contend

Chapter 719
In the blink of an eye, it is the spring of the third year of Huangwu.

Things suddenly became quiet on both sides.

They didn't plunder or harass each other, but everyone knew that the atmosphere of war was getting stronger day by day.

"Has there been any news from Luoyang's secret work?" Yang Zheng asked.

Zhao Aqi faltered and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Luoyang is heavily defended, and secret operations cannot penetrate. Even the Shi family has lost news..."

After all, there is a limit to what a meticulous work can do, and the Sima family has already strengthened their precautions.

In the past, news could be obtained through the merchants of the gentry and the Shi family, but this time even the Shi family was cut off, and the gentry also maintained a very high tacit understanding.

But this just shows that Sima Yan is going to play a big game.

"If you can't find any news about Luoyang, you can find out where their food, grass, military equipment and other supplies are being shipped." Yang Zheng glanced at Zhao Ahqi. After all, his ability was still a little weaker. He could faithfully carry out his orders, but he couldn't be flexible.

There are pros and cons.

In terms of loyalty, there is no need to worry. With this premise, other things will be worse if they are worse.

If Zhenfusi is not of one mind with him, the problem will be too big.

"Wei!" Zhao Ahqi's temples were slightly frosty. In his position, he had to work hard.

"If Sima Yan takes the initiative to attack Guanzhong, it may not be a good thing for me, Daqin. Your Majesty can reproduce Feng Sa's victory back then!" Wei Guan cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, the armies of the Central Plains must not be rivals! Sima Zhao is still invincible, let alone Sima Yan? The generals in the Central Plains have only withered in these years, so there is no doubt that they will lose!" Linghu Sheng was also very optimistic.

Back then, Yang Zheng's strategy was to use Guanzhong as a millstone to consume the vitality of the Central Plains.

He won several beautiful victories, thus establishing the territory of Qin State.

Sima Yan came all over the country, and Yang Zheng had the inside advantage.

"No!" Suddenly a voice broke everyone's illusions.

Du Yu cupped his hands and said, "The present is different from the past, Your Majesty must not take it lightly. The generals of the Central Plains have withered, but they have grown a lot in these years. From the perspective of my ministers, Wang Jun, Wang Hun, Tang Bin, Liu Hong, and Yan Xun are all good friends." A momentary choice, the Battle of Hefei, Shi Bao's veteran troops, Chen Qian guarding Hebei, raising soldiers, persuading farmers to teach farming and mulberry, and revitalizing the army. Given the size of the Central Plains, how can there be no generals? Secondly, there is Feng Sa's battle ahead. , Sima Yan and his ministers must be cautious, step by step, this battle will be a battle of national power, once the Central Plains army invades Guanzhong, it will advance on all sides, dig mountains into moats, weirs and rivers into ponds, and logging into bases, advance layer by layer, encircle To die in Chang'an is just like when Sima Zhao besieged and killed Zhuge born in Shouchun, how can your Majesty have a [-]% chance of winning?"

A chill lingered, and the hall was silent.

Wei Guan and Linghu Sheng thought too easily.

The main reason why Feng Sa was able to win that year was because Sima Zhao didn't hold back Sima Fu's fake corpse.

Otherwise, the final result is hard to say.

Even so, let Sima Zhao escape back to Luoyang.

learn from mistakes.

Sima Yan is definitely not someone who is easy to be with if he can sit firmly in the country.

Otherwise, Sun Hao would not be captured alive.

Judging from the level of employing people over the years, Sima Yan has won the true inheritance of Sima Zhao.

For example, if the Central Plains came all over the country and pushed it to the city of Chang'an, it would take a year or two, and the outcome is unpredictable...

Even if Sima Yan retreated in the end, Guan Zhong would definitely be disabled.

All these years of hard work were in vain.

To put it bluntly, Yang Zheng couldn't afford to exchange three Jin troops for one Qin army.

There are many people...

The biggest problem in Guanzhong is that the gate is controlled by the enemy.

"Does Yuan Kai have a strategy to defend against the enemy?" Yang Zheng had great admiration for Du Yu. To be honest, with the growth of national power in recent years, he himself has become a little swollen.

Fortunately, there are still sober people in the country.

Fortunately, Yang Zheng called Du Ya back in advance.

Du Yu said: "Since we know that we must fight, it is better to move first. Disrupting Sima Yan's deployment will allow Ma Long to lead Muqi to attack Hebei from all fronts, and His Majesty will gather heavy troops to attack Hedong! If the east of the river goes down, the threat of Tongguan will be wiped out. I am willing to lead a team The army goes out of Shangyong and pretends to attack Wanxu, if it can be captured, it will be driven straight in, if not, it will be diverted, and it will go straight to Hongnong, and join forces with Your Majesty on the east side of the river, and take the shape of the Central Plains to win!"

The best defense is offense!
Guanzhong is not what it was then.

In the past, it was the Sima family who were grinding, but now it is him who is grinding.

The land equalization system has mobilized more than one million people in central Sichuan. If Sima Yan got involved... the consequences would be disastrous.

Yang Zheng glanced at Wei Guan, Linghu Sheng, and Pang Qing, all of them had admiration in their eyes.

Wei Guan is good at intrigue and has some insights into soldiers, but compared with Du Yu, he is still much worse.

Linghu Sheng and Pang Qing were even further behind.

"The advantage of our army lies in the cavalry, which has the advantages of attacking and running. How can we stick to the pass?" Du Yu continued to analyze.

Lu Zhi, who had been silent all the time, said quietly: "However, Tang Bin has strengthened his fortifications and built camps in Hedong these years. There are fortified cities everywhere, and Hedong is difficult to break through, and there are Shangdang Liu Hong and Hongnong Wang Jun behind him. Once the attack is unfavorable, only Fear of losing morale."

If it's a field battle, Yang Zheng is naturally not afraid, but if it's a siege battle, it's another matter.

The advantage of the Qin army lies in cavalry, but the Jin army also has an advantage in infantry.

The defense of the city is particularly sharp.

"My subordinates bluntly say that even if Hedong is a fortress of iron and steel, it must be fought, because it is the barrier of Luoyang and the gateway to the Central Plains. Whether the Great Qin can win the Central Plains will be decided here!" Du Yu said loudly.

Yang Zheng recalled the battle of Yubi in history.

It just broke out in the east of the river.

It is also the battle of national destiny between the Eastern and Western Weis.

Gao Huan's 15 troops were blocked by Wei Xiaokuan's 5000 troops...

After this battle, the Eastern Wei Dynasty went from bad to worse, while the Western Wei Dynasty was thriving and its national strength became stronger day by day.

"That's right, Hedong is where the fate of the Great Qin State lies, so we must fight!" Yang Zheng slapped his thigh with a slap.

The subsequent battles will basically be head-to-head.

After taking Hedong, Bingzhou will be integrated with Guanzhong, and the Central Plains will be on the chopping block of Daqin.

It is not a matter of much loss when it involves the national destiny.

"Do you have any objections?" Yang Zheng asked.

Everyone clasped their hands, "The ministers wait for a second opinion!"

"Great kindness!" Yang Zheng laughed.

Although there are disputes within the Qin State, on the whole, they can still be consistent with the outside world.

Whoever makes a mistake is punished.

Zhou Yu is a living example.

King Qi Yang Hong took Wushi powder and was directly confined by Yang Zheng in the mansion. If Lu Zhi hadn't begged, King Qi's title would not have been preserved.

Whoever is holding back and dragging his legs back must consider the price.

In addition, going east is also the unanimous interest demand of Qin State.

Whether it is a powerful gentry, Qiang Hu Xianbei, or ordinary people, it is profitable to attack the Central Plains.

In the colorful world, who doesn't want to make a fortune?
Since ancient times, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes.

Water flows to low places, people go to rich places...

The poorer you are, the more motivated you are!
And expansion has been engraved in the bones since the founding of Qin.

Qin's strategy was decided in this way, and Chang'an immediately became busy.

The army is assembled and the supplies are concentrated.

Just when everything was in order, a rebellion suddenly broke out in Guanzhong!
