Yiyang is located in Huaixi, with Shouchun to the east, Xuchang to the north and Nanyang to the west.

Sun Hao did not raise the army temporarily. After he succeeded to the throne, he sent Dahonglu, Zhang Yan, and Ding Zhong, a general with five senses, to visit the Central Plains many times. Sima Zhao was obedient when he was there, but Sima Zhao died suddenly. Sima Yan had just taken power, and Sun Hao

Hao felt that an opportunity had come.

Then Zhang Yan and Ding Zhong were sent to Luoyang to express condolences to Sima Zhao and secretly observe the situation.

Zhang Yan died of illness on the way, and Ding Zhong received a treasure tripod. There was a map in the tripod, marking the route from Yiyang to Xuchang, Wancheng, and Luoyang, as well as the troop deployment plan.

Sun Hao was overjoyed and immediately changed the Yuan Baoding.

Ding Zhong strongly encouraged Sun Hao to send troops, "Sima Yan is busy proclaiming himself emperor, the north is unprepared, Yi Yang is the best choice!"

General Liu Zuan of Chariots and Cavalry admonished: "Countries have always struggled for hegemony, but now there is a gap. How can we abandon it?"

There are such big flaws in the north, how can Soochow give up the opportunity?

At this time, news suddenly spread in Jianye that in order to proclaim himself emperor, Ma Yan was about to lead a large army to attack Wu.

Huainan Zhonghui also seemed to have the intention of sending troops to attack the Central Plains together. He sent envoys to make friends with the wealthy families and famous people in Jiangdong, and he also fell in love with them and sent Sun Hao beautiful women, treasures, and Pu Tao wine from the Western Regions.

Sun Hao was a hungry ghost in his eyes and a madman in his drunkenness. He was overjoyed and made a secret promise to Zhong Hui.

Only the right chief minister Martin advised him not to remonstrate. Yiyang was far away from Jianghuai and was in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Even if he was lucky enough to win it, he would definitely not be able to hold it. Sima Yan's attack on Jiangdong was false, but his attack on Huainan was real. Why should Jiangdong take the initiative to fight for Zhong Hui?

This knife?

However, since ancient times, good advice has been unpopular, and Sun Hao was on the rise. Last year, he attacked Hefei Xincheng and made him disgraced. This made Sun Hao lose his face.

"If your Majesty really wants to send troops, why bother to attack Yiyang? The top choice is Xincheng, the second is Xiangyang, taking advantage of Jianghan and watching over Nanyang, and the bottom is Yiyang!" Ding Feng was still making the final effort, "Our army

If we attack Xincheng, Sima Yan will definitely send troops to Shouchun, and Zhonghui will be destroyed!"

During the Northern Expedition of Soochow, no troops were sent from Yiyang.

Attacking from here is tantamount to taking risks.

In Ding Feng's opinion, it would be better to attack Zhonghui.

Sun Hao was confused by the beauty sent by Zhong Hui. He was thinking about Zhong Hui's good deeds and of course he did not want to attack Zhong Hui.

The last New Castle War also left a psychological shadow on him, and this time he said he didn't want to go there again.

"Don't say too much, sir!" Sun Hao rejected Ding Feng with an unkind expression. At the same time, he ordered Shi Ji to pretend to attack Xiangyang on foot and divide the forces in the Central Plains.

The monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong stared at the Central Plains, and the monarchs and ministers of the Central Plains also stared at Jiangdong.

Sima Yan was so angry with Sun Hao that instead of looking for trouble with him, he first looked for trouble with himself.

However, in the two years since he took the throne, Sun Hao was addicted to drinking and sex, and was cruel and easy to kill.

He ordered the selection of daughters of ministers with two thousand stones to enter the palace. There were thousands of people in the harem, and the selection never stopped. Sometimes Xie Cheng's granddaughter, Xie Xiannu, burned her face and drank alcohol, and became sallow and thin, so as to avoid entering the palace as a concubine.

Sun Hao hated others looking directly at him, thinking it was disrespectful to him. When the courtiers came to see him, no one dared to raise their heads.

Every time there is a banquet for the officials, the guests must drink at least seven liters of wine, which is called the "drinking test". Those who fail to pass the test will be whipped, have their eyes and feet cut off, or beheaded...

All kinds of atrocities shocked the emperor and ministers of Luoyang.

Sima Yan became determined in his determination to attack Wu.

Shi Bao offered advice: "Sun Hao pretends to attack Xiangyang and actually captures Yiyang. Your Majesty, you might as well pretend to defend Yiyang and actually capture Jiangling. If Jiangling is defeated, our army will completely occupy the power of Jianghan and go straight down to Jiangdong, then Dongwu will be conquered."

Destructible!"

Trading Yiyang for Jiangling is a great deal.

And Sun Hao may not be able to capture Yiyang.

In this Northern Expedition, there was not a single important general. Although Liu Zuan was also a veteran general, he did not have many achievements.

"This is a great idea!" Sima Yan immediately adopted it.

If Jiangling is captured and Jingxiang is integrated into one, the end of Jiangdong will come.

"So who will defend Yiyang and who will attack Jiangling?" Jia Chong asked the key point.

There are too many doorways here.

Jiangling is not that easy to fight. Shi Ji's offense is not enough, but his defense is more than enough.

For more than ten years, it has resisted many attacks by Wang Chang, Zhou Tai, Wang Ji and others.

Soochow Wu was heavily fortified in Jiangling, and there was also heavily fortified Xiling in the south, forming the horns of each other.

There is no doubt that this is a tough nut.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Shi Bao coughed and said, "I am willing to fight for the king!"

Without military power in hand, Shi Bao always felt a chill on his neck.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your sons.

The other gentry clans all had cities, land and soldiers, but the Shi family was naked. They only had gold and silver that could rival other countries. The more money they had, the more people they cared about.

Sima Yan's eyes flickered. Although he was only twenty-eight years old, his power plans and city government were not under his father's control, and he was extremely cautious about military power.

Shi Bao is almost 70 this year. What if something goes wrong along the way...

But there are not many handsome people around Sima Yan.

Sima Nian, Sima Liang, and Sima Ban are all mediocre people. The only one the Sima family can use is Sima Jun, but Sima Jun is guarding Xuchang and can't get away. Moreover, Sima Jun has a very close relationship with Sima You and has never been affected by Sima Yan.

See you soon.

Originally, Sima Yan wanted Jia Chong to fight.

But Jia Chong was evasive.

Naturally, smart people would not want to fight in such a fierce battle, and Sima Yan would not be able to force it.

"The war opportunity is fleeting. I only lead 30,000 elite soldiers. They travel day and night and secretly enter Xiangyang. With a sudden attack from Wang Yi, Shi Ji will be defeated. Jiangling can be obtained!" Shi Bao was very determined.

Jia Chongyin said calmly: "Shi Jibu Xie is a general who has fought in hundreds of battles. Although he is mediocre, he also knows how to fight. Shi Gong has not been in battle for many years..."

Old Shi Bao's face turned red, "If I don't break my performance, I will stick to the agreement, and I will kill myself to thank the king!"

"Shi Gong is really the pillar of my family!" Sima Yan said with a moved expression on his face. Thirty thousand Chinese troops are still acceptable.

Now Luoyang is not short of these 30,000 troops.

If anything goes wrong, Shi Bao will save his own life.

"I recommend one person to be the vanguard." Shi Bao was not a reckless man. He knew his own disadvantages and needed a strong man to lead the way.

"Shi Gong just said it doesn't matter."

"Hongnong Prefect Wang Jun's tent supervisor Yan Xun."

Yan Xun is from Nanpi, Bohai, Hebei, and Shi Bao is a fellow villager. It is reasonable and reasonable for the fellow villagers to recommend him.

Of course, Sima Yan would not refuse this request, "But from Shi Gong's request, 30,000 people are too few. We can add another 10,000, and the Luoyang Central Army can choose at will."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Bao was overjoyed.

After being a loyal dog for so many years, it finally paid off.

Jia Chong glanced at Shi Bao, who was beaming with joy, and said, "In that case, please go to Xuchang in person to fight against Sun Hao!"

Yiyang is located at the junction of various towns. When Sun Hao attacked this place, he simply threw himself into a trap.

Sima Yan said happily: "Yes!"

"If your Majesty wants to invade Soochow, Huainan cannot be ignored!" At the critical moment, Wang Ye, the servant, spoke up.

He found that everyone was avoiding Huainan intentionally or unintentionally.

Originally, the best way to establish his power was to attack Huainan. Zhong Hui was beaten to a half-breath last year. If he sends troops this time, Zhong Hui will surely die.

But the strange thing is that everyone seems to have forgotten his existence.

Wang Ye was born in a poor family and had little understanding of the tacit understanding between noble clans. He vaguely guessed that there was someone behind Zhong Hui, but in order to curry favor with Sima Yan, he still spoke out.

Wang Shen, who betrayed Cao Mao with him, was promoted to the governor of Yangzhou. Even after the defeat, his family was saved, but he was not demoted and was only demoted to the governor of Qingzhou.

But after Wang Ye became a marquis, there was nothing...

This kind of treatment naturally made him a little anxious, and he worked harder to please Sima Yan.

Jia Chong, Shi Bao, and Xun Xu all stared at this young and bold junior with strange eyes.

Now that the window paper had been pierced, Sima Yan had to respond, "Then let Lu Qin station troops in Xuzhou and transfer Anton general Sima Jun to be the governor of Huaibei to contain Zhong Hui."
