The biggest problem in Jishi Mountain right now is the lack of food.

Originally, Tuntian was opened in Caohan, and a turmoil made Guo Huai cheaper.

With 3,000 regular troops, plus nearly 10,000 slaves from the West Sea, eating became a major problem.

Even Chun Niang and Ah Lian can only drink gruel, so you can imagine their food.

Winter is about to begin, and without food, you can't stabilize people.

Several nearby counties, Xiping, Longxi, and Jincheng were all abandoned.

However, the government was abolished, and the local Haoqiang did not.

The biggest hero in Xiping is undoubtedly the Guo family.

Since Emperor Wen, Xiping Guo has been the object of the imperial court.

Emperor Ming succeeded to the throne, the Guo family was full of honor, father and son and uncle or Su Lie court, or a county guard.

and Empress Dowager Guo succeeded Emperor Ming's mother Zhen from her brother Guo De, and attacked the Marquis of Pingyuan,

Today, the emperor succeeds to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Guo is in charge of the trial and seizure of power, and the Guo family is full of skyrocketing, and the door is full of waiting, becoming one of the top emerging magnates.

Others don't have food, but the Guo family must have it.

I will be the leader of Xiping in the future, so it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some food from the Guo family, right?

Besides, the relationship with Guo Dun is here.

Everyone is their own person.

Yang Zheng sent people to ask Xiahou Ba for food on the one hand, and Xiahou Xuan in Chang'an for help on the other, and he rushed to the Western Capital with two thousand Qiang elites.

After the war, the people returned one after another.

Scattered all over the mountains, the scars of war have been gradually erased.

Even though winter is approaching, Hermes-Epitek is still toiling in the fields to prepare for the next year's planting.

This situation made Yang Zheng can't help but sigh in his heart.

The Chinese civilization has continued in the dark long river of history, and the wisdom and martial arts in the court are the upper limit, and the perseverance of the people at the bottom is the bottom limit.

But when they saw the soldiers, they all fled into the mountains as if they had seen ghosts.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In these years, there is no difference between an army and a thief.

In the early years, Wei Wu started his family, and the slaughter of the city was not uncommon.

Over the years, he has prided himself as orthodox and restrained, but he just doesn't dare to be blatant.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Emperor Ming is lascivious and happy, and the scholars and wealthy families are together, how honest can you expect the local officials and generals to be?

rushed to the Western Capital.

None of the officials in the Western Capital came out to greet them.

Only Guo got a few ox carts and sent some sheep wine as a reward.

But this little thing is a drop in the bucket.

Winters in the Northwest are relatively long.

It didn't reach the point where the snow flew in August, but after the autumn harvest, it became colder and colder day by day.

Hunger and cold, hunger, hunger, hunger,

The Guo family is still down, and Yang Zheng has become more and more confident in borrowing grain.

Du Yu also came to greet Yang Zheng with a few small officials.

"There are 14,000 hectares of fertile land in the western capital!"

Huangshui Valley, surrounded by mountains, Qilian Mountains shade the wind and sand in the north, Jishi Mountains shade the wind and snow of the plateau, a Huangshui from west to east, moisturize the entire valley, the land is fertile since ancient times, and what is lacking is development.

Cao Wei established the country, although he recovered a large territory, but due to the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, the population was greatly reduced, and what Cao Wei lacked was not land, but population.

Even in Yongliang Pass, the land of Longxing in the Qin and Han dynasties is deserted, and there are a large number of uninhabited areas, not to mention the northwest border.

From Dunhuang to Xiping, Longxi, and Beidi, each place is faced with the problem of having more people and fewer Hans.

This is also the motivation for Cao Wei's continuous internal relocation of Zhuyi.

The merits of the Ming Emperor's great feudal clan and the appearance of thousands of marquis at every turn further exacerbated the decline of the Wei State.

The tradition of the Western Han Dynasty that non-military merits are not allowed to be feuded has long been broken.

"Among them, 7,000 hectares of upstream fertile land are in the hands of the Guo family." Du Yu said with a complicated look in his eyes.

"So much?" Half of the land is in the hands of others.

Du pre-said: "Xiping Guo came from Taiyuan Guo, since the Han Zhao Emperor moved to the Western Capital, so far more than 200 years. ”

Although the Guo family sent sheep wine, there were only a few people who looked like stewards to greet them.

Guo Dun has rushed to Longxi to take up his post.

Guo Jian ran away with a bucket and returned to Luoyang.

I don't know who is in charge of the western capital.

"Enter the city first." Without Xiping being too guarded, Yang Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard, was the number one, and the master of the Guo family did not come to greet him, which seemed to be a little polite.

However, with the Guo family's power in Cao Wei, there are a lot of people who worship the marquis, and they belong to the high gate, so it is reasonable not to come to visit.

Qiang Hu was in turmoil, the western capital was not captured, and there were still a lot of belongings in the city.

On the main street, Han and Qiang vied for attention.

Yang Zheng cut down and destroyed the smelt without wearing, and the people in the east didn't feel anything, but the people in Xiping remembered it deeply.

He looked at the soldier with a little respect in his eyes.

If there is a mass base, things will be easier to handle in the future.

In the past, Guo Jian was the Taishou of Xiping, and the Taishou Mansion was the Guo family, and the Guo family was the Taishou Mansion.

Although Guo Jian ran away with a bucket, he still led Xiping too much.

Occupy the Taishou Mansion, and also say the past.

The Guo family had a reason to be arrogant, and Yang Zheng wanted to borrow food, so he didn't make too much trouble, and went to the barracks with the soldiers.

But I didn't expect that the barracks had already been occupied.

In the Han Dynasty, Taishou only governed the people, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, Taishou's power was further amplified, and he could also recruit troops, especially in the border areas, and Taishou had great power.

The Guo family is both the head snake and the Taishou, and the people up and down the western capital are naturally their people.

Guo Yun, the governor of Xiping County, is naturally also a member of the Guo family.

Changshi, the county governor, Gong Cao, the main book, the post superintendent, etc., are also mostly Guo family members.

When Qianghu attacked the city, I didn't see them, but now they all popped out one by one.

The Huqiang Captain's Mansion and the Taishou Mansion are two institutions, with the Guo family here, and it is not so simple to mobilize them.

"Meet Captain Yang!" Guo Yun arched his hand at Yang Zheng, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

However, this "Captain Yang" sounds a little harsh, Yang Zheng is a good captain, but Captain Huqiang and Lieutenant Lieutenant are two concepts.

Yang Zheng also dismounted and bowed his hand, "Guo Duwei is polite." ”

"A certain has vacated the barracks for the captain, and I hope the captain will not dislike the simplicity of the Western Capital."

Yang Zheng pressed a little unhappiness in his heart, "Where is it, thank you Guo Duwei for your help." ”

Guo Yun's gaze became quite meaningful, "Some small things are insignificant, and in the future, we will be in the Western Capital, and we should take care of each other." ”

"You ......"

Liu Heng jumped out and was about to scold on the spot, but Yang Zheng held his head down and said with a smile: "My subordinates don't know how to be polite, I am tired today, and I will visit tomorrow." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Guo Yun's eyes swept around, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

With a hint of sarcasm.

The barracks were in a remote corner of the northwest, neither big nor small.

It's a little dilapidated, but it's a place to stay.

In order to borrow food, Yang Zheng could only endure it.

Liu Heng scolded, "A mere lieutenant dares to be so arrogant in front of the general!" ”

Yang Zheng stretched and glanced at him.

Du Yu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and only after Liu Heng went out did he speak: "The Xiping Guo clan is deeply rooted, why didn't the general follow Zhao Chongguo's example in the first place?" To avoid Kwok? ”

Yang Zheng smiled: "Can you avoid the Guo clan by retreating to Linqiang?" ”

Some things can't be bypassed after all.

At the beginning, Yang Zheng still had some luck mentality, counting on Guo's ability to understand the righteousness and everyone cooperated happily.

But after entering the Western Capital, it was found that it was just a fantasy.

If you want to make a difference here, Guo is a hurdle that can't be bypassed!

The most fertile land in Xiping is in the Western Capital, and the largest population is in the Western Capital.

Leaving the Western Capital, what will Yang Zheng do to compete with Midang?

And Linqiang is also in the hands of the Guo family.

"I'm afraid not." Du Yu smiled bitterly.

"It's going to be winter soon, food is the biggest problem, salute first and then soldiers, and we'll go to meet Guo's family for a while tomorrow."

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.

Guo Jiaken refuses to lie down, and it will be seen tomorrow.
