In March of the third year of Jianxing, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty led his army to march south.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty bestowed upon him a golden axe, one with a curved lid, one each with Yu Bao and sixty men at the front and rear, and sixty men to support his father during his southern expedition.
Ten miles outside Jincheng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty personally led his ministers to send Prime Minister Zhuge Liang off to the south.
Flags were flying, soldiers were arrayed, swords and guns were flashing with white light, adding a bit of murderous aura to the sky.
At this time, Jincheng had begun to warm up.
But in this solemn atmosphere, it seemed that the temperature had been lowered again.
"Nanzhong is a place of miasma. Since my father-in-law is gone, I hope you will take better care of your health. In the Han Dynasty, my father-in-law is rare. Dou stayed in Jincheng, hoping day and night for my father-in-law's early triumphant return."
A Dou looked at his father's spotted temples and bowed deeply.
"Since I have been entrusted by the late emperor and my majesty has placed my trust in you, how dare I not serve you to the death?"
Zhuge Liang quickly bowed and returned the courtesy.
"My father-in-law has left, and Dou feels helpless in his heart. Before leaving, could you tell me when I will be able to return? It would also reassure me."
Adou looked at the ministers and soldiers who were far away and asked in a low voice.
"The clown in Nanzhong is not enough to be a formidable enemy. It's just that the journey is far away. It takes one month to go and one month to return. Plus half a year to calm down the chaos, we can return at the end of the year."
Zhuge Liang looked at Adou and said comfortingly, "Whether General Wei is blocking Cao's thieves in the north, Sun Wu is an ally in the east, and the veterans of Jincheng also have Xiang Juda, Fei Wenwei, Dong Xiuzhao and others, who are enough to assist Your Majesty.
Handle political affairs."
"Zhao Zilong has a high reputation in the army. With him here, Jincheng will be safe and sound. Your Majesty, just relax."
Adou nodded and said, "In that case, Dou can rest assured and wait for my father-in-law to return at the end of the year. The stability of Nanzhong will be troublesome to my father-in-law."
"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations. I will go now!"
Zhuge Liang saluted again, then turned around, raised the long sword symbolizing the seal of command, and ordered, "Let's go!"
Orders were passed down from level to level, and the previously motionless military formation suddenly began to come alive.
I saw groups of soldiers squirming slowly towards the south like snakes, and then moved faster and faster, raising waves of dust, and finally turned into yellow sand all over the sky...
Feng Yong was not qualified to stand among the important ministers to see off Zhuge Liang. He could only stand on the edge of the crowd and watch from a distance.
Looking at the orderly troops and the high-spirited soldiers, silently but firmly following the flag in front of them heading south, Feng Yong couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for Zhuge Liang in his heart.
Two years ago, the Han Dynasty lost its troops and territory. The army had no fighting spirit and the people had no confidence.
Two years later, the Han Dynasty was able to regroup, not only allowing the people to work with peace of mind, but also the soldiers' appearance was so solemn, which is really rare.
"Beat the drums and boring them, and use the troops enthusiastically. I will go south alone with the city and canals of the earth country... The agreement between life and death is broad, and I said it to my son. I will hold my son's hand and grow old with him. I am sighing that it is vast, but I am not alive. I am sighing.
Damn it, I don’t believe it.”
I don’t know where the singing came from, the sound was melodious and ethereal.
As soon as the singing ended, loud cheers came from the farewell people: "Cai!"
Then someone else was fencing and singing: "How can I say that I have no clothes? I wear the same robe as my son. The king raised his troops and repaired my sword and spear..."
For a time, many people started singing along.
Looking at everything that was gradually rising in front of him, Feng Yong felt a breath reverberating in his chest, almost ready to burst out.
He turned around and said to Li Yi and Yang Wanwan who were following behind him, "Let's go! Back to the city!"
After saying that, he ordered Buqu to bring the horses over, get on top of them, tighten the ropes, and the horses under him let out a long neigh, and each man and the horse rushed forward like an arrow off the string.
"Brother is good at riding!"
Li Yi followed behind and praised loudly from a distance.
The closer he got to Jincheng, the more pedestrians there were. Feng Yong only sprinted for three or four miles before he had to rein in his horse and walk for a walk.
Although the journey was not long, Feng Yong finally let out the breath in his chest and felt refreshed and relaxed.
Thinking about it just now, it was like I was suddenly buffed, and my riding skills suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.
Mount the horse, start, accelerate, all in one go, without any unnecessary movements.
Yang Wanwan was born in Di and had superb riding skills, but he followed Feng Yong closely throughout the whole process.
After a while, Li Yi also arrived. He smiled cheerfully at Feng Yong and said, "Looking at my brother's riding skills, I know how majestic my big man is!"
"The great Han Dynasty..." Feng Yong repeated, laughing, "I hope the great Han Dynasty will never fall, and the Prime Minister will definitely show his power in Nanyi. Let's go and meet those people."
In Jincheng, the restaurant opened by the Huang family will not entertain outsiders today, only specific guests.
The largest open space in the restaurant has been renovated, and a screen has been placed around it to create a large space, which is then filled with tables and tables.
Many people were already sitting on the tables, and people came in one after another, and each found a place to sit down.
Some people sat alone in a corner and remained silent, while others specifically found a table near someone they knew and sat down.
Among them, the one sitting closest to the main seat receives the most special attention from others, and almost everyone who comes in has to say hello to the person sitting there.
This person has a handsome face and an upright sitting posture. He looks very graceful and noble. He has a warm spring breeze smile on his face, which makes people feel close to him at first sight.
Many people were surprised when they saw him, and secretly thought, how could he be here?
No one came in for a long time, and everyone thought that everyone was here. Suddenly, the curtain at the door was opened, and another person slowly walked in.
The visitor looked around at everyone and smiled, "It seems that Deng is late."
Hearing this man speak, everyone stood up one after another, "Deng Langjun ordered your Excellency to see off the Prime Minister. It is normal that you are late."
"Yes, yes, unlike me, who can only watch from a distance, so I naturally have to go back to the city faster this time."
…
Although he was talking to Deng Langjun, everyone had surprise in their eyes and couldn't help but look at each other secretly.
The size of this banquet seems to be beyond my imagination?
"Mr. Deng, why don't you just sit on this case?"
The elegant and elegant Master Junya finally spoke, and pointed to the table opposite him with a smile, "It seems that everyone is almost here, and no one should be more suitable to sit in these two seats today than you and me.
."
Deng Langjun looked around and saw that except for that table, all the other tables were occupied.
At that moment, he had no choice but to cup his hands and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Mr. Deng."
After Deng Langjun sat down, he asked the young master opposite, "How come Mi Langjun is here?"
Mr. Junya smiled calmly, "Don't you, Mr. Deng, know what my ancestor of the Mi family does? It's not strange that I appear here, right? It's the fact that Mr. Deng appears here that makes people feel strange."
"It's not surprising," Deng Langjun waved his hand, "Your Excellency went to Soochow as an envoy and made good friends with Envoy Zhang who came to Sichuan last year. Envoy Zhang has been a close friend of Feng Langjun for a long time and even asked him to deliver a letter to Feng Langjun.
Therefore, my master told me to get closer to Feng Langjun."
