Chapter 37 Making Friends
It turned out that he was Du Yu.

Yang Zheng had a hunch for a long time, but he wasn't too surprised.

On the contrary, he felt that with his ordinary appearance and thick neck, he was destined to be full of ups and downs in the Wei and Jin era, which focused on appearance.

Du Yu is peaceful and has no airs, which makes Yang Zheng feel good about him.

At this time, Du Yu's uncle Du Kuan also came to thank him.

Just now, he looked like a coward with tears running down his cheeks, but now he changed into clean clothes, washed his face, and made it spotless.

A family is a family, the head can be cut off, but the face cannot be lost.

Of course Yang Zheng didn't dare to take it seriously, he knelt on one knee, "Martial arts general Yang Zheng, I pay my respects to Du Langzhong."

"If there is no general to help, someone will humiliate the thief." Du Kuan helped Yang Zheng up and down, but his eyes looked up and down Yang Zheng, "The general's surname is Yang, is it a child of the Hongnong Yang family?"

The last sentence is still thanking, and the next sentence is to inquire about the family status.

"I'm not the Hongnong Yang family. My grandfather was in the army for three generations." Yang Zheng felt that he had nothing to hide.

"Oh, that's how it is." The enthusiasm in Du Kuan's eyes faded by three points in an instant, "Yuan Kai, you are so kind to entertain General Yang, don't be rude."

He nodded lightly at Yang Zheng again, then turned and left.

Seeing his condescending appearance, Yang Zheng smiled wryly in his heart. He was his savior, so he was so indifferent?
But think about it, family background decides everything these days, what qualifications does a little general have to talk to the court doctor?

"Uncle has a calm temperament and is obsessed with the scriptures. The general should not be offended." Du Yu cupped his hands.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Yang Zheng was also somewhat dispirited.

"Report to the general, 11 of our troops were killed and 87 were injured!" Zhou Yu stepped forward to report.

Yang Zheng felt sad for a while, nearly a hundred people were killed or injured, which is a quarter.

Of course, cold weapon wars are definitely impossible without sacrifices.

But sacrificing for the Du family seems a bit unworthy now.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Back then, I made a plan with the general to attack internally and externally. I didn't think that my uncle would bewitch the bandit chieftain with his words, so that the bandits almost succeeded. I didn't think carefully. Come here, hurry up and prepare wine and meat to reward the soldiers." Du It is calm to predict.

The surrounding soldiers looked at him with gentle eyes.

Yang Zheng's affection for him rose again.

You know, Du Shu, the father of Du Yu, was General Chijie Jianwei and Xiaowei Hu Karasuma, and he was regarded as a great official in frontiers.

How can the son of a feudal official be an ordinary person?
The banquet was ready soon, and the corpses in Wubao were cleared out by the Du family.

The injured were properly accommodated.

The corpses of the fallen soldiers were cleaned up, covered with straw mats, and waited to be transported back to Wugong for burial.

Du preset set up a mourning hall to pay homage to the dead.

He also promised to give Wugong a thousand grains of grain and a hundred bolts of silk.

For this sake, Yang Zheng has nothing to say.

At the banquet, Du Yu raised his bottle and said loudly: "Du thank you on behalf of the Du family."

The soldiers looked at Yang Zheng.

With a wave of Yang Zheng's hand, the soldiers picked up the wine bottles and drank them with murmurs, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.

After drinking a bottle of wine, Du Yu's face turned red, as if he wanted to make friends with Yang Zheng, and he talked a lot, "The general's military discipline is strict, and he is united as one. He has the style of an ancient famous general."

Of course, the flattery of a good man is extraordinary. Yang Zheng was full of enthusiasm, but he pretended to be humble, "Brother, it's absurd. It's not that I am good at running the army, but that the soldiers work hard."

These 400 people have all gone through hardships and passed the test, and of course they are of one mind.

Du Yu shook his head and said: "It's very human to be able to command the soldiers to use their lives. To be honest, I have heard a lot about the generals these days. Wounded soldiers, recruiting the people, the general is a hero in the world, but it is a pity that he is not from a noble family, and the general has no knowledge of people, otherwise the general would not have suffered so much."

Yang Zheng was taken aback, he didn't even know that he was so awesome.

But immediately I felt a chill in my heart, as if I had taken off my clothes and stood in front of him.

No wonder Du Yu didn't ask for help from the Yongliang army stationed in Weinan and Meiyang.

It turned out that he had been eyeing him a long time ago.

"The imperial court has its own judgment, and it's not up to me to comment on it." Yang Zheng became a little more vigilant.

High hats are not so easy to wear.

Du Yu picked up the wine bottle and said with a smile, "Don't blame me for my slip of the tongue."

Seeing his sincere expression, Yang Zheng didn't want to make the atmosphere too tense, "Don't dare, I heard that Lingtang is in Youzhou, why are you here?"

Du Yu pondered for a moment and then said, "Does the general know that the Du family is also attached to the general?"

Yang Zheng suddenly became interested, so he is still one of his own?

No wonder he stared at himself.

Du Yu said quietly: "My father is upright and upright. He has repeatedly advised the late emperor that the governor should focus on government affairs and not be in charge of the army. He also suggested that internal and external officials be assessed and promoted based on their political achievements. Therefore, they are not liked by the aristocratic family and Sima Taifu. Therefore, I am attached to the general, and now the general is defeated in the war against Shu, and the hearts of the people are lost. My father is also in danger in Youzhou, and the Du family is often excluded in Jingzhao, so I and my uncle come here to study and study with peace of mind. Qiangdi turmoil..."

The governor is dedicated to government affairs and cannot be in charge of the army. Isn't this the division of civil and military affairs?

The evaluation of internal and external officials, promotion and promotion based on political performance, is a direct declaration of war against the ninth-rank official law.

No wonder he didn't deal with Sima Yi.

Sima Yi is a representative figure of veteran officials of the aristocratic family, and Sima Yimen is also the most direct beneficiary of the Ninth Rank Official Human Law.

Sima Fangsheng's eight sons, named Bada, either occupy high positions in the court, or govern places.

And Brother Sima's ability to reproduce is quite astonishing...

Didn't Du Shu do this in good faith to make things difficult for the Sima family?

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, cutting off the power of a family, can the family give the Du family a good face?

But Yang Zheng's admiration for Du Shu is real.

Rising up with bare feet is not necessarily for the sake of revolution and revolution. As a person with vested interests, he is the real leader of the country who actively reforms for the country and democracy.

Fortunately, in the long river of history, there is always such a figure flashing a bright light.

It's a pity that such a person did not encounter a good time.

No, in fact, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there have been too many talented people, and there is no shortage of talents in any era.

But most of them are restricted by their family backgrounds, and they are firmly suppressed by the Ninth Rank Official Law, so they would rather defect to a foreign race.

And the monarchs of foreign races often look more reliable than the people of the Sima family.

Since Du Shu can be accepted by Cao Shuang, is it true that Du Shu is surrounded by mediocrity and waste?
There are three dogs in Taichung, the second dog can't be used as firewood, and the other dog can make a gangrene by silently.

Mo is the small character of Cao Shuang.

History books have been written by the victors since ancient times.

I didn’t realize it when I was a keyboard warrior on the Internet, but now that I’m on the scene, I realize that everything is not that simple.

Simple is the way you look at the problem.

Although Sima Yi is a formidable character, the person who can confront him will never be easy.

It's either black or white, good or evil, it's a fairy tale.

Of course, Deng Yang's character is really not flattering.

It was also because of him that Yang Zheng looked down on Cao Shuang.

But lack of character does not mean poor ability.

Capable does not necessarily mean good character.

The Du family is familiar with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and has read the books of sages. Didn't they also enclose land and oppress the people?
Yang Zheng didn't completely equate Du Shu and Du Yu with the Du family.

The nine sons of the dragon are all different.

The current Du Yu is not the head of the Du family either.

"Can the general restore the situation?" Yang Zheng asked.

Du Yu's eyes flickered for a while, and he breathed out a long mouthful of alcohol, "It's very difficult. The general is always arrogant and extravagant. After this defeat, I'm afraid he will no longer be aggressive. Although Ding Mi and his like are talented, they have no virtue. People who rule the country, the generals are surrounded by such people, and they are afraid of being defeated forever."
