The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 303 Sima Yi Destroys the Bridge after Crossing the River

At night, the gates of Hanoi were wide open.

Sui Gu led his troops into the city and looked at Yang Chou's mansion in the distance with a look of joy on his face.

The other side has a strong army and horses, and the number is far greater than ours, but what can we do? The noble families in the city do not support the other side, so what can we do even if they have a large number of troops and horses? It can't change any facts.

Yang Chou didn't know all this. He thought that he had a lot of troops and had the guarantee of Sima Yi and others. Once the Cavalry Army entered Hanoi, he would be successful.

He immediately sent hundreds of people to guard his mansion, and took Zhang Yang's concubine into his mansion for his enjoyment. However, he didn't know that because of his arrogance and arrogance, he had already been abandoned by Sima Yi.

In a mansion no more than a hundred steps away from him, the lights were on, and Sima Yi and Dong Zhao were entertaining the noble families of Hanoi.

"Everyone, everyone thinks that the Prime Minister doesn't like aristocratic families. In fact, that's not the case. Yi was born in Hanoi. In the court, aren't the Zhong family, Xun family, Gu family, etc. all from aristocratic families?"

Sima Yi raised his glass and explained with a smile.

Some of the powerful families present at the scene nodded after hearing this. It was indeed the case. Most of the important officials in the court came from noble families.

"In fact, there are two things that the Prime Minister hates the most. First, aristocratic families that commit crimes; second, aristocratic families that have private soldiers. These two things are not only hated by the Prime Minister, but also by other princes."

"Those who commit crimes and oppress the people are likely to cause dissatisfaction among the people. Wasn't Zhang Jue one of them? Didn't Zhang Yan nearby often harass Hanoi?"

"Those who have their own private army are even more dangerous."

"In the final analysis, we should do less things that affect the safety of the Cavalry. We can reduce rent and interest, and the people can pay rent and interest. Isn't that great? We can earn less, but live longer!"

Sima Yi sighed.

The wealthy and powerful people in the hall nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Sima Yi smiled and said nothing.

Like Qin Shou, he also didn't trust these aristocratic families. They were all greedy. How could they give up the benefits they had? As long as there was a chance, these people would still occupy the land to get more.

But now he just wants to stabilize these aristocratic families.

In front of some capable emperors, these people were like fat pigs. When the time came, or the court had no money, they would be pulled out and eaten one by one.

Facts have proven that such things have happened in every dynasty. It's all because these guys have dirty tricks!
"grown ups."

A personal guard came in and whispered something in Sima Yi's ear.

"Do you know what Yang Chou is doing now? He is keeping Zhang Yang's concubine drinking!" Sima Yi shook his head.

Everyone's expression changed slightly when they heard this.

Zhang Yang has a good reputation in Hanoi.

And after all, he was Yang Chou's master. As soon as he died, his wives and concubines were taken away by Yang Chou. This kind of greed is really ugly. Everyone is not a good person, but some things are still done on the surface. At least, they won't be so anxious.

"To be honest, although Zhang Yang wanted to submit to Yuan Shao and was the Prime Minister's enemy, the Prime Minister still had a good impression of Zhang Yang. When Lu Bu was in danger, Zhang Yang wanted to rescue him. When he governed Henei, it couldn't be said that the sea was peaceful and the rivers were clear, but at least he treated the people well."

"The Prime Minister originally wanted to persuade Zhang Yang to surrender, but unfortunately, he was killed by Yang Chou."

Sima Yi said with great regret.

"The Prime Minister is kind and righteous." Everyone praised him. Zhang Yang was kind, and the nobles in the city respected him. But now he was killed by Yang Chou. They still had some resentment towards Yang Chou, but seeing that he had raised his army to submit to the court, they could only keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events. Sima Yi actually disliked Yang Chou. If Sima Yi didn't like him, it meant that the Prime Minister didn't like him. All of a sudden, everyone started to throw dirty water on Yang Chou.

Yang Chou's behavior is really unacceptable.

You killed your master and took his wives and concubines. You should at least wait a few days! Who would want to deal with someone like you if you are so impatient?

"Sir, General Sui Gu led his troops into the city and headed towards General Yang Chou's residence."

Another scout brought news.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and when they saw Sima Yi above, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on their faces.

These people all knew that Sui Gu wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao. Once Sui Gu took up residence in Hanoi, what would they do in the future?
"Lord Sima."

Some people are starting to worry.

"Don't worry. With you all here, Sui Gu won't be able to cause any trouble. Where is this place? This is the territory of the Han Dynasty. What can a small Sui Gu do? Do you think you are all fools? Do you still think this is the era of Zhang Yang? After Zhang Yang was killed, He Nei belonged to the Prime Minister."

Sima Yi said slowly.

After hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly showed complicated expressions. Some smart people had already figured out the mystery.

Although Yang Chou killed Zhang Yang, it caused dissatisfaction among the court. Sima Yi simply borrowed Sui Gu's hand to eliminate Yang Chou and avoid damaging the reputation of the prime minister.

However, Sui Gu only had his own troops. After he killed Yang Chou, his troops would also be damaged and he would be unable to change the situation in Hanoi. The Cavalry Army could easily take control of Hanoi.

After losing Zhang Yang, Yang Chou and Sui Gu, who in Hanoi dares to stop the Cavalry Army?
As a result, the Cavalry Army took no effort at all and just let Sima Yi and Dong Zhao talk and they solved the problem of Hanoi.

It’s really brilliant!
After these smart people figured out the secret, they all looked at the young man in front of them with horror. The plan was vicious, but this kind of inconsistency and the method of crossing the river and destroying the bridge made people afraid.

Even if Yang Chou was responsible for this, Sima Yi's breach of trust will always be criticized.

At this time, there were faint shouts and screams coming from outside.

"After tonight, peace will return to Hanoi, and you can all live a good life."

Sima Yi's face was calm, and he didn't care about everyone's thoughts at all.

War is a treacherous path! What if he loses his promise? He just needs to complete the task, and the rest is out of his control.

"Excuse me, sir, have the Prime Minister's troops arrived?"

A smart person immediately asked.

"General Dian Wei has led 5,000 cavalrymen into the camp outside the city and will soon enter the city to quell the rebellion."

With the help of Xue Hong and Miao Shang, the Cavalry Army had already entered Hanoi, but Yang Chou and Sui Gu didn't know about it. The two were still killing each other, and in the end, Qin Shou was the only one who benefited.

Two dogs fight, play off.
