Yang Zheng rushed to Didao and met with Xiahou Ba.

Yuhan was miserable, but Xiahou Ba was even worse. Several of his concubines disappeared.

More than half of the hard-earned foundation was wiped out, and Guo Huai even sent a letter to Chang'an, Luoyang, Qiang and Hu to connect the Shu people, which brought heavy disaster to Longxi.

He blamed the decline of Longxi on the Shu people.

When Jiang Weinan retreated, he indeed moved many people away.

But more of them were directly moved to Tianshui by Guo Huai.

Xiahou Ba was sulky for a few days, and that was about it.

After all, his family is in Luoyang, and he has concubines and the like. As the governor of Qinzhou, will he still lack this in the future?

After reading the Luoyang edict, Xiahou Ba said: "Zhang has passed away, Zhang Xi should be Ding You, and there is another person who is the prefect of Jincheng."

Yang Zheng was stunned. He only missed Xia Houxuan's daughter in Chang'an, but he forgot about the importance of filial piety in Han and Wei Dynasties. When the elder passed away, his heir Ding You resigned and stayed filial piety for three years.

However, special circumstances can overwhelm love.

This also depends on Zhang Xi’s intention.

Jincheng is located behind Xiping and Longyou, and connects the two places. Its geographical location is very important.

If someone who shouldn't be released is placed in this place, Xiahou Ba and Yang Zheng's life will be difficult.

Yang Zheng vaguely felt that there was something inside.

Sima would not miss such an obvious flaw.

But why would Xia Houxuan ignore it?

After staying in Didao for a few days, news came from Jincheng that Zhang Hui used Ding You as an excuse to return to Dunhuang to observe mourning for three years, and the prefect of Jincheng was once again free.

But within a few days, news came from Chang'an that the imperial court wanted to appoint Wang Jinhu, the third son of Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, as the prefect of Jincheng.

The Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family are from the same lineage.

The Sima family and Cao Shuang fought for power, firstly for the power of the court, and secondly for the recognition of the gentry.

Wang Ling's qualifications far surpassed that of Wang Chang. He had great military exploits and was supported by both civil and military personnel. In the Battle of Shiting in the second year of Taihe, Cao Xiu made a false plan to surrender in the middle of Zhou Dynasty. One hundred thousand cavalry were trapped in Shiting and were defeated by Lu Xun, Zhu Huan, and Quan Cong.

During the siege and losing ground, Wang Ling fought tooth and nail to break out of the siege and fought at the front, allowing Cao Xiu to escape.

In the second year of Zhengshi, during the Battle of Shaopi, Wang Ling led his troops to fight against Quan Cong, the commander-in-chief of the Wu Kingdom. After fighting for several days, he defeated the Wu army and killed more than ten generals of Soochow including Qin Huang.

For more than twenty years, his reputation in Cao Wei was only lower than that of Sima Yi.

Dudu Yangzhou was the most important military town in Cao Wei.

He was also the only force in the army that could compete with Sima Yi.

However, Guo Huai is also Wang Ling's brother-in-law.

Taking Wang Jinhu as the prefect of Jincheng not only wooed Wang Ling, but also meant to balance Guo Huai.

The essence of politics is compromise and balance.

Wang Jinhu was appointed as the governor of Jincheng, and Sima Yi, Cao Shuang, Wang Ling and Guo Huai were all acceptable.

But Xiahou Ba felt a little uncomfortable.

Because I don’t know the details of Wang Jinhu.

And Jincheng has never been under his control.

Now that Longxi is so exhausted, Xiahou Ba's strength has been greatly weakened.

Yang Zheng further said: "Since the general is the governor of Qinzhou, why don't you transfer the rule to me?"

Jincheng County was governed in Yunwu County during the Han Dynasty.

Cao Wei moved to Yuzhong County.

Yunwu, Panghan, and Didao form a triangle, the center of which happens to be Heguan.

This geographical plate was called "Heshou" during the Han Dynasty.

As long as we control this Yellow River Pass, I will be allowed to do so, and the Didao will be connected as one.

It not only strengthened Xiahou Ba's strength, used Jincheng to restore Longxi's strength, but also suppressed Wang Jinhu's Yuzhong.

Xia Houba's eyes lit up. He had been in Longxi for nearly twenty years and naturally knew the mountains and terrain. He repeatedly praised: "Not bad, not bad. There are many clever plans to help Xingyun!"

"This is an expedient measure. Now the general is wooing the Wang family. If Wang Jinhu is not from Guo Huai, the general can win over him. Didao is close to the Tao River and the land is fertile. In less than three years, it can be restored to its original state."

I don’t know if Sima Yi will give Xiahou Ba these three years.

Xiahou Ba shook his head and said: "Wang Jinhu is not from Guo Huai, nor is he from the general. The Wang family has a strong foundation and will not be attached to anyone."

Yang Zheng was speechless, secretly thinking that Cao Wei really had complicated factions.

However, moving Zhi Yunwu is a good move for the current Xiahou Ba.

When the dust settled in Qinzhou, Yang Zheng was promoted to the rank of Colonel Protecting the Qiang, and of course his generals had to follow suit.

Zhang Teti was appointed as the Sima of the Prefecture to protect the Qiang. Zhou Yu and Jiang Fanyedi were appointed to protect the Qiang. Seventy-six people including Duan Da, Yin Chun, Zhou Fang, Yuan Xiao, Gongsun Fu, and Zhao A were promoted to the rank of captain. Gong Feizhi,

Generals such as Luo Huzi, Eshan Shi, Pu Jin, and Du He were promoted to commanders, and even Liu Heng was promoted to governor.

Xiahou Ba also serves as the guard of the army, and he can be appointed or removed by himself at the rank of captain or below.

Xiahouba didn't even look at the list and just printed it.

"What will happen to Jincheng in the future is yet to be known. You and I, one is in Longxi and the other is in Yunwu, are each other's horns."

"The last general will live up to the commander-in-chief and the general's trust!"

From this moment on, Yang Zheng is qualified to call himself the last general.

"You can run Xiping with peace of mind. I will take care of your marriage."

"Thank you, General."

Looking at Xiahou Ba's expression, Yang Zheng suddenly thought of a question.

Xia Houxuan is Xia Houba's nephew. Isn't Xia Houxuan's daughter Xia Houba's grandniece?

I don’t want to call Uncle Xiahou Ba’s grandfather...

The generational decline is really too fast.

But the gratitude I feel for him in my heart is genuine.

Thinking about the precarious days in the past, without Xiahou Ba, Yang Zheng would probably still be struggling in the mud.

The so-called noble people are nothing more than this.

After staying in Didao for such a long time, it was time to go to Xiping to take up the post.

Yang Zheng looked at the northwest land with high spirits.

In these troubled times, we finally have some foundation.

No matter how the situation changes in the future, I have the power to control my own destiny.

After all, Huan Han was too young, and under the eyes of Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba, some things should not be done too blatantly.

Xiping is different, it is a real borderland.

You can let go of your hands and feet.

After bidding farewell to Xiahou Ba, Yang Zheng and Du Yu set out on the road again, feeling extremely excited.

When they rushed to Didao, they met people sent by Gongsun Fu, "General, Jishi Mountain... there is internal strife!"

"What?" Yang Zheng felt like he was struck by lightning.

"How could there be internal strife in Jishi Mountain? Please tell me carefully." He climbed up step by step and was proud of the spring breeze, but suddenly turned down sharply.

Yang Zheng's belongings are all in Jishi Mountain.

Otherwise, if the polished commander goes to Xiping and takes office, will he be able to gain real power in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

If there is no knife in hand and the local power is strong, will the Qiang and Hu tribes take advantage of themselves?

Under the pressure of Zhong Qiang, if Xiping wants to be stable, Jishishan cannot be lost.

"Duan Da reported that Jiang Fane had an affair with Zhong Qiang, and Jiang Fane reported that Duan Da had enriched his own pockets and was greedy for gold! The two of them each occupied the top of the mountain and met each other with swords. Zhang Te, Yin Chun, and Zhou Fang refused to listen to their advice and led Hu

Human slaves fled to Beishan."

Yang Zheng's face suddenly darkened.

I thought that Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba's hands were covered with chicken feathers, but it turned out that the same was true on my own hands.

Since the Qiang chaos began, the war lasted for almost half a year. Yang Zheng traveled back and forth from Longxi to Xiping, and from Xiping to Xihai, and had no time to go to Jishi Mountain.

Distance not only creates beauty, but also creates barriers.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a monolithic force.

Duan Da and Jiang Fane, one is his old subordinate and the other is his father-in-law.
