Chapter 701 Competing ([-])

"As expected of Lu Youjie!" Zhong Hui closed the battle report, put it in front of his nose to smell, closed his eyes, and looked intoxicated.

This action caused Zhong Yi to have pimples all over his body, coughed twice, "Father..."

I can't say the word "self-respect" in the back.

Zhong Hui opened his eyes, "The Battle of Xiling won Jiangdong at least ten years, and it also won a chance for you and my father and son."

Zhong Yi was puzzled, "Why did father say such a thing?"

Zhong Hui smiled treacherously, and stretched out his hand to flap his wings, "Your Majesty is young and energetic, so won such a big victory, wouldn't you jump up?"

Those who are headstrong will always aim high.

Sun Hao would jump into the sky when he was free. Now that Xiling has won a big victory and the crisis in the west is gone, how can he remain indifferent?
Yiyang suffered a disastrous defeat, and Sun Hao was almost captured alive by Jia Chong. He always remembered it as a great shame and humiliation in his life, and he often wanted to personally lead the army to avenge his revenge.

Zhong Hui is Sun Hao's close minister, so he knows what he's thinking.

"Do you know why you gave up Shouchun and stayed in Hefei for your father?"

"I'm dull." Zhong Yi's intelligence is not bad, and he knows what Zhong Hui means in his heart, but he deliberately doesn't make it clear, so as to give Zhong Hui room to play.

With such a father, it is not a good thing for a son to be too smart.

What's more, Zhong Yi is just Zhong Hui's adopted son.

But being too unintelligent is not a good thing.

The first adopted son Zhong Yong was given to Sima Zhao as a hostage.

Zhong Yi was also abandoned by Zhong Hui in Shouchun.

He was almost captured and killed by Yang Hu, but it was he who fought his life to break out of the siege.

"Whoever wins Long, must hope for Shu! Those who win Hefei must hope for Shouchun!" Zhong Hui said complacently.

"Father wants to emulate Sima Yi's old affairs in Yongliang? Support the army and respect yourself?"

Wu Guokan is handsome, only Ding Feng and Lu Kang.

But Ding Feng was old, and Sun Hao was worried about him. After all, his prestige in Wu was too high. It would be easy for him to change his clan to sit on the throne with a wave of his arms.

Lu Kang is the governor of Jingzhou, and it is impossible to attack Shouchun again.

So the best candidate can only be Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui was originally the governor of Yangzhou and Huaibei, knowing himself and the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Hui shook his head, "You're half right. As a father, you really have to emulate Sima Yi, but you don't want to emulate Sima Yi."

Zhong Yi's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly thought that since Zhong Hui entered Jiangdong, every step he took was not imitating Sima Yi?

Mingled with the Jiangdong gentry and secretly made friends.

Writing articles to accumulate reputation, attracting disciples, and secretly recruiting dead soldiers...

There are too many places Sima Yi can emulate, he is simply a model for careerists...

Zhong Hui just copied it.

In fact, what Zhong Hui did was exactly that.

Step by step, the vigilance of the Jiangdong gentry was lowered.

His articles set himself up as a model of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, setting up many personalities.

"Father's reputation in Jiangdong is getting better and better, but the Zhong family has no foundation in Jiangdong after all, so we should take it slowly." Zhong Yi has a stable temperament and has inherited Zhong Yu's advantages.

It is not bad for the Zhong family to spread branches and leaves in Jiangdong.

But Zhong Hui's ambition is not limited to this, he shook his head, "No, the unification of the world is the general trend, and there is no time to slowly plan it. The ambition of my father's life is to drive hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sweep the world, and fight with the world." When all the heroes compete for the top, how can they be depressed and stay under Huangkou Lizi for a long time?"

Zhong Yi cupped his hands.

As Chung would have predicted.

After the Battle of Xiling, Sun Hao flew into the air.

He thinks that Wenzhiwugong is far superior to the previous generation.

Sun Hao is extremely superstitious, and often determines state affairs based on fortune, hope, divination, and prophecy.

After the Xiling victory, let Shang Guang divination the ownership of the world.

Of course, the diviner followed his will and made a random divination, using the "Yi" in "Tongren" to explain it, "Auspicious, at the age of Gengzi, Qing Gai will enter Luoyang."

Sun Hao was overjoyed, thinking that he would take over Luoyang and reward the fortune tellers.

Just at this time, Poyang is auspicious, and the stone texture of Liyang Mountain is naturally written, with a total of [-] characters: "Chu Jiuzhou Zhu, Wu Jiuzhou Capital, Yangzhou Scholars, as the Son of Heaven, ruled by four generations, and the beginning of Taiping".

This obviously means that Sun Hao wants to dominate the world.

The wild horse in my heart couldn't be tied anymore, so I wanted to spy on Qin Jin.

However, Qin State is too far away, looking around, Xiangyang is too tired to attack, and Jin State has hoarded heavy troops in Xiangyang and Xinye, making it difficult to accomplish anything.

Going north from Wuchang, Yiyang suffered another defeat.

So it can only be Shouchun.

Thinking of Shouchun, Sun Hao felt itchy, and the temptation to win Shouchun's full possession of Huai Shui was too great.

Do whatever comes to mind, Sun Hao has always acted vigorously and resolutely.

The courtiers were all afraid of being killed by him, and they dared not speak.

It happened that Ding Feng was in Jingzhou and had not yet returned to the dynasty.

Just when Sun Hao was in high spirits, Zhong Hui said, "I think it is impossible. Although the general of the town army defeated the Jin army, our army also suffered heavy losses. The soldiers are tired of fighting and the people are suffering. At this time, we should comfort the people and persuade them to fight." Learn about farming and mulberry, cultivate national power, and wait for the East-West war in the future, and your Majesty will lead the army northward, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

After killing so many courtiers, there are not many people who dare to speak out.

Even Lu Kai is wise to protect himself.

Zhong Hui's position in everyone's hearts jumped again.

Sun Hao said displeasedly: "I already know the meaning of loving you, but the morale of our army is high at this time. Shouchun has gone through many battles without a rest, and the energy of the Jin army is in Jingzhou. Sending troops at this time will definitely make the northerners come back." Caught off guard."

Zhong Hui suddenly snatched the ground with his head, and kowtowed his head in a "bang bang", "I have nowhere to go, I have to meet your majesty, so I can have a place to live, and I will repay him with my life, loyal words are like a stick in my throat, I can't say it quickly, the Central Plains is strong, Jiangdong is empty Tired, if a small country invades a big country, if it wins, it will not be enough to gain its benefits; if it loses, it will be in danger of being overthrown. The Shu Kingdom is not far away. May Your Majesty stop the courage of the overlord, stop the military and stop the army, cultivate the national strength, ten years of birth and ten years of lessons , but only then can we compete in the world.”

With a "click", the wooden board in the hall was smashed by Zhong Hui's head.

But the sawdust also pierced his forehead, and the blood flowed profusely.

The hall became very quiet.

Zhong Hui's crazily self-mutilation shocked everyone.

People who used to doubt Zhonghui have now all admired him.

Thinking about it, the Zhong family has no roots in Jiangdong, and Zhong Hui's trilogy stays in Chaisang, so the threat to Jiangdong is pitifully small.

His words are also the thoughts in the hearts of many soldiers. We, Jiangdong, can stay on our own land with peace of mind, what are we doing?
Since the founding of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, all those who have made troubles, from Sun Ce to Sun Quan, Zhuge Ke, Sun Chen, etc., which one has succeeded?

Before he knew it, Zhong Hui became the spokesperson of the Jiangdong gentry.

Sun Hao was also taken aback by Zhong Hui at first, feeling baffled, why should he risk his life so much?

But later, I realized the meaning of the words, "If you follow what Prime Minister You said, wouldn't I have to wait for 20 years? Wouldn't I have to wait for my hair to grow old?"

He couldn't wait a day.

"In 20 years, Jiangdong will compete with the Northern Kingdom for the national power of the world!" Zhong Hui was about to knock a few more times, but when he saw the raised wooden thorns, he felt terrified.

Everything should be done in moderation.

"I can't wait!" Sun Hao stood up from the throne and shouted at the officials.

"The war in Jingzhou is coming to an end, how can we raise troops at this time? Your Majesty might as well wait for the general to return before making a decision." Finally, Sikong Mengren couldn't stand it anymore and came up with a plan to delay the army.

Meng Ren was a veteran of the Four Dynasties. His original name was Meng Zong.

"Retire!" Sun Hao gave Zhong Hui a hard look.

The clock will touch the ground with its head.
