Chapter 540: Threat

Historically, there have been many dynasties that rose from Taiyuan.

Control the mountains and rivers, standing on the shoulders of the world!

Taiyuan was lost, and Hebei bore the brunt.

An urgent report was sent back to Luoyang from the north, west, and south.

On the sickbed, Sima Zhao's face became more and more pale.

After escaping back to Luoyang, Sima Zhao stayed in bed for a month before his body regained its warmth, and just after he improved, all kinds of bad news came one after another.

To the north, of course, Taiyuan was lost.

To the west, Yang Zheng took Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Shu, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

But the most dangerous and urgent is in the south.

Zhonghui's 140,000 troops descended the Han River, and after a short stay in the three counties of Shangyong, they went straight to Jingbei.

It's just a Jingbei, Sima Zhao is not unacceptable.

However, Zhong Hui's intention was not to do this, but to go straight to Wancheng.

Wancheng is a very fatal place, the heart of the Nanyang Basin, Xiangyang to the south, Xuchang to the east, and Luoyang to the north.

There's so much that the bell can do.

"Guanzhong has long been broken, Shuzhong is also tired, although it is obtained by Yang thief, it will not change the situation of strong east and weak west, the former Taizu has the disaster of red cliffs, and Wei Zuo is still, Xiangguo mouth title Mandate of Heaven, when the Zude is excited, recruit the heroes of the four seas, gather the heroes of the world, not a few years, the cool thief is bound to setback, the world of the corporaries all regard the West thief as a tiger wolf, hate the Yang thief into the bone, and will be able to work with Xiangguo to ......"

Sima Zhao read Zhong Hui's letter, his eyes complicated.

Until now, he still couldn't judge Zhong Hui's intentions.

Even if Zhong had a different heart, with the 140,000 army he held in his hand, Sima Zhao didn't dare to do anything to him.

Jia Chong sneered after reading the letter, "Zhong Hui is worried, and the scholars are also!" ”

The Sima clan and the scholar clan are too closely bound, and almost all the major scholar clans in the world are the in-laws of the Sima clan.

Although Sima Zhao's Chinese army was defeated, Hebei, Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other towns were all old Sima clans, and there were still more than 200,000 soldiers.

If Zhong Hui dares to act disobediently, these military towns will definitely not be able to spare him.

All in all, Zhong Hui did not rush to Luoyang at the first time, giving the situation a chance to ease.

"Shi Ji has the merit of the whole army, and recruited Jiang Bin, Wang Han, Jiang Shu and other Shu generals, thanks to Sheji, and is now named Situ, Marquis of Yangzhai County." Sima Zhao was the first to compromise.

The Central Plains can no longer afford another major war or split.

And Yang Zhai Hou is also a subtle warning to Zhong Hui.

At that time, Yuan Shu's title was Yang Zhai Hou.

"Zhong Huisu can't rely on the 120,000 Chinese army in his hands, and now Wang Jun and Wang Hun are in the army, why not draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and order the two generals to lead the Chinese army back to Luoyang?" Jia Chong is very skilled in dealing with his own people.

After Pusaka's escape that day, his relationship with Sima Zhao became closer.

Sima Zhao shook his head, "Shi Jiyan doesn't know that I am waiting for the bottom of the kettle to draw salary?" Situ and Yang Zhai Hou, they must know my mind. ”

He still has illusions about Zhonghui, after all, he once grew up in a circle.

For so many years, without Zhong Hui's advice behind the scenes, Sima Zhao would not have come to this day.

In that year, Sima Shi was in Xuchang, and the emperor ordered Sima Zhao to mourn on the spot, and ordered Fu Yi to lead the six armies back to Luoyang.

Zhong Hui strongly persuaded Sima Zhao to personally lead the army back to Luo, and helped Sima Zhao survive a small crisis.

Although the current situation is very unfavorable to Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui still has no chance.

Because the Shi clan has always been on Sima Zhao's side.

There are still two generals Chen Tai and Chen Qian in Luoyang City, as well as 30,000 or 40,000 remnants of the army, and it is still possible to block Zhonghui outside Yin Que Pass.

Sima Zhao can sit in the position of Xiangguo, of course, it is not useless.

"Xiangguo is wise." Jia Chong bowed, really forced Zhong Hui to reverse, which was not good for everyone.

Sima Zhao can't move Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui can't move Sima Zhao either.

Since returning to Luo for more than a month, Shi Bao, Zhou Tai, Zhong Yu, and He Zeng have all written to ask Sima Zhao about his safety.

Sima Jun, who guarded Xuchang, also sent a letter of comfort.

Sima Jun is the seventh son of Sima Yi, who has been smart since childhood, tired of serving as an infantry, a lieutenant of the cavalry, a regular attendant of the cavalry, and later transferred to General Anton, guarding Xuchang, and is one of the few rising stars of the Sima family.

With the support of these people, Sima Zhao's position is still stable.

"Shi Ji shouldn't act rashly, the Yang thief takes Taiyuan, and Luoyang is uneasy day and night!" Sima Zhao sighed.

If there is no Taiyuan, Guanzhong will not be able to keep it sooner or later.

There are Tongguan and Wuguan, and after a few years, the Central Plains army has recovered and can continue to wrestle with the cool thief.

But when the cool thief occupies Taiyuan, the situation is different.

Taiyuan is like a long sword, hanging above the head of the Central Plains.

Bingzhou, like Guanzhong, was also a mess at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, the Southern Xiongnu slaughtered the rebellion of the various departments, killed and merged the state to assassinate Zhang Yi, in the fifth year of Zhongping, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Guo Tai, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others re-revolted in Hedong, called the White Wave Army, there were more than 100,000 people, attacked Taiyuan, defeated Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu. It also united with the Southern Xiongnu Yufuluo, who moved to the Fenhe River Valley, and broke Taiyuan, Hanoi and other counties to threaten Luoyang.

Later, the Cao Yuan War, and the state under the rule of Gao Gan, was also involved in the war, Zhong Xuan, the father of Zhonghui, persuaded Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Pang De to participate in the war, and launched the Hedong War, which lasted for six years......

The population of the state has long been empty.

That's why Cao Cao moved to the south of the Xiongnu to fill the emptiness of the annexed states.

The focus of Cao Wei's business has always been Hedong County.

It was not until the Liang army raided Yanmen for thousands of miles that the importance of Taiyuan gradually became apparent.

In the past, someone proposed that Chen Taidu should merge the town, but Sima Zhao did not let Chen Tai go to the post out of jealousy, and all the good news sent by Shi Jian was ignored.

It's too late to come to your senses now.

Before the battle of Feng Sa, Sima Zhao was in full swing, and many hidden dangers were hidden, and now that the army is defeated, many hidden dangers are gradually exposed.

If Feng Sa's battle was won by Sima Zhao, Tang Shi and the others might not dare to rebel.

Domino effect.

"Shangdang, Hedong, and Tongguan are in hand, and it is difficult for the Liang thief to threaten Luoyang for a while, yes, and the state and Hebei must be guarded by powerful generals, Shi Jian and He Zeng are not good at military strategy, and they are not the enemies of the Liang thief, Xiangguo should make plans as soon as possible!" Jia Chong said loyally.

"If you don't have Xuanbo, you can't merge the state, and if you don't have Xiuyuan, you can't defend Hebei!" At this time, Sima Zhao didn't care about suspicion or not, and it was important to save his life.

This time, without Chen Tai's sacrifice of his life, Sima Zhao would not be able to return to Luoyang.

The Battle of Feng Sa brought the Central Plains Shi clan and Sima Zhao closer together.

A few days later, Chen Qian was appointed as the governor of Hebei, the general of the Jiejie, and the general of the expedition to the north, and Chen Tai as the governor of the prefecture.

He Zeng was transferred back to Luoyang, added as a servant, and canonized the Marquis of Langling County.

Chen Qian also recommended Yanzhou to drive Tang Bin, and the prince Sima Yan recommended Liu Hong, the son of Liu Jing, the former general of Zhenbei.

Sima Zhao transferred the two to Hedong to assist Chen Tai.

Shi Jian, who fled back to Luoyang, originally wanted to kill him by the law of the town, but considering that Shi Jian was a celebrity, there were Shantao, Ruan Ji and others who interceded.

Sima Zhao abolished him as a commoner and never hired him.
