Sima Yi had already seen that nine times out of ten, these trenches were dug to allow the infantry to quickly approach the city walls during the siege.

With the cover of these trenches, the bows and crossbows of the Wei army must have been greatly reduced, and the crossbow arrows, soldiers, and food of the Han army were also very well advanced close to the city wall.

At that time, under the cover of Xiangyang artillery, they will soon be able to fill the moat and launch a general attack on Chang'an.

He knew that Jiang Ji must have seen it, but neither of the two was clever enough to expose it, so as not to put more pressure on the defenders in the city.

It seems that the Han army wants to pull out Chang'an before the reinforcements arrive, others can't, but Zhao Hao really has such a ability.

Cao Pi was determined to fight to the death with Zhao Hao in Chang'an, so that Cao Wei lost the last room for maneuver, if he did not win, it would be a terrible end of collapse.

Zhong Xuan was already an unstable factor, so after thinking about it, Sima Yi decided to let him lead the troops to attack and explore the true skills of the Han army first.

Zhong Miao agreed stubbornly, he couldn't help but agree, because his reputation was extremely high, and he had been organizing the Qingliu Gate Valve in Guanzhong to provide support to Cao Wei and fight against Zhao Hao together.

These wealthy families are the natural supporters of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and they hate Zhao Hao who invaded by force, so they naturally have to deal with it quickly.

For the sake of their interests, Zhong Xuan can't defect on the spot, he has to concentrate twelve points of energy to compete with Zhao Hao.

Of course, sending troops is not a trip to go, when Zhong Miao was pondering tactics and anxious about the sons and daughters of the family everywhere, Zhao Hao had already started.

In addition to Ding Feng continuing to maintain the siege of Chang'an, Zhao Hao personally led Guan Yinping, Xiang Lang, and Lü Yi to storm the Wei army strongholds around Chang'an.

After clearing the stubborn enemy, Chang'an was completely surrounded by Zhao Hao, and now if Cao Pi decides to break through, he can still have a chance to escape, but Wei Yan also immediately launched an eastward crusade, preparing to cut off all the passages for Cao Pi to retreat to the Central Plains one by one.

Cao Pi, Cao Pi, it's really hard for you to fly this time.

In Zhao Hao's impression, Cao Pi was a very screwed emperor with a weak sense of existence, this person may be more suitable to be a literati than a ruler, although there are no major strategic mistakes, but he has put the Wei State into the hands of the wealthy family, leaving a huge hidden danger for the future collapse.

Deduct this, Cao Pi has done a very good job in resuming production and maintaining stability, and he can be regarded as a good emperor, if he is not standing on the opposite side of history, his personality charm should be stronger than Liu Chan in history.

But now, Zhao Hao must eliminate him, after all, there are no two days in the country, and the world must always pursue an orthodoxy, since Cao Pi wants to fight to the death in order to maintain his dignity, then fight to the death with him!

A few days later, Zhong Miao led 10,000 Wei troops to suddenly attack, and launched a fierce attack on Ding Feng through the south gate without a trench, Ding Feng waved his army to resist, and both armies paid a certain amount of casualties.

In order to dispel Sima Yi's suspicions about himself, Zhong Xuan openly called for a death war with the Han army in the city, not to maintain the national unity of Wei, but to maintain the dignity of Confucianism.

Zhong Xuan warned those wealthy families that if Zhao Hao broke the city, they would be devastated, so those who should contribute must pay, and those who should contribute must contribute.

He thought that he had his own warning, coupled with Zhao Hao's style of breaking the family and eating big households, these wealthy families should go out to actively assist the Wei army in the war and give money to people.

But I didn't expect almost all the families to say the same thing-

"Yuan Changgong, you also know that the harvest in previous years was not good, and this year's autumn harvest finally had a bite to eat, and the sons and daughters are hungry and afraid, if they are strong, they are afraid that they will arouse resentment!"

"Yuan Changgong, this year's trade routes to the Western Regions have been cut off by Shu Kou, and our family has encountered thieves again, and there is really no money left in the family."

"Yuan Changgong, my eldest Lang is already a captain in the army, Erlang is not in good health, and Sanlang is still young, so he really can't go to the battlefield!"

Under the repeated urging of Zhong Xuan, they took out a lost copper coin as military expenses, and the bitter look made people think that Zhong Xuan had just fed them something unclean.

"Ridiculous, really ridiculous, that Zhao Hao is cruel and unkind, the world knows how many gentlemen's families in Shangqi and Ji County have been killed by broken families,

If you keep all this money and food, will you still be able to give birth and raise it? If there is no such military resources, how can they fight to the death with the Han army? ”

Facts have proved that the more gentlemanly and righteous people who do not value money, the more they have little resistance to money, and at the critical moment, all the wealthy families in Chang'an City have a fluke heart-

Why do you want our family to destroy our family and relieve the difficulties, if the Shu army can't get in, isn't this money spent in vain?

When the news reached Zhao Hao's ears through the school incident, Zhao Hao was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"Go, tell the people in the city, after the city is broken, only Cao Wei will be punished, all the wealthy clans, as long as they have not fought against the heavenly soldiers, they can face death, but if there is a thief, they will not be forgiven!"

Guan Yinping's eyes widened, and he said: "Zixuan, why bother, we are about to break the city now, spare these people, how can we reward the soldiers who are fighting?" ”

"Hey, who said that they would be spared, I only said that those who do not fight our army can avoid death, but they refuse to hand over all their family's money and food, that is to fight against our army,

When the time comes for the knife to rest on their necks, they will naturally do something that should be done. ”

Zhao Hao smiled like a hungry wolf wagging his tail, looking at Xiang Lang and Lu Yi a little nervously, speaking of which, they are also a wealthy family, and they are naturally Zhao Hao's enemies.

But since following Zhao Hao, both of them feel that Zhao Hao is almost invincible, and even a little action is likely to be discovered by Zhao Hao, this guy is as powerful as the help of heaven and man, and even makes people feel that he can make all the conspiracies and tricks disappear as long as he blows lightly.

Since he can't defeat Zhao Hao, he can only fight for a little more space for his class in front of him.

Xiang Lang took the initiative to speak: "Champion Hou, my subordinates think that these wealthy families have the essence of the world, if they are killed with a stick, it will be difficult to keep the people warm after they dominate the country, so it is better to slowly figure it out-

There will eventually be children of those clans who are willing to take the imperial examination, teach them to enter the court through the imperial examination, and then encourage the poor to go out of the house, so that the world can be peaceful. ”

Now the Han army is full of confidence in defeating Cao Wei, and everyone has begun to think about how to rebuild a perfect Han country in the future.

Immediately able to conquer the world, but immediately unable to govern the world, Xiang Lang vaguely told Zhao Hao that if he hacked those wealthy families to death with a knife, the world would eventually be in chaos again, and when the time came, he would put out fires everywhere, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to return the peace of the world.

"That's right, so we still have a long way to go in our literacy work."

Before the advent of private schools, knowledge was only in the hands of a few people, and Zhao Hao didn't expect him to raise his arms, and the illiteracy rate in the world dropped significantly.

He just hopes that in the initial power struggle, there will be forces outside the clan to participate in it, and there will be some new forces above the court regardless of the family.

For example, the children of businessmen, they have the family conditions that are not lost to the family, what they lack is the so-called family atmosphere, and after breaking through Chang'an, he will let more businessmen participate in the distribution of the power cake, and make their own endorsements, which will definitely make the sprout of capital begin to sprout slowly in the land of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.

Xiang Lang thought that he had made Zhao Hao change his mind, and he was very proud in his heart, and he said in his heart that when he went back, he must tell Lu Yusheng, who was compiling the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that he would have his own stroke in the future history.

Lu Yi's thinking was more long-term, he held his head and said: "Champion Hou, my subordinates are worried about one thing, you said that after Cao Wei transferred the army from the north, will those Xianbei people like tigers and wolves take the opportunity to go south?

We defeated Cao Wei, but let in those jackals, which was really uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Hao nodded solemnly and said, "This matter is not impossible, I want to hear Ji Yang's high opinion." ”

"Gao Jian didn't dare, but his subordinates have been thinking repeatedly these days, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I have been fighting with the Huns, the Huns have not been destroyed, and Tanshi Huai has risen in Xianbei,

Now after the war with Cao Wei, I am afraid that Xianbei will invade Jizhou and Merge Prefecture again, and become a strong enemy of my Han Dynasty.

At that time, Huo Hussar was invincible, chased the Huns to the outside of the Saiwai, and sealed the wolf Juxu, what a glory it was, but a few years later, the Huns came again, and still attacked our land.

The subordinates are stupid, and they want to ask the champion Hou if there is a way to completely eliminate the thieves and return the north to the age of peace. ”

Xiang Lang was a little annoyed, he didn't know what Lu Yi was doing when he asked about this kind of thing, but Guan Yinping was very interested in this topic, and couldn't help but move to Zhao Hao's side.

Zhao Hao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is possible, the Huns can let go of the horses, but my Han people can't let go of the horses?" When the world is unified, I will continue to lead the northern expedition and include all the north and south of the desert in the Han land. ”

Lu Yi shook his head a little disappointed.

Zhao Hao's idea has not been tried by no one in history, but the output of one acre of land can feed a family, but one acre of grassland can't carry many cattle and sheep.

Those Huns continued to invade the south, and they also took a fancy to the flower world of the Central Plains.

The people of the Han Dynasty who forcibly moved to the desert will eventually come back because of hardship, and it will be a dead end after all.

"Don't worry, not this time."

Zhao Hao pulled a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, which only briefly described the rivers and mountains of the Han family according to the map of the Yugong region, and replaced the description of the desert with pieces of nothingness.

Zhao Hao pointed to it and said: "Although the desert and grassland can't carry too many people, the world further north and west can."

If we can defeat Cao Pi as soon as possible and restore the world to life, we can continue to go north and west, and when we have better shipbuilding capabilities, we can also move east.

In this world, not only these on Yu Gong, with our sword as a plow, we can get a greater living space for the people of the world, when the time comes, the Huns, Xianbei or not, why bother to rob frequently for the sake of hunger,

After all, this person always wants to be comfortable, and if he can rely on farming to make a living, no one will risk his life to be a thief. ”

Zhao Hao's words surprised Lu Yi slightly, although he didn't quite believe what Zhao Hao said, Lu Yi still nodded firmly.

"If the champion Hou has the Northern Expedition Day, he will definitely follow, and I also want to see what the world is like that is further north than Wolf Juxu!"
