contend

Chapter 784
30 Qin troops went east.

Mighty, like a torrent, trying to sweep the world.

Yang Zheng was riding on Wu Yu's back, the once good horse was already old.

But the spirit is extremely excited, not losing to other horses around him.

Occasionally, it would make a low cry or two, as if to warn other war horses.

Yang Zheng stroked Wu Yu's mane to calm him down.

Looking back to the left and right, the iron cavalry and infantry can't see the end at a glance, surrounded by generals and schools of various ethnic groups.

The sound of horseshoes and armor clanging was like thunder.

Thirty years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I used to always worry that the Sima family would overwhelm me, but now the situation has completely reversed, and it is Yang Zheng who is overpowering the Sima family.

This battle gathered almost all the forces in Kansai.

The Qiangs on the plateau, the tribes in the north of Mobei, the Hus in the west of the river...

Qianghu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei all merged under the banner of Daqin.

The integration of various ethnic groups is the general trend, and the Han people have been in a period of de facto decline after the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Eastern Han could not help the Western Qiang. The Cao Wei of half of the country barely suppressed the grasslands, but the power of the Xianbei continued to grow. Zhouzhou has almost become a barbarian land, and the power of the Han people continues to shrink.

When the Sima family took power, they did not have the ability to sweep away the evils of Cao Wei, and the situation worsened.

In history, a bald tree function cost half the life of the Sima family.

In the end, it was Ma Long who raised 10,000 volunteers to defeat the bald tree's [-]+ Qiang and Hu allied forces, saving face for the Sima family.

Yang Zheng felt that the Central Plains had long been suffocated by the smog and smog of the Sima family, and needed fresh blood to rejuvenate this ancient land.

The Qiang Hu Xiongnu and Xianbei were of course barbaric.

But the great man said that barbarism is its body, and civilization is its spirit!
The culture of the Central Plains is already at the peak of this era, but the scholars are obsessed with talking about metaphysics, taking five stone powder, and indulging in enjoyment, thus causing the decay and degeneration of the spirit of the entire group.

Only a savage provocation can awaken them from false prosperity.

Only the collision and fusion of barbarism and civilization can reshape their spirits.

History also develops in this way.

But it was a passive fusion, Huaxia paid a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, numerous bones...

It took hundreds of years of blood and tears to cast the brilliance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Yang Zheng suddenly felt that he was lucky. At this crossroads of history, he could turn the tide and save Huaxia from shedding blood and tears for 400 years!
This may be the real purpose of God letting him travel through time.

The mainstay, turning the tide, possessing a genius, establishing a great cause, saving the people at the table, laying the foundation of the country's destiny like a rock, no one is a great hero!

At this moment, Yang Zheng is no longer alone, but the god who controls luck under the great trend of the times!
With one order, tens of thousands of people will rush forward one after another.

In a word, the color of mountains and rivers will change, and blood will flow into rivers.

A single thought can change the course of an entire civilization.

It's no wonder that in history, when Fu Jian's 80 troops destroyed Jin, there was a saying of throwing whips to cut off the flow.

But Yang Zheng is not Fu Jian, and the current Great Qin is not the former Qin in history.

Traveling to Anyi, there are busy figures everywhere, and the army's early stage food and grass are hoarded here.

In addition to the soldiers, there were fifty or sixty thousand young men who had been requisitioned to transport luggage to and fro.

Ma Long and Zhang Te dared to come from Shangdang and Hanoi.

As soon as they met, Ma Long persuaded: "Since ancient times, a gentleman has never stood under a dangerous wall, let alone Your Majesty. The road to Hebei is long and difficult. Sima Yan has strong walls and clear fields, and he has fortified cities everywhere. If he is unfavorable, his morale will be damaged."

The Qin army went east, and the Jin army was not idle.

The whole of Hebei is shrinking its troops, with deep ditches and high fortifications, and fortified everywhere. It has also untied the last shackles on the gentry and powerful, and recruited soldiers by themselves.

The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

Although the Qin army is strong, there are too many snakes on the ground, and the strong dragon has nothing to do.

These days, it is easy to guard any city for three to five months.

Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of people besieged for a year and took all kinds of methods to win Shouchun.

Zhuge Ke's 20-strong army marched north, but was blocked under the new city defended by 4000 men.

The person who is most familiar with the situation in Hebei is of course Ma Long.

Yang Zheng was a little displeased, "I lead 30 people, where can't I be captured?"

Wei Guan on the side kept winking at Ma Long.

But Ma Long didn't seem to have seen it, "Your Majesty is very powerful, I dare you, how many cities can your Majesty capture? Hebei's tyrants have linked up with the three tribes in Liaodong, and they are quite powerful. Your Majesty must not be taken lightly!"

"Your Majesty has already decided on a strategy to send troops, so is Dudu Ma going to disobey his order?" Seeing Ma Long's reluctance, Pang Qing scolded.

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has always been open-minded in accepting advice, but Minister Pang is too serious."

The two had a small confrontation, but Yang Zheng came to his senses.

Ma Long's temperament is not right about things, but for his own good and Daqin's good.

Pang Qing made a big fuss over a molehill.

"So with the strategy of the commander-in-chief, what should we do in this battle?" Yang Zheng was not someone who would not listen to advice.

"Forgive me, your majesty has 30 people, and there are no fewer than [-] soldiers in Shangdang, Hanoi, Muqi, Wuziying, and Yicong. Why divide the army? One place is frustrated, and the morale of the whole army is low. I think, Concentrate your forces to attack one place!"

Another problem in the division of troops is the difficulty in transporting food and grass.

"What do you think Zichan?" Yang Zheng said to Zhang Te who was silent at the side.

Among the generals, Zhang Te has the most seniority and is also the person Yang Zheng trusts the most.

"I believe that in this battle, attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom."

"How to attack the heart?"

"Luoyang!" Two words popped out of Zhang Te's mouth.

"Concentrate forces to take Luoyang first?" Yang Zheng turned his gaze to Ma Long.

Ma Long clasped his hands and said: "This is also what I mean. Although Sima Yan moved the capital, the people of the world have not changed their attachment to Luoyang. The Great Qin took Luo, and people's hearts will inevitably be shaken. Then spread it to the Central Plains of Hebei. Those who follow will reward it, and those who do not follow will be punished. If you break the wings of Ye City, Sima Jin will fall apart!"

"Wonderful strategy!" Yang Zheng slapped his thigh.

Although he is the emperor, his thinking is still limited to generals.

After 20 years of fighting, I have formed a habit, and I like to draw a knife myself when encountering anything.

It was nothing before, but now it is different.

What stage a person is in must do what stage.

It is the job of the general to charge forward.

Can't Zhang Te and Ma Long sit in Hanoi and lead the army to attack far away?
This is putting the cart before the horse, and it is not what an emperor should do.

Yang Zheng bowed his hands to Zhang Te and Ma Long, "The state has arbitrarily important ministers, how can the Great Qin not prosper?"

Ma Long bowed his hands and returned the salute, "If you have admonishing ministers, you also need a wise king with a heart for the world."

Yang Zheng laughed out loud, this flattery is quite high-end.

Luoyang has been the imperial capital of China for two or three hundred years, and it holds a lot of weight in people's hearts.

On the other hand, Sima Yan gathered his army around Yecheng and Hebei.

Luoyang is empty instead.

The art of war is actually just one thing, avoiding the real and attacking the false!

Furthermore, Luoyang is sandwiched between Kansai and Kanto, and it is the best forward base.

Taking this place, Qin Jun's hand can not only extend to Hebei, but also go down the Yellow River, Luoshui, and Yingshui. Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, Jing, and Yang are all under attack.

Even if Zhong Hui sent troops to fight for the Central Plains, as long as Yang Zheng held Luoyang in his hand, Zhong Hui would not be able to jump up and down.

Going down the Yingshui, Xuchang, Yingshang, and Shouchun are all within the range of the Qin army's crossbows.

It was because of this that the Sima family was able to quell the Huainan Three Rebellions.

"Command, take Luoyang first!"
