Chapter 608: Great Cause
Although Sima Zhao took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and disbanded the Tuntian guest, the kettle was still there.
Huaibei was painstakingly operated by Sima Yi in those years, the rivers and canals were convenient, fertile for thousands of miles, and a large number of tuntian fields were in the hands of Zhong Hui.
If there is a field, there will be people, attracting some fishermen and mountain people.
Food is a matter of life and death, Zhong Hui personally took over, all 60,000 troops in his hands were put into labor, the grain was divided equally between public and private, farming and harvesting, training in leisure time, and after two years, he also had some family foundation.
The offense is insufficient, but the defense is more than enough.
And Luoyang's every move is under Zhonghui's eyelids.
Every ten days, a secret letter is sent from Luoyang.
News from Chang'an and Jianye was also sent through various channels.
Zhong Hui is dormant in Huaibei, but he knows everything about the world.
Receiving the news of the battle between Wu and Jin Xiangyang, Zhong Hui pondered for a long time.
This has to be said to be a good opportunity.
However, Lu Qin's reaction in the north was also extremely fast, and heavy troops were stationed in Xuzhou.
Sima Jun also sent a large number of scouts to go deep into Huaibei.
After Wang Shen took office, he also strengthened the defense of Huaishui.
As long as there will be a change in the bell, the army on three sides will be pressed down, and Huaibei can hold it for a while, and can it hold for a lifetime?
Zhong Hui's gaze moved across the map.
The adopted son Zhong Yong was sent to Luoyang, and Sima Zhao really let him go.
But it's not because he misses the old feelings, but because Sima Zhao doesn't want to fight at this time.
Neither side was ready.
Especially after Shi Bao was transferred back to Luoyang, Sima Zhao was even more afraid that Zhong Huigou would jump over the wall in a hurry and attack Eastern Wu from the north and south.
On the seventh day of the fourth month of the seventh year of manna, spring ploughing has begun.
Wancheng had two secret letters, one one in front of the other, and one after the other sent to Yingshang.
One letter is naturally for Zhong Hui.
But no one would have thought that there was another secret letter to Jiang Bin......
"Huainan Wang Shen ......," Zhong Hui muttered softly.
"The King of Jin's 100,000 troops entered Wancheng, isn't it an opportunity for the governor?" Jiang Bin kept staring at Zhong Hui's face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
When he surrendered to Zhong Hui, half of it was because of Zhong Hui's fame, and the other half was the Wei State behind him.
But now that Zhonghui is trapped in Huaibei, surrounded on all sides, and the Sima family is tied up with the Shi clan, Zhonghui has no chance at all.
What awaits him will eventually perish.
Of course, Jiang Bin has to think about his future.
But Zhong Hui shook his head, "Our foundation is too weak, Xuchang has more than 40,000 troops of Sima Jun, I will raise troops to the north, Sima Zhao, Sima Jun, and Lu Qin will definitely lead troops to besiege." ”
He is good at strategy, and he is not good at fighting between two armies.
The reason why Sima Zhao kept him was because there were more things to deal with.
First Shibao, then Eastern Wu invaded, and the Qin State was ready to move.
In this situation, Sima Zhao couldn't make a move.
Moreover, Zhong Hui has an army of 60,000 in his hands, and if he really fights, he can't tell the winner for a while, will Qin and Dongwu watch from the wall?
"If you miss this opportunity, Huaibei will never come out." Jiang Bin's eyes were blazing.
"You are wrong, our opportunity has just begun, the battle of Xiangyang is the last advance of Eastern Wu, this victory, Eastern Wu can continue for another twenty years, if this battle is defeated, within six or seven years, the defeat of Eastern Wu is just around the corner! The Central Plains Shi clan and the Sima family are mixed together, the foundation is solid, we will go north to bring about our own destruction, it is better to stay in Huaibei and sit and watch the changes in the world. "Zhonghui has calmed down a lot in the past two years.
"Who does the governor think will win and who will lose in the battle of Xiangyang?" Jiang Bin has a lot to say today.
Zhong Hui also heard that Jiang Bin was a little strange today, "Why do you need to ask more?" ”
Whoever wins or loses is in Zhonghui's favor, and this battle has given Zhonghui at least five years of respite.
A lot can happen in five years.
Jiang Bin was silent.
Zhong Hui sensed Jiang Bin's displeasure, and said with a smile: "Although Huainan can't be attacked openly, it can be taken secretly!" You and I will achieve a great cause, starting from the Wu and Jin wars. ”
Zhong Hui has 30,000 Chinese troops in his hands, and Jiang Bin also has 20,000 Shu troops in his hands.
Therefore, Zhong Hui can't give Jiang Bin too much face.
The two sides look more like a partnership.
Wang Han and Jiang Bin wore a pair of pants, but Jiang Shu was swaying.
"Oh? What is the Governor's plan? Jiang Bin's face finally looked better.
You and I have achieved great things, which means that Zhong Hui still takes him to heart.
The key Zhong Hui had no heirs, and his adopted son Zhong Yong was sent to Luoyang.
It is not yet known to whom this great cause will end.
Zhong Hui's eyes flashed, "Huainan three rebellions, someone died in the hands of the Sima family, the hatred is as deep as the sea, or it can be used by me, I heard that Yang Zheng has a Xuanyi Division, which specializes in demagoguery and stirring up right and wrong, I can also follow suit!" ”
Not only the three rebellions of Huainan, but also in the Dongguan, Sima Shi deliberately let the Huainan army suffer heavy losses.
Once the largest military town in Cao Wei, with more than 100,000 permanent troops, it gradually fell apart.
But the huge Huainan, of course, cannot be slaughtered.
There are still a large number of soldiers and civilians who survived and continued to serve in Shouchun City.
Zhong Hui clapped his hands, and more than 20 people outside the hall pushed the door in.
The frightened Jiang Bin held the handle of the knife.
Zhong Huigan laughed twice, "These people are all side branches and subordinates of my Zhong family, they have been both civil and military since childhood, what Yang Xingyun can do, a certain can too!" ”
A huge plan is brewing in Zhong Hui's heart.
Zhong Hui seized Huaibei, not far from his hometown Yingchuan Changshe, his brother Zhong Yu did not support him, but the huge Zhong family will always have someone to support him.
Jiang Bin said with a complicated gaze: "The governor is really very human!" ”
Zhong will laugh.
When Jiang Bin returned to his mansion, Wang Han had been waiting for a long time.
Today, the fate of the entire Huaibei has wandered back several times on the edge of the cliff.
"Is the general still hesitating?" Wang Han got straight to the point.
There's no way, the Sima family is too generous.
Jiang Bin is the governor of Huaibei, the prince of Guangling County, and Wang Han is the assassin of Yangzhou and the Marquis of Anyi......
There is only one condition, the head of the Zhong Society.
"It's not hesitation, but to kill Zhong Hui, can we really gain a foothold in this Huaibei?" Jiang Bin said in a cold tone.
"King Jin personally promised!"
"Sima Yi promised Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xuan, and Wang Ling back then!" Jiang Bin, as the son of Jiang Wan and a leader among the scholars in Jingzhou, is certainly not a simple-minded person.
The Sima family gave a lot of money, but the problem was that the two had no roots in the Central Plains.
Holding such a high position with an unstable foundation will certainly not last long.
How could the Central Plains Shi clan accept the two? Sooner or later, it will also be the fate of Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xuan, and Wang Ling.
The reputation of the Sima family and the stunt of the "Yi Three Clans" passed down from generation to generation are well known to everyone in the world.
Jiang Bin didn't dare to use his head to test whether Sima Zhao would keep his promise......
Wang Han also sighed, "If that's the case, wouldn't we just have to wait for death?" ”
It's actually easy to live, hand over the military power to Sima Zhao, and Sima Zhao will definitely not embarrass the two wasters.
But how could the two of them give up their military power and wealth?
Jiang Bin shook his head and said: "No, if we divide with Zhong Hui, we will die, and if we are together, there is still a glimmer of life, and Zhong Hui is a person who is strategic, and he must have great ambitions, and we can only have a glimmer of life if we follow him." ”
In fact, in his heart, Jiang Bin has always admired Zhonghui, so he followed him all the way from Hanzhong to Huaibei.
