Chapter 443
Liangzhou.

The looting of Guanzhong continued.

Basically, everything that can be taken away is taken away, and what cannot be taken away is burned with fire.

Farms were trampled on, canals were leveled, and villages were burned.

At the beginning, the people were still resistant, but after missing the spring plowing, they heard that there was a mouthful of porridge in Liangzhou, so they moved westward on their own initiative.

The fields in Guanzhong are not theirs, and they have to bear extremely high land taxes. If they don't leave, they will die.

The Liangzhou army continued to advance eastward.

On May [-], the city of Lantian, an important town in the south of the Wei River, was raided, and more than [-] people were captured. Nearly a thousand ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and camels were transported back and forth, and Lantian City was almost emptied, leaving only the bare loess city wall. .

On May [-], soldiers surrounded Linjin.

On May [-]th, it went straight to Tongguan.

The scouts hovered like hawks, and wherever there was a gap, the cavalry came roaring like a pack of wolves smelling blood.

There is no inch of peace in Guanzhong, and Chang'an has become a de facto isolated city.

The food in the city was obviously not enough to support hundreds of thousands of food, so Sima Fu ordered Kaicheng to let the old, weak, women and children out of the city.

As long as they are human, Yang Zheng wants to transport them back to Guzang by ox cart for resettlement, and give porridge and food along the way, and the resistance of the people has dissipated a lot.

The Sima family made a lot of preparations in Guanzhong. Linjin, Tongguan, and Wuguan were all defended by [-] to [-] Luoyang Chinese troops.

Facing the increasing pressure from Liangzhou, Luoyang will of course make a series of reactions.

"Sima Zhao took Wang Ji as the governor of Yongzhou, the general who conquered the west, and the military governor of Yongliang who held the festival. He led 11 generals including Pang Hui, Lu Fan, Wen Yang, Xu Yi, and Quan Yi, and 14 Chinese troops stationed in Chang'an. Send Ma Long, Quan Duan, Tang Zi, Wen Hu, Jiang Ban, Ju An and other [-] generals and [-] troops into Taiyuan!" Meng Guan read the latest Luoyang information.

Upon hearing Pang Hui's name, Yang Zheng lifted his spirits.

More than ten years have passed, and Pang Hui is still working as a horse boy in Sima's family, but he has succeeded in "starting a business", and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Hearing the names of Wen Yang and Ma Long again, I was shocked.

In this era, Wen Yang is undoubtedly the ceiling of the fierce general.

Ma Long may not be as brave as Wen Yang, but his military strategy is definitely the best in the world.

3000 people cut off the heads of the bald tree.

Of the two, one is courageous, the other is resourceful, and there are Quan Duan, Tang Zi and others, all of whom have been veterans who have been powerful for decades.

Wang Ji in the direction of Chang'an is not an ordinary person.

After Deng Ai's death, he, Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Zhou Tai were the four dogs of the Sima family.

Sima Shi destroyed Wuqiu Jian, and Sima Zhao destroyed Zhuge Dan. They fought hard and fierce battles.

Needless to say, Pang Hui, Lu Fan is also a great general, Xu Yi and Ju An are not well-known, but they are probably not far behind.

After pacifying Huainan, the Sima family really pointed their knives at him.

After Wang Ji's [-] Chinese troops stationed in Chang'an, can he still rob so brazenly?
This man has always used his troops vigorously, advocating offense without losing his composure.

He will never miss any battle he can fight, and with a fierce man like Wen Yang under his command, Xiao Guan's pressure is increasing.

"Order: Zhang Te was transferred to the general of Dongzhong Lang to defend Xiaoguan, Zhou Yu's North Zhonglang remained unchanged and moved to defend Yanmen, Yin Chun was transferred to Xizhong Lang to station in Gaochang, and Zhou Zhi was promoted to Nanzhong Lang."

The sharpest spear is against the strongest shield.

Zhang Te has been hidden in the snow for so many years, it's time to use it.

"In addition, Meng Yu, Liu Heng, Ma Xun, Pang Qing, Tian Xu and others will return to Guzang." If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will follow.

These five people are good at attacking, staying in Yanmen and Beidi is a waste.

But then again, as long as Wang Ji's [-] Chinese troops are wiped out, the land in Yongliang is still up to him.

Wasn't Du Shu's strategy at the beginning just to besiege the city and fight for aid?
If Wen Yang was really invincible, he wouldn't rush to the street again and again.

What about the unique Xiang Yu?

"It is said that Du Yu and Wei Guan came to discuss military affairs."

"only!"

Not long after, the two came one after the other, and Meng Guan had already explained the new situation in Guanzhong Taiyuan on the way.

"Wang Ji is here so that he can try his hand at being a general!" Du Yu cupped his hands.

"Oh?" Yang Zheng became very interested.

"The situation in Yongliang can be changed without one or two good generals. I am the knife and the other is the fish. With the advantage of the iron cavalry, I can slaughter them at will!"

The strategy set at the beginning was to use Chang'an as a millstone to wear down the strength of the Central Plains.

Wang Ji came just in time.

Yang Zheng took it for granted, "That's right, Sima Fu is determined to hide in Chang'an. No matter how sharp our army is, we can't find any openings! Wang Ji is good at attacking, so he must have a battle with our army!"

"Actually, Sima Zhao still has a loophole." Wei Guan suddenly said.

"Boyu, please tell me." What Du Yu can see, Yang Zheng can almost see, but what Wei Guan sees is often dark and deadly things.

"Shi Jian, the governor of Bingzhou, was a scholar. At that time, he served as Shang Shulang and Zuo Cheng under the command of General Cao. After the Gaoping Mausoleum Revolution, he joined Sima Yi with He Zeng. He played a great role in the demonstration, so he was entrusted with important tasks and was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou. Now that there are so many generals under his command, he must not be able to give orders, maybe Taiyuan has a chance for me!" Wei Guan smiled habitually.

Tang Zi and Ma Long are characters who have been turned over and over several times.

Quan Duan, Ju An, and Jiang Ban are not honest people either.

Shi Jian is a scribe, can he really control it?
Of course, it doesn't mean that literati are not good. Lu Xun, a scholar, burned a company for [-] miles, destroying Liu Bei's reputation for decades.

But the odds of that happening are slim to none.

In the thousands of years in China, how many people can reach Lu Xun's level?
If Shi Jian is really capable, Yang Zheng should have heard his name in history.

In a word, the Sima family has a lot of water under their command.

Sima Zhao made a comprehensive compromise with the gentry, and the ghosts and snakes in the gentry also skyrocketed.

Of course, it is impossible for all of them to be at the level of Deng Ai, Wang Chang, and Chen Tai.

In recent years, the demand for Wushi powder, Shu brocade, female slaves, Pu Tao wine, and pepper in Luoyang has been increasing, which explains many problems from the side.

In fact, the pillars of the Sima family were all promoted by Sima Yi, such as Deng Ai, Wang Chang, Wang Ji, Zhou Tai, Shi Bao, Hu Zun and so on.

"Taiyuan matter, my subordinates will give it a try." Wei Guan begged for orders.

"With Boyu in the north, I don't have to worry about it! The things I use can be directly transferred from the treasury." Yang Zheng laughed.

"Thank you General, but it may take some time to slowly penetrate."

"It's natural." Yang Zheng had great confidence in Wei Guan.

If it succeeds, it will be a huge profit.

Even if it is unsuccessful, the loss is minimal.

All that's left is to prepare well and give Wang Ji a blow when the time comes.

Right now, in Longyou, Xiping, and Hequ, Lu Zhi is in charge of farming, and in Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and Beidi, Yang Xiao and Yang Ji are in charge of farming.

Grain production is expected to double this year.

The racecourses in Hehuang, Liangzhou, and Hetao have been on the right track under Suo Jing's governance.

In more than three months, more than 1 Mobei horses will be ready for slaughter.

This year, Guanzhong was plundered, and people, money, food, and livestock flooded in. Liangzhou not only survived the most difficult days, but also stored a large amount of food.

It is fully capable of eating Wang Ji's 4 horses.
