contend

Chapter 787 Appease
"We are also willing to fight for His Majesty!" The generals of the Zhong and Xin Battalions knelt in front of Yang Zheng.

Influenced by Wang Jun, they also became impatient.

Birds die for food, man dies for money, a wise saying.

Shouting slogans without mentioning interests is pure hooliganism.

The combination of slogans and interests will be beneficial.

"Why are you in a hurry? The battle is still to come, and there will be time for you to make contributions." Yang Zheng persuaded.

Wang Jun is just a striker.

The real battle has not yet begun.

Generals, look at me and look at you, "Follow the order!"

The Han and Wei dynasties implemented the military system, and there were repeated wars, and the common people and soldiers were afraid of war.

When a man falls, the wife and children of a family may be behind him.

Now they are delighted to hear about the war, and they take the initiative to seek war, which is their true heart for Daqin.

Taking Luoyang is just the beginning. If you want to attack the heart, you must first break the heart of the Central Plains.

Jin Yiwei and Xuan Yilang had already rushed to the front, and there were twice as many storytellers in the major cities of the Central Plains than in the past, and they were all propagandizing the Qin army's strategy of dividing land and land.

The people will be suspicious.

But the bandits and rogues in the mountains took it seriously.

When the Qin army went east, they also went down the mountain one after another, gathered the people, attacked the county town, and supported Daqin.

The most powerful group is Yang Gu, who is known as Yang Zheng's own clan. He was defeated by Shi Bao and fled into the Dabie Mountains with a hundred riders. Sima Yan moved his capital to Yecheng. This person immediately went down the mountain and moved to Huaixi The power grew bigger and bigger, and he went north to Yuyan, with a crowd of [-].

Ordinary state and county soldiers dare not confront him at all.

After Yang Zheng conquered Luoyang, the world was shaken, and Yang Gu also sent envoys to send his two young sons and genealogy.

The family tree clearly stated the inheritance of the old Yang family.

According to seniority, Yang Gu is really his cousin.

However, we should be more cautious about this kind of thing. Misidentification of ancestors can be a big or small thing. Yang Zheng sent Pang Qing, Sun Yang, Jinyiwei Commander Li Jin and others to investigate in detail, and take charge of the overall situation of Qingxu Yanyu.

Temporarily seal Yang Gu, a general who is a bandit, to observe his character, and then support [-] stones of grain and grass, [-] sets of armor, and [-] horses.

Judging from his record, he is lackluster. He has been defeated many times, but he has been defeated repeatedly, and the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he is.

Of course, his opponent is either Shi Bao or the regular army of Sima Jun, Lu Qin and others, and it is normal that he cannot win.

In short, Yang Zheng has his heart set on this person.

If the blood relationship is correct, it will definitely be vigorously supported in the future.

In fact, this kind of blood relatives who are not too close are most suitable for use.

Just when Yang Zheng was about to go north to Hanoi and march towards Yecheng, news from Jiangdong arrived.

Sure enough, Zhong Hui didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. He led the Lord of Wu, Sun Jin, and marched northward with an army of 20 people pouring east of the river. The momentum was like a rainbow. He regained Dongguan in the first battle, and conquered Hefei New City in the next battle.

Just when everyone thought that Zhong Hui was going to kill Shouchun, suddenly the soldiers turned around and marched towards Huaixi, heading straight for Xuchang.

Xuchang is Zhonghui's hometown, and the Yingchuan gentry are also waiting eagerly. The firewood on both sides is just short of the bridal chamber.

Lu Kang in the west made the Northern Expedition at the same time, and joined forces with Xiakou Tengmu, Chaisang Lujing and other troops to attack Xiangyang.

The Jiangling navy blocked the Hanshui River and threatened Nanyang. The goal was very clear to contain Du Yu.

With Zhong Hui's style, he couldn't help but chuckle.

He also used Zhuge Liang as a microphone, "Your Majesty will attack Hebei, and I will attack Henan. The two families will form an alliance forever. Together, we will destroy the Sima family and restore the world to a bright future. If not, I will wait for you in Xuchang!"

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said: "It's nothing to worry about Zhonghui jumping on the beam as a clown. Your Majesty's battle is to destroy Jin, and there should be no extraneous problems. Yingchuan gentry will support Zhonghui. When our army goes south, Zhonghui will defend the strong city for a long time. Yecheng Sima Yan has a chance to breathe!"

He and Zhonghui belong to a family and know how the gentry play.

The Yingchuan gentry are extremely united.

Now that Sima Yan is dead, Yang Zheng refuses to accept their conditions, and colluding with Zhong Hui is inevitable.

Looking at the slapstick words on the letter, Yang Zheng seemed to see Zhong Hui's extremely proud face.

Zhang Te cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's blood feud lies in Yecheng, not Xuchang. We can't lose the big because of small things. If our army destroys the Sima family and dominates the north and south of the Yellow River, and the iron cavalry goes south, how can Huai River be able to resist?"

In the past, Yang Zheng boasted that he wanted to run Zhong Hui together, but now that Zhong Hui really came, should he back down?
It just so happened that Du Yu's melody also came.

"Zhong Hui is a clever little thief. He doesn't know the general trend of the world. He only wants to make Xuchang, but he doesn't make progress in Qingxu. He has lost the opportunity. He is really a short-sighted generation. It is difficult to compete with my great Qin. Moreover, Wu Jun misses his homeland and is unwilling to detain the north. Land, under Zhong Hui's order, morale will inevitably be low. The most urgent thing is to conquer Yecheng first, destroy Jin in the first battle, and then wipe out Hebei.

Yang Zheng took a few steps and laughed, "Forget it, let Zhonghui go crazy for a while longer."

Fighting on two fronts is too difficult.

Sima Yan is sitting comfortably in Yecheng, and he and Zhong Hui are fighting well in Xuchang, what is this called?

Zhong Hui's route was actually wrong.

The vicinity of Xuchang was swept by Yang Gu several times, but there was not much oil and water.

When the Qin army marched eastward, the few common people fled away one after another, and the population became even more depleted. Xuchang's only political significance was also taken away by Du Yu the year before last.

Zhong Hui's capture of Xuchang now is far less shocking than Yang Zheng's capture of Luoyang.

Qingxu is the most important place for money, food and population.

Of course, for Zhong Hui, Xuchang is a return home, while Qingxu is a night walk in brocade.

A person's character determines his style of action.

In fact, for anyone, the first consideration must be to return to their hometown.

Yang Zheng asked Wei Guan to write a reply letter to Zhuge Liang to take back, and coaxed Zhong Hui first.

Qin Wu didn't break his face, and everyone continued to tacitly agree.

A few days later, Wang Jun's success came back.

As expected, the descendants were as vigorous as if they had taken aphrodisiacs, sweeping eastward from Luoyang like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

Hulao Pass, Xingyang, Chenliu, and Dingtao were successively captured.

The surrendered troops who joined the Eastern Expedition grew bigger and bigger like a snowball. The 2 people who joined the expedition had grown to [-] when they reached Chenliu.

Under the supervision of the Xuanyi Division and the Zhenfu Division, wherever the army goes, they will divide the land.

Some tyrants tried to resist with Wubao.

But in a blink of an eye, the private soldiers, serfs, and servants who were instigated by the royal guards beheaded their heads. There were hundreds of people in the family, and no one was spared. The family property was also looted by the rebellious army...

The gentry tyrants either dragged their families to the north and fled to Yecheng, or they went south to avoid the chaos in Jiangdong.

However, there were also enlightened gentry tyrants who voluntarily surrendered to the Qin army to save money and avoid disaster.

Wang Jun didn't make things difficult for them either.

Fearing that Yang Zheng would blame him, he also wrote a memorandum, explaining that not all gentry tyrants are full of evil, and there are many wise men among them who can be used by Daqin.

In fact, what Yang Zheng was waiting for was the compromise of the nobles.

It is almost impossible to completely eliminate them.

What if it is eliminated?
Decades later, a new batch of gentry tyrants will grow up again.

The tyrants of the gentry are also part of China's power.

"Qing has the right to uphold integrity, and he can decide on his own." Yang Zheng has always employed people without doubting others.
