"Am I talking nonsense?"
Zhuge Liang sneered, "If Ma Su really died of illness in prison, how do you think others would spread the word? Now in Shu, everyone knows about your reputation for being 'eloquent and ruthless'?"
"Now that we are in Longyou, you dare to beat the general in public. How do you want others to think about it? What, you want to put together four sentences? Do you want me to give you the title of domineering general?"
The more Zhuge Liang talked, the angrier he became, and he wanted to throw the bowl out of his hand on the spot.
"When Cao Pi appointed Jia Xu as Taiwei, he was ridiculed by Sun Quan. Why? Is it because Jia Xu has no talent? Or is his merit not high enough?"
"Jia Xu originally had the wisdom of Chen Ping, and he often offered suggestions and advice to Cao's thieves, but he failed to cultivate moral integrity. Therefore, Cao Pi appointed Jia Xu as Taiwei, but Sun Quan laughed at him."
"You have gained such a bad reputation at such a young age. If you make great achievements in the future, if you are entrusted with important responsibilities, the court will be laughed at by thieves, and there may even be private discussions within the Han Dynasty."
"If you don't entrust him, the rewards and punishments of the big man will be unknown, and you will have no sense of injustice in your heart."
Among the younger generation today, the person Zhuge Liang values the most is Feng Yong.
But those who know his reputation know what it is about, but how many people in the world are willing to truly understand the things behind this name?
If these reputations hinder his future in the future, it will be really regrettable and heartbreaking.
The accumulation of feathers sinks the boat, the group breaks the shaft lightly, the people's mouth makes gold, the accumulation destroys the bones.
Now that his position and power are not high, the influence of these reputations on him is not too great, but if he really wants to enter the ranks of important ministers of the country, then these reputations will be his biggest obstacle.
Feng Yong muttered, "I didn't want the title of Ghost King in Nanzhong back then. Prime Minister, why did you publicize it again?"
"Can that be the same?" The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty almost burst out of anger on the spot after hearing this. "The title of Ghost King has a deterrent effect on the barbarians in Nanzhong. But to the ears of the Han people, it was you who established it when pacifying Nanzhong. Proof of great merit.”
"This name is the best among your many names..."
At this point, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt panicked. Why is this kid's name so unpleasant?
Can't you think of a better name yourself?
Even if you can't compare to Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, you should at least have something like the First Roar of the Tiger, right?
Thinking of this, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty became more and more helpless, "Don't you have a famous doctor in your house? You must cure Ma Di's disease, otherwise I will not spare you."
Feng Yong did not dare to take this matter lightly, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yong knows."
Although my reputation... isn't that great, I can't always let myself down, right? Trying to save something without dying, right?
Reputation is something that you can't even see or touch, but it affects you all the time.
Now that I can get the support of Longyou Qiang and Hu, isn't it because of the reputation I have accumulated over the years?
In history, how many loyal ministers and good generals have had their reputations ruined due to word of mouth?
What about Pan Renmei, Taishi Pang, Chen Shimei, etc. In the future, someone really needs to make up the legend of "Feng Langjun, the great traitor of a generation". If Feng Yong knew about it underground, he might be so angry that he would lift his own coffin and be reborn again.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and Feng Langjun seemed to have a clear understanding in some places.
Just when Feng Yonggang remembered his only good reputation among the Qiang and Hu, Zhuge Liang mentioned something.
"I heard that you have good relations with a Xianbei tribe called Tufa tribe?"
"Bald Xianbei?" Feng Yong was startled for a moment, thinking of the tribe from "Legend of the Goddess", and nodded immediately, "I had dealt with them when I went to Ju County to sell woolen cloth."
Speaking of which, the reason why he is famous among the Qiang and Hu people in Longyou is because of his blood alliance with them.
"Just dealt with them?" Zhuge Liang looked a little disappointed when he heard this, "How did I hear that you are quite familiar with them?"
"I can barely call it familiar. After all, I made a covenant with the young patriarch of their clan back then," Feng Yong scratched his head, "I promised that I would trade with them on an equal footing."
"So they are the barbarians who made a blood alliance with you?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he asked with great interest, "What exactly happened at that time? Can you tell me about it?"
"If the Prime Minister wants to ask, Yongzi will not dare to hide it."
Although I don’t know why Old Demon Zhuge is interested in this, to Feng Yong, this is not considered shameful, so he explained it.
"The Bald Xianbei actually split from the Tuoba Xianbei in the northern grasslands. In those years, they have been moving westward, trying to find a place to settle down."
"They just passed Hexi that year, and their young clan chief Baldy Khotan rushed to Ju County with his people, hoping to exchange some woolen cloth for winter with me."
"They didn't understand the rules at that time and almost had a conflict with us. However, it was not easy for the bald Khotan to stand up. Later, in order to win the trust of the Hu people, I made a covenant with him and traded with the Hu people on an equal footing."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's eyes shone brightly, he sat up straight and looked towards Feng Yong, and asked anxiously, "What happened next?"
"Then?" Feng Yong blinked and spread his hands, "I haven't contacted him since. But last year, he sent someone to send some furs to Ju County and asked Erlang to hand them over to me."
"Why did he give you furs?"
Zhuge Liang continued to ask.
"Weren't they looking for a place to settle? So I pointed them in a direction, saying it was the Xiqiang area, where there are lakes and water, and people have been grazing there since ancient times."
"And it's not under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. There are only some Qiang and Hu people living there. With their abilities, they should be able to establish themselves there."
After all, Xianbei was able to defeat the Han army, and its combat effectiveness was considered to be enough for the Hu people to go sideways.
"Later, they followed the map I drew for them and finally arrived at the land of Xiqiang and settled there. I made an agreement with him back then that if his tribe found a place to settle down, he would definitely come and tell me."
The agreement between Feng Yong and Tufa Xianbei was actually just digging a hole at random, just to see if they could learn about the situation in Xianbei in the north through Tufa Xianbei in the future.
After all, Ke Bineng, the current master of Xianbei in the north, although he is not as talented and rough as Tan Shihuai, he can be regarded as a heroic figure anyway, so it is always right to be careful.
"So in order to thank me for showing their tribe the way, and also to abide by the agreement he made with me, that bald-haired Khotan sent people all the way to send some furs."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he stood up suddenly and stared at Feng Yong, "So, you are still kind to them?"
"It's not a favor, is it?" Feng Yong said with some disapproval, "Even if I don't say anything, they will find a place to settle down sooner or later, but it will be later."
"What are you talking about!" The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was dissatisfied with Feng Yong's indifferent attitude. "A kindness is a kindness. Without your guidance, their tribe might not find a place to settle down." Has the family been exterminated?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he was shocked: When did the prime minister become a person who wanted to repay favors?
