Farmer of Shu Han

What happened on the grassland has not yet reached Chang'an.

And Feng Da Sima has not returned to Chang'an yet.

However, after Feng Da Sima and Fei Shangshu Ling met at Wuzhangyuan, some of the ships that entered the Wei River from Wugong River stayed in Chang'an after arriving in Chang'an.

A considerable part of it continued down the river to Tongguan, and then was transported to Hedong via Fenglingdu.

Finally, it goes from Hedong to the north until Taiyuan.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

Since Feng Da Sima decided to take advantage of the civil strife in Soochow to take action, he naturally had to prepare food and grass in advance.

This is to avoid being like the battle at Shangdang, where they clearly had the advantage, but in the end they had to retreat early due to lack of food and grass.

And this time, Feng Da Sima took out all his family wealth.

Even though this family fortune has to be paid for at this time.

But no matter what, this vote at the end of the year is still a bit hasty.

The plan was to first find out the basics of Tuoba Xianbei, at least have a general understanding, and make a plan for the northern grasslands, and then start the eastward expedition.

It's just that in this world, plans can't change as quickly as they do - nine times out of ten, things in this world won't always wait for you to be fully prepared.

On the Shangshutai side, they are stepping up their efforts to deliver food and grass to the front line, and Feng Da Sima also plans to take advantage of this trip to visit the camps of the Guanzhong armies.

However, this matter was slightly delayed for a while because of the arrival of someone.

"The last general, Feng Ye, pays homage to the Lord."

In the old camp in Wuzhangyuan, Feng Dasima was holding a big bowl and eating happily.

What's in the bowl is off-white jelly, with dogwood oil poured on it, and some cucumber shreds, chopped coriander and other side dishes.

In this sultry weather, eating such a mouthful of jelly is both appetizing and refreshing.

As an important grain prepared for shortages, the output of Yutou has been high over the years.

But this thing cannot be stored for a long time like staple food.

So it can be ground into powder and sent to the labor force. Of course, it can also be fed to the Hu people who have just naturalized from the grassland.

Or make it into jelly and use it as a food supplement for the public.

Just like now, I feel very comfortable after taking a bite of jelly.

It is said that Feng Da Sima was very particular about food.

But in fact, if he can have such a mouthful of food when he is out, there is no need for him to be too picky.

Feng Dashima is still very approachable.

"Want a bowl?"

The imageless Feng Da Sima took another big mouthful of jelly and asked Old Feng.

Old Feng was originally nervous, but after seeing Feng Da Sima's appearance, he suddenly relaxed a lot.

"this……"

But he never expected that the first time he saw Junhou, he would look like this.

"General, thank you sir."

The eyes seem a little warm.

The last time I had the opportunity to have a meal with the monarch was more than ten years ago in the battle of Xiaoguan. After defeating Cao Cao's thieves, the whole army used water as wine and the ground as a table to eat and drink together.

The more distant memory is that of Junhou when he was young, wandering around the Nanxiang workshop with a meat pie in his hand...

At that time, Lao Feng was still young.

Therefore, many people do not understand why the disciples of Nanxiang did not hesitate to move forward even if there was boiling water and fire in front of them when the king gave the order.

Because it was Junhou who pulled himself and others out of the abyss, not only giving them hope, but also the future.

If you have not experienced the tragedy of exchanging children for food, how would you know how precious it is to have a family and a career today?

A bowl of jelly was brought in.

"Sit down and talk while we eat."

Feng Dasima signaled.

Although he came here after eating, Old Feng still thanked him again, then he sat down and started eating from the big bowl.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to Nanxiang back then.

"I remember, Hulu, you have been guarding Hanjia for, Hulu, twelve years, right?"

Feng Da Sima asked while eating.

"Back to the Lord, that's right."

"Let you sit down and eat without having to stand up."

Feng Da Sima glared.

Then he took another bite and continued to ask:

"In the early years, Hanjia County was constantly in chaos. The Prime Minister had always wanted to solve this problem before he was alive, but..."

When Da Sima Feng said this, he shook his head, then glanced at Old Feng, "You are very good."

Although Hanjia County is located on the edge of Shu County in the heart of Yizhou, it is adjacent to the Hengduan Mountains to the west and has complex terrain. Since the late emperor entered Shu, there have been constant rebellions there.

In the original historical line, Hanjia's rebellion has never been well resolved. Even the general Jiang Wei personally led troops to quell the rebellion.

And the repeated rebellions in Hanjia County will affect the stability of Shu County - as the capital of Shu Kingdom, Jincheng belongs to Shu County.

If you want to completely quell the Han-Jiayi rebellion, it is not enough to just send troops to quell the rebellion.

The reason is still because of the Hengduan Mountains. When the rebellious barbarians see that the momentum is not right, they will run to the barren mountains to hide.

As soon as the army leaves, they will come out to cause trouble again.

In addition, there were too few Han people to support the Han people's effective control there.

Therefore, after the Battle of Xiaoguan laid the foundation for the recovery of Liangzhou, it was also under the premise of continuous development of Nanzhong.

Only then did the Prime Minister come up with the idea of ​​integrating the rear area of ​​Yizhou and filling in the last piece of the puzzle of Hanjia County.

Only then did Feng Xiaowen and the Li family of Shu be completely dismembered and found a crime. He demoted the eldest son of the Li family, the most populous, to Hanjia County to consolidate the border county.

(Chapter 0833 The last piece of the puzzle in Shu)

Of course, when Feng Dashima said that Lao Feng was good, he did not praise him casually, but sincerely.

Despite the Prime Minister's vision and Feng Xiaowenhe's operation, the barbarian land definitely needs an executor who is tough and can carry out the will of the superiors to the letter in the early stage.

To be honest, Lao Feng was not the best candidate at the beginning.

At least in the Nanxiang literacy movement, his progress was relatively slow.

But at that time, Feng did not have many candidates at hand.

For the upcoming governance of Liangzhou, it is much more important than just Hanjia County.

The good news is that some people can be the first to arrive.

Especially after Lao Feng married a daughter of the Li family, his progress suddenly became rapid.

This also proves one thing from the side: marry a virtuous wife.

After these years of governance, Hanjia County has become completely stable.

His transfer from Hanjia County to Guanzhong is enough to prove his achievements over the years.

Feng Da Sima praised Old Feng a few words, waved his hand to tell him not to be humble, and then asked some questions about Hanjia County.

Hanjia County is a typical example of forced immigration to the real border, especially involving aristocratic families. Both the experience and lessons are of great significance.

In fact, Feng Da Sima had the confidence to establish Tongyi in the north of Chang'an and move the large-scale annexation of Shijiuyuan, a wealthy family in Hedong, because of the experience of Hanjia County and other places.

Although the situation in Hanjia County will be explained in official documents, face-to-face communication with the guard who has been guarding Hanjia County for more than ten years will ultimately be more realistic and detailed.

After asking, Feng Dasima changed the topic and brought up the topic again:

"You know, in transferring you back to Guanzhong this time, in addition to praising your merits, I also decided to add some burdens to you."

With that said, Feng Da Sima put down the big bowl and glanced at Old Feng.

"The final general will definitely not let down the trust of the king!"

Old Feng also put down the big bowl, stood up and clasped his fists.

Feng Da Sima stretched out his hand, motioned for him to sit down again, and said:

"It's good that you have this determination, but there are many things that require more than just determination."

After pondering for a moment, he continued, "The establishment of the United Army Mansion is not a secret. It has been planned for quite a while."

"This time, not only have you been summoned back, but many old brothers from the local area have also been mobilized. The imperial court still attaches great importance to this matter."

When Lao Feng heard this, his expression became solemn, and at the same time, he couldn't help but straighten his waist.

Although he had made a lot of preparations, he really didn't know how seriously the court paid attention to this matter.

"So, in addition to being determined in this matter, we must also pay attention to solving various problems and difficulties at all times. Don't let small problems accumulate into big problems, and small difficulties accumulate into big difficulties."

Hearing Junhou's words, Old Feng understood, and he quickly said:

"If you want to talk about problems and difficulties, there must be some. As for the junior general, I have been looking for my old brothers everywhere recently. If not, I'm afraid there won't even be enough people to train when I really want to go to the Tongjun Mansion."

Feng Da Sima thoughtfully picked up the big bowl, drank the little bit of soup, and then said:

"Don't worry too much about this. Next year there should be a group of soldiers who have retired from the army. At that time, the Central Protectorate will give you priority to choose."

Lao Feng: Should? ——

Time soon came to the end of summer in the eighth year of Yanxi, and the heat was already showing signs of subside.

However, the intensity of material transportation from Wugong River to Weishui River has not declined as the temperature has dropped, but has become even busier.

The supplies passing through the Wei River were densely packed from west to east, and seemed overcrowded. Some of the supplies even landed at the intersection and were then transported by land to Chang'an.

After the Wei River passed through Chang'an, the transportation pressure suddenly became smaller again.

Because Emperor Xiaowu dug a Guanzhong canal for later generations, it almost ran parallel to the Wei River.

This canal was originally intended to better transport materials from Hedong and even Guandong to Guanzhong.

Now, the situation is reversed, and it has become more convenient to transport supplies from Guanzhong to Hedong and other places.

Naturally, the movements in Guanzhong Hedong and even Taiyuan could not be hidden from Sima Yi, who had been keeping a close eye on the west of Taihang Mountain.

Although it relied on the natural dangers of the Taihang Mountains, it also formed an alliance with the largest tribe in the northern grasslands.

But Sima Yi did not dare to take it lightly.

No matter how dangerous the terrain is, is it possible to beat the journey north from Hanzhong?

Kuang Gu's country does not rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers, but on the people's hearts.

It’s just that Wei’s people’s hearts...

Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh.

The great Wei Dynasty is already in deep trouble.

If not, we wouldn't be where we are today.

As soon as he thought about this, Sima Yi couldn't help but think of a person.

The first emperor (i.e. Cao Rui).

When the late emperor was still alive, he had the intention to suppress the rich and powerful people of the wealthy families and benefit the Cangtou Guizhou people.

But every time he wanted to take action, Han would take action on the border.

Under pressure, he had to give up in exchange for the family's support - of course, the Sima family was also part of the effort to thwart the late emperor's move.

To this day, from the perspective of governing Hebei, Sima Yi knows very well that the late emperor's approach of giving way to Cangtou and Guizhou was indeed conducive to increasing national strength.

But from the perspective of the aristocratic family, Sima, as the leader promoted by Hebei, if he really dared to do this, it would mean betrayal of the aristocratic family.

well……

Sima Yi sighed sadly again:

One name is missing!

If the Sima family is the leader of the Wei Dynasty, has great righteousness, and takes into account the interests of the family and makes slight concessions to the people, Sima Yi is confident that he can balance the two.

But it is a pity that the Sima family at this time is just a representative elected by the family, and his reputation is not justified.

Not to mention that Hebei at this time was facing a more severe situation than the late emperor.

So Sima Yi knew that he had no choice.

We can only continue to try to get more support from the family.

As for Cangtou Guizhou, he no longer cares about them at this time.

A burst of rapid footsteps interrupted Sima Yi's contemplation.

"Sir, I want to see my child Zhao."

"It's Zi Shang," Sima Yi calmed down his emotions and tried to keep his tone calm, "Come in."

"Sir, I heard that there is something going on over there in the west."

After Sima Zhao came in and saw the ceremony, he couldn't wait to say something.

"Well, I already know."

Sima Yi looked at his somewhat unstable son and said slowly, "Isn't this normal?"

Sima Zhao was slightly startled: "Is it... normal?"

"Why is it not normal? There will be a day like this sooner or later, isn't it?"

Sima Yi looked indifferent and felt a little sad in his heart. In the end, Zishang was still not as good as Ziyuan.

Hearing this, Sima Zhao looked a little embarrassed.

Although the adult didn't say it explicitly, he knew that his impatience had made the adult unhappy.

It's just...you can't blame yourself for this.

Feng's shadow was almost as big as that of Hebei in Sima Zhao's heart.

Especially after being driven across the river from Luoyang by the Han army, Sima Zhao was already a little afraid, so he was even more frightened when he heard about Feng.

Now there is news from the west of Taihang Mountain that there is movement in the Han Kingdom, and the movement is not small.

Does this mean that Feng is about to fight?

That's why he hurried over and wanted to ask his master for advice.

"The dangers of Taihang, even Emperor Wu once said: Going north to the Taihang Mountains is so difficult and majestic. How could it be so easy for the Han army to cross the Taihang Mountains?"

Although he was worried about the movements in the Han Kingdom, Sima Yi knew that he could not show the slightest worry in front of outsiders.

Not even his own son.

"My child thought that after the Han Dynasty captured Luoyang, they would attack Guandong first, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, Feng Guiwang saw through the master's plan.

Facing such an opponent, Sima Zhao couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.

It is indeed the terrifying Ghost King Feng!

Did even the master's plan fail?

Sima Yi seemed to see Sima Zhao's mentality. He stood up and sighed. He didn't know how much he sighed today.

"There is no way to defend Luoyang. It is a helpless move to use Luoyang to lead the Han army to Guandong. It is gratifying if it can be done, but it is reasonable if it cannot be done."

"Feng Mingwen is the leader of the Han Dynasty after Zhuge Kongming. He has unparalleled intelligence. How can we hope that this person will be confused?"

"It's just that compared to Hedong and Taiyuan, I'm more worried about Luoyang."

Sima Zhao's already heavy heart skipped a beat and became even heavier when he heard the word Luoyang.

Luoyang carries some unpleasant memories.

"Sir, why are you worried about Luoyang?"

Sima Zhao took a deep breath and then asked.

"Hanoi."

Sima Yi's eyes became dark, "There is Hedong to the west of Hanoi, and Henan to the south. Especially in the south, although there are big rivers, they are not as dangerous as Taihang."

When King Wu defeated Zhou, he crossed the river from Mengjin in Henan to the north.

"What do you mean, sir, that the Han army will march north from Luoyang?"

"Who knows?" Sima Yi said slowly, "At least if Hanoi is attacked from Hedong and Henan, Hanoi will be in danger."

Thinking that Taihangxing had lost Tianjing Pass and the threat from Hedong had become much greater, Sima Yi felt a pain in his heart again.

It was in that battle that Ziyuan was seriously injured and returned to Luoyang to recover from his injuries and died.

"Zishang, please pay attention these days and see if Guanzhong has transported grain and grass to Luoyang."

Although the Han army gained Henan, Luoyang was narrow and the Han army was stationed here, so grain supplies needed to be transported from Guanzhong.

Between Luoyang and Guanzhong, there is only the ancient Weihan Road connecting Guanzhong. Although there is no problem for pedestrians, it is difficult to transport food there.

As for using the big river, that’s not to say it’s impossible.

However, it is necessary to mobilize a large number of civilians, and at the same time, the plank roads and pavilions on both sides of the river must be repaired to facilitate trackers to pull boats.

Therefore, if you want to know where Han will go next, you need to focus on the direction of Luoyang.

At least for Sima Yi, as long as there is no movement in Luoyang, he can still rely on Taihang Mountain to defend.

According to the information currently available, Luoyang is relatively quiet.

This is also the reason why Sima Yi can still sit still.
