February 311
Previously, Schleswig had been defending the Yangtze River and Han River. The soldiers had been infected by the plague because they had drunk unclean river water. Moreover, they could not replenish their rations. Therefore, they had sent troops to conquer Jiangxia. After a short rest, they had taken Xincai (the southeast of Henan Province, located in the Huai River basin, at the junction of two provinces, four cities, and six counties). He killed Sima Que, the King of Xincai Village, then seized Xuchang and killed Pingdong General Wang Kang.
By the Yangtze River
Schleswig waved his knife and looked at the commandant Zhang Bin beside him. He was very happy. Ever since he got Zhang Bin, he had not encountered too many obstacles. The heavens were really helping him!
Zhang Bin looked at the lord he had chosen and was very satisfied. Not only was he sincere to him, but he was also not guarded at all. A scholar would die for a confidant. This was probably the situation.
"Advisor Jun, do you think we should attack Luoyang or Xiangcheng first?" Schleswig said with a high-spirited smile.”
Zhang Bin also chuckled,"We've basically cut off Sima Yue's path of retreat and cut off the connection between the capital and Sima Yue. We can take anywhere we want, but if we take the capital, the people above won't be able to sleep well…"
Schleswig smiled and nodded." That's right. The Sima Clan only has Sima Yue as an opponent. What's there to show off about even if we take down the dog Emperor of Luoyang?" All troops, listen up!"
Zhang Bin smiled with satisfaction. Where could he find such a bold and courageous lord?! That's right, Sima Yue's head is a man's goal, haha!
Xiangcheng
I've been in Xiang City for a few months and have been taking care of Sima Yue. Recently, Sima Yue's condition has been getting worse and worse. He often vomits blood. This is phthisis. In ancient times, it was basically a terminal illness. He worked day and night for the state affairs, guarding against this and staring at that. He was also worried and depressed. How could his body withstand it in the long run? It was already a miracle that he could survive until now.
Sima Yue was gasping for breath on the sickbed. His sunken eyes were wide open as he looked at Wang Yan weakly. The saliva at the corner of his mouth flowed down unconsciously. I would wipe it away with a handkerchief when I saw it. Then Sima Yue coughed violently again.
Looking at Sima Yue like this, Wang Yan felt very painful and helpless. However, looking at the meaning in Sima Yue's eyes, Wang Yan knew that Sima Yue still wanted to know the current situation. He could only consider some good news in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said," Zhang Guang, the governor of Liang Province, has settled Hanzhong…"
Impatience appeared in Sima Yue's eyes as he stared at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan knew that he couldn't just tell her this irrelevant good news, so he could only say,""Schleswig didn't go to Luoyang, but instead sent troops to attack Xiangcheng."
Sima Yue wasn't surprised when he heard that. Instead, he nodded and pointed at me as if he had already known.
Wang Yan knew that Sima Yue was going to entrust his child to him. That's right, Mingyue was only five years old. Although she was already the size of an eight or nine-year-old child, she was still too young. Once Sima Yue passed away, who else could protect her other than Wang Yan's Wang family?
"Prime Minister, don't worry. I'll do my best to protect Princess Ming Yue. I won't let the Hu Krupp hurt her."
Sima Yue felt more than half of the stone in his heart fall. Suddenly, he thought of something, but he really did not have the strength. He could only spit out two words with difficulty,"Qingsun!"
"Qingsun?" Wang Yan asked, puzzled. What does Prime Minister mean?"
Sima Yue looked at me as I used my finger to point at the letter on the edge of the bed. I picked up the letter but didn't open it. I just looked at Sima Yue in confusion, not knowing what I meant.
Sima Yue saw me pick up the letter and pointed at Wang Yan. I understood and slowly walked to Wang Yan's side and respectfully handed the letter to him.
Wang Yan flipped through the letter and realized that it was a will written by Liu Yu. He suddenly remembered that Liu Yu had also given him a secret plan. He had kept it with him all this time and said that he could not open it unless it was an emergency. Now that the Prime Minister could pass away at any time and the Hu Krupp was about to catch up, it was an emergency. Thinking of this, Wang Yan immediately took out the secret plan he had kept with him and read it carefully. If anything happens to the Prime Minister, we can use the strategy of "killing Zhuge to save Sima".
This plan was made during the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhuge Liang, the Marquis of Wu, knew that he was about to die, so he kept his funeral a secret. He secretly let his subordinates escape back to Shu with their troops, thus preserving their strength. However, Sima Yi, the general of Wei, did not see any flaws. He was deceived by Zhuge Liang's death and did not send troops to chase after him. He missed the opportunity to wipe out the Shu army.
After reading it, Wang Yan read it out to Sima Yue. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with emotion. If Qingsun was still alive, how could these Hu Krupps be so arrogant?
Wang Yan could no longer calm down. He sobbed softly,"" Qingsun, Qingsun, why did the heavens kill my Qingsun?"
When I heard the secret plan they were talking about, I heard Wang Yan crying and calling out his teacher's name, and I looked at Sima Yue who was dying on the sickbed. I didn't know how to describe the sadness in my heart…
Sima Yue seemed to have noticed my gaze and looked at me with difficulty. His eyes were dim and complicated. All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and there was an indescribable reluctance…
On the evening of the 19th day of the 3rd lunar month, because of Sima Yue's wishes, I wasn't asked to go to the hospital today. Thus, I spent the entire day with Aunt Hong and Little Green.
I snuggled tightly in Aunty Hong's arms, my small mouth constantly eating the baked beans specially made by Aunty Hong, and I didn't forget to look at Little Green beside me happily.
Little Green looked at my happy face and was very happy. If only her mother was still alive. Unknowingly, tears began to flow out.
When I saw Xiao Lu crying, I ran over to hug her and gently shook her. I comforted her in a low voice,"Good sister, why are you crying? Come, I'll feed you some beans, hehe."
Xiao Lu was hugged by me and heard my sweet words. Her face immediately turned red. She knew the secret of my body and knew that I was actually a boy, so she seemed to be shy, but she couldn't bear to leave my embrace, so her face turned red.
Auntie Hong looked at the two of us and felt very happy. How long had it been? She could see Mingyue again, and now there was Little Green. What did the outside world have to do with her? She only wanted Mingyue to be well and to be with her forever. She was completely satisfied. Every night, she would wake up and look at the moon. She was really afraid that once she fell asleep, this child would disappear again. Only when he saw and touched Mingyue's sleeping face would he feel at ease.
The three of us gathered together and talked and laughed as we ate and talked about all kinds of strange things. We chatted happily.
Suddenly, the sound of crying outside the house shook the sky…
I was suddenly shocked. Could it be…
Aunty Hong also looked at me in surprise, then slowly looked outside the room.
Little Green also thought that it was the Prime Minister…After all, anyone could tell that the old man on the sickbed did not have much time left…
"The Lord is dead! The Lord is dead!" Such shouts came one after another, and the crying became more and more frequent…
On the 19th day of the 3rd month of the 311th year, Sima Yue, the Eastern Sea's King Xiaoxian, the Prime Minister and Grand Tutor of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the commander of all the military forces in the world, died…
mourning Hall
All the people in the mansion, all the ministers and generals who followed Sima Yue were dressed in plain white. Although I was a princess, the status of women in this era was too low, so I could only kneel at the end. Aunt Hong and Little Green could only kneel outside the mourning hall. The hosts of the ceremony were Sima Fan, the King of Xiangyang, and Wang Yan, the Grand Marshal.
How much of her crying was true?
This man whom I absolutely hated died just like that. He didn't leave any words behind. He stayed in bed for a few months before he finally passed away. I recalled many things. My father, my mother, and my body that was neither male nor female. However, I didn't know why I only felt sad and didn't have much hatred. I don't think it was because I was too kind, but because I was just a ghost who had reincarnated. Besides, I was already dead. What else could I do…
Once the ceremony was over, Wang Yan took off his white robe and ordered everyone to take it off. No one was allowed to go out or leak any information!
Wang Yan was the first to speak,"Now that the Prime Minister has passed away, the dragons cannot be without a leader. I recommend Sima Fan, the King of Xiangyang, as the commander."
Sima Fan didn't dare to take the initiative. He immediately cupped his hands at Wang Yan and said,""We will listen to Lord Grand Commandant. There is no need to delay. The Hu Krupp is already approaching. Lord Grand Commandant, please make a decision quickly."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Yan did not refuse and said,""Inform He Lun that Li Yun is serving Concubine Pei and the Crown Prince Sima Pi. He must quickly leave the east. We'll head to the East Sea now to avoid the Xiongnu's pursuit. After that, we'll bury the Prime Minister."
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
Wang Yan suddenly saw me in the crowd. His eyes were complicated.
I lowered my head and didn't look at him. I had lost my only support and couldn't go to Bingzhou anymore. Now, I could only follow Wang Yan. But what was my fate? From the exclusive property of princes to the exclusive property of scholar-bureaucrats? I could only smile bitterly in my heart…
"Liu Biao, where is Ran Zhan?" Wang Yan asked.
"I'm here!"
"General is here!"
Protect the princess well and leave with our troops. Don't get separated. If anything happens to the princess, you don't have to live anymore. Wang Yan's eyes were filled with coldness…
Just like that, we followed Wang Yan's troops and began our journey to Donghai.
Inside the carriage, Auntie Hong's face was filled with worry and panic. Xiao Lu wasn't any better, but as long as she followed me, she adapted pretty quickly.
I secretly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the marching troops outside. I was very emotional. They were displaced. In the past, they followed Sima Yue to fight in the north and south. Now, they had to follow Wang Yan and continue to be displaced. I was also calculating in my heart. Where would we eventually go? I think it should be Jiangnan. After all, it was the most peaceful place. If the Western Jin Dynasty was destroyed, wouldn't there still be the Eastern Jin Dynasty? But in my mind, there is no mention of Wang Yan in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why is that?？？I could only console myself that I wasn't a know-it-all and would definitely have missed something. Thinking of this, my mood improved again.
However, Wang Yan was not Zhuge Liang, after all. He could not control the news from leaking out at the first moment. Therefore, after someone heard the crying outside the residence, he reported the situation to the Hu Krupp's secret agents.。。。。。
20 miles outside Xiang City
Schleswig looked at the army in front of him. These people were all brave warriors who could fight against a hundred at once. The person who commanded this army was none other than him. The pride in his heart grew.
Zhang Bin rode his horse to Schleswig's side and said softly," Lord, it's reported that Sima Yue has passed away…"
Schleswig's eyes suddenly lit up and then dimmed. He slowly said,"It's a pity that I can't kill him personally…How is Xiang Cheng now?”
" Wang Yan has already led everyone and Sima Yue's coffin to the East Sea. "It's said that the troops are moving very slowly…" Zhang Bin hinted.
Schleswig laughed and said,"Hahaha, is a dead Zhuge the living Sima?" Haha, this time I want to act as a living Schleswig to catch Sima to death! Hahahaha."
Zhang Bin also laughed softly…
