Chapter 0650 Settled(1/2)
When he thought of the Battle of Jikou, Feng Yong was agitated, "What about Hanzhong? The old general is here, who is guarding Hanzhong?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen in Hanzhong. The Cao thief has been defeated for the first time. How dare you do it again so soon?"
Zhao Yun knew what Feng Yong was worried about, "Furthermore, according to the reports from spies, the Cao thief and the puppet emperor had left Chang'an. Although Cao thief's army in Chencang was still there, the defender had been replaced by Du Xi. Cao Zhen was transferred to guard Chang'an and could respond to Guanzhong at any time.
Everywhere.”
"According to this, Cao Cao is really planning to give up Longyou?"
Although he had already guessed this result in his heart, when the facts were before his eyes, Feng Yong had an unreal feeling.
"How could it be possible that we should let go, but we are unable to fight anymore. Not to mention Cao Cao's thieves, even the Han Dynasty has no power to raise troops at this time."
Zhao Yun has been fighting all his life, so he naturally has a much more pragmatic view on this matter than Feng Yong.
"We have been fighting with each other for half a year, and we have learned everything we need to know about each other. We know that Cao Cao can't cross Longshan now, and Cao Cao also knows that we don't have the strength to enter Guanzhong now."
"Everyone is panting now and conserving strength. During this period, the most we can do is to fight lightly. After a few years, I'm afraid there will be another big war. By then, either they will attack Longyou, or we will march into Guanzhong.
"
"This time the Han Dynasty attacked with all its strength, but Cao Cao's thieves were unprepared, so we took a big advantage. But in war, you can be cunning for a while, but how can you be cunning forever, let alone such a great cause as the restoration of the Han Dynasty?"
"And after this Northern Expedition, Cao's thief has already taken precautions in Guanzhong. So next time, between us and Cao's thief, it will be an upright battle. The battle will be based on the true strength of both sides. There will be no luck."
"So how to manage Longyou in recent years is a big issue and should not be taken lightly."
After what Zhao Yun said, Feng Yong finally understood.
He looked at Zhao Yun and saw that the old general sitting above him looked excited. When he talked about the destined war in the next few years, his expression even contained yearning and desire.
It seems that the victory of the Northern Expedition allowed him to set foot on the land of Longyou in person, which seemed to give him a shot in the arm.
It's just that no matter how energetic the old general is, his hair and beard are all white, which seems to prove to the world that no one can escape the pursuit of time.
No one knows how long this veteran general, who has followed the late emperor to fight in the north and south since he was young, can survive.
When Feng Yong thought of this, he suddenly realized that the Prime Minister was indeed more thoughtful than himself: General Zhao was the most suitable person to guard Longyou.
The reason is that he is the only real cavalry commander of the Han Dynasty who is still alive.
Zhao Yun was born in Hebei and fought with Gongsun Zan in the north in his early years.
And Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong is a famous cavalry in the world.
Later, he followed the late emperor and became the "former master cavalry", that is, the commander of the cavalry under the late emperor, which shows that he has always led the cavalry.
It's just that the late emperor moved from the north to fight in the south, and there was no source of supplementary cavalry. Naturally, Zhao Yun, the "main cavalry", could not play its due role.
Until the neutral state of Shu, there are only two thousand cavalry left in the country. Most of them were brought by Ma Chao from the north. What can I do?
Now that he had finally regained the horse-producing land of Longyou, Zhuge Liang transferred Zhao Yun to guard it. It was obvious that he wanted him to return to his old job and rebuild the Han cavalry force.
Neither Wei Yan nor Wu Yi had experience in commanding cavalry, let alone being able to help the Han rebuild the cavalry team.
It seems that the only one who is familiar with cavalry is Ma Dai, right?
However, Ma Dai has neither led an army alone nor has any impressive achievements. In terms of qualifications, prestige, and even ability, he is far less suitable than Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is old and already an old man. Logically speaking, he should not be allowed to work so hard. However, the seemingly inhuman transfer was actually done by Zhuge Liang as a last resort.
Thinking of this, Feng Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The talent gap in the Han Dynasty was too obvious.
He asked Zhao Yun in a low voice, "How will General Ma arrange it?"
If Ma Dai, who is familiar with cavalry, can be transferred to Longyou, then Zhao Yun should be able to relax a lot.
"This is not what you can care about now." Zhao Yun did not tell Feng Yongshen any further, "You will know later."
"I can tell you this because I am going to see the Prime Minister later, and I want to get the details from you in advance, so as not to cast a dark eye on Longyou's situation during the Q&A in front of the Prime Minister."
Oh, it turns out you came to me to make preparations.
Feng Yong expressed his understanding.
There is nothing wrong with the future governor of Longyou looking for the future captain of the Qiang Guard. It does not mean that the news has been revealed in advance.
It wasn't until Zhang Xingyi came in and served food that the two stopped discussing.
After eating, Zhao Yun stopped staying and prepared to see the prime minister.
Feng Yong personally sent him out of the yard.
Zhao Yun looked at the gate of the courtyard, but Zhang Xingyi did not follow him out. Then he pulled Feng Yong aside and said, "I am also from your age, and I know that young people have the heart to admire you."
"You have been married for more than two years, right? If you don't have a queen yet, you should have more concubines. That's right."
Having said this, he looked at the door of the yard again, and then lowered his voice and said, "But the Zhang family girl, is she someone who can be a concubine? Listen to my advice, don't waste time on Siniang."
"Anyway, you are going to stay in Longyou from now on. I think you might as well go and build relationships with the big families in Longyou, ask if there are any suitable side branches, and bring them in. That's the business."
After saying that, he pointed at Feng Yong's belly again, "Although you don't like to show off on weekdays, I can also see that your belly is full of knowledge that is rare in the world."
"If you don't have more children and pass on this knowledge, do you still want to take advantage of outsiders?"
Feng Yong looked embarrassed. Why did he say, "Old General, Sanniang has always had the final say on matters in this house. Should I let Sanniang decide whether to accept concubines?"
Zhao Yun clicked his tongue and said, "You are also a general after all, and you have led troops to fight in battles. That's right, we, the people, lead troops out all the year round. If there is no principal in the house who can control the situation, then
It definitely won’t work.”
"But you can't let her get on top of you. Otherwise, if you can't even deal with a woman, how can you have the nerve to lead an army? How do you teach women a lesson? It's almost the same as training soldiers in a camp."
"Reward heavily when she deserves a reward, and don't be soft-hearted when she deserves a punishment. She must know the rules..."
Feng Yongmu watched expressionlessly as Mr. Zhao taught him experience like an old gangster, but he actually refused in his heart.
Damn it, does it look like I can beat Guan Ji? Is the name Tiger Girl called for nothing?
She can push me to the room with one hand. If I don't fight for three days, I will be the one to go to the room and uncover the tiles. Then I will be the one, not her.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he patted Feng Yong on the shoulder and said, "I hope you can think about these words carefully. I am doing this for your own good."
Then he got on his horse and roared towards Jicheng County with his men.
Feng Yong just thought his words were farts and walked back to the yard silently.
Zhang Xingyi had already asked someone to clean up all the dishes on the table. When he saw him coming back, he smiled and said, "Fourth uncle really thinks highly of A Lang. He even talked to A Lang so much before leaving."
Feng Yong laughed.
Zhang Xingyi saw something wrong with his expression and asked, "Looking at Alang's expression, could it be that I made a mistake?"
"That's right." Feng Yong sighed, "What's good for me may not be good news for you."
"What does Alang mean by this?"
Zhang Xingyi asked.
"The old general wants to be a matchmaker to help me get closer to the Longyou family and help me recruit a few girls from the Longyou family..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xingyi's eyebrows stood up and his voice became sharp, "What did you say? Taking a concubine!"
Seeing that she was ready to eat someone, Feng Yong quickly coaxed, "I didn't agree, I didn't agree!"
"Huh! Even if you want to appease the Longyou clan, this matter is for the prime minister to say. How qualified is Zhao...fourth uncle to say this?" Zhang Xingyi was still angry and gritted his teeth and said, "You are really nosy!"
Feng Yong was startled when he heard Zhang Xingyi's words. He heard the different meanings in them, "To appease the Longyou clan?"
Zhang Xingyi rolled her eyes at him, "That's natural. Longyou has just decided. In order to win the trust of the Longyou clan as soon as possible, isn't marriage the best way?"
"When it comes to generals with great reputations, promising prospects, and just the right age, who can compare with you? If you hadn't already been married, would you believe that there is already a queue at the gate of the courtyard ready to invite you to your home?
Banquet person?"
When Zhang Xingyi said this, Feng Yong understood immediately.
The image of Mr. Zhao as an elder who taught him earnestly suddenly collapsed. This old military ruffian is indeed not a vegetarian!
Also, how can a character who can fight peacefully throughout his life be so simple?
First, he put it down on the grounds that he had been married for more than two years and had no children, and then pretended to be an old gangster to arouse the resonance of the man. The seemingly casual persuasion actually concealed the purpose of using his appearance to win over the Longyou clan.
After all, Feng Yong has made such great contributions during this Northern Expedition, so it is inevitable that he will be promoted to a feudal lord.
But he currently only has one wife and one concubine. In the powerful circle of the Han Dynasty, he is indeed a bit too strange. It is normal to have more than one concubine.
Anyway, this matter is the best for Mr. Zhao.
There is nothing to lose if it fails.
So all this seems very logical and awesome.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been fooled into a trap.
Feng Yong looked around and screened everyone away.
Then he whispered to Zhang Xingyi, "I understood when Siniang said this. Let me tell you, Mr. Zhao does seem to have a purpose. He is the future governor of Longyou."
Zhang Xingyi became even more angry when he heard this, "He... so what if he is the Governor of Longyou? How can I ask you to make sacrifices?"
sacrifice?
Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xingyi.
