Chapter 106 Showers
Finally dispatched troops! Sima Teng jumped up excitedly after receiving a letter from his brother. Since leaving Luoyang last year, he has been waiting for this news. Originally, the two had decided to catch turtles in the urn, but after Zhang Fang’s raid on the capital, Sima Ying was actually on guard. First sent his confidant to control the temple, and before returning to Yecheng, he ordered general Shi Chao to lead 50,000 soldiers to guard the twelve gates of Luoyang, arrested and killed the banned generals who opposed him. After that, Shi Chao commanded the Central Protector Army and stayed in the capital to frighten hundreds of officials.
As a result, Luoyang City has no strength to rely on. Even many princes and ministers rushed to Yecheng to plead with the emperor’s brother.
Fortunately, the previous cleaning was not thorough. After a few months of silence, Sima Yue contacted General Chen Feng from Youwei, General Lu Bao, Cheng Fu, and Changsha King Shangguansi, secretly planning for an uprising. Naturally, this news must be delivered to his younger brother first. At that time, he will be able to send troops directly to encircle the king of Chengdu!
This is a big deal! As long as this plan can be accomplished, his elder brother can immediately replace Sima Ying and take the emperor to command the princes. His status can naturally rise, right?
Excitedly spinning around the room twice, Sima Teng calmed down a bit, then sat back to the desk and wrote a letter in a hurry. After checking carefully, he preached: “Come here, send this letter to Youzhou, and give it to Wang Pengzu!”
This Wang Pengzu is the Youzhou Governor Wang Jun. This person also came from the Taiyuan Wang family, but not a direct line, but the illegitimate son of the original Hussar General Wang Shen. Because his father had no sons, he just inherited the Duke of Boring. Afterwards, he moved up step by step and stayed in Youzhou for many years.
Although his father didn’t like this son, he was from the Wang family of Taiyuan after all. After the deaths of Wang Hun and Wang Ji’s father and son, he was the most powerful pillar of the Taiyuan Wang family. Under the rule of Bingzhou of Taiyuan, his own, the governor of Bingzhou, had always had a good relationship with the Wangs of Taiyuan, and his relationship with him was naturally close.
With this level of relationship, you must also communicate with Wang Jun about rebellious matters. It just so happened that Wang Jun was originally a party of Jia Hou, and Youzhou was also located in Sima Ying’s back. Therefore, the king of Chengdu was extremely jealous of him. He also sent You Sima Heyan to serve as the governor of Youzhou, hoping to restrain Wang Jun. .
If he learns the news, Wang Jun will cater to him if he is not good enough. Then the two of them will send troops together and secluded. Tens of thousands of soldiers will come to Yecheng. How can Sima Ying have a chance to parry? Coupled with Brother’s arrangement, it is the perfect solution!
Calculated like this, after the fall, it is time to send troops!

“Xiangguo, only the locust plague occurred in Yunzhong and Langmeng, and the other places are still stable…”
Liu Xuan let out a long sigh. This is much better than imagined. If an entire field is hit by a disaster, the rations will not be available.
“That’s great. Look at other places. If there is a locust plague, you will have to grab some food. There are also leather materials, and you can sell them a little while the rice is low.”
Now food is the most important thing. After entering the customs, the Huns also began to cultivate themselves, otherwise they would not be able to move just because they were caught by this hurdle. However, the food on hand is still too small, and it can only be robbed from other counties after the incident. If you can raise an army of 100,000, you will have capital to contend for the world.
“How is the situation in Yecheng?” Liu Xuan asked again.
The confidant shook his head: “I still can’t get away. Recently, the emperor Wang Jin of Chengdu has become more and more jealous of his officials. It is inconvenient for King Zuo Xian to go out. I am afraid I will have to wait a while.”
This Sima child! Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows: “I can’t care about that much. Send someone to clear the Menghuang Gate to see if I can get a few words of advice from him.”
Meng Huangmen is Meng Jiu, and Sima Ying’s most favored eunuch. At the beginning, he was in Erlu and died, and he deserved it. If you can get Meng Jiu’s words, Liu Yuan will be able to escape from Yecheng safely. If this path doesn’t work either, I am afraid it will only be a dangerous escape.
It’s a pity that Luoyang didn’t make any more trouble, Liu Xuan slowly tapped the table with his fingertips. If the Kings of Sima can get into chaos again, it would be the best time for them to rise up. Just look at those people, when will Sima Ying endure…

“Yingzheng! Seventy acres of army fields in the west have been harvested.” With sweating profusely, Wang Long ran all the way.
His original name was Chonglong, but all the Yingjie people had to change their surnames to Han a few days ago, so he couldn’t figure out what his clan should be called, so he chose a pleasing surname and used it. This is really useful, even the wife of the family looked at him a bit pleasing, and said that he would give birth to a baby early and send him to school.
Wang Long didn’t care whether he could go to school or not, but his family’s army field was fundamental and he could not neglect. He can still be handed over to his family when he farms on weekdays, and he can’t sit still until the summer harvest. In case of a rain, good food will suffer!
Thanks to Lang’s forgiveness, these days they no longer force them to practice, but instead send all of them out to reap the army. The method is also quite particular, not to collect each one, but the team pushes along the Tianlong all the way. With this arrangement, many soldiers’ military fields may not be able to rank in the front, and the people who work are more afraid to neglect, and can only fight for more daily work and harvest their own summer food as soon as possible.
Wang Long didn’t know what others thought, but this idea couldn’t be better for him. He is on the right team, and there are many army fields, and he can’t grab it anyway by himself. In this way, hundreds of people can harvest together, and the fields can be harvested clean without much effort. How can it not make people happy!
“Take a break for a quarter of an hour!” Yi Yan straightened up, grabbed his coat and wiped his face.
Even if it wasn’t midday, the weather was terribly hot, and there was almost no dry place in his whole body. A lot of sweat slid down his chest, reflecting the firmness of the body as if it had passed a layer of oil. However, Yi Yan didn’t care about the sweat on his body, but rubbed his waist smoothly. Harvesting food is not like normal exercises. You have to bow your head and bend over. After a day, there is no pain in your whole body, and your hands are hot and bubbling, which is a bit harder than the exercise.
However, including him, no half of the entire camp complained. What they reap is their own and Roboze’s fields, which are real military exploits and private assets. This is all in exchange for desperately. Who would be stingy to support a family of children, wives and parents? So no matter how tight the urging is, there will be no emotions underneath.
The crowd huddled in the shady place under the tree, drinking water, gasping for breath, like a scalper who has been plowing for a day. Unexpectedly, before he could rest, Yi Yan stood up again and said loudly: “Keep on working, we will finish harvesting this hundred acres of land in the morning!”
There is more work to be done this afternoon. The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and got up and walked towards the distant fields. Yi Yan looked up at the sky. Fortunately, it is still cloudless. I only hope that the weather will change after all the grains in the fields have been harvested.
The summer harvest lasted for half a month, and then the cattle entered the fields and began to plow the land to grab autumn grain. As if the time has been checked, when the new grains are put into the warehouse and the fields are planted, the weather changes. A shower came with the wind.
Liang Feng was dressed in a single shirt, sitting on the porch, watching the heavy rain outside, and let out a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, it was harvested in time.”
If it’s a few days later, I’m afraid I won’t have such good luck. Looking up at the young man with a darker color on the side, he smiled and said: “This time grabbing, it’s hard work for you. Give the trilogy a three-day holiday, let’s take a rest.”
Yi Yan is not white now, and his skin is light brown. Only those eyes looked bluer. Seeing Liang Feng’s soothing smile, the long-term exhaustion seemed to disappear from him. After carefully printing the figure in his eyes, he said: “Some people have ulcers on their hands, and Dr. Jiang said that they need medicine. These people are afraid that they will have to rest for two more days.”
“Didn’t the blisters be dealt with in time?” Liang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly, “What about your hands?”
“The subordinates are fine.”
Liang Feng didn’t believe his set: “Let me see.”
Yi Yan only hesitated for a while, and stretched out his palm. Liang Fenghun didn’t care, so he took a closer look. I saw a lot of scratches, dry bubbles and some blood stasis on the thick cocoon. Fortunately, there were no more serious injuries.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and said: “It’s okay. Those who are injured should also be treated as soon as possible. If it is hot today, there is no delay.”
Seeing the delicate, slender fingers sliding away from his palm, Yi Yan almost never recovered. After a while, he nodded.
In the sky, cyan lightning tore through the dark clouds, and thunder came again. Liang Feng’s attention was drawn, and he frowned slightly, “This rain, don’t stop it…”

In Miyagi, there was a chaotic sound, there were knives and guns intersecting, and there were also exclaims and shouts. But soon, these voices disappeared.
A group of soldiers in armor pushed open the palace gate and broke in. The headed one walked quickly to the dragon bed: “Your Majesty, the minister is here to help!”
Shrunken in the corner, the disheveled middle-aged man stammered and asked: “Sikong, why do you want to save me?”
No one hurt him? Obviously they were sleeping, why did they break into the room and say they want to help?
Sima Yue’s mouth twitched, but he was accustomed to the appearance of the emperor for a long time, and he did not show any disrespect. He just said softly: “The king of Chengdu is in trouble, the queen is abolished, and the prince is demoted, and the world is in danger. Yeah! That’s why the minister led his troops to come, and asked your majesty to conquer the imperial court and conquer the insurgent thief…”
“Personally?” Shaking his whole body, the middle-aged man shook his head abruptly, “I don’t want to go on the expedition, just fight it yourself. I won’t go!”
When the arrow hits the string, where can you retreat? Regardless of what the holy emperor said, Sima Yue straightened up and said loudly: “Come here, change your clothes for your majesty! Call three officials and a hundred officials into the temple to discuss matters!”
A group of eunuchs and palace ladies hurriedly stepped forward and replaced the crown for the emperor who had not yet woken up. Sima Yue looked at the unwilling man with a slight smile on his lips.
As long as there is an emperor’s own conquest, other princes will naturally follow their orders. With great justice and a strong army, he wants to see how Sima Ying, who is in Yecheng, will face the king’s master!
