Chapter 491
Unlike Zhang Xingyi who just felt something strange about this group of sergeants, when Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, learned that the soldiers Feng Yong had transferred from Nanxiang had arrived in Jincheng, he stood up suddenly, with a look of shock on his face, and lost his voice, " The soldiers of Nanxiang are so elite?!"
Counting the days, it took less than a month from the time Feng Mingwen obtained the transfer order from himself and then sent it to Nanxiang. Then the Nanxiang soldiers took action after hearing the order and finally gathered outside Jincheng.
Calculating this, it will definitely take no more than twenty days for Nanxiang soldiers to march from Nanxiang to Jincheng. This is already considered an extremely rare soldier.
But the crux of the problem is that Nanxiang is a gathering place for refugees and barbarians. How did they become elite soldiers in just three years?
Zhuge Liang walked back and forth and made a quick calculation in his mind: According to the data reported by Nanxiang a few days ago, the current population is about 30,000, not counting those Hu and Liao people who have not yet registered.
Doesn’t that mean that Nanxiang can train at least two thousand more elite soldiers?
What else do you know about this place in Nanxiang County?
Zhuge Liang became more and more curious: If you have a chance, you must go and take a good look!
He thought for a while and sent the news to Zhao Yun's house.
Zhao Yun was also surprised after receiving the news from Zhuge Liang. His first reaction was: "Erlang? Erlang! Where is Erlang?"
“What do you want Erlang to do at this time?”
Hearing Zhao Yun’s shout, Mr. Zhao Ma came out and asked.
Zhao Yun couldn't answer this question, so he just said vaguely, "It's nothing big, I just want to ask him a little something."
"If anything happens, think of Erlang, if nothing happens, tell people to stay away!"
Zhao Mashi snorted and said angrily, "Have you forgotten that Erlang has been staying at Feng Langjun's house for eight or nine out of ten days? I don't even know how long I haven't seen him."
When Zhao Ma mentioned this, he lamented and said, "Poor Erlang, he can't even stay in his own home, and he doesn't know whether he can eat well outside or whether he can get used to living..."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he got a headache and said, "If he can't eat well at Fengzhuang, then there won't be anywhere in the world with good food. Do you think he wants to stay at home? He would rather be outside." No one cares about having fun!"
“You just can’t see that Erlang has any future!”
Zhao Mashi immediately felt as if his hair was fried and said angrily, "What do you mean having fun outside without anyone caring about you? Now who doesn't know that Erlang has a future? I went out to attend a party, and when I mentioned Erlang, who wouldn't praise him? I don't know how many people there are. It’s so respectable!”
“Also, hasn’t it been Feng Langjun who has helped with discipline in the past few years? You, an adult, don’t even know how you became a grown-up! I say you should thank them properly..."
“I thank him?”
Zhao Yun shouted, "I am a great General Zhendong..."
Then Zhao Ma’s sharp eyes looked over.
Zhao Yun then lowered his voice and sighed, "You said you were worried about him having a hard time outside, and now you say you want to thank Feng Mingwen. You are right..."
"Erlang only got where he is today after following Feng Langjun!" Zhao Ma was not an unreasonable person. She just heard her explain to Zhao Yun, "How many years have you followed him? Now he can lead an army to defend a place alone. , who can say for sure what will happen from now on?"
“It’s just that you, as an adult, had a problem with Feng Langjun at the beginning. If it really affects the friendship between Erlang and Feng Langjun, I won’t let you go!”
“What quarrel can there be between me and Feng Mingwen?”
Zhao Yun was shocked and thought, who is slandering me?
"You still don't admit it! Erlang has told me a long time ago. I heard that when you first met Feng Langjun, you gave him two whips..."
Zhao Ma reprimanded, "You are a general of Zhendong, and you are also a man who has been granted the title of Marquis. Don't you dare to admit what you have done?"
The Mi family and the Liu family are both relatives of the emperor. They offended Feng Langjun, and the eldest son of the two families ended up running to Nanzhong to seek refuge.
Although Mrs. Zhao Ma didn’t believe that Feng Langjun would hold a grudge for what happened in the past, Erlang finally came forward after following Feng Langjun.
So in Mrs. Zhao's opinion, her husband-in-law did something wrong.
“I can’t wait to whip Zhao Erlang twice now!”
Zhao Yun is really angry. Damn it, in order to please that brother of yours, you dare to betray me? Wait, if you dare to go home and see if I don’t beat you to death!
"you dare!"
Zhao Mashi immediately screamed, "How long has it been since Erlang came back to his house? It's not because he was scared by you! If you dare to hit him again, I will fight you!"
“Incomprehensible! Simply incomprehensible…”
Zhao Yun was so angry that he almost fainted and kept talking.
This is the reason why he doesn't want Erlang to hang around at home. As long as there is something related to this kid, his wife becomes unreasonable.
With that said, Zhao Yun turned around and left.
“Where are you going?”
Zhao Mashi saw that Zhao Yun seemed really angry, so he shouted again.
“Go to Fengzhuang and see those boys.”
Zhao Yun said without looking back.
This time really shocked Zhao Ma. She was just talking about it, but she never thought that her Alang could really save this face.
As soon as she thought about it, she felt a little regretful. Was she too harsh on Alang?
So she stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yun, and persuaded, "On the day when Feng Langjun gets married, I will ask people to send more congratulatory gifts. You don't have to go there in person, right? Your status is much higher than that of Feng Langjun." too much."
Zhao Yun was stunned, and when he saw Zhao Ma's expression, he suddenly understood.
It seems that Xijun is still facing himself.
I could only hear General Zhao coaxing his Xijun, "Hey, I think you were right just now. It's better to talk about this matter. Besides, don't look at how much I beat and scold Erlang on weekdays, but This is also for his own good."
Fengzhuang outside Jincheng is now regarded as a holy place for the younger generation.
Because young leaders such as Feng Langjun, Zhao Langjun, Li Langjun, etc., hang out here on weekdays.
Today, Fengzhuang welcomed a special person.
Zhao Yun, the general of Zhendong of the Han Dynasty, came to Zhuangzi in person with his people.
“I’ve never met General Zhao.”
After Feng Yong heard the report, he quickly led people to welcome him out of the house.
“You, Zhuangzi, have changed a lot. It wasn’t so lively a few years ago.”
Zhao Yun looked around and said something.
Fengzhuang now built a series of sheds on the sunba, which were used to prepare a banquet on the wedding day.
It rains a lot in spring in Sichuan. If it rains on the day when the dragon raises its head, the banquet will not be affected if it is placed in the shed.
A lot of new houses have also been built.
There are renovated houses for farmers and newly built houses for tribes.
More importantly, there are still many brothers from the Xinghan Society in Zhuangzi who have contacts with each other.
Zhao Yun just glanced a few times and saw many familiar faces in the crowd.
He was slightly surprised: it seemed that this boy had really become a leader of the younger generation.
"When the country is at peace and the people are at peace, Zhuangzi in the countryside will naturally become more lively." Feng Yong said modestly, "The people have lived and worked in peace and contentment in the past few years, all because of your wise Majesty and the diligent work of the Prime Minister."
Zhao Yun always puts loyalty first when it comes to the monarch and his ministers, and does not make false claims.
Had he not originally opposed the seizure of people's land after Liu Bei captured Yizhou and rewarded meritorious officials, he would not have spoken out to remonstrate with Liu Bei when he was furious and attacked Wu.
So now when I hear Feng Yong's words, I feel a little awkward.
The great Han Dynasty is now on one side and tired as a dangerous egg. How can it be said that the country is peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment?
Zhao Yun made a "tsk" sound and glanced at Feng Yong again, thinking that this name for his clever words and tricks is really...
Sighed, not wanting to talk to Feng Yong, he said directly, "Huang Chong has led the soldiers from Nanxiang to Jincheng."
“What? The intention has returned?”
Feng Yong was first surprised, then happy, and finally said, "Why is it so slow? I've been worried that he won't be able to catch up with me on the day of my wedding..."
He spoke too quickly and had no time to stop. Feng Yong looked at Zhao Yun and smiled awkwardly.
Zhao Yun did not notice Feng Yong's slip of the tongue because he only noticed the previous paragraph.
He then raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you just say? Wait? Do you know how many miles it is from Nanxiang Jincheng?"
“Probably more than a thousand miles.”
Feng Yong replied casually.
“It’s more than 1,200 miles!”
Zhao Yun saw Feng Yong's appearance, and for some reason, he became angry. "Do you know how long it took the soldiers from Nanxiang to get here?"
“Today is the fifteenth day, just at the time I set.”
Feng Yong answered naturally.
How could I not know the order I gave?
"What? You decided?" When Zhao Yun heard this, his eyelids twitched and he lost his voice, "It takes fifteen days to travel one thousand two hundred miles. In other words, you ask them to walk at least eighty miles a day."
“Yes! What’s wrong?”
Feng Yong asked strangely.
The soldiers I brought out—well, although Huang Chong and others personally trained them, the rules and drills were made by me myself, so they can be considered the ones I led.
The soldiers I bring out must naturally follow my rules.
"Aren't you afraid of mutiny by demanding them so harshly?"
Even though Zhao Yun has been on the battlefield for a long time, he also frowned a little at this time, thinking to himself, are you stupid and bold, or do you have an ulterior motive?
“Are there soldiers mutiny?”
Feng Yong's face finally turned serious this time. Could it be that he was really careless? Are the soldiers of this era so weak?
Zhao Yun looked straight at Feng Yong, trying to see the joke on his face. After a long time, he said slowly, "No."
“Ouch! Old General Zhao, your words are very misleading.”
Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief and wondered when did Lao Zhao start breathing heavily when he spoke?
“May I ask General Zhao, where are they now?”
“Of course it has been arranged according to the rules.”
Zhao Yun nodded, "I came here this time because I want you to accompany me to see those soldiers."
"good."
Feng Yong nodded, not feeling anything wrong.
Zhao Yun is now the number one person in the army. Regarding military matters in Jincheng, no one except Zhuge Lao Yao dares to say no to him, at least Feng Yong does not dare.
