Since Sun Jun entered the new city, he was no longer satisfied with only one new city. According to the agreement with Zhuge Dan in advance, if the Eastern Wu helped Zhuge repel Sima Jun this time, Zhuge Dan would give Yiyang, Anfeng and Lujiang to repay the three counties.

If all these three counties could be embraced, Sun Jun's prestige in Jiangdong would reach its peak. Even Zhou Yu, who defeated Cao Cao by Chibi, and Lu Xun, who defeated Liu Bei by Yiling, would not be compared with him. Sun Jun's achievements would be unprecedented in Eastern Wu, and there would be no future. They would be in the world and the world. At that time, even if Sun Liang was allowed to move his nest to be the emperor, there would probably be no objection.

When he thought of this, a smug smile appeared on Sun Jun's face. Although he was not Sun Quan's direct descendant, whoever stipulated that the throne of the Eastern Wu would have to be inherited by Sun Quan's lineage. If Sun Ce had not died young, the throne of the emperor would not have been affected by Sun Quan in any case.

Since ancient times, this emperor has always attached great importance to the position of virtue. Sun Liang is a child who is not virtuous and incompetent. Isn’t it because of Sun Quan, a good father, that he was able to sit on the throne of the emperor. If it weren’t for Sun Jun’s dedicated assistance and eradication of the rebellious minister Zhuge Ke, how could Sun Liang sit there safely?

Sun Jun is also a member of the Sun clan, so why don’t he have the right to sit in this position? As long as Sun Jun is willing, he can kick Sun Liang away at any time and get himself in the position.

Of course, Sun Jun has that ambition, but not that courage. After all, if he wants to get to power, he must gain the support of countless people. Without reputation, no achievements, and no prestige, who will support him?

Therefore, Sun Jun had high hopes for this battle in Huainan. As long as he could win half of Huainan, his reputation in Jiangdong would inevitably rise sharply, so that he could get the support of many people. It would be a natural thing to seek to usurp the throne.

This time, Sun Jun's capture of the new city has attracted praise in Jiangdong. This is the first time that the Eastern Wu has truly expanded its territory since its founding. Many people were so happy that Sun Liang personally went to Sun Quan's tomb to pay homage to the predecessor.

It was Sun Quan's lifelong wish to win the new city. Sun Quan spent his whole life and launched dozens of wars, but he could not win the new city. Unexpectedly, his wish was realized shortly after his death. The whole country of Eastern Wu celebrated, and Sun Jun's name was widely circulated in Jiangdong.

Of course, just getting the new city is not enough to realize Sun Jun's ambitions. If Sun Jun can take over Huainan, he will receive more support, and then his rise to power will naturally be natural.

But if he wants to take over the three counties of Huainan, he must reach an agreement with Zhuge Dan. After all, this is not something that Sun Jun himself can decide, so he must wait patiently and wait for the arrival of Sima Jun.

Only by helping Zhuge Dan repel Sima Jun's attack could Sun Jun get what he wanted.

Sun Jun closely monitored the development of the situation. When the news of Sima Jun finally arrived, Sun Jun was stunned. He didn't know what Sima Shi was thinking. He would actually send a child with a bad baby to fight. This is too bullying. Sima Shi really thought that sending a cat and a dog to come can also wipe out Huainan?

Sun Jun wished he could bring troops to Huaibei immediately, destroy Sima Lun's troops, and despise the enemy, which would have to pay a price.

Sure enough, before Sun Jun took action, Zhuge Dan had already sent troops first and led an army of 80,000 to cross the Huai River, preparing to launch a head-on attack on the Sima army.

However, the result of this battle surprised everyone. Not only did Zhuge Dan not defeat Sima Lun, he was beaten by Sima Lun. In this battle, Zhuge Dan actually lost about 70% of his troops. It was a big loss, which was a terrible sight.

After hearing the news, Sun Jun was also secretly surprised. The result was completely beyond his expectations. He thought that Sima Lun, who had no combat experience, would not be Zhuge Dan's opponent at all, but unexpectedly the result was very different. Zhuge Dan was not only defeated, but also suffered a crushing defeat. The loss was huge. The situation in Huainan suddenly became severe.

Sun Jun sent troops to aid Zhuge Dan this time, but the troops were sent out only because they could not withstand the temptation of huge interests. However, Sun Jun held a principle that it was okay to send troops, but it was not enough to work hard. In order to help Zhuge Dan, the army of the Eastern Wu suffered great losses. This was something that Sun Jun could not accept. Therefore, Sun Jun came this time and had to eat mutton without getting into a fishy outfit. He fought hard with Sima Jun. At most, the Wu army would beat the edge drum to help and boost the momentum.

However, after Zhuge Dan's defeat, the situation in Huainan changed drastically, and the Sima army was likely to invade Huainan in large numbers, and Zhuge Dan was probably unable to resist.

It was obviously not what Sun Jun wanted to see that the Wu army was involved in the Wei civil war on a large scale. If they fought with the Sima army, the Wu army would inevitably suffer a lot of losses. Even the fat piece of Hefei New City they had just swallowed had to be spit out.

This made Sun Jun a little confused. If he continued to help Zhuge Dan, the losses of Wu would be immeasurable, but now he seemed a little unwilling to withdraw his troops. Sun Jun thought about it over and over again and still couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, Sun Feng suddenly ran in and said to Sun Jun: "Brother, good news, Sima Lun has withdrawn!"

Sun Jun was stunned and said, "Sima Lun withdrew from his army? How is it possible? Could it be that there is a fraud?"

The battle of Yingshang had just ended, and Simalun won a big victory. At this time, Simalun should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue Shouchun. How could he suddenly give up the attack and withdraw his troops to return to the army? If this matter is true, Sun Jun suspected that there was a fraud.

Sun Xu said: "I have sent someone to investigate. The news of Sima Lun's withdrawal of troops is very true. According to reliable news, the war on the Yellow River is in a tight position. Sima Lun personally ordered Sima Lun to withdraw his troops in Yanzhou and strengthen the defense of the Yellow River defense line. If it were not for this reason, Sima Lun would definitely not withdraw his troops easily. However, it is so good that the elder brother does not need to worry about fighting with Sima Lun. This time Sima Lun retreated and Huainan was safeguarded. It is time for Zhuge Dan to fulfill his promise. He can send someone to ask Zhuge Dan for the three counties including Lujiang. After the three counties are completed, we can drink the Ma Huaihe River and spy on the Central Plains. Brother's achievements will be passed through the heavens and the earth, and the Jiangdong is beyond the reach."
