Chapter 276
Wei Guan made Yang Zheng even more creepy than Li Mi back then.

Li Mi is at best a maggot, disgusting to others.

And Wei Guan is a poisonous snake that vomits letters.

If the letter is successful, regardless of whether Sima Jiacai adopts it or not, he will definitely "impress" himself, and then get rid of it quickly.

The Sima father and son and the gentry are not fools, so they can naturally see that Yang Zheng's tricks are here to kill them.

With Hu Fen's character, he would never be so meticulous, let alone think so deeply.

This series of actions seized the opportunity everywhere.

Just as he was about to instigate Lu Shui to act recklessly, Hu Fen's knife came.

As soon as he spread rumors and provoked Xianbei and the Xiongnu, Hu Fen took a drastic action and asked Xianbei and the Xiongnu to send their hostages.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the Juqu Department will go south to plunder...

Every step is on point.

Hu Fen is a warrior, Yang Zheng wouldn't believe it if he didn't have a strong advisor by his side.

Yang Zheng originally wanted to call several military advisers from the Western Capital to join the army to discuss how to kill Wei Guan, but considering that Lu Zhi and Du Yu were both scholars and Wei Guan came from a family of Confucianism, too insidious methods would definitely make the two of them die. do not like.

They can only be transferred back to Mengguan from the north to discuss in secret.

Considering that Peng Hu was also a member of the army and was familiar with the internal affairs of Lu Shui's various ministries, he was also summoned.

"Hu Fen and Wei Guan are forcing the general to take action! The general who protects Qiang and barbarians, if something happens in Xiping, Hu Fen will justifiably go south to intervene." Meng Guan said first.

After being idle for so long, Peng Hu was a little stiff and silent.

Yang Zheng nodded and said: "It's indecent to come and not to go! Our army can also send the Qiang tribe north to cut off their food and fodder, and send troops to Jincheng, Xihai, and Xiping at the same time, so that Hu Fen will be exhausted, and then we can take the opportunity to take Weiguan!"

This is the same as proxy wars in later generations.

Let's break your wrists first.

But I have to say that Hu Fenweiguan chose to use this method at this time, and the timing was just right.

It happened to be the time when Yang Zheng was on the ups and downs, he was about to rise up, and there were major internal changes.

"This person is so cautious, it may be difficult to carry out an assassination." Meng Guan poured cold water on him, "During this period of time, the Nine Camps have been infiltrating into Guzang City, and they have never been able to get close to this person."

No one can be found, and the assassin has no target.

Are you going to attack Guzang City?

Of the five counties in Hexi, Guzangxiang is an important town in the northwest.

Back then, Ye Wudai's "One Hundred Thousand Army" failed to win.

How many people are you going to get?
This is blatant rebellion.

Yang Zheng closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. After all, assassination is an indiscriminate method. It can be used occasionally, but it is difficult to be elegant, and it is not good for reputation if it is spread.

If you put all your hopes on this, you will fall into the inferior vehicle.

He also set a wrong example for his subordinates.

In case someone follows suit one day...

The advantage I have is that those secret works can be used, as well as the secret works and Qiang tribes that have penetrated into Wuwei.

"Let's go step by step, eat every bite, let's get to know our opponent first." Yang Zheng still suppressed his impetuous mood after all.

But his eyes turned to his nominal father-in-law Peng Hu, and his heart skipped a beat.

This man is quick-witted. Back then when he pacified Xiping and crusaded against Midang, he contributed both his efforts and suggestions.

Although he hooked up with Chen Tai later, under the circumstances at that time, how could a smart person not pave an extra path for himself.

"Peng Canjun, you and I are like a father and son! Some things require you to do it yourself." Yang Zheng smiled like a fox, and his tone was extremely respectful.

Others have family backgrounds and connections, but Yang Zheng's father-in-law has a lot of people, and none of them are easy.

Xia Houxuan, Jiang Farye, Peng Hu...

It's either a court boss or a tribal chieftain.

It should be used or should be used.

After all, Kui Mulang's level is a bit low. Although he has made progress, compared with Wei Guan's level...

Looking at Yang Zheng's smile, Peng Hu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, feeling that the words "love with father and son" were like four slaps on his face...

Wuwei.

Wei Guan is indeed very low-key.

He never wears fancy clothes, and rarely shows up in front of people. He lives in seclusion and is sometimes escorted by soldiers when he goes out.

Like a shadow of Hu Fen.

But Yang Zheng misunderstood him, and it was not his intention to send the Juqu tribes south, but Hu Fen was on the spur of the moment to test the defenses of the Xiping lands.

"Jincheng, Xihai, and Xiping will send troops at the same time to rob me of food and fodder?" Wei Guan smiled slightly after reading the latest information on the silk, "Then let them rob me."

As soon as Hu Fen changed his mind, he also understood, "The fields in Wuwei and Zhangye are all owned by the local tycoons. Boyu wants to use Yang Zheng's hand to suppress the tyrants?"

"That's why Liangzhou has been like a pool of stagnant water these years. Only when it is stirred up can the general have a chance to integrate all the forces."

"Haha, today is indeed a double blessing. The Peng tribe, the last of the Lushui tribes, also surrendered to us!" Hu Fen laughed.

"Oh?" Wei Guan also became interested.

Lu Shuihu's overall strength is no less than that of the Xiongnu and Xianbei in Liangzhou, but there is a mess inside and he is killing each other.

With this tribe at the bottom, Hu Fen's Hu Qiang Yi Zhonglang will have some gold content.

"Yesterday, the scouts came to report. Peng Hu, the leader of the Peng Department, received [-] tents and asked for attachment."

There are four or five households in one tent, and nearly ten thousand people in one thousand and five hundred tents. Which of the various tribes in Liangzhou can ride horses and draw bows for the elderly, weak, women, and children?

Peng Bu can draw at least two thousand Qingqi.

It's still the kind that prepares its own horse weapons.

Of course Hu Fen was excited.

Wei Guan raised his brows, "I heard that Peng Bu has a very close relationship with Yang Zheng, and the leader even gave him his daughter. Isn't it a coincidence to vote for me at this time?"

"Boyu didn't know that during the battle of breaking the Qiang, Peng Hu had a heart of betrayal, and he had secret letters with Mr. Chen. When Yang Xingyun found out, he went back to Xidu and put him under house arrest. Several of his letters were in the Liangzhou public office. Qiang Hu has never been ignorant of etiquette, brothers will end up with younger brothers, father dies and sons succeed, just a daughter, which is different from the marriage in the Central Plains."

Hu Fen was born in Anding, and there are quite a few Qianghus in Anding, and he is well aware of their style of play.

Some of them are overly enthusiastic, and serve guests as wives and daughters.

The folk customs of the Northwest are roughly the same.

However, Wei Guan always felt a little uneasy, which made him fetch Peng Hu's secret letter.

Sure enough, the letter was full of Peng Hu's admiration for the imperial court and no words of betrayal. Once Chen Gong went south, he, Peng Hu, would definitely respond.

To put it bluntly, quite sincerely.

As for Lu Shui and Huzhong, Peng Bu has always been most closely connected with the Central Plains, regards the Central Plains as orthodox, and has the deepest Sinicization.

"Since he was under house arrest, why was he released?" Wei Guan didn't miss any detail.

When he was a teenager, Wei Guan had the evaluation of "being quiet and rational, knowing clearly and agreeing".

"Our army subdued the tribes of Lushui, and there was only one Peng tribe left. Yang Zheng originally sent him to gather the tribes of Zhangye and Wuwei to go south. Peng Hu turned around and killed the soldiers under Yang Zheng's supervision, and coerced the tribesmen to defect to me. The next time Peng Hu came to surrender in person, as a general who protects the Qiang and Yi, he must not hurt the hearts of the Qiang and Yi."

What Hu Fen said is reasonable, every detail is thorough, without any flaws, and every link can stand scrutiny.

And before Hu Fen went to Liangzhou, it was already well known that Peng Hu betrayed Yang Zheng.

However, Wei Guan always felt that something was wrong, "The general should be more cautious..."

Hu Fen nodded, "Naturally, a certain person will be cautious. Peng Hu knows Yang Xingyun's details, and he is quite famous among Qianghu, so he can use it for me."
