Chapter 729: Yingchuan

"Anton generals Sima Tai and Xuchang ordered Wang Shen to strictly guard the city, and the walls were clear, and our army had no gaps to take advantage of." Zhou Zhi looked worried.

Sima Tai is the second son of Sima Yi's fourth brother Sima Kui, who is honest by nature, not close to women, not fun, and modest, but he has no particularly outstanding political achievements.

In Sima's family, he can be regarded as a capable character.

At least much stronger than Sima Ling, Sima Wei, and Sima Lun.

Sima Jun supervised the town of Huaibei, and Sima Tai was appointed as the general of Andong to guard Xuchang, a key place in the Central Plains.

As for Wang Shen, after betraying Cao Chao, he was originally also reused to supervise Yangzhou, but he did not perform well in the Battle of Huainan and was defeated by Zhonghui and demoted to Xuchang Ling.

】

"How much grain and grass are left?" Du asked pre-asked.

The main bookkeeper Zhang Yan said: "There are only six days of food......

The situation is already very dangerous.

Sima Tai and Wang Shen were mediocre, defending the fortified city, but they were also invulnerable.

The food of the Qin army was originally enough, but it was a little stretched to help the people along the way.

There was ripe grain in the field, but Du Yu ordered that it should not be harvested.

"Six days is enough!" Du Pre's face was pale.

Zhou Zhi swallowed his saliva, "Governor, Xuchang is a strong city, and I am only afraid of ...... for six days."

"The art of war has clouds, go out of its way, and attack it will be saved! With the solidity of Xuchang, the 100,000 army cannot be taken, but this is Yingchuan, will the scholars in Xuchang City sit back and watch the manor be destroyed? Du pre-smiled.

In the seventeenth year of Qin Shi Huang, Nei Shi Teng attacked Han, got Han Wang An, took all his land, took his land as a county, and ordered Yingchuan.

It has jurisdiction over Xuxian, Yangzhai, Changshe, Yanling, Xiangcheng and other counties.

Since its establishment, it has been the most prosperous place outside of Gyeonggi.

Wei Wu moved the capital to Xuchang, which also made the Yingchuan Shi clan a force that could not be ignored since the Han and Wei dynasties.

If Du pre-raided their hometown, the shock caused can be imagined.

Zhou Zhi frowned and said: "Every family in the Yingchuan clan has a strong city, a dock fort, a tribe, and a young man, but I am afraid it will be difficult to take it. ”

Du Yu laughed, "General Zhou will be a national general in the future, and he can't just care about military affairs. ”

Zhou Zhi was stunned, Du Pre was in his mind, and he was also a teacher, a friend and a brother.

This sentence made him fall into deep thought.

Daqin did not build a country, so it was enough to cut people if he was beaten by Mengchong.

But now it is not what it used to be, and the most that has military exploits is a tiger general, the founding county marquis, and if you want to go further, you need a very high political consciousness, and you must not be able to cut people.

This is one of the potential rules in any era.

"Pass the order, make a big fanfare, and release the news that our army is running out of food, and will loot Yingchuan, and then order the soldiers to build trebuchets." Du pre-waved his hand.

"Don't do it, because the enemy knows that I have run out of food, if I come to rob the camp, won't I be in chaos?" Zhang Yan exclaimed.

Some people's qualifications can only go so far.

Du Pre-Gentle and Calm gaze turned to Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi has always been brave and strategic, bold and careful, and the difference is the master's point, "The last general understands, if Wang Shen and Sima Tai dare to come to rob the camp, it is the plan of the governor of the capital, our army will wait for work, if it can inflict heavy damage on the enemy, it can take advantage of the victory and take Xuchang!" If the enemy does not come, our army will plunder Yingchuan in the open! ”

The Qin army plundered and was famous all over the world.

Yang Zheng actually started by looting.

The Qiang, Di, and Jia under his command are even better hands, and they will never be merciful when they grab things.

Du Yu nodded, "You are half right, in the early years, I talked with Your Majesty about the general trend of the world, Your Majesty has amazing words, war is the continuation of politics, and politics can also be a means of war, it is related to your own vital interests, will the Yingchuan clan have the same heart as the Sima family?" ”

Sima Yi used the influence of the Yingchuan clan to point to Luoshui as an oath and steal the power of Cao Wei.

Sima Shi also reused the Yingchuan Shi clan.

But when it came to Sima Zhao and Sima Yan, father and son, the situation gradually changed.

began to use a large number of Hebei and Shandong scholars to balance the Yingchuan scholars.

Langya Wang, Taishan Goat, Bingzhou Wang, Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui and so on.

After Chen Tai, Zhong Yu and others passed away one after another, Zhong Hui was in turmoil, and only the Xun clan was left to support the faΓ§ade of the Yingchuan clan.

Sima Yan even used Shi Jian, He Zeng and other famous scholars, as well as Zhang Hua and others from a poor family, which further weakened the influence of the Shangyingchuan scholars in the Luoyang court.

Why can't Zhong Hui be calm?

Part of the reason is that Zhong Hui does have some skills, and on the other hand, the Yingchuan Shi clan does not want Zhong Hui to fall.

The doorway of this, Zhou Zhi, who was born in the Shu clan, is naturally difficult to understand.

However, with Du Pre's order, Zhou Zhi quickly understood.

The scholars have always put the family before the country, giving priority to the interests of the family.

"So the governor is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" Zhou Zhi arched his hand.

"Yes, whether Xuchang can win it or not depends on whether the Yingchuan clan is worthy or not!" Du Yu advanced all the way, and it didn't hurt to Qiu, it was to show the Yingchuan clan that he was a person who abided by the rules and a person who could talk.

The Qin army stationed under the city of Xuchang spread rumors with great fanfare.

With the cooperation of the fine work, within two days, the news spread throughout Yingchuan.

Wang Shen was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, Sima Tai is a member of the Sima family, of course, he will not play for the Yingchuan clan, let alone see Du Xuan's far-sightedness.

Still can't shrink out.

The bandits and homeless people in the nearby mountains also joined the Qin army, waving their flags and shouting to stir up the momentum.

The Qin army may not be able to capture Xuchang, but it is easy to sweep away a few powerful manors, and the nobles can hide in the dock fort, but their soon-to-mature grain can't also hide in it, right?

Soon, there were more and more mysterious people coming from all over Yingchuan.

Du Yu met and talked secretly one by one, and no one knew what they were talking about.

On such occasions, Zhou Zhi was also not qualified to observe.

In the next few days, truckloads of grain and grass were pushed into the Qin army's camp, which made the chief bookkeeper Zhang Yan's jaw drop in shock......

Not only food, but also ordnance, pigs and sheep.

Du pre-feasted the soldiers, "The soldiers have traveled thousands of miles, if they don't have the size of the merit, what face do they have to return to Guanzhong?" ”

A spark suddenly appeared in the eyes of the general.

The thirst for military exploits has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

To be able to become a Chinese army, of course, is a warrior of all ethnic groups, extremely warlike.

"Xuchang is right in front of you, how can you care?" Du Yu said every word very gently, but every word entered their hearts.

"May the governor break through this city!"

"Well, after the city is broken, restrain the soldiers and not kill the defenseless people, especially those with yellow silk tied to the lintel! Remember, otherwise Hugh blames a certain military law for being ruthless! Du Yu said with a rare murderous spirit.

"Yui!"

The drums of war rumbled, and more than a dozen trebuchets were pushed under the city.

Compared with the vast Xuchang City, these dozen catapults are really thin.

Even the 20,000 Qin army looked extremely thin.

Zhou Zhi looked at Xuchang, but there was no doubt in his heart, and he laughed at the armor soldiers beside him: "This city will be broken today, and you can take the first place!" ”

After that, he rushed to the forefront with his sword and shield......
