However, Yang Zheng's ability in this area is ultimately limited.

What I said was boring to me.

But the children listened with great interest. Perhaps because of his status, Yang Zheng had a great attraction for them just standing in the camp.

In addition to storytelling, horse riding, archery, hunting and other activities are also organized.

Children aged eleven or twelve are more interested in these than reading.

Yang Zheng simply stopped telling stories and spent two hours a day doing activities with the children.

Every time I come, I bring some meat and some pastries.

The relationship with the children has improved by leaps and bounds.

However, it is not an option to continue like this. You must at least learn how to read and practice calligraphy.

What Xiping lacks most is people who can read.

Du Yu has a batch of them and will follow him to the West Sea to manage the grassland.

The rest are all managing the farmland.

Yang Zheng was thinking hard and suddenly remembered that starting from this summer, prisoners and beggars from Guanzhong have been sent to Xiping one after another.

There are quite a few ruthless people among these people who commit murder and arson.

A lawsuit with human lives on its hands.

But more often than not, there are prisoners who failed due to various strife and internal fights.

Sima Yi's group of nobles and veterans and Cao Shuang's group of emerging nobles were like two big whirlpools, drowning countless families.

If one person fails, the three tribes will sit together.

If it weren't for Du Ji's meritorious service and Xia Houxuan's protection, the Du family would have ended up like this.

There should be a large number of scholars among these people.

Yang Zheng sent someone to investigate.

Sure enough, there were two hundred and seventy-three people.

As if Yang Zheng had obtained a treasure, he interviewed them one by one and found that their abilities were quite good. He specially summoned them into the school captain's mansion and appointed them as subordinate officials.

Since officials are not officials, they do not need to report.

They can be recruited at will, just like Yang Zheng's retainers.

These people were different from Du Yu. They suffered inhuman treatment in prison, their wives and children were scattered, their families were broken up, and they were disheartened towards Cao Wei, even with a hint of hatred.

I am grateful to Yang Zheng.

Moreover, these prisoners in prison are all abandoned common people or small third- and fourth-rate families.

His background suits Yang Zheng's taste, and he will not favor Cao Wei like Du Yu did.

There is nothing wrong with Confucianism, and there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the emperor.

But you have to divide the time and the objects.

If the emperor of the current dynasty was a powerful leader like the Qin Emperor, Han Gao and Han Wu, Yang Zheng would not hesitate to shed his blood for the Wei Dynasty.

However, after experiencing a series of setbacks in Luo Valley, Wugong City, etc., Yang Zheng's blood was still there, but his heart became cold.

The blood and loyalty of the soldiers at the bottom are worthless...

With these people teaching Qingying, Yang Zheng felt relieved, and the urgent need in the northwest was solved.

In order to repay the kindness of his father-in-law Xiahou Xuan, Yang Zheng worked hard to nourish Xiahou's talented daughter.

I don't know if it was God's will, but Xiahou Talented Girl's stomach never moved.

On the contrary, Ah Lian and Peng Qingchan were pregnant again.

Yang Zheng was depressed, and Xiahou Talented Girl was even more depressed all day long.

Yang Zheng had no choice but to take her out more often, hunt, and see the customs and customs of the northwest, which relieved some of her depression.

While he was indulging in the gentle village, Xiahou Ba's envoy Yang Ji came.

The children of the Yang family in Hongnong naturally have many talents and are both civil and military. In more than half a year, they won the trust of Xiahou Ba.

Yang Zheng warmly welcomed us.

I thought it was just a routine communication, but I didn't expect Yang Ji to be stunned when he opened his mouth, "The imperial court will transfer his brother to be the prefect of Yiyang to assist Li Sheng in defending Jingzhou! With Lu Zhi as the prefect of Xiping and the captain of Yantie, the troops are ready."

On the way to my appointment!”

Yang Zheng had a mouthful of blood on the spot, and his head was buzzing.

I never expected that the danger would not come from Guo Huai or Sima Yi, but from Cao Shuang...

Isn't this the damn thing that kills the donkey?

Fighting oneself to death, all to make a wedding dress for others?

Cao Shuang is so quick to set his sights on the salt and horses of the West Sea?

And this Li Sheng, why do you need to say more?

This guy is an outsider in foreign wars and an expert in civil wars. He is very good at deceiving his own people. He has a great contribution to Cao Shuang's defeat in Luogu.

If you become his subordinate, how many days can you live?

"Brother, don't worry, General Wei has asked the general to take back his order." Yang Ji consoled him.

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "The general did not know that he would meet with the governor of Xiahou and General Wei and sent someone directly to show that his mind has been made and cannot be changed."

Yang Ji also sighed: "After the general took over the power, he played with Deng Yang, He Yan, Ding Mi and his ilk every day, lived in debauchery and extravagance, and resented the people of the court. The last time Luogu was defeated, Li Sheng was no longer able to be reused. The general actually

If you appoint this person as the governor of Jingzhou, it will definitely ruin the country's affairs! Lu Sima repeatedly advised the general to be diligent in his administration, but he was not happy with Deng Yang, Ding Mi and others, so he demoted him to be the governor of Xiping."

Yang Zheng's heart moved, "Is Lu Sima demoted?"

Yang Ji nodded and said: "Exactly, Lu Sima was originally the farewell driver of Guo Huai, and was later elected as a subordinate of the Great Sima Cao Zhen. He served as a military adviser and pacified the Western Regions. Later, he became the prefect of Tianshui. He resisted Zhuge Kongming's Northern Expedition, benefited the people, and left him.

When he was in office, the Qiang and Han people in Tianshui went to Luoyang to submit a letter in person, requesting to stay in office. Emperor Ming praised him, encouraged him with the name of Huang Ba, a famous Han official, and named him a general against the invaders. This person was also personally selected by Emperor Ming to assist the general, but

…”

Huang Baguan of the Western Han Dynasty rose to the rank of prime minister and served in three dynasties: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

In other words, in the eyes of Emperor Ming, Lu Zhi was a capable minister at the level of prime minister.

Cao Shuang's biggest characteristic is that he pushes talented people away.

Du Shu, Sun Li, Huan Fan, and Lu Zhi were all like this.

I don't know what charm Deng Yang, He Yan, and Ding Mi have that made General Cao so dazzled.

"General Wei, do you have any other orders?" Yang Zheng held on to his last glimmer of hope.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Yang Ji's face, "General Wei also said that the overall situation should be put first and not be reckless. Lu Sima is not Li Mi..."

This sounds heartbreaking.

Wasn't Li Mi's case determined? He was murdered by the Nan'an Qiang people!

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Yang Zheng's forehead. Xiahou Ba always remembered this...

This also shows that Xiahou Ba is not optimistic that his letter can persuade Cao Shuang.

That's why he persuaded Yang Zheng in disguise not to act rashly.

Lu Zhi was not Li Mi. If he assassinated him, the court would be shaken.

The influence of Li Mi has not dissipated even now, let alone someone of Lu Zhi's level.

The side effects of conspiracy are too great.

Isn't this turmoil caused by Li Sheng's desire to avenge Li Mi?

Seeing Yang Zheng's uneasy look, Yang Ji cupped his hands and said, "The army is busy and it's not appropriate to stay longer. I'll take my leave."

"Wen Tong came from afar and received poor hospitality, which was rude and disrespectful."

"Jinai is a junior. If my brother treats you like a guest, it would be disrespectful." Yang Ji said gently.

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at this kid from a top family in a different light, and said with a smile: "Okay, I accept you as my brother."

Yang Ji also smiled and left.

Yang Zheng sent him ten miles out of the city before saying goodbye.

On the way back, the cold wind blew, and my head became much clearer.

Suddenly, I vaguely remembered something. Before Li Sheng was to serve as the governor of Jingzhou, he visited Sima Yi who was pretending to be ill.

If Sima Yi pretends to be ill, it means that Sima will take action soon.

Could it be that Cao Shuang is almost done?

As long as I drag it on, the general trend of the world will undergo major changes.
