In fact, when Sima Lun evacuated Huainan, he had already written a letter to Sima Shi and sent the letter to Luoyang with a speeding stairs of 600 miles. Before Sima Lun arrived in Luoyang, Sima Shi had known about his actions long ago.

Therefore, when Sima Lun appeared in front of Sima Shi, Sima Shi was not surprised at all. The only surprise was that Sima Lun came back earlier than he had imagined. He traveled thousands of miles a long journey and returned to Luoyang in such a short time. It can be seen that Sima Lun had a very hard journey.

As for the reason for the withdrawal, Sima Lun had already told Sima Shi in detail in the letter. Sima Lun had agreed with Sima Lun's plan. Indeed, the current situation no longer focuses on the gains and losses of a city and a place. From the overall situation, Sima Lun's actions are very correct. This time the only remaining team will become the key to the battle to defend Luoyang.

However, when Sima Lun launched his latest plan and the market, Sima Shi couldn't be stunned, and he was enough to shock his chin.

Because Sima Lun proposed a plan that was completely shocking, that was to give up Luoyang and retreat to Guanzhong.

Seeing the extremely surprised Sima Shi, Sima Lun looked calm. Although Sima Lun did not mention this plan to anyone, it had been brewing in his stomach for a long time. Even when he left Huainan, Sima Lun had already started to consider this issue.

Although Luoyang is located in the abdomen of the Central Plains, its biggest disadvantage is that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. There are as many as twelve passes around Luoyang, which means that at least twelve roads lead to Luoyang. With such a dense transportation network, it is very difficult to defend.

Sima Shi was determined to defend Luoyang, so he withdrew from Yanzhou and dug the Yellow River embankment in the sour jujube, creating a tragic yellow flood zone. He had only one goal, that is, to block the Bingzhou army's way westward and prepare for the battle in Luoyang.

But the Yellow Flood Zone can block the Bingzhou Army in the east. However, if the Bingzhou Army launches an attack on Luoyang from the north or south, the defense situation in Luoyang is still quite serious, because the Bingzhou Army can complete the crossing of the river in Baima. Similarly, it can also cross the Yellow River in Mengjin or Xiaopingjin. The natural danger of the Yellow River may be an insurmountable natural danger for others, but for Cao Liang, it seems like walking in the garden and is easy. Sima Shi really has no idea how to defend Luoyang.

However, as the capital of Luoyang, the importance of its status is self-evident. Under the unprecedented circumstances, Sima Shi still found it difficult to make up his mind to give up.

However, Sima Lun had a clear understanding of the situation in Luoyang and pointed out incisively that Luoyang is a place of four battles. If Sima's army controls Henoi in the north, holds Yu in the east, and attaches Jingzhou in the south, and embraces Guanzhong in the west, they can defend it. Unfortunately, all three sides have been lost now, only Guanzhong is still left, and the other three sides have been lost. In this way, Luoyang will be surrounded by the Bingzhou army. No matter how long Luoyang can hold, it will still be unable to escape the defeat in the end. Therefore, Sima Lun believes that if the failure is constantly broken, he will suffer the chaos. Taking advantage of the fact that the Bingzhou army has not yet formed an encirclement, the Luoyang defenders will retreat to Guanzhong in the west. With a dangerous pass like Tongguan Wuguan, defend the 800-mile Qinchuan land, and wait until the situation in the world changes in the future, and then try to counterattack.

Sima Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Jingzhou? Brother has already replied to Wang Chang and agreed to his withdrawal of troops. If the Jingzhou army is helped, it will not be difficult to defend the southern line of Luoyang, right?"

Sima Lun said bluntly: "It's too late! After I arrived in Xinye, if Wang Chang was willing to obey and withdrew his troops, he might have a chance to bring his troops back to Luoyang, but he didn't have the courage and courage, and he insisted on asking his brother for a military order. Unfortunately, Cao Liang would not give him any chance. When his brother's military order was sent to Jingzhou, Wang Chang was already defeated, so brothers should not count too much on the people along the way in Jingzhou."

Sima Shi was silent for a moment. Although all the superiors liked obedient and loyal subordinates, such subordinates often lacked the ability to change their power and were difficult to make decisions when doing things. On the battlefield, fighter opportunities change rapidly, and many opportunities are fleeting. Sima Lun was able to judge the situation and retreat in time, so that the Huainan army could avoid losses.

If Sima Lun saw that the situation was not good at that time and asked Luoyang for instructions and then acted, the daylily would probably be cold.

In the same situation, Wang Chang lacked courage. Even though Sima Lun had persuaded him to withdraw his troops, he was still afraid of taking responsibility and had to write to Luoyang to withdraw his troops if he had to obtain Sima Shi's approval.

Even if Sima Shi gave a reply in time, he was afraid that it would be too late and there would be no more opportunities if he missed them.

Although there has not been a war report from Jingzhou, Sima Lun has seen through everything. Wang Chang is over and Jingzhou is over. Sima Shi still has fantasies about Wang Chang? Let's throw it away as soon as possible.

Sima Shi said: "I heard that you have stayed the Huainan Army in Nanyang, are you ready to retreat west?"

Sima Lun said: "Of course, when Nanyang goes west, it is Wuguan. When I enter the capital this time, I want to persuade my brother to go down and evacuate Luoyang early. However, the matter is very important and complicated. It is not easy to evacuate Luoyang in a short time. I will place 100,000 Huainan troops in Nanyang, build high towers and dig deep trenches, so that I can block the invading Bingzhou army. Before my brother and the court have evacuated Luoyang, they must fight to the death. We must not let the Bingzhou army cross the mine and retreat to Wuguan again, it is not too late."

The speed of the Bingzhou Army's advance is the fastest in the world, especially the speed of the Bingzhou cavalry is unparalleled. Of course, Sima Lun would not expect Wang Chang to defeat Cao Liang, but at least it can play a role. It is best to delay the speed of the Bingzhou Army and create some time for the evacuation of Sima's army and the court.

However, that belated order was obviously lost. Sima Lun could not make a conclusion whether Wang Chang was dead or alive, but there was no need to doubt the combat power of Cao Liang's army. This time, the Bingzhou army marched into Jingzhou, and Wang Chang had no chance at all. As for whether to die or surrender, it depends on Wang Chang's loyalty.

But if we expect Wang Chang to block the Bingzhou Army's attack, it would be a completely extravagant hope. Sima Lun has long had no hope for Wang Chang. Since Wang Chang rejected his suggestion, Sima Lun has expected that he would never have the chance to return to Luoyang.

Wang Chang's defeat made the situation in Luoyang even more serious, and the matter of moving the capital was even more imminent.
