The thirteenth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty (AD 252), July 19th.
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
Xuanshi Hall.
Liu Chan frowned when he saw a bunch of reports on the war against Wu, especially the three armies south of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. To this day, they still maintain a confrontation with the Soochow soldiers.
Although the naval forces came with Qin King Liu Tan and brought rocket launchers, they fought several battles with Quan Cong and sank more than 20 warships of the Wu army.
However, the navy was still in Gangneung at this time.
"What is the King of Qin doing?" Liu Chan slammed the battle report on the table and roared: "Quan Cong can't retreat to fight, so the King of Qin doesn't know how to use a rocket launcher to beat him out?"
"Father!" Prince Liu Chen said, "Brother Huang has tried, but Quan Cong is within a few hundred steps in front of the water village. There are hidden stakes everywhere, making it difficult for our warships to pass."
"Hidden stakes?" Liu Chan glanced at the report. It was indeed mentioned in it, but he still said a little unhappy: "Could it be that Wu Jun set up hidden stakes and our army stopped advancing?"
"Father, don't be upset?" Liu Chen continued: "Brother Huang has been fighting with his father for many years, so he will definitely be able to think of a countermeasure."
Although Liu Chan was anxious, he was not on the front line now and did not know the specific situation on the front line. After hearing Liu Chen's words, he could only sigh helplessly.
Then Liu Chan suddenly asked Liu Chen out of curiosity: "How is Cao Wei doing now?"
Cao Fang killed Sima Yi and his son, and Sima Zhao took advantage of the situation to raise troops to attack Luoyang. This matter is no longer a secret and everyone in the world knows it.
When he first heard the news, Liu Chan thought it was Sima Yi using another trick.
But soon the spies from Luoyang also sent back their news to Chang'an. Sima Yi was indeed killed by Cao Fang, and Sima Zhao was indeed rebelled.
After hearing the news, Liu Chan regretted attacking Wu.
If I had known that Cao Wei would be in chaos, if I had known that Cao Fang would kill Sima Yi, then I, the big man, could take the opportunity to go east and destroy Cao Wei in one fell swoop.
But——
It's too late to regret now. Nearly 300,000 Han troops have already entered Soochow territory. Even if Cao and Wei are in chaos at this time, it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty not to be able to use their hands to destroy Wei.
Because even though the Han Dynasty is now powerful, it is difficult to open two battlefields at the same time.
This is fighting, not playing house.
A military expedition is not just as simple as charging into battle. Logistics supplies, intelligence collection, etc. all require a lot of manpower and material resources to handle.
The current war against Wu has mobilized the entire Han Dynasty.
If we start another battle to destroy Wei.
Haha——
The big man really can’t bear it.
Although he regretted not seizing this opportunity to defeat Wei, Liu Chan was actually quite happy. That is, the biggest winner of the Three Kingdoms in history was actually taken care of by Cao Fang.
The Three Kingdoms in history were finally unified by Sima Yi's grandson, Sima Yan, and established a short-lived unified dynasty - the Western Jin Dynasty.
But now the world has been reversed.
Adou, who could not afford to be supported, changed the direction of living in a corner of Shu Han by virtue of his identity as a time traveler, and became the most powerful country among the Three Kingdoms.
The story of six expeditions from Qishan and nine expeditions to the Central Plains will never happen again in this world. Cao Wei cannot unify the three kingdoms. Even if Sima Yi is as resourceful as Zhuge Liang, he cannot do it.
However, what surprised Liu Chan was.
Cao Fang Niubi.
In history, Cao Fang actually didn't do much because he was too young when he ascended the throne. He became emperor at the age of seven. At first, he was assisted by Cao Shuang. Later, after the Gaoping Ling Incident, Sima Yi fell to Sima Yi for all the affairs of the government.
In the hands of father and son.
Cao Fang, a puppet ear.
Later, he was deposed as emperor by Sima Shi and replaced him with Cao Mao, Duke of Gaoxiang.
However, this is the original Cao Fang in history.
Cao Fang in this world today has done something different.
Because Cao Rui lived a few more years, Cao Fang was already fifteen years old when he ascended the throne.
At the age of fifteen, in this era, you can become a father.
In the first few years, he still chose to lie down and leave the government affairs to General Cao Shuang. However, after the Gaoping Ling Incident, Cao Fang changed.
He actually planned to kill the arrogant and talented Sima Yi.
Niubi! Niubi! Niubi!
...
Hearing this, Liu Chen said calmly: "Back to my father, after Sima Zhao broke through the siege, he led the remaining thousands of horses and fled all the way to the southwest..." After saying that, he paused, frowned slightly, and shook his head:
"Its whereabouts are now unknown...perhaps hidden in nearby mountains and forests..."
"Is Luocao a bandit?" Liu Chan said casually.
The once glorious Sima family ended up in this situation... Sigh... It's all my fault that I traveled through time, otherwise how could the Sima family be like this... Liu Chan secretly laughed in his heart.
While the father and son were chatting, a eunuch slowly walked in.
"Your Majesty! The imperial censor Zeng Shu asked for an audience!"
"Pass!"
Zeng Shu was the number one scholar in the first scientific examination and won the trust of Liu Chan. Whether he was on a mission to Cao Wei or in governing the country, he had some outstanding qualities.
Now that the Prime Minister is attacking Wu, Zeng Shu has helped Liu Chan a lot with many matters in the court.
SNSD——
Zeng Shu walked into the Xuanshi Hall and first greeted Liu Chan and Prince Liu Chen. After some courtesy, Zeng Shu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Sima Zhao has arrived at Wuguan."
"What?"
Hearing this, Liu Chan and Liu Chen were both stunned.
Liu Chen was still saying just now that Sima Zhao might have gone into seclusion in the mountains to avoid trouble. Liu Chan also thought that after Sima Zhao's defeat, he would just fall into the trap of becoming a bandit.
But——
How did he get to Wuguan?
Could it be that this Luoyang coup was really just a plan of Sima Yi?
Sima Yi is not dead at all?
But that’s not right!
The spies in Luoyang had already reported to Liu Chan that Sima Yi was killed and his body was left exposed outside the gate of Luoyang Palace for three days.
"Sima Zhao, Deng Ai..." Zeng Shu continued: "They are now desperate. Cao Fang sent various people to chase them." After saying that, he paused, and then said with great joy: "Sima Zhao has passed on
When the letter reaches Wuguan, he wants to lead his people to surrender."
"Sima Zhao surrendered to the Han?" Liu Chan couldn't believe his ears. This was big news. The Sima family, the biggest winner in the Three Kingdoms in history, actually surrendered to the Han.

"Exactly!" Zeng Shu affirmed: "General Wang Ping didn't know whether to accept it, so he sent someone to ask for His Majesty's orders...Sima Zhao and Deng Ai came to surrender. Do you want to accept it or not?"
"Suffer!"
"Of course I have to bear it!"
Before Liu Chan could speak, Prince Liu Chen spoke first.
Seeing that Liu Chen was a little excited, Liu Chan asked deliberately and curiously: "Chen'er, why should Sima Zhao and Deng Ai surrender?"
Liu Chen is the crown prince and the successor of Liu Chan.
Therefore, he cares very much about his son's words and deeds.
Liu Chen saluted Liu Chan and said: "When I returned to my father, Sima Zhao came to surrender at the end of the road. It was the time for me, a great man, to demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of our country. If I, a great man, do not accept it now, how can I unify the world in the future?"
The answer was quite simple, but Liu Chan was still very satisfied.
"Okay!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Immediately send an order to Wang Ping to let Sima Zhao and Deng Ai enter the pass, and send someone to escort them to Chang'an to see me."
"I obey the order!"
Liu Chan agreed to the surrender of Sima Zhao and Deng Ai after careful consideration. After all, now that Sima Yi and Sima Shi have died in the hands of Cao Fang, then Sima Zhao and Cao Fang will have a grudge against killing their father and brother. If the Han Dynasty does not accept his surrender,
It is very likely that they will go south to join Sun Quan.
Now the Han Dynasty is attacking Soochow. If Sima Zhao and Deng Ai, two generals who are good at conquering and fighting, go to Soochow, it will be like strengthening Sun Quan's strength.
Moreover, Sun Quan will definitely care about Sima Zhao and Deng Ai.
After all, the Sima family is deeply rooted in Cao Wei. Even if Sima Yi is killed by Cao Fang now, if Sima Zhao surrenders to Wu, then relying on his prestige, it is very likely that he will recruit a force from Cao Wei and resist the Han army.
As for whether Sima Zhao's surrender was a fraud, Liu Chan wasn't that worried about it.
Wang Ping has always been cautious in everything he does. Even if Sima Zhao is allowed to enter the pass, he will double his offer and will never give Sima Zhao any chance to win the pass.
But would Sima Zhao's surrender really be a fraud?
