Chapter 770 Talking about gods at night
“There is good news in the palace, what contribution can I make?”
Feng Yong quickly clarified, "This is the emperor's credit and has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Xingyi just thought that he didn't want to show off and didn't think much about it. He nodded immediately:
“It doesn’t matter, you don’t lack that credit anyway.”
After all, this kind of merit will only be regarded as a blessing by others, and it will give you a bad reputation.
However, when this topic was brought up, Feng Yong started to murmur in his heart.
Although I don’t remember when Zhang Xingcai died in history, it is certain that he died young.
After all, any Three Kingdoms enthusiast with a little curiosity should know that Adou’s two queens are sisters of the Zhang family.
If I remember correctly, neither sister had any children in original history...
Thinking of this, Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xingyi with a rather searching look in his eyes.
Zhang Xingyi misunderstood what he meant, and there was a hint of autumn in his eyes, which was quite gentle.
Unexpectedly, the man's next sentence was: "It's already very late, I should go."
As he spoke, he stood up.
Zhang Xingyi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly held him down, "Don't be busy, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you anxious?"
“What else?”
“Didn’t I just say that? Someone from Liangzhou is coming.”
“What kind of thing is this? Just follow the regulations.”
In response to how the forces of Liangzhou are dealt with, the Captain Palace of Lao Lao has long been planned.
At present, the Han Dynasty regards the recovery of Guanzhong as its top priority, so it has no plans to send troops to Liangzhou in the past two years.
After all, Liangzhou is not just a Qiang and Hu rebellion.
Behind rebellions, there are often shadows of local powerful people.
In fact, the lives of most Hu people in Liangzhou are often not easy.
They were oppressed by the powerful and in many cases had to rebel in order to survive.
Sometimes, in order to achieve certain goals, local powerful people will even encourage the Hu people to rebel.
Not to mention, the relationship between the local powerful people in Liangzhou is also intricate.
If the Han Dynasty conquers Liangzhou first, it will take at least three to four years to straighten out these relationships.
This is still under the circumstances where Feng Yong has taken the initiative.
If like the Later Han Dynasty, it is possible to be stuck in the quagmire of the Liangzhou Rebellion, let alone ten or eight years.
Time is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that governing Liangzhou will involve a lot of human, material and financial resources from the Han Dynasty.
In addition, the east side is still under tremendous pressure from Cao Wei.
This is equivalent to a two-front battle.
A two-front war is unavoidable.
So in view of the complicated situation in Liangzhou, a series of plans were made to protect the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion.
There is penetration, co-optation, economic control, etc.
Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, these four counties are the most elite core areas of Liangzhou.
At the same time, it is also an area where the relationship between local powerful powers is the most complicated.
As I said before, if you don’t fully have the right to interpret knowledge and intellectual resources, you still have to compromise when it’s time to compromise.
Now Feng Yong is using the four counties of Liangzhou to make porridge, whether it is a rebellion by the Hu people or a local strongman supporting his troops to support himself.
The chaos is all Cao Wei's territory.
When they have had enough chaos and the time is ripe, it will be much more convenient for the big man to free up his hands to govern.
If it is not destroyed, it cannot be established. Only when it is destroyed and then established can it be managed more conveniently.
So after the battle of Jincheng, Feng Junhou was already studying the opponents in Guanzhong.
As for Liangzhou’s enemies, as long as they don’t come out to cause trouble, that’s fine.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingyi couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw his attitude.
"How long has it been since you read the official documents from the house? Are you just holding the baby in the backyard every day?"
How could Feng Junhou admit it?
“Nonsense, I watch it every day!”
Zhang Xingyi sneered: "Really? Then let me ask you, who is coming from Liangzhou?"
Feng Junhou was shocked, who came from Liangzhou? I hold my baby and play with it every day these days. How could I know?
It can’t be Xu Miao, right?
He said stiffly: "I don't care who comes here. Anyway, we have already made regulations for Liangzhou. We just need to wait for them slowly."
Zhang Xingyi couldn't help but slap him in the face and raised her voice:
"You still don't admit that you haven't read the official documents these days. The Zhang family sent Zhang over. Don't you care?"
After hearing this, Feng Yong blurted out and asked:
“Is that the defeated general who was tricked by me? He is quite courageous!”
Of the four counties in Liangzhou, Dunhuang is the westernmost and controls the end of the Hexi Corridor.
At the same time, it also controls the entrance and exit of the Western Region.
Zhang Gong of Dunhuang was famous in the Western Regions.
If you want to control Liangzhou and even the Western Regions as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost, the Dunhuang Zhang family is indispensable.
The Zhang family in Dunhuang is the key focus of the Qiang Protector's Office, and is also the target of the Protector's and Qiang's Office's future plans to win over and transform them.
So Feng Yongyong didn’t know that the Zhang family sent someone here, which was indeed a bit derelict in his duty.
Feng Junhou finally realized that he was wrong and quickly covered it up:
“Oh, I forgot, I seemed to have seen it a few days ago.”
Zhang Xingyi said bitterly: "Just be tough."
Feng Junhou was unmoved when his true identity was revealed.
Anyway, the Zhang family's young lady is not an outsider, so she is not afraid of embarrassment.
“What does the Zhang family want to do? Have they said it?”
Feng Yong asked.
"It was through Li Jiadi in Longxi. I just told Zhang that he wanted to go to Longyou to visit relatives and friends. I hope we can give him permission, but he didn't say anything else."
The relationship between aristocratic families is inherently complicated, and there are countless in-laws, both overt and covert.
Coupled with the legacy of ancient gentlemen left over from the pre-Qin Dynasty, it is also common for hostile parties to talk about etiquette.
There is still correspondence between Zhuge Laoyao and Chen Qun, Sima Yi and other important ministers of the Wei State. This is not a secret.
Of course, what goes back and forth comes back, but on the battlefield, those who deserve to be killed must still be killed.
Just like in history, the old demon Zhuge was forced to act anxiously and wanted Sima Yi to pretend to be a cute girl.
And Sima Yi also found out through the messengers that the old demon Zhuge was not going to live long.
So this kind of communication is actually a secret confrontation.
It is not surprising that the Zhang family in Dunhuang can send messages through the Li family in Longyou.
"It doesn't matter if we let them go." Feng Yong said with some surprise, "But the Zhang family is so blatant, aren't they afraid?"
“So I’m going to say that you haven’t dealt with official business at all these days!”
Zhang Xingyi was indignant at someone's laziness, "After the uncles and nephews of the Zhang family lost Jincheng, you accused them of collaborating with the enemy."
"Although Xu Miao didn't condemn them, they definitely won't be able to serve as officials. Now Zhang is just a scholar. What is he afraid of?"
Hearing this, Feng Yong thought thoughtfully: "The Zhang family may not be demonstrating against Xu Miao."
“You don’t care who they are, wouldn’t the more chaos in Liangzhou be more beneficial to us?”
"so what?"
Feng Yong asked.
“So I’m just asking for your opinion now, right?”
Zhang Xingyi came over and gritted his teeth and said, "You are a guard of the Qiang, and you are also a far-sighted ghost king!"
Ah! If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles.
“If you dare to talk about ghosts at night, are you not afraid that ghosts will come to you?” Feng Yong threatened.
Han people are more respectful to ghosts and gods. Zhang Xingyi's expression suddenly changed and he subconsciously looked outside the tent.
Feng Yong smiled proudly, "Boy, I am a powerful ghost king, but I can't cure you?"
“Okay, it’s getting late, you go to bed first.”
It was too hot, and the temperature inside the gauze tent was a little too high. Feng Yong couldn't sit still, so he coughed and said:
“Since the Zhang family sent people here, it means they intend to contact us.”
"If they want to imitate the Li family of Longxi, you can use the resources of the Xinghan Society appropriately, and I will do it."
As he spoke, he made a gesture to stay.
“Why are you panicking?”
Zhang Xingyi had a look of fear on his face. He didn't know if he had been frightened just now, so he quickly grabbed him and refused to let him go.
“What else?”
“There are many things going on.”
Zhang Xingyi had to find something to say when he had nothing to say, "You haven't dealt with the affairs of the house for so long, we need to have a good talk."
“Just tell me if you have something to say.” Feng Yong tried to move his arm, “It hurts when you grab me like this.”
“You are a general after all.” Zhang Xingyi said disdainfully, “Others are wounded by swords and bullets, but you are still afraid that I will scratch you!”
"Are you planning to discuss whether I am a general? Or do you really have something to tell me?"
Feng Junhou is thick-skinned and doesn't care about Zhang Xiaoniang's sarcasm.
“Do you remember what we talked about last time about the division of power between Sun Quan and the prince?”
Zhang Xingyi’s eyes were shining brightly.
“Remember, what’s the matter?”
The weather seems to be a little too hot and it looks like it might rain.
“Of course I remember, what’s the matter?”
When Feng Yong said this, a possibility suddenly occurred to him:
“Then there won’t really be any problems between Sun Quan and the prince, right?”
Did this grandson Shiwan start to become mediocre as soon as he became emperor?
“The prince is fine for the time being, but Sun Quan is weird.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he quickly asked, "What's the problem with Sun Quan?"
“Today there is news from Soochow. Sun Quan has formed a naval force and wants to go to the sea to find Yizhou and Danzhou.”
Even though Feng Junhou was known as a far-sighted person, he still felt that he couldn't keep up with Sun Shiwan's thinking.
When he had the chance to take Hefei, he didn't want to take it. Instead, he went to sneak attack Jingzhou.
When Hefei's defenses were tight, he continued to kill people.
It was agreed that Han and Wu would form an alliance to attack Cao Wei together. Now the Han Dynasty and the west are attracting the main force of Cao Wei.
You set up a naval division in the east, and instead of attacking Jianghuai, you told me that you would go to the sea to find islands?
This is not because the brain circuit is different from ordinary people, what is it?
“The courtiers of the state of Wu just watched Sun Quan’s mischief?”
I know where the island is. As long as the world is unified, I can help you find as many islands as you want.
But if you look for it now, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
“The whole court of Wu State tried to persuade him, but Sun Quan refused to listen.”
Zhang Xingyi replied.
This is drifting, it's drifting very hard.
“Why would Sun Quan go to the island if he had nothing to do?”
Feng Yong wondered.
“He said he wanted to plunder the people to supplement the state of Wu.”
The more Feng Yong listened, the more ridiculous he felt:
“Wu State’s Shanyue has always been in rebellion. If you want to replenish the population, wouldn’t it be better to attack Shanyue? Do you have to go to the sea to find it?”
And isn’t Wu Guo very skilled at this skill?
Sun Quan was so excited that he lost his memory after becoming emperor?
This is not the Age of Discovery. No matter how powerful Wu's ships are, they can only use the monsoon winds to travel at sea.
If you are not careful, the fleet will never come back, that is normal.
Now you tell me that you are going to the sea to capture the people of the islands to supplement the Kingdom of Wu?
Sun Shiwan, you are planning to rub everyone’s IQ on the ground!
Feng Yong is puzzled...the explanation.
He looked at Zhang Xingyi.
“Six Niang, what do you think is weird about this?”
Feng Yong asked tentatively.
“Alang also thinks that Sun Quan didn’t send people to the sea to find overseas people?”
Zhang Xingyi asked in return.
“It’s not enough to sacrifice the near for the far. What’s more, the boat master is still a sharp weapon of the state of Wu. To seek trivial benefits at the risk of damaging the country’s sharp weapon, even a mediocre person knows that it cannot be done.”
Feng Yong said with certainty, “I don’t believe it’s not weird.”
Sun Shiwan’s brain circuit is not normal, but he should still have this kind of IQ...right?
Zhang Xingyi's eyes became increasingly bright, as if she was very excited to secretly discuss this matter with Feng Yong.
It is like a tacit understanding between two people.
“Alang also feels something is wrong?”
"I am not as thoughtful as you on this kind of matter. Please tell me what you think and give me a hint."
Feng Yong retreated to the couch again and sat cross-legged opposite Zhang Xingyi, seemingly intending to discuss it with her.
“Alang, do you still remember that Zhang Wen?”
“Of course I remember, he even sent someone to deliver a letter during the Chinese New Year.”
The Zhang family is the interest representative of the Xinghan Society in Soochow. The raw sugar from Soochow is basically transferred to Shu through the Zhang family's connections.
How could Feng Yong not remember?
“Last year when Sun Quan became emperor, he granted a general amnesty to the whole country. Zhang Wen’s younger brother Zhang Bai was also pardoned.”
Zhang Yi first said something that seemed unrelated.
“This is a good thing.”
Feng Yong nodded.
“But there is a person who is now exiled to Jiaozhou.”
"who?"
Feng Yong became even more confused after hearing Zhang Xingyi’s words.
“Yu Fan, the original cavalry captain of Soochow.”
When Feng Yong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this guy exiled again?"
Feng Yong had connections with the Zhang family in Soochow, and the economic exchanges between the Han Dynasty and Soochow were getting closer and closer.
So it is relatively easy to collect some information about Soochow figures.
This Yu Fan's official position is not high, but his reputation is not small.
The reason why Feng Yong can remember him is because he acted arrogantly and spoke unabashedly. He was a famous talker in Soochow.
This guy, when Yu Jin surrendered to Soochow, he scolded Yu Jin. Not only did he whip him, he even persuaded Sun Quan to kill him in front of Yu Jin.
He scolded Mi Fang when she presented herself to the city.
I met Mi Fang while traveling on a boat. I scolded Mi Fang so much that she closed the boat window and did not dare to see anyone, so she quickly got out of the way.
Hitchhiking later, he passed by the gate of Mi Fang's military camp. In order to avoid him, Mi Fang had the camp gate closed.
Unexpectedly, Yu Fan’s car couldn’t pass, so he started to curse again:
“You leave the window open when it’s time to close it, and you close it when it’s time to open the door. Is this what humans do?”
Sun Quan held a celebration banquet after becoming the queen, and he personally got up to drink wine. He dared to lie on the ground and pretend to be drunk, not giving Sun Quan face.
Sun Quan exiled him more than once, but every time he came back after being pardoned, he never learned his lesson.
His various actions not only did not damage his reputation, but even made it bigger.
In order to win people's hearts, Cao Pi often set up empty seats for him.
As for Feng Yong, he didn’t need to win people’s hearts. When he heard about Yu Fan, especially when he heard about Yu Fan scolding Mi Fang, he burst out laughing.
Because what Mi Fang did was indeed not a human matter.
“Alang, guess who he scolded this time?”
Zhang Xingyi also asked with a smile on his face.
“Isn’t it Sun Quan?”
“Not only did he scold Sun Quan, but he also scolded Zhang Zhao.”
Zhang Xingyi couldn't help laughing, "Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao were talking about gods, and Yu Fan pointed at them and scolded them."
“The gods they mentioned are actually dead people, and there are no gods in the world at all.”
“Sun Quan finally became so angry that he exiled him to Jiaozhou.”
Feng Yong couldn't help but laugh.
One was the emperor of Wu State, and the other was the most senior minister. They were just pointed at their noses and scolded by Yu Fan.
No one else would be able to show off his face.
Oh, no, if it were the fat guy A Dou, the result would definitely be different.
After all, the little fat guy is often spitted on by Dong Yun, so he should be used to it.
The two of them whispered and laughed for a while.
Finally, Feng Yong finally remembered the business: "What does it have to do with Yu Fan being exiled to Jiaozhou and Sun Quan sending people to the sea?"
Zhang Xingyi smiled meaningfully: "Why don't Alang understand? Yu Fan was exiled to Jiaozhou because of the gods."
Feng Yong’s heart skipped a beat.
A fairy? !
“As far as I know, in the fourth year of Jianxing’s reign, Qin Lun, a member of the Qin Dynasty, came to Wu. He was received by Sun Quan many times, and he often asked about overseas affairs.”
Speaking of this, an inexplicable light appeared in Zhang Xingyi's eyes, "According to what the Da Qin Jia man said, Sun Quan asked him several times if he had ever seen fairy mountains on the sea."
Feng Yong was not very clear about this matter: "How did Si Niang know this?"
"This is not a secret matter. At that time, the people of Wu were still treating him as a distant man, and they were publicizing Sun Quan's virtues."
"That Da Qin man is still in Jianye. He is a Yi man and has no knowledge. Give him some brown sugar and he will tell you everything."
Zhang Xingyi said nonchalantly.
It is normal to talk with overseas people about local folk customs and the strange people and strange things you have seen during your travels.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingyi could figure out what Sun Quan was thinking from these clues.
This woman is amazing!
“An emperor’s stupidity often begins with seeking immortality and asking questions!”
Feng Yong murmured.
Once you have the highest power in the world, you start to want to live forever. The human heart is so dissatisfied.
After listening to Feng Yong’s words, Zhang Xingyi finally took his head away from Feng Yong’s shoulders, sat up straight, looked up at the tent roof, and said slowly:
"If Sun Quan really went to find the Immortal Mountain under the pretext of plundering the sea people and pretending to be the people of Wu State, even if he is not stupid now, he is not far away from being stupid."
As she spoke, her voice became deeper and deeper, "He wants to be the emperor forever, so what should the prince do?"
Feng Junhou rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea.
I could only hear him read:
“Haike talks about Yingzhou, the misty waves are dim and it’s hard to find a letter. The people in Yue talk about Tianmu, the clouds are bright and fading, or you can see them...”
Zhang Xingyi was stunned immediately.
Zhang Xingyi suddenly felt that those who praised Cao Zijian for writing a poem in seven steps were really ignorant!
“There is a master in my school, whose surname is Li.”
Feng Yong forcefully explained the meaning of the article, "Li Gong's literary talent is unparalleled in the world. He is a real banished immortal. He and Xie Gong in the article are close friends."
Shenchao is also a communicator, so it is not wrong.
“And Mr. Xie has seen the real fairy mountain. This article was written when Li Gong and Xie Gong were talking about the fairy mountain.”
Zhang Xingyi's eyes were suddenly brighter than the candlelight outside the gauze tent.
“Is there really a fairy mountain in this world!?”
Feng Yong looked at her sideways: "I am from the Immortal Mountain. Do you want to pay my respects?"
“Go!” Zhang Xingyi pushed Feng Yong and smiled sheepishly.
She knew that she had lost her composure just now.
Feng Yong chuckled: "What do you think Sun Quan would think if I gave this article to him?"
Zhang Xingyi was stunned after hearing Feng Yong's words.
After a long time, he murmured: "You really have a vicious mind. You actually use such a peerless article to make calculations. You are simply a scumbag!"
