Chapter 355
For Zhuge Dan, the only way out is Shouchun.

Ever since Master Sima killed Xia Houxuan, Zhuge Dan knew that no matter how he compromised, he would eventually turn against the Sima family.

Zhuge Dan had a deep friendship with Xia Houxuan and Deng Yang, and it was Cao Shuang who resisted all opinions and appointed him as the governor of Yangzhou and named him General Zhaowu.

Seeing Wang Ling and Guan Qiujian with his own eyes, Zhuge Dan became more cautious.

Secretly recruited thousands of young chivalrous men from Yangzhou as dead men, poured out all the wealth of the treasury to bond the hearts of the people, supported relatives and attached them well, and treated Yangzhou scholars and people kindly.

Zhuge Dan has served as the governor of Yangzhou for more than ten years.

Under Shouchun City, there are all trained soldiers, and outside Shouchun City, there are guests from farming everywhere.

There is a world of difference between Shouchun in Guanqiujian's hands and Zhuge Dan's.

"The imperial court will promote the prince to be the general who conquers the East, Marquis Gaoping, with [-] households in the town!" Jiao Yi clasped his hands.

"When Sima Yi punished Wang Ling, he was also promoted to Taiwei." Zhuge Dan didn't show any joy on his face.

"So, with Luoyang, it's an endless game?" Chang Shi Wu Gang said.

Zhuge Dan sneered and said, "It's not that XX wants to fight with the Sima family forever, but the Sima family will definitely not let XX go."

Jiao Yi sighed: "The old Cao family was all slaughtered by Sima Zhao. The monarch has old relationships with Xiahou Taichu and General Cao. The Sima family will not forgive each other. In addition to rewarding the monarch, the court also transferred Le Chen as the governor of Yangzhou. Ping Kou general Pang Hui and the cavalry governor took Lu Fan as his deputy, leading a thousand riders, and marched into Huainan together."

Le Wei shined brilliantly during the crusade against Wuqiu Jian, and was heavily relied upon by Master Sima.

And after so many years of clinging, Pang Hui finally found his way to the Sima family and was added as General Pingkou.

All three of them were minions of the Sima family.

Sima Zhao sent these three people here with a clear goal.

"If Master Sima is still around, I'm afraid of three points. Sima Zhao is not as good as mere minions. I am now diving into the abyss. I can't enter the Central Plains, but I can stand on my own in Huainan!" One of Zhuge Dan's great advantages is that Wuqiu is frugal and pragmatic.

Jiao Yi said: "Your Majesty might as well marry Soochow as a back-up, secretly tie Yang Zheng as an external response, and become each other's lips and teeth. If Sima Zhao begs for Liangzhou, Qingxu will be his foundation. If Sima Zhao begs for me, then Yang Zheng can go to Guanzhong .”

After Yang Zheng stepped into Guanzhong, no one doubted his ability anymore.

Zhuge Dan didn't think much of Yang Zheng before, but now he does.

It seems that Huainan rebelled twice, but he was the one who benefited.

"Then Sima Zhao will attack Liangzhou first, or Yangzhou first?" Zhuge Dan asked, looking northwest.

In the northwest direction, the cold wind is howling, spring has come, and the earth is slowly thawing.

A ten-thousand-step rider marched against the cold wind.

Although the team was not very neat and the military capacity was not very strong, under the flying flags, all the soldiers held their heads high.

Victory after victory has kept their morale and confidence rising.

Yang Zheng's prestige has also reached its peak.

No one doubts that the next time they go east, they will break through Chang'an.

This is the psychological advantage.

"Boyu, do you think Sima Zhao will become angry and lead the army to attack me?" Yang Zheng was still a little worried.

If you touched someone's butt and slapped him in the face, can he not hold grudges?
In fact, the world situation is already clear.

The strength of the Central Plains stands out among the Three Kingdoms, and Wu and Shu are left behind.

And the situation in Yongliang is also clearer, Sima Zhao will definitely lead a heavy army to make a comeback when he recovers.

"Sima Zhaoxinli will not attack me in the short term, but in a few years, there will be a big battle in Huainan or Liangzhou." Wei Guan raised the reins and followed Wu Yu's pace, half a horse's head behind.

What Yang Zheng was most uncertain about was whether Sima Zhao hit himself first or Zhuge Dan first.

I remember the three rebellions in Huainan in history. Sima Zhao dispatched 26 Chinese troops to conscript the Qing, Xu, Jing, and Henan armies, and nearly 50 troops overwhelmed Mount Tai.

In war, I am actually most afraid of this kind of fighting.

If I don't play with you, I will fight for national strength and play with consumption.

Sima Zhao's soldiers are slightly inferior to Sima Yi's, and his cruelty is not as good as Sima Shi's, but he is quite unique in employing people.

"There are a few years, it's enough." Yang Zheng felt more relieved.

At that time, Anding will be turned into an iron bucket, and an iron triangle will be built in the south of Heguan, Fanghan, and Yuzhong.

Not enough offense, more than enough defense.

Besides, the location of Liangzhou is different from that of Huainan. It has enough strategic depth. If Xiaoguan is lost, there is the Yellow River, and if the Yellow River is lost, there are Qilian Mountains and Jishi Mountains.

There is only one strong city in Huainan - Shouchun.

As long as Sima Zhao is not stupid, he will make friends from a distance and attack from a distance, and get Zhuge Dan first.

After crossing the Yellow River and returning to Quyin, Xuanyi Division has already counted the list of meritorious officers and men.

There are 17 people who have attained five revolutions.

Most of them are the battle of Shuyin.

Du Yu resisted the attacks of Guo Huai and Deng Ai at the Fuyin Ferry at the same time, creating conditions for Yang Zheng to raid the Hedong camp, and took the lead.

In addition, there is Cheng Xi's contribution to ascending Gu Zang first.

Liu Heng fought bloody battles several times, and also got a five-rank merit.

There are also many four-turns and three-turns, and the most two-turns.

However, some of the meritorious persons have become disabled, and some have been buried on both sides of the Yellow River.

Of the [-] Rank [-] exploits, only Du Yu was uninjured, five were killed in the subsequent battle, and seven were seriously injured...

Yang Zheng checked one by one, and behind each name of the reward, there was a Xuanyi Envoy to verify the pledge, and there was also a confirmation from Jiu Camping.

No matter who is alive, sacrificed, or injured, the reward will never change.

Although this series of battles has been victorious and fruitful, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and it is indeed time to rest.

The prisoners of the Yongliang Army at the Fuyin Ferry have obviously changed a lot under the ideological offensive of the Xuanyi Division in the past two months.

In any era, people's desire for land has never been greater.

It also surpassed his loyalty to Luoyang.

Moreover, Yang Zheng was not a traitor, he became a "Loyal Minister of the Great Wei" under the propaganda of Xuanyi Division.

The captives gradually felt at ease.

When Jiu Yeying secretly took back their wives and children, no matter how great the hatred was, all the hatred disappeared.

Most of the Yongliang army are from Tianshui, Guangwei, and Sanfu. Tianshui, Guangwei, and Fufeng are not far from Xiping. Now Deng Ai has retreated to Nan'an, and Sima Fu has retreated to Chang'an.

"The friction between the Shu army and our army continued. Zhang Sima led his troops back to Fanghan to avoid accidents." These days, Du Yu is the busiest, and he has lost a lot of weight.

But his face is getting more and more radiant.

"Yuan Kai, I want to stay in Longxi as a buffer, how about letting Deng Ai and Jiang Wei compete?"

If you don't find something for the Shu army, maybe one day Jiang Wei's knife will be pointed at him.

Although there is a tacit understanding, Yang Zheng is still the enemy of the Shu Kingdom for a day without taking off Cao Wei's tiger skin.

When the benefits are large enough, the Shu army will definitely make a move.

Du Yu cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate has exactly this intention. In the future, the Shu army can be used to check and balance Luoyang's counterattack."

Wei Guan's eyes flickered and said: "This subordinate thinks that the most urgent thing now is to transfer the rule to Guzang!"
