Sima Yi was driven out of Hanzhong, which meant that the Han Dynasty not only did not lose an inch of territory in this battle, but instead expanded its borders.
Three years later, the Han Dynasty once again won a great victory over the Cao thieves.
This time, the man was much more confident than last time, and the court made an exception and banned alcohol for a month.
This is the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne, and it can even be said to be the first time since the founding of Ji Han.
Adou held a banquet in the palace for all the ministers, and the king and his ministers celebrated together.
If Dongfeng Express hadn't been prepared a long time ago and urgently prepared a batch of wine from Nanzhong and Jincheng, there wouldn't even be a few jars of wine for this banquet.
After the banquet, the court discussed merits and rewards, and naturally the most important reward was given by the Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion.
The rewards for the officers and men of the Xiaowei Mansion are different.
Especially Zhao Guang, not only did he get his wish to restore the title of General, but it was even more majestic than the one he had lost before: General Qiaoqi.
Moreover, the customs have to be sealed off.
As soon as this reward came out, not to mention others, even Feng Yong felt that it was a bit too heavy.
It is understandable to be given the title of General, but for the Marquis of Jinguan, it is suspected that the rewards are excessive.
"You are now an important minister in the court and a famous general in the world, not to mention who knows that Zhao Erlang listens to you the most?"
"This is an indiscriminate reward or not, as long as you mention it, who dares not to take it seriously?"
The banquet lasted for several days, and the Han Prime Minister was considered one of the protagonists of the banquet.
So I drank a lot.
At this time, he had a tired look on his face, leaning on the back of the Grand Master's chair, closing his eyes to rest.
After hearing Feng Yong's question, he didn't bother to open his eyes and look at him, and said angrily.
"Ah, I brought it up? It's not too bad, right?"
Feng Yong hesitated and said, "Besides, my own reward hasn't come yet..."
The rewards of all the soldiers have been decided, but there is no news yet about Feng Yong.
But everyone knew in their hearts that this time, Feng Junhou's contribution was indeed quite great.
The Prime Minister had just returned to Nanzheng not long ago, and since he had no time to spare these days, he might not have figured out how to reward Feng Junhou.
Feng Junhou thought to himself, if I suggest that Zhao Guang's reward is too heavy, what will happen if the reward I haven't received is also chopped with a knife?
When the Han Prime Minister heard what Feng Junhou said, he finally opened his eyes and looked at him angrily:
"So you can't be nice when you have something to say? Do you have to use Zhao Erlang as a demon?"
The Prime Minister saw through Feng Junhou's thoughts, and he couldn't help but sarcastic:
"Aren't I worried about the Longyou side? If the reward comes earlier, I can go back earlier. I heard that General Zhao is not in good health. He suffered from two colds last winter..."
Although it is an excuse, it is true that Feng Yong is worried about Zhao Yun's health.
If you are old and frail, you are more likely to get sick.
Mr. Zhao has been practicing martial arts all year round, so his physical condition should be considered good.
In addition, as a general, the living conditions are not bad.
But under such circumstances, he still got cold, which only shows that his body has begun to weaken.
In this battle between Han and Wei, if I were the governor of Longyou, after learning about the victory at Xiaoguan and the overall situation in Xiping had been decided.
They must have taken advantage of his illness to take his life, and took Wang Ping and Liu Yin across Longshan to visit Qi County.
If there is an advantage, take advantage of it; if there is no advantage, scare the defeated soldiers who came back from Xiaoguan.
What if Cao Zhen was frightened and abandoned the city and fled?
Although the probability is low, there is always a little bit of hope.
Who can tell clearly what happened on the battlefield?
However, due to physical reasons, Zhao Yun could only sit and guard Jicheng, focusing on stability.
"You also know that Zilong is not in good health?" Zhuge Liang mentioned this, with some worry on his face, "Then you still say that the reward for Erlang Zhao is too high?"
Feng Yong was startled and felt something was wrong.
"The Prime Minister means..."
Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but asked another question:
"What's going on in the four counties of Liangzhou? You've been planning it for so long, can you finish it?"
"It's almost done," Feng Yong nodded, "but after the battle at Xiaoguan, the soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion suffered a lot of casualties. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of Liangzhou for a while."
"Longyou doesn't only have a captain's mansion, but also a governor's mansion?"
Zhuge Liang clicked his tongue, "Besides, your Lieutenant's Mansion has been in so much limelight this time. The credit for recovering Liangzhou should be given to the Governor's Mansion."
It stands to reason that the Xiaowei Mansion is mainly responsible for running Liangzhou, while the Dudu Mansion can move eastward to Guanzhong at any time.
Now, by mistake, Feng Yongxian defeated the Wei army in Guanzhong.
After it was determined that the Wei army in Guanzhong could no longer threaten Longyou, Liangzhou was like the meat being boiled in the pot, and he could eat his chopsticks whenever he wanted.
Obviously, the Han Prime Minister was very anxious and wanted to eat it quickly.
"Oh, that doesn't matter to me." Feng Yong nodded and said generously, "Anyway, we are all doing our best for the big man."
The Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion did not have one to two years to restore its peak combat strength, and there was no spare capacity to send troops to Liangzhou.
Therefore, if the Han Dynasty really wants to have ideas about Liangzhou this year, Longyou Governor's Mansion is indeed the best choice.
"At that time, we will need help from your schoolmaster's office. After all, the arrangements in Liangzhou are all done by the schoolmaster's office."
Zhuge Liang reminded.
"No problem. Although the officers and soldiers of Xiaowei Mansion are currently unable to go on an expedition, it is still possible to send some manpower."
There is no harm in doing more of the icing on the cake.
Zhuge Liang nodded in approval: "It's more organized than before. In this case, you can rest assured that Liangzhou is in your hands."
Hearing the Prime Minister's praise, Feng Junhou laughed, and then suddenly felt something was wrong: "Liangzhou?"
"Yes, Liangzhou." Zhuge Liang sighed, "After Liangzhou returns to the Han Dynasty, there must be a governor, right? Zilong is not in good health and will return to Hanzhong to recuperate."
"At that time, there will be no one else who is most suitable for this position except you."
So this battle to regain Liangzhou is most likely to be a perfect ending for Mr. Zhao?
Feng Yong understood it instantly.
Zhao Yun was about to take a back seat and was ready to give up his position, so the reward given to Zhao Guang was partly compensatory.
However, Feng Yong heard the deeper meaning of the Prime Minister's words. Even though he had been through the storm for a long time, he was still shocked and his heart was pounding.
"Prime Minister, I remember, didn't the governor of Liangzhou already have one?"
If I remember correctly, the old man Wei was the governor of Liangzhou.
"Isn't it true that I, a man from Wu, have just pledged an alliance to each other? There are so many states in the world, including Jizhou and Youzhou. I will give him another one when the time comes."
Zhuge Liang said calmly.
Can real collar and remote collar be the same thing?
"What about General Wu?"
The General Wu mentioned by Feng Yong was Wu Yi.
After the Battle of Longyou, in Feng Yong's imagination, there were three candidates for the governor of Longyou.
One is Zhao Yun, the other is Wei Yan, and the other is Wu Yi.
No matter how you look at it, Wu Yi is more likely than himself.
After all, he has the bonus of being a relative, and he is one of several representatives of the Dongzhou faction, so his qualifications are not comparable to those of a junior like Feng Yong.
"General Wu is indeed a suitable candidate." Zhuge Liang nodded, "It's just that the emperor and the empress are all in Hanzhong now. There must always be a trustworthy person watching over Jincheng."
"Oh, that's true."
Feng Yong remembered that Li Ping was in charge of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jincheng as the Central Protector, and thought that it was impossible for him to be involved in military power again.
Therefore, Wu Yi led the army to defend Jincheng and really couldn't do without it.
They were two people in private, and the Han Prime Minister was determined to cultivate Feng Yong, so he spoke more clearly.
"What's more, Zhang Junsi, who originally stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jincheng, died of illness two months ago. Jiang Gongyan has just taken over as the Prime Minister, and he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress Li Zhengfang, so General Wu cannot leave Jincheng.
.”
Zhang Junsi is Zhang Yi, the chief official of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jincheng.
After the Prime Minister entered Hanzhong, he was responsible for the government affairs of the Prime Minister's Office, and he won the Prime Minister's respect.
"Is Zhang Changshi gone?"
Feng Yong was shocked when he heard the news.
He was not familiar with Zhang Yi, and in the past few months, his attention had been focused on Cao Cao.
In addition, the emperor and empress are now in Hanzhong, and Jincheng is in the rear area, and there has been nothing going on, so they pay little attention to it.
"Three years ago, Zhang Junsi came to Hanzhong to meet me. He told me that he took up the post of Prime Minister and Chief Historian, received guests day and night, could not rest, and was often tired and wanted to die."
Zhuge Liang had a sad look on his face, "I only thought he was joking at the time, but I never imagined that he would become sick from overwork..."
"It was Li Deang (Li Hui) who was very open-minded. He noticed something was wrong with his health, so he resigned from his position as the governor of the city and went to Hanzhong to concentrate on his recovery."
"I passed by Nanxiang a few days ago and I saw that his complexion was much better than before."
When Zhuge Liang talked about these veterans, he couldn't hold back the topic:
"As soon as Zhang Junsi left, I remembered that Zilong had also written a letter, saying that his body was not as good as before."
"So I thought about letting him learn from Li De'ang and go to Nanxiang to recuperate."
When Feng Yong heard this, his heart first moved, and then his face became happy again:
"If General Zhao is willing to go to Nanxiang to recuperate, I will be waiting for you!"
When the time comes, the old man is made happy, and he is asked to go to the martial arts hall to talk about the past, and to pick out some genuine goods, which will be enough for the students to learn from the military.
How could Zhuge Liang not know what Feng Yong was planning?
He passed through Nanxiang a few days ago and went to see Li Hui to find out what he was doing now.
"Zilong went there to recuperate, not to teach you students."
The Han Prime Minister reminded, "If you dare to make him tired, see how I deal with you!"
"I understand, I understand," Feng Yong nodded, "It's just that this man is old and always likes to recall the past. When the time comes, I will send a few students to serve the old general and talk to him. Is that okay?"
"That depends on whether he is willing to say it."
Why don't you want to do this?
Feng Yongyong thought nonchalantly, it’s not like I asked him to teach my students the Zhao family’s marksmanship.
Besides, haven’t I taught Zhao Guang enough?
I just asked the old man to talk about the past. Is there anything I can't say?
The first person in the Han army, thinking about it makes people excited.
"Forget it, this is between you and Zilong, I won't say more, let's get back to business."
Zhuge Liang knocked on the table.
"Business? What business?"
Feng Junhou was now thinking about how to arrange General Zhao, so he replied casually.
This made the Han Prime Minister immediately look at him angrily.
"Oh, oh, yes, I forgot, it's business. This Liangzhou governor..."
Feng Junhou quickly made amends, and then after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no other suitable candidate.
But he still had one last concern: "Prime Minister, what I'm afraid of is that I'm too young..."
"What are you afraid of? What's talked about in the army is military merit, not who is older!"
"When Emperor Gaozu built a high platform to worship the Marquis of Huaiyin as a general, the Marquis of Huaiyin was only twenty-six."
"You can't compare to the Marquis of Huaiyin. You can't be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can you not even be the governor?"
Probably because he felt that this boy was pushing back, the Prime Minister showed an impatient look: "If you really feel that you can't do it yourself, then I won't force you to do it. Just ask someone else..."
Having said this, how could Feng Junhou be unreasonable?
But he nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I can do it, I can do it!"
"Really? Not forced?"
"Don't force it, don't force it!"
Feng Yong quickly shook his head again.
The Han Dynasty gathered together to occupy two states. The prime minister received the pastoral responsibility of Yizhou. Now it is self-evident what it means to make himself the governor of Liangzhou.
"This Liangzhou governor is no different than other places. It is a place where troops are deployed. You must be given a title. The contribution you have made this time is already great enough. Why don't you get General Pingxi..."
I heard the Prime Minister speak again.
besides?
Feng Junhou swayed, and the surprise hit him so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
Zhao Guang's Cavalry General sounds awesome, but he is just a general with no name.
But General Pingxi is different. He may not sound so awesome, but he is a general with a high rank and a high rank!
I saw Feng Turtle grinning stupidly and drooling.
Damn it, in future generations, why would I have to carry a bare board and a gold star on my shoulders?
No, I will ask Li Mu to make a military uniform when I get back!
"Being the governor of Liangzhou and becoming the general of Pingxi, then this title..."
When the Han Prime Minister said this, he paused and looked at Feng Junhou again.
Any more?
Feng Junhou wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and his eyes widened.
"I won't move for now."
Okay, if you don't move, don't move.
It's good to be a pavilion...
"Although the title is temporarily unchanged, you can have three concubines in your house..."
The Prime Minister's words had too many twists and turns today, and Feng Junhou was unprepared and suddenly coughed.
"I know you love the wives and concubines in your house, but you can't be so excited, right?"
Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Junhou's hopeless look with contempt in his eyes.
What do I call excitement?
That’s not right, yes, I am indeed very excited.
But my excitement is different from the excitement you think!
If Guan Ji knew that the military merit she had earned through hard work ended up being advantageous for her concubine in the house...
It’s not like I’m cheapening my concubine, to be precise, I’m cheapening myself…
Anyway, that's what it is.
I wonder if the Feng family's wife will have the idea of burning down the Feng mansion?
After all, concubines are different from ordinary wives and concubines.
The highest-level concubines are sisters who marry together. The elder sister is the wife and the younger sister is the concubine.
The middle ones are married to sisters from the same clan, and the lowest ones are married to maids.
The status of a concubine is much higher than that of a concubine. She has a formal status and can attend formal banquets, etc.
To put it bluntly, a concubine is a backup for the main wife.
If something happens to the main wife, the concubine is the legal candidate for the main wife.
This system has been very popular among the aristocracy from the Warring States Period to the present.
The famous Mi Yue in history originally married into the Qin Kingdom as a concubine with her sister.
If this time, the imperial court allows the Feng Mansion to promote concubines, it will be regarded as a formal and public recognition of the status of its two concubines.
But it's no wonder.
Li Mu didn't say anything, just by suppressing food prices in recent years and transporting various materials to the front, his contribution is enough to compare with military merit.
As for Amei, there are medical manuals, spinning wheels, ballistas, trebuchets, etc. in the medical school.
What is it that she does not have credit for?
But there are three locations...
Feng Junhou suddenly thought for a moment.
"And your eldest son..."
This is probably the title of wife's shadow, but Feng Junhou no longer cares about it.
He was worried about how to explain to Guan Ji when he returned: There were only two concubines in the Feng Mansion, so why did the imperial court give them three places?
It can’t be Zhang Xiaosi’s, right?
But it’s impossible for Zhang Xiaosi to be a concubine!
As he thought about it, he himself became confused.
The Prime Minister saw that this man suddenly became absent-minded and seemed not to have listened to what he said. He was too lazy to say anything anymore and waved his hand to drive him out.
Unexpectedly, when Feng Yong walked to the door, the prime minister suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, Liu Liang has done a great job in this war. I wanted to transfer him back to Hanzhong, but he said that he should stay on the West Sea as a matter of state."
"Let the grudge you have with him go, and don't embarrass him again in the future."
When Feng Junhou heard the prime minister mention Liu Liang, he also had a strange look on his face:
"Ahem, Liu Zhengzheng is indeed a man. Otherwise, how about giving him the grace of the imperial court to promote concubines?"
"Come here, I'll show you something..."
Feng Junhou didn't dare to stay longer. He ran away quickly before the prime minister gave him his blessing.
After running outside, he thought of Liu Liang again. Feng Junhou couldn't help but sigh again: "Who said Liu Liang is not a husband?"
Liu Liang was Liu Yan's son, and he had previously wanted to compete with Feng Junhou for the Zhang family's young lady.
Later, I was semi-exiled to Nanzhong to feed mosquitoes.
After the Battle of Longyou, Liu Yan made a py deal with the prime minister and finally got Liu Liang to Longyou.
Unexpectedly, Feng Junhou still lingered on and became a Qiang-protecting captain in Longyou.
Fortunately, for his father's py transaction, General Zhao once again guaranteed the deal, and Feng Junhou showed his attitude and wiped out the grudge.
Probably because he had suffered a lot in Nanzhong, he was actually willing to go to Xiping County, which had just been pacified, to deal with those barbarian tribes.
While educating the barbarians, he also traded with the barbarians and sent cattle, sheep, horses and other items to Longyou.
Of course, this is not the most important.
The most important thing is that in the past few months, when the news that Feng Yong was cut off from Cao Zhen's return was flying all over the sky, and Long You's people were panic-stricken, Mr. Liu married five concubines in just one month.
Having multiple wives and concubines is not uncommon in this era.
What's strange is that this man from the Liu family, who originally had a bright future, married all the Hu girls!
The Huangshui side of Xiping was a place where Hu rebellions occurred frequently.
But after Liu Hanzi married five women from a large Hu tribe in the Huangshui River Valley, the Wei people wanted to imitate what happened in the old year and brought the Hu people in the Huangshui Valley to a uprising. However, the Hu people chopped off the envoy's head:
"How many people did I and the Han people send to your mother's house? How could they possibly cause trouble with you Wei people?"
In the past, there was Feng Junhou who gave generously, and later there was Liu Hanzi who gave charity with his own body.
The fact that the Wei people colluded with the powerful clans to cause rebellion in the Huangshui River Valley did not receive much response from the Hu people.
In the end, the Han officials stood firm on one side waiting for help, and on the other side Liu Hun led the fine cavalry. Without any obstruction from the barbarians, they easily entered the Huangshui River Valley and put down the rebellion.
So, who says Liu Liang is not a man?
These days, not everyone has the courage like Liu Liang to feed Hu Nu.
Anyway, with the courage of Feng Junhou who was afraid of his own mother-in-law, he thought he couldn't do it.
