The most important thing for fishing is patience, Wang Meng has already captured Nanyang, even if this war ends here, Liang Guo will not lose.

And the Huanwen Northern Expedition, it is difficult to move an inch, and Nanyang has been lost, what face do you have to see the Jiangdong Shi clan?

All Li Yue had to do was wait for the fish to take the bait.

The Liang army could not hold out, but the Jin army was ready to move.

A large number of scouts snooped around.

Occasionally, an army was sent to challenge, showing off their might in front of the camp, all kinds of foul language were unbearable, so angry that the black cloud soldiers gritted their teeth, and the generals knelt in front of Li Yue to ask for battle.

Li Yue didn't allow it, "Can't you hold your breath after a few words of insult?" If there are any more speakers of war, military law will deal with them! ”

The generals retreated.

Li Yue did his homework and ordered the grain ships in the canal to temporarily dock in Ruyin, so as not to alarm Huan Wen.

However, Huan Wen was extremely cautious, and it dragged on for more than half a month before there was finally a movement.

Or Meng Kai's secret letter, "The generals of the Jin army all despise the northerners, I am the commander of the northern exiles, and I am deeply disliked by the Jiangdong scholars, and I am like cattle and horses...... Your Majesty is willing to lead the 8,000 elites of the headquarters to defect to Daliang, and then ask Your Majesty to take care of my family and family, and drive around the north and south, drifting for half a life, only a little blood and bones remain......"

This letter was written with sincerity and reasonableness, which made Li Yue a little confused.

But he soon came to his senses.

Meng Kai's secret letter doesn't come early or late, and is always stuck at key nodes, obviously cooperating with Huan Wen's rhythm.

"I am so happy to hear that my brother abandons the darkness and votes for the light, but I can come to vote, there is no need to worry about it, everything behind me is presided over by me, and the Jiangdong rats dare to hurt my brother's family, I will slaughter Jiangdong one day and take revenge!"

The highest level of acting is half-truths.

Meng Kai was "sincere", and Li Yue naturally "reciprocated with peach".

After the letter was delivered, there was silence for several days.

Li Yue had long been accustomed to Huan Wen's hesitation and procrastination.

The Jin army camp became divided, and even the scouts were sent less.

However, the situation on both sides is like a dry fire, and when touched, a raging flame will ignite.

At this point, Li Yue still has a way out, but Huan Wen does not, losing this opportunity, it is difficult to follow Sima Yi's old path.

The reason why Sima Yi was able to usurp the throne was based on his great martial arts, and he pointed at Luoshui and let out a loud fart, and the scholars also bowed their heads and recognized it.

And Huan Wen had already lost once in Guanzhong, and he urgently needed this big victory to establish his prestige, but it was a pity that he found the wrong opponent.

Li Yue's mentality became more and more calm, and there is a saying in "Wei Xuanzi": The soldier wins with quietness, and the country wins with specialization.

Since you have decided to fish for the big fish of Huan Wen, you must have calmness.

Time is just going on day by day, but the atmosphere on both sides is getting tighter and tighter, like a prelude to a storm, and a big war is about to break out.

Finally, Meng Kai's letter came again, unusually brief, "Two days later, dawn!" ”

Li Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, all his patience and waiting were not in vain, and the big fish took the bait......

Jin army camp.

Meng Kai stood in the big tent like a bottle of clay sculpture, without any expression on his face.

"If this battle can be successful, General Meng should be the first to take the lead, I will play the imperial court, and you will be promoted to Xuzhou Thorn History, General Zhenbei, and Dong'an Hou!" Huan Wen looked kind.

After this set of rewards, Meng Kai officially entered the ranks of Jiangdong magnates, and as long as he hugged Huan Wen's thighs in the future, glory and wealth were indispensable.

However, this also aroused the strange eyes of the generals in the tent, envy, jealousy, and contempt......

A person who betrays his righteous brother, even if he succeeds, will not be able to go far in Jiangdong in the future.

"Xie Da Sima!" Meng Kai bowed, still without any expression on his face.

No one knew what was going on in his heart.

Huan Wen said with a smile: "You don't need to think much about this battle, just rush to kill, your sons and daughters, I will take care of it, and after the matter is completed, your daughter can be married to the Huan family." ”

Meng Kai's whole body trembled, in fact, the letter to Li Yue was not wrong, children are his biggest thoughts, people who have been displaced for half his life, cherish their families even more.

Huan Wen's implication is that if Meng Kai has two hearts, or if things can't be done, then his children don't think about it.

From this sentence, it can be seen that Huan Wen never believed him.

Meng Kai shuddered, but his face pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring, "Don't worry, Da Sima, the last general and the Liang thief are incompatible, and this battle should be revenge for Xun Hussar's great revenge!" ”

After Xun Xian's death, he was posthumously named a hussar general.

"Hahaha, that's great!" Huan Wen took Meng Kai's hand and said to the generals: "You should also do your best!" ”

"Command!" The generals said in unison.

After retreating, Huan Wen left Xi Chao alone.

Before the generals, he looked like he was in his chest, but now that everyone has retreated, a heavy look of worry appeared on his face, and he paced back and forth in the tent, "Guest, can this plan be successful?" ”

"According to the subordinates, when between the five and five, Li Yue has always been cunning with his soldiers, Meng Kai has been separated from him for nearly ten years, the brotherhood has long disappeared, and those who fight for the world, fathers and sons and brothers also kill each other, and they are brothers?" Xi Chao looked at Huan Wen with burning eyes.

"Fifty percent?" Huan Wen frowned, knowing that Xi Chao said this for the sake of his own face, and the real situation was only afraid that it would be less than fifty percent.

"The trick of deception has been used repeatedly since the Han and Wei dynasties, it is not surprising, if the great Sima ties the whole army here, he is only afraid of ......"

"Nanyang misses, Hefei is not broken, the Northern Expedition is difficult to move an inch, if it is a big defeat, I am afraid that the great cause will not be successful." Huan Wen was unexpectedly melancholy, and the spirit before the Northern Expedition was gone.

"Jing Xiang is not lost, the elite of the big Sima is still there, a little loss is not enough to worry about, the great cause can not be in a hurry, when the slow plan, the only plan for now, since it is unfavorable, when the strength is returned, the strength is still there, Jiangdong ...... to be worry-free. ”

As long as the tens of thousands of elites in his hands are still there, Jiangdong is still the forbidden side of Huan Wen.

On the contrary, if the elite does not exist, he will not be the only one who has the final say in Jiangdong in the future.

"Retirement?" Huan Wen's pupils contracted suddenly, and the old mistake of hesitation was committed again, "Let me think about it." ”

Xi Chao hurriedly said: "If Da Sima is unwilling to retreat, he should give it a go with Liang Jun, even if he loses both, he can protect Jiangdong for ten years, if Liang Guo is seriously injured, Fu Jian, Murong Ke, Tuoba Shi Yijian and others will rise up and attack it, Da Sima will return to Jingxiang to recuperate, and after ten years, it will not be too late to recover Shenzhou!" ”

Although the Liang army is elite, the Jin army has a strength advantage, and there are tens of thousands of sailors and young people in the rear, so there are still opportunities.

As long as Jing Xiang is in his hand, Jiangdong will never be able to fly in the palm of his hand.

However, this requires a lot of determination.

The Jin soldiers are not lacking in courage and blood, and the key depends on the decision of the superiors.

It's a pity that the current Huan Wen is no longer the Huan Wen when he was cutting down Shu, when more than 10,000 men and horses dared to attack Cheng Han, and now he has an army of 100,000 and holds internal and external authority, but he doesn't dare to let go.

After hesitating for a long time, Huan Wen chose a compromise method, "Let's see if Meng Kai can demoralize the Liang army first!" ”

Xi Chao sighed silently.
