The entire Longxi battle finally came to an end. The Wei army won a great victory. Not only did it recover the five counties in Longxi, but it also annihilated more than 70,000 people from the Shu army and Sima army, causing heavy damage to the enemy.

More importantly, the Wei army rushed into Longxi from Jieting in time, destroying Jiang Wei's plan to move people into Shu. If the Wei army was blocked by the Shu army and Jiang Wei could easily move hundreds of thousands of people in Longxi to Shuzhong, it would not only make a large area of ​​Longxi's land deserted and destroy the economy of Longxi, but also hundreds of thousands of people poured into Shu, which would increase the power of Shu and increase the difficulty of the future battle against Shu.

Wars were originally fought in population and economy. Without a huge population base and economic foundation, no matter how good the strategy was, it would be in vain.

Jiang Wei moved about 100,000 people away, and Longxi's losses were not too great. Cao Liang issued an order that after the Wei army entered Longxi, he would first post a notice of people's peace and security, so that the displaced people would return to their hometowns, and at the same time, exempt the five counties of Longxi from three years of taxes, allowing the people of Longxi to recuperate and restore Longxi's economy and people's livelihood.

War will have a difference between the two sides of the war, but there is no difference for ordinary people. Prosperity, suffering, destruction, suffering, and suffering of the people. The trauma caused by war will take a long time to heal.

Cao Liang is now the 195th emperor, and he knows better how to compassionate the people. Whenever the Wei army attacks a place, the first thing he must do is to restore social order and help ordinary people overcome difficulties. In the world, are the kings and the people who lead the land, and are the kings and ministers? Since these people are their own subjects, Cao Liang has no reason to displace them and get hungry and cold.

Cao Liang ordered the Wei army to take out a large amount of seized materials and distribute them to the people to survive this cold winter. After the cold winter, it is spring. Only spring can bring hope to the people and hope to the people.

Cao Liang asked the prefects and county magistrates who had just taken office to do the first thing they could do is to restore people's livelihood. They would never allow anyone to starve to death and freeze to death. They would do all their strength to maintain the minimum living standards of the people and overcome difficulties together.

After the retreat, what the Shu army and Sima army left Longxi was a place of disgrace. The Wei army had many difficulties in reconstruction after the war, but Cao Liang was confident that he would survive this cold winter and everything would be fine next year. As long as Longxi no longer experiences war, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the rivers are peaceful, the seas are peaceful, and it will not become empty talk.

After taking over the five counties of Longxi, Cao Liang made the attack on Shu a top-notch goal, but attacking Shu was a major plan for the country and needed to be discussed for a long time. If this matter is not urgent, it should not be urgent. He had to wait and see it slowly. Without three or five years of preparation time, he might not be able to take over Shu.

After all, Shu Kingdom has a dangerous mountain and river. In the history of the war between Wei and Shu Kingdom, although Shu Kingdom had more offensives, the Wei army also attacked Shu several times, but they all returned in a desperate situation and did not get any land.

The Qinling Mountains are like an insurmountable barrier between the two sides. The steep and difficult mountain road makes it a headache for both sides to send troops to attack, but on the contrary, it is extremely easy to defend. Therefore, after the attack on Shu is truly put on the agenda, Cao Liang needs to do a lot of preparations, which is not easy at all.

However, Cao Liang's eyes are still on Liangzhou. After taking down Longxi, the remaining power of the Sima family is still in Liangzhou. Eliminating this residual force has become a small target for Cao Liang.

The existence of Liangzhou was caused by Guo Huai. After Sima Lun surrendered to Shu, Guo Huai was unwilling to surrender. He and Sima Lun reached a settlement agreement. Guo Huai handed over the territory and food of the five counties in Longxi to Sima Lun, while Sima Lun let them west to Liangzhou and establish a new court.

Guo Huai fought with Shu Kingdom for many years and had deep hatred. Even if it was forced by the situation, he was unwilling to surrender to Shu Kingdom. What's more, he was also shouldering the heavy responsibility of Sima Zhao's orphanage to support Sima Yan, who surrendered to Shu Kingdom and surrendered to him. That would be a self-destruction. Even the banner of the Great Jin Dynasty could not be preserved. What else would he talk about the great cause of restoration?

So Guo Huai was unwilling to surrender to Shu no matter what. Even if Sima Lun used his army to suppress him, he would never surrender even if he fought with all his might. Sima Lun finally compromised and asked Guo Huai to leave food and territory, and take Sima Yan and his troops out.

Guo Huai's original intention was to take Sima Yan to Liangzhou, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and continue the Jin sacrificial sacrifice. Unfortunately, God did not protect his destiny. Before he arrived in Guzang, Guo Huai died of illness halfway through the journey. Although he entrusted state affairs to Fu Yu before he died, Fu Yu's reputation and ability were not enough to support the last sky of Jin State. He even dared not to handle the matter of supporting Sima Yan as emperor and continuing the sacrifice. Therefore, the remnant Jin forces in Liangzhou were weak and could not be an opponent of the Wei army.

Based on the principle of eliminating the roots and eliminating evil and cleansing, Cao Liang could not let go of Sima Yan and other remaining forces, and it was imperative to enter Liangzhou.

It was just in the middle of winter, and after the Battle of Longxi, the Wei army was also relatively tired, so Cao Liang did not rush for a moment and decided to launch an attack on Liangzhou after the beginning of spring next year.

………………………………………………………………

The news of the fall of Longxi reached Guzang, and the entire Liangzhou immediately fell into panic, everyone was in danger and was panic.

The remnant Jin forces were relatively content with Liangzhou. The reason why they could get a brief peace was because of the barrier of Longxi. If the Wei army wanted to attack Liangzhou, they had to cross the territory of Longxi. Therefore, before Longxi fell, they were completely peaceful.

This illusion of prosperity has caused many people in Liangzhou to have an illusion. This place seems to have become a paradise, a place beyond the world. The nobles who fled to Liangzhou with Sima Yan began a life of luxury again.

But Sima Yan was worried. As the heir to the throne, he should have ascended the throne after Sima Zhao's death, but Guo Huai, who originally supported him, died halfway. The successor Hu Yu seemed to be interested in restoring the Great Jin Dynasty. Sima Yan is now in the position of the crown prince, and it is really embarrassing.

In terms of age, Sima Yan was even a few years older than his younger uncle Sima Lun. But when Sima Lun was dominating the world, Sima Yan seemed to be a chick who was not well-versed in the world. He did nothing politically and militaryally, and just lived with the lingering shade of this big tree in the Sima family.

But with Sima Zhao's death, Sima Yan's last backer fell. In Liangzhou, where he was unfamiliar, the Sima Yan brothers were like duckweed, drifting with the flow in the vast ocean, with an uncertain future.
