Sizhou, Luoyang.,

"Your Majesty, the boat sent by Yanzhou Governor Yang Mao to welcome him has arrived at Luoshui. The Hu thief Liu Cong and Liu Yao are afraid that they will be invaded soon. At that time, Luoshuijin Ferry will be abandoned. Please make a decision quickly and move the capital to Cangyuan."

Sikong Xunfan was persuading Emperor Sima Chi to move the capital to Cangyuan, Yanzhou.

In fact, when King Sima Yue of Donghai led his army to the east, Emperor Sima Chi felt that it would be difficult for Luoyang to continue to stick to it. Especially after King Sima Yue of Donghai died of illness in Xiangcheng and the army of Xingtai was without a leader, Sima Chi was even more anxious to discuss with Sikong Xunfan, Prince's Grand Tutor Fu Fu and others, wanting to find countermeasures to deal with the precarious situation.

However, after the Princess of the East China Sea, the Crown Prince, and the Right Guard General He Lun led his followers to escape, Emperor Sima Chi changed his mind again.

Because after Sima Yue, the King of East China, died of illness and Luoyang's confidant gangsters fled, Emperor Sima Chi was no longer the puppet emperor. Now in Luoyang City, Sima Chi's orders can be issued and executed unimpeded. In particular, after the news that Liu Yu defeated Jiehu Shile in Ku County and beheaded tens of thousands of times, Emperor Sima Chi immediately felt that the situation in Luoyang was worthy of great potential.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang is a 300-year-old imperial city. There are more than 40,000 elite soldiers inside and outside Luoyang. If you easily abandon the ancestral temple and move the capital to the small town of Cangyuan, how can you be worthy of the hard work that Emperor Xuan has been doing since the past few generations? Please think twice."

As soon as Sikong and Xunfan finished speaking, King Sima Yan of Wu couldn't wait to express his opposition.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Luoyang is the imperial capital, how can you give it up easily?" King Jingling Sima Mao also disagreed with moving the capital Cangyuan.

The emperor Sima Chi, who sat in the middle, had no choice but to make a decision for a while, just hesitated and couldn't say a useful word.

"Although there are more than 40,000 troops inside and outside Luoyang, they are all exhausted and weak. If the barbarians attack, how can they stop it? The two sect kings must not be greedy for the wealth in the city, and they will hesitate." Sikong Xunfan said bluntly.

When King Sima Yan of Wu and King Sima Mao of Jingling heard this, they were both angry and hated Sikong Xun Fan's heart-breaking words, and even announced their true thoughts to the public.

"Mr. Xun, this is a bad word. The army inside and outside Luoyang is full of soldiers fighting for a long time. How can we say that we are tired and old? Besides, Mr. Xun thinks that Luoyang is a dragon pond, but I think that the Cangyuan is just a tiger's den." The emperor's close minister, Lu Qiu Chong, said, and bowed to Emperor Sima Chi and said.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Yanzhou, Yang Mao, was accompanied Wang Yue of Donghai County, and now he is in Qingzhou Liu Yu. The so-called move to the capital is nothing more than Qingzhou Liu Yu's trick to wait for Your Majesty's trick."

As soon as the Shangshu Lu Qiu Chong said this, Sikong Xun Fan's face changed immediately. If according to Lu Qiu Chong's statement, Liu Yu of Qingzhou and Yang Mao's plan to move the capital in Yanzhou were all trapped by Emperor Sima Chi, then as the third duke, Xun Fan would have become a powerful traitor who colluded with foreign ministers.

Before Xun Fan could come, his younger brother Xun Group, the Guanglu Dafu, immediately refuted Luqiu Chong.

"Absurd! Now there are no strong soldiers inside Luoyang and lack of support outside, moving the capital to Cangyuan is also a helpless choice. How come you can say that it has become an ulterior motive. Are Liu Yu and Yang Mao not the emperor's servants??"

Faced with Xun Group's fierce refutation, Lu Qiu Chong didn't care at all, and continued to say to Emperor Sima Chi.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Wu of Wei moved the capital to Xuchang by Emperor Han, which is only a hundred years ago."

Shangshu Luqiu immediately made Emperor Sima Chi's back chill, and he smiled embarrassedly with a reluctant smile.

"I just awarded the title of Liu Yu as Duke Qi and General, and I can be said to have met Long En, so Liu Jixing shouldn't have done this."

Although Sima Chi said this, his tone was full of suspicion.

"Liu Yu was born into a bandit, and he must be a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit. Even if Your Majesty adds it with honor, it is difficult to win his heart." King Sima Mao of Jingling immediately said coldly.

"Your Majesty treated Liu Yu with his wife. Did the Emperor of Han treat Wei Wu with his wife?!" Shangshu Luqiu said indifferently.

"Besides, the Cao family had several generations of Han ministers, and the three dukes also had the position of the three dukes. However, once they held the emperor in hand, they were tyrannical and ruling, so how could they remember the kindness of the Han Dynasty?" King Sima Yan of Wu was also not optimistic about the prospect of moving the capital.

"At that time, the Emperor of Han was poor in Luoyang. If it weren't for Wei Wuying Xuchang, the Han Dynasty would have been cut off at that time. Now Luoyang is in danger, especially at that time. Do you want to put Your Majesty in a desperate situation?"

Sikong Xunfan said angrily.

Xun Fan knew very well about these people.

The so-called reasons are all that they will not shed tears without seeing the coffin. As long as the Huns and Huns do not attack Luoyang City for a day, these people will be reluctant to give up the huge wealth and Chinese houses in the city.

Sikong Xunfan's words only changed to the King of Wu and others' avoidance.

"Mr. Xun, I think it's better to slow down the capital. Now that Shi Le is defeated, all the prefectures and counties in various places will be greatly excited. According to my opinion, it's better to reward the states and demonstrate the court's kindness and call on loyal and righteous people to work hard on the royal family, which is also the best strategy."

Seeing this, Taichang Huahui immediately came out to maintain the situation.

Discussing the secrets and old stories of Cao Wei’s replacing the Han Dynasty in the Jin court has always been an embarrassing thing, because it reminds people of the hidden things in the Jin Dynasty’s replacing the Wei Dynasty in the future.

After hearing Taichang Huahui's suggestion, Emperor Sima Chi immediately expressed his agreement.

"What Hua Qing said is very consistent with my wish. Luoyang should not be abandoned lightly. It is also a great act of good. It is better to do it as it is like this."

After hearing this, Sikong Xunfan disagreed. This so-called call for loyalty and righteousness to come to Beijing to serve the king was not unsuccessful. Except for Zhang Gui, Liangzhou, who sent the "Liangzhou Malaysia", the rest of the states did not even send a ghost.

However, Xun Fan knew that the emperor had refused to move the capital, and no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he simply kept silent.

In the end, even Taichang Huahui proposed to stick to the matter of seeking help, but no final result was agreed.

Because King Sima Yan and others all felt that the emperor Sima Chi had given Liu Yu too much reward.

Now it is difficult to grasp the size of rewards for Wang Jun of Youzhou, Liu Kun of Bingzhou and others. If you cannot master the balance method well, it will only increase the grudges of the states towards the emperor.

When Sikong Xunfan and his younger brother Xun Group ended the court meeting and returned to the mansion, the sons and nephews of Xun who had been waiting at home were all concerned about the results.

"The emperor is deceived by a group of rats and is unwilling to move the capital." Xun Group sighed and said.

"Ah?!How does this make?"

Xun Song, who was the Central Guard, was immediately shocked when he heard this.

"Uncle, there has just been a secret report in front of him. The king of the Hulu Kingdom, Liu Cong, has ordered Liu Yao, Hu Yanyan and others to gather their troops. I am afraid that in about a month, we will come to attack Luoyang again. How can we defend the old and weak soldiers inside and outside Luoyang now?"

Xun Song, the so-called Central Guard, one of the commanders of the Luoyang Central Army, understands the military strength inside and outside the capital.

After Sima Yue and He Lun led their troops to flee twice, the armies inside and outside Luoyang could be regarded as the elite troops that could be fought, namely the two forces of the Central Guard and the Central Leader.

Although the remaining soldiers and horses are as many as 30,000 to 40,000, they are all old and weak, and even defending the city may not be useful.

What's more, because of the shortage of food in Luoyang City, these troops had to be scattered to nearby passes and cities to guard them separately. Once they encountered the embattle of the Hu army, they would probably be even more vulnerable.

"The emperor's will has been decided, and I have no choice but to do anything." Xun Fan said worriedly.

"But fortunately, Liu Jixing had just defeated Shi Le, and he could still get some support east of Luoyang. Maybe this time the Hulu's attack will be repelled." Xun Group said in a comforting tone.

"But, I heard that after Liu Yu defeated Shi Le, he led the remnants of the Taiwan Strait back north and did not have any plans to assist Luoyang." Xun Kui, who had always been in charge of contacting Liu Yu in Qingzhou, was most concerned about the movements of the Qingzhou army.

"The boat sent by Liu Yu has arrived in Luoshui. He must have thought that the emperor could move the capital to Yanzhou, so he returned." Xun Fan said.

When the Xun family members knew that the emperor had moved the capital unintentionally, they were all at a loss. They should know that the barbarians were all cavalry and their rushing forward were their best. Once there was a major change in Luoyang and they might not be able to succeed.

"Uncle, what should I do now?" asked Xun Song, the Central Guardian. As the Central Guardian, he was most familiar with the internal and external armies, and was also the most pessimistic about the situation in Luoyang.

"No matter what the war is going on, you must first order people to get off the carriage and horses quietly, waiting for urgent use. Now, as soon as possible, send the women and children from each room to Yanzhou with the boats sent by Yang Mao." Xun Fan said softly.

"Why not send it to Yingchuan? If these families fall into Liu Yu's hands, wouldn't they become hostages?" Xun Song said in surprise.

Sikong Xunfan sighed and said.

"Now Liu Jixing first defeated Jiehu, then collected the troops in Taiwan, and controlled the two states, and had already become the capital of kings and dominances."

"Now the emperor is blinded by some villains who are greedy for money and trapped in a desperate situation. Once Luoyang is in danger, the world will be in a battle."

"My Yingchuan Xun family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and cannot be defeated with these greedy and foolish people."

Sikong Xun Fan's words were all very truthful words that only relatives could tell. After hearing this, everyone in the Xun family, Xun Song, Xun Kui and others nodded in agreement.

"Yingchuan is in the world, and the four battles will surely continue to fight. It is better to let the clans of the Xiangzhong family move out as soon as possible. Well, don't go to Liu Yu and divide them into several small clans to go to Jiangdong. Wang Rui and Wang Dao of Langya are old friends of my Xun family, so they will definitely not treat them unfairly."

Everyone was worried about Xun Fan's arrangement.

Just as the Xun family members were discussing how to distribute the clan to move, a clan of Xun Fan suddenly ran in from outside with a panic expression.

"What happened?!" Xun Fan felt a stern when he saw this.

"Uncle, something is wrong."

When everyone in Xun heard this, they looked nervous and didn't know what had happened, which made him so panic.

"Someone just escaped from Yangcheng."

"The rebel king Mi defeated the army led by the Princess of Donghai and the prince in Yangcheng. The 100,000 troops were wiped out. All the forty kings of the royal family were destroyed in the chaos. I don't know how to live or die!"

As soon as this statement came out, the Xun family, led by Sikong Xunfan, were shocked.

Not only did the forty kings of the Jin royal family not know their lives or death, but also because they were 100,000 people and Wang Mi could quickly fight and annihilate them, so how powerful his soldiers were.

"Yangcheng!? Didn't Wang Mi compete with Gou Xi in Nanyang? Why did he suddenly appear in Yangcheng?" Xun Song, the central guard, immediately asked in surprise.

"All of them are rebels, most of them are in a mess." Xun Kui guessed.

"Hurry, change my clothes! I'm going to go to the palace to meet the emperor."

When Sikong Xunfan heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said with a heartache.

"Wang Mi comes from the east and will inevitably cut off the passage of Luoshui. Even if the emperor wants to leave at that time, he will not be able to leave!"

Xun Fan said that he was about to get up to change his crown and uniform to meet the emperor. As soon as he got up, his younger brother Xun Group pulled his sleeve and said.

"The emperor's clan's close servants are all fools, and the emperor favors him the most, so it is probably in vain."

The Xun Group knew how huge the wealth of these people in Luoyang City was. If these royal ministers who wanted money and life were willing to give up their wealth in advance, they would probably have to use swords to put them on their necks, otherwise they would not be scared by the giant bandit Wang Mi hundreds of miles away.

"Alas, even though that is the case, the Xun family has received great titles and salaries from the Jin family. The matter of loyalty to the emperor cannot be cut off."

Xun Fan's face was full of helplessness and determination.

"If the emperor insists on his own, I will be worthy of my conscience."

An hour later, Sikong Xunfan returned with a lonely expression.

As soon as he saw everyone, Xun Fan said.

"Although the emperor is moved, the royal family members are still greedy for money, and it is impossible to do so."

When everyone in Xun heard this, they all agreed not to speak.

"Daojian, you will escort the children in each room and take a boat to Yanzhou."
