It is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with the North Plateau Mountain in the north and the Lishui River in the south, and there are many river valleys and river beaches.

It is the commanding heights of the entire Longxi County.

Yang Zheng and Zhang Te inspected the surrounding area, the crops were lush and green, and the grass was scattered with cattle and sheep.

About 100 miles to the west is the Yellow River.

At the turn of spring and summer, the water is tender and the grass is tender, and the Qiang people migrate here, and the camp is a chess game.

Historically, the Tang Dynasty opened up Hezhou, Kuozhou, Shanzhou, Minzhou and other places here.

But this era has only primitive barren life.

"There's a scout here." Yang Zheng always felt that when he was looking at the Qiang people, the Qiang people were also looking at him.

"Is the general worried that Jiang Wei will detour here?" Zhang Te asked.

Of course Yang Zheng doesn't know how Jiang Wei fights, but it's always right to be careful.

Caohan connects Hexi and Longyou, and captures this place, which can be high and down, attacking Didao to the east, or attacking Hexi to the north.

"If you don't guard against the Shu people, you must also guard against the Qiang people." Yang Zheng explained, "During this period of time, you led people to increase the height of the city wall and prepare more wood and stones. ”

"No!"

"Tomorrow, find someone to pretend to be a merchant and find out the details of these Qiang people."

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Te asked hesitantly.

This is indeed a problem, there are too few people available at the disposal, and diplomatic talent is even more scarce.

Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead, "Let that Yu Hu go, didn't he defect to us?" It should be used, oh, by the way, Du Bin is so sharp-tongued, let him go too. ”

Zhang Te's eyes suddenly became strange, "It won't be a bad thing, right?" ”

Yang Zheng smiled: "If it's bad, don't we just have an excuse to send troops?" Look at the cows, sheep and healthy horses on the other side, aren't they exactly what we are scarce? ”

Zhang Te also laughed.

Walking and chatting, before you know it, you will return to the city of Caohan.

The cavalry members lazily leaned under the city wall, pointing at the soldiers who were training their swords and shields, sometimes laughing, sometimes scolding.

Zhang Te couldn't help frowning when he saw it, and was about to scold.

Yang Zheng stopped him.

There's no need to be nervous, the Wuwei Battalion is lazy now, but it feels like a sharp blade in a sheath.

But man is not a sword after all, he needs to relax and rest.

Even the blade of a knife will crumble.

Yang Zheng didn't want his subordinates to be a group of cold-blooded machines that could only kill.

And they turned a blind eye to all the things that they often warmed the beds of the widows in the city.

And they are indeed qualified to give instructions to the soldiers, and their invincing is actually guidance.

"Younger generations, you take it easy." Yang Zheng dismounted and said with a faint smile.

"General!"

The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion all stood solemnly, and the lazy state on their bodies disappeared in an instant.

Yang Zheng was very satisfied with this reaction, and waved his hand, "Don't be formal, you should rest now." ”

The old pawns relaxed one by one and chatted with Yang Zheng without a word.

"General, there have been more suspicious people in the city recently." Yuan Xiaodao.

He was a veteran of the Wuwei Battalion, who followed Yang Zheng to break out of the Shenling Mountains, and was abandoned in Wugong City after being injured.

The injuries were not serious, but in that environment, starvation also starved people to death.

When Yang Zheng found him, he only had his last breath left.

Let Cheng Shisan be treated a little, he survived by himself, and since then he has been grateful to Yang Zheng, and he has not even returned to Wancheng's hometown, and has followed wholeheartedly, often saying that there are only a few broken tiles at home, and his relatives have long been separated, and it is a lonely life to go back.

"Is that so?"

Whenever Wei Shu fights, the scouts come and go frequently, which is not new.

Yuan Xiao confirmed, "There are already a few brothers of Mali who are watching. ”

Yang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Is it the Qiang people or the Shu people?" ”

Yuan Xiao shook his head, "Pretending to be a Guanzhong accent, it is wrong to be heard by the brothers." ”

Yang Zheng suddenly became interested, "Where do they live?" ”

"The Feng family's guest house in the city."

"Find two brothers, and come with me to meet them later."

"No!" Yuan Xiao arched his hand.

When I returned to the mansion, I remembered that Chun Niang had been here for two days, and I hadn't seen anyone, so I was a little reluctant to go, so I took off my armor and bought a few catties of mutton and a few catties of wheat millet in the market in the west of the city.

These days, my busy feet don't touch the ground, and when I'm tired, I sleep in the barracks.

I don't usually go back to my official residence.

There were originally county commanders, Sima and others in Caohan City, but they disappeared when they were in turmoil, and now no one cares about them.

It is also convenient for Yang Zheng.

A few crooked yellow wood pillars take advantage of the door plaque, a row of old tiles are as uneven as the old teeth of eighty or ninety-year-old people, and the loess wall has long been mottled.

The buildings in the city are basically in this style, and even the dock forts outside the city are not as good.

For Yang Zheng, it would be good to have a place to live in this world, and it is not so exquisite.

"Ah, the general is back."

When Yang Zheng was stunned outside, a little girl in the courtyard had already discovered him.

There was a sudden commotion inside.

"General." Chun Niang led a group of little girls to greet them timidly.

I haven't seen her for two or three months, Chun Niang has lost a lot of weight, and she didn't have the wind and dust at Cao Shuang's banquet that day, which shows that she has not had a good time during this time.

For this girl who is willing to follow him, Yang Zheng can't help but feel soft in his heart.

A mist suddenly rose in her eyes, which was extremely pitiful.

In front of so many children, Yang Zheng was not good at showing too intimacy, comforting a few words, seeing that the courtyard was cleaned up, and a few looms were purchased, he secretly praised her as a diligent girl.

The little girls were also sensible, and took the mutton and the wheat and went away with joy.

Leave the lonely man and widow alone in a room.

Chun Niang sometimes lowered her head, and sometimes looked up at Yang Zheng with a blushing face.

The eyes are gentle and dripping.

The northwest is dry, Yang Zheng unconsciously got dry and dry, and he didn't know what to say, he was a well-known straight man in his previous life, and he didn't have much enlightenment in this life, coughing twice, "You have worked hard." ”

"I can see the general again, Chun Niang is not hard."

There are people in this world who are willing not to abandon them, and the sky treats them well.

Who else is this world still twisting and pinching?

There are some things that should be done or still done, isn't dragging it harmful?

In the past, it was a day of panic and danger, but now there is a place to stay.

Besides, shouting and killing with a group of big men every day, I always feel that the anger is getting bigger and bigger.

This is not a long-term way, you have to reconcile yin and yang.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Xiao's voice came from outside, "General, is the general here?" ”

Is this guy so efficient?

I've come to the door, and if I want to do something, I can't.

You can't say that Captain Pontus has something to do, so you wait outside first?

Chun Niang's face became more and more ruddy.

Yang Zheng really didn't want to surprise the beauty, and apologized: "The military affairs are urgent, and he will come to visit again in the future." ”

Chunniang laughed "poof", "This is the general's home, how can I visit?" ”

Yang Zheng smiled awkwardly, and secretly said that he seemed to be a little anxious.

The affairs of men and women are still natural, and it is good to come and go.
