Chapter 14
"Captain!" Guo Huai dismounted and bowed his hands.

"Meet the governor!" Both the Yongliang army and the Chinese army all bowed down.

The person who came was Xia Houxuan, General Zhengxi, False Festival, and Governor of Yongliang.

Before the defeat, Yang Zheng mainly focused on Cao Shuang, and didn't pay much attention to Xia Houxuan who was dressed in military armor. Looking at it today, he felt that the records in ancient books such as Lang Ri were true.

And the surrounding swordsmen and soldiers set off his demeanor even more.

During the reign of Emperor Ming, Mao, the younger brother of Empress Mao, once sat with Xia Houxuan, and people at the time commented: "The reed is leaning on the jade tree."

Seeing Xia Houxuan, the big stone in Yang Zheng's heart slowly fell to the ground, "Yang Zheng of the Wuwei Camp pays his respects to the governor!"

Xia Houxuan had a sullen expression on his face, "I don't know the dignity, but you have the courage to run against the general of the country, come here, and hit the thirty army sticks hard!"

Two soldiers came out behind him.

Guo Huai's expression changed, all the cold and murderous aura just dissipated, and he said generously: "This son has a resolute temperament, he will not be chaotic in the face of danger, and he will be a good general in the future. I just tested you, so why do you talk about collision? How can Huai be a narrow-minded person? The governor is too worried."

After hearing this, Yang Zheng couldn't help cursing in his heart, if Xia Houxuan came here for a while, his head might fall to the ground.

Xia Houxuan glanced at Yang Zheng, "General Guo is magnanimous, but this son doesn't know the rules of respect and etiquette, and has a rebellious attitude. If he doesn't polish it, he will never become a great weapon."

Two soldiers strode forward and pushed Yang Zheng down.

He fetched the army stick and beat it down with a crackling sound.

Yang Zheng thought it was just for show, but he didn't expect it to be a real fight.

Everyone present looked on.

Xia Houxuan was truly impartial.

But life is safe after all.

Yang Zheng endured the [-]th army stick without saying a word, and the two soldiers finally grasped the measure. Although it hurt, they didn't hurt the bones.

"Are you convinced?" Xia Houxuan looked at Yang Zheng indifferently.

"At the end of the day, you will know your mistakes, and you will be convinced."

Strictly speaking, Xia Houxuan did not say or do anything wrong, and even saved his life.

It is beating and alerting myself.

How could Yang Zheng not know what to do?

"What do you think of General Guo?" Xiahou Xuan asked warmly.

Guo Huai glanced lightly at Yang Zheng, "The governor is fair and selfless, and I will admire it in the end."

Xia Houxuan nodded and said: "The Chinese and foreign armies are all the pillars of the Great Wei Dynasty. They fought for the country. After returning to the country, how could they not enter the city?"

Guo Huai quickly cupped his hands, "Forgive me, Commander. There have been a lot of looting of people in the city recently. The general wants to let the army rectify outside the city first, and then enter the city. There is no other intention."

"General Guo is sympathetic to the people. Since he has no other intentions, how about letting go of the city? From then on, if there are people who disturb the people, the military law will deal with it."

"Follow the commander's orders."

"Thank you, Commander!" The soldiers who were stopped outside the city shouted one after another.

A few words calmed the army's mind.

Although Xia Houxuan was inferior in military strategy, he was just and fair, and no one objected to it.

Guo Huai was ten years older than him, and he also came from a family, but his bearing was not as good.

The demeanor of celebrities is really extraordinary.

If he is the one in charge, perhaps Cao Wei will not only fall into the hands of others.

After entering the city, Xia Houxuan also brought wine and food to the camps in the name of General Cao Shuang, which made everyone weep with gratitude.

On the second day, Yang Zheng thought that Cao Shuang would summon him, endured the unhealed pain, and washed the black light armor over and over again. If it wasn't for this armor, he would have died on the battlefield countless times.

However, the whole day was calm and calm, only the defeated soldiers withdrew from the Qinling Mountains one after another.

Yang Zheng also thought that Cao Shuang would be promoted because of his outstanding achievements.

In the past few days, Yang Zheng has also figured it out. He has no power in his hands, and anyone can trample him to death.

Once you have strength, you will have the ability to choose.

For three days in a row, Cao Shuang didn't even show his face.

Yang Zheng could only rest in peace and heal his wounds, eat and drink with the brothers who had broken through, and feel at ease.

In addition to Linghusheng, he also made new acquaintances with the two chiefs, Zhang Te and Zhou Yu.

One is from Zhuojun, Hebei, and the other is from Lujiang, Huainan.

They are all born recklessly, with a straightforward temperament, and after a few bowls of wine, they have a life-threatening friendship.

On the fourth day, maybe Cao Shuang finally remembered him and sent someone to summon him.

Yang Zheng came in with him, but before entering the door, he could smell the smell of alcohol from a distance.

Entering the hall, Cao Shuang lay reclining on the soft bed, eyes blurred with drunkenness, embracing two beauties on the left and right, behind him was a brocade screen, embroidered with a tiger descending the mountain, which was strongly inconsistent with the chaotic atmosphere in the hall.

Deng Yang on the left is also holding the beauty up and down.

Only Xia Houxuan on the right frowned deeply, looking depressed.

A gentleman is a gentleman, even kneeling and sitting upright, without squinting, and there is no beauty around.

There is a wine bottle in the hall, and two servants pour wine with long spoons.

"Subordinate Yang Zheng pays his respects to the general."

"Xingyun, come, let's drink this cup together!" Cao Shuang waved his hand, and someone brought a lacquered ear cup.

The long spoon skillfully delivered the wine into the glass.

Deng Yang stared straight at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng thought to himself that he didn't offend him, why did he keep staring at him?

"Thank you, General!"

He drank the fine wine in the glass in one gulp, and felt that although the wine was mellow, it was also a bit bland.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and I feel that Cao Shuang has gained a lot of weight again.

Last time it was covered by armor, but now it is undressed, with bare chest and arms, and there is nowhere to hide the fat.

Cao Shuang sized Yang Zheng up and down with his drunken eyes, "To be able to fight back unscathed among thousands of troops, the courage of Xingyun is not inferior to that of a tiger."

Huhou is the fierce general Xu Zhu, who has the supernatural power to drag an oxtail upside down for a hundred steps.

I still know how many catties and taels I have.

If it wasn't for the Black Light Armor, the Hualing Sword, and Linghu Sheng's great help, he might have become a puddle of flesh on the battlefield long ago.

"How dare my subordinates compare with Huhou? If it weren't for the great general's armor and sword, Zheng An would have survived?"

Cao Shuang chuckled twice, "You are not arrogant in victory but not discouraged in defeat. Your temperament is quite like your father's."

A figure flashed in Yang Zheng's mind.

In fact, in his confused memory, his father was not very close.

It doesn't coincide with the mysterious figure deep in the memory.

Cao Shuang has said so, it seems that the reward is not far away.

Yang Zheng felt a surge of anticipation in his heart.

"It's a pity that Yang You followed Sima Yi to conquer Liao, otherwise he wouldn't have died in the North." Deng Yang said flatly.

Originally, the atmosphere in the hall was quite harmonious, but Deng Yang's words were like a gust of dark wind, which immediately condensed the atmosphere.

And Cao Shuang's face was also a little gloomy.

In the second year of Jingchu, Sima Yi led Niu Jin, Hu Zun, etc. to ride [-] horses. They set out from Luoyang, passed through Guzhu, and Yuejieshi. They won three battles and three victories.

On the other hand, when Cao Shuang conquered Shu, not to mention Yizhou, he didn't even touch the border of Hanzhong. He lost soldiers and generals, more than ten troops, and only [-] to [-] survived.

Deng Yang's remarks are undoubtedly pouring cold water on him.

"Fighting Liao is the order of the late emperor, and the Luoyang Central Army obeys it. As a soldier of the Wuwei Battalion, how can Yang You disobey the military order?" Xia Houxuan glanced coldly at Deng Yang.

Cao Shuang drank a glass of wine in a "grunt, murmur", and Meiji beside him gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth.

After being silent for a while, Cao Shuang said leisurely: "Xingyun has made great achievements, what reward do you want, but it doesn't matter."

Yang Zheng was elated, and this was what he was waiting for.

Just when he was proud, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Deng Yang's smiling face.

A bad premonition faintly rose in my heart.

The last time he had this expression, he almost killed himself.

Looking at Cao Shuang again, he looked lazy and drunk on the surface, but in fact there was a hint of coldness hidden in the corners of his eyes!
It doesn't matter if you have no power or power these days, but if you don't know how to watch your words, you will die without a place to die.

Moreover, Deng Yang deliberately mentioned his father Yang You and Sima Yi, which seems to have hidden meaning.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and I knelt down on one knee, cupped my hands and said: "What is the merit of this subordinate? It is all thanks to the great general's divine power that he can get out of trouble. I dare not accept rewards. I only wish to be by the general's side and be one." The soldiers are enough!"

When others take the initiative to give and you ask for it, the nature changes.
