Sima Zhao was also surprised.

Zhong Hui went north, under the pretense of returning to Luoyang, and arrived at Yinque in a few days.

Fortunately, Sima Zhao had 7,000 troops at Yinque Pass, so Zhong Hui was prevented from flooding into the Luoyang Basin.

But this made the 120,000 Chinese troops excited.

They went out for a year and shed blood and sweat, but the court refused to let them return home...

The military morale that originally favored the Sima family gradually turned towards Zhong Hui.

However, Zhong Hui had a good sense of proportion and blocked the Yinque Pass to appease the soldiers so that they would not kill each other.

An army of 140,000 was blocked at Yinque Pass, putting Luoyang under tremendous pressure.

Sima Zhao thought he knew Zhong Hui, but he still underestimated him.

In fact, as long as Zhong Hui does not enter Luo, everything is under Sima Zhao's control.

As long as Sima Zhao can calm down.

No matter whether Zhong Hui stays in Wancheng or goes straight to Xuchang, it will not change the outcome of being eventually dealt with. The 12th Army will not obey the orders of a commander with a dishonest name and a dishonest reputation.

Originally, Sima Zhao took into consideration the past friendship and allowed Zhong Hui to have a good death.

But now Zhong Hui went north and directly defeated Sima Zhao's army.

"Does Zhong Hui really want to be my enemy?" Sima Zhao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

When Zhong Hui led his troops to the west, many people in the court advised him not to do so.

Even Sima Zhao's wife, Wang Yuanji, tried her best to dissuade him: he would be unfaithful when meeting with others, and he would stir up trouble. If he was favored too much, he would be in trouble, and he should not be held responsible.

Now it has really come true.

"This matter seems a bit unreasonable!" Jia Chong said, twirling his beard and narrowing his triangular eyes into long slits.

"What's unreasonable?"

"If Zhong Hui entered Luoyang, he would not have stayed in Wancheng for more than ten days. Instead, he should have taken Yinque Pass when he was unprepared and sent his troops directly to Luoyang City!" Jia Chong is not good at military strategy, but he is very good at it.

Good at reading people's hearts.

Zhong Hui looked down on him, but he saw Zhong Hui inside and out.

"Not bad!" Sima Zhao's eyes lit up.

The only one who can rely on now is Jia Chong. Others like Chen Tai and Xun Xu all have their own little ideas.

Only Jia Chong put himself in his shoes and thought about him.

"Even if Zhong Hui's army of 140,000 troops was not enough to break through Luoyang, why would Zhong Hui still go north?" Jia Chong said.

"There must be some internal support in Luoyang!" Sima Zhao said coldly.

"Those who can respond to Zhong Hui are definitely not ordinary people." Jia Chong's eyes flashed with a cold light like poisonous snakes.

"Not an ordinary person?" Sima Zhao checked them one by one in his mind.

Chen Tai?

With his character, he would not do such a thing, nor would he collude with Zhong Hui.

Xun Xu?

Although the two were nephews, they had always been at odds with each other. In the early years, the Wei military general Yitian Sword was given to his son-in-law, the Cavalry General Xun Fei, and later passed into the hands of Xun Xu.

He asked for it and took it as his own. The two of them have been at odds ever since.

The only person who may support Zhong Hui is naturally his brother Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu also reminded Sima Zhao in his early years: Hui's ability to use force is difficult to guarantee, and he cannot be appointed exclusively.

After going around in a circle, Sima Zhao didn't expect who it was.

When he saw the cold light in Jia Chong's eyes, his whole body was suddenly shocked, "Could it be..."

Jia Chong smiled gloomily and said, "Who else could it be besides that one?"

Sima Zhao's face suddenly sank, but he quickly laughed contemptuously, "It seems that he has never given up after all these years."

"How could that person give up?"

"I almost forgot that he was there. Looks like I have to beat him again!"

In Lingyuntai, Emperor Cao Mao was also waiting anxiously.

The person Sima Zhao and Jia Chong were talking about was the Emperor of Wei himself!

Cao Mao has never given up for so many years.

It’s impossible to give up!

He also wanted to recreate his Shaokang rule.

When Sima Shi died, Cao Mao, who had just succeeded to the throne, dared to order Sima Zhao to hold a funeral in Xuchang, and Fu Gu led an army of 100,000 people back to Luoyang.

The attack was decisive and timely. As long as Sima Zhao had doubts at the time, Cao Mao would succeed.

That was the closest Cao Mao came to victory.

However, it failed in the end, and it was Zhong Hui who urged Sima Zhao to lead his troops back to Luo in person.

Every time he recalled the past, Cao Mao felt heartbroken. He had no ambition, but was controlled by others. He could only find some old stories about Shaokang in the pile of old papers to find some comfort.

"The Cao family's empire cannot be destroyed in my hands!" This is Cao Mao's bottom line.

"Your Majesty, Zhong Huifei is a person who can be entrusted to his care," Li Zhao advised.

Cao Mao said: "I have never trusted him. Zhong Hui is the mastermind of Sima Zhao. If he can drive a wedge between the two, Sima Zhao will lose his arm. If Zhong Hui succeeds, other Sima clans will surely fight back. I may have a plan."

Second chance.”

"Your Majesty is wise and will be able to revive the Wei State."

"Revitalize?" Cao Mao smiled bitterly, "There are vicious dogs inside and tigers and wolves outside. How difficult is it to revive the world?"

Even if Zhong Hui succeeds, who knows that he will not be the next Sima Yi and Sima Shi?

Cao Mao knew very well that Cao Wei had not reached much hope now.

Even though Sima Zhao was defeated miserably by Feng Sa, the nobles still stayed with him and refused the emperor's solicitation.

Cao Mao was somewhat disheartened, but he just couldn't swallow the bad breath.

It would be fine if we conquered the world with swords.

For two generations, Sima Yi entrusted the orphans with the oath of Luo Shui and deceived the people of the world.

Li Zhao and Jiao Bo burst into tears. They were originally old friends of the Donghai Palace and grew up with the emperor.

They saw all the efforts made by the emperor to help the Wei Dynasty.

Winning over the nobles, discussing Taoism, fighting for everything that could be fought for, and winning over all the people who could be won over.

However, Cao Wei's empire was still shaky and showed no signs of improvement.

When Sima Yi and Sima Shi were alive, they had already cut off the foundation of Cao Wei...

It stands to reason that the Wei Dynasty will welcome a promising king, but God forbid, he comes at the wrong time.

At this time, Xiao Huangmen outside the palace reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Jingzhou has written a letter to the governor."

"Send it up." Cao Mao was a little surprised.

Wang Jing was a chess piece that he laid out outside. Since it couldn't work in the Luoyang court, he could only win over King Qin's power outside.

But submitting a letter suddenly at this time is not a good sign.

After reading this, Cao Mao's face quickly darkened. He didn't care about the emperor's interests and said angrily: "The Sima dog thief bullied me too much!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down," Li Zhaobo and Jiao Bo quickly advised.

"How can I calm down my anger? Sima Zhao transferred Yanwei back to Luo!" Cao Mao was despairing of all thoughts and felt like a moth, unable to fly out of the Sima family's snare.

Li Zhao and Jiao Bo were both middle-aged men, unable to make suggestions or solve problems.

After a long time, Cao Mao stood up from the imperial tower and paced back and forth, "Sima Zhao recalled Yan Wei at this time with the intention of beating me. He must have heard some rumors!"

Sima Zhao had a group of staff, ears and eyes, but Cao Mao was the only one fighting from beginning to end.

"He was defeated this time. In order to regain his prestige, he will definitely deal with me. It's time to show his strength." Cao Mao's eyes flashed with danger and excitement.

A powerful minister who wants to go further, and an emperor who is unwilling to give in.

This day will come sooner or later.
