contend

Chapter 788 Proud
The Qin army captured Luoyang, and the pressure naturally came to Sima Yan's side.

Sima Yan beheaded Wang Jun's proton Wang Ju to vent his hatred.

There were endless quarrels in the courtroom.

Scholars led by Wang Xiang, Yang Xiu, and Xun Xu certainly did not want to see their hometowns being copied.

However, the Hebei scholars headed by Shi Bao advocated holding back the troops and focusing on Yecheng. As long as Yecheng is defended, there is hope for a comeback.

Some people even suggested that Qing Xu should be let out altogether, and Qin Wu should go to the dog to bite the dog.

If Sima Yan really cared about these gentry, he would not have moved his capital to Yecheng.

Watching the quarrel in the hall with cold eyes, but thinking about another thing in his mind.

The confidant Sima You died of a "severe illness", and there was no voice in the court to stand up for the "Emperor's Brother". Everyone united and went to the national calamity together.

After Jia Chong was promoted to Sikong, he became more honest.

Sikong of the Sima family is a terrible position. When Jia Chong went south to Shouchun, Zhuge Dan was promoted to Sikong according to Sima Zhao's intention.

When Shi Bao flirted with Soochow, he was also brought back to the court by Sima Zhao to take up the post of Sikong.

It wasn't that Sima Yan didn't want to touch Jia Chong, but that he couldn't.

Jia Chong has been cultivating the court of the Jin Dynasty for so many years, and has long formed a force, and even the Queen Yang often pleads for him.

As for the Eastern Expedition of the Qin Thieves, although the momentum was huge, Sima Yan was not too worried.

If you keep Hebei, you still have a chance.

At least Yecheng is safe. The city is high and deep, with sufficient troops, a large amount of food and grass reserves, and the whole of Hebei as backup. Sima Yan is somewhat looking forward to fighting the Qin army under Yecheng.

"Since Bandit Yang stationed troops in Luoyang, the old minister suggested that General Zhengbei lead Hong to unite with the three tribes of Xianbei, and immediately attack Daijun to divide the bandit Yang!" Shi Bao's deep voice interrupted Sima Yan's meditation.

"Sure!" Sima Yan agreed without thinking.

"Qingzhou is the flank of Hebei. I suggest that General Wang Hun be dispatched to the south with [-] cavalry, to supervise the Qing and Yan forces, and then to send Xu Yang and Lu Qin to the north. The two armies will attack and hold back Wang Jun's troops."

"Sure!" Sima Yan gritted his teeth.

It was in vain that he valued Wang Jun so much, but Wang Jun surrendered without a fight. It's a pity that Wang Jun only has one son in Yecheng, otherwise the Wang family would have tasted the ancestral skills of the Sima family!

"I am willing to go to Zhonghui as an envoy to provoke a war between Qin and Wu." Xun Xu volunteered.

A gleam flashed across Sima Yan's eyes. After the capital was moved to Yecheng, the Yingchuan gentry was the most unhappy. They used to be in Luoyang, they could reach out, but now they are far away in Hebei, separated from Yingchuan.

It's not that Sima Yan didn't know about the secret communication between the Yingchuan gentry and Du Yu before, but for the sake of the overall situation, they all endured it.

Now that Xun Xu is going south, isn't it because the meat buns beat the dogs and never return?
"The great war is about to start, and I cannot do without Shizhong Xun. As for the mission, it is enough to send a small official. Why do you need Shizhong to go in person?" Sima Yan said.

"Your Majesty loves me so much, I am so grateful." Xun Xu didn't dare to say more.

"Zhong Hui is cunning and resourceful. I'm afraid that ordinary officials won't be able to make things happen. I have the courage to make it happen!" Jia Chong cupped his hands.

"Oh?" Sima Yan was slightly surprised.

Jia Chong and Zhong Hui were at odds with each other, and everyone in the world knew that if he was sent as an envoy to the Wu army, he would die sooner.

"Zhong Hui has great ambitions. How can he be satisfied with the land of Yingchuan? He will definitely fight against the Qin rebels. I will act according to circumstances. If it succeeds, I will work with General Zhengbei to contain the Qin rebels' army from the north to the south so that they cannot attack Yecheng with all their strength. If things fail, I would like to die by Zhong Hui's sword!" Jia Chong had a tragic expression on his face.

Sima Yan couldn't help being moved, and suddenly remembered that his Sima family was able to have what it is today, thanks to Jia Chong who stopped Cao Mao.

If Cao Mao rushed into the General's Mansion and met Sima Zhao face to face, the Sima family's reputation would be ten times worse than it is now.

"Jia Sikong is really a national scholar!" Feng Wei said with a fake smile.

But after Jia Chong returned a cold look, Feng Wei's smile froze on his face.

Sima Yan stared at Jia Chong, "Sikong has such determination, this trip is bound to be a success!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jia Chong bowed his hands.

Xun Xu watched coldly, and naturally knew what he was thinking, and it was nothing more than self-help.

Sima Yan's appointment of him as Sikong was like a signal that Jia Chong became the target of public criticism. If he stayed in Yecheng, he would be attacked by a crowd. Feng Zhen's ridicule was just the beginning. In the past, Feng Zhen was in front of Jia Chong Don't even dare to put a fart.

But it is not a bad thing for Jia Chong to go south to persuade Zhong Hui.

As long as Zhong Hui is not stupid, he will definitely find an opportunity to stab Qin Jun...

At this moment, Zhong Hui has taken Ruyang without bloodshed, and is less than two hundred miles away from Xuchang.

The nearby cities surrendered one after another with the cooperation of the Yingchuan gentry.

Wu Jun gained momentum.

Since the founding of the country, the march has never been so smooth.

"As expected of Yang Xingyun, he can bend and stretch, but since he dare not come to Xuchang to meet him, he must be afraid of me." Zhong Hui threw down the silk and looked north, full of ambition.

He will go round and round, and finally returned to the Central Plains!

There are 20 people under his command, plus the reinforcements from the powerful Yingchuan gentry, there are 25 people.

In the Chibi War, Cao Cao only had so many troops.

Now Yang Zheng takes a step back, of course he has to go further, it is human nature to make progress.

Of course one Yuzhou is not enough.

25 people are enough to sweep the Central Plains.

"Xuchang is the land of the Four Wars. There is Luoyang in the north, Wancheng in the west, Xinye in the south, and Shouchun in the east. It is easy to attack but difficult to defend. The Prime Minister made preparations quite early." Jiang Bin remonstrated.

"The land of the Four Wars can only be aggressive on all sides!" Zhong Hui said with a smile.

This march was really smooth, except for the slight resistance in Dongguan and Hefei, it was basically resolved, as if entering a land of no one.

This also created an illusion for Wu Jun, maybe he can win the entire Central Plains?

Even Zhong Hui thinks so.

Yang Zheng's concession made him even more convinced of this, and he finally let out a breath of anger.

"Could it be that the prime minister really wants to take food from the tiger's mouth?" The preparation Jiang Bin said was for Zhong Hui to strengthen his defense, not for him to break with the Qin army.

"The Great War between Qin and Jin is my time!" Zhong Hui's eyes flashed with uncontrollable ambition, "I have Yingchuan, like a fish in water, like a dragon in an abyss, can Yang Xingyun control me? There must be a battle between Qin and Wu, it should be sooner rather than later Late!"

The reason is very simple, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and Zhong Hui will naturally know it too.

The peace between Qin and Wu is only temporary.

Jiang Bin nodded and said, "It's still the prime minister who thinks deeply."

Judging from the current situation, taking Yuzhou is basically a certainty. After that, the Shunying River will flow southeast, and the Huai River will be completely owned by Zhonghui.

With this credit, returning to Jianye's expectations, we can justifiably take a step forward.

Jiang Bin was full of expectations.

Isn't that why the head is pinned to the belt of the trousers for so many years?
"What's happening with Du Yu in Xinye?" Du Yu was also someone Zhong Hui feared.

Originally, Zhonghui admired Du Yu greatly, exchanged letters, and talked about classics and history books, but the envoy came back and said that Du Yu had a big neck and an ordinary appearance. Zhonghui's enthusiasm for Du Yu soon disappeared, and the letters were cut off.

"Du Yu's troops went north to Wancheng, as if they were guarding against our army!"

"This man's use of troops has the chance of ghosts and gods. He is my lifelong enemy. Don't be careless. Send orders and follow the same path. Send out all the scouts. Don't be negligent."

"only!"
