Chapter 836 New ideas
When King Feng Gui conquered Jincheng, he tricked Zhang's uncle and nephew who were from one of the largest families in Liangzhou. It was really hard to tell.
Xu Miao may not have known that Zhang's uncle and nephew actually fell into a big hole dug by Lao Feng.
But does he have a choice?
Failing to punish is not enough to calm people's hearts.
If the punishment is too severe, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of Liangzhou's wealthy families.
So he had no choice at all.
In fact, if that’s all it is, that’s it.
Because the most that King Feng Gui wanted to do was to trick the Zhang family's uncle and nephew, and at the same time to lay a trap between Xu Miao and the Dunhuang Zhang family, that's pretty much it.
But I can’t stand the fact that there is a female middle school Zhuge behind him.
This woman's surname is Zhang, her first name is Xingyi, and her courtesy name is Xiaosi.
It was the time when the Ghost Queen, ahem, wrong, it was around the time when the Feng family's wife gave birth and Zhang Xingyi officially took over the internal affairs of the Xiaowei Mansion.
After being severely beaten by King Feng Gui, Liangzhou fully reduced its military strength, and Xu Miao was even prepared to die for the country.
Unexpectedly, the Shu people actually retreated their troops with satisfaction after taking over the surrounding areas of Liangzhou, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them.
It was indeed beyond Xu Miao's expectation.
Of course, it’s not like the Shu people didn’t take any follow-up actions.
For example, frantically dumping goods to Liangzhou, it is simply not treating Xu Miao as a human being.
But even if Xu Miao knew that the other party did not regard him as a human being, there was nothing he could do about it.
Because everyone in Liangzhou, from the wealthy to the miscellaneous, is very welcoming to things from the Shu people, they all give thumbs up and praise "Yakexi":
“This brown sugar is sweet, this wine is delicious, this wool is warm...”
There is no other way, we are a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen much of the world. How do you ask us to reject this **** sweetness?
If Xu Miao really dares to cut off the trade with Longyou, there is no chance that the Shu people have not attacked yet, and there will be righteous people in Liangzhou ready to pack food and ride horses to meet the king's army.
Since Longyou fell into the hands of the Shu people, the Liangzhou wealthy people have been wavering between two directions. In addition to wanting to get more benefits from the Shu people, there is another key:
In the eyes of the world, the Wei State is still strong enough, and no one knows whether the Wei State will regain Longyou.
Until the last moment, with the urinary temperament of aristocratic families, it is naturally impossible for them to place bets easily, or they must bet on both sides.
What's more, after Longyou fell into the hands of the Shu people, Xu Miao finally re-established the communication channel between Liangzhou and Guanzhong through various elaborate works mixed in the caravan.
With the continuous penetration and differentiation of Liangzhou by the Han Dynasty, a strange situation was created where Liangzhou and Longyou were obviously hostile, but their commercial exchanges were increasingly prosperous.
However, under this situation, the Dunhuang Zhang family, who was buried by King Feng Gui, soon exploded.
The Zhang family sent Zhang to Longyou!
This made Xu Miao, who was already wary of Liangzhou's wealthy families, even more distrustful.
There is no way. There are more and more caravans traveling between Longyou and Liangzhou. Who knows how many connections those wealthy families have with the Shu people?
It was also after Zhang Ju arrived in Longyou that Zhang Xiaosi had a heart-to-heart talk with King Feng Gui on the couch one night, "Yue people said Tian Mu" and so on.
Of course, during the heart-to-heart talk, we chatted about ghosts and gods, etc. Naturally, we also talked about Zhang Jiu's coming to Longyou, so Zhang Xiaosi got a promise from King Feng Gui that he could appropriately allocate resources.
With Zhang Xiaosi's intervention, everything will become complicated. Otherwise, why would the name Zhuge, the middle school girl, be in vain?
So the former young master of the Bald Hair Tribe, Bald Fa Khotan, originally wanted to lead his clansmen eastward to seek refuge with King Feng Gui, and imitate the Xiongnu son Liu Hun, in order to gain a good background.
Unexpectedly, he was so humiliated by King Feng Gui in the end that he ran to Liangzhou to join the Wei people in anger.
There are powerful enemies outside, and there is turmoil among the powerful families inside. However, Xu Miao, who is short of manpower, unexpectedly gets this elite barbarian cavalry. Is there any reason not to be overjoyed?
Of course, he is not stupid.
He can believe that the bald man is naturally not without reason.
That's because Hao Zhao had recruited the Bald Tribe many times during his lifetime, and even sent five thousand elite cavalry from his tribe to support Longyou during the Battle of Longyou.
Moreover, in the early years of Taihe, Qu Ying of Xiping rebelled and the rest of his troops fled to the West Sea. It was Bald-haired Khotan who beheaded the thieves and sent them to the Western Capital in person.
So in Xu Miao's eyes, the Bald Ministry has always been relatively deferential to the Wei Dynasty.
The relationship between the Bald Hair Department and the Shu people is not very good.
When the Qiang in Longxi were in chaos, the Tufa tribe went south and snatched a large number of livestock and people from the Qiang and Hu, but in the end they took advantage of Feng Yong.
I heard that even Shao Jun, who was bald and had hair, was forced to kneel in front of Feng Yong's house for a long time.
After the Wei Dynasty lost Xiping, most of the Qiang and Hu people in the Huangshui Valley turned against the Shu people. Only the Tufa tribe still guarded the West Sea and were unwilling to fully obey the orders of the Shu people.
In Xu Miao's opinion, at least the Bald Hair tribe is much more trustworthy than the local wealthy families in Liangzhou.
All this would be true if there was no relationship between King Feng Gui and the Bald Hair Department.
Not to mention Xu Miao, even within the Han Dynasty, no one knew about the early friendship between Feng Yong and the Bald Hair Division, except for Zhao Guangguan Ji and others who were the first to follow Feng Yong.
By making things difficult for Bald Hair, Feng Yong was actually trying to tame the wolf.
So Xu Miao naturally didn't know that the one he was using to guard the door was a wild wolf that had been tamed by King Feng Ghost and then deliberately released.
This wolf still has some wild nature in his heart, and might still bite people in the absence of King Feng Gui.
But as long as Feng Ghost King is still there, it will only listen to Feng Ghost King's words.
Now Ghost King Feng asked him to guard the door for others... Of course he did it obediently!
Anyway, while it can get funding from King Feng Gui, others also offer it a high salary.
Everyone likes doing one job and getting two wages.
"The news came from Xiaowei's Mansion. I heard that Liu Han...well, Liu Liang also went to Liangzhou after the beginning of spring..."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he glanced at Feng Yong strangely again and said, "That's fine. Just arrange it at your own pace."
“Spring has just begun, and the snow in Liangzhou has just melted, and the caravans have not fully resumed their travels.”
“The news of the Battle of Xiaoguan has not spread widely in Liangzhou, so we have to wait.”
"wait?"
“That’s right, just wait.”
As Zhao Yun spoke, he found a seat and sat down. He knocked on the table lightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
“In another two or three months, the news of the Battle of Xiaoguan should have spread to every corner of Liangzhou. At that time, it will be a good time to send troops.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yun sneered:
"At that time, not to mention those families who secretly have dealings with Longyou, even Xu Miao himself will be beaten to the point of losing all his spirit."
Feng Yong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Zhao Yun's words.
The old man...is really old and spicy.
Twenty thousand to one hundred thousand, and Cao Dasima, the highest-ranking member of the Wei army, personally led the army.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of Wei's military and civilians.
Characters like Cao Cao had to take a series of measures to stabilize the interior after the Battle of Chibi.
What's more, Xu Miao had just been appointed governor of Liangzhou during the Longyou War.
Not only did he not have the opportunity to be kind to Liangzhou as in the original history, he even had to take precautions against the wealthy people in Liangzhou.
When Liangzhou is completely sure of the news, and then all kinds of emotions fully ferment, it is not impossible for Liangzhou to collapse internally.
“And in more than two months, it will be the time to harvest wheat.”
Zhao Yun looked at Feng Yong and said something meaningful again.
Fuck!
Old man, looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never thought that you are not a kind person!
It was just a matter of not taking action. Once he did, he never thought of giving Xu Miao a chance.
After discussing the matter with Zhao Yun and arranging the students who had eaten and drank well outside, Feng Yong returned to his courtyard in Jicheng. The sky was already darkening.
Under the dim light coming from the yard, a woman was standing at the gate of the yard holding a lantern, waiting for her husband's return.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Feng Yong actually felt a little dazed.
Zhang Xingyi looked at Feng Yong standing not far in front of her, and for some reason, he suddenly stopped. She took a few steps forward with a lantern in hand.
The bright light of the lantern reflected the deep thought on Feng Yong's face, and Zhang Xingyi couldn't help but ask.
Feng Yong woke up from his brief memories and looked at the woman in front of him. He took the lantern from her hand, held her hand at the same time, and walked towards the yard with her:
“Nothing, I just suddenly remembered the past.”
"before?"
“Well, three years ago. At that time, you were standing at the gate of the yard like this..."
Hearing this and thinking of her previous entanglement with him, Zhang Xingyi felt surrounded by a layer of slightly sad sweetness, and she subconsciously held Feng Yong's hand.
“You were not as bold as you are now.”
“Weren’t you not grown up at that time?”
“Bah! No coward!”
"Oh, you will know when you go to bed whether you are brave or not..."
子!”
…
Even if Zhang Xiaosi is a top among girls, there are some things that rely on physical strength rather than mental strength.
She failed to escape the clutches of Ghost King Feng after all, and was finally taught a lesson.
In the end, he had to curl up and hide in the arms of King Feng Gui.
In the warmth between the two, Feng Yong mentioned something:
“Si Niang, when I was talking to the old general today, I remembered something.”
“Well, what’s the matter?”
Zhang Xingyi hummed lazily, like a well-fed piglet.
"Didn't Sun Quan send people overseas to look for immortals? That night, when you mentioned this to me, I even said that I would give him an article."
"yes!"
Zhang Xingyi, who had been drowsy from the tossing, suddenly became energetic when he mentioned this:
“I know Alang’s article by heart! It’s just that the time has not come yet and it has not been published to the world. It is really hard for people to endure.”
Zhang Xingyi said, suddenly coming back to his senses, "Did Alang change his mind and prepare to send the article to Soochow now?"
“Don’t worry, didn’t you say you’d wait until the people sent by Sun Quan have news before sending it?”
Feng Yong shook his head.
“Then why did Ah Lang mention this?”
“I think it’s been almost a year since Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi out, right? They should be back by now.”
Even under the conditions of the future life, if a person floats on the sea for a year, he will feel like he is drowning.
Let alone in this day and age.
“Okay, I’ll turn around and ask someone to pay more attention to the news from Soochow.”
Zhang Xingyi nodded.
But she said with some worry, "Alang, no matter what, Soochow is also an ally of the Han Dynasty. If the prime minister knows about this..."
"What are you afraid of?" Feng Yong shook his head, "Even if the Prime Minister knows, he will just pretend that he doesn't know."
In the past, Old Demon Zhuge might not have agreed.
However, with the attack on Liangzhou inevitable, the Han Dynasty had officially formed a pincer attack on Guanzhong, and they no longer had any worries.
Not to mention that after the Battle of Xiaoguan, the Wei army in Guanzhong could not breathe for two or three years.
To guard the middle of the pass, you must first guard the right of Longyou. If you don't have Longyou, you have nothing to do with the middle.
What's more, Guanzhong has lost even Anding County?
Feng Yong understands the principle that if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. Old demon Zhuge doesn't understand it.
As long as Dahan maintains its current upward trend, Guanzhong will be in Dahan's possession sooner or later.
At least in Feng Yong’s view, Old Demon Zhuge will definitely launch a massive battle for Guanzhong before he dies.
When Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Shu are connected, the power of Qin will be strong.
Although Wei is not the Six Kingdoms, the Han Dynasty is also stronger than Qiang Qin.
Because the Hexi Corridor was not officially established as a county until Emperor Xiaowu, and the Qin State did not have the territory of the Hexi Corridor.
After hundreds of years of development, the Hexi Corridor is no longer a barbarian land in the pre-Qin era, but a treasure land with abundant talents and abundant products.
But once we get to that point, I'm afraid that the relationship between Han and Wu will undergo subtle changes. It's always right to be prepared for a rainy day.
"Those rats in the Wu Kingdom are basically like this. They are more than conservative but not aggressive enough. It will be difficult for them to take further steps!"
With Feng Yong’s current record, he has the confidence to look down on Sun Quan.
The Wei State originally had three major strategic locations to control Han and Wu.
The first is Hefei, the second is Xiangyang, and the third is Qishan.
Now that the Han Dynasty has broken through Qishan Mountain, Hefei and Xiangyang have always been places that Wu State can only hope to reach.
Back then, Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, forcing Cao Cao to almost move the capital to avoid the edge.
Sun Quan gathered his troops in Hefei early, but he got scared later!
Even followed Cao Cao's suggestion and voluntarily gave up the most likely opportunity to capture Hefei and directly turned his head to stab Guan Yu in the back.
Later, as we all know, Sun Quan achieved what Sun Shiwan achieved in Hefei.
Needless to say Xiangyang.
The Wei State once gave Xiangyang to Sun Quan for almost nothing. Unexpectedly, Sun Shiwan could not even defend such a strategic location in Jingzhou, and was later taken back by the Wei State.
From then on, Wu State completely lost hope of progress.
"Anyway, whether this kind of thing will succeed or not is still a matter of debate. Even if it succeeds, it can't be done all at once. It has to be arranged in advance and has to be done slowly before it can be said to have a chance."
At this time, King Feng Gui spoke of Soochow with disdain:
"Didn't the Prime Minister also say that? His intelligence is not good, so he limits himself to the river to protect himself. The powerful can't cross the river, just like the Wei thieves can't cross the Han. Unless they have more than enough strength, they can't gain benefits."
"Since they have more than enough to defend, let's find a way to give them away their remaining strength, so as not to cause trouble to us in the future."
Zhang Xingyi was just constrained by the limitations of history, and more importantly, he was too tired from being tortured by King Feng Gui, so his mind couldn't turn around for a while.
Now that he heard what Feng Yong said, and his consciousness gradually recovered, his intelligence immediately caught up:
"That's true. Anyway, there are big men watching from the side. Even if Cao Cao wants to cross the river, we must agree."
At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up, "When Cao Rui is suffering from losses on our hands, if he sees an opportunity in Wu State, do you think he will take the opportunity to go south?"
Feng Ghost King suddenly shook his ghost body!
Fuck!
This little lady, it turns out that you are a wolf killer!
So you really deserve to be Zhang Xiaosi?
This perspective of thinking is indeed quite tricky!
I always thought that if the big Han really became the boss, Wei and Wu would definitely join forces to fight against the Han.
But I didn’t think of the famous saying of later generations: The boss fights with the second child, and the third child dies.
This is very possible, isn't it?
If the state of Wu really shows a flaw, it would be a way out for the state of Wei to take the opportunity to cut off the flesh of the state of Wu to mend its own sores!
Even if he can’t make up for it, Cao Rui can re-establish his prestige.
As for whether Wei has this opportunity...it may not have happened in history, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen now.
Whether there is or not depends on how the boss and the second child fight in the end, right?
Thinking of this, King Feng Gui felt excited. How could he hold it back at the moment? So I couldn't help but turn over!
