After inspecting the necessary work progress, Feng Duhu decided to end his northern tour ahead of schedule.
On the surface, it seems that due to the appearance of Tuoba Xianbei, the original plan to adjust the direction of Youzhou has unexpected factors.
Therefore, Feng Duhu needs to return to Chang'an and renegotiate with his wife on how to deploy the Youzhou border fortress plan.
It was a waste of time for Liu Hun, Tufa Tianli and others to wait in Pingcheng for half a month before returning from beyond the Great Wall.
But in fact, as the eldest disciple, Zhang Yuan knew that the mountain chief was rushing back this time, and more importantly, he was affected by the incident in Hedong.
After so many years of fighting with Shan Chang, Zhang Yuan is naturally familiar with things before the battle.
So he knew that it would take time from mobilizing troops to starting a war.
If the Governor of Wei really wanted to take action against Gaodu, then Hedong would mobilize his troops in late autumn, and the actual battle would not begin until winter.
Although Zhang Yuan thinks this possibility is low.
But he also knew that matters in the DPRK were far more complicated than arranging troops in front of the battlefield.
And in this world, there is a possibility called just in case.
The mountain chief has a heavy responsibility. If there is a slight mistake, I don't know how many people will be implicated. It is also necessary to be cautious.
Before leaving, Feng Duhu summoned Xianbei captain Wang Ping and chief historian Zhang Yuan to protect him, and personally gave instructions:
"Although the Yanmen barbarians are no longer harmful and are separated from the Wei territory by dangerous mountains, establishing a foothold here can reduce the sources of war horses for the Wei thieves in Youzhou."
"It seems that it has no effect on hurting the enemy, but in fact it has the effect of weakening the enemy. This requires appeasing the enemy to gain benefits, and it also needs to scare the thieves so that the troops can be refined."
"Not to mention the factories, mines and other places where most of the people are barbarians, so we need to be on guard to avoid changes in our elbows and armpits. Therefore, we must not relax in matters in the army."
"You and the other two are the people I trust the most. We must cooperate sincerely. If there is anything, please discuss it more."
"If the matter cannot be settled, no matter how big or small, send someone to Chang'an to inquire about it. Don't just think it is a trivial matter and just make a fuss."
If Zhao Guang and Feng Yong were close friends, then Wang Ping and his son, to put it mildly, shared weal and woe with Feng Duhu.
To put it bluntly, he was Feng Duhu's party member - at least in the eyes of others.
Because from the moment they met Feng Yong, every step in the promotion of Wang Ping and his son could be said to have been promoted by Feng Duhu.
Feng Duhu was in a powerful position, while Wang Ping and his son were able to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
Feng Duhu's reputation was ruined, and Wang Ping and his son were bound to be liquidated.
Wang Ping was always a cautious person, but when he saw Feng Duhu giving such solemn instructions, his heart trembled, and he quickly stood up to express his position:
"The final general will definitely keep the words of the Central Protector in mind."
Zhang Yuan also stood up, as if he was listening to the teacher's lecture in school:
"The teacher's teachings must not be forgotten by the students."
After emphasizing the importance of Yanmen to the two of them, Feng Duhu did not stay any longer and began to go south, passing Yanmen Pass and heading towards Taiyuan.
Although he wanted to rush back to Chang'an, Taiyuan was governed by Bingzhou, and Deng Zhi served as the governor of Bingzhou as a right-back general.
In addition, the current governor of Bingzhou is Zhuge Qiao.
No matter how anxious Feng Duhu was, he still wanted to stay in Taiyuan and meet Deng Zhi and Zhuge Qiao.
Deng Zhi was an old man when he was the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. He always admired the pragmatism and simplicity advocated by the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
Not to mention Zhuge Qiao.
In addition, Bingzhou is not a wealthy place now, so for the two bosses at the top of the Governor's Office, the Central Protector is no stranger.
So the governor's office simply held a cleansing banquet for Feng Duhu.
The main officials of the governor's office came to the scene and drank two glasses of wine, then they all took the initiative to resign.
When only Deng Zhi and Zhuge Qiao were left in the end, they had the leftovers removed and some food and wine put on the table. This was the real banquet for the three of them.
The three of them were all members of the same family, so Deng Zhi stopped saying any polite words and asked directly:
"I just heard a few days ago that my wise nephew has arrived in Yanmen to inspect the North. Why do you have to rush back to Chang'an so soon?"
The Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese and Foreign Military Affairs, inspected the Northland, which was not just a casual tour of the border areas at public expense.
Instead, we need to inspect the border fortresses, inspect the border troops, understand the situation of the Hu people in the border fortresses, and at the same time solve the problems existing in the border areas.
In addition, Feng Duhu also had the power to regulate the civil affairs of the border areas.
Not to mention that Yanmen has been taking action against the thieves in Youzhou.
Feng Duhu only stayed in Yanmen for less than ten days and then hurried south. This is not normal.
"When Yong came out, my wife had been pregnant for more than two months. I rushed back this time because I missed my wife. She was like a son and a daughter. Mr. Deng didn't want to make fun of her."
When Deng Zhi and Zhuge Qiao heard this, they quickly expressed their joy:
"It turns out it's a blessing for the family. Congratulations to Feng Jun Mingwen!"
Deng Zhi stroked his beard, curiosity flashing in his eyes:
"There were rumors in the early years that Mr. Feng had a secret recipe in his hand. You already have a daughter and five sons in your house, right? I didn't expect that there will be another one now. Could this rumor be true?"
Feng Duhu smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
What one woman and five sons?
They are obviously one daughter and six sons.
There is another Guan Sheng.
The son of General Guan and his mistress Hua was named Azhi and Guan Sheng.
Take the meaning after the great victory in Guanzhong.
Zhuge Qiao, who has always behaved like a gentleman, seemed to be more relaxed in such private occasions.
He didn't wait for Feng Duhu to answer and said first:
"This matter is true. I know that in the early years, Guan Anguo and Zhang Xingwu, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, both obtained the secret recipe from Mingwen."
Feng Duhu wanted to say that it was a rumor, but Zhuge Qiao said so. Then he remembered that he had indeed given his two brothers-in-law a secret recipe that was not a secret.
In the end I could only pretend to be stupid and laugh.
Hearing this, Deng Zhi pointed at Feng Duhu:
"You are not kind, Mr. Feng!"
"What does Mr. Deng mean by this?"
"Guan Anguo and Zhang Xingwu are indeed the same family as Feng Jun, but Weizhe is Deng Liang, so Deng Zhi's son and Feng Jun can also be considered brothers, right?"
Feng Duhu replied:
"Weizhe and I are naturally brothers."
"Since we are brothers, you should also know that he just has a daughter now, and there are some difficulties in having an heir. You have this secret recipe for having a child, but you don't want to help him?"
What's wrong with my daughter? I don’t even want to come.
Feng Duhu's words could only be whispered in his heart.
If he really wanted to tell it, Deng Zhi might have thought he was showing off.
"This so-called secret recipe for having children is actually available in medical schools. As long as Weizhe goes to ask about it, he will naturally know it."
"It would be best if the couple could go together to check it out..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw something wrong with Deng Zhi's expression.
Thinking about it, since Deng Liang was able to give birth to a daughter, there should be no health problems.
"Of course, I passed on the one from the medical school, which is relatively simple."
"But Weizhe has to meet the medical school requirements first, and then I will give him a more complete one."
"That way, I guess there won't be any problems."
Nowadays, people like to drink, especially Amei who improved the way of brewing and made distilled liquor appear in advance.
Drinking too much will definitely affect fertility.
This issue still needs to be paid attention to.
At worst, I will teach Deng Liang a copy of the Peony Goddess's physical training technique. If nothing else, it will be helpful for the husband and wife's endurance when communicating in the room.
After receiving Feng Duhu's assurance, Deng Zhi beamed.
He was already past the age of hearing, but seeing his only son's blood thinning, he naturally felt anxious.
"Then I'll thank Feng Jun for Quanzi first."
Deng Zhi was considered Feng Duhu's senior, and he actually raised his glass to express his gratitude to Feng Duhu.
"My family, what can you say thank you for?"
"Feng Jun's words are very satisfying to listen to!"
Deng Zhi gave a thumbs up and drank it in one gulp.
Exhaling a breath of alcohol, Deng Zhi looked at Feng Duhu again:
"Feng Jun hurried back to Chang'an this time. In addition to worrying about his wife and children, is he also worried about things in Hedong?"
Feng Duhu was shocked when he heard this and subconsciously glanced at Zhuge Qiao next to him.
Zhuge Qiao also silently looked at Feng Duhu:
"Mingwen, I really don't know much about what happened before the formation, but I was once a forage officer in the army, so I know a little about the difficulties of sending troops in winter."
"You really don't know about Hedong's intention to send troops?"
Logically speaking, as the son of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Qiao should naturally side with the royal family.
But in his opinion, the Han Dynasty occupied one state in the land of Bashu and merged with the three states of Yong. The emperor was able to return the old capital, and his own lord and Mingwen made great contributions.
More importantly, before his death, his master personally named Mingwen as his successor.
It shows that your Excellency believes that after returning to the old capital, Mingwen can fulfill his last wish of reviving the Han Dynasty.
So in this case, he believed in Mingwen, his brother, more than Wei Yan.
"The deployment of troops from Hedong does not necessarily mean sending troops."
Feng Duhu shook his head:
"Besides, when the troops were mobilized in Hedong, I happened to be rushing from Jiuyuan to Yanmen. The official documents sent from Chang'an might have been sent to Jiuyuan. It's normal that I didn't receive them."
Zhuge Qiao is a gentleman, but that doesn't mean he is a fool.
Although Feng Duhu did not answer directly, he even meant to defend Hedong.
But Zhuge Qiao heard that his brother really had no news about the Hedong incident.
He stared at Feng Duhu and continued to ask:
"The Governor of Wei mobilized the troops in Hedong. If it was not to send troops to the rebel territory, it would be to change the original deployment of troops in Hedong."
Zhuge Qiao had a worried look on his face:
"Does Mingwen think Governor Wei's transfer is appropriate?"
Feng Duhu smiled bitterly:
"Brother, you are making things difficult for me. I am just like you, knowing the signs of Hedong mobilizing troops."
"But how to mobilize and what Wei Wenchang's intention is, I don't know. How to evaluate it?"
Shangdang still belongs to Bingzhou in name. If there is any change in Shangdang, the governor's office must be notified.
Therefore, discussing this matter in the governor's office of Bingzhou is not considered crossing the line.
Just hearing what Feng Duhu said, the worry on Zhuge Qiao's face did not go away, but instead added a bit of disappointment.
There was even a little more gloominess in his eyes.
It seems that Adi really doesn't know what happened in Hedong.
How many years ago did you die?
He worked hard and devoted himself to the great cause of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, but unexpectedly such disturbing signs occurred.
well……
Just when Zhuge Qiao was worried, Deng Zhi said with disdain:
"Wei Yan only relied on his seniority in the military to reach a high position."
"If we really talk about the ability to lead an army, how many people in the world can compare with Feng Jun? What ability does he have to change Feng Jun's arrangement in Hedong?"
When Feng Duhu heard this, he glanced at Deng Zhi in surprise.
In this case, does it mean that Deng Zhi got himself involved?
Because he is also Ji Han's veteran.
Whether in the court or the military, not many people dare to compare their qualifications with him.
In addition, Deng Zhi was guarding one side and had an upright temperament, so there were even fewer people who could catch his eye.
Even the veteran Liu Yan, who was nominally number one in the court, was not in his eyes.
But it was indeed rare for him to praise Feng Duhu so much.
It only took Feng Duhu a brief thought before he understood.
Deng Zhi simply couldn't stand Wei Yan.
Of course, it is most likely that the Hedong Governor's Mansion led by Wei Yan took away Shangdang's land - although Shangdang was still in the name of Bingzhou, the right to speak was with the Governor's Mansion.
The Shangdang has achieved merit, but the governor of Bingzhou will not benefit.
Something happened to Shangdang, and the governor of Bingzhou wanted to help wipe the mess.
Enter his mother's!
Why?
So Feng Duhu suspected that Deng Zhi was planning to join forces with him?
"Mr. Deng deserves the award. After all, I'm just a junior, but I can't afford Mr. Deng's boasting."
Although Feng Duhu was very happy, he still had to be modest and humble as usual:
"My arrangements in Hedong were already two years ago. How can things in this world be settled once and for all?"
"Today, Hedong is different from the past, so Governor Wei may have his reasons for adjusting the defense."
When Deng Zhi heard this, he looked at Feng Duhu seriously, as if he wanted to read the meaning of his words from his face.
It's just that Feng Duhu has always been known as a clever talker and a far-sighted ghost king, so naturally it's impossible for people to easily see his true thoughts.
Deng Zhi couldn't see anything unusual, so he finally sighed:
"Forget it, since Feng Jun said so, then this time, Wei Yan will be given an advantage for the time being."
"But this time he tampered with the defenses in Hedong. It's okay if nothing happens in the future, but something will really happen... Haha!"
Deng Zhi sneered, "Let's see how I tell the emperor to hold this person accountable."
Feng Duhu lowered his eyes and said calmly:
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If Chief Wei Wen really makes a mistake and makes a mistake, there is no need for Duke Deng to report it. As the Central Protector, I will personally hold him accountable."
"Oh?" Deng Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he pointed at Feng Duhu and laughed, "Otherwise, Feng Jun is planning something deep..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He immediately paused and said knowingly: "I understand."
Deng Zhi stroked his beard and sighed:
"Although I am old, it seems I can't change my temper."
"Feng Jun is not old, but he is more suitable for court than me."
"But I still have a bit of face by relying on my old age. If Feng Jun needs help in the future, remember to just ask."
"I will always be here. Thank you in advance, Mr. Deng."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and raised their glasses to drink.
The idea of imperial power at this time was far from reaching the level of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Therefore, there is a saying that "the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world."
Emperor Gao made a White Horse Alliance with all the heroes. In fact, it was the chairman who distributed dividends and equity to the senior managers.
Liu occupies the lion's share, but he must also acknowledge the contributions of veteran managers and protect their interests.
Otherwise, when the Lu family was in chaos, why would anyone stand up and protect the Liu family's legacy?
Not to mention that when it comes to Ji Han, the late emperor collapsed in the middle of his career before he started his business.
Today's little fat man has never personally led an army, but Ji Han is able to achieve victory alone.
These are the result of the joint efforts of all ministers and generals.
Who doesn't think that they have their own dividend equity in Jihan Company?
If the palace allows certain people to spoil the current good situation, then don't blame the managers below for making trouble.
Wei Yan is a solitary minister, and solitary ministers can easily be trusted. This is indeed true.
But if something goes wrong, it is also the easiest to be attacked by the group, and thus easily abandoned by the superiors.
Besides, the person facing the Hedong Governor's Mansion was Sima Yi.
Sima Yi fought in Guanzhong and was chased away by the Han Prime Minister and Liangzhou Governor, but this does not mean that he is an incompetent person.
Feng Duhu's eyes were cold, hoping that Wei Yan would be more self-aware.
ps:
Buy a new car!
I had just picked up the car for two days. I saw that the weather was too hot, so I took an opportunity to move the car to a shady area. Who would have expected that someone would scratch me a scratch as long as half a finger.
Tiger Girl blamed me for moving the car and had a big fight with me.
I:? ? ?
If I could have known that something like this would happen, wouldn’t I really have become a time traveler?
Enter his sister's!
It's just an external thing, just a means of transportation, and you actually quarreled with me and scolded me for such a small thing?
Who do you want to show your dead face to at home?
Still slamming the door?
I must save up money to buy a separate car for myself from now on, and never touch the car she wants to use.
Otherwise I will be a dog!
