Chapter 352 Fake anger
"The traitor Yang Zheng has bullied my family too much. I will personally raise an army of 200,000 to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!" In Luoyang City, Sima Zhao was furious.
No wonder he was angry. As soon as the young emperor was appeased and the funeral was completed, news came that the Xiping Army had entered the pass and was approaching Chang'an.
Although there was no fight, the impact on Luoyang was indescribable.
The key point is that Yang Zheng pointed at Sima Yi's nose and cursed, turning out the oath of Luo Shui.
In the Han and Wei dynasties, filial piety was used to determine character, and filial piety and integrity were promoted.
Therefore, in history, the Han, Wei, and Jin dynasties had the most filial sons...
Sima Shi could endure it, and Sima Zhao could pretend he didn't see it.
However, Yang Zheng kicked him into the pass. No matter how blind Sima Zhao was, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.
However, when he said this, he obviously wanted someone to persuade him.
Although Guanqiu Jian was put down during the Second Huainan Rebellion, another bigger hidden danger surfaced.
Zhuge Dan led 30,000 Yuzhou troops and his family into Shouchun.
At that time, Sima Shixin died, and Emperor Cao Mao ordered Sima Zhao to attend the funeral in Xuchang, and asked Fu Gu to lead the six armies to return to the court. Sima Zhao was so anxious that he held his nose and admitted.
Zhuge Dan was granted the title of General Zhendong, with the title of "General of Zhendong", with the title of "General of the Three Divisions", and Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in Yangzhou.
And today, the memorial from Huainan was sent to Luoyang together with the news from Guanzhong.
Zhuge Dan sent his general Jiang Ban to pursue the Dongwu army, killed Liu Zan, and reported the victory to the court.
Meaning, only he can stabilize the empty Huainan.
"Yang Zheng is brave and warlike. He has become like Ma Chao in his time. If he captures Wuwei now, he will attack Guanzhong in the future. Don't let him breathe. The general will pour the power of Hebei, Hedong, Luoyang and Guanzhong and destroy him with one blow. You can't make him sit up big." Jia Chong suggested.

"In the past, Wei Wu once said that if the horse does not die, I will have no place to bury him. Now Yang'er can do more harm than Ma Chao. What do you think?" Sima Zhao glanced at everyone.
The Sima Zhao shogunate was much larger than the Sima division.
After Fu Gu's death, Sima Zhao actively recruited talents like Sima Shi.
Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Xun Yi, Yu Song, Pei Xiu, and Wang Chen were all promoted.
Zheng Miao also recommended Liu Yi, Liu Shi, Cheng Xian, Yu Jun, Xun Xu and other talented people.
In addition to these people, Sima Zhao also repeatedly recruited Taiyang Hu as a staff member of the general's palace.
Yang Hu repeatedly declined, but Sima Zhao persevered and used the imperial carriage to worship Yang Hu as Zhongshulang, finally introducing this talented person from outside the family into the imperial court.
Master Sima suppressed the nobles with one hand and attracted them with the other, and the nobles obeyed.
However, Sima Zhao's methods were gentle and tended to favor the gentry, which greatly reduced the gentry's resistance to the Sima family.
The Sima family and the gentry were more tightly bound.
"Guanzhong has been fighting for many years. Yongliang's army has suffered new losses and Deng Ai has suffered a new defeat. This is why we cannot fight. The Luoyang armies have just pacified Huainan and have not had time to rest and regroup. We cannot fight for two. The road to Liangzhou is dangerous. We cannot fight for three. I wish you great general. Think about it." The only one who could talk to Sima Zhao like this was his father-in-law Wang Su.
"A general must not be angry and lead to war, and a lord must not raise an army out of anger." Xun Yi also advised.
Zheng Miao also advised: "Although Yang Zheng is rampant, he is located in a remote location and setting foot in Guanzhong is just for show. If the Central Plains is peaceful, Xiliang will destroy itself."
Sima Zhao turned his eyes to Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui coughed and said with a smile: "Back then, Wei Wu prepared for several years to destroy Ma Chao. He summoned powerful generals from all directions and assembled an army that would overwhelm the country, but he still couldn't kill him. How much less today?"
"Are we going to sit back and watch Yang Er go rampant in Liangzhou?" Jia Chong stared at Zhong Hui and asked.
Other people in the hall also looked at him.
"Yang Zheng rose up in response to the situation. He attacked later, destroyed Ye Wudai, sent him to Xiping, killed Mi Dang, made him occupy the Western Sea, broke the Qiang war, made him seize Jincheng, destroyed Guanqiu Jian, and made him advance to Wuwei. All at once That’s it. He does this every time and always seizes the opportunity, which shows that he has a great strategy. Now our army is exhausted and the pass is broken. If we rush to conquer, if the war goes against us, the pass will be in danger of overthrowing!"
At this point, Zhong Hui stood up and bowed his hands to Sima Zhao, "Therefore, the general will not fight unless he fights. If he fights, he should use all the power, strength and soldiers of the whole country to defeat him in one fell swoop."
Sima Zhao's anger was only superficial.
After all, Yang Zheng had scolded Sima Yi, so it was unreasonable for Sima Zhao to remain indifferent.
"It's not you, sir, I must have made a mistake." Didn't Sima Zhao know that now was not the time to conquer Liangzhou?
Even if there is a crusade, it cannot be done in a few moments.
Food, grass, and soldiers cannot be collected in ten days.
Moreover, Sima Zhao has recently taken power and should be kept calm. It is impossible for the whole country to attack Liangzhou and turn its back on Huainan.
"Since Hu Fen, the governor of Liangzhou, is dead, we can promote another governor to alienate the counties of Liangzhou, and then make the head of the Xianbei chief the captain of the Xiqiang, so that they can attack each other." Zhong Hui's eyes flashed with a ghostly light.
Among the four counties in Hexi, Yang Zheng only had Wuwei, and he also had Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Wuji Xiaowei.
As for Xianbei in Hexi, not only the Xitao Lujie Tribe, but also the Tufa Tribe, which occupies the front and back tao, as well as the northern grasslands of the Helan Mountains, the Qifu Tribe, which occupies a part of Henan, and the more powerful Xianbei tribes in the desert grasslands further away.
After Kebi Neng was assassinated by Han Long, Xianbei lost the opportunity to unify.
Therefore, Wei can concentrate on dealing with Wu and Shu.
However, the Xiqiang Colonel was not the Protector of the Qiang. He had great power and had the power to control the Qiang in Liangzhou.
Sima Zhao's eyes lit up, "Shiji is indeed my family's son-in-law!"
When he said these words in public, everyone in the hall had shuddering eyes.
Only Zhong Hui is complacent and very frivolous.
Everyone's expressions fell into Sima Zhao's eyes, and Sima Zhao smiled, "But who should be named the governor of Liangzhou? Who should be named the captain of Xiqiang?"
"The governor of Dunhuang, Huangfu Long, was a veteran of the four dynasties, and he was over a hundred years old. The governor of Zhangye, Du Tong, was rescued by Guan Qiujian's father, Guan Qiuxing. Although the governor of Jiuquan, Wang Huiyang, was a member of the Dongping gentry, he was not enough to succeed as a scholar. Only Wuji Ma Yan, the captain of the school, is a powerful family member of Xiliang. He has guarded the Western Region for more than 20 years. He can be promoted to control the west of Liangzhou. Then he can be promoted to Shouguan Bald as the school captain of Xiqiang, and he can control the north of Liangzhou. Although Ai controls the east of Liangzhou, Yang Zheng cannot be defeated, but it only needs to be delayed for a few years. After a few years, the Central Plains will be restored, and a million-strong army can march westward in one fell swoop to annihilate Yang Zheng."
When the new master takes over, Zhong will shake out everything in his stomach to win Sima Zhao's favor.
Sima Zhao laughed and took Zhong Hui's hand, "Since Shi Ji is here, why worry about Yang'er not being destroyed?"
Everyone raised their hands in congratulations.
After everyone left, Wang Su stayed, "Although Zhong Hui is talented, he is a frivolous person and cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Sima Zhao smiled and said nothing.
Since taking power, Wang Su gradually felt that there were some changes in his son-in-law. Since Sima Zhao was silent, he could not say much and left.
Not long after, Zhong Hui also came to see him.
Some things cannot be discussed openly.
"Liangzhou cannot be attacked lightly. If Zhuge Dan welcomes the Yuzhou people into Shouchun, he will surely be a serious trouble for his confidants." Zhong Hui went straight to the topic as soon as he came in.
Opposite Liangzhou is a tired Yongzhou. Since Cao Shuang's 100,000 troops attacked Shu, Guanzhong has not been able to relax. Since then, Jiang Wei has frequently invaded north. Although he has not made any great achievements, it has also restrained part of Guanzhong's energy.
But Yangzhou is different.
Huainan is originally a land of money and food, and the surrounding areas of Huainan are also places of money and food. Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou are all rich places.
