Chapter 522 The Tragic State of Luoyang
Sima Yan, who had been repeatedly scolded, smiled awkwardly. He touched his burning ears and wondered why there were so many people scolding him!
If Lin Ke heard this internal monologue, she would probably give him a look that says, "Be more confident! Remove 'not the second half of the sentence' and replace it with 'definitely a ton'!"
Meanwhile, in the Three Kingdoms era
Cao Cao couldn't even laugh at this moment. The Wuhuan people, whom he had once suppressed, had actually turned the tables and become the masters!
How did Sima Ying manage to raise his central army? A single swift attack and they were utterly routed!
He had considered that the Central Army was incompetent, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad. Indeed! How could the Sima family, who would think of involving barbarians in the civil war of the Central Plains, possibly be of sound mind?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao walked to the window, looked outside, and sighed deeply. The Central Plains are in danger!
Lin Ke's voice was calm and unhurried, which brought Cao Cao back to his senses, and he continued listening to the live broadcast.
"After wreaking havoc in Ye City, Wang Jun returned to his hometown of Youzhou. Oh right, where is Sima Yong, who was all over the place earlier? Why didn't he appear in this part?"
"It turns out that this guy had already received Sima Ying's distress signal, and he also sent the incompetent Zhang Fang to lead 20,000 men to Ye City for rescue."
"Sima Ying and his group, before Zhang Fang arrived, were already on the verge of fleeing for their lives. Was it a coincidence or an unfortunate one? The two groups met in Luoyang City."
"After that, Zhang Fang raised the emperor's banner and ordered more than 10,000 cavalry to welcome Emperor Sima Zhong. Then came another great disaster for Luoyang."
"Zhang Fang's army killed, burned, looted, and plundered in the city, wantonly plundering the people's money. They didn't even spare Jia Nanfeng's tomb."
"How is this any different from the atrocities committed by Dong Zhuo and others back then? If you calculate the time, there is only a hundred years between the two, yet there has been turmoil after turmoil, with no peace and quiet."
Dong Zhuo: Don't mention it.
"Not long after, the soldiers who had finished looting were eager to return home and clamored to move west. Zhang Fang also had this idea, so he wanted to invite Sima Zhong out of the palace."
"But Sima Zhong politely declined! This infuriated Zhang Fang; did he really think he was something special?"
"So Zhang Fang led his troops directly into the palace, dragged Sima Zhong out from the bamboo grove in the back garden, and then took him into his own camp."
Zhang Fang: Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!
"Actually, Zhang Fang isn't a bad person. He's exceptional, exceptionally, exceptionally inhumanly evil, with a bloodthirsty nature, on par with Wang Jun."
"After his troops left, Luoyang was left empty. Records indicate that even a tasseled military tent was used by his soldiers to pad their horses."
"The people of Luoyang are truly miserable. They are robbed every now and then. Dong Zhuo is infamous for all time, and these people are no less so."
"On the other hand, Sima Ying at this time had neither an emperor nor troops. He was no longer the glorious Crown Prince he once was. As the saying goes, a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. He was the same, a stray dog."
"His fate was sealed the moment Sima Yong gained the support of Emperor Sima Zhong."
"On a certain day in that year, Sima Zhong issued an edict, which detailed Sima Ying's crimes and claimed that the chaos in the world was all due to Sima Ying."
"It is obvious who the mastermind behind this is: he abolished Sima Ying's status as Crown Prince and installed Sima Chi, the Prince of Yuzhang, as Crown Prince in his place."
"During the second phase of the War of the Eight Princes, Sima Yan actually fathered quite a few children, a total of twenty-five."
"But now, only Sima Ying, Sima Chi, and Sima Yan remain. They're almost all dead. Is this what Sima Yan hoped to see when he enfeoffed the princes?"
Yuan Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty: No matter how many children Sima Yan could have, he couldn't withstand his father who was digging a pit for them!
Cao Cao, the Boss: This is retribution for the Sima family! They dug their own grave...
General Judy: Sima Zhong actually survived so many upheavals and turmoil; he was born to be a puppet!
Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty: I'd rather be dead! Trapped in a chaotic world, and this isn't the end of it!
Liu Zhuzhu of the Great Han Dynasty: I already have a headache with the feudal lords, but I didn't expect someone to insist on joining them!
