Chapter 475
"Jiang Wei gathers troops to gather in the valley?" Yang Zheng stared at the sand table.

In Xiahouba's secret letter, Jiang Wei's intentions have been explained in detail.

Hanzhong has become a huge strategic trap, and whoever enters first will be the turtle in the urn.

Since the Northern Expedition fails, lure the enemy to attack and wipe out the main force of the enemy in Hanzhong.

In fact, in history, Zhonghui was blocked in Hanzhong, and he could neither break through the Jiange, nor the two cities of Han and Le.

If there are no variables, Zhong Hui is likely to be consumed by Jiang Wei.

But Deng Ai did not take the usual route, and sneaked into Yinping. At the age of almost 70, he rolled down the cliff in sheepskin, three times, five times and two times to solve Zhuge Zhan, and Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, surrendered the whole city.

History seems to be back on its original track.

Zhong Hui is daring, and Jiang Wei is even more daring.

"Zhong Hui has sent so many gifts, I can't be stingy, I should give him a copy, and reveal the strategy of gathering troops to the valley to Chang'an."

The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Whoever strikes first will suffer.

"Your Majesty wants to bring disasters to the south? Zhong Hui is very happy. If Shu and Wei attack each other, our army will be able to conquer the world!" Pang Qing said pleasantly.

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "Of course it's not that simple. You can think of it, I can think of it, and Zhong Hui can think of it. In this game of chess, three people play. Jiang Wei will make the first move. If we don't follow, let Zhong Hui pick it up."

There are no fools these days, so we can only take one step at a time.

Before Sima Zhao did not overwhelm Mount Tai, Liangzhou was invincible, with great power to choose and a lot of room for maneuvering.

It can be Guanzhong or Bingzhou.

This is the same as the game of great powers in later generations.

Small and weak countries will draw out their knives and show their teeth and claws at every turn when they encounter any problems, while big countries sit still and fish.

This is exactly the situation of the Kingdom of Shu.

There are only [-] troops in the whole country, some of them guard Nanzhong, some of them guard Yong'an, and some of them guard Chengdu. The strength of Hanzhong is stretched.

Liangzhou claimed to have [-] Xiliang cavalry.

But the 54 Zhechong mansions add up to 3 troops, and counting the herdsmen in Hetao, Xihai, and Liangzhou, they can take out another [-] Qingqi.

There are also slaves, young adults, etc. that are not included.

In terms of war potential, Liangzhou is much stronger than Shu.

The most direct impact of the Chang'an War on the world was the strong rise of Liangzhou.

The Kingdom of Shu has been in the Northern Expedition for decades, and even the city wall of Chang'an has not been touched.

Who is strong or weak is clear at a glance.

"This year, I'm going to have a small fight with Zhong Hui. The most urgent task right now is to absorb 20 Chang'an civilians and [-] prisoners. You Xuanyi Division should hurry up." Yang Zheng said to Pang Qing.

"Wei Zhu's storyteller group has been sent over. According to the wishes of the princes, we will make the oath of Luoshui, lie to kill Wang Ling, and King Guanqiu Jianqin into operas. By the way, there is also Wei Zhu's own composition of Luo Gu Breakthrough .”

The scapegoats of the Sima family were one after another, and Yang Zheng certainly would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Opera has existed since ancient times. It was called Haiyou and Youling in the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it was called Baixi in the Han Dynasty.

Combining with the stage plays of later generations, Yang Zheng slightly improved it, making it more accessible and easy to understand, so that illiterate people can understand it.

Wei Zhu was well versed in this, and Yang Zheng knew what to do as soon as he uttered an idea.

"What is Luo Gu breaking through?" Yang Zheng didn't remember this program.

"Wei Lingshi also made operas about the battles of the princes and marquises in his early years. From the battle of Luogu to the defeat of Ye Wudai and Midang, the dominance of Xiping, and the sweeping of Yongliang, all his subordinates have verified them one by one. There is no disrespect, and the soldiers were greatly shocked when they saw it, and the response was good." Pang Qing clasped his hands.

This way of strengthening one's prestige is a pleasant surprise.

Wei Zhu is quite talented.

This method is more effective than a thousand or ten thousand slogans.

"To send more people to Wei Zhu, not only the captives and refugees, but also the pro-military and government soldiers, including all counties and counties in Liangzhou, must have Xuanyi Division's drama and storytelling. In addition, they can also infiltrate the Central Plains and Shu Kingdom. If you want people to give people, if you want money to give money, the Sima family’s shitty deeds, let them be infamous forever!" If you are a talent, you need to use it to the fullest. Isn’t it just to promote this?
"Wei!" Pang Qing cupped his hands.

After making arrangements, Yang Zheng took Liu Heng and his bodyguards to visit the refugees outside Guzang City.

Now Liangzhou, as long as they are integrated, their strength will rise to a higher level.

A population of more than 20 is undoubtedly a colossus in this era.

If the surrounding tribes can have a population of 5 to [-], they can be considered a big force.

The 10,000+ people of the Tuoba tribe are powerful in Monan and Mobei, and have merged with some areas of the state.

After more than three months, the refugees have adapted to the current life. They can drink two full meals of porridge every day, with blood on their faces and radiance in their eyes.

Soldiers from Digging Army and Pinglei Camp are helping them build a village, complete with wells, bathhouses, canteens, and toilets.

The newly appointed corps chiefs, chiefs, and chiefs are all veterans and disabled soldiers who have retired from the army.

The officials of the Tuntian Division are dividing the fields and arranging farm tools for the upcoming spring plowing.

Yang Zheng's visit in a micro-clothes did not disturb the natural order of the government.

Overall, quite satisfied.

The only downside is that the attitude of the officials and yamen servants is not very good, even bad.

Yang Zheng can completely understand.

If they are not vicious, the refugees and captives will not be obedient, and the government's decrees will not be carried out so quickly.

When dealing with grassland herdsmen in the past, the yamen servants spoke directly with knives.

This is the folk custom in the Northwest. If the government is as soft as a sheep, these unruly people will be as fierce as a wolf.

In order to maintain the authority of the government, these actions were acquiesced.

In the fields, there are busy people everywhere.

The refugees spontaneously dredged the land, dug and built canals, and worked diligently and willingly.

The only thing that can keep people is the land, and the only thing that can stabilize the world is food. This principle couldn't be simpler.

If the Sima family was tied up with the gentry, they themselves would be tied up with the people and the army.

However, at this stage, it has only completed the binding with the army, and has not yet completed the binding with the people.

This is the ultimate big move, and it's not yet time to cast it.

"As the heavens witness, I, Sima Yi, swear by Luoshui. As long as General Cao puts down his military power and returns to Luoyang, he will be as prosperous and rich as before!" The actor with a sheepskin on his head bowed his back and imitated Sima Yi's tone.

There are also Jiang Ji, Chen Tai, Xu Yun, Cao Shuang and other characters on stage.

"Teacher keeps his word?"

"I, the ministers of the Sima family for generations, can't believe what I say..."

clang clang clang...

Yang Zheng only felt a gust of sand sculpture blowing towards his face, but the crowd in the audience watched with great concentration, and everyone gritted their teeth.

There are not many entertainment activities in this era, so it would be nice to have this stuff.

"Kill! Kill that old thief Sima!" Someone threw his stinky shoe on it.

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the stones, mud, rotten leaves... everything under the stage was thrown on the stage, and in the blink of an eye, several players were drowned.

It was the yamen servants carrying whips that calmed down everyone's emotions.
