Trivia at the end of the Jin Dynasty

Dust and sand cover the sun, not a blade of grass grows, trees have no whole branches, and the wind passes by and the branches are broken.When Da Sima, who was fighting against the weather, led his army through the Yellow Ruins, it was rare to see even the refugees from the war. Occasionally, there were bones on the marching road, and they were also incomplete.With successive victories, the land swallowed by the Yan Kingdom slowly spit out, and marched to the old place again, but Huan Wen's heart fell to the bottom of the valley.

Chen Liuben was a feudal state of Liang during the Han Dynasty, rich and prosperous, with simple folk customs.Even when the king of Wei later defeated the old thief Dong Zhuo, he raised his troops here.Before Sima Yan proclaimed himself emperor, he also proclaimed himself King Chenliu. In such a place where heroes are born in large numbers, in the current chaos and wars, in Huan Wen's view, it is dilapidated, riddled with holes, and devastated. The repeated invasions of the ancient city have completely wiped out the old style of this ancient city.

At this point in the march, Huan Wen couldn't help wanting to stay longer, even with his meager efforts, he wanted to revitalize the ancient city and save the people from suffering.It's a pity that Tianshui can't count on it, and the flames of war can't withstand it. According to the news from the Yan army, Yan's generals Murong Chui, Fu Mobo and others have assembled an army of [-] troops to resist the Jin army.In order to prevent the Jin army from moving forward and approaching Yecheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Murongchui and others fought with their backs. This vicious battle was about to break out, and Huan Wen had to be fully prepared before he dared to fight.

Huan Wen immediately ordered Yuan Zhen to attack Qiao and Liang within ten days, and the Shimen waterway must be opened to receive ordnance and supplies, so as to stabilize the rear of the army.And he led his troops to Fangtou to confront the Yan army. When the two soldiers fought, insufficient supplies were the most taboo.The cavalry of the Jin army, Huan Wen, was confident, while the support from the rear was worried and uneasy, and he couldn't confide a word.

Ten days have passed, Yuan Zhen is still at a loss what to do with the Shimen waterway, if he continues to delay, he will only delay the opportunity of the battle, Huan Wen is a little bit impatient.After waiting for another ten days, there was still no news from Yuan Zhen. The Yan army knew that the Jin army was short of food and grass, and they fought even more frantically.

As September approached, Huan Wen's generals Deng Xia and Zhu Xu went to steal food and grass, and met Wei general Fu Mobo. The two armies fought in Linzhu.Huan Wen finally couldn't resist the depletion of army supplies and the emptiness in the rear, so he ordered the warships to be burned and retreated.Murong immediately led [-] cavalry in pursuit, and fought with the Jin army in Xiangyi.At this time, Huan Wen was at the end of his battle, and he was defeated repeatedly, causing more than [-] casualties.

To make matters worse, Huan Wen didn't know that the Qin army had been dispatched from Luoyang to Xuchang, under the banner of supporting the Yan army, and wanted to kill him on the way home.Therefore, during the battle of Xiangyi, the Yan army pretended to be unfavorable in transporting grain and grass, and was defeated by the Jin army.At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Jin army had been beaten dizzily, and their hopes were lighted up by the accidental victory. The temptation of food and grass was greater than that of their hometown at this time.During the bloody battle in Huanwen, he suddenly remembered his wife's dream of leaving, and the poor should not chase after him, so he quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops, but it was too late, the main force he led almost escaped the interception and killing of the Qin army, and all the soldiers desperately defended the lord Only then did Huan Wen escape with his life, and the remaining remnants were all beheaded by the Qin army.

In winter and October, the stars flowed westward, and the sound was like thunder. The Jin army, who had lost their helmets and armor, slept in the wilderness, lacking medical care and food. Huan Wen ordered to pack up the scattered soldiers and garrison them in Shanyang.The heavy rain poured down, and when the battle report came, the Qin army fought back and launched an all-out attack on the capital of the Yan army.In a fit of anger, Huan Wen's blood surged up, and he fainted. All the soldiers in the tent shouted desperately, "General, wake up! General, wake up!" The affection is moving.

So far, Huan's vigorous Northern Expedition ended in a disastrous failure, and by the way, he made a wedding dress for others.

Sima Yi, who was full of joy waiting for the Huan family's entire army to annihilate the battle report, never got his wish. Huan Wen, who had escaped death, really returned with his life.Huan Wen went to the imperial court and blamed Yuan Zhen for the Northern Expedition, and asked Yuan Zhen to be deposed as a commoner.Moreover, Huan Wen, in the name of killing Yuan's rebels, still led the army Shanyang Jiu refused to return to the court, and he heard that he was seriously ill and often fainted.

Sima Yi immediately retired to appease Huan Wen. The defeat of the Northern Expedition was Yuan Zhen's responsibility, and everything was done according to Da Sima's will.In addition, Luo Han, the attendant, was ordered to bring cattle wine to Shanyang to reward Huan Wen, and ordered his son Huanxi to be the governor of Yuzhou, in recognition of Huan's hard work in the Northern Expedition.

Yuan Zhen knew that the imperial court did not dare to hold Huan Wen accountable for his defeat, so he could only take the blame for himself. Forced to do nothing, he had no choice but to lead the crowd to defect, guard Shouchun, and secretly colluded with Qianqin and Qianyan.In February of the following year, Yuan Zhen died of illness, and his general Zhu Fu supported his son Yuan Jin as the governor of Yuzhou.Huan Wen led an army of 371 to attack Shouchun, and built a long siege to surround the city. Yuan Jin had to stick to Yingcheng.The see-saw war lasted until [-]. Huan Wen defeated Shouchun, captured Yuan Jin, and sent Yuan Jin, Zhu Fu and dozens of people from their clans to Jiankang for beheading. The begging army was buried alive.

So far, the Yuan family of Chen Jun, one of the four great families of "Wang Xie Yuan Xiao" who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, has completely come to an end.At the same time, Yuzhou also completely fell into the hands of Huan Wen.After the Northern Expedition, Yuan and Huan's dog-biting dogs did not mention it, but only talked about how the people in the palace lived.

Sima Yi was well aware of the defeat of the Northern Expedition, and the Huan family would not let it go. Such a catastrophe of extermination as the Yuan family could happen to him at any time.Hearing that the Prime Minister has rushed to Shanyang to discuss important matters with Da Sima, his life may become more and more difficult, but right now there is something that makes him feel even more difficult.

Recently Xianglong often went out of the palace, I don't know if he was looking for news or he had other plans.After noon, he hurried out of the East Palace Gate, as if he was heading towards Qingxi Bridge. If he sent someone to follow him, he would be suspected of distrust. If he didn't send someone, he would feel uncomfortable. What is this person hiding? Why not report it to me?Sima Yi paced back and forth in the hall, restless and restless.

More than half an hour later, Chu Xianglong came back, seeing Sima Yi sitting on the couch with a cold face, he wanted to go up and wait on him to clean his face. "Your Majesty got up? Can you take a good nap?" Xianglong pretended not to know, or really didn't know, Sima Yi's expression was clearly that he hadn't slept.

"Where have you been?" Sima Yi was not angry, his voice was filled with ice.

Xianglong didn't say a word, he just checked the temperature of the water in the basin.

"Where?" Sima Yi was so furious that he finally roared out, the indifference on his face instantly turned into anger, and his veins bulged.

"Qingxi Bridge." Xianglong had never seen Sima Yi like this before. He was a little puzzled and also a little surprised. He didn't hide it on purpose, but just went out several times. How could Sima Yi not notice it.Since the defeat of Huan Wen, Sima Yi has been worried every day, and he can't rest his pillow. He must not be able to bear any stimulation at this time. Once there is a disturbance, he will feel uneasy, like a rabbit in a haystack. fleeing.

"What to do at Qingxi Bridge?" Sima Yi heard the same answer as he had guessed, and he really wanted to know what was there. It was so fascinating that he had to go there every few days.

"Wenji Publishing House." Xianglong washed his face towel, squeezed out the water, and handed it over, motioning for Sima Yi to clean his face.

After Sima Yi heard these four words, his anger seemed to be half gone. After thinking about it, he had no clue what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd.He took the face towel obediently and wiped his face.Xianglong handed him the teacup again, and he took a sip, Xianglong immediately handed him the rinsing bowl and another face towel.After finishing this routine, he took another cup of tea poured by Xianglong, took two sips, and then remembered that he had never slept at all, so why did he do such a routine, and then lightly dropped the lid of the teacup.

"The boss of Wenji Publishing House is very kind and friendly. He has published miscellaneous books for many unknown literati in Jiankang City. It can be said that as long as you write a few words, you can publish a book in Wenji. If the sale is sold, the boss will return [-]% of the commission, and the business is booming. Even if no one buys your work, the cost of publishing the letter is very low, you can take it back by yourself, or entrust the boss to give it away." Xianglong waited on Sima Yi, talking eloquently.

"Is Xianglong going to make money?" Sima Yi was very difficult to understand.

"I knew about this bookstore when I was in the palace in the early years, but I never told you about it because your interests didn't match. Every time I went out of the palace to celebrate my father's birthday, I would bring back a few volumes of letters written by Wenji. " Xianglong sent out the things for washing and went back to the inner room, seeing Sima Yi still sitting on the couch in a daze, he came over to sit with him.

Sima Yi reacted, and felt that this kind of overstepping behavior in broad daylight was very inappropriate, and also felt that anyway, Huan Wen didn't know the result when he came back, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he let Xianglong just sit like this.The two sat on the couch, facing each other, looking at each other like a newly married couple, looking at each other for a lifetime.

"Whether it's a military book or an account book, why doesn't it suit my interests?" Sima Yi didn't understand, so he asked if he didn't understand.

"It's some miscellaneous books, which are not relevant to you anyway." After thinking about it, I felt empty, so I continued to explain: "It is useless for you to govern the country and the world, and it is not some biography and unofficial history, but simply does not suit your interests. " Xianglong's eyes lingered on Sima Yi's face, his words were illogical, but his voice was as gentle as water.

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I'm not interested?" It was rare for Sima Yi's thoughts to be taken away by Xianglong today.

"It's useless to talk more." Xianglong sighed slightly, and turned his face away.

"Xianglong, could it be that you lied to me? You said that you went to the bookstore because you were afraid that Mrs. Huan would return to Beijing and implicate me, so you could find a way out for yourself." Sima Yi finally thought of himself after Xianglong's cover-up several times guess.

Xianglong turned his face and looked into his eyes. From the doubtful look in his eyes, he could see that after Sima Yi really had such a guess, he felt that he was really frightened to the extreme.He wanted to reach out his hand to caress the top of his head, but Sima Yi quickly opened it before he even touched it.
