Chapter 85
Yang Zheng was sweating coldly, "If Guo Huai pursues..."

"Guo Huai didn't cover the sky with one hand in Yongliang. Xingyun repelled the Shu army. He was a man of merit. There is no real evidence. Guo Huai dare not act rashly. Don't forget that Li Mi is a member of the general. As long as the general does not pursue it, it will be natural It's all right!" Xia Houba snorted coldly after finishing speaking, "Li Mi is narrow-minded, he doesn't know the seriousness, and it's his own fault, death is not a pity!"

Only then did Yang Zheng feel relieved, "Thank you, General."

Xia Houba's bright eyes swept over him, and he said calmly, "This is not an example."

Although the words are short, the meaning is profound.

Yang Zheng's heart trembled, "This subordinate knows."

Coming out of Xiahou's mansion, the cold sweat on Yang Zheng's back was still wet, and he felt like he was going back and forth in the gate of hell these few days.

Fortunately, the crisis is temporarily lifted.

It's just that the luck component is a bit big.

In fact, when Xia Houba asked Li Mi whether he was dead or alive, Yang Zheng's first reaction was to lie to him, and the words came to his lips, and he took them back.

Back in Fanghan, Zhang Te, Zhou Yu, Zhao Aqi, Gongsun Fu and others all came to plead guilty.

Zhang Te was ashamed. Yang Zheng entrusted Fanghan to him when he went out to fight, but he made such a big mess.

However, there are specialties in the art industry, and no one is perfect.

In the nearly one month since Yang Zheng left, Fanghan had changed his appearance.

The city wall was raised by ten feet, and the turrets were filled with rolling stones, lumber, and kerosene.

From west to south, a two-foot-wide moat was dug along the Lishui River.

Yang Zheng didn't bother to blame anyone, they had already done a good job, Yang Zheng thought of a classic line in later TV dramas, it's not that our army is incompetent, but that people are too cunning...

Not only cunning, but also deadly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Yang Zheng said in person that the crisis had been resolved.

"This incident revealed many flaws. First, we did not have enough control over Fanghan. The enemy had been lurking in the city for many days without us noticing it. Second, the brothers were not vigilant enough, and their methods needed to be strengthened. The enemy is even more brutal. Third, the news is not well informed, the art of war is well-known, knowing yourself and the enemy will not imperil you in a hundred battles. From now on, we will send spies to Didao, Jincheng, Nan'an, Tianshui, Chang'an and other places."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Zheng made a small summary.

You can't always pass by luck, luck is unreliable.

It is not terrible to have a problem, but it is terrible if you do not know how to sum up the problem.

Gongsunfu and Zhao Ahqi cupped their hands and said, "This subordinate knows what to do!"

Yang Zheng thought of Feng Qi, who was called a merchant, but was actually the eyeliner of a certain bigwig in the northwest.

The most brilliant news in this era is merchants.

In the future, if conditions permit, it is still necessary to form a caravan, which can not only spread to Yongliang, but also go deep into Qiang.

"How will the new Qiang people be accommodated?" Zhang Te asked.

Since Han Wu opened up the Hexi Corridor, the Qiang people became a problem that the Central Plains Dynasty had to face.

Zhao Chongguo, a famous general of a generation, pioneered the method of reclamation. Wherever the Han army pushed, the fields were planted there.

The Qiang people were all attached to the Han army when they had food to eat.

In the great chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, ten rooms and nine empties in Zhongtu, Wei Wu rose up with a whip, but faced with the ruins of "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles".

Wei Wu adopted the strategy of Zaozhi and Han Hao, and issued the order of garrisoning the fields: the art of the husband to establish the country is to strengthen the army and have enough food.

In a few years, the warehouses are full.

Sima Yi was able to secure a firm seat in Yongliang back then, because he opened up farmland, built water conservancy, opened national canals, built Linjin River from Chencang to Huaili, and diverted more than [-] hectares of land from Luoluo to irrigate the bittern.

In the third year of Qinglong, there was a famine in the Kanto. Sima Yi transported 500 million dendrobium millet to Luoyang, the capital, and the world praised it.

The biggest problem for ancient dynasties was whether they could have enough food.

"Choose the young and strong as the army, and the rest will be incorporated into the reclamation. All the young and strong in the reclamation will set up farming camps and be controlled by military law. They will work as farmers when they are busy, and teach the methods of battle in their spare time. Sixty percent of the income will go to the public and [-] percent will go to private .” Yang Zheng said his idea that he had been brewing for a long time.

"Is [-]% too much? The reclamation in Nan'an, Tianshui and other places, [-]% goes to the public, and [-]% goes to private people." Zhou Yu reminded.

Farmers in this era were almost like slaves.

In some places, even [-]% is divided.

However, the situation in Longxi was different from that in the Central Plains. How could the Qiang people be willing to sacrifice their lives if they didn't give some sweets to the Qiang people?
"Not much, let them eat enough so that we can use our peace of mind!" Yang Zheng explained.

"However, some of the Qiang people in Hexi are good at animal husbandry, but not good at farming." Zhou Yu thought about the problem more thoroughly.

"Then set up another pastoral camp, the same as the agricultural camp, under the military law, and all the brothers in the old camp will be dispersed to manage the Qiang camp, the scorpion camp, the agricultural camp, and the pastoral camp!"

Although the Shu army only lost more than 2000 people, it is not so easy to train the elite of the Hubu battalion.

With Fei Yi, Jiang Wan and Dong Yun around, Wei and Shu should not be able to start a war in the next few years.

The Yin camp plus the Qiang camp is enough.

Afterwards, they discussed for another two hours before finalizing various details.

But it is not implemented right now, but depends on how the imperial court rewards Yang Zheng.

The most important thing right now is the autumn harvest.

The farmland along the Taoshui River was destroyed by the Shu army, and the weather was calm.

At the moment the wheat in the field is heavy.

It looks like gold on both sides of the Lishui River.

All the Qiang people around were jealous, but no one dared to make a move.

In the past, when he first arrived, Yang Zheng had to do everything by himself, wishing he could eat and drink with the soldiers, but now that his prestige and reputation have been established, he doesn't have to worry about everything.

Properly keeping a distance from your subordinates can also increase your majesty.

And doing everything by yourself is not conducive to cultivating subordinates.

The autumn harvest was handed over to Zhou Yu, the city defense was handed over to Zhang Te, and the training was handed over to the veterans.

Yang Zheng made inspections every day, checking for omissions and filling vacancies.

Carloads of grain were transported into the city, regardless of Qiang or Han, the look of surprise on their faces disappeared a lot.

Training and working harder.

Yang Zheng personally escorted the cart and gave Jiang Faye [-] shi of grain, while the other tribes received [-] shi of grain.

The Battle of Taoshui, without Jiang Faye's great help, Yang Zheng would have most likely lost his battle.

Moreover, Xia Houba has clearly stated that the imperial court will not reward the Qiang people.

Yang Zheng felt a little sorry for his friend.

Jiang Faye didn't care, "The weather is getting colder, and our department is going to move to the south valley. With these grains, this year will be better."

The logging department lives as a nomad and lives by water and grass.

If you leave this year, you may not be able to see it next year.

There are many tribes in the Qiang land, and they merged with each other.

The Qiang tribe in Hexi enters a state of combat readiness as soon as autumn comes, either robbing others or being robbed by others.

The logging department is a small tribe, and now that they have food, it is impossible not to be missed by others.

"You don't need to go to the south. Although the city of Fuhan is small, it's not difficult to accommodate your wilderness division." Yang Zheng invited.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Farye said: "Yang Duwei accepted it kindly, but our department migrates like this every year. There is still a village in Mingyue Gorge to the south of the big river. If you don't go back this year, it will be taken over by others next year."

I don't know if the killing of those Qiang chieftains made Jiang Faye feel jealous.

Or maybe it was following him. After the bloody battle, he didn't see the reward, so his heart was already cold.

After the battle in Yanzhong, Yang Zheng hadn't caught his breath yet, and he encountered Li Mi again, so he didn't have time to appease Jiang Faye...

Some gaps, once created, are difficult to bridge.

Some things cannot be forced after all.
