Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1265 Chess Pieces and Chess Players

"Pei Gong, this is not quite the same as what I said at the beginning!"

In the mansion of the Great General of Zhenbei, in a small courtyard where servants were not allowed to approach, someone looked suspiciously at Mr. Pei sitting on the main seat.

And most of the people around him also had expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

When Pei Qian heard this, he snorted heavily, without raising his eyelids, he just replied in a bad tone:

"Why don't you go talk to Da Sima?"

In a word, everyone choked on the spot.

Someone couldn't help but slander:

If we have the opportunity to confront Feng Wenhe in court, why do we need you to be our spokesman?

Of course, it is not necessary to persuade Da Sima in court.

As long as Da Sima can meet them, it would be great for them to have the opportunity to tell Da Sima about the suffering of local tyranny.

It's a pity that the threshold for Da Sima Mansion is too high.

The gate of Da Sima Mansion is really too difficult to enter.

It seemed that he could see what everyone was thinking, but seeing Pei Qian coldly snorted again:

"Back then when you asked to come to the old man's house, the old man showed his old face because of the solidarity of the Kanto clan, but he was publicly humiliated by Feng Mingwen in the court hall."

Having said that, he raised his eyelids and looked at everyone coldly:

"Why? The result is not as you expected. You guys are not happy. Could it be that this old man is happy?"

Seeing Pei Qian like this, and remembering that he was murdered by someone Feng in the court hall, someone quickly laughed along with him:

"Don't dare, dare not!"

"It's just that Feng Mingwen is really deceiving people too much! Mr. Pei abandoned the post of Wei Zhishangshuling and came to seek refuge in the Han Kingdom regardless of danger. He never thought that he would be humiliated by Feng Mingwen in this way. Feng's is really inappropriate. son!"

"Yes, yes! If he does this, isn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of people with lofty ideals? Doesn't this make loyal people with ambitions to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty stagnate?"

...

I heard the people below talking and slandering Feng Da Sima.

Pei Qian raised his teacup again to cover up, and at the same time there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

After taking a sip of tea, after they had vented a bit, they put down the teacup and said:

"Feng Mingwen is known for his foresight and foresight, how can he fail to see this?"

Hearing him speak, everyone fell silent, Qi Qi looked at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian continued to speak slowly, "Before I talk about Feng Mingwen's plan, I have some doubts. I would like to ask everyone present, given the current strength of Wei and Han, does Wei Guo still have a chance of winning?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

If it was before the battle of Shangdang, some people might think that Wei Guo might not have no hope of driving Han Guo out of Guanzhong.

But after the Shangdang World War I, no one dared to say that anymore.

At least everyone present did not have this confidence.

If not, what are they eager to do in Chang'an?

With Sima Yi's ability to lead the elite soldiers of the Wei State, he took such a big advantage at the beginning, not only failed to defend Shangdang, but was even driven to Jizhou by the opponent.

I heard that even Hangu Pass was lost in the end.

Originally, Han was strong and Wei was weak, but Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, the two power ministers of the Wei state, were still at odds with each other.

How can I fight this?

It can be said that this battle of the Shangdang completely defeated many aristocratic Kanto families.

In other words, many members of the Kanto family felt hopeless.

Seeing everyone like this, Pei Qian already had an answer in his heart. He waited for a long time, but no one answered, so he continued on his own:

"There are no outsiders here, so the old man will just say what is in his heart. The reason why the old man abandoned Wei's high position and is willing to surrender to the Han is because he knows that Wei is difficult to defeat the Han."

"And you, even if you can't see the general trend of the world clearly, you should know that the Han is strong and the Wei is weak, otherwise, there will be no move to come to the old man to intercede."

With that said, Pei Qian pointed at everyone, "Things that you can all see, guess if Feng Mingwen, who is known for his foresight, can see it?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was even more difficult for everyone to answer.

After a while, someone asked in a difficult tone:

"Pei Gong means that Feng Mingwen did it on purpose, or did he have other schemes?"

Pei Qian sneered:

"Given the current situation of the big man, what other schemes does Feng Mingwen need? He did it on purpose, deliberately forcing the wealthy families from the Kanto region to move into Guanzhong."

"It's called Tongyi, but what is the difference between it and the former Hanling Town? It's just a different name."

Pei Qian's words mercilessly crushed everyone's fluke mentality and that trace of fantasy:

"He is not afraid of the Guandong refusal at all! In the past, the great Han only ruled a state, and Wei was strong and the Han was weak, so he still dared to kill the family in Shu. Now that the Han is strong and Wei is weak, how can he have any reason to be afraid?"

How did the ruthless Xiao Wenhe get the name?

It was built with the bones of the barbarians in Nanzhong and the blood and tears of the families in Shu.

Hearing these words, most of them felt a trace of despair in their hearts.

Along with despair, there is also that full of resentment.

It's just that this kind of desperate resentment is even more aggrieved.

Pei Qian took everyone's expressions into his eyes, knowing that the fire had come, so he slowed down his tone:

"But in fact, you don't have to worry. Although Feng Mingwen is ruthless, he is definitely not someone who pushes people to a dead end."

"If you don't believe me, look at the current Nanzhong, look at the current Shu land? He is the great Sima of the big man!"

Pei Qian emphasized his tone, "He can give the Hu Yi people a way out, so how can he drive the big Han officials to a dead end?"

After more than ten years of development, the Nanzhong of the Great Han Dynasty has re-drilled the five-foot road left by the Qin Dynasty, and restored the legendary trading splendor.

Part of the world-famous brown sugar is produced in Nanzhong.

And the honey wine sought after by those caravan guards and porters is only produced in Nanzhong.

Even the children of Yi people can go to school, and they can even be recommended to study in Chang'an.

"That's right, when Mr. Pei said that, I did remember it. I heard that the family of Li's clan in Shu, the worst place in the past, has children who are now serving as officials in Liangzhou..."

Not only in Liangzhou, but even though the aristocratic families in Shu had been seriously injured in the past few years, not to mention their entry into official positions, even the Royal Academy established by Feng has not refused them to enroll.

Someone's eyes lit up and asked tentatively:

"Pei Gong is saying that we also have a chance?"

Pei Qian smiled enigmatically:

"Opportunities are for those who have a heart." He looked at everyone, "I think everyone is clear about the big man's attitude towards the aristocratic family."

He sighed, "In the future, it will be almost impossible for us big clans to be as free as we have been in these years."

This sentence really touched everyone's heart.

That's right, after Emperor Wen of Wei ascended the throne, everyone thought that the best era for the aristocratic family was coming.

Unexpectedly, within a few years of good times, Ji Han popped up from Shu again.

And in just over ten years, Wei was almost torn apart.

Could it be that this Liu family is really the destiny?

"Ji Han has just recovered Guanzhong, and the emperor immediately moved his capital to Chang'an, and now he is going to move the Guandong clan into Guanzhong. According to the old man, this is an attempt to follow the example of the former Han!"

"That's why the old man thinks that everyone should make plans as soon as possible. The former Han Dynasty wanted to suppress the wealthy people in the Guandong, but it achieved the prosperity of Wuling."

"Nowadays, Ji Han wants to suppress our Kanto family, and the current Kanto family is much stronger than the former Han dynasty. Could it be that we can't turn to the guests and create another grand occasion of Wuling?"

In Pingling alone, there were five prime ministers in the former Han Dynasty.

Among them, the well-known Jingzhao Webster was a prominent family in Guannei who was the third and third prince and the fourth prince in the former Han Dynasty. He also moved to Pingling.

Seeing that most people still have hesitation on their faces.

Pei Qian continued:

"The old man knows that if everyone abandons the foundation of their family business and moves to Guanzhong, it can be said to be a major event related to the life and death of the entire family."

"Whoever has a choice, who is willing to do this? It's just that with Feng Mingwen's heart, once the order is implemented, it must be a ruthless method."

"Even if the world is so big at that time, how can you avoid it? That's why I advise you, it's better to make plans as soon as possible."

Someone sighed:

"Pei Gong, it's easy to talk about recreating the prosperity of Wuling, but it's not easy to do it."

"I'm afraid that when we arrive in Guanzhong, we will become the fish under Feng Mingwen's knife and let him slaughter us!"

After all, Feng Wenhe's notoriety is well known in the world.

Unexpectedly, Pei Qian seemed to have anticipated the other party's worries a long time ago, but he smiled and took a roll of paper from his sleeve pocket like a magic trick:

"Don't I know what you are worried about? Although I was humiliated by Feng Mingwen in the court, I still have a bit of shame in the end."

As he spoke, he spread out the paper, "Feng Mingwen is powerful, and it's not easy for the emperor to refute his face in the open."

"That's why the emperor specially brought me into the palace on the second day, and comforted me with gentle words. Finally, before I left the palace, His Majesty gave me something back."

Hearing what Pei Qian said, everyone couldn't help turning their eyes to the piece of paper.

"Feng Gong, you are a person of high moral character here, why don't you read it to everyone?"

The old man called Feng Gong curiously took the paper that Pei Qian handed over, glanced at it, and let out a "huh".

"The first five-year plan for Tongyi?"

What kind of weird document is this?

After Feng Gong read the first sentence, he couldn't help but look up at Pei Qian.

Pei Qian smiled and said nothing.

Feng Gong had no choice but to continue reading.

"The First Five-Year Plan of Tongyi" not only planned the location of the first Tongyi, but also explained the role of Tongyi in detail.

The most important thing is that it not only talks about how to use Tongyi to connect Chang'an and Jiuyuan, but also involves the future development direction of Tongyi.

"The land of Henan (that is, the Hetao area, not Henan County) has abundant water and grass, and the land is fertile. It is also cultivated and herded. It is a land given by God for animal husbandry."

"However, the land is vast and the population is sparse, and Cao Cao moved all the Han people into Taiyuan, resulting in all the land in Henan being occupied by the Hu people. It is a pity!"

"If you can gain the power of Guanzhong, reset the border city of Guansai, and the grand occasion of the former Han Dynasty with cattle, sheep and horses all over the north and south of the river will not be invisible."

"And wool is used by the people for daily use, and Jiuyuan is a good land..."

Among other things, someone's eyes lit up just by hearing this stuff.

That's right, whether the wool or wool from Jiuyuan is good, as long as it is transported to Chang'an, it must pass through Tongyi.

All kinds of materials transported from Chang'an to Jiuyuan are also transferred through Tongyi.

This, this, this!

Wool, wool, brown sugar, tea, grain...

Even if it's just a pass, it's full of oil!

Listen, listen again!

What?

Do you want to borrow the people's and financial resources of Tongyi to realize Jiuyuan?

Can the children of Tongyi choose the best to enter the Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion as officials?

Isn't that the opportunity to participate in the transaction with the barbarians?

People in Tongyi can go to the Jiuyuan enclosure to raise sheep and shear wool?

You can also buy a place in the woolen workshop!

The wool workshops in Jiuyuan and Yanmen are basically owned by the Xinghan Society.

After all, this is compensation from the imperial court Xinghanhui.

But to the north of Yanmenhan, plus the entire old place of Jiuyuan, how big is it?

Even with Xinghanhui's ability, they can only pick and choose and circle some of the best places.

The human, material and financial resources invested are like throwing a stone in the great lake, causing at most a few ripples.

Not to mention that the development focus of Xinghanhui is still on coal and iron.

The white-haired and bearded Feng Gong, the more he read, the more rapid and high-pitched his voice became, and the many wrinkles on his face and forehead were continuously stretched out.

Although this memorandum is a bit special, the words are too straightforward, but the content can't stand it!

Make people want to listen more and more.

"Alas, Duke Feng, Duke Feng, please slow down, please slow down, let me hear you clearly."

"Don't worry, after Mr. Feng finishes reading, everyone can pass it on to each other."

Pei Qian said slowly, "But only here, outside this room, I haven't seen a word of the contents of this memorial."

"understand!"

"Understand, understand!"

The bottom side echoed, while scrambling to circulate.

This is the imperial court's plan for Tongyi in the next five years.

Although there is only a five-year period, it is enough for people to take advantage of it.

In this kind of matter, whoever takes the lead will take advantage of it.

Someone also praised:

"Your Majesty still values ​​Duke Pei, and this kind of secret performance can also be shown to Duke Pei."

Pei Qian said lightly:

"How wise is the Son of Heaven? I plead for you, do you think His Majesty won't see it?"

"Your Majesty gave me this thing, in fact, to tell me that the imperial court has actually considered the establishment of Tongyi for a long time."

"Your Majesty asked me to take this item because he wanted me to win over the Kanto family after Feng Mingwen rectified the Kanto family."

The half-truth and half-false words immediately made everyone present stand in awe.

Sure enough, His Majesty still values ​​Pei Gong.

Pei Qian glanced at the crowd, "As the saying goes, you are the first group of people I want to appease."

"I don't hesitate to reveal this secret, it's not insincere, I just hope that you don't let me down, and make me lose face in front of Your Majesty."

"Grateful for Pei Gong's kindness!"

"Thank you, Mr. Pei."

——

"Snapped!"

In Gui Palace, the queen dropped a chess piece and looked at the emperor with a smile.

A Dou scratched his head a little:

"I feel like I'm going to lose again with the queen's move."

——

"Snapped!"

At Da Sima's mansion, Feng Da Sima also dropped a chess piece, and then shouted:

"Five in a row! Win!"

He stretched out his hand and flicked Hua Xiaowu's forehead.

Ga bang!

Hua Xiaowu rubbed his red forehead, glared at Guiwang Feng who was opposite, and dared not speak out.
