Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 687 Persuasion

The master and mistress of the Feng family are discussing about taking concubines.

Without the parties involved, Li Mu's fate was decided.

Feng Yong felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Should I ask Li Mu's opinion face to face?"

Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong with a half-smile, "At the beginning when the sixth house of the Li family asked Li Mu to come to Nanxiang, A Lang once said that there might be a prime minister's intention in this."

"However, in the past few years, Li Mu has been entrusted by Alang to work diligently on various things in Nanxiang, has he ever expressed his intention to leave?"

"Alang, did you remember that when I was in Pingxiang, my concubine mentioned that if Li Mu married, what should I do?"

"Although Ah Lang didn't say it clearly at the time, he really didn't think about this issue in his heart?"

After saying these words, Feng Junhou's face burned slightly, he was obedient and dared not say anything else.

Don't tell me if you see through, Xijun, you will have no friends if you do this.

Feng Guanshi said that what I want to do is to be the mistress of the Feng family, not to be friends with you, so she continued this topic.

"Has Lang ever remembered that he once told my concubine that Li Mu's coming to Nanxiang might have something to do with the prime minister? Actually, my concubine has never forgotten this matter and has always kept it in mind."

Guan Ji showed a reminiscence look on her face, "Although my concubine is dull, I also know that Alang's situation at that time was different from today's."

"Until later, because of A Lang's help, my aunt was able to get rid of the root cause of the disease and conceive the prime minister's child."

"The old concubine quietly asked my aunt about Li Mu after she got married to A Lang, but my aunt did not hide the concubine. Does A Lang know why the Prime Minister would do this?"

When Feng Yong heard that Guan Ji could still remember this old incident, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Why?"

"Because it was rumored that Ah Lang was regretting his marriage, so he was more concerned about the girl who was engaged..."

"Ahem, forget it, Xijun, let's talk about taking Li Mu as a concubine."

Feng Yong interrupted her directly, and said to him from left to right, "Li Mu is the daughter of a family after all, even if she agrees, where is the Li family...?"

"Don't worry, Ah Lang, this concubine has already mentioned this matter to Li Mu when she was in Pingxiang. If the Li family doesn't agree, why did Li Mu come to Longxi in person this time?"

Thinking about when Xijun asked about Li Mu in Pingxiang, it turned out that she had already made a decision at that time.

She really deserves to be the mistress of the Feng family!

As for the matter in the backyard, she said it was up to her to decide. For such a big matter, she was unaware of it from the beginning, and only had the right to accept the final result.

Sack of balls!

Feng Yong suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Then the Li family agreed? Li Mu said that Taigong Li was going to discuss the matter of Pingxiang with the elders of the clan, but Xijun said that if she was the concubine of the Feng family, the Li family would definitely agree to the matter of Pingxiang..."

Isn't this inconsistent?

Guan Ji smiled slightly, and held Feng Yong's hand, "Ah Lang, isn't it good to just take a nap and forget about such insignificant things?"

"Ah?" Looking at the smile on Xijun's face, Feng Yong coughed, "Oh, yes, what did I just say? How did I forget?"

Thinking of Li Mu's serious appearance when he talked about this matter again, Feng Yong felt that his young master seemed to have quietly completed his iron-fisted rule over the Feng family's inner court.

So when you hear your little gentleman telling you to pretend to be confused, then just pretend to be confused.

The ancients said, it is not right, but the later generations said: It is rare to be confused.

Also confused is Didao Chang, who guards Didao.

Obviously he belongs to Wei country, since the second half of this year, since the change of Qianghu, he has sent people to ask for help from Jincheng many times.

Liangzhou did not send a single soldier, but let himself stick to the city.

Unexpectedly, the Shu Han, who was originally a sworn enemy, sent an envoy.

Daochang Di looked at Gongsun Zheng, who was originally joining the army in Longxi, who was sitting opposite him, and then at Taigong Li, the head of the Li family in Longxi, who was sitting in the main seat, feeling a little restless.

No wonder he was restless.

In Di Dao now, Shuhan is on the left, Liangzhou is on the right, there are Qiang Hu outside the city, and the Li family of Longxi, the largest land snake, in the city.

If you are a little careless, then there are no people on the left, right, inside and outside.

He is a little Daoist Didao, and he has tried his best to defend Didao under the siege of Qianghu.

Faced with Wei's traitors, Di Daochang wanted to be tougher, but when he said the words, his tone was weak, and he even lacked confidence.

"Gongsun joins the army, will the big man really help Didao drive away the Qiang Hu?"

"Yan Mingting, the big Han now occupies the land of Longyou, the tiger looks at Guanzhong, and the right looks at Liangzhou. The Wei people have to send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Guanzhong."

"As for Liangzhou, after the battle of Longyou, more than half of the cavalry were lost, and now they only have the power to defend themselves. If it were you, would you take Guanzhong first or Liangzhou first?"

Gongsun Zheng smiled slightly and asked.

Although he didn't want to answer, Daochang Di still said, "Liangzhou first, then Guanzhong."

"That's right! Longyou is high and Guanzhong is low, plus Longshan Mountain is separated. As long as the big Han guards the Longshan Pass, the Wei people can only look up and sigh."

"But Liangzhou is different. Longyou and Liangzhou are originally one body. There is no natural danger between the two. Instead, the big man can go westward with all his strength, and he will divide his troops into two directions to attack from north to south."

"All the way from Nan'an to attack Yuzhong, all the way through Didao to attack Jincheng, so Didao is the place that the big man must take."

"The big man regards Di Dao as something in his palm, how can he allow the barbarians to behave like this?"

"On the other hand, Ming Ting, even if he can reject the Qiang Hu and protect Di Dao this time, there is no war in Liangzhou now, and the Wei people can still ignore Di Dao's difficulties."

"In the future, when the Han soldiers attack Liangzhou in two ways, is it possible that the Ming court still expects the Wei people to send troops to rescue Di Daoye?"

Daochang Di remained silent.

After the First Battle of Longyou, Hao Zhao led the remnants of the army to cross Di Dao, riding like a dog in mourning.

At that time, it was still him who led the people to eat, so that the defeated army could rest.

So he naturally knew what the Liangzhou army was doing now.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the Patriarch of the Li family who was sitting on the main seat, and asked, "Grandpa, what do the Li family want?"

The Patriarch of the Li family lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, instead of answering Daochang Di's words directly, he asked a question instead.

"Ming Ting, I remember, you are in the same family as Yan Zhong, who was held hostage by Liangzhou rebels 40 years ago, right?"

"It's the uncle of a certain family."

Daochang Di didn't understand why the Patriarch of the Li family would ask this question.

The Patriarch of the Li family nodded: "More than forty years ago, the Qiang Hu was a disaster in the village, and the momentum was huge. At that time, Li Shen, the prefect of Longxi, happened to be our Li family."

"Li Shen got the order of the imperial court, recruited elites and gave them more rewards, and stood firm. Until Han Sui surrounded Longxi with more than 100,000 troops, Li Shen asked the imperial court for help."

"I didn't know that Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, first appointed treacherous people as officials, and extorted violently, which chilled the hearts of Liangzhou officials. Then, regardless of the danger in Longxi, he was surrounded by Han Sui's soldiers."

"Li Shen had no choice but to rely on Han Sui to protect the people of Longxi. Later, Geng Bi was greedy for merit and led the troops to Didao himself. Instead, he was mutinied and died in the rebellion."

Li Shen, the prefect of Longxi from the Li family, was attached to the rebels. This is not something to boast about, and it is even a stain on the Li family.

If it is said that the people who are attached to the rebels are other members of the family who have not become officials, that's okay.

After all, separate betting is the basic operation of the family.

But Li Shen is different, he is the prefect of Longxi, how many prefects are there in the whole world?

Shepherd and guard one side for the imperial court, but don't have any moral integrity, and eat the king's salary and attach to the thief, which is despised by a gentleman.

So Daochang Di didn't know why the Patriarch of the Li family would take the initiative to bring up this old event in public.

"In contrast, Ming Ting's clan uncle had a lot of backbone. He was held hostage by Han Sui, but he refused to help the tyrant to abuse him, and finally died angrily."

Having said this, the Li family finally looked directly at Daochang Di.

"Forty-five years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the world, the prefectures and counties fell, and the officials fled. The whole world responded, and the capital was shaken."

"However, in the end, it was wiped out by Huangfu's hussars who were born in Liangzhou..."

When Di Daochang heard the last sentence, his expression changed on the spot.

"Huangfu Hushi pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and his power shook the world. However, at that time, the government was changing and the country was empty. Yan Zhong, who was also from Liangzhou, once persuaded him to act according to the time and act on the occasion."

Di Daochang blushed, and stopped the head of the Li family: "Mr. Li, be careful!"

The Patriarch of the Li family shook his head lightly, and smiled calmly: "The Li family doesn't shy away from the matter of Li Shen, why should the Ming Court cover up the matter of Yan Zhong?"

"Yan Zhong persuaded Huangfu Huqi to disobey his minister, but a few years later, Han Sui supported him as the general of the thirty-six rebels, named Cheqi General, why would he rather die than obey? Ming court can know why?"

Di Daochang took a deep breath.

"Han Sui is just a villain who obeys the orders of the Hulu. He is willing to be with the Hulu, that's his business. My Yan family is a prominent family in Liangzhou. How can I follow the Hulu's hair and wear the left lapel?"

"That's right!" The Patriarch of the Li family sighed, "In order to protect Didao and Li's family, Li Shen had to give up his life to serve the thieves. Not only him, but even the women in the Li family also served the thieves with their bodies."

"Li Shen is willing to destroy his reputation, and the Li family women are willing to serve the thieves with their bodies. What they do is to protect the Didao and Li family members."

The head of the Li family stared at Daochang Di, and said word by word, "Even if Liangzhou was abandoned by the Guandong court, it is still our homeland, not a pasture where barbarians graze horses."

"If the people of Wei can protect Di Dao, my Li family will naturally go to Wei."

"But if he can't, then why should my Li family be loyal to the Wei country? Is it true that the Qiang Hu broke into the city, took my family's wealth, burned my house, slaughtered my family, and humiliated my wife and daughter?"

Gongsun Zheng said: "That's right! Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of our Liangzhou people. Whoever can protect Liangzhou, then we will go to him. Mingting, don't you understand what Uncle Ling did back then?"

Di Daochang was shocked, and it took him a long time to ask, "How do I know that the Han people can protect Liangzhou?"

Gongsun Zheng smiled meaningfully: "Ming Ting, but who did the Han army send to garrison Shouyang to relieve Di Dao's siege?"

"who?"

"Marquis Quanting of Han Street, Feng Yong, Captain of the Qiang Guard."

"Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain god?"

Di Daochang blurted out.

These days, the Han people who are in a high-level civilization are full of ghosts and gods, let alone the barbarians who are regarded by the Han people as barbaric and rude.

Guo Huai was regarded as a god by the Hu people because he inquired about the population and cattle and sheep conditions of each tribe in advance, and was able to tell the tribe's situation to the visiting chiefs.

It is most normal for Feng Yong to be known as a descendant of a mountain god.

From the fact that Di Daochang said Feng Yong's name in Qianghu's mouth, it can be seen that he has indeed carefully understood the situation of the Han army in the east.

"Pfft!" Gongsun Zheng couldn't help laughing, "That's right! It's Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain god that Qiang Hu said!"

"Longyou Qianghu, when they heard Feng Langjun arrived, they all followed him. In the battle at Jieting, Feng Langjun and Zhang He were in a stalemate. It was the Qianghu coalition forces that attacked Zhang He that defeated the Wei army."

"It can be seen from this that Feng Langjun holds a lot of weight in Qianghu's heart. Di Dao's mere siege of Qianghu is nothing in front of Feng Langjun!"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Feng Yong's reputation among the Qiang Hu, coupled with the title of Marquis of Jiequan Ting, is indeed very important.

When Di Daochang heard that Feng Yong personally led the army to relieve Di Dao's siege, his heart finally began to waver.

Seeing his expression, Gongsun Zheng struck while the iron was hot.

"If Ming Ting is willing to abandon the thief and follow the righteousness, not only will he make a great contribution, the big man will have his own reward, and Marquis Feng will also promise something else."

"Feng Hou said that you can give Mingting a batch of woolen materials in private, whether it is woolen cloth, woolen yarn, blankets, or even sweaters, woolen clothes, etc."

"At that time, Ming Ting can use it for itself, or sell it to the barbarians. If Ming Ting has a connection, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and even Guandong, I don't know how many people ask for it but can't get it."

"Cao Thief has now sealed off the customs, only the caravan transporting woolen materials can be unimpeded, and there are people who buy them at high prices in Chang'an."

The wool in Feng Langjun's hands is a hard currency that is harder than five baht in Wei Guo.

Not to mention Liangzhou where it starts to snow in September.

One of the most inferior blankets can be exchanged for three sheep from the Hu tribe in Liangzhou, and double that after passing Dunhuang.

Not only Gongsun Zheng knew this, but also the Patriarch of the Li family and Daoist Di.

At the end of Gongsun Zheng's speech, he emphasized his tone: "If the Yan family is interested, they can also cooperate with Feng Hou, and the quantity of wool can be discussed at that time."

When Di Daochang heard the last sentence, his heart was finally moved.

Jiang, Ren, Yan, and Zhao are the four surnames in Tianshui.

The Jiang family moved the fastest and pushed out Jiang Wei.

It can be said that the Yan family is more than one step behind.

If he can seize this opportunity, he might be a hero of the Yan family.

Among other things, with the power of the Yan family, even if it is difficult to sell to the Kanto, but to sell to Liangzhou, or even the Western Regions, there is no problem at all!

Of course, the batch of wool as a gift is not the point, the point is that that batch of wool is given to myself alone.

The woolen material is warm, making County Mayor Yan warm from the inside to the outside.

"Since that's the case, just wait for Feng Hou to lead the army to Didao, and I will personally open the city gate to welcome the king's teacher."

"Okay! That's the deal!" Gongsun Zheng said loudly, "A gentleman."

"Four horses are hard to chase!" Daochang Di responded, and then he turned to the Patriarch of the Li family, "Mr. Li will testify to this matter!"

"no problem!"

The Patriarch of the Li family chuckled.

Gongsun Zheng achieved his goal in this trip, and carefully avoided the Qiang Hu around Didao, and returned to Shouyang without stopping.

When Feng Yong learned that Gongsun Zhengping had returned, he immediately met him.

"Your Majesty, luckily you did not disgrace your life!"

As soon as the cheerful Gongsun Zheng entered the hall, he cupped his hands and said to Feng Yong.

Hearing this, Feng Yong was overjoyed, "I knew Boyan would succeed, sit down and talk to me carefully, how did you convince the Li family and General Di Dao?"

Gongsun Zheng did not take credit for it, "Wei army in Liangzhou is weak and unable to rescue Di Dao, but the Hu people are in a hurry to attack, and coupled with the huge profits promised by the princes, why is it difficult to persuade?"

Immediately, he told about Didao's trip.

Let Feng Yong praise again: "Bo Yan understood reason, moved him with emotion, promised him benefit, quite like Li Sheng."

Gongsun Zheng said modestly: "It's just a trivial achievement, how dare you compare it with Li Sheng?"

"Bo Yan went to Di Dao this time, did he check out the situation of Qiang Hu?"

Feng Yong asked again.

Gongsun Zheng nodded: "Back to the Lord, the situation of Di Dao and Qiang Hu, I am afraid that Zheng will not be able to find out for a while, so I invited someone who is familiar with Di Dao's situation."

"Oh, who is it?"

"This person is the grandson of the Li family in Longxi. His name is Jian and his name is Shu Rui. He is waiting outside at this time. You can let him come in and explain Di Dao's situation in detail."

Gongsun Zheng said.

"Okay." Feng Yong was overjoyed when he heard that the Li family in Longxi had sent their grandson over.

He thought for a while, and then shouted out the door, "Come here, invite Mrs. Mu over."
