Chapter 703: Northern Expedition
Ding Feng resolutely disagreed with the Northern Expedition, but the problem was that Ding Feng's health was deteriorating.
Especially the last time I was sick with gas, I rushed to Jingzhou with illness, and I rushed back with the dust, and before I could catch my breath, Sun Hao's moth came again.
You don't agree with the Northern Expedition of the Great Army, it's always okay for a small force to attack and harass the Jin Kingdom, right?
In the first month of the second year of Baoding, Sun Hao ordered Sun Shen, the governor of Xiakou, to conquer Jiangxia and Runan, burn the residents, and Teng Mu, the governor of Wuchang, to attack Yiyang, for a feint, and counterattack Xiangyang by land, and then ordered Ding Feng to lead 10,000 elites to clear the Jin army forces around Hefei.
Ding Feng could only lead his troops to the battle.
However, this trick was indeed useful, Sun Shen drove straight in, plundered Jiangxia and more than 1,000 households in Runan and returned south, and once made Yanghu reprimanded by Luoyang Junchen again.
Teng Mu's momentum was huge, attracting many Jin troops in Huaixi.
Lu Kang broke through Dangyang, accepted it when he saw it, and did not move his troops, which was regarded as satisfying Sun Hao's wishes.
However, Ding Feng had a bad year, marched to the mouth of the vortex, was burst into the camp by a herd of wild boars, and went on a rampage ("Jin Shu Five Elements Zhi II").
Sima Jun, the governor of the northern part of Jinhuai, and Wang Yi, the governor of Yangzhou, saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they attacked from both sides.
Ding Feng could only return in vain.
Sun Hao was furious and beheaded his generals and guides.
This is equivalent to the emperor publicly declaring his dissatisfaction with Da Sima, and the government and the opposition are in an uproar for a while.
Inside the Bell House.
Zhong Hui shook his head and said, "If Sun Hao can listen to others, he is not Sun Hao."
"Then why did the father persuade him?" Zhong Yi's gaze fell on the unhealed wound on Zhong Hui's forehead.
Zhong Hui said proudly, "Of course, it's for the Jiangdong clan."
The effect is also very obvious, and the Jiangdong Shi clan and Zhong Hui are getting closer and closer.
There are children of all ethnic groups who seek to learn from Zhonghui.
The prestige of the government and the opposition has soared, and they all think that he is loyal.
"Da Sima has been a little arrogant and arrogant over the years, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Woe will come to his house."
is in the high position of Da Sima, which is originally on the cusp, and his every move will be criticized.
Coupled with his upright nature, he is arrogant in the eyes of others.
Ding Feng was not from the Shi clan, and he has always been despised by the Jiangdong Shi clan.
Two years ago, Ding Feng's younger brother, Ding Feng, the left general, died of illness, and Ding Feng became more and more weak.
There are also many slanderers around Sun Hao.
"Father's clever calculation." Zhong Yi admired.
"The pillar stone of Eastern Wu, one is Ding Feng, the other is Lu Kang, now Ding Feng is suspicious, Jiangdong will fold one arm, and my strategy can be implemented."
In fact, the situation is a little out of Zhong Hui's control, originally thought that Sun Hao would let him lead the troops to the battle, Zhong Hui took this opportunity to regain military power, and obtained the support of Wu State, and confronted Sima Yan for a year and a half, Zhong Hui has military power, strength has grown, and meritorious service has also been made, just like Sima Yi supervised Yongliang in the past.
But Sun Hao didn't take the usual path, and he wanted to go into battle by himself.
But that's fine, Sun Hao goes north, and Zhong will have more room to play.
Most of the so-called schemes follow the trend, and it is impossible to follow the step-by-step process.
"What does a father want?"
"After Sima Yan succeeded to the throne, he vigorously used the Shandong and Hebei Shi clans, and the Yingchuan Shi clan was not as good as before, so my father should help them!"
Ding Feng returned in vain, feeling ashamed, and his body has been unwell, and he is sick in bed.
At this moment, no one in the court stopped Sun Hao's Northern Expedition.
Lu Kang made two concerts in succession, persuading Sun Hao to rest the army and raise the people, sit and watch the war between the east and the west, and after a few years, the two countries were exhausted, and then took advantage of the gap to advance, and he would definitely be able to make gains.
But Sun Hao was like falling into an evil spirit, and he insisted on going his own way.
In April of the second year of Baoding, in the opposition of the ministers of Jiangdong, Sun Hao raised an army of 130,000 to the Northern Expedition, and led Ding Gu, Zhuge Liang, Yu Yan, Xue Jue and others to gather troops in Niuzhu.
In order to show his determination, Sun Hao also brought his biological mother and concubines.
Zhong Hui risked his life to chase Niu Zhu and persuaded him, "Even if Your Majesty wants to go on a northern expedition, why do you need to come to the front in person? If you are not talented, you are willing to go out on your behalf, and Your Majesty can boost the morale of the three armies later."
this
There are too many people who have advised in the past two months, from Ding Feng to Lu Kang, from Meng Ren to Lu Kai, Sun Hao has long been annoyed, "Don't say much, and watch me win Shouchun and sweep the Central Plains!"
Sun Hao is full of confidence.
Lu Kang's 30,000 army can defeat more than 100,000 Jin troops, and he thinks he can too.
When he was still the king of Nanyang, he was boasted by the Jiangdong clan that he had the style of Sun Ce, the king of Changsha Huan, and the speaker was unintentional, but the person who listened took it seriously.
The armies gathered and went straight to Dongguan.
Zhong Hui chased him to Dongguan again and persuaded him, kneeling in front of Yuanmen the night, which made Sun Hao very annoyed, and finally issued an edict to let him return to Jianye to assist the young prince Sun Jin.
The ministers of Jiangdong praised it greatly.
At the same time as Dongwu sent troops, Luoyang had been preparing for a long time.
Regardless of the fact that the plague had not yet subsided, Sima Yan gathered 150,000 Chinese troops and prepared to go south to meet Sun Hao.
Although the Wu army had the victory of Xiling, Lu Kang was Lu Kang, Sun Hao was Sun Hao, and Sima Yan still won against Sun Hao.
In the past few years, under Sun Hao's misdeeds, generals in Eastern Wu have continued to surrender, which has also exposed the reality of Eastern Wu.
The state of Wu has long been destroyed.
The generals rebelled, the people fled, the bandits rose frequently, and all kinds of chaos were felt.
In this case, Sun Hao is still fighting with all his might.
"The minister has a plan, he can capture Sun Hao alive!" Xun Miao took a step forward with Shi Bao.
"What's the plan?" Sima Yan asked curiously.
Xun Miao pointed to the location of Lujiang County on this map.
There are two Lujiang counties on the map, one is Wei and the other is Wu.
Lujiang County of Wei is in the northeast of Dabie Mountain, and the county governs Lu'an.
The state of Wu is in the southeast of Dabie Mountain, and the county governs Anhui County.
The strategy of Lu'an is Hefei New Town.
"On the occasion of Sun Hao's attack on Shouchun, the army went out to storm the new city and cut off its way back?" Shi Bao's old eyes did not dim at all, but shone brightly.
The south of the old city of Hefei is close to the river and the lake, and the Wu army can rely on the benefits of the navy, and the transportation of grain and grass is also very convenient.
Man Zhong built the new city not far from the river, which happened to make the Wu army unable to give full play to the benefits of the water army, but it could not turn a blind eye, otherwise the Hefei defenders could cut off the water at any time.
Therefore, Xincheng can give full play to the advantages of the Jin army's land warfare.
Geographically, Hefei New City is in the semi-encirclement of Huainan, Lujiang, Anfeng and other counties, if Sun Hao wants to attack Shouchun, he will inevitably use Hefei as a backing.
Xun Miao said: "Sun Hao has repeatedly invaded the Jin soil, and if this thief is not removed, the world will not be at peace."
Jia Chong stared at Xun Xuan, his triangular eyes kept flickering, as if he saw something else, the Yingchuan clan and Zhong Hui had a secret connection, it was not a secret, the clan gate valve had always been intertwined and rooted everywhere, "The new city is strong, how can Sun Hao not defend it with heavy troops? The minister suggested that he should follow the example of the first emperor to break Zhuge Day, stick to it first, weaken its momentum, wait for it to be exhausted, and all roads go hand in hand, why take this risk? At that time, Zhuge Ke's 200,000-strong army was not able to conquer the stars, and if our army was delayed for a long time, I was afraid that Shouchun would change."
Sima Yan was noncommittal, and his gaze turned to Shi Bao.
Militarily, Shi Bao has the most right to speak, "Then it depends on whether Your Majesty wants to retreat from the enemy or destroy Wu!"
Sima Yan became interested, "How do you say this?"
"If Your Majesty wants to retreat from the enemy, you only need to rush to the aid of all roads and make a big noise, Sun Hao will not be able to conquer for a long time, and he will retreat, but this strategy is too slow, at least a few months, at most a year, Sun Hao retreats this time, and he will return next time." Shibud arched his hand.
Sima Yan's biggest headache is this.
The Battle of Xiling gave Sun Hao courage and confidence, and he stared at Sima's family with all his heart, which made Sima Yan annoyed.
"Hefei is an important national town, the southern barrier, once the Eastern Wu repairs the old city of Hefei, then Huainan is no longer owned by the state, Sun Hao is light and unprepared, there is a great victory in Xiling, will underestimate our army, Your Majesty can have 150,000 troops to Hefei directly, cut off its retreat, and then attack from the north and south, then the Wu army can be broken, Sun Hao can be captured!" Shi Bao agreed with Xun Miao's proposition.
Jia Chong smelled a trace of abnormality from it, when did Shi Bao and the Yingchuan Shi clan catch up?
Is it just a coincidence?
Before he could think about it, Sima Yan had already stroked his palm and smiled,
"Great goodness!"
