contend

Chapter 169
When Peng Hu's daughter Peng Qingchan was welcomed into the mansion, Yang Zheng's backyard immediately caught fire.

Xiahou Zhi became jealous.

They looked down on Chunniang before, but now the two girls show signs of joining forces.

Ah Lian and Peng Qingchan have similar backgrounds, so there is a sense of sympathy for each other.

Xia Houzhi is the main wife, and her natal family is so powerful that Yang Zheng dare not offend her, let alone them.

After a few days of quarreling, Xia Houzhi still softened under Yang Zheng's hard work.

Compared with the children of their Xiahou family, Yang Zheng was already very restrained.

Welcoming Peng Qingchan in the door strengthened the connection with Pengbu Lu Shuihu.

Many Qianghu have multiplied in Hexi for hundreds of years, with intricate roots and complex forces.

It cannot be simply one size fits all.

The key cannot be cut with a single knife, and it is very likely to fall into a long-term war of attrition.

For example, the Juqu tribe, although Yang Zheng could wipe out the Juqu tribe in Xiping territory, but it involved too many people and needed a justifiable reason.

Otherwise, it will easily cause turmoil in the entire Lushuihu.

Marrying Peng Hu is like inserting a nail into Lu Shuihu.

The Juqu Department did not dare to act rashly.

In mid-June, the crops in the farmlands of Hehuang are like green oceans, and the growth is gratifying.

The alliance in Linqiang City is also coming as promised.

All the Qianghu leaders, large and small, from the West Sea have come.

No one dared not come.

Yang Zheng's fierce reputation still has some influence in Xihai.

The bones of Ye Wudai are still piled up at the foot of Datong Mountain.

"Since XX left last year, the West Sea has been in chaos for a year. If things go on like this, the people are in dire straits. This general is heartbroken and can't sleep or eat." Yang Zheng held back his heartbroken look.

The leader of the Qianghu flattered him knowingly.

"The general's benevolence is unparalleled in ancient and modern times!"

"Having a general in the northwest is a blessing for my generation."

……

Yang Zheng, who was flattering, felt a little embarrassed.

"Since everyone praises this general so much, then listen to this general, how about turning hostility into friendship?"

The Qianghu leaders stared at each other, "Don't worry, the general, we're just squabbling, and there's no mortal hatred. When we get back, we'll shake hands and make peace, so you don't need to bother the general."

There are still many smart people.

Both in and out of the words pushed Yang Zheng out.

"Above the West Sea are brothers."

"Yes, yes, it's very common for brothers to fight. I didn't expect to alarm General Yang. It's a crime."

Yang Zheng was amused in his heart, the brains of these guys came out, but they pretended to be brotherly in front of him.

Now that the pants are all taken off, do you want to shrink them back?

"That's right, brothers from all corners of the world are brothers, come, come, in order to prevent you brothers from fighting again, I will set up some rules for you." Yang Zheng asked his personal guards to carry in three wooden signs.

There are words written on the wooden sign.

Qianghu has only language, no writing.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings caused by those who are illiterate and unable to read, or misinterpret Yang Zheng's good intentions, Yang Zheng deliberately asked people to read it in Chinese, Hu and Qiang languages.

"First, the soldiers of all the tribes in the West Sea will return to the Qiang Xiaowei's Mansion."

"Secondly, the people of all the tribes in the West Sea are organized as herdsmen."

"Thirdly, the leaders of the Western Seas will enjoy peace in the western capital."

After reading, there was silence in the hall.

The breathing of the Qianghu leader became obviously rapid.

A middle-aged barbarian with a bearded face panted heavily, "General, are you going to give me a way out?"

"General Yang bullied us too much!" Another tall man, Hu Ren, said coldly.

Yang Zheng recognized this person, Qiucihu and Bai Conghu.

Qiuxuhu, whose name is Tuluo, is the leader of the captives, and his ancestors were the nobles of the Xiongnu.

These days in the Northwest, as long as there is a name or surname, they are all personalities.

Someone came forward, and other Qianghu leaders also started to make noise, "It's not that I don't know good and bad, but that the general is too harsh."

"Our ancestors have galloped on the Xihai grassland for generations, and the generals have everything in one pot."

No one wants to give up their power.

Yang Zheng had expected it.

But, do the Qiang and Hu people in the West Sea still have a choice?
The main reason why Yang Zheng didn't move the Juqu Department was not how powerful the Juqu Department was, but because the sacrifice far outweighed the benefits, and the risks outweighed the benefits.

Xihai is different, salt and iron horses are good things.

How could he let go of his third leg for nothing?

"Everyone, don't get excited. This general has good intentions. If you continue to kill like this, whoever wins will be annexed by outsiders in the future? This general is benevolent and righteous. I have thought about it for three days and three nights to prevent the West Sea from flowing like a river. Only then did I come up with a smooth path for you, from now on, you will all be brothers of my Yang Zheng, and your people will also be my people, so it’s not good for us to become a family, isn’t it?”

Ever since becoming the lieutenant of Hu Qiang, Yang Zheng's level of lying with open eyes has increased day by day.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. I'll forgive you!" Bald, who was more straightforward, refused directly.

Bai Conghu also cupped his hands at Yang Zheng.

More than half of the leaders stood behind the two of them on the spot.

"It seems that we can't be brothers after all." Yang Zheng sighed.

The murderous intentions in the heart are here and there, and there are swordsmen outside the hall, just a word.

But Yang Zheng didn't bother to do this kind of conspiracy.

For one thing, these leaders are sincere in waiting for them to come as soon as they are called, and if they kill them negatively, their tribes will definitely fight to the end.

Second, there are many tribes in Xihai and even in the whole of Hexi, and people cannot stand without faith. If you want to live in the northwest for a long time, you still need to set up a chaste memorial archway.

Three things, I have absolute strength in my hands to crush them upright, there is no need to play yin, just take the yang that is upright.

Conspiracies and tricks have side effects, so don't use them unless you have to.

The Sima family conquered the world with insidiousness, and their descendants and grandchildren suffered from it a lot.

"You must think clearly. If you surrender, I will ask the court for credit for you. It doesn't matter if you don't surrender. I will give you ten days to think carefully." This time Yang Zheng was sincere.

Most of the leaders stood behind Bald and Bai Conghu.

Only three leaders stood by Yang Zheng's side.

With these few people, Yang Zheng already felt very relieved.

"Come here!" Yang Zheng's words landed, and the leaders jumped up nervously, "Bring the wine and meat, at least for now, we are still friends and brothers!"

The leaders breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yang Zheng with gentler eyes.

When the wine and meat were served, bald and Bai Conghu looked at him motionless.

Yang Zheng knew that they were thinking too much again, because they were worried that it was poisonous.

Yang Zheng picked up the wine bottle with a smile and drank it down. He cut another piece of the fattest mutton and put it in his mouth. Only then did the leaders relax their hearts and start eating and drinking.

While eating and drinking, two more Qianghu leaders stood by Yang Zheng's side, "General Yang is frank, and the two of us are willing to join."

"Okay, the two of you will be my brothers from now on, Yang Zheng."

The wine was hot, and the other leaders were also shaken.

Bald and Bai Cong saw something bad in the tiger's eyes, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "There are many affairs in the clan, so don't bother the general. When the general comes to our grassland in the future, he will entertain him graciously."

Yang Zheng's face darkened, and he dropped the knife in his hand, "I will go to Xihai in ten days, everyone, please do it yourself!"

Bald and Bai Conghu looked at each other in the same way, with panic rising in their eyes at the same time.

However, if he dared to reject Yang Zheng, he still had the courage, "I will welcome the general when the time comes."
