As soon as Zhong Hui returned to Luoyang, he heard the news that Wang Jing was on an envoy to Guzang. He immediately advised Sima Zhao to send someone to intercept, "Wang Jing is not a close confidant of the general. Your Majesty sent him on an envoy at this time. There may be something hidden in it."

"Shiji is worried too much. There are great generals both in the court and in the field. Do you think the emperor still wants to rely on the Western thieves to defy heaven and change his destiny?" Jia Chong said tit for tat.

What Zhong Hui said is just a guess, while what Jia Chong said is based on the current situation.

Sima Zhao also shook his hand, "Shiji is not in Luoyang, so I don't know the inside story. This time the Queen Mother is putting pressure on her to persuade him to join us, so I have to take a step back. That's the end of the matter."

Zhong Hui was stunned and glanced at Jia Chong.

The ministers' persuasion to move in was just a test, how could the Queen Mother not know?

There's no reason to put pressure in person, because prestige is a thing that will be consumed once you use it.

Next time, the Queen Mother's pressure will be less intimidating.

Combining the Queen Mother's uncharacteristic pressure with Wang Jing's mission to Gu Zang on the emperor's order, Zhong Hui smelled something strange.

But at this time, Sima Zhao no longer wanted to dwell on this issue.

Zhong Hui had no choice but to give up, and understood that Sima Zhao did not want to fall out with the two forces of the Queen Mother and the Emperor for the time being.

Although all the power now belongs to the Sima family, no one can tell the hidden thoughts in people's hearts.

Therefore, Sima Zhao repeatedly strengthened ties with the noble clans. Yesterday, the court also proposed to recruit the descendants of famous ministers and founders in previous lives to serve according to their talents.

Since the late Wei Dynasty, the rise of powerful gentry has become a major trend.

Emperor Cao Rui of the Ming Dynasty promoted pomp and circumstance and denounced the sons of noble officials, including Sima Shi, Xia Houxuan, Zhuge Dan, Deng Yang and others, and refused to hire them. This inhibited the continued growth of the gentry to a certain extent.

When Sima Shi took power, he directly went on a killing spree, rectified the rules and regulations, and re-formulated the rules for selecting talents so that they had their own duties. The government and the public were in awe, and the nobles were suppressed and did not dare to breathe.

When Master Sima was there, Zhong Hui always took the initiative to offer suggestions and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

But when it came to Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui seemed to be at ease, and it was usually Sima Zhao who took the initiative to seek advice.

Sima Zhao did not have the courage of his father and brother. In order to go further, he fully compromised with the nobles.

"Shi Ji, this is the latest battle report from Taiyuan Shijian." Sima Zhao handed a piece of silk to Zhong Hui with a smile on his face.

"On the thirteenth day of the fourth month, I led three thousand soldiers to encounter the Xianbei tribes in Loufan. They fought east of the Fen River and defeated the enemy. They beheaded five hundred people and captured more than a thousand people alive. They captured more than a thousand sheep, horses and miscellaneous animals. The enemy surrendered.

An unknown number of the dead were killed by the water. On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, I led the soldiers to join the five thousand Xiongnu righteous cavalry, and defeated the Western bandit Liu Heng's tribe in Langtiao, killing 271 enemies and taking 500 prisoners... In May

11. Defeat the Western bandits Ma Xun at the foot of Taiyuan City..."

The more Zhong Hui read, the more surprised he became. He looked directly at the signature and found it was signed by Shi Jian, the governor of Bingzhou.

It is an indisputable fact in the world that the soldiers of Xiliang are brave and good at fighting.

Especially after Yang Zheng separatized Liangzhou, he broke the army and killed generals. Guo Huai, Hu Fen, Deng Ai and other Yongliang generals all died in his hands.

This Shijian, relying solely on state and county soldiers, not only blocked the Qiang and Hu Xianbei raids, but also defeated the Xiliang cavalry attack?

The total number of beheadings totaled nearly a thousand people.

But soon, Zhong Hui saw the clues, Lou Fan, Lang Diao, Taiyuan City...

Since it is victory, why is it getting closer and closer to Taiyuan City?

Shi Jian is so brave!

Zhong Hui took a deep breath, but seeing that Sima Zhao was in high spirits, he did not dare to expose it directly.

Shi Jian is also a force. Although he comes from a humble background, he has been known as a celebrity early on. He has never been friends with Shan Tao, and is the loyal dog of the Sima family.

Today, both Sima Zhao and Yang Zheng need celebrities to support their platforms and increase their legitimacy.

The power of public opinion in this era is in the hands of celebrities.

Killing good people and taking advantage of them and falsely reporting their achievements is nothing new in the Wei State.

At that time, Wen Qin also relied on this to claim credit from Cao Shuang, thus offending his superiors Wang Ling and Zhuge Dan.

This happened frequently to Bian Jiang.

"Haha, Shi Ji, did you think there was something untrue in it?" Of course Sima Zhao was not that easy to figure out.

Zhong Hui laughed twice and said, "Shi Shijun has the air of a famous scholar, but he didn't expect that he had a strategy in mind."

"Ten days ago, Uncle Shi Lin had sent the heads, horses, and ordnance to Luoyang. The meritorious officer personally inspected them. It is certain that the flags, weapons, and armor were produced in Liangzhou." Jia Chong also echoed a few words.

.

Zhong Hui was stunned, could this Shi Jian really be a general?

"I wonder who will be the general in Yanmen?" Zhong Hui felt that he had only been away for a month and many things in Luoyang had changed.

The relationship between Jia Chong and Sima Zhao seems to be getting closer and closer.

The emperor and queen mother are also hard to see through, and the situation in Bingzhou is also a bit strange.

"I heard it was an unknown general named Zhou Yu." Jia Chong said disapprovingly.

Among the generals in the Liangzhou army who were capable of fighting, apart from Yang Zheng, Du Yu was the more famous.

Others' reputations are not prominent in the Central Plains.

Zhong Hui thought about it for a moment and then didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, he is more concerned about the situation between North Korea and China.

The seat of Yanmen County is Guangwu.

This place is only fifteen miles away from Daijun and more than ninety miles away from Changchuan.

Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in Yanmen, you must have a good relationship with Suo Tou of Daijun.

"That Shi Jian is a mediocre person, why did you have to lose to him several times? Is it a tactic of arrogant soldiers?" Sun Yang asked puzzled.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

Only powerful opponents need to use arrogant tactics to induce them to make mistakes.

But Shi Jianli was far from powerful, and Sun Yang even felt that the Liangzhou Army had a chance to kill him with the advantage of their cavalry.

After several small battles, the Liangzhou army threw away their helmets and armor under the banner of Liu Heng and Ma Xun, and also gave away many Qiang and Hu heads.

"A certain person was also an official in the imperial court at that time. Didn't you know that Shi Jiantu had a false reputation? Among the generals under Sima Zhao, this person is the worst. If he were defeated today, Sima Zhao would call him back to the court and transfer important generals such as Chen Tai and Wang Chang.

Come here, the plan of a certain underworld plot in Taiyuan is difficult to implement! If you want to abolish it, you must firmly lift it; if you want to take it, you must firmly give it to him. Send him a few battles, reflect the ambition of the arrogant stone, strengthen Sima Zhao's heart, and kill two birds with one stone.

, why not?" Wei Guan said with a gloomy smile.

At present, Soochow was defeated in Shouchun, the Wu army was weak, Sun Wei killed the general Zhu Yi, and the country was in a period of turmoil.

Within a few years, it was impossible to carry out the Northern Expedition.

There is rare peace on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Generals such as Wang Chang, Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Zhou Tai can be mobilized.

There is also Chen Tai above the court.

This man had served as the governor of Bingzhou in his early years, guarding the Xiongnu Zhonglang General with integrity, and was quite prestigious among the Xianbei and Huns.

Its capabilities are also self-evident.

If he were transferred to the north, things would be bad for Yanmen.

Every time he sees such a smile, Sun Yang feels cold in the soles of his feet.

After Wei Guan entered Yanmen this time, he immediately covered up his traces. Outsiders only saw that the guard was Zhou Yu, but did not know that Wei Guan was among them.

"Sir, you are brilliant!" Sun Yang secretly mourned for Shi Jian.

Wei Guan smiled lightly and said, "This is only the first step. The second step is for you, the Xuanyi Department, and the people from Jiuye Camp to cooperate."

"Please teach me, sir." Sun Yang said respectfully.

"Send people to sneak into Taiyuan to approach Tang Zi secretly. They will wait for the general to surrender and send him more gold, silver, money and silk. There is no need to say anything."
