Yaowu

Fifty miles northwest of the Qin army's camp, the scouts unexpectedly found another small coal mine.

The severe cold in winter completely turned into the Qin army's advantage.

Yang Zheng ordered coal from Hanoi to be sent to Luoyang and Wancheng to warm the armies of Zhang Te and Du Yu.

It seems that the Pingdingshan coal mine in later generations was located in the Wanluo area.

However, due to the cold weather and heavy snowfall, it will be difficult to transport it out for a while. Hanoi is not far from the two places and can be transported directly.

"It only takes one small victory, and Sima Yan can't stand it anymore!" Yang Zheng looked at Yecheng Road.

Xiangguo, Liyang, Qinghe, if you win anywhere, the victory will be biased towards Da Qin.

The Jin army became weaker and weaker, and people kept escaping from the city at night and surrendering to the Qin army camp with a narrow escape.

The reality in the city was also exposed.

Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "Such a minor injury is not a problem."

Moreover, Zhong Hui was trapped in Xuchang City, with insufficient food and grass, and was unable to advance or retreat.

In this kind of weather, the defenders have a huge advantage.

Yang Zheng put on his armor and cloak and went out of the camp with everyone.

The soldiers shouted in unison: Long live the Qin Dynasty!

But Sima Yan could never wait for this opportunity.

Ringed swords, large shields, and iron armor with long spears, all in a majestic array, stood quietly under the city wall.

"Looking at the world, who else can be the enemy of the Qin soldiers?" Yang Zheng raised his arms and shouted.

After a while, a yellow cap appeared on the tower.

With the Xianbei people gone, the Wu army would not be able to rush north to help in this weather.

When the Qin Dynasty was employing people, the Cui family decisively moved to Guanzhong. With their family background, are they still afraid that the family will not prosper in the future?

"Your Majesty has a coal stove and other powerful tools to keep out the cold. The victory of this battle has been decided." Wei Guan complimented.

A mighty army of soldiers replaced ordinary soldiers.

Hundreds of war drums roared and horns sounded.

Groups of trembling defenders were driven up to the city wall, with their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked. They looked as if they were facing a powerful enemy, but they looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

Even though the Qin army is now suppressing the Jin army, there are not many powerful nobles who take the initiative to surrender.

"Down, down, down!"

"Your Majesty can take advantage of the great victory and attack with one blow!" Wei Guan suggested.

A qualified monarch should also cherish the lives of his soldiers when conditions permit.

At this time, Zhao Aqi came in with his eyebrows flying, "Your Majesty, the great victory in Qinghe! Generals Meng and Liu, with the help of the Cui family in Qinghe, defeated the three Xianbei tribes and are on their way back to the army!"

And once one's own side loses, a shadow will be cast in the hearts of the soldiers.

Meng Guan was radiant, Liu Heng was grinning widely, and the huge scars on his face looked shocking.

"Wei!" Zhao Aqi bowed his hands and stepped back.

Cui's family tradition has always been both civilized and martial. Cui Yan studied under Zheng Xuan. He was not only a great Confucian and a famous scholar, but also good at swordsmanship and extremely martial.

The other generals and staff in the tent were all very happy.

Sima Yan's only chance to make a comeback was gone.

A qualified general cherishes the lives of his soldiers.

Twenty thousand elites lined up one after another in the cold wind.

Sima Yan pinned his hopes on the three Xianbei tribes and the Wu army, believing that as long as they lasted for another two or three months, the Qin army would have difficulties in supplying, its morale would be low, and when it lost ground, it would be time to launch a massive counterattack.

The soldiers shouted to the city wall over and over again.

Its clanging sound is like a long sword being unsheathed.

At this time, the Jin army in the city did not know that the Qin army was burning coal to keep warm.

Just listen to these words.

"The common people have admired your majesty's reputation for a long time. They only regret that they are separated by heaven and have to bow down to the Jin Dynasty. Your majesty forgives you."

Behind the two men, there were a group of scribes with swords hanging from their waists.

"You have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light to help the Qin Dynasty defeat the thieves. You have meritorious service and no guilt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them were overjoyed.

No need to think, Sima Yan is here.

Yang Zheng led 20,000 elite troops to show off their power under the city.

However, some Jin generals were holding swords and roaring something at the top of the city.

The sound waves got louder and louder, impacting Yecheng, which was like an iron barrel.

"Okay!" Yang Zheng jumped up from the bed, "You came just in time, go and prepare, I will go and greet you personally!"

Yang Zheng helped the two of them up and patted their shoulders, "You are indeed my sons!"

The Jin army in Yecheng became more and more frightened.

The Jin army did not collapse after all.

"Little citizen Cui Shu, Cui Sui pays homage to Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed their hands.

Wei Wu and Cao Cao both respected and feared...

Not long after, shouts also sounded from the northeast: Long live, long live!

Iron cavalry and soldiers drove more than ten thousand Xianbei prisoners, rolling in.

Murong and Yuwen's tooth flags were wrapped in countless flags with the word "Qin".

"Wei!" The guard came forward to help Liu Heng.

"A small injury can kill you. Take him down and heal him quickly!" Liu Heng winked at Lin Sen and other personal guards. The four of them hugged his hands and feet and lifted him down like a pig. It's so annoying.

The crowd burst into laughter.

After chatting for a while, Yang Zheng ordered the Xianbei prisoners to be driven close to the city wall so that the Jin troops on the city could see clearly.

The defenders of the city wall fell into complete silence.

In fact, after the Hedong War, the situation in the world was already doomed. Da Qin was destined to dominate the world, and Sima Yan was destined to linger on no matter how hard he struggled.

Now that with the Xianbei people's livestock and the grain and grass captured in Qinghe, the Qin army's food and clothing problem has been solved, and there is really no need to make a desperate move.

"Thank you for your honor!" Generals Liu Heng and Meng Guan knelt on one knee in front of Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng looked at the towering ice city, and then at the soldiers behind him, whose faces were either young or weathered, "Since the priority is to attack the heart, we should not fight lightly. If we fail to attack, it will only help the morale of the city. Sima Yan is the turtle in the jar."

, stay up for a few more days!”

Most people are reluctant to part with their fields, houses and domestic slaves, and still want to maintain the status quo.

Facing this severe cold that had not been seen in more than ten years, Yang Zheng refused to retreat and came up with a solution. The outcome of this war was no longer in suspense.

With such a formation, how could the city not know what was happening?

The reinforcements from Yecheng were cut off.

Yang Zheng's eyes fell on those scribes.

"Haha, Yecheng can be destroyed!" Wei Guan twirled his beard and smiled.

Yang Zheng was shocked. It seemed that this battle was not going to be easy. "Come here, please quickly heal General Liu and the injured soldiers."

Only he could temporarily stabilize the soldiers' emotions.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the camp came out and lined up within a stone's throw of the city.

The entire Qin army camp came to life and dressed up neatly under the orders of the superior officer.

The soldiers repeated it so that everyone above and below the city could hear.

"Listen to the Jin army in the city. The Xianbei people have been defeated. The Wu army has lost ground in advance and retreat. The destiny of the Qin Dynasty has been returned. The evils of the Sima family are too numerous to be described. Your Majesty will only punish the first culprits and ignore the rest. You can force the Sima family thieves to open the city and surrender. No.

If you lose the title of marquis, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!" More than a thousand personal guards shouted from the city.

"Qinghe Cui's reputation is well-deserved!" Yang Zheng somewhat admired their eyesight.

The Jin army on the city wall was swaying, as if they could not bear the cold wind, and they seemed to be shaken by the Qin army's majesty.

Faintly, a man could be seen looking at his toothbrush at the top of the city.

Yang Zheng looked calmly in the direction of the man and shouted: "Sima Yan, your days are numbered!"

The soldiers repeated loudly.

It seemed that the man's body was shaking...
Chapter completed!
