Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 677: Gongsun Zheng

During the Qiang chaos in Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Feng Yong knew some things, but Feng Yong didn't know many things.

Gongsun Zheng talked about the recent large-scale Qiang rebellion in detail, and only then did Feng Yong have a rough overall impression of Liangzhou Qianghu.

"The Qiang Hu who besieged Didao this time, someone held up the slogan of Ping Han King..."

"What did you say?"

Feng Yong's face darkened when he heard this.

Ping Han? Ping who's Han?

Needless to say, Han Suimateng was one of the three major warlords in Liangzhou back then. Song Jian separatist ruled western Longxi for 30 years, and even took the title of King Ping Han, which makes people uncomfortable.

I didn't expect that someone would dare to propose this name now?

It seems that when Xia Houyuan slaughtered Song Jian, the small court of King Ping Han, he didn't frighten them, and dared to use this unlucky name.

"Your Majesty, although the Cao bandits killed Song Jian back then, they actually gave up on the Heguan and Fanghan areas in the end. Therefore, the Qiang Di revived and occupied Song Jian's old land."

Seeing Feng Yong's expression, Gongsun Zheng lifted his spirits, and quickly said, "Over the years, the Qiang Hu has become more and more rampant. It's really treasonous to dare to mention the name of Pinghan Kingdom again."

"Back then Cao thief could destroy him, so could the big man." Feng Yong said coldly with a gloomy face.

The boss and the second child were fighting, and there was a third child next to him who was about to stab a knife.

But in any case, it is a family matter, and outsiders getting involved is courting death.

On the contrary, Chen Shi was calmer. Hearing Feng Yongyou's intention to send troops to Di Dao and even Fang Han, he quickly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, the Qiang and Hu are rebelling, and the Cao bandits are watching. You should be careful."

Feng Yong nodded, "Chen Taishou don't worry, I have my own ideas."

Raiding Longxi and controlling the passage to Liangzhou was Mr. Zhao's plan, and Feng Yong would naturally not say it on this occasion.

"By the way, Prefect Chen, how many troops are there in Shouyang?" Feng Yong asked again.

"Hui Junhou, there are three hundred people." Chen Shi replied quickly.

Longxi's troops were mainly concentrated in Xiangwu, and three hundred troops were placed in Shouyang, not many, but enough.

If the Cao thief really did invade Di Dao, Shouyang is not a place that must be defended.

Ordinary thieves would not dare to touch a city guarded by three hundred soldiers.

If the Qiang Hu invaded, as long as they defended for two days, it would be enough for Xiangwu to send troops to support them.

After asking some more about Longxi's situation, the crowd dispersed.

Chen Shi personally arranged the residence.

Before going to sleep, seeing Guan Ji push the door and come in, Feng Yong asked, "Is everything arranged?"

Guan Ji nodded, "As usual, the personal guards are in the first lane, and the maids are in the second lane. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Feng Yong smiled and said, "Why am I worried? On the contrary, I think Xijun is a little too nervous. This is in Xiangwu City, and it's not a dangerous place."

Guan Ji understood Feng Yong's words, and frowned slightly.

In this regard, she has always been a little worried about A Lang's attitude.

Immediately, he glared at Feng Yong, "It's because A Lang thinks so, so I have to be more careful. The easier it is to relax, the easier it is for those assassins to succeed."

She sat down beside Feng Yong, and tried to persuade, "Ah Lang's status is not as good as before. He is not only the leader of the Xinghan Society, but also the captain of the Qiang Guard."

"Additionally, Nanxiang and Longyou are very involved. Not to mention how many people have been offended by what Alang has done. Let's just say that with Alang's current status, some things, even if Alang didn't do them, others would It will only be counted on A Lang's head."

"In Liangzhou, there are many heroes. Alang's Northern Expedition, coupled with the leader's patrol in Longyou, there are probably not a few people who harbor hatred for Alang. Alang must not be careless."

"I don't have as many concubines as A Lang in military and state affairs, but for this kind of thing, I am confident that I still have some skills. I will hand it over to my concubine in the future. A Lang can only think about the important affairs of his family and country with peace of mind."

Hearing Guan Ji's words, Feng Yong's heart warmed up, and he held her hand, "I feel the love of the emperor, and I hate the undeveloped Han Dynasty."

When Guan Ji heard this, she only felt that he was mentioning the promise she had made to herself back then.

Thinking of the acquaintances at that time, her eyes watered, she bit her lower lip, and her voice trembled slightly, "You... this person is very annoying! My concubine is talking to you about business!"

"What business is it? Family and country affairs are important, state affairs are important, and family affairs are also important..."

Feng Yong swallowed, only to feel that the beauty under the lamp made his heart beat faster.

"What countermeasures does Ah Lang have for this incident in Longxi?"

Seeing his appearance, Guan Ji knew what he was thinking, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Today is just to understand the situation in advance, how can there be countermeasures so quickly?"

Feng Yongman said, playing with Xijun's palm, he only felt that the callus on her hand was much thinner than before.

Knowing that in the past few years, she no longer practices martial arts day and night like before, and it also shows that she has let go of a lot of knots in her heart, and she can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

"My concubine sees that Gongsun Zheng's words don't seem to be finished, so why don't Alang find another opportunity to ask again?"

Although Guan Ji didn't speak much today, she observed carefully.

Feng Yong nodded, "I also think that Gongsun Zheng is a little strange. It seems that he is more anxious about Longxi than we are."

When Guan Ji heard this, she immediately became vigilant, "Speaking of which, is that Gongsun Zheng a newcomer? Is there any problem?"

Feng Yong didn't think about that, but once Guan Ji mentioned it, and then looked at her serious expression, he felt a little confused.

But he thought about it, and asked again, "What do you think of Gongsun Zheng's martial arts?"

"It should be someone who can fencing, that is, better than ordinary scholars."

Hearing Guan Ji's tone, it seems that she didn't catch her eyes, Feng Yong finally felt relieved.

In this era, scholars all know swordsmanship.

After all, you have to reason with people, but what should you do if you can’t? Naturally, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

But no matter how powerful a scholar's swordsmanship is, can it be better than his own wife's martial arts?

"Then it's okay. Tomorrow I'll ask someone to ask him for questioning. At that time, Mr. Xi will be closer to me. I think it will be fine."

Guan Ji nodded, this happened to be an opportunity to test her.

"The concubine knows, even if this person is close to A Lang and has a concubine by his side, even if he does something wrong, he will definitely not succeed."

"Well, it's really great to have Mr. Xi by your side."

Feng Yong said in a low voice.

For some reason, Guan Ji felt her heart tremble when she heard A Lang's voice become low.

"Ah Lang, I have one more thing to do."

"It's getting late, it's time to rest, what can't we talk about later?"

"No! The two poems that Alang read just now fascinated people, but they don't know what the full text is?"

"forget."

"forget?"

When Guan Ji heard this, she immediately became angry.

This person is always like this, read half of it and keep the other half.

Guan Ji was about to teach him some lessons, only to hear him say again, "But I remembered another poem."

"What?"

"The jade man blows the flute and the flowers move his face, and the young man dances the sword and the moon catches his eyes. Xijun, what do you think of this poem?"

As soon as Guan Ji heard it, her heart softened, her expression filled with longing, "This poem sounds like a painting."

Then he laughed again, "Ah Lang has a thick skin! Not to mention whether the concubine can play the flute, but I don't know when Alang learned which sword technique?"

Feng Tubie imitated the domineering president, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Tch, you laugh so disgustingly!"

Guan Ji patted Feng Yong and said in disgust.

Nothing to say all night.

When Feng Yong got up on time the next day according to his biological clock, Guan Ji was still sleeping.

These days, Guan Ji feels more and more lethargic.

After exercising and eating breakfast, before Feng Yong sent someone to look for Gongsun Zheng, Gongsun Zheng came here on his own initiative.

Hearing that the guards reported that Gongsun Zheng was coming to visit, Feng Yong and Guan Ji looked at each other knowingly.

He was invited to come in. Both parties had met the ceremony. After Gongsun Zheng sat down, he explained, "Your Majesty, there has been a change in the Longxi Qianghu, and it has already entered winter."

"The prefect not only needs to guard against the barbarians, but also patrols the city to appease the people, lest the people suffer from the cold and have complicated affairs and cannot come."

"The lower officials are quite familiar with the affairs of Longxi, so the prefect asked the lower officials to come and obey the order of the lord."

Longxi is a newly settled place, people's hearts are initially determined, and coupled with the current situation in Longxi, Chen Shi must always be cautious, not negligent on purpose.

Feng Yongzi is not the kind of unreasonable person. "Chen Taishou has a lot of affairs, so he should be busy. It is enough to have Gongsun Jianjun who is familiar with the situation in Longxi."

As he spoke, he looked at Gongsun Zheng who was sitting below, "Yesterday I heard what Gongsun Canjun said about the Qianghu situation in Liangzhou, and the Cao thief was by my side. ?”

When Gongsun Zheng heard Feng Yong's intentional question, he was refreshed, and said quickly, "Your official is indebted to you for your inquiry, how dare you not say everything?"

As he spoke, he thrust his hands into his wide sleeves.

Guan Ji moved slightly.

But Gongsun Zheng took out a piece of tissue paper from inside, got up and handed it to Feng Yong, "Your Majesty, this is the topographic map of Longxi, where the mountains, rivers, roads and paths are all drawn."

Feng Yong took it over and opened it to take a look, but he saw that although the proportions of the figure drawn on it were a bit out of balance, it was much more detailed than a map.

In the corners, specific symbols are also deliberately used to indicate mountains, rivers, roads, etc.

Not only the real distance between the two places is marked, but the height of the mountains, rivers and hills is also marked.

This is already a certain map concept.

Feng Yong raised his head in surprise, "You drew this?"

Gongsun Zheng had a humble expression on his face, "The ancestral home of the lower officials is Didao in Longxi. Because of the Qiang rebellion, he followed the adults to Hanzhong to seek refuge, and was later moved back to Longxi by the Cao bandits."

"When Xiaguan was young, he saw the Qianghu plundering and mutilating the Han people. When he grew up, the Qianghu forced his whole family to flee. At that time, some blood relatives were separated and died of illness during the escape."

When Gongsun Zheng said this, resentment appeared on his face, "I think back then, the Hu people were no more than the servants of the Han family, but now, taking advantage of the decline of the Han family, they bite back like a wolf."

"After Xiaguan returned to Longxi from Hanzhong, he saw that although Di Dao was still there, the ancestral land had become a place where the barbarians ravaged, so he made a wish to expel the barbarians."

"Over the years, my subordinates have not only returned to Didao several times, but also set foot in Fanghan, Heguan, Baishi and other places, just to understand the situation of the Qiang and Hu there, hoping that one day they will be able to fully restore the old places of the Han family."

Feng Yong raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly, this is the Han Dynasty version of angry youth.

No, they shouldn't be called cynics, but Han activists, and they have put into action for them.

Of course, there is also a reason why he and his family suffered from Qianghu, but this is a typical Han thinking-like happiness and hatred.

Revenge if you have a grudge, retaliate if you have a grudge, and don't have a BB with you.

Feng Yong sighed, "There are more heroes in Liangzhou."

Thinking of the surname Gongsun, Feng Yong couldn't help but think of Gongsun Zan who regarded barbarians as experience treasures, so he asked a little curiously, "Your evil barbarian is somewhat similar to the white horse general Gongsun Zan back then."

"You two have the same surname again, I don't know but what is the connection?"

Gongsun Zheng shook his head, "Back to Junhou, the lower officials have nothing to do with that Gongsun Zan."

As he said that, his face showed pride, "The surname of Gongsun, the next official, is passed down from the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was born in Jishui (Wugong County, Guanzhong). He used Gongsun as his surname, and later changed his surname to Ji."

"Most of the descendants of later generations took the surname of Ji, but a few were surnamed Gongsun. The ancestor of Xiaguan was one of them. The later ancestors traveled northward along the Wei River from Guanzhong, and finally settled in Didao."

Speaking of this, his face showed a fortitude, "The ancestors of Sijue, with their hands and feet, exposed their bodies in the frost and dew, and cut thorns in the wilderness, so they have the size to settle down."

"Accumulating more than ten generations, the family of Di Dao Gongsun has just been multiplied. Although Zheng is unworthy, he dare not abandon the land of the ancestors, otherwise what face will he have to see the ancestors in the ground?"

From this tone, the Gongsun family's status in Didao is not low?

But thinking about it, how could he join the army in Longxi without a certain amount of fame?

But what surprised Feng Yong was what he said.

Feng Yong's complexion tightened, and he said solemnly, "I look at the world's aristocratic families, who are extravagant and dissipated, the national economy and the people's livelihood, and don't care about it, but I have long forgotten the hardships of my ancestors leading the people to open up."

"I didn't expect to see the real style of the ancient family here. Please be respected by Feng."

With that said, he got up and bowed deeply to Gongsun Zheng.

Gongsun Zheng was taken aback, got up hurriedly, and bowed to each other, "I didn't expect to hear these words that make a certain person feel deeply in my heart!"

Standing straight behind him, Gongsun Zheng's face glowed red with excitement, and at the same time his breath was a little heavy, and his eyes looking at Feng Yong were extremely hot.

"Nanxiang Ranger, although he has never met the lord, he is willing to be driven by the lord. Today, I finally know why!"

Feng Yong didn't see the flaw in this statement, but Guan Ji's eyes fell on Gongsun Zheng, thinking: This Gongsun Zheng actually knows about Nanxiang? It seems that he must have been paying attention to Alang for a long time!

"Sit, sit!" After talking for a while, the two felt a lot closer. After reporting each other's name, Feng Yong pulled Gongsun Zheng to sit down.

"I also have the intention to cure the Qiang chaos in Longxi, but I can't find the right way. I don't know what Bo Yan can teach me?"

"Back to the prince, there are three strategies for the levy, which can be decided by the prince."

When Gongsun Zheng learned that Feng Yong wanted to return to Longxi, he immediately replied without any concealment.

"Okay! Please come quickly, Bo Yan."

Feng Yong was overjoyed.

"As a plan, the lord can give the officials some woolen cloth, and the officials will go to Shouyang in person, find an opportunity, talk to the Qianghu Qu commander, and persuade them to retreat. Now the Qianghu soldiers are surrounding Didao to spend the winter."

"That Qiang Huzhi is in Didao, not Shouyang. If they get woolen cloth, which is a high-grade cold-proof thing, they will retreat from Shouyang."

"No!" Feng Yong refused, "The matter of bribing Hu will damage the prestige of the Han family, so it must not be done."

When Gongsun Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Since you don't want to do this, let's start fighting. The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtue, and the soldiers led by the prince are rare and elite."

"If we can find an opportunity to set up an ambush to gather and destroy the invading Qianghu, it will definitely serve as a deterrent so that the Qianghu will not dare to easily invade Shouyang."

Feng Yong thought for a while, "This is an expedient measure. It can only be said to temporarily prevent the Qiang Hu from attacking Shouyang. However, what I want in the end is to pacify Longxi, so what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, the Li family in Longxi is the prefect of the county. Although they have also suffered from the Qiang and Hu ravages over the years, the Li family has a deep foundation and still has a reputation in Longxi."

"And now Cao Bandit has been defeated by the Prime Minister, so he can only defend Hexi by himself, unable to take care of Di Dao. If the Lord and Marquis can get the help of the Li family to pacify Longxi, it will be a piece of cake."

This is the second time Feng Yong has heard people mention the Li family in Longxi.

The first time was Li Mu.

"Does Boyan have a connection with the Li family in Longxi?"

Feng Yong asked.

Gongsun Zheng nodded, "Di Dao respects the Li family, but the ancestral home of the subordinate officials is also in Di Dao, and the Gongsun family and the Li family were once married."

"The Li family has also suffered from the Qiang and Hu for a long time. If the emperor can put down the Qiang and Hu rebellion in Longxi, the Li family will definitely support it."
