Chapter 935 The younger generation is coming on stage one after another
The transmission of messages between the Han and Wei countries was not smooth.
This time, Han Long brought back the news about the Shouchun woman turning into a goddess, which was an unexpected surprise.
However, this unexpected surprise is not of great use to Feng Jishi at present.
That is to say, let’s see if we can make some use of this matter in the future.
At most, we should develop a long-term layout.
After all, Liangzhou and Luoyang are too far apart, coupled with the isolation between them.
It would take at least three months to deliver the news back and forth.
In an era without radio, the ghost king had no way to transmit his voice thousands of miles away.
The most important issue in Liangzhou at the moment is still the issue of the Hu people.
At the end of August, it is the golden autumn, when the grass in the desert is yellow and the horses are fat.
Shi Bao, who has been wandering on the grassland for half a year, finally returned to Liangzhou.
Not only did he bring back the war horses that Kebineng promised to the Han, but he also brought back the news that Kebineng promised to move the tent to his hometown of Jiuyuan.
On the first day of September, the generals of the Liangzhou Prefecture’s army gathered at the staff headquarters and held the first formal joint staff meeting.
Zhang Yuan, Feng's favorite disciple, held a long whip and talked in front of a huge map:
“Since the Han Dynasty re-conquered Liangzhou, the Hu people in Liangzhou have benefited from the wool pastures and are all grateful for the kindness of the monarchs. Originally, the Xianbei Hu people in the north of Liangzhou also often heard the names of the monarchs.”
“However, since Liangzhou was established in Yanjun and its capital Yeze was re-administered, the Han Dynasty cut off the Hu people’s passage southward into Liangzhou.”
“Therefore, there are barbarians in the desert near Liangzhou in the north,” Zhang Yuan said, tapping the northward protruding part of Liangzhou with his long whip. “Nowadays, there are many people who have resentments against the Han people.”
"The prince thought that the barbarians had been causing chaos in Liangzhou for a long time, and they no longer knew the power of the Han Dynasty. Now that Liangzhou has been settled and the food and grass are ready, it is time to leave the fortress."
As soon as he said this, there was a slight commotion, not to mention the generals who were scattered, sitting or standing in various corners of the room.
Even the generals who were qualified to sit at the big round table couldn't help but look at Governor Feng.
on
"The main enemy of the Han Dynasty is the Wei thieves, but if the army wants to march eastward with peace of mind, the problem of the Hu people must be solved first."
"The Prime Minister sent someone to deliver an official document a few days ago, asking Liangzhou how the military affairs are progressing. His intention is to ask me to prepare Liangzhou's troops as soon as possible."
"According to my estimation, it could be two years at the earliest or three years at the earliest. The prime minister may have to send troops to Hanzhong and march northward."
“So we don’t have much time left.” Feng Yong said, stood up, took the long whip from Zhang Yuan’s hand, and banged it on the desert north of Liangzhou.
“Two years! Within two years, at least the Hu people in Xianbei in the west will not dare to provoke at the border of Liangzhou for a short period of time.”
Getting approval from Governor Feng personally, compared to the general who did not dare to be too presumptuous, but was just excited and secretly clapped his hands in celebration.
Some of the generals sitting at the round table had already stood up and shouted: "Brother..."
General Huwei's eyes immediately swept over him like a sharp sword.
Zhao Guang was so frightened that he stuttered on the spot:
"Jun...jun lord, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the army out of the fortress!"
"General Zhao, I remember that your main task now is to rebuild the cavalry battalion. I will inspect the cavalry battalion tomorrow. If there is any weakness, let's see how I march."
Zhao Sanqian, who was famous among thieves in Guanzhong, immediately turned pale when he heard General Huwei's words.
It’s over!
He looked at his brother as if asking for help.
Governor Feng looked at Zhao Xiaodi with pity, and then said:
“That’s right, this time out of the fortress, we will mainly use the Tuqi Battalion and the Wudang Battalion as the main forces, and we will recruit Hu Qiyi to join the army to supplement them..."
Liu Hun and Shi Bao looked happy when they heard this. They immediately stood up and clasped their fists together:
“The last general takes orders!”
The two of them grinned almost to the back of their ears.
Nowadays, workshops and pastures in Liangzhou have really sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Concomitantly, naturally, there is a shortage of manpower.
To be precise, there is a shortage of labor, weavers and handymen.
In the past, those aristocratic and wealthy families felt that Liangzhou was full of barbarians.
Some people have suggested that Governor Feng could follow what happened in Nanzhong and let everyone form their own militia and go out to the fortress to find labor.
Then Feng Jishi, the chief labor coach of the Han Dynasty, said: You want to eat shit!
Today I dare to ask you to form a militia to look for labor. Tomorrow in Liangzhou I dare to spread the legend that Feng Langjun was possessed by Feng Ghost King and controlled thousands of women at night.
The reason why Nanzhong was engaged in this way was because the Han Dynasty was at its weakest and had to take a sideways approach.
Over the years, how much change has the Xinghanhui under the leadership of King Feng Gui brought to the lives of the people in Nanzhong?
But what’s the result?
In the eyes of the people in Nanzhong, King Feng Gui is still the same King Feng Gui, without any change, and will always be full of evil.
If you still dare to do this now, let alone sheep eating people, I'm afraid they can even eat grass!
Besides, even if you want to eat people, King Feng Gui will eat first. When did you use the chopsticks first?
It is precisely because of the current situation in Liangzhou that leading the army out of the fortress is both meritorious and profitable.
It’s simply not that exciting!
Of course, the main thing is to clean up the troubles for the big men, and the oil and water are just a side trip.
Compared with Liu Hun and Shi Bao, Tufa Tieli, who was participating in such a high-level meeting for the first time, was half a beat behind. He followed the two of them and stuttered:
“At the end...the general will take orders!”
Feeling the excitement and almost fanatical atmosphere in the conference room, Bald-faced Kheli seemed to have a creepy feeling.
Just thinking that I also have a piece of pasture in my name, if I go out this time, I will really gain something...
Bald Tie Li suddenly couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart began to beat:
This... it’s really better to get out of the way!
“This time out of the fortress, the direction is mainly eastward.”
Governor Feng tapped the map to calm down the people who were already restless. The long whip passed from Juyan County to the approximate location of Jiuyuan Hometown:
"From Juyan County to Jiuyuan Hometown, I hope you can open a way out."
Juyan County and Jiuyuan Former Place are both prominent locations, and they are exactly level with each other.
At that time, Huo Piaoyao set out from Beidi County, entered the desert from his hometown of Jiuyuan, made a big circle, and accurately determined his location in Yanze for thousands of miles.
Then he went up the weak river from Juyanze, across the west of the river, and defeated the Huns in their heartland.
They annihilated more than 30,000 enemies and made a forced landing of 2,500 people including King Shanhuan, King Tu, Prime Minister and Duwei.
They captured five kings and five queen mothers, the Chanyu family, fifty-nine princes, and sixty-three prime ministers, generals, principals, and captains.
The Han army suffered only more than 3,000 casualties.
In this battle, the right arm of the Huns was cut off, allowing the Han to take Hexi into his hands, and completely open up the Western Region.
What Feng Yong wants to do now is to reverse Huo Piao and Yao's original route and open up the connection between Juyan County and Jiuyuan's hometown.
In this way, during the Battle of Guanzhong, Kebi Neng, who was entrenched in his hometown of Jiuyuan, could be used to put pressure on Sima Yi.
When the Battle of Guanzhong is over, the Han Dynasty can restrain Kebineng from the west and south to prevent him from making any big waves.
As a tool man, you must have the consciousness of a tool man, and big men are so short of labor...
After explaining the mission of going out to the fortress, Governor Feng looked at everyone:
“Any more questions?”
Shi Bao has been wandering in the desert this year and has a good understanding of the situation in the north.
At this time he stood up and asked what the problem was.
“Two years.”
Feng Yong raised two fingers: "Two years, you have two years to open this road."
“I will ask Zhang Yuan to follow with some staff and draw maps along the way.”
Huo Piaoyao only spent a few months, without any road signs, not only to find a way on his own, but also to fight in the west of Hexi to defeat the Xiongnu.
Now I have the ruins of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty on the vast desert as a road sign, and the Hu tribe outside the Great Wall as a guide.
In addition, over the years, some caravans who want money but not their lives have been exploring their way north, which can also be used.
Let’s not say that we can defeat the bandits like Huo Piaoyao, but it’s not too much to say that it takes two years to find a way out, right?
"In this case, the general will have no doubts. After two years, if this matter fails, the general is willing to deal with it according to military law!"
Shi Bao said quickly.
"good!"
Governor Feng praised him and said, "Where there is punishment, there will be reward. If this can be accomplished, I will certainly remember your contribution."
“Thank you, Lord!”
Shi Bao replied happily.
It seems that my identity as the "desert lover" has finally come into use.
After announcing the top priority of leaving the fortress, we then arranged the training plan for the generals and battalions staying in Liangzhou.
In fact, this meeting was also the initial ideological mobilization for the Battle of Guanzhong.
Liao Hua, on the other hand, deliberately stayed behind after the meeting and asked Feng Yong with a little worry:
"Your Majesty, if you express your intention to break out of the blockade in such a big way, it will reach the ears of the thieves in Guanzhong. Wouldn't it allow the thieves to be prepared in advance?"
Feng Yong shook his head and smiled:
"Uncle Liao, there are no outsiders at this time, so you don't have to be so polite."
Then he sighed again and said with a little helplessness:
“Ever since the Xiongnu Hu Bo Juzhi was exterminated by Sima Yi, I know that the Wei thieves are very wary of me!”
“Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to communicate with Ke Bi Neng and use him to contain Sima Yi.”
The Liangzhou army went out to attack Xianbei in the west. Although it was to eliminate hidden dangers, it would make it easier for the Liangzhou army to march eastward and participate in the Battle of Guanzhong in the future.
But objectively, it also helped Ke Bineng weaken the enemies in the west.
It is almost foreseeable that a hero like Ke Bineng would take advantage of the opportunity given by the Han Dynasty to restore his power after being defeated by Qin Lang.
Moreover, if Ke Bineng's power is too weak, it will not be enough to contain Sima Yi.
No matter what the Han Dynasty's attitude towards Ke Bineng was, he was still there to be the enemy of Wei.
Rather than leaving it alone and letting him take advantage of the conflict between the Han and Wei to grow, it is better to find a way to incorporate him into the Han's system.
This will test Feng Jishi's political level.
Fortunately, in the backyard of Feng Mansion, there is a female Zhuge and a female hero.
One civil, one military, plus one time traveler.
Let alone Ke Bineng, even Sima Yi, whose turtle shell was as hard as iron, would have smashed him into several big holes.
So Liao Hua saw Feng Jishishi sighing and then smiling mysteriously:
“Since Sima Yi is so guarded against me, then I will ask him to be more guarded against me. Then I will have my own plan.”
Feng Guiwang has a long-standing reputation for foresight and foresight. When Liao Hua heard his words, he felt relieved and nodded:
“Since Mingwen has already thought of this, I can rest assured.”
Liao Hua looked at Guan Suo and Feng Yong, who were standing side by side.
When I saw a handsome man and a plain-looking one, but he had a great plan, I couldn't help but feel deeply in my heart:
“If Mingwen could have been born ten years earlier, the wishes of the late emperor and the old monarch would have been fulfilled long ago..."
Well, Uncle Liao, the Prime Minister also said something similar.
As Liao Hua spoke, he reached out and patted Feng Yong on the shoulder, "If I were alive, I would be very happy to see Sanniang marry you."
That's not certain.
If my father-in-law Guan knew about Zhang Xiaosi and I, he would probably chop me up with his third brother and serve me as a banquet.
Besides, if it hadn't been for Guan's father-in-law's loss in Jingzhou, how would I have had the chance to buy at the bottom and marry a beautiful woman like Sanniang?
Just when Liangzhou was preparing its troops and preparing to leave Juyan County, Sun Deng, the crown prince of the East Palace of Jianye City, the capital of Soochow, also welcomed a special guest.
“Yuanxun, after three years of conquering Yue, you finally succeeded!”
Sun Deng stood at the gate of the East Palace, happily holding Zhuge Ke's arm and walked inside with him.
A few years ago, Zhuge Ke claimed that he could pacify Shanyue in Danyang County, but he was doubted and criticized by the ministers of Wu State.
Only Prince Sun Deng strongly recommended Sun Quan, believing that he would succeed.
Since the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng Yong of Shu has become famous all over the world. More importantly, this man is only a few years old.
Everyone can see that after Zhuge Liang, Shu no longer has to worry about having no successors.
Sun Quan, who killed Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Cao Pi, understood one thing very well. Sometimes you don’t necessarily need to defeat your opponent personally, you just need to outlast your opponent, and then you will have the last laugh.
So when Lu Xun reached the age of hearing, but there were no outstanding talents among the younger generation, Sun Quan felt a certain sense of crisis.
Finally, he finally agreed to Sun Deng's request and asked Zhuge Ke, the prince's guest, to serve as the governor of Danyang and pacify Shanyue.
He also gave him 300 men holding halberds and armed cavalry to prepare him with majesty and propaganda, which showed that he attached great importance to Zhuge Ke.
I have to say that Sun Quan was not good at leading troops, but he still had a good eye for people.
After Zhuge Ke arrived in Danyang County, he immediately sent documents to all counties, asking them to guard the borders closely. The mountain people who had surrendered would be properly dealt with and settled in settlements.
When the army is complete, he will mobilize all the generals, send troops to guard the dangerous valley entrance, build passes, and surround the mountain people without engaging in combat.
When the rice was ripe, he ordered the soldiers to go and harvest the rice.
In this way, we camped step by step, with mountains and new valleys failing to harvest, and old grains exhausted. We wanted to fight to the death, but were unable to defeat the Wu army guarding the pass, and finally had to retreat one after another.
In order to appease people's hearts, Zhuge's subordinates also issued an order: all mountain people should be comforted if they abandon their evil ways and change their ways, and move out of other counties. They must not be detained, and any offenders will be beheaded!
Zhou Yi, a mountain man, used to be violent and evil, and was trapped and had no way out. After coming out of the mountain, he still had different aspirations and was ready to wait for opportunities to cause chaos.
The county magistrate Mr. Hu knew his intentions, so he ordered someone to tie him up.
When Zhuge Ke learned about this, he told the county magistrate Hu and his wife that they had violated the prohibition of "not being detained" and had them executed in public. He also ordered people to spread the news about the incident.
When the mountain people heard about it, they began to help the old and the young and came out of the mountain in large numbers.
In three years, Zhuge Ke successively subdued more than 100,000 mountain people and incorporated 40,000 of them into the army. He took 10,000 and distributed the remaining 30,000 to other generals.
So the rebellion in Shanyue, Danyang County, finally subsided.
In order to commend him for his contribution, Sun Quan ordered his minister Xue Zong to go and work for the army in person. At the same time, he appointed Zhuge Ke as General Weibei and granted him the title of Marquis of the capital.
Zhuge Ke returned to Jianye this time, firstly to pay homage to the general and to be ennobled, and secondly because Sun Quan had other uses for him.
As the leader of the Prince's East Palace staff, it was the Prince who recommended Sun Quan, and that's how we got to this day.
So after Zhuge Ke saw His Majesty, he naturally rushed over to see the prince as soon as possible.
At this time, when he heard the prince's words, he smiled slightly proudly and said:
“At the beginning, no one in the world believed that I could pacify Shanyue. Only Your Highness believed in me and allowed me to do it. Therefore, this great achievement is shared between me and Your Highness.”
Sun Deng also laughed when he heard this.
For a time, both the monarch and his ministers were full of ambition and looked forward to the flight of God.
