contend

Chapter 105
The turmoil of the Qiang people was like a stone thrown into the lake, which immediately set off ripples in Longyou.

Longxi has Yang Zheng and Xia Houba actively defending, but they can suppress it.

In Nan'an County, there is Deng Ai, a great god, who is as calm as water.

But the three armies of Tianshui, Anding, and Jincheng are like a sieve, and the Qiang people rely on the mountains to invade continuously.

It seems to repeat the battle of Han and Qiang.

In particular, Jincheng County has become the hardest hit area.

Zhang Jiu, who was famous in the Western Regions in the past, is already very old at this time. It is said that he is bedridden and unable to control his diet.

Jincheng's terrain is the most complicated among the Longyou counties, and it has suffered the most harassment.

The Qiang Hus seem to have found a breakthrough, and the movement in Jincheng is getting bigger and bigger.

Jincheng is the Lanzhou of later generations.

Since the Han and Qiang Wars, it has been the hardest hit area.

In the fourth year of Emperor Yongchu of Emperor Han'an of the Qiang Dynasty, the Western Qiang rebelled, Jincheng County fell, and Yongliang was shaken. The general Deng Zhi thought that occupying Liangzhou was not worth the loss, and wanted to abandon Liangzhou. The Han court agreed with it.

Yu Xu, who was a doctor at the time, resisted all opinions and believed that if Liangzhou was not there, Sanfu would be a frontier fortress, and Guanzhong would not exist!

The Han court adopted Yu Xu's suggestion and made Baoliang Prefecture a national policy.

Judging from the current background of Qiang and Hu joining forces, Jincheng is the key place.

If it falls to the enemy, the Qiang, Hu, Xianbei, and Huns will become one.

Guo Huai, who was stationed at Shangyu, arrived in Yuzhong, and the momentum of the Qiang people immediately faded by half.

Xiahouba also arrived at Taoyang from Didao to defend against the Qiang people in the southwest.

Two generals, one in Jincheng and the other in Longxi, the Qiang chaos finally subsided a little.

"All counties are in chaos, but only Xiping County is not. Could it be that there is fraud in it?"

In Taoyang City, Yang Zheng spoke to Xiahouba.

What is real is empty, and what is empty is real.

Xiping County is the core area of ​​Huangshui River Valley.

It borders the West Sea in the west, Jincheng in the east and Zhangye in the north.

It makes no sense that Jincheng County, which is farther away, is in chaos, while Xiping County is as stable as Mount Tai.

Guo Jian, the prefect of Xiping, is not good at military strategy, but because the Empress Dowager Guo is so favored by Emperor Ming, she is full of honors and honors. His uncle Guo Man is the Marquis of the Western Capital, his father Guo Li is General Xuande and Liehou, and his brother Guo De is Pingyuan. Hou, descended from the Zhen family.

Xia Houba glanced at Yang Zheng, "Do you know why Guo Huai stationed troops in Yuzhong instead of attacking?"

"Why?" Yang Zheng really didn't understand.

Guo Huai holds [-] elite troops in his hands, and with one military order, he can gather all the Wei troops in Longxi, Anding, Nan'an, Jincheng, and Xiping.

Not to mention quelling the Qiang rebellion, it is enough to attack Daym Valley.

Xiahou Ba said: "When the first emperor passed away, he entrusted himself to the general and the grand tutor. However, there is another sentence after the decree, and the important matter of seizing should be consulted with the empress dowager before implementation!"

Yang Zheng took a breath.

I only know that Cao Shuang and Sima Yi are fighting for power today, but in fact Cao Wei is also a three-legged rivalry.

Think about it too, if Emperor Wei Ming hadn't been addicted to enjoyment in the later period, he could barely be regarded as a generation of hero, how could it be possible for the power to be in the hands of outsiders?
On the surface, Sima Yi is old and his time is running out. Cao Shuang is his close friend, and the officials from all over the world have enjoyed the grace of the country for generations and are loyal to Cao Wei.

On the outside, there are Cao Shuang and Sima Yi's heroes fighting, and on the inside, there are relatives of the Empress Dowager Guo at the helm.

The triangular framework designed is also quite reasonable, and it is several times higher than the political tradition of the Eastern Han Dynasty when foreign relatives were in power.

No matter how you look at it, Cao Wei has no possibility of capsizing.

Yang Zheng suddenly remembered that the Gaopingling coup was successful because Sima Yi used the banner of Queen Mother Guo to appease Luoyang first, and then disintegrated Cao Shuang's subordinates.

All external struggles are a continuation of internal struggles.

This was the case in the previous war against Shu.

This is not the case now.

"Could it be that the Sima family wants to take advantage of the Qiang rebellion to suppress their relatives?" Yang Zheng asked in surprise.

Xia Houba sighed, "You guessed half right."

Yang Zheng was taken aback.

Xia Houba took out a piece of silk and handed it to Yang Zheng.

There are only four words on it: stand still.

There is also a private seal with the word "Cao"...

You don't need to think about it to know that this is Cao Shuang's letter.

In other words, Cao Shuang and Sima Shi beat the Queen Mother's line together.

Queen Mother Guo unknowingly became the common enemy of Cao Shuang and Sima.

Yang Zheng has mixed feelings in his heart, and the interests of factions are overriding the interests of the country.

This may be the chronic disease of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Wasn't it the same when Sima Yi planned to kill Zhang He?
Xia Houba threw the silk into the stove, the fire was booming, and a wisp of blue smoke rose, and the golden-red fire shadow was reflected in his eyes, "You only need to know about this matter, don't spread it to outsiders, keep it safe, For other matters, the imperial court... makes its own decisions."

"Yes." Yang Zheng was very grateful to Xia Houba.

This kind of thing is said to himself, which also shows the weight of himself in his heart.

Now that the above has something to say, Yang Zheng retreated to Fanghan and guarded his one-acre three-point land.

Mobilize manpower and build Wubao.

It is quite convenient to cut wood and carry stones from Jishi Mountain and go down the river.

Take

The ordnance in the iron workshop is also barely self-sufficient.

It is more than enough to equip three thousand regular soldiers, and the rest are young and strong ready to farm.

Of course, the private camp is not just for the people. After the spring plowing is over, there will be emergency training.

The strength is not much weaker than that of Zhengbing.

Providing two meals a day eliminated most of the complaints.

During the rigorous training, many brave men emerged.

Guanlong has many elite soldiers since ancient times.

Yang Zheng selected 200 of his elite and expanded them into the Qiang and Jian camps.

Feng Qi is so powerful that at this moment, he dared to send more than 100 Liangzhou horses to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng was so frightened that he closed the gates of the city of Fanghan.

Fatty Feng laughed loudly: "It's okay, it's okay."

He wasn't afraid, but Yang Zheng was so scared to death that he suspected that this guy was just looking for trouble for him.

Guo Huai was on top of his head, and Xia Houba was not far beside him.

"Yongliang will have something to do. I want to go south and bring two pieces of Shu brocade to brother Yang." Feng Qi said carelessly.

Going south?

This guy is going to enter Shu.

The business is quite big.

Yang Zheng's heart moved, wouldn't it be a pity to use such a ready-made door?
"Brother Feng's fortune also happens to make my brother rich."

Feng Qi narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Brother Yang also has thoughts?"

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "A certain caravan has also been formed, and I hope that Brother Feng will support and guide you, and recommend it."

It is not a bad thing to learn more about the situation in Shu.

The light in Feng Qi's eyes flickered, "As expected of Brother Yang, he has vision and courage, but..."

"Brother Feng, don't worry, this is a small business, and it doesn't conflict with your big business. After the matter is completed, [-]% will go to Brother Feng, as a token of my heart." Yang Zheng said very warmly.

When doing business, one needs to communicate with each other. The Qiang horse hide in Yang Zheng's hand can also be exchanged for some urgently needed things.

"Thirty percent." Feng Qi stretched out three fingers.

Yang Zheng wanted to strangle him to death. He was so fat and ate so much, so he wasn't afraid of being stuffed to death.

But the channel is in his hands, so naturally he has the final say.

He is willing to cooperate and has already given a lot of face.

Yang Zheng nodded with a half smile.
