Now Sima Shao in Jingkou has achieved some success in training troops, and has obtained about 20,000 troops, and more than 10,000 naval troops.

For Sima Rui, this was simply a hope of monopolizing the monarchy.

However, relying solely on these troops in Jingkou is far from enough.

Emperor Sima Rui of the Great Jin Dynasty also worked hard to win over Tao Kan, the governor of Jiangzhou.

Tao Kan's military strategy is actually better than Wang Dun, but he is from a poor family and cannot control his subordinates to the extreme.

With Sima Rui's support, Jiangzhou Governor Tao Kan immediately became an important figure.

Just when Sima Rui wanted to show his skills, General Wang Dun used a trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron and immediately drove Tao Kan out of Jiangzhou.

"Wang Dun is so domineering, the country is unfortunate!" Liu Wei said with a heartache.

"I don't want to eliminate this thief, but I can't do anything. I don't know if the two gentlemen have a way to get out of this thief quickly?" Sima Rui said gritting his teeth.

Seeing that one of his left and right arm was cut off alive, how could he not make him angry?

"Your Majesty, Wang controls the inside and outside, be careful of the walls." Diao Xie suddenly said in a low voice.

This time, Wang Dun directly dismissed the Jiangzhou Governor Tao Kan, which made Diao Xie feel a faint sense of fear.

This feeling has never happened before.

It turns out that I always think that Sima Rui is the emperor after all, and as a relative minister, he can't do anything to him.

However, now it seems that Wang Dun's power is enough to shake anyone.

Tao Kan, the governor of Jiangzhou, is a famous and noble official with noble character. He was not rudely driven out of Jiangzhou?

If Wang Dun goes crazy, he is afraid that his life will be difficult to save.

"Mr. Diao is worried too much. My palace is full of the most trusted people, so there will be no problems."

"Wang Dun is so arrogant, Your Majesty should not tolerate him anymore. He will not order Wang Dun to enter Jiankang and Tao Kan to defend himself, and then prepare to take the elite troops in one fell swoop." Liu Wei said.

Sima Rui was shocked when he heard Liu Wei's method.

"If Wang Dun entered Jiankang, he would definitely be leading troops. How could he take it down in one fell swoop?"

"Besides, even if Wang Dun is taken down, his sons, nephews and brothers are all in the prefectures and counties. If we raise troops to rebel, we will not be able to resist."

Diao Xie analyzed calmly.

"Your Majesty, it's better to try my plan. If it succeeds, it can weaken Wang Dun's military strength and prestige. Even if it fails, there will be no loss. Maybe Wang Dun can't even notice it."

When Sima Rui heard this, he immediately became energetic.

"Please speak with Mr. Diao."

"Your Majesty, my advice is that you should not take Wang Dun hard, but should take wisdom."

"How to get ahead of your wisdom?"

"Praise and kill!"

"Praise it? How to praise it?" Sima Rui was confused, and even Liu Wei next to him looked puzzled.

"The foundation Wang Dun relies on now is the soldiers of Jingzhou. If he finds a way to weaken his soldiers, his arrogance will definitely be weakened."

"How to weaken his troops?"

"Your Majesty, you can secretly send someone to lobby Wang Dun and ask for troops to send troops to the Li thieves in Yizhou!" Diao Xie said.

"What?!"

"Attack Yizhou?"

Sima Rui and Liu Wei both exclaimed at the same time.

Today, Yizhou has been occupied by the Badi Li family for nearly ten years.

Although civil strife in Yizhou has been ongoing, Li Xiong, who has the upper-level advantage, is definitely not so easy to be defeated.

Although Wang Dun is domineering, he is definitely not a fool. How could he chew on the tough bones of Li Xiong, Yizhou?

"Yizhou natural danger, how could Wang Dun be deceived?" Sima Rui shook his head.

"Li Xiong is not a good person, and Wang Dun may not dare to send troops." Liu Wei also said.

"Don't your Majesty know that Liu Yu is sending troops to compete with Li Xiong for Hanzhong?" Diao Xie said.

Sima Rui nodded and said.

"I have heard of this, but Li Xiong has the right time and place, so Hanzhong probably won't be able to use much military force."

When Diao Xie heard this, he immediately said mysteriously.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that although Li Xiong's troops have the right time and place, they don't have many elite soldiers. If you don't want to give up Hanzhong, you will have to build a large army to compete with Liu Yu's troops who are refined in many battles."

After hearing this, Sima Rui also felt that it made sense.

I think how elite and good at fighting were the Han army under Liu Yu. It had already slapped the Huns and Captains in less than ten years.

A mere group of Di people who flew to Yizhou were no match for the Han army.

Unless Li Xiong sets out several times the force.

"If this is true, wouldn't it be even worse for Wang Dun to really pacify Yizhou?" Liu Wei said with a frown.

"Yes, Mr. Diao, Wang Dun has occupied Jingzhou and Jiangzhou. If he occupied Yizhou again, then I, the emperor, might have abdicated." Sima Rui said with a resentful look on his face.

Diao Xie and Liu Wei, when they heard the emperor say such horrifying words, they immediately bowed their heads to apologize.

Sima Rui knew that he complained too much, so he had to help the two of them up immediately and continue the negotiations.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. If Wang Dun cannot conquer Yizhou, it will be a good thing for the court to lose his troops and lose his generals."

"If Wang Dun really conquered Yizhou, he would have spanned the three states. With such a long depth, he would definitely not be able to take into account both endings. Your Majesty can slowly plan it."

After hearing this, Sima Rui wanted to curse.

This Diao Xie made a big fuss about it in a mysterious way. At the last critical moment, he was so diarrhea, which really disappointed him.

"Diao Gong, this makes no sense. If Wang Dun occupied Yizhou, how could he slowly draw it?" Sima Rui said with a spit on Xingzi.

Is Diao Xie so confused? If Wang Dun had such a situation, it would be even larger than Liu Bei's territory back then. He was truly a tyrant, and there was a possibility of slowing down his mind.

However, in the face of the emperor's doubts, Diao Xie seemed calm and composed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Wang Dun is not Liu Bei. The greater his power, the more unstable the foundation will be, and the greater the enemy you set up."

"When Wang Dun really conquers Yizhou, there will definitely be someone who is more anxious than His Majesty."

"At that time, Wang Dun will only get a Yizhou, and His Majesty will get the hearts of people both inside and outside."

"The hearts of people inside and outside?" Sima Rui immediately realized the meaning of it.

"Yes, this kind of benefit can allow Your Majesty to check and balance Wang Dun!" Diao Xie said confidently.

"Yes, you can try it. If this is true, Wang Dun will not stare at Jingkou within a few years." Sima Rui nodded and said.

The Crown Prince Sima Shao, who was training in Jingkou, has long been a thorn in Wang Dun's side and has always been full of hostility towards him.

If Wang Dun had the intention to raise an army to attack Yizhou, he would not have any more effort to estimate Jiangdong within at least one or two years.

"Then who will be sent to lobby Wang Dun for this matter?" Liu Wei asked immediately.

"This matter also requires a quick-minded person. I recommend one person and will definitely live up to the mission." Diao Xie said.

"Who is Diao Gong recommended?" Sima Rui asked.

"Zhou Jie, the prefect of Xincheng." Diao Xie said with a smile.

=·=·=·=·=

Yecheng.

Liu Yu was in Jizhou, thousands of miles away, so he naturally didn't know that the monarch and ministers in Jiangdong wanted to incite Wang Dun to attack Shu.

If he had known about this now, he would have happily sent Diao Xie a big red flower.

It's simply a god-assisted assist.

Because the Han army in Guanzhong fought south for Hanzhong, there was no expected smooth progress.

The Han army in Yongzhou was led by Wu Xin, Liu Yan and others, and they were originally full of confidence in capturing Hanzhong.

However, unexpectedly, after learning that the Han army was attacking Hanzhong, the Emperor Li Xiong of Cheng Kingdom gathered several times of the Ba Di troops to resist the Han army.

After several pulls, although the Han army occupied some territory, it did not make much progress.

"Your Majesty, the roads to Hanzhong are broken, and it is too difficult to transport food and grass. Li Xiong has already prepared for it. Our army cannot add more troops. I am afraid that this year we can only confront these cities."

Xi Jian, who had just received the military newspaper, said.

"A little Hanzhong is so difficult to crack. This Li Xiong seems to be a hero."

Liu Yu saw from the military newspaper that Emperor Chengguo Li Xiong led his troops to resist, and often came to the front line to boost morale.

Faced with the elite soldiers who fought for a long time, these Badi soldiers did not fall.

"Since that's the case, then Hanzhong will nail a few nails. When you accumulate enough food and grass, you will send more troops to take them down in one fell swoop."
