Chapter 856 Guandong Gentry?
The capture of Luoyang was definitely beyond Sima Yi's expectations. From time to time, he might have just retreated to Yecheng and had no time to arrange a meticulous defense net near the Taihang Mountains. However, just when Wang Hou planned to stick to Sima Yi to the end, Jia Xu stopped him.
It is thousands of miles from Luoyang to Yecheng. The Taihang Mountains are high and the road is long and long. If you march along the Yellow River, not only will you go around the distance, but you will also be in the core army of Yanzhou, which is full of enemies everywhere. Sima Yi is not prepared, so why is Wang Hou ready?
And this is a full price to fight hard. Once he loses, Sima Yi will never give Wang Houshang a chance to turn over.
More importantly!
Looking at the lobby of the old Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang, the left servant shot Chen Tai, and Jia Xu couldn't help but look particularly contemptuous on his face, and he held his fists heavily at Wang Hou with disdain.
"Ha, Kanto gentry!"
…………
As mentioned earlier, the policy of separation of powers by Cao Cao even continued to Sima Yan's Jin State, the three parties who controlled the power, emperors, aristocratic families, and one of them was the royal family.
Among them, the royal family has great power in the army. Even if the Sima family rises up and Sima Yi launches the Gaopingling Incident, occupying Luoyang City, and blocking General Cao Shuang and Emperor Cao Fang outside the city, Cao Shuang still has a considerable chance of victory. Sixty or seventy percent of the national army is in his hands, and counterattacks Luoyang. The outcome is really unknown. Unfortunately, Cao Shuang is a fool, which scares Sima Yi and surrenders.
But even so, the royal family loyal to Cao Wei still launched the three rebellions in Huainan to fight against the Sima family, which shows its strength.
Now, there are more than 200,000 troops controlled by the royal family, that is Cao Pi's southern expedition troops.
After fighting Jiangnan, more than 200,000 Cao's army lost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to fight. After Cao Pi's death, General Cao Zhen and General Zhenwei Cao Xiu surrounded Cao Pi's tomb and returned. As a result, they were in the battle of Wang Hou and Cao Zhang's Jingjian. The two of them decided to neither approach Luoyang according to Sima Yi's order nor approach Wang Hou and Qinchuan. Instead, they stagnated in the old capital Xuchang for more than two months.
However, no one expected that when the attention of the world was concentrated in Luoyang, the core figures at the center of the storm had already quietly left here.
Songyang, at the foot of Songshan Mountain, in the hall of the half mountain.
"Meet brother-in-law!"
Looking at the person in front of him holding his fists and bowing, Wang Hou couldn't help but sigh. Cao Cao's era is really over!
Zhang Liao, who had served in his tent for a while, died of illness in Jiangdu last year. Li Dianlejin was already ill when he was still alive. Yu Jin now lives in seclusion in the old city of Loulan, the Western Regions, fishing every day, and does not care about military affairs. Zhang He, the only person who is still active in the military, is now fighting west of the Palacio Mountains and bids farewell to the civil war.
There are also Eight Tiger Cavalry. In front of him, his one-eyed dragon elder brother Xiahou Dun died of illness, and his bad-hearted Xiahou Yuan died of Hanzhong. Cao Ren and Cao Chun brothers died of illness two years ago. It was the turn of Cao Wei army to seize Guan Yu’s love and dedicated it to Mr. Cao’s wife Du, who brought him over to Cao Zhen.
The generals who conquered the world in Cao Cao's era have almost all withered in recent years. Now the one who supports the Cao Wei royal army is these two young boys back then. It is really time to grow old.
