Chapter 842 Spreading the news
Actually, sleeping with a bearded girl is not a problem at all for the people in Xiaowei Mansion.
After all, from the time when Feng Huishou fed the barbarian girl Amei with his body, and then when Xu Xun was the captain of the transportation brigade, he often took advantage of the opportunity of distributing relief food to spend the night in Hu Renqushuai's camp.
Not to mention the retired soldiers in Xiaowei's mansion, many of them responded to Feng Junhou's call, took root in the border areas, and married Hu women as concubines, or even as house fillers.
There is a reason why Feng Junhou had mixed feelings in his heart when he heard that Shi Bao had gone to spend the night in the Huns' camp.
The story begins with someone marrying five Hu women as concubines in one go.
That’s right, this person is Liu Liang, Liu Hanzi, the son of Liu Yan.
Others, Liu Hun, provoked rebels, but Liu Liang provoked barbarian women.
The two of them picked the wrong people, but they had the same purpose in different ways. They both made great efforts to stabilize the Hu tribes in the Huangshui area.
Now Liu Hun has become a famous cavalry commander in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Liang is also famous because of his bravery and fearlessness.
But the reputation is just that...
Of course, this is not the point. The point is the battle at Xiaoguan. Feng Junhou's performance was really too dazzling, and the conservative elements really had nothing to complain about.
When first heard that Feng Dianzi was blocked in the east of Xiaoguan, many people thought that he would shed his skin even if he did not die, so they made the wrong bet. Afterwards, they were in a panic.
As soon as Liu Liang’s incident came out, everyone started to follow suit and suddenly discovered:
"The mansion of the captain led by Feng Wenhe likes Hu girls and likes barbarian girls. It is really unsightly to look at!"
“There is an animal-like behavior!”
“The official name of the Hu Qiang school captain’s mansion is Hu Qiang, but he is actually working with the Qiang and Hu!”
…
Just spray him anyway!
Even the wealthy Liangzhou clan, which has the most complex relationship with the Qiang and Hu, often has an attitude towards the Qiang and Hu: "I will let you rebel when I need you, and you will be like cattle and sheep when I don't need you."
That is to say, they didn't think of it later, and they played around and finally got rid of it. This is another story.
But for now, Chinese clothes and clothes are higher than those of Hu Yi. This is the perception of most people.
Whoever can keep the Chinese attire will be the emperor.
These are the original words of Zhang Gong that Zhang Jiu brought with him when he came to Longyou.
Just such a sentence made King Feng Gui feel that Zhang Gong was indeed not a simple person.
Because he has most likely seen some signs now, and his vision is not without viciousness. No wonder he can shock the Western Region.
When the Han Dynasty ruled the world, he recognized the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and when Cao Cao usurped the Han Dynasty, he also recognized the Wei State, but it would not work if there was a rebellion in Liangzhou!
Not only was he unable to do so, but he also had to suppress it severely. Even if the rebels threatened his son, he would not give in.
This is one of the reasons why Feng Yong valued the Zhang family in Dunhuang.
It was also an important reason why he believed what Zhang Gong said.
To put it bluntly, this old guy is probably a Han chariot, which is different from those powerful families who co-operated with the Hu people in rebellion.
Feng Guiwang admired Zhang Gong and thought that the two of them should have a common understanding of Chinese clothing.
Suddenly, someone complained that the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion was working with animals. Don’t you think this is disgusting?
After all, Feng Cun’s murder... well, it’s hard to explain in one word!
There is a legend in the middle of Sichuan that Feng Guiwang tamed a thousand girls at night. Now, even in the northern Hu land, he has not gotten rid of this bad habit!
Sleep wherever you go!
So after hearing that Shi Bao had slept with Qu Shuaiyan of the Xiongnu, could King Feng not have mixed feelings in his heart?
You may have had a good sleep, but I am the one who takes the blame. Do I still want my reputation?
"This Shi Bao...how did he get to know that Yan family?"
What happened to Hu Bo’s post?
Isn’t he from Beidi County?
Why did his wife come to Xiaoguan?
“Oh, this little brother asked about it specifically, I know.”
Zhao Guang quickly explained, "The Huns used to hand over a certain number of cattle, sheep and horses to the Wei thieves every year. In winter, they could spend the winter in the fortress."
“Now An Ding is in our hands, and Hu Bozi was entrusted by the Wei thieves, so he naturally didn’t dare to enter the fortress last year. I heard that many tribesmen, cattle, sheep and horses froze to death during the winter.”
“No, the weather has just warmed up, so he sent Mr. Yan over to explore the situation.”
“People call her Hu Bo Ju Zi Zhi, not Hu Bo Zi.”
Feng Yong corrected Zhao Guang’s statement.
In the Xiongnu tribe, the status of his direct wife, Yan, depends on the support of the mother clan.
Some Yan clans can even be equal to their husbands.
The Yan family in Hu Bo's official position can lead people out to investigate the situation alone. It seems that his status is not low.
Feng Yong thought for a moment and asked thoughtfully, "I remember over there in the Yin Mountains, couldn't barbarians survive the winter?"
As soon as Zhao Guang heard Feng Yong's question, his face showed excitement. He came over and said, "Brother, this is the reason why I want to go there and have a look!"
"Brother, I don't know. Now under the Yin Mountain, there are many wild animals living together, and each tribe is robbing each other of pasture."
“Not to mention that in winter, in order to grab a place to spend the winter, there are constant fights, how can you live comfortably in the fortress?”
"So I am thinking, if I can find out the situation of the barbarians under the Yin Mountain in advance, and if my brother really wants to think about them in the future, wouldn't I be able to charge forward on my brother's behalf?"
What you said makes sense, and it actually makes my heart beat.
“Who taught you this?”
Feng Junhou looked at Zhao Erlang with suspicion.
As I said before, Zhao Guang may be able to achieve this kind of overall view in the future, but it is definitely not what Zhao Sanqian can have now.
Zhao Guang was still thinking about lying, but when he saw his brother's cold eyes, he immediately gave up: "I really don't dare to hide it from my brother. Shi Bao told me what he said."
That’s pretty much it.
Thinking of the unlucky guy, Feng Yong's expression became a little strange.
Zhao Guang saw the change in Feng Yong’s expression and thought it was his brother who was dissatisfied with Shi Bao, so he quickly said:
“Brother, although Shi Bao has no moral character, is frivolous, lustful, and greedy for money, he can still be considered a talented person...”
Feng Yong clicked his tongue, "I don't know better than you what kind of person he is? Do you even need to tell me?"
After all, Shi Bao clearly revealed Cao Zhen's strategic intentions.
It is a pity that I was only testing Shi Bao's words about the war in Guanzhong within a few years, but I did not pay attention to what Shi Bao said at that time about Cao Wei's possible actions against Longyou.
Being in the middle of the situation, I couldn’t react in time.
Otherwise, if we had taken precautions early, the battle at Xiao Guan might have been better.
It just looks better, that’s all.
Because even if I could notice it, I was still in a hurry.
If you don't negotiate well with those aristocratic families, don't make arrangements with little defense, and then turn back in a hurry, the possibility of a fire in the rear is not small, and it takes time to make these arrangements.
But no matter what, these do not affect Feng Yong’s evaluation of Shi Bao: He is indeed talented.
However, talent comes with talent, and greed for money is also true.
It was okay to accept Xijun's property. When he returned it, Feng Junhou could clearly see the expression on his face.
In addition, he has sought an official position more than once, which means he loves power.
Okay now, I have to add another word of lust.
Xu Xun went to spend the night in a barbarian camp, and there were still a large number of barbarian tribes at his disposal.
This stone bud, even the Huns' Yan clan, was not spared. It was simply a hungry ghost in lust!
"What are you afraid of if you are greedy for money?" Feng Yong glanced at Zhao Guang, "Money? I have plenty of it!"
One of the brothers in the Xinghan Association said one of them. At the beginning, which one did not come to money?
That’s right, the same goes for you, Zhao Erlang.
As for the love of power, let alone that.
The Xinghanhui system is basically that those who are able are promoted and those who are unable are demoted. The upward channel is relatively smooth and has not been blocked.
If you do n’t have the ability, you want to occupy the position. Looking at the big man, you can make Feng Junhou give this face. A slap can almost count.
In this case, Adou might say this, but as long as Zhang Xingcai is around, he has no chance.
So as long as you have the ability, there will always be a place for you.
As for lustful…
Forget it, when the court said that they wanted to keep a concubine for themselves, they did not refuse.
Feng Junhou felt that he was not qualified to comment on things like feudal society.
Besides, in troubled times, morality comes first, and employing people also depends on how they are used.
“It’s not impossible to go to my hometown in Beidi County, but you have to have a plan for everything.”
Feng Yong pondered for a while, and then said slowly, "Go back, find that Shi Bao, and ask him to make a plan for you. If I think it is feasible, then I will let you two go together."
Let a Liu Hanzi go over to the west, but you can't favor one over the other on the east, so just let a stone-colored ghost go over.
Aren't you a pervert? Then I will make you **** enough!
Just as Feng Junhou was thinking this, his waist seemed to suddenly feel a dull pain again.
Zhao Guang didn’t care about so much. He was overjoyed when his brother agreed:
“Brother, it’s settled, I’ll go find him right now!”
With that said, he got up and hurried out.
The right way is to go east only if you are greedy for money and lustful. Liu Dahan has already gone to the west.
The weather in Liangzhou always warms up slower than in Shu, especially in Dadou Bago, which has become active again in the past two or three years. Even in April, it is still a little cold.
But this little bit of coldness was no longer enough to stop Liu Liang's fiery heart.
In March, when Dadou Bagonxue had just melted and it was possible to pass through, he had already gathered his men, and under the leadership of the Tufa Department, set out for Liangzhou.
A considerable part of the goods of the caravan arriving from Longyou were sold in Zhangye or Wuwei.
But there are also a few who are not afraid of death and want to go to Dunhuang in the far west of Liangzhou, and then go out of Yumen Pass from there, cross the desert, and go to the Western Regions.
So Liu Liang and his party did not stop in Zhangye after crossing the Qilian Mountains, but continued westward, which did not arouse the suspicion of others.
After many caravans came to Dunhuang, they would think of ways to establish relations with the Zhang family, the biggest local snake here.
The Zhang family advocates respect, and not only has a high reputation among the barbarians in Dunhuang, but also has a great reputation in the Western Regions.
In the past few years, all the kings and kings of the Western Regions have sent envoys to the Central Plains to restore tributary relations, and Zhang Gong was indispensable.
The current governor of Dunhuang is named Yin Feng. Over the years, he has been implementing the farming policy of the Pre-Han Dynasty, and at the same time sent people to protect the traveling caravans. He can be regarded as a capable official.
Coupled with the fact that Dunhuang is located in the far west of Liangzhou, far away from the conflict between Han and Wei, and just connected to the Western Regions, the influx of new Han goods has made Dunhuang more likely to surpass Wuwei and become the center of Hu-Han exchanges.
The Zhang family is the brand that maintains this pure land.
So the caravan arrived here and tried every means to establish a relationship with the Zhang family in order to better communicate between Liangzhou and the Western Regions.
Logically speaking, since the Zhang family is in such a transcendent position, it should be increasingly prosperous.
Sadly the opposite is true.
In the Battle of Jincheng, the uncles and nephews of the Zhang family met a man who was smooth-talking and ruthless. Not only did he return defeated, but he was also almost charged with collaborating with the enemy.
In the end, even the Zhang family was more or less implicated.
So in the past two years, the Zhang family has kept a low profile.
As the son of Zhang Gong and the future head of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiu would have become the laughing stock of the Zhang family if he had not shown bravery and fearlessness when he was attacked by the rebels a few years ago.
Today, an equally brave and fearless man came to the door.
“Who is this person? Have you ever informed me of his name?”
The Zhang family's residence is not just for those who want to visit.
However, when Zhang saw the name card sent by his servant, his expression changed slightly.
Because this name post is one of the name posts he sent out.
Those who can get this name card will remember it clearly.
"Hui Langjun, the visitor didn't say anything, he only said that he has the same surname as the emperor."
“Same surname as the Emperor?”
What a loud tone!
Then Zhang’s hand holding the name card shook. Could it be that...the imperial court sent someone over?
“Please come in quickly... No, I have to go and greet you personally.”
After welcoming the visitor into the front hall and asking his servants to bring tea soup, Zhang then asked:
“May I ask where the guest comes from?”
“Someone comes from Dongzhou.”
“May I ask your surname?”
“Whatever the emperor’s surname is, I will also have that surname.”
Zhang Jiu's face twitched and he said quietly: "The emperor's surname is Cao..."
After hearing this, the visitor showed a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Zhang, that is a traitor to Cao Cao, not the emperor."
Zhang Jiu's expression finally changed, and he stood up suddenly: "Bold! You dare to say such treacherous words, are you not afraid that I will send you to the government?"
The visitor smiled indifferently and stood still. Instead, he raised his tea cup and tasted it gently. His manner was elegant. It was obvious that he also had considerable experience in tea soup.
Then he looked at Zhang Jiu and said, "Master Zhang, the pseudo-emperor named Cao, it's hard to say whether he can keep Guanzhong in the future, let alone Liangzhou."
“Didn’t your Zhang family say that whoever can keep the Chinese title in Liangzhou will be the emperor? Why, what you said to Feng Langjun back then, don’t you think it counts anymore?”
Zhang Jiu's expression changed again, he stared at the visitor for a long time, and then he sat back.
“Are you...sent by Feng Mingwen?”
“Of course not, I want to come here myself and want to see the people and customs of Liangzhou.”
The visitor raised his hand and said, "A certain Liu Xialiang, named Honglang, has met Mr. Zhang."
“Liu Langjun wants to be a lobbyist?”
Liu Liang laughed and waved his hand, "No, no, no. In the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng Junhou defeated Cao Zhen, and the Wei thieves were too timid to peep west. What's the use of lobbying for Liangzhou's affairs?"
Even though Liu Liang has been suffering at the hands of Feng Tibi, he is still a member of the Han clan, so he is calm and his appearance is quite good.
Zhang Jiu, on the other hand, couldn't help blurting out when he heard the words "A battle at Xiaoguan", "A battle at Xiaoguan, is it true?"
In winter in Liangzhou, there will be heavy snow and road closures, making it difficult to convey news.
After the beginning of spring, bits and pieces of news from Guanzhong finally came continuously, but most of them were messy and too delayed.
Even the rumors about Feng Yong's death in Xiaoguan that were spread in Longyou a few months ago were copied and spread in parallel with the news that Feng Yong defeated one hundred thousand Wei troops.
These contradictory news made Liangzhou restless.
At this moment, when Zhang heard Liu Liang mentioning the battle at Xiaoguan, how could he bear it?
Liu Liang came back this time just to spread the news widely. He didn't hold back at the moment, so he told Zhang everything he knew.
After Zhang heard this, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
After a while, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind:
I was able to survive Feng Mingwen's hands back then... Could it be that I was really lucky?
