After the autumn harvest was over, Hu Fen sent someone to ask for the autumn levy to be handed over.

Xiping Jincheng is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou.

Therefore, Hu Fen's request is very reasonable and legitimate.

But how could Yang Zheng give?

asked Zhang Wei to write a crying poor letter, and said that this year was invaded by the Hexi tribes, and there was no harvest, and the family couldn't open the pot.

At the end of the letter, he also asked Hu Fen to look at the past situation and send one million stones of grain to relieve Xiping's distress......

Zhang Shu was an honest man as soon as he opened it, and after he finished writing, his face was flushed.

I don't know if I was shocked by my shamelessness, or if I really couldn't stand it.

Yang Zheng smiled bitterly: "Isn't this forced?" ”

The messenger returned with the letter.

A few days later, I ran back again.

Holding a large number of bamboo slips, it is written that Xiping has more or less Tuntian, and Hehuang has more or less Tuntian...... How much grain should be handed over is clear and clear.

is more careful than Yang Zheng's calculations.

I've seen a thick face, but I've never seen anything so thick.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but admire Hu Fen's brain circuit, eating my food, growing meat and strength, and then carrying a knife to cut me?

Yang Zheng suddenly remembered a famous saying, good brothers stick knives in their ribs.

Hu Fen's posture is another knife, and he is also a heart, and he also treats himself as a fool.

Yang Zheng asked Zhang Wei to reply again, saying how difficult it has been in Xiping for so many years, and Deng Ai, a rebellious minister and thief, has been eyeing him with a knife so far.

I did harvest some grain in Xiping, but I also have to eat and drink?

If you Brother Hu still miss the old feelings, you might as well be tolerant and tolerant, owe it first, and then when I am relieved that year, I will pay it back together.

Zhang Shu gasped and wrote.

I have to say that his writing is really good.

The writing was full of emotion, and Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh for his poverty when he read it.

In the end, in order to express his sincerity, Yang Zheng sent two carts of salt hoarded in the treasury of the Western Capital to Wuwei, which was not easy for everyone, and it was regarded as a contact with brothers.

I thought that was the end of the matter.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the envoy came to the Western Capital for the third time......

Yang Zheng didn't know how to reply.

But this time, Hu Fen is not asking for food, but for people!

In the battle of Poqiang, more than 10,000 people were captured, and there were eleven Yongliang generals.

At the beginning, one Yang Xin was cut, and there were ten people left.

These are valuable assets.

The captives are all elite soldiers trained by Deng Aixin's hard work, as well as the generals, all of whom have family backgrounds.

Go back and drink some water, eat some meat, and raise it for ten days and a half months, and then you will be a good man, and you can come and cut yourself with a knife and screaming.

It turned out that Hu Fen was going around and around for them.

He didn't mention it, he almost forgot about it.

"Where are all these people?" Yang Zheng asked the guards around him.

The guards shook their heads one by one.

In the end, it was a personal guard who found out that these people were devoting themselves to the infrastructure construction of Xiping.

Repair bridges and roads, build houses, and renovate land......

It's not hard to find someone who knows what they're doing.

Yang Zheng took the messenger to find them.

Under the autumn sun, one by one, shirtless, is in full swing.

Many people, with the help of the Xuanyi Division and Jiuye Camp, brought their families to Xiping.

Li Teh and other Di people, even the entire tribe moved here.

"People are down there, and you can persuade as many people to go back, as many people as you can bring back." Yang Zheng smiled kindly.

The envoy looked at Yang Zheng, and then looked at the fierce Liu Heng, Lin Sen and other guards behind Yang Zheng, and said unconvinced: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Yang Zheng's smile became more and more gentle, "Look, I didn't tie them with a chain rope, did I?" ”

Only then did the envoy believe it, walked into the crowd, coughed, and shouted: "Deng Tingshi Hu Jianshi will take you back!" ”

The busy crowd gradually quieted down.

The messenger thought that he had moved everyone, "Deng Tingshi Hu Tingshi will take you back!" ”

The tone was also quite uplifting.

It's just that the soldiers looked at him with some inexplicable looks.

Three points of disgust, three points of resistance, three points of resentment......

has become a neighbor with Deng Ai, and Yang Zheng naturally can't send someone to visit secretly from time to time.

For the Sima family, he was a loyal dog, and for the imperial court, he stabilized the place, built water conservancy, built dock forts, and vigorously developed Tuntian, which made an indelible contribution to the stability of the northwest.

The dock fort built by it sheltered the people of the northwest in the chaos after a hundred years.

However, he was only sorry for the soldiers under his rule.

A ruthless person is ruthless to himself, and of course he is ruthless to others.

Historically, at the age of nearly 70, he rolled down the cliff wrapped in a blanket, and created a military myth with a mere 10,000 people.

However, after the victory, in order to show his merits, he piled the heads of the enemy army with the heads of his own subordinates to build a Jingguan ......

"You, you...... Do you want to disobey? The messenger screamed.

The sound was especially harsh in the silence of the crowd.

But the crowd slowly dispersed......

For most of the year, many of the captives had become accustomed to life in Xiping.

Eat and dress warmly, be with your family, and marry two Qianghu mothers who have no family......

Yang Zheng also promised that as long as they go through two years of labor reform, no, after transformation, they will be granted the status to be returned.

If they want to join the army, the door of the army is also open for them.

The difference in treatment between the Xiping soldiers and the Nan'an soldiers is visible to the naked eye.

And what do they have to go back to?

Continue to accompany Deng Ai to play with his life, and then come to the battle of breaking the Qiang?

Deng Ai's defeat made many people lose confidence.

The envoy watched as the captives drifted away, leaving only a floating dust......

Yang Zheng said regretfully: "Oh, everyone has their own ambitions, isn't it the same as serving in the army in Xiping and joining the army in Yongzhou and Liangzhou?" Everyone is a Great Wei soldier! If the messenger has nothing else to do, please come back, and bring a cart of salt for the messenger, and send the messenger on his way......"

There is not much else in the West Sea, but the salt is the most, and it is simply endless.

A small salt lake can dig up millions of stones of salt.

Liu Heng probably made a mistake, jumped out of the way, and said with a cruel smile: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

"Don't scare the messenger, you rough embryo."

"I want to ask to see generals such as Hu Qi, Fan Zhen, Huangfu Min, and Yao Kehui." The messenger did not give up.

However, it can be regarded as grasping the key point, and the soldiers are reluctant to go back, because they are still cattle and horses when they go back.

Generals are different.

At least they are from local heroes.

At a glance, the name of Huangfu Min knows that it is from the Huangfu clan of Anding Chaona County.

Anding, like Dunhuang, is a special place in the northwest, and there have been many characters.

"Come, bring everyone." Yang Zheng didn't mind.

"Yui!" The soldiers took the order and left.

After a short time, nine people were brought.

Li Te's father, Li Mu, has defected to him, and Yang Xin is looking for death by himself, no wonder others.

"Hu Thorn Shi Deng Thorn Shi Ling will come down to pick you up." The envoy asked unusually cautiously this time.

Among the nine people, eight people looked at him with wide eyes, and then looked at Yang Zheng.

Only Huangfu Min lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

All this was seen by Yang Zheng.

A whole summer of labor, let them tan.

Some still have scars from whipping on their faces, which were the punishment they had been given when they had escaped many times and were recaptured.

"Really, really my brother sent you to pick me up, us?" Hu Qi cried and said in his voice.

The envoy looked at Yang Zheng, "General Yang, my general, please look at the past feelings......

Back then, in Guo Huai's Yongliang Army tent, everyone regarded Yang Zheng as a thorn in the eye, and only Hu Fen interceded for himself.

"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"

Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, the Battle of Fengzhong, Xiahouba was trapped in Fengzhong, and Yang Zheng went to Minshan to ask for help from the Qiang people, which was also the grain and grass supported by Hu Fen.

Now that he has come to this point, Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And it's useless to keep these people, they have their own family backgrounds, they won't defect to themselves, killing them will make the family behind them more supportive of Deng Ai Hufen.

His reputation among the people of Yongliang will also decline.

Not all Haoqiang are hostile to Yang Zheng.

In the post-Three Kingdoms period, captured enemy generals were rarely killed.

Unless Lu Bu and Guan Yu are at this level.

Wen Qin and Wen Yuan's father and son rebelled and betrayed the country, defected to Soochow and surrendered to Sima Zhao.

After the Battle of Breaking Qiang, these people were already afraid of Yang Zheng.

If they are released, this fear will also spread among the Yongliang army.

"Let them go, you have also seen the situation in Xiping, hunger and cold, and I hope that the envoy will tell the history of Hu Thorn and support one million stone of grain." Yang Zheng opened his mouth.

The messenger opened his mouth wide and looked at Yang Zheng in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

No matter how you look at these nine people, they are not worth a million stone of grain.

Yang Zheng also felt that his mouth was too open, and said with a dry smile: "You go back and tell Hu Thorn Shi first, the price can be negotiated." ”

Isn't there a saying? Look at the sky's asking price, and pay back the money on the ground.
