If God wants to destroy it, he will make it crazy first. Sima Zhao insists on his own, and I am afraid that the entire Sima clan will fall into the abyss of darkness.

Sima Zhao's move was equivalent to touching Sima Lun's bottom line. Sima Lun was shocked and completely angry.

To be honest, Sima Lun's life and death towards Cao Mao was just a matter of interest, and he had no special feelings, but Sima Shi was different. His elder brother was like his father. Over the years, Sima Shi treated him as his own son, as if he were born, even more close than his own son. People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless? Sima Lun respected Sima Shi very much.

But he was unfortunately killed, and the one who killed was not someone else, but his own brother, which made Sima Lun feel sad and angry.

The soldiers of Sima's army were also very indignant and asked Sima Lun to return to Chang'an to avenge Sima Taishi.

But Sima Lun was silent. It was not that he did not want to avenge Sima Shi, but that the conditions were not allowed. Although Sima Lun had a hundred thousand troops in his hands, he was dragged to Pubanjin by the Bingzhou army. Sima Lun tried his best but still failed. If he withdrew his troops back to Chang'an at this moment, the entire Pubanjin defense line would be declared collapsed.

Once Pubanjin's defense collapsed, there was no danger in the entire Guanzhong. Before Sima Lun returned to Chang'an, I was afraid that the Bingzhou army would follow him and the destruction of the Sima family was in front of me.

Although Sima Lun also wanted to raise troops to avenge Sima Shi, reason told him that he should not be impulsive. With the current forces in Sima Lun's hands, revenge is just a breeze, but the price of revenge is to exchange the future and destiny of the Sima family, which is not a cost-effective deal in any case.

This undoubtedly shows Sima Zhao's viciousness and scheming. Sima Zhao is obsessed with profit, but he is not brainless and reckless insanity. Instead, he captured Sima Lun's weakness and knew that Sima Lun could not ignore the overall situation. As long as Sima Lun had restraint, no matter how many troops Sima Lun had, it would be useless and could not do anything to him.

Sima Zhao calculated the timing just right. He was just taking advantage of the Bingzhou army's large-scale attack. When Sima Lun had no time to look west, he brazenly launched a palace coup, killed the emperor and his brother, trampled on the corpses of ten thousand people, and climbed to the throne of the Nine Five Lords.

In fact, Sima Zhao's move is no less than a dance at the tip of a knife. If he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces and die without a place to bury him. All his hopes are actually dependent on Sima Lun's rationality. If Sima Lun is not calm enough, he will definitely fight for one to die together.

Of course, Sima Zhao still had a bargaining chip in his hand, that is Sima Lun's mother Bai Lingjun, and Bai Lingjun was Sima Lun's weakness. For the sake of his mother's safety, Sima Lun would definitely not take any gambles and take risks.

After Sima Zhao became emperor, he soon issued an edict to grant Sima Lun the title of King Zhao, Bai Lingjun the title of concubine, Zhong Hui the title of General Zhendong, Hu Fen the title of General Zhennan, and Zhoutai the title of General Zhenbei, and Guo, who were able to appease him to do his best.

At the same time, Sima Zhao ordered Hu Fen, Zhou Tai and Sima Liang and Sima Yichang to change defense areas, transferred Hu Fen to Beidi County, Zhou Tai to Anding County, and transferred Sima Liang and Sima Liang, who had just been promoted to be king, to Tongguan and Wuguan.

The seemingly ordinary defense zone exchange was actually Sima Zhao taking the opportunity to seize and erode Sima Lun's power. Hu Fen and Zhou Tai were the two governors appointed by Sima Lun. They stationed in Tongguan and Wuguan respectively, and formed the eastern defense line of Guanzhong with Zhong Hui's troops stationed in Pubanjin. These three passes were the most important and were related to the safety of the entire Guanzhong. If Sima Liang and Sima Yiqiang were able to take on these two positions, Sima Lun would have arranged them long ago.

It is precisely because the defenses of Tongguan and Wuguan are crucial that Sima Lun dared not be nepotist. Instead, he chose Hu Fen and Zhoutai, who were more experienced, to assume this important responsibility. After Sima Zhao ascended the throne, in order to eliminate dissidents, he transferred Hu Fen and Zhoutai from Tongguan Wuguan, which undoubtedly laid huge hidden dangers on the entire eastern defense line.

Zhong Hui believed that Sima Zhao's move was to cut off Sima Lun's right-hand man and erode Sima Lun's power step by step. If this move succeeded, perhaps Sima Zhao would soon continue to attack Linjin Pass. On this issue of principle, Sima Lun should not give in, but should fight back against tit and prevent Sima Zhao's conspiracy from succeeding.

"Counterattack?" Sima Lun smiled bitterly. He also wanted to launch a counterattack, but the conditions were not allowed. If he and Sima Zhao killed each other, then the only one who got the advantage in the end was Cao Liang. At this moment, Cao Liang was hoping that their brothers would kill each other. In this way, he could benefit the fisherman.

Now he seemed to understand the offensive adopted by the Bingzhou Army in Pubanjin. This calm offensive could not break through the Sima Army's defense line, but it played a very good role in pulling Sima Lun's 100,000 troops tightly on Pubanjin, unable to leave at all.

If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible, Sima Lun would even doubt whether Sima Zhao and Cao Liang had colluded. If the two had not colluded, how could they cooperate so well?

Of course, Sima Lun also thought this was impossible. After all, the Sima family and Cao Liang had an irreconcilable blood hatred, and Cao Liang could not indulge Sima Zhao to proclaim himself emperor. The tacit understanding between the two seemed to be a tacit result, which made Sima Lun admire Cao Liang's plan.

If Cao Liang wanted to launch a strong attack, he would lose a lot of troops in Pubanjin alone. However, if he could take advantage of the internal conflicts within the Sima family and cause civil strife, perhaps Cao Liang could achieve the goal of not being bloody.

In this way, is Cao Liang really involved in the plan to assassinate Cao Mao? Sima Lun was also skeptical about his previous views. Perhaps Cao Liang deliberately sent someone to assassinate Cao Mao in order to stir up chaos within them. To achieve his goal, he would do anything. Isn’t this the usual trick of politicians?

The more this happens, the less Sima Lun can do anything rashly. Since Cao Liang has planned to have civil strife in the Sima family, he will definitely arrange a backup plan. Once Sima Lun really fights Sima Zhao, Cao Liang will definitely stab the Sima family in the weakness.

For the sake of the overall situation, Sima Lun could only swallow his anger and temporarily endured it. He accepted the title of King Zhao, changed the flag and changed the banner, and changed the banner of Wei to Jin.

Although the world (to be precise, the world of Yongliang) had the surname Sima, Sima Lun was in a very gloomy mood and could not be happy at all.
