Chapter 51 Breaking the Front
In 630, the addition of seven people filled Yang Zheng's staff.

At last he looked like a captain.

For the first three days, Yang Zheng entertained them with good wine and good meat to relieve their pain of leaving their hometown.

After that, they were incorporated into infantry and trained by themselves.

Yang Zheng participated in the march with heavy loads and the sword and shield drill.

I do my best to teach everyone, whether it is the inconvenience in life or training, I ask them one by one, eat and sleep together, that is to say, like a father and brother.

In just half a month, I became one with them.

Yang Zheng promoted six brave men to be the head of the village, and selected 20 people as his own soldiers.

The hard work was finally not in vain, and he won the admiration of the people, and some people directly called Yang Zheng "Brother" in his free time.

Yang Zheng was actually not a few years older than them.

However, as a human being in two lifetimes, his knowledge and disposition are far different from ordinary people.

These people already have some background, they often shoot and kill tigers in the mountains, and they are very good at hand-to-hand combat.

Whenever I am in high spirits, I will dance with a staff and sing with a loud voice.

After inquiry, I learned that this dance is called Bayu Dance, which evolved from fighting with beast enemies.

Yang Zheng saw that when they danced, their bodies were vigorous and their steps were light and nimble, which was quite suitable for the battle formation, so he also danced together.

After jumping a lot, I suddenly felt that the sword technique was of great benefit.

So carefully study the moves in it, and improve step by step.

Yang Zheng's comprehension is not bad, and he is willing to work hard, gradually mastering the essence of it.

Combining the eight Pofeng styles seen on the Internet in later generations, whichever is more vigorous and simplified, we compiled a set of knife techniques. There are only five styles, and I don’t bother to change the name.

If you fight alone, it is certainly a bit crude.

But if it is used by hundreds or thousands of people on the battlefield, the power will be extraordinary.

Yang Zheng tried it with a wooden stick, and the team who knew how to break the front five was obviously better than the team who couldn't, and this was even if they were not fully proficient.

Yang Zheng promoted it to the whole army.

More than four hundred cavalry also learned it.

Even the 43 children followed suit, and even if they couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, they could still keep fit.

With Yang Zheng's efforts, Jinren gradually adapted to military life.

With the end of the alliance of various ethnic groups, Longxi gradually stabilized, and the escaped Han people returned one after another.

Fanghan City finally regained some vitality.

Yang Zheng opened up land reclamation in the upper and lower reaches of the Li River, renting cattle and farm tools for free, and everyone was very happy.

A small group of Qiang people in the west took the initiative to move inward, seeking asylum from Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng naturally couldn't ask for more.

With the population, there will be demand. Merchants from Jincheng County in the north and Anding County in the east also appeared in the city.

Qiang people's livestock and animal skins were also exchanged with Han people for grain in the city.

Fanghan City is located at the junction of Qiang, Hexi, and Longxi, where various ethnic groups are mixed and can be cultivated and herded. Historically, it was an important military town in the west from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Yang Zheng has no bad habits of racial or racial discrimination, as long as he does business honestly, he will not refuse anyone.

Watching a dead city gradually prosper under his own hands, Yang Zheng was full of pride.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

A horse came from the east and called Yang Zheng back to Di Daocheng.

After thinking about it, at this point in time, nothing major should happen, and I don't know why Xia Houba summoned him.

It happened that Yang Zheng also needed [-] pieces of armor. After entrusting Zhang Te with the affairs of the city, he led forty soldiers to Didao.

Without the chaos of war, Didao is also returning to life.

Xia Houba practiced martial arts and trained soldiers, and he was fair and upright, with a bold personality, and gradually won the support of the various clans, and his popularity in Longyou greatly increased.

As soon as he saw Yang Zheng, Xia Houba said cordially: "General Guo summoned all the generals to discuss matters."

Second Monk Yang Zhengzhang is puzzled, Guo Huai is looking for you to discuss matters, what are you doing with me?
In the land of Yongliang, Yang Zheng was most afraid of hearing Guo Huai's name.

Xia Houba glanced at Li Mi, Li Mi coughed twice and said: "Last time when we surveyed and quelled the Qiang Rebellion, a certain person wrote two documents, one was sent to Xiahou Dudu, and the other was sent to Guo Inspector. The credit is not small, and it is also included in the list, this time General Guo summoned the generals in Longyou to discuss matters, and specifically asked Yang Duwei to go with him by name."

Like a basin of ice water being poured from the top of the head.

Yang Zheng looked at Li Mi in a daze.

I wonder if there is a problem with this person's position?It is my duty to report clearly to Xia Houxuan, but is it necessary to add my name to Guo Huai in every detail?

Suddenly his heart moved, did he want to deal with himself?

Li Mi still looks like a loyal and honest scholar, the more he looks like this, the more powerful he is at deceiving people.

No, how did he know that he had a problem with Guo Huai?Have you secretly investigated your own details?
This possibility is too great.

Yang Zheng's scalp tingled suddenly.

As a captain himself, he is not qualified to attend Guo Huai's discussion at all.

But Guo Huai's order, do you dare to disobey it?
It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Yang Zheng took a deep look at Li Mi, then cupped his hands at Xia Houba and said, "This subordinate obeys the order."

Xia Houba said intentionally or unintentionally: "Okay, you go to the building to rest for one night, and leave tomorrow, I will be here, so you don't need to worry about it."

Yang Zheng was moved, "Thank you, General."

At dawn the next day, Yang Zheng was fully dressed, and Xia Houba, Li Mi, He Hui and other 300 soldiers rode eastward together.

The atmosphere along the way was a bit weird, Xia Houba remained silent, most of the other generals were also silent, and Yang Zheng followed at the end.

Only Li Mi chattered about mountains and rivers, geography, and military affairs, as if he wanted to improve the atmosphere.

But Xia Houba's face was sullen, and everyone was unwilling to speak.

Xiahouba let everyone lead the way, but he fell behind and rode alongside Yang Zheng.

"Xingyun knows that Li Sima is Li Sheng's younger brother."

Li Sheng?

It turned out to be the case.

At the beginning, it was Li Sheng, Deng Yang and others who tried their best to encourage Cao Shuang to attack Shu.

But at that time, Yang Zheng's attention was all on Cao Shuang, Deng Yang, and Xia Houxuan, and he didn't pay much attention to Li Sheng.

Li Mi is his younger brother, so of course he can easily know his details.

"Thank you, General, for reminding me." Yang Zheng said gratefully.

Xiahouba nodded and said nothing more.

With just one sentence, Yang Zheng knew that Xia Houba regarded himself as his true confidant.

With such a good opportunity, Yang Zheng thought of the unsolved doubt in his heart, "Does the general know my father?"

"Of course I know. Your father, Yang You, is a descendant of Cao Zidan. Back then, his swordsmanship was famous in the army. If Zidan hadn't died young, your father would have become a general." Xia Houba regretted.

"Swordsmanship?" Yang Zheng was surprised.

The thin figure in memory was actually a master of swordsmanship.

But why was Cao Shuang disliked?
Judging from Xia Houba's expression, it seems that he knows this too.

There are many famous swordsmen in the Han and Wei dynasties. After Wang Yue, there was Shi A, and after Shi A, there was Deng Zhan. Even Emperor Wen Cao Pi was also a generation of famous swordsmen.

Liu Bei, the former lord of Shu, was also a master of the sword, and Gu Ying's swordsmanship was passed down to the world.

The most ferocious is Ma Chao, with a long spear on his horse and a long sword on his horse. It is rumored that he once fought five rebel generals with his hands, killing two and fleeing three.

Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead. Unless you ask Cao Shuang himself, you will never be able to figure out this kind of thing.

While the two were talking, Li Mi deliberately slowed down, landed beside the two, and said shyly, "General, the street pavilion is ahead."

Xia Houba's expression changed, "Oh? So fast?"

Li Mi laughed and said: "Back then when Zhuge Kongming attacked Longxi in the north, he used Ma Di to guard this place, but was defeated by General Zhang He, and the Shu people..."

"The order is to camp here." Xia Houba directly interrupted Li Mi's words.
