"Bring people in!" In just two years, Zhang Te has been promoted from a long man to Sima, and his speed is actually faster than Yang Zheng.

But he deserves it.

Three or four hundred men, women, and children were brought to the bottom of the hall.

In the morning, he still looked high-spirited, but now he is all like frosted eggplant.

Some still have wounds on their bodies and have been taught their due.

"Xiping Changshi, the city gate guards, the master bookkeeper, the post superintendent, etc. are all arrested here, and none of the 332 members of the Guo family have escaped." Zhang Te's tone was more respectful than before.

"Not bad." Yang Zheng praised.

Turning his gaze to the hall, many men and women wore silk and satin, gold and jade, and instinctively felt some disgust.

"Where is the main book of Xiping?" Yang Zheng asked.

No one in the hall had the courage to answer, but everyone's eyes turned in one direction.

A middle-aged man's whole body trembled, he couldn't hide from it, and he crawled with him, "Small, villain." ”

"How much grain does each county in Xiping collect and how much does it pay this year? How many people were killed by thieves? ”

"This ......" The man was stunned and looked at the people around him for help.

But the few people around him all bowed their heads.

"Where is the post of Xiping Governor?"

This time, the young man in his twenties climbed out of the pile.

The superintendent post is lightweight, conveys fatwa, supervises subordinate officials, examines criminal prisons, and examines illegality, etc., which is equivalent to later generations of inspectors and prosecutors.

Yang Zheng looked at this person's appearance of excessive alcohol and irregular menstruation, and felt that there was no need to talk nonsense.

But still give him a chance, "How many prisons are there in the Western Capital this year, how many are traitors, and how many are not arrested?" ”

"Yu, General Yu, this year, Qiang is in chaos, all the prisons have been abolished, and no one has been arrested." This man is also prepared.

"What about last year?"

"Go, last year's ......"

"Where is the long history of Xiping......"

Yang Zheng asked one by one, and as he expected, there was no one who did the right thing.

It's no wonder that Ye Wudai dared to draw a knife with Xiping, if the Guo family had a top use, Ye Wudai would not have expanded to sixty or seventy thousand.

Guo Dun, who can come in handy, is still unwelcome.

"From today onwards, all your official positions will be dismissed, and this general will report to the history of the Qinzhou assassination."

If the name is not right, it is not good, and everything has to go through a process.

Some people sat on the ground, some cried, and some scolded.

Yang Zheng didn't bother to pay attention.

Xiahou Ba, the assassin of Qinzhou, is his future uncle, Xiahou Xuan, the governor of Yongliang, is his future father-in-law, and the general Cao Shuang is his own head of the family.

With such an iron relationship and such a hard backer, it's a pity not to bluff people.

"Do you have any objections?"

"We are all appointed by the imperial court, what qualifications do you have to remove us as a captain of the Qiang Guard?" Someone in the crowd yelled.

Liu Heng spat a mouthful of spit, and was about to lift someone with a red neck.

Yang Zheng grabbed him and said, "What do you want to do in broad daylight?" Is there still a royal law? ”

Liu Heng looked at Yang Zheng in a daze.

"We are court officials, not bandits and bullies." Yang Zheng had a cold face, "General Ben is the most fair, since you have grievances, then give you a ride, come here." ”

The sound of the first knife coming out of the sheath outside the hall was loud, and more than a dozen soldiers with disheveled heads carried knives inside, all fierce and vicious.

The Guo family was frightened and cried on the spot, "Spare your life, the general spare your life!" ”

"That's not what General Ben meant." Yang Zheng had a headache, and it was not a good thing for his subordinates to be too murderous, "Prepare some carriages, send them all to Chang'an, and let the governor of Xiahou judge it." ”

The cries and begs for mercy stopped.

"How dare you let us go to Chang'an?"

Yang Zheng smiled: "Why don't you dare? General Ben stood up straight and walked upright. ”

"Okay." More than a dozen people in charge of the Guo family arched their hands.

The others crawled out.

"Why don't you ...... on the road," Liu Heng made a throat-slitting motion.

Yang Zheng patted his head, "What are you thinking about every day?" ”

The Guo family also did not want to stay in the Western Capital, so they tossed all night, and the next day there were hundreds of carts and small cars, and more than 1,000 domestic slaves and servants, and they went east.

When the gang left, the Western Capital was quiet.

At noon, the treasury was also counted.

130,000 stone of grain, 1,800 collars of iron armor, 5,000 sets of leather armor, and countless weapons such as bows, crossbows, ring-headed knives, spears, and large shields.

The Guo family took away a lot of gold and silver money, and Yang Zheng is not uncommon for this thing.

Looking at the mountains of grain, Yang Zheng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't even borrow 10,000 stones.

For the rich and unkind to become like this, the sin deserves it.

There are too many poor days, and it is really uncomfortable to get rich overnight.

Thinking of the ragged people in the city with vegetables on their faces, Yang Zheng waved his hand, "The people in the city will get one stone of grain per household!" ”

"General Rende!" Du pre-rushed Yang Zheng and gave his hand.

Yang Zheng smiled, but it was not all benevolence, if he wanted to gain a foothold in Xiping, he would either get the support of the local heroes or the support of the local people.

Yang Zheng wanted to cooperate with the Guo family, but the Guo family didn't look down on him at all.

And the power of the people is greater, but it will take time to earn their trust.

"How to deal with the 9,000 domestic slaves and tenant slaves of the Guo family?" There was a glimmer of light in Du Yu's eyes.

was keenly captured by Yang Zheng.

After being cheated in various ways, Yang Zheng also learned to be smart, and he could observe the words and expressions from the other party's tone and demeanor.

This is actually Du Zheng testing Yang Zheng.

The children of the family are talented and learned, and it is too normal for good birds to choose trees and perch.

It is useless for those who get him not to get his heart.

Friendship is friendship, and the future is the future.

There is also a Du family behind Du Pre.

In fact, Xiahou Xuan sent him as his long history, and he may not have the intention of checking and balancing himself.

"The tenant slaves remain unchanged, the domestic slaves are changed to tenant slaves, and all of them are transferred to the name of the Huqiang School Governor's Mansion to enrich the people's reclamation power, and in the future, Xiping will be stable, and they can be granted fields and restored to civilian households."

Land was concentrated in large quantities, the population was confined, and the people who lost their land became powerful tenant slaves.

Compared with tenants, tenant slaves lost their personal freedom, and the powerful could be killed at will, and the government was powerless to picket.

"Yes." Du pre-respectfully bowed his hand to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng also returned the gift.

There is more than one western capital in Xiping County, as well as large and small cities such as Linqiang, Anyi, Poqiang, and Longqi.

In the first four years of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang sent Zhonglang to Pingxian and others to lure Beihe Qiang with money and silk to sacrifice Longqi, Yungu and Yanchi, set up Xihai County, and forcibly relocated tens of thousands of Han people to enrich Xihai.

Wang Mang fell, Beiheqiang counterattacked, and Xihai County was abandoned.

In the name of the captain of Huqiang, Yang Zheng summoned the city guards to return to the western capital to report on their work.

Except for the Broken Qiang guard general Wang Mai, the two cities of Linqiang and Anyi were all indifferent.

These two cities were originally captured by Guo Dun, and naturally they were taken over by the Guo family.

Linqiang has always been the location of the Qiang's school governor's mansion, and Zhao Chongguo's Tuntian is here.

At the beginning, the Guo family couldn't hold these cities, and now they naturally don't have the ability.

There are many dreams in the long nights.

In case these Guo family members have a hot brain and hook up with fans, it will not be good.

Cut the Gordian knot.

Yang Zheng transferred nearly 10,000 Hu slaves in Jishi Mountain.

For so long, these people have been trained to be more submissive.

To be honest, under Ye Wudai, it is not necessarily more comfortable than under Yang Zheng.

At least Yang Zheng didn't let them go hungry.

Being able to eat and live is already good in this world.

More than 10,000 slaves were gathered, all of whom were Ding Zhuang who followed Ye Wudai to the east and west.

Shao Tiyan and others have become the best example.

There is meat to eat and drink wine, and his status is worse than that of Qiang, but compared with slaves, there is a world of difference.

Outside the city of Linqiang, slaves carried ring-headed knives and lined up under the city.

But there was no despair in their eyes, but longing.

"Break through the city, and the general will recruit two thousand warriors as an army!" Shao Tiyan's Hu Ying shouted in the crowd.

When you become a soldier, you are qualified to eat meat, drink wine, and marry a woman and have sons.

The most primitive pursuits of the body constantly stimulated the slaves.

What is lacking in the Northwest is not benevolence, but order.

Stable order, order that allows everyone to eat and live.

So after cleaning up the leader of the Hu people, the first thing that the Hu people thought of was not betrayal, but attachment.

"Kill!" In the cold wind, the ragged slave raised his ring-headed sword and let out a beastly roar.

Oh, and the roars converged into an ocean.

"Kill!"

Yang Zheng looked at everything expressionlessly in the back.

I thought it would be a big battle, but I didn't expect that before the Hu people could make a move, Linqiang would open the city and surrender.

The Guo family went out of the city in despair.

Linqiang City is so easy to get in the bag.

The sooner the weather turns colder, the sooner the war ends, the sooner next year's spring plowing can be arranged.

Yang Zheng kept moving and waved his army to the east.

Unexpectedly, the defenders of Anyi City found out that Yang Zheng led the army south, and he had already run away.

This made Yang Zheng a little puzzled, since he didn't dare to resist, wouldn't it be over if he surrendered earlier?

Why bother.

However, the most strategically valuable city in Xiping is not these two cities, but the Guiyi City in the south and north of the Yellow River.

In the first year of Emperor Yongping of the Han Ming Dynasty, Zhonglang broke Dou Gu and captured the general Ma Wu to burn Dangqiang, and the leader Dian Wu was attached, and Dou Lin, the captain of the Qiang school, played and was named Dian Wu as the Marquis of Guiyi, and built Guiyi City in the north of the Yellow River.

And the south of the Yellow River, opposite the city of Guiyi, is the land of the Qiang people's dragon xing, the big and small elm valleys.

At the beginning, Ye Wudai was in turmoil, Guo Jian ran away, and quietly took Guiyi City, stationed heavily defended by heavy troops.

When Yang Zheng took Guiyi City, he choked the throat of the big and small elm valleys.

Similarly, Mi Dang took the city and choked Xiping's throat.

Two allies are about to face each other.
