During the Jin and Jin Dynasties, the Xie family in Chen County had some integrity.

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

Moreover, the current Xie family of Chen County is just a powerful person at best.

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

There are countless suitors.

Yang Zheng ordered a two-day rest and waited for supplies from the rear to be delivered.

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

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

To the north, Qian Hong was indeed unable to open up the situation in Daijun. His attack was frustrated and was delayed by Malong's various schemes. However, Qian Hong simply retreated back to Hebei when he saw that he could not open up the situation, and went south to participate in the Battle of Yecheng.

To the east, after Wang Jun made a great advance at the beginning, he was blocked by Wang Hun in Dongping, and there was a battle of victory and defeat.

The two were enemies in history, but now that they are facing each other in chess, they will encounter talents, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Pang Qing, Sun Yang and others secretly investigated in Yangxia and confirmed that Yang Gu's identity was not forged and that he was indeed from the same family as Yang Zheng.

In addition, Pang Qing also contacted Lu Qin, but Lu Qin was still hesitant.

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, Lu Qin would know where to go as long as he was not stupid.

Moreover, this man was a rare man of integrity in this era. Pang Qing mentioned in a memorial that this man did not want to see the people of Huaisi trapped in the flames of war, so he contacted him.

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

If Yang Zheng could not capture Yecheng and destroy the Jin Kingdom, they would certainly not surrender. After all, the Lu family was in Fanyang, Hebei Province.

"This is interesting. If Lu Qin surrenders, then Huainan and Huaibei will be gained by Great Qin? Zhong Hui will lose a lot this time!" Yang Zheng was riding on his horse, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to unifying the world.

After reading all kinds of information, Wei Guan was also very happy, "My destiny is with our Da Qin, how can Zhong Hui have any chance of winning?"

Zhong Hui was naturally delusional about the Jiangbei expedition to the Central Plains.

Historically, the reason why Liu Yu was able to succeed was because the Five Husbands invaded China and a large number of northern Han people went south, which gave Jiangdong such strength.

Ming Taizu was able to succeed because the strength of Jiangnan surpassed that of the north.

Zhong Hui does not have the ability to reverse the general trend of the world.

Moreover, the Wu army under his command may not have this ambition.

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 from the wild, overlooking the land of Hebei.

Surrounding the giant beast, there are many smaller beasts standing upright.

Wubao is connected to the mountains.

As usual, Sima Yan built a large number of fortifications in the surrounding areas, dug water into the plains, and poured it into the plains, forming hundreds of lakes of different sizes.

Dozens of mountains around the lake block the main road, forming a condescending view to the south and west.

The terrain is extremely unfavorable for large regiment operations, and even less conducive for cavalry charges.

After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao died of illness, and there was internal strife among the Yuan brothers. Cao Cao took the opportunity to go north to attack Ye City. He built a mountain of earth and dug tunnels. He dug a deep trench two feet deep, two feet wide and forty miles long, and poured water from the Zhang River into it. , cut off contact between the inside and outside of Ye City, besieged the city for several months, and starved most of the soldiers and civilians in the city to death before finally breaking through.

Sima Yan took the initiative to go out to defend the city, obviously learning from Yuan Shang's lesson, and turned the surrounding areas of Yecheng into iron barrels.

The vanguard, Ma Xunbu, has already set up camp.

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

I'm afraid this war will be stalemate for a while.

In the enemy camp on the opposite side, there are also flags fluttering, the formations are strict, and there are forests of spears behind the antlers.

The next day, war drums roared early in the morning in the north, and a cavalry force of a thousand people rushed out of the camp and circled like vultures outside the Qin army's camp.

Ma Xun also led a group of cavalry to pursue him.

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

Ma Xun retreated, but not long after, the enemy's cavalry came again.

Two cavalrymen galloped on the left and right wings, raising smoke and dust all over the sky.

The Qin army had just sent out troops, but the enemy retreated again.

It took a day of back and forth.

"You're such a bastard, the bandit army will definitely attack the camp tonight!" Wei Guan saw through the enemy's plan at a glance.

"Scatter all the scouts, I want all the movement within a hundred miles."

"only!"

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

Yang Zheng had already set up an ambush and was just waiting for the Jin army to attack.

However, until dawn, there was still no movement from the Jin army. Many soldiers had not slept all night and were a little tired.

"It seems that the rebels don't have the guts to fight?" Yang Zheng felt sleepy.

Wei Guan was a little embarrassed, "I made a miscalculation."

"Soldiers are deceitful. They can show their inability if they can. If the Jin army can be defeated so easily, there is no need for me to go out personally." Yang Zheng said with relief.

Just as I was getting ready to go to bed, there was a thunderous roar outside the camp.

The Jin army's sudden cavalry came again, with huge smoke and dust, and seemed to be carrying gongs and drums. They rushed out from the northwest corner, passed by the Qin army's camp to the southeast, and roared away.

Liu Heng yelled, "These killers actually learned a certain skill?"

Yang Zheng looked annoyed, "Have you delivered the fire oil, crossbow arrows, and thunder carts?"

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

With Yecheng in this state, the Qin army's cavalry could not fully utilize its advantages.

It’s unknown how many lives were needed to fill the surrounding fortifications.

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

"Oh?" This is the same idea as Yang Zheng's initial plan to wipe out Hebei and isolate Yecheng.

"Sima Yan has gathered a large number of troops in Ye City. Your Majesty can take Guantao, Neihuang, Qingyuan, Fanyang, Yuancheng, Liyang, Wushi, Yin'an and other places. If Sima Yan comes to rescue, our cavalry can intercept and kill him halfway.

, If you don’t rescue them, our army will eat them up!" After being harassed all night, Wei Guan was still in high spirits.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but lamented that his health was not as good as before, "It was not enough, so he ordered Ma Long to lead the army to merge the states out of Dai County, go down from Youzhou, and sweep across Hebei. Wen Yang led 50,000 left troops to the north, and Meng Hui led 50,000 right troops.

The army marched eastward and captured the city."

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

The roar outside the camp was like thunder, "Young son Yang Zheng, do you dare to fight to the death?"

The soldiers trotted in and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy general Zhang Fang leads two thousand infantry and cavalry to challenge."

When Chen Qian conquered Huayin, Meng Guan almost died at the hands of this man.

Zhang Fang became famous as a result.

"How dare you, the little thief, be so rampant, I am willing to fight!" Liu Heng said with cupped hands.

Those who can defeat him are basically the top warriors of this era.

Among the entire Qin army, there were only two people, Wen Yang and Meng Hui.

Yang Zheng thinks the problem is not big.

However, Gou Xi, who was beside him, cupped his hands and said, "General Liu is an important general of the country, how can he fight with an unknown person? My subordinates are not talented, so I am willing to fight on my behalf."

Newborn Niu Dou is not afraid of tigers.

The last time he attacked Luoyang, Wang Jun surrendered without a fight. Gou Xi failed to win any military exploits and felt that he had no face to show off to others and was always depressed.

Now I finally got an opportunity.

By the way, he flattered Liu Heng. Liu Heng grinned and said, "Haha, what you said is true. I am a bull's sword and I will not kill native chickens or dogs."

"allow!"

Since Gou Xi dares to go up, he should have two brushes. The cavalry melee is not a one-on-one battle, so he still needs to use his brains. Liu Heng is really worried about going up.
