Chapter 1022: Hedong County
Sima Yi's identity is so noble, naturally Sima Yi's funeral can not be sloppy, even the son of heaven Cao Fang personally came to Sima Mansion to mourn, and gave nine tin to Sima Yi, posthumously sealed the country, the county duke, and issued an edict to the world, in order to show Sima Yi's merits.
Sima Yi died in August Wuyin of the third year of Jiaping, Gengshen in September, and was buried in Shouyang Mountain, which is the mausoleum of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen, and Sima Yi was buried here, but there is the intention of following the first emperor.
The funeral was naturally grand, and the city was full of vegetarians, but the original golden autumn season has become a snow-white world, which makes people suspect that winter has come.
And the news of Sima Yi's death, like having wings, spread in all directions in a short period of time, not only the people in Wei got the news, but even Wu and Shu also knew the news.
It can be said that the news of Sima Yi's death is no less than the death of the Son of Heaven, and the shock caused by it is also unprecedentedly strong.
And Cao Liang, who was in Bingzhou, should be the one who got the news relatively early, such a major news, the Bingzhou Army lurking in Luoyang naturally had to transmit the news back to Bingzhou as soon as possible.
At this moment, Cao Liang did not return to Jinyang, but came to Hedong in person to inspect this newly descended land.
Cao Liang is no stranger to Hedong, when he was edicted to crusade against the Huns, it was the soldiers recruited in Hedong, the fifth school of the Northern Army at that time, was still a weak army, Cao Liang recruited a large number of warriors through Hedong, so as to take the first step to dominate the world.
Now that he has returned to Hedong, Cao Liang not only has no sense of strangeness, but on the contrary, he also has a more familiar sense of intimacy, and the soldiers under him who were born in Hedong have a feeling of returning home.
Many of the ordinary soldiers who followed Cao Liang's northern expedition to the Huns, now most of them have been promoted, Cao Liang governed the army, never based on birth and seniority, as long as you have enough military merits, you will get the corresponding position, heroes never ask where they come from, those soldiers with outstanding military achievements, even have the position of captain and Sima, the most unfortunate, can also mix a Dubo team rate, this time the glory returned to his hometown, there is really a feeling of raising eyebrows.
Among them, the most important purpose is naturally Wang Jun, who once served as Hedong, this time he marched from Shangdang, went straight to Anyi, and took Sima's nest in Hedong, forcing Sima Jun to leave in the wilderness, and he walked in a very hurry, and he didn't even have the opportunity to harm the people of Hedong.
At this time, Wang Jun was already a general of Changshui, and when he returned to Anyi, Wang Jun was welcomed by the people of Hedong, and the scene was extremely grand.
It is precisely because Cao Liang deliberately arranged for Wang Jun to return to Hedong that the situation in Hedong can be quickly calmed down, and the people of Hedong are all in their hearts, which also makes Zhang Tong, who has just taken office, a lot of peace of mind.
Hedong is a rich land, it is one of the three rivers of Sili, is an important barrier to defend Luoyang, Cao Liang's capture of Hedong, is a very important strategic role.
There is the danger of the Yellow River in the east and west and south of the river, the east is the dangerous Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain, and the traffic with Hanoi is only a dangerous road in Yiguan Road, because Hedong County has been controlled in the hands of Sima Jun, so the threat to the state is particularly large, and now the Hedong is taken, it is equivalent to the threat of the state is not only lifted, but because Hedong County has the danger of mountains and rivers, the defense capability of the state in the south has been greatly enhanced, and it has the strongest line of defense for the defense system of the state.
Moreover, Hedong is close to Luoyang, after Cao Liang takes Hedong, he can attack and retreat, but it is a threat to Luoyang, if Cao Liang's military strength is strengthened again, it is not a shortcut to send troops from Hedong to Luoyang south.
How to integrate the resources of Hedong can effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the team, Cao Liang attaches great importance to Hedong County, so after capturing Hedong this time, Cao Liang did not rush to return to Jinyang, but stayed in Hedong for a long time.
However, Sima's military was newly defeated, and it was impossible to organize forces to launch an attack in a short period of time, which won Cao Liang a lot of time to redeploy the defense of Hedong.
Although Hedong County has the danger of mountains and rivers on the surface, but it is not invulnerable, take the Yellow River natural danger as an example, such ferries as Pubanjin, from west to east, there are as many as more than ten places, these ferries, may become a breakthrough when Sima Jun attacks, so Cao Liang wants to make a fuss about the defense of Hedong County, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of these ferries, and do not give Sima Jun any opportunity to take advantage of.
This time the retreat of the Sima army was very hasty, they fled all the way south from Jiexiu, and almost did not pass through any city, among which the two county towns of Pingyang and Anyi they wanted to enter, but they were occupied by the Bingzhou army first, and had to go around the city.
As for the other small counties, they have every chance to enter, but the chasing soldiers of Bingzhou are bitten behind them, and they are not given the opportunity to leave the city to take a breather, and Sima Shi also knows that these small cities, whether it is city defense or grain and grass reserves, are unable to meet the needs of the army, once Sima Jun enters the city, it will be put in danger, and the safest way is to evacuate Hedong as soon as possible.
Therefore, after the retreat of the Sima army, all the cities in the two counties of Hedong changed hands intact, and even those county commanders and other officials surrendered to Cao Liang intact.
didn't dare to stand up and fight against Cao Liang, after all, Sima's army of more than 100,000 people was wiped out, and there were still people who dared to disagree with Cao Liang at this time, so wasn't the birthday guy hanging himself - is it a long life?
So before the state army could take over these cities, the officials from the original counties rushed to Anyi and surrendered on their own initiative.
In fact, this is not a surrender, most of these officials are appointed by the imperial court, not by Sima Yi, and regardless of Sima Yi or Cao Liang, the banner they are playing now is also the banner of the Great Wei State, these officials rushed to Anyi, more of them are subordinate to Cao Liang, to show loyalty to Cao Liang, anyway, they are also officials for the Wei court, and there is no psychological burden on those who are obedient.
Cao Liang did not carry out a major change of officials in Hedong County, but retained most of the people, which played a considerable role in maintaining the stability of the situation in Hedong.
Just when Cao Liang Ancheng deployed the defense of Hedong and handed over the power of Hedong to Zhang Tong, and he was about to return to Jinyang, news suddenly came from Luoyang that Sima Yi was dead!
