Chapter 0944 The younger generation comes on stage one after another
The transmission of messages between Han and Wei was not smooth.
This time, Han Long brought back the news about the Shouchun woman turning into a goddess, which was an unexpected surprise.
However, this unexpected surprise is not of great use to Governor Feng at present.
That is to see if I can make some use of this matter in the future.
At most, we should develop a long-term layout.
After all, Liangzhou and Luoyang are too far apart, and they are also isolated from each other.
It would take at least three months to deliver the news back and forth.
In an era without radio, the Ghost King had no way of transmitting his message across thousands of miles.
The most important issue in Liangzhou right now is still the issue of the barbarians.
At the end of August, it is the golden autumn, when the grass in the desert is yellow and the horses are fat.
Shi Bao, who had been wandering on the grassland for half a year, finally returned to Liangzhou.
Not only did he bring back the war horses that Kebineng promised to the Han, but he also brought back the news that Kebineng promised to move the tent to his hometown of Jiuyuan.
On the first day of September, the generals of the Liangzhou Prefectural Army gathered at the staff headquarters and held the first formal joint staff meeting.
Zhang Yuan, Feng's favorite disciple, held a long whip and talked in front of a huge map:
"Since the Han Dynasty re-administered Liangzhou, the Hu people in Liangzhou have benefited from the benefits of woolen pastures, and they are all grateful for the kindness of the monarch. Originally, the Xianbei Hu people in the north of Liangzhou also often heard the name of the monarch."
"However, after Liangzhou was established in Yanjun and the capital Yeze was re-administered, the Han Dynasty blocked the way for the Hu people to go south and enter Liangzhou."
"Therefore, there are barbarians in the desert near Liangzhou in the north," Zhang Yuan said, tapping the northward protruding part of Liangzhou with his long whip. "Nowadays, there are many people who have resentments against the Han people."
"The princes thought that the barbarians had been causing chaos in Liangzhou for a long time, and they no longer knew the power of the Han Dynasty. Now that Liangzhou has been settled and the food and grass are ready, it is time to leave the fortress."
As soon as he said this, there was a slight commotion not to mention the generals who were scattered, sitting or standing in various corners of the room.
Even the generals who were qualified to sit at the big round table couldn't help but look at Governor Feng.
Sitting on the left is Long Shi Liao Hua, and on the right sits Feng, the captain of Wuwei County and the commander of General Huwei Guan Suo, with a calm expression:
"The main enemy of the Han Dynasty is the Wei thieves, but if the army wants to march eastward with peace of mind, the problem of the Hu people must be solved first."
"The Prime Minister sent someone to deliver an official document a few days ago, asking Liangzhou about the progress of the military affairs. His intention is to ask me to deal with Liangzhou's military affairs as soon as possible."
"According to my estimate, the prime minister will probably leave Hanzhong and march north in two years or three years at the earliest."
"So we don't have much time left." Feng Yong said, stood up, took the long whip from Zhang Yuan's hand, and banged it on the desert north of Liangzhou.
"Two years! Within two years, at least the Hu people in Xianbei in the west will not dare to provoke at the border of Liangzhou for a short period of time."
After receiving the approval from Governor Feng, the general did not dare to be too presumptuous, but was just excited and secretly clapped his hands in celebration.
Some of the generals sitting at the round table had already stood up and shouted: "Brother..."
General Huwei's eyes immediately swept over him like a sharp sword.
Zhao Guang was so frightened that he stuttered on the spot:
"You... Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the army out of the fortress!"
"General Zhao, I remember that your main task now is to rebuild the cavalry battalion. I will inspect the cavalry battalion tomorrow. If there is any weakness, let's see how I march."
Zhao Sanqian, who was powerful among the thieves in Guanzhong, immediately turned pale when he heard General Huwei's words.
Finished!
He looked at his brother as if asking for help.
Governor Feng looked at Zhao Xiaodi with pity and added:
"That's right, this time we go out to the fortress, we will mainly use the sudden cavalry battalion and the Wudang battalion as the main ones, and we will recruit Hu Qiyi to join the army to supplement them..."
Liu Hun and Shi Bao looked happy when they heard this. They immediately stood up and clasped their fists together:
"The last general takes command!"
The two of them grinned almost to the back of their ears.
Nowadays, workshops and pastures in Liangzhou are really popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
This is naturally accompanied by a shortage of manpower.
To be precise, there is a shortage of labor, weavers and handymen.
In the past, those wealthy families thought that Liangzhou was full of barbarians.
Now some people have suggested that Governor Feng could follow what happened in Nanzhong and let everyone form their own militia and go out to the fortress to find labor.
Then Feng Jishi, the chief labor coach of the Han Dynasty, said: You want to eat shit!
Today I dare to ask you to form a militia to look for labor. Tomorrow in Liangzhou I dare to spread the legend that Feng Langjun was possessed by Feng Ghost King and controlled thousands of women at night.
The reason why Nanzhong was done like this back then was because the Han Dynasty was at its weakest and had to take the wrong approach.
Over the years, how many changes has the Xinghan Society under the leadership of King Feng Gui brought to the people of Nanzhong?
But what's the result?
In the eyes of the people in Nanzhong, King Feng Gui is still the same King Feng Gui, without any change and full of evil forever.
If you still dare to do this now, let alone sheep eating people, I'm afraid they can even eat grass!
Besides, even if he wants to eat people, Ghost King Feng will eat them first, right?
It is precisely because of the current situation in Liangzhou that leading the army out of the fortress is both merit and gain.
It’s simply not that exciting!
Of course, the main thing is to clean up the troubles of the big man, and the oil and water are just a side trip.
Compared with Liu Hun and Shi Bao, Tufa Tianli, who was participating in such a high-level meeting for the first time, was half a beat slower. He followed the two of them and stuttered:
"The last general takes command!"
Feeling the excitement and almost fanatical atmosphere in the conference room, Bald-faced Kheli seemed to have a creepy feeling.
Just thinking that I also have a piece of pasture in my name, if I go out this time, I will really gain something...
Bald-haired Tianli suddenly couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart began to beat:
This... it really is better to get out of the way!
"This time out of the fortress, the direction is mainly eastward."
Governor Feng tapped the map to calm down the restless crowd, and then passed the long whip from Juyan County to the approximate location of Jiuyuan Hometown:
"From Juyan County to Jiuyuan Hometown, I hope you can open a way out."
Juyan County and Jiuyuan Hometown are both prominent locations, and they are exactly level with each other.
At that time, Huo Piaoyao set out from Beidi County, entered the desert from his hometown of Jiuyuan, made a big circle, and accurately settled in Yanze for thousands of miles.
Then he went up the weak river from Juyanze, crossed the west of the river, and defeated the Huns in their heartland.
They wiped out more than 30,000 enemies and made a forced landing of 2,500 people including King Shan Huan, King Tu, Prime Minister, and Captain.
Captured five kings and five queen mothers, the Chanyu family, fifty-nine princes, sixty-three prime ministers, generals, officials, and captains.
The Han army suffered only more than 3,000 casualties.
In this battle, the right arm of the Huns was cut off, allowing the Han to take Hexi into his hands, and completely open up the Western Region.
What Feng Yong wants to do now is to go back to Huo Piao and Yao's original route and open up the connection between Juyan County and Jiuyuan's hometown.
In this way, during the Battle of Guanzhong, Kebi Neng, who was entrenched in the hometown of Jiuyuan, could be used to put pressure on Sima Yi.
After the Battle of Guanzhong was over, the Han Dynasty could pin down Kebineng from the west and south to prevent him from making any big waves.
To be a tool man, you must have the consciousness of a tool man, and the big man is so short of labor...
After explaining the mission of going out to the fortress this time, Governor Feng looked at everyone:
"Any more questions?"
"Junhou, there is a vast desert between Juyan County and Jiuyuan's hometown. This trip will only take three months at most. We have to return in December. I'm afraid I'm not prepared enough."
Shi Bao has been wandering in the desert this year and has a better understanding of the situation in the north.
At this time he stood up and asked what the problem was.
"Two years."
Feng Yong raised two fingers: "Two years, you have two years to open this road."
"I will ask Zhang Yuan to follow with some advisers and draw a map along the way."
It only took Huo Piaoyao a few months to find a way without any road signs, and he was also able to move to Hexi and defeat the Xiongnu.
Now he has the ruins of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty on the vast desert as a road sign, and the barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall as a guide.
In addition, over the years, some caravans who want money but not their lives have been exploring their way north, which can also be used.
Not to mention that we can defeat the bandits like Huo Piao Yao, but to say that it takes two years to find a way is not too much, right?
"In this case, the general will have no doubts. After two years, if this matter fails, the general is willing to deal with it according to military law!"
Shi Bao said quickly.
"good!"
Governor Feng praised him and said, "With punishment comes reward. If this can be accomplished, I will certainly remember your contribution."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Shi Bao replied happily.
It seems that my status as a desert lover has finally come into use.
After announcing the top priority of leaving the fortress, the training plan for the generals and battalions staying in Liangzhou was arranged.
In fact, this meeting was also the initial ideological mobilization for the Battle of Guanzhong.
Liao Hua, on the other hand, deliberately stayed behind after the meeting and asked Feng Yong with a little worry:
"Your Majesty, if you express your intention to break out of the blockade in such a big way, it will reach the ears of the thieves in Guanzhong. Wouldn't it allow the thieves to be prepared in advance?"
Feng Yong shook his head and smiled:
"Uncle Liao, there are no outsiders at this time, so you don't have to be so polite."
Then he sighed again and said helplessly:
"Ever since the Xiongnu Hu Bo Juzhi was exterminated by Sima Yi, I have known that the Wei thieves are very wary of me!"
"Otherwise I wouldn't be able to communicate with Ke Bi and use him to contain Sima Yi."
The Liangzhou army went out to attack Xianbei in the west. Although it was to eliminate hidden dangers, it would make it easier for the Liangzhou army to march eastward with confidence and participate in the Battle of Guanzhong.
But objectively, it also helped Kebineng weaken the enemies in the west.
It is almost foreseeable that a hero like Ke Bineng would take advantage of the opportunity given by the Han Dynasty to restore his power after being defeated by Qin Lang.
Moreover, if Ke Bineng's power is too weak, it will not be enough to contain Sima Yi.
Again, no matter what attitude the Han Dynasty had towards Ke Bineng, he was still there to be the enemy of Wei.
Rather than leaving it alone and allowing him to take advantage of the conflict between the Han and Wei to grow, it is better to find a way to incorporate him into the Han's system.
This will test Feng Jishi's political level.
Fortunately, in the backyard of Feng Mansion, there is a female high school student Zhuge and a female high school hero.
One civil, one military, plus a time traveler.
Even if Sima Yi's turtle shell is as hard as iron, he still has to smash several big holes in him.
So Liao Hua saw Feng Jishi smile mysteriously after sighing:
"Since Sima Yi is so guarded against me, then I will ask him to be more guarded. Then I will have my own thoughts."
King Feng Gui has a long-standing reputation for foresight. When Liao Hua heard his words, he felt relieved and nodded:
"Since Mingwen has already thought of this, I can rest assured."
Liao Hua then looked at Guan Suo and Feng Yong, who were standing side by side.
But when I saw a rich and handsome man, and a plain-looking one with a great strategy in mind, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"If Mingwen could have been born ten years earlier, the wishes of the late emperor and the old monarch would have been realized long ago..."
Well, Uncle Liao, the Prime Minister also said this.
As Liao Hua spoke, he reached out and patted Feng Yong on the shoulder, "If Lao Junhou were alive, I would be very happy to see Sanniang marry you."
Not sure about that.
If Guan's father-in-law knew about Zhang Xiaosi and I, he would probably chop me up with his third brother and serve me as a banquet.
Besides, if it hadn't been for Guan's father-in-law's failure in Jingzhou, how would I have had the chance to buy at the bottom and marry such a beautiful woman as Sanniang?
Just when Liangzhou was preparing its troops and preparing to leave Juyan County, Sun Deng, the crown prince of the East Palace of Jianye City, the capital of Soochow, also welcomed a special guest.
"Yuan Xun, after three years of conquering Yue, you finally succeeded!"
Sun Deng stood at the door of the East Palace, happily holding Zhuge Ke's arm and walked inside with him.
A few years ago, Zhuge Ke claimed that he could pacify Shanyue in Danyang County, but he was doubted and criticized by the ministers of Wu State.
Only Prince Sun Deng strongly recommended Sun Quan and believed that he would succeed.
Since the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng Yong of the Shu Kingdom has become famous all over the world. What's more important is that this man is only a few years old.
Anyone can see that after Zhuge Liang, Shu no longer has to worry about having no successors.
Sun Quan, who had defeated Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Cao Pi, understood one thing very well. Sometimes you don't necessarily need to defeat your opponent personally. You just need to outlast your opponent, and then you will have the last laugh.
So when Lu Xun had reached the age of hearing, but there were no outstanding talents among the younger generation, Sun Quan felt a certain sense of crisis.
He finally agreed to Sun Deng's request and asked Zhuge Ke, the prince's guest, to serve as the governor of Danyang and pacify Shanyue.
He was also given 300 men holding halberds and armed cavalry to prepare him with dignity and propaganda, which showed that he attached great importance to Zhuge Ke.
I have to say that Sun Quan's vision of people is still very accurate.
After Zhuge Ke arrived in Danyang County, he immediately sent documents to all counties, asking them to guard the borders closely, and all the mountain people who had surrendered should be properly dealt with and settled in settlements.
When the army was complete, he mobilized generals from all walks of life, sent troops to guard the dangerous valley entrance, built passes, and surrounded the mountain people without engaging in combat.
When the rice was ripe, he ordered the soldiers to go and harvest the rice.
Camping like this step by step, the mountains and new valleys are not harvested, and the old grains are exhausted. They want to fight to the death, but they are unable to defeat the Wu army guarding the pass. In the end, they have to retreat one after another.
In order to appease people's hearts, Zhuge's subordinates also issued an order: all the people in the mountain should be comforted if they abandon their evil ways and embrace change, and they should move out of other counties. They should not be detained, and any offenders would be beheaded!
The mountain man Zhou Yi once acted violently and violently, and was trapped in a desperate situation. After coming out of the mountain, he still had different aspirations and was ready to wait for an opportunity to cause chaos.
The county magistrate, Mr. and Mrs. Hu, knew what he was thinking, so he ordered someone to tie him up.
After Zhuge Ke learned about this, he told the county magistrate Hu and his wife that they had violated the prohibition of "no arrest" and had him executed in public. He also ordered people to spread the news about the incident.
When the mountain people heard about it, they began to help the old and the young and came out of the mountain in large numbers.
In three years, Zhuge Ke successively subdued more than 100,000 mountain people and incorporated 40,000 of them into the army. He took 10,000 and distributed the remaining 30,000 to other generals.
As a result, the rebellion in Shanyue, Danyang County, finally subsided.
In order to commend him for his merits, Sun Quan ordered Shangshu Pushe Xue Zong to go and work for the army in person. At the same time, he appointed Zhuge Ke as General Weibei and granted him the title of Marquis of the capital.
Zhuge Ke returned to Jianye this time, firstly to pay homage to the general and to be ennobled, and secondly because Sun Quan had other purposes for him.
As the leader of the Prince's East Palace staff, it was the Prince who recommended Sun Quan, and this led to today's success.
Therefore, after Zhuge Ke met His Majesty, he naturally rushed over to see the Prince immediately.
After hearing the prince's words, Zhuge Ke smiled slightly complacently and said:
"At the beginning, no one in the world believed that I could pacify Shanyue. Only Your Highness believed in me and allowed me to do it. Therefore, this great achievement is shared between me and Your Highness."
When Sun Deng heard this, he also burst into laughter. For a moment, he was full of ambition and looked forward to the flight of God.
