Feng Yong patted the silk cloth on the case and sighed, "I have Boyan to help me, so why should Longxi be worried?"
Then he looked at Gongsun Zheng and said, "As the captain of the Qiang Protector, I am in charge of the affairs of Longyou and the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou. It is precisely because I lack talents like Boyan who are familiar with the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou. It's a pity. I wish I could have known him earlier. Boyan!"
He does not mean that.
Of course, it is also possible that Feng Yong said this deliberately.
But hearing about Gongsun Zheng, who joined the army in Longxi, made his heart move.
Although Xiangwu finally took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender during the Han's Northern Expedition, it cannot be denied that the Han lost many soldiers under Xiangwu City.
After the Han army entered Xiangwu, the prime minister did not make many adjustments to the officials in Xiangwu in order to preserve the overall situation and appease people's hearts.
But Gongsun Zheng knew that in fact, the original main officials in Longxi only acted in name only and did not have much real power at all.
And according to his estimation, this situation will last for as long as a year or as little as half a year. Once the situation in Longxi has completely stabilized, the Han Dynasty will make adjustments again.
If your idea is right, then if you can take the initiative to retire, in addition to leaving room for the future, you may also be able to get a chance to make a comeback in the future.
More importantly, Feng Junhou is a captain who protects the Qiang and specializes in Qiang and Hu affairs. If he can follow Junhou and show his talents, will he be afraid that he will not be able to regain the ancestral land of the Gongsun family in Didao?
It's just that today's meeting is the second meeting with Feng Junhou. It would be rude to take the initiative to defect to Feng Junhou just because of the other person's words.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zheng just suppressed his thoughts and secretly thought that just by virtue of today's friendship, it can be regarded as leaving a relationship for the future.
Feng Yong didn't know what Gongsun Zheng was thinking. After he said this, he saw that Gongsun Zheng didn't follow the words, so he just thought he was declining.
So he asked again, "I heard that Boyan and the former Longxi Governor You Zhongyun were good friends. I wonder if You Zhongyun is well now?"
Gongsun Zheng didn't know why Feng Yong mentioned You Chu, and his heart tightened slightly. After all, when the Han Dynasty attacked Longxi, Zhong Yun was the governor.
Later, when Xiangwu surrendered from Kaicheng, everyone was present, except Zhongyun who avoided serving.
Now Feng Junhou mentions Zhong Yun, but he doesn’t know what he means?
"Returning to the throne, since Xiangwu returned to the Han Dynasty, Zhongyun has been staying at his house and rarely goes out. Even if he does come out occasionally, he has never left Xiangwu City."
Gongsun Zheng quickly replied.
Feng Yong heard Gongsun Zheng's worry, and immediately smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Boyan. I asked You Zhongyun not for any other reason, but because I have a happy event that I want to tell him."
Whether he surrenders voluntarily or surrenders after being defeated, the final fate of the surrendered general always depends on the mood and mind of the victor.
It is rare that You Chu, the former governor of Longxi, could stay in Xiangwu safely and have a certain degree of freedom after he refused to serve as an official in the Han Dynasty.
After all, You Chu is still very popular in Longxi. Keeping him in Xiangwu and doing nothing can appease people's hearts.
But if he is ignorant and wants to take the opportunity to escape back to Guanzhong, it is not impossible. It is necessary to face many difficulties, and the possibility of being chased back is very high.
And no one else can blame you for what kind of consequences you will face after being chased back.
After all, not everyone is as lucky as Liao Hua.
However, judging from You Chu's behavior in the past few months, it seems that he has no intention of struggling. Not only does he not want to leave Xiangwu City, he rarely even leaves the door of the mansion.
On the contrary, when Gongsun Zheng heard Feng Yong talking about his good friend's happy event, he couldn't help but be stunned.
With Zhongyun's current situation, what other happy events can he expect?
"Yes, it's a happy event." Feng Yong stood up and said with a smile, "I originally wanted someone to send a greeting card to You Zhongyun today, but I didn't expect that I would fall in love with Boyan at the first sight."
"Wen Boyan and You Zhongyun are close friends, so I thought, how about letting Boyan take me to visit them?"
"The king has his orders, how dare you disobey them?"
Gongsun Zheng quickly stood up.
As the former governor of Longxi, although You Chu moved away from the governor's mansion, he already had a palace in Xiangwu City, and it was still in a good location.
Feng Yong and his party followed Gongsun Zheng to the front of You Mansion, and saw that the door of the mansion was wide open and there was not even a concierge.
Seeing Gongsun Zheng taking the lead and walking in, Feng Yong asked, "Bo Yan, my presumptuous visit is too unexpected. Why don't you let someone know first?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zheng turned around and explained with a smile, "When I return to the lord, Zheng and Zhong Yun do not need to be so polite. The same is true for Zhong Yun when he goes to my house. You, lord, please do so."
After hearing this, Feng Yong walked up the steps.
When I stepped through the gate, I saw a wall of shadows coming my way.
After bypassing the screen wall, it suddenly dawned on me that the stones under the steps formed a corridor, leading directly to the hall of the mansion.
The door of the hall was also wide open, and there were figures moving inside, and at the same time, the sound of strings and bamboos could be heard.
"This You Zhongyun is probably enjoying singing and dancing again."
Gongsun Zheng saw the situation in the hall, turned around and said, "You Zhongyun is good at singing and dancing. There are not many books in the study room of his house, but there are many musical instruments. He is proficient in pipa, zither and Xiao."
Feng Yong nodded and smiled, "Everyone in the world still studies Confucian classics, but You Zhongyun is not afraid of what others say and follows his own heart."
As soon as Feng Yong finished speaking, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped. At the same time, someone came out with a loud voice like a bell, "Just say that I am an ignorant person."
Gongsun Zheng's expression changed.
Feng Yong laughed loudly, "Ban Gu, in the Book of Han, once said that Huo Guang did not learn the art of death and was inferior to Dali. Now that I heard You Zhongyun's words, we can see his ambition!"
"Although I know that the visitor's words are just flattery, my heart is still very happy. Huo Guang is ranked first among the eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion. How can Chu Hede dare to compare with him?"
You Chu walked down the steps, skipping Gongsun Zheng at the front, and his eyes fell on Feng Yong, "Anyone who can be led into the mansion by Boyan in person must be an honored guest. May I ask who the guest is?"
"Feng Yong of Jincheng took the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me, the master."
Feng Yong raised his hand.
Hearing Feng Yong's self-report, You Chu's eyes narrowed and his expression became solemn, "Feng Langjun, Marquis of Jiequanting?"
This name... isn't bad!
Feng Yong smiled broadly and said modestly, "This visit is just for a private visit, not as a prince. You don't need to take it to heart whether you are a prince or not."
You Chu looked Feng Yong up and down carefully, and then sighed, "I have heard about Feng Yong for a long time, and now I finally meet the real person. I didn't expect him to be so young. He really cannot be tolerated." .”
Feng Yongyi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and saw that although he was short in stature and had to raise his head when standing in front of him, he looked extremely capable.
His cheekbones are slightly high, and his thick eyebrows hide a pair of bright, shining eyes.
Even when he sighed, his voice was loud and clear, without any hint of decadence.
Feng Yongyi said with a smile, "I also thought that General You was indulging in sensuality, which must have meant he was depressed, but I didn't expect that he was in high spirits."
When You Chu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Feng Langjun, please."
Gongsun Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that his good friend had always been straightforward and outspoken, and he was just afraid that Feng Junhou would have a grudge in his heart after hearing his words.
After all, Jia Wenhe was also from Liangzhou, and Feng Langjun was dubbed Xiao Wenhe. How could Gongsun Zheng not know?
If he offends this "cruel little Wenhe", who knows what will happen with Zhongyun's current situation?
"When I first came in, I seemed to hear the sound of silk and bamboo? But I don't know what song Youjun was listening to?"
After sitting down separately for host and guest in the hall, Feng Yong asked.
You Chu laughed again and pointed at Feng Yong, "It's a coincidence. I also have questions to ask Feng Langjun about the song just now."
When Feng Yong heard this, he asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this?"
"Dark clouds are pressing down on the city to destroy it, and the armor's light is shining towards the golden scales of the sun."
You Chu began to chant.
When Feng Yong heard this, he said "Hey" in his heart. Isn't this the poem I used to flatter Adou and Old Demon Zhuge when I returned to Jincheng from the Southern Expedition?
While he was muttering in his mind, Guan Ji, who was sitting next to him, and Gongsun Zheng, who was sitting across from him, subconsciously raised their eyes to look at him.
You Chu over there has already begun to pat the table and beat the rhythm: "The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, and it is filled with swallow fat and the night is purple. A half-rolled red flag is facing the Yishui, and the heavy frost and drums can't make any sound."
The voice became louder and louder.
"Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you."
"Report your wishes on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you."
"Report your wishes on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you."
…
If it happens again and again, it will stop.
After singing, You Chu looked at Feng Yong and said, "This poem came from Shu, but it is not clear who wrote it. Someone heard that the only people in Shu who can write such articles are monarchs."
"Chu loves singing and dancing. When he first heard this article, he asked the singers in his house to sing for three days without stopping. He just wished he could not get to know the person who wrote this article so that he could express his ambition."
The more You Chu spoke, the more urgent his tone became, his eyes blazing, "I wonder if you, Lord, can help Chu clear up his doubts as to who wrote this article?"
When the Emperor of the Han Dynasty welcomed the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the Xinghan Hui took out this poem and read it aloud. At that time, they did not explain who the author was, although later it was rumored that it was written by the leader of the Han Dynasty.
But Feng Yong has never admitted it personally in public.
At this time, You Chu asked, Feng Junhou's face felt a little hot, he coughed dryly, and then he sighed, "I would rather never, um, never write this poem."
"With such a fine article, what is there that you are not satisfied with? How can you have ideas that you have never written before?"
After receiving Feng Yong's recognition, Gongsun Zheng couldn't wait to interrupt before You Chu could speak.
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that You Jun read this article to me because he wants to keep the integrity of Cao Wei." At this point, Feng Yong looked at You Chu, "But I don't know if You Jun read it when he was guarding Xiangwu City. This poem?”
"Okay!" You Chu slapped the table, his face turned red, and he looked very excited. He said loudly, "Feng Hou is my best friend!"
"To be honest, I did read this article when I was standing at the top of Xiangwu City, looking at the army below the city! Come here, serve the wine, and let me offer a toast to Marquis Feng!"
Looking at this large-scale palace and hearing what Gongsun Zheng said before, Feng Yong guessed that Chu Youchu was not a person who was content with simplicity.
At this time, I heard that he asked someone to bring wine, so I was not surprised that there was wine in the house.
In my heart, I lamented that even with the prosperity of Shu, wine had to be banned; however, in Longxi of Cao Wei, wine could still be made, which shows the gap in national power between the two.
Guan Ji saw You Chu pouring wine for Feng Yong himself, and then poured herself another glass. There was still worry in her eyes, signaling Feng Yong to be careful.
Feng Yong gave her a comforting look.
Seeing You Chu about to raise his glass again, he stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'm here this time because I have a happy event that I want to tell You Jun. After I finish telling you about this happy event, You Jun will only be happier and drink this cup again." Wine, I'm afraid it will be more flavorful."
You Chu said "Oh" and said with a smile, "I never thought that a certain person would have such a happy event that Marquis Feng would come to congratulate him in person?"
"You Jun's parents died early, and one of his brothers also died of illness a few years ago. Now there is only a wife, two concubines, and a son and a daughter in the family. Is this right?"
When You Chu heard Feng Yong's words, his expression changed drastically.
"What do you mean by your words?"
Feng Yong noticed that his hand was holding the case and his body was still shaking slightly.
"Don't be nervous," Feng Yong smiled calmly, "If you are right, all of Youjun's family members have arrived in Hanzhong by now."
Hearing this, You Chu's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief.
"Is this true?"
This time, not only You Chu, but also Gongsun Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, and they both asked in unison.
"Why did I lie to Youjun?" Feng Yong smiled slightly, "I came here this time to escort Youjun back to Hanzhong to be with his family."
You Chu stood up suddenly, his lips were trembling, and he looked at Feng Yong intently, obviously wanting to say something, but couldn't for a while.
Finally, he bowed deeply to Feng Yong.
"That's great, Zhong Yun, now you don't have to worry anymore."
Gongsun Zheng stepped forward, helped him up, and said happily.
You Chu held Gongsun Zheng's hand, nodded, and opened his mouth, not knowing where to start from a thousand words.
Although in this battle of Longyou, even Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, Hao Zhao, the general guarding Hexi, and even Zhang and other court generals suffered consecutive defeats.
Therefore, the governor of Longxi may not be held accountable.
However, according to the laws of Wei, those who are disadvantageous in defending the territory will be severely punished.
And he is trapped in an enemy country, who knows if his family will be implicated?
Unexpectedly, the Han State would think of ways to move his family out of the Wei State.
Thinking of this, You Chu trembled and saluted Feng Yong again, "The great man has done so much kindness to you, but You Chu can't even repay it with his broken body. Thinking about his previous attempt to fight against the heavenly soldiers, he is really ashamed."
"You Jun was a minister of Wei at that time, and it was the duty of a minister to be loyal to Wei. What's the shame?" Feng Yong stepped forward and helped You Chu up. "You Jun has been guarding Longxi for a long time and has won the hearts of the people of Longxi."
"The great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty, if there are loyal people like You Jun to help us, is there any reason why it cannot be achieved?"
You Chu did not refuse this time, "How dare Chu not do his best?"
"Okay!" Feng Yong was overjoyed, "Win!"
You Chu quickly raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then poured wine for Feng Yong himself and toasted three glasses in a row.
Then he laughed loudly and said, "It's worth getting drunk today!"
After drinking for three rounds, You Chu finally asked, "May I ask you, Lord, how a certain family member managed to leave Wei and enter Han safely?"
Feng Yong pretended to have a profound smile, "Thanks to the ranger."
"Ranger?"
You Chu and Gongsun Zheng were stunned and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Gongsun Zheng had been to Nanxiang. He suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "A knight's visit?"
Feng Yong said "Hey", "I didn't expect that Boyan also knew how to be a knight!"
At this time, Gongsun Zheng relaxed his mind and said calmly, "In recent years, Nanxiang has been rich in woolen cloth, and many wealthy families in Liangzhou have secretly entered the Hanzhong Yi market."
"Out of curiosity, I also disguised myself as a member of the caravan and went to Nanxiang to see it, so I know a little bit about it."
After Gongsun Zheng came back, although he talked about talking to You Chu, he had never seen him in person, so he was a little confused, "What does this matter have to do with the Nanxiang Ranger?"
Gongsun Zheng smiled at You Chu and said, "Zhong Yun doesn't know something. The Nanxiang knight calls himself a hero for the country and the people."
Then he looked at Feng Yong again, his eyes filled with surprise and even more admiration.
"At this time, I thought of the bounty from the Knights. Could it be that the monarch came up with it? In this way, the knights can be used by the country."
Feng Yong waved his hand and said modestly, "It's just a small skill."
"A small skill?" Gongsun Zheng was stunned, but he quickly realized, "But Yu Yang Xiong's 'boy's seal carving'?"
After thinking about it, I felt that these words were more wonderful, "You are a great talent!"
You Chu, who was listening to the side, was anxious and couldn't help but asked, "Junhou, what are the details of this matter? Can you talk to someone?"
