Chapter 124 Desolation
“Then I wonder what the rules of shepherding are?”
Ma Dai stared at Feng Yong closely and asked.
“The chicken is delicious.”
Feng Yong chuckled.
Ma Dai understood and nodded: "This makes me feel relieved."
"It's just that there are fewer Qiang and Hu people. If we want to graze more, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower."
"Not enough Hu people? This is okay. The Ma family can still barely talk to the Qiang Hu people in Xiliang." Ma Dai smiled and said, "When Feng Langjun finalizes the charter, send someone over to tell me . This Qiang is a barbarian, I will find a way to get it for you."
Look, are you humble?
With the Qianghu people in Xiliang, more than just talking to them? When Liu Bei and Cao Cao fought for Hanzhong, Ma Chao said something. How many Qiang and Di people responded and then went to blow up Boss Cao's anus?
Although Ma Chao is gone now, the reputation of the Ma family should still have a certain weight among the Qiang and Hu.
With Ma Dai's promise, Feng Yong finally let go of his worries.
“If General Ma has a word, I’ll be relieved.”
The two of them smiled at each other tacitly.
“Okay, I’ll make you uncomfortable by staying among you young people, so I won’t bother you.”
Ma Dai got the news he wanted, patted Feng Yong on the shoulder again, turned around and left without any hesitation.
As soon as Ma Dai left, everyone's attention suddenly focused on Feng Yong.
Feng Yong laughed and said to Li Yi, "Why is Brother Wenxuan together with General Ma?"
Li Yi saw everyone's eyes suddenly turning to him, and thought, does this guy have a problem with me? Otherwise, why would you pull me out to block the arrow?
“On the way back from Nanzheng, I happened to meet General Ma, so we came back together.”
“Brother, is it possible that this herding thing is the same as the skill of blessing the rooster..."
Zhao Guang finally couldn't help but speak.
Feng Yong made a "tsk" sound, looked at Zhao Guang, and said, "Erlang, don't forget, why did I come to Hanzhong?"
"for what?"
Zhao Guang was at a loss.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Hanzhong has existed as a logistics base.
Qin occupied Hanzhong, then entered Bashu, and then gained rich granaries. Only then did he have the capital to compete with the six heroes of the Warring States Period for hegemony.
The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty entered Hanzhong and occupied Bashu, and then based on this, he had the basis to compete with the overlord of Western Chu for the world.
So why it is said that Liu Bei is the real mastermind? It is because he has a different vision and is extremely original.
When neither Liu Bei nor Cao Cao realized the strategic position of Hanzhong, he was the first to propose the strategy of swallowing Hanzhong and protecting Xichuan, and then using it as a front to encroach on the two states of Yongliang.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao competed for Hanzhong. One won the people and the other the land.
And Nanzheng is one of the few places in Hanzhong that is slightly inhabited today. It is also the administrative seat of Hanzhong and the place where Wei Yan garrisoned troops in Hanzhong.
Probably because of the purpose of establishing Hanzhong, Feng Yong and others came all the way from Yang'an Pass and saw several groups of people, or a few people, or more than ten people, all going in the same direction as themselves, heading east to Nanzheng.
Now entering Hanzhong from Shuzhong, Nanzheng is probably the first supply point and the best place to stay.
The battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao for Hanzhong has not passed many years. The damage caused by war can be seen everywhere along the way.
Villages and towns are all in ruins, covered with grass. What was once the home of mankind has become a paradise for various birds and beasts. Occasionally, one or two wild dogs appeared, hiding quietly in the grass, watching the people walking by the road warily.
The closer you get to Nanzheng, you can finally see one or two fields that are obviously cultivated. Sometimes there would be a half-dressed farmer bending over, not knowing what he was doing in the field.
Seeing Feng Yong's long team, the farmers would shrink behind the pile of orange poles, wait for Feng Yong and others to pass by, and then come out and continue their original actions.
Even once, Feng Yong and others saw a farmer squatting in the ground digging something. He was probably so focused that he didn't even know someone was around.
By the time she noticed someone passing by, Feng Yong had already walked up to her on a small Yunnan horse.
The peasant woman in the field widened her eyes in fear. It was too late to run away, so she had to huddle up as much as possible, with her head almost buried in the ground.
Feng Yong coughed awkwardly, turned his head, deliberately not looking at her, and glanced at Guan Ji, who was a little behind him, with a guilty conscience.
“Eh? That peasant woman was dressed strangely just now?”
Zhao Guang drove his horse and walked to Feng Yong and said.
"Is there anything strange?" Feng Yong said nonchalantly, "Farmers' life is not easy."
Zhao Guang also looked back curiously: "It's really not easy. Did your brother see it just now? The woman just now seemed to have her buttocks naked..."
What the hell!
Feng Yong wanted to give this guy a whip!
Seeing through but not telling the truth means that you have an awesome father, otherwise with your upright temperament, you will be beaten to death sooner or later.
Guan Ji's cold eyes drifted over.
Feng Yong’s mouth twitched, damn, he is such a pig-like teammate.
Fortunately, Guan Ji turned her eyes again, and then gently knocked the horse's belly, and the horse jogged to the front of the team, putting some distance away from everyone, and she didn't know what it was doing.
“Erlang, what’s going on on your face?”
Feng Yong had no choice but to use the method of changing the topic, and at the same time he was also a little curious. This guy suddenly had some green eyes on his face. He didn't know whether he was beaten by Guan Ji, took advantage of Huang Ji and was tortured, or whether he committed suicide and got involved in the fight between two tigresses. Being mixed doubles.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Zhao Guang's face suddenly showed a look of resentment.
“Brother, why bother to harm the younger brother?”
"What does this have to do with me?" Feng Yongqi said, "You have disappeared from time to time in the past two days. I don't know what you did."
"Brother, have you forgotten? The bamboo slips carved by Sister Guan disappeared that day. Brother said it was all the fault of the younger brother. Didn't the younger brother ask the elder brother to think about the aftermath of the Shu Road Disaster in order to ask Sister to spare the younger brother? ?”
“Yeah, so what?”
"The two sisters had several fights at Yang'an Pass, and each time it was my younger brother who tried to dissuade them. Later, one time I couldn't stop them anymore. In my desperation, my younger brother spilled the beans, saying that the road to Shu is difficult to follow. . Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Auntie Guan suddenly changed her expression and took the opportunity to punish her little brother severely. "
Feng Yong was slightly embarrassed. He turned his eyes away and said, "Guan Ji didn't bother you in the past few days. I guess she forgot about it a long time ago. I didn't expect you to bring it up again. Alas!"
Zhao Guang suddenly understood and exclaimed: "Brother is more quick-thinking. My younger brother is still wondering what's going on, but he didn't expect this level!"
