The generals who attacked Nanzheng this time were somewhat unexpected, the main general would be Zhang Yan, the leader of the late Taishan Army, and the deputy general was Guan Hai, the leader of the late Qingzhou Army.

Both of them had an inextricable relationship with the Yellow Turban Army, which led them to lead a large number of men and horses to defect to Bingzhou, which greatly enriched the population of Bingzhou.

It can be said that if there was no Zhang Yan and Guan Hai's investment, it would never have been possible for Bingzhou to develop so fast, and it would have been impossible to go on an expedition to Xianbei because of the lack of food.

It was precisely because of that battle that the northern border of Bingzhou was completely stabilized, and there was no need to worry about the Xianbei invasion for so many years.

That battle also made Cheng Yu and Zhao Yun famous, and Wen Zhao was named the champion Hou.

However, now Guanzhong is full of talents, famous generals are like clouds, although Zhang Yan and Guan Hai have good skills, they have gradually become second-tier generals. Even some generals who later surrendered to Wenzhao were not below Zhang Yan and Guan Hai in Guanzhong.

Although Zhang Yan and Guan Hai have always been loyal to Wen Zhao, Wen Zhao feels a little guilty about these two people. Therefore, this time to seize the credit of Nanzheng, Wen Zhao gave it to Zhang Yan and Guan Hai despite public opinion.

Now that the Yangping Pass has been broken, the door of Hanzhong is wide open, and Nanzheng and Yang Song and Yang Bai are used as internal responses, and the entire Hanzhong has become Wenzhao's bag.

Moreover, Hanzhong is now embattled, and the soldiers and horses in Nan Zhengzhong have almost been requisitioned. Zhang Yan and Guan Hai were fully capable of leading 5,000 cavalry to conquer Nanzheng.

After Zhang Yan and others led the troops away, Wen Zhao ordered the rectification of military and government affairs in Yangping Pass, as well as the settlement of prisoners in the city.

After working for a long time and just resting, Li Ru suddenly came over to ask to see him, Wen Zhao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked Li Ru to be invited to the house.

"Why did Wenyou come this time?"

Li Ru said with a worried face: "Although Hanzhong is now in the pocket of the lord, the Yang family's status here is deep-rooted, and their brothers are not loyal. ”

"Today, the Yang brothers did not hesitate to kill Zhang Wei, and Yang Song was able to betray Zhang Lu for money, such a two-faced person may become a constraint to the lord in the future."

Wen Zhao's face turned grim and asked, "According to Wen You's words, how should I deal with this matter?" ”

What Li Ru said is good, the Yang brothers can betray Zhang Lu, who treats them well, for the sake of money and status. It is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not betray Chen Xu for other reasons.

If they are allowed to take power in Hanzhong, it will be a great scourge sooner or later.

Moreover, the local family power is too strong, which is not in the interests of Chen Xu, so no matter what aspect you look at, you can't be cautious about the Yang family's arrangement.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Li Ru said softly: "Such characters have neither integrity, loyalty, nor extraordinary talent, so it is better to kill them to prevent future troubles." ”

The corners of Wen Zhao's eyes twitched slightly, and then he said with a straight face: "The Yang brothers surrendered to me and helped me seize the land of Hanzhong, if they are killed for no reason, who will dare to surrender to me in the future?" ”

"I already have a plan in my heart about this matter, Wen Youxiu wants to mention it again!"

Li Ru was in a hurry, and was about to persuade again, but he saw Wen Zhao waving his hand and said, "Wen You, go down, I'm already very tired today and want to rest." ”

After speaking, Wen Zhao left the room directly and entered the bedroom.

Although Li Ru was anxious, he had no choice but to leave.

Wen Zhao, who returned to the bedroom, knew that Li Ru had left, so he suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "There are some things that can only be done, but not said." ”

As a monarch, there are too many things to think about, and sometimes you can't do things to your liking at all. I have to say that this is also a kind of helplessness.

Walking back and forth in the house for a while, Wen Zhao muttered to himself: "Yan Pu is a famous man in Hanzhong, loyal and resourceful, but he is a rare talent." ”

Thinking of this, Wen Zhao immediately took a team of personal soldiers to visit Yan Pu.

Although Yan Pu was now a captive, he was not mistreated, but lived alone in a spacious house with guards outside.

"I've seen the lord!"

The guards guarding the door saw Wen Zhao coming over and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Wen Zhao waved his hand, signaling them to excuse himself, and then strode towards the house.

"Sir looks laid-back."

Yan Pu knelt next to the desk, taking out a piece of snow-white paper to practice calligraphy, even if Chen Xu came for a long time, he refused to look up.

After hearing Wen Zhao's words, his writing hand paused for a moment, and said: "A minister of man can't guard the city for the monarch, and now I'm just a prisoner, what else can I do besides writing?" ”

Wen Zhao Zhengse said: "If it weren't for the Yang brothers to dedicate the city, with the talent of Mr., how could I easily capture Yangping Pass?" ”

Yan Pu laughed twice and said, "Even if there is no Yang brother, with the Great General's super cloud ladder, it will only be a matter of time before he breaks through Yangping Pass. ”

Speaking of this, he began to write hard again, directly filling the entire paper. Wen Zhao could feel a strong killing aura from Yan Pu's words.

After finishing writing, Yan Pu threw away the brush in his hand and laughed loudly: "The Yang brothers betrayed the lord today, and he will definitely end up with a tragic ending full of punishments in the future." ”

Wen Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly, stared at Yan Pu and asked, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Yan Pu raised his head, looked at Wen Zhao with a slight mockery, and said, "Although the general is eager to seek talent, he has issued a meritocracy recruitment order. However, people like the Yang brothers who sell their masters to seek glory, I'm afraid that the general will also be disgusted in his heart, right? ”

"What's more, if the general doesn't sweep away the Yang clan, how can he completely control the entire land of Hanzhong?"

Wen Zhao still said with an unchanged face: "The Yang brothers have made great contributions to the city, I have always rewarded and punished them clearly, and I will definitely promote and reuse them, so how can I talk about disgust?" ”

"If all the people of the world can be like them, willing to act as an internal response when I attack the city, wouldn't it be just around the corner to pacify the whole world?"

"Hahahaha!"

Yan Pu laughed a few times, but just looked at Wen Zhao with interest, but he didn't answer.

Wen Zhao was a little unnatural by him, and immediately said: "Mr. is a great talent, and he is a local, I don't know if you are willing to help me govern Hanzhong?" ”

Yan Pu said with a smile: "The general has the Yang brothers enough, how can he use me?" What's more, loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, although I am the general of the defeated army, I will not turn to others, the general should go back. ”

After looking at Yan Pu for a while, Wen Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "You will help me govern Hanzhong sooner or later!" ”

After speaking, Wen Zhao laughed three times and left Yan Pu's residence.
