Chapter 606
Jin Yiwei selects veterans in the army, people of all shapes, ages, and identities.

Yang Zheng personally bestowed the ring sword and waist badge.

However, Jin Yiwei was different from Xuan Yilang, he was not overwhelmed with gratitude, his eyes were calm and introverted, and there was little expression on his face.

There is no need to talk nonsense with such a person.

Those who are willing to do this are mostly loyal people who need to remain anonymous and see the light of day in the shadows.

Because they could have chosen a brighter and more promising path.

It is easier for them to join the army or be an official.

Yang Zheng's Jin Yiwei is by no means a warrior who only knows how to use swords, but requires insight, judgment, and memory. Literacy and hyphenation are the basic requirements, and martial arts is a side effect.

People who can read and write these days will not be too bad.

"I entrust you with the affairs of the Western Regions!" Yang Zheng saluted everyone.

"Willing to die for the King!" Everyone said in unison.

Yang Zheng was deeply moved.

Some words seem hypocritical.

In a nation or a country, there are always some people who contribute in obscurity, dormant in the darkness, and guard the light.

And the antiquity of this era still exists.

Zhuge Dan died, and there were still subordinates who died for him.

Even Sima Zhao's dead men would rather die than surrender for him.

Seeing them, Yang Zheng suddenly felt that the Western Regions were no longer a problem.

The gang of soil turtles in the Western Regions and the gang of beggars in Moxi must have never seen such clever tricks.

The treatment of Jinyiwei has also been adjusted.

According to the contribution to formulate grades, two grades to seven grades.

If they don't want to stay in the Zhenfu Division, they can choose to join the army or politics, and get the corresponding honors, land and status based on the twelfth-level military merit. Even if they retire, these rewards are enough for them to live a peaceful life.

Yang Zheng is very much looking forward to what kind of flowers will bloom from the seeds of the Western Regions.

At the beginning of March in the seventh year of Ganlu, Du Yu's reply to the plan to attack the three counties of Shangyong also arrived.

The messenger who sent the letter was still Zhou Zhi.

"The three counties can be attacked in advance, and can be defended in retreat. They are actually important places for military strategists. Once there are changes in the Guandong and Jiangnan, the Guanzhong army will go down the Han River, and Nanyang and Hongnong can be used to isolate Wuguan and Tongguan. Deterrence Xu and Luo , the next one can take Jingxiang, the commander of Soochow, now Zhoutai has died, and the Sima clan has become the pillar of the south. The new governor Wang Yien has not yet established his trust. I recommend Zhou Zhi, a strong military general, to conquer the three counties!"

Du Yu agreed, basically there is no major problem.

The geographical location of the three counties of Shangyong is too superior.

Sima Zhao deployed heavy troops on the east line of Tongguan, and it cannot be overcome without a great war.

So Shangyong has found another way.

On the contrary, if Qin State does not take the three counties, the Sima family will rise up in the future, and the three counties are also a good choice for attacking Qin State.

Yang Zheng also felt that the Zhou Zhi recommended by Du Yu was feasible.

Zhou Zhi is good at fighting tough and vicious battles, and his abilities are not inferior to Yin Chun's. A miscellaneous general feels sorry for him.

He was the governor of Longyou back then, and Du Yu recommended him, in fact, to remind Yang Zheng.

How could Yang Zheng not understand?
In addition, Du Yu proposed to unite Soochow, which is also promising.

Zhang Fu also said that Soochow had the intention of attacking Xiangyang in the six hundred miles of emergency.

Lu Kang and Shi Ji, who were guarding Jingzhou, wrote to Jianye many times, persuading Ding Feng not to come when the opportunity was lost.

The two hit it off.

One of the conditions for Ding Feng's agreement to form an alliance was that the Qin army went down the Han River to capture the three counties of Shangyong and share the pressure of the Jin army.

Compared with Jiaozhou, Xiangyang is more important than others.

After taking Xiangyang, Wu Jun can really rest easy.

Geographically, Xiangyang is more important than Hefei. The army of Xiangyang can merge into the Yangtze River from the Han River and attack the important town of Dongwu downstream.

The people guarding Jingzhou have always been important generals, Cao Ren, Xia Houshang, Sima Yi, Xia Houru, and Wang Chang.

Zhou Tai is also a veteran.

His death is undoubtedly a great loss to Sima, and others may not be competent.

For so many years, the talents selected by Sima Yi have passed away one after another. Deng Ai, Hu Zun, Sun Li, Wang Chang, Shi Bao are old and are still subject to suspicion. Chen Tai has always been the target of prevention, and finally died of anger. Now Zhou Tai has also gone. , there is only one Chen Qian supporting Hebei.

Wang Yi was born in the Langya Wang clan, no matter what his level is, he will definitely not be able to calm people's hearts in a short period of time, and he will not be familiar with the complicated internal and external situations.

"If Soochow sends troops, the three counties of Shangyong will surely be conquered!" Wei Guan said.

The situation is extremely favorable for Qin.

But the more so, the more careful you have to be.

"Then order Zhou Zhi to lead the [-] middle battalion, join Hanzhong Liuyin's [-] soldiers, and attack the three counties!" Yang Zheng nodded. After thinking for a while, he decided to give the Sima family another blow. False news, our army will raise an army of [-] from Taiyuan and Feng Sa to attack Hedong."

"Your Majesty's trick!" Wei Guan laughed.

As for how to disseminate fake news, it couldn't be simpler, Chang'an has ready-made people.

Yang Zheng thought over and over again, but still didn't move Pang Hui's pawn.

It's not worthwhile to replace Pang Hui with only the three counties of Yong.

It's better to keep it later, Sima Zhao came to the door by himself.

As long as he made the illusion of gathering materials, food, grass and troops to Linjin, Luoyang Sima Zhao knew what the Qin army was going to do.

No one doubts that the Qin army will attack Hedong.

Yang Zheng summoned Zhou Zhi alone, "What do you think, the general, if you want to take over the three prefectures of Shangyong?"

Zhou Zhi didn't know that he had been selected as the main general, his eyes lit up, he had a military demeanor, and he bowed his hands cleanly, "The last general wishes to be a forward!"

"How many chances does the general have?"

After all, the Kingdom of Shu was not completed, and Yang Zheng felt somewhat guilty.

"The soldiers of our army have always been aggressive, going down the river, advancing and never retreating, the soldiers will definitely attack the city with all their lives, the subordinates think [-]% of them!" Zhou Zhi said.

"What about the remaining three?"

"In March today, the army gathers, and in April, troops will go south. If there will be heavy rain and the Han River will rise sharply, this road will be blocked!" Zhou Zhi is worthy of the talent of a general, and he has considered all aspects clearly.

In history, when Cao Zhen started the five-way army to destroy Shu, it was also raining heavily for a month, and Cao Zhen died of illness when he returned.

Cao Shuang, on the other hand, was the opposite of his father. When he encountered a drought, he returned in a big defeat. Cao Shuang's career as a power minister also ushered in a turning point.

The fateful father and son fell into the hands of God.

A similar example is Zhuge Dan.

In ancient wars, time came first.

However, [-]% certainty is enough. It is a surprise attack, and there has never been a battle with [-]% certainty.

Even if everything is planned, anything can happen on the battlefield.

In the Battle of Kunyang, Wang Mang's 40 troops attacked Liu Xiu's 2 people, and even summoned meteorite rain...

If Zhou Zhi was guaranteed, Yang Zheng would not dare to use him lightly.

"Zhou Zhi listens to the order, and I order you to lead the [-] middle battalion, join Hanzhong Liuyin, and attack the three counties of Shangyong!" Yang Zheng said in a deep voice.

The middle base and the second battalion of the backbone are elite infantry, recruiting more Qiang and Di people, who are good at surprise attacks in mountainous areas.

"The last general takes orders!" Zhou Zhi said with emotion.

This battle is also a major test for him.
