"We are loyal to the general and the Wei Dynasty, otherwise we would not raise troops to attack Deng Ai. I hope the general will understand clearly!" Niu Jian's surname is Niu, and he seems to be more arrogant, so he is more courageous.

Yang Zheng's eyes focused on his face, "Didn't I reward you for your contribution?"

Any powerful man who sends troops will receive corresponding rewards based on his military exploits, either as a commander, a captain, or a commander.

There are countless pieces of gold, silver, cloth and silk.

Their children were also sent directly to the Youth Camp, where they would be used in military and political affairs at their discretion.

Yang Zheng has actually shown his utmost sincerity, seeking a balance point and integrating all the forces in Liangzhou as much as possible to cope with Sima Zhao's overwhelming power in a few years.

If it succeeds, wouldn't the huge benefits be comparable to a few fertile fields and a few serfs in Longyou?

Isn’t military merit more valuable than local tycoons with good reputations?

However, facts have proven that mud can never hold up a wall.

"We are willing to return the captured people, but we also ask the general to understand our difficulties and count the population. We also hope that the general will give me a way to survive." Liang Can said with a needle hidden in his cotton.

Now that these words have been spoken, there is naturally no need to talk about it.

That's right, after all, this is revolutionizing their lives.

Without people and land, a powerful person would no longer be powerful.

"Let's do this. Those who are willing to take the initiative to count the population will stand on the left, and those who are unwilling will stand on the right." Yang Zheng also wanted to give it a final try.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone stood on the right, except for the Li family on the left.

This made Yang Zheng quite pleased.

This shows that there are also those who are far-sighted among the powerful.

Now they are providing help in times of need, and in the future Yang Zheng will return them the icing on the cake.

In fact, this is a high degree of integration and bundling.

When Mi Zhu defected to Liu Bei, his whole family of 10,000 people, young and old, were sent as gifts.

Zhou Yu defected to Sun Ce, but also lost all his family and property.

And Li Dian joined Cao Cao and brought his own army of 10,000 people...

It's a pity that these old haters in Longyou can't see the situation clearly.

However, the Li family in Longxi, the Huangfu family and Zhang family in Anding, and the Suo family in Dunhuang are almost enough.

No matter how much you do, you are just following the path of the Sima family and playing the gentry alliance.

"I already know what you want. Let's do this. Each of your families will send out a thousand elite disciples and troops to join the army. Correspondingly, these people will be rewarded according to their military merits in the future." Yang Zheng retreated and settled for the next best thing.

Originally, this time was just to test their tone, and Yang Zheng's power in these areas was not yet stable.

Longyou has just been pacified. If chaos breaks out again, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the population even more depleted, Sima Fu and Jiang Wei will definitely get involved.

However, just because it can't be solved now, doesn't mean it won't be solved in the future.

Now, they can choose Yang Zheng, or they can return to the embrace of the Sima family.

When there is no choice in the future, all problems will be solved.

"I will obey the order!" The powerful men readily agreed.

It has been a tradition for Yongliang children since the Qin and Han Dynasties to have elite and good family members join the army.

"Remember, what I want is the elite, not just the best."

"General, you can rest assured." Niu Jian patted his chest and said in a bullish tone.

Yang Zheng smiled and said nothing.

After staying in Didao for a few days, Yang Zheng led his soldiers to Nan'an.

The iron bucket that Deng Ai worked so hard for many years to build is now cheaper than Yang Zheng's.

There are farms and forts everywhere, and the crops in the fields are growing vigorously.

Yang Zheng abolished the Mintun and Juntun, and transferred the Jiangjun Tuen to the Tuntian Division, and the Mintun was directly distributed to the registered people on a household basis. For a time, Nan'an was filled with joy, and the hostility towards Liangzhou was instantly resolved.

There are two important farming areas in Longyou, one is Nan'an and the other is Shanggui.

When Sima Yi fought against Zhuge Wuhou, he took Shangguan as the core and launched a large-scale farming and water conservancy project.

During the severe drought in Guandong, Sima Yi was able to transport five million dan of grain into Luoyang. Although his personal morality was lacking, his ability was definitely at the top of China's peak.

Therefore, Shanggui can be regarded as Sima Yi's place of Longxing.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhi personally takes charge of Tianshui.

Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade.

In Sima Yi's farmland, Yang Zheng was enjoying the cool weather.

After inspecting Nan'an, Yang Zheng rushed to Shanggui to meet with Lu Zhi.

With Lu Zhi in Tianshui, needless to say, the people's minds have long been stable, and there are green crops along the way.

"I'm so lucky to be able to return to Tianshui in my lifetime." Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh as soon as he saw Yang Zheng.

"Given time, this Guanzhong will also be governed by my uncle." Yang Zheng was not just saying something nonsense.

But this is the current situation.

If it weren't for Yang Zheng's weak foundation, Sima Fu might not be able to hold Chang'an.

Even if Chang'an is now defended, Fufeng and Feng Yi are still in danger.

However, the Shu army has never been very powerful. Jiang Wei and Liao Hua had less than 20,000 troops. Without the support of the Hanzhong army, they could not even besiege Chencang, let alone defeat it.

Lu Zhi also laughed.

The two of them talked for a while, and the soldiers asked to see them outside, "General, report on the Bingzhou battle."

It has been more than a month since Liu Heng and Ma Xun set out to conquer Bingzhou, and there should be results.

Yang Zheng took the battle report and after reading it, he couldn't help but look weird.

"Could it be a sign of defeat?" Lu Zhi asked with concern.

Yang Zheng shook his head.

"It's not a defeat, it's a victory. Sima Zhao summoned Hebei, Qingxu, and Yanyu's 260,000 troops. Bingzhou is empty, and the light cavalry rushes to attack. There should be some gains." Lu Zhi said, stroking his beard.

Yang Zheng's expression became increasingly weird, and he didn't know whether he should show Lu Zhi the battle report in his hand.

Of course there are gains.

It's just that there were too many cuts.

Liu Heng's cavalry entered Dingxiang from the clouds. They ignored military orders along the way and burned, killed, and looted. As a result, there were beacon fires all over Bingzhou and people were in panic.

Not to mention, this guy's first battle was a sneak attack on the unsuspecting Yunzhong City. After succeeding, under Pang Qing's suggestion, he drove the entire city south, attacking Jiling, Shaling, Shanan, and Beiyu along the way.

Wuquan, Yuanyang, Dingxiang and other ten cities.

If there is no resistance, take the young and strong ones and put them under the grain.

Whenever there is resistance, the captive army will be allowed to massacre and loot the city...

In Yunzhong, the two counties of Dingxiang and Xiang had long ago fallen into the hands of the Xianbei and Xiongnu. These people usually made a living by looting.

Liu Heng's actions were in line with their nature, so the more they fought, the stronger they became, like a snowball. When they set out, they had 2,500 cavalry. By the time they reached Dingxiang, there were nearly three thousand prisoners of all kinds, as well as tribesmen from the grasslands who had volunteered.

Thousands of people...

Isn't this what rogue bandits do?

The other cavalry team followed the plan in an orderly manner.

An order was issued to divide the fields and reduce taxes, and escorted the Han and Yi people to Jiuyuan of Shuofang.

However, he was blocked in Yanmen County because of this.

It should be said that Liu Heng completed the task brilliantly and even put strong pressure on Taiyuan, the core of Bingzhou.

Just burning, killing, and looting all the way directly ruined Yang Zheng's reputation.

The impact was a bit too bad.

Originally, Pang Qing was expected to restrain Liu Heng's murderous nature, but unexpectedly, he ended up helping him.

Lu Zhi looked at Yang Zheng quietly.

Yang Zheng could only bite the bullet and hand over the battle report.

After reading this, Lu Zhi also became as weird as Yang Zheng's face. After a moment, he sighed quietly, "Although this person is murderous, it is precisely because of this that he can put so much pressure on Luoyang. But from now on,

I'm afraid the people of Bingzhou will resent the general and blame the Sima family."

In the past, Yang Zheng rode on top of the Sima family and scolded them.

In the future, Sima Zhao will definitely make a big fuss about this matter.

"Then my nephew ordered him to return to the army?"

Lu Zhi's eyes flashed, "The momentum has been established, how can we stop it? How about leading the crowd to attack Yanmen and go straight into Taiyuan!"
