contend

Chapter 712 Upheaval
On July [-]th of the second year of Huangwu, there was a battle between Jin and Wu in Hefei.

Wu Jun took the lead in launching an assault, but Sima Yan's foothold was not stable, causing many casualties.

The three armies of Sima Jun, Lu Qin, and Wang Yi attacked together, and they were able to block the Wu army's advance.

The two armies fought fiercely in Feishui. Although the Jin army was numerous, the Wu army was sharp, relying on the water army, and had a faint advantage.

Ding Feng led the battlefield to rampage in Feishui, responding to Sun Hao on the shore.

When it was difficult to solve, Wu Dasi Martin's boat suddenly capsized and died in Feishui.

The morale of the Wu army plummeted, and the Jin army attacked fiercely.

Shi Bao ordered Yan Xun and Qian Hong to enter the battlefield with [-] elites each, splitting the Wu army in half, and Sun Hao was once again trapped in a tight siege, but this time he faced the elites of the Jin army and was not so easy to escape.

Breaking through repeatedly, they were all blocked back.

On the Feishui, dead bodies clogged the river, turning the river into blood.

Soldiers can step on floating corpses to cross the river.

Zhuge Liang, Ding Wen and others rescued Yan Xun and Qian Hong with their lives.

Sima Jun and Lu Qin led the army southward and completely surrounded Sun Hao to death.

Sun Hao fought fiercely for several days and couldn't escape, so he followed Ding Gu's suggestion, bound his flesh face up, and led the goat with a jade in his hand to surrender to Sima Yan.

Sun Hao's biological mother and concubine were all captured by the Jin army.

Ding Gu swung a knife and committed suicide, Zhuge Liang and Ding Wen fled back to Jiangdong.

Sima Yan ordered him to issue an edict to persuade the troops to surrender. From Hefei to Dongguan, Wu troops surrendered one after another.

The Jin army easily entered Dongguan.

Sima Yan had lingering fears in his heart, and originally planned to stop with enough. Although he defeated Sun Hao, the Jin army suffered heavy casualties.

Jia Chong persuaded: "The people of Wu are panic-stricken. Your Majesty can embrace Sun Hao and enter Jianye. The achievements of the ages are just around the corner!"

Sima Jun also advised, "The people of Wu have already lost their courage, so don't let them take a breather. If Jianye establishes a new king, with veteran generals such as Lu Kang outside and famous ministers such as Meng Zong and Lu Kai inside, the national strength will be restored after a few years. "

Sima Yan followed his words, and the army marched southward to Ruxushui.

Jiangdong was terrified, rumors of national subjugation were rampant, and some gentry and common people moved to Lingnan with their families.

Jingzhou Lu Kang ordered Zuo Yi and Wu Yan to lead an army of [-] to help Jianye. Xiakou Governor Teng Mu, Chaisang Governor Wu Yan, and Cangwu Governor Tao Huang led troops to help Jianye.

But far away can't quench near thirst.

There was even a proposal to move the capital in Jianye City, in order to temporarily avoid the edge of the Jin army, and wait for the confluence of the armies before counterattacking Jianye.

Some people think that Jiangdong is undefendable, and even Sun Hao has surrendered, so it is better to surrender to Jin State without losing wealth.

Jiangdong is a scene of doomsday.

The chaos of people's hearts completely exceeded Lu Kai's expectations.

"At this time, the crown prince should be established as emperor to stabilize people's hearts!" Meng Ren made a decisive decision.

The candidate in Lu Kai's mind is Sun Xiu's third son, Sun Yu, the king of Liang.

Sun Xiu's grandson was killed by Sun Hao, which also caused Lu Kai to want to establish Sun Xiu's descendants, but lacked legitimacy.

Lu Kai said: "The crown prince is young, can he inherit the great rule?"

Sun Hao was defeated and captured, and the blow to Wu's heart was immeasurable.

Even though he is a tyrant and a faint king, he is still the orthodox place of Jiangdong.

Meng Ren was promoted by Lu Xun back then, so logically he should be on Lu Kai's side, but he is more loyal to Jiangdong Sheji.

"If the prime minister establishes the king of Liang, why should he treat Zhong Shiji?"

Meng Ren awakened Lu Kai with a word.

Zhong Hui has a close relationship with the crown prince, what would he think if Sun Yu was established?
It doesn't really matter who you stand for, but if Lu Kai does this, it will be a little disrespectful to Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui is not Ding Feng, he just gives up when he says he wants to.

Once Zhong Hui's dissatisfaction is caused, the [-] elite under his command will immediately return to Jianye!
At this time, the empty Jianye has no ability to resist.

Zhong Hui was able to cook the uncooked rice until Lu Kang arrived.

"Hurry up and welcome the prince!" Lu Kai suddenly felt that he was completely at a disadvantage in the wrestling with Zhong Hui...

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Kai's ambitions are not great, and he knows very well that he can't be Sima Yi, nor can he be Zhuge Liang.

The only appeal is to maintain Jiangdong's structure as much as possible without harming the interests of the Lu family.

Sun Hao once asked Lu Kai, "How many people are there in Qing's family?"

Lu Kai replied: "Second Prime Minister, Five Marquises, and more than ten generals."

In Jiangdong, there are allusions of Gan Ning's luxury and Lu Kai's prosperity.

In the eyes of many gentry, the interests of the family are of course above the country.

Moisturize mouth.

The Jin army rushed in like a tide, the banners covered the Ruxu waterway, the armor filled the mountains and fields, and the swords and spears were as endless as reeds.

Its imposing manner seems to return to the time when Sima Yi swept Liaodong.

After the baptism of this battle, many Jin troops who were not originally elite have also become elite.

Sima Yan was even more energetic than ever.

His achievements have surpassed those of his parents.

"Wu Jun in the city, listen, those who follow the sky will prosper, and those who go against the sky will perish. Jiangdong has become the land of Jin Dynasty. Those who surrender will not lose the reward of being a marquis. Those who resist the king's teacher will destroy the three tribes!"

Hundreds of cavalry galloped back and forth around the city.

Zhong Hui was calm on the tower, and the defenders in the city were also calm.

The army in Ruxu City is not [-], but more than [-]!

After incorporating Hefei's rout, Zhong Hui grew rapidly and became the most powerful force in Soochow.

Even Lu Kang, who was stationed in Jingzhou, was not as good at this time.

After a national calamity, there must be a feast.

"Back then, Sun Hao promised to divide Soochow equally. The current situation is just as it should be! The city can be garrisoned by the child. Why doesn't my father lead the army back to Jianye? The great cause is in sight!" Rao Zhong Yi, who has always been calm, can Can't help getting excited.

He didn't know exactly what Zhong Hui did, but he knew that this war was developing in the direction that was most beneficial to the Zhong family.

Looking at Jiangdong, Zhong Hui is the only force that can resist Sima Yan's drive.

The eyes of Jiang Bin and Jiang Shu were also sparkling.

If they had doubts about Zhonghui before, now they are all cast down.

He survived the desperate situation again and again, and Jiang Dong was about to fall into his pocket.

Zhong Hui shook his head and said: "Knowing the male and guarding the female is the creek of the world. Knowing the white and guarding the black is the way of the world. If you fight with swords and soldiers, the Wu army was defeated in Yiyang back then, so a certain one could take Sun Hao and die. Commanding Jiangdong, the reason why I don't do it is because of the people's hearts! In this battle, if I try my best to turn the tide, is there anyone in Jiangdong who can stop me?"

Both Jiang Bin and Zhong Yi were amazed.

What Zhonghui wants to fight is not weapons, but people's hearts.

After so many years of planning for a rainy day, the effect is remarkable.

Sometimes Zhong Hui himself feels that he has the potential to become Zhuge Wuhou.

Unfortunately, Jiangdong does not have a monarch like Liu Chan.

"Listen to the defenders of the city, your lord, Sun Hao, has surrendered to the Great Jin, surrender quickly, otherwise no one will be left behind when the city breaks!"

The city is clamoring again.

Zhong Hui laughed loudly, "Young Sima is so arrogant, come and set up my banner!"

On Ruxu City, a banner with the word "bell" stands up.

This word seems to have some kind of magical power. After it was erected, the horses of the cavalry under the city suddenly neighed in shock.

The arrogance of the Jin army was stifled.

Zhong Hui stood in front of the city tower with his hands behind his back, and shouted in Dasheng: "My nephew, An Shi, are you safe?"

Thousands of soldiers also shouted: "My nephew, Anshi, are you here all right?"

The roar soared into the sky...
