Sima Fu's body was hung on a high pole and walked around the city.

The defenders finally put down their weapons and knelt in the bloody mud.

Some people also saw Sima Fu's body and shouted to avenge the Taiwei.

Yang Zheng could only help them, trampling them with cavalry and dismembering them with swords.

The killings in the city gradually subsided. Not everyone was as crazy as Sima Fu. They also wanted to live.

But the chaos continues, and city searches are inevitable.

"Your Majesty, Wang Ji is stubbornly resisting in the northeast corner and will not surrender." A scout came to report.

Even now, Wang Ji still has to resist fearlessly and is truly loyal to the Sima family.

When they came to the front of the formation, they saw that the houses in the front row had been knocked down to form earthen ramparts. The Wei army stood behind the earthen ramparts, waiting in formation with spears, large shields, crossbows and daggers.

The corpses under the earthen barrier have said that they have been attacked many times.

The thousands of troops in Wang Ji's hands are worthy of being a powerful force that has experienced several wars. At this point, they still have to fight to the death.

"The thieves are in a desperate situation. The weather is freezing and the ground is freezing. My subordinates thought that they would definitely die. If we surrounded them all night, they would be frozen to death tomorrow." Meng Fei said with some shame.

"If there are people inside, Wang Ji will not die." Yang Zhenghan said with a face.

Meng Fei cupped his hands and said, "After Wang Ji retreated into this fortress, he drove away the people inside."

Yang Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Ji still had some humanity. In fact, it was not that he couldn't conquer this fortress.

It's just that the casualties in the street fighting were too high, and Wang Ji obviously wanted to pull up a few people on his back before he died and serve his master Sima family loyally.

Gain a reputation for loyalty.

But Yang Zheng is responsible for the lives of his subordinates.

"Let someone persuade you to surrender."

Even though I know it's unlikely, I still have to try. If it doesn't work, it can also demoralize the enemy.

"Follow orders."

After a while, several soldiers came forward with shields and shouted, "People inside, listen, Sima Fu is dead, Chang'an has returned to the Hussar General, surrender can avoid death."

There was silence at first, then a burst of scattered arrows.

"Listen, Thief Yang, if you have the guts, go ahead and attack." Someone in the fortress shouted.

"Bloody bones." Yang Zheng cursed secretly.

The soldiers around him were eager to try and seize every opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

However, enough people have died in this war, there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.

"Surround them and freeze them all night." Yang Zheng had seen their equipment, wearing thin linen clothes and iron armor or leather armor on the outside.

There's no way we can survive such a cold day tomorrow.

"Report to the lord, Sima Wang was not found." Pang Qing came to report.

Yang Zheng was stunned, "Have you searched the whole city?"

"There are still a few powerful noble families, but I haven't searched them yet."

"Why not search?" Yang Zheng stared at Pang Qing.

The people in the city suffered heavy casualties, but they were free and easy. There is no such reason.

Just because Sima Fu couldn't move them didn't mean that Yang Zheng didn't dare.

Ever since he captured Guzang, Yang Zheng has been thinking about his relationship with the gentry.

In fact, this problem has always existed in all dynasties, even in later generations.

It's just a different name.

If he reaches the end and overthrows the Sima family, his group of people will probably evolve into new powerful nobles.

The key is not how powerful the nobles are, but whether I can suppress them and use them to my advantage, not to theirs.

So move when you need to, and kill when you need to kill.

My power does not come from them, but from the knife, from the lower-level officers and people of Liangzhou.

Hold the knife tightly, those who follow me will live, those who go against me will perish!

Now that we have reached this point, we no longer need to be secretive.

Yang Zheng has no interest in following the path of Cao Pi and Sima Zhao.

They gave too many things to the noble families, and others may not value their own wealth.

Moreover, in order to usurp Wei, Sima Zhao took greater steps and tied himself more closely with the noble families.

Pang Qing hurriedly knelt down and cupped his hands, "My subordinates are confused for a moment."

"Are you really afraid that the nobles in the world will eat my flesh and sleep on my skin? Hum, if they have the guts, just come. I have loyal and brave soldiers around me, so I'm afraid they won't do it!" Yang Zheng said loudly.

All the surrounding soldiers were in high spirits.

"My subordinates will lead the troops forward immediately." Pang Qing said with cupped hands.

Yang Zheng nodded, "Send some people to cook some hot porridge to help the people in the city and the surrendered troops, demolish the Sima Mansion and use it as firewood, and try not to kill more people."

Many corpses in the city had been cut into pieces, and there was a faint smell of burning in the city.

That was someone burning the bones to keep warm.

When hungry and cold, people cease to be human.

"only!"

The rain and snow stopped at midnight, the cold wind howled, and the dampness penetrated deeper into the bones.

Yang Zheng ordered his soldiers to set up a fire in front of the base, roast the mutton, and cook broth.

The rich aroma of meat is even more attractive in the cold night.

The soldiers laughed happily.

On the opposite side, heads were cocked, eyes glowing, like hungry wolves, with saliva drooling from their mouths.

"People on the other side listen, as long as you come out and surrender, you can eat meat and drink alcohol!" the soldiers shouted loudly towards the other side.

Flames, wine and meat, the temptation reached its extreme in this cold night.

After only half an hour, someone in the base couldn't resist and walked out with dull eyes.

With a "Hugh" sound, an arrow shot out, but because it was weak, it was nailed to his feet.

Several soldiers from the Liangzhou Army rushed forward with their shields and carried him back.

Under the brightest bonfire, this surrendered soldier frantically ate the barbecue. His face, which was originally strong and cold, burst into tears as he ate, and suddenly he burst into tears.

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and sighed again in his heart.

How many people are helpless in this troubled world.

How many people were shattered to pieces on the battlefield.

How many people work hard all their lives, but have no food and clothing, and their wives and children are separated...

Yang Zheng came from the bottom, so he knew the suffering of the people and soldiers at the bottom.

"Come out, everyone on the other side has come out."

In the dim light of the fire, Wei soldiers walked out of the camp one after another. Some people took a few steps, fell to the ground, and never moved again.

As long as you walk in front of the bonfire, you will be served a bowl of hot soup and a piece of barbecue.

Just like the first surrendered army, these people started to cry while eating.

The cold wind is howling and the clouds are gloomy.

How many people are really not afraid of death?

More and more people put down their weapons and walked out of the camp tremblingly.

Yang Zheng felt something in his heart, and he shouted in front of the fortress, "Wang Ji, you are helping Zhou to commit evil and sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people in the city for the Sima family. Are you in vain to be a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan? What face do you have to the people of the world?"

Murder and heart-wrenching.

Defeating the enemy physically is only the lowest form of victory, but defeating the enemy mentally is the most brilliant method!

Don’t you, Wang Ji, want to be a loyal minister of the Sima family?

Then he will be tied to the pillar of shame of the Sima family for the rest of his life!

"Child Yang Zheng, don't say anything more. Today is just a death!" An old and tired voice came from the fortress.

A slightly thin figure appeared in the night.

Wang Ji held a long sword and stood majestically on the earthen base.
