contend

Chapter 667
Yiyang is located in Huaixi, with Shouchun in the east, Xuchang in the north and Nanyang in the west.

Sun Hao's rebellion was not a temporary one. After succeeding to the throne, he sent Zhang Yan, a great man, and Ding Zhong, a general with five senses, to visit the Central Plains many times. Sima Zhao was obedient and obedient, but Sima Zhao died suddenly. Sima Yan had just taken power. Hao felt that the opportunity had come.

Zhang Yan and Ding Zhong were then sent to Luoyang to mourn Sima Zhao and secretly observe the situation.

Zhang Yan died of illness halfway, and Ding Zhong received a treasured tripod, in which there was a map marking the route from Yiyang to Xuchang, Wancheng, Luoyang and the deployment of troops.

Sun Hao was overjoyed and immediately changed the Yuan Bao Ding.

Ding Zhong tried his best to encourage Sun Hao to send troops, "Sima Yan is busy proclaiming himself emperor, and the north is unprepared, so Yiyang is preferable!"

Liu Zuan, General of Chariots and Cavalry, advised: "The country's struggle for hegemony has always been like this, but now there are shortcomings, so it is useless to abandon it?"

With such a big loophole in the north, how could Soochow give up the opportunity?

At this time, Jianye suddenly spread the news that Sima Yan was about to lead a large army to attack Wu in order to become emperor.

Huainan Zhonghui also seemed to have the intention of sending troops to attack the Central Plains together, and sent envoys to make friends with the rich and famous people in Jiangdong, and to do what they liked, sending beautiful women, treasures, and Putao wine from the Western Regions to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao was overjoyed by the hungry ghost and drunken madman, and made a secret promise to Zhong Hui.

Only the Right Commander, Martin, advises against it. Yiyang is far away from Jianghuai, and is in the hinterland of the Central Plains. This knife?

However, since ancient times, loyalty has been harsh, and Sun Hao is in high spirits. Last year, he attacked Hefei Xincheng and made his head look ashamed, so Sun Hao couldn't hold back his face.

"If Your Majesty really wants to send troops, why bother Yiyang? The top one is Xincheng, and the second one is Xiangyang. Based on the advantages of Jianghan, we can spy on Nanyang, and the bottom one is Yiyang!" Ding Feng is still making his final efforts, "Our army Attacking Xincheng, Sima Yan will definitely send troops to Shouchun, and Zhonghui will be destroyed!"

Soochow never sent troops from Yiyang during the previous Northern Expeditions.

Attacking from here is tantamount to taking risks.

In Ding Feng's opinion, it is better to attack Zhong Hui.

Sun Hao was dazed by the beauties sent by Zhong Hui, thinking of Zhong Hui's well being, of course he didn't want to attack Zhong Hui.

The last battle in the new city also left a psychological shadow on him, this time he said nothing and didn't want to go again.

"Your Majesty, don't talk too much!" Sun Hao rejected Ding Feng with a bad face, and at the same time ordered Shi Ji and the infantry to attack Xiangyang and divide the Central Plains troops.

The Jiangdong monarchs and ministers stared at the Central Plains, and the Central Plains monarchs and ministers also stared at Jiangdong.

Sima Yan was angered by Sun Hao, he didn't seek trouble with him, instead he came to seek trouble with himself first.

However, in the past two years since Sun Hao succeeded to the throne, he has been addicted to wine and sex, cruel and easy to kill.

He ordered the selection of the daughters of two thousand ministers to enter the palace. There were thousands of people in the harem, and the selection never stopped. Sometimes Xie Cheng's granddaughter, Xie Xiannv, burned her face and served alcohol, and became sallow and thin to avoid entering the palace as a concubine.

Sun Hao hated others looking at him directly, thinking it was disrespectful to him. When the courtiers had an audience, no one dared to look up.

Every time a banquet is held, the guests must drink at least seven liters of alcohol, which is called the "wine pass". Those who fail to pass the test will be whipped, their eyes will be gouged out, their feet will be cut off, and their heads will be beheaded...

All kinds of atrocities shocked the emperor and ministers of Luoyang.

Sima Yan's heart to defeat Wu became firm.

Shi Bao suggested: "Sun Hao pretended to attack Xiangyang and actually took Yiyang. Your Majesty might as well pretend to defend Yiyang and actually take Jiangling. If Jiangling is conquered, our army will take advantage of Jianghan's situation and go straight down to Jiangdong. Destroyable!"

Exchanging Yiyang for Jiangling is too cost-effective.

Moreover, Sun Hao might not be able to capture Yiyang.

During this Northern Expedition, there wasn't a single major general. Although Liu Zuan was also a veteran general, he didn't have many victories.

"This is a great strategy!" Sima Yan immediately adopted it.

Take Jiangling, Jingxiang will become one, and the end of Jiangdong will come.

"Then who will guard Yiyang and who will attack Jiangling?" Jia Chong asked the key point.

There are too many doorways here.

Jiangling is not that easy to play, Shi Ji lacks offense, but more than enough defense.

For more than ten years, it has resisted many attacks by Wang Chang, Zhou Tai, Wang Ji and others.

Soochow is heavily defending Jiangling, and to the south is Xiling, which is heavily defending, forming the horns of each other.

There is no doubt that this is a tough bone.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Shi Bao coughed, "I am willing to fight for the king!"

Without military power in hand, Shi Bao always felt chilly on his neck.

Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about your sons.

All the other gentry families have cities, land and soldiers, but the Shi family is naked, with only gold and silver that is incomparably rich, the more money, the more people who care about it.

Sima Yan's eyes flickered. Although he was only 28 years old, his strategy and city government were not under his father, and he was extremely cautious about military power.

Shi Bao is almost seventy this year, in case there is a mistake on the way...

However, there are not many handsome people around Sima Yan.

Sima Ni, Sima Liang, and Sima Ban are all mediocre people. The only Sima family can use is Sima Jun, but Sima Jun is guarding Xuchang, and he can't get away. see you.

Originally, Sima Yan wanted Jia Chong to play.

But Jia Chong was evasive.

Smart people naturally don't want to go to this kind of fierce battle, and Sima Yan can't force it.

"The battle opportunity is fleeting, and I only brought [-] elite Chinese troops. They marched day and night, secretly entered Xiangyang, and had a sudden blow with Wang Yi. Shi Bao will be defeated, and Jiangling can be won!" Shi Bao was very determined.

Jia Chong said flatly: "The Shi Ji Baxie is a general who has fought a hundred battles. Although he is mediocre, he knows how to fight. Lord Shi has not fought in battle for many years..."

Shi Bao's old face was flushed, "If you don't break Shiji, step by step, I will thank the king by killing myself!"

"Shi Gong is really the pillar of my family!" Sima Yan looked moved, and the [-] Chinese Army could still accept it.

The current Luoyang is not short of these 3 horses.

In case something goes wrong, Shi Bao will fight for his life by himself.

"I recommend someone as a striker." Shi Bao is not a reckless man. He knows his own disadvantages and needs a strong forward.

"Shi Gong, but it's okay to say."

"Hongnong Taishou Wang Jun supervised Yan Xun under his tent."

Yan Xun is from Nanpi, Bohai, Hebei, and Shi Bao is a fellow villager. It is reasonable and reasonable for fellow villagers to recommend fellow villagers.

Of course, Sima Yan would not refuse this request, "But from Shigong's request, 3 people are too few, and another [-] can be added. The Luoyang Central Army can choose at will."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Bao was overjoyed.

After so many years of being a loyal dog, it finally ushered in the rewards.

Jia Chong glanced at the beaming Shi Bao, "In this case, please go to Xuchang to meet Sun Hao!"

Yiyang is at the junction of various towns, Sun Hao's attack on this place is like throwing himself into a trap.

Sima Yan happily said: "Yes!"

"If the king invades Dongwu, Huainan cannot be ignored!" At the critical moment, the servant Wang Ye spoke.

He found that everyone was avoiding Huainan intentionally or unintentionally.

Originally, the best way to establish achievements was to attack Huainan. Zhong Hui had already been beaten to death last year. This time he sent troops, Zhong Hui would surely die.

But the strange thing is that everyone seems to have forgotten his existence.

Wang Ye was born in a poor family, and he had only a half-knowledge of the tacit understanding of the gentry. He vaguely guessed that there was someone behind Zhong Hui to support him, but in order to curry favor with Sima Yan, he still said it out.

Wang Shen, who betrayed Cao Mao with him, was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. Even after the defeat, his family was preserved, but he was not relegated. He was only relegated to the governor of Qingzhou.

And after Wang Ye became a marquis, there was nothing...

This kind of treatment naturally made him a little anxious, so he worked harder to curry favor with Sima Yan.

Jia Chong, Shi Bao, and Xun Xu all stared at this young and bold junior with strange eyes.

Now that the window paper was punctured, Sima Yan had no choice but to respond, "Let Lu Qin station his troops in Xuzhou, transfer Anton General Sima Jun as the governor of Huaibei, and contain Zhong Hui."
