Cen Peng came back from Luoyang and caught up with December 8th. This is La Day and is one of the important festivals. It is even more lively than the New Year.

As a general in charge of military affairs in Yuzhou, Cen Peng must organize celebrations with the Yin Shi, the prefect of Nanyang, as usual.

The ceremony was lengthy, but Cen Peng did not look tired at all. Instead, Xiao looked at the Nanyang people with a humble face, knocking on their slender waists and drums and dancing and jumping.

"From the year when Xinmang was destroyed, I have not spent the La Day in Nanyang for four years. Now I finally see the customs of my hometown again. I feel so much emotion." Cen Peng began to talk to Yin Shi in a mess.

Compared with Chang'an, the La Festival in Nanyang is quite different. For example, the most important part of "Sacrificing the Kitchen God" is that people in Guanzhong often kill pigs, but Nanyang kills...

The dog must be a yellow dog.

Cen Peng looked at Yin Shi and smiled and said, "I heard that this custom originated more than a hundred years ago. The fifth-generation ancestor of the prefect met the Kitchen God on La Day and killed a yellow dog to sacrifice. Yin family has been blessed by the Kitchen God for generations and became a wealthy person in the county. The people of Nanyang rushed to follow suit."

"This is a misrepresentation among the people." Yin Zhi was extremely cautious since he defected to Wei State and quickly denied it.

The fact is that their Yin family was in Qin and had never had a high title and outstanding officialdom in the Western Han Dynasty. They were not very powerful, but they suddenly became rich in several generations. They occupied more than 700 hectares of land. The scale of chariots and horses and slaves could be compared with those of the princes, and their reputation was also spread to Xinye. Others did not know the way of Yin family making a fortune, so this rumor was that the Yin family would not deny it in order to make a fortune in order to myth.

But Yin Shi felt that it was best to explain this legend clearly and must not be passed on to the fifth ethics.

The emperor's appointment of him as a young general who surrendered to Nanyang as the temporary prefect of Nanyang has attracted a lot of criticism. There are some rumors in the court that the fifth rein took Liu Xiu's wife and the Yin family...

The emperor neither refuted the rumors nor admitted it, which was interesting, but Yin Shi knew that even if the fifth reunion had such a meaning, he would not use him with this.

He originally thought that the fifth reunion wanted to use Yin as a horse bone to absorb local powerful factions in Nanyang to support the place as soon as possible. However, since entering Nanyang with Cen Peng, the Wei army directly treated the powerful people who were defeated and driven away by the Red Eyebrow Army as dead, and the fleeing powerful people came back and found that their land was still confiscated. They protested against the general's shogunate and were quickly suppressed by Iron Fist.

For those farmers who received the Red Eyebrow Army's division, Yin Zhi "reclaimed their land to the government" under the order of the fifth family, but they exchanged new land deeds on the spot. The former tenant farmers were very happy and were grateful to Emperor Wei, feeling that this matter was safe, and they only felt sorry for the Red Eyebrow Army. They did the first good deeds, but they did not have time to gain the trust and unity of the people of Nanyang.

In contact with the imperial edicts sent by the court, and then the Fifth Reunion eliminated the powerful people in Weibei and moved them to Liu in Hebei. It seems that although this emperor did not directly call for the powerful people in Nanyang like Red Eyebrows, killing people with a soft knife is even more deadly.

"The Fifth Emperor didn't want the 'Thousand-Mile Horses' in Nanyang at all. He just wanted to be loyal to the group of inferior horses such as tenants!"

That's right. The merger of powerful people in Nanyang is deeply rooted. It is rare that Red Eyebrow and Wang Mang have been cleaned up. The fifth reunion can directly control the grassroots. Why do you have to be a "middleman" and let them make a fortune in everything?

Among the soldiers Cen Peng's newly trained soldiers, they also recruited local poor peasants, refugees, and even red-eyed prisoners of war in Nanyang. They were only willing to serve as auxiliary soldiers for the powerful armed forces that came with their faces. It seems that the fifth reunion is determined to build a new "pig turbulent courage".

After experiencing the destruction of the family and following the wrong person to a series of events of "betraying the Liu family", the temperament changed drastically and became much smarter. He suddenly realized: "Use me as the prefect of Nanyang, not to unite the surname, but to make the powerful people hate the Yin family deeply!"

Regardless of whether Yin Zhi's enmity to Wei was forced by the situation or the snake and rat, if he did not rely on Cen Peng's army to protect him in the past six months, he might be assassinated by the resentful and powerless tyrants at any time!

Now, Yin Shi couldn't do anything to do if he didn't try his best to be loyal to the fifth reunion, but he was still nervous. Now that he has already boarded the pirate ship. Once he loses his official position, he means nothing is left and even his life is not guaranteed. Any news that will make the fifth reunion frown may turn into the reason why Yin Shi loses power. So, Cen Pengben had no bad intentions and casually mentioned the rumors of his ancestors. Yin Shi tried to explain:

"General Cen, the rise of Yin clan was just after his ancestor Guan Yiwu. He used Guanzi's business to accumulate wealth slowly. The mediocre people didn't recognize him and talk nonsense."

As for what kind of business it is, whether it is a slave trader or usury, or embezzling other people's land, the Yin consciousness is ambiguous.

Cen Peng was stunned, and then felt the nervousness of Yin Shi and couldn't help laughing. He was a soldier and didn't have so many bad intentions.

Look at the street outside the General's Mansion in Zhennan, a group of old men and women finished the sacrifice. After drinking some wine, they even played the game of "hiding hooks" in groups. This was the fun that was passed on to the Hanwu Palace. During the game, a group of people secretly held a small hook in the hands of one of them, and the other party guessed which one of them was in. The guessed one was the winner.

Cen Peng thought to himself: "Yin Shi is also in this game. Your Majesty's mind is the hook. After passing through Luoyang, it seems to have reached my hands. Every word I say will make him stare at my hands and guess continuously."

But this is just a self-indulgent act. The fifth reunion disdains to spend so much thought on this little character. After Cen Peng met the emperor again in Luoyang, he found that what His Majesty liked to play recently was all conspiracy.

"The Holy Emperor's plan is not something that can be seen by the 'yin' of the frightened bird."

So Cen Peng put away the idea of ​​in-depth exchanges with Yin Shi and working together, and only treated him as an ordinary subordinate. After returning to the hall, he talked about the important things.

"I went north and asked the prefect to send someone to lobby Jia Fu and Deng Feng, what's wrong?"

Yin Shi sighed: "The officials below were incompetent and sent three groups of detailed works, but they were unable to convince Deng Feng. The last man was even cut off his tongue to show his breaking with me!"

He and Deng Feng were not only in the same county but also in the same county, but also in the same family. They had been together since childhood and worked with Liu Bosheng's army. However, when Nanyang was about to be invaded by the Red Eyebrow, the two made different choices: Yin Shi chose to join Wei, and Deng Feng decided to stay and defend his hometown. With the help of King Li of Chu, he occupied a corner of Nanyang.

Now, since Emperor Wei only needs a "dog" like the Yin family who is familiar with the place and refuses to restore land and manor to the exiled Nanyang powerful people, then how could Deng Feng, as a "wolf" who was unruly and obsessed with the power of the powerful people in the past, be willing to bow his head and put on his neck?

When he learned that Deng Feng refused to surrender, Cen Peng shook his head slightly. Although Deng Feng was under his command, he was one of the most elite armed forces in Nanyang. He was fighting in his hometown in a small-scale combat power, suppressing the Red Eyebrow Army. After Cen Peng went south, he sent troops south several times and had a conflict with him. Deng Fengxian is worthy of being a person who had suffered a great loss to Dou Youqiao, and it is not easy to deal with. Cen Peng used his troops several times, but only forced him to give up the Xinye who could not defend himself.

But when Deng Feng gained a foothold in Deng County in the south, the Wei army did not do anything to him with the famous "Denglin danger".

The opportunity to surrender the troops without fighting disappeared, so Cen Peng could only consider how to attack the troops and win.

"What about Jia Fu?" Cen Peng mentioned another person, who was also from Nanyang, but by chance he became a "Shu General".

"The officials in the lower ranks say that Wei is strong and Shu is weak, Gongsun Shu is stupid, and good generals will be buried. Jia Fu has not killed the envoy." Yin Shi took out a copy of Shu Jin with his words written on it: "I only wrote back a letter recently."

When Cen Peng took it, he saw that the handwriting was written in a domineering manner. He knew that he was a proud person at first glance - but this person is really capable.

It didn't take long to believe it, Jia Fu was there and only said one thing.

"In today's world, it is not surprising that many people are appointed to serve as ministers. Jia Fu is not ashamed to serve in Green Forest before serving Gongsun."

"However, Gongsun, who meets me, should repay you with everyone. He is just responsible for defending the territory. If you cannot do anything, you can surrender or leave."

"However, Liu Bosheng met me in the past and promoted me to the ranks of bandits. Therefore, I repaid him with my confidant. Killing Liu Bosheng is the fifth relationship. Jia Fu can be surrendered, but Wei cannot. Otherwise, he will die and go to the underworld and have no face to see Bosheng!"

If others saw it, they would probably laugh at Jia Fu for no reason. For the sake of his slightest attempt, Liu Bosheng promoted and appointed him casually. He actually remembered that Liu Bosheng and the grave grass were three feet tall!

But when Cen Peng saw this letter, he was filled with mixed feelings for a moment. He didn't know whether it was shame, sighing, or feeling sorry.

If you want to talk about it, Liu Bosheng also has the grace of saving his life. If he is treated in another position, what should Cen Peng do?

But that little guilt soon disappeared because Cen Peng dared to pat his chest and said that he had no place to regret Liu Bosheng back then! When he was captured in Lulin, Liu Bosheng would ask, even if it was not good for the fifth relationship, Cen Peng would answer everything.

"If you want to talk about kindness, I, Yu Bosheng, don't owe any of them."

"I'm sorry for your Majesty more."

Cen Peng strengthened his mind, showed no complicated emotions, and just smiled and said, "What an arrogant person."

"A gentleman dies for his confidant, and a woman is to please him. It is easy to say, but hard to do."

His voice became low, as if he was talking to himself: "The most difficult thing in this world is that the hero wants to die but cannot. The lady serves her husband in a dress of beauty, but she is treated coldly and suspected..."

After a series of ups and downs in life and death, the change in temperament is not only Yin Shi. When Cen Peng first studied military strategy with Yan Boshi, he liked "righteous" things. If he had changed his past, he would definitely have worked hard to fight Deng Feng, Jia Fubing against soldiers and generals.

But now, Cen Peng has become more strange and clever in his use of troops.

No, it should be like the sentence "Soldiers are the devil" written by the Fifth Emperor...

"Grand strategies should use open plans and take advantage of the general trend."

"But small tactics must not be ashamed to use conspiracy!"

Jia Fu is on the eastern border of the middle and middle of Han, adjacent to Nanyang, not far from Jingxiang. Liu Xiu's brother is kind to him, and Deng Feng and other powerful men in Nanyang also have friendship with him... At the critical time when Cen Peng was ordered to fight for Xiangyang by Emperor Cen Peng, he had to be distracted and beware of the powerful general on the side of the bed. If he ignored it, Jia Fu would probably become the biggest variable.

However, Wei and Cheng's family reached a collaborative agreement on the spot, and it has not yet broken up. Cen Peng is not good at attacking Jia Fu directly, so he can only use some other means.

The reply letter written by Jia Fu, a straightforward man, became the best counterattack weapon in Cen Peng's hands. He returned it to Yin Shi and said something that made him feel cold.

"Take this letter to the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Nanyang."

Each military region arranged the embroidered yarn guards. They mainly had two tasks. One was to "supervise" the generals and repay the emperor with local affairs. The other was to engage in espionage activities, such as transporting fake iron coins from Nanyang to Sichuan, and accelerating the family to start a family and the small court was distrustful, and the people from the embroidered yarn guards were carrying out.

Cen Peng said: "After half a year, people in Shu should almost find out that the iron money comes from, and it is the Mianshui trade place under Jia Fu's jurisdiction."

Jia Fu was a good general, but when it comes to governance and business, he was an amateur. The spies from Wei State were able to sneak into Bashu in a stern way under his nose, but Jia Fu was unaware of it.

But is the one from Baidi City who believes that Jia Fu's "captivated" surrender is innocent?

Cen Peng reminded: "The Emperor Gongsun must know that Jia Fu deliberately lets fake money enter the country even though he knew about this. He also communicated with Wei Chen and was willing to betrayal!"

Yin Shi was shocked and almost didn't know Cen Peng for a while. Is this the upright soldier who surrendered to Liu Bosheng?

But in Cen Peng's eyes now, as a general, victory is the top priority!

As the general of Zhennan appointed by the Fifth Reinchen, Cen Peng took the first step in the Jingxiang battle.

"Jia Fu said that Gongsun should repay him with everyone."
Chapter completed!
