Just when Wei Shuo and the others were about to leave the East China Sea Kingdom and step into Pengcheng Kingdom, a news that shocked the world quickly spread around Tancheng as the center.

Liu Cong, the emperor of the Xiongnu Han State, sent the generals Liu Yao, Shi Le, Wang Mi and other 300,000 troops to launch the third attack on the Western Jin Dynasty......

Wei Shuo realized that the person he met at the gate of Tancheng at that time was likely to be the person sent back by Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, to ask for help, although he did not know what kind of reaction Xuzhou made in history, but judging from what he saw and heard along the way, even if Xuzhou tried his best to save it, I am afraid it would be useless.

It's not that Wei Shuo has extinguished his prestige and beard, but it is really that Xuzhou lacks a leader who can compete with Liu Yao, Shi Le, etc. Pei Dun, who is only ambitious and talented, can't complete the rescue mission, unless it is possible to replace Liu Kun or Zu Ti.

The Hu people attacked again, which was undoubtedly worse for the stormy Western Jin Dynasty, and the situation that could have been barely maintained was likely to disappear.

"Alas, the long wife rests to cover up the tears, and mourns the difficulties of the people's livelihood! The people of the Central Plains are going to suffer again! Although Wei Shuo hated the cruelty of the Hu people, he was not able to save the people of the Central Plains at the moment, so he could only express a few words of emotion in private.

……

The Hu people once again set off a new counteroffensive upsurge, causing further turmoil in various places, of which the most affected were undoubtedly Xuzhou and Jiangdong.

When Wei Shuo and the others entered Pengcheng, they had already deeply felt the atmosphere before the war, the city walls were full of soldiers, and the city gate was also checked. Wei Shuo's identity as a Yantian envoy brought him great convenience, originally the city gate guards had to get in the car to check, but as soon as Wei Shuo's identity was revealed, the benefits were handed over again, and the people immediately let him go.

"Brother Wei, do you say that the Hu people can fight Xuzhou?"

"Hehe, I'm not an immortal, how can I know what will happen in the future?"

Zhang Erlang slammed the carriage hard and said hatefully: "The Hu people are so hateful, if it weren't for them, how could the world have fallen to this step?" ”

"Have you heard a word from Erlang?"

"What?"

"Evil in heaven can exist, but you can't live if you do it yourself!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Wei Shuo's mouth: "The world has reached this point, it is completely the emperor, officials, nobles, and families who have suffered their own faults, if it weren't for them, how could the people of this world suffer such a great sin!" ”

"The rise of the Hu people is just a coincidence, which is not only a disaster for Huaxia, but also an experience. If Huaxia can be reborn from the ashes, it may not be able to embark on a broad road. On the contrary, it is also possible to fall into the hell of Ah Bi and become a slave of the Hu people. ”

When Wei Shuo entered Pengcheng, the Xuzhou Thorn Mansion at this time had already been in chaos. At this time, Pei Dun had no idea like a headless fly, and the 300,000 Hu people in the north rushed to Luoyang like Mount Tai pressing the top, and Pei Dun, who had already received the edict of King Qin, did not dare to send troops north.

Pei Dun has been frightened by the 300,000 Hu iron cavalry, not to mention letting him raise troops to serve the king, even if someone mentions the names of Shi Le and others in front of him, they will be scared to tremble.

Changshi Sima Ao despised Pei Dun very much in his heart, and the reason why he was willing to stoop to Pei Dun was nothing more than to satisfy his ambitions. Pei Dun has no opinions, his ears are soft, and he is easily influenced by outsiders. In fact, the whole of Xuzhou knows that the history of the assassin is obedient to the long history.

For King Qin this time, Sima Ao has his own plans. As a low-ranking scholar, the history of a governor is basically the highest position he can promote, and if he wants to go further, he has to perform better in this Qinwang.

So Sima Ao's eyes rolled and he said bewildermently: "My lord, if you don't know whether to say something or not?" ”

"Oh, when has this been, are you still selling off? If you have anything to say, just say it! Pei Dun knew that Sima Ao was a little clever on weekdays, so when he heard that he had an idea, he couldn't help but feel like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Sima Ao smiled flatteringly and said, "My lord, this is the opportunity that God has given you!" As long as the adults perform effectively in this Qinwang action, they will inevitably become famous all over the world, and the court will definitely reward the adults, and there will be adults in the position of the three princes in the future. ”

Pei Dun's heart was hot when he heard this, but then he thought of the 300,000 Hu army in the north, and the little momentum he had just raised suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"This, but, tsk......"

Seeing Pei Dun's hesitant appearance, Sima Ao hurriedly took a step forward and continued to agitate: "My lord, although the Hu people have an army of 300,000, their main force will definitely go to besiege Luoyang, and it will only be the Hu people's partial army that will deal with the Qinwang army from all walks of life. The following officials estimate that the Hu people will only send more than 10,000 men to deal with us at most. ”

"Is there really only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses?"

"There will definitely not be too many soldiers and horses, no matter how many Hu people can't pull them out, and it is impossible for them to transfer all their troops to deal with us." Sima Ao swore that in order to fool Pei Dun to the front line, he would also let go today.

"Even if there are only more than 10,000 Hu Qi, it's not easy to deal with......" Pei Dun was still a little hesitant, somehow every time he mentioned Hu Ren, some terrible memories hidden in the depths of his memory always came to his heart, and his fear of Hu Ren had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Seeing that Pei Dun was a little moved, Sima Ao hit the railway while it was hot: "My lord, we can recruit more soldiers to strengthen our momentum, maybe the Hu people will take the initiative to retreat when they see that we have a lot of people." ”

"Shhh That's right, it's a great plan in the long history! Pei Dun clapped his hands excitedly, and people said that wine strengthens people's courage, but they didn't expect that more people can also strengthen their courage. Pei Dun, who was frightened at the mention of Hu Ren, is now like eating the gall of an ambitious leopard, and his courage has doubled.

"Eh, no, we don't seem to have many soldiers to fight in Xuzhou? When the King of the East China Sea went north, he took away all the elites of Xuzhou, and now the rest are all remnants of the weak army! ”

After Sima Ao's encouragement three times and five times, Pei Dun finally mustered up his courage, but when he thought of the miserable situation of Xuzhou soldiers, the courage he had just mustered was as good as before.

Looking at Pei Dun's cowardice, Sima Ao was so angry that he couldn't wait to slash him with a knife. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to borrow Pei Dun's skin, he really didn't want to wait.

"My lord, although there are not many elite soldiers in Xuzhou, we can send the children of the good family as soldiers! At the beginning, the king of Wu cut down, and the king distributed weapons to the slaves and instantly gained tens of thousands of troops, and the adults can follow suit! There are one million people in Xuzhou, and if it is properly organized, it can get 100,000 troops in an instant, even if it can't take the initiative to attack, but it is not a big problem to deal with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

In this way, the adult can show his face in front of the heroes of the world, plus the adult is a celebrity, born in the Pei clan in Hedong, and is a first-class family, not much worse than Yuan Benchu at the end of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, Yuan Benchu was able to become the leader of the alliance with the position of a mere Taishou and achieve hegemony, why can't adults do things with this? ”

Yes! Yuan Benchu was able to achieve the position of overlord in the late Han Dynasty's action against Dong, why can't I, Pei Dun?

Not to mention that Xuzhou Assassin Shi Pei Dun was about to move under Sima Ao's instigation, it was said that after Jiangdong Sima Rui got the information of King Qin, he immediately summoned his henchmen Wang Dun and Wang Dao to discuss.

If the Hu people's invasion of Luoyang is bad news for Xuzhou, then it may be good news for Sima Rui. If it collapses today, people with lofty ideals are all working hard. As a child of the clan, Sima Rui is naturally unwilling to be left behind.

"Chu Zhong, Mao Hong, I think you also got the news, how to deal with it now, please teach me two gentlemen!"

Wang Dun is decisive and assertive, and after thinking for a while, he said directly: "The king doesn't have to participate in this matter, Jiangdong and Luoyang are too far apart, even if the king has the heart to help the court, I'm afraid it won't be too late." So we might as well focus on Jiangdong, now is the critical moment for the king to win over the hearts of the Jiangdong scholars, how can we be bound by this mundane matter? ”

Although Sima Rui felt that what Wang Dun said was very reasonable, the other party's appearance of being unquestionable and teaching the younger generation a lesson really made him disgusted. If it weren't for the fact that the Langya Wang family was very needed to help him enter Jiangdong at this time, Sima Rui would have turned his face with Wang Dun a long time ago.

Wang Dao saw that Sima Rui's face had changed, and hurriedly spoke: "The king doesn't blame the elder brother for being disrespectful, it is really that he sincerely works for the king." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that within five years, the Central Plains will inevitably be in chaos, and then the king will need to come out to reorganize the rivers and mountains! Therefore, at present, the king should not be too involved in the affairs of the Central Plains, just run Jiangdong and wait for the time! ”
