The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1167 Cold Treatment

Excluding those who participated in the rebellion, there are still more than [-] men under Jiang Wei and more than [-] men under Zhong Hui. They are now stationed at Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Dagu Pass and Yuyuan Pass in the south of Luoyang. The area, equivalent to the entire south of Luoyang, is under the control of the remnants of Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui.

Jiang Wei and Zhonghui launched a rebellion——Jiang Wei was just a remonstrance, while Zhonghui was an actual rebellion—most of the troops mobilized were their cronies and confidants. On Jiang Wei’s side, only the generals who participated in the remonstrance Ning Sui alone, Zhong Hui, Xia Houxian, Wang Mai, Gou An, Zhong Yong and many other generals participated in the rebellion. Most of these people died in the rebellion, and a few were captured on the spot. What awaited them was severe punishment. .

As for the generals who did not participate in the remonstrance and rebellion, Jiang Wei had Jiang Bin, Wang She, Liu Yin and others on Jiang Wei's side, while Zhong Hui had Tian Xu, Yuan Qing, Huangfu Kai and others on his side.

Although Jiang Bin Wangshe Liuyin is Jiang Wei's subordinate, they are all loyal to Ji Han. Jiang Wei acts secretly, so naturally he dare not use these people, for fear of leaking the news, but in the end, they and Jiang Wei are just The affiliation relationship between superiors and subordinates is not Jiang Wei's confidants or even dead soldiers. Jiang Wei can only use people he trusts in military advice, such as deputy general Ning and his son Jiang Yuan. Jiang Bin and the others have not been in Jiang Wei's consideration.

As for Tian Xu, Yuan Qing, Huangfu Kai and others, when Zhong Hui rebelled against Sima Jin in Xiangyang, they were half-hearted. They were only coerced and threatened by Zhong Hui, and forced to rebel against Zhong Hui. Like Hu Lie, they did not sincerely submit to Zhonghui.

Later, after Hu Lie's betrayal, Zhong Hui simply put these people under house arrest, and was even murderous for a while, wanting to get rid of them quickly.Later, when Zhong Hui surrendered to the Han, these people followed the crowd and became generals of the Han Dynasty. With the fall of the Jin Kingdom, Zhong Hui no longer worried that they would rebel, so he lifted his house arrest and gradually let them serve in the army. He holds an insignificant official position, and the real power in the army has always been controlled by Zhonghui's confidants Xiahou Xianwang Maiju'an and the others.

With the death of Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui and a group of their confidants in Luoyang City, Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui's old troops were in an uproar. The 10,000+ army was panicked and at a loss.

What they are most worried about is that they are afraid that the imperial court will classify them as rebels and destroy them. Although they think that Jiang Weizhong's rebellion has nothing to do with them, and they didn't know it beforehand, they are Jiang Wei and Zhong after all. The subordinates of the society, and such a major event as rebellion and treason, basically have to be punished countless times. Whether they are guilty or not depends not on themselves, but on the attitude of the court. If the court thinks they are guilty, then they will definitely implicated.

In the face of catastrophe, they will definitely seek to protect themselves. The strength of a single person is limited. If they are allowed to fight against the imperial court alone, it is tantamount to shaking a tree. But dozens of people, hundreds of people, or even thousands of people unite , then their strength will become very strong.

Therefore, they unconsciously linked up with each other and formed a secret alliance, but following in Jiang Weizhong's footsteps, they did not have the guts to do it. All they can do now is to wait and see cautiously and see the court What will happen to them there.Of course, if they are really pushed into a hurry, take risks, and do not hesitate to try their own methods, this possibility still exists.

Of course Liu Yin knew what they were thinking now, so when dealing with Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui's funeral, Liu Yin dealt with it as low-key as possible. Except for those rebels who participated in the Kaiyangmen Mutiny, Liu Yin did not carry out any actions. Larger-scale killing and connection to avoid expansion of the investigation.

At this stage, Liu Yin is mainly committed to stabilizing the situation and minimizing the harmful consequences of this rebellion as much as possible. The Jihan court just moved its capital to Luoyang, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity. It is time to revive the court and enter the world. , but suddenly suffered such a major change.If the imperial court uses tough measures to punish the nine clans and implicate subordinates, it will inevitably aggravate the turbulence of the situation.

You know, there are 10,000+ troops in the entire south of Luoyang. These troops were previously under the command of Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui, and Liu Yin couldn't intervene at all. It's really unimaginable.

And Liu Yin also knows that whether it is Jiang Bin, Wang She, Liu Yin or Tian Xu, Yuan Qing, Huang Fukai, they are not the cronies of Jiang Wei or Zhong Hui. Put them in the rear, keep them out of the rebellion.Obviously, they and Jiang Weizhonghui are just ordinary superiors and subordinates, and they did not participate in Jiang Wei and Zhonghui's conspiracy. It is obviously unfair to insist on defining them as Jiang Weizhonghui's accomplices.

Even Jiang Yuan, the son of Jiang Wei who participated in the rebellion, was pardoned by the court for his death penalty, so how could Jiang Weizhong's subordinates who did not participate in the rebellion be convicted?
Liu Yin adopted a cold treatment method for the army in the south of Luoyang. Everything was temporarily maintained as it was, and all food, salaries and military supplies were still allocated according to the original amount, so that their restless emotions could slowly calm down.

This time when Liu Chen succeeded to the throne and enfeoffed all the ministers, he did not forget these generals who commanded the army. Jiang Bin was named General Emeritus, Wang She was named General Pingdong, and Liu Yin was named General Anbei. Tian Xu, Yuan Qing, and Huangfu Kai were named Generals with miscellaneous titles respectively.

The rank of generals in Jihan is the highest with the generals, followed by generals of hussars, generals of chariots, and generals of Wei, and then generals of front, back, left, and right, followed by generals of four campaigns, generals of four towns, generals of Siping, General Si'an, the following are miscellaneous generals, such as General Jianwei, General Zhaowu, General Lijie, General Longxiang and so on.

This is a normal situation. The exception is that if the General Fuguo, General Fuhan, and General Zhenjun among the miscellaneous generals are given the title of Great General, their status will rise several levels. Jue now Hu Ji is serving as the General of the Auxiliary State, and his position is below the General and above the Generals of Front, Front, Front, Left, Left, Right, and on the same level as the Generals of Hussars, Generals of Chariots, and Generals of Wei.

In the same way, if General Zhengxi is added with the name of General, the position will only be ranked below the General, and before the Generals of Front, Front, Left, Left, and Right. Liu Yin once served as the General of Hussars, and his status will surpass other generals. Generals, such as General Zhengxi, General Zhenjun, and General Fuguo, have become No.1 under the generals.
