It was a good plan, but the Hexi Corridor had just been opened, and I didn't have much savings on hand.

"If the prices of Sichuan brocade, tea, and lacquerware are raised, I'm afraid that other forces will also come to mix things up. Liangzhou can't bear it. It can appropriately reduce the taxes of the Yizhou gentry and make good friends with them secretly." Yang Zheng still tends to be conservative and do

Don't take anything for granted, you have to take it step by step.

Wei Guan's eyes flashed, "My subordinate is not thoughtful enough. General, please forgive me. You might as well leave this matter to your subordinates."

It doesn’t matter if there is a dedicated person in charge, this aspect is also Weiguan’s strength.

"Then there's Lao Boyu."

"Dare you fail to serve me wholeheartedly?" Wei Guan surrendered and retreated.

Yang Zheng was left alone to think alone.

You don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and Liangzhou is under great pressure right now.

There is a lot of waste everywhere, and money is needed everywhere.

We cannot afford a trade war.

But it is right to bind the interests of the Yizhou gentry.

As Wei Guan said, Shu leader Liu Chan used the Northern Expedition to temporarily integrate the Jing and Yi people, but he was actually playing with fire. Once Jiang Wei was defeated, the contradictions in Shu would become more prominent.

As Wei continued to grow, Wu and Shu continued to decline, and the unification of the three kingdoms was the general trend.

For the Huainan Second Rebellion, Sima Division mobilized more than 200,000 troops.

Not even two years had passed before Sima Zhao had another 200,000 troops in Luoyang.

The strength of the Central Plains’ national power is evident.

Cao Wei captured Hanzhong and moved the people of Hanzhong to Guanzhong.

After acquiring Huainan, the people of Huainan were moved to Huaibei, so that there was a large no-man's land in Huainan. Wu State had no use for it and could only fight with Wei State in Hefei.

Sima Yi destroyed Liaodong and moved 40,000 households into Hebei. Although Liaodong was empty, Hebei's population was prosperous.

Although the Wei court was in turmoil in these years, Sima Yi cut through the mess quickly and killed Cao Shuang's party in five days, completing the Gaoping Ling Revolution.

Subsequent attacks against Wang Ling and Guanqiu Jian were quickly settled without any confrontation, and the prestige of the Sima family was pushed to its peak.

If this trend continues, the unification of the three countries is inevitable.

According to this trend, the Shu Kingdom is in danger.

Being tied to the interests of the Yizhou gentry, there may be some unexpected gains in the future.

In the third year of Zhengyuan, Emperor Cao Mao of Wei changed the name to nectar to pray for good weather in the world.

However, there is no smooth weather in the world, only disturbances.

After Zhuge Dan captured Shouchun, he bought people's hearts, recruited dead soldiers, continued to expand his army, and built more defenses in Shouchun.

Sima Zhao did not cause trouble for Zhuge Dan, but Zhuge Dan kept testing Sima Zhao.

In March, on the grounds that Soochow Wu intended to attack Huainan, he requested the imperial court to deploy an additional 100,000 troops from Qingxu and Yanyu to build city defenses along the Huaihe River.

When Wu invades Huainan, he must first break through Hefei Xincheng and then Shouchun.

Zhuge Dan did not build the city defenses along the Feishui River, but built the city along the Huaihe River. His intention was naturally to prepare for Wei's conquest.

Sima Zhao refused.

However, Sima Zhao was not an easy man. He was impatient as soon as he took office. Chief Shi Jiachong suggested sending envoys to comfort the four towns in order to test his mind and observe his ambitions.

Jia Chong personally went to Shouchun to meet Zhuge Dan and discussed current affairs, straight to the point, "All the sages in Luo Zhong are willing to meditate. What do you think?"

Zhuge Dan's expression changed on the spot, "Are you not a son of Jia Yuzhou? I have been favored by Wei in this world, how can I want to lose the country to others! If there is trouble in Luo, I will die."

Jia Chong's father, Jia Kui, was a veteran of the three dynasties. He was very loyal to Cao Wei. When he was dying, he said to those around him: "I have received great favor from the country, and I would rather not kill Sun Quan to see the late emperor. There must be no modifications to the funeral."

Faced with Zhuge Dan's rebuke, Jia Chong retreated in shame and returned to Luoyang.

In the other three towns, Wang Chang, the general who conquered the south, had long been inextricably linked with the Sima family. The new general who conquered the north, He Zeng, was born in the He family of Chen County. During the Gaoping Ling Incident, he defected to the Sima family. Sima Shi deposed the emperor and killed his queen.

, He has also participated in it.

Chen Tai, the general who conquered the West, did not agree, but he did not explicitly object.

"Zhuge Dan is in Yangzhou. He has a long-standing reputation and the hearts of the people. He can win over people to death. Now if he is recruited to join the court, he will not come, and the disaster will be small. If he is not recruited, it will be late and the disaster will be big." Jia Chong added.

A new rebellion in Huainan is imminent.

If Sima Zhao only acts as a powerful minister, Zhuge Dan may not necessarily rebel, and there is a high probability of maintaining the status quo.

But after three generations of hard work, how could the Sima family stand still?

If this is true, I am afraid that the Sima family will be abandoned by the nobles in the blink of an eye.

The world of the Wei State belonged not only to the Sima clan, but also to the gentry.

The Cao family is already dying.

There is no foundation in place, in the army, or in the court.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty still had a group of loyal ministers to the Han Dynasty. There were local princes named Liu, but Cao Wei had none. The situation was worse than that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty...

"But if we conquer Huainan, the Yang thieves will invade Chang'an. If Chang'an is lost, the world will be shaken!" Sima Zhao did not forget the threat from the west.

In the past few years, Yang Zheng's shouts have become louder and louder. He kept calling Cao family loyal ministers, pointing at Sima Yi at every turn, and scolding Sima Shi in the face.

Of course Sima Zhao couldn't swallow this tone.

"You must severely defeat Yang Er before you can go eastward!" Sima Zhao couldn't help but get angry when he thought of Yang Zheng's repeated insults.

And this is indeed the case.

Sima Zhao's army marched eastward, how could Yang Zheng miss this golden opportunity?

However, Sima Zhao said it was a heavy defeat rather than a annihilation, which shows that he also knew the difficulty of conquering Liangzhou.

Everyone frowned and thought hard, but Zhong Hui laughed softly, "This matter is not difficult. If arranged properly, we may be able to kill two birds with one stone, but we should first transfer Chen Xuanbo back."

The governors of the four towns all expressed their opinions, but Chen Tai did not express his feelings.

How can Sima Zhao feel at ease?

And Chen Tai has a criminal record.

"Yes!" Sima Zhao slowly nodded in agreement.

Chang'an.

General Chen Taizheng of Zhenxi suffered from a headache.

His headache was not due to Yang Zheng to the west, but to Sima Zhao in Luoyang City to the east.

Wei has reached this point, and the situation has become clear.

Regardless of whether Chen Tai accepted it or not, it was the general trend that the Sima family succeeded the Wei Dynasty, and it was also the common aspiration of the gentry.

"The rebels in Liangzhou are raging. The general summoned me to lead the army back to the court at this time. Wouldn't this give Yang Zheng and the Shu people an opportunity to take advantage of?" Chen Tai was puzzled.

Thanks to him, he actively organized a defense line in Yongzhou and stabilized the most critical period in Guanzhong.

With the merging of states and the influx of rebel troops from Hebei, Chang'an's strength recovered somewhat.

A mysterious smile curled up on Sima Fu's old face, and his wrinkles unfurled, "The general has his own plans for this matter. Uncle Xuan has returned to Luoyang. Isn't there still an old man in Chang'an? There is no need to worry."

Chen Tai's chessboard is in Yongliang, while Sima Zhao's chessboard is in the whole world.

"Uncle Xuan, I have watched you grow up. You are of the same spirit as my Sima family. You have known the general since childhood. The general will never let you down." Seeing Chen Tai's gloomy face, Sima Fu said seriously.

.

At this point, Chen Tai could only accept his fate, cupped his hands and said, "My nephew knows."
