Xu Yi's life and death are naturally insignificant to Sima Shi. It is true that Xu Qian is a hero of the court, but he is just Cao Cao's subordinate and not a subordinate of the Sima family. Sima Shi naturally does not need to be sympathetic to him.

As for the title of the village marquis, it was a lot of people in the court, and there was nothing rare. Death of one or two would reduce the burden on the court. Anyway, Xu Yi was killed for his crime, so after he died, the title would naturally be stolen and could no longer be inherited to his descendants.

On the contrary, Sima Shi highly appreciates Zhong Hui's attitude. He must be selfless in governing the army and considers human nature everywhere. Where is the majesty of military law? Zhong Hui is strict in governing the army and the military discipline is strict. Only an army with strict military discipline can have stronger combat effectiveness.

Although the Sima army suffered 3,000 casualties in Gaoyi's battle, this was not enough to shake Sima's confidence. Compared with the more than 100,000 troops, it was just a drop in the bucket. The loss of some fur could not reach the point of being damaged. Of course, Sima army didn't care.

There is no doubt that Xu Yi was responsible for the failure this time. He ignored military orders and pursued them rashly, which eventually led to the failure of this battle. Therefore, he deserved to be killed.

After this battle, other generals will learn lessons and no longer advance lightly, so naturally they will no longer easily capture the Bingzhou Army's plan.

Zhong Hui's handling was extremely appropriate in this battle. If it weren't for his timely rescue, the troops in the front might have been destroyed. In other words, Zhong Hui saved at least 7,000 lives. After completing the rescue, Zhong Hui was extremely calm and did not blindly pursue the Bingzhou army during the retreat, avoiding the danger of being ambushed again.

What Sima needed was a leading general like Zhong Hui who was both decisive, decisive, and cautious, and careful. Therefore, Sima did not punish Zhong Hui at all, but told him to do it carefully and move forward in the established direction.

With the support of Sima Shi, Zhong Hui's confidence became more fulfilled. He ordered a day to rest in Gaoyi, to convene the generals to discuss matters, and once again strictly enforce military discipline, requiring the generals to obey orders. No matter whoever is, as long as the military order is violated, Xu Yi is an example and will never tolerate it.

Zhong Hui also emphasized in particular that he would never allow any requests for the criminal general in the future. Zhong Hui wanted to kill Xu Yi, and a large number of people gathered there to plead for Xu Yi. What kind of morality is that Zhong Hui was very upset as the chief general, and so many people came to challenge his authority.

It’s not that Zhong Hui and Xu Yi have a grudge, and they have to put Xu Yi in death. If Zhong Hui and Xu Yi have a grudge, then the position of pioneer will definitely not be Xu Yi’s turn. Zhong Hui is a person who is vengeful. Whoever has grudge against him will definitely kill the other party if he gets the chance.

Zhong Hui was born in a famous family, and his career was smooth sailing. He had a very high level of calligraphy attainment. A story in "The New Words of the World" was recorded in "The New Words of the World": When Zhong Hui finished writing "Four Books", he wanted to ask Ji Kang to see him, but he was afraid that Ji Kang would not look down on him. In desperation, he "twisted away from home and left behind." Later, Zhong Hui, who became a high-ranking official, visited Ji Kang again, but Ji Kang ignored him and continued to "wrought iron" under the big tree at the door of his house. The fire was raging, and Ji Kang raised his hand and fell down, looking as if no one was around. Zhong Hui finally felt bored, so he decided to leave in disappointment. At this time, Ji Kang finally spoke. He asked Zhong Hui: "Where did you hear and what you see and what you see?" Zhong Hui replied: "Where did you hear and what you see and what you see and what you see." Zhong Hui felt embarrassed about this visit and was deeply resentful.

Later, because of the Lu An case, Ji Kang was involved, so Zhong Hui offered slander in front of Sima Zhao, causing Sima Zhao, who was already very dissatisfied with Ji Kang to order Ji Kang and Lu An to be executed. Of course, this is a later story, but it also proves that Zhong Hui's vengeful villain's way of revenge.

Now Zhong Hui insists on killing Xu Yi because Zhong Hui is eager to gain authority in the army. Although he has served as the governor of Hebei for more than two years, he has never served in the central military system. This time, he led the vanguard army as General of the North. Many people are still dissatisfied with the fact that Zhong Hui does not have the qualifications.

If you want to gain authority in the army, the best way is to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but it is not that easy to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, especially when facing the very powerful Bingzhou Army, it is not easy to make meritorious contributions.

Then Zhong Hui can only settle for the second best, choose to kill people to establish his authority, and who should he kill? Of course, those who violate military orders can only shock their subordinates and make everyone afraid by following the orders.

In fact, the whole thing can only be considered as Xu Yi's unlucky. Zhong Hui was eager to kill someone to establish his authority, but he was desperate to hit the gun. He violated the military order and suffered a defeat. The two crimes were one, and Xu Yi's head was destined to be unable to be protected.

After killing Xu Yi, Zhong Hui's purpose was obviously achieved. The entire army's appearance changed a lot. The generals who were originally somewhat casual became nervous one by one, and their attitude towards Zhong Hui became much more respectful.

If you kill one to warn a hundred, Zhong will be satisfied with the effect of this incident. Xu Yi is just a chess piece in his hand. There is nothing to worry about if you give it up. Xu Yi's death can bring enough prestige to Zhong, and he can be considered dead.

Next, Zhong Hui appointed Hu Lie as the commander of the former army and drew 3,000 people from the rear army to supplement the shortage of the former army, so that the establishment of the former army was still 10,000.

Hu Lie was the son of Hu Zun and the younger brother of Hu Fen. Hu Zun was defeated in Bingzhou and was captured alive by the Bingzhou army. He had no choice but to surrender to Cao Liang. However, Hu Fen and Hu Lie and other six brothers were not implicated, but continued to be valued by the Sima family. In particular, Hu Fen served as General Zhennan. For the sake of Sima's army's upstart in the court, the power to moxibustion hand Kere.

This time, Hu Lie also went to Jizhou with Sima Shi as a general of the guards and appointed him to Zhong Hui. As long as he made military achievements this time and was promoted to the title, it would be no problem.

As for Hu Zun, after being forced to surrender to Cao Liang, he was not valued. He fell ill and died within two years. In the eyes of many people, Hu Zun has become a typical example of being unable to protect his health in the evening. If he had known this, it would be better to die on the battlefield and be in a battle and be in a horse and be in a corpse, at least he could have gained a good reputation.

After Hu Lie became the vanguard, he was even more confident. He led his front troops to follow Zhong Hui's orders and fought in Zhending's direction. He was full of momentum and was invincible.
