The last three kingdoms

Chapter 331
Pei Xiu glanced at Jia Chong, and Jia Chong had a dignified look on his face, but Pei Xiu knew that Jia Chong's ruthlessness was like a scorpion's shit in the Wei Dynasty - the only one, it was Jia Chong who led people to kill the king and kill the king. Cao Mao, the current emperor, was protected by Sima Zhao. In the end, he was only let Cheng Ji take the blame for him, and Jia Chong had nothing to do.

Pei Xiu and Deng Ai had a good relationship, and immediately said: "Deng Ai was forced to come to Shu because of poverty, and it seems that the crime of Xia Hou's dominance is not as good as his family."

During the Three Kingdoms period, it seemed that they were more tolerant towards those who surrendered to the enemy. After Xia Houba surrendered to the Shu Kingdom alone, the court did not severely punish his two sons who stayed in the Wei Kingdom, let alone wiped out the three tribes. Zhonglang general Guo Xun was captured by Jiang Wei After he surrendered, he became the left general of the Shu Han Dynasty. Cao Wei didn't seem to punish his family deliberately. On the contrary, Guo Xun later assassinated Fei Yi, which surprised the people of Wei State. Wei Emperor Cao Fang also chased Guo Xun as his The Marquis of Changle Township, let his son inherit the title.Even after Jiang Wei descended to Shu, his mother was never implicated.

Not only the State of Wei, but also the State of Shu was relatively lenient to those who surrendered. For example, Liu Bei released Xu Shu himself, and after Huang Quan surrendered to the enemy, Liu Bei did not hold him accountable.

In Pei Xiu's view, Jia Chong made a fuss out of a molehill, and Deng Ai's surrender to Shu did not mean surrendering voluntarily, but due to the situation after the defeat, he should be treated leniently.

Jia Chong said: "At this time and at that time, it is true that Deng Ai was forced to surrender, but the loss of Longxi this time was that he took the initiative to recruit Qianhong. His kindness can be punished. The king of Jin must punish him severely, and serve him with respect, so as to deter those who are lucky enough to defect to the enemy and treason."

Sima Zhao's eyes became sharper. Deng Ai was indeed a poor man picked up by his father Sima Yi, and he could be regarded as a dead man of his Sima family. He didn't expect Deng Ai to join the enemy in front of the battle, and now he was helping him. The enemy strikes back.If a person is bitten by a wild dog, he may not have much hatred, but if he is bitten by his own dog, the hatred will be great.Sima Zhao's mood at this time was as if he had been bitten by his own dog, full of resentment, and said coldly: "Gong Lu, I will leave this matter to you."

"I obey." There was a flattering smile on Jia Chong's face, with a kind of arrogance of a villain.The reason why Jia Chong wanted to put Deng Ai's family to death was because Jia Chong and Chen Tai had a feud. After Jia Chong killed the king, Chen Tai tried to kill Jia Chong, and the relationship between Deng Ai and Chen Tai was extraordinary. At that time, Deng Ai also tried his best to support Chen Tai's proposal, so he was hated by Jia Chong.

Pei Xiu was speechless, feeling a chill in her heart. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. It seems to be true. In the future when I work with Jia Chong, I have to be more careful, not to get close So, don't offend him, if something falls into his hands, you will never want to stand up again in this life.

In the next few days, battle reports from Longyou continued to come in. They were all depressing news. Longxi fell, Tianshui fell, Anding fell, Guangwei fell, and Nanan fell. In less than half a month, Longyou The five prefectures in his hometown were all lost. Suddenly, the government and the public were shaken. In Luoyang City, everyone was talking about Liu Yin who descended from the sky like a magic soldier. The listener is dumbfounded and mesmerized.

However, Sima Zhao could hold his breath, because the fall of the Longyou counties had already been expected by him, and all counterattack plans were also brewing.After Sima Wang arrived at Ren Chang'an, he joined forces with Zhuge Xu, governor of Yongzhou, to preside over the overall defense of Guanzhong, shrinking troops, and built the first line of defense in Chencang to prevent the infiltration of the Shu army into Guanzhong, and prepare for a counterattack next spring.

Zhuge Xu was deprived of military power by Zhong Hui when he was in Jiange. After being escorted back to Luoyang, Sima Zhao did not hold him accountable. Instead, he was reinstated and returned to Yongzhou as the governor.How could Zhong Hui's tricks deceive Sima Zhao? Although Sima Zhao reused Zhong Hui, he was very cautious, and Zhuge Xu had no faults, so naturally he would not severely punish him.

Jia Chong left in good spirits and returned in disappointment.It turned out that when he led his troops to Deng's mansion, the Deng's mansion had already been empty. After asking all the neighbors, no one could tell when Heqing Deng's family left the capital.Jia Chong only thought that Deng Ai took precautions in advance and moved his family away, but the world is so big, trying to find Deng Ai's family is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and Jia Chong had to give up resentfully.

It turned out that this was Liu Yin's earlier arrangement. Not long after Deng Ai's surrender, Liu Yin secretly ordered the spy personnel of the Lieutenant's Mansion hiding in Luoyang to secretly protect Deng Ai's family just in case, and immediately sent Deng Ai to the police station. If his family is transferred away, Sima Zhao must not be killed.

Zhong Hui also received the news of Liu Yin's march into Longxi, and was deeply shocked. Guan Longwei was the logistics channel for the entire army of conquering Shu. If something happened in Longxi, it was tantamount to a great threat to Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui felt it more than anyone else. Nervous, but without Sima Zhao's order, he did not dare to return to Longxi easily, so he had to write to Sima Zhao to express his feelings, asking Sima Zhao to agree to send troops back to rescue Longxi.

Sima Zhao did not agree, and ordered Zhonghui to stick to the city of Yizhou that he had already won, and to take the entire Shuzhong and Nanzhong as soon as possible, which was Zhonghui's biggest goal. Don't worry, Sima Zhao has already thought about the strategy of defeating the enemy, and he will march when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming next year.

Sima Zhao is planning a big game of chess, and destroying the Kingdom of Shu is only the first step. How to unify the world and win the world is his ultimate goal. Now that the Kingdom of Shu has not been taken down, he will return to Longxi at this moment , then the price paid by Wei Guo in the past two years has really become nothing. This situation is absolutely intolerable to Sima Zhao.

Liu Yin only had [-] soldiers, and Sima Zhao didn't take it seriously at all. If it wasn't for the delay due to the heavy snow, it is very likely that Wei's army would have already flattened Longyou by this time. Where can Liu Yin calmly fight? City after city was fought.

"Let's make you proud for a while, next spring will be the time for us to compete, and then you will naturally spit it out with profit!" Sima Zhao smiled half-smile, and wrinkles climbed up his forehead, but blocked Can't stop his ambition.

Sima Zhao stared at the windy and snowy west, his thoughts were in a trance, as if he had returned to the time when he was General Anxi, traveling across Longyou...
