The last three kingdoms

Chapter 593 Who is the Winner
From Luoyang to Xiangyang, the road is quite flat, the wide official road is full of traffic and people are busy, Liu Yin and his party are mixed in the flow of business travelers, they are not too conspicuous, they walk slowly.

The reason why they walked slowly was that they were escorting a large amount of goods. Since they were merchants, they would not look empty-handed, otherwise they would be easily spotted by the Wei soldiers guarding the checkpoints. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the bulk commodities exported from the south to the north were silk and For tea, there are more varieties of commodities exported from the north to the south, such as jewelry, jade, horses, spices, medicinal materials, ironware, etc. Liu Yin and his party specially purchased bulk goods, such as jade and medicinal materials, in order to pretend to be merchants. , ironware, etc. These goods are loaded on the vehicle, which is very heavy, which will naturally affect the speed of travel; secondly, since you are a merchant, there is no need to rush on the road desperately. It is very suitable to travel at sunrise and rest at sunset. The businessman's behavior style.

When Liu Yin arrived in Luoyang, he pretended to be a merchant, and even saved Shi Chong on the way. This time when he left Beijing, he still pretended to be a merchant, but this time he dressed more professionally, more like a It is a group of merchants.

In addition to pretending to be a merchant, Liu Yin's appearance has also changed a lot. Hei Zhu is a master of disguise. He glued a gray beard on Liu Yin, and made a lot of beards on his face Wrinkles, it seems that Liu Yin has aged many years all of a sudden, even if he is interrogated by officers and soldiers on the road, he will definitely not connect the sixty-year-old man in front of him with the criminal whose head is worth [-] million on the wanted list.

Qing'er also needs to be disguised, because there is also a picture of her on the most wanted list, and Qing'er pretends to be a man, and her pretty face is completely covered up.

It has been a few days since I left Luoyang, Qing'er is worried about her younger brother Sima You, she looks back from time to time and frowns, worried, she said to Liu Yin: "Wenxuan, I don't know what happened to Tao Fu, will cousin Yan know?" Are you going to kill him ruthlessly?"

Liu Yin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, auspicious people have their own celestial features. I don't think Taofu is the kind of person with a short lifespan. This time, he will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good fortune."

Liu Yin didn't walk fast, so he could naturally get some news about Luoyang from passers-by, and Brown Bamboo could also get in touch with the intelligence outlets along the road, so the news he got would be more accurate.

Sima Yan slaughtered wantonly in Luoyang City, which did not exceed Liu Yin's expectations. If these opponents were not eradicated, Sima Yan would not feel at ease even if he was in power.The Sima family has always been cruel and ruthless when dealing with political opponents. In the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi used iron and blood to get rid of Cao Shuang's family. Sima Yi was the most tolerant. There is no one in the world comparable to Cao Shuang's kung fu. Also during Cao Shuang's administration, Sima Yi pretended to be sick again, using the same method, but Sima Yi's fierceness when he shot made people shudder.Both Sima Shi and Sima Zhao inherited Sima Yi's insidiousness, and they have always been relentless in eliminating political enemies.

Sima Yan undoubtedly inherited this point. Blood flowed into rivers in Luoyang City, and everyone was in danger. Six people including Ren Kai suffered a tragic disaster, but Sima You, who was the culprit, survived. There is no doubt that Wang Yuanji played a role in it. When Sima Yan played a crucial role, no matter how unfilial he was, he would not dare to disobey his mother's wishes. What's more, a Sima You without any wings would no longer pose any threat to Sima Yan's throne. It is reasonable to spare his life.

The only thing that surprised Liu Yin was that Sima Yan would eventually usurp the throne according to the historical trajectory. Liu Yin originally thought that according to the current situation, Sima Yan would probably delay proclaiming himself emperor for a few years. History has been very different.However, Liu Yin obviously underestimated Sima Yan's ambitions. Under such an unfavorable situation, he would brazenly proclaim himself emperor. Obviously, he was far more persistent in the imperial power and throne than his grandparents.

For people like Cao Cao and Sima Zhao, even if they hold monstrous power in their hands, they are extremely cautious if they really want to reach the extreme level. Their thoughts and thoughts are different from ordinary people, so whether it is Cao Cao was still Sima Zhao. Throughout their lives, their power reached its peak, but they never took that last step. Instead, their sons took that small step with ease while inheriting their power. This is true of Cao Pi's usurpation of Han and Li Wei, and Sima Yan's usurpation of Wei and Li Jin.

Power makes people lost. It is true that the conditions and timing for Sima Yan to replace Wei are far less favorable than in history, but this does not hinder Sima Yan's determination to be in power. Looking at the throne is no longer a matter of a day or two.

Cao Huan once supported Sima You, which undoubtedly became an excuse for Sima Yan to depose him. Of course, even if Cao Huan did not do anything wrong, there is no guarantee that he can continue to stay on the throne.

The tide of history is so rolling, it is no longer something Cao Huan and his ilk can contend with.

Liu Yin also couldn't stop Sima Yan from ascending to the top position. Although he was once separated from success, he still couldn't stop Sima Yan's ambition from succeeding.On the surface, it seems that Sima Yan has won, but Liu Yin has become the biggest winner. Part of Wei's elite power was eliminated by Liu Yin, part was consumed in the melee, and part was finally eliminated by Sima Yan. , The Luoyang Incident can be described as a heavy loss.The Great Jin regime, which has not yet been established, has many vacancies in many positions. The Central Plains, which often claims to be rich in talents, now has to face the situation of lack of talents.

The Luoyang Incident has greatly consumed the strength of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Kingdom of Shu has vigorously expanded to the north, and its strength has increased a lot invisibly. Between the ups and downs, the situation in the world has tended to a subtle one. Balance, since the Three Kingdoms, the situation where Wei is strong and Shu is weak, has undergone a fundamental change.

"This time I came to Luoyang, I really gained a lot." Liu Yin secretly said in his heart. It can be said that although there was some deviation from what Liu Yin thought, the result may be much better than what Liu Yin expected. At first Liu Yin He just wanted to turn Luoyang upside down, but in the end Luoyang City was bleeding like a river.Of course, Liu Yin's harvest is not limited to this, hugging the drowsy Qing'er in his arms, a smile appeared on Liu Yin's face, perhaps this is his greater harvest.
