Chapter 776 Promise

  At the end of July, the Hanzhong area has entered the rainy season.

  The water level in the Western Han Dynasty soared, and Feng Yong, who was urgently recalled to Hanzhong by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, had to give up the idea of ​​taking a boat and rode all the way back to Hanzhong along the Western Han River.

   It was raining, so Feng Yong only took his personal guards on the road.

  Guan Ji and her children stayed in Pingxiang until the end of August before leaving as planned.

   "Brother, the rain seems to be heavier than before. Do you want to find a place to stay?"

  Li Yi was wearing a bamboo hat and worn clothes, wiped the water from his face, and asked.

   Feng Yong looked up at the sky.

  The sky was gray, cold raindrops fell on his face, and he felt that the rain had already flowed down his neck and into his clothes. It was moist and uncomfortable.

  Feng Yong asked: "How is the road condition on this road? How long will it take to reach Wudu?"

  Li Yi glanced at Xu Xun who happened to be walking back to Hanzhong.

  Xu Xun quickly replied: "Brother, the road conditions are not bad. If we go at the current speed, it may be dark by the time we reach Wudu."

   "The rain is not too heavy. You can continue on your way and rest before dark. Let people go to the front to check first to see if the road has collapsed. Be careful."

   Soon, two riders speeded up and rushed forward.

  Feng Yong got off his horse, walked to a high ground, and looked down at the Xihan River not far below.

  When this road was taken in spring two years ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army could still use it to transport grain.

   But now, Feng Yong can still hear the raging roar even if he is standing far away.

  The leather boots made of fine cowhide tanned were soaked, the water seeped into them, and the feet were clammy and cold.

  There was the sound of "creaking" stepping on the mud behind him, and Feng Yong didn't have to turn his head to know that Li Yi and Xu Xun were following.

   "In the past two years, you have taken Dongfeng Express to transport grain to Longyou, and you have really worked hard."

   Feng Yong said.

  I and others are still traveling on Qingqi, but Dongfeng Express has to transport food in this situation, and it is hard work, needless to say.

  Xu Xun didn't expect his elder brother to say this, and quickly replied:

   "Brother is leading the army in the front to kill thieves. That is to protect the brothers with his life. The brothers in the meeting can have today. Who is not grateful to brother?"

   "The little brother is just transporting food in the back. Compared with the elder brother, how can it be called hard work?"

  Military merit is the fastest way to advance. As the leader of the club, the elder brother naturally has a higher position and more stable standing, and the more hopeful the brothers in the club will be.

  Take the present as an example, the elder brother is the captain of Hu Qiang, and he is in charge of all affairs of the Hu people in Longyou, which is a big piece of fat.

   What is the price of the food distributed to the Hu people, what is the price of the cattle, sheep, horses, wool, leather, etc. that are collected, and what is the price of the sold, etc.

   Isn't it up to the elder brother to decide?

  Brother has the final say, isn’t it just that Xinghanhui has the final say?

  Even if the brothers in the club don’t do anything, they can make a lot of money by talking about it and turning their hands.

   It's just how did the Hu Qiang Captain come from?

   Didn't my brother sacrifice his life for it?

  Rushing Longguan, fighting fiercely at Jieting, managing barbarians, intimidating Liangzhou, and changing people at will, can you do it?

  So it is most suitable for my elder brother to take up the post of guarding the Qiang school lieutenant.

   "If you really want to say hard work, brother is hard work."

  Xu Xun said sincerely.

  He often runs to Pingxiang, so he naturally knows what kind of place Pingxiang is.

   At the very beginning, the city wall was not even a soil enclosure, and the base of the wall was full of feces and urine.

  Compared to Jincheng, I don't know how many times it is worse.

  Now the brothers in the club live comfortably, and that is because the elder brother is supporting them in front.

  Feng Yong held the whip in his hand and smiled lightly:

   "You don't have to humble yourself. I walked this road two years ago and know what it's like."

   "Besides, there was a severe drought in Longyou at that time. It was you who worked tirelessly and led people to transport food to Longyou, which eased the urgent need to protect Qiang Xiaowei's mansion."

   "Longyou is able to have today, if you really count, you also have credit."

  Xu Xun heard his elder brother boasting himself like this, although his mouth was modest, but the corner of his mouth that grinned to the ear clearly expressed his heart.

  Feng Yong turned around and said to Xu Xun, "Longyou is barely settled down now, and you won't have to work so hard in the future. What are your plans next?"

  Xu Xun was taken aback.

  Li Yi reacted quickly and kicked him from behind.

  Xu Xun finally understood, his heart was beating wildly: I am... going to officially become the core of Xinghanhui after Zhao Erlang and Li Dalang?

  The people who took up positions of real power in the Xinghan Society were the first few who followed their elder brothers.

  After all, at the age of everyone, they are still in the stage of mixed qualifications.

   Except for my elder brother, almost no one else has a chance to stand out.

  Xu Xun's voice trembled a little: "Little brother listens to brother's arrangement."

  Feng Yong smiled slightly, and didn't keep it secret:

   "I have two paths here. The first is that the prime minister intends to change Yuejuan into an inner county. Meng Yan, the prefect of Yuejuan, is going to be transferred to Hanzhong to enter the prime minister's mansion, and Zishi (Wang Xun) is moved to be the prefect."

   "The prime minister asked me if there was anyone I wanted to recommend for the vacant post of prime minister."

  This is the differential treatment between the second generation of officials and the students who came out of the school.

   Zhang Yuan is the most outstanding student in the school, and he is currently studying in the martial arts hall. After graduation, he can become a trainee captain, which is considered the highest start.

   This achievement was only possible under Feng Yong's special care.

   As the second generation of officials, Xu Xun has accumulated some credit, and he started directly as the county magistrate.

  Xu Xun's face lit up, he swallowed, resisted the impulse, and looked at Feng Yong, "I don't know what the second one is?"

   "The second point is that the students in the General Staff Department of Huqiang are now teaching martial arts. Some logistical matters are too cumbersome. I want to find someone to help manage them."

   "You have helped the Longyou Army transport grain in the past few years, and you have a lot of experience. You should be able to get started quickly."

   "Of course, if you don't like these two, I can still recommend it to the prime minister or the emperor..."

  Before Feng Yong finished speaking, Xu Xun interrupted him directly: "Brother, younger brother chooses the second option, and works in the Huqiang Captain's Mansion."

  Jun Cheng looks pretty good now, but don’t forget that Hu Qiang Xiaowei’s Mansion is in charge of all the affairs of Hu people in Longyou, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou in name.

   I don't know how many times the future of the future is bigger than that of Jun Cheng!

  As for the prime minister's mansion, Yang Yi, Wei Yan, Jiang Wan and others are not only a generation older than me, but also more senior than me.

  With my current age and capital, I don't have Li Wenxuan's capital.

  When I went there, I was serving tea and pouring water at most. How many years would it take to get ahead?

  Huqiang Xiaowei's mansion is naturally inferior to the prime minister's mansion, but how old is your brother?

   And as long as you are not blind, you can see how much the prime minister regards your elder brother, so even if your elder brother's future is worse than that of the prime minister, it may not be much worse!

   Now that you have this good opportunity, wouldn't you be stupid if you don't hug your thighs tightly?

   As for recommending to the emperor, it is even more unnecessary.

  My lord is now the chief minister, Qiu Cheng, and he is someone trusted by the middle palace. What do you still squeeze in?

  Xu Xun was able to make a choice so quickly, which surprised Feng Yong slightly.

  He glanced at Xu Xun approvingly: "Okay, when we arrive in Wudu, I will immediately send someone to Hanzhong to ask the prime minister for instructions."

  Not only Xu Xun, but also Li Yi was a little surprised when he said this: "My brother is going to Hanzhong anyway, why not mention it to the prime minister at that time?"

  Feng Yong took a deep look in the direction of Guanzhong, and said to the two meaningfully: "I'm afraid it will be too late."

  What is too late?

  The two looked at each other in confusion, and were about to ask again, when they saw the two riders who had gone to explore the road just galloping back.

   "Report to the Lord, the road ahead is not damaged!"

   "Okay. Get on the horse and go!"

  Feng Yong waved his whip and ordered.
