Chapter 648 Settlement

Thinking of the Battle of Jikou, Feng Yong was shocked, "What about Hanzhong? The old general is here, who is guarding Hanzhong?"

"Don't worry, nothing happened in Hanzhong. Bandit Cao has just been defeated, so An has the guts to do it again so soon?"

Zhao Yun knew what Feng Yong was worried about, "Furthermore, according to the spies' reports, the Cao thief and the puppet emperor have already left Chang'an. Although the Cao thief army in Chencang is still there, the guard has been replaced by Du Xi. Cao Zhen is assigned to guard Chang'an and is ready to respond to Guanzhong. everywhere."

"Based on that, is Cao thief really planning to give up on Longyou?"

Although he had already guessed this result in his heart, when the facts were in front of him, Feng Yong felt unreal.

"How can it be possible to let go as soon as you say it, but you just can't fight anymore. Not to mention the Cao thief, even the big man is powerless to raise troops at this time."

Zhao Yun has fought all his life, so he is much more realistic than Feng Yong when it comes to this kind of matter.

"We've been fighting each other for half a year, and we've learned everything we need to know about each other. We know that the Cao thief can't get over Longshan now, and the Cao thief also knows that we don't have the strength to enter Guanzhong now."

"Everyone is panting for breath and gathering strength. During this period, at most it will be a small fight. After saving for a few years, I'm afraid there will be another big battle. At that time, either they will attack Longyou, or we will march into Guanzhong. "

"This time the big man fought with all his strength, but the Cao thief was unprepared, so we took advantage of it. But if you can cheat for a while in war, how can you cheat for a lifetime, let alone revive the great cause of the Han Dynasty?"

"Furthermore, after this Northern Expedition, Cao Bandit is already prepared in Guanzhong. So next time, between us and Cao Bandit, it will be an upright battle. The battle will be based on the true strength of both sides, and there will be no flukes."

"So how to manage Longyou in the past few years is a big problem that should not be taken lightly."

Feng Yong finally understood Zhao Yun's words.

He looked at Zhao Yun, and saw that the old general sitting on top looked excited, and when he talked about the doomed war in the next few years, there was even yearning and longing in his expression.

It seems that the victory of the Northern Expedition allowed him to set foot on the land of Longyou in person, and it seemed to give him a boost.

It's just that no matter how energetic the old general is, his hair and beard are already white, as if to prove to the world that no one can escape the pursuit of time.

No one knows how long this old general, who has followed the late emperor to fight north and south since he was young, can survive.

Thinking of this, Feng Yong suddenly realized that the prime minister was indeed more thoughtful than himself: Old General Zhao was the most suitable person to guard Longyou.

The reason is that he is the only real cavalry commander who is still alive in the big man.

Zhao Yun was born in Hebei, and he fought with Gongsun Zan in the north in his early years.

And Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness is a famous cavalry soldier in the world.

Later, after he followed the late emperor, he became the "first master and chief cavalry", that is, the commander of the cavalry under the late emperor, which shows that he has always led the cavalry.

It's just that the first emperor moved from the north to the south, and the cavalry had no source of supplement, so Zhao Yun, the "main cavalry", naturally couldn't play its due role.

Until the country was established in the middle of Shu, and now there are only 2,000 cavalry left in the whole country, and most of them were brought over by Ma Chao from the north.

Now that Longyou, the horse-producing land, was finally regained, Zhuge Liang transferred Zhao Yun to guard it. Obviously, he wanted him to go back to his old job and rebuild the Han cavalry.

Whether it was Wei Yan or Wu Yi, neither of them had experience in commanding cavalry, let alone being able to help the big man rebuild the cavalry.

Besides Zhao Yun, the only one who is familiar with cavalry is Ma Dai, right?

But Ma Dai has neither led soldiers alone, nor has any impressive record. No matter in terms of qualifications, prestige, or even ability, he is far less suitable than Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun is old and already an old bone. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be made to work so hard, but the seemingly inhuman transfer was actually Zhuge Liang's last resort.

Thinking of this, Feng Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the talent fault of the big man is too obvious.

I saw him ask Zhao Yun in a low voice, "How about General Ma's arrangement?"

If Ma Dai, who is familiar with cavalry, can also be transferred to Longyou, then Zhao Yun should be able to relax a lot.

"This is not what you can care about now." Zhao Yun didn't go any further with Feng Yongshen, "You will know later."

"The old man can tell you this because I have to see the Prime Minister later, and I want to ask you first, so as not to be blinded by the situation in Longyou when I ask and answer in front of the Prime Minister."

Oh, it turned out that they came to me to do the preparation work.

Feng Yong expressed his understanding.

There is nothing wrong with the future governor of Longyou looking for the future lieutenant who protects the Qiang, it is not considered to be an early revelation.

It wasn't until Zhang Xingyi came in and made people serve food that the two of them stopped discussing.

After eating, Zhao Yun didn't stay any longer and was going to see the prime minister.

Feng Yong personally sent it out of the yard.

Zhao Yun looked at the gate of the courtyard, but Zhang Xingyi didn't follow him, so he pulled Feng Yong aside and said, "This old man also came from your age, and I know that young people have a heart of admiration."

"Have you been married for more than two years? You don't have a queen yet, so you should have more concubines."

Having said that, he looked at the gate of the courtyard again, and then lowered his voice, "But the daughter of the Zhang family, is that someone who can be a concubine? Listen to the old man's advice, don't waste time on Si Niang."

"Anyway, you are going to stay in Longyou in the future. I think you might as well get in touch with those big families in Longyou, ask if there is any suitable side branch, and bring them in. That's the business."

As he spoke, he pointed to Feng Yong's belly, "Although you usually don't like to show off, the old man can also tell that your belly is full of knowledge that is rare in the world."

"If you don't have a few more children and inherit this knowledge, do you still want to take advantage of outsiders?"

Feng Yong looked embarrassed, and coughed dryly, "Old General, Sanniang has always been in charge of matters in this house, and Sanniang has to decide whether to take a concubine or not?"

Zhao Yun gave a "tsk", "You are also a general after all, a person who leads troops to fight. That's right, those of us who lead troops all the year round, if there is no one in the house who can hold the main house in the house, That definitely won't work."

"But you can't let her ride on your head, otherwise you can't even deal with a woman, how can you have the face to lead the army? How to teach women a lesson, it is almost the same as training soldiers in the camp."

"Reward when it's time to reward, and don't be soft-hearted when it's time to punish. Let her know the rules..."

Feng Yongmu looked expressionlessly at Mr. Zhao teaching him experience like an old hooligan, but he actually refused in his heart.

Damn, does it look like I can beat Guan Ji? Tiger Girl's name is called for nothing?

She can put me on the roof with one hand. The so-called three days without a fight, the person who will go to the house to expose the tiles, then it will be me, not her.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he finally patted Feng Yong on the shoulder and said, "I hope you can think about these words carefully. This old man is for your own good."

Then he got on his horse and led the people rumbling towards the Jicheng County Mansion.

Feng Yong only took his words as fart, and walked back to the yard silently.

Zhang Xingyi had already asked someone to clean up all the bowls and chopsticks on the case table. Seeing him come back, he smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle thinks a lot of A-Lang, and he talked so much with A-Lang before leaving."

Feng Yong chuckled.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhang Xingyi asked, "Looking at Ah Lang's expression, could it be that the concubine made a mistake?"

"It's wrong to be wrong." Feng Yong sighed, "What's good for me may not be good news for you."

"What does Alang mean by that?"

Zhang Xingyi asked.

"The old general wants to be a matchmaker, let me get closer to the Longyou family, and help me recruit a few women from the Longyou family..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Xingyi raised her brows and raised her voice, "What are you talking about? Take a concubine!"

Seeing her ready to eat people, Feng Yong quickly coaxed, "I didn't agree, I didn't agree!"

"Hmph! Even if you want to appease the Longyou clan, then the prime minister is the one to say this. What qualifications does Fourth Uncle Zhao have to say such a thing?" Zhang Xingyi was still angry, and said through gritted teeth, "It's really nosy!"

Hearing Zhang Xingyi's words, Feng Yong was taken aback, he could hear the different meanings, "to appease the Longyou clan?"

Zhang Xingyi rolled his eyes at him, "That's natural. Longyou has made an initial decision. In order to win the trust of the Longyou clan as soon as possible, isn't marriage the best way?"

"When it comes to a general with a great reputation, a bright future, and just the right age, is there anyone who can compare to you? If you hadn't already married, would you believe that there is already a line at the gate of this yard to invite you to go home? The person at the banquet?"

When Zhang Xingyi said this, Feng Yong immediately understood.

Mr. Zhao's image of an elder who taught him so earnestly collapsed suddenly. This old army ruffian is really not a vegetarian!

Also, how can it be so simple for a character who can survive in battle all his life?

First, he was suppressed by the reason that he had been married for more than two years and had no children, and then he pretended to be an old hooligan to arouse the sympathy of men. The seemingly casual persuasion actually concealed the purpose of using himself to sacrifice his appearance to win over the big clan in Longyou.

After all, Feng Yong made such a great contribution to the Northern Expedition, so it is inevitable to be promoted to Liehou.

But at present, he only has one wife and one concubine. In the rich and powerful circle of the big man, he is indeed a bit too different. It is normal to have a few more concubines.

Anyway, this matter is the best for Zhao Laojun.

Nothing to lose.

So all of this seems to be very logical, awesome.

If it was someone else, he might have been fooled into the pit by him.

Feng Yong looked around and screened everyone away.

Then he whispered to Zhang Xingyi, "I understand now that Si Niang said that. Let me tell you, Mr. Zhao does seem to have a purpose. He is the future governor of Longyou."

When Zhang Xingyi heard this, he became even more annoyed, "He... so what if he is the governor of Longyou? How could he let you make sacrifices?"

sacrifice?

Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xingyi.

Zhang Xingyi stared back.

Well, it does seem like a sacrifice.

Although the wife of the main house is not there, General Feng still has to guard his body like a jade. If the fourth wife of the Zhang family says it is a sacrifice, then it must be a sacrifice.

The only thing that surprised Feng Yong was that Si Niang had changed a lot in the past two years, and she was able to explain Zhao Yun's plan in one go.

It's really impressive.

It seems that it is not unreasonable for Zhang Xingcai to let her sister be the female official Shanggong.

With a sister like Zhang Xingcai, Zhang Xingyi, who has a mother and a compatriot, would not be far behind.

She was eccentric when she was a child, and in the past two years, she has managed the Zhang family's huge property in Nanxiang by herself. How can her ability be underestimated?

Thinking of this, Feng Yong felt that there was one thing that he might try to discuss with her.

"Si Niang, there is something I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

Feng Yong coughed dryly and said, "In the battle at Jieting, in order to motivate the soldiers to fight to the death, I promised a box of tickets in public."

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I had no choice but to follow the authority. But afterwards, I thought, it would be even better if His Majesty could take over the matter when rewarding meritorious deeds..."

Zhang Xingyi's eyes widened, looking at the shameless man in front of him, he couldn't laugh or cry on the spot, "Although the emperor's brother-in-law is easy to talk, you can't bully him like this, right?"

Feng Yong let out a dissatisfied "tsk", "How do you say that? Who dares to bully His Majesty in the Han Dynasty? Besides, I am doing this for His Majesty's benefit. , the soldiers are still not grateful to Dade?"

Feng Yongyuan's plan was to go to the prime minister to put a name on it. He thought that the money would have to be paid by himself in the end, but the name couldn't be put on his own head.

In wartime, no one said anything. But after the war, when the actual meritorious deeds were rewarded, if they did not follow the rules, they would be suspected of buying people's hearts.

However, the Prime Minister intends to allow himself to manage the Longyou Qianghu affairs, so this money should be regarded as an investment.

Anyway, sooner or later you can double your earnings.

It's just that Zhang Xingyi has become a palace lady now, and the power sounds quite big.

Feng Tubie murmured in his heart, if the royal family is willing to bear this reputation, wouldn't it be better? At that time, the money will not have to be paid by oneself.

Thinking of that simple and honest little fat man, Feng Tubie thought, the prime minister is too calculating, I can't count him. But how cute is Fatty? Anyway, it's not me who wants to buy people's hearts.

For this money, Zhang Xingcai wished that the palace could pay for it by himself.

Zhang Xingyi naturally didn't know what Feng Yong was thinking, but when she heard Feng Yong say "graciousness comes from above", her eyes became more serious.

She looked at Feng Yong, her eyes flickered, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she asked after a while, "Will the prime minister agree?"

Feng Yong patted his chest and said, "Prime Minister, let me talk about it."

Now that Zhuge Liang had already let go of Adou's hands and feet, Feng Yong just took advantage of this to show his support.

Although I don't want to boast, Feng Langjun's status is not ordinary in the younger generation who is about to succeed the big man.

Hearing his words, Zhang Xingyi showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and nodded slightly, "In that case, the concubine will take care of this matter. Ah Lang just do it, and the palace can pay the money in the end."

After hearing this, Feng Yong's eyes showed surprise. It seems that the queen really values ​​Si Niang more than he imagined.

A few days later, Zhuge Liang confirmed that the water truck was sufficient to cope with the drought in Longyou, and Zhao Yun had arrived in Longyou, so he quickly announced various matters after the war in public.

Zhao Yun moved to the General of the Western Conquest and served as the governor of Longyou, in charge of all military and political affairs in Longyou. The governor's office was set up in Jicheng, Tianshui, and Deng Zhi and Ma Dai assisted him.

Feng Yongli made great achievements. He was transferred from the Marquis of Guannei to the Marquis of Jinjue and Quanting, and moved to General Yangwei.

Zhang Ni served as the long history of the captain of the Qiang guard, and Ju Fu served as Sima of the captain of the guard of the Qiang. Liu Hun and Huo Yi were temporarily engaged in the guarding of the Qiang.

Wang Ping moved General Qiangnu to garrison Longguan. At the same time, Zhu Ti was removed from the post of prefect, and Wang Han assisted him.

Liu Yin accumulated military exploits, moved to General Yiwei, and concurrently served as the prefect of Guangwei County.

Zhao Guangqian moved to Suibian General and stationed at Xiaoguan, while Yang Wanwan was promoted to partial general to assist Zhao Guang.

Wu Yi was promoted to General Left.

Wei Yan was promoted from prime minister military division to former military division.

Guan Xing moved to the Central Guard Army, and Zhang Bao moved to the Central Supervisor Army.

Liao Hua served as the prefect of Yinping.

These are relatively large changes in positions. As for the rewards of the remaining officers and soldiers, they are different.

At the same time, the soldiers will be feasted for three days. Except for the soldiers who stayed in Longyou, the rest will follow the prime minister's class.

"Marquis of Jiequanting? That's Liehou!" Zhang Xingyi's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he looked at Feng Yongdao, "It's just that if Zhang Yun, the thief of Cao, finds out about your title of Marquis of Jinjiequanting, will he be offended? die?"

Jiequan Pavilion, referred to as Jieting.

Feng Yong gave a "tsk", "I'm afraid of him?"

Speaking of Zhang Xi, I don't know if this guy is dead or not?

Feng Yong murmured a little in his heart, the title of marquis is indeed a bit vicious, when others mention Feng Junhou, they all know that it is Jiequantinghou, and when they mention Jiequantinghou, they will think of the battle of Jieting.

For Feng Yong, that was the place of glory for him to defeat Zhang Xi, otherwise how could he be called General Yangwei? That must be prestige!

But for Cao thief, that is basically the MAX value of ridicule: it seems that the situation is about to be reversed, and it falls short in the end, which makes people gnash their teeth.
