Feng Wei is a person of considerable status in the Diaoyin Feng family. He is probably equivalent to a director on the company's board of directors. He can also give some opinions on the family's major decisions, and he can also do small things.
The one who calls the shots.
His appearance here was not a whim or an accidental passing by, but he was stationed here by the Feng family after the powerful coalition forces of Gao Nu appeared here and detoured around Feng Yi to rush to the battlefield but were absorbed by the Le family.
His role is also very simple. As a person with status in the family who can make decisions, if he encounters a large group of troops going to Qiyuan to participate in the war, he will decide how to deal with the powerful troops who want to take a piece of the battlefield.
Although the nearby interested powers, including the powerful ones from Gaonu and Dingyang counties far away, have rushed to the battlefield and decided their attitude, Feng is still not at ease, fearing that an unexpected situation will affect Le's troops.
The number increased further, so Feng Wei, a descendant of the family who had some power but was not a core member, came here.
But don't tell me, if he's not afraid of 10,000, he's afraid of the worst. Now such a team has really come. Feng Wei, who originally thought it was really boring here, now finally feels that this time is not in vain, so he is here.
When Li Shushi was about to give the order to rush through the border, he spoke in time to stop the possible conflict. After all, if a fight really broke out, Feng's tribe here would only number a hundred people.
"I'm Fengwei, may I take the liberty to ask, where are you planning to go?"
Although he is located on the edge of the country, it can still be seen that Feng is a powerful person with considerable connotation. Although the smile on Feng Wei's face is not as natural as a spring breeze, it does appear to be very graceful, neither humble nor arrogant.
Can't fault it.
"We were going to travel around Jingzhao, but we were blocked by your family when passing by. I don't know what that means."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I think there should be some misunderstanding between us. But everyone must also know that Zhao Qinglong, the remnant of the Yellow Turban, occupies Qiyuan County, and his subordinates often appear in this area. I seal
I set up a card here just to remind passers-by of the way forward, otherwise if I'm not careful, I will lose a lot of money but a big loss of life."
In response to Li Shushi's accusation, Feng Wei's face did not change, and his heart did not beat. Instead, he showed a look of worry for Li Shushi and others. However, Ma Ji had also said before that for a team with a small number of people and no goods, Feng Wei's
Basically, they would only let them go after a few intimidation charges. However, only those with larger numbers of people or more supplies would make things difficult for them, lest they support Leshi's troops.
"Does Mr. Feng think that these hundreds of people like me are just for show? I guess there will be no problem in dealing with those young people."
"Feng Mou naturally knows that the young master has confidence in his guards, but the young master is a foreigner after all and is not as familiar with the terrain as the bandits. If the bandits do not confront the young master's guards head-on but resort to harassment to embarrass the young master, I am afraid that it will be difficult
The young master's bodyguard will also suffer considerable losses. Besides, Zhao Qinglong is the enemy chief of the country, and Zhang Cheqi even ordered him to be strangled.
According to the order, if the young master can lead the guards and work with the families in Shangjun to annihilate the remnant of the Yellow Turban Zhao Qinglong, it will respect the country's law and demonstrate the young master's patriotism. Maybe Zhang Cheqi will learn about the young master on the battlefield.
With his heroic appearance, the young master will probably have a smoother career in the future. After all, people like Zhang Cheqi are not easy to see."
Turning back and looking at the powerful disciples of Fushi who were already moved by Feng Wei's words, Li Shushi curled his lips secretly and said that if Ma Ji hadn't introduced the twists and turns in detail, maybe Li Shushi would have been a little moved too.
, after all, as Feng Wei said, although Zhang Wen's ability to lead troops in war is questionable, his family power and status as a scholar are definitely first-rate.
However, Li Shushi didn't mind taking a trip into the muddy waters of Qiyuan. After all, according to Feng Wei, even if they could break through, Feng would send their news to Zhao Qinglong when they turned back.
, and then looking for trouble on his own, then it seems not cost-effective for him to turn back and fight back, or just resist the enemy's various harassments and go southward, let alone the Le family, who is said to be more arrogant and powerful, in the south.
We have to fight anyway, and it is better to solve them one by one than to let the crowd laugh and drive the train and then be drowned by the sea of monsters.
As for Li Shushi's team of less than a thousand people, Feng Wei also felt that it was acceptable, because this number would not be too large to become a new opponent for Feng's power, nor too small to be of much use.
The bodies of Wei Xuchu and others can be considered powerful, and they are definitely qualified as high-level cannon fodder. Anyway, Diaoyin's powerful coalition forces number six to seven thousand.
After some bargaining, Li Shushi agreed to take these hundreds of people to join Feng Wei and the powerful coalition forces led by Feng. However, Li Shushi would lead the troops to take a detour, because Qi Yuan was not close to here.
Very convenient.
Speaking of which, why would the Feng family send someone to guard here and be so afraid of others going from here to the Qiyuan battlefield to meet the Le family? You must know that the mountain road Li Shushi took and the location of Qiyuan are one to the east and the other to the west, completely opposite.
Very.
It turns out that this is related to the unique location of Qiyuan. What is the relationship? In fact, it is very simple. In Li Shushi's words, Qiyuan is to Shangjun just like Pingzhou is to Xihe. Although the relationship is close at the administrative level, geographically
But it seems that they are far apart, and it is extremely difficult to connect with them. However, at the same time, their connection with Linjun is extremely close.
If Pingzhou County is separated from the rest of Xihe County by the Luliang Mountains but is located on the same Taiyuan Plain as Taiyuan County, then Qiyuan County, located at the southern foot of the Northern Shaanxi Plateau, is closely connected with Feng Yi, which is adjacent to it, but is separated from Qiyuan County.
If you want to go to other places in Shang County from the county seat of Yuan County, you have to go over mountains and wading through mountains and rivers. The journey is far less convenient than that from Qiyu County, which is also located in the Wei River Valley.
If you want to reach Fengyi from Shangjun, the best way is to start from Diaoyin County and go south along the Luoshui River Valley to Suyi County in Fengyi County, and then go east to Hedong County or south to Hongnong and Jingzhaoyi.
Or you can choose to go west via Youfufeng to Xiliang. Of course, it is also very convenient and quick to reach the seat of Qiyuan County via this road.
It is precisely because of this reason that the Feng family was completely unable to grasp the movements of the large group of people passing by here, especially after the vicious incident in which the powerful coalition forces of Gaonu County passed through but appeared on the Qiyuan battlefield.
The Feng family completely decided to seal off this place.
It has to be said that climbing over mountains and ridges is indeed a physical job, especially when you have already set foot on the relatively easy-to-walk Luoshui River Valley and now have to climb over mountains again.
It's difficult.
Unlike those young people from Fushi who fantasized about killing the enemy and performing meritorious deeds and then being accepted as disciples by the cavalry general Zhang Wen and then prospered, Li Shushi didn't feel very good in his heart at this time.
Zhang Jiao's wishes are undoubtedly good. Most of the Taiping believers he saw in Jizhou also abided by Zhang Jiao's teachings and were helpful and kind to others. Many of them, such as Li Shushi's neighbor Uncle Tian, even gave Gang a gift.
He who traveled through time in this body helped him get through the initial discomfort period of time traveling with a lot of help.
But all this changed when Zhang Jiao followed the ladder made by Liu Hong and set off an unprecedented rebellion. The Yuzhou Yellow Turbans absorbed many bandits and bullies in order to gain strength, and the Yellow Turbans gradually changed their interests, and the greed in human nature
Pushing all this to the extreme. Moreover, with Zhang Jiao's failure,
The remaining Yellow Turbans, who defied the Han Dynasty and were unable to annihilate them, gradually turned into a more terrifying existence than the refugees caused by natural disasters, because it was difficult for them to become ordinary farmers again under the hunting of the Han Dynasty.
, using a year's hard work and sweat to exchange for hope of survival in the next year.
As a result, the Yellow Turbans, who had gradually become accustomed to achieving their own independence through smashing, smashing and looting, gradually transformed and degenerated under the new pressure of survival, and finally became the bandits that Li Shushi often encountered along the way.
.
Perhaps Feng Wei was right. These Yellow Turban remnants whose profession has changed from the Yellow Turban Army to more aggressive thieves do have more agile skills in this mountainous area and a familiarity with the terrain that even Ma Ji cannot match.
If Li Shushi chooses to continue passing through the Luoshui Valley, although the strong military strength can ensure their safety, in terms of marching speed, Li Shushi believes that these thieves may really delay their marching ability.
Because they are obviously more organized and disciplined than the bandits they encountered along the way from Fushi to Diaoyin.
It's just that on the mountain road to Qiyuan, I don't know if Feng Wei secretly greeted him in some way or because he was unwilling to waste his troops needlessly. He only harassed Li Shushi's team three times before disappearing, leaving only
There were dozens of corpses and a group of young people who had done little but looked like they were still unfinished.
Moreover, this state was caused when Li Shushi asked the horse archers not to use all their strength. Otherwise, hundreds of horse archers, even if they stand on the ground and shoot arrows without using horse power, can defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who have become thieves.
Their losses doubled.
Of course, even this was enough to make Feng Wei look at him with admiration, so before arriving at Qiyuan, Li Shushi and his troops changed from being high-level cannon fodder in Feng Wei's mind to being "not to be easily enemies with" and "worthy of making friends and managing them".
figure.
However, after finally reaching Feng's frontline headquarters in Mafang Township, Qiyuan County, Feng Wei and Li Shushi were told that all the garrison troops in Mafang Township had gathered in Jiaoping Township, east of Qiyuan City. It was said that the cavalry general Zhang
Wen seemed dissatisfied with the speed of the attack on Zhao Qinglong, so he sent his cronies to supervise the battle, so the head of the Feng family had to bring people to join him.
In desperation, Feng Wei and Li Shushi had to continue south to Jiaoping Township with their somewhat tired troops.
What surprised Li Shushi was that he actually saw dozens of human heads lifted up by long wooden poles outside the gate of the military camp in Jiaoping Township. Judging from the color of the blood on the ground, it was obvious that the people had been dead for several days.
Although I don't know why these people died, it can be seen from these heads that Zhang Wen's cronies are probably not easy to deal with.
But what surprised him even more was the old man with gray beard and hair standing at the gate of the camp.
"I heard that there was a caravan that was killing people all the way from Fushi to Diaoyin, and the results were quite fruitful. I originally thought I would miss it, but I never thought that I would be able to meet you all here today. The Feng family has done something for me.
A good thing."
"Who are you?" Although he had already guessed, Li Shushi still asked.
"Haha, I, Tao Qian, nicknamed Gongzu, am here just to solve these little troubles on the flanks of the army."
Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Li Shushi was immediately confused.
