Chapter 331 Punishing the Heart
Every day, the scouts on both sides of the strait will gallop across the river, and sometimes cavalry will be dispatched to bluff.

For Yang Zheng, this confrontation is acceptable.

Quyin is close to Xiping, Jincheng, but far away from Guanzhong.

Few soldiers have the advantage of having fewer soldiers. Yang Zheng has 3000 people, and the farmland in Jincheng can supply food and grass, and the government soldiers also bring some food with them.

In the past few years, the weather has been smooth and the food problem is not big.

Guo Huai's [-] soldiers eat horse chews, which is not a small amount every day.

Guo Huai was more eager than Yang Zheng, and kept looking for a ferry from the downstream, and once ran as far as Qingtongxia, Yang Zheng could only send cavalry to deal with it.

Qingtongxia is the Xitao area among the three sets of the Yellow River, with well-developed water network and fertile land.

The Great Han Dynasty built Shanghe City, and the Great Qin Hunhuai Barrier and Shenquan Barrier guarded it.

In history, Xixia rose from this place, cut off Hexi, and was sandwiched between Liao, Song and Jin Dynasties. It has been established for nearly 200 years.

"Block Guo Huai at the east of the river, and Wuwei will be a fish in the cauldron." Du Yu emphasized repeatedly.

Yang Zheng nodded.

The opportunity for a decisive battle has yet to come.

In the first year of Zhengyuan, Xiping had another small bumper harvest, and Luzhi sat behind the town. After the autumn harvest, grain, grass and luggage were continuously transported to Guzang and Quyin.

Even winter clothes and sheep fur are prepared.

The young and strong slaves were armed with a piece of leather armor and a spear to complete the transformation of their status.

However, according to Lu Zhi's proposal, instead of sending them all to the front line, they were stationed in Pingqiang City and Lingju City respectively, thinking that they could rush to help Guzang and Yuyin at any time, and also took into account Jincheng and Xihai to prevent problems before they happen. .

Lu Zhi's style is like this, watertight.

An equipment of [-] heavy cavalry was transported to Quyin.

Double stirrups, high saddles, and cold-forged armor are equipped on a thousand horseshoeed Hehuang horses.

Including the original heavy cavalry, Yang Zheng's armored cavalry reached 300.

Two horses per person, improved cavalry spears, crossbows triggered by one hand, refined ring swords, in this era, they are armed to the teeth.

[-] tall and strong Qiang Han men put on armor and stepped on horses, and the real cavalry was born in this way.

There are also two sets of iron armor specially made for Yang Zheng, one is gorgeous and light, after wearing it, Yang Zheng immediately feels overwhelmed.

A set of ferocious and thick, draped on the body, lift the knife and spear, feel like a steel beast.

The continuous investment in the iron workshop over the years has finally achieved considerable results.

The steel filling method and the hundred refining method have been continuously improved, the armor is lighter and stronger, and the sword and spear are sharper.

With this iron cavalry, Yang Zheng looked forward to the final battle even more.

As time progresses, forms and potentials accumulate bit by bit.

Yang Zheng's strength is growing in secret, while Guo Huai's is growing in the open.

Every few days, the Qianghu tribe in Hedong will join them.

Guo Huaiwei is famous and has a large number of soldiers, with the support of the entire Guanzhong and the Sima family of Luoyang behind him.

Just looking at the strength on paper, Guo Huai's chances of winning are more than [-]%.

Throughout the wars, Qiang Hu has actively participated in and got a share of the action.

By October, the Hexi troops had gathered [-].

Meng Yu, Zhou Fang, Liu Heng and others were overjoyed. Fifty thousand means that they have met the requirements for the battle, and they have no fear at all.

Especially Liu Heng, under the instruction of Yang Zheng, led the gong and drum team three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and yelled at the east bank of the Yellow River with beating gongs and drums: "The old thief Guo Huai has received great kindness from the great Wei, and he doesn't want to serve the country. Seeing Emperor Wen and the late Emperor?"

After Guo Huai promoted Xiaolian, he was only a magistrate in Pingyuan County, but he was valued by Cao Pi, who was then a general of the five senses, and he was called into his command as a confidant. He was gradually transferred from the thief Cao to the prime minister Cao Yilingshi, the staff officer, and the military officer. This fortune.

When Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, he was immediately promoted to the governor of Yongzhou and granted the title of Marquis of Sheyangting.

This kind of kindness was completely forgotten by Guo Huai.

In history, after the Gaoping Mausoleum change, Guo Huai immediately raised troops to attack Xiahouba. Although he was at odds with Xiahouba, he also surrendered his name to Sima Yi.

Of course, Guo Huai has long since lost his old face, so naturally he doesn't care about Liu Heng's innocuous words.

It's a pity that Wei Zhu is not in Quyin, otherwise it would be good to write a few limericks to touch Guo Huai's soul.

But Wei Zhu was not there, and another expert was there.

Wei Guan said flatly: "Guo Huai was born in a filial piety, wise and courageous, provoking each other with filthy words, not only can't dampen his spirit, but also make him share the same hatred with the enemy. It is better to present the kindness of Emperor Wen and the first emperor in front of the army, and the soldiers of Yongliang Since he will be renounced, Guo Huai will have no face to see others."

"Boyu is really a master!" Yang Zheng praised.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, Yongliang soldiers are not deaf and blind.

Sima Yi, who knows what Master Sima has done these years?
Killing Cao Shuang was justifiable, and killing Wang Ling shocked the world. Since Sima Shi took power, he was more radical than Sima Yi.

The key point is that Yang Zheng is not trying to rebel under the banner of killing Sima Shi on the side of Qing Dynasty.

This time, Guo Huai has a three-point disadvantage in righteousness.

"In the fourth year of Jian'an, Guo Boji was elected for his loyalty, filial piety, honesty and honesty. In the 16th year of Jian'an, he was promoted by Emperor Wen and used as a thief Cao. Inspector of Yongzhou, named Marquis of Sheyangting..."

One by one, one by one, all were yelled out by Liu Heng's gong and drummer.

In exchange for a wave of arrow rain on the opposite side.

But the gong and drummers had been prepared and raised their shields in time, injuring more than a dozen people and were immediately replaced.

If the Gaoping Mausoleum changes, Guo Huai will not move, it is justifiable, after all, Cao Shuang and his gang are outraged.

But Sima Shi killed the empress and abolished the emperor, and Guo Huai didn't dare to let go of a fart, so it's a bit unreasonable.

"In the past, the battle of Han and Sichuan was almost overturned. Huai was in danger and rescued, and he made a contribution to the palace. For more than [-] years in Guanyou, he conquered the invaders from outside and sued the people from the inside. , The meritorious service is outstanding, and I appreciate it very much. Now Huai is the general of chariots and cavalry, and the third division of Yitong, holding festivals and governors as before!"

The drummers even recited Cao Fang's imperial edict.

This kindness edict was once widely spread by Cao Fang to highlight Guo Huai's achievements.

"The emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty have never treated the governor badly. Now Sima Shi kills the empress and abolishes the emperor, cuts down the pillars of the country, and bullies the country. Wei Zhongyong's soldiers went west, killed each other, obstructed General Pingxi's righteous deeds, aided the evil, exchanged the blood of Yongliang soldiers for the glory of the Guo family, dare to ask Governor Guo, where is your loyalty, filial piety and righteousness?"

The gong and drummers yelled out Wei Guan's conclusion word by word.

More than 100 words, as if more than 100 sharp swords stabbing the Yongliang army on the east bank.

The wind howled and the Yellow River roared.

The east bank suddenly became silent, not even the rain of arrows.

Yong Liangjun looks at me and looks at you, he no longer has the vigor to fight before.

The power of words is not under the sword, it can not only kill people, but also kill people!

But Guo Huai was still clinging on, without any movement.

Yang Zheng asked Liu Heng to do it again with gongs and drums.

You Guo Huai are shameless, it doesn't matter if you didn't hear it, everyone in the Yongliang army has a pair of ears.

Can listen and think.

Fairness and peace of mind.

Yongliang is Cao Wei's Yongliang, not Guo Huai's Yongliang, Sima Shi's Yongliang.

This world is still Cao Wei's world!

As long as Cao Wei is still alive, Yang Zheng can use this righteous name for a day.

It is clear at a glance who is the traitor and who is the "loyal minister".

Back then at the gate of Wugong City, Guo Huai used his status to bully him, and wanted to use his status to kill Yang Zheng, but now all his anger has been returned.
