Chapter 354 Feigning Anger

"The traitor Yang Zheng bullied my family too much. I will personally raise 20 troops, eat their flesh and sleep their skins!" In Luoyang City, Sima Zhao was furious.

No wonder he was angry, just as the little emperor was appeased and the funeral was over, news came that the Xiping army had entered Guanzhong and was approaching Chang'an.

Although there was no fight, the impact on Luoyang was immeasurable.

The key point is that Yang Zheng pointed at Sima Yi's nose and cursed, revealing the Luoshui oath.

In the Han and Wei dynasties, filial piety was used to determine character and promote filial piety.

Therefore, in history, the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties had the most filial sons...

Master Sima could bear it, and Sima Zhao could pretend he didn't see it.

However, Yang Zheng kicked into the pass, and Sima Zhao, no matter how blind he was, couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

But when he said this, he obviously wanted to be persuaded.

Although the Huainan Second Rebellion put down Wu Qiujian, another bigger hidden danger surfaced.

Zhuge Dan led [-] Yuzhou troops and their families into Shouchun.

At that time, Sima Shi had just died, and the emperor Cao Mao ordered Sima Zhao Xuchang to attend the funeral, and asked Fu Gu to lead the six armies back to the court.

Zhuge Dan was granted the title of General of Zhendong, the third division of Yitong, and the governor of Yangzhou's military forces.

And just today, the Huainan memorial table was sent to Luoyang together with the news from Guanzhong.

Zhuge Dan sent general Jiang Ban to pursue the Eastern Wu army, behead Liuzan, and report victory to the court.

It means that only he can stabilize the empty Huainan.

"Yang Zheng is fierce and warlike. He has become the figure of Ma Chao back then. Now that he has captured Wuwei, he will surely conquer Guanzhong in the future. Don't let him take a breather. The general should use all his strength in Hebei, Hedong, Luoyang, and Guanzhong to destroy him with one blow. In other words, don't make him sit up." Jia Chong suggested.

"Once upon a time, Wei Wu once said that if a horse does not die, I have no place to be buried. Now Yang'er is more harmful than Ma Chao, what do you think?" Sima Zhao glanced at the crowd.

Sima Zhao's shogunate is much bigger than Sima Shi.

After Fu Gu's death, Sima Zhao, like Master Sima, actively recruited talents.

Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Xun Yi, Yu Song, Pei Xiu, and Wang Chen were all promoted.

Zheng Mao 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 Taishan Yanghu as a member of the general's mansion.

Yang Hu repeatedly declined, but Sima Zhao persevered, and took the imperial bus to recruit Yang Hu as Zhongshulang, and finally introduced this talented man from outside the world to the imperial court.

Master Sima suppressed the gentry with one hand, and wooed the gentry with one hand, and the gentry were submissive.

However, Sima Zhao's methods were gentle, and he had the intention of leaning towards the gentry, which greatly reduced the resistance of the gentry to the Sima family.

The Sima family was more tightly bound with the gentry.

"Guanzhong has been fighting for years, the Yongliang army has been mourned, and Deng Ai has been defeated. This cannot be fought once. The Luoyang army has just pacified Huainan and has not had time to rest. This cannot be fought twice. The roads in Liangzhou are dangerous and far away. This cannot be fought three times. May the general Think about it." The only one who could talk to Sima Zhao like this was his father-in-law Wang Su.

"The general should not go to war out of anger, and the master should not provoke the teacher out of anger." Xun Wei also advised.

Zheng Mao also persuaded: "Although Yang Zheng is rampant, he is located in a remote place. He set foot in Guanzhong, but it is just a show. If the Central Plains are peaceful, Xiliang will be destroyed by itself."

Sima Zhao turned his gaze to Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui coughed and said with a smile: "Back then, Wei Wu had prepared for several years to destroy Ma Chao. He summoned strong generals from all over the world and assembled an army that would overwhelm the country. He still couldn't kill him, let alone today?"

"Do you want to sit and watch Yang'er rampant in Liangzhou?" Jia Chong stared at Zhong Hui and said.

The other people in the hall also looked at it together.

"Yang Zheng rose up because of the situation, and then attacked others. He destroyed Ye Wudai, made him enter Xiping, punished Midang, made him occupy the West Sea, broke the battle of Qiang, made him win Jincheng, and fought in Wuyin, made him enter Wuwei. That's all, if you do this again and again, you can always seize the right time, which shows that you are very strategic, now our army is exhausted, Guanzhong is damaged, and we attack rashly, if the battle is not good, then Guanzhong is in danger of being overthrown!"

Speaking of this, President Zhong stood up and bowed his hands to Sima Zhao, "So, if the general does not fight, he will die. If he fights, he should use the power, strength, and soldiers of the whole country to defeat him in one fell swoop."

Sima Zhao's anger was actually just superficial.

After all, Yang Zheng scolded Sima Yi, so Sima Zhao's indifference was unreasonable.

"It's not your lords, I was wrong." How could Sima Zhao know that now is not the time to conquer Liangzhou?
Even if you want to crusade, you can't do it in two or three strokes.

Food, grass, and soldiers cannot be collected in ten days.

Moreover, Sima Zhao has recently come to power, and when the town is quiet, it is impossible for the whole country to attack Liangzhou and turn its butt towards Huainan.

"Since the governor of Liangzhou, Hu Fen, has died, another person can be promoted to be the governor of Liangzhou, and the counties in Liangzhou will be separated, and the head of the Xianbei chieftain will be named the captain of Xiqiang, so that they can attack each other." Zhong Hui's eyes flashed with a gloomy light.

Of the four counties in Hexi, Yang Zheng only had Wuwei, and there were Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Wuji Xiaowei.

As for the Hexi Xianbei, there are not only the Xitao Lujie tribe, but also the Bald Hair tribe occupying the front and back, and the northern grasslands of Helan Mountain, the Qifu tribe occupying a part of Henan, the desert grassland farther away, and the more powerful Xianbei tribes.

Since Ke Bi Neng was assassinated by Han Long, Xianbei lost the opportunity for unification.

Therefore, Wei Guo can concentrate on dealing with Wu and Shu.

However, the Xiqiang captain is not the guardian of the Qiang. He has great power and has the right to control the Liangzhou Zhuqiang.

Sima Zhao's eyes lit up, "Shi Ji is indeed the son of my family!"

In the presence of a large audience, when he said these words, the eyes of all the people in the hall froze.

Only Zhong will be complacent, very frivolous.

Everyone's expressions fell into Sima Zhao's eyes, and Sima Zhao smiled, "Then, who is the governor of Liangzhou? Who is the captain of Xiqiang?"

"Dunhuang prefect Huang Fulong, a veteran of the four dynasties, is over a hundred years old. Zhangye prefect Du Tong was rescued by Wu Qiujian's father Wu Qiuxing. Jiuquan prefect Wang Huiyang is a Dongping scholar, but a scholar is not enough to succeed. Only Wuji Captain Ma Yan, a wealthy family in Xiliang, has guarded the Western Regions for more than [-] years. He can be promoted to rule the west of Liangzhou, and then promoted to the captain of Xiqiang Shoutian, who controls the north of Liangzhou. Ai Zhi Liangzhou to the east, although Yang Zheng cannot be defeated, but it only needs to be delayed for a few years, and after a few years, the Central Plains will be restored, and an army of one million will be able to march west in one fell swoop and destroy Yang Zheng."

When the new master came to power, Zhong Hui would shake out all the contents of his stomach in order to win Sima Zhao's favor.

Sima Zhao laughed loudly, and took Zhong Hui's hand, "With Shi Ji here, why worry about Yang'er not being destroyed?"

Everyone bowed their hands in congratulations.

After everyone left, Wang Su stayed, "Although Zhong Hui has talent, he is frivolous and cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities."

Sima Zhao smiled without saying a word.

Since taking power, Wang Su gradually felt that his son-in-law had changed. Since Sima Zhao didn't say a word, he didn't say much, and left with his hands up.

Not long after, Zhong Hui also came to see him.

Some things cannot be discussed in the open.

"Liangzhou can't be attacked lightly. Zhuge's birthday and the crowds in Yuzhou will enter the birthday spring, and it will be a serious problem for a long time." Zhong Hui went straight to the point as soon as he came in.

Opposite Liangzhou was a weary Yongzhou. Ever since Cao Shuang's [-] men attacked Shu, Guanzhong hadn't slowed down. Since then, Jiang Wei has frequently invaded north.

But Yangzhou is different.

Huainan was originally a land of money and food, and the surrounding areas of Huainan were also lands of money and food. Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou were all fertile lands.

Moreover, Langya County, the headquarters of Zhuge's family, is in Xuzhou in the northwest...
