The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1122
Xia Houxian was unaware that someone would be following him behind his back. On the way back to Zhongfu after leaving Yuelai Inn, Xia Houxian couldn't hide his excitement.

He has not returned to Luoyang for more than ten years, which made Xiahouxian feel a little strange. Even when he knocked on the door of the Shibo Xiahouxiu's mansion, Xiahouxian was a little uneasy. Don't give him face.

Fortunately, Xia Houxian's status as a general of Xia Houxian's army has helped him a lot now. Not only the little people in charge of Xia Houxiu's mansion are respectful, but even Xia Houxiu came out to greet him in person with a smile, which made Xia Houxian unable to help It is full of emotions, the world is hot and cold, and the warmth and coldness of human feelings can be seen.

You must know that when Xia Houxian was young, his father passed away early, their family was poor, they had no food and clothing, and they were looked down upon by their fellow clansmen.

It was also Xia Houxian who worked hard back then, studied military books hard, and practiced martial arts hard, and finally became a Yamen general in Wei State, and accompanied Zhong Hui to the Shu State.

Originally, Xia Houxian thought that he would do more meritorious deeds before the battle, and after the destruction of the Shu Kingdom in the future, he could be promoted to rank and honor his family.

But I didn't expect that the battle would go on endlessly, and I had been entangled in Yizhou for many years. In the end, Xia Houxian got nothing and followed Zhong Hui out of Yizhou.

This made Xia Houxian very reconciled. Originally, he had hoped that he could get ahead by virtue of his military exploits, but if he returned to Luoyang like this, wouldn't it make his fellow clan laugh out loud.

Therefore, Xia Houxian actively climbed up, and Zhong Hui intended to rebel, so Xia Houxian became his confidant and actively supported him.In Xia Houxian's view, as long as there is a chance for promotion, he should never let it go, let alone a matter of life and death. If he does not support Zhong Hui, he may even die.

Xia Houxian changed himself and became the hero of the restoration of the Wei State's restoration forces, and then changed again and became the general guarding the Shu Han.

This back and forth change of identity made Xia Houxian a little at a loss, but from the first moment he returned to the family, he thought that his decision was so wise. Looking at the attitude of Xia Houxiu's family, there is no need to doubt anything up.

In the face of power, anyone and any force will choose to submit, and the Cao clan is no exception.

Naturally, the task this time was completed quite smoothly, and it was precisely because of Xia Houxian that he won the honor of being successful immediately.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the Cao clan's desire for restoration. Under Sima Yan's powerful rule, the Cao clan lived on thin ice and lived in trembling. Of course, they longed for the Cao Wei era, where their own people were still the emperor. The era of great events.

When the small flame hidden deep in his heart was ignited, Xia Houxiu's heart was so excited.When Xia Houxian first came to the mansion, it was because Xia Houxian's status and official position brought him some pressure, so Xia Houxiu had to treat him politely.

But when Xia Houxian confessed the purpose of this trip to him, Xia Houxiu was extremely excited in his heart. This is their own nephew, the eternal fire of the Cao clan.

Zhong Hui set up a banner against Wei and Jin in Xiangyang, and established himself as King Xing of Wei. This was well known in Luoyang City, and Xia Houxiu was no exception. Since he was loyal to Wei, he deserved Xia Houxiu's respect.

This time Xia Houxian came back, and he brought Zhong Hui's password. This time, Zhong Hui will still hold high the banner of Wei to destroy the Shu Han and restore the Cao Wei Empire.

The two sides hit it off, and the matter was initially settled.

As Xia Houxiu, if he was dealt with, he would basically be able to deal with half of the Cao clan. Xia Houxian and Xia Houxiu agreed that Xia Houxiu would then come forward to contact the Cao clan and secretly raise an army that could be used. When to act, Xia Houxian will come again to convey Zhonghui's order.

Successfully completing the mission and achieving success immediately made Xia Houxian so excited that he was so carried away that he didn't realize that his travels had already been exposed to the close surveillance of the Lieutenant's Mansion. After returning to the Zhongfu, he immediately reported to Zhonghui.

Zhong Hui sent Xia Houxian to contact the Cao clan, and Wang Mai and Zhong Yong to contact the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty. Wang Mai and Zhong Yong hadn't sent back any news, but Xia Houxian had a better start. , which put Zhong Hui in a good mood.

This time the rebellion plan is far more dangerous than when it was in Xiangyang. Zhong Hui has no confidence at all. Now that he can win the support of one more force, it will be extremely valuable to Zhong Hui of.

"General Xiahou, thank you for your hard work this time." Zhong Hui laughed loudly.

Although Xia Houxian has meritorious service, he is still very low-key and humble. After following Zhong Hui for many years, Xia Houxian has already grasped Zhong Hui's temper clearly.Zhong Hui was talented in writing, but he especially hated those who were proud of their talents, such as Ji Kang and Ruan Ji among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and the death of Ji Kang was planned by Zhong Hui.

So Xia Houxian said very wittily: "It is Wei Xing Wang Hongfu Qitian, and the Cao family supports him wholeheartedly. They have long hoped for the king's arrival. The lowly position is just a quick job."

It had been a long time since Zhong Hui had heard the name of King Xing of Wei. At this time, Xiahou Xian called out again, which made Zhong Hui feel a little uncomfortable. It doesn’t need to be called that.”

Xia Houxian said: "In Beizhi's heart, the king will always be the king of Wei Xing, no, it will only go further in the future."

A smile appeared on Zhong Hui's face, and he said: "By your good words, when the day comes, I will definitely not treat you poorly. Well, I can only say this by closing the door Let’s talk about it, when you’re outside, you can’t mess up how to call it.”

"Humble job remembers."

"General Xiahou, you performed extraordinary this time. You took the lead in gaining the support of the Cao clan. With this help, great things can be achieved. In order not to make people suspicious, you should stop contacting your family members frequently for the time being. You stay at my house first, and wait for the next plan."

"No." Xia Houxian bowed his hands and stepped back.

The smile on Zhong Hui's face is slowly fading. It is indeed a good thing to have the support of the Cao clan, but Zhong Hui knows very well that this is not enough to compete with the power of the Shu Han court. The support of the remnants of Jin is not enough.

The key now is whether there will be internal strife within the Kingdom of Shu. If Liu Xun and Liu Chen did not fight for the throne, and Jiang Wei and Liu Yin did not support them behind their backs, then Zhong Hui's plan would be in vain in the end. , what Zhonghui lacks now is the east wind of this scene.
