contend

Chapter 424
"This must be Sima Fu's trick!" Wei Guan directly concluded, "If Tian Zhang wanted to surrender, he should have contacted us when our army captured Longyou. Why wait until now?"

Yang Zheng felt the same way.

If Chen Cang intervenes at this time, he will definitely conflict with Jiang Wei.

No matter how many quarrels there are with Shu in secret, as long as they don't tear their faces, there is a possibility of cooperation.

When Sima Zhao counterattacks in the future, the Shu army's shouting in the Qinling Mountains will also be a major support.

"So the general might as well wait and see what happens." Wei Guan advised.

Yang Zheng shook his head, "Chencang is an important town in Guanyou. If it is in the hands of the Sima clan, we will use it as a base to attack Longyou in the future."

"The general wants to take Chencang?" Du Yu said.

"Jiang Wei's advance to occupy Fufeng is actually the wing guard of our army. You might as well help Jiang Wei take down Chen Cang." In terms of military affairs, Yang Zheng still has some insights.

Without Chencang, there is a high probability that the Shu army would not be able to operate Fufeng.

He will only plunder, turn around and return to the Qinling Mountains.

With Chen Cang, Jiang Wei will have a base to go out of Guanzhong, and the forces of Shu will enter Guanzhong.

No matter how the Shu Kingdom fights internally, it is an out-and-out mortal enemy with Cao Wei.

That is to say, the Kingdom of Shu will not unite with Sima Zhao to fight against himself.

So Jiang Wei is still useful.

Du Yu quickly understood what he was thinking, while Wei Guan laughed dryly twice.

"Let Yinchun go out and ride in Guanzhong, sweep the major farms in Guanzhong, Zhou Zhi goes out to Longshan, and blocks Simawang. If Tian Zhang is sincerely attached, he will return to Longxi, and the city will belong to Jiang Wei." If you eat Longyou yourself, you should also Give Jiang Wei a sip of soup.

Two days later, news came back.

But it is not Chencang, but Yanmen.

Liu Heng's coalition forces actually broke through Yanmen, and the ministers of the grassland drove straight in, fighting against the Wang, Guo, and Liu Bao troops who came to reinforce them.

Of course, a dish of loose sand is no match for the top gatekeepers, and it is still the top gatekeepers.

Liu Bao's three thousand Hun cavalry is also quite powerful.

Liu Heng and Ma Yan withdrew to Yunzhong City. All the coalition forces were focused on looting. Naturally, they were not opponents, but they were not willing to retreat at this point.

You chase after me in Bingzhou.

In Pang Qing's reply letter, he suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to take down all the tribes in Monan, and then harass Youzhou.

Yang Zheng wrestled with the Sima family, but it was the tribes in Monan who were wiped out...

The king's orders will not be accepted, and the plan will never change quickly. How to fight is their business.

Yang Zheng sent envoys to get the three counties of Beidi, Shuofang, and Jiuyuan to cooperate fully.

Anyway, to put enough pressure on Sima Zhao, he doesn't care about Bingzhou, do you want Youzhou?Do you want Jizhou?

These areas have been operated for decades, providing the Sima family with an endless supply of food and reinforcements.

This time Qingqi's long-distance attack, Liu Heng and Pang Qing brought back enough surprises and a lot of shock to Yang Zheng.

One is thoughtful and the other is decisive.

This kind of method of massacring the city will definitely fall into the shoes of others in the future.

But then again, without this iron-blooded method, would Yunzhong and Dingxiang counties get it so easily?

War is not a treat for dinner, everyone politely exchanged cups and cups.

This is a life-and-death struggle!
When Cao Cao started his career, what immoral things did he not do?
The mainstream of this era is killing.

What's more, most of the people who died under their swords were foreigners, and the two counties of Yunzhong and Dingxiang were originally the homeland of the Han family.

After so many years of training, the youth camp has finally produced a few talents. The key point is that they are young and have a promising future.

"General, I gave birth! I gave birth!" The maid in the inner mansion came to report happily.

Yang Zheng was also overjoyed. With this child, Xia Houzhi no longer needed to frown.

"Son or daughter?"

"General, you are a son."

"Mother and child are all safe?"

"Everything is very good, everything is very good!" The maid smiled from ear to ear.

"Reward, people in the inner palace will each receive a piece of Shu brocade." Yang Zheng waved his hand.

After the trade with central Sichuan increased, Sichuan brocade and tea came flooding in like a tide.

What was exchanged was mostly gold, jade, gemstones, pepper and spices, as well as a lot of luxury items such as Putao wine and mink cloaks.

It's clear at a glance who is enjoying these things.

"Thank you, General Xie! General Xie." The maid was overjoyed.

A piece of Shu brocade was expensive, about two taels of gold, enough for their family to live comfortably for half a year.

In the entire inner palace, there are only about two hundred maids and servants, and more than 200 pieces of Shu brocade can be regarded as a reward for their hard work for so many years.

The mansion immediately laughed and laughed like flowers.

The front of Xia Houzhi's dormitory was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and a long carpet from the Western Regions was also laid.

Yang Zheng has always prohibited extravagance and waste, so he usually eats only two meat and one vegetable, and the other three women are also from hard backgrounds, so they are not too extravagant, and they are satisfied with fine clothes and meat.

The only one who is extravagant is Xia Houzhi. The Xiahou family has been famous for several generations, and it will definitely not change in a while.

Yang Zheng persuaded him many times, but Xia Houzhi restrained himself a little.

Today is a day of great joy, so I don't care about these.

Several women in the house chattered, blocking Yang Zheng from the house, saying it was unlucky.

Hearing the loud cries of babies in the house, Yang Zheng stood outside the door and giggled a few times, feeling like a big rock fell from his heart.

It is naturally taboo for a regular wife to have no sons.

After a long time, it is difficult for Xia Houzhi to sit firmly in this position.

Personally, Yang Zheng and Xia Houzhi also have a deep relationship.

Yu Gong, Liangzhou has more or less enjoyed the political dividends of Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan, and will continue to eat them.

With this relationship, the Kanto gentry will more or less sell face.

Although the Xiahouxuan clan was wiped out by the barbarians, the inheritance of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan is still there, and the Xiahou clan is still a noble family in the Kanto region.

There are also quite a few gentry who cling to each other with the Xiahou family. This is a potential force in itself. It is not used now, but it will definitely be used in the future.

Yang Zheng stayed outside the door the whole time, watching the people coming in and out, and he did business directly outside the door.

After Liangzhou Xingtai was established, there were actually not many official affairs.

There are Lu Zhi, Du Yu, and Wei Guan in government affairs, as well as large and small officials.

Several outstanding graduates from the Youth Camp are also working on the stage.

Therefore, the only thing Yang Zheng did personally was the military.

Liangzhou is different from Luoyang or Chengdu in that everything is a startup.

But because it is a start-up, there are not so many interest groups, and there are not so many burdens.

Historically, Shu has a registered population of more than 90 and a military strength of about [-], but there are as many as [-] officials...

As for Wei Guo and Wu Guo, it was even more shocking.

The larger the gentry, the more bloated the bureaucracy.

Liangzhou's bureaucratic system has always been weak, so the total number of officials is less than 3000.

This can be regarded as the advanced nature of Liangzhou.

After three days of guarding, Yang Zheng saw his son.

Xia Houzhi had a weak but happy smile on his face, and the gloom on his face finally dissipated.

The maids withdrew voluntarily.

"Husband!"

"Thank you, ma'am." Yang Zheng stroked Xia Houzhi's face.

Xia Houzhi burst into tears.

All the sorrows in my heart disappeared with these tears.
