Chapter 308 will start
Yang Zheng stood on the river pass and looked to the east, clearly feeling that the world situation had changed and that the torrent of history was already rolling in.
After struggling for so long, the results are finally here.
Master Sima's thoughts and energy are not on himself.
Compared with those in the southeast, Xiping is simply insignificant.
In June, Deng Ai returned to Didao after making some arrangements in Panhan.
Sima Fu also hurried back to Luoyang.
Hu Fen returned to defend Wuwei, no longer showing off his teeth and claws.
Although Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition ended in a draw, it subtly affected the pattern of Yongliang.
Yang Zhengming defended the east and secretly attacked the north. Wuwei's vitality was severely damaged. Hu Fen's beggar version of the "mansion army system" was basically shattered, and he even lost the Wei Guan.
Deng Ai lost a lot of strength in the repeated strangulations with Jiang Wei.
Guo Huai's hand is looming.
Li Jian surrendered at the critical moment, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It was a stroke of genius that immediately changed the situation.
As a result, Sima Fu stopped at his hometown, and his plan to integrate Yongliang came to nothing and ended hastily.
Ginger is still spicier.
"Guo Huai was not assassinated. As for whether he fell ill, we can't find out through careful inspection." Meng Guan reported.
Yang Zheng remembered that after the Gaoping Ling Incident, Guo Huai gradually disappeared.
For now, Yang Zheng hopes Guo Huai can live a few more years.
Sima's purpose in attacking Wu was not simple. Almost all the generals loyal to Cao Wei were in the southeast.
The Sima family in history also continued to consolidate military power.
It can be seen from these battles that Guo Huai has been playing the art of balance.
Neither the Shu army was allowed to invade Yongliang, nor was Sima Fu and Deng Ai allowed to take advantage.
To some extent, he is also one of his potential allies.
Thinking of Luo Gu's encounter after his defeat, and how he and Guo Huai were in a life-or-death situation, in the blink of an eye, they felt a bit dependent on each other.
Yesterday we were friends, today we are mortal enemies. Yesterday we were mortal enemies, today we are allies.
Nothing is more amazing than this in the changing world.
"If you can't find out, you're not dead." Yang Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Guan also smiled, "There is news from Guandong that Xuchang, Huainan, Qingxu, and Jingyu are all recruiting civilians on a large scale to prepare food, grass and weapons. There will be a big war in the near future."
The historic Battle of Dongxing is about to begin.
"What's the news from Luoyang?" Yang Zheng asked.
Meng Guan replied: "During this period, the emperor was close to Su Shuo, the supervisor of the Yellow Gate, Le Dun, the commander of the Yongning Department, Liu Xian, the servant, and many others. He also often summoned Zhang Ji and Li Feng."

Yang Zheng frowned, Xia Houxuan was tricked to death by these two guys.
I don’t know what they were thinking. They had neither military power nor fame. They united with the emperor and wanted to rebel against Sima Shi.
Moreover, Li Feng did not have a good reputation. During the power struggle between Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, he tried to please both sides. People at the time ridiculed him: Cao Shuang was as hot as soup, Taifu and his son were as cold as jelly, and Li Feng brothers were like swimming lights.
Wandering light means wandering.
"Can we rob Dahonglu?" If we can get Xiahou Xuan back to Xiping and raise his arms, at least half of Yongliang will listen to Yang Zheng's orders.
Du Tong, the governor of Zhangye, Wang Huiyang, the governor of Jiuquan, Huangfulong, the governor of Dunhuang, Ma Yan, the commander of the Western Regions garrison, and Fan Can, the former governor of Wuwei, were all loyal ministers of Cao Wei.
With Xia Houxuan here, Yang Zheng didn't need to be so complacent. Taking advantage of Sima Shi Dongxing's defeat, he directly pulled the banner to Qingjun's side.
Any rebellion needs slogans and banners to hold up the front.
Meng Guan shook his head and said, "Master Sima is so generous on the outside and strict on the inside, and his fine work of fighting wood and Xie can no longer enter the Xiahou Mansion."
Xia Houxuan was the last pillar of Cao Wei's court, how could Master Sima ignore him?
It couldn't be saved before, but now that Sima Shi has become more and more powerful, it is even more impossible to save him.
The death of Chen Ben, the governor of Hebei Province, was somewhat inexplicable, which aroused Yang Zheng's vigilance. "From now on, the core people in Xiping must be protected secretly. Each person has twenty personal guards, Lu Gong one hundred, Du Yu
, Wei Guan, Zhang Te, Zhou Yu, Yin Chun are fifty, and the other important people, twenty each, must be protected by soldiers when they go in and out, and Jiuye Camp secretly protects them."
It is not easy to gather these talents.
Especially if Lu Zhi, Du Yu, or Zhang Te were to be tricked at random, the consequences would be disastrous.
Sima Shi has three thousand dead soldiers, so he still needs to be on guard.
Historically, Sima Zhao once thought about sending an assassin to kill Jiang Wei, but later he thought it was better to save some face, so he gave up the idea.
"Wei!" Meng Guan cupped his hands and said.
Since Deng Ai had retreated, Yang Zheng had no intention of staying in Heguan and led the Guards Battalion and Xiaoqi Battalion back to the Western Capital.
Jincheng Xiping has been far away from the war in recent years, and has attracted a large number of people, and the territory has been peaceful.
A few years ago, during the expedition against Yewudai, when Yang Zheng entered Xiping for the first time, he felt a sense of desolation, with bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.
But now, under the snow-capped mountains, there are large villages scattered, with streets criss-crossing, and chickens and dogs chatting with each other.
The farming area continues to expand along the Huangshui River, and the crops in the fields are green and pleasing to the eye.
Under the scorching sun, slaves and farmers worked tirelessly in the fields.
Although the weather in July is extremely hot, it is also full of life.
Yang Zheng let out a long sigh, it was really not easy for the land under his rule to have such a scene.
It's just that the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. There is no paradise in the troubled times in this world, and it is impossible to live in peace forever.
The Sima family flattened Huainan, and one day they will look to the northwest, and it will be a matter of time before they completely break up.
There is no external threat for the time being, and Xiping is on the verge of an explosion.
The government military system was fully implemented, with 160% of troops rushing into the government, and 24,000 soldiers.
Meng Guan and Pang Qing made a big fuss in Wuwei, causing the whole Wuwei to wither.
A large number of young men died or fled, the farmland was completely destroyed, and Hu Fen's strength declined rapidly.
The Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang Hu were resurgent and aggressive. Even the Juqu tribe, which had always been dormant, began to show their teeth and claws, leaving Hu Fen exhausted.
With Hu Fen's ability, he could easily put down the rebellion, but the successive rebellions also made him very anxious.
As one goes and the other goes, Yang Zheng built two new Zhechong mansions in the north, Menyuan Valley in the south of Pingqiangkou, and Dadouba Valley in Biandukou, all of which were important places to guard the northward advance.
Hu Fen was doing his best to suppress the Qiang and Hu, and he had no time to care about this.
In addition, Yang Zheng issued a military order, and all the talented athletes in each Zhechong government were directly summoned into the Guards Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp.
The Guards and the Second Battalion of Xiaoqi will eliminate some old and weak people every year and demote them to low-ranking officials such as the Chief of the Farming Department, the Wu Commander, etc. They will farm the fields and manage the slaves at the same time.
Always keep fresh blood flowing into the core combat strength.
There are more and more children graduating from the Qingying camp. Those who pass the examination will be directly employed in various Zhechong offices, while those who fail will be transferred to Xuanyibu as Xuanyilang's deputy.
In the busy time, another year of autumn harvest has arrived.
Lu Zhi and Du Yu were in charge of farming and animal husbandry.
Since Wei Guan came to the Western Capital, he was full of curiosity about everything. Zhe Chong Mansion, Tuntian Division, Xuanyi Division, and even Wubao were "guarded" day and night by Lin Sen with fifty soldiers.
The fourth year in Jiaping can be considered a small bumper harvest, basically the same as last year.
The treasury of Xiping was very abundant, and the granaries were full.
After Du Yu’s efforts over the past few years, Xihai Ranch finally exceeded 110,000 livestock.
In a stable environment, the population is also growing significantly.
It continues to attract Qiang people from the plateau and Hu people from the Western Regions.
A large number of babies are born among the people. Reproduction is the most primitive desire of all living things. Even slaves are frantically creating humans.
After the autumn harvest, the new wind gradually rises, and a chilling atmosphere fills the sky.
General Sima Shi spread the word to the world, raised 150,000 troops, and went south to attack Wu.
Guanqiu Jian led 40,000 Yuzhou troops to attack Wuchang, Wang Chang led 40,000 Jingzhou troops to attack Jiangling, Sima Zhao led the Xuchang garrison, and joined forces with Hu Zun and Zhuge Dan to attack Dongxing with 70,000 troops.
They also recruited Xu Yanyu Jing Qingzhuang to transport grain and grass.
