Chapter 561 Huan Yi Dies in Battle
In another timeline, Sima Rui, after his outburst of rage, was hoarse and pale, managing to utter only a few words with difficulty: "Could all of this have been avoided...?"
Upon hearing this, the ministers were speechless for a moment. Indeed, to a large extent, it was because Yu Liang insisted that Su Jun come to Jiankang!
They've already said we could go and resist the barbarians, but they insist on hitting a brick wall and refusing to turn back!
They're still afraid of Tao Kan? What a load of rubbish! I've never heard Lin Ke mention any rebellion by Tao Kan!
As it turned out, Jiankang fell, and he fled! Who knows what will happen to the young emperor? Things are different now; the old trick of using the emperor to command the nobles no longer works!
……
Lin Ke, on the other side, shook her head. It was Yu Wenjun's bad luck to have such an older brother and uncle. At the time, she was only in her early thirties.
"Next, Yu Liang, who had fled, arrived at Wen Qiao's place in Xunyang, but due to insufficient troops, he planned to join forces with Tao Kan."
"However, when Yu Liang was in power, he had some disagreements with Tao Kan, but with a formidable enemy at hand, Tao Kan still agreed, and Xi Jian also responded, and together they raised an army to attack Su Jun."
"Although this process was quite eventful, on the other side, Jiankang City, it still had to be Director Wang."
"He obtained a secret edict from the Empress Dowager from who-knows-where, ordering the soldiers and civilians of the Three Wu regions to organize a rebel army to rescue Emperor Cheng of Jin."
"Because Wen Qiao, Tao Kan and others had previously issued proclamations to punish the rebels, the officials and people of the Sanwu region and its surrounding counties were already indignant. Now, with the addition of official documents, they have been responding even more enthusiastically."
Sima Rui breathed a sigh of relief. With these troops, Jiankang could be saved!
People before the Jin Dynasty had some doubts: if a general like Yu Liang, who was described as "incompetent and caused the deaths of his entire army," would the campaign against the rebels have been smooth sailing?
The live broadcast continues.
"Therefore, the Western Army, composed of Tao Kan, Wen Qiao, and others, launched an attack towards Su Jun."
"On the other hand, in response, there was the Eastern Army composed of Wang Shu, Yu Bing, Yu Tan and others from the Sanwu region, thus forming a pincer attack."
"But Su Jun's army was originally a group of refugees. The fact that he was able to become a commander and gather people in Guangling after the Yongjia Rebellion shows that he was no ordinary person."
"The two armies are locked in a stalemate at Stone City. The Eastern Army, a hastily assembled militia, is no match for the rebel army that has been fighting in Jiangbei for years. They cannot defeat the Eastern Army in the short term."
"Meanwhile, in Guangde, Huan Yi was not having an easy time. Many people in the surrounding counties had surrendered to Su Jun. In the long run, if they did not surrender, they had no choice but to die for their country."
"Although Huan Yi himself did not surrender, it did not mean that others also loved the Great Jin deeply. Jiang Bo, the magistrate of Jing County at the time, chose to join the rebels and pave the way for them, which led to Huan Yi's death."
"At that time, Huan Wen was fifteen years old. He slept with his sword as a pillow and wept blood. Every day that he had not avenged his great enemy, the flame of revenge burned in his heart!"
"Huan Wen is no pushover. Jiang Bo has really messed with him!"
The choice between surrendering or dying for one's country was, in the eyes of officials of various dynasties, a matter that varied from person to person, even though the Jin Dynasty's bad reputation was a well-known fact.
However, it must be admitted that they still admired Huan Yi's patriotic actions, were grateful for Huan Wen's revenge for his father, and were ashamed of Jiang Bo's betrayal and Yu Liang's cunning maneuvering...
The greater the enemy at hand, the more the edifice is on the verge of collapse, the more the differences between people become apparent.
