When Yan Rui left Xiangyang, he almost rode his horse and galloped, he couldn't wait to give birth to wings, and flew to Luoyang at once, when Xiangyang was lost, Yan Rui had already rushed to Xinye, and the defeated soldiers who escaped from Xiangyang were far behind him.

The county order of Xinye County is Yan Rui's old acquaintance, and he was also shocked after hearing the news, and immediately changed Yan Rui to a new fast horse, and sent a number of entourages to escort Yan Rui all the way to Beijing.

Yan Rui ignored his fatigue and physical strength, ran wildly day and night, and finally arrived in Luoyang five days later.

The first courtier to see Yan Rui was Jia Chong, who happened to be on duty in Shangshutai, and when he heard an urgent report from Jingzhou, Jia Chong immediately ordered the people below to bring Yan Rui in, and after asking for details, Jia Chong went straight to the palace as soon as possible and reported the news to Sima Yan.

After Sima Yan heard the news, he sat down on the royal seat at that time, stunned.

What Sima Yan was most worried about and feared finally happened. Zhonghui has always been a hidden worry in his heart, when he knew that Zhonghui supported the army and intended to be self-reliant, Sima Yan decisively took measures to force Zhonghui to evacuate Yizhou, the most obvious and effective means is of course to cut off the supply of grain and grass for Zhonghui's army, the army has no food, Zhonghui has no food, it is naturally impossible to gain a foothold in Yizhou, and it is inevitable to withdraw the army back to Jingzhou.

In order to prevent Zhonghui from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Sima Yan secretly ordered Sima Liang and Wei Qian to cooperate closely, using the means of overhead Zhonghui, to take down the control of the army, according to the information fed back from Jingzhou, everything was expected and controlled by Sima Yan, and the progress was quite smooth, and the edict of Zhong Hui and Wei Qian entering Beijing had been delivered to the Xiangyang army, if nothing else, Zhong Hui and Wei Qian would leave Xiangyang in these few days and come to Luoyang, so Sima Yan's henchmen would be completely eliminated.

But at this juncture, something happened in Xiangyang, Zhong Hui not only reversed, but also killed Sima Liang, the king of Fufeng, and Wei Qian, the prison army, and captured Xiangyang, so that Sima Yan's overall plan was completely frustrated.

The loss of Xiangyang dealt a heavy blow to Sima Yan, and its significance was no less than the loss of Guanzhong, and in the case of the simultaneous tightening of the southern and western fronts, Zhong Hui's rebellion was even more meaningful, which made Sima Yan, who was struggling, even worse.

"Zhong Hui is really the opposite, what the queen mother said, it is really true." Sima Yan's expression was a little sluggish.

When Zhong Hui led the troops to go on the expedition, Wang Yuanji once advised Sima Zhao: "Zhong will forget his righteousness when he sees profit, he will cause trouble, and he will be chaotic if he is spoiled, and he must not take on a big responsibility." Sima Zhao was confident that everything was under his control, so he did not listen to Wang Yuanji's advice and insisted on sending Zhonghui to lead the army to crusade against Shu.

Zhong Hui is in power, on the one hand, he excludes dissidents, and slashes Zhuge Xu's military power, Deng Ai's defeat of Yin Ping is also inseparable from him, it is through this means that Zhong Hui gradually became a winged in Yizhou, and the heart of self-reliance was clearly revealed. And Sima Zhao's death made Zhong Hui even more jealous, and when Sima Yan had the heart to deal with Zhong Hui, he had already found that it was gradually becoming a big deal.

Sima Yan didn't dare to force it, so he could only use a combination of rigidity and softness, focusing on Huairou, and wantonly knighted Zhong Hui to eliminate his vigilance, and at the same time secretly stepped up the means of weakening his military power, and it seemed that it was about to be done, but at this moment, the news from Xiangyang made Sima Yan feel like a slap in the face.

"Your Majesty, Zhonghui is against Xiangyang, the matter is very important, and troops should be sent to suppress it immediately, if you sit idly by, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more difficult to control." Jia Chong's worries are not unreasonable, Zhonghui's rebellion is likely to be just the beginning, the Jin Dynasty was established, and those old and young people loyal to Cao Wei hibernate without a suitable opportunity, if Zhonghui's rebellion cannot be quelled in a short time, those forces loyal to the previous dynasty or those who are trying to fish in troubled waters are likely to be ready to move, and when the time comes, it will cause the situation to get out of control.

Sima Yan naturally understands the priority of this matter, since Sima came to power, there have been three rebellions in Huainan, each time Sima has carried out a rebellion with lightning speed, and has always suppressed the rebel forces to the smallest extent, without causing a nationwide impact.

The degree of harm of the internal rebellion is far greater than the invasion of foreign enemies, so in dealing with the problem of internal strife, the Sima clan will always spare no effort, but when the Huainan rebellion was quelled, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao had that strength and ability during their reign, and now Sima Yan is in the midst of internal and external troubles, whether he still has such ability, it is debatable.

Zhonghui has more than 100,000 troops, accounting for one-fifth of the total strength of the Jin State, on the surface it seems that Zhonghui's strength is not strong enough, the total number of troops of the Jin army is now four times that of him, enough to form a crushing trend, but the Jin State is now attacked on both sides, and the strength is already tight, and the difficulty of wanting to transfer into the army of Zhonghui can be imagined.

But no matter how tight Sima Yan is, he can't sit back and ignore Zhonghui's rebellion, the invasion of Shu and the invasion of Wu can be put aside and slowed down, but the internal rebellion cannot be tolerated, Sima Yan has already planned where to send soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion.

At this moment, a deacon and eunuch ran up to the palace in a panic and reported: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou sent a messenger to say that something big happened in Bingzhou." ”

"What?" Sima Yan stood up suddenly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
