Chapter 1074 Two birds with one stone

   Entering late May, a heavy rain finally fell in Guanzhong, temporarily driving away the sweltering heat.

  The sky after the rain is blue and transparent, a gentle rainbow floats in the east, and a few white clouds with gold borders float and dissipate in the sky...

  The dust was deposited on the wet ground, and the air was filled with a slightly damp atmosphere.

  The trees in the courtyard are covered with drops of water, like strings of shining silver beads.

  Secretary Zhang was sitting by the window, with his arms crossed, lying on the edge of the window eaves, leisurely looking out of the window after the rain.

   This heavy rain can be said to have relieved her worries for many days.

   It is time to resume production in Guanzhong. If there is another severe drought, it will really make people burnt out.

  Over the years, God's temper has become more and more weird.

   Sometimes there are severe floods, sometimes severe droughts, one year is warm and two years are cold, it is really unpredictable.

  But this year God took good care of Guanzhong, and there was such a heavy rain in time, so Secretary Zhang was in a good mood.

  General Guan stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.

   Feng Junhou, who was sitting behind General Guan, threw the military newspaper on the table with an ugly expression, raised his head and closed his eyes.

  At the same time, he unbuttoned his outer robe, pulled the hem and fanned it a few times, as if the dampness after the rain didn't drive away the slightest heat from his body.

   "Send the Unconquered Battalion in the first place, not the Engineer Battalion."

  Feng Junhou slapped a few times, opened his eyes again, and sighed.

  Shangdang is a closed basin surrounded by mountains.

   Wei Yan did not go directly over the mountains from Hedong County, but deliberately went around to Taiyuan County, intending to go down the river.

   I never thought about it or underestimated the difficulty of entering Shangdang.

   All kinds of professional equipment of the engineering battalion are difficult to transport on the rugged mountain roads of Shangdang.

  Facing the dangerous pass, the equipment of the engineering battalion did not work as expected.

  Stone cannons can smash down city walls, but not mountains.

   Wudangying is not the same.

  If Modao Camp is a heavy infantry battalion, then Wudang Camp is a mid-mountain combat camp.

  Under the environment of Shangdang, the Wudang battalion played a far greater role than the engineering battalion.

  Feng Junhou spoke, but neither General Guan nor Secretary Zhang answered.

  Secretary Zhang was still lying on the window sill and looking out the window with relish.

  Shuangshuang and Ah Chong are happily playing in the stagnant water in the courtyard.

   Ah Chong jumped in with both feet, splashing water everywhere.

   Splashed water on the face of Shuangshuang next to him.

   Shuangshuang saw the opportunity, and also jumped vigorously on another standing water next to him.

   "Bah!"

   Ah Chong's face was also stained with water.

   So he jumped even harder than before...

   Jumping and jumping, the two started fighting again.

   Finally rolled into the muddy water, like a mud monkey.

   Ah Shun stood in the corridor, jumping with both feet from time to time, applauding his elder sister and elder brother non-stop.

   Eyes full of envy and admiration.

  He also wants to go down to tread water to play, if he can roll, that would be even better.

   It’s just that after the fact, Grandma’s whip hurt her body too much. After thinking about it, let’s forget it, just stand on it and watch.

  General Guan turned his back to the window, focused on watching the map, and tilted his head slightly from time to time to compare with the sand table around him.

  Shangdang has not yet recovered, so the terrain sand table has not been drawn yet.

  The Shangdang part of the map on the wall was supplemented with reference to the previous map. Not only is it rough, but its accuracy is even more dubious.

  The two wives did not speak, but Feng Junhou himself was still babbling:

   "Wei Yan is an old man, others don't understand, so he doesn't understand either? It's been a long time, and I don't know how to send someone back to talk about it."

  This military report is still an observation military report sent back by the military staff.

  I thought it would be difficult to recover Shangdang, but the culprits were only a few thousand.

  Wei Yan was sent to the fortress, and the engineering battalion cooperated with the siege, so it would not be a big problem.

  But judging from the current situation, although it can't be said that the gutter capsized, the development of things has indeed deviated from the plan.

  I thought it would be a small or medium-sized battle at most, so most of the staff officers sent over were trainees.

   It's just that in Feng Junhou's opinion, those staff officers have no experience, and the old man Wei who has fought all his life doesn't understand?

   Actually just stood up like this, and didn't explain the situation to the rear.

  Hearing what Feng Junhou said, Zhang Xiaosi finally turned his head and rolled his eyes:

   "You also know that he is an old man who has fought all his life? If he still can't take down a little Shangdang with the strength at hand, where will his face be put?"

   "Now he is the Great General of Zhendong. He has led so many people, and he still has to put down his face to ask you for help. Aren't he afraid that he won't be able to hold his head up in front of you in the future?"

  Feng Junhou snorted.

  Even if Wei Yan can win it in the end, there are differences when he wins it and how much he pays to win it.

  In the eyes of old man Wei, his own face is more important than the lives of soldiers.

  Thinking about it, too, otherwise in history, how could there be such a thing as embarrassment and anger that he succumbed to Yang Yi and led the troops to fight among themselves?

   Secretary Zhang spoke, and General Guan tapped on a certain location on the map, and said:

   "According to the current speed, the time may be delayed for a long time, and maybe it may not be able to win in the end."

  Feng Junhou heard this, stood up quickly, and leaned over: "How do you say?"

   "Here." General Guan bent his fingers and tapped Hanoi with his knuckles, "There is the main force of the Liangzhou army in Hedong, so Jiang Ji may not dare to move for the time being."

   "But if Shangdang delays for too long, he may not always wait foolishly."

  One hundred thousand Wei troops were stationed in the Luoyang area, and fifty thousand were stationed in Hanoi across the river from Luoyang.

   "Sima Yi is not a simple person either. There are a total of 150,000 rebels in Hanoi and Henan."

   "It's not a big problem to transfer 20,000 to 30,000 people from Hanoi to Yecheng. We can't hope that the thieves will watch us eat Shangdang and do nothing."

  Shangdang cannot be defended, not only Feng Junhou thinks so, he believes that Sima Yi will also see this from the perspective of Sima Yi.

  So from the beginning, Wei Guo may not have the confidence to defend.

   But if it drags on for a long time and the Shangdang cannot attack for a long time, then Wei Guo will definitely react.

   It's really going to be a refueling battle. At this juncture, Feng Junhou is really not sure about the energy consumption.

   After all, both Lantian (corresponding to the direction of Wuguan) and Tongguan have to station heavy troops.

   And Bingzhou and Jiuyuan also have to send troops there.

  In addition, Wei Yan and some of his troops were entangled by Shangdang.

  The main force of the Liangzhou army has always stayed in Hedong.

  Brought Hu Qiyi to join the army, and has gone back to Liangzhou with the armored cavalry.

   After all, there is no major war now, and the rebel army staying here will not only cause chaos, but also increase the logistical pressure.

  The Hanzhong army sounds like a lot, but after such a division, there are only two brothers-in-law left to lead the two northern and southern armies as a strategic mobile force, and at the same time take on the task of defending Chang'an.

  Because of this, Feng Junhou was extremely annoyed that Wei Yan could neither take down Shangdang as planned, nor did he explain the situation ahead in time.

   "Pimp!"

  Feng Junhou cursed bitterly.

  General Guan was much calmer, she shook her head:

   "It's useless to say more now. Even if Wudangying is sent to support, I'm afraid it will be too late. I can only believe that Old General Wei can take down Shangdang even if it takes a little longer."

   "Then what should we do? Can we just wait like this?"

   Feng Junhou frowned and looked at the word Huguan on the map, feeling a little helpless.

   "Ah Lang, let's go to Hedong." General Guan said suddenly, "Go to Hedong for inspection."

"Um?"

  Feng Junhou was a little stunned.

  General Guan kept his eyes on the map, and suddenly chuckled:

   "With Alang's reputation, he can support an army of 30,000. If Jiang Ji knew that Alang was in Hedong, he would never dare to mobilize a single soldier to leave Hanoi."

  You must know that the Taihang Mountains and the Weihan Ancient Road, together with the Wuguan Road, are now the last barrier of the Wei State, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.

   Shangdang is lost, and there is Taihang Mountain.

  But if Zhiguan is lost, then Wei Guo will have to fight a decisive battle with the Han on the plain.

   If you win, you can continue to live for a few years.

   If you lose, you will destroy the country.

   Feng Junhou touched his chin when he heard these words:

   "This is also a solution. But what about Sima Yi in Luoyang? Wouldn't he send troops to support him?"

  The name of Ghost King Feng may be able to frighten Jiang Ji, but it certainly cannot frighten Sima Yi.

   "Nine out of ten times, Sima Yi will not send troops to Yecheng."

  Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Xiaosi finally stopped watching the children fight and came over:

   "Judging from the news from the current details, he didn't even go to the funeral when Cao Rui died."

   "It's reasonable to say that the situation was urgent at the time, but it's been so long now, and the whole country of Wei probably knows that we are temporarily unable to go east."

   "As the auxiliary minister, he is still standing still in Luoyang. What does this mean?"

  Feng Junhou turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaosi: "What do you mean?"

   "It shows that Sima Yi and Xu Chang have indeed become inseparable. Luoyang's 100,000 troops are the capital for Sima Yi to settle down. It is absolutely impossible for him to divide his troops to Yecheng easily."

   "Besides, Yecheng is the place where the Wei State was founded, and the thief Cao must not worry about Sima Yi sending troops there."

   "Instead, it's Hanoi." Zhang Xiaosi walked over and clicked on the map, "If Alang really wants to lead the army and wants to enter Hanoi, I'm afraid Sima Yi will desperately rescue him."

  If Yecheng is the birthplace of the Wei State, then Hanoi is the foundation of the Sima family.

   She doesn't understand military affairs, but no one understands politics better than her.

  General Guan next to him listened to Zhang Xiaosi's analysis, thoughtful, and suddenly said:

   "So if Alang really wants to go to Hedong, he can restrain Jiang Ji and Sima Yi at the same time!"

   After saying this, the two girls looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

  Feng Junhou sitting in the middle is like Han Xian... Bah, like Emperor Xiaomin, just sit there with your ears and listen.

  Do what others tell you to do.

  Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and care about everything.

  After settling state affairs, General Guan finally set his sights on the courtyard.

  The dispute between the leading elder sister and the leading elder brother in the Feng family came to an end at this time.

  Old rules, both of them beat Ah Chong in the muddy water.

   Then I looked up and saw my mother standing at the window, smiling, looking at the two of us lovingly.

   She was so frightened that she yelled "Wow", jumped up and ran.

   Ah Chong didn't know what happened yet, and when he got up, he still grumbled, "Don't run away!"

  Ah Shun hid behind the pillar, poked his head out quietly, and pointed his brother in a very loyal way.

   Then Ah Chong turned his head and saw the smile of death...

  Feng Junhou looked at his child with a sad face.

   This pair of sons and daughters were enemies in the previous life, so they were reincarnated together in this life, right?

  On weekdays, as long as Ah Chong is not around, Shuangshuang is a well-behaved and quiet little lady.

  On weekdays, as long as Shuangshuang is not around, Ah Chong is a young gentleman who studies hard.

  But as long as two people are within three feet, there will be a battle.

  Lithium, potassium and sodium have to be in contact with water to react violently!

   Two people can fight in the air!

   Regardless of Ah Chong who was hanged up by General Guan to beat him, Feng Junhou turned around silently.

"grown ups!"

   Ah Shun emerged from behind the pillar where he was hiding, ran over with his short legs, arms outstretched.

"well!"

  Feng Junhou responded, and picked up Ah Shun, confused, it is better to have a second child, be obedient and not cause trouble.

  He came to the other courtyard with Ah Shun in his arms, and Li Mu came out to welcome him.

   "Meet Aunt Mu."

   Ah Shun slid down from under the lord and saluted.

   "Erlang doesn't need to be too polite."

   Li Mu replied with a smile, touched Ah Shun's head, and then asked:

   "Shuangshuang and Ah Chong got into trouble again?"

"how do you know?"

   "Achong's cries were almost heard in the whole mansion."

   Out of the corner of his eye, Feng Yong seemed to see a little man hiding behind the rockery in Li Mu's small courtyard.

   Forget it, as if you didn’t see anything.

   "Can you not cry loudly? I was beaten badly, my skin was ripped apart, and my **** was blooming. I couldn't bear to look at it, so I came here with Ah Shun in my arms to have a quiet time."

  The little man behind the rockery seemed to tremble.

   "What about Shuang Shuang?"

   "Shuangshuang can't see anyone, so she probably ran away. But where can she go? Children, how can there be a time when you don't make mistakes?"

   "As long as he admits his mistakes, he is still a good boy. Ah Chong insisted on being stunned and insisted that both of them made the first move. He was not wrong, so he was beaten badly."

  Feng Junhou and Li Mu were talking while walking towards the house.

  When their figures disappeared into the room, they stood there both covered in mud, wringing their hands, their small faces full of hesitation and embarrassment.

  Acknowledge your mistake to your mother?

   "I'm going to Hedong for inspection in two days, you should also prepare and follow."

  Li Mu was stunned: "The concubine also wants to follow?"

   "Yes." Feng Yong nodded, "Because this trip will not only go to Hedong. After solving the issue of Hedong, we will also go to Yanmen and Jiuyuan."

   "In the future, Xinghanhui will not only open a mine there, but also open a workshop. You should go there first and familiarize yourself with it in advance, so you can be prepared."

   Li Mu has always been responsive to Feng Junhou's arrangements.

  Just this time, he hesitated:

   "But the child..."

  The three youngest children in the family are only two years old and have just been weaned.

   "Si Niang and Ah Mei will not go, but stay at the mansion. There are medical workers and nurses in the mansion, so don't worry. Shuangshuang and Ah Chong also came here in the same way."

  One wife and one concubine go out with oneself, one wife and one concubine stay in the mansion.

   Fair and reasonable.

  When Li Mu heard what Feng Junhou said, he could only nod in agreement.

   "Where's the child?"

   "Fall asleep in it."

   Li Mu gestured to the inner room.

  Feng Junhou walked over lightly, and saw Ah Shun lying quietly on the side of the couch, staring at his brother with relish.

   "Erlang will take good care of your brother in the future, don't let him be bullied."

  Feng Junhou sat by the couch, looking at his sleeping son, his heart was peaceful.

   This is his own flesh and blood, connected with his own blood.

   Ah Shun nodded repeatedly after listening to the adults.

   Li Mu next to him saw this scene with a smile on his face.

  Then Ah Shun suddenly raised his head and asked:

   "My lord, what if sister and brother bully brother? I can't beat them."
