Chapter 81 Secret Letter
Hearing that Guo Huai was still alive, Yang Zheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Xia Houba was extremely excited, Yang Zheng's meritorious deeds are also equal to his meritorious deeds.

If he and Deng Zhong hadn't stopped him, Jiang Wei would have calmly cleaned up the battlefield, and Xiahouba and Guo Huai would have lost their skins even if they didn't die.

Thinking of Deng Zhong, I don't know what happened to him.

This victory was a bit reluctant. The Wei army should have far more casualties than the Shu army, including the casualties of the Qiang people.

If it wasn't for Deng Zhong to hold back the tiger infantry's attack head-on, he wouldn't have much chance.

The Shu army gave Yang Zheng the feeling that he didn't want to fight to the death.

In the afternoon, the casualties of each army were counted.

Xiahouba was the worst. He was besieged for days and no one rescued him. In the final battle, he could barely see hope, but it was a trap. He suffered 700 casualties, and most of the [-] elite went away immediately.

Followed by Deng Zhong, half of the two thousand infantry casualties.

In a cold weapon war, one-fifth of the casualties was in danger of the collapse of the entire army, but Deng Zhongjun held on to it.

More than [-] Qiang people under Yang Zheng's command were directly killed, and almost everyone who survived was injured.

There are fewer and fewer old soldiers in the Wuwei camp. There were more than 240 people in the past, but now there are only [-] people left.

Yang Zheng's heart was bleeding.

Some things are hard to add after all.

The veterans have experienced the cruelest bloody battles. They have tenacious temperaments, high fighting spirits, and tenacious wills.

The one with the least casualties was Guo Huai, a veteran general who almost participated in most of the battles against Shu. He could tell just by looking at the strength of the Tiger Army.

Yesterday, when I saw the Shu army abandoning the camp without fighting, I became vigilant and ordered the forwards to be vigilant.

Together with the fire, quickly exit the battlefield.

There were only three hundred casualties.

They took away the more than [-] corpses and wounded left by the Shu army.

Compared with the Luogu War, it is now considered a victory.

The land of Yongliang needs a morale boost.

Guo Huai was very politically savvy and publicized it. Yang Zheng and Deng Zhong were both included in the awards.

Xia Houba was trapped for many days and resented Guo Huai for seeing him dead. Now that he was burned again, he naturally wouldn't go to Guo Huai's celebration banquet.

If the boss doesn't go, Yang Zheng can't go either.

After discussing with each other, they restrained the body and headed back to Di Dao City.

"This time the credit is so great, the imperial court rarely talks about awarding a partial general." After experiencing this battle, Xia Houba took a higher look at Yang Zheng, and his tone of voice was much gentler.

Generals of the Wei State belong to the fifth grade, and are usually conferred by the emperor or the general.

Higher than school lieutenants and generals, lower than miscellaneous generals.

When Xu Huang and Zhang He first came from Wei Wu, they both held this position, and then they were promoted based on merit.

Cao Wei has always attached great importance to military merits. After all, now that the Three Kingdoms are standing together, a large number of outstanding generals are needed.

Xu Zhi was originally a small soldier in the army, but because of his bravery, he was promoted by Guo Huai as a school lieutenant.

The Cao Shuang Group has just experienced a disastrous defeat by Luo Gu, and now Yang Zheng and Xia Houba's small victory can be called timely assistance, enough to save them some face.

Yang Zheng rejoiced in his heart, "Thank you, General, but the leader of the Qiang people, Jiang Faye, contributed a lot to repel the Shu thieves this time."

Yang Zheng originally wanted to ask for credit for Jiang Faye.

Just started, Xia Houba reminded in a low voice: "This person...you can just reward some money at that time. If some people in the court know that you are asking for credit for the Qiang chief, it will cause a lot of trouble."

trouble?

Cao Wei Zhiyi suppressed with his left hand and pulled him in with his right.

Although it is sometimes lost in the light, the means are superb, and the sense of proportion is very good.

There are Qiang soldiers in the army, but there are no barbarian generals.

When Wang Ping was in the Wei army, he was excluded because of his status as a concubine.

As far as Yang Zheng knew, the scholar-bureaucrats of this era discriminated against barbarians quite a bit.

The Qiang people rebelled from time to time and surrendered at other times, so naturally the court and the central government would not trust them easily.

Yang Zheng roughly figured out the way to do it, knowing Xia Houba's kindness, so he didn't force it anymore. Whether he can get this Yamen is still a matter of opinion.

Xiahouba was in such a good mood that he ignored the burns on his body and talked a lot with Yang Zheng.

He Hui and other generals looked at Yang Zheng differently.

There was always that tinge of jealousy before.

Now it's respect.

When he reached Didao, before he entered the city, Gongsun Fu had already greeted him outside the city.

Looking a little anxious.

Yang Zheng apologized to Xia Houba and found a private place to talk.

Gongsun Fu took out two bamboo slips from his pocket.

"The general is on the top, and I will bow down a hundred times. Longxi has always been peaceful. When Yang Zheng came suddenly, the chickens and dogs were restless. Before the Qiang people rebelled, and later there were Shu thieves. , His heart is really treacherous. General Xiahou was confused by his words and couldn't detect it. Zheng then intensified and secretly married the Qiang people, always harboring the ambition of Dong Zhuo! I hope the general will stop quickly..."

After reading the letter, Yang Zheng smiled instead of angry.

This guy Li Mi is really an old birthday star who hanged himself, he thinks his life is too long.

Originally, he thought that if there was no war in Wu, he would be allowed to die for the country with honor.

Unexpectedly, the Qiang people stood still and the Shu army was only wandering in Taoshui.

Knotting the Qiang people secretly, always cherishing the ambition of Dong Zhuo!

This sentence was sent up, and Deng Yang and Li Sheng added fuel and vinegar by the side, what would Cao Shuang do?
Even if you don't manage yourself, the credit for defeating the Shu army will definitely be gone.

The second bamboo slip, with similar content but with minor differences, was given to Guo Huai.

Li Mi took great pains to kill herself.

This letter is three parts true and seven parts false. If the higher-ups really sent someone down to investigate, they would definitely have preconceived the letter when they saw the Qiang and Di people in the city of Fanghan.

The key itself is not really clean.

"This letter is well written." Yang Zheng couldn't help but praise a few words.

Gongsun Fu said: "Six people were caught by us three times before and after, and no one escaped."

"Okay." Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, Li Mi had already reached the point where he had to be removed.

Even if he was let go, if he secretly ties up Qiang people with one word today, but with Dong Zhuo's ambitions tomorrow, how can he live if the word spreads out?
But this guy also has some vision.

Yang Zheng didn't have a clear plan for the road ahead.

Secretly tied to the Qiang people, always cherishing the ambition of Dong Zhuo, but pointed out a bright way.

If you want to strengthen yourself, you must go the way of the Central Plains.

Without a family background, it is difficult to move an inch.

But the Qiang people don't care about their family background, they always respect heroes.

In fact, the biggest credit for being able to repel the Shu people this time lies with the Qiang people.

If you can unite them like Dong Zhuo and Han Sui, in this troubled world, you will have capital that is not controlled by others.

Even if the Sima clan usurps Cao Wei and wants to liquidate himself, he still needs to weigh it.

"You did a good job, I'm going to bid farewell to General Xiahou."

Xia Houba originally wanted to keep Yang Zheng for a banquet, but the troops in Didaocheng suffered the most casualties. There were already mournful voices in the city, and the surviving soldiers were all listless.
Xia Houba himself was in a waning mood, so he didn't try to keep him.

Before leaving, he gave Yang Zheng a lot of money and food.
