Brother, this expedition to Jizhou, let's let my brother lead the army, and the overall situation must be presided over by my brother. After the council, only they were left alone, and Sima Zhao said to Sima Shi.

  Since the battle of Xincheng, Sima Zhao is full of confidence, and he is particularly enthusiastic about going out to fight, and this time he sent troops to Jizhou, Sima Zhao was itching, and took the initiative to ask Sima Shi to ask for help, asking to fight on his behalf.

  After all, Sima Shi's status is noble, and he needs to sit in Luoyang to preside over the overall situation, if Sima Shi leads his troops to the battle, Luoyang will not be empty, if there are people like Li Feng and Zhang Ji to make trouble, then the situation will be difficult to clean up.

  That's why Sima Zhao proposed to lead the army to the expedition, and Sima Shi sat in Luoyang to preside over the overall situation, in his opinion, this was the best plan.

  Sima Shi smiled, patted Sima Zhao's shoulder gently, and said: "This battle of Jizhou is related to our life and death, so the foolish brother must be personally recruited, this time you will stay in Luoyang, and the affairs of the government will be entrusted to you and a few brothers." ”

  Sima Zhao has a few catties and taels, can Sima Shi not know? Although Sima Zhao won a great victory in the Battle of Xincheng, the real hero of the Battle of Xincheng was Zhang Te, if Zhang Te had not held on to Hefei Xincheng for 100 days, how could Zhuge Ke easily withdraw his troops? In the end, Sima Zhao just picked up a ready-made bargain, which may not prove how high his level of command of battle is.

  The battle of Dongxing was a tough battle, although the main general at that time was Zhuge Dan, but as the supervisor of the army Sima Zhao also failed to play any role, and finally the Wei army was defeated, Sima Zhao was also unable to escape responsibility, and was cut off the title afterwards, although it was on the surface that he had suffered on behalf of others, but in fact it was difficult to escape the blame.

  And fighting with Cao Liang is two different things from fighting Wu Guo, Cao Liang's Wen Tao Wu strategy, even Sima Yi is not an opponent, Sima Shi does not have the confidence to defeat him, if Sima Zhao is sent forward, there is no doubt that he will definitely be defeated.

  So even if Sima Zhao took the initiative to ask Ying to fight with confidence, Sima Shi didn't dare to hand over the military power to him, and the war with Wu State, there is not much difference between defeating and winning, Wu State has no ability to continue to go north, Wei State has no ability to continue to go south, the two sides will always be just a tug-of-war situation in Huainan, and the victory or defeat is actually irrelevant.

  But the contest with Cao Liang is a matter of life and death, victory is life, defeat is death, survival is in this battle, such an important battle, Sima Shi must fight the spirit of twelve points, do it himself, fake the hands of others, impossible!

  Sima Zhao was helpless, he knew that Sima Shi decided to talk about things, it was almost irrecorrectable, hey, he could only secretly regret it in his heart.

  Sima Zhao's greatest wish is to stab Cao Liang, the enemy, if he hadn't kidnapped Wang Yuanji in the first place, why would he have turned their husband and wife against each other, and finally led to Wang Yuanji hanging himself, when it comes to the culprit, it must be Cao Liang.

  Sima Zhao has a lot of hatred for Cao Liang, if he can defeat Cao Liang in person and slash him, it can be regarded as avenging Wang Yuanji's blood hatred.

  This expedition to Jizhou undoubtedly made Sima Zhao see the hope of revenge, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go on the expedition, but Sima Shi disagreed, and he had no choice but to say: "If my brother has a chance to capture Cao Liang alive, how about asking my brother to take him back to Luoyang and hand him over to his younger brother?" ”

  Sima Zhao's thoughts, Sima Shiyan can not understand, but the more so, the more Sima Shi dare not hand over the military power to Sima Zhao, a person who is blinded by hatred will often act to the extreme, and do many unwise things, which is likely to lead to bad consequences.

  If you talk about hatred, who can compare the hatred between Sima Shi and Cao Liang, the hatred of killing his father, the hatred of taking his wife, and the resentment of taking his daughter, Sima Shi has taken it all, this hatred is deeper than Gao Hai, Sima Shi was eager to skin Cao Liang and cramp at the beginning, and he could also vent his anger.

  But really sitting in this position now, Sima Shi realized that the so-called hatred is just a floating cloud, Sima Yi once repeatedly warned him, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and a real man must be mindful, rather than remembering those grievances and grievances, otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve great things in his life.

  The current Sima Shi can't let go of these grievances, but at least he won't be blinded by these grievances, everything he is doing now can be judged rationally, and he will never fight for revenge.

  Sima Shi smiled and said, "Okay, if you really have to capture Cao Liang, I will definitely hand it over to you as a brother." ”

  Sima Zhao said happily: "Thank you, brother." But does my brother really want to kill him, and report the hatred of taking his wife back then, and end this grievance? "Thinking about it, the two of them can be regarded as difficult brothers, for so many years, they have been bullied by Cao Liang.

  Sima Shi smiled indifferently and said: "Zishang, when you are in a high position in the future, you will also find that the so-called grievances are just passing clouds, and now I only think about how to defeat Cao Liang for my brother, and as for revenge, it is not in the scope of consideration." ”

  Sima Zhao was a little confused, is there a difference between defeating Cao Liang and revenge Cao Liang?

  Anyway, Sima Shi promised to hand over Cao Liang to him to dispose of after capturing him, which can be regarded as okay but Sima Zhao's wish, it seems that he has to think about it, how to deal with Cao Liang in order to relieve his hatred, it is too cheap to cut him with a knife, even if it is the body of five horses, he will die too quickly, it is best to peel the skin and cramp and then light a lamp, so as to make Sima Zhao satisfied.

  As for whether Cao Liang can be captured, Sima Zhao feels that there is no big problem, there are more than 300,000 horses in Jizhou alone, Sima Shi plans to bring 150,000 people on this expedition, half infantry and half cavalry, such a lineup configuration is unprecedentedly strong, so in this battle of Jizhou, there is no suspense that Sima Shi will win.

  With such an army, Sima Zhao felt that there was no problem with his own leadership, such a huge army was enough to crush the Bingzhou army, and now Sima Shi was ready to go out in person, the chances of victory were much greater than leading the troops himself.

  Sima Zhao believed that Sima Liang's rebellion would be completely quelled by Sima Division's dispatch of troops, and not only could the crisis in Jizhou be resolved, but he could even take advantage of the victory to send troops to Youzhou and Merge Prefecture to eradicate Cao Liang's rebel forces in one fell swoop and realize the grand cause of unifying the north.

  From now on, on the territory of the Great Wei, the forces that oppose the Sima clan will no longer exist, and the Sima family will also have the opportunity to take another step forward and win the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
