Chapter Thirteen The Celebrities

"Captain!" Guo Huai dismounted and bowed with his hands in hand.

"Meet the Governor!" Both the Yongliang army and the Chinese army all bowed down.

The person who came was none other than General Zhengxi, Jiajie, and Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang.

When the army was defeated like a mountain before, Yang Zheng mainly focused on Cao Shuang and didn't pay much attention to Xia Houxuan, who was dressed in military armor. Looking at it today, he felt that the record in the ancient book "Rulangri" was really true.

The weapons and soldiers around him further enhanced his magnanimity.

During the reign of Emperor Ming, Empress Mao's younger brother Mao once sat with Xia Houxuan, and people at the time commented: "Jian Jia leans against the jade tree."

Seeing Xia Houxuan, the big stone in Yang Zheng's heart slowly fell to the ground, "Yang Zheng of Wuwei camp pays homage to the governor!"

Xia Houxuan had a sullen look on his face, "You don't know the superiority of your subordinates, but you charge into the country's general. How brave are you? Come here and hit me with thirty army sticks!"

Two soldiers behind him came out in response.

Guo Huai's expression changed, and all the cold and murderous aura just now dissipated, and he said generously: "This son has a resolute temperament and is unruffled in the face of danger. He will definitely be a good general in the future. I just tested you, why did you say that he was conflicting? Is Huai a narrow-minded person?

The governor is too worried."

After hearing this, Yang Zheng couldn't help but curse in his heart. If Xia Houxuan came a moment later, his head would probably fall to the ground.

Xia Houxuan glanced at Yang Zheng and said, "General Guo is generous, but this son does not know the etiquette of respect and inferiority, and has a rebellious attitude. If he is not polished, he will never become a great weapon."

Two soldiers strode forward and pushed Yang Zheng down.

He took the military stick and beat it down with a crackle.

Yang Zheng thought it was just a show, but he didn't expect it to be a real fight.

Everyone present watched.

Xia Houxuan is truly selfless.

But his life was not in danger after all.

Yang Zheng finished the thirty army sticks without saying a word. The two soldiers finally had a good grasp of the situation. Although it hurt, no bones were hurt.

"Are you convinced?" Xia Houxuan looked at Yang Zheng calmly.

"In the end, the general will realize his mistake and be convinced."

Strictly speaking, Xia Houxuan didn't say or do anything wrong, and he even saved his own life.

He is beating more and more to alert himself.

How could Yang Zheng be ignorant?

"What do you think, General Guo?" Xiahou Xuan asked warmly.

Guo Huai glanced at Yang Zheng lightly, "The commander-in-chief is fair and selfless, I will admire him in the end."

Xia Houxuan nodded and said: "All Chinese and foreign armies are the pillars of the Wei Dynasty. They fight for the country. How can they not enter the city after returning to the country?"

Guo Huai quickly handed over his hand and said, "Forgive me, Governor, there have been many plunderings of people in the city recently. The general wants to let the troops reorganize outside the city first, and then enter the city. He has no other intention."

"General Guo is considerate of the people. Since he has no other intention, how about letting the city go? Anyone who disturbs the people from now on will be subject to military law."

"I will obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief."

"Thank you, Commander!" the soldiers who were stopped outside the city shouted one after another.

A few words calmed the soldiers' morale.

Although Xia Houxuan was inferior in military strategy, he was fair and upright in his dealings with others, and no one dissatisfied him.

Guo Huai was more than ten years older than him. He also came from an aristocratic family, but his magnanimity was much less than his.

The style of celebrities is truly extraordinary.

If he was the one in charge, perhaps Cao Wei would not only fall into the hands of others.

After entering the city, Xia Houxuan also sent wine and food to the camps in the name of General Cao Shuang, which made everyone burst into tears of gratitude.

The next day, Yang Zheng thought Cao Shuang would summon him, so he endured the unhealed pain and scrubbed the black light armor over and over again. If it weren't for this armor, he would have died countless times on the battlefield.

However, the whole day was calm and windy, and only the defeated troops gradually withdrew from the Qinling Mountains.

Yang Zheng also thought that Cao Shuang would be promoted because of his achievements in breaking up the queen.

In the past few days, Yang Zheng has also thought clearly. He has no power and anyone can trample him to death.

With strength, you will have the ability to choose.

For three days, Cao Shuang didn't even show his face.

Yang Zheng could only rest in peace and recuperate, eating and drinking with his brothers who had returned from the siege, and he felt at ease.

In addition to Linghu Sheng, he also met two new village chiefs, Zhang Te and Zhou Yu.

One is from Zhuojun, Hebei, and the other is from Lujiang, Huainan.

They both came from rough backgrounds, had cheerful personalities, and after a few bowls of wine, they had a life-long friendship.

On the fourth day, perhaps Cao Shuang finally remembered him and sent someone to summon him.

Yang Zheng followed him in. Before he entered the door, he smelled the smell of alcohol from a distance.

Entering the hall, Cao Shuang was lying on the couch, his eyes blurred by drunkenness, holding two beauties on his left and right. Behind him was a brocade silk screen with an embroidery of a tiger descending the mountain, which was strongly inconsistent with the chaotic atmosphere in the hall.

Deng Yang, who is on the left, also holds the beauty in his arms.

Only Xia Houxuan, the one on the right, frowned and sat down, looking unhappy.

A gentleman is a gentleman. He even kneels and sits upright, without squinting, and there is no beautiful lady beside him.

There is a wine bottle in the hall, and two servants are holding long ladles to drink the wine.

"My subordinate Yang Zheng pays homage to the general."

"Xingyun, come and drink this cup together!" Cao Shuang waved his hand, and someone brought the lacquer ear cup.

The long spoon skillfully transfers the wine into the cup.

Deng Yang stared straight at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng thought to himself that he hadn't offended him, so why was he staring at him so hard?

"Thank you, General!"

After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, I felt that although the wine was mellow, it was also a bit bland.

After not seeing each other for a few days, I feel like Cao Shuang has gained a lot of weight.

Last time, he was covered by armor, but now he is wearing loose clothes, with his chest and arms exposed, and his fat body has nowhere to hide.

Cao Shuang looked Yang Zheng up and down with his drunken eyes, "To be able to fight back unscathed among thousands of troops, his courage to rise up the clouds is not inferior to that of the Tiger Marquis."

Huhou is the fierce general Xu Zhu, who has the magical power to hold an ox's tail upside down and drag it a hundred steps.

I still know how much I weigh.

If it weren't for the black light armor, the Huajing sword, and Linghu Sheng's great help, I'm afraid it would have become a puddle of meat on the battlefield.

"How dare my subordinates compare with Hu Hou? If it weren't for the general's armor and sword, would Zheng'an have survived?"

Cao Shuang chuckled twice, "Don't be arrogant when you win, but don't be discouraged when you lose. Your temperament is quite like your father's."

A figure flashed in Yang Zheng's mind.

In fact, in his confused memory, his father was not very close.

It does not coincide with the mysterious figure deep in my memory.

Cao Shuang has said so, and it seems that the reward is not far away.

Yang Zheng felt a burst of expectation in his heart.

"It's a pity that Yang You followed Sima Yi to conquer the Liao Dynasty, otherwise he would not have died in the north." Deng Yangyin said.

The atmosphere in the hall was originally quite harmonious, but Deng Yang's words were like a gust of cold wind, which immediately condensed the atmosphere.

And Cao Shuang's face became gloomier little by little.

In the second year of Jingchu, Sima Yi led Niu Jin, Hu Zun and others with 40,000 cavalry. They set out from Luoyang, passed through Guzhu and crossed Jieshi. They won three battles and three victories, defeated Xiangping, killed Gongsun Yuan, and solved the great trouble in the north of Wei in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, when Cao Shuang attacked Shu, he didn't even touch the border of Hanzhong, not to mention Yizhou. He lost troops and generals. He had an army of more than ten and only thirty or forty thousand people survived.

Deng Yang's remarks are undoubtedly pouring cold water on the situation.

"The attack on Liao was the order of the late emperor, and the Luoyang army obeyed it. As a soldier of the Wuwei camp, how could Yang You disobey the military order?" Xia Houxuan glanced at Deng Yang coldly.

Cao Shuang drank a glass of wine with a "grunt", and Mei Ji next to him docilely wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Cao Shuang said leisurely: "Xingyun has made great contributions, so I don't mind giving you any reward you want."

Yang Zheng was elated, waiting for these words.

While he was feeling proud, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Deng Yangpi's smiling face from the corner of his eye.

A bad feeling arose in my heart.

The last time he looked like this, he almost killed himself.

Looking at Cao Shuang again, he looks lazy and drunk on the surface, but in fact there is a hint of coldness hidden in the corner of his eyes!

It doesn't matter if you have no power these days, but if you don't know how to watch your actions, you will die without a burial place.

Moreover, Deng Yang deliberately mentioned his father Yang You and Sima Yi, which seemed to have a hidden secret.

Many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and he quickly knelt down on one knee, clasping his hands and saying: "What contribution do you have? It's all thanks to the power of the general to get out of trouble. I don't dare to deserve the reward. I just want to be by the side of the general."

Personal soldiers are enough!"
