Chapter 610
Although Sima Zhao drew his salary from the bottom of the pot and dismissed the Tuntian Ke, the pot is still there.

Huaibei was managed by Sima Yi painstakingly in the past, the rivers and canals were convenient, the fertile fields were thousands of miles away, and a large number of farmlands were in the hands of Zhonghui.

There will be people in Arita, attracting some fishermen and mountain people to come.

Food is a matter of life and death. Zhong Hui will take it over personally. All [-] troops in his hands will be put into work.

Not enough offense, but more than enough defense.

Moreover, Luoyang's every move is under Zhong Hui's nose.

Every ten days, secret letters are sent from Luoyang.

News from Changan and Jianye was also sent through various channels.

Zhong Hui lay dormant in Huaibei, but he knew everything about the world like the palm of his hand.

After receiving the news of the battle between Wu and Jin in Xiangyang, Zhong Hui pondered for a long time.

This has to be said to be a good opportunity.

However, Lu Qin's reaction to the north was also very fast, and heavy troops were stationed in Xuzhou.

Sima Jun also sent a large number of scouts to go deep into Huaibei.

After Nanmian Wang Chen took office, he also strengthened the defense of Huaishui.

As long as there is a movement of the clock, the armies on three sides will be suppressed. Can Huaibei hold on for a while, or 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 of missing the old love, but because Sima Zhao doesn't want to fight at this time.

Neither side is ready.

Especially after Shi Bao was transferred back to Luoyang, Sima Zhao was even more afraid that Zhong would jump over the wall in a hurry and attack Soochow with Soochow from north to south.

On the seventh day of April in the seventh year of Ganlu, spring plowing has begun.

Two secret letters from Wancheng were sent to Yingshang one after the other.

One is naturally for Zhong Hui.

But no one would have thought that there was another secret letter addressed to Jiang Bin...

"Huainan Wang Chen..." Zhong Hui muttered softly.

"Isn't it an opportunity for the governor to enter Wancheng with King Jin's [-] troops?" Jiang Bin kept staring at Zhong Hui's face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

When he surrendered to Zhonghui, half of it was because of Zhonghui's reputation, and the other half was because of Wei Guo behind him.

But now Zhonghui is trapped in Huaibei, surrounded on all sides, and the Sima family is tied to the gentry, so Zhonghui has no chance at all.

What awaits him will eventually be death.

Of course, Jiang Bin has to think about his own future.

But Zhong Hui shook his head, "Our foundation is too weak. Xuchang has more than [-] troops from Sima Jun. If I send troops to the north, Sima Zhao, Sima Jun, and Lu Qin will definitely lead the army to besiege."

His strength lies in strategy, but 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 Shi Bao, and then Soochow invaded, and Qin was ready to move.

In this situation, Sima Zhao couldn't make a move.

Moreover, Zhong Hui had an army of [-] in his hands. If there was a real fight, it would be impossible to tell the winner for a moment. Would Qin and Soochow stand on the sidelines?

"If this opportunity is missed, Huaibei may never have a bright future." Jiang Bin said with bright eyes.

"You are wrong. Our opportunity has just begun. The Battle of Xiangyang was the last time Soochow made an aggressive move. With this victory, Soochow can last for another 20 years. If this battle is lost, Soochow will be defeated within six or seven years! The Sima family is mixed together and has a solid foundation. If I go north to kill myself, why don't I stay in Huaibei and watch the world change." Zhong Hui has calmed down a lot in the past two years.

"The governor thinks who will win and lose in the battle of Xiangyang?" Jiang Bin talked a lot today.

Zhong Hui also heard that Jiang Bin was a little strange today, "Why do you need to ask more questions?"

No matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to Zhonghui. This battle has given Zhonghui at least five years of respite.

A lot can happen in five years.

Jiang Bin remained silent.

Zhong Hui sensed Jiang Bin's displeasure, and smiled again: "Although Huainan cannot be attacked openly, it can be captured secretly! You and I will succeed in the great cause, starting from the Wu-Jin war."

Zhong Hui has [-] Chinese troops, and Jiang Bin has [-] Shu troops.

Therefore, Zhong Hui should not be too disrespectful to Jiang Bin.

The two sides look more like a partnership.

Wang Han and Jiang Bin are wearing a pair of trousers, while Jiang Shu is swinging.

"Oh? What's the best strategy for the governor?" Jiang Bin finally looked better.

You and I have accomplished great things, which shows that Zhonghui still takes him seriously.

The key point is that Zhong Hui has no heirs, and his adopted son Zhong Yong is sent to Luoyang.

It is not yet known who will pass on this great cause.

Zhong Hui's eyes flashed, "Three traitors in Huainan, every family died at the hands of the Sima family, the hatred is as deep as the sea, and it may be of use to me. I heard that Yang Zheng has the Xuanyi Department, which specializes in demagoguery and sowing discord. , I can follow suit!"

Not only the Huainan Three Rebels, but also in Dongguan, Sima Division deliberately caused heavy losses to the Huainan Army.

Once the largest military town in Cao Wei, with tens of thousands of permanent troops, it gradually fell apart.

But of course the huge Huainan cannot be completely wiped out.

There are still a large number of soldiers and people who survived and continued to serve in Shouchun City.

Zhong Hui clapped his hands, and more than 20 people outside the hall opened the door and entered.

The frightened Jiang Bin held the handle of the knife.

Zhong Hui laughed dryly, "These people are all offshoots and tributaries of my Zhong family. Since childhood, they have both civil and military skills. What Yang Xingyun can do, so can a certain one!"

A huge plan was brewing in Zhong Hui's mind.

Zhong Hui ruled in Huaibei, not far from his hometown Changshe in Yingchuan. His older brother Zhong Yu did not support him, but there was always someone in the huge Zhong family who supported him.

Jiang Bin said with complicated eyes: "The governor is indeed very human!"

Chung would laugh.

When Jiang Bin returned to his mansion, Wang Han had been waiting for a long time.

Today, the fate of the entire Huaibei hovered on the edge of the cliff several times.

"Is the general still hesitating?" Wang Han cut to the chase.

No way, the Sima family gave too generously.

Jiang Bin is the governor of Huaibei, Duke of Guangling County, Wang Han is the governor of Yangzhou, Marquis of Anyi...

There is only one condition, Zhong Hui's head.

"It's not hesitation, but killing Zhong Hui, can we really gain a foothold here in Huaibei?" Jiang Bin said coldly.

"Prince Jin personally promises!"

"Sima Yi promised Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, and Wang Ling back then!" As the son of Jiang Wan, Jiang Bin was a leader among Jingzhou scholars, and of course he was not a simple-minded person.

The Sima family gave generously, but the problem was that the two had no foundation in the Central Plains.

Such a high position with an unstable foundation is bound to not last long.

How could the Central Plains gentry accept two people?Sooner or later, it will be the fate of Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, and Wang Ling.

The reputation of the Sima family and the unique skills of the "Three Yi Clans" passed down from generation to generation are well known all over the world.

Jiang Bin didn't dare to use his own head to test whether Sima Zhao would keep his promise...

Wang Han also sighed, "If so, wouldn't we have to wait for death?"

It's actually easy to want to live. If you hand over military power to Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao will definitely not embarrass the two useless people.

But how could the two of them give up military power and wealth?
Jiang Bin shook his head and said: "No, we will die if we divide with Zhong Hui, and we will have a chance if we cooperate. Moreover, Zhong Hui is a strategist and must have great ambitions. Only by following him can we have a chance of survival."

In fact, in his heart, Jiang Bin has always admired Zhong Hui, so he followed him all the way from Hanzhong to Huaibei.
