But Wei Yan was so impatient. How did Yang Qing know that he was holding a big breath in his heart these days?

Since his performance during the Northern Expedition was not as good as that of Yang Qing, Yang Qing took the lead in the Northern Expedition. How could Wei Yan, who had always been regarded as the number one general in the army, be convinced?

In his opinion, the reason why Yang Qing took the lead was Zhuge Liang's favoritism. Zhuge Liang only allowed Yang Qing to divide his troops and did not allow him to lead another army. This resulted in him not having a chance to prove himself, and thus doing what Yang Qing did in Jieting.

Make great achievements.

Wei Yan is also dissatisfied with the imperial court's reward this time. His current official position is General Right, Prime Minister Sima leads the governor of Liangzhou, while Yang Qing is a former general, and the prime minister joins the army and leads the governor of Yongzhou. The official positions are almost the same, but he

He was extremely dissatisfied that Yang Qing was ranked ahead of him in the military rankings.

In Wei Yan's view, even if the imperial court gave the former general to Zhao Yun, it should not award the former general to Yang Qing, a junior. Previously, he did not hide it because Yang Qing was ranked ahead of him in the Anhan general class, but he has suffered for a long time.

There is no war, so we have to endure for the time being.

He originally wanted to make great achievements in the Northern Expedition this time and establish his status as the number one general in the army. However, he did not expect that his achievements were still not as good as Yang Qing's. As a result, his wish was frustrated and he was still ranked behind Yang Qing.

Of course, Wei Yan still respects Zhao Yun, a senior in the army, and can accept his ranking behind him. As for Li Yan, the person with the highest military position, Wei Yan has never taken him seriously.

In his opinion, although he was dissatisfied with Yang Qing, Yang Qing's military exploits were real after all. It was just because his younger generation surpassed him that he lost face, so he still recognized Yang Qing's ability on the battlefield.

But it was different for Li Yan. He always ignored Li Yan's first military position. In his opinion, the court only awarded Li Yan the first military position because he was a minister of Tuogu.

He always thought that Li Yan was just lucky. He happened to be in Yong'an when the late emperor passed away, and that's why he got the reputation of being a minister who asked for help. If he hadn't been guarding Hanzhong, and based on his relationship with the late emperor, how would he have gotten Li Yan's turn?

Yan and Prime Minister Zhuge jointly received the imperial edict.

If not, maybe Li Yan's current status belongs to him, Wei Yan. Of course, he has always kept this idea in his heart and has never spoken it to anyone. Now he has to surpass Yang Qing first, and then he can compete with Li Yan.

"This time I can finally stop leading an army to capture Liangzhou. I must fight this battle beautifully and let the world see what I am capable of. Young man Yang Qing, I will let you be proud for two days. A certain army will

Sooner or later, my position will surpass yours." Wei Yan glanced at Yang Qing and thought to himself.

In the next half month, Longyou entered the harvest season. Through the joint efforts of the government and the people, there were almost no mistakes in the summer harvest. Hundreds of thousands of stones of wheat were collected into the official warehouse, which greatly eased the pressure of the Yongzhou government and the garrison.

Food stress.

Wei Yan was also very happy. He made a rare return banquet and invited Yang Qing and others to have a drink, which made it really lively.

Over the past few days, not only had there been a good harvest in farming, but also in terms of talents, Yang Qing had also recruited a large number of scholars with both ability and political integrity to enter the state capital through personal examinations, among which three of them were the most valued by him.

The first is Jiang Yin, a native of Ji County, Tianshui. He is nearly sixty this year. He is the elder of Jiang Wei's clan. He once taught Jiang Wei Zheng's studies. He is very accomplished in Confucian classics and can be regarded as one of the few in Longyou.

Great Confucian.

Moreover, this Duke also knew Tao strategy well. In the 18th year of Jian'an, he followed his clan brother Jiang Xu and fellow countryman Yang Fu and others to launch an army to conquer Ma Chao, and successfully drove Ma Chao out of Longyou. He was said to be both civil and military.

Later, Cao Cao granted him an official position, but after two years of service, he resigned and went into seclusion to immerse himself in learning.

For such celebrities, Yang Qing could not recruit them through examinations. He personally went to Jicheng to invite Jiang Yin to serve in the governor's office. However, Jiang Yin initially rejected him because he had no intention of pursuing an official career.

But how could Yang Qing believe what he said? He just didn't want to tie the entire Jiang family to Ji Han's unsound boat.

In Jiang Yin's view, the fact that there are young men like Jiang Wei in the clan who are outstanding officials, Ji Han, has fully demonstrated the sincerity of the Jiang clan.

According to past experience, it is enough to achieve this step by oneself. No one in charge will force the local surnames to completely stand in line. This is also the tacit understanding between the government and the surnames over the years, which is rarely broken by anyone.

But it just so happened that Yang Qing happened to be the kind of person who liked to do things unconventionally. Jiang Yin, the current leader of the Jiang clan, wanted to leave some room for him, but Yang Qing did not allow him to do so.

First, he told Jiang Wei about his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, then he talked about Jiang Wei's future, and finally he used strong methods to threaten him. Although Jiang Yin was reluctant, for the sake of the family, he finally agreed to serve in the state capital. Yang Qing immediately recruited him as ruler.

He worked in the government and became the third-in-command of the governor's office.

The reason why Yang Qing is so tough is because Jiang Yin is indeed a special person. He is not only a well-known scholar in Longyou, but also has inextricable relationships with those Longyou scholars who are currently serving in Cao Wei, such as the current Shaofu of Cao Wei.

Yang Fu, Yizhou Governor Zhao Ang, and Dunhuang Governor Yin Feng were his friends for many years.

Therefore, the reason why Yang Qing recruited this person to be Zhizhong was, firstly, to win over the local surnames, secondly, to use his status as a famous scholar to decorate his appearance, and thirdly, through this person, he hoped to express an attitude to the officials with Longyou origin in Wei, as long as he could

If he returns from his lost ways and returns to the Han Dynasty, Ji Han will be able to ignore the past grievances and continue to use him as usual.

Of course, the effectiveness of the third function must be used in conjunction with the powerful offensive of the Han army. The current effect is very small, but small is better than nothing. As more lost ground is recovered in the future, I believe this type of effect will be

will become bigger and bigger.

The second one was named Li Mingye, and he was from the Li family in Longxi. He was a man of both moral and moral integrity and capable of doing things. Yang Qing had recruited him as a meritorious official.

The Li family in Longxi has a profound heritage. Although it was already prosperous in the pre-Qin period, after Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu, the family gradually declined, and no famous person has appeared in the past hundreds of years.

Therefore, although the Li family is deeply rooted in Longyou, it is no longer the largest family in Longyou. Therefore, in order to restore the family's former glory, Li Ye readily accepted Yang Qing's conquest.

The third person, named Yao Jing, was the first in this examination. He was appointed by Yang Qingzheng to work in Tianshui and was responsible for supervising the affairs of Tianshui County.

Although he came from a poor family, he was very talented and learned. The fact that he was able to win the first place in an exam in which many gentry children participated was enough to show that he was extraordinary. Therefore, Yang Qing specially handed over Tianshui County, the most important of the four counties in Longyou.

Give him supervision and prepare to train him vigorously.

Therefore, most of the official positions in the governor's office have been filled, and it can be said that there are many talents. Therefore, Yang Qing can relax a lot. The ordinary official affairs are handled by themselves, and his main energy is on rectifying the officialdom.

Drilling soldiers and preparing for major events such as the capture of Liangzhou.
