Chapter 363: Loyal Minister
Yongliangjun's return to the heart is an unexpected gain.
Among the more than 20,000 prisoners of the Yongliang Army, more than 15,000 were willing to continue to serve in the army.
They have fought all their lives, and they don't know what to do if they don't join the army.
The remaining 4,000 people are disheartened and just want to live a peaceful life with their families.
Yang Zheng respects their choice.
However, among the more than 15,000 people, there are many people who do not meet Yang Zheng's standards.
Fathers, sons, and brothers are in the same army.
Yang Zheng personally selected, the father and brother went back, the son and brother stayed, and the only son in the family left.
After a layoff, more than 15,000 people became more than 11,000.
However, the people who stayed behind were more combative, and they were more and more grateful to Yang Zheng.
This Chinese elite has been reborn in its own hands, and under the 12th turn of military exploits, it will be more tenacious, strong, and brave than before.
It was a little inappropriate to call the Yongliang Army again, so they all joined the guard battalion.
So far, the pro-guard battalion has expanded to 22,000 people, plus the 8,000 Xiao cavalry battalion, 8,000 Yue cavalry battalion, 4,000 light cavalry battalion, and the 8,000 parts of Shijia Haoqiang, which has just been mixed, Yang Zheng directly controls more than 50,000 troops.
In the current situation, it is necessary to expand the number of troops.
The West Plain has a population of more than 300,000, and the population of Wuwei and Hanyi is about 200,000, and the West Loop slaughters the Lujie Division, capturing 30,000 men and women, and taking Anding, and the population has increased by more than 30,000.
With a population of 5,670,000, it is not difficult to raise 50,000 soldiers.
Moreover, Wuwei is an important place for commerce and trade.
Shuzhong, Guanzhong, and Bingzhou have their own private grain imports, which has alleviated some of the grain pressure.
Of course, the root of life is not very stable in the hands of others after all.
Since April, Yang Zheng has issued a reclamation order, doing it himself, and having enough food and clothing.
At this time, the north and south of the Qilian Mountains were fertile, and as long as there was no war, it was not too difficult to be self-sufficient.
What's more, Yang Zheng is holding the two granaries of the Hehuang Valley in his hands.
At that time, Midang raised 100,000 elite soldiers and a population of hundreds of thousands just by relying on the big and small elm valleys.
In this era, the fertility of Wuwei is not under the river, the rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, and there is Xiu Tuze in the north, and the territory is no less vast than Yunmengze in that year.
To the east of Helan Mountain, there is also the West Set of the Yellow River, which is known as the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River by later generations.
The land in Hexi is almost controlled by Yang Zheng, and food is no longer a big problem.
There are two problems, one is that the foundation is too thin and takes time to accumulate, and the other is that the land is sparsely populated and the population is still insufficient, with a population of 560,000, which will be the size of a small city in later generations.
Therefore, the population of Gaochang is very attractive to the current Yang Zheng.
Of course, there are some people in the hands of the Shijia Haoqiang.
It's just that now they have just been tied to their chariots, and the political and political mutual trust between the two sides is quite weak, so it is better not to act rashly.
The strong and powerful people in Liangzhou are still within the tolerance range, with four or five thousand for the big ones and seven or eight hundred for the small ones.
More people chose to cling to them as a way to resist the internal invasion of Qianghu Xianbei.
The Northwest needs this kind of strong and powerful existence.
The nine sons of Longsheng are different, and the Northwest Shi family is still a little different from the Central Plains Shi clan.
Historically, the Central Plains gate valves rolled up to death, but the Northwest Shijia Haoqiang withstood the stormy waves of history again and again.
If Yang Zheng uproots them, he will shake the foundation of China and be a sinner in history.
Just like Sima Yi Tu Liaodong, he moved 40,000 Han households into the Central Plains.
Let the eastern Xianbei pick up a big bargain.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a month has passed.
The autumn harvest is approaching.
In recent years, God has given face, the wind and rain are smooth, and several heavy snowfalls at the end of last year have heralded this year's harvest.
The reorganization of the Yongliang Army is about to be completed.
Their addition made the number of Han troops under Yang Zheng's command skyrocket.
Although it is the Hanyi family on the surface, no one dares to play like this in private.
Especially in the military.
Blood and ethnicity are a natural bond.
Yang Zheng could only try his best to dilute it, but he couldn't avoid it completely.
"General!"
Yang Zheng, who was bowing with the new army, was interrupted by Meng Guan outside the court.
Every time he saw Meng Guan, Yang Zheng always had a bad premonition.
"Go on, this year's Keju Contest can't be disgraced." Yang Zheng encouraged the soldiers.
"Don't worry, general, who else can play our seventeen songs?" The soldiers were elated.
Yang Zheng took off his armor and threw out a sweat, "What's wrong?" ”
"Du Kuan was detained by Zhang Ye and Du Tong!"
"Huh?" Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard.
Aren't they still recommending themselves to be the Liangzhou Assassin and the General of Zhenxi some time ago?
"Do you know why?"
As soon as he thought of Du Kuan, Yang Zheng couldn't help but think of his precious son Du Bin.
Could it be that Du Kuan also did something wrong with other people's daughters?
Thinking of his sanctimonious appearance, I felt impossible.
Meng Guan said: "It's not clear yet, the people of the Nine Camps are secretly investigating. ”
The person who detained himself didn't even have an explanation, which is a bit too much to say.
"Any other news?" Yang Zheng felt that this thing was a little too incredible.
There is no need for Du Tong to turn his face with himself at this time.
Meng Guan said: "Sima Zhao takes Chen Tai as the general of the expedition to the west, and the military of Yong and Liang Prefectures is supervised during the fake festival!" ”
It's actually Chen Tai!
Yang Zheng couldn't help but admire Sima Zhao a little, and dared to use Chen Tai, it was Chen Tai who succeeded Guo Huai in history, and he was the governor of Yongliang.
"Chen Taidu Governor Yongliang, wouldn't he be able to help the general?" Meng Guan said excitedly.
Yang Zheng laughed, "You think too much, Chen Tai is loyal to Cao Wei, but he will never betray his family." ”
Yingchuan Chen, his grandfather Chen Yu, father Chen Ji, and uncle Chen Chen are all famous in the world.
Chen Yu, Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, and Han Shao are collectively known as the four chiefs of Yingchuan and are the core of the Yingchuan clan.
Therefore, Chen Tai not only represents him alone, but also has the entire Yingchuan clan behind him.
And the Yingchuan clan has long been deeply tied to the Sima clan.
In the past, the situation in the world was not clear, Sima Yi was still alive, Xiahou Xuan was also alive, although there was a change in Gao Pingling, but the ministers in the court thought that Sima Yi was just seizing power.
Therefore, Chen Tai will take action and secretly help Cao Wei and Yang Zheng to maintain the balance between the Sima clan and the pro-Cao faction.
However, now that the situation is clear, Sima Shi made a bold move, beheaded Xiahou Xuan, and destroyed Qiu Jian, and the pro-Cao forces were all defeated.
Chen Tai is still alive, which means that he is either actively or passively on the side of the Sima family.
With his arrival, the situation in Yongliang changed instantly.
"The subordinates know why Du Tong detained Du Kuan, it must be because of Chen Tai's arrival, if the subordinates are not bad, Chen Tai has already sent someone to secretly contact Du Tong, Wang Huiyang, Huang Fulong, Ma Yan and others!" Meng Guan Daigo empowerment generally said.
"The children can be taught." Yang Zheng was almost thinking in this direction.
Among the scholars, Chen Tai's influence is definitely greater than Guo Huai's.
The military of his fake festival capital Yong and Liang Erzhou is obviously more convincing than his self-styled impostor.
At this moment, Pang Qing hurriedly came, "General, there is a letter from Dunhuang." ”
"Read."
Pang Qing shook off the silk, "The emperor is too guarded, and he has always heard that the public has a loyal heart...... Now the general is in power, the four seas are peaceful, the world is peaceful, the people are in the heart, only a corner of Xiping, not from the king, Jincheng is too shou Yang Zheng to name Wei Chen, it is really a Wei thief, and the public is abusive, then Yongliang will have Song Jian, Ma Chao will also have the disaster of Song Jian and Ma Chao ......"
At the end of the reading, some of them couldn't read anymore.
This is a letter of persuasion written by Chen Tai to Huang Fulong, and Huang Fulong forwarded it to himself.
already represented his position.
Meng Guan said angrily: "After Sima and his son abolished the emperor and killed him, he killed famous people without permission, Chen Tai ignored it, but said that the general was a Wei thief, how can there be such a shameless person and shameless thing in the world!" ”
"It's called selective invisibility." Yang Zheng threw out a fresh word.
I was a little disappointed in Chen Tai in my heart.
But it's normal to think about it, throughout the ages, how many people can betray their own class and family?
The great man said, throw away illusions and prepare for struggle.
In this world, who is really a loyal minister?
