: Competition (3)

"As expected of Lu Youjie!" Zhong Hui closed the battle report, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, closed his eyes, and looked intoxicated.

This move made Zhong Yi next to him get lumps all over his body, and he coughed twice, "Father..."

I can't say the word "self-respect" at the end.

Zhong Hui opened his eyes and said, "The battle of Xiling bought Jiangdong at least ten years, and also bought opportunities for you and my father and son."

Zhong Yi was puzzled, "Why did father say this?"

Zhong Hui smiled slyly and stretched out his hand to flap his wings, "Your Majesty is young and energetic. With such a great victory, wouldn't you jump to your feet?"

A headstrong person will always aim high.

Sun Hao would jump into the sky when he was fine. Now that Xiling has won a great victory and the crisis in the west is over, how can he remain indifferent?

Yiyang was defeated miserably, and Sun Hao was almost captured alive by Jia Chong. He always remembered it in his heart as a great shame and humiliation in his life, and he often wanted to personally lead his troops to avenge his hatred.

Zhong Hui was a close minister of Sun Hao, so he knew what he was thinking.

"Do you know why my father gave up Shouchun and stayed in Hefei?"

"My son is stupid." Zhong Yi is not bad at intelligence. He knows more or less what Zhong Hui means, but he deliberately does not make it clear to give Zhong Hui room to express himself.

With such a father, it is not a good thing for a son to be too smart.

What's more, Zhong Yi is just Zhong Hui's adopted son.

But it's not smart, and it's not a good thing.

The first adopted son Zhong Yong was given to Sima Zhao as a hostage.

Zhong Yi was also abandoned by Zhong Hui in Shouchun.

He was almost captured and killed by Yang Hu, but he managed to break out of the siege by risking his own life.

"Whoever wins Long will definitely look forward to Shu! Whoever wins Hefei will definitely look forward to longevity and spring!" Zhong Hui said proudly.

"Father, you want to follow Sima Yi's old deeds in Yongliang? Support your troops and respect yourself?"

The most worthy commanders in the state of Wu are Ding Feng and Lu Kang.

But Ding Feng was already old, and Sun Hao was not at ease with him. After all, his reputation in the Wu Kingdom was too high. It would be easy for him to change his clan to sit on the throne with just a raise of his arms.

Lu Kang supervised Jingzhou and could not attack Shouchun again.

So the best candidate can only be Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui was originally the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Huaibei. He knew himself and his enemy.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Hui shook his head and said, "You are half right. As a father, I do want to imitate Sima Yi, but I do not want to imitate him in supporting soldiers and respecting myself."

Zhong Yi's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly thought that since Zhong Hui entered Jiangdong, hasn't he been imitating Sima Yi in every step?

Get along with the Jiangdong nobles and make secret friendships.

Write articles to accumulate reputation, attract disciples, and secretly recruit dead soldiers...

There are so many things that Sima Yi can imitate, he is simply a model for careerists...

Zhong Hui just needs to copy it.

In fact, this is exactly what Zhong Hui did.

Step by step, the vigilance of the Jiangdong nobles was lowered.

His articles established himself as a model of loyalty to the emperor and the country, and established many characters.

"My father's reputation in Jiangdong is growing day by day, but the Zhong family has no foundation in Jiangdong after all, so we should slowly try to make it happen." Zhong Yi has a steady temperament and inherited Zhong Yu's advantages.

It would also be good for the Zhong family to spread its branches in Jiangdong.

But Zhong Hui's ambition is by no means limited to this. He shook his head and said, "No, the unification of the world is the general trend. There is no time to figure it out. My father's lifelong ambition is to drive hundreds of thousands of soldiers to sweep the world and fight with the world."

How can it be possible for a group of heroes to compete for supremacy and remain depressed for a long time under Huangkou Zhuzi?"

Zhong Yi arched his hands.

Just as Zhong Hui expected.

After the Battle of Xiling, Sun Hao was all flying.

He believed that his civil and military skills were far superior to those of previous generations.

Sun Hao was extremely superstitious and often used fortune, fortune telling, divination, prophecies and the like to determine national affairs.

After the great victory in Xiling, Shang Guang was asked to divine the fate of the world.

Of course, the diviner followed his wishes and made a random prediction, interpreting it with "Yi" in "Tong Ren", "Ji, in the year of Gengzi, Qing Gai will enter Luoyang."

Sun Hao was overjoyed, thinking that he would take control of Luoyang and reward the fortune teller heavily.

At this time, there was auspiciousness in Poyang, and the stone texture of Liyang Mountain was naturally written with a total of twenty crosses: "Chu Jiuzhou Zhu, Wu Jiuzhou Du, Yangzhou Shi, became the emperor, the fourth generation ruled, and peace began."

This obviously means that Sun Hao wants to dominate the world.

The wild horse in my heart could no longer be tethered, so I wanted to spy on Qin and Jin.

However, the Qin State is too far away. Looking at the surrounding areas, Xiangyang cannot be attacked. The Jin State has accumulated heavy troops in Xiangyang and Xinye, making it difficult to achieve success.

Going north from Wuchang, Yiyang suffered another defeat.

So it can only be Shouchun.

Sun Hao felt itchy when he thought of Shouchun. The temptation of taking Shouchun and occupying the Huai River was too great.

Whatever comes to mind, Sun Hao has always acted vigorously and resolutely.

The courtiers were all afraid of being killed by him and did not dare to speak.

It happened that Ding Feng was in Jingzhou and had not yet returned to court.

Just when Sun Hao was getting excited, Zhong Hui spoke, "I think it is impossible. Although the general of the town army defeated the Jin army, our army also suffered heavy losses. The soldiers were tired of fighting and the people were suffering. At this time, we should comfort the people and persuade them to

Study farming and cultivate mulberry trees, cultivate national strength, and wait for the future war between the East and the West. Your Majesty will lead the army northward, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

After killing so many ministers, there are not many people who dare to remonstrate directly.

Even Lu Kai is wise enough to protect himself.

Zhong Hui's status in everyone's hearts has once again risen.

Sun Hao said displeasedly: "I already know the meaning of my love for you. However, at this time, the morale of our army is strong. Shouchun has experienced many battles without rest. The energy of the Jin army is in Jingzhou. If we send troops at this time, we will definitely defeat the northerners."

Caught off guard."

Zhong Hui suddenly grabbed the ground with his head and kowtowed, "I have no choice but to meet your majesty in order to find a place to stay. I will repay you with my life by dying. My loyal words are like a lump in my throat and I will not spit them out quickly. The Central Plains are strong and powerful, and Jiangdong is empty."

tired, with

If a small country invades a large country, victory will not be enough to gain its benefits. If it loses, it will be in danger of overthrow.

You can compete with the world."

With a "click" sound, the wooden board in the hall was smashed by Zhong Hui's head.

But sawdust also penetrated his forehead, causing blood to flow profusely.

The palace was quiet and anxious.

Zhong Hui's crazy self-mutilation shocked everyone.

People who used to doubt Zhong Hui now admire him.

Thinking about it, the Zhong family has no roots in Jiangdong, and Zhong Hui's tribe remains in Chaisang, which poses little threat to Jiangdong.

His words are also the thoughts in the hearts of many soldiers. We Jiangdong can just stay on our own land with peace of mind. Why are we messing around?

Since the founding of Soochow, of all the people who have struggled, from Sun Ce to Sun Quan, Zhuge Ke, Sun Wei, etc., which one has succeeded?

Unknowingly, Zhong Hui became the spokesperson of the Jiangdong gentry.

Sun Hao was also startled by Zhong Hui at first. He felt that it was inexplicable. Why should he be so desperate?

But then he realized the meaning behind his words, "If we go by what Prime Minister You said, wouldn't I have to wait twenty years? Wouldn't it be a waste of time waiting?"

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Within twenty years, Jiangdongfang will compete with the Northern Kingdom for national power in the world!" Zhong Hui was ready to knock a few more times, but when he saw the upturned wooden thorns, he felt horrified. Acting is acting, but it is not worth risking his life.

.

Everything should be done in moderation.

"I can't wait any longer!" Sun Hao stood up from his throne and shouted at the ministers.

"The war in Jingzhou has just ended. How can we raise troops at this time? Your Majesty might as well wait until the general returns to court before making a decision." Finally, Sikong Mengren couldn't stand it anymore and came up with a strategy to slow down the troops.

Meng Ren was a veteran of the Four Dynasties. His original name was Meng Zong, and Sun Hao was named Yuan Zong. He changed his name to Meng Ren to avoid taboos. He was one of the great filial sons of the Three Kingdoms. He was appreciated by the then Prime Minister Lu Xun and gradually entered the central government.

"Retreat!" Sun Hao gave Zhong Hui a hard look.

The bell will touch the ground with its head.
