contend

Chapter 708
In the twelfth month of the first year of Wusun Hao Baoding, Taishi Zuo has been cloudy for a long time, and there will be conspiracy.Sun Hao was terrified.At that time, Lu Kai and others planned to abolish it because of their visit to the temple.When it was time to go out, Liu Ping led the troops to advance, and Kai Xian said Ping, and Ping refused, so it failed.Hao was rampant, and his followers had many different plans, and finally fell to his death.

——Book of Jin and Five Elements.

After Ding Feng left, Lu Kai stayed alone, chatting with Zhong Hui without saying a word.

When Zhong Hui was in Luoyang, he was the leader of metaphysics, and his ability of clear talk was unmatched.

Of course Lu Kai was no match.

However, the secret conversation between the two is naturally not for the sake of clear talk.

Sun Hao's 10,000+ army is going north, and as the left and right prime ministers, it is inevitable that he will have other ideas.

Lu Kai couldn't figure out what Zhong Hui was thinking, so he simply pointed it out: "What do Shi Ji think of your majesty's victory in this battle?"

The bell will not leak water, "with your majesty's wisdom and martial arts, you will return with a big victory!"

During Sun Hao's Northern Expedition, the power of the middle school fell into the hands of Lu Kai, Zhong Hui, and Ding Feng.

"Why did Shi Ji deceive me? Your Majesty will definitely lose this time! There is a saying in the art of war, before thinking about victory, think about defeat. If this battle is lost, Sima Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops will come down with one wave, Jiangdong will be safe?" Lu Lu With a flash of eyes, Kai stared at Zhong Huidao.

Zhong Hui looked worried, "It's just as Duke Lu said!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Hui still refused to let go, and Lu Kai said again: "I don't know what Shi Ji can do to protect Jiangdong?"

Zhong Hui also stared at Lu Kai, "If Shouchun is defeated, Hefei will be lost. The safety of Jiangdong depends on Dongguan."

"If the East Gate is undefendable, what should we do?" Lu Kai leaned forward slightly, his hand holding the table turned white due to excessive force.

The two were already discussing the situation in Jiangdong after Sun Hao's defeat.

Dongguan is not a majestic pass where one man is the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. It has changed hands in the past.

Sun Hao was defeated, the chaotic army attacked, morale was low, and the hearts of the people were confused. Dongguan might not be able to hold.

Zhong Hui stood up from the slump, and cupped his hands at Lu Kai, "I wish to lead the headquarters of 4 people to defend Ruxu City!"

In the fourth year of Huangchu, Wei Da Sima Cao Ren led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Ruxu. At that time, Zhu Huan, the defender of Ruxu City, had only [-] troops, but he defeated Cao Ren's tens of thousands of troops.

Before there was Dongguan, Ruxu City was the focus of Jiangdong's defense.

Lu Kai's eyes flickered, the strength of the Jiangdong armies, even Lu Kang and Ding Feng's trilogy may not be comparable to Zhong Hui's trilogy.

They rolled out from the sea of ​​swords and blood all the way in the north.

Lu Kang has too many troops and has not yet fully surrendered. Ding Feng is already old, and the wild boars broke through the camp last time...

It is almost the consensus of the Jiangdong gentry that Sun Hao will be defeated.

Lu Kai once made twelve memorials in a row, pointing out Chen Sun Hao's failure in government, persuading him to get close to Yao Xin, Lou Xuan, He Shao, Zhang Ti, Guo Wei, Xue Ying, Teng Xiu and other virtuous officials, and punishing He Ding, Cen Hun and others. A treacherous eunuch, the sincerity of his words is no less than that of Zhuge Wuhou.

For a time, Sun Hao couldn't come down to the stage.

However, Sun Hao is not Liu Chan after all, he has been tolerant of Lu Kang's command of troops in Jingzhou.

Sun Hao acted perversely and cruelly, which finally made Lu Kai, Ding Feng, Ding Gu and others despair.

In December last year, Lu Kai, Ding Feng, and Ding Gu had intentionally contacted Liuping to abolish Sun Hao, and made the son of the late emperor Sun Xiu the emperor.

But Liu Ping didn't agree, and Ding Feng didn't want to stand out, so the matter was left alone.

Zhong Hui knows everything well, but keeps pretending that he doesn't know anything.

until today.

The eyes of the two met, and Lu Kai's eyes were full of hesitation. He knew very well that after Zhong Hui got back the [-] pieces, no one in Jiangdong could stop him. Do not rely on Zhonghui.

The fate of Wu country is in Lu Kai's thought.

Zhong Hui's gaze is calm and calm.

"You can't live without a man in the middle of the country. This matter can be discussed in another day." Lu Kai did not let go of his mouth after all.

"What Lu Gong said is true." Zhong Hui was not impatient.

This is just the first confrontation.

After leaving, Zhong Hui paid a visit to the crown prince Sun Jin again, and talked about the strange things in the countryside, which caused the six or seven-year-old prince to laugh and laugh.

The relationship between the two has also rapidly drawn closer...

Part of the Hefei garrison is Wu Jun who went north, and the other part is the trilogy left by Zhong Hui.

Sun Hao originally stayed in Hefei, watching Zhuge Liang and Ding Wen go north.

I didn't expect it to go well, which was a bit unexpected.

The important towns near Shouchun City were captured one by one.

The Wu army occupied all important military sites and cut off Shouchun's connection with Huaibei.

Shouchun became an isolated city.

Sun Hao immediately swung his army northward, intending to attack Shouchun by force.

Ding Gu remonstrated: "Sima and his son have always been treacherous. Our army is so successful, it must be Sima Yan's trick to lure the enemy. Hefei is strong, and your majesty can defend it by itself. I will attack Shouchun for your majesty."

Although they were marching and fighting, Sun Hao brought his concubine and drank and had sex every day, which made the soldiers unwilling to fight.

Therefore, Ding Gu really didn't want him to come to the front in person, making Wu Jun a mess and demoralized.

But Sun Hao didn't have the slightest self-knowledge, "This statement is wrong. Sima Yan's army has just left Luoyang, and it is still far away from Shouchun. Our army is going all out to attack Shouchun before the reinforcements arrive, and then fight Sima Yan across the Huai River. I have a navy in hand, so why be afraid of the Central Plains infantry? And the frontline soldiers, seeing me in person, will surely boost their morale!"

The truth is such a truth, it makes Ding Guzhi feel a little funny to say it from Sun Hao's mouth...

With a sigh in my heart, I dare not persuade again.

Sun Hao happily took his concubine and his biological mother to the north and arrived at the city of Shouchun.

Immediately ordered more than [-] Wu troops to launch a fierce attack.

At that time, Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops could not attack Shouchun, let alone Wu Jun.

Wu Jun has always had little interest in the Northern Expedition, and they were all forcibly driven by Sun Hao. Even generals such as Ding Gu and Zhuge Liang actually opposed the Northern Expedition.

But Sun Hao didn't care about it, and was determined to avenge Yi Yang.

Seeing Sun Hao's banner, not only did morale not "rise", but it became low.

In addition, Shouchun City is indeed strong, and the guard of Shouchun is the experienced Wang Yi. The Wu army lacks siege equipment, and there are many casualties.

However, Sun Hao couldn't see the casualties of soldiers.

After personally supervising with a bow and arrow, he shot and killed Wu soldiers at will.

The hearts of the people are terrified, and the siege of the city is getting worse.

Zhuge Liang also tactfully advised Sun Hao to be happy with He Fei and his concubine, but Sun Hao ignored it.

For half a month, Shouchun City remained motionless.

Wu Jun's vigor and morale were exhausted, and people kept fleeing.

Sun Hao "supervised the battle" for a few days, but was not interested, so he and his concubine got up in the camp to have a good time.

The scouts traveled across the Huai River every day, bringing bad news one after another.

Lu Qin and Sima Jun led an army of [-] troops to the Huai River, but failed to do so.

Sima Yan's 15 Chinese army went south to Yiyang, threatening the flanks of Jiang Xia and Wu Jun.

Zhuge Liang and Ding Wen, seeing that the situation was not good, persuaded Sun Hao to retreat.

Now it is not whether Shouchun can be captured, but how to withdraw the army.

At this time, Sun Hao was drunk, and when he saw Ding Wen, he thought of Ding Feng, and pulled out his knife to peel Ding Wen's face.

Although Zhuge Liang stopped him desperately, Ding Wen was still stabbed in the face, bleeding profusely.
