"What should the old man do about this matter?" Ma Teng asked with a sigh again.
"Let's just wait and see what happens. Now the heroes in Guanzhong are dominated by Zhong Yao, and Zhong Yao is probably the one who has the most headache in this matter." Ma Chao pondered for a moment, then said with a smile.
But his eyes are sharp, and he can distinguish the key at a glance.
"Well, I'll leave it to Zhong Yao." Ma Teng nodded helplessly when he heard that there was nothing he could do.
In this way, Ma Teng gradually became alienated from the alliance, even Ma Teng, who had always supported the alliance, was thinking this way, not to mention the other suspicious princes.
Chang'an, the war has not yet broken out, so Chang'an is still operating very well, there is an endless stream of carriages, caravans gather in Chang'an, and then disperse to the world, a faction of prosperity.

Near the center of the city, in the hall of Sili School, Zhong Yao and Sima Yi sat in the main hall.Sima Yi closed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
After a long time, Sima Yi opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Yao who was sitting on the main seat. He saw that Zhong Yao looked sad and depressed.
"My lord, now is not the time to be sad, it's time to find a way to deal with this matter." Sima Yi raised his fist and said.
"What does Zhongda think?" Zhong Yao asked weakly as he rubbed his temples with a headache now.
"Prepare the barracks so that Zhang Heng can stay there temporarily. And send someone to reprimand Cheng Yin and ask him to return the city Zhang Heng left." Sima Yi said without thinking.
This is the way of panacea. As the temporary leader, Zhong Yao is obliged to maintain the harmony among allies, but unfortunately Zhong Yao does not have the power to interfere with the army, so he can only win over the losers and reprimand the winners.As for the practical significance, it does not have that ability.
"Although I don't have the strength to send troops to intervene, it really shouldn't make people feel cold. It is right to reprimand Cheng Yin, but this old man cares more about Zhang Heng's soldiers." Sima Yi started, and Zhong Yao's thinking broadened. , he took a deep breath and said after pondering for a moment.
Sima Yi's heart moved when he heard the words, and he said, "Your Excellency, you want to annex Zhang Heng's troops?"
"The heroes of Guanzhong have been fighting for years, and the city is nothing, because no resources can be squeezed out. Only the strength of the troops is real, even the city of Chang'an where the old man sits. Now that Zhang Heng is defeated and came to join the old man, it is really too much It couldn't be better. But there is a saying that is good, no matter how hungry you are when eating, you shouldn't be too ugly. We secretly recruited Zhang Heng's followers and reprimanded Cheng Yin severely in name, the stricter the better." Zhong Yao said.
"En." Sima Yi nodded secretly when he heard the words, the boss's scheming is still very good, eat what should be eaten, and what should be concealed must be concealed.
However, there was another problem in Sima Yi's mind. After thinking for a while, Sima Yi still raised his fist and said, "My lord, even if you want to take Zhang Heng down, don't be too hasty. You can't seize his military power immediately. It might backfire, and you need to be careful." Steady him."
"Well, that's what it should be. Let's do it quickly. Zhang Heng should be very close to Chang'an now." Zhong Yao nodded upon hearing this, agreeing with Sima Yi's judgment.
"Promise." Sima Yi heard the promise and went down to work.
In the north of Chang'an, about twenty miles away, a large army is slowly marching towards Chang'an.This large army is divided into half and half horses and infantry, and most of them have carriages.This army was obviously defeated, and many soldiers were stained with bright red blood, and their morale was very low.This was Zhang Heng's army who had suffered a defeat.
This time when Zhang Heng fought Cheng Yin, for the sake of authenticity, he actually fought Cheng Yin once. More than [-] soldiers were lost, and most of the rest were wounded, which was extremely tragic.
Although he suffered a defeat, Zhang Heng's mood was not too bad.Because his plan with Yiji is moving forward step by step, first enter Chang'an to deceive Zhong Yao's trust, and then find a way to help the Han Dynasty seize Tongguan.
As long as it is completed, there will be endless glory and wealth.At the front of the team, Zhang Heng rode his horse and walked, full of enthusiasm.
At this time, Zhang Heng couldn't help thinking about the beauties that Yi Ji gave him, they were really soft and charming.Even better than his concubine Ding Shi.I heard that in the prosperous Central Plains, there are countless beauties like this.
Thinking about it, Zhang Heng's heart became even hotter.

8 Chapter Thirty
But while his heart was burning, Zhang Heng was also a little sad. He turned his head and glanced at the army. Most of the carriages under the army's gaze were his clan and family members.
When I go to Chang'an, I'm afraid that all the heads will fall to the ground.And it was he who sent it to the guillotine himself, the purpose was only for stable prosperity and wealth.
People are not grass, who can be ruthless.Zhang Heng once hesitated in his heart, killed Yi Ji, and then told Zhong Yao about Liu Feng's conspiracy, but in the end Zhang Heng did not do this, but led his troops to fight Cheng Yin, abandoned Gaoling, and came to Chang'an.
Just when Zhang Heng was feeling complicated, the team walked for more than ten miles.This is already near Chang'an, and there are dense farmlands around, and farmers can be seen farming from time to time.
Looking at the busy scene around him, Zhang Heng's eyes were full of greed, and his rebellious thoughts became more determined. Compared with his Gaoling City, this Chang'an is the real land of wealth and honor.The prosperity of the Central Plains should far exceed that of Chang'an, and the prosperity can be seen.Marquis Wanhu, what a noble title that is.
Zhang Heng is greedy, and Yi Ji is also greedy.Because of his status, it was difficult for Yiji to be exposed, so Yiji sat alone in a carriage, and nothing happened on the road. Yiji also liked to raise the curtain of the carriage to observe the situation outside.
I also covet the farmland near Chang'an.In any case, Zhong Yao is a good hand in governing. Chang'an is well governed. If he can get it, it is tantamount to gaining Zhong Yao's position in Guanzhong. Swallowing a large army is enough to deter the heroes of Guanzhong.
In this way, another firm step has been taken towards the unification of the Han Dynasty.
"Da da da."
At this moment, a sound of horseshoes sounded.Yiji's expression changed, and he lowered the curtain.In front, Zhang Heng also let go of the thoughts in his heart, stopped the horse and looked up, and the army behind Zhang Heng also stopped immediately.
"But General Zhang Heng is in front." Under Zhang Heng's attention, several fast horses appeared, and the knights on the horses roared.
"It's Zhang Heng, who are they?" Zhang Heng clasped his fists very politely.
"We are the soldiers under Mr. Zhong's account, and we are here to lure General Zhang into the camp." Among the knights, the leader raised his fist and said.
"It's time to work." Zhang Heng heard the words and naturally had no objection, raised his fist and said.Immediately afterwards, the group turned around, and under the guidance of this group of knights, they arrived near Chang'an, outside a large camp.
The big camp is relatively simple, and Zhang Heng can tell at a glance that this big camp has not been built for a long time.At the gate of the camp, a group of people and horses were welcoming them.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng quickly got off his horse and went up to meet him.The first thing he saw was Sima Yi, and he saw Sima Yi stand tall, with a group of soldiers lined up behind him, like stars supporting the moon.
Zhang Heng still remembers Sima Yi's role in the Chang'an League, and Zhang Heng is also a little afraid of Sima Yi.But Zhang Heng also knew that the more he feared Sima Yi, the more he had to remain calm, otherwise he would die without a place to bury him if his feet were exposed.Thinking about it, Zhang Heng took a few steps forward, bowed to Sima Yi and said, "I met Mr. Sima."
"General Zhang is in trouble." Sima Yi waved his hand quickly when he heard the words, and said.
"After that day, I don't want to see the general again, but it's a pity under the current situation." Immediately afterwards, Sima Yi sighed and said.

"Please, sir, make the decision for me and avenge my blood." Zhang Heng bowed deeply to Sima Yi with tears in his eyes when he heard the words.Zhang Heng is just a person who has experienced the deceitfulness of the princes. This scene was full of tears, and even Sima Yi didn't see it.
"Don't worry, general, since this time the alliance is dominated by Wei, Master Zhong will definitely make Cheng Yin pay the price for handling this matter." Sima Yi helped Zhang Heng up again, and said solemnly.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir."
Zhang Heng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and bowed down.
"The general will arrange the soldiers and family members first, and then follow me to see the Lord." Sima Yi also felt that it was almost done, so he said.
"Promise." Zhang Heng promised, and immediately went down to make arrangements.The army took advantage of the opportunity to enter the camp, and their families and clans also entered.Immediately, Zhang Heng entered Chang'an with Sima Yi and met Zhong Yao.
Zhong Yao wanted Zhang Heng's soldiers and horses, and Zhang Heng planned to rebel against Zhong Yao. Naturally, the two hit it off, and even Zhang Heng took the initiative to ask the clan and family members to move into the city.
Zhang Heng left only his two elder sons to help out in the camp.It can be said that the conversation between the two sides went very, very smoothly.Immediately, Sima Yi was responsible for sending Zhang Heng away, and sent someone to pick up Zhang Heng's family and enter the city.
In Sili Xiaowei's mansion, Sima Yi had just sent Zhang Heng away and returned to the hall.I saw Zhong Yao kneeling and sitting in the first place, with a complicated expression on his face, including surprise, joy, and doubt.Sima Yi was not surprised to see this, because he also had such doubts.
"Zhongda, although this old man wanted to seize Zhang Heng's soldiers and horses, he didn't expect that Zhang Heng would take the initiative to send his family members here. This is showing his heart to the old man. This proves that Zhang Heng is determined to submit The old man is gone, which makes the old man happy. But the problem is that it went so smoothly, and the old man is afraid that there will be some secrets in it." Seeing Sima Yi walk in, Zhong Yao smiled wryly and said.
"This is the so-called longing before you get it, and being suspicious after you get it." Zhong Yao then laughed at himself without waiting for Sima Yi's answer.
"It's not that the adults are suspicious. I also have some doubts in my heart. I'm afraid that this matter will not be simple. However, I can't tell for a while." After hearing the words, Sima Yi pondered for a while, showing a dignified expression, and said.
