Chapter 1281 Change of situation, immigration to the border

 "Lu Boyan has returned to Jianye!"

Entering the late spring of the fifth year of Yanxi, the weather in Guanzhong has become slightly dry and warm.

Secretary Zhang wore a dark silver short coat with narrow hem and small sleeves, a short piece of pale yellow satin pleats underneath, a bow-knotted long-tasseled five-color palace sash tightly tied around his waist, and deerskin boots at his feet.

He held another document in his hand. The letter was gentle and showed a faint sense of competence, which was quite a bit like a female white-collar worker.

Seeing that Feng Da Sima's eyes were a little straightened, Secretary Zhang rolled his eyes at him and repeated in an accentuated tone:

"Lu Boyan has returned to Jianye!"

"Oh, I heard it." Feng Dasima then reached out to take the official document, flipped through it casually, and then threw it on the bed. "Which route did the news come back from?"

There were three lines in total when the news from Jingzhou was sent back to Chang'an.

The safest way is naturally to enter Shu from Nanjun to Yong'an, and then from Shu to Guanzhong.

At the same time, this is also the farthest and slowest route.

The nearest one is to cross the Han River from Jingzhou and go north, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Wei army, specifically looking for people to the rare and dangerous mountain trails, bypassing Caoqiao Pass, and then taking Wuguan Road to Wuguan.

Not using this item unless necessary is not only dangerous, but also exposes you to too much risk.

After the Wu State captured Xiangyang, Shangyong, sandwiched between Hanzhong, Xiangyang and Nanyang, became a semi-enclave of the Wei State, which can also be said to be a useless place.

Whether the Wu army is going upstream from Xiangyang or the Wei army is going to support from Nanyang, they must be wary of being attacked on the flank or even taking the retreat.

This is one of the reasons why Lu Xun did not immediately send troops to Shangyong after taking Xiangyang.

Only the Han army could flow down the river from Hanzhong without any scruples.

Therefore, Feng Da Sima had the confidence to ask for Shangyong.

The three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu all looked covetously at Shangyong.

At the center of the storm, Shangyong was in panic and fell into chaos.

The chaotic situation gives opportunities for those who are interested to take advantage of it.

The Xinghan Hui, which was about to infiltrate Jingzhou into a sieve, naturally could not miss this route.

This line is not only close, but also less risky.

Sure enough, I heard Secretary Zhang reply:

"It entered Hanzhong from Shangyong, and then passed through Ziwu Valley from Hanzhong to Chang'an."

Compared with Feng Da Sima's indifference, Secretary Zhang's eyebrows were quite happy.

But when he saw her lifting her skirt, sitting next to Feng Da Sima, she said happily:

"It seems that the letter written by Alang is still effective. Even Lu Xun does not dare to take it lightly."

If you want to arrange such a fatal situation against Lu Xun, you must not only have a deep understanding of people's hearts, especially Sun Quan's psychology.

Moreover, the game of the Wu Kingdom and even the military affairs of the various forces in Jingzhou and Shangyong areas must be taken into consideration.

Plus a little bit of foresight - historical foresight.

Of course, the most important thing is Ji Han's confidence.

Strong confidence is the foundation.

Secretary Zhang felt inexplicably excited to be able to participate in such a major event for the country and the temple.

After all, from the beginning, you have followed the man in front of you wholeheartedly. Isn't it because of the freedom and the pleasure of proving that women can't be inferior to men?

"In the battle of Yiling, the late emperor was defeated by Lu Xun, which put the country in extreme danger and almost threatened to overthrow."

"But the Prime Minister was still determined to re-alliance with Wu, and even later admitted that the two emperors of the East and West respected each other equally. Why?"

Feng Da Sima seemed to have expected this situation, and his expression was calm, "The Han Dynasty was weak at that time, and it wanted to seek help from Wu."

"However, today is no different than in the past. It is easy for Han and Wu to be strong or weak. Whether it is Sun Quan or Lu Xun, no matter how unwilling you are, you should know how difficult it is to go against the general trend."

"What's more," Feng Dasima said in a leisurely tone, relaxed and freehand with the confidence of seizing the opportunity, "Sun Quan is old!"

At this moment, probably no one except Feng has realized that the death of Sun Deng, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, was an extremely important historical turning point for the Wu Kingdom.

Sun Quan's ignorance in his later years is a major criticism often mentioned by later generations.

In particular, he deliberately provoked the dispute between the two palaces in Nanlu, causing almost all important officials in the Wu Kingdom to fall deeply into the whirlpool of party strife.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, this was simply a mysterious operation.

However, when Feng Dashima experienced this era personally, he vaguely guessed the possible reasons.

This operation of Sun Quan's wisdom is possible, but it is not a mystery at all.

the reason is simple:

Sun Quan is old!

He felt that he no longer had the time and energy, and God might not give him another chance to train another successor like Sun Deng did.

In order to select a qualified heir from among his many sons, he had no choice but to use the most intense, cruel, yet also the most effective and fastest method - raising Gu.

At the same time, he also took this opportunity to clear all obstacles in the government and the opposition for the successors of the Sun family.

Lu Xun, who had great achievements and had guarded the western half of Wu State's Yuzhang for more than ten years, and whose reputation in the government and the public was unmatched, must be Sun Quan's target.

Not to mention that Lu Xun was also a representative of the Jiangdong clan.

Not only for the sake of stabilizing the position of the future emperor of the Sun family, Lu Xun was basically doomed to a tragic fate based on the grudges between the Sun family and the Jiangdong clan.

As long as Sun Quan had any political acumen, it would be impossible for him to leave Lu Xun to the next emperor.

In other words, leave Lu Xun, who holds the real power, to the next emperor.

Feng Da Sima, on the other hand, just took advantage of the situation and gave Wu Jun and his ministers a gentle push.

"If Lu Xun never returned to Jingzhou after going to Jianye, then we can be sure that Sun Quan must have had a grudge against him."

Feng Da Sima suppressed his smile and even sighed vaguely:

"My letter just gave Sun Quan an excuse."

Why is there such a saying as "sweeping the tiger away from the mountain"?

Because only by finding ways to move the tiger away from its familiar territory can we find an opportunity to strike.

The same reason would apply if Sun Quan transferred Lu Xun away from Jingzhou.

Secretary Zhang looked at Feng Da Sima with a strange expression:

"Sounds like a pity to you?"

"Yes," Feng Da Sima was not afraid to deny this in front of Secretary Zhang Da, "Lu Xun is a great talent, loyal and sincere, and has made many great contributions to the state of Wu."

"It's a pity that Sun Quan seems to be open-minded and generous, but in fact he is mean and ungrateful. If he had an opinion about Lu Xun, Lu Xun might not have a happy ending. It's a pity..."

Zhang Xiaosi's expression became even weirder:

"You have planned this on others, and yet you feel pity for them here. This can be said to be a dazzling display of jade and jade. What a clever word!"

Feng Da Sima clicked his tongue and said dissatisfied:

"I sympathize with Lu Xun because of his character and talent; I attack him because he is my opponent and there is no conflict between the two."

He glanced at Zhang Xiaosi and said, "If the situation changes, Lu Xun might do the same."

"Changing places?" Secretary Zhang's eyes flashed, "What do you mean?"

She subconsciously looked outside, then turned her head again and lowered her voice:

"There hasn't been much movement in the palace recently, right? What are you..."

"What are you thinking about?" Feng Da Sima clicked his tongue again, feeling that he couldn't explain clearly to this suspicious woman, "Talk about Sun Quan and Lu Xun, why are they involved in the palace again?"

"Oh, I thought...hehe."

Only then did Zhang Xiaosi realize that he had thought too much, and felt a little embarrassed:

"Speaking of which, Alang managed to transfer Lu Xun away from Jingzhou and asked Ma Di to assist your two disciples to attack Shangyong. I actually love them."

"I just hope they can understand your hard work as a gentleman and don't let people down."

"It doesn't matter if you lose. Who is born to know how to fight? Isn't it all practiced step by step?"

Feng Da Sima didn't care, "Anyway, Shangyong is there, and he can't escape. If you lose the first time, you should sum up your experience and lessons and fight again."

Lu Xun left Jingzhou, and the generals of the Wu army in Xiangyang no longer had anything to fear.

As for the Wei army in Nanyang, it was not that easy to rescue Shangyong.

Could Shangyong become a good place for novices to gain experience?

Both Luo Xian and Fu Qian have good talents, and together with Ma Su, it is more than enough to be considered mediocre.

Over the years, Ma Su has been forced to do practical work and gain experience.

The problem of being too ambitious and too weak should be corrected after so many years.

After all, even a pig, after experiencing so many things, knows that he has eaten too much.

"As for things in the south, we can just watch the show and don't have to worry too much."

"If you don't worry about things in the south, then let's talk about things in the north?"

"What's going on in the north?"

"Shi Zhongrong, the governor of Shangdang, moved very quickly. As soon as the weather got warmer, he sent the first batch of people who were going to move to Jiuyuan."

"oh?"

When Feng Da Sima heard this, his spirits perked up and he sat up straight: "How many people are there?"

"There were more than four hundred and nearly five hundred people, all of whom were local wealthy families. They were accused of either collaborating with thieves or capital thieves. The masterminds were executed, their property was deprived of their citizenship, and the three tribes were exiled to Henan and Hejian (i.e. Hetao)."

Secretary Zhang took a breath and felt a cool breath between his teeth.

Feng Da Sima glanced at Zhang Xiaosi.

Si Niang is still much softer than her elder sister.

If it were Zhang Xingcai, he probably wouldn't even blink.

"Is the evidence conclusive?"

"Most of them were reported by others, and we haven't found anything fabricated out of thin air yet."

"Then follow the procedures. No matter how many people are sent, as long as they are not wronged, they will all be dealt with according to the set rules."

As for why so many people were implicated at once, do you still need to ask?

Because some people want to grow cotton in Guandong quickly, and some want to use Tongyi to accumulate capital and then make a comeback.

It is cruel to treat one's own people against one's own people.

Coupled with the push from the government.

With the rolling momentum and fierce tide, there are always people who are going to be the fuel and price of this era, right?

Who is the one?

The first batch of fuel and price must be those who lost the bet.

Who told you to be on the wrong team?

------------------

The Qinzhi Road starting from Chang'an has been like a major artery, closely connecting Guanzhong and Henan since the first day it was built.

Controlling Henan not only means that there will be a steady stream of war horses, but it also means that the northern part of Guanzhong has the thickest barrier.

You can even "expand China" and use this as the "foundation to eliminate Hu".

The Qin Dynasty, the Early Han Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty never formally gave up trying to control Henan for hundreds of years. The biggest reason was precisely based on this.

In the early years, Feng Da Sima traveled thousands of miles and led the army eastward from Liangzhou into Henan, killing tens of thousands of Hu cavalry.

Later, it was suggested that the imperial court should set up the Jiuyuan Dudufu to once again actually control this Guanzhong barrier.

When Emperor Ji Han moved the capital to Chang'an, for the sake of the stability of Guanzhong and the war horses in the army, it was impossible to abandon the national policy that had lasted for hundreds of years.

Over the years, although Ji Han suffered from the fact that the thieves were not eliminated and the treasury was tight, he never thought of giving up Henan.

On the contrary, driven by Feng Da Sima, the imperial court continued to adopt various policies and tried every means to make it a real Han Dynasty again.

And if you want it to become a Han land, you need Han people.

At this time, a Han team was walking on the Qinzhi Road winding around Qiaoshan.

Their direction was exactly to Jiuyuan in the north.

The Qinzhi Road on Qiaoshan Mountain is built on the ridge of the mountain. Walking on it, you can directly overlook the mountain below.

At this time, Qiaoshan was covered with lush trees. Looking from Qinzhidao, one could see everything in front of the eyes.

Looking back, the mountains are stacked on top of each other as far as the eye can see, and Chang'an is no longer visible.

It makes people suddenly feel a sense of sadness.

"Don't stop, don't look back, don't dawdle, it's not time to rest yet."

There was a scolding sound in my ears.

Feng Chuan quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and walked again.

There were men and women around him. Many of them had sad expressions on their faces, but they did not dare to cry aloud.

After climbing over the main peak of Qiaoshan, continue to the north, and the mountain becomes lower and lower until you enter the flatland.

The Qiaoshan Mountains were like a giant beast lying behind them, preventing them from turning back and returning to their hometown and the Central Plains.

More and more people have turned from sadness to despair, and in the end only numbness is left.

All I could do was follow the team forward, heading north.

The forest sea that blocked out the sky gradually turned into sparse bushes.

From the jungle, it turned into waist-high grassland.

At night, you can even hear the howling of hungry wolves not far away.

Fortunately, Feng Chuan's team has been walking on the straight road to Qin.

After years of renovation, although Qinzhi Road is not as it was in its heyday, both sides of the road are lined with post stations, military forts, and even palaces.

But every once in a while, the Jihan court would build a post office.

Next to many postal stations, there are even temporary warehouses and guesthouses belonging to the Xinghan Society.

With the post office as the center, a number of resting places for business travelers gradually formed.

These places can provide people like Feng Chuan with hot water, food, and a place to rest.

On the road, you can even occasionally see horse teams passing by.

Although it is only occasional, it shows that the connection between the north and Guanzhong is becoming increasingly close again.

The further north you go, the more severely damaged the trees planted on both sides of Qinzhi Road are.

Feng Chuan also noticed that there were some ungrown trees on both sides of the damaged road section.

Obviously, this was most likely replanted by the imperial court.

Thanks to the convenience of Qin Zhidao, the actual treatment of people like Feng Chuan seems to be much better than the imagined exile in the frontier.

In addition to being able to replenish food at the post station, there are even medical staff accompanying the team.

Although except for two medical workers who seemed to have some experience, the remaining ones were all young and had not even lost the hair on their lips.

But in this case, even a little hope can be comforting.

It is precisely because of what they saw and heard along the way that Feng Chuan and others, after experiencing sadness, despair, and then numbness, could not help but feel a glimmer of hope:

Perhaps, Jiuyuan's side is not as bad as he imagined?

This kind of mentality, rather than having a ten thousandth of hope, is better to say that I will not die until I reach the river and comfort myself.

Gradually, after passing through the desolate and uninhabited grassland, the scenery ahead seemed to begin to change again.

Not only did my mouth and nose feel moist, but the breeze blowing over me also had a faint smell of mutton, as well as the smell of cattle and sheep excrement.

When they saw an extremely huge silver belt and the herds of cattle and sheep surrounding the silver belt, Wuyuan arrived.
