"What did you say?" Yang Zheng was incredulous.

The Qiang cavalry who went north to plunder all returned fully loaded, making others extremely jealous.

People, food, money and silk were loaded into one cart after another.

"It is indeed true. Hu Fen did not send out a single soldier to intercept, but the powerful wealthy people organized many private soldiers, but they were all defeated by the Qiang soldiers," Meng Guanhui reported.

Yang Zheng couldn't help laughing, "I fell into the trap."

Meng Guan understood after thinking for a moment, "Hu Fen is using our hands to rectify the powerful?"

"In the future, these Liangzhou powerful people will hate us to the core."

This trick is beautifully played.

Maybe Haoqiang and Hu Fen share the same hatred of the enemy.

Even though they are using the Qiang and Hu flags to each other, they are actually more open-minded than anyone else.

According to the rules of this era, without the support of powerful warriors, Yang Zheng's future expansion of power to the north will inevitably encounter many obstacles.

But so what?

In the words of a great man, this is not a treat, and it is impossible to maintain harmony.

Sooner or later, you will have to offend yourself.

A peaceful atmosphere may contain serious hidden dangers.

Yang Zheng didn't believe it. When the time came, he took off his pants and marched north, holding the knife on their necks. They really wanted to be the chaste and martyr wives of the Sima family.

If this were the case, there would be no chaos among the Five Flowers.

It can also be seen from this incident that he fell behind the opponent in planning.

Yang Zheng has always faced his own shortcomings.

But overall, the results are pretty good. I have gained substantial benefits, which is considered a win-win situation.

"General, I have something stuck in my throat that I can't say out loud." Meng Guan blushed, obviously he had been holding it in for a long time.

"Tell me." Yang Zheng probably knew what he wanted to say.

"Peng Hu has betrayed us once, why would the general still trust him and use him? If he defected to Hu Fen, wouldn't it be even more powerful?" Meng Guan gritted his teeth at things like traitors and spies. When he first heard about Zhou Yu,

If he rebels, he will be stabbed to death on the spot with a knife.

Yang Zheng shook his head and said: "You are wrong, I did not believe him. As for whether to defect to Hu Fen or not, it is his business. You should know that he is a smart man, and I am giving him a chance."

"Why should we give this kind of person a chance?" Meng Guan became a little excited.

Watching Xiping grow from a seedling to what it is today, through various difficulties and cracks...

He saw it with his own eyes and experienced it himself.

Although it is not a towering tree, it is still strong.

So he cherishes everything in front of him more than Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng said seriously: "Not everyone is as determined as you and me. Don't we need these unsteady people? Do you think we in Xiping still lack a Peng Hu? He can be used by me, so it is best.

, if not, there is always a chance to settle the accounts with him!"

A few years ago, Yang Zheng just wanted to survive in this troubled world, one day at a time.

But now, as more and more people join, Yang Zheng is no longer the Yang Zheng he used to be.

Especially those who have faith.

When he received faith from Yang Zheng, he also gave Yang Zheng faith and confidence.

The domineering tone in Yang Zheng's words instantly untied Meng Guan's knot in his heart. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This subordinate is stupid."

"You have worked hard for Xiping Zen, how can you say you are stupid? In the future, you must not lose your loyalty today." Yang Zheng encouraged.

"Thank you General!"

After Meng Guan saluted, he turned around and left, his steps more steady than before.

Yang Zheng looked at his back, but fell into thought.

Will Peng Hu betray him again?

Yang Zheng didn't know, but if Peng Hu was really smart, he would have assessed the situation and not blocked all roads.

Besides, with Wei Guan’s character, would he really trust him?

The risk is worth taking.

What was lost was just a man with both ends of the spectrum, and his tribe.

This series of actions can only be regarded as the first round.

With the arrival of the autumn harvest, both sides stepped up their guard. Yang Zheng moved the people behind Wubao and sent the Xiaoqi battalion to patrol the north.

The local tycoons in Liangzhou also began to gather together to keep warm, and under the integration of Hu Fen, they formed a "coalition army".

Although it was said to be a coalition force, it actually became Hu Fen's military force.

The benefits that both sides can gain are getting less and less, so they can only call a temporary truce.

Each harvests crops.

This round of arm wrestling was barely a draw.

Hu Fen has collected so many miscellaneous soldiers and generals. If he was smart, he would definitely spend some time integrating them.

Everyone needs time.

But Yang Zheng always believes that time is on his side.

Now that Peng Hu had penetrated into the enemy, Yang Zheng transferred his other father-in-law Jiang Fane back to organize the Qiang cavalry to maintain stability in the north and appease the Qiang and Hu people.

The most important time of the year is coming.

The slaves happily rushed into the waves of ripe wheat.

After returning home, the rulers and the people harvested their own crops.

The roads in various places in Xiping were barely usable after being built by surprise, and various ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages were pulled directly between the fields.

The weather in Xiping was not very smooth this year. It did not rain for a long time in mid-June.

However, the snow water flowing down from the plateau and Qilian Mountains can still nourish this fertile land.

Not to mention the Yellow River and Huangshui River.

God is fair.

The situation in Xiping was not good, and in Guanzhong it was even worse.

There has been a widespread drought, and this year's harvest will definitely be severely affected.

After more than a month of busy work, the autumn harvest has come to a successful end.

This year six more fields were opened and a lot of people were attracted, but the harvest was about the same as last year, 1.17 million shi.

The farm occupies the best land, and the losses are not great, but the harvest of the people is much worse.

Yang Zheng directly issued an edict to exempt half of the land tax.

Suddenly there were cheers all over the mountains and plains.

Yang Zheng's personal reputation has reached its peak.

Over the years, the imperial court not only failed to reduce taxes, but also continued to increase them.

The slaves are waiting to be returned to govern the people, and the people attracted have received benefits.

The grain stored in the warehouse is only 830,000 shi.

But this year, due to the implementation of the government army system, Yang Zheng is not under much pressure.

The soldiers of the government were already rewarded, so they missed the farming season when dividing the fields. However, they replanted some beans and millet, and Yang Zheng allocated grain to each government to help the soldiers who were in need of help.

The grain harvest was poor, but there was a "big harvest" of cattle, sheep and war horses.

The ranch planned by Du Yu personally ushered in a small outbreak, with 53,000 sheep, 9,000 cattle, and 1,100 horses.

Of course, this is far from giving full play to the real advantages of the Xihai Grassland.

In history, Li Jing defeated the three tribes of Tuyuhun Tianzhu and collected more than 200,000 miscellaneous animals...

Xiping is like a seedling, still in the growing stage and has huge potential.

After the autumn harvest.

At the four bends of the river, the soldiers of the Mansion began to gather.

After General Xuan Yilang passed on the merit and title system, morale soared visibly.

Many soldiers were illiterate, but they could understand human speech.

If you win, you will get money, land, and promotion!

What a simple and simple truth.

Qiang and Hu soldiers like this.

It's the third day of September, and the autumn wind already has a hint of desolation.

Yang Zheng sent a battalion of three thousand guards southward, with Yin Chun as the main general and Zhao Deng, Du Bin, Yang Jue, Yu Hu and others as assistants, to attack the plateau.
