contend

Chapter 138
After talking with Du Yu for most of the night, I learned the details of the Guo family.

In the first year of Huangchu, Xiping Qianghu rebelled.

Emperor Wen sent Zhang Jiu, the prefect of Jincheng, to help.

Zhang put down the rebellion with three strikes, five cuts and two cuts. The Guo family felt that Xiping was too unsafe, and they rebelled at every turn. Based on the idea that eggs should not be put in one basket, all of them moved to Luoyang.

Today's Empress Dowager Guo was brought into the palace and became the concubine of Emperor Ming who was still the prince at that time.

Emperor Ming abandoned Empress Mao and supported Empress Dowager Guo, because he also took a fancy to the strength of the Guo family.

However, Xiping Guo's fancy is not useful.

A family of honor and favor, but did not produce any special talents, it is not in the same breath as the Sima family and the Wang family.

There is only one Guo Dun who barely has a reputation.

On the second day, Yang Zheng got up early.

Together with Du Yu and Liu Heng, they rushed to the prefect's mansion with more than a dozen personal guards.

Hundreds of members of the Guo family came out to greet them, and even the maids and servants were dressed in silk, which was more decent than Yang Zheng, the captain of the Qiang guard.

He has always been in the army and has little contact with these families.

Guo Jian fled to Luoyang, and now his younger brother Guo Chang is in charge.

And he also served as a meritorious Cao in Xiping County.

Guo Dun is a side branch among the side branches in the Guo family, and he only talked about it when he attacked the city that day, now that the war has subsided, Guo Dun is no longer important.

What's more, others are in Longxi.

"I have heard about General Yang's name for a long time, and I just met him today." Guo Chang was about forty years old, with a wide forehead and small eyes. When he spoke, his eyes wandered up and down.

"The carriages and horses were in a hurry yesterday, and it was getting late, so I'm here to bother you today." Yang Zheng's scarlet military officer's uniform looked shabby in front of the surrounding silk and satin.

"Fortunately to see you here, but if you are far away from us, General Yang will not be offended."

"How dare you dare."

After exchanging pleasantries on the scene, Yang Zheng and Du Yu were welcomed into the mansion.

Liu Heng and his personal guards were ushered into the guest house.

As the prefect's mansion run by the Guo family for more than ten years, the luxury is not inferior to Xia Houxuan's Yongliang Governor's Mansion.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, rockery and trees are all carefully adjusted and crafted with great ingenuity.

Yang Zheng didn't feel that he was in the Northwest at all, and thought he was in Chang'an or Luoyang metropolis.

The guest and the host sat opposite each other, Yang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and he was not used to such occasions, "This year's war, Longxi was plundered by Qiang and Hu, and the farmland was completely destroyed. I came here to ask Guo Gongcao for help."

Guo Chang's small eyes rolled, and he said generously: "If there were no generals to fight, the western capital would have been destroyed by thieves long ago. Would Guo Jia'an be spared? Come and send two hundred shi of grain to General Yang."

Two hundred shi of grain is not enough for Jishi Mountain for a day.

With only one western capital, he occupied seven thousand hectares of fertile land, and only took out two hundred shi...

Guo Chang is sending beggars away?

Yang Zheng stared at Guo Chang's face, giving him all the face he should and should not have given.

The other party has such an attitude.

Seeing that Yang Zheng didn't speak, Guo Chang said with a bitter face: "General Yang doesn't know something. This year, the Qiangs are in chaos, and there is no harvest in the western capital. My Guo family has no food left..."

Du Yu couldn't stand it any longer, "Although the western capital was in chaos, General Guo Dun looted the bandits in Linqiang, Poqiang and other places, and gained a lot."

Guo Chang's small eyes rolled, "Oh, Yuan Kai doesn't know something. The Guo family has a big business. Thousands of people want to eat and drink. The Guo family is also difficult."

Du Yu glanced at Yang Zheng, who sneered twice.

After all, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

I originally thought that everyone would be kind and get things done.

Back then when you were in trouble in Xiping, I supported you from Longxi. Now that I am in trouble, you refuse to save me. This is against the rules.

"In that case, let's take my leave!" Yang Zheng stood up with a "thump", and the politeness on his face was wiped away.

"Why did General Yang do this? He didn't drink any tea."

Yang Zheng stared at him closely, unconsciously, murderous, "Tomorrow, Guo Gongcao can come to my camp for tea."

"Oh?" Guo Chang's smile didn't change, "Then let's bother the general tomorrow."

"It's easy to say!" Yang Zheng didn't even say goodbye, turned around and strode away.

In less than a stick of incense, they broke up unhappy.

This is the case these days, without using a knife, nothing can be done.

Does the Guo family still think that they are the Guo family of Emperor Ming?
Yang Zheng sneered in his heart.

The Sima family and Cao Shuang suppressed the Guo family, but they didn't know how to restrain themselves.

I remember that around this time, Cao Shuang was about to put Queen Mother Guo under house arrest.

Anyway, I am also a member of Cao Shuang's group, so I will do it when I need to.

Liu Heng and the others also had a bad look on their faces, and it seemed that they had also suffered from embarrassment.

"General!" Liu Heng's neck was swollen, and his eyes were covered with blood.

"Back to camp!" Yang Zheng shouted.

If you don't eat the toast, you can only eat fine wine.

Return to the camp and immediately gather everyone.

"Since the imperial court appointed me as the lieutenant to protect the Qiang, all affairs in the northwest will be decided by this general. Zhang Te, you bring 1000 troops to seize the treasury, grain depot, and government office in the western capital!"

"Follow the order!" Zhang Te followed the order.

"Zhou Fang, you bring 500 people to block the prefect's mansion. If a fly flies out, I'll take you as a questioner!"

"Follow the order!"

"Others, go meet with Guo Yun for a while!"

"Follow the order!"

Without food, there will be no population, and there will be no Jishi Mountain.

How could those more than [-] Hu slaves be willing to sacrifice their lives?

Now Yang Zheng's Hu Qiang captain is the highest officer in Xiping, and has the power to use the treasury and all the horses in Xiping County.

After a stick of incense, two thousand Qiang zi were assembled.

When Guo Yun heard the movement, he gathered his troops and surrounded Yang Zheng's camp.

But people are different from person to person, and army to army is also different.

The Qiang camp and the camp have followed Yang Zheng in many bloody battles, and have already completed their transformation.

And Guo Yun's subordinates are just a group of mobs, who didn't dare to fight Qiang Hu at the beginning, do they dare to risk their lives with him today?

Two thousand troops left the camp, and the clanging of armor was like a landslide.

There was also a burst of anger in the soldiers' hearts.

Yang Zheng put on his armor and held a sword, and stood in front of the formation. In an instant, Yang Zheng and the soldiers became one.

An invisible murderous aura surged into the sky.

The way Du Yu looked at Yang Zheng beside him suddenly changed.

"What is Lieutenant Yang doing!" Guo Yun said with complicated eyes.

"Presumptuous! How dare you, the captain of a small county, be disrespectful in front of this general. Come here and beat me with thirty army sticks!"

"Follow the order!" Liu Heng led more than a dozen personal soldiers out of the battle.

"You...you..." Guo Yun's face was livid.

What does it mean to overwhelm others with power and bully the small with the big?

It is now.

The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, but the raptor also wants to cross the river!
With a sound of "clang", Guo Yun pulled out the ring head knife.

The surrounding soldiers also drew their swords out of their sheaths.

Liu Heng was afraid that he would not play with knives, so he smiled grimly and said, "Okay, okay!"

There were really some people who were desperate to stand in front of Liu Heng with a straight knife.

Liu Heng slammed down with a knife, and the man stepped back three steps, barely blocking it.

But the second knife and the third knife followed.

At the fifth cut, the man's head flew into the air...

There was blood all over the place.

"Are you going to rebel? Those who act recklessly will be killed!" Yang Zheng roared angrily.

No one dared to move.

Many of these people are domestic slaves of the Guo family.

Not a real fighter yet.

Liu Heng lifted Guo Yun up.

Even though he had a knife in his hand, he didn't dare to swing it at the moment, completely frightened by Liu Heng's evil spirit.

There is no arrogance like yesterday.

Liu Heng threw Guo Yun to the ground, and was held down by two soldiers, who used spears as sticks, and started to fight cracklingly.

Thirty army sticks could have killed him.

It's just that he has the official position of the county captain after all, and Yang Zheng killed him, and his superiors couldn't explain it, so he saved his life.

Guo Yun's heart-piercing wailing also dissipated the morale of the Guo family servants present.

More than 3000 people surrounded Yang Zheng's camp, but now it feels like they are the ones being surrounded.

Some clever people have already slipped away quietly.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Yang Zheng ordered: "All soldiers obey the order, and those who hold weapons will be killed!"

"Whoever wields a weapon will be cut!" Qiang's soldiers shouted in unison.

It was as if thunderbolts struck the barracks.

With a grim face, Liu Heng stepped forward with a knife in hand.

The house slave standing in front of him involuntarily put down his weapon.

Then, the weapon Ping Ping Bangbang fell to the ground.

Yang Zheng was determined to turn his back on him, but Guo Yun didn't have the guts, nor did the Guo family.

Yang Zheng could do something to them, but would they dare to do it to Yang Zheng?
The nature of the two sides is completely different.
