Chapter 274 Confrontation Consumption

The military envoy said: "Yesterday morning, on the eve of the breaking of Luoyang City, Major General Beigong commanded nearly 10,000 troops to protect tens of thousands of civilians to break through, and was surrounded by the captives. General Beigong commanded two thousand iron cavalry to charge forward. General Huwei personally led a thousand Wuhuan cavalry to rush towards the Hulu General's flag, shocked Liu Cong and rescued the surrounded military and civilians. After a hard battle, tens of thousands of military and civilians were successfully transferred to the new city..."

Jia You breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay! I knew that General Beigong and General Huwei were reliable!"

Sima Fan's mood was a bit complicated. He had won many victories during this period, and he was really a little arrogant. He thought he was very amazing. However, compared with Li Rui's battle record of leading a thousand cavalry into the middle of tens of thousands of enemy troops, scaring away the emperor of the Huns and Han Dynasty, and almost cutting off the opponent's commanding flag, his victory was nothing! Yes, he still had to continue to make that guy laugh at him, and he couldn't make him say anything.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is the emperor? Did you escape?"

The military envoy was very honest: "The emperor disappeared on the eve of the breakout. It is said that he sneaked out of the palace at night. He was missing. Major General Beigong only found the prince and escaped with his highness!"

Sima Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps because he was Sima Yue's camp and the emperor had never given him a good look, he didn't have much affection for the emperor, especially in the winter of last year, the act of attracting Gou Xi into Luoyang to take advantage of the major counterattack of the imperial guards, which made him feel extremely. He realized that the emperor was also a selfish and self-interested master who only cares about his own interests and does not care about the life and death of the country. Such people can only share hardships and cannot be rich and noble. However, the prince, Sima Fan has met several times. This child is not old, but he is humble and polite, smart and studious, and has not yet become a crooked, and he is saved. It is certainly a fatal disaster for the emperor to rescue him, but it is a blessing that the prince will be saved. If the emperor is gone, let the prince ascend the throne. If the father has no son, it is natural. We lack everything in the Great Jin Dynasty, but we are afraid of being frightened!

The military envoy then sent a very bad news: "Major General Beigong has been fighting with injuries. Before he arrived in Xincheng, he developed a high fever and was unconscious. Now tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are besieged in Xincheng, and the food is only enough for three or two days to eat, which is as dangerous as a pile of eggs!"

Sima Fanxin was nervous: "Is the situation so critical?"

The military envoy said: "General Beigong planned to rest in Xincheng for two days and then break through to Liang County. He hopes that Prince, you can send troops to Liang County to support him. It is best to bring more food. They need food very much!"

Sima Fan calmed down and said, "I know, so I will start preparing." He turned his head and called someone, saying, "Take him down and arrange a good place for him to rest."

The military envoy was taken down.

Sima Fan said to Jia You again: "You should immediately bring a team of people to Liang County to prepare to pick up the general and the others... Remember to prepare more food and grass, they have no food and grass now!"

Jia You asked: "I'm leaving, what should you do?"

Sima Fan said: "I'm staring at Shi Le here! This guy is too sinister and cunning. I'm not relieved if I don't stare at him in person!"

Jia You was a little worried: "Don't be impulsive! Now is not the time to fight Shi Lejue to death and avenge the Sima family!"

After learning that Shi Le's army was heading south, Sima Fan expressed to Jia You more than once that he wanted to raise all the imperial guards. The elite Jingzhou veterans were urged to fight to the death with Shi Le. Jia You took a lot of effort to persuade him. He could understand Sima Fan's mood. There were dozens of royal princes who died at Shi Le's hands over the years. More than 30 princes were slaughtered in the Battle of Yanling alone. The Sima family, which was originally lush, is now withered, and there are only a handful of survivors. How can such a deep blood revenge not be avenged? If he had sacrificed his life, he would have to avenge him!

But now is really not the time to take revenge.

Their capital is too little!

Although they made a lot of noise in Nanyang, their meager capital has never changed. In name, they have tens of thousands of available soldiers, but the ones that are truly reliable are only more than three thousand Wuxing Tucao, four thousand alien forces and four thousand Jingzhou veterans. Later, they rescued 10,000 deep-seated imperial guards in the Battle of Daoyang, and they were more affordable. Now, they gathered 10,000 imperial guards, two thousand Wuhuan Tucao, one thousand Qin cavalry, and three thousand Jingzhou old men. It can be said that a big family is here.

Once this army is destroyed, even if there is a war god like Beigong Chun, he may not be able to make up for the world. What about Shi Le? Sorry, the miscellaneous Husbands everywhere, and the refugees who run around like locusts, wherever they have food to eat are all his soldiers... His army cannot be completed! Just last winter, Beigong Jing pressed Shi Le to beat him up, and Shi Le lost three consecutive games, losing more than 20,000 people. It is said that he has been seriously injured, but it took him only a few months to pull up tens of thousands of troops!

It would be a loss to use these veterans who have lived for the rest of their lives to fight with Shi Le's cheap but amazing number of mixed fish!

Sima Fan said: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. This army is the last hope of the Great Jin Dynasty. I will not take this risk to them if I want to take revenge."

Jia You said, "I hope." He repeatedly reminded Sima Fan not to take risks and just hold Shi Le. Until he really listened to the words, he led a thousand Qin cavalry to leave Xuchang Camp quickly and gallop towards Liang County to pick up Beigong Chun's army. As for the food and grass, he didn't bring it, because he knew that the wheat harvest in Jia County and Liang County was quite good, and the enemy situation was not serious, so he suffered little damage. There was still a lot of food stored in the people, so he just went to buy food locally.

Sima Fan ordered the reduction of troops and transferred them to Xiangcheng, and continued to maintain oppression of Xuchang, but refused to fight Shi Le. During the days when he anxiously waited for news from Liang County, Shi Le sent people to issue war letters many times, provoking to fight to the death with him, and even vividly told how he slaughtered many royal relatives in Ningping City and Yanling to stimulate him, but he gritted his teeth and held back.

Decisive battle? I have only this little army in total. If I lose one, I will never have a chance to turn over again. But you have endless sources of troops, and you will still be able to get up again if you lose ten or eight times. What a big deal I will fight you!

The two sides were exhausted. This consumption was obviously more beneficial to Sima Fan, at least from the moment, for him. Behind him was the harvest of Nanyang, Xiangcheng County had just harvested fertile land and the wheat harvest was not bad. With the support of these wheat, he could hold on for a long time. Shi Le couldn't do it. The Xuchang area had been moved almost by Sima Fan. The Xingyang County behind him broke out last year, and the hair on the livestock was gnawed by the locusts. In addition, the war was protracted, and the people either fled or died of hunger. The war was almost gone, and the war was almost unmanned. Naturally, it was impossible to provide him with much food. In addition, he had a large number of people and horses, and people ate horses, and the food was consumed by huge amounts, so they could not supply him at all.

The Jiehu army, which conquered most of the Central Plains, confronted the Jin army, which had only one Nanyang County and one Xiangcheng County, and was in danger of being hungry. It was really a ghost.

The heavy rain in the Yiluo River Valley lasted a day and a night, causing the Yishui River to soar, flooding the fields and the wasteland. The originally tame Yishui River became turbid, with foam rolling, and seeing people swallowing people and destroying houses, which was daunting.

Fortunately, the Jin army was able to hide in the city and have houses to hide. They avoided the endless heavy rain and did not have to be soaked in the water. The Hun army besieged them was a bit miserable. The rain fell all day long and the location was relatively low-lying. The entire army was soaked in the water, soaked to death and drowned a bunch of people. Liu Can quickly couldn't stand it and ordered the army to move to a high place to avoid the rising river water, and ran back to Luoyang himself. He thought the rain was so heavy that the Jin army could not act, so he went back to Luoyang first to rest, and it would not be a problem to come and continue commanding the army when the heavy rain stopped.

Liu Can made a very bad head. When the generals of noble origin saw the prince running back to Luoyang to enjoy the rain, they naturally did not want to stay in this ghost place and were struck by lightning and rain. They all made excuses to throw their respective troops and ran back to Luoyang. Now that everyone is snatching this bustling in Luoyang, they are certainly unwilling to pass by such an opportunity to make a fortune, and they say they have to make a vote no matter what!

As a result, only those low-level generals who were from small-scale and unpopular, and the unlucky big-headed soldiers who were left there to stay in the rain. These people were naturally very dissatisfied and complained repeatedly. They all said that those noble people were dissatisfied and began to drift off as soon as they captured Luoyang. They would not take the lives of these lower-level soldiers seriously. If the Jin army broke through, they would never fight to the death for these fucking things!

In fact, they still looked up to themselves because before the heavy rain, they only surrounded Luoyang on three sides. In order to shelter from the rain, everyone moved to high places, and the encirclement could not be maintained. If the Jin army really wanted to run, there was no need to break through. As long as it didn't make too loud noises, it would be no problem to walk in groups.

In fact, they did this. When they found that the Hun army was forced to move to a high place to avoid the rising river water, and the unfinished encirclement revealed more gaps, Beigong Chun immediately took action. He ordered all the corn to be fried, packed in cloth bags, and sent a bag to each household of the common people. He also killed all the sick, injured mules, horses, and donkeys, and divided each of them with a piece of meat. Then he pointed to the vast Funiu Mountain in the east and said to them: "Take these things, quietly leave the city, drill into the mountainous areas as fast as possible, and walk along the mountain road to Liang County. When you arrive in Liang County, the army of the King of Xiangyang will be able to pick us up. There is not much food in the city, and all the food you can give to you on the road. You must be fast. Only by walking out of Funiu Mountain before you finish eating these things can you survive!"

A large number of ordinary people braved the light rain and brought these few but extremely precious dry food, and quietly left the city with their families, fled into the mountainous area, and walked along the mountain road dozens of miles away.
