Criticism

Three hundred thousand Qin troops marched eastward.

It is mighty and mighty, like a torrent, trying to sweep across the heaven and earth.

Yang Zheng is riding on Wu Yu's back, and the once good horse is already showing signs of aging.

However, his spirit is extremely high, not inferior to other horses around him.

Occasionally, it makes one or two low sounds, as if to warn other war horses.

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

Looking back to the left and right, one can see endless cavalry and infantry, surrounded by generals of all races.

The sound of horses' hooves and the clanking of armor was like muffled thunder.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. In the past, I was always worried that the Sima family would have the upper hand on me. Now the situation has completely reversed. It is Yang Zheng who has the upper hand on the Sima family.

This battle brought together almost all the forces in Kansai.

The Qiang in the Plateau, the tribes in the Mobei, the Hu in the Hexi...

The Qiang, Hu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei were all integrated under the banner of Qin.

The integration of various ethnic groups is the general trend, and the Han people have been in a de facto period of decline after the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Eastern Han Dynasty could not help the Western Qiang, and Cao Wei, half of the country, barely suppressed the grassland, but the power of the Xianbei people continued to grow, and the You and Liang San

The state has almost become a barren land, and the influence of the Han people continues to shrink.

When the Sima family came to power, they did not have the ability to clean up Cao Wei's accumulated shortcomings, and the situation worsened.

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

In the end, Ma Long recruited 3,000 volunteers to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Qiang and Hu coalition troops with Bald Hair Tree Function, and saved the face of the Sima family.

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

The Qiang, Hu, Xiongnu and Xianbei are certainly barbaric.

But the great man once said that the body is barbaric, but the spirit is civilized!

The culture of the Central Plains has reached the peak of this era, but the scholars were addicted to talking about metaphysics, taking Five Stone Powder, and indulged in enjoyment, which caused the spiritual decay and degeneration of the entire ethnic group.

Only with barbaric stimulation can they wake up from false prosperity.

Only when barbarism and civilization collide and blend with each other can their spirits be reshaped.

History also develops in this way.

But it was a passive blending, and China sacrificed mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and numerous bones...

It took hundreds of years of blood and tears to create the dazzling glory 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 China from shedding four hundred years of blood and tears!

This may be the real purpose of God allowing him to time travel.

The mainstay, the one who turned the tide, the genius, the great cause, the people who saved the people, and the foundation of the country's destiny like a rock, no one but a great hero can do it!

At this moment, Yang Zheng is no longer a person, but a god who controls destiny under the trend of the times!

With one order, hundreds of thousands of people would rush to the front.

With one word, mountains and rivers will change color and blood will flow into rivers.

One idea can change the direction of an entire civilization.

It’s no wonder that when Fu Jian’s 800,000-strong army destroyed the Jin Dynasty in history, there was a saying that he would throw a whip to cut off the flow.

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

Arriving at Anyi, there were busy figures everywhere, and the army's early supplies were stored here.

In addition to the soldiers, there were also 50,000 to 60,000 young men who had been conscripted to carry the baggage back and forth.

Ma Long and Zhang Te came from Shangdang and Hanoi.

As soon as they met, Ma Long advised: "Since ancient times, a gentleman has not stood behind a dangerous wall, let alone Your Majesty. The road to Hebei is long and difficult. Sima Yan has strong walls and clear fields, and strong cities everywhere. If the situation goes against him, it will only damage morale."

The Qin army marched eastward, and the Jin army was not idle either.

The whole of Hebei was shrinking its military strength, building deep ditches and high fortifications, and fortifying everywhere. It also loosened the last shackles on the powerful nobles and recruited soldiers on its own.

A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.

Although the Qin army is strong, there are too many local snakes and powerful dragons can do nothing.

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

Sima Zhao's army of hundreds of thousands besieged Shouchun for a year, and all means were used to capture Shouchun.

Zhuge Ke's 200,000-strong army marched north, but was blocked by the new city defended by 3,000 to 4,000 men.

Of course, the person most familiar with the situation in Hebei is Ma Long.

Yang Zheng was slightly displeased and said, "With my 300,000 men, where can't I capture?"

Wei Guan on the side kept winking at Malong.

However, Ma Long seemed not to have seen it, "Your Majesty is very powerful and I am brave. How many cities can your Majesty capture? Hebei is a powerful force that has linked up with the three armies of Liaodong. It is quite powerful. Your Majesty must not leave lightly!"

"Your Majesty has decided on the strategy of dispatching troops. Do you think Governor Ma wants to disobey his orders?" Seeing Ma Long's reluctance, Pang Qing scolded.

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty always accepts advice with an open mind, but Shi Pang's words are serious."

After a small confrontation between the two, Yang Zheng came to his senses.

Ma Long's temperament is not good for people but for his own good and the good of Great Qin.

Pang Qing made a fuss out of a molehill.

"So how should this battle be based on Governor Ma's strategy?" Yang Zheng is not a person who cannot listen to advice.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty has 300,000 troops under his command, including Shangdang, Hanoi front-line government troops, Muqi, and the Five-Character Battalion. The righteousness has never been less than 100,000 troops. Why divide the troops? If one place is defeated, the morale of the entire army is low. I think

, we should concentrate our forces to attack one place!"

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

"What do you think Zichan?" Yang Zheng asked Zhang Te, who was silent on 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, the priority is to attack the heart, and the next priority is to attack the city."

"How to attack the mind?"

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

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

Ma Long cupped his hands and said: "I have the same intention. Although Sima Yan moved the capital, the hearts of the people in the world have not changed. If the Qin Dynasty takes Luoyang, people's hearts will definitely be shaken. Then he will spread the message to the Central Plains of Hebei. Those who follow will be rewarded, and those who don't will be punished.

Cut off the wings of Ye City, and Sima Jin will surely fall apart!"

"Great idea!" Yang Zheng slapped his thigh.

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

Twenty years of fighting in battles have formed a habit, and I like to draw a knife myself when encountering any problem.

It was nothing before, but it's different now.

At whatever stage a person is, one should do things at that stage.

It is the general's job to charge into battle.

Can't Zhang Te and Ma Long sit in Hanoi and lead the army to attack in a roundabout way?

This is putting the cart before the horse and is not what an emperor should do.

Yang Zheng handed over to Zhang Te and Ma Long, "If the state has dissatisfied ministers, how can the Qin Dynasty not prosper?"

Ma Long bowed his hand and returned the courtesy, "If you have a critic, you also need a wise king with a universal mind."

Yang Zheng laughed loudly, this flattery was quite high-end.

Luoyang has been the capital of the Chinese Empire for two to three hundred years and holds a very important position in people's hearts. It is not something that Sima Yan can just move away if he just wants to move the capital.

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

Luoyang was empty instead.

The art of war is actually just one thing: avoid the truth and attack the fictitious!

Furthermore, Luoyang is sandwiched between Kansai and Kanto, making it the best base for departure.

By capturing this place, the Qin army can not only reach Hebei, but also move down the Yellow River, Luoshui River, and Yingshui River. Qingxu, Yanyu, and Jingyang will all be under attack.

Even if Zhong Hui sends troops to fight for the Central Plains, as long as Yang Zheng holds Luoyang in his hands, Zhong Hui will not be able to jump up.

Going down the Ying River, Xuchang, Yingshang, and Shouchun were all within the range of the Qin army's crossbows.

The Sima family was able to quell the three rebellions in Huainan back then, all because of this.

"Send the order, take Luoyang first!"
