Chapter 546
Sima Zhao was also taken aback.

Zhong Hui went north, under the guise of returning to Luoyang, and arrived in Yique within a few days.

Fortunately, Sima Zhao had 7000 troops in Yique Guantun, so Zhonghui was not allowed to flood into the Luoyang Basin.

But in this way, the 12 Chinese troops were excited.

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

The military spirit that originally favored Sima also gradually turned to Zhonghui.

However, Zhong Hui grasped the proportions very well, blocked the Yique pass, and appeased the soldiers so that they would not kill each other.

An army of 14 was blocked at Yique Pass, putting Luoyang under tremendous pressure.

Sima Zhao thought he understood 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 calms down.

No matter whether Zhong will stay in Wancheng or go straight to Xuchang, it will not change the ending of being dealt with in the end. The Twelfth Chinese Army will not obey orders from a commander who has a bad reputation.

Originally, Sima Zhao took into account the past affection and let Zhong Hui have a good death.

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

"Does Zhonghui really want to be my enemy?" Sima Zhao's eyes were full of murderous intent.

When Zhong Hui led the army to march west, many people in the court persuaded him not to do so.

Even Sima Zhao's wife, Wang Yuanji, tried her best to dissuade him: meeting with others and forgetting righteousness would cause trouble.

Now it has come true.

"This matter seems a little unreasonable!" Jia Chong twisted his beard, his triangular eyes narrowed into long slits.

"What's unreasonable?"

"If Zhonghui entered Luoyang, he would not have stayed in Wancheng for more than ten days. Instead, he should have taken Yiqueguan when he was unprepared, and directly sent troops to Luoyang city!" Good at trying to figure out 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.

Jia Chong is the only one he can rely on now. Others like Chen Tai and Xun Xu have their own little thoughts.

Only Jia Chong put himself in his shoes.

"Even if Zhonghui has an army of 14, it is not enough to break through Luoyang. Why does Zhonghui go north?" Jia Chong asked.

"There must be an internal response in Luoyang!" Sima Zhao said coldly.

"It must not be an ordinary person who can respond to Zhong Hui." Jia Chong's eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.

"Not ordinary people?" Sima Zhao checked one by one in his mind.

Chen Tai?

With his personality, he would not do such a thing, let alone join forces with Zhong Hui.

Xun Xu?
Although they are nephews and uncles, they have always been at odds. In the early years, Wei Wu gave Yitian Sword to his son-in-law Hussar General Xun Kui, and then passed it into the hands of Xun Xu. Xun Xu placed it in the hands of his mother, Mrs. Zhong. Ask for it, and take it as my own from then on, and the two have been at odds since then.

The only person who might support Zhong Hui is naturally his elder brother Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu also reminded Sima Zhao in the early years: it is difficult to guarantee the skill of meeting, and he cannot be full-time.

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

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

Jia Chong smiled and said, "Who else could it be?"

Sima Zhao's expression sank, but he quickly smiled contemptuously, "It seems that he has not given up all these years."

"How could that person give up?"

"Almost forgot there was him, it seems I have to beat him again!"

In Lingyun Terrace, Emperor Cao Mao was also waiting anxiously.

The person Sima Zhao and Jia Chong talked about was the Emperor Wei himself!

For so many years, Cao Mao never gave up.

It is also impossible to give up!

He also wants to reproduce his Shaokang rule.

When Master Sima died, Cao Mao, who had just succeeded to the throne, dared to order Sima Zhao Xuchang to attend the funeral, and Fu Gu returned to Luoyang with [-] Chinese troops.

The move 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 the troops back to Luo in person.

Every time Cao Mao recalled the past, his heart was pierced with a knife, and he was full of ambitions, but he was controlled by others. He could only find some comfort in looking for Shaokang's past in the pile of old papers.

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

"Your Majesty, Zhong Huifei is someone you can trust." Li Zhao persuaded.

Cao Mao said: "I have never trusted him. Zhong Hui is Sima Zhao's mastermind. If he can separate the two, Sima Zhao will lose an arm. If Zhong Hui succeeds, other Sima clans will counterattack. I may have one." Two chances."

"Your Majesty is wise and will surely revive the Great Wei Society."

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

Even if Zhong Hui succeeds, how can he know that he is not the next Sima Yi?
Cao Mao knew very well that Cao Wei had no hope until today.

Even though Sima Zhao was defeated by Feng Sa, the gentry still insisted on him and refused the emperor's solicitation.

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

If you take the world with a sword, that's all.

Sima Yi's two generations entrusted Gu, swore an oath in Luoshui, and deceived people all over the world.

Li Zhao and Jiao Bo were full of tears, they were the old people of Donghai Palace, they grew up with the emperor.

They have seen all the efforts made by the emperor to help Wei.

Winning over the gentry, studying the Tao, fighting for everything that can be won, and winning over all the people who can be won over.

However, Cao Wei's country is still crumbling, and there is no improvement.

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

It stands to reason that Wei welcomes a promising king, but the heavens are not blessed, the timing is too bad.

At this time, the small yellow door outside the palace reported: "Your Majesty, the king of Jingzhou has written a letter to the governor."

"Present." Cao Mao was a little surprised.

Wang Jing is a pawn he lays out outside. Since it doesn't work in the Luoyang court, he can only draw Qin Wang's power outside.

But it is not a good sign to suddenly write a letter at this time.

After Cao Mao finished reading it, his complexion quickly darkened. He didn't care about the interests of the emperor, and said angrily: "Sima Gou is bullying me too much!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down," Li Zhao Jiao Bo hurriedly advised.

"Why don't I calm down, Sima Zhao transferred Yanwei back to Luo!" Cao Mao was desperate, feeling like a moth, he couldn't escape the Sima family's snare no matter what.

Li Zhao and Jiao Bo are middle-aged people, they can neither make suggestions nor solve problems.

After a long time, Cao Mao stood up from the imperial platform and paced back and forth, "Sima Zhao recalled Yanwei at this time, intending to beat me, he must have heard some wind!"

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

"This time he was defeated, in order to regain his prestige, he will definitely deal with me, and it's time to see him." Cao Mao's eyes were shining with danger and excitement.

A power minister who wants to go further, an emperor who is unwilling to yield.

This day will come sooner or later.

"Li Zhao, Uncle Jiao, listen to the order, the two of you recruited the loyal and brave old guard Cangtou Guantong to train secretly!" Cao Mao regained his composure, but the hatred in his eyes became more intense.
