Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 467

Ji Zhou Jingping 38 years, winter.

As soon as it entered the twelfth lunar month, the weather became more and more severe. The weather that had been clear for more than ten days was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a heavy snowfall fell from the sky.

Jin Kingdom · Yidu
Inside the palace garden, the world is covered in silver, with a few cold plum trees sprouting stamens, and the new wind blows the snow powder on the eaves above the palace, profusely, like catkins flying.

In Duanming Hall, the fire was raging and warm as spring.

King Jin wore a dark red robe with a black collar and double-breasted collar. Under the service of his concubines and eunuchs, he changed his clothes and got up, washed up, sat on a small lacquered wooden table, picked up a spoon, and ate steaming millet porridge. ,

On top of the tables, there are steaming steamed buns and a few side dishes, the dishes are simple and plain.

Since Jin Jun came to the throne, he advocated frugality, did not like fancy clothes, and did not like curiosities. He usually ate only four dishes, one soup, and a bowl of vinegar.

Jin people are addicted to vinegar, which is famous in Tianyuan Kyushu.

Jin Jun has a rough appearance and a heroic bearing. Even if he eats porridge, he still looks like a storm.

"Your Majesty, the military report on the front line."

Just when Jin Jun picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small steamed bun and handed it to his mouth, an eunuch walked quickly and lightly from the eaves outside the Duanming Hall.

Jin Jun put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed over by the beautiful and graceful woman, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."

"Should the concubine avoid it for a while?" The woman in gorgeous palace clothes, with a face like a silver plate and a high bun asked softly.

This woman is the wife of Lord Jin—Hu Qiang'er, who was born in the Hu family, a veteran official of the Jin State.

"No problem." Jun Jin waved his hand.

Not long after, under the guidance of the eunuchs, an old man wearing a fish beam crown and a black and red phoenix official uniform came in from outside the hall. He had gray hair and piercing eyes.

Although he is getting old, he has a vigorous pace, which can be said to be old and vigorous. A palm sticks out from the wide sleeve of the robe, holding a piece of silk high up, and a chubby face with an expression that is comparable to the wind and snow outside the palace. It should be a little bit colder.

"Chen, Zhizhuo, I have met your lord." Jin Guo Shangqing, Dazai Zhizhuo, walked a few steps quickly, bowed deeply, and said.

Jin Jun glanced at Dazai Zhizhuo's face, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still smiled heartily and said, "Please get up, Zhiqing, it's so early in the morning, have you ever eaten breakfast?

Dazai Zhizhuo shook his head, his chubby face was dignified, and he said: "Your Majesty, the military situation on the front line is not good, and I have an urgent military report from my side."

Jin Jun heard the words, the smile on his rough face gradually disappeared, and he took the military report from Zhi Zhuo, his face gradually became frosty, "Zhao Quji is completely wiped out? Zhao Jian, what happened?" Using soldiers?"

Not long ago, Han Renyan's entire army was annihilated, which caused waves in Jin country.

At that time, the center of the Jin court's criticism of Zhao Jian almost filled the entire court, especially the Han family, one of the four Jin families, even bluntly said that Zhao Jian would not save Zhao Jian, with ulterior motives.

However, Jinjun was a strong lord and always had a strong opinion. He used his own prestige to suppress the criticisms of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He even questioned the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty at the court meeting.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

However, not half a month had passed, when Jun Jin heard the news suddenly, he still complained.

The cold light flashed in Zhizhuo's old eyes, and he said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is another reason for this matter. It is not that Zhao Sima is at a disadvantage in fighting. With the help of the demon soldiers, the king of the country, the city defended by Zhao Quji, was destroyed by the Soviet and Wei coalition forces before it lasted two days, and Zhao Sima originally planned to attack from inside and outside."

Of course Zhi Zhuo was not a fool, when he was defeated, he went off to criticize Zhao Jian in person, which was tantamount to leaving a very bad impression on Jin Jun.

In fact, the political tide some time ago was caused by the Han family on the surface, but Zhizhuo was actually fueling the flames behind it.

"Monster soldiers?" Jin Jun frowned, wondering: "The immortal master of the Heart Demon Sect accompanied the army, didn't they make a move?"

"Su Hou used Chilin Sect to help behind his back, and he used his heart to calculate his innocence." Zhi Zhuo explained.

Jin Jun snorted coldly, the anger on his face remained undiminished, and he was thinking about countermeasures.

"The most urgent thing is to increase troops." Jin Jun was silent for a while, then suddenly said.

Obviously, even the loss of [-] troops did not shake Jin Jun's idea of ​​attacking Weiguo, nor did it change Jin Jun's trust in Zhao Jian.

Zhao Yangjian has been in charge of military affairs for more than ten years, and he has helped Jinjun win many battles.

Besides, there was a beautiful big victory earlier.

Victory or defeat is, after all, a common matter for military strategists.

This is also the reason why Zhizhuo wisely didn't choose to go shirtless.

Zhi Zhuo hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, it's almost the end of the new year. All the government departments and military generals are busy celebrating the New Year. If you want to increase the number of troops, it will be next spring at the latest."

Jin Jun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face clouded, and he said in a deep voice, "If the situation continues to deteriorate, what can I do?"

Zhi Zhuo pondered for a moment, considering his words, and said: "There are still 10,000+ sons of mine on the front line, and there are more than [-] soldiers and horses in the four counties of Weiguo. With Zhao Da Sima's ability, it should not be difficult to support them until the beginning of next spring."

Jin Jun paced to the window, feeling very stuffy, opened the window and looked out, the cold wind rushed towards his face, and the restlessness in his heart was relieved a little.

At this time, Mrs. Hu Qiang got up slowly, took the cloak from the hand of the maid, handed it to Jun Jin, and said softly: "Your Majesty,"

Jin Jun said: "It's nothing to do alone."

At this time, the eunuch called out from the door with a high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are all outside the palace gate, please see your majesty."

Jin Jun sneered, and said: "It's really coming after hearing the news, let them come in."

Hu Qiang'er's cherry lips moved, wanting to persuade her, but she didn't know how to start it.

……

……

Time flies, and before you know it, another few days pass by.

In the camp of the Jin army, in the account of the Chinese army——

The vast land is covered with snow, and the new wind blows in the mountains and forests.

However, the sergeants of the brigade, together with the low-ranking generals, gathered in the camp, making noise in unison.

Zhao Jian, Shangqing and Da Sima of the Jin Kingdom, was dressed in cotton-padded jacket and ordinary clothes, with a three-foot sword in the palm of his hand, and a wooden hairpin fixed on the top of his uncapped head.

A cold, majestic face, with a livid face, stern eyes wandered around the tent, gathered all the generals, and shouted: "The soldiers' hearts are fluttering now, and they are making noise and causing trouble. Can the generals have a good plan?"

Today, early in the morning, Zhao Jian had just woken up, and before he could wash up, he heard the noise of the soldiers outside the tent, which almost made him think that the soldiers had mutinied.

He quickly called his own soldiers to gather all the generals in the camp and asked why.

It turned out that the army soldiers, led by some low-ranking generals, petitioned Zhao Jian to withdraw their troops because of the approaching New Year's Eve, deep homesickness, and insufficient supply of food and grass.

At this time, a young Jin general cupped his hands and said, "Dear Sima, for the past few days, the Soviet and Wei allied forces have dispatched fine cavalry to harass our army's ration roads and halve the supply of rations. At dawn, I don’t know who sang the country tunes of our Jin country first, and this morning, only the generals and soldiers were ensnared..."

Hearing this, Zhao Jian frowned, his face was cold, and he was speechless for a while.

In recent days, the Su and Wei armies have been divided into several teams with cavalry pawns, harassing the grain road, and burning down many grain post stations along the way, so that the army is short of food, and even has to raise money from the guard.

Zhao Jian said in a deep voice, "Then what do you generals mean?"
