Chapter 249 Take it
Yang Zheng sent troops to Yunwu, and ordered Zhang Te to lead the army to attack the north and Meng Guan to lead the army to the south.

It has to be said that Yang Zheng's reputation has grown in the Northwest in the past two years.

As long as you see the banner of "Guarding Qiang Zhonglang Jiang Yang", all the city gates will be opened.

The four cities of Yunjie, Zhiyang, Haomen and Lingju were quickly occupied.

But Yuzhong and Jincheng on the east bank of the Yellow River were unmoved.

The scouts found out that Deng Ai led the remnant soldiers to retreat to Yuzhong, trying to keep the two bridgeheads on the east bank of the Yellow River.

The idea is good, but Jincheng belongs to Liangzhou, not to the governor of Yongzhou.

It has only been about a year since Deng Ai took office as governor of Yongzhou. Apart from Nan'an County, the counties in Yongliang and Liangzhou don't really have much favor for him.

First, he relied on Sima Yi to take the position.

Second, his qualifications, reputation, and achievements are not enough to be the governor of Yizhou, and he is also the governor of Yongzhou.

Third, his own personality is also a big problem. Every time there is a battle, he always jumps the highest. It is impossible not to offend others, and even offend many subordinates internally.

In this battle of breaking the Qiang, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, and what was lost was not only a war, but too many things were involved behind it.

Deng Ai's reputation plummeted.

And Yang Zheng's momentum skyrocketed.

In this case, Deng Ai is still in Jincheng and Yuzhong, so he is a little impolite.

This also goes along with his character.

"Yuzhong, you must take it!" Yang Zheng slapped the cowhide map with a slap.

Liu Heng and Gong Feizhi also became excited.

"Decree, ask Du Yu to bring all [-] slave troops!" It's time for Wuwei, Tianshui, Chang'an, and Luoyang to see their own strength!

I have the strength to take Longyou, but I exercise restraint, so please respect me, Yang Zheng!

This is the reason why you can get away with one punch and avoid a hundred punches.

"Wei!" The messenger galloped away.

Two days later, Du Yu led an army of [-] slaves to arrive.

Fighting against the wind, the slaves will definitely not be able to, they will disperse as soon as they fight.

But the battle with the wind was different. The slaves were high-spirited, screaming one by one.

"In the old days, Mengtian of the Great Qin drove the Xiongnu and used Yuzhong as a fortress. The great Han spied on Hexi, and Huo Qubing stationed troops in Yuzhong. This city was the seat of Jincheng County. If you don't take it, you don't own Jincheng County." Du Yu's words, let Yang Zheng Sensing the shift in his position.

The battle against Qiang gave too many people confidence.

And this battle has allowed Yang Zheng to gain a firm foothold under the new situation.

Even if Sima and his son wanted to get rid of Yang Zheng, it was no longer a simple matter.

Unless Sima Yi leads the troops in person, the various forces in Yongliang will once again unite as a whole under his illustrious name.

However, a battle of this level does not come immediately. It takes time to gather food, weapons, and soldiers.

The northwest wind is so strong and the road is not so easy to walk. If Sima Yi ascends to the sky halfway, the Luoyang court may have a different scene.

"That's right, since we've done it, let's do it to the end!" Now Yang Zheng is confident.

Do your Sima family want the Central Plains, or do you want to fight yourself in the barren land of Xiping?

If Yunwu is the gateway to Xiping, then Yuzhong is the strategic bridgehead, like a long sword inserted between Nan'an, Longxi, Anding, and Wuwei.

The so-called place of victory is nothing more than that!
Don't come when the opportunity is too late, when Chen Tai and Guo Huai react, or Deng Ai catches his breath, it will not be so easy to take it.

Under the mountains, the big river is surging, the light rider is like the wind, and the iron armor is like the tide.

The [-]-strong army descended along the Huangshui River, and the small towns and passes along the way were automatically opened in the direction of the troops.

Xuan Yilang of the personal guard camp scattered out to restrain the slave army and not to violate the common people along the way.

Yang Zheng also provided enough food and grass, and distributed some beef and mutton from time to time.

Six teams of light cavalry were also sent to patrol day and night, and those who took anything from the people indiscriminately were directly engaged in military law.

Along the way, heads were hung on the long spears of the cavalry.

But there are still slaves who are too excited.

It has to be said that the barbarians in the Western Regions are cruel by nature and have been banned repeatedly.

In this matter, Yang Zheng will never condone, if a team commits a crime, the whole team will be executed, and if any crime is committed, the entire team will be executed.

Human heads piled up next to the official road one after another, and finally the slaves came to their senses.

Never dare to do anything wrong again.

Let the devastated Jincheng County get a little solace.

Wherever they passed, people even burned incense and paid homage, or gave them food that they were also in short supply.

Yang Zheng refused to take any of them.

At the Yellow River Ferry, the defenders had already dispersed.

The general of Jincheng County was also frightened when he saw the enemies coming like a tide.

Moreover, Yang Zhengjun cut off his own head all the way, such a brutal way of doing it has never been seen in Yongliang for decades.

Being ruthless to others isn't really ruthless, but being so ruthless to oneself, who would dare to bear it?

Jincheng County took the initiative to reward them with food, cattle and sheep. They were scared, but they were still very enlightened, which made Yang Zheng feel like he was eating a pot of milk to welcome Master Wang.

It feels good to go down the city without a fight.

The crotch bird's breath I had suffered in the past few years has also relieved a lot.

All the cities in Jincheng County that can be taken down have been taken down, and only Yuzhong is still standing.

Many soldiers and young men gathered on the city wall.

But when they saw the enemy army coming like a tide, their faces all changed.

When Ye Wudai and Ehe set fire to the fire before, although they claimed to have an army of [-], there was too much water in it.

Many people are not so much "armies" as they are beggars. Not to mention armor and weapons, they don't even have decent clothes, and they hold a sharpened wooden stick, which is considered a spear. elite".

And in front of him, although not all of the [-] troops were wearing armor, at least half of them were wearing leather armor, or holding spears, or carrying long knives.

The key is that the formation is strict and not chaotic at all.

The [-] infantry and cavalry in the front line, armored like a mountain, with spears like a forest, came here with a murderous aura.

In the past ten years, Liangzhou has never seen such a flourishing army.

Riding on Wu Yu's back, Yang Zheng looked at his army, and his heart was full of pride.

"Ho! Ho! Ho..."

Ten thousand elite infantry made a mighty roar, as if the whole earth and sky were trembling together.

That's what the so-called military might is.

Every plant, every tree, every mountain and every river, subtly, the power of heaven and earth also blesses the army.

All the time, the world is the same!
It's no wonder that a hundred years later, Fu Jian has the pride of throwing a whip to stop the flow, and also has the panic of panic.

The victories one after another continue to inspire morale and inspire people's hearts.

At this time, even if Yang Zheng ordered to go straight to Chang'an, these soldiers would carry it out without hesitation.

Victory made the psychological bond between Yang Zheng and his subordinates even tighter.

"Deng Ai—"

More than a hundred soldiers stood outside the shot and shouted loudly.

This shout also made everyone in the city quiet down.

"Deng Ai—"

With a shout, Deng Ai never showed up, but the momentum on the city wall fell to the bottom.

In the battle of breaking the Qiang, Yang Zheng won and Deng Ai lost.

The Battle of Yuzhong today is exactly the same as the Battle of Poqiang that day.

But Feng Shui has turned.

After shouting for half an hour, Deng Ai's figure never appeared.

Yang Zheng shook his head, the so-called famous generals are nothing more than that.

Thinking of my setbacks and difficulties along the way, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

All the patience was worth it, and all the hard work paid off.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small currents, you can't become a river.

Now, Yang Zheng's sea of ​​soldiers is about to engulf the city.

"Siege!" Yang Zheng drew his sword and pointed at Yuzhong City.
