60,000 people. This is

Calculated based on the troops used by Sima Yue in his many military operations. The imperial army in the hands of the emperor and the forces loyal to the emperor included Yueqi, Changshui, and Shesheng battalions, with more than 8,000 people, while Sima Yue held the Zhongba

, Tunqi, Huqi, Jinu, Jishe, Xiongqu, Qiandong, Yili, Huben, Ji Fei and other troops combined should be no less than 50,000 people. When Sima Yue launched a major counterattack in Yiyang and Xin'an

A total of 27,000 forbidden troops were mobilized, and the forbidden troops in the Suwei Palace had to be about 10,000 people, and the forbidden troops controlling Luoyang City also needed to be about 10,000 people. Calculating from these data, Sima Yue should have 50,000 forbidden troops in his hands.

People around.

Now that he wants to take away 40,000 people, the entire city of Luoyang will be empty! The main force of the Forbidden Army has been taken away. What will the court do to deal with the waves of attacks from the west? Are you kidding me?

Sima Yue said coldly: "Whether Luoyang becomes an empty city, what does it have to do with me?"

Bei Gongjing said: "Captain Taiwei, now that the barbarians are becoming more and more powerful, Luoyang is in danger. It is only thanks to the bloody battles of the imperial army that it has been able to survive until now! If you take away these 40,000 imperial troops, Luoyang's army will be drained."

, if the Hu people attack again, Luoyang will be in danger!"

Sima Yue said coldly: "What does it have to do with me? Young General, I am fighting a bloody battle with the barbarians in Mianchi. The king and ministers of Luoyang actually stabbed me in the back and wanted to kill me. If something like this happened, will the young general think that I am here?"

Can you still stay in Luoyang City? If I don’t leave, I will die in the hands of the emperor sooner or later!"

Bei Gongjing is understandable. After all, the emperor stabbed him in the back. Not to mention Sima Yue, the person involved, even he, the bystander, saw it shocking. There are two kinds of things like this, and Sima Yue and the emperor are already in power.

Like fire and water, unless he takes the initiative to kill the emperor, the emperor will definitely continue to stab him in the back until he is stabbed to death. And if Sima Yue kills the king at this juncture, he will be infamy for thousands of years, and the Jin Dynasty will be completely finished.

At this time, there is still internal fighting. Who else is willing to sacrifice his life for such a court? Who else is willing to fight bloody battles for such a Sima family? I guess they all wish it would be over soon, right?

It became the best choice for Sima Yue to run away.

But he wants to take away the main force of the Forbidden Army and drain away the most elite military force in Luoyang City!

Bei Gongjing almost begged and said: "Lieutenant, now the Jin Dynasty has almost no soldiers to fight. It depends on these tens of thousands of forbidden troops to ensure that Luoyang is not lost. If you take away all the forbidden troops, Luoyang will be finished! Please also

The Lieutenant puts the country first, think calmly and carefully, and don’t do anything that will hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!"

Sima Yue said: "I have made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me any more, Major General. I will leave you the foreign troops and the Wuhuan cavalry left by Bo Sheng. This is the maximum I can do."

I gave in. The Major General has recruited surrenders and rebels during this period, plus the large and small forces who have come to defect on their own initiative. With the addition of these two troops, the total force on hand is probably more than 20,000. I think, with the Major General’s ability,

, with these 20,000 battle-hardened veterans at our disposal, we will definitely be able to accomplish something great."

Bei Gongjing was extremely anxious: "Captain..."

Sima Yue interrupted: "Okay, I have been saying this for a long time. Major General, please stop trying to persuade me, so as not to upset me and bring back the foreign troops and Bo Sheng's remaining troops!"

Bei Gongjing had no choice but to shut up.

Sima Yue stretched out: "By the way, Major General, it's rare that you have free time today. Why don't you accompany me to Shouyang Mountain to meet your father? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Bei Gongjing instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she agreed.

So he rode a horse and Sima Yue sat in a sedan chair. Both of them left the city with worries and went up to Shouyang Mountain.

There was a heavy snowfall in Shouyang Mountain last night, and the whole mountain was covered with a thick layer of silver. The snow on the top of the mountain reflected the sun, and the trees hung long icicles. It was so beautiful. Bei Gongjun was sitting lazily.

In the forest covered with silver makeup, he slowly drank the tea brewed by Li Rui himself and watched Li Rui practice his sword, leisurely and contentedly.

After being cut several times by that cheating sword, that kid Li Rui finally mastered some skills in playing with the sword and practiced it decently, which made Bei Gongchun quite satisfied. Of course, Li Rui is filial.

He was even more satisfied with the fragrant tea and snacks, especially the tea. The tea is made by just soaking the leaves in boiling spring water. It is simple and does not need to add a lot of condiments, ingredients, etc., and it is delicious after drinking.

So infinite that he seriously doubted that the water he drank before was the smelly water from the ditch.

Zhuge Hui sat next to him, enjoying the tea and snacks with her eyes narrowed. Li Rui's method of making tea opened her eyes. It turns out that only a stream of clear spring water is needed to make tea.

So what was she trying to do by adding so many things to it?

Just when she picked up a small snack again and was about to put it into her mouth, several black hawk swordsmen hugged an old and a young man, climbed up the snowy steps, and appeared in her field of vision. The old man

The young man is dressed in a purple robe and looks very noble, and there is an air of arrogance in his every move. He is not an easy person to get along with at first glance. The young man is dressed in a military uniform, wearing leather armor and a red cloak, and he looks very heroic.

He was even more handsome and made countless girls just want to scream and fall into his arms. Zhuge Hui showed a look of surprise, dropped his heart and jumped out like a cheerful sparrow, rushing towards the handsome guy!

As a result, he didn't look at the road while he was walking. He stepped on a piece of ice and slipped hard. He fell forward involuntarily and was about to fall. He took a big mouthful of snow. Fortunately, Bei Gongjing had quick eyes and quick hands.

He rushed forward to support her, and said reproachfully: "You are such a big person, why are you still as frizzy as when you were a child, and don't look at the road when you walk?"

Zhuge Hui hugged him with a smile as bright as a flower: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm so happy!"

Bei Gongjing said angrily: "You don't have to look at the road if you are happy? You fell to the ground and flattened your nose. Let's see if you can still be happy!"

Zhuge Hui stuck out her tongue at him, turned to Bei Gongchun and shouted: "Dad, eldest...eldest brother is here to see you!"

Bei Gongchun said lazily: "I saw it!"

Li Rui, who was exhausted by the heavy sword, took the opportunity to stop and greeted Bei Gongjing with a smile: "Major General, why are you free to come here today?"

Bei Gongjing said: "I have nothing to do today, so I will accompany the lieutenant here to see you." Her eyes fell on the wounds on Li Rui's body: "What's going on? I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you have so many injuries?"

Zhuge Hui pursed his lips and smiled: "He accidentally cut himself when he was practicing his sword."

Bei Gongjing's brows suddenly wrinkled: "You've killed several people on the battlefield, and you're still going to injure yourself while practicing sword practice?"

Li Rui blushed: "It's mainly because of this sword..."

Bei Gongjing immediately grasped the key point, swung his sword a few times, and suddenly understood everything, and shouted at Bei Gongchun: "You use this broken sword to trick people again! I will send him to you

This is for you to teach him martial arts, not for you to toy with him!"

Li Rui was immediately startled... My dear, I've known Bei Gongjing for so long, but this is the first time I've seen him get so angry! Before he could speak, Bei Gongchun yawned and answered: "

This kid does everything half-heartedly, including practicing swordsmanship! If he is taught according to the old method, God knows when he will be able to learn one and a half moves. I was forced to have no choice but to make such a mess.

The purpose of giving him the sword is to let him know that he must concentrate when practicing the sword, otherwise he will be asking for trouble!"

Li Rui forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Thank you!"

Bei Gongchun nodded confidently: "You're welcome, just make me some more good dishes later."

Li Rui: "..."

This is the first time I have met such a shameless person!

Sima Yue has been left aside, but he is not angry. He just walks to sit in front of Bei Gongchun and points to Li Rui: "The new disciple?"

Bei Gongchun looked disgusted: "With his qualifications, how can he be qualified to be my apprentice? If Jing'er hadn't repeatedly asked, I would have thrown him down the mountain and kicked him as far as he could.

!I have led so many apprentices, I have seen stupid ones, but I have never seen such stupid ones!"

Sima Yue is still somewhat impressed by Li Rui: "I am still somewhat impressed by this young man. He cooperated with his son in the Queyue Formation in the battle of Yiyang and defeated Hu Yanyan, and then took the lead in the battle of Tiemenguan.

, he is a rare talent among the younger generation to defeat Shi Le... I really envy you, Bei Gongchun, for being able to easily pick up a young man with such outstanding achievements as your apprentice!"

Bei Gongchun said: "He can't be said to be excellent, he can only be said to be just okay." He took a tea cup and poured a cup of tea for Sima Yue and pushed it in front of him.

What good thing can I bring to greet the Taiwei? I only have a cup of crude tea. Do you like to drink it?"

Sima Yue smiled bitterly: "Your mouth is still as bad as ever!"

He picked up the tea and took a sip. The bitter taste made him frown at first, but then he slowly relaxed his frown and said, "No seasonings are added, only hot water is used to brew it.

It's bitter in the mouth and sweet after a while. This way of making tea is quite unique. I don't think you, a rough man like you, can enjoy it. You can just stay under the forest and spring, drink tea, practice swordsmanship, hunt and teach apprentices, and live your life.

It’s more comfortable than me.”

Bei Gongchun stretched out: "It's indeed much more pleasant than staying in that cesspool in Luoyang."
