"More than a hundred houses were burned in Yangyi City, and there were more than 1000 surrendered soldiers, most of whom were Jin troops who had surrendered to the city before." After only staying for two days, Yiyan led his troops back and brought back the captured surrendered soldiers.Ge Hong and a thousand soldiers were stationed in Yangyi City.

"Are there any generals in the surrender?" Liang Feng frowned.He had also heard from Linghu Kuang before that those who surrendered were generals from noble clans. If these duplicitous guys were kept, they might cause trouble.

"Before the siege, there was a rebellion in Yangyi, and those people were all killed by the Huns." This is the most official statement, but in fact, it was the decision made by Ge Hong and him.Soldiers can stay, but generals who surrender are unreliable.In case of encountering the enemy again and going to sacrifice the city again, it is really impossible to guard against.

As soon as Liang Feng heard this, he knew it was the inside story, so he couldn't help but let go: "That's good. It's just a city in Yangyi, and it's not easy to defend now. Is there enough food and grass in the city?"

Yangyi is now in the enemy-occupied area. Although there is still a county under the rule, if you want to farm under the eyes of the enemy, I am afraid there is no hope, and you can only rely on supplies to survive.To really restore the county government, we have to wait for the Huns to retreat.

"The grain and grass were burned in the flames of war, but it is still sufficient." Yi Yan replied.

"That's good." Liang Feng was the only one thinking, and said to Duan Qin beside him, "I will send General Linghu to report to Jinyang later. We must open the channel as soon as possible and get in touch with Jinyang."

This is a matter of urgency.Even if Sima Teng left Bingzhou, the government office and camp of this state would still be in Jinyang.Only by getting through the news network as soon as possible and getting in touch with the defenders in the city will it be convenient to act later.This task was best suited to Linghu Kuang, who was born in a powerful family in Bingzhou.

Duan Qin thought clearly, and nodded immediately: "My lord, don't worry, now he is General Linghu's uncle Congshu who is stationed in Jinyang. But in this way, the news of victory will also be reported to Lord Dongying."

Such a big event, you can't hide it even if you want to.Liang Feng frowned: "Why didn't you tell the imperial court about such a big victory? It's just that the battle in Chang'an is fierce, and Duke Dongying may not return to Bingzhou."

He only won one battle, so maybe he will face another situation.Even if Sima Teng had the guts to grow up again, he might not come back.But it won't be a battle, how many times will it be won?Once Bingzhou settles down, I'm afraid someone will come to pick peaches immediately.

This is simply a difficult problem to solve.Liu Yuan is naturally an enemy, and Sima may not necessarily be a friend.Coupled with such a strange case of a solar eclipse, his life may be even more difficult.

But after everything has been done, Liang Feng will not be entangled now. The more important question is, has this battle achieved the expected goal?

"In addition to the first wave of reinforcements, did the Xiongnu send troops?" Liang Feng asked.

"Never!" Yi Yan answered bluntly, "Only a few teams of sentries came. Even the army that was approaching before retreated ten miles, so they probably won't attack the city again."

Another solar eclipse, another thunderstorm, enough to scare any sane person back.This was the result Liang Feng wanted!

"It's so good! The beginning of spring is coming soon, and I ordered the ten counties to whip the spring and start farming! Also, there is too little rain this year, we must pay attention to drought prevention, and we must start killing locusts as soon as possible." This is what he picked out from the hands of the Huns. Time, this year we must collect a few more buckets of grain!

"Spring farming is not a problem, but the military system of Shangdang should also be changed." What Duan Qin is thinking about is not just about farming.

Today, the composition of Shangdang's soldiers is too complicated.A large number of Liang family soldiers were imported into the garrison troops and the imperial army, which not only brought about an increase in combat power, but also institutional chaos.The soldiers of the Liang Mansion enjoy the tax-free military land system, while the generals of the court are paid. How to balance the relationship between the two is a problem.

And with the continuous increase of military power, the number of troops has also changed.Since the Three Kingdoms period, the ranks of generals have tended to overflow. In the Jin Dynasty, the full strength of an army was no more than 500.Now, after several expansions, the battalion weaving set by the Liang Mansion has been restored to the thousand-man weaving in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If it continues to expand, it must become an army.

"Reorganize during the spring plowing period, and implement the system of exempting troops from military service. As for the imperial soldiers under Yiyan, they must also find ways to incorporate them into the system." Liang Feng pondered for a moment, and finally said.

No more wars, just in time to reform the military system.In the future, there will only be more and more people under him, and he can't be particular about it anymore.But speaking of it, he was granted the title of Township Marquis before, and now he won another game, so he might be promoted to County Marquis.It would not be a problem to expand the number of private soldiers under him by [-]%.Even if Sima Teng didn't want to do anything about saving face, he still had to make a show of it.Otherwise, if others are not in Bingzhou, how can we use people to fight?

"Your subordinate understands." Duan Qin said.

With a flick of his fingertips on the table, Liang Feng got up: "Go ahead and do it. You must take good care of the rest and recuperate for the past few months!"

I just hope that those guys surnamed Sima can fight more fiercely, and if they don't have time to make trouble for him.

"Shangdang won a big victory and hid back to Yangyi?" Seeing the Di Bao, Sima Teng couldn't believe his eyes.

When he escaped from Bingzhou, it was not that he didn't see the horror of the Huns' soldiers and horses.How did Liang Zixi win two games in just half a year? !

Now that all the papers asking for merit are sent to the desk, how can such a victory not be rewarded?But rewarded, how could he be content with it!After carefully reading the victory report twice, Sima Teng's complexion became even more serious.How can it be a good omen to raise troops in Zhengdan and catch up with the solar eclipse?

Seeing that Sima Teng's expression was not right, Master Gao hurriedly said: "General, this is a big victory, and not rewarding it will not be enough to calm the army's mind!"

The most irritating thing is exactly this.Sima Teng snorted coldly: "Of course I will be rewarded! I will be promoted and honored, and I will be given money and food! Let the prefect Liang guard Shangdang!"

Director Gao could hear the hidden meaning in these words clearly.It is clear that Liang Zixi is going to turn on the defensive, and he is not allowed to participate in the battle against the Huns at will.With this method, it is not impossible to prevent a capable minister from making meritorious deeds.But the timing always seems a bit inappropriate.

Director Gao hesitated for a moment, but finally did not speak, but said: "Shangdang has few soldiers, so we should stick to it. When the rebellious party in Chang'an is wiped out, Duke Dongying can return to Bingzhou to preside over the overall situation."

This is what Sima Teng loves to hear the most.Looking a little better, he said: "A few days ago, King Hejian sent Zhang Fang's head and wanted to ask for peace, but was rejected by brother. Chang'an won't last long."

This also developed and was closely related to him.Although he escaped from Bingzhou in a hurry, Sima Teng came with his troops. This army immediately revived the already disintegrated Donghai King's camp.Afterwards, all parties fought and provoked. After fighting for several months, the men and horses of King Hejian began to show a tendency to collapse.

Originally there were still [-] troops in Guanzhong, but King Hejian was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he missed the best opportunity to fight, and only let Zhang Fang stick to Bashang.This gave the King of the East China Sea a great opportunity, and Wang Jun sent thousands of Xianbei cavalry to help out, coming and going again and again, which made the King of Hejian even more frightened.

The reason for everything is that Zhang Fang made his own claim and welcomed the emperor into Chang'an.Zhang Fang himself is rebellious and ferocious, and now his power is soaring, he is completely out of control, and the solar eclipse that appeared at Zhengdan made King Hejian even more frightened.So he kept on doing nothing, and he assigned Zhang Fang's former benefactor, Zhi Fu, to go to Zhang Fang's camp and take the head of this ominous god.

Presenting the head in a brocade box, he begged the King of East China Sea for peace.Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of accepting it at all, and instead urged all the troops to march towards Guanzhong.In this way, without the loss of the general and no forgiveness, the King of Hejian is in jeopardy.

For Sima Teng, this is of course excellent news.Considering his contributions in this war, it should be no problem to be crowned king.As long as you fight hard when you finally attack Chang'an, it may not be impossible to take the lead.When the elder brother welcomes the emperor back, he will have the strength to deal with the Huns who are like tigers and wolves in Bingzhou.

Thinking of this, Sima Teng said: "Now that Yangyi has been taken back, order Sima Yu, Zhou Liang, Shi Xian and other troops stationed in Jinyang to attack Lishi again! As long as Lishi can be captured, old Liu Yuan will not be able to make trouble ! There is also Shangdang, who should provide food and fodder for the army!"

This order is extremely shameful.Liang Zixi was not allowed to have access to military exploits, but he was also required to be responsible for the army's retreat.It's really not a good job.But Director Gao knew that this was the result of Sima Teng's patience.Who made Liang Zixi win so easily?Isn't it the face of Dong Yinggong who abandoned the state and fled?

But think about it, the war in Chang'an should not last long.Even so, there is nothing wrong with it.When the king of the East China Sea takes back the emperor, as his younger brother, Duke Dongying, his status will also increase.Withdrawing from Bingzhou this time is really God's will.As for the Shangdang's two victories, in the final analysis, Dong Yinggong appointed people on merit, which is not a bad thing.If you come and go like this, won't you lose all the benefits?

Not daring to be negligent, Master Gao picked up the pen and quickly wrote the document.This order crossed the tens of thousands of troops under the King of the East China Sea and headed towards Shangdang.
