According to Sima Yan's meaning, now that Hanoi County has been recovered, the situation in the entire Hebei has developed in a good direction, and the Jin State has finally breathed a sigh of relief under heavy oppression, and now the most urgent task is to deal with the traitor Zhong Hui who is far away from Jingzhou.

Therefore, Sima Yan gave an order to Yanghu, asking him to divide half of his troops to garrison Hanoi, and lead half of his troops south to meet Du Yu to eliminate Zhonghui.

The minister sent by Sima Yan was Shangshu Zuo servant Liu Yi, who rushed to Huaixian County and read the holy decree to Yanghu.

After Yanghu received the order, he was shocked, and said to Liu Yi: "Whose plan is this?" ”

Liu Yiqi said: "Why did the sheep man say this? ”

Yanghu said angrily: "This plan to mislead the country is also, now the Huns are strong, although a lucky victory, it is not enough to change the overall situation, if you easily transfer troops to the south at this time, the Huns will come back, and the victory of Hanoi will be abandoned." A certain person should immediately ask His Majesty to punish this person who has misled the country. ”

Liu Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No one has given His Majesty an idea, this is Your Majesty's holy will." ”

Yanghu's expression was obviously stunned, since this idea was Sima Yan's own idea, Yanghu didn't have a trick, he sighed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty is the Lord of the Holy Ming, why would he make such a decision?" ”

"The authorities are confused, Yang Gong has been fighting for a long time, and I don't know the depth of His Majesty's resentment against Xiangyang." Liu Yi was deeply touched.

Yanghu was silent for a moment, and said: "Although Zhonghui is hateful, now is not the time to settle accounts with him, our biggest opponent in the Great Jin Dynasty is still Liu Yuan, these Hu people, before expelling them from the Central Plains, we must not take it lightly, otherwise once our army goes south and the Huns make a comeback, the situation will be difficult to manage." ”

"But Your Majesty's holy decree ......," Liu Yi hesitated for a moment and said.

Yanghu said quickly: "In this way, I will write a special chapter, and I will bother Lord Liu to bring it back to Luoyang and present it to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will change his mind after seeing the book." ”

Liu Yixi said: "Then it will be annoying to the sheep." ”

The next day, Liu Yi returned to Luoyang with Yanghu's recital.

Yanghu's recital sprinkled nearly 10,000 words, stating the pros and cons of the withdrawal of troops from Hanoi, and imploring Sima Yan to retract his fate. The recital is written reasonably, starting from the overall situation everywhere, Sima Yan read it, silent, Yanghu's recital is indeed very reasonable, Sima Yan has no room for refutation. He regretted that he had to let the traitorous thief live a little longer.

Sima Yan quickly issued another holy edict to Yanghu, not mentioning anything about the previous transfer of him to Xiangyang, but just let Yanghu continue to guard Hanoi, oversee the military affairs of Hebei Prefectures, and all military affairs were handled by him cheaply.

After Yanghu received the order, he also settled down, the situation in Hebei was undecided, at this time, the main force was dispatched south to deal with Zhong Hui, which was typical of being willful, Yanghu knew that Sima Yan hated Zhong Hui very much, but as the Son of Heaven, how could he use the safety of Jiangshan Sheji to satisfy his personal likes and dislikes?

In Yanghu's eyes, Sima Yan is still a promising emperor, and now that the new dynasty is just beginning, he has encountered an embattled dilemma, and at this time he needs a good helmsman to grasp the direction, maybe Sima Yan is still too young, but he can still listen to his words, which makes Yanghu very pleased.

The autumn night was slightly cool, and Yang Hu put on a thick mink robe and stood outside the camp, his eyes turned to the cold and starry north.

If you want to defeat the Huns, you can't sit in Hanoi, only by capturing the Huns' lair and merging states can you completely defeat him.

At this point, Yanghu still admires Liu Yin quite a lot, he is like a sharp knife, directly inserted into the vital point of the Huns. It is said that Liu Yin fought very hard in Shangdang, and was divided and besieged in the mountains by the Huns, and the Huns burned all the crops and grass in the Shangdang Mountains.

It is precisely because Liu Yin dragged the main force of the Huns in Bingzhou that Yanghu fought so easily in Hanoi, no matter what Liu Yin's purpose is, and no matter what will happen in the future, in short, Yanghu is still inheriting Liu Yin's favor.

"It's time to return the favor." Yanghu muttered to himself.

Yanghu obviously already had his next battle plan, taking advantage of the stalemate and stalemate between the Huns and the Shu army in Shangdang, he sent troops to Shangdang, stabbed the Huns in the back, recovered the lost territory, and completely wiped out the Huns.

Although Yanghu knew that this would help Liu Yin to a certain extent, it was Liu Yin's entry into Bingzhou, his entry into the Shangdang, and his help in the battle of Hanoi, which Yanghu jokingly called reciprocating the peach.

However, Yanghu's starting point is not to help Liu Yin, but his own interests, if the Jin army advances northward this time, Yanghu's biggest goal is to seize Gaodu, tear a hole in the Huns' stubborn defense line, and then recapture the entire state.

Now Yanghu has more than 100,000 troops, reaching 130,000 people, not including Wenyang's 70,000 horses in Jizhou, in the past two years, the Jin State has continued to recruit troops, and the new soldiers have basically been supplemented to the Hebei line, and now Yanghu has more than 200,000 people, accounting for almost half of the Jin army.

Entering Shangdang from Hanoi is basically a back-attack, and the difficulty is naturally very great, and Liu Yuan is here in Gaodu, the southern gate of Shangdang, and arranges heavy troops, just to prevent the northern invasion of the Jin army, and the goal of Yanghu's first attack on Shangdang is also in Gaodu.

Entering the party, Gaodu is a threshold that the Jin army must cross, and if you don't conquer Gaodu, you can't go straight to the state.

Yanghu also knew the difficulty of attacking Gaodu, so in mid-August, Yanghu concentrated 70,000 horses from Hanoi's 130,000 troops, and suddenly climbed over the steep Taihang Mountain and rushed towards Gaodu, intending to catch the Huns by surprise.

Liu Yuan was indeed a little caught off guard, he originally planned to start the autumn encirclement and suppression operation of the Shu army at the end of this month, taking advantage of the beginning of the autumn harvest, to implement a more thorough three-light tactic, and strive to eliminate the Shu army in this winter, but Yanghu's sudden attack completely disrupted his strategic deployment, it is obvious that the security of Gaodu is far more important than the encirclement and suppression of the Shu army, and there is absolutely no room for a little difference, Liu Yuan He had to mobilize troops to deal with the battle, and the plan for the autumn encirclement and suppression of the Shu army can only be stranded indefinitely.
