contend

Chapter 585
Jia Chong had just entered the Sima Mansion, but he didn't expect someone to be one step ahead of him.

General Yang Lie Wang Hun is negotiating with Sima Yan.

Wang Hun and Wang Jun returned to Luoyang with tens of thousands of Chinese troops, and were immediately rewarded and reused by Sima Zhao.

"See Jin Wang and Shizi." Jia Chong cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, please take your seat." Sima Yan raised his hand to signal.

Sima Zhao, who was reclined on the couch, moved his eyelids.

After becoming king, Sima Zhao's complexion improved a bit.

Cao Wei has only one piece of skin left, and all the officials are Jin officials.

There is no turmoil in the Central Plains.

Even Zhong Hui kept a low profile.

"Please read this letter first." Sima Yan handed Jia Chong a letter.

Jia Chong was taken aback after seeing it, but he didn't expect that someone would take the lead in the matter of Huainan.

Wang Chen, the supervisor of the Huaibei Army, made a statement that Shi Bao not only communicated frequently with Zhong Hui, but also had contact with Soochow...

Jia Chong immediately knew why Wang Hun was here, and Wang Chen was also from the Wang family in Taiyuan.

People from a high family background naturally look down on people from a low family background.

The position of Huaibei Supervising Army was originally responsible for supervising the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. Wang Chen's participation in Shi Bao's performance was completely reasonable and part of his duty.

"What's the general idea?" Sima Yan clasped his hands behind his back, his long hair flowing.

Jia Chong glanced at Sima Zhao, who seemed to be asleep, "Shi Bao is an old minister, and he has always been loyal. He should not collude with Soochow and Zhonghui."

"Qin Tianjian watched the sky recently and predicted that there are soldiers rising in the south, where do you think it should be?" Sima Yan's "gong" again and again made Jia Chong feel a lot more relieved.

The south is nothing more than Huainan or Jingzhou.

In recent years, Zhoutai has also gained fame, but Zhoutai does not have as many nephews as Shi Bao, and his reputation is not bad.

The precedent of the Sima family is ahead, and it is not a good thing for a nephew to be too good.

"It should be in Huaibei!" Jia Chong thought about it, but he still concealed the nursery rhyme he heard.

It was no longer appropriate for this nursery rhyme to come out of his mouth.

Since someone rushed to the front, he didn't have to be so anxious, nursery rhymes would spread into this hall sooner or later.

Shi Bao had worked as a coachman and sold iron, so he was the one the traffickers were talking about.

Of course the Central Plains gentry would exclude him.

"Zhonghui..." Sima Zhao spoke suddenly, with a nasal sound, as if he was sighing.

"The clock will turn back in the future, Your Majesty must be careful!" Of course Wang Hun would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Things are also obvious.

Sima Zhao and Feng Sa were defeated, and Zhong Hui returned with the whole army. It was a matter of time between the two.

"Huaibei is besieged on all sides, Zhong Hui is nothing to worry about!" Since Sima Zhao became king, Sima Yan has been extremely active, and he has placed cronies in the court.

Sima Zhao's health was always good and bad, so he let it be.

But in the past six months, the person who really served him was another son, Sima You.

Compared with Sima Yan, Sima You has a more stable personality, gentle and intelligent, and he is extremely filial. When Master Sima died of illness, You was ten years old. He mourned and was praised by the gentry.

Filial name itself is a political capital in this era.

Sima Zhao's success came from Master Sima. Without Master Sima, the Sima family would not be what it is today.

Sima You was adopted by Sima Shi, and has a second political capital.

Of course, all of this is just a flash in Sima Zhao's mind.

The identity of Sima Yan's eldest son overwhelmed all of Sima You's status.

"As Gonglu said, Zhong Rong will definitely betray my family, so don't say too much, it must be a plan to drive divorce!" Sima Zhao knew Zhong Hui too well.

His strength lies not in commanding troops in battle, but in intrigue.

Sima Zhao made his assertion, and the others didn't say much.

"Send a letter to Zhong Hui. If you go back to Luoyang, everything will be the same." Sima Zhao coughed, thinking of his old friendship with Zhong Hui, he sighed.

Nan'an Road.

Liu Heng, Sun Yang, and Zhang Fu knelt on one knee in front of Yang Zheng in shame, "Your servant is incompetent!"

All the cities belong to the Qin State, but outside of the city, it is not the Qin State that has the final say.

Nan'an was Deng Ai's lair back then. It has been in business for many years, and there are many forts, all of which are built in important places.

The tyrants fight and defend themselves, and a Wubao is a Fubing.

In order to defend the land, the people of the fort naturally risk their lives, and all the people are soldiers.

This is the case in Tianchou, Hebei. He led hundreds of people from his clan to join him, entered Xuwu Mountain, lived in a deep, dangerous and flat place, and worked hard to support his parents.The people returned, and within a few years there were more than [-] families.

When Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan, he treated him politely and used him as his guide.

Historically, the Wubao built by Deng Ai played an important defensive role in resisting the Hu people going south.

"Get up." Yang Zheng didn't care too much about this small defeat. Liu Heng is a person who fights and rushes, and it's not suitable to be placed on such a battlefield.

What the Qin army wants to break is not just Wubao, but since the Han Dynasty, the tyrants have established the order between the land and the shade.

There are 43 Wubao in Nan'an. A small Wubao has five or six hundred troops, and a large one has two or three thousand troops. There are 43, and nearly 6 troops!

If they fought one by one, the Qin army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

A Nan'an County can produce [-] troops!It can be seen that Yongliang is not really short of people, but that many people do not have household registration.

With this kind of strength, it is not surprising why Longyou Haoqiang rose up so confidently.

This is just Nan'an, there are also Longxi and Tianshui, especially Tianshui, which has a large population. Since Sima Yi became the governor of Yongliang, it has been the core of Longyou, and the Qin Kingdom also rose here...

Now, if the entire Longyou is pacified, it will be easy to increase the population by 40 to [-]!
I used to think Du Yu's proposal of 240 million yuan for Yinkou in Shuzhong was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that it is still an underestimation.

The population of the huge central Sichuan is only two to three million, which is not as good as a prefecture-level city in later generations, which is somewhat unreasonable.

But the most difficult problem now is how to break through the tortoise shells of the tyrants.

You can't take a cannonball, can you?

Yang Zheng stared at a majestic fortress on the top of the hill. It was surrounded by walls and opened front and back. Watch towers, turrets, and archery towers were all available. The front and rear doors also had urns...

It looks like a freak with seven or eight heads, both weird and fierce.

The autumn harvest is just now, and there is food and drink in Wubao, and the siege is not a long-term solution.

If it goes on, the first unlucky person is Yang Zheng himself.

The method of siege is nothing more than water and fire.

Water is impossible in this season, so there is only fire.

This kind of battle doesn't require any strategy of war, just push one by one and it's over.

With the current strength of the Qin State, it is completely possible to emulate the Sima family's Mount Tai!
"Burning the city!" Yang Zheng's eyes sparkled.

"What?" Liu Heng didn't hear clearly.

Pang Qing, Zhang Fu, and Sun Yang were also stunned.

Yang Zheng smiled wryly, killing people and setting them on fire. These scholars are not professional, so they still have to do it by themselves, "Collect Jincheng, stabilize the people, cut down the trees in the Qinling Mountains, and burn them one by one!"

Wubao is not a city, but only the size of a village and town, with a radius of two or three miles. There are many buildings on the fort, and the defenders are dense, and it can be attacked by fire.
