Yang Zheng felt that it was okay to live like this.

There is no difference from the Tu Emperor.

As long as taxes are paid to Wuwei on time every year, Chen Tai will not interfere within Xiping.

There is a Liangzhou Prefectural History Department and a Western Region Long History Department. Hu and Han are mixed together, powerful and powerful people stand side by side. I don’t know how many things have to be done every day.

On the contrary, there are only a few people who are as obedient as Yang Zheng and pay taxes in full.

Most counties are deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors.

When Chen Tai first arrived, it took a lot of time to find out how deep the water was.

The local powerful people and tribes are not easy to mess with. They have money, food, soldiers and generals.

Sometimes Chen Tai would order the Xiping Army to go north to quell the rebellion.

Yang Zheng basically responds to requests.

The relationship with Chen Tai is also becoming increasingly harmonious.

But secretly, Yang Zheng's hand stretched longer and longer in Liangzhou.

Where are the passes, where are the garrisons, where are the farms and pastures, and the sphere of influence of each tribe, and even the Zhangye governor knows how many concubines there are.

Twenty-Eight Constellations and Nine Camps are becoming more and more proficient.

Especially after investing a lot of money, the penetration will be unfavorable.

Xiping's government affairs were handed over to Lu Zhi, Xihai was handed over to Du Yu, and Zhang Te took care of it. Yang Zheng only focused on military power and financial power. He often went to the Qingying camp to do ideological work, and his relationship with the children improved by leaps and bounds.

But the calm days are destined to be short-lived.

Chen Tai is a gentleman who doesn't cause trouble for himself, but Guo Huai doesn't let him go easily.

As soon as the first month of the second year of Jiaping passed, the order from Chang'an came.

"Call the Qiang Zhonglang General Yang Zheng and the Xiping Prefect Lu Zhi to Chang'an to discuss matters. Those who fail to meet the deadline will be punished for disobeying military orders!" The envoy read out the order of the Yongliang Governor, with harsh words.

Yang Zheng frowned.

Isn't it too obvious that he and Lu Zhi both go?

Last year, first there was the Gaoping Ling Incident, then Wang Jinhu and Jiang Wei were in trouble for more than half a year, and then Wang Ling rebelled.

Let Yang Zheng be temporarily forgotten and have a chance to breathe.

But now that the dust has settled and Sima and his son are in power, they have begun to pull out the nails one by one.

There are indeed one or two military discussions every year, but Guo Huai generally excludes those who are not part of the Yongliang military system.

This year, he and Lu Zhi were asked to go. Can these damn things come back after they go?

"Go back and report to the Governor. It's not that I, Yang Zheng, disobeyed, but that the Qiang were attacked and burned. Zhong Qiang gathered a hundred thousand troops to invade Xiping again. To keep Yongliang safe, I, Yang Zheng, can only come to the door to apologize on another day." Yang Zheng

He said with a soft smile.

Seeing Liu Heng with a sinister look on his face, and dozens of armored soldiers with heavy backs and waists holding their swords, the envoy rolled his eyes twice and smiled very reluctantly and kindly, "I will definitely report General Yang's words to Governor Guo.

"

"That's good, that's good. I really have some last resort reasons. Since the envoy is busy with military affairs, I will not retain him and Liu Heng will see him off." Yang Zheng was not even in the mood to be conciliatory.

What was supposed to come finally came.

However, the plan to drive a wedge between the Guo family and the Sima family seems to have no effect.

Guo Huai is still alive and kicking.

The Sima family made no move.

The whole Cao Wei was very peaceful, as if nothing happened last year.

Could it be that someone discovered his little move?

It's hard to deal with anyone who can get on the stage these days.

After the messengers were sent away, another wave came the next day, the third day, the fourth day...

The orders of the five successive waves of envoys were all the same: to summon Yang Zheng back to Chang'an, otherwise military law would be engaged.

Yang Zheng gave up the luck in his heart, the storm was finally coming.

Just like Feng Qi disappeared, the space for Yongliang to move is getting smaller and smaller.

Chen Tai, Guo Huai, Deng Ai have different relationships with Sima and his son.

But the idea of ​​pulling out the nail in Xiping is the same.

Guo Huai has the power to hold orders and can kill officials with a rank of less than 2,000 shi in wartime. Yang Zheng doesn’t know if two thousand shi counts as two thousand shi, but as long as he goes to Chang’an, his head will be in Guo Huai’s hands.

.

On the seventh day, Chen Tai also sent someone here, probably to make Yang Zheng obedient. After all, Guo Huai was the governor of the imperial court. As long as Chen Tai was around, he would not act recklessly.

Without his guarantee, Yang Zheng just suspected that Guo Huai might want to do something to him.

With his guarantee, it is basically true.

The last time Cao Shuang believed his lies, he was killed.

It is true that Chen Tai is a gentleman, but a gentleman can easily be taken advantage of by villains.

Standing on the tower, looking eastward, the waves are like raging waves and the mountains are like gatherings.

In the dark, there seemed to be overwhelming dark clouds covering the sky above Xiping, making people unable to breathe.

When this day came, Yang Zheng had mixed feelings in his heart.

However, even if you die in battle, you cannot surrender. Cao Shuang and Wang Ling both learned bloody lessons, and they may not be powerless to fight back.

Most of his soldiers are Qiang and Hu, and the generals in the army are brothers who share life and death.

There is also Xuanyi Lang doing ideological work.

"Xingyun, have you thought about it?" Lu Zhi stood behind Yang Zheng at some point.

"If you don't think about it well, the water will come to cover it up, and the soldiers will come to stop it. Cao Shuang and Wang Ling will die if they think too much." Yang Zheng said with a smile.

Lu Zhi was stunned, "There is some truth in this statement. Xiping is close to the Qianghu and Shu Kingdoms, so Guo Huai may not dare to mobilize troops. The terrain of Xiping is complex and there are many mountains and rivers. It cannot be captured overnight. If it continues for a long time, the Shu army will invade from the north."

"What my uncle said is true." In fact, a decisive battle between swords and swords is the fairest for Yang Zheng.

As long as they are defeated once, Xiping can reach another level.

Guo Huai's envoy was still conveying military orders tirelessly.

The words became more severe each time.

The scouts reported that Chen Tai from the north had gathered a large Qiang and Hu army at Guzang, while Deng Ai from the east was impatient and marched 20,000 troops to Yunwu.

Seems to be waiting for the final order.

The entire Xiping County has long been transformed like an iron barrel by Yang Zheng. There are passes, beacons, and forts everywhere. If Deng Ai wants to attack, he will lose his skin even if he doesn't die.

Yang Zheng gave an order, and 25,000 horsemen gathered in Xidu.

He also sent a message to Zhang Te on flying cavalry and returned with his troops as backup.

Just as we were about to set off, the messenger from the last party in this great drama also arrived.

"General Xiahou ordered me to come and pay homage to General Yang." The envoy from Shu said under the banner of Xiahou Ba.

Hanzhong has the fine work of Cao and Wei, and Yongliang naturally has the fine work of Shu.

"How is General Xiahou doing in your country?" Yang Zheng missed the days when Xiahou Ba was his immediate boss.

"Xiahou Gong has become the chariot and cavalry general of the Han Dynasty. His favor is extraordinary. Xiahou Gong also often praises the general in front of His Majesty as the best tiger general in the world." The envoys of Shu have an extraordinary temperament in their conversation and temperament. They play the favor card as soon as they come up and press the leader of Shu, Liu Chan.

Never mentioning the matter of surrender, Yang Zheng unknowingly relaxed his guard and followed his lead.

"Oh? Your Lord also knows my name?" Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He was an ant before, but now he is a chess piece, but he has become worthy of being taken seriously.

"Your Majesty is very happy to hear that the general has repeatedly defeated the Qiang and Hu and promoted the might of the Han Dynasty. It is often said that if you can get a general, it is no less than the Han Dynasty who got Wei Qing." The messenger's tongue was as sharp as yellow, and he sent flattery one after another.

If Yang Zheng had not been a time traveler, he might have been moved to the ground.

Now that he has surrendered to Shu, more than ten years later, the whole family will inevitably be stabbed.

Besides, Shu just wants to use itself, so it may not really take him seriously.

"May I ask your name?" Yang Zheng said with cupped hands.

"Qian is Li Mi, Li Lingbo." The messenger said gently.

"There are many talented people in Sichuan. I am deeply grateful to you for your kindness. However, I am a loyal minister who will not serve the two masters. I would rather die in battle than betray my country."

To live in this world, you still have to cherish some feathers.

Those who surrendered were few and far between.
