contend

Yang Zheng returned to Anyi.

There were more and more captives in the city, all of whom could not survive the winter and came out of the ravines to surrender.

There were nearly [-] people before and after, and there were also bandits in the mountains. They also responded to Xuan Yilang's call, walked out of the mountains, and threw themselves into the arms of Daqin.

Hedong has been carefully managed since the Wei Wu era, which strongly supported Cao Wei's hegemony.

The same goes for falling into your own hands now.

The land in Hedong is not only fertile, but also has a huge salt pond. Since the Warring States Period, it has been the existence of money bags.

Yanchi is naturally nationalized, but the land can be distributed.

Zhongziying's performance exceeded Yang Zheng's expectations.

Yang Zheng also fulfilled his promise and allocated a large number of mansions in Hanoi County to house these soldiers, each with [-] acres.

The remaining fields were set up as Tuntian Division, and other captives were temporarily designated as Tuntian slaves.

The soldiers of the Zhongzi Camp were overjoyed, and those who were close to home directly brought their family members, while those who were far away asked Xuan Yilang to write letters and send them back to their hometowns.

"Your Majesty, the Wu army has made plans for Xiangyang, and Lu Kang and Zhong Hui are mobilizing troops!" Zhao Ahqi pushed the door open and entered, bringing in a wind and snow.

Yang Zheng wrapped the sheep's fur tightly, "What's Yang Hu doing?"

"Yanghu stepped up the city defense, recruited Liaoman and other clans, promised to make a lot of money, and strengthened the walls and cleared the country, gathered the people in Xiangyang City, trained the young and strong of Jingzhou, and all the people became soldiers!"

After Du Yu captured Wancheng and Xinye, Yanghu was the turtle in the urn.

Defense doesn't make any sense anymore.

Does he want to be loyal to the Sima family?Yang Zheng was puzzled.

Zhao Aqi stretched out his hand to warm himself up, "The envoys between Jin and Wu have frequent exchanges, and there seems to be an alliance. Your Majesty must guard against it."

Union is for sure.

The game of Three Kingdoms has been played for decades, and I have been familiar with it for a long time.

The weak and the weak unite to resist the strong.

Yang Zheng suddenly missed Sun Hao. This person doesn't play cards according to common sense, and he doesn't care about his strength. He just does it when he sees who doesn't like him. Now it has been replaced by Zhong Hui, Lu Kai, and Lu Kang. Steady and introverted, a deep understanding of military strategy.

Soochow's iron triangle is not so easy to deal with.

But it will be sooner or later that Qin Wu will turn his face.

Sima Yan, Zhong Hui, and Er Lu are not fools.

Qin destroyed Jin, and Soochow was next.

"Jingzhou..." Yang Zheng mused, "Quickly send an order to Du Yu and Luo Xian to take Xiangyang!"

Since it's only a matter of time before they turn their faces, it would be a pity not to eat this piece of fat in Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is the commander of Jiangdong.

Without Shouchun, Soochow could still defend Dongguan, Ruxu and other places.

But without Xiangyang, Soochow would have serious troubles.

In history, after Yanghu had managed Xiangyang for several years, he had enough soldiers and food, and then Du Yu and Wang Jun's army went down the river and went straight to Jianye, flattening Jiangdong.

For today's Qin State, with Xiangyang, Jiangdong can be held firmly, and a few years later, the historical battle between Jin and Wu can be reproduced.

On the contrary, if there is no Xiangyang, Soochow will take advantage of Jingzhou, and Nanyang and other places will be harassed by the Wu army.

Shuzhong has been resting and recuperating for many years, and it is time to go out for a walk and try Wu Jun's quality.

Zhao Aqi said: "Wu has the advantage of a navy, I'm afraid Xiangyang will not be easy to get."

"This is about Du Yu and Luo Xian." Yang Zheng laughed.

Things are dead, people are alive, how to fight is their business.

Yang Zheng just waited for the result.

If you have to fight every battle by yourself, you may not be able to unify the world in your lifetime.

When the two were talking happily, there was a sudden noise outside.

There seemed to be the sound of a knife being drawn.

A Xuan Yilang came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the prisoners of the Jin army do not want to be slaves and are making trouble. Generals Wen and Meng are already suppressing them."

Yang Zheng frowned. If the [-] to [-] captives get into a mess, they would be enough to drink a pot by themselves.

As soon as this group of people had eaten two mouthfuls of hot rice, they came to overturn the table.

"Please see Your Majesty! Please see Your Majesty!" The movement outside became louder and louder, and there were waves of shouts.

He actually came to ask to see himself.

"The family members of the Jin army are all in the Central Plains, so it is inevitable that there will be diehard members of the Sima family!" Zhao Ahqi reminded.

Yang Zheng paid more attention to his personal safety than ever before.

There is no way, moving other people's interests is a thorn in the side of others.

There are too many unknown emperors who died in history.

Right now, the state of Qin is all on him alone, and there are three ups and downs, and the state of Qin collapses immediately.

But what happened today is a bit inexplicable. A few days ago, the captives were relatively stable in mood and got along well with the Qin army, so why did they suddenly riot?
If the riots expand, it is inevitable that another circle of people will fall to the ground.

Otherwise, the 8 people died and fled.

"See you!" Yang Zheng made a quick decision. With one hundred thousand elite Qin soldiers by his side, he was still afraid of these unarmed prisoners?

Listening to the voices outside, it seems that there is indeed something urgent.

Willing to talk about anything.

"Wei!" The guards put on armor for Yang Zheng as if facing an enemy.

It was snowing heavily outside, and 7000 people were surrounded by soldiers.

The knife has been unsheathed, and the arrow has been wound.

Meng Xi ushered in. On such a cold day, cold sweat oozes from his forehead, which shows that he is not good at handling such incidents.

If you don't come out, there is a high probability that these thousands of people will be brutally suppressed.

Suppressing them is not difficult. More and more captives gather around the key points. Watching helplessly, if they are not handled well, the commotion may expand.

"The minister is incompetent, Your Majesty forgives me."

Yang Zheng waved his hand, "Now is not the time to talk about this."

Going forward, he said loudly: "You want to see me, here I come."

All voices faded away.

The captives looked at each other, their faces were full of fear, and no one dared to speak for a long time, just looking at Yang Zheng timidly.

Yang Zheng smiled bluntly and said: "If you make trouble for no reason, don't blame our army for being ruthless!"

A young man of eighteen or nineteen stood up, "Your Majesty is unfair, I will not accept it!"

"Hey, this kid..." Liu Heng was about to arrest someone with a mace in his hand.

This guy is born with supernatural power, and it is said that he can lift him up with one hand.

All the guards around thought so.

But unexpectedly, the young man got involved with Liu Heng.

The strength of the young man was not as strong as Liu Heng, but Liu Heng was carrying a mace in one hand, and he underestimated the enemy, so he couldn't hold it for a while.

Yang Zheng couldn't help becoming interested.

There must be many strong men in the Jin army.

This young man is not very strong physically, but he can pull off Liu Heng, and his foundation is still good.

Liu Heng lost face, threw away the mace, and began to exert strength. This time the young man couldn't resist, and was about to be taken down by Liu Heng. Yang Zheng said flatly, "Stop."

Liu Heng's neck was already red, and his madness came up, but he let go after hearing Yang Zheng's order, and stared at the young man fiercely.

"Tell me, how can I be unfair?"

The young man was out of breath and said, "Your Majesty allocated the land to Zhongziying, why didn't you allocate it to us?"

It turned out to be a field.

"Why should I distribute the land to you? You didn't kill the enemy for me. The Great Qin military law is clear. Those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. The land is not given for free."

"Your Majesty doesn't give me a chance to fight, how can I make merit? This is unfair!" the young man exclaimed angrily.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but smile, that's why.

The interests are touching.

These days, people can be killed just for one bite of food, not to mention fifty acres of fertile land.

The land in Hedong and Hanoi is fertile, and the [-] mu of land is easy to cultivate. As long as the tax is not heavy, it can support a family.

"So, are you willing to serve me and Daqin?"

In fact, in the past two months, Yang Zheng has been kind to them, eating enough and dressing warmly, and having a mouthful of hot soup every three days.

But once people eat and drink enough, there will be more things to do.

"Willing to serve His Majesty!" The young man took the lead in bowing down.

"Willing to serve His Majesty!" The prisoners behind him also bowed down.

Then the peripheral captives also bowed down.

It was so dense, like the tide, that they all half-kneeled down.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, saying that a thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars are no greater than the temptation to directly divide the land.

It's no wonder that Jiang Kaishen of later generations couldn't win Taizu.

Taizu divided the fields, and all the surrendered countries and armies became fierce tigers.

The beating made Jiang Kaishen find his teeth all over the floor, and even Lao Mei rubbed against the ground.

Thinking about it in reverse, this is also the core appeal of the people on this ancient land.
