contend

Luoyang, Sima Zhao couldn't sit still anymore, "I regret not listening to Zhong Rong's words!"

No matter how good the strategy is, it needs people to execute it.

If Shi Bao's plan can really be implemented, although it will take an extra year or two, Zhong Hui will definitely be trapped to death.

There is no problem with Sima Zhao's choice, Sima Jun is fine, Lu Qin and Wang Chen are fine, but the problem lies with Sima Liang.

"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, send troops immediately!" Shi Bao said urgently.

Zhong Huiquan is based on the Huai River, and if Wu Guo also intervenes, the threat to the Central Plains will be great.

Sima Zhao no longer hesitated, "From Luoyang with 15 Chinese troops, go south to destroy Zhonghui! Jia Chongti [-] Chinese troops marched westward to Hongnong, and promoted Chen Qian to be the general of Zhenbei. , Zhong Rong went south with this king!"

The mighty army marched southward along the Yingshui River, marching extremely fast.

Zhong Hui took Shouchun Hefei Xincheng on the front foot, and Sima Zhao's army arrived on the back foot.

Together with Sima Jun and Lu Qin, there are still more than 20 troops and [-] civilian husbands.

This time Sima Zhao obeyed Shi Bao's words, concentrated his forces regardless of the cost, launched a fierce attack with lightning speed, recruited surrenders and accepted rebels, and successively captured Xiangcheng, Yingshang, Wuqiu and other important towns in Huaibei. .

The small towns and Wubao in Huaibei surrendered one after another.

Conspiracies and tricks are often vulnerable to absolute strength.

Shi Bao even saw Zhong Hui's Achilles' heel.

Sima Zhao's offensive was so fierce that Zhong Hui had to shrink his troops to Huainan, and at the same time sent envoys to ask Soochow for help again.

Sima Zhao soon came to the Huai River.

The two armies lined up across the Huai River.

"Zhong Hui, my family treats you well, what is it?" Sima Yan replaced Sima Zhao, leading the soldiers towards the south bank and asked.

Zhong Hui was also very irritable. Originally, Wang Han and Jiang Bin were left to guard Xiangcheng, Wuqiu, and Yingshang. To live, we can only retreat to Huainan, relying on the two strong cities of Shouchun and Hefei to hold on.

"I, Zhong Hui, are loyal, but the sun and the moon are shining, why does the King of Jin doubt me, so that swords and soldiers meet each other?" Zhong Hui opened his arms and danced on the north city of Shouchun in white, like a big white moth. go.

"It's clear that you are disloyal and unrighteous!" Sima Yan replied, and fell into Zhong Hui's trap.

Zhong Hui clapped his hands and laughed, "Who in the world can compare with your family if you are unfaithful and unjust?"

How can Sima Yan's eloquence compare with Zhong Hui's?

The voices of the two became indistinct after crossing the Huaihe River.

But there were hundreds of soldiers behind each repeating in unison, so both sides of the strait could hear clearly.

In an instant, there was only the sound of the wind whistling and the Huaihe River flowing.

Zhong Huiyu said earnestly: "An Shi, the Sima family's country may not fall into your hands. I know the king of Jin's heart. You are so close to the nobles, how can the king of Jin feel at ease?"

"Zhong Hui is a thief, stop talking nonsense!"

"Whether you are talking nonsense, how can An Shi not know? The words are all here, nephew should think carefully." Zhong Hui asked someone to lift a limp sheet, and simply lay on the top of the wall.

Zhong Hui was on good terms with Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, and with the Yingchuan Zhong family's name, this nephew was definitely not an exaggeration.

"Your Majesty, don't fall for this thief's plan to separate people!" Shi Bao comforted.

Sima Yan seemed to have found a backer, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Shi Bao sternly said: "Wang Ling, Guanqiu Jian, and Zhuge Dan can't keep Shouchun, do you think you can be stronger than the three of them? It's better to surrender early, King Jin will spare you!"

Zhong Hui cupped his hands lazily on the soft floor, "I thank the king of Jin for his great kindness, but with Xiahou Taichu in front, he would not dare to obey orders! Since the king of Jin is suspicious of Zhong Rong, does Zhong Rong think he can die well? Er The greater the credit, the closer the day of the Yi tribe will be!"

"Presumptuous!" In terms of words, Shi Bao is obviously not Zhong Hui's opponent.

Zhong Hui laughed, "Whether it is true or not, Zhong Rong will know in the future!"

Shi Bao knew that the debate on this matter was getting darker and darker. The reason why he was so exhausted was to tell the soldiers in the Chinese army in Shouchun City, "Shouchun Kucheng is a city in Huainan, and the King of Jin is very kind and virtuous, as long as you wait and see." Beheading the bell will bring people's heads to offer, no matter if they are Shu people or Wei people, they will not lose their titles as Marquis, those who are guilty will be spared, and those who have made merit will be rewarded."

Both sides became quiet again.

These words had some influence on the soldiers in the city.

Zhong Hui's soldiers were divided into two parts, one part was the [-] Chinese army who were willing to follow him at the beginning, and the other was the Shu army who surrendered to him.

The Chinese army is more or less unwilling to meet Sima Zhao in battle.

And the Shu army was even more unwilling to work for Zhong Hui, and when he heard that there was a way out, his eyes all became lively.

Sima Zhao has an army of more than 30, and Zhong Hui only has 7 or [-] people left. How long can he defend?

Zhong Hui jumped up from the soft collapse, pointed to the Huai River and swore to Sima and his son: "Shouchun is not enough to resist the king of Jin, but it only needs to be delayed for a few months. How can Qin and Wu remain indifferent? Why don't the kings of Jin return early?" , will take the Huai River as a lesson, will be a minister of Jin forever, and will not betray the Sima family!"

His expression is exaggerated, his movements are slow, and his half-truth and half-fake funny appearance is clearly playing Sima Yi.

As for Sima Yi's Luoshui oath, there are not only storytelling, but also opera, which Huainan soldiers have also heard.

Jiang Shu, Jiang Bin and others burst into laughter.

Then all the soldiers in the city burst into laughter.

Zhong Hui cleverly defuses Shi Bao's surrender, and the soldiers recall all the evil and scandalous things about the Sima family in the storytelling and opera, and their eyes become firm again.

On the opposite side, Sima Yan's face was flushed, and he wanted to reprimand loudly, but found that he couldn't refute.

Every scandalous incident of the Sima family has been recited by storytellers all over the world.

And many things, Zhong Hui is a participant.

From the oath of Luoshui to the beheading of Xia Houxuan in half, to the three rebels in Huainan...

Sima Yan left with a wave of his sleeves, and Shi Bao couldn't continue speaking.

Back in the big tent, Sima Zhao's face was calm, but there was a sullen look in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

Every word Zhong Hui said was exposing the old background of the Sima family, and pouring salt on the wounds of the Sima family...

"Father, Zhong Hui's crime is unforgivable. Hurry up and send out troops to defeat Shouchun in one fell swoop and take the lead to warn the world!" Sima Yan has always been gentle and elegant, but Zhong Hui provoked his anger.

But when he looked up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the cold light in the corner of Sima Zhao's eyes, and his heart trembled.

Nan'an's voice was so loud that it was impossible for Sima Zhao not to hear it.

Father and son for many years, it is impossible for Sima Yan not to know who Sima Zhao is.

To kill Zheng Xiaotong, I would rather kill Qing than Wu Qing, which has long been circulated among the powerful circles in Luoyang.

Under Sen Leng's gaze, Sima Yan was like a glow on his back.

In recent years, he has indeed acted a little too hastily. When Sima Zhao fell ill, the elites of the noble clan sneaked into his command through every possible means.

Every word uttered from Zhong Hui's mouth accurately pierced the weakness of the father and son.

At the beginning, Sima Shi poisoned Lian Lianfa's wife Xiahou Hui in order to rebel.

Sima Yan was sweating profusely. As a member of the Sima family, of course he knew more than outsiders.

Sima Zhao was unusually gentle and said: "For the matter of siege, Zhong Rong can preside over it. An Shi may as well rest and rest. Zhong will speak provocative words, so don't take it to heart."

"Wei." Sima Yan cupped his hands.

Sima Zhao coughed violently. The root cause of his body's disease hadn't been eliminated. He was tired for many days and had to rely on decoction to make up for it. Today, he was confused by Zhong Hui again, and his body couldn't hold on.

"Father, it's time to take medicine." Sima Yan picked up the medicine bowl on the wooden table and fed Sima Zhao the medicine himself.

The father is kind and the son is filial, and his true feelings are revealed, which makes the atmosphere in the tent warmer, and the guards are also quite moved.

The Han and Wei dynasties attached great importance to filial piety.

Sima You has such a great reputation because of his filial piety.
