"You always have to fight, it's just a fight in the morning and a fight in the evening."
As Feng Yong spoke, he led Zhao Guang to the study room, picked up a roll of paper from the case and handed it over.
Zhao Guang opened it with some confusion:
"Brother, what is this?"
"This time out of the fortress, the route map drawn by Zhang Yuan and others."
It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. It’s really no joke.
After so many years of education, we are finally able to train students who can draw topographic maps independently.
Governor Feng was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Of course, there were no satellites or the optical tools of later generations to measure terrain.
At most, it is a mechanical tool that can be made under current conditions.
In addition, time does not allow this time.
So this circuit diagram is not standard or accurate.
However, there is no shortage of approximate mileage, eye-catching road signs along the way, unified symbols such as water sources and rivers.
As expected by Feng Yong, although the former Han Pass on the grassland was in dilapidated condition, it was not completely destroyed without leaving any trace, and it was more than enough to serve as a road sign.
What was a simple map in the eyes of Governor Feng was an extremely exquisite map in the eyes of Zhao Guang.
"Brother, where is this?"
Zhao Guang put the map on the case, pointed to the break of the road map, and asked.
"I don't know, but according to my estimation, I haven't walked through the desert north of Tonozawa."
Feng Yong shook his head.
Zhao Guang suddenly looked disappointed:
"Have we just walked this far? I thought we had arrived at Gaoque!"
Gaoque is actually a gap in the Yinshan Mountains, the barrier of the Hetao Plain.
It is on the west corner of the "Ji" character of the Yellow River.
Whether it is the northern nomads entering the Hetao Plain, or the Central Plains regime attacking the Hu people from the Hetao, the army basically enters and exits through this gap.
Otherwise, the army would not be able to cross the Yinshan Mountains, which stretches steeply from east to west.
"It's good if you don't get lost in the desert. Do you think everyone is Huo Biaoyao?"
Feng Yong glared at him angrily:
"After spring, you go to the hometown of Jiuyuan again, find Ke Bineng, and ask him to send troops to the west, attack Xianbei in the west, join our army out of the fortress, and try to open up this route next year."
Zhao Guang nodded: "I just listen to my brother."
He and Shi Bao went to Jiuyuan's hometown.
Shi Bao is now going to lead the army out of Juyan County, so naturally it is best for him to go.
"It's just brother, if our army wants to enter the Jiuyuan hometown, they can just leave the fortress directly from Xiaoguan and follow the river. Why do we have to go around in such a big circle?"
Zhao Guang asked with some confusion.
Feng Yong slightly glanced at Zhao Guang in surprise:
"How did you know that I wanted to march from Jiuyuan's hometown?"
Zhao Guang chuckled:
"Brother, do you underestimate me? After all, I have been with you for so many years. If I can't even see this, isn't that embarrassing enough?"
"Yes, there is progress." Feng Yong nodded approvingly, then he turned around and took another map from the bookcase.
After unfolding it, it was the map of Guanzhong.
However, except for Anding County, which was drawn in more detail, the rest, such as Beidi County and Jiuyuan Old Place, etc., only had a rough outline.
Feng Yong clicked on the location of Xiao Guan, and then walked his fingers along Dahe. When he reached the left half of the word "ji" in Dahe, he paused.
He roughly drew a circle and asked:
"Do you know where this is?"
Zhao Guang shook his head.
"Lian County is probably at this location, and Beiyi Mountain (helan Mountain in later generations) is not far to the northwest of it."
Feng Yong stood up straight and exhaled:
"This area to the east of Beiyi Mountain is also on the edge of a large river. It has luxuriant water and grass and fertile land. It is a rare pasture."
This area will be Yinchuan in later generations, a geomantic treasure land protected by Helan Mountain.
Zhao Guang nodded: "Yes, the last time Shi Zhongrong and I passed by there, we found that there were indeed many barbarian tribes gathered there."
"In the past, this place belonged to Beidi County. It was one of the six cities in Beidi County. It was also a border fortress to guard against barbarians."
Feng Yong emphasized his tone, "If the army leaves the fortress from Xiaoguan and goes north along the river to the hometown of Jiuyuan, this is the best place to stay."
"Do you think, based on Sima Yi's actions in Beidi County, that he would miss such an important position?"
With the current national strength of Wei State, it is natural that it does not have the ability or the inclination to restore the entire Beidi County during the Han Dynasty.
But similarly, the two Han Dynasties had already pointed out to future generations where the important defensive locations of Beidi County should be.
Sima Yi only needs to focus on placing eyes and ears in these locations, and he will have enough time to respond in advance.
Zhao Guang suddenly realized:
"So my brother wants to raid Beidi County from Gaoque in the north, and then enter Guanzhong from Beidi County?"
Gaoque is in the far north. No matter how long the Wei thieves stretch their hands, they can't reach beyond Beidi County to the hometown of Jiuyuan.
Therefore, as long as you enter Beidi County from Gaoque, it is impossible for Wei thieves to discover it in advance.
And this road is exactly the road Huo Piaoyao took back then.
It's just that the elder brother goes in the opposite direction.
Feng Yong did not answer Zhao Guang's question, but just smiled meaningfully:
"Now do you know why I must open this route?"
Zhao Guang nodded excitedly.
Then he thought for a moment and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, have you discussed this plan with the Prime Minister?"
Feng Yong glanced at him and said slowly:
"Are you stupid? This is just a preliminary plan that I discussed with, um, your sister. Now that we haven't even opened up the route in the desert, what's the point of telling the prime minister?"
Old Demon Zhuge has written to Liangzhou more than once, asking about the situation of Liangzhou's military reorganization.
Probably after that serious illness, he felt more and more anxious.
If you tell Old Demon Zhuge about this immature plan now, who knows what he will do?
After all, a certain prime minister was even willing to give away women's clothes in order to return the old capital.
Besides, this is just a backup plan for the battle in Guanzhong.
After all, with the unstable factor of Ke Bineng, Governor Feng was cut off in both the battle of Jieting and the battle of Xiaoguan.
This feeling was very unpleasant, and he really didn't want to do it again.
Therefore, Governor Feng would not easily make up his mind to do this before he was sure to fully control Kebineng.
"Oh, that's true."
Zhao Guang scratched his head.
"Okay, logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you this kind of thing now. It's just that this plan requires your participation, so remember not to mention it to others again."
When Zhao Guang heard this, his heart was immediately filled with trust: Brother really still loves me!
"My little brother understands."
After reminding Zhao Guang of the importance of looking for Ke Bineng next year, Feng Yong stood up:
"Okay, let's go and take a look at the front. Everyone should be almost there."
Not everyone is like Governor Feng, who brings his family with him to worship his ancestors during the twelfth lunar month.
In other words, people like him are special cases.
After all, the wives and concubines of the Feng family are quite special.
Take Zhao Guang as an example. He has an old man Zhao and an elder brother above him.
No matter what, it would not be his turn to preside over the worship services.
Feng Yong even doubted whether the young couple didn't even pay respects to each other and just came over to eat.
Well, maybe it was when Huang Wudie paid homage to Huang Zhong from a distance that Zhao Guang remembered that he wanted to pay homage to his ancestors from a distance...
Anyway, on special days, Governor Feng would naturally think of his generals, so he would set up a banquet and invite them over to have a meal or something.
For Feng Jishi, this is a means of getting closer to each other.
But for some people, it is a sign of the importance they receive from Feng Junhou.
For example, for the bald Khotan, this was his first time attending such a banquet, and he seemed embarrassed.
"Don't be nervous, everyone here is our own people."
Compared with the famous Governor Feng in the past, the Governor Feng at the banquet seemed much more amiable and approachable.
He even stepped down from the main seat, personally brought the wine to everyone, and drank with them.
"This time I went out to the fortress. I heard that you did a good job in leading those Hu Qiyi soldiers."
After Feng Jishi finished speaking, Bald-faced Tian immediately drank a drink, "It's all because the barbarians heard about the power of the king and the tiger."
"It's a good thing to bring. I didn't go, so there is no need for this." Feng Yong laughed and patted his shoulder, "I heard that you personally sent a deer here yesterday. It's very thoughtful."
The bald man smiled sheepishly:
"I don't dare to hide it from you. This time when I went out to the fortress, I happened to meet a small tribe that moved from the east. It happens to be related to the Bald Hair Tribe."
"They said they were willing to join the big man, so the villain dared to keep them..."
"You did a great job with this."
Feng Yong nodded approvingly.
Lieutenant generals in the frontline army can respond independently according to specific situations.
Just remember to report it afterwards.
The purpose of going out to deter Xianbei in the west is not to kill everyone and rob them all. This will only intensify conflicts. While deterring, we must also pay attention to comfort and containment.
Practices such as Tufa Kheli can set an example for the large and small tribes in Xianbei in the west and facilitate differentiation.
"That deer was offered by the leader of that small tribe. I heard it was brought from the east. There are more than ten of them in his tribe, and they have always regarded it as a treasure."
"Oh, that's interesting."
Feng Yong smiled.
And then you brought the treasures of your tribe to your dining table?
Governor Feng glanced at the case and was very sure that there must be venison in it.
Bald-haired Tianli seemed to notice Feng Yong's gaze and laughed dryly:
"That tribe is actually... Well, I heard that the Tuoba Tribe lost the fight with the Western Tribe, so many tribesmen dispersed."
"This small tribe was separated from the Tuoba tribe."
Oh, I see.
The bald-haired lord Tuoba Liwei, also known as the bald-haired Pigu, was dissatisfied that his half-mother - let's just call him half-mother - Tuoba Liwei was the son of the goddess of heaven and had usurped his position as clan leader.
So he led his tribe away.
Now that Bald Khotan has received the news that the Tuoba clan was bullied by the Xianbei in the west and the race was separated, he will probably be very happy in his heart.
So the situation has changed, and now it is normal for him to eat the treasures of that small tribe.
However, Governor Feng's attention was not on the deer, which was regarded as a treasure by the small tribe, but on what Tufa Kheli said about the Tuoba tribe being almost wiped out by the Xianbei in the west.
"Tuoba tribe? Is there something wrong with the Tuoba tribe? I remember that the Tuoba clan was bullied by the Xianbei in the west a few years ago. Tuoba Liwei went to join the Wuluhui tribe?"
The bald Tianli didn't know that there was Han Long beside Feng Yong. He couldn't help but feel shocked that Feng Junhou was so familiar with the desert:
It seems that the monarch has great plans for the barbarians in the desert!
"Exactly. But last year, Tuoba Liwei and Dou Bin, the leader of the Wuluhui tribe, joined forces to attack the western race, and they were defeated again."
"Even Dou Bin lost his war horse and was almost captured. Therefore, the Tuoba clan's vitality was severely damaged and the race was separated."
Having said this, the bald Kheli almost couldn't help but grin.
So what if the western races are powerful?
This time, tens of thousands of people were kidnapped by the Han, not to mention cattle, sheep and horses.
If there is a chance in the future, if we continue to the east, we may encounter the Tuoba tribe, and we will let them know how powerful we are!
Seeing that the child in front of him didn't care at all about the annihilation of his own race, and was even gloating about his misfortune.
Governor Feng felt that he no longer needed to appease his emotions, so he coughed:
"This meat is good..."
"This is venison. If you like it, I will send another one over tomorrow."
The bald man said quickly.
Feng Junhou:...
Most men in the grassland are simple and upright.
The next day, Governor Feng was preparing to fulfill his promise and took them out of the city to play sledding.
The bald man immediately sent two deer over again.
"deer deer!"
They both cheered, thinking that they had two more deer to pull the sled.
"Don't get so close, be careful of getting hurt."
Feng Yong quickly grabbed her.
"Don't worry, Lord, this kind of deer is the most docile. I heard that they are specially raised to pull carts."
Bald Tieli quickly explained.
"Huh? Pulling a car?"
Feng Yong's heart moved, and he looked at the two deer that were being led to the backyard restaurant, "Come back, pull them back!"
"You mean, they're used to pull carts?"
"Yes, Youzhou is actually colder than Liangzhou in winter, and there are many mountains and forests, so some people specially hunted this kind of deer to pull carts through the mountains and forests."
"So this kind of deer has the most docile temperament..."
The bald man stood at attention and kept talking.
However, Governor Feng felt his body tremble when he heard it, and then he suddenly asked:
"Where are the people from that small tribe? You said they came from the east. Where in the east are they?"
"North of Youzhou, that is, the Great Xianbei Mountains..."
Um? !
Governor Feng's eyes suddenly widened.
Of course he didn't know about the Xianbei Mountains.
It is probably the name given by the Xianbei people themselves.
But he is very familiar with the Great Xianbei Witch!
Doesn’t the Huangpizi Tomb in the Ghost Blowing Lamp series tell the story of the Greater Khingan Mountains in Northeast China?
Besides, the north of Youzhou happens to be the Northeast region in later generations.
so……
Even if the Da Xianbei Mountains are not within the Greater Khingan Mountains, they are most likely nearby.
Thinking of this, Governor Feng's eyes sparkled, he stepped forward and touched the antlers of the two deer, and he was very happy:
"I wonder why I've never seen these antlers before. That's it. What a good thing. What a good thing..."
The bald man stepped forward and said:
"If the prince likes to eat these antlers, I will go and get all the deer they have on hand."
"What do I want these antlers for? I want these deer!"
"deer?"
"Yes, pull the cart for my daughter!" Governor Feng chuckled, then looked at Bald Kheli and gave an emphatically command:
"That small tribe will be useful to me in the future, so you should treat them well."
"Pull the cart, pull the cart!"
Both of them trotted over, hugged their master's legs, and shouted loudly.
"Okay, pull the cart!" Governor Feng picked her up and then ordered Bald-Fat to stand up, "Didn't you just say that you were going to send all the deer over?"
"Go now and send all the deer in their tribe outside the city. Also, call the person who is the best at reindeer in their tribe."
Bald-faced Kheli didn't know why, but he knew that he seemed to have given the right thing this time.
So he quickly agreed and ran away.
