Mengjin.

Shi Bao was reading Yang Zheng's letter.

There is no substantive content, but it is just a recollection of the glorious years of Cao Wei in the past.

Back then when Sima Zhao and Sima Yan were suspicious of him, the Shi family was in turmoil, and there were not many people who fell into trouble.

Fortunately, Sima Zhao died inexplicably, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

Shi Bao's heart is inclined towards the Sima family.

But the problem is that the Sima family can't protect themselves now, and the general situation of the world has become clear.

Shi Bao doesn't think for herself, but also for the Shi family, who has a big family and a big business.

"Master Qin, does he have the heart to recruit his father?" said the fourth son Shi Jun after reading the letter.

Shi Bao smiled, "It's just a test."

Shi Jun thought for a while, his eyes gradually lit up, "I don't know what my father thinks?"

"Of course I'm old, I won't be a traitor because of Emperor Xuan's kindness." Shi Bao laughed.

"In the defeat of Hedong, no one can stop the Qin people's vanguard. I think that within 20 years, Qin will unify the Central Plains, and ten years later, Jiangdong!" Among the several heirs of the Shi family, Shi Jun and Shi Chong are the most important. .

Shi Chong is good at management and drilling.

However, Shi Jun was humble, frugal and discerning, and was respected by the people of the time.

Shi Bao shook his head, "You underestimate Lord Qin's ambition too much. With the current situation, it is not bad that the Central Plains can last ten years. As for Soochow, it may be even more difficult."

Ten years is both long and short.

After this battle, the Qin State rose completely and entered a period of national power explosion.

The land occupation system of the Jin State was interrupted, civil strife continued, and many people rose up to rebel against heavy taxes.

These are not fatal, what is more fatal is the attitude of the gentry.

Will the gentry sink with the Sima family?

In fact, it's not just Shi Bao. It is estimated that after this battle, there are many gentry who secretly contacted Qin.

It just depends on the price tag.

Once the state of Qin recognizes the interests of the noble family, the Sima family may not be able to survive even five years.

How could the old fox Shibao not see these things?
"Being a father will not betray the Sima family, but you don't have to die for him."

Shi Jun suddenly couldn't understand, "What does father mean?"

"Some things should be prepared early." Shi Bao's eyes became deep...

In less than five days, Malone's good news came back.

As he said, the three princes of the Sima family were no match at all. Ma Long took advantage of the wind and snow and appeared at the city of Yewang at dawn. As soon as the banner of the Qin army was displayed, the city was in chaos.

Before the city was attacked, people trampled on each other and fled from the city.

The so-called [-] troops dispersed in one rush.

Sima Xun and Sima Quan took the lead in fleeing.

But in such a weather, where can these pampered princes escape in a carriage?

Ma Long pursued and killed them with his cavalry, captured two of them alive, and then counterattacked Ye Wang. Before half an hour passed, he broke through the city, and one of the three princes of the Sima family did not escape.

After breaking the wild king, Wen County will become an isolated place.

Yang Zheng drove [-] cavalry to pretend to attack Wen County, and set up an ambush halfway, waiting for Meng Jin's reinforcements.

But Shi Bao is not so easy to be fooled, there is no movement.

Yang Zheng simply attacked Wen County by force.

I have to say that Yan Xun is indeed quite talented, and his defense is impeccable.

Yang Zheng tried to persuade him to surrender several times, but was always scoffed at by the other party.

Yang Zheng has seen many people who don't know how to praise them.

Every generation who slaughters dogs in righteousness is mostly a scholar with a heartless heart.

With so many years of experience, it is easy for the gentry clan to persuade them to surrender. As long as their power grows to a certain level and they throw a few bones, there will naturally be gentry tyrants fighting for it.

On the contrary, these people who were born in humble families were quite loyal.

It's just that this loyal object makes Yang Zheng feel unworthy all the time.

After several days of siege, Wen County stood still.

This also shows that the Qin army is already exhausted from the veterans, and its combat power is exhausted. It is difficult to gnaw down on hard bones.

But Hanoi County had to take it.

There is Wancheng in the south, Hongnong in the west, and Hanoi in the north.

Having Hanoi can not only put huge pressure on Luoyang, but also advance directly into Hebei without being blocked by Taihang Mountain.

Looking at the whole of Hanoi, only Yan Xun is the most difficult to fight. The cities in the east of Wen County are on the same level as the wild kings defended by the third prince of the Sima family.

At this time, Meng Jin's reinforcements arrived.

To the north of the big river, smoke and dust billowed, snow and mist were raised, and the noise of drums shook the sky. It stretched for six or seven miles. From the looks of the momentum, there might be no fewer than [-] to [-] troops.

The morale of Wen County was boosted.

Could it be that Shi Bao came out in full force, wanting to have a decisive battle with himself?
In this situation, of course, the stone buds in the south should be resolved first.

Yang Zheng gathered his soldiers and formed a formation, waiting for Shi Bao to reveal his true colors on Mount Lu.

Sima Yan's 20 troops were defeated, and he was not afraid of Shi Bao's tens of thousands.

Although the soldiers were exhausted, they were not something the more exhausted Jin army could resist, especially in field battles.

However, the snow and fog were rising one after another, and it was still impossible to see what happened.

Suddenly, there was a roar of killing from behind.

Yan Xun led thousands of troops to kill first from the city.

A strong player is a strong player, seize the moment.

If the north and the south attack at this time, the Qin army will certainly win, but it will definitely waste a lot of hands and feet, and the casualties will also increase.

In the snow and fog in the south, there has been no attack.

Yang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, could it be that Shi Bao was bluffing to scare himself?
This hand is a bit inexplicable.

Isn't this cheating Yan Xun?

With Shi Bao's level, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

Yang Zheng couldn't figure it out.

But right now, I don't care too much, no matter whether Shi Bao is a suspicious soldier or not, since he doesn't make a move, then eat Yan Xun first!

"Wen Yang and Liu Heng obey orders, Wen Yang attacks Yan Xun, and Liu Heng attacks Wen County!"

"Leader!"

The sound of killing in the snow was loud.

An hour later, until the end of the battle, the snow fog in the south was still snow fog, and Shi Bao's army never made a move.

The battle is over on my side.

Yan Xun was thrown off the horse by Wen Yang, and was seriously injured and captured.

Wen County was captured by Liu Heng's soldiers.

Yang Zheng immediately dispatched two groups of cavalry to surround Shi Bao's army.

There was a burst of people yelling, and the battle was over in just one stick of incense.

The snow and fog had faded, and there were only three or four thousand people on the opposite side. Of course the commander was not Shi Bao, but Shi Jun, Shi Bao's son.

After being intercepted, he surrendered directly...

Looking at Shi Jun kneeling in front of him, Yang Zheng suddenly understood that this was Shi Bao's gift for his son.

Zhuge's family spanned the Three Kingdoms, and Shi Bao was also cunning in the three caves, so he sent his son here to occupy a place, and by the way, trick Yan Xun...

This operation made Yang Zheng amazed.

Of course, even if there is no head sent by Shi Bao, Hanoi will not be able to hold on, at most until next spring, with Shangdang and Hedong in hand, condescending, Hanoi is in a situation of being flanked.

"Qing Pingshen." Yang Zheng said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Jun cupped his hands.

Some things just go unspoken.

Both parties take what they need.

Wen County was captured, and the city in the east fell on the wind.

Even if they did not surrender, they would still be defeated by Lin Sen's Zhongzi Battalion.

After Yang Zheng promised to divide the fields, the combat effectiveness of these people was terrifying, which completely refreshed Yang Zheng's understanding of the Jin army.

In the ice and snow, one by one seemed desperate, holding crude weapons and slashing down enemies one by one.

If the Jin army had this kind of momentum and combat power in the Hedong battle, it would be difficult to say the outcome.

Zhongziying was the vanguard and broke through five cities one after another. If Yang Zheng didn't stop them, this group of people would have entered Hebei.
