Chapter 277 Tie
"What did you say?" Yang Zheng was incredulous.

All the Qiang cavalry who went north to plunder returned with a full load, which aroused the envy of others.

People, food, money and silk were loaded into one cart after another.

"That's true. Hu Fen didn't send a single soldier to intercept, but the powerful households organized many private soldiers, and they were all defeated by the Qiang soldiers." Meng Guanhui reported.

Yang Zheng couldn't help laughing, "It's been tricked."

After thinking for a while, Meng Guan also understood, "Is Hu Fen using our hands to punish the powerful?"

"In the future, these Liangzhou tyrants will hate us to the bone."

This trick is beautiful.

If it doesn't work out, Hao Qiang and Hu Fen will fight against each other.

Don't look at pretending to be Qianghu banners with each other, but in fact they are more open-minded than anyone else.

According to the rules of this era, without the support of powerful scholars, Yang Zheng will inevitably encounter many obstacles in expanding his power northward.

But so what?
In the words of the great man, this is not a treat for dinner, and it is impossible to have a good relationship.

Sooner or later, the offended will still be offended.

A group of harmony, itself hides a major hidden danger.

Yang Zheng didn't believe it. When he took off his pants and went north with a knife on their necks, they would really like to be the chaste wives of the Sima family.

If this is the case, there will be no chaos.

It can also be seen from this incident that he has fallen behind the other party in terms of planning.

Yang Zheng has always faced up to his shortcomings.

But on the whole, the result is not bad, and I have gained real benefits, which is a win-win situation.

"General, this subordinate has a word stuck in his throat." Meng Guan blushed, obviously holding it in for a long time.

"Speak." Yang Zheng probably knew what he wanted to say.

"Peng Hu has already betrayed us once, why does the general still believe him and use him? If he goes to Hu Fen, wouldn't it be even more powerful?" Meng Guan gritted his teeth at traitors and spies. When he first heard Zhou Yu If he betrayed, he would have to assassinate him with a knife on the spot.

Yang Zheng shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I didn't believe him. As for whether to join Hu Fen or not is his business, you should know that he is a smart man, and I am giving him a chance."

"Why give such a person a chance?" Meng Guan became a little excited.

Watching Xiping grow from a seedling to what it is today, through all kinds of difficulties and cracks...

He saw it with his own eyes, experienced it himself.

Although it is not a towering tree, it is still strong.

So he cherishes everything in front of him more than Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng said sternly: "Not everyone is as firm as me. Don't we need these unsteady people? Do you think we are short of Peng Hu in Xiping now? He can be used by me, naturally the best , if not, there is always a chance to settle the score with him!"

A few years ago, Yang Zheng just wanted to survive in this troubled world, and live every day.

But now, with more and more people joining, Yang Zheng is no longer the former Yang Zheng.

Especially those who have faith.

When getting faith from Yang Zheng, it also gave Yang Zheng faith and confidence.

The arrogance in Yang Zheng's words instantly untied Meng Guan's knots, and he let out a long sigh of relief, "This subordinate is dull."

"You have worked so hard for Xiping Chan, how can you be stupid? Don't lose today's loyalty in the future." Yang Zheng encouraged.

"Thank you, General!"

After Meng Guan saluted, he turned and left, his footsteps were more steady than before.

Yang Zheng looked at his back, but was lost in thought.

Will Peng Hu betray him again?
Yang Zheng didn't know, but if Peng Hu was really smart, he should be able to assess the situation and not block all roads.

Besides, with Wei Guan's character, would he really trust him?

The risk is worth taking.

The loss is nothing more than a man with a head and two ends, reaching his tribe.

This series of actions can only be regarded as the first round.

With the arrival of the autumn harvest, both sides stepped up their guard. Yang Zheng moved the people to the back of Wubao and sent Xiaoqi Battalion to patrol the north.

The local tyrants in Liangzhou also began to gather together to keep warm, and under the integration of Hu Fen, they formed an "alliance".

It is said that it is the coalition forces, but it has actually become Hu Fen's forces.

The benefits that both sides can reap are getting less and less, and they can only temporarily truce.

Harvest the crops individually.

This round of arm wrestling was barely a tie.

Hu Fen has recruited so many miscellaneous soldiers, if he is smart, he will definitely take some time to integrate.

Everyone needs time.

But Yang Zheng always believed that time was on his side.

Now that Peng Hu had penetrated into the enemy's interior, Yang Zheng called back his other father-in-law, Jiang Faye, to organize Qiang cavalry, maintain the stability in the north, and at the same time comfort the people of Qianghu.

The most important time of the year is coming.

The slaves rushed happily into the ripe wheat waves.

Waiting to return and governing the people also harvested their own crops.

The roads in various parts of Xiping were barely able to be used under the surprise construction, and all kinds of ox carts and horse-drawn carts were directly pulled between the fields.

The weather in Xiping this year is not smooth, and there was no rain for a long period of time in mid-June.

However, the snow water from the plateau and the Qilian Mountains can still nourish this rich land.

Not to mention the Yellow River and Huangshui.

God is fair.

The situation in Xiping was not good, and that in Guanzhong was even worse.

A large area of ​​drought has already occurred, and this year's harvest will definitely be greatly affected.

After more than a month of busy work, the autumn harvest has come to a successful conclusion.

This year, six more plots of farmland were opened, and a lot of people were absorbed, but the harvest was about the same as last year, 110 million shi.

Tuntian occupies the best land, and the loss is not large, but the harvest of the people is much worse.

Yang Zheng directly issued an edict, half of the Tian Fu was exempted.

Suddenly, there were cheers all over the mountains and plains.

Yang Zheng's personal reputation has reached its peak.

For so many years, the imperial court has not only not reduced taxes, but has also continued to increase them.

Slaves, waiting to return, governing the people, and the attracted people have all received benefits.

The grain in storage was only 83 shi.

But this year, due to the implementation of the Fubing system, Yang Zheng is not under great pressure.

The government soldiers were rewarded in the first place, and they missed the farming time when dividing the fields, but they replanted some beans and millet, and Yang Zheng allocated grain to each Zhechong government to help the weak government soldiers.

The grain harvest was in short supply, but the cattle, sheep and war horses that were slaughtered were "a bumper harvest."

The ranch that Du Yu personally planned ushered in a small outbreak, with [-] sheep, [-] cattle, and [-] horses.

Of course, this is far from giving full play to the real advantages of the West Sea Grassland.

In history, Li Jing defeated the three tribes of Tuyuhun Tianzhu, and collected more than [-] miscellaneous animals...

Xiping is like a seedling, which is still growing and has great potential.

After the autumn harvest.

The soldiers rushing to the mansion in all directions on the meander of the river began to gather.

After General Xuan Yilang's merit system was passed down, morale soared visible to the naked eye.

Many soldiers were illiterate, but they could understand human language.

If you win the battle, you will get money, land, and official promotion together!
What a simple truth.

Qiang Hu soldiers are good at this.

It was the third day of September, and the autumn wind already had a hint of bleakness.

Yang Zheng sent a battalion of [-] personal guards to the south, with Yin Chun as the main general and Zhao Deng, Du Bin, Yang Yao, Yu Hu as assistants, to attack the plateau.

Whether Fu Bing can continue to play, still has to come up with results to speak.
