Wen Duan retreated and followed his father Wen Qin to the State of Wu, where Qiu Jian was shot and sent to Luoyang, where the second largest rebellion in the State of Wei ended after Wang Ling's rebellion. This rebellion had a considerable impact on the State of Wei, the biggest of which was Sima Shi's eyes.
Sima Shi was on the front line with his wounds and illness, and was overly frightened by Wen Yuan's night attack on the camp, and as a result, his eyes shook out of his eyes, which was all unbelievable, but that happened. To say that the loss of one eye would not have been too big a problem, but Sima Shi was obviously implicated in other parts of his body this time, and soon after the return of the great army banshi, that is, in the first month of 255 AD, he actually died in Xuchang, at the age of forty-eight.
After Sima Shi's death, his younger brother Sima Zhao succeeded him, and Emperor Cao Xian made him a general, plus Shizhong ( 侍中 ) , giving him command of the entire country 's army and taking full control of the military and political power of the State of Wei. In order to show respect for Sima Zhao, Cao Xian also allowed Sima Zhao to wear a sword during the shang dynasty. Sima Zhao did not accept the actual power in the front, and he resigned for the last honor.
After another year, in June 256 AD, Cao Xian jin made Sima Zhao the Duke of Gaodu, gave him a fief of seven hundred miles, and then added nine tins, and the title of Jin was the governor of Dadu, and he could wear a sword to the dynasty. Sima Zhao continued to be modest and resigned all this.
Let's see, for the two rewards of Emperor Cao Xian, Sima Zhao should not return to you, there may be emperors rewarding you with these, that already shows that Sima Zhao's power has reached a certain level, far needless to say, the near one is like Cao Cao during the Han Xiandi period, that is just this status. But then again, how much ability there is, how much responsibility, how high a position, how much risk to bear, it will not be long before Sima Zhao's test will come, and like his father Sima Yi and his brother Sima Shi, he is also facing a rebellion, which is the last rebellion of the three major rebellions of the State of Wei, the Zhuge Birthday Rebellion.
Zhuge Shi is no stranger to this person, in the previous story he appeared repeatedly, just after the end of the Rebellion of Wuqiu Jian and Wen Qin, he also captured Shouchun as the counterinsurgency side, because of his meritorious combat, he was given the title of Marquis of Gaoping, given the fiefdom of 3,500 households, and was promoted from general of Zhendong to general of Zhengdong.
Although it is said that he was promoted to an official and received a reward, but Zhuge Zhi's heart is very unreliable, you see, his good friend Xiahou Xuan was killed because he opposed Sima Shi, after the defeat of Wang Ling and Wu qiu Jianbing, who rebelled twice before, they were all wiped out of the three tribes, and he himself was once Cao Shuang's person, and now Sima Zhao is in charge of the power of the State of Wei, what will happen next, it is really difficult to say. In this way, Zhuge Zhi started to light up in advance, if you want to not be picked up by others, first of all, you have to thicken your arms and thighs, so he bought people's hearts in his own station, and raised a lot of so-called dead soldiers and thousands of people, just in case something happened to protect yourself.
Although he had made some small preparations, Zhuge Zhi knew in his heart that compared with the entire Wei state, it was still too much worse, and at present he was still the great general of the Wei state, responsible for the work of defending the state of Wu in the southeast, if he could find an excuse to ask the Wei state for some military supplies, it was still reasonable!
Therefore, in 256 AD, Zhuge Zhi wrote to the imperial court, saying that wu had recently made frequent moves, and it seemed that it was a bit of a northern expedition, and in order to prevent trouble, he hoped that the imperial court could give him an additional 100,000 troops, and then allocate funds to build a city along the Huai River to resist the Wu army.
The other side did not have any substantive moves, you asked for an increase of 100,000 troops, build a city, Sima Zhao obviously will not agree, not only did not agree, Sima Zhao will actually have a defensive heart for Zhuge Birthday. It turned out that Sima Zhao had just taken power in the State of Wei, and had been worried that some people would not be convinced, especially those generals who were stationed outside, and the then commander Shi Jiachong gave him an idea and sent several groups of people to comfort the four generals of Zhengdong, Zhengnan, Zhengxi, and Zhengbei, the main purpose of which was to see the ideological dynamics of the four generals, to find out whether they supported themselves and whether there were any signs of rebellion.
Among these four generals, the most important was Zhuge Birthday, and out of attention, Sima Zhao sent Jia Chong to Huainan to meet Zhuge Birthday. After the two people met, after saying a few words on the scene together, Jia Chong entered the theme, "Many people of insight in Luoyang hope that the country can realize Zen concessions, General Zhuge What do you think?" ”
Hearing Jia Chong's words, Zhuge Shi's face immediately sank, and he said sharply, "Your father Jia Kui is a first-class loyal vassal of the State of Wei, and the Jia family has been deeply favored by the state for generations, so why would you think of transferring the country to someone else?" I put my words here today, if there is any danger in Luoyang, I am willing to die for the country. ”
At this moment, Jia Chong was fiercely humiliated by Zhuge Shi, and he had to be silent, and the conversation behind him could not continue.
