Chapter 787 Comfort

"We are also willing to fight bloody battles for His Majesty!" Generals from the Zhong and Xin Second Battalions knelt in front of Yang Zheng.

Affected by Wang Jun, they also became impatient.

Birds die for food, and humans die for wealth. This is a wise saying.

Just shouting slogans without mentioning interests is pure hooliganism.

The combination of slogans and interests will be detrimental.

"Why should you be anxious? The battle is still to come, and you will have time to make contributions." Yang Zheng advised.

Wang Jun is just a forward.

The real war has not yet begun.

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

During the Han and Wei dynasties, the military system was implemented, and there were continuous wars. The people and soldiers were afraid of war.

When a man falls, a family may be left with their wives and children scattered and their families destroyed.

Now they are happy after hearing about the war and take the initiative to ask for war, which is their true return to the Qin Dynasty.

Taking Luoyang is just the beginning. If we want to conquer the hearts of the people, we must first disintegrate the hearts of the Central Plains.

Jin Yiwei and Xuanyi Lang had already rushed to the front, and there were twice as many storytellers in the major cities in the Central Plains as before, all of whom were promoting the Qin army's strategy of dividing fields and territories.

The people were doubtful.

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

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

The most powerful force was Yang Gu, a native of Yangxia who was known as Yang Zheng's own clan. He was defeated by Shi Bao and fled into the Dabie Mountains with more than a hundred riders. Sima Yan moved his capital to Yecheng. This man immediately went down the mountain and moved to fight in Huaixi. The force grew bigger and bigger, heading north to Yuyan, with an army of 30,000 people.

The soldiers from the common state did not dare to fight with him.

After Yang Zheng conquered Luoyang, there was a great earthquake in the world. Yang Gu also sent an envoy to bring his two young sons and the family tree.

The genealogy clearly states the inheritance of the old Yang family.

According to seniority, Yang Gu is really his cousin.

However, it is better to be cautious about this kind of thing. Mistaking an ancestor can be a big or small matter. Yang Zheng sent Pang Qing, Sun Yang, Jin Yiwei commander Li Jin and others to investigate in detail, and by the way, he took charge of the overall situation of Qingxu Yanyu.

Temporarily banished Yang Gu, a bandit general, to observe his character, and then support him with 50,000 stones of grain and grass, 500 sets of iron armor, and 1,000 war horses.

Judging from his record, he was lackluster. He was defeated many times, but he fought again and again. He became more courageous with every setback. His character was quite good.

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

In short, Yang Zheng is obsessed with this person.

If the blood relationship is right, we will definitely support him vigorously in the future.

In fact, this type of clan is most suitable for those who are not closely related by blood.

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

Zhong Hui really didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. He led Sun Jin, the Lord of Wu, and marched northward with an army of 200,000 from east of the Yangtze River. With great momentum, he recaptured Dongguan in one battle and conquered Hefei New City in another battle.

Just when everyone thought Zhong Hui was going to attack Shouchun, the troops suddenly turned and advanced towards Huaixi, heading straight for Xuchang.

Xuchang is the hometown of Zhong Hui, and the Yingchuan nobles are also waiting eagerly. There is a fire on both sides, and only the wedding room is about to be decorated with flowers and candles. The Wu army is almost without a fight along the way, and they advance with great success.

Lu Kang in the west also launched the Northern Expedition, uniting with Xiakou Tengmu, Chaisang, Lu Jing and other troops to attack Xiangyang.

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

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

He also brought out Zhuge Liang as a microphone, "Your Majesty attacks Hebei and I attack Henan. The two families will always form an alliance to destroy the Sima clan together and restore the world to peace and prosperity. Otherwise, I will wait for you in Xuchang!"

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said: "Zhong Hui is a clown. It's nothing to worry about. Your Majesty's war is to destroy the Jin Dynasty. No extraneous things can be allowed. The Yingchuan nobles will definitely support Zhong Hui. Our army goes south. Zhong Hui will defend the strong city for a long time.

Sima Yan of Yecheng has a chance to breathe!"

He and Zhong Hui are from aristocratic families and know how the nobles play.

The Yingchuan gentry were extremely united.

Now that Sima Yan is on his deathbed and Yang Zheng is unwilling to accept their conditions, collusion with Zhong Hui is inevitable.

Looking at the arrogant 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 is in Yecheng, not in Xuchang. Don't lose big because of small things. If our army destroys the Sima clan and unites the north and south of the Yellow River, and the cavalry goes south, can the north and south of the Huai River be resisted?"

Yang Zheng had boasted before that he wanted to organize the Zhonghui together. Now that the Zhonghui has really come, should he back down?

It happened that Du Yu's melodies also arrived.

"Zhong Huiji is a clever little thief who does not understand the general trend of the world. He only cares about Xuchang and does not make progress in Qingxu. He has lost the opportunity. He is really a short-sighted person and cannot compete with our great Qin. Moreover, Wu Jun misses his homeland and will not be willing to stay in the north.

Under Zhong Hui's forced orders, the morale of the land will inevitably be low. The top priority is to conquer Yecheng first, destroy Jin in one battle, and then wipe out Hebei. If the Sima clan is not destroyed, the world's general trend will continue to change..."

Yang Zheng took a few steps and laughed, "No problem, no problem, let Zhong Hui be arrogant for a while longer."

It is too difficult to fight on two fronts.

Sima Yan is sitting peacefully in Yecheng, while he and Zhong Hui are having a prosperous fight in Xuchang. What is this?

Zhong Hui's route was actually wrong.

The area near Xuchang was raided several times by Yang Gu, but there wasn't much oil or water.

When the Qin army marched eastward, the only common people fled and the population became even more depleted. The only political significance of Xuchang was 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 land with the most money, food and population.

Of course, for Zhong Hui, Xuchang was a return home in splendid clothes, while Qingxu was traveling at night in splendid clothes.

A person's character determines his or her behavior.

In fact, for anyone, the first thing they would consider is returning to their hometown.

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

Qin Wu did not break his skin, and everyone continued to understand each other tacitly.

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

As expected, the surrendering troops seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac, and they were so fierce that they swept eastward from Luoyang, sweeping away fallen leaves like the autumn wind.

Hulao Pass, Xingyang, Chenliu, and Dingtao were captured one after another.

The surrender troops joining the Eastern Expedition grew bigger and bigger like a snowball. The number of 20,000 people at the time of the expedition had grown to 40,000 by the time they reached Chenliu.

Under the supervision of the Xuanyi Division and the Zhenfu Division, wherever the army attacked, the fields were divided.

Some powerful people tried to use Wubao to resist.

But in a blink of an eye, the private soldiers, serfs, and servants instigated by the Jin Yiwei were beheaded. There were hundreds of people in the family, no one was spared, and all the property was looted by the rebels...

The powerful nobles would either drag their families and their families north to Yecheng, or go south to avoid the chaos in Jiangdong.

However, there were also enlightened nobles who took the initiative to surrender to the Qin army to save money and avoid disaster.

Wang Jun didn't embarrass them either.

Afraid that Yang Zheng would blame him, he also wrote a memorial, explaining that not all powerful nobles were full of evil, and there were many wise people among them who could be used by the Qin Dynasty.

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

It is almost impossible to completely eliminate them.

So what if it is eliminated?

Decades later, a new group of powerful nobles will grow up again.

The powerful nobles are also part of China's strength.

"You have the right to uphold integrity and you can make your own decision." Yang Zheng has always used people without doubting others.
