Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 862 Rebellion
"Why did Ziyuan come so late?" Jiang Wei asked gently.

Master Sima bowed and saluted, and replied: "The affairs in the army are cumbersome, so we should hurry up to this point!"

Knowing that Sima Shi had received an edict from Wei Emperor Cao Fang ordering him to surrender, Jiang Wei stopped attacking and set up a camp to wait for him to return.Master Sima stayed in the city for a long time before leaving the city to surrender.

Today's surrender, because Master Sima has a high prestige in Cao Wei's country, Jiang Wei treated him with high courtesy, and treated him as a guest of honor.

After talking with Master Sima, Jiang Wei asked, "Now Youping and the two prefectures are far in the northeast. Your Majesty ordered Wei to go out to appease him. What advice does Lord Sima have?"

Master Sima pondered for a while, and tentatively said: "General, to destroy Tianyu in the north, to stabilize and merge, and to use the prestige of a general to do such a thing of appeasement may be overkill."

Jiang Wei stared at Master Sima, and said with a half-smile: "We both work for the Han Dynasty, so what's the point? Let's appease Dai Bing, it really depends on the great blessing of the country, and it's beyond what Wei alone can do!"

Master Sima held up the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Master, I saw that the general is famous, so I thought of this. Seeing that you don't care about fame and fortune, I admire you even more."

"Don't dare, Mr. Sima passed Miao!" Jiang Wei laughed.

Master Sima pretended to think about it, and said: "It is not difficult to appease the two prefectures of Youping, but Pingzhou is isolated outside the border, and Liaodong Daze is difficult to travel through, and it is convenient to take the sea route. If the general believes in the teacher, the teacher will take the lead in going to Youzhou. Collect sea ships, requisition food and grass, and wait for the generals to arrive."

"This~" Jiang Wei hesitated, not daring to let Master Sima leave easily.

Sima Shi looked angry and said: "If you don't believe me, general, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Wei chatted happily with Master Sima. Seeing Master Sima like this, he couldn't say much, and said vaguely: "How can Wei not believe in Mr. Sima's heart, but the current affairs cannot be separated from you! Wait!" After the handover is completed, you can let you be the vanguard."

Master Sima regretted it secretly, he lost his sense of propriety just now, fearing that Jiang Wei might be alerted.

"It doesn't need to be like this. Being able to serve by the general's side is like going to Youzhou to appease him."

Sima Shi chatted with Jiang Wei for a few words, and retreated to his tent on the grounds that he was drunk.

After Master Sima left, Wang Si, who was accompanying him, said, "There may be something wrong with what Master Sima said, so please take precautions, General?"

Jiang Wei frowned slightly, and said: "Although Sima Yi died in battle, the Cao family has already surrendered, and people feel at ease. How could Master Sima do such a thing?"

During the conversation between Jiang Wei and Master Sima, Jiang Wei actually had a good impression of Master Sima, and he admired this talented Cao Wei.

Wang Si said seriously: "General, it is imperative to be on guard against others. Master Sima has a high reputation. If he plots something wrong, it will be too late for us to regret it!"

"In your opinion?" Jiang Wei asked, putting down the wine bottle in his hand.

"Martial law can be imposed on the entire army tonight to prevent the Sima Division from changing." Wang Si suggested: "This action can prevent the Sima Division from mutinying tonight and murdering our army."

After considering a little, Jiang Wei said: "You can act according to what you say, and act as if you don't agree with it too much, and it will hurt Master Sima's heart."

"promise!"

After returning to the camp, Master Sima had a lot of worries. He wanted to test whether Jiang Wei had rebellion, and if he had rebellion, he would encourage him to rebel, and he could rely on Jiang Wei's rebellion to make a comeback.If he hadn't changed his mind, he would have also wanted to find a reason to go to Youzhou and cede the land as king, but he didn't expect Jiang Wei to be so vigilant and never give him a chance.

"My lord, how is it?" Shi Bao asked from outside the tent.

Master Sima shook his head, and said, "I am acting in a hurry, afraid that Jiang Wei will notice?"

Shi Bao showed worry, and said: "If the big thing is impossible, it's better to be under the rule of the big man temporarily, and look for opportunities to make trouble."

"No!" Master Sima said with a firm gaze, "Liu Chan was tyrannical, slaughtered the heirs of Emperor Wu, exposed the bones of the three generations of Wei Jun, and took their skulls. Such actions will definitely arouse the public indignation of the Central Plains scholars. , if you miss this moment, it will be impossible!"

"Then what is the lord's intention?" Shi Bao asked.

"Leaving Youping tonight. My father made an expedition to Liaodong in the past, and he left us with kindness, which can be used! When we arrive in Youping, we will enlist the help of Xianbei and Sanhan to guard Liaoze. When the Central Plains is in chaos, we will send troops from the northeast and go straight Take Hebei to see the success or failure of the world." Sima Shi said.

In Master Sima's eyes, Liu Chan's move was a foolish move. If he appeases the Cao family, the Central Plains will be settled in the near future.But he didn't expect Liu Chan to do the act of exhuming the tomb and exposing the corpse, which was a bit outweighed.At present, any bloody Wei Chen will definitely rise up and rebel, and this is the time for his rise!
"Bao is willing to follow the lord around, thinking that it is driven." Shi Bao knelt down to show his loyalty, and said.

Although Shi Bao is greedy for money and beautiful, but under Sima Shi's careful win over, she falls in love with Sima Shi.

Master Sima also tactfully helped Shi Bao up, was moved to tears, and said: "If there is a day when you succeed, the master will live up to you!"

After setting the escape time, Sima Shi and Shi Bao split up.

At midnight, the surrendered Wei camp was in chaos. Jiang Wei sent troops to suppress it and sent people to search for Sima division.

"General Qi, Sima Shi led his confidant Shi Bao and others to escape in the turmoil with a hundred and twenty riders. They headed northeast, disappeared into the night, and disappeared." The attendant reported.

"How dare Sima Shian do this?" Jiang Wei said angrily, throwing the whip in his hand on the ground.

"General, Master Sima rebelled and escaped from the army. We need to arrest him as soon as possible to avoid any complications. If His Majesty hears about it, he may punish the general." Wang Si said: "You should send people to search for his trace now."

Jiang Wei calmed down, thinking of what Sima Shi said at today's banquet, and said: "Earlier, Sima Shi said about going to Youzhou and Liaodong, but now he is defecting, Wei thought Sima Shi would go to Youzhou, so he sent soldiers to intercept Just kill them. We must not let Master Sima take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Youzhou and Liaodong as bandits, otherwise there will be no peace in Hebei!"

"Promise!" Wang Si said: "You can choose elite armored cavalry to attack Youzhou and capture and kill the defected Sima Shi."

"Yes!" Jiang Wei looked at the gradually subdued barracks, and said, "Pull the leader of the rebellion in the Wei army, and the rest of the followers will be exempted from punishment. Keep them under strict supervision to prevent them from rioting again."

"promise!"

……

Wang Ling and Guan Qiujian, who were confronting Jufu far away on the battlefield in Henan, received Cao Fang's edict ordering them to surrender, and when they learned of Liu Chan's actions, they and the soldiers under his command were all filled with righteous indignation.

"General, what should our army do with His Majesty's return today?" Zhang Shi asked.

Wearing plain clothes, Wang Ling broke down in tears, and said: "Liu Chan is tyrannical and innocent, digging graves and destroying corpses. I have never heard of it in ancient times. I will return safely? Your Majesty is incompetent and incapable. It is not my lord. I, the [-] soldiers in Jianghuai, should be my lord." The emperors take revenge."

Guan Qiujian, the governor of Yuzhou, was dressed in plain clothes, and Ying He said: "Jiansu heard that Cao Biao, the king of Chu, is quite wise and brave, and has the style of a civil and military emperor. You can help him succeed to the throne and welcome him to the throne in Shouchun. And pass the edict In the several states of the Central Plains, they raised troops to rebel and regained our land of Great Wei."

Wang Ling wiped his tears and said: "Zhang-style sketches spread to the world. Yanzhou governor Wang Chang and Qingzhou governor Zhuge Dan are loyal to state affairs, and they will definitely join forces. Xuzhou governor Linghu Yu is my nephew. Today, the five prefectures of Henan The land will definitely be able to compete with Liu Chan. At the same time, you can order people to go north to Jizhou, instigate rebellion against the generals who have surrendered to the Han, and fight together."

"promise!"

Wang Ling's campaign against Liu Xiwen swept across several states in Henan. Wang Chang, who had surrendered, beheaded the envoys sent by Liu Chan, occupied Chenliu and rebelled.Zhuge Dan also set up a banner, blocked the banks of the Yellow River, prohibited the Han army from crossing the river, and sent envoys to pay homage to Cao Biao, performing the ceremony of being a king and minister.
