The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 90 The Destruction of Sima Yue
Regarding Gou Xi's sudden madness, Liu Tai and Chu Hui both watched with cold eyes, wanting to see what other tricks Jin Ting could do.

Moreover, Liu Tai himself is also waiting for a good harvest. Before that, since others don't take him seriously, it will be better for him.

In the remaining time, he can prepare more fully for the war.

The first step is to determine the most basic weights and measures, rather than the non-standard measurement units of this era such as a bucket or a liter.

For example, use ice and snow as a container in winter to measure the height of the mercury column at standard atmospheric pressure. Divide this height by 76 to get one centimeter. With one centimeter cubed, you can get the volume unit cubic centimeter. With one cubic centimeter, you have One gram of water.

In this way, we have the most basic unit of weights and measures. Throw away all the previous big buckets, small buckets, large feet and small feet, and use this weight and measure as the standard in the future.

Otherwise, all kinds of things are obviously made using the same set of standards, but the parts and accessories made by the two guys are actually incompatible, which makes Liu Tai's brain bleed.

Now that winter is here, I have a need to make siege weapons, so I completed the new weights and measures update.

Even if it is only used as a standard in one's own organization camp, it will at least further improve the efficiency of siege weapons.

Because Liu Tai said that the main pole of the engineering vehicle for siege weapons could not be transported.

But some fasteners, pulleys, link bolts and other mechanical parts, whether made of iron or wood, are all prepared.

At the same time, after unifying weights and measures, weapons such as arrows can also be customized and standardized.

His own workshop produces standard arrowheads, the carpentry workshop produces standard arrow shafts, and the poultry farm produces feathers.

Of course, the arrows produced in this way are not very good. After all, the materials are only like this, but the advantage is that the arrows are large and the arrows are full. Just shoot when the tube is full.

However, after all, productivity limits the performance of the manpower assembly line. Now Liu Tai's production capacity is completely unable to meet the consumption of the rough assembly line. This makes Liu Tai quite scratching his head, but he can only think of ways to solve it as best he can.

Even so, Liu Tai has mobilized most of the labor force in Taishan County, mainly relying on free meals.

After all, when the people heard the words "free meals", they naturally couldn't move.

For them, with the arrival of winter, the cold is too strong, and it has become difficult for ordinary people to work outside.

Even Liu Tai did not dare to let the people come out to work in the northern winter. In this era when there were not enough cold-proof products, it was really easy for a large number of people to freeze to death. This naturally gave the originally busy Taishan County a rest.

But who is Liu Tai? Seeing the common people resting and no longer producing for themselves is really heartbreaking!
Therefore, in order to reduce costs, Liu Tai established several large factories, where people worked against the cold wind.

Not only can you get two free meals here, but you can also take a bath in the large bathhouse after working every day. Some people who are handy even use gourds or bamboo tubes to get some boiling hot water back.

It is unrealistic for Liu Tai to bring this kind of water supply and heating to Taishan County, but if there are only a few small factories, Liu Tai can still do it.

At the same time, they have accumulated workers related to coal. Now they are only mining small coal mines. When they have the opportunity to develop large coal mines in the future, they may be able to reach the sky in one step.

After all, the development of human science and technology is still inseparable from boiling water and throwing stones even in the era that I traveled through.

Therefore, if we develop along this line, even if the road is tortuous, the direction is still correct after all.

Liu Tai, on the other hand, kept a low profile in preparing for war in Taishan County, and resolutely implemented the policy of accumulating grain widely, building high walls, and slowly becoming king.

In contrast, at this time, Sima Yue's operations in the Jin court were naturally becoming more and more arrogant.

With the war in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty attacking in all directions, and the food in Luoyang becoming less and less, this made Luoyang, the strongest stronghold in the north, unable to bring any sense of security to Sima Yue, so he planned to protect himself.

But the more shameless Sima was, even Run wouldn't be able to say it in front of his own mouth.

Instead, he put on his military uniform and came to Sima Chi and said: "Now Shi Le has been driven south of the Yellow River by Wang Jun and is heading towards Xiangyang. Your Majesty, please send me to station troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou to attack Shi Le and relieve the danger of the Jin Dynasty!"

When Sima Chi heard this, he felt as if someone had hit him hard on the back of his head. He said with a serious expression:
"Taifu, now the barbarians are approaching the suburbs of Luoyang. People's hearts are shaken and the country is in turmoil. The country and the country are all in your hands.

How could you go on an expedition to Shile at this time and give up going to the central court? "

Sima Chi looked at the man in front of him who recommended him to the stage and then acted in various ways. At least he thought that as the winner of the Eight Kings Rebellion, he at least had a little responsibility.

But the reality is what kind of rotten fish is this? How could God allow him to win the final victory of the Eight Kings Rebellion and control the military power and political power of the entire Sima clan.

And Sima Yue had no intention of staying any longer at this time. After all, he had never experienced Liu Cong leading his army to besiege Luoyang. Now that he didn't even have food, was he waiting to die if he continued to wait in Luoyang for the constituency?
As for the country and the country, it is not as important as my life, so I couldn't help but look a little contemptuous of Sima Chi's words.

Sima Yue replied: "I went out to fight and defeated the bandits by chance. At least it can boost the country's prestige. It is better than staying in Luoyang and waiting for death."

After hearing this, Sima Chi could only watch Sima Yue leave with the only remaining military power in Luoyang, even if he was 1 unwilling, but as a puppet emperor, he had no way to stop it.

But what Sima Chi didn't expect was that this time, Sima Yue almost drained all the guards in Luoyang.

Sima Yue still wanted to control the government, so he decided to take over the chancellery of the imperial court, and Wang Yan was hired by him. There were famous ministers in the imperial court as assistants, and famous generals were included in his officials, bringing all the power he could bring. On.

This directly led to the entire Luoyang Palace becoming empty, hunger could not be solved, order was completely broken, thieves openly robbed in the streets, and corpses were eaten in the palace.

And various departments dug trenches and trenches to defend themselves. As for his puppet emperor, he was probably even as miserable as the original Jin Hui Emperor. He really wanted to eat minced meat.

Not long after Sima Yue abandoned Luoyang with his army, Gou Xi denounced Sima Yue, saying that Sima Yue was good at dictatorship and she would send troops to attack Sima Yue.

When Sima Yue heard about this, he immediately appointed Pan Tao as the Yin of Henan and Yang Hao as the governor of Yunzhou. Together with Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, he attacked Gou Xi.

But these are just some things that can be talked about. Facing Gou Xi's physical persuasion, the three groups of people simply cannot last a round.

Gou Xi rode to capture Pan Tao, but Pan Tao escaped at night and disappeared. He killed Liu Zeng and Chen Yan at night, and showed no resistance.

As for Pei Dun, he was still on the road, but after hearing the news of Sima Yue's death, Riding Governor Man Heng called on the army to go east to join Sima Yue's large army.

Pei Dun could not control the army at all and had no choice but to flee.Yes, Sima Yue died. Sima Yue died like this when he least deserved it!
No one thought that he died of illness due to overwork.

I still heard that Gou Xi casually defeated several armies arranged by him, so he realized that he was really just a rotten fish and a dejected man.

I still regret that I listened to Pan Tao's words and chose to trust Pan Tao instead of giving up on Gou Xi. As a result, Pan Tao is now missing and I feel extremely regretful for betraying my trust.

Or maybe with all kinds of emotions flooding into his heart, Sima Yue's body and bones could no longer hold on and he died immediately.

It doesn't matter if he's dead, someone has to clean up the whole mess after all.

At this time, the real performance of the people in the Jin Dynasty came. First of all, Wang Yan, Sima Yue's partner, was born in the Wang family of Langya. Now he is an official and a Taiwei. He needs to be famous and have authority. Faced with the need for him. Presiding over the situation…

He jumped out and said decisively: "I have never had the desire to be an official since I was a child. However, when the imperial court appoints officials, I have to take it one step at a time. How can I solve such a big matter now?"

The Langya Wang clan leader, who was known for his eloquence, backed down at the most critical moment.

Everyone had no choice but to recommend Sima Yue's grandnephew Sima Fan, but Sima Fan also hurriedly refused.

The entire Jin Dynasty court was in danger of life and death, but no one dared to stand up and take responsibility. If the court did not perish, who would perish?

As this group of people argued and compromised with each other, no one wanted to be held responsible, but everyone knew that someone needed to stand up at this time.

In the end, Wang Yan and Sima Fan were allowed to jointly lead the army. It seemed that they were still more powerful, but it was not as good as letting Sima Yue lead the army.

At least there is a decisive person here. Even if Sima Yue's decision-making is poor, it is still better than having so many people making decisions together.

In fact, their level can be seen from the first decision they made. At this time, they could either go back and support Sima Chi in retaining the last military power of the Western Jin Dynasty, or they could go south to the south of the Yangtze River and choose to join Sima Rui and Director Wang. .

But no one dares to make a decision, no one dares to stand up and take responsibility!
After much discussion, it was finally decided to carry Sima Yue's body back to the fiefdom. People simply didn't know how to complain.

Then Shi Le's pursuers caught up with Sima Yue's spirit-traveling team and launched the Battle of Ningping City in Ningping.

Thousands of arrows were fired, and no one was spared. The fleeing army, the families of the soldiers, and the people of Luoyang, a total of 10 people, were wiped out.

After all the senior officials were captured, Wang Yan emphasized to Shi Le that although he was a tutor, he had no desire to be an official since he was a child, and advised Shi Le to proclaim himself emperor.

To be honest, Shi Le climbed from a slave to his current position, but it is really rare to see a true nobleman like Wang Yan. Just by looking at his appearance, he gives people a feeling of elegance and nobility, and he still admires him very much in his heart.

But he never expected that Langya Wang, who was so famous all over the world, would actually be like this when they met.

This made Shi Le, who was born in the Jie tribe, find it hard to tolerate Wang Yan's shamelessness.

Therefore, Wang Yan, together with the entire Jin court group headed by Wang Yan, were all pushed against the wall and buried alive by Shi Le's army.

The last resistance force in the hands of the entire Jin court was completely destroyed by Wang Yan and others.

After such a force was eliminated, the Battle of Weicang broke out immediately, and the 36 royal families of the Western Jin Dynasty died one after another.

It can be said that with these two wars, the entire Jin court power around Luoyang was completely destroyed, and the entire Luoyang became an isolated city.

The fall of Luoyang has basically become a matter of time. No one can save this city now anyway.

The Xiongnu and Han Kingdom's series of blows to the Jin court were quite shocking to the entire world.

Because no one expected that Sima Yue, who was in charge of the world, would die so simply, nor did they expect that after Sima Yue's death, the entire force under him could not survive even two months, and was completely destroyed.

After hearing the news, Liu Tai resolutely raised troops and marched into Qingzhou. He didn't even have time to harvest the wheat that was about to be harvested. He could only entrust it all to Chu Hui, giving him full responsibility for maintaining the grain roads in the rear.

Because Liu Tai knew very well that with the death of Sima Yue, the main military power of the Jin Dynasty was destroyed. Compared with the loss of strength, the turmoil of people's hearts made the Qingzhou family even more shaken and desperate.

If they were still thinking about how to swing between the two sides, then they now need to think about whether they choose the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, or they must bear the thunderous wrath of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

After all, Sima Yue is gone, and there is no one in the entire Jin court who can convince everyone!

Liu Tai sent out troops at this moment, and the front line of troops passed almost the border of Qingzhou and fell into the wind, all the way to Linzi smoothly.

However, Gouchun would not surrender directly in Linzi City. Especially when Liu Tai heard the news that Gou Xi was coming back, he ordered his soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner to avoid being attacked from both sides. At the same time, in order to create opportunities for Tian Xi, he retreated To Changguo.

The army led by Gou Xi was pressing towards Liu Tai. This time he would not let Liu Tai escape again.

At this moment, Gou Xi also heard the news of Sima Yue's complete defeat, but Gou Xi felt a fire rising in his heart.

Because Sima Yue died like this, and he died so ridiculously even before he killed him.

This made Gou Xi unwilling. Liu Tai took the initiative to attack him, which just played into his hands, because he also wanted to kill someone to vent his anger!
Under such circumstances, Liu Tai took the [-] soldiers he had accumulated this year and faced the [-] soldiers who came with hatred from Shang Gou Xi, and they confronted Liu Tai in Changguo.

At this moment, Liu Tai faced Gou Xi's army and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Instead, he focused on strengthening the defense of the camp and chose to confront Gou Xi.

Seeing this scene, Gou Xi gritted his teeth and sent people out every day to scold and fight.

But Liu Tai looked calm. For those who have been baptized by online public opinion in the 21st century, the swear words of this era are completely irrelevant.

For example, Liu Tai replied, "Why are dogs barking? I don't see anyone eating!"

The scolding made the person's face turn red, and Gou Xi's face became even more ugly.

　Today is the first update, no need to wait, I still owe the fourth update to make a record.
