Seeing Chang'an again, my mood was very different from the last time.

A person's perspective changes with his or her status.

At the beginning, we were at the end of the road and could only look up at this city. Now we have thousands of riders on both sides, and we can look at it psychologically.

The great land of Guanzhong, the golden city thousands of miles away, is the land of abundance.

The Qin and Han Dynasties prospered.

And the momentum of Chang'an is not comparable to that of the Western Capital and Didao.

Xia Houxuan sent his servants early to greet him in Xicheng.

Two thousand cavalry were unable to enter the city and were stationed outside the city.

In order not to alarm the people and attract attention, Yang Zheng and a dozen soldiers changed into regular uniforms.

I came to Chang'an more than two years ago. At that time, I had just experienced the tragic defeat of Luogu, and the city was in a state of decline. Two years later, the city gradually became prosperous and prosperous.

Crowds of people shuttled back and forth, and all businesses prospered.

Qiang, Hu and Di, all kinds of people come and go.

Xiahou Xuan was not good at commanding troops, but he was first-rate at governing.

The huge Chang'an is well organized.

Yang Zheng watched for a while as if watching a lantern, and for some reason, Xia Houzhi kept frowning slightly after entering Chang'an, not as interested as before on the road.

Surrounded by the Xiahou family's servants, he entered the Governor's Mansion.

"My son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law."

"The daughter pays homage to her father."

Yang Zheng and Xia Houzhi knelt down and offered tea.

Xia Houxuan each took a sip. He looked a little haggard, with a layer of hoarfrost growing on his temples. His eyes when he looked at Yang Zheng were a little gentler, and there was more contact between relatives, "Get up."

Yang Zheng and Xia Houzhi stood bowed.

The family tradition of celebrities is naturally more complicated.

Today is different from the past. Xia Houzhi reminded me of many proper etiquette along the way.

Yang Zheng kept it all in mind.

The Han and Wei dynasties valued filial piety, and the father-in-law was considered half a father.

Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang and Cao Wei Xungui, was willing to marry his daughter to Yang Zheng. It can't be said that he was favored. And marriage in this era was not just a simple marriage, but actually a binding of interests.

No matter how many interests were involved, Yang Zheng was still grateful to Xia Houxuan.

Becoming the son-in-law of the Xiahou family means that Yang Zheng is no longer an ordinary general.

"Sit." Xia Houxuan spoke softly, showing his cultivation.

Yang Zheng and Xia Houzhi sat kneeling side by side.

The servant brought tea.

"Xingyun promised to suppress Zhong Qiang in three years. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, he used the exhausted Xiping to break through the Big and Small Yu Valleys and kill Mi Dang. The famous generals in ancient times were nothing more than this."

Glad.

Zhong Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Lu Shui Hu, and miscellaneous Hu have always been the scourge of Liangzhou.

Come every few years.

From the Wei Wu period to the present, there has rarely been peace.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to the blessing of His Majesty, the support of my father-in-law, and the sacrifice of the soldiers, I was lucky enough to succeed."

You still have to have your fair share of flattery.

There is no need to talk to outsiders about the difficulties and dangers involved.

Xia Houxuan didn't talk about the family's personal problems and went straight to the point, "I heard that you killed a lot of people in Xiping and killed many Qiang and Hu leaders?"

He built the capital and killed prisoners. It is impossible not to have a bad reputation.

"There are many Qiang and Hu people in Xiping, but few Han people. The Yi and Di are afraid of power and have no morals, so my son-in-law has no choice but to use thunderous methods."

The Confucian scholars of this era are not the corrupt Confucians of a thousand years later, and Xia Houxuan is not a pedantic person either.

Since it is brought up on this occasion, it is not an accusation.

It is easy to defeat Zhong Qiang, but there is still a long way to go to completely solve the problem, and it is inseparable from Chang'an's support.

Sure enough, there was not much blame in Xia Houxuan's tone, "Thunder means should not be used frequently, as it will affect your reputation."

"My son-in-law, please remember this."

"Now that Zhong Qiang has been pacified, how should Xingyun be governed?"

It is also the duty of the Qiang captain to govern and recruit the Qiang people.

Yang Zheng said: "Not all Zhong Qiang have been pacified. Although Mi Dang is dead, their tribes are still roaring and gathering in the valleys southwest of Shishan. There are also Shaodang Qiang, Lushui Hu, Yulu, Zahu and other tribes. There are many Qiang Hu."

, The small number of Han people has always been a chronic problem of Qin Liang, so my son-in-law believes that converting Qiang into Han is the solution once and for all."

"Wei Wu once moved the Qiang and Di into Yongliang, but after decades, the Qiang and Di did not seem to have become Han people." Xiahou Zhimei stared at Yang Zheng.

Cao Wei's migration strategy was purely to control the killings and not to bury them.

Move people here and just collect taxes and don't care about anything else.

The Qiang and Di leaders still responded to every call from the tribe.

The same goes for the Bald Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu. The Hetao and the prefectures were allocated to them the beautiful and fertile land.

Cao Wei is strong and can hold the situation in check, but that's not a big deal.

The problem is that the Sima family is not only unable to control it, but also kills each other.

"Moving alone is not enough. We also need to cut off their chiefs, disperse their tribes, change their customs, and then suppress them with severe punishments and laws, supplemented by Confucianism and Legalism. In a few years, the Qiang people will internalize it." Yang Zheng said to himself.

Everything was thrown out.

It is a conspiracy to tie up with the Xiahou family and use the power of the Qiang and Hu to strengthen themselves, and there is no conflict of interest with Xiahou Xuan.

For Cao Wei, there were hundreds of benefits and only one harm.

Cao Wei needed Yang Zheng to stabilize the Qiang and Hu in Xiping and concentrate on dealing with Shu. Yang Zheng also needed to strengthen himself within the framework of Cao Wei.

Everyone gets what they need.

"Is that why your husband kills people again and kills Qiang and Hu leaders in order to prepare for the transformation of Qiang into Han?" Xia Houzhi's eyes were filled with brilliance.

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "That's exactly it."

"The system of the sage kings, benevolence and courtesy, first to the Xia and then to the Yi and Di. This method of Xingyun is very consistent with the way of the sage." Xiahou Xuanneng is respected by the world, and he still has the vision.

General, I will help you in Chang'an!"

Yang Zheng was overjoyed. The trip back home was worth it. "What Xiping lacks most are Han people and food."

Xiahou Xuandao: "I can send you some food and weapons, but it's impossible for the Han people. Chang'an also lacks a population."

Xia Houzhi chuckled and said: "Han people can't, but they are beggars in Guanzhong. Why don't the prisoners be sent to Xiping to find a way out?"

Yang Zheng was stunned, this really has the potential to be a good wife.

She can think of many things that others don't think of.

No wonder Xia Houzhi could stay in this situation.

A smile appeared on Xia Houxuan's face, and he looked at his daughter with a little helplessness in his eyes, "This is feasible."

After talking for a while, the servants came to announce that the banquet was ready.

Xia Houxuan stood up and said, "Xingyun and I are going to meet the guests."

After becoming the son-in-law of the Xiahou family, he naturally enters the circle of the Xiahou family, which is the intended meaning of the title.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Xia Houzhi said obediently: "Daughter, please retire."

Following Xia Houxuan, Yang Zheng held his breath and walked for a while before arriving at the front hall.

There were only three people in the palace. When they saw Xia Houxuan, they all bowed their hands and saluted.

But his eyes fell on Yang Zheng.

The guests invited by Xia Houxuan are naturally extraordinary.

Xia Houxuan also returned the gift with his hand, and Yang Zheng followed suit.

Entering the hall, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Xiahou Xuancai introduced them one by one, "This is Xu Yun and Xu Shizong, the servants."

Yang Zheng quickly raised his buttocks and saluted the man, "My descendants pay their respects to the Lord."

Xu Yun also returned the courtesy with a humble expression.

"This is Li Feng, Li Anguo."

I have never heard of Xu Yun and Yang Zheng, but I have heard of Li Feng.

In the name of Xiahou Xuan, Sima Shi rebelled, causing the Xiahou Xuan clan to suffer.

"The descendants pay homage to Li Shangshu."

Li Feng smiled and returned the gesture.

The two of them are similar in age to Xia Houxuan, but the third one is about the same age as himself, with a handsome appearance, more than seven feet in length, and a handsome man and eyebrows.
