Chapter 104: This little brother is worth it
“Brother, what Li Wenxuan said cannot be trusted. Brother, don’t do anything impulsive or regretful.”
Wang Xun came over, looking a little anxious, and said in a low voice.
Feng Yong looked around guiltily. The person closest to them was more than ten feet away, and then he felt relieved.
“Brother, don’t be afraid, there is no one around here, I have already checked around.”
“Have you heard everything about Zishi?”
Wang Xun nodded and admitted without hesitation: "My younger brother came back from hunting game just now and saw a pheasant here. Thinking that the pheasant is delicious, it would be a good nourishment for his brother. As soon as he shot it down, he saw Li Wenxuan looked strange and behaved suspiciously when he entered the forest. I was curious about what he was doing, but I didn't expect to see my brother following him. I was afraid that he would be harmful to my brother, so I quietly observed from the sidelines."
"Are you afraid that he will be unfavorable to me? Are you suspicious of Li Wenxuan?"
“That’s right.”
“Why is this?”
"I think back then, Governor Li of Nanzhong wanted to surrender to the late emperor, but he came from the old general Zhao's family, so the Zhao and Li families were considered close anyway. Logically speaking, Li Wenxuan should be closer to that Erlang, then It’s a normal behavior. But according to what I’ve seen, it’s not the case. Don’t you think it’s strange, brother?”
“Do the Zhao and Li families still have such a relationship?”
Feng Yong was shocked, thinking that I really didn’t know about this.
Wang Xun nodded and said: "To be honest, I am not afraid of my brother making fun of me. As a new member of the family, I had to be cautious. In order not to offend others unintentionally, I also carefully inquired about the nobles in the court. They are linked to each other. Old General Zhao is naturally focused on it. My younger brother happens to have some understanding of this matter."
Feng Yong sighed in his heart. It was really not luck or chance that Wang Ping would become the pillar of Shu Han in the future. Seeing the big from the small, relying on this caution, no matter how unlucky it is, at least it is enough to keep yourself safe. If you have the ability and a little bit of luck, getting ahead will be unstoppable.
“Then what does this have to do with you not believing in Li Wenxuan?”
"Zhao and Li are very close, but have you ever seen Li Wenxuan and Brother Zhao calling each other brothers? They usually refer to each other as the elder brother and the second brother. The second brother is open-minded by nature, and he can even deal with the status of the younger brother. I'm not a stingy person, I'm afraid the problem lies with Li Wenxuan. From what I've seen these days, Li Wenxuan is aloof and arrogant by nature, and he relies on his intelligence, so I'm afraid he may not be willing to be associated with my second brother."
Feng Yong was startled when Wang Xun mentioned this, and his eyes turned surprised when he looked at Wang Xun. He did not expect that this usually taciturn young man would have such thoughtful thoughts.
Receiving Feng Yong's encouraging gaze, Wang Xun's confidence greatly increased and he continued: "Then Li Wenxuan is so arrogant, how can he be so easy to be humble and call him brother after meeting him a few times?"
After receiving Wang Xun’s reminder, Feng Yong was silent and thought to himself, that’s right! When did Li Yi start calling me brother?
“Zi Shi means, does Li Wenxuan have other intentions?”
"I don't dare to talk nonsense, but I really think so in my heart. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I have to help my brother keep an eye on it, and it is better for my brother to be more careful himself. Let's talk about what happened just now," Wang Xun paused. , seemed to be arranging words, and after a while he said, "The Guan and Li families want to get married, and the prime minister wants to see it. This is someone else's business and has nothing to do with my brother. Why should my brother commit suicide for a woman?" Ni? With my brother’s talent, there are so many women in the world, is it possible that he still can’t find a good match?”
The title of agricultural official in Hanzhong sounds good: he can supervise all farming matters in Hanzhong. However, Hanzhong is mostly a deserted land, so in the eyes of many people, this is just a false position. Today, he is just a marginalized person who is regarded by others as a marginal person who has made meritorious service, but is given a seemingly real job by the prime minister, but is actually a false official position.
But not to mention that after this year, Hanzhong will be fully reclaimed by the powerful and the imperial court. In terms of Hanzhong's strategic position as a base for the Northern Expedition in the future, Feng Yong, the official position of Hanzhong's peasant official, will sooner or later be replaced by others in a few years. I found out that it was actually a hidden heavyweight official position.
So Feng Yong, who is in his position, will become a figure who is highly valued by the prime minister and has been secretly cultivated early and secretly in the eyes of those who are interested.
But after all, it takes time for this kind of thing to become known. When Zhao Erlang, who kept his mouth shut, knew about the matter, he knew that it was arranged by the prime minister. Without knowing the truth, it was already rare for him to even say a word of grievance. valuable.
I never thought that the Wang family was even more simply. Wang Ping only listened to his son's passage, and directly took a leave, and ran to the mountain to help him find someone. In addition to staying by his side silently in the past, Wang Xun was also able to think of him in every aspect and give him advice without hesitation. If it were an ordinary person, it would be too late to avoid something like this. How could he take the initiative like Wang Xun?
“Don’t worry Zishi, I will consider this matter carefully.”
After Feng Yong said this, he felt that he was not qualified, so he added another sentence: "In the future, I will definitely live up to the Wang family!"
The Shu Han Dynasty flourished in Jiameng and died in Jianmen.
After passing Jianshan - the future Jianmen Pass, we arrived at Jiameng Pass, which is also a pass with legendary stories.
Jiameng Pass, oh, no, it should be called Hanshou now. It is a brick arched gate with stone walls built into it. There are overlapping mountains on both sides of the pass, dangerous rocks and cliffs, and bleak trees. There is only a stone path leading to the pass, which is winding and winding. The pass looks extremely steep and majestic.
It was here that the late Zhonglang General Huo Jun led hundreds of his troops to resist Zhang Lu at first and resist Liu Zhang later. He defended for a year under the attack of 10,000 enemies, and in the end he was able to defeat the enemy. The master chopped off his head.
Feng Yong stood under the city gate and vividly imagined the scene when Huo Jun stepped on the enemy general's head and said contemptuously: "I am your father!"
In the end, he sighed and said: "I wish I could see General Huo's demeanor back then."
“Since my brother has such emotion, why not write a poem to express his feelings?”
Zhao Guang came forward very wisely and mentioned something.
Feng Yong glanced at him and found that not only did the swelling on his face not go away, but there were a few more bruises on his face, so he had no choice but to chant: "I went to the Lijing Well, looked up and breathed, and I sat down with my hands on my shoulders and sighed. What do you think?" "
Zhao Guang twitched his mouth and forced a smile and said: "Brother, the road to Shu is difficult. This article is naturally very relevant to the road of Shu. But haven't you read these two sentences before, brother?"
Feng Yong nodded and said: "Yes. I was thinking that when Fu Jin, Xiang Cun and others led their troops to attack such passes guarded by General Huo, I'm afraid they had no other choice but to sigh, so I think these two sentences are very appropriate.”
"Brother, we will have a good rest in this pass tonight. After passing this pass, it will be the most difficult plank road. After tonight, there will be no such good things in the next few days." Li Yi also held the hand. Said immediately.
Feng Yong nodded: "Okay. Let everyone know that we will have a good rest here tonight."
At this time, Jiameng Pass was already within the territory of the Han Dynasty, and there would no longer be a large army stationed there. It was only guarded by a hundred soldiers, and the largest official was just a low-level captain. With the status of Feng Yong and several people in this group, they were naturally placed in the best place.
