The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1117

It is true that Xia Houxian has a special mission to go home this time.Zhong Hui is a very ambitious person. Originally, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Jiang Wei. Zhong Hui naturally refused to surrender to Shu. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, with Zhong Hui's ambition, he will definitely launch a rebellion again.

With the strength of Zhonghui's current troops, it is naturally not enough to make a big deal, not to mention whether Jiang Wei transferred Zhonghui's army to Guangcheng Pass, which is far away from Luoyang, whether it is Jiang Wei's intention or not. With the strength of Luoyang, it is basically a luxury to want to control Luoyang.

But Zhong Hui was not too reconciled to accept the reality like this. In his opinion, there was bound to be a power struggle within the court of Shu Kingdom because of the throne, and this struggle would inevitably affect the entire city of Luoyang. The major factions in the country will definitely be busy with civil strife and will not take care of others. For Zhong Hui, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If this opportunity is missed, Zhong Hui can only die alone in the court of Shu Han. There is no chance of a comeback.

Now the relationship between Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei is maintained well, Zhong Hui has also been appreciated and reused by Jiang Wei, but after all, Jiang Wei is already an old man over seventy years old. In the new year, there is not much time left, and Zhong Hui is in his prime, and there is still a long way to go. If Jiang Wei dies, then the power of Jiang Wei's family will definitely disappear, and Liu Yin will definitely hold the power alone. At that time, Zhonghui's position must be extremely embarrassing.

Jiang Wei can promise Zhonghui to keep the military privileges, but Liu Yin may not agree. Now that the state of Jin has been destroyed, Zhonghui's use value has been greatly reduced. If Liu Yin insists on taking away Zhonghui's military power in the future, Zhong Hui didn't have much power to resist.

And once he loses his military power, Zhong Hui will be reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others. If Liu Yin is kind, Zhong Hui may still have an idle job until he dies.If Liu Yin was cruel and ruthless, he could easily end Zhong Hui's life by finding any crime.

Zhong Hui naturally refused to rely on others, and according to his observation, Liu Yin was not a good friend. In terms of eliminating differences and attacking hostile forces, Liu Yin's methods have always been vigorous and decisive.

Instead of being forced to rebel again in the future, it is better for him to take the initiative now. Zhong Hui has now persuaded Jiang Wei to support Liu Xun. As long as they fight for the throne, Zhong Hui will rebel again. Opportunities and conditions are fully ripe.

Zhong Hui has always been a person who is good at taking risks. He wants to go if he has the conditions, and he has to go if he doesn't have the conditions to create the conditions. His subordinates lack control over Luoyang City, but this does not prevent Zhong Hui from finding another way out.

In Luoyang City, there are many forces from the former Jin and Wei. These remnants of the former dynasties do not have a good impression of the Shu Kingdom. As long as there is a suitable opportunity and a suitable leader, they will inevitably rise up.

The current core of power in the Kingdom of Shu is all concentrated in Luoyang. As long as they are taken away, the remaining forces will be leaderless. Zhong Hui will not have any worries at all. Even if there are any changes in the future, it will no longer be Zhong Hui now. Things that need to be considered, the most taboo thing for those who have achieved great things in ancient times is to worry about gains and losses. If this opportunity is lost, Zhong Hui will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Zhong Hui told Xia Houxian the matter of contacting the Cao clan of the former Wei power. After all, as a member of the Cao clan, Xia Houxian can still speak in the family anyway. Zhong Hui told Xiahouxian As long as he raises the banner of King Xing of Wei, the people of the Cao clan will definitely support him greatly. As for whether Zhong Hui will continue to use the banner of the former Wei Dynasty or proclaim himself emperor, that will be another story Well, by then, the power of the Cao clan will become insignificant.

Xia Houxian is determined to Zhonghui and obeys his words. From the point of view, it is not important to restore the Wei State. Their side branch is far away from the Cao family's royal blood, just like Liu Bei who sells straw sandals. The great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, King Jing of Zhongshan, later boasted and boasted to raise his own status, but it was actually useless at all.Xia Houxian doesn't even have the chance to show his identity now. After all, the Sima family was in power before. After the fall of Sima Jin, it was the restoration of the Han Dynasty. If he didn't have Zhong Hui's support, he would want to make a living in the army , is not easy.

In order to repay Zhong Hui's kindness, Xia Houxian naturally took over the burden of contacting the Cao clan. He could have swaggered in the daytime and returned to his home with an excuse to visit relatives, but Xia Houxian, who was a guilty conscience, thought about it. Once again, I decided to sneak home quietly in the dead of night.

After all, doing such a thing is shady. Considering that going home during the day will inevitably attract a lot of attention, Xia Houxian decided to go home at night for the sake of privacy, because he thinks it is the safest way to avoid all eyes and ears , to achieve the effect of being invisible.

When Xia Houxian left Zhongfu, it was almost dusk. He first found an inn to stay. After making sure that no one was following him, Xia Houxian changed his armor and put on ordinary blue clothes. At this moment, Xia Houxian Xian, even if he was walking on the streets of the busy city, no one would recognize him.

But for the sake of caution, Xia Houxian left the inn at around the second watch and headed towards his own house.

Xia Houxian has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are also good. Although the curfew has been enforced in Luoyang City, it is not difficult for Xia Houxian to avoid those patrolling guards. He soon approached his yard.

In fact, Xia Houxian didn't intend to go home. Both of Xia Houxian's parents died, and he only had one younger brother who worked as a jailer in the sky prison. Xia Houxian had no intention of telling his younger brother about this at all.

Xia Houxian was going home this time, and he was going to visit his family uncle. Xia Houxiu, who had served as the Minister of Zhongshu during the Cao Wei period, although Xia Houxiu is now old and idle at home, his status and reputation have always been They should not be underestimated, and have a great influence among the Cao clan.Now the surnamed Cao has been persecuted crazily by the Sima family, and it has gradually declined. On the contrary, the Xiahou family, which has the same origin as the Cao family, has a prosperous population and is quite prosperous.

Xiahouxiu is Xiahouyuan's nephew who has not been released into the fifth service, and he is one of the few wealthy families in the Xiahou family. If Xia Xian wants to get the help of the Cao family, Xiahouxiu is a good breakthrough.
