"Your Majesty, the news from the army is that Yang Changshi went to General Wei's camp and has just returned to the city."
Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Yuan, like a ghost, quietly came to Feng Junhou to report.
When Feng Junhou heard this, he suddenly laughed:
"Yang Yi, does he have the guts to go to Wei Yan's camp? Do you want to fight him?"
The brain rests and the cerebellum thinks, and we can all come to the conclusion:
Yang Yi had the courage to lower her face and go to find her old enemy, and most likely they would form an alliance.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong asked:
"When Yang Yi comes out, will anyone see her off?"
"No, I came out alone."
"No one to see you off?"
"No."
Feng Yong touched his chin:
"That may be because we haven't reached an agreement with Wei Wenchang."
The period of taking over the army is still short, in order to minimize the resentment of the generals in the army.
Feng Junhou would not be so stupid as to blatantly plant his cronies into the Hanzhong army while the Prime Minister was still there.
Therefore, he only indirectly controlled the Hanzhong army through his two brothers-in-law, as well as Wu Ban and other generals who favored him.
This can maintain the stability of the army to the greatest extent possible and resolve the turmoil caused by the death of the prime minister.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Since they did not have sufficient control over the Hanzhong army, the battalion led by Wei Yan, the biggest thorn in the side, was relatively independent.
Feng Yong didn't have a good way to infiltrate, let alone know what Wei Yan and Yang Yi talked about in the camp.
Therefore, we can only rely on the personnel sent out by the Dark Night Camp to observe, collect, and infer.
To be honest, given the situation where Wei and Yang were so close to each other, Feng Junhou never thought that they might join forces.
"Chief, do we still need to send more people to watch him?"
Feng Yong leaned back on the chair and said a little carelessly:
"No need, he is just a worm with its fangs pulled out. Otherwise, how could he put down his dignity and go find Wei Wenchang?"
When the Prime Minister was still there, Feng Junhou didn't even think about returning his power to Yang Yi.
He was only allowed to stand for a long hour, doing nothing all day long.
Now that Feng Junhou really makes the decision, it is even more impossible for Yang Yi to get back the rights of Chang Shi.
It can be said that it would be a humiliation for Yang Yi to take the initiative to find Wei Yan.
But now he can even endure this kind of humiliation, which shows that he has indeed reached the end of his rope.
"Instead of paying attention to Yang Yi, it is better to pay attention to Wei Yan. After all, Wei Yan has military power in his hands, and he also has to lead the army across the river."
Yang Yi is now powerless and alone. It would be a waste of manpower to send people to keep an eye on him.
Even if he can speak lotus flowers and persuade Wei Yan to join forces with him.
But the only person who can truly threaten him is Wei Yan.
As for Yang Yi, just sending a sergeant can restrain him, what's the point?
This is the consequence of having no backers, no friends, and no younger brothers.
If only he could be like Fei Yi and work as a waiter, he would not be in this situation today.
Zhang Yuan understood, nodded and said: "Student understands."
"Inform Chief of Staff Gongsun on the other side of Hedong immediately and ask him to pay attention to the preparations for Wei Yan's crossing."
"promise."
The Liangzhou staff group led by Feng Junhou's chief of staff Gongsun Xi set off on their way when the ice and snow in Liangzhou had just melted.
Finally, Feng Junhou arrived in Chang'an when he needed manpower the most.
With the addition of the staff team in Hedong and Bingzhou, Feng Junhou no longer needs to keep an eye on them all the time.
What Feng Junhou lacks now is a group of secretaries to help him handle government affairs.
There are many women in the secretarial corps, or in other words, most of them are women, so naturally they cannot travel in the rain, sleet, and snow like the staff corps.
What's more, the secretary-general also has to take care of his family.
It happened that it was the beginning of spring at this time, and the Hu people in Bingzhou, the farmers in Hedong, and the people in Guanzhong were all waiting for arrangements.
There was no major war in Guanzhong, and there was no secretary Zhang around, so Feng Junhou had to focus most of his energy on handling government affairs.
Feng Junhou has never missed Secretary Zhang as much as he does now.
Who would have expected that after a while, Zhang Yuan came in again with a strange expression:
"Shan Chief, Yang Changshi is here and wants to see you."
Feng Junhou almost thought he heard wrongly: "Yang Yi wants to see me?"
"Exactly."
Could it be that because he failed to negotiate with Wei Yan, he bowed his head to show his favor?
Feng Junhou met Yang Yi with full of doubts.
Unexpectedly, Feng Junhou couldn't help being surprised when he saw Yang Yi.
But seeing that Yang Yi was a little disheveled, she looked quite embarrassed.
The right cheek is pale, the left cheek is swollen, and the eyes are lifeless, like dead wood, with no trace of the former energy.
His eyes were just staring at Feng Junhou, as if he didn't see anything, he just sat there blankly like a piece of wood.
From his appearance, one could tell that he had been greatly shocked.
"Obviously when discussing matters in the army, although this man was a little decadent, he still had some energy."
"After he went to see Wei Yan, what did Wei Yan do to him, as if all his energy and energy were drained out of him?"
Feng Junhou forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and stabilized his mind. The harsh tone he originally wanted to use became softer at this time:
"Yang Changshi came here this time, but what is the important matter?"
While talking, he personally poured a cup of tea for Yang Yi.
After a while, Yang Yi's eyes moved, as if she had come back from sleepwalking.
I only heard him say in a hoarse voice:
"General Feng, I have something to ask of you."
"Yang Changshi, please speak."
Yang Yi said in a low voice: "When the Prime Minister was alive, he believed in me and valued me, and he did not hesitate to entrust me with all matters in the army."
After hearing this, Feng Junhou also said that he had been hit by Wei Yan and came to him to tell his story and pretend to be pitiful.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yi changed the subject:
"After the Prime Minister passed away, he was buried in Lantian. Although this was the Prime Minister's instructions before his death, and in addition to the fact that the main purpose was to defeat thieves, the army was not allowed to do anything big."
"But I have been deeply favored by the Prime Minister, how can I bear it? I only ask the Lord to allow me to go to Lantian to guard the Prime Minister's tomb in order to repay the Prime Minister's kindness."
What Yang Yi said was beyond Feng Junhou's expectation.
Seeing his despairing look again, Feng Junhou couldn't help but feel a little pity for him.
Nothing, why are you looking for Wei Yan?
Even if I am not accompanied by General Guan, I would not think of meeting him alone.
It's just pitiful, but Feng Junhou Lang has a strong heart, and he has no idea of letting him regain the power of Chang Shi.
In the original history, Yang Yi was just exiled by Adou at the beginning.
Now Yang Yi's request is not much different from self-exile.
Besides, given Yang Yi's temperament, having him wander around the city all day long in the name of a long history would probably be an insult to him, right?
Thinking of this, Feng Junhou nodded:
"Although I have carried out the Prime Minister's funeral affairs in accordance with the Prime Minister's instructions before his death, it is indeed a bit too simple. Since Yang Changshi is serious about it, I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, Feng Junhou stood up and saluted Yang Changshi.
Not for anything else, just because the other party can take the initiative to request to guard the prime minister's tomb.
Yang Yi had no expression on her face and accepted Feng Junhou's gift calmly, then stood up, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
It was Feng Junhou who followed behind and sent him out:
"Yang Changshi went to guard the tomb, but if you need anything, just ask, I won't allow it."
"Just help me build a thatched cottage, prepare all the sacrificial supplies, and remember to deliver the daily needs on time."
Yang Yi didn't look back and answered in a cold tone.
Feng Junhou didn't care, he immediately agreed, followed him, and sent him to the gate of the government office.
If you don't like it, you won't understand it, but the etiquette must be sufficient.
Looking at Yang Yi's slightly lonely back gradually disappearing at the other end of the street, Feng Junhou was thoughtful.
As a result of rushing to guard the prime minister's tomb, Feng Junhou felt that he should have a chance to enjoy his old age in peace.
After all, having followed the Prime Minister for so many years, Yang Yi had worked hard even if he had no merit.
Two days later, Wei Yan sent people into the city to ask for an audience.
When Feng Yong saw the person coming, he couldn't help but said happily:
"Brother Wei, why are you here?"
The visitor was none other than Wei Changzi, Wei Chang.
Wei Chang was an honest man and bowed politely:
"I have met the king."
"There is no outsider, so it doesn't have to be like this."
Feng Junhou stretched out his arm: "Brother Wei, why do you have time to come here?"
When Feng Junhou met Wei Yan for the first time in Hanzhong, the two had a big conflict.
As a son, Wei Chang was kicked to the ground because he dissuaded Wei Yan.
Feng Junhou always kept this favor in his heart.
“Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously!”
Wei Chang, on the other hand, was frightened and took two steps back when he heard Feng Junhou's title. "Besides, I am here because I have official duties."
My younger brother is the eldest disciple of Feng Junhou. He has a bright future and will be the future face of the Wei family.
How dare I let Feng Junhou call me brother? Isn't this going to offend my brother?
Seeing Wei Chang like this, Feng Junhou had to stop what he was doing and asked helplessly:
"Oh? But General Zhenbei is preparing to lead the army across the river?"
"Your Majesty, you see clearly, that's right."
"When does General Zhenbei plan to leave?"
"The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow."
Hearing this, Feng Yong pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and said:
"That's right. You go back and tell General Zhenbei that there is no need to worry about the food, grass and baggage. I will make preparations for him."
Wei Chang hugged his fist heavily: "No!"
After talking about business, Wei Chang did not intend to stay long and was ready to resign.
However, when he exited the door, he stopped hesitantly and turned around hesitantly:
"There is something I want to ask you for advice at the end of the day, but I am a little presumptuous and I am afraid that you will blame me."
"It's just that if you don't speak out about this matter, it will feel like it's stuck in your throat and you won't be able to spit it out."
Seeing Wei Chang's appearance, Feng Junhou knew what he meant and said with a smile:
"I also have something to say to General Wei. I rarely had the opportunity before, so I just want to say it now."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Could it be that what General Wei wants to say has something to do with General Zhenbei?"
When Wei Chang heard this, he was immediately surprised: "Your Majesty has foresight, and I will admire you very much."
Feng Junhou smiled and said nothing.
At the same time, he secretly thought:
With your temperament, I really can't think of anything else besides Wei Yan that you can take the initiative to talk to me about.
"I'm just guessing, but I don't know what General Wei is going to say?"
A look of struggle appeared on Wei Chang's face, and he whispered:
"I don't dare to hide it from the Lord. Yang Changshi paid a private visit to my family two days ago."
Feng Junhou said "Yes": "I also know about this matter."
Seeing Feng Junhou's calm appearance, Wei Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it, that's right. After all, King Feng Gui has great foresight. He should have some way of knowing about such things.
Therefore, it seems that I did not make a mistake by talking about this matter with Feng Junhou without your consent.
"The general was guarding outside the tent at that time. Although I couldn't hear clearly what Yang Changshi and your Excellency discussed inside the tent, it seems that Your Excellency did not agree."
Wei Chang said this with a little shame on his face:
"The prince also knew that my lord had a bad temper, so he drove Yang Changshi out in a rage."
The word "rush" is used well, with the Spring and Autumn style of writing.
When Feng Junhou saw Wei Chang like this, how could he not know his true purpose, which was actually to protect his own master?
He couldn't help but sigh to himself:
"Wei Yan has a good life, at least much better than Yang Yi."
Before he finished sighing, Wei Chang continued:
"As the saying goes, a son never talks about his father's faults. Chang Zi doesn't dare to say anything about the matters between the king and his lord, as well as Yang Changshi."
"But in the past two days, my lord heard a news that Yang Changshi came to visit the prince again after returning to the city that day."
"When leaving the mansion, the prince personally escorted Yang Changshi out of the mansion..."
Wei Chang became a little hesitant:
"Jun Hou, you also know that my lord's temper is a bit anxious. The conversation with Yang Changshi in the tent that day may have caused some conflict."
Thinking of Yang Yi's extremely dejected appearance that day, Feng Junhou thought to himself, it wasn't as simple as "some collision", right?
"Your Excellency and Yang Changshi often have heated exchanges even in front of the Prime Minister."
"So, if there is anything that makes it difficult for the Lord, please forgive me."
With that said, Wei Chang bowed deeply.
Feng Junhou reacted:
"Little General Wei, are you afraid that Yang Changshi will say something bad to me?"
Wei Chang smiled awkwardly.
When Feng Junhou saw Wei Chang's magical turtle, he suddenly understood and couldn't help but smile:
"Is this part of the reason why General Zhenbei sent General Wei here? He was afraid that I would change my mind and not let him lead the army to pacify Shangdang."
Wei Chang's face became even more embarrassed.
Who said Wei Yan was a reckless man?
Aren't you very good at beating around the bush when it comes to military merit?
However, Wei Yan's reaction made Feng Junhou feel relieved a lot.
"I also ask General Wei to go back and tell General Zhenbei that although I am at odds with him, since I have accepted the Prime Minister's order, I will put the overall situation first."
"General Zhenbei is brave and good at fighting. If he really wants to perform meritorious service, I will only be happy and I will definitely not secretly obstruct him."
When Wei Chang heard this, excitement suddenly appeared on his face:
"You have a broad mind, and I will always admire you! Chang would like to thank you in advance for your Excellency!"
"It doesn't have to be like this. General Zhenbei and I are just contributing to the Han Dynasty. I hope General Zhenbei will succeed this time and make another contribution to the Han Dynasty."
"Thank you, Lord Jun! I will go back immediately and tell the Lord."
"Go ahead."
Wei Chang stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists heavily, and then turned around and walked out.
Feng Junhou looked at Wei Chang's back and smiled strangely.
Is this considered a gesture of goodwill from Wei Yan?
It's just that Feng Junhou's good mood did not last long.
Just after Wei Yan led his army to set off, an urgent message suddenly came:
