It was to contain Zhong Hui, but Du Pre had limited troops, so he could only control Nanyang and prevent Zhong Hui from having the opportunity to develop northward.

During this time, it was the most difficult period for the Jin State, the Huns were rampant in the north, containing nearly two-thirds of the Jin State's troops.

With the expansion of power, Zhong Hui's ambition further expanded, and his attitude towards Wu was not so respectful, and even in the border belt of Wu State, Zhong Hui's army and Wu army also had friction incidents, causing some casualties.

The whole state of Wu was quite angry at Zhong Hui's treacherous behavior, and Lu Kang wrote to Sun Hao, wanting to send troops to sanction Zhong Hui.

But at this time, Sun Hao no longer had the same vigor as when he succeeded to the throne, he was intoxicated, rude and arrogant, absurd, and did not care about political affairs at all. Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu, who supported him to succeed to the throne, regretted it, thinking that Sun Hao was wise and wise, wise and decisive, and could inherit Sun Quan's unification, but he didn't expect that the final usher was a businessman Xia Wei, Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu inevitably had some complaints, Zuo Dianjun Wan Yu took the opportunity to slander in front of Sun Hao, Sun Hao searched for the two and sent them to prison and exiled to Guangzhou, and later sent people to kill them halfway through, and wiped out the three clans.

After the death of Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, Sun Hao was even more arrogant and lascivious, tyrannical and unreasonable, and the ministers of the DPRK and China, from the prime minister to the hundred officials, were all feared. Although Lu Kang and others achieved a lot of results on the Huai River front, Wu's national strength did not increase but decreased, and it was difficult both internally and externally.

If Sun Hao is a Ming lord like Sun Ce and Sun Quan, then Wu is undoubtedly in the best time in history, and taking advantage of the war in the north is a good opportunity for him to show his strength. However, Sun Hao's mediocrity and tyranny made Wu completely lose the opportunity to expand to the north, and Lu Kang went to the table several times and asked for troops to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but Sun Hao vetoed it for various reasons, so that Lu Kang was looking to the north and sighing, and his ambition was difficult to pay.

This time, Zhong Hui deliberately provoked in Jingzhou, and Lu Kang deliberately suppressed it, but Sun Hao ignored it, which made Zhong Hui get carried away and become rampant.

In Zhong Hui's opinion, when he rebelled in Xiangyang, he had to compromise with his talents, and befriended Dongwu in a low voice, and now he is already full-fledged, and there is no need to look up to Dongwu's snort.

But Zhong Hui's good fortune ended with the end of the Xiongnu Rebellion, Sima Yan had two enemies that he never forgot, one was Liu Yin of Shu and the other was Zhong Hui of Jingzhou, after eliminating the Huns, Sima Yan finally had the opportunity to deal with his two enemies.

It is Sima Yan's character to repay him, Pei Xiu betrayed Sima Yan when he was forced to helplessly, and then he was quickly retaliated against by Sima Yan and died a miserable death. And Liu Yin and Zhong Hui, two people who have a deep hatred with Sima Yan, can still live well, which is completely intolerable for Sima Yan, once he has the opportunity, Sima Yan will definitely knock his enemy to the ground, step on one foot, so that he will never be able to turn over.

At the beginning of the crusade against the Xiongnu, just after the victory in Hanoi and the situation in Luoyang turned dangerous, Sima Yan moved his mind to transfer Yanghu's army south to solve Zhonghui, but at that time, Yanghu argued with reason, thinking that the biggest enemy of the Jin State was still the Hu people led by the Xiongnu, and now they should still concentrate all their efforts to eliminate the Hu people and not give them a chance to make a comeback.

Sima Yan had no choice but to follow Yanghu's advice, and at the same time, Zhong Hui escaped the catastrophe, and he had two more years of leisurely peace.

But in the end, the fall of the Huns finally freed Sima Yan and had time to do what he had wanted to do for a long time. Eliminating Liu Yin in Jizhou is Sima Yan's first goal, when Yanghu told him about difficulties and conditions, Sima Yan did not hesitate to let Sima Jun take his place, it can be said that Sima Yan is determined to eradicate the person, will never be merciful, this is true for Liu Yin, and the same is true for Zhong Hui.

After Yanghu was dismissed, he returned to Luoyang, but soon a new appointment awaited him - the governor of Zhengnan.

As soon as Yanghu returned to Luoyang, before he could take a breath, Sima Yan's holy decree was issued, and he did not give Yanghu any consideration, and did not even give him the opportunity to face the saint in the Golden Palace, in the south of Luoyang City, Sima Yan had prepared an army of 50,000 for Yanghu, so that he could set off immediately to quell the rebellion in Jingzhou.

The 50,000 troops transferred from the Beijing division and the 50,000 troops in the hands of Du Pre, the governor of Nanyang, together are 100,000 horses, all of which are under the control of Yanghu.

However, compared to Zhonghui, who had already expanded his army to 180,000 troops, Yanghu's 100,000 army did not seem to have any advantage.

In this regard, Yang Hu just smiled indifferently, Zhong Hui has a lot of men and horses in his hands, when Zhong Hui withdrew from Shuzhong, he already had 1120,000 troops, plus the annexation of Sima Liang's army in Jingzhou, there are almost 150,000 people, in recent years, in Jingzhou, the army has been reckless, forcibly conscripted, and the army has been expanded to 180,000, which is not surprising.

Zhong Hui kept recruiting troops, and even used forced recruitment to recruit strong men, which really proved one point, that is, Zhong Hui's cowardice, he may think that only a sufficient number of soldiers and horses can give him a sense of security.

But Zhong Hui seems to ignore an important point, the people are the foundation of the army, half of Jingzhou, the land of projectiles, can support so many troops? The people are the foundation of the army, and the army needs the people's taxes to feed it, and without a huge base of people, how can we afford such a huge army?

In order to feed the 180,000 troops, Zhonghui has exhausted its material and financial resources, and the people of Jingzhou have been exploited layer by layer, and the people are struggling to make a living, and the entire economy of Jingzhou has tended to collapse.

Zhong Hui's Wei Xing King, what he did was not suitable for pleasure, but behind the glamorous and glamorous, there were countless crises lurking, maybe even Zhong Hui didn't realize that the arrival of Yanghu and Zhong Hui's free days were already coming to an end. (To be continued.) )
