Huainan, Shouzhou.

Liu Yu never thought that the conquest of Jiangdong would be so smooth.

Even so, it was so smooth that he wondered if the Jiangdong people were working together to perform a huge conspiracy.

"You mean, Jiankang City is now on high alert, and is it strictly forbidden for military and civilians to go out?"

Liu Yu asked the secret spy who reported the news in front of him again.

"Your Majesty, this is true. When the villain left Jiankang, the Jin lord Sima Rui had already guarded the inner city, blocked all the city gates, and raised troops to guard the key points."

"The city defense outside has been controlled by Situ Wang Dao and others, and the general Ji Zhan and others led their troops to station in Shitou, Caishi and other places."

When Liu Yu heard this, he was already filled with joy.

Now that his army has not yet been prepared, the people in Jiangdong have already started civil strife first.

First, Emperor Sima Rui saw through everyone's intention to treat him as a fat sheep, and took the escort eunuch in the palace and the prince's mansion as the main force to control the inner city, occupy a water gate, and prepare for a well-founded situation of advance and retreat.

The family of overseas Chinese surnames led by Situ Wang Dao and others was suddenly placed in an untrustworthy position by the emperor. There was no way to order the inner city. They could only lead the troops of the headquarters to occupy the outer city defense.

As for the powerful Jiangdong powerhouses such as Ji Zhan, their troops were the strongest, and they immediately snatched important military key points such as quarry.

"What are they going to do? Are they going to join forces with each other?"

Gongsun Sheng, who was standing by, was puzzled by the scene of convincing.

Liu Yu laughed and said.

"The people's hearts have dispersed, and no one wants to defend Jiangdong at all. They just want to gain a better benefit in the end."

"Sima Rui wants to save his life and face, Wang Dao and others want to preserve the capital for the future prosperity of the clan, and Jiangdong Haoqiang and others want to maintain their dominance."

"All parties can no longer trust each other, so they can naturally grab as many chips as possible, that is, grab as many chips as possible as possible."

When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he immediately understood.

Xun Sui, who was standing beside him, still had questions.

"Your Majesty, the Jin Dynasty has lost all its hearts and Sima Rui has no room for reversal. Why do you still have to resist stubbornly? As long as there is a quarry or an outer city is broken, it will be impossible to save a mere inner city."

Liu Yu explained slowly when he heard this.

"I have long received news that Sima Rui has hidden a lot of naval ships and seems to want to cross Hainan to escape."

"What, flee across Hainan?"

Xun Sui was very skeptical of this statement.

"Your Majesty, the waves on the sea are fierce, and there are often disasters of overturning the sea. How could they take such a big risk?"

Nowadays, when there is no very mature navigation technology, even near the coastline, there is often danger of reefs and dangerous shoals.

The vast ocean means danger.

Judging from the treatment of the kings who lost their country since the Han and Wei dynasties, except for the cruel barbarians, they basically treated the kings who lost their country with courtesy.

Why did Sima Rui take such a big risk?

After all, if you surrender obediently, although you have no freedom and lose some dignity, you will never be able to escape the title of Duke and Marquis.

"Sima Rui is always a little ambitious. Maybe it's not for himself, but for the Sima family. It's just a decades-old dynasty, but only one monarch has a good end."
