contend

Chapter 641
Entering March, Guanzhong is raining and snowing, and the wind is biting.

The people are worried, and spring plowing is about to begin, and many fields have not yet been plowed.

But since it rains and snows, there will be no locust plagues or droughts.

In addition, the land tax was exempted last year, and the people have food in their hands, so they are only worried, not shocked.

"Gu plans to exempt Guanzhong and Hexi field taxes this year, what do you think?"

At the meeting, Yang Zheng spoke first.

"Your Majesty did not collect taxes last year. This year, 15 troops gathered in Linjin, and [-] peasants were expropriated. There are countless livestock and war horses. The treasury is already insufficient. If the tax is exempted this year, the treasury will be in short supply. If Sima Zhao pacifies Huainan Afterwards, take advantage of the victory to attack Guanzhong, and the soldiers will be short of food, and I am afraid that the army's morale will be lost." Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi was the first to object.

There have been major gains in previous wars.

Population, money, food, and livestock are pouring in.

This confrontation lasted for half a year, but did not invade Hedong. The 15 army was sitting on the mountain, and of course the treasury couldn't hold it.

"My minister also thinks it's wrong. The cold spring will be half a ten-day at most, and it will be as usual in April. Your Majesty might as well wait a few days." Zhang Huan cupped his hands and said.

"What do you think about You'an?" Yang Zheng called Suo Jing's name.

Suo Jing was gradually isolated by the Shi family in Hexi after Dunhuang Dayi wiped out his relatives.

It was the same in the court, everyone stayed away from him intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, Suo Jing only killed Suo Xiong and others from his own family, but Yang Zheng shaved all the heads of the Hexi scholars.

These people didn't dare to blame Yang Zheng, and their resentment was naturally transferred to Suo Jing.

In fact, how did they know that it was Suo Jing's impartial law enforcement that saved the Hexi scholars from the disaster of being wiped out.

According to Yang Zheng's heart, he would never just kill a few offshoots.

The nobles of the scholar family took a step back, and Yang Zheng stayed behind.

After all, the governance of Qin State depends on them.

Yang Zheng would like to see a balance between Yizhou scholars and Kansai scholars.

It is not a good thing for any power to dominate one family. Just like the Shu Kingdom, the Jingzhou scholars are dominant, and there are many internal problems in the Shu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty has made a policy of exempting the tax for one year and halving it for two years, and changing it hastily. Although it will benefit the people, the national policy should not be lightly moved." Suo Jing cupped his hands.

What you say counts.

Too frequent policy changes is itself a damage to the credibility of the government.

"Then follow what you said."

A few days later, the rain and snow stopped. Although it was still cold, the long-lost sun finally showed its face.

The people, slaves, and government soldiers mobilized and were busy in the fields.

Yang Zheng felt relieved.

Although it feels colder than usual this year, it will not affect cultivation in general.

"Zhong Hui is still struggling in Shouchun!" Zhao Aqi sent information about Huainan.

"Did Soochow win Hefei?" Yang Zheng followed Huangfumi's instructions and practiced Wuqinxi.

Usually, if I have free time, I would ask Huangfu Mi to get a few needles to smooth the blood.

In the early years, he was too violent and used excessive force. In recent years, there are many wives and concubines, and his body is more or less in minor condition.

Huangfumi's medical skills are superb, and he can diagnose some diseases even when he is not sick. With acupuncture and moxibustion, decoctions and medicines make him feel more relaxed and full of energy.

Zhao Aqi said: "This battle is not led by veteran generals such as Ding Feng, but by Sun Hao's father-in-law Teng Mu. Zhong Yi's son Zhong Yi led five thousand elite troops to defend to the death. Hefei New City is as solid as gold."

"The new city has always been strong. Sun Quan and Zhuge Ke can't conquer it with an army of 20 or [-], but Sun Hao and Teng Mu want to conquer it with [-] to [-]?" Yes, the young talents of the Yingchuan gentry are still of a certain level.

If Ding Feng came up, Zhong Yi would definitely not be able to handle it, but Sun Hao and Teng Mu were another matter.

Neither of them had any experience in commanding troops before.

But if Zhong Hui can't stand up to Sima Zhao in Shouchun, it doesn't make sense for Zhong Yi to stick to Hefei.

At this time, Pang Qing entered the hall holding another memorial, "My lord, recently all the tribes in Mobei have moved south, and Guixin City has been captured."

Yang Zheng originally wanted to appoint Yang Yi as the captain of the northern school, but he hadn't set off yet, and Jiang Faye was guarding Juyan, obviously he couldn't handle it.

The harm brought to the grassland by this spring cold is even more deadly.

This means that the winter on the grassland is longer, and more and more livestock and people are frozen to death.

Many tribes had to go south.

Even Ding Ling and Jian Kun, who were close to Luo Huangye, couldn't bear it anymore, and moved south one after another.

Beggars these days are always riding horses and carrying knives, and Guixin City was the first to be hit.

Guixin City was captured by tribes moving south.

The Hujie people and Heda people near Jinshan in the west also began to frantically move southward, threatening the Hexi Corridor and Xizhou.

The slogan of Qin State is very good, integrate all ethnic groups and treat them equally.

But the grassland tribes didn't think so. They didn't want to merge, but to plunder.

In this day and age, everything depends on a knife.

"The subordinates thought that the Hujie people and Heda people left Moxi Xianbei, and Zhilianluo and Luo Rilu were weaker than ever before, and it was time to attack!" After so many years of training, Pang Qing has become a qualified military staff officer.

The east is not bright, the west is bright.

Hedong was made like an iron bucket, but the grassland tribes were in a predicament because of the cold spring.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him!

"Not only Moxi Xianbei, but also Tuoba Xianbei!" Yang Zheng wiped the sweat off his face.

Wu Qin Xi seems to be gentle, but when it is really practiced, the energy and blood of the whole body will flow smoothly after exerting force.

The last time Tuoba Xianbei sent troops was just to beat the side drums to help the momentum, but this time it really came to an end. He and Liu Yuan attacked Yanmen together, trying to cut off Taiyuan.

They don't talk about affection first, so Yang Zheng naturally doesn't need to be polite.

At this time, Liu Heng came out of nowhere, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to be the vanguard, and we will put Dianluo and Luo Rilu in peace!"

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? This time, you should rest a lot and let others come!"

Opportunities must be given to others, Liu Heng is not in good health yet.

To be honest, every time I use Liu Heng, I feel nervous, and I have to hire Pang Qing to be his military advisor.

So this time Yang Zheng is going to line up a stronger person to go up, and it will be done in one battle!
"The subordinates will also kill the cows, and the chickens will not be spared!" Liu Heng has a big appetite.

Yang Zheng patted him on the shoulder, "It's alright, alright, you have to combine work and rest to make contributions. Didn't you catch a few more women from the grassland? This expedition will take at least half a year, so it's not good to let others stay alone."

Liu Heng struggled all over his face, finally sighed, touched the back of his head, "What the king said is true."

Pang Qing squinted at him, "I don't know who the king wants to send as a general?"

"Wenyang!" Yang Zheng said.

Liu Heng, Ma Xun, Meng Yu, and Meng Guan all made great contributions.

Zhang Te and Yin Chun belonged to the former Ministry of Yuan Cong.

Only Wenyang didn't make great achievements, this peerless fighter still has a lot of room to play.

Although Liu Heng is also a strong player, he is much worse than Wen Yang.

Since it is a divine sword, it should be used.

Liu Heng took a breath, "Zhi Dian Luo, Luo Ri Lv must perish!"

The Grassland War is different from the Middle-Earth War, as long as you lose, you won't even have a chance to escape.

But Yang Zheng cared more about Tuoba Xianbei.
