contend

Chapter 501
"Did you find Yang Hu?"

"My lord, there is none yet!"

"Live to see people, die to see corpses! The scouts spread out and searched for hundreds of miles around."

"only!"

In the cold night, there are scattered or surrendered people everywhere.

Fifty thousand cavalry met more than ten thousand infantry in the wilderness, and the outcome can be imagined.

After eating Yang Hu, the threat behind Yang Zheng will no longer exist, and he can deal with Sima Zhao at ease.

Yang Hu was not found until dawn.

But one thing is certain, Yang Hu can't escape, either he has been frozen to death, or his body is fragmented, mixed with other dead bodies, and has not been found yet.

Yang Hu is good at governance, has a high strategic vision, and has unique features in governing the people and the army.

What Sima Zhao lacks most is not generals, but talents like Yang Hu.

With the background of the Central Plains, as long as Sima Zhao is willing to use low-level generals, why worry about having no generals?
However, starting from Emperor Wei Ming, various positions in the court were gradually controlled by the gentry.

Zhang He, who had no family background, worked hard all his life, but was easily stepped under by Sima Yi and Guo Huai. Later, Zhang He had an epiphany and began to follow the principles of Confucius and Mencius.

It was even more obvious when it came to Sima Zhao.

There are no low-ranking families at the top, and no nobles at the bottom.

There are almost no poor families and common people above six hundred stones in the court.

Chen Tai, Jia Chong, Zhong Hui, Xun Xu, Chen Qian and others around Sima Zhao are not descendants of the nobles.

Of course, they are all talented people who can be reused.

But the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation will be killed, what about their third and fourth generations?
The decline of the Sima family is the most obvious. After Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, the Sima family also fell precipitously.

There is a saying in Zuo Zhuan: You will prosper with this, and you will die with it!

The Sima family rose up as a gentry, and it will surely perish because of the gentry.

Yang Zheng asked the soldiers to escort the captives back to Wannian to rest.

This battle has just begun.

In the afternoon, several scouts brought a seriously injured man with his eyes closed and his teeth clenched. His whole body was covered with wounds and frozen blood.

His bright armor was in pieces, as if he had been trampled hundreds of times under the hoof of a horse.

"My lord, my subordinates found Yang Hu among the corpses on the side of the Wei River. After being identified by the captives, there is no doubt about it." The scout clasped his hands.

"Everyone gets three gold cakes!" Yang Zheng was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Junhou!" The scouts were also overjoyed.

Yang Zheng tried his breath, but he was still alive.

A living Yanghu is of course more useful than a dead Yanghu.

What's more, Yang Zheng and him are both sons-in-law of the Xiahou family. According to their seniority, he should be called uncle...

But then again, Yang Hu is his uncle in name, and Sima Shi's brother-in-law, wouldn't he be able to become relatives with the Sima family...

Yang Zheng suddenly became confused.

The military doctors who went out with the army bandaged Yang Hu, but the army lacked medicine and the weather was extremely cold. Whether he survived or not depended on Yang Hu's own good fortune.

Yang Zheng sent people back to Guzang in an ox cart for treatment by Huang Fumi.

It is strange to say that the Huangfu clan is the largest gentry clan in Liangzhou, and the patriarch Huangfumi is Huangfusong's great-grandson, but he does not do business properly, does not do a good job of enclosing the land and population, and is obsessed with medical literature. "Etc., became famous for a while.

During the battle in Guanzhong, Yang Zheng invited Huangfu back to Guzang.

Huangfumi also became Qingying's sacrificial wine as a matter of course.

Yang Hu was seriously injured and captured, and Yang Zheng had a heart attack.

There are not many loyal ministers in the Sima family.

People like Zhong Hui, Jia Chong, and Xun Xu are not easy-going lamps, and they have their own thoughts.

Chen Ted was highly respected, but it was a pity that Sima Zhao did not dare to entrust him with important tasks.

If Chen Tai was the commander in this battle, he would have to take a detour.

The so-called will of God is nothing more than that.

The Central Plains is indeed powerful, but the gentry is not monolithic, and the Sima family is not invulnerable.

"Reporting to the Lord, Chen Qian led [-] horsemen to come to the aid of Wansui, and Sima Zhao came out of Huayin and went straight to Zheng County!" Pang Qing came to report.

Yang Hu's defeat was so fast that neither Chen Qian nor Sima Zhao received the news.

This is also an opportunity.

Yang Zheng looked at the cloudy sky, and a heavy snow seemed to be brewing again.

In the past few days, a lot of livestock died of freezing, but Mobei horses and Hehuang horses are resistant to the bitter cold, and the losses are relatively small. .

Difficulties for oneself must be even more difficult for the enemy.

The cold weather is the weather in Liangzhou!

"Chen Qian is looking for death!" Yang Zheng spit out a long stream of white gas from his mouth, a flaw of Yang Hu's made more flaws of the enemy.

Depending on how many times I have come, I will only go all the way!

Concentrate superior forces and destroy weak enemies!
The wild boar skin is determined by this hand in Liaodong.

With an army of 10,000+, communication between each other is a big problem, especially in such weather.

Chen Qian would never have thought that Yanghu's 5000 people would be wiped out before they lasted all night.

The land in Guanzhong has long been Yang Zheng's back garden, and he can come and leave whenever he wants.

Every time an enemy is eliminated, Sima Zhao's luck will decrease by one point!After eating Chen Qian, Sima Zhao's 13 troops are just beans on the grinding plate, just look at how to grind them!

The 12 troops, including Hanzhong Zhonghui, all rely on Guanzhong for food.

The soldiers opened their sleepy eyes, complained a little, fed the horses some bean millet flour, drank some water, then stepped back on the horses, ate some fried noodles on the horses' backs, and continued to hug the horses' necks for a nap.

Yang Zheng didn't close his eyes all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. His face was wrinkled by the cold wind, red and itchy. He didn't dare to use hot water when washing his face, so he could only apply snow water to his face.

After taking a sip of strong wine, the whole body felt warm.

"Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Zhou Tai are the only generals under Sima's command!" Pang Hui came forward at some point.

Yang Zheng shook his head, "You and I both served in the Chinese army, and there are many generals in the Chinese army, but Sima Zhao is unwilling to use them."

Pang Hui said with a smile: "What Jun Hou said is true. His subordinate is the Sima family, and he is only a low-ranking general. It's not because the Pang family is not a noble family."

Yang Zheng was taken aback, this guy was implying that the general was inferior and wanted to give him a promotion?
From Yang Zheng down in the army, Pang Huiguan was the highest.

"I, Liangzhou, have never valued family background. Qiang Hu can also be a general. General Pang can rest assured."

If you want to be promoted, you can talk about your military exploits.

In Lishan back then, Pang Hui was forced to surrender, and he didn't really want to join him. Now that the situation is getting better, he changed his temper.

Pang Hui laughed dryly.

Liu Heng on the side couldn't see it for a long time, "Is the general in the future still not in the ranks? I, Liu Heng, as the second most powerful general in Liangzhou, have made countless achievements in battle. The enemy's city surrendered after hearing my name. I am only a school lieutenant. Shall we switch?"

Wicked people have their own troubles, and Pang Hui also had a headache when he saw Liu Heng, "Lieutenant Liu was joking, joking."

He consciously fell behind, avoiding Liu Heng.

"This person cannot be reused." Meng Guan watched Pang Hui's various behaviors coldly.

"Of course I know, it's just a little bit of love for the Chinese army."
