"The Governor must make the decision for us. That Yang Zheng is as cruel as a wolf, bullying men and women, and taking away my family property. The people of Xiping would like to bury his skin, tear off his bones, and eat his flesh raw."

Guo Chang led a group of Guo family members to kneel in front of the Yongliang Governor's Mansion.

There was heavy snow in the sky, and I knelt down in the ice water and shivered.

Guo Yun and other injured people were lying straight in front of the gate.

A group of female relatives howled at the top of their lungs, and several children also howled in cooperation.

It made the front of Yongliang Governor's Mansion very lively.

There was such a big movement, and the surrounding people did not take shelter from the wind and snow, rushing to watch the excitement.

"Guo Gongcao, why are you doing this? The governor has sent people to Xiping to inquire." The concierge heard this and comforted him.

Unexpectedly, it caused even louder cries.

"Why are you asking? The governor directly captured this traitor and beheaded him in the street. He returned my Guo family and brought justice to the people of Xiping."

It was as if the Guo family had practiced it.

When Guo Chang spoke, everyone was silent. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately covered his chest and stamped his feet and burst into tears.

The sense of rhythm is quite well grasped.

On a cold day, the concierge wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Guo Gongcao..."

Before the words could be spoken, his voice was drowned in howls.

In the inner hall, Xia Houxuan was immersed in the papers, disturbed by the ubiquitous crying.

At the right time, Xia Houzhi came in with a cup of hot tea and said, "Father, I don't care. After all, the Guo family is the Queen Mother's natal family. If word spreads, it will also damage the reputation of my Xiahou family."

Xia Houxuan took the hot tea and handed a bamboo slip to Xia Houzhi, "See for yourself."

Xia Houzhi spread out the bamboo slips, her bright eyes flashed, and after a moment, there was a smile on her lips, "This Yang Xingyun was the first to complain. Not only did he rob someone else's family property, but he also accused the Guo family of corpses and a vegetarian meal, wine bags and rice bags."

"The Qiang and Hu are in turmoil, but Longxi, Anxi, and Nan'an are all safe and sound. In Duxi, Pingcheng has been destroyed, and the people have been plundered by thieves. How can the Guo family be unimpeded?"

Hearing that his father seemed to be leaning towards Yang Zheng, Xia Houzhi burst out laughing, "It must be Yang Xingyun who deliberately threw trouble on his father."

Xia Houxuan, who was usually serious about his words, now curled up into a smile.

Xia Houxuan clasped his hands behind his back and walked a few steps imitating Xia Houxuan's past appearance, "However, if we don't squeeze out the Guo family, we will definitely not be Zhong Qiang's match with Xi Ping's tiredness. Yang Xingyun will boast about Haikou in front of his father. Years later, the troubles of Zhong Qiang will be put to rest."

"Could it be that Lan Pei is pleading for Yang Xingyun?" Xia Houxuan couldn't help teasing.

Only in front of his daughter did Xia Houxuan show rare gentleness.

A red cloud flew up to his face unknowingly. Xiahou stamped his feet and said, "Father, what my daughter said is true."

Xia Houxuan said with a serious face: "The Qiang rebelled indiscriminately. Guo Jian, the governor of Xiping, did not think about protecting the land and the people. He took his family and abandoned Luoyang, which caused Xiping to overthrow the thieves. If it were not for the protection of the Queen Mother Guo, Guo Jian would not be able to escape the blame. Since the Guo family If it doesn’t work, then let’s replace him with someone else. Yang Xingyun can keep peace in Xi’an and suppress the Qiang and Hu. Some means are insignificant. If I can use him, I can tolerate him.”

"If Empress Dowager Guo blames her, wouldn't it hurt my father?" Xia Houzhi asked worriedly.

"I'm afraid Queen Mother Guo doesn't have time to take care of things in the west." Xia Houxuan stood up, "I'm afraid things are going to change in Luoyang."

Xiahou Zhi'e frowned, "The general wants to threaten the emperor?"

"Uncle Zhao was associated with the likes of Deng Yang, Yan Ding and Ding Mi. How could he tolerate a woman taking over the power? Guo Jian retreated in the face of danger and Xiping was corrupted. This is his crime."

"Forgive my daughter for speaking frankly. The general is a mediocre person who does what Yihuo did. He does not practice virtue and fails to measure his capabilities. He steals a high position and is bound to have a big disaster..."

"I have repeatedly advised Zhao Boyan to recruit talented people, but it's a pity that Zhao Boy didn't listen." Xia Houxuan sighed softly.

"With the nature of a general, even if his father is by his side, he can't do anything. If the general overthrows, it will bring disaster to the Marquis of Xia..."

"Shut up." Xia Houxuan was solemn and steady, never getting angry easily, but the calmer he was, the more majestic he became.

Xia Houzhi cupped her hands: "My daughter made a mistake."

Xia Houxuan said: "The national situation is difficult, how can a father avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?"

Both father and daughter were silent for a while until crying came from outside.

But the crying gradually stopped.

Xia Houxuan thought that the Guo family was suffering from frostbite.

I sent someone to check on me and found out that it was cold and the Guo family had dispersed on their own.

Chang'an is located in a plain, where the north wind blows unstoppably.

But Xidu is surrounded by mountains, and the Qilian Mountains block the cold north wind.

Therefore, Xidi is slightly warmer than Chang'an.

Yang Zheng agreed to send troops, but when to send troops was very important.

Yang Zheng was not very interested in sending troops to Qin and Hu, but he was very interested in sending troops to the Western Sea.

However, at present, all the people who can be used are sent out to perform their respective duties.

There is only one Liu Heng left.

You can't send him there, can you?

Of course, there are also Shao Tixi and Du Bin.

One of these two people is a barbarian, and the other is unreliable.

Du Yu said: "I recommend one person to go with Shao Tixi."

Yang Zheng's first reaction was Du Bin, after all, they are cousins.

"Who?"

"Meng Guan."

I almost forgot about him. The three most outstanding people in the Qingying camp are Liu Heng, Meng Guan, and Su Hong.

Liu Heng is a good player on the battlefield.

Meng Guan should not be bad either.

Young people should always be given a chance to experience.

Compared with a reckless man like Liu Heng, Meng Guan is capable of both literary and military skills and should be more flexible.

After entering the Western Capital, Meng Guan, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, was thirsty for knowledge and admired Du Yu's talents and learning, and became very close to him.

"Summon Meng Guan to see you."

Not long after, the soldiers came in with a young man.

Although he is fifteen or sixteen years old and not as tall as Liu Heng, he has a heroic spirit between his brows, his eyes are lively, and he has a calm demeanor, "Meet the General."

"Get up." The more Yang Zheng looked at it, the happier he became. A hero should be called a young man like him. "I want to use you to lead troops out of the West Sea. How should you do it?"

The famous Cao Wei general Li Dian was promoted to Zhonglang General at the age of sixteen.

Meng Guan stood up, thought for a while and raised his hands, saying: "Secretly surrender to the Qiang and Hu, act according to the opportunity, drive out wolves and devour tigers, and recruit Qiang and Hu warriors for your own use. When the general raises his troops to the west, and cooperates with the inside and outside, the West Sea can be recovered."

Yang Zheng forgot to take a look at Du Yu and suspected that it was Du Yu who taught him.

However, Du Yu's face was filled with surprise.

"Which unit are you planning to secretly commit? How many troops?" Yang Zheng already recognized him in his heart.

"My subordinates only know the general situation in the West Sea, but don't know the details. I would like to lead the scouts first and go deep into the West Sea to explore the enemy's situation."

Yang Zheng greatly appreciated this kind of prudence.

"I will promote you to the rank of commander, and you can choose your own subordinates."

"Thank you, General!" Meng Guan was a young man after all, and he was overjoyed after being promoted to music director.

"This boy can be of great use." Du Yu said with a smile.

Although it is somewhat inconsistent with his own values, Du Yu's character is still trustworthy.

Moreover, pacifying Zhong Qiang and regaining the West Sea are also good things for the country and the people.

Of course Du Yu will do his best.

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "There are so many people in the world who can be of great use, but the imperial court only values ​​the lintel of the family."

Du Yu said: "This is a serious problem for the country. At that time, the Governor of Xiahou suggested that Taifu Sima restrict the Zhongzheng officials, eliminate important officials, and change the uniform system. However, Taifu Sima said what he meant but did not mean what he meant. As a result, Governor Zhengshi of Xiahou failed in his efforts to reform the system."

Yang Zheng was amused. Zhongzheng officials had always been monopolized by the gentry, and the Sima family was the leader of the gentry. How could he restrict himself?

However, I still have deep respect for my future father-in-law Xia Houxuan.

I saw the shortcomings of Wei State, but I was unable to change them.

The Du family's current situation is actually related to Sima Yi.
