Chapter 681 Heading South
Guan Ji pushed Feng Yong angrily, "What are you talking about? What does borrowing without repaying mean?"
Feng Yong clicked his tongue, "Am I still wrong?"
Dangtang Dahan Prime Minister, Black My Creative, Black My Labor, Black I have worked hard to train soldiers, and 500,000 telescopes said that when he entered his arms, he was in his arms.
You had the nerve to say that you would keep it for me first.
At any rate, I can be considered half of your son-in-law. Where is the new year's money? I don’t even give half a cent during the Chinese New Year.
Guan Ji felt dumbfounded on the spot after hearing Feng Yong's childish complaints.
"Actually speaking, the Prime Minister still values Alang very much. The Prime Minister once said that there is nothing more loyal than a loyal person."
“Since You Chu is a talent that the prime minister likes, and Alang takes the initiative to recommend this person, I think the prime minister will be happy.”
“So, Alang can just talk about the previous words at home, but don’t mention them to others, lest they be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.”
Hearing this, Feng Yong replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not a melon boy."
After appeasing Guan Ji, Feng Yong asked Amei to serve her carefully, and then hurriedly went out to find Chen Shi.
Chen Shi, the prefect of Longxi, heard that Feng Yong wanted to be seconded to Longxi to join the army in Gongsun Zheng, and he readily agreed on the spot.
Originally Feng Yong thought that Gongsun Zheng was a talent after all, and Chen Shihui was a little reluctant to part with him, but unexpectedly, he saw that he was eager to push Gongsun Zheng out.
He felt a little strange at the moment and asked tentatively, "What's the relationship between Taishou Chen and Gongsun joining the army?"
"A certain person has a good relationship with Gongsun who joined the army." Chen Shi was a little surprised by Feng Yong's question. "A certain person was entrusted by the prime minister to guard Longxi to guard against Cao's thieves. This is exactly the time when he needs help from Longxi's patriots."
“Gongsun joined the army with great strategy and was well-known in Longxi. He is someone who is important to someone, so his relationship with him is not bad.”
Seeing Feng Yong's still confused look, Chen Shi thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "The prince is unaware of something. It is precisely because Gongsun is talented in joining the army that I am willing to recommend him to the prince."
He lowered his voice as he spoke, "Actually, the relationship between X and Boyan is quite close in private, but it is precisely because of this that X feels that it is much better for Boyan to follow the prince than to join the army in Longxi."
“What do you mean?” Feng Yong was even more confused.
Chen Shi’s words cannot be too clear, “At such a young age as a prince, he has already been awarded the rank of lord based on his military exploits, and he has also taken charge of protecting the Qiang lieutenant.”
"Even if Boyan can get a job as a Qiang protector, his future will be much better than just joining the army in Longxi."
"I understand." Feng Yong nodded, but still hesitated, "I just don't know Boyan's ambition?"
"You don't need to worry. I will talk to Boyan personally about this matter. You can just wait for the good news with peace of mind."
Chen Shi patted his chest and said.
Feng Yong led the army to Xiangwu, giving Longxi a shot in the arm.
At this time, news came out that the mistress of the Feng family was pregnant, and everyone who belonged to the Colonel Huqiang was given a shot of adrenaline.
At the door of Guan Ji's room, there are maids with swords guarding the door at all times twelve hours a day.
Even when Feng Yong came in and out, the maid's eyes were scrutinizing, as if she was suspecting that she was going to do something bad.
Not to mention that outside the courtyard, the guards were tightly guarded.
Compared to the people in Xiangwu who felt that this winter was not too cold, the bald Xianbei tribe far away in the West Sea felt that it was extremely cold.
In November, it has started to snow in the West Sea.
Bald-faced Khotan Li, who finally escaped from Longxi and returned to the West Sea, led his people to wander outside Longyi City, the farthest corner of Xiping County, constantly looking towards the east.
The west wind was cold and cold, and the bald man immediately wrapped his blanket tightly around his body. He looked back at the tribesmen who were shivering from the cold, but their eyes were still eager.
He couldn't help but sigh.
“Come, come! Young Master, your lord is back!”
Someone suddenly cheered.
Bald-haired Tianli heard this and quickly looked in the direction pointed by the tribesmen. He saw a group of people and horses appearing in the distance, heading this way despite the cold wind.
Bald-haired Kheli quickly led the people to greet him.
As the two sides approached, the bald man immediately shouted, "Ada, has the Wei general promised to sell us grain?"
The leader of the opponent lifted the hood used to protect his head from the wind and snow, revealing a face covered with wind and frost. His face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes were determined.
“Let’s go back to the clan first.”
The bald Pi Gu said in a hoarse voice.
Bald-faced Kheli heard this and looked at the tribesmen who followed Ada to the Wei territory. Everyone was empty-handed, and his heart sank immediately.
The bald section has been grazing in the west and north of the West Sea in the spring and summer. In winter, it will return to the east to try to get close to the Han territory as much as possible in order to buy food and winter materials from the Han people.
Then he said in a low voice, "General Hao said that there will be a severe drought in Liangzhou this year and there will be no food harvest."
“Moreover, the Shu people from the south invaded again and occupied Longyou. Liangzhou is in danger, so there is no extra food to lend us.”
As soon as these words came out, all the leaders in the account were in a commotion.
On the other hand, Bald-Fa Kheli was more able to keep his composure. Hearing this, he just frowned and said, "What about selling? We can buy furs, or even cattle and sheep, isn't it okay?"
Bald Pigu sighed and shook his head, "They don't even have enough food to eat. I heard that this year's new governor personally went to Liangzhou wealthy families to borrow food. Where can they get the food to sell to us?"
Someone who was impatient asked loudly, "Sir, what about the military achievements? The Young Lord led most of our clan's elite cavalry to accompany the Wei people to fight."
“This time, most of our clan’s elite cavalry have been lost. Isn’t there any compensation?”
Bald Pigu's face became even more ugly, "What kind of compensation? The Wei people have suffered a great loss at the hands of the Han people and are too busy to take care of themselves. How could they possibly think of compensating us?"
As he said that, he glanced at his son Baldao Tiali and said, "Tu Gu, do you think it is true or not?"
Bald-haired Tianli nodded, "The Wei people were almost wiped out when they went to Longyou. Only four to five out of ten of them managed to escape."
When everyone heard this, they became even more angry.
“But sir, we traveled all the way from Yinshan Mountain, and our clansmen died many times. We finally found a place in the West Sea, and the Wei people came to recruit us to fight for them.”
“This battle has seriously damaged our clan’s vitality. If they don’t compensate us, they won’t even sell us food. Isn’t this driving us to a dead end?”
Some even said directly, "Sir, let's go grab it directly? If the Wei people don't give it to us, we'll get it ourselves!"
This statement received a response from most people in the tent, "Yes, sir, let's just go grab it!"
“Why should we listen to them if they don’t give us a way to survive?”
The Xianbei people are different from other Hu people. They are probably the only Hu people who have a psychological advantage over the Han people.
After all, Tanshihuai had a great influence on Xianbei.
Not only did he defeat the Han army many times, but he also occupied many Han counties.
The Han emperor once asked Tanshihuai for peace, but Tanshihuai not only refused, but even stepped up his invasion.
Although Xianbei is not as good as before, it was not defeated by the Han people, but caused by its own internal divisions.
So when they were forced to this point, they subconsciously wanted to go back to their old business: robbery.
Not only did they rob the Han people, but they also robbed the surrounding Hu people.
Bald Pigu’s eyes flickered and he looked at Bald Kheli, “Tu Gu, what do you think?”
Bald-haired Tianli pondered for a long time, but shook his head, "That's inappropriate. Hao Zhao has been guarding Hexi for many years, and he is a capable man."
"Even if we gain temporarily, we will end up with a strong enemy. With the current situation of our tribe, it is not enough to compete with the Wei people."
“But what will our tribe do this winter? If this continues, not only will people freeze to death, but they will also starve to death!”
“Then let’s go southeast.”
Bald-faced Khotan seemed to have considered this issue a long time ago, "Longxi is located southeast of the West Sea. At that time, I led people back from there and saw that the west side of Longxi was full of miscellaneous beards."
"They occupy areas with abundant water and grass, as well as the Tao River, a large river that irrigates the fields. I have inquired and found that the area around Panghan and Heguan in Longxi was abandoned by the Wei people."
“Now the area is full of Zahu, Qiang and Di people grazing. We Xianbei people are much stronger than those Zahu, and we can directly grab their territory.”
“In this way, we can not only find a place to spend the winter, but also gain people, cattle and sheep to enrich our tribe.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent looked at each other.
"It's much easier to rob Zahu Ke than to rob Wei people." Bald-haired Pigu murmured.
When everyone heard this, they all had moved expressions on their faces.
Yes, it is much easier to rob Zahu than to rob the Wei people, and after robbing Zahu, it is easy to digest their tribe.
“But we don’t know the way.”
Someone asked a question.
“Young Master should recognize it, right?”
Bald-faced Tianli nodded, "Let's go south first, cross the river, and then go southeast. We will soon enter Longxi."
“But it’s already very cold now, and those **** must have found a place to spend the winter. What if we can’t find them when we get there?”
Some people are still worried.
"No. The Wei people have suffered a big loss in Longyou. I heard that the Qiang and Hu people in Longxi no longer listen to them and are besieging the Wei people's city."
Bald-faced Tianli said with certainty, "If we go there, if we are lucky, we may be able to take the opportunity to rob the Wei people's city after robbing Zahu."
“Even after the Wei people investigate the crime, we can put this crime on Zahu.”
