Chapter 97 tacit understanding
Wei Chenghan system, salt and iron are monopolized by the government.

There are some private salt dealers in Fanghan, but there are basically no private iron sellers.

Only people with a strong background like Fatty Feng dared to touch this business.

Wang Mang once said in the imperial edict: Iron is the foundation of farmers.

In this era, iron not only represents advanced productivity, but also a symbol of war power.

If Yesujiang's iron smelting level was stronger, Yang Zheng would not be able to bear it and walk away.

In the cold night, Yang Zheng ordered the demolition of some tents in the valley, and a big fire was lit at the mouth of the valley.

There are many stones and few trees in the valley, and wood is also a scarce resource, and Yang Zheng is reluctant to use it to make a fire for cooking.

You can only throw the corpses of the enemies in front of the formation into the fire.

Qiang people have always advocated cremation, and this behavior is not disrespectful to the dead.

But the smell is a little bad.

A tumult in the stomach.

A little smell is nothing compared to the cold.

The soldiers and the guards were divided into three groups, and they took turns sleeping.

It was probably during the day that Jiang Faye killed all the rebels among the Qiang people, and the Qiang people were particularly peaceful.

In this weather, don't even think about night raids.

It's good for soldiers to survive.

After the inspection, Yang Zheng took a nap, and it was already daylight when he woke up.

The surrounding soldiers were still sleeping, Zhao Ah Qi felt the movement, woke up suddenly, and pressed the handle of the knife reflexively.

Yang Zheng softly motioned him not to disturb others.

The two walked to the mouth of the valley and encouraged the soldiers who stood firm one by one.

The enemies on the opposite side huddled together in the cold night, stayed up all night, half asleep, and in the morning, they didn't have much energy.

"The enemy is exhausted, our army is ready to charge!" Zhao Aqi's eyes flashed coldly.

After this battle, Yang Zheng no longer doubted the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

However, the troops on our side are weak after all, and Ruhe Shaoge arranged a lot of ravines, refused horses, and forcibly attacked, and the casualties must be heavy.

Yang Zheng's psychological expectation is not simply to defeat them.

Now he is coveting the ironware of Sujiang.

If Ye Sujiang had been shrinking in Jishi Mountain, no one could do anything to him.

Historically, in order to capture Jishibao, Ge Shuhan gathered [-] elites from Longyou and lost tens of thousands before he could even take down Shibao City.

Now that Ye Sujiang took the initiative to come out, it was a rare opportunity, and Yang Zheng didn't want to let him go back.

"Don't worry, the enemy has entered a dangerous place without knowing it. They seem to besieging us, but they are actually in a dilemma. If it takes one more day, their combat power will decline by one day." Yang Zheng said confidently.

The cliff cave in Duanfeng Valley is also the place where the logging department stores grain, and all the grain donated to them before is stored here.

Together with their own food storage, it is enough for more than a thousand people in the valley to eat for several months.

Don't panic if you have food in your hand.

The longer it takes, the greater the advantage.

As long as Zhang Te appears, it is the enemy's death.

The soldiers and the soldiers all woke up refreshed.

"General!" The soldiers saluted Yang Zheng with adoring eyes.

Yang Zheng greeted with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"I also dreamed that I married a daughter-in-law!" Jun Bing always regarded Yang Zheng as his brother, and he didn't care much about speaking in private.

"Let me see if your crotch is wet." Another soldier reached out to touch it.

The two were fighting and fighting, which caused a burst of laughter around them.

Yang Zheng also laughed.

In the afternoon, Ehe Shaoge and Yesujiang attacked again.

Morale is often exhausted again and again.

The Qiang people have strong explosive power, but they are not resistant to hard fighting.

Yesterday's soldiers were strong and horses were strong, and the soldiers were slightly afraid. They still couldn't break through Taniguchi, let alone now.

No matter how desperate Ruhe Shaoge and Ye Sujiang were behind him, Taniguchi was still as stable as Mount Tai.

The soldiers became more and more proficient and calm. In the two-day battle, only a dozen people were killed in battle, and more than forty people were slightly or seriously injured.

Compared with the hundreds of corpses dropped by the enemy, this loss is acceptable.

The Qiang people attacked twice in response to the errand, and retreated with low morale.

Ehe yelled, "Yang Zheng, let's see how long you can stay inside!"

Yang Zheng laughed out loud, and suddenly felt that this guy was cute and silly.

Don't worry about the front line, Yang Zheng returned to the valley.

The more than 300 young and strong remaining in the logging department cannot be wasted.

Jiang Faye's injury was taken care of and gradually improved.

Now he is obedient to Yang Zheng.

The two are not only brothers in life and death, but also the de facto Weng son-in-law. Although their generations are a bit chaotic, the relationship between them is getting closer and closer.

Yang Zheng was also polite, and asked the old soldiers in the personal army to start training them.

Some of the Qiang people had participated in the battle of Jianzhong that day, and they were considered veterans, who could go into battle and kill the enemy with a knife.

However, in view of the strong explosive power of the Qiang people and the characteristics of being impatient and hard-working, Yang Zheng did not pull them to the front line, but let them prepare in the rear.

In the next two days, the morale of the other party was getting higher and higher, and the opponent was getting lower and lower. They didn't even make a symbolic attack. They just piled up stones to build a camp, as if they wanted to consume Yang Zheng to death with these things.

Seeing their front and rear battalions piled up rocks, my heart moved. Could it be that their rear was threatened?

It must be Zhang Te.

Yang Zheng's spirit was lifted, and the situation in Mingyue Gorge had completely reversed.

"Look, general!" Gongsun Fu pointed to the mountain peak to the north.

Suddenly a banner appeared on the high cliff with only one word "Wei" on it, and the reinforcements finally came.

Zhang Te really lived up to his trust.

The war is about to kick off.

Yang Zheng stood in front of the army holding a sword, his majestic eyes swept across the crowd, "The battle of our rise is just around the corner!"

The soldiers looked excited.

But Yang Zheng was not sure when to attack, so he could only wait quietly.

At night, the fire in the enemy camp was brightly lit, and it seemed that they had a premonition of something bad, so they no longer spared wood.

Yang Zheng still adopted the strategy of three teams taking turns, with one team defending and the other two resting.

The soldiers had already adapted to the war, and they went to sleep calmly, following the example of the old soldiers.

Until dawn, Zhang Te did not launch an attack.

But Yang Zheng could feel the approach of the war, which was a veteran's intuition.

Dawn, the gathering of darkness and morning light, is also the most exhausting moment for people.

Suddenly, Yang Zheng, who was dozing in Taniguchi, opened his eyes, "The whole army is ready to attack!"

"Get up! Get up!" The old soldiers heard the sound and woke up the robes around them.

Not long after, Jiang Faye brought more than [-] Qiang people who had been recharging their energy for many days and stood at the front, "This battle should be fought first!"

Yang Zheng knew that Jiang Faye wanted to make up for the previous estrangement.

On the other hand, anyone who wants to integrate into a new group has to come up with some real materials.

"Your injury..."

"A little injury, so what?" At this moment, Jiang Faye seemed to be ten years younger.

After all, he is the father-in-law. Yang Zheng has been close to Chun Niang and Ah Lian in the past few months, and their relationship is improving every day.

Anything can happen on the battlefield.

Seeing that he was very determined, Yang Zheng took off his black light armor and put it on him.

This move greatly moved Jiang Faye, who has always been calm, and his eyes became a little softer, "General..."

"You and I are family now."

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.

Now it's time for these Qiang people to make up for it.

The darkness receded silently.

The morning light is like a sharp sword tearing apart the night sky above Mingyue Gorge.

"kill!"

Violent shouts of killing erupted on the east side of the canyon.

As if the landslide was splitting, the shouts caused the snow on the cliff to fall.

The black tide came surging from the east.

Come with the light of dawn!

Yang Zheng swung his sword to the east, thousands of words gathered into one word: "Kill!"

Jiang Faye's Qiang people rushed to the front, there was no formation, but everyone was like a crazy tiger.

After that came six hundred soldiers, advancing in formation, with shields like heavy mountains and swords like white waves, shining in the morning light...
