Chapter 678 Gongsun Zheng

   During the Qiang chaos in Liangzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Feng Yong knew some things, but Feng Yong didn't know many things.

  Gongsun Zheng elaborated on the recent large-scale Qiang rebellion, and only then did Feng Yong have a rough overall impression of Liangzhou Qianghu.

   "The Qiang Hu who besieged Didao this time, someone held up the slogan of King Ping Han..."

"What did you say?"

  Feng Yong's face sank when he heard this.

  Ping Han? Ping who's Han?

  Needless to mention Han Suimateng, one of the three major warlords in Liangzhou, Song Jian ruled the west of Longxi for 30 years, and even took the title of King Ping Han, which makes people uncomfortable.

   I didn't expect that someone would dare to propose this name now?

  It seems that when Xia Houyuan slaughtered Song Jian, the small court of King Ping Han, he didn't frighten them, and dared to use this unlucky name.

   "Your Majesty, although the Cao bandits killed Song Jian back then, they actually gave up the Heguan and Yuhan areas in the end. Therefore, the Qiang Di revived and occupied the old land of Song Jian."

   Seeing Feng Yong's face, Gongsun Zheng lifted his spirits, and quickly said, "Over the years, the Qiang Hu has become more and more rampant. It is really treasonous to dare to mention the name of Pinghan Kingdom again."

   "Back then Cao thief could destroy him, so could a big man." Feng Yong said coldly with a gloomy face.

  The boss fights with the second child, and there is a third child next to him who is about to stab a knife.

   But anyway, it is a family matter, and outsiders getting involved is courting death.

   Chen Shi was calmer, and when he heard Feng Yongyou's intention of sending troops to Di Dao and even Yuan Han, he quickly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, the Qiang and Hu are rebelling, and the Cao bandits are watching, so you should be careful."

  Feng Yong nodded, "Don't worry, Prefect Chen, I have my own ideas."

   Raiding Longxi and controlling the passage leading to Liangzhou is Mr. Zhao's plan, and Feng Yong will naturally not say it on this occasion.

   "By the way, Prefect Chen, how many troops are there in Shouyang?" Feng Yong asked again.

   "Hui Junhou, there are three hundred people." Chen Shi quickly replied.

  Longxi's troops are mainly concentrated in Xiangwu, and 300 troops are deployed in Shouyang, not many, but enough.

  If the Cao thief really invaded Di Dao, Shouyang is not a place that must be defended.

  An ordinary thief would not dare to touch a city guarded by three hundred soldiers.

  If the Qiang Hu invades, as long as they defend for two days, it is enough for Xiangwu to send troops to support it.

   After asking some questions about the situation in Longxi, the crowd dispersed.

  Chen Shi personally arranged the residence.

  Before going to sleep, seeing Guan Ji push the door in, Feng Yong asked, "Is everything arranged?"

  Guan Ji nodded, "As usual, the personal guards will be in the first lane, and the maids will be in the second lane. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

  Feng Yong laughed and said, "Why am I worried? On the contrary, I think Xijun is a little too nervous. This is in Xiangwu City, and it is not a dangerous place."

  Guan Ji frowned slightly after hearing what Feng Yong said.

   In this regard, she has always been a little worried about A Lang's attitude.

   Immediately, he glared at Feng Yong, "It's because A Lang thinks so, so I have to be more careful. The easier it is to relax, the easier it is for those assassins to succeed."

  She sat down beside Feng Yong, and tried to persuade, "A Lang's status is not as good as before. He is not only the leader of the Xinghan Society, but also the captain of the Qiang Guard."

"Additionally, Nanxiang and Longyou are very involved. Not to mention how many people have been offended by what Alang has done. Let's just say that with Alang's current status, some things, even if Alang did not do them, others will It will only be counted on A Lang's head."

   "The land of Liangzhou is full of heroes. Alang's Northern Expedition, coupled with the leader's inspection of Longyou, there are probably not a few people who hate Alang. Alang must not be careless."

   "There are not as many concubines as A Lang in military and state affairs, but in this kind of thing, the concubine is confident that he still has some skills, and I will hand it over to the concubine in the future. A Lang can only think about the important affairs of his family and country with peace of mind."

  Feng Yong heard Guan Ji's words, his heart warmed up, and he held her hand, "I feel the love of the emperor, and I hate the undeveloped Han Dynasty."

  When Guan Ji heard this, she only felt that he was mentioning the promise she had made to herself back then.

  Recalling the acquaintance at that time, her eyes watered, she bit her lower lip, and her voice trembled slightly, "You... this person is very annoying! I'm talking to you about business!"

   "What's the business? Family and country affairs, state affairs are big, family affairs are also big..."

  Feng Yong swallowed, only to feel that the beauty under the lamp made his heart beat faster.

   "What countermeasures does Alang have for this incident in Longxi?"

  Guan Ji knew what he was thinking by looking at his appearance, so she quickly changed the subject.

   "Today is just to understand the situation in advance, how can there be countermeasures so quickly?"

   Feng Yongman said, playing with Xijun's palm, he only felt that the calluses on her hand were much thinner than before.

   Knowing that in the past few years, she no longer practices martial arts day and night like before, and it also shows that she has let go of a lot of knots in her heart, and she can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

   "The concubine sees that Gongsun Zheng's words don't seem to be finished, so why don't Alang find another opportunity to ask again?"

   Although Guan Ji didn't talk much today, she observed carefully.

  Feng Yong nodded, "I also think that Gongsun Zheng is a little strange. It seems that he is more anxious about Longxi than we are."

  Guan Ji became vigilant when she heard this, "Speaking of which, is that Gongsun Zheng a newcomer? Will there be any problems?"

  Feng Yong didn't think about that, but once Guan Ji mentioned it, and then looked at her serious expression, he felt a little confused.

  But he thought about it, and asked again, "What do you think of Gongsun Zheng's martial arts?"

   "Should be someone who can fencing, that is, better than ordinary scholars."

   Hearing Guan Ji's tone, it seemed that she didn't catch her eyes, Feng Yong finally felt relieved.

  In this era, scholars know how to use swordsmanship.

   After all, you have to reason with people, what if you can’t? Naturally, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

  But no matter how powerful a scholar's swordsmanship is, can it be better than his own wife's martial arts?

   "That's okay. I'll ask someone to ask him tomorrow, and Xijun will be closer to me. I think it will be fine."

  Guan Ji nodded, this happened to be a chance to test her out.

   "The concubine knows, even if this person is close to A Lang, with a concubine by his side, even if he does something wrong, he will definitely not succeed."

   "Well, it's really great to have Mr. Xi by your side."

  Feng Yong said in a low voice.

  Guan Ji didn't know why, but when she heard A Lang's voice getting lower, her heart trembled.

   "Ah Lang, I have one more thing to do."

   "It's getting late, and it's time to rest. Is there anything we can't talk about later?"

   "No! The two poems A Lang read just now fascinated people, but they don't know what the full text is?"

"forget."

"forget?"

  When Guan Ji heard this, she immediately became angry.

  This person is always like this, read half and leave half.

  Guan Ji was about to teach him some lessons, only to hear him say again, "But I remembered another poem."

"What?"

   "The jade man blows the flute and the flowers move his face, and the young man dances the sword and the moon is charming. Xijun, what do you think of this poem?"

  When Guan Ji heard it, her heart softened, her expression filled with longing, "This poem sounds like a painting."

   Then he laughed again, "Ah Lang has a thick skin! Not to mention whether the concubine can play the flute, but I don't know when Alang learned which sword technique?"

  Feng Tubie imitated the domineering president, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

   "Tch, I laugh so disgustingly!"

  Guan Ji patted Feng Yong and said in disgust.

   Nothing to say all night.

   When Feng Yong got up on time the next day according to his biological clock, Guan Ji was still sleeping.

   These days, Guan Ji feels more and more lethargic.

  After exercising and eating breakfast, before Feng Yong sent someone to look for Gongsun Zheng, Gongsun Zheng came here on his own initiative.

  Hearing that the guards reported that Gongsun Zheng was coming to visit, Feng Yong and Guan Ji looked at each other knowingly.

  He was invited to come in. Both parties met the ceremony. After Gongsun Zheng sat down, he explained, "Your Majesty, there is a change in the Longxi Qianghu, and it is winter."

   "The prefect must not only guard against the barbarians, but also patrol the city to appease the people, lest the people suffer from the cold and have complicated affairs and cannot come."

   "The lower officials are quite familiar with the affairs of Longxi, so the prefect asked the lower officials to come and listen to the orders of the princes."

  Longxi is a newly established place, people's hearts are initially determined, and coupled with the current situation in Longxi, Chen Shi must always be careful, not deliberately neglecting.

  Feng Yongzi is not the kind of unreasonable person, "Chen Taishou has a lot of affairs, so he should be busy. It is enough to have Gongsun Jianjun who is familiar with the situation in Longxi."

As he spoke, he looked at Gongsun Zheng who was sitting below, "Yesterday I heard what Gongsun Canjun said about the Qianghu situation in Liangzhou, and the Cao thief was by my side. ?”

  Gongsun Zheng was refreshed when he heard Feng Yong's intentional question, and said quickly, "Your official is grateful for your inquiry, how dare you say nothing?"

   As he spoke, he put his hands into his wide sleeves.

  Guan Ji moved slightly.

  Gongsun Zheng took out a piece of tissue paper from inside, got up and handed it to Feng Yong, "Your Majesty, this is the topographic map of Longxi, where the mountains, rivers, roads and paths are all drawn."

  Feng Yong took it and opened it for a look, but he saw that although the proportions of the graph drawn on it were a bit out of balance, it was much more detailed than a map.

   In the corners, specific symbols are also specially used to indicate mountains, rivers, roads, etc.

   Not only the real distance between the two places is marked, but the height of the mountains, rivers and hills is also marked.

   This is considered to have a certain map concept.

  Feng Yong raised his head in surprise, "You drew this?"

  Gongsun Zheng had a humble expression on his face, "The ancestral home of the lower officials is Didao in Longxi. Because of the Qiang rebellion, he followed the adults to Hanzhong to take refuge, and was later moved back to Longxi by the Cao bandits."

   "When Xiaguan was young, he saw Qianghu plundering and mutilating the Han people. When he grew up, Qianghu forced his whole family to flee. At that time, some blood relatives were separated and died of illness during the escape."

  When Gongsun Zheng said this, resentment appeared on his face, "I think back then, the Hu people were no more than the servants of the Han family, but now, taking advantage of the decline of the Han family, they are biting back like a wolf."

   "After returning to Longxi from Hanzhong, Xiaguan saw that although Di Dao was still there, the ancestral land had become a place where the Hu people were ravaging, so he made a voluntary decision to expel the Hu people."

   "Over the years, the officials have not only returned to Didao several times, but also set foot in Fanghan, Heguan, Baishi and other places, just to understand the situation of the Qiang and Hu there, and hope that one day they can fully restore the old homeland of the Han family."

  Feng Yong raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect this to be the Han Dynasty version of angry youth.

  No, they shouldn't be called cynics, but big Han activists, and they have put into action for them.

  Of course, there are also reasons why he and his family suffered from the Qianghu, but this is a typical Han thinking-joyful kindness and hatred.

   If you have a grudge, you will revenge, if you have a grudge, you will have a grudge, and I will not BB with you.

  Feng Yong sighed, "There are more heroes in Liangzhou."

  Recalling the surname Gongsun, Feng Yong couldn't help but think of Gongsun Zan, who regarded barbarians as experience treasures, so he asked curiously, "The barbarian is somewhat similar to the white horse general Gongsun Zan back then."

   "You two have the same surname again. I don't know, but what is the connection?"

  Gongsun Zheng shook his head, "Back to Junhou, the lower officials have nothing to do with that Gongsun Zan."

   As he spoke, his face showed a look of pride, "The surname of the lower official Gongsun is passed down from the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was born in Jishui (Wugong County, Guanzhong). He used Gongsun as his surname, and later changed his surname to Ji."

   "Most of the descendants of later generations took the surname of Ji, but there were also a few of them named Gongsun. The ancestor of Xiaguan was one of them. The ancestors of the descendants traveled from Guanzhong all the way to the north along the Weishui River, and finally settled in Didao."

   Speaking of this, his face showed fortitude, "The ancestors of Sijue, with their hands and feet, exposed their bodies in the frost and dew, and cut thorns in the wilderness, so they have the size to settle down."

   "After more than ten generations, Di Dao Gongsun's family has just been multiplied. Although the conquest is unworthy, he dare not abandon the land of the ancestors lightly. Otherwise, what face will we have to see our ancestors in the ground?"

  Hearing this tone, the status of the Gongsun family in Didao is not low?

  However, thinking about it, I don’t have a certain reputation, how can I join the army in Longxi?

   But what surprised Feng Yong was what he said.

  Feng Yong's face tightened, and he said solemnly, "I look at the world's aristocratic families, arrogance and luxury, the national economy and the people's livelihood, and no worries, but I have long forgotten the hardships of my ancestors leading the people to open up."

   "I didn't expect to see the real style of the ancient family here, please be respected by Feng."

   As he spoke, he got up and bowed deeply to Gongsun Zheng.

  Gongsun Zheng was taken aback, got up in a hurry, and also bowed to each other, "I didn't expect to hear such words that made someone feel deeply in my heart!"

  Standing up straight behind him, Gongsun Zheng's face was glowing red with excitement, and at the same time his breath was a little heavy, and his eyes looking at Feng Yong were extremely hot.

   "Nanxiang ranger, although he has never met the lord, but he is willing to be driven by the lord. Today, I finally know why!"

  Feng Yong didn't hear the flaws in this statement, but Guan Ji's eyes fell on Gongsun Zheng, thinking: This Gongsun Zheng actually knows about Nanxiang? It seems that he must have been paying attention to Alang for a long time!

   "Sit, sit!" After talking for a while, the two felt a lot closer. After reporting each other's names, Feng Yong pulled Gongsun Zheng to sit down.

   "I also have the intention to cure the Qiang chaos in Longxi, but I can't find the right way. I don't know what Bo Yan can teach me?"

   "Back to the princes, there are three strategies for levying, which can be decided by the princes."

   Gongsun Zheng replied quickly when he learned that Feng Yong wanted to return to Longxi, and he had nothing to hide.

   "Okay! Please come quickly, Bo Yan."

  Feng Yong was overjoyed.

   "As a plan, the lord can give the officials some wool cloth, and the officials will go to Shouyang in person, find an opportunity, talk to the Qianghu Qu commander, and persuade them to retreat. Now the Qianghu soldiers are besieging Di Dao to spend the winter."

   "Naqiang Huzhi is in Didao, not Shouyang. If they get woolen cloth, which is a high-quality cold-proof thing, they will retreat from Shouyang."

   "No!" Feng Yong refused, "The matter of bribing Hu will damage the prestige of the Han family, so I definitely can't do it."

  When Gongsun Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Since the lord is unwilling to do so, let's start the fight. The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtue, and the soldiers led by the lord are rare and elite."

   "If you can find an opportunity, set up an ambush, and gather and destroy the invading Qianghu, it will definitely serve as a deterrent, so that Qianghu will not dare to easily invade Shouyang."

  Feng Yong thought for a while, "This is an expedient measure. It can only be said to temporarily prevent the Qiang Hu from attacking Shouyang. However, what I want in the end is to pacify Longxi, so what should I do?"

   "Jun Hou, the Li family in Longxi is the prefect of the county. Although they have also suffered from the Qiang and Hu ravages over the years, the Li family has a deep foundation and still has a reputation in Longxi."

   "And now that Cao thief has been defeated by the prime minister, he can only defend Hexi by himself, unable to take care of Di Dao. If the prince can get the help of the Li family to pacify Longxi, it will be easy."

   This is the second time Feng Yong has heard the mention of the Longxi Li family.

  The first time was Li Mu.

   "Does Boyan have a connection with the Li family in Longxi?"

  Feng Yong asked.

  Gongsun Zheng nodded, "Di Dao respects the Li family, but the ancestral home of the subordinate officials is also in Didao, and the Gongsun family and the Li family had a marriage."

   "The Li family has also suffered from the Qiang and Hu for a long time. If the monarch can put down the Qiang and Hu rebellion in Longxi, the Li family will definitely support it."
