Chapter 827 A real man
Sima Yi was driven out of Hanzhong, which meant that the Han Dynasty not only did not lose an inch of territory in this battle, but instead expanded its borders.
Three years later, the Han Dynasty once again won a great victory over Cao Cao.
This time, the Han Dynasty was much more confident than last time, and the court actually made an exception and banned alcohol for a month.
This is the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne, and it can even be said to be the first time since the founding of Ji Han.
Adou held a banquet in the palace for all the ministers, and the king and his ministers celebrated together.
If Dongfeng Express hadn't been prepared a long time ago and urgently brought a batch of wine from Nanzhong and Jincheng in advance, there wouldn't even be a few jars of wine for this banquet.
After the banquet, the court discussed merits and rewards, and naturally the highest reward was given by the Protector Qiang Xiaowei Mansion.
The officers and men of the Xiaowei Mansion have different rewards.
Especially Zhao Guang, not only did he get his wish and regain the title of General, he was even more majestic than the one he had lost before: General Qiaoqi.
Moreover, the inner marquis of the pass must be sealed off.
When this reward was announced, not to mention others, even Feng Yong felt that it was a bit excessive.
It is understandable to be granted the title of General, but for the Marquis of Jin Guan Nei, it is suspected that the reward will be excessive.
"You are now an important minister in the court and a famous general in the world. Not to mention, who knows that Zhao Erlang listens to you the most?"
“This is an excessive reward or not, as long as you mention it, who dares not to take it seriously?”
The banquet lasted for several days, and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was regarded as one of the protagonists of the banquet.
So I drank a lot of wine.
At this time, he had a tired look on his face, leaning on the back of the Taishi chair, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Hearing Feng Yong’s question, he didn’t bother to open his eyes and look at him, and said angrily.
“Ah, I brought it up? It’s not very good, is it?”
Feng Yong hesitated and said, "Besides, my own reward hasn't come yet..."
The rewards of all the soldiers have been decided, but there is no news yet about Feng Yong.
But everyone knew in their hearts that this time, Feng Junhou’s contribution was indeed quite great.
The Prime Minister has just returned to Nanzheng not long ago, and since he has no free time these days, he may not have figured out how to reward Feng Junhou.
Feng Junhou thought to himself, if I suggest that Zhao Guang's reward is too heavy, what will happen if the reward I haven't received is also chopped with a knife?
When the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty heard what Feng Junhou said, he finally opened his eyes and looked at him angrily:
"So you can't say it well if you have something to say? Do you have to use Zhao Erlang as a monster?"
Feng Junhou was able to see through his thoughts by the prime minister, and he couldn't help but sarcastic:
“Aren’t I worried about the Longyou side? If this reward comes one day earlier, I can go back one day earlier. I heard that General Zhao is not in good health. He suffered from two colds last winter..."
Although it is an excuse, it is true that Feng Yong is worried about Zhao Yun's health.
When you are old and weak, you are more likely to get sick.
Mr. Zhao has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his physical condition should be considered good.
Plus, as a general, the living conditions are not bad.
But under such circumstances, he still got wind and cold, which only shows that his body has begun to weaken.
In this battle between Han and Wei, if you are the governor of Longyou, after learning about the great victory at Xiaoguan and the overall situation in Xiping has been decided.
They must have taken advantage of his illness to kill him, and took Wang Ping and Liu Yin across Longshan to visit Qi County.
Take advantage if there is any advantage, but if there is no advantage, scare the remaining defeated generals who ran back from Xiaoguan.
What if Cao Zhen is frightened and abandons the city and flees?
Although the probability is low, there is still a little bit of hope.
Who can tell clearly what happened on the battlefield?
However, due to physical reasons, Zhao Yun could only sit and guard Jicheng, focusing on stability.
"You also know that Zilong is not in good health?" Zhuge Liang mentioned this, with some worry on his face, "Then you still say that the reward for Erlang Zhao is too high?"
Feng Yong was startled, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
“The prime minister means…”
Zhuge Liang didn’t answer, but asked another question:
"How is it going in the four counties of Liangzhou? You have been planning it for so long, can you finish it?"
"That's almost it," Feng Yong nodded, "but after the battle at Xiaoguan, the soldiers of Xiaoguan Mansion suffered a lot of casualties. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of Liangzhou for a while."
“Longyou doesn’t only have a school captain’s mansion, but also a governor’s mansion?”
Zhuge Liang said "tsk", "Besides, your Xiaowei's Mansion has been in so much limelight this time, so let's leave the credit for the recapture of Liangzhou to the Governor's Mansion."
Logically speaking, the Xiaowei Mansion is mainly responsible for running Liangzhou, while the Dudu Mansion can move eastward to Guanzhong at any time.
Now by some mistake, Feng Yongxian defeated the Wei army in Guanzhong.
After confirming that the Wei army in Guanzhong was no longer able to threaten Longyou, Liangzhou was like the meat being boiled in the pot, and he could use his chopsticks whenever he wanted.
Obviously, the Han Prime Minister was very anxious and wanted to eat it quickly.
"Oh, that doesn't matter to me." Feng Yong nodded and said generously, "Anyway, we are all doing our best for the big man."
Hour Qiang Xiaowei Mansion did not have one to two years to restore its peak combat strength, and there was no spare capacity to send troops to Liangzhou.
So if the Han Dynasty really wants to have ideas about Liangzhou this year, the Longyou Governor's Mansion is indeed the best choice.
“We will have to ask your Jingxiaowei Mansion for help when the time comes. After all, the arrangements in Liangzhou are all done by the Jingxiaowei Mansion.”
Zhuge Liang reminded.
"No problem. Although the officers and soldiers of Xiaowei Mansion cannot go out to fight now, it is still possible to send some manpower."
The icing on the cake, there is no harm in doing more.
Zhuge Liang nodded in approval: "It seems to be more organized than before. In this case, you can rest assured that Liangzhou is in your hands."
Hearing the Prime Minister's praise, Feng Junhou laughed, and then suddenly felt something was wrong: "Liangzhou?"
"Yes, Liangzhou." Zhuge Liang sighed, "After Liangzhou returns to the Han Dynasty, there must be a governor, right? Zilong is not in good health and will return to Hanzhong to recuperate."
“There is no one else but you who is most suitable for this position.”
So this battle to regain Liangzhou is most likely to be a perfect ending for Mr. Zhao?
Feng Yong understood it instantly.
Zhao Yun was about to take a back seat and was ready to give up his position, so the reward given to Zhao Guang was partly compensatory.
However, Feng Yong heard the deeper meaning of the Prime Minister's words. Even though he had been through the storm for a long time, he was still shocked and his heart was pounding.
“Prime Minister, I remember, didn’t Liangzhou governor already have one?”
If I remember correctly, Wei Laofu was the governor of Liangzhou from afar.
"Isn't it true that I, a big man, from Wu just made an alliance? There are so many states in the world, and Yongzhou merges with Jizhou. I will give him another one when the time comes."
Zhuge Liang said calmly.
Can real collar and remote collar be the same thing?
“What about General Wu?”
The General Wu mentioned by Feng Yong is Wu Yi.
After the Battle of Longyou, in Feng Yong's vision, there were three candidates for the governor of Longyou.
One is Zhao Yun, one is Wei Yan, and the other is Wu Yi.
No matter how you look at it, Wu Yi is more likely than himself.
After all, he has the bonus of being a relative, and he is one of several representatives of the Dongzhou faction. His qualifications are not comparable to those of Feng Yong and other underachievers.
"General Wu is indeed a suitable candidate." Zhuge Liang nodded, "It's just that the emperor and the empress are all in Hanzhong now, and there must always be a trustworthy person watching over Jincheng."
“Oh, that’s true.”
Feng Yong remembered that Li Ping was in charge of various matters in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jincheng as the Central Protector, and thought that it was impossible for him to be involved in military power again.
So Wu Yi led the army to defend Jincheng, and he really couldn't do without it.
They were two people in private, and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was determined to cultivate Feng Yong, so he spoke more clearly.
"What's more, Zhang Junsi, who originally stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jincheng, died of illness two months ago. Jiang Gongyan has just taken over as the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is afraid that he will not be able to suppress Li Zhengfang, so General Wu cannot leave Jincheng. .”
Zhang Junsi is Zhang Yi, the chief historian of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jincheng.
After the Prime Minister entered Hanzhong, he was responsible for the government affairs of the Prime Minister's Office, and he was highly valued by the Prime Minister.
“Is Zhang Changshi gone?”
Feng Yong was shocked when he heard the news.
He was not familiar with Zhang Yi, and in the past few months, his attention had been on Cao Cao.
In addition, the emperor and empress are now in Hanzhong, and Jincheng is in the rear area, and there has been nothing going on, so they pay little attention to it.
"Three years ago, Zhang Junsi came to Hanzhong to meet me. He told me that he took up the post of Prime Minister and Chief Historian. He received guests day and night, could not rest, and was often tired and wanted to die."
Zhuge Liang had a sad look on his face, "I only thought he was joking at the time, but I never thought that he was actually going to get sick from overwork..."
"Li De'ang (Li Hui) was still open-minded. When he noticed something was wrong with his health, he resigned from his position as the governor and went to Hanzhong to concentrate on his recovery."
“I passed by Nanxiang a few days ago and saw that he looked much better than before.”
When Zhuge Liang talked about these veterans, he couldn't stop talking about it:
"As soon as Zhang Junsi left, I remembered that Zilong also wrote a letter, saying that his body was not as good as before."
"So I thought about letting him learn from Li De'ang and go to Nanxiang to recuperate."
When Feng Yong heard this, his heart first moved, and then his face became happy again:
“If General Zhao is willing to go to Nanxiang to recuperate, I will be waiting for you!”
When the time comes to make the old man happy, let him go to the martial arts hall to talk about the past and bring out some genuine goods, which will be enough for the students to learn from the military.
How could Zhuge Liang not know what Feng Yong was up to?
He passed through Nanxiang a few days ago and went to see Li Hui to find out what he was doing now.
“Zilong went there to recuperate, not to teach you students.”
"I understand, I understand," Feng Yong nodded, "It's just that this man is old and always likes to recall the past. When the time comes, I will send a few students to serve the old general and talk to him. Is that okay?"
“It depends on whether he is willing to say it.”
Why don’t you want to do this?
Feng Yongyong thought nonchalantly, it’s not like I asked him to teach my students the Zhao family’s marksmanship.
Besides, haven’t I taught Zhao Guang enough?
I just want the old man to talk about the past. Is there anything I can’t say?
The first person in the Han army, thinking about it makes people excited.
"Forget it, this is a matter between you and Zilong, I won't say more, let's get back to business."
Zhuge Liang knocked on the table.
“Business? What business?”
Feng Junhou was now thinking about how to arrange General Zhao, so he replied casually.
This made the Han Prime Minister look at him angrily.
"Oh, oh, yes, I forgot, it's business. This Liangzhou governor..."
Feng Junhou quickly made amends, and then thought about it, and it seemed that there was really no other suitable candidate.
But he still had one last concern: "Prime Minister, what I'm afraid of is that I'm too young..."
“What are you afraid of? What’s talked about in the army is military merit, not who is older!”
Zhuge Liang criticized Feng Junhou’s backward ideas:
“When Emperor Gaozu built a high platform to worship the Marquis of Huaiyin as a general, the Marquis of Huaiyin was only twenty-six.”
"You can't compare to the Marquis of Huaiyin. You can't be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can you not even be the governor?"
Probably because he felt that this guy was being pushy, the Prime Minister showed an impatient look: "If you really feel that you can't do it yourself, then I won't force you to do it. Just ask someone else..."
Having said all this, how could Feng Junhou be unreasonable?
He nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I can do it, I can do it!"
“Really do it? Don’t you force it?”
“Don’t force it, don’t force it!”
Feng Yong quickly shook his head again.
The Han Dynasty gathered together in two states, and the prime minister took charge of Yizhou as a pastor. Now it is self-evident what it means to make himself the governor of Liangzhou.
“This Liangzhou governor is no different than other places. It is a place where troops are deployed. You must be given a title. The contribution you have made this time is already great enough. Why not get General Pingxi..."
I heard the prime minister speak again.
besides?
Feng Junhou swayed, and the surprise hit him so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
Zhao Guang’s Cavalry General sounds awesome, but it’s just an ordinary general.
But General Pingxi is different. He may not sound so awesome, but he is a general with a heavy title and a high rank!
I saw Feng Turtle grinning stupidly, and his saliva was about to flow out.
Damn it, in this future life, why would I have to carry a bare board and add a gold star on my shoulders?
No, I will ask Li Mu to make a military uniform when I get back!
"Being the governor of Liangzhou and becoming the general of Pingxi, what about this title..."
When the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty said this, he paused and looked at Feng Junhou again.
Is there any more?
Feng Junhou wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and his eyes widened.
“I will not move for the time being.”
Okay, if you don’t move, don’t move.
It's good to be a pavilion...
“Although the title will not be changed for the time being, you can have three concubines in your house..."
The Prime Minister made too many turns in his words today, and Feng Junhou was caught off guard and coughed suddenly.
"I know you love the wives and concubines in your house, but you can't be so excited, right?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Junhou's useless look with contempt in his eyes.
What do I call excitement?
That’s not right either, yes, I am indeed very excited.
But my excitement is different from the excitement you think!
If Guan Ji knew that the military merit she had earned through hard work had finally made her a concubine in the house easier...
It’s not like I’m cheapening my concubine, to be precise, I’m making myself cheaper...
That’s the thing anyway.
I wonder if the Feng family’s wife will have the idea of setting fire to the Feng mansion?
After all, concubines are different from ordinary wives and concubines.
The highest-level concubines were sisters who married together, with the elder sister as the wife and the younger sister as the concubine.
The middle ones are married to sisters from the same clan, and the lowest ones are married to maids.
The status of a concubine is much higher than that of a concubine. She has a formal status and can attend formal banquets, etc.
To put it bluntly, a concubine is a backup for the main wife.
In case something happens to the main wife, the concubine is the legal candidate for the main wife.
This system has been very popular among the aristocracy from the Warring States Period to the present.
Mi Yue, who is famous in history, initially married into the Qin Kingdom as a concubine with her sister.
If this time, the imperial court allows Feng Mansion to promote concubines, it will be regarded as a formal and public recognition of the status of his two concubines.
But it’s no wonder.
Not to mention Li Mu, just by suppressing food prices in recent years and transporting various materials to the front, his contribution is enough to compare with military merit.
As for Amei, there are medical manuals in the medical school, spinning wheels, ballistas, catapults, etc.
What is one thing that she does not have credit for?
But there are three positions...
Feng Junhou suddenly thought for a moment.
"And your eldest son, you can make him a prince first..."
This is probably to seal his wife's yinzi, but Feng Junhou no longer cares, because he has already known this news in advance from Adou.
Now he is worried about how to explain to Guan Ji when he goes back: There are only two concubines in Feng Mansion, why did the court give three places?
It can’t be Zhang Xiaosi’s, right?
Is Zhang Xiaosi really willing to be a concubine?
As he thought about it, he himself became confused.
The Prime Minister saw that the man suddenly became absent-minded and seemed not to have listened to what he said. He was too lazy to say anything anymore and waved his hand to drive him out.
Unexpectedly, when Feng Yong walked to the door, the prime minister suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, Liu Liang has done a great job in this war. I wanted to transfer him back to Hanzhong, but he said that he should continue to stay on the West Sea as a matter of state."
"Let the grudge between you and him go away, and you can't embarrass him again in the future."
When Feng Junhou heard the Prime Minister mention Liu Liang, he also had a strange look on his face:
“Well, Liu Zhizhang is indeed a man. Otherwise, what if the court’s favor of promoting concubines should be given to him?”
“Come here, I’ll show you something…”
How could Feng Junhou dare to stay longer? He ran away before the prime minister gave him his blessing.
Running outside, he thought of Liu Liang again. Feng Junhou couldn't help but sighed again: "Who said Liu Liang is not a husband?"
Liu Liang is the son of Liu Yan, and he previously wanted to compete with Feng Junhou for the Zhang family's young lady.
Later, he was semi-exiled to Nanzhong to feed mosquitoes.
After the Battle of Longyou, Liu Yan made a PY deal with the prime minister, and finally brought Liu Liang to Longyou.
Unexpectedly, Feng Junhou still lingered on and became a Qiang-protecting captain in Longyou.
Fortunately, General Zhao also provided guarantee for his father's PY transaction, and Feng Junhou showed his attitude and canceled all the grudges.
He probably suffered a lot in Nanzhong and knew that he was making progress. He was actually willing to go to Xiping County, which had just been pacified, to deal with the barbarian tribes.
While civilizing the Hu people, he also traded with the Hu people and sent cattle, sheep, horses and other items to Longyou.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
Most importantly, in the past few months, when the news that Feng Yong was cut off by Cao Zhen was flying all over the sky, and Longyou's people were panicked, this Liu manager married five concubines in just one month.
Having multiple wives and concubines is not uncommon in this era.
What is strange is that this man from the Liu family, who originally had a bright future, married all women from the Hu family!
The Huangshui side of Xiping was a place where barbarian rebellions frequently occurred.
But after Liu Hanzi married five women from a large Hu tribe in the Huangshui Valley, the Wei people wanted to imitate what happened in the old year and mobilized the Hu tribes in the Huangshui Valley to revolt. However, the Hu people chopped off the head of the envoy:
“You are causing trouble to your mother! How many people can I send with the Han people? How can I make trouble with you Wei people?”
In the past, there was Feng Junhou who gave generously, and later there was Liu Hanzi who gave charity with his own body.
Except for those stupid people who were determined to get into trouble with the Wei people, this time the rebellion of the wealthy families did not receive much response from the barbarians.
At the end, on one side, the Han officials stood firm and waited for reinforcements, while on the other side, Liu Hun led the fine cavalry. Without any obstruction from the barbarians, they quickly entered the Huangshui River Valley and put down the rebellion.
So, who says Liu Liang is not a man?
These days, not everyone has the courage like Liu Liang to feed Hu Nu with his body.
Anyway, with the courage of Feng Junhou who was afraid of his own mother-in-law, he thought he couldn't do it.
