contend

Chapter 793
During the Jin Dynasty, the Xie family of Chen Jun had some integrity.

There are many scholars like Xie Cheng in the Central Plains, and keeping them out will sooner or later become a factor of instability in Daqin.

And the current Chen Jun Xie family is at best a powerful one.

After rewarding Xie Cheng heavily, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and greater achievements are yet to come.

There are countless challengers.

Yang Zheng ordered to rest for two days, waiting for the supplies from the rear to be delivered.

Two days later, the army set off and marched towards Yecheng.

News came in from all over, both good and bad.

In the north, Qianhong really couldn't start the situation in Dai County, his attack was frustrated, and was delayed by Ma Long's various strategies, but this person simply retreated back to Hebei when he saw that he couldn't start the situation, and went south to participate in the battle of Yecheng.

To the east, after Wang Jun made great strides at the beginning, he was blocked by Wang Hun in Dongping, and each other won and lost.

The two have been enemies in history, and now they will meet good talents when they meet opponents, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Pang Qing, Sun Yang and others conducted a secret investigation in Yangxia and confirmed that Yang Gu's identity was not faked, and that he was indeed of the same lineage as Yang Zheng.

In addition, Pang Qing put Lu Qin on the line, but Lu Qin was still hesitating.

A battle in Hedong and a battle in Luoyang basically announced the decline of the Sima family. It is not surprising that Lu Qin had other thoughts.

Especially the Huaisi area, sandwiched between the north and the south, as long as Lu Qin is not stupid, he will know where to go.

Moreover, this person is one of the few people with integrity in this era. Pang Qingzuo mentioned that this person did not want to see the people of Huaisi caught in the flames of war, so he contacted him.

Of course, the final result depends on the development of the situation.

If Yang Zheng couldn't take down Yecheng and destroy Jin, of course he wouldn't surrender, after all, the Lu family was in Fanyang, Hebei.

"This is interesting. If Lu Qin surrendered, then Huainan and Huaibei were acquired by the Great Qin? Zhong Hui will lose a lot this time!" Riding on the horse, Yang Zheng felt that he was getting closer to unifying the world.

After reading all kinds of information, Wei Guan also beamed with joy, "The fate is in my Daqin, how can Zhong Hui have any chance of winning?"

Zhong Hui is naturally wishful thinking to attack the Central Plains from the north of the Yangtze River.

In history, the reason why Liu Yu was able to succeed was because of the Wuhu chaos in China, and a large number of northern Han people went south, which gave Jiangdong this strength.

Ming Taizu was able to succeed because Jiangnan's strength surpassed that of the North.

Zhong Hui has no ability to reverse the general trend of the world.

Moreover, Wu Jun under his command may not have such ambitions.

About an hour later, I raised my eyes and looked north. In the distance, Yecheng was located on the northern horizon, vaguely, like a giant beast, looking down on the land of Hebei.

Around the giant beast, there are many small beasts standing upright.

Wubao earth and mountains are connected.

As usual, Sima Yan built a large number of fortifications around the area, and dug Zhangzhou water to pour into the plain, forming hundreds of lakes and ponds of different sizes.

Dozens of earth hills around the lake block the main road, forming a condescending trend towards the south and west.

The terrain is extremely unfavorable for large corps operations, let alone cavalry charges.

After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao died of illness, and the Yuan brothers fought among themselves. Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack Yecheng in the north, built earth hills, dug tunnels, dug a deep trench two feet deep, two feet wide, and forty miles long, and poured water from the Zhang River into it. , cutting off the internal and external connections of Yecheng, besieged the city for several months, and starved to death most of the soldiers and civilians in the city before finally breaking through.

Sima Yan took the initiative to go out of the city to defend, obviously he had learned the lesson of Yuan Shang and turned the surrounding area of ​​Yecheng into an iron bucket.

Forward Ma Xunbu has already set up a camp.

Yang Zheng asked the soldiers to rest and strengthen the camp defense.

I'm afraid this battle will last for a while.

In the enemy camp on the opposite side, banners and flags were also unfurled, the positions were heavily guarded, and spears were like a forest behind the antlers.

The next day, early in the morning in the north, war drums roared, and a thousand-man cavalry rushed out of the camp, circling like vultures outside the camp of the Qin army.

Ma Xun also led a cavalry to chase him down.

But the opposite side is just an illusory circle, withdrawing into the camp from the east.

Ma Xun retreated, and after a while, the enemy cavalry came again.

Two cavalry galloped on the left and right wings, setting off smoke and dust all over the sky.

As soon as the Qin army sent troops, the enemy retreated again.

Tossed back and forth for a day.

"Small Jier, the bandit army will definitely attack the camp tonight!" Wei Guan saw through the enemy's plot at a glance.

"All the scouts are scattered, I want all the movement within a hundred miles."

"only!"

It is noisy during the day, but extremely quiet at night.

Yang Zheng had already set up an ambush, just waiting for the Jin army to come to make a surprise attack.

But until dawn, there was no movement from the Jin army. Many soldiers didn't sleep all night, but they were a little tired.

"It seems that the bandits don't have the guts to fight?" Yang Zheng was so sleepy.

Wei Guan was a little embarrassed, "I miscalculated."

"Soldiers are deceitful. They can show they can't. It's so easy to defeat the Jin army, so I don't need to go out myself." Yang Zheng comforted.

Just about to go to bed, there was thunderous roar outside the camp.

The sudden cavalry of the Jin army came again, with a lot of smoke and dust, and seemed to be carrying gongs and drums, rushed out from the northwest corner, passed the camp of the Qin army to the southeast, and roared away.

Liu Heng yelled, "The gang of assassins actually learned a certain unique skill?"

Yang Zheng looked annoyed, "Have the fire oil, crossbow arrows, Thunderbolt chariot, and Chong chariot been delivered?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I just arrived in Wen County."

With Yecheng in this state, the advantages of the cavalry of the Qin Army could not be fully utilized.

I don't know how many lives were needed to fill the surrounding fortifications.

"Ye City is strong, it is better to cut its branches and leaves first, and then break its foundation!" Wei Guan remonstrated.

"Oh?" This is the same idea as Yang Zheng's initial strategy of leveling Hebei and isolating Yecheng.

"Sima Yan gathered a large number of troops in Yecheng. Your Majesty can take Guantao, Neihuang, Qingyuan, Fanyang, Yuancheng, Liyang, Wushi, Yin'an and other places. If Sima Yan rescues, our cavalry can intercept and kill them halfway. If you don't rescue them, our army will eat them!" After being harassed all night, Wei Guan was still in high spirits.

Yang Zheng couldn't help feeling that his body was not as good as before, "It's not enough, let Ma Long lead the Bingzhou army out of Daijun, go down from Youzhou, and sweep Hebei. The army is heading east, attacking the city and occupying the territory."

When the military order was passed, Yang Zheng was just about to go to bed.

There was a roar outside the camp, "Yang Zheng, do you dare to fight to the death?"

The soldiers trotted in, "Your Majesty, the enemy general Zhang Fang led two thousand cavalry to challenge."

When Chen Qian attacked Huayin, Meng Guan almost died in his hands.

Zhang Fang became famous from this.

"The little thief dares to be rampant, and the minister is willing to fight!" Liu Heng cupped his hands.

Those who can beat him are basically the top fighters of this era.

Among the entire Qin army, there were only Wen Yang and Meng Yu.

Yang Zheng didn't think it was a big problem.

But Gou Xi, who was beside him, cupped his hands and said: "General Liu is an important general of the country, how can he fight against an unknown person? His subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to fight on their behalf."

A newborn ox is not afraid of tigers.

The last time they attacked Luoyang, Wang Jun surrendered without a fight, and Gou Xi didn't get any military exploits. He felt shameless and was always depressed.

It's hard to get an opportunity now.

By the way, he flattered Liu Heng, and Liu Heng grinned loudly, "Haha, what you said is true, I'm a chopper, I don't kill local chickens and dogs."

"allow!"

Since Gou Xi dared to go up, there should be two brushes. The cavalry melee is not a one-on-one fight, but it still needs to use some brains. Liu Heng is really worried about going up.
