Chapter 716: Solving the doubts
“Your Majesty is very anxious?”
Han Qiu looked at Feng Yong's appearance and became even more determined, "I still have something to ask for."
I want you, a young man like you, to die as soon as possible!
Feng Yong took a deep breath and said, "I wonder if there is anything else, sir?"
"I, a member of the Han family, will not work for Liu Han in life, and will not be buried in Liu Han's land after death."
“I know that I have no chance of survival, so I only hope that after my death, my Lord will let someone burn my body and gather ashes, and help me pack my clothes.”
“A certain person once brought over a hundred people from Dingxiang, but now there are still dozens of people who have fallen into the hands of the king.”
“If the prince can select a few people from among them, he can send my relics back to Dingxiang, so that no one’s relics can be left in the Han Dynasty.”
“Even under the spring of the earth, I am grateful.”
Han Qiu stood up and saluted Feng Yong solemnly.
“How many people? Are ten people enough?”
Feng Junhou, who was wealthy and wealthy, quickly calculated in his mind, one by one equals one, and two by one equals three.
Ten people are worth a thousand yuan, which is a bit expensive and feels a bit painful.
"That's enough!" Han Chou said happily, "Thank you first."
"There is no need to thank you in a hurry. Whether your soul will survive after your death depends on what you said."
As long as what you say is valuable, money or not, ah, no, I mean, it doesn’t matter if you thank me or not.
Of course, if you dare to lie to me, I heard that fertilizing ashes is very effective?
Anyway, farming is being resumed in Pingxiang.
Feng Junhou thought it was fair.
Hearing Feng Yong say this, Han Qiu did not hide it anymore: "Hao Zhao is about to die."
“Hao Zhao?” Feng Yong was startled. He couldn’t react, or he couldn’t believe it. “That Hao Zhao from Liangzhou?”
“It seems that there is only one Hao Zhao who can be remembered by the king, right?”
Han Qiu said.
There is really only one. In the original history, the burning made Old Demon Zhuge furious, and last year it made Old Man Wei almost vomit blood.
Feng Yong raised his head and tried hard to recall, when did Hao Zhao die in the original history?
I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't remember where to record when Hao Zhao died.
I only remember that he died of serious illness, and it was after the second Northern Expedition.
The second Northern Expedition in history took place after the Battle of Shiting, in December last year.
It's just "after", how long is it?
But there is no specific time.
“How can you be so sure, sir?”
Feng Yong looked suspicious on his face and asked Han Qiu.
“Because I came from Liangzhou and Hao Zhao was seriously ill, and I personally treated him.”
Han Qiu smiled calmly and said, "If you have a way to find out the news about Liangzhou, you can know that last year, Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, went to Guang to find a famous doctor."
Hearing that Han Qiu said that Hao Zhao was seriously ill, Feng Yong already believed it 50-60%: Yes, it is similar to what was recorded in history.
"Hao Zhao's disease is actually a disease of intestinal ulcer, combined with fire attacking the heart, and qi stagnation has accumulated in the chest for a long time. He must slowly regulate and recuperate before he can be cured."
“At that time, a certain person only suppressed his condition temporarily and used ginseng to boost his vitality. As soon as he finished the medicine that a certain person left for him, the condition would relapse and his life would be short-lived!”
“In addition, ginseng is the thing that makes Lao Yang suffer from internal heat. I am afraid that he will vomit blood and die. Therefore, I dare to say that Hao Zhao will definitely not survive April this year.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he felt his chest beating violently.
Hao Zhao has been guarding Liangzhou and Hexi for more than ten years. He has won the hearts of the Han and Hu people in Hexi and has high prestige.
And his people commanded the troops well and put down the rebellion in Liangzhou many times.
Although he was defeated by the Tiger Infantry led by Zhuge Laoyao himself last year, when he besieged Xiangwu City, Zhuge Laoyao had heard of Hao Zhao's reputation in Hexi and attached great importance to him.
If he dies, Liangzhou will lose a pillar.
So this information is very important.
"The prince, Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, is a civil servant. He has a good way of governing the people, but in terms of military affairs, he is far inferior to his ability to govern the people. Only by looking up to Hao Zhao can he control the soldiers and generals of Liangzhou."
"Last year Liangzhou was shaken and people's hearts were not yet stable. If Hao Zhao goes there again, there will be no one with enough prestige in the land west of Hexi. It is the right time to send troops westward."
Han Qiu saw the change in Feng Yong's expression, and immediately spoke with a sharp tongue and tried his best to persuade him.
Feng Langjun, who has the special skill of "eloquent words and seduction", is naturally immune to similar skills. How can Han Qiu be persuaded by a few words?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
This Han Qiu hates the big man so much, how can he think about the big man?
The way he is now, he is either telling lies or has ulterior motives.
It doesn't matter if you tell lies. Whether Hao Zhao will die in April, you can always find out if you find a way.
And based on the historical trajectory, it is indeed very likely that Hao Zhao is about to die of illness.
Taking a step back, the next step of the Han Dynasty is definitely to take Liangzhou into his hands. Even if Hao Zhao is alive, he will not be able to stop the Han Dynasty.
The only difference is whether it is more difficult or easier.
The only thing to worry about is if Han Qiu has other agendas.
Feng Yong thought of this and felt a little hesitant, feeling that his IQ was not quite enough.
So I may need a wise concubine...
"Capturing Liangzhou is a great thing for the Han Dynasty. Why is Sir so abnormal and enthusiastic?"
Feng Yong couldn't help but ask in the end.
"Your Majesty, I only promised to tell you about Liangzhou and guarantee that it is true. As for why I am so enthusiastic, if I say that it is to repay you for helping me solve my doubts, will you believe it?"
Han Qiu seemed to have expected such a question from Feng Yongyou, and his eyes were full of teasing.
I believe you, you are such a bad old man!
How about giving him the top ten tortures of a Man-Han banquet first?
As soon as Feng Yong thought about it, he glanced at Han Qiu with eager eyes.
Just remembering that this old guy was so calm before dying, torture may not be able to pry his mouth open.
What's more, Han Long also used Jia Yi's words to persuade Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to admonish himself. If he was sentenced to death, it would be a broken promise.
Finally, I thought about my notoriety in Nanzhong. The little reputation I had finally accumulated among the rangers, if I really reneged on my promise, I might not be able to keep this little reputation.
So Feng Yong calmed down again. He looked at Han Qiu without any sign of weakness: "Of course I believe what you said, sir."
I can’t figure it out. Could it be that Old Demon Zhuge can’t figure it out either?
If Zhuge Lao Yao eats such a large piece of fat meat in Liangzhou, it is impossible for him to be suffocated to death. Instead, it will make him fatter.
Looking at the IQ of this old guy, it is impossible to compare with the Han Prime Minister.
Feng Tubie figured this out and became happy again: Do you know there is someone above me?
On the other hand, Han Qiu was a little surprised when he saw that Feng Yong looked calm and had no doubt that what he said was a lie. He seemed very confident.
"The prince indeed has a beautiful mind. No wonder he is able to occupy a high position at such a young age."
Me being a prince has nothing to do with my ambition.
Feng Yongcai doesn’t care about his flattery. Do you think you don’t have to die for praising me like this? Beautiful thought!
"There is one more thing I want to ask you, sir. The Bald Hair Division made an agreement with me to fight against the rebels together. But in the end, there was silence. I wonder what you did to them, sir?"
Feng Yong asked.
Some time ago, I gave Baludao Khotan half a catty of tea leaves and three jars of strong wine...
Isn’t this a loss?
"It's nothing. When the Bald Pigu tribe was still on the grassland, I had treated many people in the Bald Tribe, and I have some connections with them."
“When I came here this time, I went to reminisce about old times and reminded them of what they would face if they defeated the Pohanhu people alone.”
Han Qiu looked at Feng Yong with a smile on his face, "So I suggest them to invite the Han army to come over and attack the Hu people in Fanhan together."
Feng Yong's expression changed.
"Then what?"
“They think what I said makes sense.”
“So when you led the Qifu tribe through the Daxia River, they promised you not to tell me anything?”
"That's not true, but there is an elder who I have known for a long time in the Bald Hair Ministry. I saved his life back then. He just told me the whereabouts of the messenger sent by the Bald Hair Ministry."
“Did you intercept the messenger from the Ministry of Baldness?”
“Otherwise, wouldn’t the prince know my whereabouts?”
Feng Yong was relieved when he heard this.
If the Baldness Department is not even willing to inform me of the news, although I can't bear it, I have to kill him.
“I once asked Bald Khotan to arrive in Daxia County, but now that he has not arrived for a long time, it seems that it was you who did something?”
Feng Yong confirmed with Han Qiu again.
"He was summoned to Daxia County by the Lord. He was attacked and injured on the way. The Hu people didn't have much scheming, I'm afraid many people thought it was the Lord."
Han Qiu said in a very concerned tone, "I'm afraid you will have to put a lot of effort into explaining it to them."
When Feng Yong heard this, he stood up suddenly and glared at Han Qiu, "Did you blame me?"
This old man really does whatever he wants.
Saving Hao Zhao only saved half of it, and then sold the news to himself.
Borrowed troops from Liangzhou, but then sold Liangzhou.
Remind the bald part to pay attention to safety, and think of ways to trick the bald part halfway through.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong was horrified. He couldn't believe that this old guy was also digging a hole, preparing to bury himself!
So you can’t follow his rhythm.
Feng Yong took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions: "Sir, do you have no regrets in acting like this?"
When Han Qiu heard this, he laughed and said, "Did Liu Bangyi and the Han family feel guilty?"
“A certain person once inquired about the king. I heard that he was known as the Ghost King in Nanyi. He feeds on flesh and blood, and his reputation can stop children from crying at night.”
“In the middle of Shu, he is known as Xiao Wenhe. He offers poison and plots to plot the wealth of the wealthy families in Shu. Those who jump from the city to the river are like autumn leaves leaving the tree.”
“After coming to Longyou, the Qiang and Hu all called Feng Langjun, but based on the monarch’s plot against the Tufa tribe, I already knew what would happen to the Qiang and Hu in Longyou…”
Feng Yong was furious, "Shut up! Old man, do you think I dare not kill you?"
Slander, this is the biggest slander!
Han Qiu sighed, shook his head, and stood up, "The prince plays with the world at the palm of his hand. He can slaughter a city with a word and wipe out a clan with a word. He is worthy of learning from the ancient master."
"I am defeated at the hands of a prince, so I really don't complain. If I hear the truth in the morning, I will die in the evening. If I can get the prince to explain my doubts today, it is not in vain that I have traveled thousands of miles to Longxi."
"If the prince has no further questions, then I will leave first."
Feng Yong had a gloomy face and said solemnly: "Then I won't send you off, sir."
After a while, Huo Yi came in and said, "Your Majesty, the leader of the thieves has committed suicide with his sword."
“Have you checked the things he left behind?”
Feng Yong's face was calm and his eyes were deep. The anger he felt when he was talking to Han Qiu had long since disappeared.
“After checking, they are all common clothes, nothing special.”
Feng Yong nodded, "That's good, cremate the body, and then select ten of his personal followers from among the prisoners of war and hand the things to them."
Failing to cure Hao Zhao, and at the same time spreading the news to himself, plus increasing Han Long's favor, these things combined are indeed worth a thousand dollars.
The next day, Feng Yong led the army to Daxia County and joined forces with Chen Shi who was guarding there.
At this point, the spring campaign launched by the Han Dynasty against the Hu rebels in Longxi came to an end.
With Didao as the center, reaching Daxia County in the west and Guguan in the north, these three points formed important supports and opened up the southern passage from Longxi to Liangzhou.
From Nan'an County to Yuzhong, Liangzhou, and from Didao to Jincheng, the two roads in the north and south are like the two fangs of the Han Dynasty, which can launch an attack on Liangzhou at any time.
Yuzhong and Jincheng are the two most important strongholds of Liangzhou on the east side of the Yellow River. Now they are finally exposed to the Han army at the same time.
As the temperature continues to rise, the ice and snow melt, and the Daxia River flowing through Daxia County swells.
Accompanied by Chen Shi, Jufu and others, Feng Yong patrolled along the east bank of the Daxia River.
"Do you really want to withdraw your troops? At this time, the Qiang and Hu people in Wuhan have become frightened. If we continue to go west, we may not be able to cross the Wuhan River Pass."
Chen Shi looked to the west with some reluctance.
Feng Yong sighed and shook his head, "The time has not come yet. Without General Zhao to put pressure on the Liangzhou Cao thieves from the north, we will have to be attacked on both sides."
The attack was originally here. In addition, there was movement in Cao Wei to the east of Longshan. Dongfeng Express must give priority to delivering food to the Longyou Governor's Mansion.
Hence, the troops of the Guarding Qiang Colonel who entered Longxi for mopping up operations had no temporary plans to increase expenditures on additional food and grass.
Not only has there been no additional expenditure, but it is also preparing to reap the dividends of the war.
Group after group of prisoners of war were tied with hemp ropes and began to be escorted eastward.
At the same time, after rewarding the soldiers, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses were left, and they were also sent to Pingxiang.
“It’s cheaper for the bald part.”
Feng Yong looked at the herds of cattle, sheep and horses with regret in his eyes.
I heard that the Bald Ministry harvested more than 100,000 livestock.
He actually only drank the tail soup, which made Feng Junhou feel a little disadvantaged.
“Your Majesty, when it comes to baldness, how should we deal with it?”
Chen Shi pretended not to notice Feng Junhou’s financial obsession and asked seriously.
"Don't worry about them." Feng Yong sneered, "If they come looking for you, just let them go to Pingxiang to find me."
I have expressed enough goodwill to the Bald Hair Department. If they are ignorant and want to take advantage of their situation, Sajia will sooner or later let you know what the power of the Ghost King is.
Don’t worry about whether I know what happened in the Baldness Department. It’s a fact that you didn’t fulfill your promise.
So you must take the initiative to explain, and your attitude must be sincere, otherwise the leader, ah, no, is the ghost king.
Do you want the Ghost King to take the initiative to find out about the situation from you? Does the leader have no face?
"Prefect Chen, your task is to guard Didao tightly, and at the same time use Daxia County as the boundary to block the Qiang and Hu in the west. Whatever the Bald Hair Tribe asks for, they cannot be granted."
“No!”
“Does Grand Administrator Chen have any suggestions for the defenders of Didao, Daxia City, and Guguan?”
Although this battle was mainly fought by the troops protecting the Qiang colonels, after all, Chen Shi was the real governor of Longxi, so we still had to ask his opinion.
“Back to the king, Didao was originally the county seat of Longxi. Therefore, if I want to move the county government back to Didao, I can also strengthen the defense of Didao.”
"As for Gu Pass, it is the gateway for Didao to defend Liangzhou. I want to recommend Ma Yong, the chief official of Longxi. He is quite brave and can be ordered to guard it."
Feng Yong heard that Chen Shi wanted to personally guard Didao, and he admired this Han general who, although not very talented, was dedicated to his duties.
"Prefect Chen personally guards Di Dao, so I have no worries. As for that Ma Yong, is he the one who assisted You Chu in forcing General Wei back?"
Chen Shi quickly replied: "Returning to the throne, that's right. He is originally from Xiangwu, Longxi. After knowing the righteousness and returning to the Han Dynasty, he is dedicated to his work, so I am willing to recommend him."
Feng Yong nodded, "Since Governor Chen said that, I think he must have no problem. What about Daxia County?"
“To choose the garrison of Daxia County, I would like to borrow someone from the prince.”
"who?"
