On the first day of August in 263 AD, north of Luoyang City, Dajiaochang.

The three thousand officers of Cao Wei's army above the rank of military were wearing heavy armor under the sun of Ji Xia, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rushing out. But the phalanx of 3,000 people still stood neatly and neatly, showing no signs of distraction.

On the stage of the general in the big school field, Zhong Hui, Wei Guan, Huangfu Min, Xiahou Xian, Xun Kai, Hu Lie, Tian Xu, Pang Hui, Tian Zhang, Li Fu, Wang Mai, Xu Yi and many other generals stood with their heads bowed. The entire school field was silent, and a murderous aura rose to the sky!

Suddenly! With the sound of Yuling, countless armor collisions also sounded neatly. The three thousand officers of the Chinese army knelt down at the same time, their hands were raised flat and arched, their heads were slightly lowered, and they made a loud noise in a neat manner: "We are waiting to welcome the general!" ”

Sima Zhao, who had a ruddy face and firm and powerful steps, stepped onto the stage with complicated eyes, his majestic gaze examined the audience, and his right hand was gently raised upward. The 3,000 people who had just half-knelt got up at the same time. A thin layer of dust was gently raised on the colonel's field.

Nodding with satisfaction, Sima Zhao opened his mouth very domineeringly: "I want to cut down Shu, who agrees?" Who is against? ”

To tell the truth, this time to conquer Shu Han. The opposition in the Cao Wei court was very loud. Not to mention the court, it is the front-line governors Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu, who faced Shu Han, all expressed their opposition. But a dictator is a dictator, and what he has set is the so-called public opinion? That's really.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao's brothers are much narrower than their father Sima Yi. So as long as the head is normal, no one dares to touch Sima Zhao's moldy head at such a pledge meeting. Therefore, everyone present shouted loudly: "Obey the general's orders!" ”

However, in this loud "obey the general's orders", there is really a murmur: "I am against it!" ”

A vigorous figure came out of the crowd, but it was the former general Deng Dun: "General, Jiang Wei has repeatedly violated the Central Plains, and our soldiers have suffered a lot of injuries. Why go deep into the dangerous places of mountains and rivers and bring trouble on yourself? ”

How could anyone really dare to oppose it on such an occasion? The corners of Sima Zhao's mouth pulled up slightly: "Drag it down, sacrifice the flag!" ”

After a while, a fresh human head was served on a plate. Sima Zhao's eyes flashed at the head: "I want to destroy Shu, who is in favor?" Who is against? ”

"I'm going to die to serve the general!"

"Hmm." The voice is much louder now than it was just now. Sima Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and raised his left hand slightly. The eight burly armorers stepped forward in unison, and at the same time opened the silk book in their hands.

"In the fourth year of Fu Wei Jingyuan, the general Zhao ordered to say: The Liu family of Xishu was originally just a weaver and a peddler. Because of the troubled times, he repeatedly used treachery, sold his master, and was brazen to the extreme. to steal a corner. Its land is only one state, its people are only one million, and they dare to call themselves emperors! In ancient times, those who were incorruptible and shameless, and who were arrogant and arrogant, were not as good as one ten-thousandth of the Liu family in Xishu!

However, the thieves in Xishu don't know how to use small things to protect the territory and the people. With its state of the Lord, the secluded realm. conspired in the land of Guanzhong and raped in the north of Longxi. For decades, regardless of the extreme hardship of the people in the territory, he did not hesitate to harm the people, and tried his best to scavenge and squeeze the ability. In this way, they piled up money and food, and repeatedly violated the border...... It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Today, our country has been recuperating and appeasing the people of Li for four years since Jiaping (the name of the year after the change of Gaopingling...... Political communication and harmony, Haiqing Heyan. east to the sea, west to the desert; Iron horses are in groups, and jade shafts are connected. Hailing red millet, the accumulation of warehousing is poor; The spears are like a forest, and the mighty men are numerous! The sound of the class moved and the north wind rose, and the sword qi rushed and the south was flat. If you woo, the mountains will collapse, and if you scream, the wind and clouds will change color. In this way, why should the enemy not be destroyed? With this effort, why not?

(Hail to King Luo Bing!) ）

The people of Yizhou have been suffering from Liu's tyranny for a long time! Today, I hang the people and fight the sin, and when Xie Er and others are in distress and hangs upside down! On the day of the south solstice of the king's division, Yidang eats pot pulp on the road...... Today's expedition, the sin lies with the Liu family alone, and others do not ask...... Therefore, I hereby warn that the salty envoy will know about it. ”

After the text was read out, Sima Zhao handed over the festival battle representing the dignity of the Great Wei Emperor to Zhong Hui: "Shi Ji, do it well." Don't let me down. ”

"Please rest assured, the general will go here and return to Shu Fang!" Zhong Hui, who got the festival battle, is already the de facto commander-in-chief of the Shu army this time. He crossed Sima Zhao, stood at the front desk, and raised the command flag high with his right hand: "The whole army is leaving!" ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng!! Victory !! ”

……

Seeing Zhong Hui and the others get on the horse and leave, Sima Zhao's body, which was still walking steadily, shook slightly. His face changed slightly, and he quickly turned around and moved towards his car outside the school grounds.

But then a hand grabbed him.

Sima Zhao was very annoyed, but when he turned around, he smiled: "It turned out to be Uncle Yuan." Can I help you? ”

The one who grabbed Sima Zhao's arm was Shao Yi, the chief official of Cao Peng's West Cao Wei General's Mansion. Unlike East Cao Peng, who is in charge of personnel, West Cao Peng is mainly in charge of various chores in the General's Mansion. This involves the issue of hostages.

As an unspoken rule, the generals of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu led their troops outside, and they all wanted to leave their families in the capital as hostages. But this time, the situation of Zhong Hui, the main general of Shu, was a bit special: because he was a celibate. They are almost forty years old, and they have not yet married a wife. Of course, there are no children. His father, Zhong Xuan, has been dead for many years, and his mother has also passed away. In addition, this wife and children don't have any hostages, so naturally there are no hostages to hand over.

"General, Zhong Shiji doesn't have any family members, and when he leaves, his home will be empty."

"Well, so what?"

"General, Zhong Shiji is ambitious and never willing to be subordinate. He took so many troops with him at once, and he had no family to stay in Luoyang. If this attack on Shu is not successful, it is fine, if it is successful, his subordinates are worried that he will rebel! ”

The feeling of suffocation in my chest began again, but I couldn't fall down in front of everyone's eyes! Let's get this guy out of here.

Sima Zhao, who endured the pain and squeezed out a smile on his face, patted Shao Yi's shoulder: "Uncle Yuan, you said that Zhong Shiji might be opposed?" Hehe, Zhong Shiji is a smart person, if he can see the situation clearly, he will not dare to rebel. However, if he succeeds in defeating Shu, his eyes will be blinded by his ambition, and it will really be reversed. It's not a big deal. Yuanbo, have you thought about it? After the success of the Shu attack, all our soldiers wanted was to hurry home and accept the reward. And Xishu has just been destroyed, and the princes, ministers, soldiers and people have all been broken. At that time, who could fight with him? ”

“…… I see, the general really planned far-sightedly. It's a lot of worry. ”

"Otherwise, thank you Yuan Bo for reminding me. However, please don't spread the word about this matter. ”

"Of course, please rest assured!"

Watching Shao Yi retreat with a smile, Sima Zhao's face changed, and he quickly boarded his carriage. When the entourage outside the car closed the door of the carriage, Sima Zhao fainted suddenly.

At this time, there was a long sigh from the carriage, and Wang Yuanji stretched out his jade hand and put a hot towel on his chest.

Because of the high temperature, the coronary artery that had just been blocked was slightly dilated, and Sima Zhao woke up leisurely. He took Wang Yuanji's hand: "I've worked hard for you again." ”

"It's not hard, you're really working hard for this family."

After the old husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, Wang Yuanji said: "What Yuanbo said just now is very reasonable. In fact, I have told you many times. Zhong Shiji is ambitious, if he succeeds in cutting Shu, this person will rebel! Why do you want him to lead the army? ”

"Why don't you say to Uncle Yuan that he will rebel. Yuanhime, you don't know. A few days ago, Zhong Shiji's elder brother Zhong Yu rushed back to Luoyang from the Jingzhou office with his body that was about to die of illness, which means that his younger brother was too ambitious, and he would go to Xishu to rebel, and asked me to remove Zhong Shiji's position. ”

"But ......"

"Hmm." The corners of Sima Zhao's mouth once again floated a cruel smile: "This Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, as well as Deng Ai, Zhuge Xu and others in the west, all say that it is impossible to destroy Shu. Only Zhong Shiji said that it can be fell, and it will be done. Since ancient times, it will be a military courage. The generals of the leading troops are thinking that Xishu is unbreakable, how can this battle be fought? Therefore, I can only send Zhong Shiji as the general general. Because only when he leads the troops can he have the belief in victory and the possibility of success. As for him to be opposed? Hehehe, I wish he was against it.

My Sima family was in my father's generation, and it was indeed prosperous. Although Sima Bada is not all sages. But Boda (Sima Lang), Zhong Da (Sima Yi), and Shuda (Sima Fu) can all be described as a generation of heroes. In our brother's generation, the elder brother (Sima Shi) acted decisively, but was too hard. As for me, I'm not in good health. The rest of the numbers came and went, and Zichu (Sima Wang) still had the ability to lead troops to fight, but unfortunately he was too greedy...... As for the rest, it's all waste...... And what about our next generation? Yan'er looks heroic and resolute, but in fact, she is resourceful and decisive. Tao Fu is knowledgeable, but his heart is too kind...... Zhong Shiji is not yet forty years old, such a talented, excellent civil and military and ambitious person, I will never let him die behind me! ”

“…… Son, you do see farther than we do. Hmm, what do you think about Zhong Yu? ”

"Hey, maybe it's because people are getting old, and their murderous intent is not as heavy as before. Yuan Ji, since the peach charm, our three sons have all died. This is retribution! Therefore, if you can't do such a hurtful thing as destroying the three clans, you can not do it or not. I told Zhong Yu that if Zhong Hui reversed, I would not destroy the three clans of the Zhong family. ”
