Farmer of Shu Han

The purpose of Feng Duhu's tour of the North was to consolidate Jiuyuan and Yanmen.

After all, he didn't want to just drink horses and rivers. When he turned around and suddenly found that there was another situation in the early Han Dynasty between Han and Hu, it would really embarrass the traverser.

Although it has not unified the world until now, it is already very shameful.

And this time the northern tour may not be without the idea of ​​temporarily avoiding the sensitive period, so as not to intensify the conflict with the man in the palace.

It's just that people didn't expect that, in exchange for his own concession, the other party made progress.

Regardless of this transfer, it was Wei Yan who first suggested to Chang'an, and then the palace nodded in agreement.

Or the palace intends to test it out, and then Wei Yan will come forward to mobilize it.

To Feng Duhu, there was no difference.

After all, the establishment of the Hedong Governor's Mansion was originally the result of the joint efforts of the palace and Wei Yan.

damn it!

The more Feng Duhu thought about it, the angrier he became.

This year, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu have all been more or less affected by the spring drought.

No matter how solid the foundation is, it cannot be said that he is preparing to lose blood on his own initiative while giving Wu Guo blood transfusion.

If Wei Yan really mobilized his forces to capture Gaodu, it would be impossible without paying a price.

Gaodu is the gate of Taihangxing. It was originally a pass city, but it was built on the mountain, and the water was used as the moat.

No matter how powerful the stone cannon is, can it smash down the mountain?

In the end, don't you have to rely on the soldiers to attack from the mountains?

Most of the soldiers in Hedong were from the original Liangzhou army, they were Feng Duhu's old subordinates.

Old man Wei really wanted to force them to attack the city with ants. In Feng Duhu's view, this was no different from sending them to death.

It's like gouging out the flesh in Feng Duhu's heart. Why don't Feng Duhu get angry?

Thinking a little darker, could it be that the palace wants to weaken its influence on the original Liangzhou army, but it is not enough, and actually wants to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Hedong soldiers?

At this thought, Feng Duhu couldn't help but cursed: "Mother Xipi!"

Seeing the mountain chief's extremely gloomy expression, wanting to kill in anger, Zhang Yuan quickly persuaded:

"Shan Zhang, don't get angry. It's the end of autumn. In another month, the place north of the river will snow."

"Even if Shangdang is surrounded by mountains and not as cold as Yanmen, it is still not suitable for siege operations."

"So according to the students, the mobilization of troops in Hedong may not necessarily be to fight against the Wei bandits."

Zhang Yuanjiu was with the head of the mountain for a long time, and he knew that the head of the mountain and Wei Yan were at odds—in fact, I heard that no matter whether it was in the army or in the court, almost no one got along with Wei Yan.

But Wei Yan is the general of the left hussars, who is above the head of the general of the right hussars, and his qualifications in the army are also older than the elders of the mountain.

The imperial court established the Hedong Governor's Mansion, and Wei Yan was appointed as the first governor. It is obvious that there are people in the court who are not dealing with the head of the mountain.

After all, who doesn't know the relationship between the soldiers stationed in Hedong and the head of the mountain?

It is not too much to say that Shan Zhang brought it out with one hand.

Now the imperial court has sent these soldiers to Wei Yan, even the blind can see that there is something wrong.

Zhang Yuan doesn't understand the affairs of the court.

But he knew that the more it was at such a time, the more he had to be calm—especially when it was about such a big matter as the battle between the two armies.

Moreover, it is abnormal to mobilize troops on a large scale at this time.

Feng Duhu, who was a little angry, felt like a stream of cool water pouring into Baihui acupoint when he heard what his student said.

Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, then open your eyes again, Feng Yong's eyes finally regain clarity.

"Muzhi, you are right, fortunately you reminded me."

Feng Duhu let out a breath, motioned slightly to Zhang Yuan, then sat on the chair behind him, and fell silent.

He began to reflect on the reasons for his loss of emotional control.

Obviously, after the incident at the Governor's Mansion in Hedong, Wei Yan seemed to be more and more showing signs of becoming his own demon.

Whenever Wei Yan was involved, his emotions would always fluctuate.

Feng Duhu leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and looked into the deepest part of his heart.

Why is this so?

Is it because of Gongli and Wei Yan's cooperation that made him anxious?

Feng Duhu frowned, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

I once said to Mrs. You that the most ruthless emperor's family.

Advise her not to look at the royal family with the old eyes.

But deep down in his heart, why didn't he have unrealistic thoughts about the palace?

After all these years of friendship.

Maybe it's because the more you don't want to lose, the more you will be disappointed and even angry when you lose.

He couldn't express his emotions to the palace explicitly, so he subconsciously transferred his anger to Wei Yan.

Of course, Wei Yan did have reasons to make himself angry.

In fact, calm down and think about it carefully, the use of Wei Yan in the palace just shows that the one in the palace is a real political figure.

In the past, he always laughed at Wei Yan, saying that no one in the court was willing to deal with him, but this just showed that he was a lone minister.

For the emperor, Gu Chen may not be their favorite, but they are definitely their most trusted.

There is nothing wrong with using Wei Yan in the palace - this is a qualified superior.

Thinking of this, Feng Duhu snorted lightly.

Seeing that the expression on Shan Chang's face was cloudy and uncertain, sometimes frowning, sometimes sneering, but he never spoke.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help being a little worried: "The head of the mountain?"

Feng Duhu opened his eyes, and ordered: "Muzhi, tell people not to send letters to Jiang Boyue."

Jiang Wei was left behind by the prime minister.

If the palace is really involved in this matter, then Jiang Wei must be inclined to the palace's decision.

In this case, it is a trivial matter for Jiang Wei to express his position and embarrass Jiang Wei.

If there was a estrangement between the two because of this matter, it would be something Feng Duhu didn't want to see.

Seeing that the head of the mountain had recovered his calm, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "No."

"Also, if that Tuoba Desert Khan begs to come to your door again, you can just meet him."

"clear."

Feng Duhu has no focal length in his eyes, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about:

"As for his request, just try to agree to him."

Regardless of whether Tuoba Xianbei wanted to use the opportunity of the Han and Wei dynasties to unify the grasslands, or had other attempts, Feng Duhu was prepared.

Why not take this opportunity to test out what Tuoba Liwei's real purpose is.

In other words, what the people behind Tuoba Liwei want to do.

"Finally, you help me draw up an official document."

When Zhang Yuan heard it, he quickly studied the ink, and then wrote and waited:

"Sir, please tell me."

"Recommend Shi Bao, the general of Zhonglang, Diannong of Hedong, as the general of Zhonglang of the deputy army, and concurrently recruit General Dong to join the army."

Zhang Yuan was slightly taken aback, but he wasn't too surprised, he just asked:

"What's the reason?"

"Just make up one, and it's okay to say that he has accumulated credit, or that he has economical talents."

Feng Duhu said indifferently.

For Shi Bao, this is another big leap forward.

But to Feng Duhu, it seemed that it was just a trivial matter to mention casually.

that's the truth.

Even the Governor's Mansion of Hedong has been set up in the palace. Now Feng Duhu wants to promote a Diannong Zhonglang from Hedong, is it too much?

"Shan Zhang, it's finished."

"Go get my big seal and seal it, and then send someone back to Chang'an."

"Also, I will leave Pingcheng and head south in a few days."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan suddenly showed surprise on his face:

"Shan Zhang, are you in such a hurry? General Liu (that is, Liu Hun) hasn't returned to the teacher yet, why don't you wait?"

"No more." Feng Duhu stood up and exhaled, "Since I have decided to agree to Tuoba Desert Khan, then in the next few years, I must show Tuoba Xianbei."

"It doesn't matter if we see Liu Hun or not."

If it is said that Tan Shihuai led Xianbei to rise for the first time, then Ke Bi Neng can barely be regarded as bringing back the glory of Xianbei.

Now that Tuoba Liwei wanted to come for the third time, he had to ask Feng Duhu for his opinion.

Liu Hun and Tufa set them up, in addition to cutting off the source of war horses in Youzhou in various senses, they were also responsible for monitoring the mergers among the tribes on the grassland to prevent someone from unifying the grassland.

Tuoba Xianbei is now mainly active in the northern part of Monan.

Before there was no Sanxing in the Han Dynasty, the big Han had no energy and no time to go out for expeditions.

It is still necessary to solve the problem of the Central Plains first.

Liu Hun and the others are doing pretty well now, and there is no need to make major adjustments.

Feng Duhu rubbed his brows, looking a little helpless:

"After returning to Chang'an, I will send someone to send you a plan."

The left and right wives are not around, and no one can help to make suggestions, whether it is in terms of political strategy or military situation.

Coupled with the fact that they are far away from Chang'an, they have not been able to grasp the recent specific movements of the DPRK and China in a timely manner.

Feng Duhu's analysis of Tuoba Xianbei and the analysis of the mobilization of troops in Hedong was a little bit powerless.

In other words, the older you are, the less courageous you are, and you dare not draw conclusions as easily as before.

This is also the reason why Feng Duhu decided to leave Pingcheng early after learning about Hedong.

After Zhang Yuan withdrew, Feng Duhu sat there with his eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he felt someone gently rubbing his temples.

You don't need to open your eyes, just by smelling the scent of powder on your body, you know it's Li Mu.

With four wives and concubines plus one mistress, Li Mu is the one who has the most research on fragrance powder.

After all, she was born as a daughter of an aristocratic family.

It is estimated that I have learned when to use what kind of face powder.

Just like now, with a little fragrance, it makes people feel calm.

"Busy working?"

Feng Duhu closed his eyes and enjoyed Li Mu's service, and asked.

"There is nothing to be busy. We already have a mature process in the wool spinning workshop."

Li Mu knew what Feng Duhu was asking, and replied:

"Although Liangzhou's model cannot be directly applied, if it is modified according to Bingzhou's situation, the difference will not be too great."

Feng Duhu hummed:

"You have experience in this matter, so you can do whatever you say. However, Jiuyuan and Yanmen are the foundation of our Xinghan Association, so you should be careful."

When Liangzhou was recovered, the prime minister was still there.

There are some things that Feng Duhu can't decide, nor can he let go.

But Jiuyuan Hepingcheng is different.

That's what Xinghan gave up a considerable part of the benefits in exchange for, and it can be regarded as guarding the frontier for the country.

Otherwise, apart from the organized white gloves of the Xinghan Society, who would take such a big risk to come to the long-abandoned frontier to teach Hu Yi?

"I understand."

Li Mu paused, and then suggested, "If Ah Lang is worried, why don't you let my brothers come over and have a look?"

Feng Duhu smiled, opened his eyes, and tried to tilt his head back, wanting to see Li Mu's face:

"You sister, you really don't show any kindness to your own brother. Are you really planning to use it to death?"

"For so many years, the couple has been running around, but they have never settled down."

"Even if the two children are taken care of by the clan, it's hard for them. Even if they don't have credit, they still have hard work."

"Since I promised them to settle down in Chang'an in the future, I must not break my promise. If it is not possible, let them send some disciples over to have a look."

Hearing what Feng Duhu said, Li Mu was a little embarrassed:

"The concubine just wants to let them take credit for their achievements, so that no one will say that they borrowed Alang's power."

When Feng Duhu heard this, he just laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes:

"Even if it is solid, no one behind the scenes will say that they borrowed my power?"

With the template of the prime minister in front, latecomers will always subconsciously demand themselves according to the prime minister's standards.

And others will intentionally or unintentionally use the prime minister's standard to judge the latecomers who succeed the prime minister.

It's just that in history, there was only one prime minister of Shu Han.

And I am afraid that the palace does not want to see the second prime minister appear again.

Regarding this point, Feng Duhu was very self-aware.

"If you have meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded. Does it mean that if you don't reward your own people for their deeds, others will be convinced by you?"

Thinking of what happened these days, Feng Duhu became a little irritable again:

Maybe your retreat may be regarded as weakness by others.

"Xu Sanniang is called a master, and your brother's credit is behind it. Xu Sanniang has no way to become an official, but if you ask your brother to take a job under Dasinong, no one will say anything."

When Li Mu heard this, he was both surprised and delighted.

As A Lang, he personally arranged for his younger brother to take up a job, but this job is probably not a small one.

"Is it okay? I'm afraid someone..."

She wanted to say, "I was afraid that someone would say that Alang was playing for selfishness", but when she remembered what Alang said just now, she swallowed the second half of the sentence back.

"What's wrong, you go back and ask his opinion to see if he has any ideas."

Li Mu blurted out without thinking: "What ideas can he have!"

After finishing speaking, it was only then that I realized that the words were inappropriate, and quickly explained:

"As his sister, I naturally know what he thinks."

Feng Duhu smiled. It seems that Li Tong will probably live in Li Mu's shadow for the rest of his life.

He wanted to stand up, saying that it might be too difficult for him to surpass his brother-in-law.

But at least he must surpass President Li, right?

It's just that President Li has no official position now, but the resources she has are not enough for ten Li families, let alone one Li Tong.

Li Mu's massage made Feng Duhu recover a bit:

"Where's Amei? Haven't come back yet?"

"No, after arriving in Pingcheng, she is always mysterious."

Feng Duhu smiled strangely: "I'm busy casting a tripod, so naturally I want to be more mysterious."

Li Mu:? ?

Feng Duhu didn't explain, and on the second day, he went to the mine to inspect it.

Then the barbarians in Pingcheng discovered that, as winter was approaching, there were more and more thunderclaps in the mountains.

"Ah Lang, iron is still not enough. From the current point of view, copper is the most suitable."

Amei was holding the folder, which recorded extremely complicated test data.

She looked down at the data and said seriously:

"Of course, the quality of the iron smelted here in Yanmen this year is much better than before. Maybe we can try copper-iron composite."

"Bronze is copper." Feng Duhu nodded, feeling a little helpless.

"But where do we find so much copper?"

"Not before, but not necessarily now." Feng Duhu patted the tripod beside him, "I found a silver mine on the side of Langshan Mountain. I plan to use this silver mine to exchange some copper with the imperial court."

The copper mine in Nanzhong has been mined for so many years, and the imperial court must have a lot of stocks.

It doesn't matter if there is no stock, the big deal is to pay in installments.

After reflecting on the things he had encountered recently, Feng Duhu felt that he had to speed up the speed of making the tripod.

It's just that the materials for Ding have not been solved yet, and the actual application will not be until the Year of the Monkey.

But first build a big tripod for display and scare people who don't know where it is, it's okay to think about it.

Who said that the big tripod must be square?

I just like round ones, don't you?
