Chapter 417: Asking the Policy
After Yang Zheng led three thousand troops to Didao, he was warmly welcomed by the powerful men of Longyou, who presented them with beauties and treasures.
However, Yang Zheng did not meet any of them and refused to accept gifts. He first met with Yin Chun, Zhou Zhi, Li Te, Gong Yu and other generals.

These people can be regarded as the new generation of generals in Liangzhou, each one younger than the other.
The oldest one is Yin Chun, who is about thirty years old.
"My subordinate has been taken advantage of by Deng Ai many times. Please punish me, general!" Yin Chun said with a face of shame.
In the confrontation at the end of last year, Deng Ai more or less took advantage.
They invaded Jincheng several times, destroyed the fields and forts, and plundered the population. Two Zhechong mansions were destroyed by Deng Ai.
Although Yin Chun eventually gained enlightenment and used his methods to repay others, he still fell behind.
"Although there were losses last year, you have done a lot to conquer Longyou this year, and your merits and demerits are equal to each other!"
Military law is military law, where merit is rewarded and misdeeds are punished.
Furthermore, these people are too young and their rewards are promoted too quickly, which is not conducive to their growth.
"Thank you, General!" Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now that Longyou is mine, what are your offensive and defensive strategies?" After spending such a high price, if these people don't grow up, they will really be sorry for Yang Zheng's training.
Several people looked at each other, Yin Chun cupped his hands and said: "Guo Huai and Deng Ai have been running Longyou for many years, and the defense has been stabilized. To the northeast, defend the street pavilion, and to the east, rely on Longshan to defend Linwei. Even if the enemy has a hundred thousand people,
It is also difficult to enter Longyou."
Yang Zheng nodded lightly, this was the original strategy.
Now we have Jieting, Qishan Fort and other Qilong fortresses in hand, and the mountains and rivers of Longyou are dangerous and solid.
Yang Zheng turned his attention to the others.
Zhou Zhi cupped his hands and said: "My subordinates believe that there will be no war in Yongliang in the next few years. It is better to build forts, fortresses, and beacons from Linwei to Chencang City, and use defense as offense."
This suggestion is quite Deng Ai's style.
Actively defend, surround Chencang with fortifications, and encroach on it step by step.
It can be seen that they gained a lot from the confrontation with Deng Ai.
"Not bad." Yang Zheng praised him, he was worthy of being recommended by Lu Zhi.
Yang Zheng turned his eyes to Gong Yu again.
Gong Yu touched the back of his head and said, "Wherever the general points, my subordinates will hit!"
Yang Zheng smiled.
Like Qiang generals and Hu generals, Ji generals fought bravely, took the lead, and were loyal to Yang Zheng. However, they had natural bottlenecks and most of them were not good at strategy.
Yang Zheng turned his attention to Li Te, the youngest Di general in the hall.
In fact, there is almost no big difference between the Di people and the Han people.
He is also good at farming, speaks Chinese, and all his names are Chinese.
Most of the noble people among the Di people are literate and have read books.
"My subordinates believe that we should not only guard against the east, but also pay more attention to the south." Li Te cupped his hands and said.
"Oh?" This statement was quite novel, and Yang Zheng was very interested, "You mean to be on guard against the Shu people?"
Li Te's eyes flashed, "My subordinates feel that we should prepare to conquer Shu."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Several people looked at Li Te in disbelief.
"Keep talking." Yang Zheng encouraged.
"In the Battle of Duangu, the elites of the Shu Kingdom suffered heavy casualties. There were tens of thousands of elites in Hanzhong, but Hu Ji stood idly by. This is enough to show the discord at home and abroad in Shu, and the intrigues between the government and the opposition. This is a sign of the country's subjugation. In recent years, subordinates have been traveling from the middle of Shu to merchants.
Many people in the country have heard that the Lord of Shu favored the eunuch Huang Hao, and the whole country was depressed and morale was low. The general had planned something else for him!"
Although Li Te is young, his tone and demeanor when he speaks is extremely calm.
It makes people believe what he said without even realizing it.
Yang Zheng secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder the Di people could suddenly emerge during the Wuhu chaos in China and establish the four kingdoms of Chenghan, Qiuchi, Qianqin and Houliang. You can get a glimpse of it from Li Te.
Among them, Fu Jian almost unified China...
"How to make a plan early?" Yang Zheng realized that he had neglected Li Te in the past.
It’s better not to leave such talents outside.
"Hequ County is connected with Jiandi Road. From Jiandi Road to the south, over Laishan Mountain, you will reach Chengdu! There are many Qiang warriors under our army. They climb mountains and ridges like flying apes. We can imitate Shu in Poyan City. Fei Jun secretly trains a group of Qiang soldiers for future use."
Attacking Chengdu from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau seems to have been done by Tubo during the Tang Dynasty, and their troops once pushed into the Chengdu Plain.
The Mongols were even more imaginative. The cavalry from Guzang crossed the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, detoured around the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, destroyed the Dali Kingdom, and appeared directly behind the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Very good." Yang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
From the strategies of several people, you can tell the difference.
Yin Chun and Gong Yu were slightly deficient, but Zhou Zhi and Li Te were quite insightful.
What is cultivated at home is not as spiritual as what grows in the wild.
"From now on, Yin Chun will be transferred to General Dong Zhonglang to guard Xiaoguan. According to Zhou's decree, General Nan Zhonglang will be appointed as Colonel Tianshui. Li Te will be transferred back to Guzang to join the army in Zhenxi, and Gong Yu will be appointed Captain Jincheng."
"Wei!" The four of them raised their hands at the same time.
"Report to the general, Longyou Li Yu, Liang Wei, Niu Jian, Duan Gui, You Bing and others come together to ask for an audience." The soldiers reported loudly outside the hall.
"You go and prepare first." Yang Zheng said to the four of them.
The four of them retreated.
The powerful people are so anxious to ask for an audience. It seems that the rumors of the previous census of Longyou's household registration have played a role.
Yang Zheng led three thousand soldiers here, half of the reason was for them.
In this era, the size of the territory is not that important, but the number of people controlled is the key.
"Let them in."
"only."
Not long after, more than 20 people worshiped in front of Yang Zheng.
You don’t know if you don’t know it, but you will be shocked when you see it. There are so many powerful people in Longyou, and how many are there in the whole of China?
No wonder there are only 400,000 Han people in my household registration. It turns out that most of them have been swallowed up by them.
"Why did you come to see me?"
Several people looked at each other with timid eyes.
Finally, the eldest person stood up and said, "Liang Xu, a small citizen, I only asked to see the general because I heard rumors recently that he wanted to count the households in Longyou, so I came here specifically..."
"How do you know it's a rumor?" Yang Zheng interrupted directly.
"This..." Liang Can looked at the person next to her as if asking for help.
"Niu Jian, a small citizen, pays homage to the general."
"Are you from the Niu family in Longxi?" Yang Zheng stared at the strong man in front of him with sharp eyes. According to Jiuye Camp's secret report, it was this Niu family who took the lead in robbing Qingzhuang.
Just when Niu Jian was about to reply, Yang Zheng said coldly: "You all call yourself a small citizen. From my perspective, your family has a great cause, so which one is small?"
To be able to overthrow Deng Ai, the strength possessed by these people is by no means small.
If he couldn't control them, Yang Zheng could only eat half of Long You.
In the future, if Sima Zhao reaches the top of Mount Tai and gets another official appointment and makes a wish, these guys will definitely rebel again.
This is not because Yang Zheng crossed the river and burned down the bridge, but because these powerful people want the political rights brought by Liangzhou and also want the actual interests of the local area.
They took everything, but got nothing, paid no taxes, and didn't have to perform military service.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
