Chapter 393 Isn’t it good to be alive?
Is this... a big deal?
Seeing the looks on several people's faces, Feng Yong's excited mind finally came to his senses.
Li Yi nodded, turned around, and ordered his servants to guard the courtyard door. No one was allowed to approach the room. After finally closing the door, he came over and whispered, "Brother, my lord is not in the house."
“Huh?!” Feng Yong looked at Li Yi in surprise, “Not in the house? Where have you been?”
"I don't know. I heard that he left the house quietly ten days ago, and even General Wang followed him."
Li Yi looked a little solemn, "Now the government only tells the outside world that it is the time of the Southern Expedition and there are many military affairs, so no outsiders will be received. No one in the city knows that your Excellency has actually left Pingyi long ago."
Hearing what Li Yi said, Feng Yong was instantly convinced that this must be Zhuge Lao Yao's arrangement.
But the Southern Expedition was of great importance, and he had to remind Li Yi.
"Captain Li did this because he definitely didn't want others to know where he had gone. Naturally, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Wenxuan, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to tell me like this? "
"It doesn't matter, I can't hide this from my brother. After all, my brother has arrived in Pingyi, and if he doesn't see me, it will be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "What's more important is that before he left, the master left a message in the house, saying that after the younger brother came back, he would ask his elder brother to help cover up something, so the younger brother came over quickly to discuss it with his elder brother."
“How does Governor Li plan to cover it up?” Feng Yong asked.
"My lord, what I mean is that after my brother arrives in Pingyi, I will bother him to go to the Governor's Mansion the next day. I will only tell the outside world that my brother is going to visit you, and then I will arrange everything in the mansion and pretend that my lord is still there. generally."
Feng Yong’s eyes flashed, “Hiding the truth?”
“Exactly.”
Li Yi gave a high-five and said, "Your Excellency has not shown up for a few days. People with good intentions in the city are a little suspicious. If my brother comes here, I can help you cover up your presence for a few more days."
"It's just..." Li Yi glanced at Zhao Guang and Wang Xun, with a wry smile on his face, "No one expected that Yiwen and Zushi arrived at this time. I had no choice but to Pulled everyone over."
Hearing Li Yi's words, Feng Yong suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded. Ma Zhong's job of suppressing the rebellion was too good and too fast, and it actually caused trouble?
But now everyone knows that Zhao Guang and Wang Xun are Feng Yong's die-hard younger brothers, so after reporting to the Governor's Mansion, they came directly to see Feng Yong, and no one would suspect anything.
"Since they are entrusted by Governor Li, I will not refuse. It's just that Yiwen and Zushi were sent by General Ma to assist Governor Li. Now we don't even know where Governor Li has gone. What should Yiwen and Zushi do? "
It is impossible to send people back to ask Ma Zhong for instructions. Even if it is urgent, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth. Who knows what new situation will happen by then?
"It doesn't matter. According to my estimation, it will only take a few days for you to get the news, and then Yiwen and Zishi can go there."
When Li Yi said this, there was a worried look on his face.
When Feng Yong saw him, his heart moved and he asked, "Are Wenxuan worried about Governor Li?"
Li Yi nodded, "Now that Zoke County is in peace, and Yiwen and Zishi have just returned from there, there is no news about you, so I thought that you must not have gone there."
"So Governor Li either went west to Yueqi County, or..." Feng Yong pondered for a moment, and said with some uncertainty, "Or he went south to Yizhou County."
As he spoke, he raised his head and met Li Yi's gaze.
“Yizhou County?” Feng Yong asked tentatively.
Li Yi nodded lightly, "My little brother thinks so too."
Feng Yong looked at Zhao Guang and the other three people, and saw puzzled expressions on their faces.
After thinking for a while, he felt that this was a good opportunity to learn, and immediately ordered, "Wei Ran, go get a piece of paper. Also, bring the long box that is placed with the paper."
Yang Wanwan responded, opened the door and went out, then turned back to get his things after a while.
“Since there’s nothing going on, let’s discuss the current situation of the Southern Expedition with everyone.”
Feng Yong said as he spread out the paper.
He doesn't understand how to lead troops in battle in person, but he still knows a little bit about talking about war on paper.
Of course, the focus is on this "paper".
Before taking the course of computer-aided drawing (mainly learning CAD drawing), you must first learn plane analytic geometry, cartography, metrological geography and other map-related courses.
When he started working, he felt that learning that thing was in vain and of no use at all. But now he is very happy. Learning to draw is really useful!
Open the wooden box and take out the carefully made charcoal pencils, as well as wooden rulers, triangles, etc.
Amidst the confused gazes of everyone, Feng Yong could be seen immersed in painting with a rustle.
Feng Yong went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the map of Nanzhong many times when he was still in Jincheng.
After I came back, I drew secretly in the study many times, and it has already been engraved in my mind.
So he quickly drew a complete map of Nanzhong.
It is very crude and the proportions are not standard. Some of the mountains and rivers on it are even marked in the wrong places.
This cannot be blamed on Feng Yong, because the map in the Prime Minister's Palace looked like this. He tried many times but could not completely match it with the accurate maps of later generations.
The most we can do is to improve it as much as possible based on the maps of China from later generations.
Thinking about it when I was taking a cartography course, if I dared to draw such a thing, the grumpy professor would have made him retake the exam for three years before letting him go - it would be so embarrassing!
It is a pity that the ignorant ancients did not think so.
So Feng Tuluo's skill of drawing maps with his bare hands obviously shocked several people in the room.
“Brother...Brother, is this the map of Nanzhong?”
Zhao Guang looked at the map and asked tremblingly.
At the same time, his hand gently caressed it, as if caressing a rare treasure.
“Right? Brother!”
Zhao Guang raised his head suddenly, his eyes bright.
"That's right." Feng Yong continued to write the place names on it, "Move your hand away!"
After writing down the main place names, Feng Yong stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, let's take a look."
There is no need for Feng Yong to remind him, everyone is eager to put this picture into their eyes.
"This is Pingyi," Feng Yong pointed on it with a charcoal pen. "We are at this location. Wenxuan, is there any news from the Prime Minister over at Yuesi County?"
"Oh, yes." Li Yi raised his head, "According to a recent official document, the Prime Minister has arrived at Beishui and is confronting Gaoding."
Feng Yong looked down at the map, shook his head, and said, "This situation is not right. When we set off from Jincheng, the Prime Minister had already set off to Anshang, and now he is still in the Beishui area. It is too slow."
“Brother, what do you mean, the Prime Minister did this on purpose?”
Zhao Guang also raised his head and asked.
Feng Yong looked at the map and did not answer. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he finally said: "Yiwen, if you come to lead the troops for the prime minister, how will you play high-definition?"
Zhao Guang said without hesitation.
“Oh? Are you sure?”
"How can we be so unsure? The troops led by the prime minister are far superior to Gaoding, and coupled with the elite soldiers who have been trained for two years, they are beyond the power of the barbarians. It is extremely easy to defeat Gaoding."
Zhao Guangxin said.
Feng Yong nodded, and then asked, "You are right. But why didn't the Prime Minister do this?"
Feng Yong has been thinking about this question before setting off from Jincheng. Now he can guess a little bit. How can Zhao Guang be able to answer it?
Looking at everyone's confused look, Feng Yong shook his head and pretended to be very inscrutable.
“So, now you can be a vanguard, but you cannot lead an army alone. You must know that as a general, you can’t just see what’s in front of you, but you must also consider the overall situation.”
“The big picture?”
"Yes." Feng Yong pointed to Yizhou County again, "There are rebels here who are not much different from Haute Couture. Do you think they will stand idly by?"
“Brother, you mean that Meng Huo and Yong Kai will reinforce Gaoding?”
Yang Wanwan finally couldn't help but asked.
“Definitely, they won’t understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold.”
Feng Yong breathed a long sigh of relief and finally confirmed one thing in his mind. He threw the charcoal pen on the map and asked, "Why does it take the Prime Minister so long to walk from Bodao to Beishui?"
“The Prime Minister is waiting! Wait until all the rebels are gathered together and then we can annihilate them!”
Li Yi was the first to react and pointed to Beishui's position with his finger, "
"That's right." Feng Yong nodded, "I thought so too, and the reason why General Ma rushed all the way and wiped out Zoke County with a thunderous force is probably because of this."
“Once Zoke County is pacified, the rebels in Yizhou County have no choice but to save Gaoding.”
Li Yi is indeed a highly intelligent person who can understand everything at a glance. His face turned red and he became more and more excited as he spoke. "So, at this time, most of Yizhou County's troops have been taken away."
Feng Yong smiled slightly, looked at Li Yi, and then said, "On the other hand, Governor Li quietly led his troops south to find an opportunity to invade Yizhou County, and at the same time cut off Meng Huo and Yong Kai's retreat."
“The Prime Minister’s plan is profound!”
Li Yi praised, "In this way, as long as you can really succeed, none of these four rebels can escape."
“If you fall into the net, where can you run?”
Feng Yong smiled calmly.
After saying this, everyone finally understood and burst into laughter.
Everyone’s heart is filled with admiration for the Prime Minister.
“Brother, wouldn’t it be better for me to take the people and go south directly to find Governor Li?”
Zhao Guang said eagerly.
"No hurries?"
Feng Yong glanced at Zhao Guang angrily, "This is just our conjecture. Whether it is true or not, we have to wait until the news comes from Governor Li."
“Besides, even if it’s true, Governor Li quietly left Pingyi, obviously just to avoid leaks. He might be hiding somewhere now. Where can you find him?”
After teaching Zhao Guang a lesson, Feng Yong turned his attention to the map again.
“How many of the rebels in Yizhou County can Wenxuanzi defeat?”
Feng Yong thought for a while and then asked Li Yi again.
"There are two rebel armies in Yizhou County, Meng Huo and Yong Kai. The combined strength of the two is not much worse than Gaoding in Yue Ke County. Although Yong Kai was the first to rebel in Nanzhong, in fact the Meng family was the one in Yizhou. The number one family in the state and county.”
"When Yong Kai rebelled, the Yi people in Yizhou County did not obey him at all. If it had not been for the support of the Meng family, and the head of the Meng family, Meng Huo, personally lobbied the chiefs and commanders of various Yi tribes, Yizhou County might not have It can cause chaos.”
"The Meng family is deeply rooted in Yizhou County. It is not an exaggeration to say that one call can be answered by a hundred responses. As long as the Meng family is willing, they can actually recruit a lot of barbarian soldiers from the Yi tribe in Yizhou County."
When Li Yi said this, his face became solemn again, "The troops in your hands are not even 30% of the rebels in Yizhou County. Even if most of the rebels in Yizhou County go north to reinforce Gaoding, but with your actions I’m afraid we may not be able to pacify Yizhou County.”
“Where is General Ma? After pacifying Zoke County, we only let you come here?”
Feng Yong thought for a while and asked Zhao Guang again.
"General Ma wanted to pacify the people in Qilan, so he only asked us to bring his troops over."
Zhao Guang replied.
“Is it possible that General Ma will lead his army further south to support Governor Li?”
Feng Yong asked.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "No. It is too far from Zoke County to Yizhou County, and there are no major roads at all, only trails in the mountains. We Han people are no better than barbarians. Barbarians have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and can walk in the mountains as fast as apes."
"But for the Han people, even a small group of troops would take at least a month to get out of the southern part of Zoke County. If it were a large army, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get through there at all."
"So the best way is to go back to Pingyi from Qielan first like Yiwen and Zishi, and then go south from Pingyi to Yizhou County. Therefore, I think it is impossible for General Ma to lead his army through the southern part of Zangke County Go to Yizhou County."
“Captain Li is an important minister of the imperial court, and the Prime Minister will definitely not let Governor Li take risks easily, so there must be something we can’t guess.”
Feng Yong comforted Li Yidao, "Let's wait a few days for the news from Governor Li to come through, and then we can deal with it."
Li Yi nodded, "It can only be like..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something again and shouted out loud, "That's right! How could I forget him!"
“Who did Wenxuan forget?”
Li Yi took a deep breath, looked shocked, and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by a few people: "Meng Yan, this person is Meng Huo's younger brother and the number one under Meng Huo. A tiger general, but he secretly surrendered to the big man a long time ago."
Fuck!
Feng Yong almost cursed out loud.
I said, how can Old Demon Zhuge still be so confident when he is on someone else's territory? Why is he playing a game of seven captures and seven manipulations with Meng Huo?
In terms of weather, it can't compare to his adaptability to the climate in South China, in terms of geographical advantages, he can't compare to his familiarity with the environment, and in terms of people, he can't compare to his appeal among the barbarians - but the **** old demon Zhuge has a traitor, and he just killed Meng Huo. The kind of high-level traitor who can be the boss!
How is this different from a cat playing with a mouse? The more you ask for help, the more you are equivalent to taking Old Demon Zhuge to the barbarian tribe in Nanzhong...
Then he continued to do it, and directly caused the mental breakdown of those respectable barbarian kings and barbarian commanders in Nanzhong. They cried and shouted to Grandpa Zhuge not to beat me, I surrendered, and I will never dare to do it again...
Then while he was crying sadly, Old Demon Zhuge stuffed a sweet date into his mouth. Be good, good children will be rewarded!
Look, your clothes are all torn. I will teach you how to spin and weave.
Are you hungry? Come, I will teach you how to farm.
This land is not plowed by hand, it can only be cultivated with plows pulled by oxen...
So, isn’t it good to live?
