Shou Chun.

Shibao is making the most difficult choice.

Zhong Hui arranged almost everything for him.

Huainan and Huaibei formed an alliance and united with Eastern Wu to fight against the Sima clan.

But Shibao was very hesitant.

"Returning to Luoyang is the beginning of Xiahou Taichu, staying in Shouchun can at least give Zhuge a chance to give it a go!" The three sons were indignant.

The Shi family has always been obedient, and since guarding Huainan, except for doing some business with Soochow, there has never been any disobedience.

Besides, the ministers in the court and the gate valves in the locality, which one is not like this?

How did the Qin thief get up?

Isn't it the most difficult time, Nanyang and Hedong, two major grain-producing areas, frantically selling grain in the past?

Except for Wushisan, all the gems and spices of the Shi clan are not sold from Hexi?

When Xiahou Xuan listened to Sima Yi's words, what happened when he returned to Luoyang?

Cut in half!

Annihilate the three tribes!

Shi Bao is old, and he still thinks of coming to this when he is old.

But there is a precedent for Sima Yi in the past, the older he gets, the more meritorious he is, and the more threatening he is......

"The people of Luoyang have always looked down on the Shi family, and when my father returns to Luo, he will definitely die!" Shi Chong, the youngest, said angrily.

The richer and more powerful you are, the more you don't want to die.

Shi Bao had been hesitating in Shouchun for more than ten days, and he did not have the courage to resist the Sima family, nor did he want to go to Luoyang to die.

Shi Bao suddenly remembered that a few days before Cao Chao's uprising, he entered the court because of something, and was summoned by Cao Chao when he left, and talked all day, although he immediately went out of the palace to Sima Zhao to explain, saying that Cao Chao was "very mastery", but some things, the more he explained, the more he couldn't explain.

Could it be that Sima Zhaoqiu will settle the general ledger?

The 20,000 Jingzhou elites of Zhoutai arrived in Yiyang and controlled the upper reaches of Huaishui.

The armies of Qingxu, Yu and Yu were also surrounded by Huainan and Huaibei.

According to the secret news from Luoyang, Sima Ban's 20,000 foot cavalry is being assembled, and Sima Jun of Xuchang is also actively preparing for battle......

The entire Shi family walked to the edge of the cliff.

"Does the prince think that Huaibei and Huainan can join forces to resist the Central Plains?" Peng belongs to Sun Shuodao.

The imperial court was preparing to raid Huainan and Huaibei because of the news that came out of Sun Shuo.

Sun Shuo was born in Huai County, Hanoi County, and was half a fellow villager with the Sima family, and had a very good relationship with Sima Jun, who warned him not to get involved in the Huainan Rebellion.

But Sun Shuo was grateful for Shi Bao's kindness, and Shi Bao was also good to him, so he poked things out.

Shi Bao shook his head, "Huainan has been slaughtered repeatedly, the population is sparse, Huaibei Tuntian is abandoned, Zhonghui itself is difficult to protect, even if the two are united, plus Eastern Wu, they are not opponents of the Central Plains, and moreover, a certain pair of Jin kings are loyal and have no rebellion." ”

"Since the prince has no rebellious intentions, and Huainan is not a place to succeed, why didn't the prince return to Luoyang as soon as possible? If the army is surrounded and the soldiers are under the city, how can the prince deal with himself? It's too late to regret. "Since Sun Shuo is from Hanoi, his ass is more or less inclined to the Sima family.

Which family of scholars in the Central Plains is not inclined to the Sima family?

"What the King of Jin is worried about is nothing more than Huainan military power! The prince broke away from the Huainan army and went north to ask for guilt, and the king of Jin has always been benevolent and righteous, and he will not ...... Injure. Sun Shuo paused, and the last few words were a little difficult to speak.

Sima Zhao even killed the emperor in the street, and he was not short of a stone bag.

Shi Bao's sons looked at each other angrily, "Father treats you well, why do you harm my family!" ”

Shi Chong has always been arrogant and domineering, and pulled out his bejeweled long sword, "This guy must be fine, I will cut your sacrificial flag first!" ”

"Stop!" Shi Bao shouted angrily, "What do you know? ”

Shi Bao is the same generation as Deng Ai, and he will be almost seventy soon.

At this age, I don't think of my own life and death, but the whole family.

"I serve the King of Jin with sincerity, and the King of Jin will live up to me!" Shibao gritted his teeth.

Even if Sima Zhao's butcher's knife came over, he was willing to stick his head over.

Wang Ling, Biqiu Jian, and Zhuge Dan can't fight the Sima family, and the current Shibao can't fight the current Sima family.

"Father!" Shi Tong and Shi Chong wailed.

"I have made up my mind, don't say more!" Shi Bao closed his eyes, and at this time he could only believe in Sima Zhao's benevolence.

It's really not good, it's worth exchanging his life for the continuation of the Shi family.

A day later, Shi Bao took his five sons and two grandsons from Huaixi to bypass Huaibei and hurriedly went north to ask for guilt.

Huaibei Xiangcheng.

Zhong Hui received the message, and a sword cracked over the eucalyptus, "Stupid! I thought Shi Bao was a hero, but I didn't expect it to be just a dog of the Sima family! ”

Carefully arranged schemes, I didn't expect Shi Bao to have no guts.

This also strengthened Zhonghui's determination.

A husband can't be without power for a day!

"The Huainan dragons have no leader, why don't the governors take them!" Jiang Bin didn't have much affection for the Sima family, and the same was true for Cao Wei, the reason why he voted for Wei was completely impressed by Zhong Hui's personal charm, and firmly believed that they would make a great difference.

"The time has not come, the time has not come! If you take Huainan, Zishang will attack me on three sides, Huainan is sparsely populated, the armor is uneven, tens of thousands of people in Huaibei, just rested, can not suddenly fight, Dongwu and Sima clan alliance, there is a precedent of Zhuge birthday, will not dare to go north. "Zhonghui only has Huaibei, Sima Zhao can still tolerate it, if Huainan is taken, Sima Zhao will definitely send troops at any cost.

Zhuge Festival has proven that Huainan is not a foothold.

To take Huainan, it is better to bite the bullet and attack Qingxu in the north.

The most direct consequence of Shibao's surrender is to bring Huaibei to the cusp.

The strength of Qingxu, Yanyu, and Jing Wuzhou, plus Sima Ban's Chinese army, is likely to come to get him first.

"My son is willing to enter Luoyang as a hostage!" Adopted son Zhong Yong stood up.

Zhong Hui shook his hand, "No! ”

There is still some true affection for this adopted son.

Zhong Yong knelt on his knees in front of Zhong Hui, "Father is not Shibao, Shibao surrenders and there is still a chance to survive, my father will die if he surrenders, although the Sima family is surrounded by heavy troops, but there are Qin people in the west, they will not dare to fight, and their son will enter Luoyang as a hostage, and he can get four or five years of recuperation!" ”

There will be no big war, but a small-scale squeeze clock will survive for sure.

Zhong Yong entered Luo as a hostage and gave Sima Zhao enough face.

After all, the two sides did not tear their faces openly, and Zhong Hui was still Cao Wei's Huaibei governor.

Sima Zhao's strength has not fully recovered.

Zhong Hui was conceited and frivolous all his life, and he didn't expect that he would have today.

Jiang Bin, Wang Han, Jiang Shu and others were watching.

and Zhong Hui's henchmen, subordinates and others are also watching.

"Yes!" Zhong Hui nodded heavily, "I don't want to fight, you are safe and sound, if I raise an army, I will sweep the world with a thunderbolt, and the Sima family will not dare to touch you at that time!" ”

Under the absolute power, both Zhong Hui and Shi Bao had to bow to reality.

"Dare to ask when the governor will raise his army?" Jiang Bin asked.

This is also the question in the minds of the generals present.

Zhong Hui sneered: "Wang Shen is not comparable to Shibao, he sits in Huainan, my rear is worry-free, the war between the east and the west is imminent, are you afraid that there is no chance?" With Yang Xingyun's greedy wolf nature, how could he let Sima recuperate for four or five years? Now it has moved its capital to Chang'an, and Tongguan is not in his hands, and in time, there will be a big war in Tongguan! Jiaozhou was captured by the Qin people, how could Dongwu give up? In such troubled times, why worry about not having a chance? ”
