contend

Chapter 495
Qin built a high fortress to face the state of Jin, so it is called Lin Jin.

After that, it was the important place where Kanto and Guanzhong competed.

Linjin is in the north of the Wei River, and it is the seat of Fengyi County, facing Hedong County across the Yellow River.

There is a flat river around, suitable for cavalry to charge, it is the best battlefield Yang Zheng can think of.

If Sima Zhao ignores it, Yang Zheng will take the city and open up the passage to Bingzhou. Go up and attack Taiyuan with Yanmen, go down and sweep Hanoi County, and go straight to Luoyang.

With the cavalry in hand, you can go wherever you want!
A snowstorm arrived as expected, leaving a layer of pale white on the ground.

The snow had just covered the horseshoe.

The cold is also one of the advantages of the Liangzhou Army.

The Weishui River and the Yellow River happened to be frozen, and the cavalry was unimpeded!
The so-called timing is here.

People in the northwest have drank the northwest wind for so many years, and they have no fear of wind and snow.

Especially the Qiang people are extremely cold-tolerant, and many women do not take shelter from the wind and snow when giving birth.

Before Yang Zheng arrived in Liangzhou, many Qiang people ran wildly in the snow with bare feet.

One side of water and soil supports one side of people, and the bitter cold place also has the benefits of bitter cold.

Only those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. If the wife and children are hot on the kang, who would want to put their head on the waistband of their trousers and die?
This is also the reason why Yang Zheng set up slaves, waiting for return, governing the people, and the reason why he turned military merits in the [-]th grade.

Where there is a level, there will be motivation.

Want to get rich?Go to the battlefield to chop people!
Want to stand tall?On the battlefield!

Want to leapfrog class?It's still a battlefield!
Military merit is everything in Liangzhou.

As long as the upward channel is opened, the poorer the people, the more fighting spirit they have.

This is the harmony of people in Liangzhou.

With the addition of the right time and the harmony of people, Sima Zhao's geographical advantages, strengths and weaknesses can be seen at a glance.

Troop strength is often not the most decisive factor in war.

"Where did Sima Zhao go?" Yang Zheng rode on the black feather, looking at the vast white wilderness and the drowsy world.

The soldiers around him were packed tightly, there was nothing else in Liangzhou, sheepskins were everywhere.

Wool jackets and leather shoes have already become standard equipment.

Many soldiers will also bring their own wolf skin greaves.

"My lord, Sima Zhao's army has just arrived in Hongnong." Meng Guan said.

"It's too slow. We all rushed from Guzang to Pinyang, but they arrived at Hongnong slowly." Yang Zheng laughed.

"I heard that Sima Zhao caught wind and cold occasionally, and most of the soldiers suffered from frostbite and rested in Hongnong." Pang Qing clasped his hands.

Marching in winter is a taboo.

Yang Zheng walked from Liangzhou to Guanzhong, and it got warmer and warmer, while Sima Zhao's army walked from east to west, and naturally it got colder and colder.

Liu Heng stretched out his ears, just when he heard it, he yelled: "Then what are you waiting for, take advantage of his illness and kill him, now go to Hongnong and chop off Sima Zhao's thief!"

Meng Guan and Pang Qing rolled their eyes at the same time.

After Wen Yang came, Liu Heng became more low-key, and took the initiative to give up his position as the number one general in Liangzhou, and very modestly called himself the second general.

"Hongnong is an important city in the world. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It strangles the Yellow River in the north and Hangu Pass in the east. It is strong in Weihan. It is an important place for military strategists. Sima Zhao's 13 Chinese army, you, the second most powerful general in Liangzhou, can't rush Come in front of him." Meng Guan joked while explaining.

The surrounding people burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Heng grinned viciously towards the surroundings.

Although the second fiercest general had a lot of water, but with his brute strength and mace, there were really few people in the army who were his opponents.

"Ren Wu is right, we can indeed go to Hongnong Hui for a while with Sima Zhao!" Yang Zheng was inspired by Liu Heng's words.

It doesn't matter if you fight or not, but tens of thousands of cavalry broke through the Yellow River, bypassed Tongguan, plundered Hedong, and came to Hongnong. The impact on Sima Zhao was extremely huge.

Don't think that it is safe to shrink in Weihan or Weinan.

I can come to Hongnong with troops, and I can sweep Bingzhou, Nanyang, Hebei and other places!
The surrounding generals were all surprised by Yang Zheng's unconstrained ideas.

"The movement of water avoids heights and tends to descend, the shape of soldiers avoids solidity and strikes the void; water controls the flow because of the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy. Soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape, and those who can win because of the enemy's changes are called God!" Yang Zheng said slowly.

Every word is sonorous and forceful, and every time I say a word, I spit out a ball of white air.

It is not advisable to talk about war on paper, but the art of war on paper can expand the depth of thinking of generals.

Yang Zheng knew that he was not a genius-type handsome talent, so he studied the art of war hard, and cooperated with the theory in actual combat, so that he could master all kinds of things.

Of course, this is only Yang Zheng's personal understanding.

As soon as he made his debut, he was a peerless star, and there were many people there.

The generals immediately handed over, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Then set off and let Sima Zhao see the heroic appearance of our Liangzhou soldiers!" Yang Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!"

In the snowstorm, the [-]-step rider continued to trek.

Passing through several small cities such as Lian Shao and Chongquan, several defenders on the city opened the city gates as soon as they saw the Liangzhou cavalry.

There are not many people in the city, and there is no defensive value.

When they arrived in Linjin, the defenders felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. There were many swords and spears on the city walls, and the trembling soldiers stood in the wind and snow.

The Sima family's banner was drooping sickly in the wind and snow.

"Someone heard that Sima Liang was insane?" Yang Zheng asked.

"My lord, that's Sima Gan, who is defending Wuguan," Pang Qing said.

The luck of the Sima family rests entirely on Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, and the rest are basically mediocre people.

Sima Wang is greedy for money, Sima Gan is insane, Sima Yan is lustful, and his son Sima Zhong is a fool...

There is only one Sima You who is not bad and has a little talent.

Sima Liang is Sima Yi's fifth son. If he had the ability, he would have been praised by the gentry a long time ago.

"Meng Guan, I will give you five thousand infantry to block Sima Liang here and build a camp."

If the army crosses the river and goes deep into Hebei, then Linjin will become the focus. Sima Ban in Tongguan and Yanghu in Chang'an may come to support and block Yang Zheng's retreat and grain road.

Of course, Yang Zheng also hoped that Yang Hu could come out of the iron barrel in Chang'an.

In the current situation, except for Sima Zhao, whoever dares to show his face, Yang Zheng will immediately turn around and hit whoever is the first!

Therefore, the decisive battle in the future is likely to be in Linjin.

"Wei!" Meng Guan obeyed.

At this time, the scouts came to report in a hurry, "Your Majesty, the governor of Hedong, Wang Zhuo, led the army and people to cut through the river ice, destroy the bridge, and set up antlers and camps on the east bank!"

Yang Zheng was taken aback for a moment. Someone really didn't want to open his eyes. Originally, he just wanted to pass by Hedong, but he didn't expect them to take the initiative to come up and get stabbed!
Hedong County is extremely rich, it is a granary in itself, and there is a large salt lake in the territory.

At that time, Du Yu's grandfather, Du Ji, ran Hedong County, and his political achievements were the best in the world.

During the battle between Cao Cao and Ma Chao at Tongguan, the grain and grass of the 20 troops were all transported by Hedong County, which lasted for half a year. Until the end of the war, there were still [-] shi of grain left in Hedong.

Taking this place, Yang Zheng doesn't need to rely on supplies from the rear.

"Wang Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong, was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. He is quite famous, but his political achievements are average, and he has never led an army in battle." Pang Qing quickly found records in various small books.

"This man is so stupid, he can't dig through the whole Yellow River? Mantis arm to block the car!" Yang Zheng shook the snow particles on his body, "All the troops obey the order, and follow me to take the Hedong!"

"Follow the order!"
