Chapter 339
Three days later, Zheng Pu came to the prime minister's house again.

This time, the guard on duty outside did not stop him, nor did he enter to report. Instead, he stretched out his hand and said falsely, "The prime minister knows that the military division will come, so I told you that I don't need to notify you, and the military division can enter by itself."

"Thank you."

Gently nodding his head to signal, Zheng Pu felt a little tired when he stepped in.

Concerning the struggle between the prime minister's officials and assistants, Fu Qian had already told him the whole story that night: it was because of Yang Yi's harsh official history and false assistants, insulting Dong Jue for joining the army, and staying behind in many military affairs.

Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Zheng Pu.

But what is speechless is that the cause of Yang Yi's bewilderment was that after Zheng Pu was promoted to post-military adviser, his official position and authority overwhelmed Yang Yi, who had been an official earlier and thought he was talented, which made him resentful and angry. Dazed.

It's an innocent disaster.

Now no one knows how the prime minister will deal with Yang Yi's fault; but everyone knows that the prime minister who deserves to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds and punished for his deeds will never be negligent in enforcing the law.

After all, the disagreement between Yang Yi and Wei Yan earlier was a dispute of spirits, and it would not delay affairs.

But now Yang Yi can be regarded as abolishing the public because of private interests.

And humiliated his colleagues!
"Pu, meet the prime minister."

Pushing open the door and entering, Zheng Pu bowed and bowed, "It's a good luck that Pu did not disgrace his life as an envoy to Sun Wu."

The prime minister in the office was sitting at the table behind the desk, reading the files with a pen.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and showed a smile, and said jokingly, "Zijin's mission is not limited to humiliating fate and evil? Take Wu Lord Sun Zhongmou's Taichu Palace to remonstrate that the emperor should be stingy with people's power, and use 'Sun Wuqian' to start The opening up of frontiers was the battle of Xiangfan in the past', so that the Shen family of Wujun came here to vote, isn't it an achievement!"

It seems that the Son of Heaven has already written a book to inform Dong Yun about rewarding Dong Yun's advice and appointing Shen You.

But this is not surprising.Today, the son's respect for the prime minister is really more than the verbal title of "father of the prime minister".

After saying that, the Prime Minister didn't wait for Zheng Pu's answer, he continued to bury his head in the desk, and said, "Sit down, Zijin, and wait for me for a while. There is the recent military situation in Hexi on the right seat, let's take a look."

"promise."

Responding softly, Zheng Pu moved and sat down on the side, and laid out the general's love cloth one by one on the record, carefully reading it.

The military newspapers in these few days are similar to the ones he saw when he first returned to Longyou.

Only two things are new.

One is that the scouts found out that Liu Gaoshengyuan from the right side of the Southern Huns had already arrived at Helan Mountain; while Liu Bao from the left side had already sent some tribesmen into Xiu Tuze to seize the pasture.

Coincidentally, the pasture occupied by Liu Bao was previously allocated by Jia Xu to the Kewu and Hu Bojuzizhi tribes.

Because of the many Qianghu tribes living in Xiutuze, they chose not to help each other in this battle.

Although they were previously intimidated by Zheng Pu's Beijing and sent envoys to pay tribute to them willingly as vassals, after hearing that Wei Guo would fight in the future, he rejected Fei Yi's goodwill of recruiting them into the counties and counties to avoid the war on the grounds that they could not leave the old land.

Perhaps, they also know that if they enter the Dahan County, they will be reduced to being incorporated lambs.

Fei Yao of the Wei State sent envoys to recruit them to join the expedition and was also rejected, but in order not to be coerced by the Wei State to attack the Southern Huns, he gave up some pastures for Liu Bao to live in.

And in order to avoid being implicated by the war between the Han and Wei dynasties, these Qiang and Hu tribes who had been constantly disputed on weekdays actually made an alliance with blood.

Zheng Pu couldn't help being a little funny about this.

The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.

Having become the "fish in the pond" in the flames of war between the Han and Wei Dynasties, they still want to continue their old independence. Isn't it just a dream?
If the big man wins, will Xiu Tuze be left without a master and become a hidden danger in the future?And if Wei Guo wins, how can Liu Bao not annex them to increase the strength of the tribe?
Unless they flee to Mobei!
However, in terms of the fact that there are not many cavalry pawns in the Han Dynasty at this time, and they are unable to take control of Xiu Tuze, it is a good thing as long as they do not attach to Wei State.

On the other hand, facing Sun Wu's army from Jingxiang and Huaiyou, Wei's Guanzhong army did not move.

On the contrary, Luoyang's central army is gathering, and it seems that Cao Rui intends to rush to the aid of Huaiyou himself.

Seeing this, Zheng Pu smiled brightly.

If against Wei Cao Rui really personally supervised the army to rush to Huaiyou, I fear that Sun Quan will really act according to the plan he offered.

At that time, once Sun Quan slams east and west and turns to attack Jingxiang with all his strength, it is absolutely impossible for the Guanzhong army who rebelled against Wei to be peaceful, and the pressure on the big man will be greatly reduced!
Oh, very good!

"Does Zijin think that Sun Wu will attack Jingxiang with all his strength?"

The Prime Minister, who did not know when he had finished writing the case, saw Zheng Pu laughing, so he asked aloud.

"Back to Prime Minister, Pu thought there might be a [-]% chance."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu's smile remained undiminished, and he cupped his hands and answered, "However, even though Sun Wu did not have the courage to break the boat, but he sent troops, and it was because of my big man that he attracted the forces against Wei Luoyang."

"Um"

The prime minister nodded slightly, and skipped it with a nasal sound.

Perhaps, in the prime minister's mind, he didn't have much hope for Sun Wu of the Communist League.

Then he asked about the war in Hexi, "Zijin, the dispatcher of the various ministries in Hexi, already knows about it. I wonder if there is any helpful advice?"

When asked this time, Zheng Pu said solemnly, "Prime Minister, the difficulty of our war in Hexi of the Great Han Dynasty lies in the lack of cavalry, not the shortage of people. That's why Pu has no other thoughts."

"Yes, but the use of the country is not evil!"

Involuntarily, the prime minister let out a long sigh, but immediately expressed his original intention, "When it comes to the lack of cavalry, I have a thought."

Without waiting for Zheng Pu to ask questions, he continued, "Since the Shaodangzhong Qiang outside Xiping County became my vassal of the Han Dynasty, they have become much stronger thanks to the exchange of supplies over the past few years. I intend to enlist them to send troops according to the old court rules. To aid in the war, I just don’t know if this move will lead them to follow the story of the Southern Huns’ rebellion in the past.”

The rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu refers to the rebellion of the Qiang in the Northwest when Emperor Ling was in power, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan in the northern Xinjiang caused disasters. Therefore, the imperial court often sent the Southern Xiongnu to help in the war.The nobles of the Southern Xiongnu feared that the imperial court would have no choice but to mobilize them, so they ganged up and killed the Qiangqu Shanyu who obeyed Lingdi's orders, and set up a new Shanyu to rebel against the great Han.

After Zheng Pu listened to it, he heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning.

The prime minister deliberately asked him to meet with Xihai (Qinghai), the habitat of the Shaodang Qiang, to see if he could persuade the Qiang King Mangzhong to send troops to help the war.Because it was Ma Dai and Zheng Pu who were the first to burn the Qiang king Mangzhong into the Han Dynasty to fight against the Wei Dynasty.Now, Ma Dai is far away in Hexi, and the military affairs are cumbersome and cannot be separated. Zheng Pu is the best candidate.

As for why the prime minister didn't say it clearly, it was because Zheng Pu had another consideration.

Zheng Pu slaughtered prisoners and built a Beijing temple in Hexi, which is an invisible deterrent!
No matter how powerful Shaodangzhong Qiang was, Qiang King Mangzhong had to consider the consequences of rejecting Zheng Pu.

Naturally, considering such considerations, how could the prime minister explain it face to face?

"Prime Minister, Pu would like to go to the West Sea to talk about the Qiang King Mangzhong."

Immediately, Zheng Pu begged for his order, and said with emotion, "Even if Pu can't make him send troops to help in the battle, he can still make him feel angry."
