Chapter Ninety-Four: Sima Yan's Defeat

In August, Li Teh sent troops to attack Deyang, and Zhang Wei, then the Taishou of Guanghan, sent troops to fight back and defeated Li Te's army. At the same time, Sima's behavior became more and more perverse, he no longer went to the court, but accepted hundreds of officials in the palace to bow down, and all affairs were not counted without his permission, coupled with his extravagance and wanton greed for money, which caused the ministers in the court to complain about him.

Seeing this, Feng Hang informed Sima Wang, Hejian, that the hour was almost up.

Sima immediately approached Sima and persuaded him to join the army. Sima Shang had a hint of hesitation, after all, he was a follower of the Three Kings, and although Sima was absurd, he restored his title of King of Changsha, which was said to be kind to him, if he turned against him like this, he was afraid that he would be talked about by future generations that he was ungrateful.

Sima has always disdained Sima's benevolence and righteousness, today's court, fighting is swords, fighting is power, he Sima has never been a man of words, today can give you benefits, tomorrow he will be unhappy, he can also take back the benefits, not to mention, this Jin Dynasty is in his hands, but day by day is not as good as a day.

Seeing that Sima still didn't speak, Sima Chang sighed and said, "That day, I overheard Sima talking to Wang Bao, the chief bookkeeper, saying that he would send all the vassal kings back to the fiefdom, including yours. ”

Sima, of course, didn't want to leave Luoyang. Seeing that he was a little tempted, Sima said again: "After the matter is completed, I will ask Your Majesty to make the king of Cheng the crown prince." ”

Sima glanced at Sima in disbelief, this is indeed in line with his mind, Sima Ying is talented and courageous, he will be able to create a different Jin Dynasty, he is the best candidate for the prince, he has always been optimistic about the king of Chengdu, and he sincerely wants to assist his younger brother.

In this way, Sima finally nodded and agreed to Sima, and together with him and the king of Chengdu, he raised an army to defeat Sima. It's just that they still need a name, although Sima is mediocre, but he is an auxiliary minister, representing His Majesty, if you want to crusade against him, it is no different to be complicit in rebellion, unless there is a convincing excuse.

Sima looked at Sima, and a plan was formed in his heart. He asked Sima to ask Sima if he was going to send the kings back to the fiefdom, and after receiving a positive answer, they raised troops on the grounds that Sima was not friendly with the clan and was preparing to hold the emperor hostage and control the government.

Sima agreed with what Sima said, went straight to the palace of the king of Qi, and when he saw him, he asked: "What is your intention to send the kings back to the fiefdom?" ”

Sima was stunned, he had no holiday with Sima, and because of the army, the relationship between the two was acceptable, he knew that it was the time for him to employ people, and he didn't want to offend the princes, so he pointed to Wang Leopard next to him and said: "The idea he gave me, I am still hesitating." ”

"This man has sinister intentions, he wants to divide our flesh and blood, and he should be killed." Sima said indignantly.

Sima also felt that it was inappropriate to let the kings return to their fiefdoms, and everyone was unwilling, and they would definitely point the finger at him. He made up his mind that he couldn't take Wang Bao's opinion, in this case, Wang Bao had already offended the kings, and he really couldn't stay by his side, so he simply didn't do anything, and after listening to Sima's words, he wanted to behead Wang Bao to show the public.

Wang Bao was shocked, hurriedly begged Sima for mercy, and continued: "If the prince does not send the kings back to the fiefdom, there will be hidden dangers, they are all seriously ill, if they join forces to attack the prince, can the prince still stand on top of the court?" ”

Sima sneered and said to Sima: "Listen, what is this called, my Sima family, the same lineage, how can such traitors be allowed to insult at will?" So what are you waiting for? Won't they kill them? ”

Sima frowned and glared fiercely

Wang Leopard let people drag him out, and Wang Leopard was angry, scolded Sima for being "confused", and shouted: "Hang my head on Sima Gate, I will watch the kings' soldiers and horses attack King Qi." ”

After Wang Bao died, the matter of the kings returning to the fiefdom was put aside, and Sima left the palace of the king of Qi satisfied, he found Sima, and told him in detail what had happened, and said: "Since the king of Qi knows his mistake, I will let him go." ”

Sima smiled and patted Sima on the shoulder, and personally sent him out of the Hejian Palace. In a blink of an eye, he came to the Qi Palace, and when he saw Sima is smiling face. Seeing this, Sima was quite strange, and first asked, "What are you doing here?" Then he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Sima said: "I can't imagine that the dignified King of Qi would kill a good minister because of a few words, and your tyrannical reputation has spread all over the capital." ”

"He told me to send the kings back to their fiefdoms." Sima argued unconvinced: "Do you want to go back to the fiefdom?" ”

"Go back." Sima Dao: "I'm here to get in your way, why don't I go back to the fiefdom?" He knelt down and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "How free and happy I am in the fiefdom, I don't have to worry about anything, and I am as beautiful as a cloud, isn't it much better than in Luoyang?" ”

Sima looked at Sima suspiciously, most of his words were not believed, and said, "You want to sit in my position as an auxiliary minister, not for a day or two." ”

Sima waved his hand: "I didn't fight with you last year, and I won't fight with you this year, I want to grab your position, will I be so blatantly against you?" Why can't I quietly go out to train my troops? ”

Sima didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Sima Hulu, and he didn't understand what he came here for today, was it to persuade him to agree to the kings to return to the domain, so that he could leave Luoyang? Sima shook his head secretly, he would never believe that Sima was such an unambitious person.

Sima knew that Sima didn't believe him, so he sneered and said, "What's wrong with what Wang Bao said? The kings are in Beijing, can you sleep soundly? ”

"I let the kings leave the capital, and I can't sleep steadily." Sima Dao: "Don't say anything else, the king of Changsha is the first to not want to go, saying that Wang Leopard is separated from flesh and blood, if I agree, won't the kings tear me up?" ”

"Of course the king of Changsha doesn't want to leave Beijing." Sima Dao: "He persuaded me to raise troops with him, help him ascend to the position of auxiliary government, and then set up Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, as the emperor's younger brother, the two brothers have a very good relationship, the king of Changsha has always wanted to help the king of Chengdu as the emperor, and even publicly said 'the world depends on you', don't you know?" ”

"King of Changsha?" Sima looked at Sima suspiciously, although this King of Changsha is famous enough, but his strength is insufficient, why should Sima help him? Wasn't he afraid that Sima would help him and then destroy him?

"Believe it or not, I'll do it, I'm just reminding you, I'm afraid the ambition of the King of Changsha can't even compare to me, you should be careful yourself." After Sima said this, he raised his hand and swaggered away from the Qi Palace.

Sima was still suspicious of Sima, he ordered someone to bury Wang Leopard, and treated Wang Leopard's children and nephews well, at the same time, he made up his mind, it doesn't matter if other vassal kings leave Luoyang or not, this king of Changsha must leave Luoyang. He immediately wrote an edict, ordering Sima Wang, the king of Changsha, to return to his fiefdom immediately without delay.

Sima was furious, and at the same time, he received a letter from Sima and begged Sima to be killed.

Sima did not leave Beijing according to Sima's orders, so Sima decided that Sima had the intention of rebelling and immediately sent his subordinate Dong Ai to attack Sima and Si

Ma led more than 100 people around him, and after defeating Dong Ai, he galloped to the palace in a carriage that was cut down by Dong Ai, he closed the palace gates and held Sima Zhen hostage.

Sima ordered the troops to attack Sima's mansion, and had people set fire to all the pavilions, as well as the Qianqiu Gate and the Shenwu Gate. In the process of attacking Sima, Sima shouted loudly: "The king of Changsha has forged an edict. ”

Sima Na was willing to admit defeat, and also shouted: "The king of Qi rebelled and helped him to reduce the five clans." ”

That night, there was a great battle in the city, arrows flew around like raindrops, the flames soared into the sky, and the sound of murder was everywhere, and the screams were endless. Sima held Sima Zhen up to the east gate, and in the face of the fierce offensive of the King of Qi, he kept urging the King of Hejian to send troops to help him, however, so the people who went to invite the King of Hejian had no return, and there was no trace, and in desperation, Sima had to resist hard.

Sima Ying faced the big battle in the city, he was so anxious to help Sima, but was stopped by Sima, he said: "Don't panic, wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Sima Ying was anxious, and he didn't understand why Sima could still sit here as steady as Mount Tai, and the king of Changsha did not have enough troops to resist the attack of the king of Qi.

Sima smiled mysteriously: "I'm just waiting for Sima to be defeated." ”

"You're crazy." Sima Ying was shocked: "Sima is a soldier who helped us, what good is it for us if he is defeated?" ”

"First, Sima was defeated, and we raised troops on the grounds that the King of Qi killed the royal family, and the crusade against Sima is justified, if we send troops at this time, what is the reason? You will be the one who will be the emperor in the future, and it will not look good to be written by the secretary of history. Sima said treacherously: "Second, the king of Qi beat the king of Changsha, and the army was defeated, and it was easy for us to attack it again." ”

Sima Ying had nothing to say, he knew too well how important the reason for sending troops was, not to mention, Sima was thinking about his reputation, of course he had no reason to refute it.

The battle between Sima and Sima lasted for three whole days, with countless dead and rivers of blood, but what everyone did not expect was that Sima won the battle with several times less men than Sima, and he captured Sima and brought him to Sima Zhen.

At this time, Sima no longer had the appearance of flying and domineering in the past, because after three days of continuous fighting, his face was covered with mud and blood, and the armor on his body was also tattered, and he knelt in front of Sima Zhen in frustration.

Sima Zhen suddenly couldn't bear it, he asked Sima cautiously, and said, "Since King Qi has been caught by you, let him live, although he treats me badly, but in the end he took me out of Kim Yong City, it is a favor to me, it is better to look at my face and don't kill him." ”

"Your Majesty is kidding, right?" Although Sima was also filthy, at this time, with the attitude of a victor, he kicked King Qi to the ground with one kick, and said: "Since ancient times, I have become a king and defeated a king, and I have not been in the habit of leaving Kou a dog's life, let alone such a person who has no faith in his words and kills his bones and blood." ”

"But ......" Sima Zhen wanted to persuade again, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Sima.

"You and I have been deceived," Sima said to Sima, "Then Sima is the initiator, you leave me alive, and I will go for you to ask for the dog's head." ”

Sima couldn't listen to Sima's words at this time, he was afraid that Sima Zhen would beg him to release him again, so he hurriedly asked Sima to pull him down from the left and right, behead him outside the gate again, and show his head to the six armies. More than 2,000 of Sima's henchmen and subordinate officials were all killed and the three clans were wiped out. 2k reading web
