Yang Zheng finally understood what it meant for the three armies to fight for their strength.

Qiang people are strong and brave, but they also admire the strong.

Jiang Wei showed great power, and the Qiang people immediately became timid.

However, the three hundred cavalrymen of the Guards Battalion beside him quickly recovered from the shock, their fighting spirit gradually rising in their eyes, some veterans slowly pulled out their swords, and their horses snorted uncontrollably.

The difference between the rabble and the elite can be seen at a glance.

"It's better to swarm up and kill this person with swords!" Jiang Fane said in a low voice.

Yang Zheng looked at the distance. He was already within the range of the bow and arrow at eighty or ninety steps. Unfortunately, he came in a hurry and did not have a bow and arrow in hand.

Look at the Shuqi behind Jiang Wei, all of them are on alert.

As long as there is even the slightest rash move, they will come to support.

Yang Zheng decisively rejected Jiang Fane's proposal, "Jiang Wei provoked me precisely because he wanted to fight with me in the field. If he goes, he will be playing into his plan."

There are about five to six hundred cavalry on the opposite side. Judging from their momentum, they are not inferior to the Wuwei camp.

Moreover, Jiang Wei beheaded his generals before the battle, and the Shu army was as powerful as a rainbow.

"Why, the Wei thief doesn't even have anyone who dares to fight?" Jiang Wei's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"General, why would you deceive me? There are so many ambushes in the mountains and forests behind." Yang Zheng didn't know if there were ambushes behind the mountains and forests, but he purposely said this to the Qiang people.

You always have to find a reason to avoid fighting, right?

Yang Zheng is not a fool. He only has more than 300 veterans of the Military Guard Camp at his disposal. This is his family fortune and cannot be lost here.

As for the Qiang people... Yang Zheng has given up hope.

In a word, the defeat at the hands of Jiang Wei was not unjust.

Guo Huai was also defeated at his hands. Wasn't he a good governor of Yongzhou?

How many generals can there be in ancient and modern times who are truly victorious in every battle?

Xiang Yu was the most courageous and unrivaled in the world. However, he was defeated and surrounded by enemies. He could not see his elders in Jiangdong again and committed suicide in Wujiang River.

There is a saying in the Book of Changes: The inchworm bends to gain trust, the dragon and snake stings to save the body.

Everyone has their peak period.

When the strong dragon has regrets, you should know not to use the hidden dragon.

If you use your own low point to hit the peak of others, you can only improve others' results.

Yang Zheng's goal is not to defeat Jiang Wei. He doesn't have that ability now. He knows this very well.

All it takes is to contain the Shu army and prevent them from attacking the besieged Xiahou Ba with all their strength.

Yang Zheng didn't believe that Jiang Wei's mere 8,000 people could really hang around in Longyou.

If that were the case, how could Guo Huai have the dignity to sit in charge of Yongliang?

Yang Zheng's rogue attitude left Jiang Wei helpless.

"Well, Yang Zheng, I will remember you!" After saying this, he laughed loudly, turned the horse's head and left.

Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If Jiang Wei had been fierce and attacked fiercely, the five thousand Qiang people might have been scattered like birds and beasts.

After all, these Qiang people are not an army.

The faces of several Qiang chiefs were ugly.

At this moment, a few old crows came from nowhere and started croaking overhead.

"Bow and arrow." Yang Zheng wanted to perform a show, kill two crows with one arrow, and boost morale.

"General, there is no..."

Only then did Yang Zheng remember that he was in a hurry and didn't bring any bows and arrows. The cavalry of the Wuwei camp were not capable of shooting on horseback, so they were usually not equipped with bows and arrows.

Not to mention the Qiang people, they don’t even have decent clothes...

I don't know what's going on with these old crows, but they keep circling overhead, making people feel panicked.

"Pick up rocks and beat them."

Yang Zheng was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

When people are unlucky, they will choke even if they drink cold water.

Under the saturation attack of rocks, the crow screamed and dropped a few bird feathers and ran away.

However, the Qiang people seemed to be in even lower spirits.

Yang Zheng didn't dare to leave them idle, otherwise they might disperse in a hurry.

He quickly ordered the construction of forts, dug deep trenches, collected rolling stones, and cut down logs.

Once people get busy, they don't have much free time to think.

Yang Zheng sent out scouts and placed several hidden sentries around the Shu camp.

After being busy for most of the day, the Qiang people were exhausted and had no energy left to run.

Yang Zhengkang, out of his generosity, killed more than a hundred Qiang horses to appease the crowd and promised that the lost horses could be retrieved from the city of Fuhan in the future.

With the aroma of meat, the morale of the Qiang people finally recovered.

However, some equipment still needs to be prepared in advance.

On the second day, the Wuwei camp carried more than 30 escaped Qiang people and pinned them in front of the camp.

There were many people who escaped, but these thirty people were more unlucky and were caught by the military guard camp that Yang Zheng had arranged in advance.

Jiang Fane looked ugly, and a dozen of them were his subordinates.

Cries and howls sounded in front of the formation.

Many people have realized what is going to happen.

The blade of the sword shone brightly in the morning sun, and he only waited for Yang Zheng's order to cut off the head.

The veterans of the Wuwei camp looked at Yang Zheng, and the Qiang people also looked at Yang Zheng.

"The military law of the Wei Dynasty states that deserters will be killed, do you know?" Yang Zheng's voice was extremely heavy.

In fact, the fact that these Qiang people were willing to follow him already showed that they trusted Yang Zheng.

The more than thirty Qiang people collapsed on the ground, sobbing, "General, spare your life, spare your life..."

But what Yang Zheng did next was beyond everyone's expectations.

He helped the Qiang people on the ground one by one and asked the old soldiers to put away their long swords.

"You are not guilty!"

There was suddenly silence in the camp, except for the tireless chattering of a few crows in the distance.

"You are not guilty!" Yang Zheng said loudly, "The army is frustrated and the people are divided. It is because the general is incompetent!"

"General!" Duan Da, Yin Chun and other military guards camp commanders bowed before Yang Zheng.

"Xingyun..." Jiang Fane and the Qiang chief expressed admiration.

Victory is victory, defeat is defeat. Is it a man to evade responsibility like Cao Shuang?

And will the problem be solved now by killing someone to establish authority?

These Qiang people are not yet an army.

They cannot be restrained by military law.

They only have the most primitive hatred and preferences. If you kill them, not only will they not obey, but they will die like a fox and hurt others.

There are five thousand Qiang people. Counting Jiang Fane, Yang Zheng's real core tribe is only about five hundred people.

If they arouse their dissatisfaction, I will have to answer for my nine lives.

The Qiang people are strong in strength, which is due to the synapse. They are strong and brave in nature and cannot be suppressed by forceful means.

In the current situation, we should be gentle. Instead of killing people to establish power, it is better to form a relationship with kindness.

As a general, you should know how to be flexible.

"You are all raised by your parents. It is not easy to grow up. If you want to go, you can go without force. I, Yang Xingyun, will never leave as long as I am with you!" Yang Zheng roared impassionedly.

"The general is not leaving, so we are willing to follow him!" Several Qiang chieftains said with moved faces.

Yang Zheng's words were passed down by the Qiang people themselves.

Soon, the resentment in the Qiang people's eyes gradually dissipated, "We are willing to accompany you!"

The Qiang people roared in confusion.

Of course, not everyone has this courage.

Some Qiang people reluctantly followed the Qiang King's words.

Now that the situation is not right, I am naturally ready to run away.

Yang Zheng also kept his promise and let them go.

In fact, if you keep it half-heartedly, you can't do anything. It will only spread complaints and make more people lose their fighting spirit.
