Xia Houxuan helped Yang Zheng up again, his eyes were quite pleased, "The right general said a few days ago that Qiang and Di were going to have strange movements, and advised me to be more prepared. Fortunately, you have brought peace to Fufeng and Di, but Longxi, Nan'an, and Jincheng are all in peace.

There seems to be a secret alliance between the Qiang people in various counties in Xiping. The mountains and terrain in Longxi are complex, and we need to be on guard against the Shu army. The right general has just taken office, and there are many dangers. I want you to go to Longxi to assist, what do you think?"

The general on the right is the famous Xiahou Ba.

The second son of Xia Houyuan.

According to his seniority, he is Xia Houxuan's cousin.

In order to neutralize Sima Yi's power in Yongliang, Cao Shuang made other preparations before attacking Shu. He appointed Xiahou Ba as the guard of the Shu army, general on the right, and stationed troops in Longxi County.

"My subordinate is willing to go." Yang Zheng said with enthusiasm.

There is no family background these days, so if you want to climb up, you can only rely on military merit.

Xia Houxuan nodded in approval and said: "From today on, you will be promoted to captain. The situation in Longxi is tense. You can prepare for it in two days before taking up your post."

"Thank you, Commander!" Yang Zheng was elated.

The captaincy was not worth mentioning in the eyes of big men like Xia Houxuan, but for Yang Zhenger, he had finally passed the most important hurdle, from a junior officer to a senior officer.

During the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the captain was in charge of the military affairs of a county in the local area. In many cases, he could also oversee the civil affairs.

After the ninth rank official law was adopted, the captaincy was gradually monopolized by aristocratic families.

According to Yang Zheng's original trajectory, if nothing unexpected happens, the captain is likely to be the unattainable ceiling above his head.

Naturally, I felt very grateful to Xia Houxuan.

I secretly thought that if Xia Houxuan was in power in the court, perhaps Cao Wei would still have a glimmer of hope to maintain a fragile balance between the old ministers of the aristocratic family and the emerging powerful.

It is a pity that Xia Houxuan was hated by Emperor Ming because he disliked Empress Mao's younger brother and was demoted from the circle of powerful people.

It was thanks to Cao Shuang that he came back again.

When thinking of Cao Shuang, Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"In the battle of Luogu, most of the elite troops of the Chinese army were lost. The country is in danger. When the court employs people, you should encourage yourself." Xia Houxuan had some hope in his eyes.

Just like an elder's expectations for the younger generation.

Yang Zheng felt a wave of warmth in his heart, "Zheng remember the governor's teachings."

"If your army lacks anything, you can go to the treasury to get it yourself."

"Thank you, Commander!" Yang Zheng looked at the celebrities in front of him, his gratitude could not be greater.

It is a pity that such a gentle and elegant person was born in such an era.

So his fate is destined to be miserable...

After bidding farewell to Xia Houxuan, Yang Zheng returned to his residence, no longer interested in visiting Chang'an.

The next day I went to visit Du Yu.

Du Jiajie is the noble man in his life.

If he hadn't recommended him, Xia Houxuan wouldn't have taken him seriously.

It's a bit ridiculous to think about it. I risked my life twice on the battlefield and fought bloody battles, but nothing could be worth a word from others.

The atmosphere of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was generally like this, and I don’t know how many characters were buried like this.

"Congratulations to General Yang." Du Yu was very enthusiastic towards Yang Zheng.

"Brother Du, does everyone know?"

"The general was defeated miserably and the morale of the army was completely lost. It is a time when we are short of men. Who else can we use instead of General Yang?"

This time we met again, it felt like the relationship between the two was much closer.

Yang Zheng said respectfully: "Thank you, Brother Du, for the recommendation."

Du Yu waved his hand and turned away the servants who were bringing tea and water, "Why should this be like this between you and me?"

Seeing that he was so cheerful, Yang Zheng was not polite, "I wonder what Brother Du can teach me when I go to Longxi this time?"

The situation in Longxi is complicated. There are Shu people outside who are eyeing the enemy, and there are Qiang people inside who are ready to take action. Behind them are Guo Huai and Deng Ai. They are simply trying to survive in the cracks.

Yang Zheng remembers that Jiang Wei's several Northern Expeditions focused on Longxi.

However, the greater the chaos, the greater the opportunity.

Staying in Chang'an and Luoyang all this time, what military merits do you get?

Du Yu said with a smile: "The general on the right is a strong man and has a bold personality. The general will be reused under his command, so why should the general worry?"

Yang Zheng felt relieved. Generally speaking, people with a bold personality are easy to get along with and will not put others on the back foot. "Thank you, Brother Du, for reminding me."

With Du Yu's words, Yang Zheng felt confident.

"Brother Du has great talent, why don't you come with me to Longxi to strive for fame?" Yang Zheng couldn't hold it back anymore and started to win over him.

If Du Yu goes with him, what else can be done?

As soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt abrupt.

He is the son of the governor of Youzhou. If he really wants to become an official, he can be a prefect or something like that.

But although it was abrupt, it was sincere.

According to his family background and Du Shu's current status, the fact that he has not yet become an official shows that the situation is not optimistic.

Du Yu's eyes flashed, and the worry on his face disappeared in a flash, and he cupped his hand to Yang Zheng, "I accept the general's kindness. If I have a chance in the future, I won't go to Longyou to defect to the general."

Is this a polite refusal?

Yang Zheng didn't think much about it. According to the current status and status of the two of them, it was almost enough to defect to him.

The two talked for a while, and Du Kuan happened to come back, without even raising his eyes when he saw him.

Yang Zheng was embarrassed to stay, so he bowed as a junior and left.

Walking in Chang'an Market, I always felt that there was something hidden in the worried look on Du Yu's face.

Du Kuan was a doctor in the imperial court and a close official of the emperor. It was a troubled time now. He should be in Luoyang, but he stayed away from martial arts and studied.

Could it be that something happened to the Du family?

It must be.

Du Shu's uprightness is well-known throughout the world, and he has offended many people over the years.

Now that Cao Shuang was defeated, his reputation was greatly reduced.

Perhaps the old ministers of the aristocratic family can't do anything against him, but they can still do it against the people who are attached to him.

Xiahou Xuan was well-known and had an outstanding position, so naturally no one touched him.

Below Xiahou Xuan, the highest-ranking general is General Zhijie Jianwei and Du Shu, the governor of Youzhou.

When Linghu Sheng was by his side, apart from practicing martial arts, he often talked about the situation between the DPRK and China.

Coupled with the memory of the original owner, Yang Zheng can roughly guess one or two.

But can Cao Shuang be able to protect Du Shu?

Thinking of Cao Shuang's character and Deng Yang beside him, Yang Zheng was not optimistic.

In fact, Cao Shuang had many potential allies, but the Gaoping Ling incident happened so quickly. Just like his name, Cao Shuang surrendered so readily that these potential allies had no time to react.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

But it wasn't his turn to worry about these things.

What you should worry about is now.

The captain can command more than a thousand troops, and according to Xia Houxuan's wishes, he can be recruited in Chang'an City.

However, Yang Zheng has always preferred to be short-lived, and Chang'an is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, so the recruiter doesn't know what he is thinking.

It's better to go to the border to get people.

Yang Zheng only received some weapons and armor from the treasury, gave his 400 men a big change of clothes, and ordered more than 400 war horses.

It's easy to do things when there are people up there.

Whatever happens, no one can stop it.

The Wuwei camp was originally made up of cavalry, but now they asked for more than 400 horses, and no one said anything.

Looking at the cavalrymen in front of him with their heads held high, Yang Zheng felt very proud. With these four hundred people, where in the world can they go?

However, Chun Niang and a group of little girls are still in the martial arts, as well as Zhao Deng and three hundred wounded soldiers with severed arms and legs. Without him to take care of them, they must be extremely miserable in this world.
