contend

"What do you think Qin and Jin will win?" Zhong Hui said with a smile.

"What does the Prime Minister think?" Xun Xu had a bad relationship with Zhong Hui since he was a child.

Xun Xu's mother, Zhong's family, is Zhong Hui's cousin, and the two are nephews, but this "prime minister" has already pushed Zhong Hui away.

Zhong Hui also looked embarrassed.

In the end, he still owed Xun Xu, "Oh, why is Gong Zeng so stingy? It's just a sword, and it's back to you today."

As he spoke, he borrowed the Yitian Sword from his waist and handed it to Xun Xu.

Since entering Jiangdong, Zhong Hui has been inseparable from this sword, even sleeping with it.

Xun Xu took the sword, and his expression softened a lot. It wasn't the sword's problem. Showing off in front of others made Xun Xu lose face.

Pulling out the sword, seeing the sawtooth-like blade, Xun Xu's face collapsed again, "The prime minister is indeed as treacherous as before!"

Zhong Hui smiled knowingly and asked, "Why did you say that? Could it be that the love between you and me is not as good as a broken sword?"

Xun Xu is also a man of far-reaching intellect, but for some reason he gets angry when he sees Zhong Hui. After all these years, Zhong Hui is still like this.

But it was his uncle who forcibly swallowed his anger back, "Zhong and Xun belong to two countries, and personal affection is not as good as the righteousness of the country."

Zhong Hui suddenly stopped laughing, and solemnly withdrew the topic back to the Qin-Jin War, and answered Xun Xu's original question, "I thought Sima Yan would be defeated!"

Xun Xu kept his sword still on the soft bed, "I would like to hear more about it!"

"If Sima Yan has a chance of winning, why did Gong Zeng avoid disasters in Jiangdong and not return?" Zhong Hui rolled up his mouth and explained Xun Xu's thoughts.

In other words, the entire Yingchuan gentry was not very optimistic about this battle.

Xun Xu's temper was still worse than that of Zhong Hui, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Although he restrained himself in time, Zhong Hui still saw it.

"Firstly, secondly, Jia Chong, Chen Qian, Shi Bao and others around Sima Yan have their own selfishness, and they cannot share the same hatred, and the wisdom of the three is not as good as that of Du Yu, Wei Guan, and Lu Zhi. Thirdly, Sima Yan His courage is not as good as that of Yang Zheng. The Jin army has been exhausted after years of fighting, while the Qin army has recharged its energy. Fourth, the victorious places in Taiyuan, Daijun, and Shangyong are all in the hands of the Qin army. How can Sima Yan resist?"

Xun Xu was unmoved on the surface, but in fact he was amazed in his heart.

Zhong Hui knew Luoyang's rulers and ministers well, and he also had a very clear view of the world situation.

This is also one of the reasons why Xun Xu met the bell.

The East-West War is also a hurdle for the Central Plains gentry.

"So the Prime Minister thinks what the situation in the world will be like in the future?"

"The people in the Central Plains are prosperous and the country is powerful. Yang Zheng can't eat it in one bite. If there are no accidents, the Yingchuan gentry can survive for four or five years." Zhong Hui smiled.

"The Prime Minister values ​​Qin State too much. Even if you defeat Your Majesty, how can the Qin army set foot in the Central Plains without the support of the nobles in the Central Plains?" Maybe it was Zhong Hui's always arrogant expression that slightly angered Xun Xu.

"Allowed by the gentry of the Central Plains?" Zhong Hui suddenly burst into laughter.

Tears of laughter came out.

Xun Xu's face became more and more gloomy.

This piercing laughter seemed to be mocking him and the Yingchuan nobles behind him.

"Didn't the princes of Yingchuan see that once the Qin army entered the Guanzhong, there would be no room for the nobles? What is the land equalization system? What is the government military system? What is the imperial examination?" Zhong Hui asked a series of questions, Xun Xu's question was directly confused.

Beads of sweat slid down his face one by one.

In the weather in May, Jianye has already had a sweltering heat.

The Juntian system broke the roots of the gentry, the Fubing system removed the military power of the gentry, and the imperial examination went straight to the power of the gentry.

It is no surprise that the Qin State wantonly used the poor and common people.

Even the Qiang Hu, whom the gentry had always looked down upon, was able to serve as a general in the Qin army.

Zhong Hui looked at Xun Xu condescendingly, "Yang Zheng, the greedy wolf in the world, how can you allow the nobles like you to share the world? In my opinion, it's better to go south to Jiangdong and help me. In the future, Yang Zheng and Sima Yan will suffer from both sides. Hundreds of thousands of Wu troops marched northward and swept half of the Central Plains, so they might not be able to stand against Yang Xingyun!"

Xun Xu sneered, "The prime minister's ambition is not inferior to Yang Zheng! There is the Lu family in Jiangdong, how can the prime minister compete with him?"

Zhong Hui waved his sleeves, and said to himself: "The best kindness is like water. Water benefits all things without competing, and the husband does not compete, so the world can't compete with it! The right time, place, people and harmony are all in my hands. Can Lu's An compete with me?"

Xun Xu was a little resigned, but also a little disgusted with his arrogance. He cupped his hands and said, "I've been bothering you for a long time. Let's talk about it another day. Let's say goodbye."

Lin Jin.

"Your Majesty, General Wei has crossed the Yellow River and has captured Puban!" The scout sent back a good news.

The other generals in the tent looked strange.

Tang Bin stationed heavy troops in Puban, and Pang Hui took down Puban so quickly with 1 people. Is Tang Bin too weak, or Pang Hui too strong?
But having said that, Pang Hui's first role has already been played.

After taking Puban, the gate of Hedong will be opened, and even the gate of Central Plains will be opened.

"There is a report from General Wei." The scout took out a letter.

Lin Sen took it, checked it and handed it to Yang Zheng.

"The minister will say, His Majesty Lai Longwei, the soldiers have used their lives, Puban has been defeated, and Tang Bin retreated to Anyi. The minister thought that His Majesty would send out a large army. First, he took the east of the river into his pocket, and then confronted Sima Yan, looking for a gap. , or sweeping the Shangdang with partial divisions, or riding iron cavalry into Hebei, are all the best strategies, and this opportunity must not be missed, may Your Majesty advance quickly!"

Yang Zheng handed the letter to Wei Guan, "Is there any news about Chen Qian, Hongnong Wang Jun, and Shangdang Liu Hong?"

Although Puban was taken down, Hedong looked like a pit no matter how it looked.

Now in May, the Yellow River is full of water.

It was easy in the past, but it is difficult to go back.

Pang Hui was also well-intentioned.

Yang Zheng knew everything about this old boss. He had a rough appearance, no great wisdom, but a lot of small thoughts.

Maybe he never saw himself.

This is easy to understand, human nature is like this.

Pang Hui will always have a thorn in his heart when the subordinate who was once despised becomes the emperor.

Xiahouba was much smarter, he quit voluntarily, retired in Chengdu, maintained his health, went hunting, and now he is alive and well.

Zhao Aqi cupped his hands and said, "Chen Qian's [-] troops gathered in Hu County, Wang Jun's [-] troops gathered at Fengling Ferry, and Liu Hong's [-] cavalry were ready to go."

"It seems that the Jin thieves set the battlefield in Anyi." Yang Zheng glanced at the people in the tent.

Meng Yu, Wei Guan, Wen Yang, Ma Xun, Liu Heng, Wen Hu, Huang Fukai and so on.

Everyone has an excited look on their faces.

Maybe they waited too long for this day.

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the victory!"

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard, sweeping the east of the river and breaking through Anyi!" Meng Yu said as he came out.

"The final general is willing to lead an army southward, defeat Wang Jun first, and then attack Chen Qian!" Wen Yang and Wen Hu stood up.

Liu Heng also stood up and touched the back of his head, but he didn't know where to hit.

Wenyang and Mengyu have been divided up.

"Don't be impatient, everyone. Isn't Sima Yan enough to chop off the heads of hundreds of thousands of rebels? I taught Sima Zhao a lesson a few years ago, and now I can still teach his son a lesson, pass on my order, and cross the river!" Yang Zheng said solemnly. soundtrack.

Since he dared to release the bait, he was not afraid of his betrayal.
