Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 688

Chapter 688 Persuasion

The master and mistress of the Feng family are discussing about taking concubines.

With no parties involved, Li Mu's fate was decided.

Feng Yong felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Should I ask Li Mu's opinion face to face?"

Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong with a smile that was not a smile, "At the beginning when the sixth housekeeper of the Li family asked Li Mu to come to Nanxiang, A Lang once said that there might be the intention of the prime minister."

"However, in the past few years, Li Mu has been entrusted by Alang to work diligently in Nanxiang, has he ever expressed his intention to leave?"

"Do you remember, Ah Lang, when I was in Pingxiang, my concubine mentioned that if Li Mu married, what should I do?"

"Although A Lang didn't say it clearly at the time, he really didn't think about this issue in his heart?"

After saying these words, Feng Junhou's face burned slightly, he was obedient and dared not say anything else.

Don't tell me if you see through, Xijun, you will have no friends if you do this.

Feng Guan said that what I want to do is to be the mistress of the Feng family, not to be friends with you, so she continued this topic.

"Has Lang ever remembered that he told his concubine that Li Mu's coming to Nanxiang might have something to do with the prime minister? In fact, my concubine has never forgotten this matter, and has always kept it in mind."

Guan Ji had a look of reminiscence on her face, "Although my concubine is dull, I also know that Alang's situation at that time was different from today's."

"Until later, because of A Lang's help, my aunt was able to get rid of the root cause of the disease and conceive the prime minister's child."

"The old concubine quietly asked my aunt about Li Mu after she got married to A Lang, but my aunt did not hide the concubine. Does A Lang know why the prime minister would do this?"

Feng Yong heard that Guan Ji could still remember this old story, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why?"

"Because it was rumored that A Lang was repented of his marriage, so he was more interested in the girl who was engaged..."

"Ahem, forget it, Xijun, let's talk about taking Li Mu as a concubine."

Feng Yong interrupted her directly, and said to him from left to right, "Li Mu is the first daughter of the aristocratic family, even if she agrees, where is the Li family...?"

"Don't worry, Ah Lang, my concubine had already mentioned this matter to Li Mu when I was in Pingxiang. If the Li family didn't agree, how could Li Mu come to Longxi in person this time?"

Think about when Xijun asked about Li Mu when she was in Pingxiang, it turned out that she had already made a decision at that time.

She really deserves to be the mistress of the Feng family!

As for the matter in the backyard, if she said it was up to her to decide, it was up to her to decide. For such a big matter, I didn't know it at the beginning, and I only had the right to accept the final result.

Sack of balls!

Feng Yong suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Then the Li family agreed? Li Mu said that Taigong Li was going to discuss the matter of Pingxiang with the elders of the clan, but Xijun said that if she was the concubine of the Feng family, the Li family would definitely agree to the matter of Pingxiang..."

Isn't this inconsistent?

Guan Ji smiled slightly, and held Feng Yong's hand, "Ah Lang, isn't it good to just take a nap and forget about such insignificant things?"

"Huh?" Looking at the smile on Xijun's face, Feng Yong coughed, "Oh, yes, what did I just say? How did I forget?"

Recalling Li Mu's serious appearance when he talked about this matter again, Feng Yong felt that his little gentleman seemed to have quietly completed his iron-fisted rule over the Feng family's inner court.

So if you hear your little gentleman telling you to pretend to be confused, then pretend to be confused.

The ancients said, it's not right, it's the later generations said: It's rare to be confused.

Equally confused is Didao Chang, who guards Didao.

Obviously I belong to Wei State, since the second half of this year, since Qianghu changed, I have repeatedly sent people to Jincheng for help.

Liangzhou did not send a single soldier, but let himself stick to the city.

Unexpectedly, the Shu Han, who was originally a sworn enemy, sent an envoy.

Di Daochang looked at Gongsun Zheng, who was originally joining the army in Longxi, who was sitting opposite him, and then at Li Taigong, the head of the Li family in Longxi, who was sitting on the main seat, feeling a little restless.

No wonder he was fidgeting.

In the current Didao, Shuhan is on the left, Liangzhou is on the right, there are Qianghu outside the city, and the Li family of Longxi, the largest land snake, in the city.

If you are a little careless, you will be different from the left and right.

He is a little Daoist Didao, and he has tried his best to defend Didao under the siege of Qianghu.

Facing the traitors of Wei, Daochang Di wanted to be tougher, but when he spoke, his tone was weak, and he even lacked confidence.

"Gongsun joins the army, will the big man really help Didao drive away the Qiang Hu?"

"Yan Mingting, the big Han now occupies the land of Longyou. The tiger looks at Guanzhong, and the right looks at Liangzhou. The Wei people have to send tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Guanzhong."

"As for Liangzhou, after the battle of Longyou, more than half of the cavalry were lost, and now they only have the power to defend themselves. If it were you, would you take Guanzhong first or Liangzhou first?"

Gongsun Zheng smiled slightly and asked.

Although he didn't want to answer, Daochang Di still said, "Liangzhou first, then Guanzhong."

"That's right! Longyou is high and Guanzhong is low, plus Longshan Mountain is separated. As long as the big Han guards the Longshan Pass, the Wei people can only look up and sigh."

"But Liangzhou is different. Longyou and Liangzhou are originally one, and there is no natural danger between the two. Instead, the big man can go westward with all his strength, and he will divide his troops into two directions to attack from north to south."

"All the way from Nan'an to attack Yuzhong, all the way through Didao to conquer Jincheng, so Didao is the place that the big Han must take."

"The big man regards Di Dao as the thing in his palm, how can he allow the barbarians to act like this?"

"On the contrary, Ming Ting, even if it is capable of rejecting the Qiang Hu and protecting Di Dao this time, there is no war in Liangzhou now, and the Wei people can still ignore Di Dao's difficulties."

"In the future, when the Han soldiers attack Liangzhou in two ways, is it possible that the Ming court still expects the Wei people to send troops to rescue Di Daoye?"

Di Daochang remained silent.

After the First Battle of Longyou, Hao Zhao led the remnants of the army to cross Di Dao, riding like a dog in mourning.

At that time, it was still leading the people for food, so that the defeated army could rest.

So he naturally knows what the situation of the Liangzhou army is now.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the head of the Li family who was sitting on the main seat, and asked, "Grandpa, what do the Li family want?"

The Patriarch of the Li family lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't answer Daochang Di's words directly, but asked a question instead.

"Ming Ting, I remember, you are in the same family as Yan Zhong, who was held hostage by the Liangzhou rebels 40 years ago, right?".

"It is the uncle of a certain family."

Di Daochang didn't understand why the Patriarch of the Li family would ask this question.

The Patriarch of the Li family nodded: "More than forty years ago, the Qiang Hu caused disasters in the village, and the momentum was huge. At that time, Li Shen, the prefect of Longxi, happened to be our Li family."

"Li Shen got the imperial court's order, recruited elites and rewarded them with more rewards, and stood firm. Until Han Sui gathered more than 100,000 troops and entered the siege of Longxi, Li Shen asked the imperial court for help."

"I didn't know that Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, first appointed treacherous people as officials, extorted violently and extorted money, which chilled the hearts of Liangzhou officials, and then, regardless of the danger in Longxi, sat around Di Dao with Han Sui's soldiers."

"Li Shen was to protect the people of Longxi, so he had to rely on Han Sui. Later, Geng Bi was greedy for merit and led the army to Didao himself. Instead, he was mutinied and died in the rebellion."

Longxi prefect Li Shen from the Li family attached himself to the rebels. This is not something to boast about, and it is even a stain on the Li family.

If it is said that the people who are attached to the rebels are other members of the family who have not become officials, that is okay.

After all, separate betting is the basic operation of the family.

But Li Shen is different, he is the prefect of Longxi, how many prefects are there in the whole world?

Shepherding one side for the imperial court, but no moral integrity is given up. A gentleman despises someone who eats the king's salary and attaches himself to a thief.

So Daochang Di didn't know why the Patriarch of the Li family would take the initiative to bring up this old event in public.

"In contrast, Ming Ting's clan uncle had a lot of backbone. He was held hostage by Han Sui, but he refused to help the tyrant in his abuse, and finally died angrily."

Having said this, the Li family finally looked straight at Daochang Di.

"Forty-five years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across the world, the prefectures fell, and the chief officials fled. The whole world responded, and the capital was shaken."

"However, in the end it was wiped out by Huangfu Hussar from Liangzhou..."

When Daochang Di heard the last sentence, his expression changed on the spot.

"After Huangfu Huqi pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, his power shook the world. However, at that time, the government was in trouble and the country was empty. Yan Zhong, who was also from Liangzhou, once persuaded him to act according to the time and act on the occasion."

Di Daochang blushed, and stopped the head of the Li family: "Mr. Li, be careful!"

The Patriarch of the Li family shook his head lightly, and smiled calmly: "The Li family does not hide the matter of Li Shen, why should the Ming Court cover up the matter of Yan Zhong?"

"Yan Zhong persuaded Huangfu Huanqi not to be a minister, but a few years later, Han Sui embraced him as the thirty-six rebel army, named Cheqi General, why would he rather die than obey? Ming court can know why?"

Di Daochang took a deep breath.

"Han Sui is just a villain who obeys the orders of the Hulu. He is willing to be with the Hulu, that's his business. My Yan family is a prominent family in Liangzhou. How can I follow the Hulu's hair and wear the left lapel?"

"That's right!" The Patriarch of the Li family sighed, "In order to protect Didao and Li's family, Li Shen had to give up his life to serve the thieves. Not only him, but even the women in the Li family also served the thieves with their bodies."

"Li Shen is willing to destroy his own reputation, and the daughters of the Li family are willing to serve the thieves with their bodies. What they do is to protect the Didao and Li family members."

The head of the Li family stared at Daochang Di, and said word by word, "Even if Liangzhou was abandoned by the Guandong court, it is still our homeland, not a pasture where barbarians graze horses."

"If the people of Wei can protect Di Dao, my Li family will naturally go to the state of Wei."

"But if he can't, then why should my Li family be loyal to Wei? Is it true that the Qiang Hu broke into the city, took my family property, burned my house, slaughtered my family, and humiliated my wife and daughter?"

Gongsun Zheng said: "That's right! Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of our Liangzhou people. Whoever can protect Liangzhou, then we will go to him. Mingting, don't you understand what Uncle Ling did back then?"

Di Daochang was shocked, and it took him a long time to ask: "How do I know that the Han people can keep Liangzhou?"

Gongsun Zheng smiled meaningfully: "Mingting, but who did the Han army send to garrison Shouyang to relieve Didao's siege?"

"who?"

"Marquis Quanting of Han Street, Feng Yong, Captain of Hu Qiang School."

"Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain god?"

Daochang Didao blurted out.

These days, the Han people in the advanced civilization are full of ghosts and gods, let alone the barbarians who are regarded by the Han people as barbaric and rude.

Guo Huai was regarded as a **** by the Hu people because he inquired about the population, cattle and sheep of each tribe in advance, and was able to tell the situation of the tribe to the visiting chiefs.

It is most normal for Feng Yong to be known as a descendant of a mountain god.

From the fact that Di Daochang said Feng Yong's name in Qianghu's mouth, it can be seen that he has indeed carefully understood the situation of the Han army in the east.

"Pfft!" Gongsun Zheng couldn't help laughing, "That's right! It's Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain **** that Qianghu said!"

"Longyou Qianghu, when they heard that Feng Langjun had arrived, they all followed him. In the battle at Jieting, Feng Langjun and Zhang Yun were in a stalemate. It was the Qianghu coalition forces that attacked Zhang He that defeated the Wei army."

"It can be seen that Feng Langjun holds a lot of weight in Qianghu's mind, and Didao's mere siege of Qianghu is nothing in front of Feng Langjun!"

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

Feng Yong's reputation among Qianghu, coupled with the title of Marquis of Jiequanting, is indeed very important.

When Di Daochang heard that Feng Yong personally led the army to relieve Di Dao's siege, his heart finally began to waver.

Gongsun Zheng saw his expression and struck while the iron was hot.

"If the Ming court is willing to abandon the thief and follow the righteousness, it will not only make a great contribution, but the big man will have his own reward, and Marquis Feng also promised something else."

"Feng Hou said that you can give a batch of woolen materials to Mingting in private, whether it is woolen cloth, woolen yarn, blankets, or even sweaters, woolen clothing, etc."

"At that time, Ming Ting can use it for itself, or resell it to Hu people. If Ming Ting has connections, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and even Guandong, I don't know how many people can't ask for it."

"Now that the Cao bandits are sealing off the pass, only the caravan transporting wool can be unimpeded, and there are people who buy it at a high price in Chang'an."

The wool in Feng Langjun's hands is a hard currency that is harder than five baht in Wei Guo.

Not to mention Liangzhou, where snow begins to fall in September.

One of the most inferior blankets can be exchanged for three sheep at the Hu tribe in Liangzhou. After Dunhuang, that is twice as much.

Not only Gongsun Zheng knew this, but also the Patriarch of the Li family and Daoist Di.

Gongsun Zheng said at the end, he emphasized his tone: "If the Yan family is interested, they can also cooperate with Feng Hou, and the quantity of wool can be discussed at that time."

When Daochang Di heard the last sentence, his heart was finally moved.

Jiang, Ren, Yan, and Zhao are the four surnames in Tianshui.

The Jiang family moved the fastest and launched Jiang Wei.

It can be said that the Yan family is more than one step behind.

If you can seize this opportunity, maybe you will be a hero of the Yan family.

Among other things, with the power of the Yan family, even if it is difficult to sell to the Kanto, it is not a problem to sell to Liangzhou or even the Western Regions!

Of course, the batch of wool as a gift is not the point, the point is that the batch of wool is given to myself alone.

The woolen material is warm, making Magistrate Yan's body warm from the inside to the outside.

"Since that's the case, just wait for Feng Hou to lead the army to Didao, and I will personally open the city gate to welcome the king's division."

"Okay! That's the deal!" Gongsun Zheng said loudly, "A gentleman."

"A four-horse horse is hard to chase!" Daochang Di responded, and then he turned to the head of the Li family, "Mr. Li is a witness to this matter!"

"no problem!"

The Patriarch of the Li family chuckled.

Gongsun Zheng achieved his goal in this trip, and carefully avoided the Qianghu around Didao, and returned to Shouyang without stopping.

Feng Yong learned that Gongsun Zhengping had returned, so he immediately interviewed him.

"Your Majesty, fortunately, your life is not disgraceful!"

As soon as Gongsun Zheng entered the hall with a happy face, he arched his hands and said to Feng Yong.

Feng Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, "I knew Boyan would succeed, sit down and tell me carefully, how did you convince the Li family and General Didao?"

Gongsun Zheng did not take credit for it, "Wei army in Liangzhou is weak and unable to rescue Didao, but the Hu people are in a hurry to attack, and coupled with the huge profits promised by the princes, why is it difficult to persuade?"

Immediately, he told about Didao's trip.

Feng Yong praised again: "Bo Yan understands reason, moves with emotion, and promises benefits, quite like Li Sheng."

Gongsun Zheng said modestly: "It's just a trivial achievement, how dare you compare it with Li Sheng?"

"Bo Yan went to Didao this time, did he check out the situation of Qiang Hu?"

Feng Yong asked again.

Gongsun Zheng nodded: "Back to the Lord, the situation of Di Dao and Qiang Hu, I am afraid that Zheng will not be able to find out for a while, so I invited someone who is familiar with Di Dao's situation."

"Oh, who is it?"

"This person is the grandson of the Li family in Longxi. His name is Jian and his name is Shu Rui. He is waiting outside at this time. You can let him come in and explain Di Dao's situation in detail."

Gongsun Zheng said.

"Okay." Feng Yong was overjoyed when he heard that the Li family in Longxi had sent their grandson over.

He thought for a while, and then shouted out the door, "Come on, invite Mrs. Mu over here."
