Bald Hair Ministry’s first plan was to open up a new pasture, and wanted to turn the Bohan area into his winter pasture in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, after coming over, I discovered the miscellany in their eyes. At this time, they joined forces, and the number of people was a bit unexpected.
So he changed his plan and wanted to start his old profession: robbery.
Taking Baishi City at the edge of Longxi County as the tribe's stronghold, they raided to the north and west to plunder the Zahu tribe in the Fuhan area.
At the same time, before the Zahu who besieged Didao could react, Tufa Tianli led his troops and headed southeast, preparing to bypass Didao and cross the Taoshui River to find Feng Langjun, who had sworn an alliance with him back then.
He had no idea that he had taken the first step and picked Feng Langjun's fruit.
Spring has begun, and people in Shouyang are already feeling signs of warming.
Amei and Li Mu have been sleeping for two months, and their stomachs are still flat. They eat well on weekdays and sleep soundly every night.
The most important thing is that neither of them showed any desire to vomit.
Guan Ji is still satisfied with this.
As for the two girls who are becoming more and more radiant these days, Guan Ji said there is no pressure at all.
Not to mention that her beauty has not diminished, even if she becomes a yellow-faced woman, as long as she stands there with a big belly, what are two concubines?
Even Feng Junhou had to serve him carefully.
"Alang is reluctant to leave?"
Li Mu's car drove away, and when she saw Feng Yong still looking eastward, Guan Ji felt a little disgusted on her face.
Staying at home every day is not an option.
Hearing A Lang say that pregnant women should exercise appropriately, Guan Ji took advantage of her good health and followed Li Mu out to see him off.
"But the daughter of an aristocratic family is well-born and well-behaved. She can also be a secretary or something during the day, helping to handle affairs..."
Feng Yong said "tsk": "Isn't Xijun the one who has the final say on the matter of taking concubines? Could it be that Xijun regrets it?"
"Heartless!"
When Guan Ji heard this, she was furious and kicked her over.
Feng Junhou said "Ouch" and almost fell to the ground in pain.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand and almost pulled it on Guan Ji's sleeve. Then he suddenly turned around and tightened his grip on Amei's hand behind him to prevent himself from falling.
"Please don't get angry, Mr. Xi, and be careful not to cause fetal irritation."
After Feng Yong stood firm, he quickly stepped forward and comforted him, "I was just thinking about things in the east. It's not about reluctance. Please don't misunderstand me."
Guan Ji already regretted it after kicking him out.
Seeing him like this again made me feel even more guilty.
"Alang, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. I just feel uncomfortable. I just felt like I was possessed..."
"I know, I know!" Feng Yong hurriedly coaxed, "Pregnant women are like this, with unstable tempers. This is normal."
What's the point of losing your temper?
Pregnant women are very emotionally unstable and it is normal for them to be unreasonable, and sometimes they can simply lose their temper.
Guan Ji's reaction was already trying to control her emotions.
Even during her pregnancy, she was afraid that her husband would have no place to vent his anger and would personally arrange for a woman to take a concubine in the house. In future generations, she would be scolded for being willing to be humble.
Feng Yong was very satisfied to meet a woman like Guan Ji.
When Guan Ji saw Feng Yong's protective look, she couldn't control herself even more and almost burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Feng Yong quickly helped her wipe away her tears, "If you cry too much, it will hurt your body."
Guan Ji said stubbornly: "That's not true! I cried and felt better."
"Yeah, that's right. Crying properly is good for your physical and mental health."
Feng Yong followed her words and said casually.
When Guan Ji heard this, she burst into tears and smiled: "Whenever Alang speaks, everything becomes reasonable."
"Do you think I'm lying to you? I have no knowledge!"
Feng Yong wiped away the tears on her face, then put his gloves back on and curled his lips, "Do you know what it means to be illiterate? It's just like you."
"When you encounter something unhappy or sad, if you cry, you will feel better."
"Didn't you also tell me when we were in Nanxiang that if you talk to someone about anything you have on your mind, you will feel much better. It's the same principle."
Feng Yong said as he helped her walk back.
Guan Ji turned her head and thought for a moment, "When did I say this to Alang?"
It’s over, this “one pregnancy leads to three years of stupidity” has started to appear?
"Why didn't you say that? You even used yourself as an example at that time, saying that the Prime Minister's wife taught you the same way."
Guan Ji hit Feng Yong angrily, "What are you, Mrs. Prime Minister? You should be called aunt now. Don't make your aunt unhappy then, I won't be able to save you."
"Okay, isn't this called getting used to it?"
"By the way, Ah Lang just said that he was thinking about things in the east. Can he talk to me about it?"
Look, you say you don’t mind, but in fact you still have doubts in your heart, right?
"It's nothing. I'm just a little worried about Zhao Guang."
When Guan Ji heard this, she suddenly asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Erlang?"
Listen, again?
Well, it is indeed "again".
"Do you remember, Mr. Xi, that last time Yuezhi City was attacked and destroyed by Cao's thieves?"
"Of course I remember. Didn't this happen last month?"
Feng Yong sighed and said: "Yes, what happened last month. That Yuezhi City was under the jurisdiction of Zhao Guang, let alone how Yuezhi City was lost."
"Old General Zhao is very strict in running the army. From childhood to adulthood, he scolded Erlang in the lightest way and used sticks in the most severe cases. More importantly, the Governor of Longyou is Old General Zhao."
"In order to avoid suspicion, General Zhao will not spare Erlang lightly. So I think Erlang will not be able to pass this test."
"Even if the winter is bitterly cold and no matter how difficult it is to get news back and forth, more than a month has passed and the news of Erlang's punishment should have arrived."
"I just sent Li Mu away, thinking that she would pass through Jicheng, so I thought of this."
When Guan Ji heard these words, she suddenly realized: "When A Lang said this, I remembered that there was such a thing."
She looked around and saw that there were indeed people she could rely on.
Then he said softly: "Erlang is Alang's most important helper, and he is the face of the Xinghan Society. This time, Alang doesn't seem to be helping Erlang much?"
Feng Yong gave a bitter smile and pointed to the sky and then to the east.
"With the weather and the fact that Shouyang and Xiaoguan are nearly 600 miles apart, even if I wanted to help, it would be too late!"
Now there are several iconic figures in Xinghan.
One is the leader, Feng Yong, needless to say.
One is Suibian general Zhao Guang, who leads the army to guard Xiaoguan.
The remaining few, Li Yi, Li Qiu, Wang Xun, etc., were either soldiers in the Prime Minister's Office or chief historians of a county.
Although his status is not low, he is not the top leader and can only be regarded as a second-level figure in the Xinghan Society.
If Zhao Guang was punished for the incident in Yuezhi City, it would be a setback for Xinghanhui, a Shantou that had just taken shape.
"I think that no matter what Old General Zhao says, he is still Erlang's master, and he will not be punished too severely."
Guan Ji comforted.
Feng Yong shook his head, "If it were normal, it wouldn't matter, but it's different now."
Having said this, Feng Yong looked at Guan Ji and said slowly, "Young Master, please don't forget that there is another Li Yan in Sichuan."
Guan Ji was startled, "Li Yan?"
"Yes, Li Yan." Feng Yong nodded, "According to Siniang's opinion, the Prime Minister is definitely going to attack Li Yan."
"What does that have to do with Erlang?"
Guan Ji still doesn't understand.
"There is a saying in my school, I wonder if Mr. Xi has heard of it: The boss fights with the second, and the third dies."
When Guan Ji heard this, her face was even more confused.
Feng Yong explained carefully: "Now the prime minister and Li Yan are the two highest-ranking ministers in the Han Dynasty."
"Now that the Prime Minister wants to overthrow Li Yan, Li Yan will definitely not be able to sit back and wait for restraint. In this case, the best way is to muddy the water in the court."
"This way he can continue to delay time, look for opportunities, and even think of ways to counterattack the prime minister."
"Every matter in Longyou is arranged by the Prime Minister and then reported to the court. Erlang is regarded as the guard general of Xiaoguan arranged by the Prime Minister himself."
"What's more important is that General Zhao signed the second sign on the impeachment form for Li Yan," Feng Yong pointed to himself again. "Not only did I sign it, but I also wrote to Li Feng myself."
"This can be regarded as offending Li Yan to death. Now that something like this has happened, what kind of things do you think Li Yan might do under the pressure of a trapped beast still fighting?"
When Guan Ji heard Feng Yong's words, a look of worry finally appeared on her face: "What should we do?"
Seeing her appearance, Feng Yong smiled and patted the back of her hand.
"It doesn't matter. What kind of people are the Prime Minister and General Zhao? How can they allow Li Yan to stir up trouble? What I'm worried about is that Erlang may have to suffer more."
If the board doesn't hit him harder, how can he avoid the responsibility of losing the city?
It seems that the development momentum of the Xinghan Society is indeed going to suffer some setbacks.
Guan Ji sighed: "I didn't expect that Alang and Erlang could not escape the court's turmoil even though they were far away in Longyou."
Then he said with some guilt: "I am really ignorant. Not only can't I help A Lang now, but I actually have to mention this kind of thing to A Lang. That's when I realized it."
Feng Yong coughed dryly: "Ahem, Xijun, don't say that. In fact, I never thought of this part. It's still Si Niang, uh..."
"Si Niang?" Guan Ji's ears twitched and she looked over with piercing eyes.
"Yes, didn't Fourth Lady send letters in succession a few days ago? The letters told me some of her thoughts and asked me to pay attention to them, so I just thought of these."
Zhang Xingyi temporarily replaced Li Mu to guard Nanxiang, and part of the information on the Xinghan Society was also gathered to her.
After her analysis, she was able to predict and analyze the impact that the court turmoil might have on herself and Zhao Guang.
Feng Yong had to accept this keenness.
When Guan Ji heard this, she nodded, "Siniang...Siniang is indeed much better than me in this regard."
Feng Yong quickly coaxed: "Zhang Jiawen, Guan Jiawu! Si Niang is the queen's biological sister. It is not surprising that she has this ability."
"Don't say it's Mr. Xi, even I wouldn't have thought of it!"
When he first heard that Yuezhi City was lost, Feng Yong thought it was not a big deal.
In other words, the impact on Zhao Guang is not too great.
Because as long as those who know the inside story understand that the main responsibility does not lie with them.
But sometimes, politics is unreasonable.
Guan Ji glanced at him and touched her belly with one hand: "Don't worry, I'm not so narrow-minded. Even people thousands of miles away would be jealous."
Feng Yongqian laughed.
It’s great to be pregnant. Once I’m pregnant, my demeanor is completely different.
However, Guan Ji's magnanimity did not save Zhao Guang's fate.
Feng Yong's worries soon became reality.
A few days later, an official document finally came from Jicheng: Zhao Guang was transferred to the rank of general, removed from the post of guard general of Xiaoguan, and replaced by Ma Dai. At the same time, Yang Wanwan was also implicated and demoted.
This punishment was proposed by Zhao Yun personally, and the prime minister personally nodded, so it was considered very severe.
If Feng Yong hadn't been reminded by Zhang Xingyi, he would probably have fought for Zhao Guang.
But for Zhao Guang, who has been going smoothly all these years, this blow is probably not a light one.
"I think Alang should write a letter to Erlang to comfort him so that he won't have to worry about it."
Guan Ji saw the official document and suggested.
Feng Yong nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing. Erlang has been too smooth in the past few years. It's good to let him learn a lesson this time to avoid suffering greater losses in the future."
Guan Ji sighed: "That's all I can think about."
"There is one more thing that Erlang should take care of."
Putting aside the matter of being demoted, Zhao Guang felt free this time.
"What's the matter?"
"The matter with Madam Huang."
Feng Yong looked at Guan Ji with a smile on his face: "Erlang is only one year younger than me, and Xijun is already pregnant. Erlang should also get married."
Guan Ji muttered: "Anyway, I don't like that yellow barbarian girl."
"Erlang can do it if he likes it. Madam Huang has helped us a lot. She has been recuperating at Jincheng's place in the past two years, and she should be almost done."
"If Erlang gets married to her, he can get a lot of help."
Although Feng Yong hates old man Wei, he has to admit that in his prime, he can be regarded as the second most powerful general of the Han Dynasty.
The old man Wei had been entrusted by Huang Zhong and regarded Lady Huang as if he were his own child.
Coupled with Mrs. Huang’s net worth...
Well, the former richest man in Hanzhong is not called him for nothing.
"Will General Zhao agree?"
Guan Ji asked.
"Erlang is not the eldest son, why don't you agree?"
Feng Yong said this is not a problem.
"This time Erlang was demoted from the rank of general and given a sinecure. What is Alang going to do next?"
"When he gets married, I will ask the Prime Minister to transfer him to the Qiang Protector School." Feng Yong sighed, "It's just that I finally found out that a cavalry commander has to be transferred away again."
"This Liu Hun is lucky."
Guan Ji glanced at the official document and said.
Zhang He's death was finally confirmed: he was hit by an arrow in the thigh and died of serious injuries.
The news reached the Han Dynasty, and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was very happy. Liu Hun, who shot Zhang He with his own hands, was promoted to the third rank and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei and General Polu.
If this happens, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay under my own sect, and I don't know where I will be promoted.
Liu Hun was personally recommended to Alang by Siniang, and now she is shining brightly.
Then I remembered that Liu Yin, who was guarding the street pavilion, was also recommended to A Lang by Siniang.
Feng Guanshi couldn't help but feel a little sour.
Feng Yong didn't think as much as Guan Ji: "I am already talented, but I haven't met Bole before."
No matter what happens to Liu Hun in the future, he is still his old boss, so what should he be afraid of?
"Bo Le?" Guan Ji was a little confused by Feng Yong's words, "Bo Le knows horses?"
"Yes, Bole knows horses." Feng Yong nodded, "There are Bole in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. There are always thousand-mile horses, but Bole is not always there. Liu Hun must be a thousand-mile horse."
In this world, those who stand out are not the most talented, but the luckiest.
People who are more talented than them, without their luck, would have died on the battlefield long ago.
For example, if Wen Shi from the engineering camp didn't have himself, he wouldn't have met the militia, he might have entered the belly of some wild beast, or he might have spent his life hiding in some corner in obscurity.
