"This bell meeting is simply bold, and there is no master!" Sima Yan slammed the piece handed over by Zhong Hui on the dragon case.

At this moment, it was late at night, and Sima Yan was playing with the dragon and phoenix on the dragon couch with Queen Yang Yan, turning the clouds and rain, and suddenly the eunuch outside the door reported that the documents from Yizhou were delivered. Sima Yan jumped to the ground barefoot after finishing the work, and ordered the deacon and eunuch to take the paperwork, and dismantled it and looked at it, it turned out to be Zhong Hui's refusal to return to the army, and he couldn't help but be furious.

"Why is Your Majesty so angry?" Yang Yan put on a silk nightgown and came to Sima Yan's side, her snowy shoulders were half-naked, don't look at Yang Yan gave birth to three pairs of children, that figure was not discounted at all, her willow waist was slender, and she was born beautiful, no wonder she was over thirty years old, and she could still fascinate Sima Yan.

Sima Yan's anger did not subside, he snorted heavily, and said: "The situation in the Central Plains is worrying, I originally wanted to transfer the troops of the Zhonghui in Yizhou to deal with Lu Kang, but this Zhonghui is really bold, not only refused to return to the army, but also pushed back and found a lot of reasons, did he think that I was a three-year-old child and didn't know the severity?" How unreasonable! ”

Yang Yan raised her hand and picked up the paperwork, looked at it, put it back on the dragon case, and said, "Your Majesty is angry, it is not worth hurting your body to be angry for this kind of rebel." According to the concubines, this bell will probably have the heart to stand on its own, and His Majesty has to guard against it. "Yang Yan is not only beautiful, but also extremely intelligent, no wonder she can be favored among the hundreds of beauties in the harem.

Sima Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and said: "The little Jiujiu in Zhonghui's heart, how can I not know that if I support the army and respect myself, and if I don't obey the order, my heart should be punished!" ”

Yang Yan said: "Zhong Hui is ambitious, and his anti-heart is revealed, but now Zhong Hui has 100,000 heavy soldiers, and His Majesty is in a hurry, so he must be lured to return to Luoyang before he can do it, otherwise there may be trouble." ”

Sima Yan nodded and said, "I also know this, but Zhong Hui insists on refusing to return to the army, so what can I do?" ”

Yang Yan smiled lightly and said: "Although the concubine is not familiar with state affairs, she also knows that Shu has been fighting for many years, thousands of miles of red land, and the grain and grass needed by Zhonghui's 100,000 army depends on the supply of the Central Plains. Although Zhong Hui was suspicious, there was no food in the army, so he would not be able to hold it for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before he returned to the Central Plains. When he returns to the Central Plains, won't it all be up to His Majesty? ”

Sima Yan laughed, grabbed Yang Yan's slender willow waist, and said: "The queen is still smart, with such a clever plan, Zhong Hui will die without a place to be buried." ”

Yang Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the chosen son, so naturally you can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious. ”

"Well said!" Sima Yan laughed, stretched his tiger arms, hugged Yang Yan by the waist, and walked towards the dragon couch.

In the morning of the next day, Sima Yan did not mention anything about Zhong Hui's recital, but issued an order to praise Zhong Hui's exploits in Yizhou in the past few years, and named Zhong Hui as the Duke of Xinyang, with 20,000 households in the city, and added the prince Taibao to show his favor.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Sima Yan left Jia Chong alone, and Jia Chong said: "Your Majesty issued an edict that Zhong will order him to return to the army, but there is no news so far, why did Your Majesty add an official to Zhong Hui at this time?" ”

Sima Yan smiled but did not speak, and ordered the left and right to hand Zhong Hui's letter to Jia Chong, Jia Chong looked at it, was shocked, and said: "Zhong Hui supports the army and respects himself, and his anti-heart is revealed. ”

Sima Yan said: "Zhong will support the troops in Shudi, and if he does not accept the dispatch, he will have different intentions, and it is not appropriate to be appeased at this time, so I will add an official to him to the knighthood to calm his heart." ”

Jia Chong said with deep sorrow: "Now Zhong Hui refuses to return to the army, and it will be troubled for a long time." ”

Sima Yan said: "This doesn't matter, the grain and grass support of the Yizhou army depends on the supply of Jingzhou, as long as its grain and grass supply is reduced, Zhonghui will not be able to hold on to Yizhou for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before the troops are withdrawn back to the Central Plains." Gonglu, you will personally handle this matter, under the pretext of this year's food shortage, cut the supply of grain and grass, and at the same time secretly order the prison guard to secretly cooperate, and be sure to bring back the 100,000 troops intact. ”

What is most lacking in Sima Yan's hands now is the lack of troops, the southern and western fronts are tight at the same time, the strength is stretched, Zhong Hui's more than 100,000 troops are Sima Yan's greatest hope, just a Zhong Hui, dare to give birth to a rebellious heart, it is not a pity to die, but 100,000 Jin soldiers, that is Sima Yan's heart, there is no room for loss.

After Jia Chong received the order, he immediately set about to do it. The affairs of allocating grain and grass to Yizhou are under the management of Du Zhi Shangshu, and now he is serving as Du Shangshu, He Shao, Shilang Pei Kai, and Jia Chong is Situ and Lu Shangshu, and many affairs of Shangshutai must be handled by him.

When he arrived at the Duzhi Shangshu Mansion, Jia Chong summoned He Shao and Pei Kai to him and gave instructions like this.

Pei Kai said with a stunned face: "The grain and grass of the Yizhou army cannot be raised locally, and all of them have to rely on the supply of the imperial court. ”

Jia Chong said indifferently: "This is the holy will, you follow it, as for what happens in the Yizhou army, it is not a matter for you to take care of." ”

He Shao immediately said: "Master Jia, don't worry, we will do what we are told, and we will never send an extra grain of grain." ”

Jia nodded meaningfully and said: "Very good, you know about this matter, don't let others know, if you leak the slightest rumor, Your Majesty will blame it, it is a capital crime!" ”

The two of them complied with their promises and did as they were told. All the grain and grass materials sent to Yizhou were handled by Jingzhou, and the Duzhi Shangshu Mansion only needed to issue documents, and the documents could be sent to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

After finishing the affairs in Shangshu's mansion, Pei Kai returned home, and his wife Tian saw his soulless appearance, so she said: "What does the husband think, so distracted?" ”

Pei Kai sighed heavily and said, "Today, Jia Situ suddenly came to Duzhi Shangshu Mansion and asked for a sixty percent reduction in the military rations allocated to Yizhou, and said that this was His Majesty's will. ”

Tian said: "Isn't it General Zhong Zhen Xizhong who is leading the army in Yizhou now?" ”

Pei Kai said solemnly: "This is also where I am embarrassed, if I cut sixty percent of the salary, I am afraid that the entire Yizhou army will be unsustainable, if it is really according to Jia Situ's statement, this is the emperor's will, it means that the emperor has hidden murderous intentions against General Zhong, and General Zhong is probably in trouble." ”

Tian said in a panic: "Husband, how is this good, General Zhong has the grace of knowing you, you ...... Can't you die without help? (To be continued.) )
