Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060 Preliminary

Guanzhong in April was not a big deal.

Under the coordination of the Secretary Group and the Staff Group, everything was carried out in an orderly manner to restore people's livelihood and consolidate the defense line in Guanzhong.

Wei Yan in the front has just passed through Hedong and entered the Shangdang territory, and there is not much news coming.

I really want to say that the only thing worth noting is that the emperor sent his servant Fei Yi as an angel to come to Guanzhong to announce the decree.

Feng Yongyou conquered the generals of the west, moved the generals of the town to the east, flattened the book affairs, gave fake yellow axes (the highest etiquette for holidays), and advocated buildings and other things.

Order him to temporarily take charge of military and civilian affairs in Guanzhong and Bingzhou Hedong and other places.

The former General Huwei Guan Suo moved to General Dong.

The original Zhenbei General Wei Yan, moved to Zhendong General, and was promoted to Marquis of Wugong County.

Jiang Wei, as the Central Supervision Army, moved to General Bei.

(Note: In the original history, Jiang Wei had just joined the Han Dynasty and became General Fengyi. Not long after that, Zhuge Liang believed that he was outstanding, so he directly asked him to lead the Tiger Army with five or six thousand people, and moved to the General of the West.)

(Many people think that in this book he moved up very quickly, but in fact it was much slower than in the original history.)

Wu Banqian Zhenyuan General.

Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Meng Yan, Liu Hun, Li Qiu, Huo Yi and other generals were promoted and rewarded differently.

The timely arrival of the angel immediately stabilized the lieutenant who was a little uneasy because of the prime minister's death.

Fei Yi finished his decree, he quietly found Feng Junhou in private, and asked:

"Nowadays, half of the Han country is tied to the emperor, which is the most important thing for the emperor. I don't know if the emperor has good words, do you need someone to convey them to the emperor?"

Feng Junhou knew that since Fei Yi was an angel, he must have come here to understand the situation in Guanzhong and Bingzhou clearly, so that he could go back and report to the emperor.

He pondered for a moment:

"The prime minister died, the army and the people were uneasy, Yong was young and ignorant, and lacked prestige. As the angel said, half of the Han country is tied to the eternal body, and Yong is deeply afraid that he will lose the trust of the emperor."

"Therefore, please ask the angels to go back and report to the Son of Heaven, and please send capable officials and generals to the newly established place to govern the place, lead the army and secure the border, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves again."

Fei Yi quickly said:

"Before the prime minister died, he also said: the power of a prince is enough to guard the land in the Guanzhong. Therefore, as long as there is a prince in the Guanzhong area, everyone needn't worry."

"However, the Prime Minister did not arrange for places such as Hedong and other places in Bingzhou. Moreover, these places were recovered by the princes and soldiers. If you say you are familiar with them, you are the princes."

"I don't know what the king thinks about this?"

Feng Junhou heard Fei Yi's words, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, his little fat brother-in-law, did he intend to ask him to recommend candidates?

Looking at Fei Yi with expectant eyes, Feng Junhou hesitated instead.

Recommending others to be superior, if you do it well, you can get a big favor.

But if something goes wrong in the future, then I will also be implicated.

Probably saw Feng Yong's hesitation, and recalled the advice of the emperor and empress before leaving, Fei Yi encouraged:

"I heard before that the princes have the ability to know people, but now the princes have the power to write and write. The princes just speak freely. Whether to use it or not is the emperor's own decision."

Hearing this, Feng Junhou could only speak:

"I have a choice for the land east of the river."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Jiang Boyue, the general who conquered the west, is sensitive to military affairs and has always been highly valued by the prime minister. It is no problem for him to lead troops to garrison Hedong."

Fei Yi listened and nodded:

"I have also heard of Jiang Boyue's name. I heard that this time in the Battle of Guanzhong, he not only led the army, but also confused the thieves."

"It's really extraordinary to be able to break Qiaoshan and lead the army straight to the city of Chang'an, and wiped out 20,000 thieves a few days ago."

This is regarded as agreeing with Feng Junhou's recommendation.

"In the land of Bingzhou, if I don't know the king, who can choose?"

Feng Junhou shook his head:

"The land of Bingzhou seems to be easy to defend, but in fact it is related to the stability of China, which is the most important thing. Therefore, I don't have too many suitable candidates for a while."

"Oh?" Fei Yi was far inferior to Feng Junhou in terms of military affairs. Hearing this, he asked modestly, "I don't know what the Junhou said?"

"In the 20th year of Jian'an (that is, 215 AD), the Cao thief abandoned the four counties of Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang in Bingzhou, and made each county lead its people, and they were combined into Xinxing County."

That is, Cao Cao gave up the four counties of Jiuyuan, moved the people of these four counties into Yanmen, set aside a part of Taiyuan County, established Xinxing County, and resettled these people.

The four counties of Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang seem to be isolated in the north, but in fact they are the crown on the head of Guanzhong, protecting Guanzhong.

How to use Jiuyuan as a barrier in Guanzhong, from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have exhausted their minds.

The most important reason Qin Shihuang asked Meng Tian to build straight roads, build the Great Wall, and drive away the Huns was to ensure the stability of Guanzhong.

Qin Zhidao directly leads to Jiuyuan, in order to quickly transport troops and food to support the Northland.

In the former Han Dynasty, this practice of Qin was also inherited.

But this approach has a drawback.

That is, Guanzhong is the land of the capital. With the stability of the society and the increase of the population, the food supply in Guanzhong will become more and more tense in the late Han Dynasty.

Coupled with the need to supply the northern army, it has caused a heavy burden on Guanzhong.

When Luoyang was the capital of the Later Han Dynasty, the original place of Jiuyuan was assigned to Bingzhou. In fact, Xihe County in Bingzhou was connected with the former place of Jiuyuan.

In this way, the defense of the Hetao area can be better integrated.

At the same time, you can get material support from the Kanto from Luoyang, and then transport it to Bingzhou from Luoyang.

In addition, in Jiuyuan, half of the defense was borne by the Southern Huns, so the burden was greatly reduced.

(Readers at the starting point can see the map in the comments at the end of the article, and those who read it elsewhere don't ask me why I can't see it)

In order to save trouble, Cao Cao gave up the old place of Jiuyuan and evacuated all the people and army officials, which is equivalent to removing the northern barrier in Guanzhong for hundreds of years.

As long as you can enter the old place of Jiuyuan, you can go south along the Qin Zhidao, cross Qiaoshan, and go straight to Guanzhong like the Xiongnu for hundreds of years.

Or like Feng Junhou, taking advantage of the unexpectedness of the enemy, the iron cavalry broke through various mountain pass checkpoints in Bingzhou, and went south to the bank of the big river.

"If it wasn't so, how could I enter Hedong from Bingzhou?"

It can be said that Cao Cao's operation back then planted the root of disaster for his grandson.

It is naturally impossible for Feng Junhou to make this mistake again.

After hearing this explanation, Fei Yi suddenly realized, and said again and again:

"In this way, the four counties of Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang in Bingzhou must not be lost! In Yiyi's opinion, we should set up a governor's office to unify the talents."

Feng Junhou laughed and said on the spot:

"What Fei Shizhong said is exactly what I think!"

Fei Yi heard that Feng Junhou thought of him together, and couldn't help being happy:

"So, Feng Junhou already has a candidate in mind?"

"I still can't make a decision about the governor of Bingzhou, but I have already thought about the governor of Jiuyuan's hometown."

"who?"

"Huo Shaoxian (Huo Yi)."

"Oh? You think he is the right candidate?"

"Huo Shaoxian is a loyal follower. He has made military achievements for a long time since he followed me. Over the years, he has also served as the governor of Jiuquan County in Liangzhou. He also knows a lot about the Hu people."

"The original place of Jiuyuan is the place where Hu people gather, so I think this person is the most suitable candidate."

Huo Yi grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a person in A Dou's pocket.

Although he has often been oppressed (by mistake) by General Guan these years, doing dirty work, but as long as he is entrusted to him, there has never been a mistake.

Even with the military achievements accumulated over the years, he should be able to stand out now.

Besides, he explained to Fei Yi the importance of Jiuyuan's hometown, and A Dou (aunt Zhang Xingcai?) must keep this place in the hands of the person he trusts most.

Otherwise, I will still be in the old capital, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep peacefully at night.

So Huo Yi, the governor of Jiuyuan's hometown, is the most suitable candidate.

Fei Yi was also well aware of the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Huo Yi, so he immediately said:

"Since the prince said so, then I will write it down, and I will tell the emperor when I go back, but this Bingzhou..."

Feng Junhou sighed:

"After thinking about it, this is not the position of governor of the state, and one person may be barely suitable."

"who?"

"Former general Deng Bomiao (namely Deng Zhi)."

This time, Fei Yi frowned:

"Deng Bomiao is steadfast and simple, and he forgets his family when he is in office. He is indeed a candidate, but Bingzhou is a newly established place, and it is also close to the bandits."

"However, Deng Bomiao has led the army all these years, and he can only be said to be quite satisfactory. If there is something outstanding, it is rare. Is he really suitable?"

Feng Junhou first nodded in agreement: "The former general led the army really not very well."

Then the topic changed: "But Shizhong Fei doesn't need to worry. Although the land of Bingzhou is adjacent to the bandit territory, it is separated by Taihang Mountain. The mountain is dangerous and obstructive. The former general only needs to guard the border by the mountain."

"Furthermore, Prince Jun, the general guarding Longguan, is strong and simple, and he has the general strategy. There is a general in the Liangzhou army, surnamed Liu and named Hun, who is good at riding and fighting. He was originally Hu'er, a Xiongnu in Bingzhou, and he is familiar with Bingzhou."

"If there are these two people to assist, why worry about Bingzhou?"

Fei Yi heard it, and then he laughed and said:

"Hearing what Junhou said, it's really appropriate."

The two of them have talked so far that they have already exchanged shallow words.

Fei Yi moved slightly closer to Feng Junhou, and deliberately lowered his voice:

"Junhou sits in Chang'an and guards the east and west of the river. It can be said that he has a high position and authority. However, there are not a few people in the army who have higher qualifications than Junhou."

"Just like Yang Yi who absconded and disappeared, she heard that she just didn't want to submit to the lord, so she ran away angrily."

"In my opinion, Yang Yi is not the only one who disobeys the ruler. Therefore, before Yi left, the emperor once said that the ruler has difficulties, so you can say it."

You mean Wei Yan?

If it wasn't for Zhang Xiaosi's reminder a few days ago, maybe Feng Junhou would really mention Wei Yan.

But at this moment, he just slightly raised his eyelids, and glanced at Fei Yi as if nothing.

Then he lowered his eyes again, raised his cup and took a sip of tea, and finally shook his head:

"If today's emperor has ordered me to temporarily take charge of everything in Guanzhong, Bingzhou, Hedong and other places, who would dare to disobey?"

"Please the angel go back and report to the Son of Heaven. Although Yong is not talented, he will definitely do his best and will not let thieves take advantage of it."

Fei Yi heard this and looked at Feng Junhou seriously.

It is true that he is not being polite, and finally nodded:

"Okay, since Junhou said so, then I won't ask any more questions. I wonder if Junhou has other things to explain?"

Feng Junhou thought for a while, then shook his head: "Not for the time being."

Fei Yi was afraid that he would forget what he had talked about earlier, so he immediately got up and said:

"Since that's the case, Na Yi will leave."

"I will send it to the waiter."

"Don't dare to trouble your lord."

"please."

"Your Majesty please."

Sending Fei Yi out of the gate of the house, Feng Yong subconsciously glanced to the east, thinking to himself:

"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, this time, don't let me down..."

Fei Yi didn't know what Feng Junhou was thinking. Under the protection of his guards, he strolled on Chang'an Avenue, feeling the stable atmosphere of Chang'an, and walked towards the temporary residence not far from the government office.

The war in Guanzhong has subsided for half a year.

As the old capital of the Han Dynasty and the core of Guanzhong, Chang'an gradually regained some popularity.

The popularity was driven by the caravans from Hanzhong.

These caravans either have a deep relationship with Xinghan, or they are desperate to make money.

After they arrived in Chang'an, they directly placed the goods in the place specially opened by Sima Yi for trading.

Although the connection with Kanto has not yet been restored, the caravan originally wanted to explore the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the goods were opened, someone would come upon hearing the news.

"This, can I change it?"

The left commander of the Xiongnu, Liu Hun's uncle Liu Bao, took a few tickets and handed them to the stall.

The weather has gotten warmer, and the people in the caravan looked at the barbarian in front of him who was still wearing a thick sweater.

The sweater was gray and black, and in some places it shone with oil under the sun.

At the moment, I feel a little contemptuous.

Just seeing the banknotes in this person's hand, but the amount is not small, a professional smile immediately piled up on his face:

"Of course, what do you want?"

"this."

Liu Bao pointed to the blankets piled on the ground.

This is what people in the caravan wrapped up to sleep overnight when they crossed the Qinling Mountains.

Liu Bao shook the notes on his hand again:

"These, can you buy them all?"

Is this... I was taken advantage of and sent money to my door?

Several guys in the caravan winked at each other, and someone reached out:

"This guest, can you show me this ticket?"

Over the years, there have been countless people who wanted to make counterfeit notes, but none of them could make exactly the same ones.

Nanxiang's papermaking technology is the best in the world, and no one else can produce paper of the same quality.

Not to mention the raw materials and ink materials used in the bills are top secret at all.

But just in case, the caravan was still cautious.

Liu Bao generously handed them all over.

He still has a big stack anyway.

Look, touch, smell, no problem.

Invite the stewards in the caravan who specialize in identifying authenticity and falsehood, and there is no problem.

"The customer wants to use these tickets to buy our blankets?"

The steward held the ticket tightly in his hand, smiling all over his face.

"right."

"The guests are really discerning. I will tell you that these blankets are made by senior female workers in Liangzhou, using the finest wool as material, and using the best looms to weave them."

The steward gave a thumbs up and praised:

"This blanket is not only thick, but also very durable. It can be worn to keep warm during the day and wrapped to sleep at night."

"I see that the guests are dressed in extraordinary clothes. I think it would be a very dignified thing to spread such a blanket at home or in the tent..."

The steward is eloquent.

Although Liu Bao has seen woolen fabrics before, they were all sold to them by the Kanto aristocratic family.

And it's the most inferior kind.

is the most inferior, and only the big bosses of the tribe can afford it.

After entering Guanzhong with the army, he also saw the woolen materials in the army, which were more exquisite than what he had seen before.

But those are all military supplies, and every piece is registered, so he can't buy it even if he wants to.

When the caravan entered Chang'an, Liu Bao thought of the stack of banknotes that General Guan flung out boldly at the beginning. Liu Bao was in the mood of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to be able to exchange for these high-quality woolen materials.

He was pleasantly surprised, pointing to the pile of blankets:

"Sold all?"

The steward waved his hand boldly: "Take it as making friends and sell them all!"

Of course Liu Bao knew that the notes he had in hand were valuable. After all, at the beginning, there were still some people in the volunteer army who were willing to exchange their extra weapons for notes.

But he really didn't expect that this ticket is so magical that even people who have never met before are willing to exchange good things for tickets.

"Where is this candy?"

"Worth a ticket."

"Is there any wine?"

"What kind of wine does the guest want? Here, we have spirits, honey wine and rose peach wine. You can choose."

"Everything."

Liu Bao watched the steward open a jar, smelling the mellow aroma of wine, his throat could not help but surge up and down.

Touched the banknotes in his arms, and was very pleasantly surprised:

General Guan and Feng Junhou are true gentlemen!

Let us come to Chang'an with the ticket, and we can exchange it for whatever we want, and we are not cheated at all!
