Chapter 217 Recruitment
Every autumn, when the grassland cattle and horses are strong and the grain in Xiping is about to be cooked, it is the time when the major tribes are about to move.

It is the general trend of this era that the Huns move inland.

Zhang Te sent people to report many times, and several groups of Yueshi Hu and Qiuci Hu went south to the Xihai Grassland. They were defeated by Zhang Te and captured more than 5000 people, including more than [-] horses, cattle and sheep.

Yin Chun, the captain of Dayu Valley in the south, also reported that when the Qiang was burned, Zhong Qiang repeatedly invaded the farmland, robbed food, and was defeated by slaves and defenders.

Among them, Zhao Deng's remnant camp performed outstandingly, taking the initiative to attack many times and slaughtering the Qiang Valley.

It is impossible to have absolute peace.

It can only rise through constant struggle.

Isn't it the same for later generations of Huaxia?

In view of the fact that Qianghu is becoming more and more rampant, Yang Zheng started a new round of attack.

The Xiaoqi Battalion, Reebok Battalion, and Personal Guard Battalion, with more than [-] people, were divided into [-] divisions, each with a thousand people, sweeping inside and outside.

Yin Chun was promoted to be the governor of Hequ, and Zhao Deng was appointed as the deputy governor, who was in charge of the south's attack on Faqiang and Dangqiang.

Both Zhou Fang and Yuan Xiao were promoted to control.

Although these three people are not generals, they are loyal and veterans of the Wuwei battalion.

He has been carefully trained by Yang Zheng in the past three years, and his ability has also been continuously enhanced. It is enough to guard one side.

Yinchun Township Dayu Valley, Zhoufang Township Linqiang, Yuanxiao Township Anyi, Shaotong Township Longqi.

Zhang Te manages Fuluochuan on the west side of the West Sea.

Du Yu built pastures.

Zhou Yu worked the hardest, running Dajishi Mountain when he was free, and running between Xidu and Jishibao when he was busy.

Yang Zheng promoted Yang Ji to be the deputy commander to help Zhou Yu.

The entire Xiping West Sea is under Yang Zheng's firm control.

It is almost impossible for Qiang Hu to attack by force, so he can only make small troubles.

When the autumn harvest begins, the whole of Xiping is filled with joy.

Even Lu Zhi inspected the various farms and praised Yang Zheng, "In the past, Han Wu used the farms to rule the Western Regions, and Zhao Chongguo continued it, so that the frontiers can be opened up, the clouds and the farms are flourishing, and the country and the people are benefited."

"The land in Xiping is already fertile, with sufficient food, and people's hearts are safe." Yang Zheng looked at the figures working in the farmland.

The slaves were sweating profusely, the sticks were swung left and right, and pieces of wheat were cut down.

Zhuge Wuhou went out of Qishan for the second time, attacked Tianshui, and robbed Sima Yi of Shanggu's farmland, and invented the tool of Chuozi to harvest quickly.

Sima Yi supervised the generals in Guanzhong to fight with superior forces. He was defeated by the Shu army by [-] ranks, won [-] black armors, and [-] horned crossbows.

Sima Yi retreated to Lucheng and refused to fight, and was ridiculed by the generals for "fearing Shu like fearing a tiger".

This is also the first and only defeat in Sima Yi's life.

Later, due to Li Yan's lack of food and supplies, he lied that the Lord of Shu had called him back, so Zhuge Liang had no choice but to retreat, and Zhang He was ambushed and killed on the wooden gate.

Chuozi has been handed down in Longxi for more than 20 years. It is made of bamboo rafts. The semi-circular bamboo basket net is shaped like a dustpan and is slightly larger, with a length and width of more than three feet.

"General Anxi intends to call me into court as a doctor." Lu Zhi said suddenly.

Yang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, the Sima family made their mind on Lu Zhi so quickly?
In history, Sima Yi treated Lu Zhi well. He not only pardoned his crimes, but also replaced Chen Tai as an envoy, General Zhonglang, and General Zhenwei.

He has successively supervised the towns of Bingzhou, Jingzhou, and Qingzhou. All of them have made meritorious service, benefiting one side, and have outstanding political achievements.

Lu Zhi was well-known before, and he was selected by Emperor Ming for Cao Shuang. Unfortunately, Cao Shuang abandoned him and spent all day hanging out with Deng Yang, He Yan and others.

It is not surprising that Sima Zhao noticed Lu Zhi's existence.

But this move made Yang Zheng uncomfortable. How many people around him can govern?

The restoration of local counties, townships, kiosks, and villages was built by Lu Zhi.

Qiang, Hu and Han are so harmonious, thanks to Lu Zhi's contribution.

Now that he's leaving, it's simply a draw from the bottom.

Sima Zhao's casual move made himself uncomfortable.

But whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on Lu Zhi's intentions.

Sima Zhao is just General Anxi, not the prime minister, let alone the emperor, and cannot represent the court, and the power is in the hands of Sima Yi.

Even if the imperial court recruits, Lu Zhi can refuse.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many people who refused to be recruited.

"Uncle is going to Luoyang, he will surely show great ambitions, and his official career will be prosperous." Yang Zheng bowed his hands.

Luzhi was different from Xia Houxuan in that he was born into a wealthy family in Fufeng County, but he was not considered a noble family. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, his father Guo Si was murdered and he was displaced since childhood.

For people without roots, Sima and his son will often make an exception and promote them.

Such as Deng Ai, Shi Bao, Wang Ji, Zhou Tai and so on.

They are all Sima Yi who knows heroes with his eyesight, and Jian Ba ​​is in his infancy.

Lu Zhi, who was always serious, smiled and said, "Why do you provoke me, boy?"

"How dare my nephew, my uncle is a talented person in the world, he is highly valued by the late emperor, he never clings to flattery, he is well-known in Yongliang, Sima Yi will definitely use his uncle when he first gains power, and he will set an example for the world."

Lu Zhi let out a long sigh, "The great general is the enemy of Taifu Sima, how can he be undefeated? The day of Wang Yanyun's defeat is not far away, and sooner or later the world of Wei will fall into the hands of Sima and his son."

Yang Zhenggong stood beside him.

Unexpectedly, it was Cao Wei, and even Wu Shu was terminated by the Sima family.

A Hu slave held ears of wheat and knelt in front of Lu Zhi, offering them with both hands, "Lu, father, Lu father!"

This man can't speak Chinese well, but he looked at Lu Zhi with extremely pious eyes.

It was as if the son was really looking up to his father.

Yang Zheng couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, he was his master, and he was the one who kept him alive, but this guy actually eats inside and out...

The key is that the ears of wheat in his hand are also his own.

Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha doesn't have to be in front of the master, right?
Lu Zhi took the wheat stalks, and the stalks of wheat were like gold under the autumn sun, "Luoyang, I won't go, Sima son summoned me, it may not be out of sincerity, in the future, when I am old, I will see Da Wei Jiangshan join Sima and his son." hand, lest I have no face to see the late emperor."

Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

In history, Lu Zhi became a prisoner after the fall of Cao Shuang, had no choice, and was treated favorably by Sima Yi, so he returned to Sima.

But now history has quietly changed.

Bystanders are clear, away from Luoyang, Lu Zhi's mentality is also changing.

"Whether uncle Ruchao stays in Xiping or not, he will surely leave his name in history." Yang Zheng complimented.

How many literati do not value leaving a name in history?
Lu Zhi chuckled twice, and took his servants to cut the wheat together.

When the slaves saw Lu Zhi, they cheered, and the stick flew up.

Lu Zhi got on, and Yang Zheng could only accompany him, but the sound of horseshoes came from behind, and the guards got off their horses, "General, Tongzhi Meng is back."

Meng Guan returned safely, which is considered three blessings.

Yang Zheng hurried back to Xidu, only to find that Meng Guan was injured, his left arm was wrapped in a bandage, and he half-kneeled with shame on his face, "This subordinate is incompetent!"

Yang Zheng couldn't help but "thump" in his heart. Could it be that Lu Zhi's family didn't pick him up?
Helping Meng Guan up, he checked his wound, and found that it was only a slight knife wound, which had already been treated, "It's fine."

Meng Guan became more and more ashamed, "I was waiting to pick up Lu Gong's family, but suddenly I was besieged by Luoyang cavalry. Xuanwu lost four of the seven people, and nine camping lost 37 elites."

This loss is a bit big.

Xuanwu Nine Fields are carefully selected.

"Where is Duke Lu's family now?"

"On the way back to the western capital, there are Qiang cavalry under Jiang's protection. The matter is urgent, and the subordinates will report to the general first."

Jiang Faye's temperament is calm, since Lu Zhi's family has entered Xiping, it is not a big problem.

The big question is, how was it discovered in Luoyang?

Luoyang has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the seven Xuanwu people are not going to complete the big operation to assassinate Sima Yi and Sima Shi.

Just pick up a few people and get discovered?

And now the world's attention is on Huainan.

"You explain what happened carefully."

"The subordinates entered the city in batches, lurked in Feng's guest house, rarely went out, and the subordinates went to meet them in person. Everything was fine, but unexpectedly, after leaving the city for only five miles, there were cavalry chasing them. Fortunately, Commander Gongsun took action. The subordinates were able to get out of trouble."
