"I heard that the king is attacking Sun Hao, and I have brought 40,000 elite troops to help. If Sun Hao can be captured alive, Jiangdong can be conquered, and the world can be settled. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The long-cherished wish of the king's father and ancestors for three generations will also be realized by the king. I am very grateful to you.

The king's loyalty can be demonstrated every day..."

After reading Zhong Hui's letter, Sima Yan turned to Xun Xu and asked, "What does Zhong Hui want?"

There is more or less a sense of reproach in the words.

Zhong Hui's behavior broke the tacit understanding between the Yingchuan gentry and the Sima family.

Just as Zhong Hui doesn't believe Sima Yan's promise, Sima Yan certainly doesn't believe Zhong Hui's promise either.

Jia Chong's malicious eyes also drifted towards Xun Xu.

The Xun family and the Zhong family are connected by the same blood, and the two families are married to each other and have a close relationship.

At that time, Zhong Yao was also recommended to Wei Wu by Xun Yu.

Chen Tai is also Xun Yu’s son-in-law...

"Zhong Hui has always been ambitious. He must have come here to take advantage of the fact that both the king and Soochow are harmed, so that he can reap the benefits!" Xun Xu cupped his hands and said with a calm expression.

"Mr. Xun was truly selfless!" Jia Chong said, neither yin nor yang.

Sima Yan's eyes became kinder. The Xun family and the Zhong family were related by marriage, but the Xun family and the Sima family were also related by marriage.

When Zhong Hui went to Guanzhong, Xun Xu warned Zhong Hui that he would rebel, but Sima Zhao did not accept his words.

Moreover, Xun Xu and Zhong Hui were not on good terms, and everyone in Luoyang and Yingchuan knew about it.

There is no need for Mr. Xun to side with Zhong Hui, who is at the end of his rope.

"The arrival of Zhong Hui is exactly what I want. Huaixi and Huainan can be decided in one battle!" Sima Yan said ambitiously.

With 150,000 troops in hand and fighting inside the country, the advantage is too great.

"What the king said is true. The thief Zhong Hui has always been bold and reckless. Now he has come to seek death. The king just gave him a ride!" Jia Chong twisted his beard and laughed.

"I ordered Sima Ban to send another 50,000 Chinese troops. I want to see how Zhong Hui can escape death this time!"

If there hadn't been that letter from Yingchuan, Zhong Hui's head would have been hanging above the gate of Luoyang City.

Now Sima Yan has gradually gained power.

There are minions such as Shi Bao, Jia Chong, and He Zeng inside, and support from Bingzhou, Shandong, and Hebei gentry outside. The Yingchuan gentry is no longer as dominant as it was in the past.

The Sima family is bound to the gentry, not by the gentry.

Sima Yan has never forgotten this.

Since Sima Yan succeeded to the throne, his political talents have been even greater than those of his father.

The original land-occupancy system and the five-level nobility system were the result of discussions between Sima Yan and his advisers.

Under Yiyang City.

When Sun Hao heard that Zhong Hui had raised troops, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Heaven will help me achieve my great cause!"

In recent years, Zhong Hui has fought in the east and west, and his strategy has made him famous throughout the world.

He is the only one who can take advantage of the Qin army.

Shouchun was able to escape from the situation of certain death, which made people all over the world look at him with admiration.

Zhong Hui's letter was also extremely humble, "The Central Plains is full of twilight, and only His Majesty's spirit can defeat it in one battle. Sima Yan claims to have an army of 300,000 people, but from what I will see, it is only a rabble of 100,000 people! Feng Sa fights,

The elite of the Chinese army died in a battle, and the fate of the Sima family was also destroyed. Now they are just dead bones in the grave. It is time for the world to go to Jiangdong. I will be lucky for the rest of my life. I am willing to follow your majesty and defeat the Sima family..."

The flattering Sun Hao is pleasing to the eye.

"The celebrities from the Central Plains are indeed very talented in literature, haha..." Sun Hao laughed wildly.

Chariot and Cavalry General Liu Zuan said: "Zhong Hui is a traitor. He must have no good intentions here. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Teng Mu also advised Sun Hao, "Zhong Hui has always been ambitious and is like a viper. The Sima family is still afraid of three points. Your Majesty goes deep into the enemy's territory and cannot be trusted easily."

Sun Hao said displeasedly: "Am I just a three-year-old child? You only know one, but not the other. Our army goes deep alone, with Sima Yan in the north, Shi Bao in the west, and Sima Liang in the south. Although Zhong Hui has no good intentions,

, but it can divide Sima Yan's power, he will not sit back and watch Sima Yan attack me, Sima Yan will also be concerned about Zhong Hui, this is our army's opportunity to fight!"

Zhong Hui wanted to take advantage of Sun Hao, and Sun Hao also wanted to take advantage of Zhong Hui.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing him say this, the two of them felt relieved.

Sun Hao was greedy for wine and sex, cruel and easy to kill, but he was not really stupid.

At least you know who can and cannot be killed.

Zhang Bu and Puyang Xing formed factions with each other for personal gain, and the people of Wu were greatly disappointed.

Sun Haoyi and his three clans did not arouse many people's resentment.

As for gouging out people's eyes and cutting off their limbs, they are all servants and officials from poor families with no foundation.

As long as the powerful nobles do not stop, Sun Hao's position as emperor will still be stable.

A few days ago, Sun Hao was promoted to Lukang as the general of the town army. He was the commander-in-chief of Xiling, Xinling, Yidao, Lexiang, and Gong'an. He was stationed in Lexiang (today's southwest of Jiangling, Hubei) and led Yizhou pastoralists in the distance.

As a result, Lu Kang surpassed Bu Xie, and his status in the Wu Kingdom was second only to the right chief minister Ming Feng and the left chief minister Ma Shi Ji.

The real power he holds is not under Shi Ji, who is sitting in Jiangling.

However, Lu Kang's reply made Sun Hao very unhappy.

The letter advised Sun Hao to return to Jianye. Sima Yan killed his father and succeeded to the throne. He was planning to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Why bother to get involved and let others beat him?

If Soochow fails to advance, Sima Yan will definitely attack Huainan.

It's not too late to take action by then.

However, Lu Kang's suggestion was obviously not in line with Sun Hao's character.

Sun Hao, like Sima Yan, was eager to make achievements and prove himself, so Lu Kang's letter was ignored.

"Command the troops to attack Yiyang today!" Sun Hao suddenly drew his sword and roared.

The blade of the sword was swaying everywhere, with cold light flashing and dark wind blowing.

Liu Zuan and Teng Mu were frightened and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Although this Lord knows what can be killed and who cannot be killed, there is a contingency for everything, right?

If the sword edge scratches his neck, things will not go well.

It was like this at banquets in the past. The maid glanced at him twice, then drew a sword and stabbed the maid to death while talking and laughing...

The scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Not only Liu Zuan, Teng Mu and other ministers, but also the surrounding guards took a step back.

Sun Hao took chicken blood and turned it into dog blood.

No one responded.

With a snap, Sun Hao's face sank, and his eyes gradually became violent.

Teng Mu quickly raised his arms and shouted, "For your majesty, even if we are shattered to pieces, we will attack Yiyang!"

"Attack, attack Yiyang!" Others also reacted and shouted one after another.

Sun Hao's face looked better now.

There was an emperor who was like a mad dog, and the Wu army also became like a mad dog and rushed towards Yiyang City crazily.

Liu Zuan personally led the army, and Sun Hao, the commander of the army with his sword, followed behind.

Yiyang was not a fortified city, with only six or seven thousand defenders and no generals. It was besieged by one hundred thousand Wu troops for half a month. Because Sima Yan was in Ancheng and boasted an army of three hundred thousand, the soldiers and civilians in the city decided to defend it to the death.

However, the soldiers and civilians in the city were willing to be loyal to Sima Yan, but Sima Yan had little interest in a small Yiyang.

This place was originally where Sun Hao was abandoned, leading Sun Hao to continue his journey north.

Four or five groups of envoys were sent out to ask for help, but Sima Yan kept his troops stationary.

Reinforcements did not come for a long time, Yiyang's oil and lamps ran out, and Liu Zuan attacked the city.

Yiyang then fell into the hands of Soochow.

However, this is only the beginning of this war.
Chapter completed!
