Chapter 712 Drastic changes

On the fourteenth day of the seventh month in the second year of Huangwu, the battle between Jin and Wu took place in Hefei.

Wu Jun took the lead in launching an assault, but Sima Yan's foothold was not stable and there were many casualties.

Sima Jun, Lu Qin, and Wang Yi attacked together and were able to hold off the Wu army's front.

The two armies fought fiercely at Feishui River. Although the Jin army was outnumbered, the Wu army was sharp and had a vague advantage with its naval force.

Ding Feng led the battlefield and ran rampant in Feishui, responding to Sun Hao on the shore.

At the difficult moment, Wu Da Si Martin's boat suddenly capsized and he was buried in Feishui.

The morale of the Wu army dropped sharply, and the Jin army attacked fiercely.

Shi Bao ordered Xiao generals Yan Xun and Qian Hong to each lead 10,000 elites into the battlefield and split the Wu army in half. Sun Hao was once again trapped in a tight siege, but this time he was not so easy to escape against the Jin army's elite.

They broke through repeatedly, but were all blocked back.

Above the Fei River, corpses blocked the river channel and the river water turned into blood.

Soldiers could cross the river on floating corpses.

Zhuge Liang, Ding Wen and others rescued them desperately, but Yan Xun and Qian Hong repelled them.

Sima Jun and Lu Qin led their troops south and completely surrounded Sun Hao.

Sun Hao fought fiercely for several days and was unable to escape, so he followed Ding Gu's advice and surrendered to Sima Yan with his body exposed and his face tied, holding a bib and leading a sheep.

Sun Hao's biological mother and concubines were all captured by the Jin army.

Ding Gu brandished a knife and killed himself to apologize. Zhuge Liang and Ding Wen fled back to Jiangdong.

Sima Yan ordered him to issue an edict to persuade all armies to surrender. From Hefei to Dongguan, Wu armies surrendered one after another.

The Jin army easily entered Dongguan.

Sima Yan was still frightened and originally planned to stop. Although he defeated Sun Hao, the Jin army also suffered heavy casualties.

Jia Chong advised: "The people of Wu are panicking. Your Majesty can support Sun Hao to join the establishment of the industry. Eternal achievements are at hand!"

Sima Jun also advised, "The Wu people have lost their courage and should not be allowed to breathe. If Jianye establishes a new king, with veteran generals such as Lu Kang outside and famous ministers such as Meng Zong and Lu Kai inside, the country's strength will be restored in a few years."

"

Sima Yan followed his words, and the army marched southward to Ruxushui.

Jiangdong was frightened, and talk of national subjugation was rampant. Some nobles and common people moved their families to Lingnan.

Jingzhou Lu Kang ordered Zuo Yi and Wu Yan to rush to aid with an army of 20,000. Xiakou governor Teng Mu, Chaisang governor Wu Yan, Cangwu prefect Tao Huang and other troops rushed to aid Jianye.

However, distant water cannot quench near thirst.

There was even a proposal to move the capital in Jianye City, in order to temporarily avoid the attack of the Jin army and wait for the armies to converge before counterattacking Jianye.

Some people think that Jiangdong cannot be defended, and even Sun Hao surrendered. It is better to surrender to Jin without losing wealth.

Jiangdong is a doomsday scene.

The chaos in people's hearts completely exceeded Lu Kai's expectations.

"At this time, the prince should be made emperor to stabilize people's hearts!" Meng Ren made a decision immediately.

Lu Kai's favorite candidate was Sun Xiu, the third son of Sun Xiu, Prince of Liang.

Sun Xiu's crown prince was killed by Sun Hao, which also led Lu Kai to want to establish Sun Xiu's descendants, but lacked legitimacy.

Lu Kai said: "The prince is young, can he continue the reign?"

Sun Hao was defeated and captured, which had an immeasurable impact on the people of Wu.

Even though he was a tyrant and a coward, he was still the orthodoxy of Jiangdong.

Meng Ren was promoted by Lu Xun, so he should have been on Lu Kai's side, but he was more loyal to Jiangdong Sheji.

"If the Prime Minister established Liang Wang, why should he treat Zhong Shiji?"

Meng Ren reminded Lu Kai with a word.

Zhong Hui has a close relationship with the prince. What would he think if he had a grandson?

It doesn't really matter who he chooses, but if Lu Kai did this, he would be disrespecting Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui is not Ding Feng, he will give up on his words.

Once Zhong Hui is dissatisfied, the 40,000 elite men under his command will immediately return to Jianye!

At this time, the empty Jianye had no ability to resist.

Zhong Hui was able to cook the raw rice into cooked rice before Lu Kang arrived.

"Hurry up to welcome the crown prince!" Lu Kai suddenly felt that he was completely at a disadvantage in the struggle with Zhong Hui...

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Kai is not very ambitious and knows very well that he cannot be Sima Yi or Zhuge Liang.

The only demand is to maintain the structure of Jiangdong as much as possible without harming the interests of the Lu family.

Sun Hao once asked Lu Kai, "How many people are there in your dynasty?"

Lu Kai replied: "Two prime ministers, five princes, and more than ten generals."

Jiangdong has the story of Gan Ning's luxury and Lu Kai's prosperity.

In the eyes of many nobles, the interests of the family are of course higher than those of the country.

Wetting mouth.

The Jin army came like a tide, their banners covered the Ruxu waterway, their armor filled the mountains and fields, and their swords and spears were as endless as reeds.

Its momentum is as strong as when Sima Yi swept through Liaodong.

After the baptism of this battle, many Jin troops who were not elites became elites.

Sima Yan was even more energetic than ever before.

His achievements have surpassed those of his father's generation.

"Listen to the Wu army in the city. Those who obey the heaven will prosper, and those who defy the heaven will perish. Jiangdong has become the land of Jin. Those who surrender will not lose the reward of the title. Those who resist the king's division will be destroyed by the three tribes!"

Hundreds of cavalrymen galloped back and forth under the city.

Zhong Hui was calm and composed on the tower, and the defenders inside the city were also calm and composed.

There are not 40,000 troops in Ruxu City, but more than 80,000!

After collecting the defeated troops in Hefei, Zhong Hui rapidly grew in strength and became the most powerful force in Soochow.

Even Lu Kang, who was stationed in Jingzhou, was far inferior at this time.

After a national crisis, there must be a feast.

"Back then, Sun Hao promised to divide Soochow equally. The current situation is exactly what he said! Just leave this city to my children to garrison. Why don't my father lead the army back to Jianye? The great cause is just around the corner!" Zhong Yi, who has always been calm, said:

I couldn't help but get excited.

He didn't know what Zhong Hui had done specifically, but he knew that this war was developing in the direction that was most beneficial to the Zhong family.

Looking at Jiangdong, Zhong Hui is already the only force that can resist Sima Yan's advance.

Jiang Bin and Jiang Shu also had fire flashing in their eyes.

If they had doubts about Zhong Hui before, now they are totally convinced.

After encountering desperate situations again and again, Jiang Dong was about to fall into his pocket.

Zhong Hui shook his head and said: "Knowing the male and guarding the female is the way of the world. Knowing the white and guarding the black is the way of the world. If we fight with swords and soldiers, when the Wu army was defeated at Yiyang, someone could take Sun Hao and kill him.

The reason why I ordered Jiangdong not to do it is because of the people's hearts! I will try to turn the tide in this battle, who else in Jiangdong can stop me?"

Jiang Bin and Zhong Yi were both amazed.

What Zhong Hui wants to fight for is not weapons, but hearts and minds.

After so many years of planning ahead, the results are remarkable.

Sometimes Zhong Hui himself felt that he had the potential to become Zhuge Wuhou.

It is a pity that there is no monarch like Liu Chan in Jiangdong.

"Listen to the defenders on the city. Your lord, Sun Hao, has surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. Surrender quickly, otherwise no chickens or dogs will be left when the city is broken!"

The people in the city were clamoring again.

Zhong Hui laughed loudly, "Sima Xiao'er is so arrogant, come here and set up my banner!"

On Ruxu City, a large flag with the word "bell" was erected.

This word seemed to have some kind of magic power. After it was erected, the cavalry horses under the city suddenly neighed in fright.

The arrogance of the Jin army was suppressed.

Zhong Hui stood in front of the city tower with his hands behind his hands, shouting in victory: "An Shi, my nephew, are you okay?"

Thousands of soldiers also shouted: "My nephew An Shi, are you okay?"

The roar went straight into the sky...
