Chapter 466 Enable
Luoyang.

Sima Zhao stared blankly at the information sent back by Chang'an.

In the past, every time Yang Zheng made a statement, he would be furious in front of everyone, but this time he didn't say a word, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

The atmosphere in the hall also seemed to be frozen, and it was difficult to breathe.

Sima Fu's death is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the entire Sima family.

After the death of Liu Fang and Sun Zi, Sima Fu was undoubtedly the leader of the Central Plains gentry, and no one was more virtuous than him.

In this regard, Sima Yi after Luoshui's oath can't compare.

"Attack 16 troops in Luoyang, and then recruit [-] troops from Qing, Xu, Yanyu, Youji, and Ping Liangzhou with me, and smash Yang's bandits into thousands of pieces!" Finally, Sima Zhao gritted his teeth.

Without Sima Fu, he would have to spend more thought and energy to maintain balance with the gentry.

Excluding the three front lines of Bing, Jing, and Yang, the six states in the hinterland of the Central Plains are all on the list of sending troops.

It can be seen that Sima Zhao is determined this time.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and none of them dared to persuade. In the past, there was Wang Su who dared to stand up to everyone's opinions. In the first year of Ganlu, Wang Su died of illness, and Sima Zhao lost another powerful arm in the gentry.

Only Chen Tai got up and said: "Huainan has just been pacified, the country is empty, the gentry is exhausted, the people are poor, and the right time and place are not on my side. At this time, we can't go on an expedition. For the present plan, we should strengthen the Linjin, Tongguan, Wuguan, and Taiyuan four It is enough to defend the land. Two years later, the Central Plains will be restored, and the long soldiers can be driven to plow the courtyard to sweep the caves. The bitter cold land of Liangzhou is barren and sparsely populated. Although it is prosperous for a while, it will not be able to resist the Central Plains. Stop the wrath of thunder, and put the country first."

Sima Fu and Wang Su passed away one after another, and Chen Tai's status in the gentry became increasingly prominent.

As for Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, Xun Xu, Pei Xiu, Wang Xiang and others, they are not on the same level as Chen Tai.

In addition, Chen Tai, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhaonai were the chief acquaintances.

Even though Sima Zhao had a monstrous anger in his heart, he couldn't express it to him.

In fact, once the anger is spoken, it is not so serious.

Sima Zhao knew better about the domestic situation than Chen Tai.

"Wang Ji is a veteran of the country. He didn't expect to be defeated by the bandits in a single battle. I'm disappointed." Sima Zhao sighed.

"The western thief coveted Chang'an not for a while. Two years ago, they planned and plundered cavalry many times to test the situation in Guanzhong. The timing of sending troops this time is just right. Chang'an is short of food and grass. Wang Ji's army came from a long way. The soldiers fought fiercely for a year. Tired, so that it was taken advantage of by thieves, but Liangzhou is finally a corner of the land, the great general calmed the world, the power shook the sea, Wu and Shu bowed their heads, just need to rest for two years, the food and grass army is fully prepared, Yongliang can go down with a drum .” Chen Tai said in relief.

Sima Zhao nodded in agreement, secretly regretting being transferred from Chen Tai back then.

If he had been guarding Chang'an, he would not have lost today.

"Chang'an is the capital of the country, and now it has fallen into the hands of thieves, why do people in the world think of the general?" Seeing that Sima Zhao's anger was gradually extinguished, Zhong Hui suddenly said.

The atmosphere became tense again.

Chang'an is not an ordinary city, and it dealt a great blow to Sima Zhao politically.

When Sima Yi and Sima Shi came to power, not a single inch of land was lost, but when you Sima Zhao came to power, not only Longyou was lost, but Chang'an was also lost...

Sima Zhao may not need to explain to the people of the world, but he needs to explain to the nobles.

Sure enough, Sima Zhao frowned, "Does Shi Ji have a good plan?"

Zhong Hui cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate is willing to lead an army to regain Chang'an!"

As soon as these words came out, even Chen Tai gave him a high look.

Chang'an fell, Sima Fu and Wang Ji were killed in battle, Pang Hui surrendered, the world was shaken, and the talk of Western Thieves turned pale.

Zhong Hui dared to send troops at this time, and he was very courageous.

Sima Zhao hesitated, the loss of Chang'an was a stain on him.

However, Sima Shi once told him in person that Zhong Hui should not be alone.

His wife, Wang Yuanji, also said that when meeting with others, he would forget his righteousness and make trouble.

But right now, apart from Zhong Hui, Chen Tai is the one who can be of great use.

Chen Tai made Sima Zhao even more worried.

On the one hand, Chen Tai made a serious mistake, if he hadn't stood still back then, Yang Zheng would have been wiped out long ago.

On the other hand, Chen Tai is a well-known supporter of Cao faction, if he has the military power, it will be hard to say what will happen in the future.

During the three rebellions in Huainan, Zhong Hui repeatedly made ingenious schemes. He was a military counselor beside Sima Zhao, and he was also a man proficient in military strategy.

Moreover, before Zhuge Dan's rebellion, Zhong Hui once advised him that Zhuge Dan's household dog only wanted to separate the regime, and he should first wipe out Liangzhou and then Huainan.

It was just that most people opposed it at that time, so it was not implemented.

Jia Chong cupped his hands and said, "Shi Ji is very human. If we go here, we will be able to defeat the enemy and restore Chang'an."

After thinking about it carefully, Sima Zhao glanced over the people in the hall and landed on Chen Tai's face, Chen Tai nodded slightly.

"I don't have to worry about Shi Ji going to Yongliang!" Sima Zhao nodded, but his eyes sparkled, "I don't know how many people Shi Ji will bring there?"

"Forty thousand troops are enough." Zhong Hui said in astonishment.

"There are 4 thieves and [-] scholars?" Sima Zhao asked in surprise.

"The key to using troops is to judge the situation and the situation. The subordinates will go here and make every step of the way. What can a thief do to me?" Zhong Hui was full of confidence.

Jia Chong took the opportunity to send another flattery, "Shi Ji has a conspiracy of ghosts and gods, and it is really extraordinary."

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "Grandpa's absurd praise, this battle must be won, how about going?"

Jia Chong waved his hands again and again, "I don't understand military strategy, and I won't be able to help Shi Ji when I go."

Sima Zhao's expression changed, Jia Chong and Zhong Hui disagreed, everyone knew that he would not be so kind to help.

Of course, Jia Chong's relationship with most of the gentry in Luoyang was not good. Others were all coy and covert to seek refuge with the Sima clan, but Jia Chong did not hide it. In order to hug Sima Zhao's thigh, even Jia Kui's reputation no more.

That makes things so unseemly.

It also broke the rules and tacit understanding of the gentry.

If Zhonghui wanted an army of one hundred thousand, Sima Zhao might not give it.

But 4 horses, it is not too much, and it is not too much, just stepping on Sima Zhao's allowable range.

With Zhong Hui's ability, if there is a deep ditch and a high fortress at every step, how can the Liang army have a chance?
In fact, looking back at the entire process of the Battle of Chang'an, it can be found that Wang Ji's countermeasures were absolutely correct at the beginning, using Zheng County as his base camp, and controlling the surrounding area, but Wang Ji was good at attacking, and he failed to stabilize, so he suffered a crushing defeat.

"Yes, I will report to Your Majesty here. I will seal Shiji as General Zhengxi and the commander of all military forces in Guanzhong. The armies of Linjin, Tongguan, and Wuguan are all at your disposal!" Sima Zhao made the final decision.

"Thank you, General!" Zhong Hui bowed on one knee.

But Sima Zhao rolled his eyes in his long and narrow eye sockets, "Shi Ji is weak now, I will let three more talented people assist you."

Just as Zhong Hui was about to speak, Sima Zhao raised his hand and pressed it down, "No. 1, Uncle Yang Hu, the servant of Huangmen, this son has the talent of Wang Zuo, the second is Wang Hun, the servant of Sanqi, and the third is Hongnong." Wang Jun."

It is said to be an assistance, but it is actually a restriction.

Yang Hu and Sima Zhao were related by marriage. Wang Hun was the son of Wang Chang, the great general who conquered the South.

None of the three belonged to the Yingchuan gentry.

At the same time, Shandong, Hongnong, and Taiyuan gentry were tied together to check and balance with Zhonghui.

The general who conquered the west and the governor of all the military forces in Guanzhong was missing only one festival.

Sima Zhao's employment is tight.
