Chapter 134 Infighting
Yang Zheng rushed to Didao to meet Xia Houba.

Fanghan was very miserable, but Xiahouba was even more miserable. Several concubines disappeared.

More than half of the hard-working foundation was pulled out. Guo Huai also wrote to Chang'an and Luoyang in a serious manner, and the Qiang and Hu connected with the people of Shu, which brought heavy disasters to Longxi.

Push the downfall of Longxi to the Shu people.

When Jiang Weinan withdrew, he did relocate many people.

But more were directly moved to Tianshui by Guo Huai.

Xia Houba was sullen for a few days, and that was about it.

After all, his family is in Luoyang, concubine or something, as the governor of Qinzhou, will he lack this in the future?
After reading the Luoyang edict, Xia Houba said: "Zhang has passed away, Zhang Yu should be Ding You, Jincheng prefect has someone else."

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment. In Chang'an, he only thought about Xia Houxuan's daughter, but he forgot that the Han and Wei dynasties emphasized filial piety.

However, in special cases it can be extorted.

It also depends on Zhang Chen's meaning.

Jincheng is behind Xiping and Longyou, and connects the two places. The geographical location is very important.

If someone who shouldn't be released is released in this place, life will be difficult for Xia Houba and Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng vaguely felt that there was something inside.

Sima would not miss such an obvious flaw.

But why would Xia Houxuan ignore it?
After staying in Didao for a few days, news came from Jincheng that Zhang Chen returned to Dunhuang to observe his filial piety for three years on the grounds of Ding You, and the prefect of Jincheng was vacated again.

But within a few days, news came from Chang'an that the imperial court wanted to appoint Wang Jinhu, the third son of Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, as the prefect of Jincheng.

The Wang family of Taiyuan and the Wang family of Langya came from the same lineage.

The Sima family and Cao Shuang competed for power, one was to fight for the power of the court, and the other was to fight for the recognition of the gentry.

However, Wang Ling's qualifications far surpassed Wang Chang's. The siege, the advance and retreat lost ground, Wang Ling desperately broke through and fought hard to make Cao Xiu escape.

In the second year of Zhengshi, during the battle of Shaopi, Wang Ling led his troops to fight against Quan Cong, the governor of the state of Wu. After fighting for several days, he defeated the Wu army and killed more than ten generals of Soochow Wu, including Qin Huang.

For more than twenty years, his prestige in Cao Wei was only lower than Sima Yi's.

The governor of Yangzhou is the most important military town of Cao Wei.

It is also the only force in the army that can compete with Sima Yi.

However, Guo Huai is also Wang Ling's brother-in-law.

Taking Wang Jinhu as the prefect of Jincheng not only wins over Wang Ling, but also balances Guo Huai.

The essence of politics is compromise and balance.

Sima Yi, Cao Shuang, Wang Ling, and Guo Huai are all acceptable to Wang Jinhu as the prefect of Jincheng.

But Xia Houba felt a little uncomfortable.

Because I don't know the details of Wang Jinhu.

And Jincheng has never been under his control.

Now that Longxi is so exhausted, Xiahouba's strength has been greatly weakened.

Yang Zheng said: "Since the general is the governor of Qinzhou, why don't you rule Yunwu?"

Jincheng County was the seat of Yunwu County in the Han Dynasty.

Cao Wei moved to Yuzhong County.

Yunwu, Fanghan and Didao form a triangle, the center of which happens to be Heguan.

This geographical plate was named "Heshou" in the Han Dynasty.

As long as this pass of the Yellow River is under control, Yunwu, Fanghan, and Didao will become one.

It not only enhanced Xiahouba's strength, used Jincheng to restore Longxi's strength, but also suppressed Wang Jinhu's Yuzhong.

Xia Houba's eyes lit up, he has been in Longxi for nearly 20 years, he naturally knows the terrain of mountains and rivers, he praised repeatedly: "Not bad, Xing Yun has a lot of clever tricks!"

"This is an expedient measure. Now the general is wooing the Wang family. If Wang Jinhu is not from Guo Huai, the general can win over him. Di Dao is close to Taoshui, and the land is fertile. Within three years, it can be restored to its original state."

I don't know if Sima Yi will give Xia Houba these three years.

Xia Houba shook his head and said: "Wang Jinhu is not from Guo Huai, nor from the General. The Wang family has a strong foundation and will not be attached to anyone."

Yang Zheng was speechless, secretly thinking that Cao Wei really had complicated factions.

But Yizhi Yunwu is a good move for the current Xiahouba.

After the dust settled in Qinzhou, Yang Zheng was promoted to the captain of the guard Qiang, and his generals would of course follow suit.

Zhang Teti was promoted to Sima of the Weifu of the Huqiang School, Zhou Yu and Jiang Farye were appointed to work in the Huqiang School, Duan Da, Yin Chun, Zhou Fang, Yuan Xiao, Gongsunfu, and Zhao Aqi were promoted to Duwei, Gong Feizhi, Luo Huzi, E Shanshi, Pu Jin, Du He, etc. will be promoted to Qu Chang, and even Liu Heng will be promoted to superintendent.

Xia Houba also served as the guard of the army, and he could be appointed or dismissed at his own discretion.

Xia Houba didn't even look at the list, and just used the seal.

"What will happen to Jincheng in the future is unknown. You and I, one in Longxi and the other in Yunwu, are each other's horns."

"The last general will live up to the entrustment of the governor and the general!"

From this moment on, Yang Zheng is qualified to call himself the last general.

"You can manage Xiping with peace of mind, and the marriage will be arranged for you."

"Thank you, General."

Looking at Xia Houba's expression, Yang Zheng suddenly thought of a question.

Xiahouxuan is Xiahouba's nephew, isn't Xiahouxuan's daughter Xiahouba's grandniece?
Didn't I want to call Uncle Xiahouba Grandpa...

This seniority descended a bit too fast.

But my gratitude to him is real.

Thinking about the precarious days before, without Xia Houba, Yang Zheng would probably still be struggling in the mud.

The so-called nobleman is nothing more than that.

After staying in Didao for so long, it's time to go to Xiping to take up the post.

Yang Zheng looked at the northwest land in high spirits.

In this chaotic world, I finally have some foundation.

No matter how the situation changes in the future, he has the power to control his own destiny.

After all, Fanghan is too young, and under the eyes of Guo Huai and Xiahouba, there are some things that should not be too blatant.

Xiping is different, it is a real border land.

You can let go.

After bidding farewell to Xiahouba, Yang Zheng and Du Yu went on the road again, feeling extremely excited.

When they rushed to Didao, they met someone sent by Gongsunfu, "General, Jishishan... internal strife!"

"What?" Yang Zheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"How does Jishi Mountain have internal strife, you can explain it carefully." Every step of the way, he rose up and was proud of the spring breeze, but suddenly turned sharply down.

Yang Zheng's property is all in Jishi Mountain.

Otherwise, if the polished commander goes to Xiping to take office, will he be able to grasp the real power in the Year of the Monkey?
Without a knife in hand, would the local tyrants and the Qianghu tribe be fooled by themselves?

Under the pressure of Zhong Qiang, Xiping wants to be safe, and Jishi Mountain cannot be lost.

"Duan Da reported that Jiang Faye had cheated on Zhong Qiang, and Jiang Faye reported that Duan Da was enriching his own pockets and greedy for gold mines! The two of them each occupied the top of the mountain and fought each other. Human slaves fled to Beishan."

Yang Zheng's expression suddenly darkened.

I thought Guo Huai and Xia Houba had chicken feathers all over their hands, but it turned out that the same is true for their own hands.

Since the Qiang rebellion, the war has lasted for almost half a year. Yang Zheng traveled from Longxi to Xiping, and then from Xiping to Xihai. He had no time to go to Jishi Mountain.

Distance not only produces beauty, but also estrangement.

Since ancient times, there has been no monolithic power.

Duan Da and Jiang Faye, one is his former subordinate and the other is his father-in-law.

Who has a problem?

Selfishly, Yang Zheng was more inclined to Duan Da, after all, he followed him out of the mountain of corpses and blood.

And Jiang Faye had already abandoned himself once before, and now that he has a foothold in Jishi Mountain, he will inevitably have other thoughts.

Human hearts are fickle.

Of course, this is just a personal feeling.

This incident also gave Yang Zheng a warning.

In the past, everyone was barefoot and precarious, and it was good to be alive. There was no choice, so I used my energy and my heart to go to one place.

But it's different now.

As Yang Zheng's fortune rose and his power gradually grew, some people's minds changed.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there will also be benefits.

Not everyone wants to follow Yang Zheng.

"Has anyone entered Jishi Mountain recently?" Yang Zheng wanted to make sure if any external forces were involved.

"There are only four roads leading to Jishi Mountain from east to west, north, south, and all of them are guarded by people from our secret camp."

Things haven't gotten out of hand yet.

"Yuan Kai will go to Xidu to take up his post first, and I will settle this matter!" There are certain things that Du Yu should not know too early.

Du Yu bowed his hands on his horse and headed northwest with three cavalrymen.

Yang Zheng led the rest of the people and ran westward.
