Since the war reached Huainan, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu.

Since Sun Hao succeeded to the throne, he has implemented Ming government, practiced frugality, and has the demeanor of a Ming monarch.

But before a year, he was a little slack, thinking that the north country was carefree, and began to indulge in wine.

"Sima Zhaozhong will fight in Huainan, ask for help from me, immediately send troops to help Zhonghui defend the city!" The veteran Ding Feng did his duty.

Regardless of whether Hefei or Xiangyang is taken, the geopolitical pattern of Wu will be greatly broadened.

Qin and Jin couldn't have imagined such a good opportunity, but Dongwu repeatedly missed it.

"Zhong Hui must not be Sima Zhao's enemy!" Puyang Xingdao.

"Zhong Hui is not comparable to Zhuge Festival, and Sima Zhao is not Sima Zhao back then, our army is not out, and we will sit back and watch Zhong be destroyed, wouldn't it be laughing for the people of the world?" Ding Feng's voice was tired.

After the Battle of Xiangyang, he was noticeably older.

The hair is gray, and the wrinkles on the face can no longer be hidden.

"Zhong Hui just asked for help, he never called a minister, why did my Jiangdong send troops for him?" Sun Hao snorted coldly, "Zhong Hui clearly despises Jiangdong!" ”

When Zhuge asked for help, he also sent his son into the pledge and submitted the detailed table, but Zhong Hui was empty and white-toothed, and let Dongwu send troops in vain, which did not benefit anything.

"Sima Zhao, Tiger Ye, Zhong Hui, Snake Ye! It's better to let the tiger and snake fight by themselves, Your Majesty can wait and see what happens, and the old minister will arrange other things. Pu Yangxing thinks that he has the merit of supporting him, and he also speaks in a big way.

When Sun Xiu was in power, the two had always been like this, and Sun Xiu remembered the old love, so he endured it.

This made Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu gradually accustomed to it.

A cold glint flashed in Sun Hao's eyes, and he was looked at by Wan Or on the side.

Puyang Xing has been the prime minister for a few years, not only did he not make achievements, but he made Jiangdong into a miasma, and now he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he is as usual, so naturally he can't last long.

One person attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven.

As Sun Hao's close minister, Wan Or is of course eager to go further.

"I have my own good plan, and I don't work hard for the prime minister." Sun Hao was patient.

But Puyang Xing is used to taking power, obviously treating Sun Hao as Sun Xiu, relying on the old man and selling the old man: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, how can the old minister slack off?" ”

The cold glint in Sun Hao's eyes turned into murderous intent.

Ding Feng spoke warmly and relieved the siege of Puyangxing, "Your Majesty has only known people, and there must be a good plan." ”

Sun Hao said: "Yes, Zhonghui is neither Wu Chen, nor has he formed an alliance with me, it is better to reconcile with the Sima clan, send troops to take Hefei first, and then watch Shouchun!" ”

This strategy is much more clever than Puyang Xing.

Without the support of Soochow, Zhong Hui would be a sign of perdition no matter how he looks at it.

There is no need to grudge with Sima Zhao because of Zhong Hui.

Since Sun Hao came to power, the national policy has been to curry favor with Qin and Jin, sit and watch the war between the east and the west, seek provocation and advance, and wait for the opportunity to move.

Attacking Zhonghui and capturing Hefei is exactly what it is.

If Sima Zhao lost his troops in Shouchun, it was not impossible for Soochow to take Shouchun.

The Sun family has not taken Hefei for several generations, and if it can be realized in his own hands, Sun Hao's prestige will inevitably rise.

No young monarch could resist this temptation.

But Pu Yangxing had to say a few more words like his brain was in water, "The emperor and the first emperor have not conquered Hefei New City for decades, Zhuge Ke's army was defeated and died, Your Majesty must not be reckless!" ”

Ding Feng sighed softly, lowered his head, and said no more.

A gloating smile rolled up at the corners of Wan He's mouth.

Sun Hao's face sank on the spot, and the green tendons on his forehead were rising, but in the end he restrained himself, after all, he is still a promising gentleman now, "The prime minister is kind, and I have received it." ”

A court meeting broke up unhappily.

Pu Yangxing was dismissed, and his mouth was full of complaints, "If it weren't for our support, Your Majesty would be able to sit on the throne?" ”

Naturally, others dare not accept this kind of remarks, and Pu Yangxing complains everywhere.

Naturally, it quickly came to Sun Hao's ears, "The old thief doesn't know how to die?" ”

Wan Or arched his hand and said: "Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu are each other's inside, Jiangdong people have grievances, and now the hall is blatantly disrespectful, in the long run, where is the majesty of Your Majesty?" ”

Wan Or is Sun Hao's henchman.

It was he who planned everything for Sun Hao behind his back to unite the Jiangdong clan, and it was he who persuaded Puyang Xing, Zhang Bu, and Empress Dowager Zhu to welcome Sun Hao.

Sun Hao pondered for a while, "The people of Jiangdong hate this thief to the bone, and they are not suitable for the position of prime minister, so they should be abolished as a concubine and exiled to Guangzhou." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Wan or rejoiced in his heart.

The position of prime minister is close at hand.

Pu Yangxing has long been unpopular, and no one interceded for him when he was deposed.

However, Sun Hao did not let Ding Feng lead the army, but promoted his father-in-law, Gaomi Hou Tengmu, as a general, and supervised the 70,000 troops to go north to Dongguan.

When the army was dispatched, he sent people to hunt down Puyangxing on the way to exile and raze his three clans.

Shou Chun.

The Great War is in full swing.

The Jin army crossed the Huaishui and besieged it on three sides as it did back then.

Shibao understands the importance of time.

Huaishui rises in April and May every year, and there will be floods in July and August, spreading to the city of Shouchun, when the Jin army has no place to stand.

The corpses were stacked up on a high slope under Shouchun City, but Shi Bao still had no intention of stopping, and raised his knife to supervise the battle behind, "This city is not restrained, and a certain person will die with you!" ”

Sima Zhao and Sima Yan also came to the front of the battle to boost morale.

The pressure on Shouchun is increasing.

Many generals suggested abandoning Shouchun and going south to Hefei to connect with Eastern Wu and jointly resist Sima Zhao.

Shi Bao also adopted the method of encircling three and one, letting go of Nancheng, and deliberately letting Zhong Hui escape.

In the face of a huge gap in strength, the strategy cannot be made up after all.

"Give up Shouchun, I will die without a place to be buried!" Zhong Hui knew that his fate had reached an important juncture, pulled out the Heavenly Sword, and the table in front of him was almost broken in two, "If you say this again, you will not be spared!" ”

He led the generals to the city.

Zhong Hui was dressed in white, seemingly weak, but his swordsmanship was extremely clever, his wrist leaned against the heavenly sword, the sword light flashed, and the blood light splashed everywhere, and the Jin army's shield and iron armor could not be stopped.

The morale of the defenders has rebounded a lot, and Shouchun City has held tremblingly.

Zhong Hui never sleeped, guarded the city during the day, patrolled at night, and assigned the Zhong clan to settle in the camps to supervise the soldiers, but those who defected to the enemy and slacked off were all beheaded and displayed to the public.

Still, bad news followed.

"Governor, Eastern Wu has sent troops, and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, personally raised 70,000 troops to go out of Dongguan." The scout said with a pale face.

Hope rose in the eyes of the people.

"Just send troops." Zhonghui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wu Jun went straight to Hefei! Didn't go north! ”

"What?" The other generals were shocked.

Hefei New City was guarded by Zhong Yi, the adopted son of Zhong Hui, with 5,000 people.

The problem is not that Zhong Yi can't hold on, but that their backup is gone.

The drums of war under the city began to roar again, and the sonorous sound of iron armor was like a tide.

The entire Shouchun City was covered with a layer of dead air.

Without the support of Soochow, Zhong Hui would have died!

"I didn't expect the Jiangdong group of dogs to be so short-sighted!" Jiang Bin didn't have a good impression of Jiangdong.

If it weren't for Sun Quan's treachery, the Jingzhou scholars would not have lost their base camp and went into exile in Shuzhong.

"Koto has always been short-sighted!" Zhong Hui quickly reined in the gloomy anger on his face, and looked around at everyone, "Everyone, the matter has come to this point, only a bloody battle, there is a glimmer of life to defend Shouchun, if this battle can survive, Huainan should be shared equally with you!" ”

"I am willing to die for the governor!" Jiang Bin arched his hand.

He still has the demeanor of a scholar more or less, looking down on Dongwu, but even more on the Sima family.
