Chapter 33 Just around the corner
In a secret room in the Hejian Palace in Chang'an City, all the servants and servants were abandoned. Only Sima Yong and Li Han were talking about something. Sima Yong listened to Li Han's words, sometimes smiling, sometimes contemplating, and sometimes interrupting the other party's words and talking loudly.
"King, this is the last chance to achieve your great cause. If Sima Yu pacified Jing Yang in the south, he would inevitably eliminate the powerful vassal kings in various places, including you. At least he would not let the vassal kings come out of the town to lead the troops. By then, all the kings and princes would be fish on Sima Yu's chopping board!" When Li Han said this, his facial expression was rich, trying to impress Sima Yu.
He saw Sima Yong's eyes closed slightly and his face was expressionless. He continued, "Now Sima Yong has confiscated the home of Shi Chong, the richest man in Luoyang, and obtained countless money. As long as there is a time, the court can greatly increase the strength of the imperial guards with this money. Moreover, according to our spy in Luoyang, Sima Yong has issued an edict to assign all the foreign camp troops to imperial guards. At that time, Sima Yong will have an elite army of nearly 100,000 people. By then, even if all the vassal kings unite, it will not be shaken by the slightest."
Sima Yong was only moved at this time. He opened his slightly closed eyes and said, "I want to know how great the chance of accomplishing this time? How do you do it?" Li Han heard Sima Yong say this and knew that he was already moved. He hurriedly added:
"Now, the Jingyang war has begun. Even if it cannot attract some of the troops of the imperial guards to Jiangnan and Jiangdong, it can at least ensure that Sima will not be able to transfer most of the imperial guards from Luoyang to various places to suppress the rebellion. So we take advantage of this time to contact the kings and sages from all directions. As long as we can convince them to believe that Sima will continue to be in danger in the future. They will inevitably work together with the king and issue an edict to fight against the emperor. Many of them will also respond to the edict to march into Luoyang and eradicate Sima. Even if some people are at both ends of the heads and rats, they will not obstruct us at this time."
Sima Yong curled a smile on his lips and said to Li Han: "Shirong, don't forget Sima Ying, he is the most powerful vassal king except for orphans. If he had not participated, the risk of this matter was extremely high. If he still helped Sima Yu, there would be no hope of success. But last time, we broke his appointment with him, could he still unite with us?"
Li Han smiled and said, "Please rest assured by the king. Sima Ying had to unite with us because of this last incident. Last time he led troops to force Luoyang, Sima must have understood what was going on, but he did not turn against him immediately for various reasons. Sima Ying also knew that Sima Ying would settle the old account with him sooner or later."
Sima Yong narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then his vicious triangular eyes suddenly opened, as if he was determined to say: "So, then we will do it like this. But... but Gu still thinks that the risk is still a little higher by relying on military use to fuck Sima Yu. Gu thinks that he should pay more attention to it. He can also start from behind!"
A cold light flashed through Li Han's pupils and said to Sima Yong: "What the king means is a palace transformation or assassination? However, Sima Yu's palace city has tight defenses, and the imperial guards have been cleaned up many times by him. Whether it is a palace transformation or assassination, it is not realistic now."
Sima Yong laughed and said, "Shirong, you have not been in the fore for a long time, so I don't know some things. Many years ago, I began to spread nails in the palace in Luoyang City, just to open it at a critical moment. The imperial guard is indeed completely under the hands of Sima Yu, but there are still some of our people lurking among the imperial guards. Therefore, although the palace transformation cannot be launched, it does not prevent us from launching an assassination."
Li Han was overjoyed after hearing this and said to Sima Yong: "In this way, the chance of the king being successful is almost a little higher. When the subordinates contacted the kings and princes of all parties, they could launch an assassination. If they succeed, they could take Luoyang without bloodshed."
Sima Yong nodded and said, "Then it's settled. You should first arrange the proclamation and contact the princes and princes." Li Hannuo said, but he had no intention of leaving. Sima Yong looked at his eagerness to speak but stopped and asked, "Does Shirong have something to say?"
Li Han replied: "The subordinates do have something to report to the king. Huangfu Shang, the brother of the governor of Liangzhou, was an official in Luoyang. Huangfu Shang was loyal to Sima Yu and Sima Yi. If the war broke out, Huangfu Chong would definitely stand on Sima Yu's side and attack us in Guanzhong. In the precaution, our army would be threatened by Liangzhou in the rear. Therefore, we need to get rid of Huangfu Chong before."
After hearing this, Sima Yong understood in his heart that this was Li Han's intention to avenge his personal revenge. However, the truth in Li Han's words was also the same. So he spoke slowly and said: "Liangzhou was originally under the control of me, and it was still under the control of me. At that time, the lonely orders were deceived into Chang'an City and killed him. But since the last rebellion between Zhao and Li in Bashu, Liangzhou has been stripped out by Sima Yu. How do you get rid of him? Will you send troops directly to attack Liangzhou? Not to mention whether it can be defeated, isn't this exposed us too early?"
Li Han let out a few dry laughs and said to Sima Yong: "The subordinates have a plan to easily capture Huangfu Chong. They just need to send an envoy to impersonate Luoyang's imperial envoy to give him an imperial edict and Hui him into the capital as an official. If he wants to go to Luoyang, Chang'an is his only way, and he will stop him from capturing and killing halfway."
"This plan is very wonderful, just do it like this." Sima Yong said with a decision.
...
In the Chengdu Palace of Yecheng, Sima Ying, who was sitting at the head of the hall, didn't raise her face. While wiping his shiny sword with cotton cloth, he said to Li Han who was standing under the hall: "What are you thinking about when you are running to my Yecheng in Jizhou today?" His tone was obviously contempt.
Li Han had expected this, and a pile of smiles squeezed on his face and said to Sima Ying: "Qi reported to King Chengdu, Han came this time on the order of King Hejian to discuss with His Highness the matter of jointly attacking Sima Yu."
Sima Ying sneered, fiddled with the sword that had been wiped in her hand twice, holding it in her hand, and the tip of the sword was already pointed at Li Han. But soon, he took the sword back and looked at the sharpness of the blade. However, he said, "You are afraid you have forgotten what happened last time, do you want to play this king again this time?"
Li Han hurriedly said: "The lower-ranking official was about to explain this to the king. My lord had no intention of lying to your highness. It was because the last time the change was too fast, so he had to change the plan. In addition, my lord sent a messenger to notify the king, but he was unable to convey the news in time. The king must not misunderstand my lord."
