Three hundred cavalry sent by Luoyang were robbed and killed in Zheng County, leaving no one alive.

When the news reached Chang'an, Guo Huai's usually calm face finally became troubled.

"Where's the man? Where's the madam?" A deep voice roared like a wild beast.

It's not that he cares about his wife.

When sending the Wang family away, he had already thought clearly that one woman would be exchanged for the continued prosperity and wealth of the entire Guo family.

We asked ourselves that he did not have the courage to fight against Sima Yi.

The scout half-knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Husband, madam... is missing..."

"How could a living person disappear?" Guo Huai's voice calmed down again, but there was a heavy murderous intent in his calmness.

Isn't it an unusual thing for a living person to disappear in such a huge barrier?

The scout lowered his head, his body was trembling, and he couldn't say a word.

Guo Huai rubbed his hand on the handle of the knife several times, and finally put it down, "Send the order, all the cavalry from all the battalions in Chang'an will be dispatched, and they will search every inch of the knife and find the person!"

"Wei!" The scout walked away holding his head as if he had been granted amnesty.

Guo Tong said happily: "If you don't see the body, doesn't it mean that your mother is still alive?"

The Han and Wei dynasties emphasized filial piety. Guo Huai could give up his married wife, but Guo Tong could not ignore his mother.

In fact, when people disappear, the problem is even bigger.

Guo Huai pondered for a moment and then said: "Hurry up and see Sima Zishang with me."

"Captain Guo, Zhao has come uninvited!" Sima Zhao's voice sounded outside the door.

Guo Huai had Guo Huai's channels, and Sima Zhao also had Sima Zhao's eyes and ears.

"Sir, please come in quickly." Guo Huai winked, and Guo Tong opened the door.

Sima Zhao was standing in front of the door with a smile but not a smile, "The imperial court regards the governor as the pillar in the west, but it did not expect that this happened in the place under its control! Zhao has always heard that the governor and his wife Luan Feng were singing together, and today he knows it is true."

Guo Huai's stone-like face finally sank, "Sir, please come quickly, it's cold outside."

Sima Zhao sighed and said, "I won't bother the Governor. Zhao came here to say goodbye. The imperial court has ordered me to return to Beijing to report on my duties. I wonder what the Governor has to say to my father?"

The cold wind howled outside and heavy snow fell.

Guo Tong's face was covered in cold sweat.

Sima Zhao only spoke a few words, but they were full of tension.

"Master Sima knows my thoughts, why do I need to say more?" Guo Huai said calmly.

Sima Zhao smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "See you later."

Guo Huai and Guo Tong returned the courtesy at the same time.

Sima Zhao turned around and left with six or seven guards.

Guo Tong's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he whispered: "Father just let him go? Why don't we detain him as a hostage?"

"What do you want to do?"

"If Sima Zhao returns to Luoyang, he will definitely lead a large army to come, and then attack with Deng Ai and the Hu family from east to west. My father and son will die without a burial place, and the Guo family will also be invaded by the Yi tribe!" Guo Tong was heartbroken.

Guo Huai began to ponder.

This is a difficult decision.

In November of the first year of Jiaping, Emperor Wei issued an edict that Sima Yi put down the rebellion of Wang Ling of Huainan. He had outstanding achievements and was given the gift of Jiuxi. He refused to pay homage at the court meeting and paid homage in vain. Sima Yi firmly resigned and petitioned to promote Sima Shi to the rank of General of Fujun.

.

The emperor promised it.

In addition, because Sima Yi was ill, a temple was built in Luoyang, and Sima Yi's settlement was increased by 50,000 households. Nineteen of Sima Yi's sons and nephews were made marquises, all of whom were in charge of Cao Wei's secrets and authority in all directions.

Whenever there was a major event, the emperor would personally come to Sima's mansion to seek advice.

The incident in Chang'an soon spread to Luoyang.

Although it didn't snow in Luoyang, the sky was sinking heavily and the cold wind was howling all day long.

After Sima Yi returned to Beijing in Shouchun, he often dreamed of Jia Kui and Wang Ling standing in front of him with their hair disheveled and soaked in blood. Their bodies did not feel heavy. Fortunately, they were treated by the imperial doctor, so they were able to hold on.

"The cavalry sent by my father were intercepted and killed, and no one was left alive." Master Sima covered Sima Yi with a layer of brocade fur and pulled the charcoal fire closer.

After the silver charcoal from Nanyang was lit, there was no smoke at all.

The flame is long-lasting and gentle, which is suitable for Sima Yi to recuperate from illness.

"What do you think?" Sima Yi's words had a heavy nasal tone, like silver coals in a furnace that were about to be extinguished at any time, but would never go out.

Master Sima said: "Back in Yongliang, I had many interactions with Guo Boji. He was always calm and not a reckless person. Moreover, abandoning the Guo family for a woman would not be done by a wise man."

Back then, Xia Houhui and Sima Shi were also in harmony with each other. They gave birth to five daughters, but they still died in unknown circumstances.

After the decline of Wu Zhi, the Wu family decisively gave up and married the Taiyang family who was gradually rising.

Using oneself to save others, Master Sima certainly believed that Guo Huai would not turn against a woman.

"However, Guo Bojin was born in a noble family. He was favored by Emperor Wen and took charge of the military power of Yongliang. His intentions are unknown. He cannot be left hanging outside for a long time and be regarded as Xu Tuzhi?" Sima Shi said very implicitly.

When Sima Yi was around, Guo Huai certainly didn't dare to act rashly.

If Sima Yi is gone, his thoughts are unknown.

Over the years, the Guo family also began to become intertwined, and they were related by marriage to the nobles.

Jia Chong, who was in the limelight, married a daughter of the Guo family.

If only Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Zhou Tai, Shi Bao and other poor generals were talented, they would have no foundation and would not be able to make waves.

But the Guo family in Taiyuan is a noble family with a long history.

Sima Yi closed his eyes again, "You should remember that there should be no chaos in Yongliang."

After annihilating Wang Ling, the last of his energy seemed to have been drained away, and it seemed that only a body and a remnant soul were left.

"Yes." Master Sima listened respectfully.

After being promoted to General of the Fu Army, the real power of Luoyang had actually fallen into his hands.

"Female Guo Huai as the Marquis of Yangqu, increase the settlement to 3,000 households, divide it into 300 households, and make one son the Marquis of Ting." Sima Yi's voice was weak, as if he was mumbling...

When Meng Guan hurried back to Xidu, it was snowing heavily.

"General, forgive me." Meng Guan half-knelt in front of Yang Zheng.

But Yang Zheng smiled and said: "What crime is there? If you let a Wang family go, you will let it go. I have already said that you have full authority to handle the matter in Chang'an, and if the Wang family returns to Guo Huai alive, Guo will be punished."

Huai is even more in trouble."

At the last moment, Meng Guan did not cut off the knife in his hand.

Not only was it not cut off, it was sent back to Chang'an.

In fact, if you think about it the other way round, this is a clever move.

If Wang disappears or dies, the Sima family may not necessarily suspect Guo Huai.

But when the Wang family returned to Chang'an, Guo Huai was in trouble.

After all the people were sent back, how could Guo Huai still say that it had nothing to do with him?

On the other hand, if Meng Guan is too ruthless, has no humanity at all, and can do anything without any scruples, would Yang Zheng dare to let him go?

After listening to Yang Zheng's analysis, Meng Guancai was relieved, "So, Sima Yi will definitely turn against Guo Huai?"

Yang Zheng thought for a while and shook his head, "Sima Yi and Guo Huai are both outstanding people in the world. It is not so easy to separate them. This time, we should be able to create a gap between them. If there is a gap, next time, we will not be so gentle.

Let it go."

People should seek truth from facts, haste makes waste.

Guo Huai is as steady as an old dog.

Sima Yi is even more of an old fox.

It's pretty good to be able to do a lot of tricks in front of them.

Things are going through a fermentation process, and it is certainly impossible to expect them to turn against each other immediately.

However, when there is a gap, acrimony will naturally arise.
