Chapter 465: Chicken Ribs
On the land of Guanzhong, a long dragon winds to the west.
The howling cold wind made their faces look even more numb.
Only when he saw the meat porridge did he have a hint of expression on his numb face.
Horses are war horses collected on the battlefield, and porridge is Liangzhou military food.
Many young children got into ox carts and horse-drawn carts and squeaked westward.
"When you arrive in Liangzhou, you will have a new home, there will be no more wars, no more hunger and cold, and everyone will be fed!" Xuan Yilang and Xuan Yipeng shouted in the crowd.
But with little effect, the bloody battle in Chang'an seemed to have robbed them of their souls and turned them into walking corpses.
Many people don't believe in such good things anymore.
Because Sima Fu promised them the same at the beginning.
"As long as you keep Chang'an, the general will reward you with food, money, and land......"
And when the city ran out of food, the knife slashed at them.
No one wants to leave their hometown and go to the bitterly cold Liangzhou.
It's just that when the bloody long knife rests on their necks, they have to compromise.
Fortunately, there is a supply of meat porridge along the way, and when people eat meat, their bodies will become hot, their legs and feet will be strong, and they will not be so afraid of the cold.
Yang Zheng stood on the city wall of Chang'an, looking at the long dragon winding westward, and when he was in a trance, Meng Guanyu reported: "Junhou, the thirty-one generals and colonels of the Chinese army are in tandem, coercing the soldiers, and want to escape back to Luoyang. ”
"Do what you need to do, don't be soft." Yang Zheng said.
Pang Hui and Xu Yi on the side trembled.
"Prince, the soldiers miss their homeland, and the lake is ...... for a while" Xu Yi arched his hand and looked at Pang Hui, but Pang Hui did not move.
Yang Zheng said with a smile: "I gave them a chance, as long as they are in Liangzhou Tuntian for five years, they will be released to return to their hometown, and they can't afford to wait for five years, which shows that these people refuse to give me a chance, and those who make trouble will be punished by military law." ”
"Yui!" Meng Guan picked up the knife and left.
After a short time, more than 300 human heads hung on the city wall of Chang'an.
The captives in the city immediately became much more obedient.
Bury the corpses, sweep the city, and strengthen the walls.
And Yang Zheng didn't treat them badly, at least let them fill their stomachs.
However, another problem gradually became serious, and after receiving 200,000 people and nearly 30,000 surrendered troops, there was a shortage of food and grass.
200,000 people moved westward, and their consumption of grain increased.
There are also more than 60,000 war horses and livestock, and the consumption of forage and fine materials is also extremely terrifying.
If it weren't for the 50,000 stone of grain seized on Lishan, Yang Zheng would have to tighten his belt.
Rao is like this, and it won't last long.
Lu Zhi of Tianshui and Du Pre of Guzang all sent letters to return to the army as soon as possible.
With a population of 200,000 and an army of 30,000, it is still a heavy burden at present, and the pressure on Liangzhou's food is extremely great.
In the past, when there was no one, there was a lot of pressure, but now with such a large population, the pressure is still very high.
230,000 people is 230,000 bottomless pits.
Yang Zheng then ordered Meng Yu, Zhou Zhi and others to escort the captives back to the army in turn.
Six or seven days later, just half of the people left, news came from Luoyang.
Sima Zhao took Zhong Hui as the general of the expedition to the west, the governor of Guanzhong, and Yanghu, Wang Hun, and Wang Jun as the deputies, gathered 40,000 Chinese troops and rushed to Guanzhong again.
"Well done! Our army can take advantage of the power of a great victory and eat Sima Zhao 40,000 people! Liu Heng smiled with his mouth wide open.
If it were someone else, Yang Zheng would also have this thought.
But it was Zhonghui and Yanghu who came, so they had to weigh it carefully.
Wang Hun and Wang Jun are not ordinary figures, they are the generals who destroyed Wu in history.
Although their own side captured Chang'an, it was also a bloody battle and a big battle, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted.
And it's the end of the year, and the soldiers have been fighting for months, eager to be reunited with their families.
Even if Yang Zheng wants to fight again, the grain and grass have already supported it.
"Our army captured Chang'an, killed Sima Fu and Wang Ji, and captured more than 200,000 people, which is enough to shock the world. Zhang Te admonished.
"Zhong Hui marched into the army at this time, probably to see that our army was not caught, and stepped up the transportation of civilians and prisoners back to Liangzhou." Yang Zheng agreed with Zhang Te's opinion.
Small kiosk
Zhong Hui came very quickly, and three days after receiving the news, the army had already entered Guanzhong.
The advance arrived in Zheng County, and Sima Ban's cavalry raided Lantian.
There were not many defenders in these two cities, and it was impossible for Yang Zheng to invest in the army to defend them.
Five days later, Zhong Hui joined Sima Gan, Sima Liang and other armies in Zheng County.
The last group of civilian prisoners in Chang'an were transferred.
There were only 10,000 soldiers of Zhang Te's government and 15,000 of Yang Zheng's troops left in the city.
"Please return to Guzang, there are subordinates in Chang'an, and they are solid!" Zhang Tedao.
Yang Zheng spent the whole day inspecting the barracks yesterday.
Not only are the pro-army a little tired, but the government soldiers are also deeply tired, whispering, and longing for their families.
In this case, forcing a big war will only increase the war-weariness of the soldiers.
The so-called military strategy is nothing more than taking advantage of the trend.
Now, the strength of the Liangzhou army has been exhausted, and the enemy is fierce.
Of course, Zhang Te's ability is doubtful.
But the question is whether it is worth fighting with the Zhonghui army here repeatedly.
The war is protracted, when the war will end, and how it will end, it is not up to you to have the final say, and it will become Zhonghui besieging the city to send reinforcements.
"Report, the enemy has a letter to shoot in." A Xuanyi Lang came with a silk in his hand.
I just got the news that Zhong Hui is still in Zheng County, so he rushed to Chang'an City so quickly?
Yang Zheng was shocked in his heart, opened the silk, and there were several columns of big characters on it, "Chang'an is a lonely city, like chicken ribs, there are Shu people in the south, and our army in the east. ”
Just two words, Zhong Hui.
Omit all names.
Yang Zheng laughed, Zhang Te can hold Chang'an, but he needs a steady stream of resources from Liangzhou, which is to fight Liangzhou with the Central Plains.
can break through Chang'an, kill Sima Fu and Wang Ji, more or less with the assistance of God.
But to count on God every day is that you are wrong.
That's how Zhuge died.
Once Zhonghui's 40,000 army surrounds Chang'an, if he comes to the rescue, Sima Zhao will definitely come to the aid of the army.
It's not worth fighting like this.
Zhong Hui's sentence of "chicken ribs" is quite appropriate.
"Chang'an chicken ribs, an empty city, you might as well throw it to Zhonghui!" Yang Zheng said.
"Just give it back to them?" Liu Heng's eyes widened.
Zhang Te also felt a pity.
Yang Zheng's ghost blurted out the gods: "If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If you save people and lose land, you will gain all people. Give it to them this time, and take it again next time. ”
Zhang Te was thoughtful.
Liu Heng touched his head, "Whatever the prince says, it's what it is." ”
Yang Zheng laughed, "Give Chang'an to them, they will pour their national strength, and the 40,000 army will always have to eat and drink, right?" As soon as the food and population come, our army will plunder again. ”
Using Chang'an as a grinding plate, it is not to grind yourself, but to grind Sima Zhao.
When the news came out, the soldiers were really relieved and packed their bags happily.
