Chapter 412 Qing Ye
The bloody heads of Deng Ai and his son were placed on the table.

Yang Zheng looked at it for a long time, and a stone fell from his heart, but he also felt a little sad for the father and son.

Sima Zhao didn't pay much attention to him who was so loyal to charge for the Sima family.

If he had been promoted to General Zhengxi and Governor of Yongliang instead of Sima Wang, maybe Yongliang would have been a different situation.

"Give it a good burial." The deceased is gone, and since the person is dead, the hatred will disappear.

Yang Zheng's eyes turned to Tian Xu who was kneeling on the ground, "General Tian abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it's really the great Wei's luck!"

After so many years, finally a Han will vote for himself. It seems that it is beneficial to hold high the banner of Cao Wei.

"My Tian family has always been loyal to the Great Wei. My grandfather and Lord Xia Hou were ranked as the fourth congregation. Xu should have surrendered early. I only hate that I can't help myself. I was imprisoned by Deng Ai. I hope the general will forgive me!" Tian Xu also spoke very beautifully.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the words are, it can't change his speculator's nature.

Yang Zheng didn't mind listening to it, he didn't take it seriously, staring at Tian Xu's face and said: "General Tian killed Deng Ai and his son, thanks to Great Wei, how about being a school lieutenant first?"

Tian Xu happened to be a school lieutenant under Deng Ai.

However, the school lieutenant in Liangzhou has much higher gold content than the Sima family, and he is a senior officer who can really lead the army.

Besides, Feng Gao couldn't stand it anymore.

Liangzhou does not lack one or two brave generals like Tian Xu who charge forward, what is lacking is handsome talents and advisers.

Tian Xu cupped his hands and said: "The general's tolerance is the grace of rebuilding, Xu'an dare to say anything else!"

A person who knows how to be a human being is generally not too bad. It is not too unjust for Deng Ai and his son to die in his hands.

The hostility towards him from the surrounding generals was much less.

"Okay, okay, my Liangzhou has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds, and punished for demerits. You beheaded Deng Ai and his son, and you have five ranks of merit. Add Fei Qilang, give 500 taels of gold, [-] pieces of silk, and Guzang goes to the house. One!"

"Thank you, General!"

The most important confidant of the Sima family died, and Yang Zheng suddenly felt a lot easier.

As for Sima Fu and Sima Wang, they are just household dogs.

Liangzhou is truly invincible.

Even if Sima Zhao came with hundreds of thousands of troops in the future, Liangzhou would still be able to resist.

Not long after, Pang Qingxin came to report, "General, Fan Zhen, Yao Kehui, Yuan Shao, Wang Lie and other generals were all captured alive. Qiu Ben and Qianhong died in battle. Only Duan Zhuo escaped. More than [-] people!"

There were no important people among these people, they were old acquaintances. They were the ones who were captured in the last battle against Qiang. Yang Zheng didn't care much about it, and it was time for them to suffer. "All of them were demoted to prisoners."

Pang Qing was stunned for a moment, "These people are quite talented, why don't the generals take them for their own use?"

"Why do you say?" Yang Zheng smiled.

After thinking about it, Pang Qing smiled wryly and said, "These people probably won't really surrender."

"That's right. They surrendered a long time ago. Now that the knife is on their necks, the surrender is not sincere. If they fight against Sima Zhao in the future, if these people betray the water again, won't they be a drag on our army? There are so many brave men in the army. Seats should be reserved for one’s own people.”

A few days later, the army returned to rest one after another, and the prisoners were sent to Juyan, Beidi, Shuofang and other counties in batches.

Longyou has been decided, and the next step is to meet with the Shu army in Guanzhong.

Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng.

Shu got Fufeng, Yang Zheng got Feng Yi, and left Beijing Zhaoyin to Sima's family.

Jiang Wei arranged it properly.

However, when Yang Zheng led the army into the land of Weibei, Guanzhong had already been fortified and cleared.

There is no smoke in a hundred miles, and there is no rooster crowing in a thousand miles...

Villages were abandoned, only wild foxes and wolves shuttled among them.

Large tracts of fertile land have also been artificially destroyed.

There are desolate and lonely scenes everywhere.

Occasionally, some old and weak could be seen, hunched over in the collapsed village, looking at the Liangzhou army indifferently and numbly.

Wherever the army passed by, cities such as Jingyang, Gaoling, and Pinyang surrendered directly, and the city was empty, leaving only a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled who could not leave. Thousands of corpses should be people who are unwilling to evacuate...

"Bah, this old man Sima is really vicious, he won't give us a penny." Liu Heng cursed.

Yang Zheng also wanted to scold, but found it meaningless.

Pang Qing brought some old men.

Yang Zheng said with a gentle face, "Old man, where have everyone gone?"

Several old men stared at Yang Zheng blankly.

"Are you old bastards deaf or dumb?" Liu Heng asked angrily.

"Ah, bah!" A mouthful of yellow phlegm flew towards Yang Zheng's face, "Rebel, if it weren't for you, how could our family be destroyed, you, you kill us too!"

Lin Sen beside him blocked the phlegm with a slap.

The guards immediately drew their swords and wanted to kill them.

"Stop." Yang Zheng stopped, "Give them some food and let them fend for themselves."

It is always the people who are most injured in war.

"Why didn't the general kill them?" Liu Heng was still angry.

"What's the use of killing them?" Yang Zheng asked back.

Pang Qing said: "Sima Fu deliberately kept these old and weak people for us. If we kill them and fall into his tricks, our army will bear a bad name, and the bad name will spread. They will be united."

"Not bad." Yang Zheng praised.

"Everyone in the Sima family has a heart like a snake and a scorpion!" Liu Heng made a summary.

Yang Zheng and Pang Qing laughed together.

But now there is another problem in front of him. Sima Fu is strong and clear, and Feng Yi County has no more money.

If a large army is stationed here, it is inevitable to transport food and grass, or to farm on a large scale...

More importantly, Feng Yijun is sandwiched between Hedong and Jing Zhaoyin, facing pincer attacks at any time.

Linjin (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province), where Feng Yizhi ruled, is close to Hedong and a little far away from Anding. Like Chang'an, even if it is defeated, it will be difficult to defend against Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops in the future.

This is in great conflict with Du Yu's grand strategy.

Without a population, Feng Yi would be of little value.

It is impossible for Yang Zheng to leave Hexi, Hetao, Longxi and other inland areas without operating. On the contrary, he devoted a lot of energy to Feng Yi, the place where the Four World Wars were fought, and competed with the Sima family for the gains and losses of each city and place.

This is undoubtedly a trade-off.

Therefore, Feng Yi can only be a buffer zone and a future battlefield in Yang Zheng's mind.

"Where is the Shu army?"

"As soon as the news arrived in the morning, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua attacked and broke through the Great Wall. Sima Wang led the army back to Chang'an, and the Shu army entered Wugong City!"

In fact, there is still a hard bone behind the Shu army-Chen Cang.

After Zhuge Wuhou's first Northern Expedition failed, the State of Wei quickly made adjustments to strengthen the city defenses of Chencang, Shanggu, and Didao, and built Qishan Fort in Qishan to block the throat of the Shu army entering and leaving Qishan.

The Shu army has less than 2 people, and it is difficult to capture the important town of Chencang.

"Report, there is a letter from the Shu army." The scout came to report.

Pang Qing took the silk, shook it off, and began to read, "General Wei Zhenxi, in the past, Qushan was separated for several years. Unexpectedly, the general will become what it is today. The Sima family is the common enemy of the world. Since it is here, why not send troops to Chang'an together? If you can overcome it, you can overcome it. If you cannot overcome it, it will also shake the world. Jiang Wei bows."
