"This must be Sima Fu's trick!" Wei Guan concluded directly, "If Tian Zhang wanted to surrender, he should have contacted us when our army captured Longyou. Why did he wait until now?"

Yang Zheng thinks so too.

If you intervene in Chencang at this time, you will definitely conflict with Jiang Wei.

No matter how many conflicts there are secretly with the Shu Kingdom, as long as they don't break up, there is a possibility of cooperation.

When Sima Zhao counterattacks in the future, the Shu army's roar in the Qinling Mountains will also be a major support.

"So the general might as well wait and see what happens." Wei Guan advised.

Yang Zheng shook his head, "Chencang is an important town in Guanyou. If it is in the hands of the Sima family, it will be used as a basis to attack Longyou in the future."

"The general wants to capture Chencang?" Du Yu said.

"Jiang Wei's advance in occupying Fufeng is actually the wing of our army. He might as well help Jiang Wei capture Chencang." In terms of military matters, Yang Zheng still has some insights.

Without Chencang, the Shu army would most likely not be able to operate Fufeng.

They would only plunder them and then turn around and retreat to the Qinling Mountains.

And with Chencang, Jiang Wei would have a base to leave Guanzhong, and the forces of Shu would enter Guanzhong.

No matter how the Shu Kingdom fights internally, it is an out-and-out mortal enemy of Cao Wei.

In other words, Shu will not join forces with Sima Zhao to defeat itself.

So Jiang Wei is still valuable.

Du Yu quickly understood what he was thinking, and Wei Guan laughed dryly.

"Order Yin Chun to ride in Guanzhong and sweep all the major farmlands in Guanzhong. Zhou Zhi went out to Longshan to block Sima Wang. If Tian Zhang truly surrenders, he will return to Longxi and the city will belong to Jiang Wei." He should have eaten Longyou by himself.

Give Jiang Wei a sip of soup.

Two days later, the news came back.

But it's not Chencang, but Yanmen.

Liu Heng's coalition forces actually broke through Yanmen, and the grassland ministers drove straight in and fought with Wang's, Guo's, and Liu Bao's troops who came for reinforcements.

Of course, a piece of loose sand cannot compete with the top nobles, nor the top generals.

Liu Bao's three thousand Huns cavalry were also quite powerful.

Liu Heng and Ma Yan retreated to Yunzhong City, and the coalition forces were bent on plundering. Naturally they were no match for them, but they were not willing to retreat.

You chase me in Bingzhou.

In Pang Qing's reply, he suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all the tribes in Monan and then attack Youzhou.

Yang Zheng fought with the Sima family, but it was the Monan tribes that were destroyed...

The general will not accept his orders, and plans will never change quickly. How to fight is their business.

Yang Zheng sent an envoy to ask Beidi, Shuofang and Jiuyuan counties to cooperate fully.

Anyway, we have to put enough pressure on Sima Zhao. He doesn't care about Bingzhou. Do you want Youzhou? Do you want Jizhou?

These areas have been managed for decades, providing the Sima family with an endless supply of food, grass, and reinforcements.

In this Qingqi attack, Liu Heng and Pang Qing brought enough surprises to Yang Zheng, and also brought back a lot of scares.

One is thoughtful and the other is decisive.

This kind of massacre of the city will definitely be talked about in the future.

But then again, without this iron-blooded method, would Yunzhong and Dingxiang counties have been able to obtain it so easily?

War is not about treating guests to dinner, where everyone politely exchanges cups and cups.

This is a life and death struggle!

When Cao Cao started his career, what unethical things did he not do?

The mainstream of this era is killing.

What's more, most of the people who died under their swords were foreigners, and Yunzhong and Dingxiang counties were originally the hometown of the Han family.

After so many years of training, the youth camp has finally produced a few talents. The key is that they are not very young and have a promising future.

"General, I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant!" The maid in the palace came to report happily.

Yang Zheng was also very happy. With this child, Xia Houzhi no longer had to worry about anything.

"Son or daughter?"

"General, I am a young master."

"Are mother and son both safe?"

"Everything is very good, everything is very good!" The maid smiled from ear to ear.

"As a reward, everyone in the inner palace will be given a piece of Shu brocade." Yang Zheng waved his hand.

After the trade with Sichuan increased, Shu brocade and tea came like a tide.

What was exchanged was mostly gold, jade, gems, pepper and spices, as well as a lot of Pu Tao wine, mink cloaks and other luxury items.

It's clear who is enjoying these things.

"Thank you, thank you general! Thank you general." The maid was overjoyed.

A piece of Sichuan brocade is expensive, almost two taels of gold, which is enough to feed and clothe their family for half a year.

In the entire inner palace, there are only about two hundred maids and servants, and more than two hundred pieces of Shu brocade can be regarded as a reward for their hard work for so many years.

The house immediately burst into laughter and laughter, with smiles as bright as flowers.

The front of Xiahou Zhi's bedroom was decorated with lights and a long carpet from the Western Regions.

Yang Zheng always forbids extravagance and waste. He usually only eats two meat and one vegetable. The other three women also come from poor backgrounds and do not have too much luxury. They are satisfied with having rich clothes and meat.

The only one who is extravagant is Xiahou Zhi. The Xiahou family has been obsessed with food for generations, and it will definitely not change in a short time.

Yang Zheng persuaded Xia Houzhi many times, and Xia Houzhi restrained himself a little.

Today is a happy day, so I don’t care about these things.

Several women in the house were chattering and blocking Zai Yang Zheng out of the house, saying it was unlucky.

Hearing the loud cry of a baby in the house, Yang Zheng stood outside the door and giggled a few times, feeling a huge stone fall from his heart.

It is naturally a taboo for a legitimate wife to have no legitimate son.

As time went by, it became difficult for Xiahou Zhi to secure his position.

In private, Yang Zheng and Xia Houzhi also have a deep relationship.

Yu Gong and Liangzhou have more or less reaped the political dividends of Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan, and will continue to reap them.

With this kind of relationship, the Kanto nobles would be more or less able to show off their face.

Although the Xiahouxuan clan was wiped out, the inheritance of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan still existed, and the Xiahou clan was still the great noble clan of Guandong.

There are also many noble clans who are clinging to each other with the Xiahou clan. This in itself is a potential force that cannot be used now, but will definitely be used in the future.

Yang Zheng had been standing outside the door, watching his servants coming in and out, and he also did official business directly outside the door.

After the establishment of Liangzhou Xingtai, there was not much official business.

In terms of government affairs, there are three people, Lu Zhi, Du Yu and Wei Guan, as well as various small and large officials.

Several outstanding graduates from the Youth Camp also started working in the industry.

Therefore, the only thing Yang Zheng did personally was the military.

Liangzhou is different from Luoyang or Chengdu, everything is a start-up.

But precisely because it is a start-up, there are not so many interest groups and there are not so many burdens.

Historically, the Shu Kingdom had a registered population of more than 900,000 and a military strength of about 100,000, but there were as many as 40,000 officials...

As for Wei and Wu, it is even more shocking.

The larger the gentry, the more bloated the bureaucracy will inevitably be.

Liangzhou's bureaucracy has always been weak, so the total number of officials is less than 3,000.

This can be regarded as the advanced nature of Liangzhou.

After three days of guarding, Yang Zheng finally saw his son.

Xia Houzhi had a weak but happy smile on his face, and the sadness on his face finally disappeared.

The maids voluntarily quit.

"Husband!"

"Thank you for your hard work, madam." Yang Zheng stroked Xia Houzhi's face.

Xia Hou stopped crying and shed tears.
