Although they returned to Jiangxia, nearly 10,000 people died of freezing and starvation, and countless more suffered frostbite.

The cold in winter was particularly harmful to Wu Jun.

People who live in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River have never experienced the bitter cold in the north.

This winter has also made Zhong Hui sober up.

It seems that Jiangdong is not enough to support his ambition. This is still Xuchang. If it is Hebei or Yongliang, wouldn't the Wu army be unable to move?

Fortunately, he captured most of Yuzhou, led tens of thousands of people to move south, and talented people from the Yingchuan noble clan defected, making Zhong Hui's strength even more powerful.

"The Prime Minister wants to compete with Yang Xingyun. I'm afraid the Wu people are unreliable." said Jia Chong, who came from Jianye.

The Jia clan was wiped out and all three clans were wiped out, leaving Jia Chong alone.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he lives, marries a few concubines and gives birth to a few sons, the Jia family's incense can continue to flourish.

When he first proposed to send an envoy to Wu State, he had already seen that Sima Yan would die and had been mentally prepared for it, so he didn't look very sad at this moment.

However, the people present were not so easy to fool. Jiang Bin retorted: "Huh, the Qin people have sharp cavalry and the Central Plains is vast. How can our army resist?"

The corners of Zhong Hui's lips turned up, half-smiling, "If you lobby the Guandong nobles, I will personally go out and do it myself. A certain Yingchuan disciple under your command will do it for you. However, there is indeed something urgent at the moment that needs to be done by Gonglu himself."

And Jia Chong's fate has reached the most critical moment.

This has been an unspoken rule and tacit understanding for two to three hundred years.

"Gentlemen!" Jia Chong stretched out two fingers.

"Therefore, I would like to ask Gonglu to go north to Yecheng and lobby Yang Xingyun to renew the alliance between the Qin and Wu families!" Zhong Huitu saw this with a cold look in his eyes.

After a long time, Zhong Hui laughed and said, "With the help of Gong Lu, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? If you and I work together, Yang Xingyun will definitely be no match."

Zhong Hui happened to be staring at Jia Chong, and knew what Jia Chong was thinking in an instant. The two were so familiar. They had known each other since childhood and had been fighting for so many years. The things behind every expression and sentence of Jia Chong could not be hidden.

Zhong Hui's eyes said, "There is no need for lobbyists. Yang Xingyun's envoys have arrived recently."

However, Zhong Hui didn't seem to mind and said with a smile: "Please get up, please get up, why bother?"

The eyes of other people in the palace became more and more unkind.

If Huo Yi had not chosen to join the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State would still be trapped in the turmoil in the south and unable to escape.

Jia Chong also laughed.

Both of them were from noble families, so of course they knew how powerful the Central Plains noble families were.

Zhong Hui rummaged through the desk, pulled out a bamboo slip, and threw it to Jia Chong.

Yongliang had been in chaos for more than a hundred years, and the noble clans were weak and powerful, and there were no decent noble clans in Shu. Even so, when the fields were first conquered, rebellions in the middle and southern parts of Shu also broke out one after another.

"Gonglu is indeed a rare wise man in the world!" Zhong Hui smiled while stroking his hands.

It turns out that all the effort in talking is just teasing.

The power of the nobles in Guandong is by no means comparable to that of Yongliang and Shuzhong.

"Qin has cavalry, and I have the help of the nobles. Although Qin destroyed Jin, the hearts of the people are not attached to it, and the people are hesitant. At this time, the Prime Minister took the initiative to contact the nobles of Guandong, but he is not talented enough. He is willing to go north as a lobbyist to help the Prime Minister!"

"Jia Chong's eyes flickered.

Jia Chong suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked at Zhong Hui in shock.

Of course, Jia Chong did not estimate their feelings, so he tried his best to say, "As far as the Guandong nobles are concerned, the Qin thieves are just barbarians. The Yang thieves, with 400,000 people, are stationed in Yecheng, intimidating both sides of the river, and the Guandong nobles dare not move.

However, the Qin thieves have been on an expedition for more than half a year, and sooner or later they will return to Guanzhong, and then there will be heroes who will rise up and resist the violent Qin!"

"There is no need to die hundreds of times. Although Qin and Wu are constantly at odds, they are allies after all. Yang Xingyun has gathered 400,000 troops in Yecheng and can go south to Xuchang at any time. Xuchang is the foundation of our family. We really don't want our elders in my hometown to die from Qin's weapons."

under."

There is no other reason. Jia Chong’s reputation is too loud...

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he even knelt down on one knee to Zhong Hui.

Jia Chong was overjoyed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and quickly turned into a look of emotion, "Chong, I got to meet Lord Ming today!"

After Jia Chong read the bamboo slips, his face turned pale for a while, and then turned angry, "The Yang thieves are too bully, and they will destroy my three tribes, and they won't let me go! From now on, I, Jia Chong, and the Qin thieves are incompatible, and I will do my best.

Do whatever you can to help the Prime Minister destroy Qin and achieve a lasting legacy!"

If you don't show your loyalty at this time, you will have no chance.

Jia Chong handed over his hand and said, "Chong will die a hundred times without regrets!"

"Oh?" Zhong Hui's eyelids moved.

Jia Chong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "If it weren't for the Prime Minister, Jia Chong would be like a lost dog!"

Wu Jun had broken Zhong Hui's heart. Every time he went north, he couldn't help him. Before the battle started, he clamored to return to Jiangdong...

"Looking at what Yang Zheng has done in the past, he will inevitably equalize the land and reduce taxes in order to calm people's hearts. This method may be used in Yongliang and Shu, but if this is the case in the Central Plains, it will be self-destruction." Jia

He laughed sarcastically.

Zhong Hui's eyes turned towards Jia Chong, "The Wu people are unreliable, so who should we rely on?"

Zhong Hui was also listening attentively.

Zhong Hui did not answer, his eyes swept over Jia Chong's face, as if he was hesitating.

The world is yours, but the place is mine!

After saying so much, this is the only one I really mean.

"Hey, isn't this forced by the situation? Gonglu has a sharp tongue. Going north this time will definitely avert danger. I am waiting for good news in Jiangdong!" Zhong Hui still looked at him with a half-smile.

Jia Chong foamed at the mouth and spoke eloquently.

"The snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit, and the Central Plains is full of flames. The prime minister can train the soldiers and store up grain and grass. When the Qin thieves are exhausted and exhausted, he can order the Lu family to pretend to attack Xiangyang and contain the Qin army. The prime minister will unite heavy troops in the spring and summer to capture Huaihe first.

Si, seize Qingxu again, sweep through Wanluo, and occupy everything south of the Yellow River!"

Jia Chong listened attentively.

Even Jiang Bin, Shen Ying and others who looked down upon Jia Chong as a person had to admire his mouth.

He repeatedly showed weakness, thinking that he had impressed Zhong Hui, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't change and was treated as an outcast, "Prime Minister, Prime Minister!"

The word "Qin" is naturally inconsistent with Guandong.

After his two sons died in infancy, the Jia family had nothing to cherish for him.

Their declaration of surrender to the Qin Dynasty was by no means a true surrender. It was because the Sima family could not support the wall and they were just temporarily compromising under the great prestige of the Qin army. Once the Qin Dynasty infringed on their interests, Guandong would inevitably be in turmoil.

However, Zhong Hui followed the "sage" route in Jiangdong. If he accepted Jia Chong, it would be nothing more than a stain.

Jiang Bin, Shen Ying and others on the side had a look of displeasure on their faces.

Speaking of this, Zhong Hui paused.

Jia Chong's face darkened, hatred and anger intertwined with each other, "Humph, Zhong Shiji, I treat you sincerely, you are playing tricks on me!"

"Haha..." Zhong Hui no longer concealed his smile, "The public has a bad reputation all over the world, but Huizhi dare not use it!"

Jiang Bin and Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

No force likes a regicide, even if he is as docile as a dog.
