Chapter 464 Rejection
Zheng County, military council.

"Pang Hui refuses to surrender? I'll kill him now!" Liu Heng said angrily.

Yang Zheng glanced at it, and Liu Heng's voice gradually became softer, "What did Pang Hui say?"

Li Jidao, envoy of Xuanyi: "I just asked about the official position of my subordinates, so I asked them to come back."

Yang Zheng laughed loudly, "Pang Hui thinks our peace talks are not sincere enough."

If Pang Hui was really loyal, he would be more violent and kill the envoy directly, but be more gentle and drive him out of the camp.

Now that they met each other, it was not hard to guess what Pang Hui was thinking when he was so coy.

If you are willing to meet people, it means that you are willing to talk.

There is no business that cannot be negotiated in this world, only the price that cannot be negotiated.

"You did a good job. The bounty cake is three yuan. I will credit you for it." If you are willing to go to the enemy camp alone, this courage is worth rewarding.

"Thank you, Junhou!" Li Ji was overjoyed.

"Since Pang Hui is waiting for me in Lishan, why not go and see me." Yang Zheng smiled.

"A few days ago, didn't that guy Pang Hui call the general a thief? Will he really surrender?" Liu Heng picked up which pot he didn't open.

"At this time and at that time, if he was really a loyal man, he would not have abandoned Cao Shuang and joined the Sima family. This person is the most able to read words and deeds. Now that he is poor and alone, how could he be loyal to the Sima family? It's just a bargain. "Yang Zheng is [-]% sure of persuading Pang Hui to surrender.

Leaving Meng Guan with 2000 men to guard Zheng County, he summoned Meng Yu from Lantian, and the army went straight to Lishan.

Zhang Te has already blocked the major mountain roads of Lishan Mountain. The antlers are heavy, and there is no fortification because of the frozen soil in winter.

After Yang Zheng arrived, he surrounded Lishan Mountain.

Every day, the war drums and horns sounded together, the soldiers shouted loudly, and the cavalry galloped at the foot of the mountain.

Put on the look of attacking the mountain at any time.

In fact, Mount Li is not that steep, it is just a remnant of the Qinling Mountains. It is named Lishan because it looks like a galloping horse. The mountain is gentle and the mountain roads are winding. In history, Zhou Youwang's "Princes of Fenghuo Opera" was here, and the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was also here.

Pang Hui chose this mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he has some foresight.

Although the wind and snow have stopped now, it is still very cold. There are hot springs on Lishan Mountain, so it cannot be frozen, thirsty, or hungry.

If you are really determined to be a turtle, you won't be able to attack for a while.

But this guy is full of cleverness.

If he cooperated with Wang Ji that day, even if he didn't support Chang'an, Yang Zheng would not let go to attack Chang'an if he ran to Jiacheng and yelled twice and shot two arrows.

Therefore, Pang Hui is only suitable for charging, not leading the army alone.

In order to put some pressure on Pang Hui, Yang Zheng also called in the catapult from Jiacheng.

They bombarded the mountains day and night.

It doesn't matter whether there is an effect or not, just bring out the momentum.

In negotiating this kind of thing, it is best to let the other party take the initiative.

After two days of bombing, there is still no movement on the mountain, which shows that the pressure is not enough.

Yang Zheng could only use attack to promote the discussion, and selected more than [-] Qiang and Han soldiers who were good at fighting in the mountains, wearing heavy armor and holding large shields, and attacked the mountain from three sides.

"Last time, Pang Hui was let go, so today's matter will happen. This subordinate is willing to be a striker, and Pang Hui will come to offer it!" Liu Heng has always been worried about not winning Pang Hui.

"That's not necessary, just do what you can, enough is enough, just grab the top of the mountain." Yang Zheng patted him on the shoulder.

When the fight really started, Liu Heng's momentum was very loud, and there were curses all over the mountains and plains: "Pang Hui, come and die!"

As if to scold Lishan down.

Just as Yang Zheng expected, Lishan was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the few sporadic contact battles did not bring any benefits.

In the field battle on the plain, Yang Zheng believed that his subordinates could easily destroy the Chinese army.

But this kind of mountain warfare, where the enemy has enough food and grass, is condescending, so it is not so easy to win.

This contact war not only did not put pressure on Pang Hui, but gave him confidence.

Liu Heng went down the mountain with an aggrieved face, with a few arrow feathers sticking out of his shoulders, making him look like a birdman.

"You messed up again, kid?" Yang Zheng joked.

Liu Heng curled his lips, "It's not that the subordinates are incompetent, but that fellow Pang Hui is too cunning. As soon as we went up, he set down the wood. The mountain road is narrow and we can't stand people at all."

The surrounding soldiers all laughed, Liu Heng has always been domineering and domineering, and sometimes he was aggrieved.

Yang Zheng smiled, "Go and rest first."

Liu Heng glared at the people around him who were laughing at him, and retreated with a mace in hand.

Yang Zheng looked at Lishan. If Pang Hui didn't cry when he saw the coffin, and didn't hurt him, he must think he still had a chance.

"Report to the Lord, Guzang and Du Changshi have a letter!" The soldiers rushed to say.

Yang Zheng took it, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought after reading it.

Du Yu proposed to move the people of Chang'an to Wuwei and Xiping as soon as possible while the wind and snow receded and the sun was warm in winter.

In the next two years, there will be a big battle in Chang'an, and it is extremely unwise to fight an offensive and defensive battle with Sima Zhao in Guanzhong. Liangzhou now has no strength to fight head-on with the Central Plains.

Therefore, we should follow the original strategy and use Guanzhong as the millstone to continuously consume the vital forces of the Central Plains.

As long as there is another big victory, even if the strength of the Central Plains is strong, it will not be able to support it. At that time, tens of thousands of horses can be dispatched from Yanmen, take Youyan in the east, go south and join Hebei, deter Heluo, and Guanzhong can be won without a fight.

The truth is this, but Yang Zheng feels a little unwilling.

It is really uncomfortable to take down Chang'an but not be able to occupy it.

Guanzhong in this era is densely covered with water networks and fertile land. There is Hetao in the north as a horse farm, the Hexi Corridor in the west connecting the Western Regions, and the Qinling Mountains in the south as a barrier. It is a real land of abundance.

Guanzhong was actually the first to receive this title.

But the three gates of Tianfu are all in the hands of Sima Zhao, so Yang Zheng can only do nothing.

If there is only one Tongguan, Yang Zheng can take it with all his might.

But there are still Puban and Wuguan to conquer Tongguan!
Dasan Pass, Chencang, Great Wall, and Luogukou in the south are all in the hands of the Shu army.

I only mastered one Xiao Pass.

Guanzhong suddenly became a place surrounded by enemies.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Zheng had no choice but to give up this land that he dreamed of.

To occupy Guanzhong, it is necessary to invest Liangzhou's limited strength, which is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

Chang'an is closer to Kanto and Hanzhong than to Liangzhou.

strategically disadvantaged.

Needless to say Sima Zhao, it is hard to say what the state of Shu is thinking.

Therefore, Chang'an is only suitable as a battlefield, hunting ground, and buffer zone, not for business operations.

"The man can afford it and put it down, order Pang Qing to cooperate with Du Yu and move the people into Liang." Yang Zheng immediately ordered.

"only!"

No matter how unwilling Yang Zheng was, this was the situation.

However, the situation can change at any time, as long as Sima Zhao wins again, the situation in Liangzhou and the Central Plains will undergo a qualitative change!

In fact, this time it has already hit Sima deeply.

A Chang'an, together with Sima Fu, Wang Ji, and [-] elite Chinese troops, Luoyang is already battered.

While comforting himself, laughter and cursing came from Lishan Mountain one after another: "Little Yang Zheng, go up the mountain quickly and die!"

"Little Yang Zheng, hurry home and feed..."

After that there are all kinds of foul language.

Even Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan took it with them.

It is understandable to bring Xia Houxuan, but it is inexplicable to bring Cao Shuang.

Perhaps in Pang Hui's mind, Cao Shuang was his benefactor. After all, every time Yang Zheng made a statement, he had to bring Cao Shuang.
