Chapter 167 Yang Qu
When Peng Hu's daughter Peng Qingchan was welcomed into the mansion, a fire immediately broke out in Yang Zheng's backyard.
Xiahou Zhi became jealous.
I used to look down on Chun Niang, but now the two girls are showing signs of joining together.
Ah Lian and Peng Qingchan have similar backgrounds, so they feel sympathy for each other.
Xia Houzhi was the principal wife, and her natal family was so powerful that Yang Zheng did not dare to offend them, let alone them.
After a few days of trouble, Xia Houzhi still softened under Yang Zheng's hard work.
Compared with the children of the Xiahou family, Yang Zheng is already very restrained.
Welcoming Peng Qingchan in the door strengthened the relationship with Peng Bu Lu Shuihu.
Many Qiang and Hu people have multiplied in Hexi for hundreds of years, and their roots are intertwined and their forces are complicated.
It can never be a simple one-size-fits-all approach.
The key cannot be cut off with a single blow, and it is very likely to fall into a long-term war of attrition.
Like the Juqu tribe, Yang Zheng could certainly wipe out the Juqu tribe in Xiping, but the area involved was too wide, and a justifiable reason was needed.
Otherwise, it will easily cause turmoil in the entire Lu Shuihu.
Marrying Peng Hu is like inserting a nail into Lu Shuihu.
The Juqu Department did not dare to act rashly.
In mid-June, the crops in the fields in Hehuang were like patches of green ocean, growing gratifyingly.
The alliance members from Linqiang City also arrived as scheduled.
All the Qiang and Hu leaders from all over the Western Sea, big and small, came.
No one dares not to come.
Yang Zheng's evil reputation still has some influence in Xihai.
The piles of bones from the Yewudai tribe are still piled at the foot of Datong Mountain.
"Since I left last year, the West China Sea has been in chaos for a full year. If things continue like this, the people will be in dire straits. My general is heartbroken and has trouble sleeping and eating." Yang Zheng suppressed a look of heartache.
The Qiang and Hu leaders understood and flattered him.
"The general's benevolence is unparalleled in ancient and modern times!"
"Having a general in the northwest is a blessing to our generation."
…
Yang Zheng was a little embarrassed by the flattery.
"Since you all praise me so highly, how about you listen to my words and turn conflicts into friendship?"
The Qiang and Hu leaders glared at each other and said, "General, don't worry. We are just joking around. We have no sworn hatred. When we get back, we can shake hands and make peace without bothering you, General."
There are still many smart people.
Everything he said pushed Yang Zheng away.
"We are all brothers above the Western Sea."
"Yes, yes, it's normal for brothers to fight. I didn't expect to alert General Yang. It's really a sin."
Yang Zheng was amused in his heart, these guys beat their brains out, but they pretended to be brothers in front of him.
Now that my pants are off, do I need to retract them?
"Yes, we are all brothers from all over the world. Come, come, come. In order to prevent you brothers from fighting again, I have set some rules for you." Yang Zheng asked his guards to carry in three wooden signs.
There are words written on the wooden sign.
The Qiang and Hu people only have language and no writing.
In order to prevent illiterate people from misunderstanding Yang Zheng's good intentions and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Yang Zheng specially asked people to read it out in Han, Hu and Qiang languages.
"First, all the troops from all the tribes in the West Sea will return to the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion."
"Secondly, the people of all tribes in the West Sea are classified as herdsmen."
"Third, the leaders of the Western Sea will enter the Western Capital and enjoy peace."
After finishing reading, there was silence in the hall.
The Qiang and Hu leader's breathing became obviously rapid.
A middle-aged Hu man with a beard on his face gasped and said: "General, are you not going to give me a way to survive?"
"General Yang is going too far!" Another tall man, a foreigner, said coldly.
Yang Zheng recognized this person, Qiuci Hu, Bai Conghu.
Qiu Xiuhu, whose name is Tuluo, is the leader of the Yu captives, and his ancestors were Xiongnu nobles.
These days in the Northwest, anyone with a name and surname is a person.
Someone came forward, and other Qiang and Hu leaders also started to make noises, "It's not that we don't know what's good and what's good, but the general is too harsh."
"Our ancestors have been galloping on the grasslands of the West Sea for generations, and the general has eaten them all."
No one wants to give up their power.
Yang Zheng had already expected it.
However, do the Qiang and Hu people in the West Sea still have a choice?
The main reason why Yang Zheng did not move away from the Juqu Department was not that the Juqu Department was strong, but that the costs far outweighed the benefits and the risks outweighed the benefits.
The situation in the West Sea is different. Salt, iron, and horses are all good things.
How can I let go of my third leg that concerns me?
"Don't be excited, everyone. I have good intentions. If you continue to kill like this, whoever wins will be annexed by outsiders in the future. I am benevolent and righteous, and in order to prevent the West Sea from flowing like a river of blood, I have thought about it for three days and three nights.
I have just come up with a smooth way for you. From now on, you will all be my brothers, Yang Zheng, and your people will also be my people, so we can become one family, isn't it good?"
Ever since he became the Colonel Protecting Qiang, Yang Zheng's ability to tell lies has been increasing day by day.
"Thank you, General, for your kindness. I will forgive you for obeying your order!" Tu Luo was more upright and refused directly.
Bai Conghu also raised his hand to Yang Zheng.
On the spot, more than half of the leaders were standing behind the two of them.
"It seems we can't be brothers after all." Yang Zheng sighed.
Murderous intentions are rising in my heart, and there are swordsmen and axes outside the hall, just a word.
However, Yang Zheng disdained this kind of conspiracy.
For one thing, these leaders are sincere in waiting for them to come when summoned. If they try to kill them secretly, their tribe will definitely fight to the death.
Secondly, there are many tribes in the West Sea and even the entire Hexi, and people cannot stand without faith. If you want to live in the northwest for a long time, you still need to build a chastity archway.
Thirdly, I have absolute strength in my hands and can crush them openly and openly. There is no need to play yin and use the yang in an upright and upright way.
Conspiracies and tricks all have side effects, so don't use them unless absolutely necessary.
The Sima family conquered the world through cunning and deceit, and their descendants suffered many misfortunes in future generations.
"You must think clearly. If you surrender, I will ask the imperial court for merit for you. It doesn't matter if you don't surrender. I will give you ten days to think carefully." Yang Zheng was sincere this time.
Most of the leaders were standing behind Tuluo and Bai Conghu.
Only three leaders stood on Yang Zheng's side.
Yang Zheng already felt very relieved to have these people.
"Come here!" Yang Zheng said the word, and the leaders jumped up nervously, "Bring us wine and meat. At least for now, we are still friends and brothers!"
The leaders breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Yang Zheng with gentler eyes.
When the wine and meat were brought, Bai Conghu looked at him motionless.
Yang Zheng knew that they were overthinking it and were worried that it was poisonous.
Yang Zheng smiled and picked up the wine bottle, drank it in one gulp, and cut off a piece of the fattest mutton and put it into his mouth. Then the leaders relaxed their minds and started eating and drinking.
While eating and drinking, two more Qiang and Hu leaders came to Yang Zheng's side and said, "General Yang is magnanimous, and we are willing to join him."
"Okay, you two will be my brothers, Yang Zheng, from now on."
The wine was intoxicating, and other leaders were also shaken.
Bald Luo, Bai Cong looked at the tiger's eyes and stood up, cupping his hands and saying: "There are many affairs in the clan, so I won't disturb the general. When the general comes to my grassland in the future, he will entertain you warmly."
Yang Zheng's face darkened, and he dropped the knife in his hand for cutting meat, "In ten days, I will go to the West Sea in person, so you can take care of yourself!"
Tu Luo and Bai Conghu looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
