Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 787

Chapter 787 Negotiation

Different from the tense atmosphere already present in Jicheng, Ping Xiang seemed much more relaxed, even a little...excited? Or fanaticism.

Because after the Xiaowei Mansion officially announced that it was in a state of combat readiness, many tribes began to move their minds:

This righteous soldier, is there any way to get in?

Although raising sheep on pastures does not worry about food and clothing, you are still a sheep raiser after all.

It is not impossible to raise sheep, but it is certainly not as beneficial as participating in the volunteer army.

Besides, being a Hu man who raises sheep is still a Hu man after all.

The low-level Hu people are stupid, but it does not mean that the well-informed and tribal leaders who often deal with Han people are stupid.

I want to get benefits from the Han people, or to ensure that I can live without worrying about food and clothing.

The first method is to learn from the Huns in the pre-Han, or the Xianbei in the later Han, and force the Han people to send them to their door.

For hundreds of years, countless people have played this idea.

Of course, the death was also horrible, with layers of bones laid out.

For example, the Liangzhou Rebellion, although the later Han court suffered unspeakably, the price paid by the Hu people in Liangzhou was the disappearance of countless tribes.

Even the most powerful Xianbei people have to submit to the Han people on the surface, and at most they are just intruding in the northern border.

Although the behemoth of the Han Empire has fallen, its afterglow still shines on this land, and its aftermath still has a strong deterrent force.

Not to mention that in the land of Longyou, everyone's life is much easier than before.

But it is also true that many tribes in Longyou were exterminated when the Huqiang School Weifu was first established.

Those who follow me prosper, those who go against me perish, that's all.

The tribe that did not take refuge in the Huqiang Captain's Mansion at the beginning, and survived by chance, resisted in their hearts at the very beginning, but they couldn't stand their bodies and leaned over so honestly.

If you can't resist, then obey, this is an instinctive choice for survival.

So in this case, if there is a choice, the best strategy is naturally to be like Huhanxie Shanyu, the Hun.

While maintaining their own power, they expressed their surrender to the Han people.

It can not only get the support of the Han people, but also get benefits from the Han people every year.

But now it seems that this choice is not very good.

Because in the past two years, the tribes with such thoughts have been placed in the outermost periphery of the north of Pingxiang.

Of course there are benefits, but they have to be exchanged for cattle, sheep, horses, wool and fur.

Barely surviving starvation and freezing to death is much better than before.

But if you want to live comfortably and grow your tribe, that is just a dream.

Now some tribes have begun to regret it, and come here to find a way with a shy face.

This road is blocked, so the worst policy is to imitate the descendants of Han Xie Shanyu, who are chasing kings day by day, keeping power symbolically in their hands, but in reality they are acting as watchdogs for the Han people.

At present, most of the tribes in Longyou are in this state.

But who wants to be a dog if they can be a human?

I can't get the best policy, but I don't want to do the worst policy. Fortunately, there is another middle policy.

Zhongce has already set an example in history: Kim Il-dun.

Jin Ridun is the most successful example of integrating into the Han people. He is not only respected by the Han people, but his family has been passed down to this day.

Based on the current situation in Longyou, this road is the best way out.

It's a pity that Han Chinese household registration is the most difficult thing in the world to get.

Of course, the household registration in Qu Shuai's mind is not the ordinary household registration issued by the government.

What they need is a passport to the upper elite, the kind of "status household registration" that can be recognized by the ruling class.

How to obtain this household registration?

The first method is to sacrifice everything, including the clansmen, kneel and lick in all directions, and get a pass first.

As for how to integrate later, that is something to be considered later.

But this approach is too risky.

Although Huqiang Xiaowei's mansion has a good reputation now, who dares to say that Huqiang Xiaowei's mansion can protect himself for a lifetime?

Now you can use money to clear the way, but whose money is unlimited? Can clear the way for a lifetime?

Too much money is given away, but it will attract more people to rush to take a bite.

In case of encountering the greedy one, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect my fortune.

In the past, those wealthy Han families in Liangzhou were best at doing such immoral things.

So what is the correct way to get a pass?

Liu Hun, the son of the Xiongnu who was named the Marquis of Guiyi by the emperor of the Han family, had already pointed out the way.

Of course, again, it is not unacceptable to be like the dog steward Duan Muzhe.

Many Qu Shuai thought this way in their hearts: Anyway, they are selling heads, so why don't I choose the one with the highest **** ratio to sell?

Of course, Hu people don't understand what **** comparison is, but that's what it means.

The men who set up horses are straightforward by nature, and they are not as good as those who play tricks, but they have a good skill handed down from their ancestors: robbery and murder.

Killing Cao thief is also killing, right?

So participating in the volunteer army, selling the heads of warriors of one's own tribe, laundering and going ashore after getting enough credit is currently the most cost-effective way out.

The frenzy in Pingxiang City was partly caused by Qu Shuai, who was about to sell the heads of his own tribe's warriors.

The return of Feng Junhou made this enthusiasm even higher.

Seeing the majestic gate on the high platform was opened, and the guards surrounded the tall figure in the red cloak and disappeared into the gate, many people who were observing in the dark breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only the people outside, but also the people in the Huqiang Captain's Mansion, seeing the return of the real owner of the Captain's Mansion, they couldn't help but feel at ease.

Pass through the first inner door and come to the daily office building complex of Xiaowei Mansion.

Two rows of wing rooms face each other, here are the two most important departments of the Xiaowei Mansion.

One side is the secretariat that deals with political affairs, and the other is the staff department that formulates training and combat plans.

Gongsun Zheng, who had received the information a long time ago, stood at the intersection of the corridor, and bowed his hands to Feng Yong who was in a hurry: "I have seen you."

Feng Yong slightly nodded, pointed to Xu Xun who had been trotting behind him, and introduced:

"This is Xu Yuande. He is now the deputy chief of staff of the Staff Department of the Colonel's Mansion. From now on, he will be in charge of logistics in the army."

Then he turned around and said to Xu Xun, "Chief Gongsun, the head of the staff department, I think you should know him."

Xu Xun quickly said, "I know you. I used to deal with Chief of Staff Gongsun when I brought food. I didn't expect to be a colleague now."

Gongsun Zheng also followed suit.

"Okay, Yuande, you go with Chief of Staff Gongsun to get acquainted. I still have something to do, so I will go ahead."

After Feng Yong explained, he didn't intend to stay too long.

"Don't dare to bother brother, brother please."

Feng Yong waved his hand and continued walking forward without looking back.

Although Feng Yong seemed to just bring Xu Xun here along the way, Gongsun Zheng did not dare to neglect at all.

Over the past two years, Xu Xun has personally traveled with Dongfeng Express between Longyou and Shu, and delivered the most important supplies of the Huqiang Captain's Mansion, which shows that this person is deeply respected by Feng Junhou.

In addition, Xu Xun is a member of Xinghanhui.

In Gongsun Zheng's view, this is the Junhou's release of his own people to the key departments of Xiaowei's Mansion.

Because these logistics matters are related to the food and grass in the army, as well as the post-war military statistics and other important matters.

Those who are in charge of these matters are the students of Junhou.

Later, those students were transferred to Nanxiang. Now that the war is going on, it is only natural for the king to let people from the Xinghan Society come over to take over.

The staff department welcomes the new colleagues warmly, but the door of the office where the secretary of the secretariat is located is closed.

After Feng Yong left, the window that had been quietly opened was finally pushed open.

Xu Xun, who was about to enter the room, heard the movement, turned his head subconsciously, and saw Zhang Xingyi poking his head out.

"What are you looking at?" Secretary Zhang scolded loudly: "It's a very important place, why are you making so much noise?"

The head of the staff department repeatedly cupped his hands at Secretary Zhang, "I'm sorry Secretary Zhang, I didn't pay attention for a while."

Then hurriedly dragged Xu Xun into the room.

After closing the door, Gongsun Zheng said to Xu Xun earnestly:

"Xu Langjun, the opposite is the secretariat of the school captain's mansion, except for the military affairs, all other matters are under its jurisdiction. This secretary...cough cough..."

Gongsun Zheng was thinking of what words to use to remind Xu Xun tactfully, but Xu Xun himself answered:

"I know, that secretary is a strange woman who won't give way to men. When I meet her in the future, I will carefully avoid her."

Gongsun Zheng looked at Xu Xun in surprise when he heard Xu Xun's words.

噫? This Mr. Xu Lang seems to be very upright, no wonder he is valued by Feng Junhou.

He didn't know that when Xu Xun saw Guan Ji and Zhang Xingyi, his legs always trembled subconsciously.

Of course, this is not just because it was broken that year.

At the same time, because of watching Feng Yong step by step become the leader of the younger generation of big men over the years, Xu Xun felt more and more the vicious eyes of the two women back then.

So now many people suspect that the Guan and Zhang families really have some ancestral secret method of observing people?

Otherwise, why are the two generations betting so accurately?

Secretary Zhang got angry for no reason, and no one dared to touch her, which made her very depressed.

Recalling the hurried steps to the backyard just now, and seeing that the sun was still high in the sky, Zhang Xingyi felt a little hot on his face for some reason.

Then she gave a "pooh" and "bang" the window.

In contrast to the closed doors and windows of the chief secretary's office, the doors and windows of the large wing in the backyard of the Captain's Mansion are wide open.

Mrs. Junhou stood at the door, smiling slightly at Junhou who was walking quickly from a distance, which actually made Feng Yong lose his mind for a moment.

Thinking of Mei Rui who met her beauty for the first time and was as deserted as after the first snow.

Now that she is a mother, she has another layer of softness on her body.

"Ah Lang is back?"

Guan Ji stepped forward, helped Feng Yong take off his cloak, and greeted him softly.

"Well, back."

Feng Yong stood still, looking at Xijun's smooth and jade-like face, his mouth echoed.

Smelling the faint scent of frankincense, Feng Junhou became agitated like a young boy in love.

I saw this person asked eagerly: "Where is the child?"

Guan Ji pursed her lips and smiled, pointing inside.

Feng Yong quickly walked two steps into the house, seeing his son and daughter who were crawling on the mat, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart:

"Boys, I'm back!"

Then he flew over, stretched out his arms, one in each hand, and directly embraced his children in his arms.

"Wow!"

Ah Chong was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the stranger that he burst into tears. At the same time, he stretched out his chubby hand to his grandmother who was following him, shaking constantly, wanting his grandmother to come and save him.

Both, on the other hand, grinned stupidly, and then patted Feng Yong's face with a small hand, scratching vigorously!

Feng Yong let out an "ouch" from the pain, and hurriedly let go of Ah Chong, so that he could free his hand and carefully pull his daughter's hand away.

Guan Ji, who was following behind, saw this scene, both angry and funny.

Put down the cloak conveniently, then came over and complained:

"A Lang himself always said to be careful about cleaning, but you have just come back, and you are covered in dust, and you don't say to wash it first, just hug the child like this, and you are not afraid of getting the child dirty."

I saw her squatting down and patting Ah Chong while talking.

Ah Chong seemed to feel very safe with his mother, so he stopped crying all of a sudden.

"I was impatient. When I saw the child, I forgot everything in my heart."

Feng Yong smiled apologetically, raised his daughter with both hands, watched her yelling, stretched out his chubby hand, and quickly lifted her a little farther away.

Guan Ji seems a little dissatisfied with her children's memory: "Ah Lang has only been away for a few days, and they won't remember you."

"Children, your brain... your mind hasn't matured yet, how can you remember?"

Feng Yong didn't care.

"The concubine has already prepared hot water, why don't Alang take a bath first?"

Feng Yong nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lao Xi is here."

"The concubine is just giving instructions, why is Alang so polite?"

Guan Ji was a little surprised how her Alang could say these words.

Feng Junhou looked at the door with a guilty conscience, um, no one was there.

Then he coughed, and said with a serious expression: "I mean, I have been on the road these days, and my body is covered with a layer of mud. Later, Mr. Lao Xi will help."

"No time!"

Guan Ji has been hanging out with this person for a long time, seeing him like this, she didn't know what his plan was, so she immediately gave this person a blank look:

"The child is dirty, I want to bathe the child."

"Oh! Let the nursing mother wash their hands and faces. It is not advisable to wash too much. The skin of the child is delicate and easy to hurt."

Feng Junhou worked very hard to popularize knowledge to Mrs. Junhou.

When Guan Ji heard this, her heart trembled inexplicably, and her eyes widened slightly.

She hesitated for a moment, then bit her plump red lips lightly, seeming a little suspicious: "Really?"

"Nature is true."

Feng Junhou made a vow.

The weather in early September is the most suitable time for people.

The water temperature is just right, soaking in it makes people feel refreshed, and they just want to soak until the end of time, and don't want to come out.

But Guan Ji, who was temporarily in charge of Qiang Xiaowei's mansion, did not forget the urgent military situation in the east of Longyou, and urged Feng Yong several times before pulling Feng Yong out of the tub.

Standing in front of the military map and sand table, Feng Yong yawned a little tiredly, and pulled the rocking chair casually to lie down.

Guan Ji's face was flushed with steam from the bath, and the blush hadn't completely receded. When she saw this person, she was about to close her eyes, and immediately glared at him.

Feng Yong seemed to be aware of Guan Ji's dissatisfaction, and quickly waved his hand: "I have studied the map of Longyou and Guanzhong hundreds of times, and I have memorized it by heart."

Guan Ji knew that he might be really tired after coming all the way, but she didn't force her: "The old general asked Xiaowei's mansion to assist Xiao Guan on that journey. What is Alang's plan?"

"Naturally, the Yuezhi City will be conquered, and it will become a fight with Xiaoguan."

Feng Yong closed his eyes and said, "Although the terrain of Xiaoguan is dangerous, it is mainly used in Guanzhong to guard against the desert in the north and Longyou in the west."

"Now that it is in our hands to guard against Guanzhong, it will naturally not be able to play its dangers. If we can get Yueshi City in our hands, then Xiaoguan will be stable and worry-free."

Xiaoguan is the only stronghold of the Han in Guanzhong, and there is another Longshan Mountain separated from Longyou. Rescue is far more difficult than Longguan.

So how to stabilize Xiaoguan has always been the focus of Zhao Yun and Feng Yong's thinking.

"Yuezhi City has fallen into our hands. If Cao really doesn't want to lose Anding County, he must increase his troops and go north. We can achieve the goal of mobilizing the Wei army in Guanzhong to respond to Hanzhong."

Guan Ji heard these words, walked behind Feng Yong, and helped him rub his shoulders:

"Where is Jingyang in the south of Xiaoguan? Back then, Yueshi City was inexplicably lost, which shows that there are capable people in Cao's bandit army."

"If the Cao thief set up an ambush in Jingyang in the south, and only waited for Alang's army to leave Xiaoguan and go west, and then attack Xiaoguan, then what should it be?"

Feeling Guan Ji's just-in-weight massage, Feng Yong was so comfortable that he was about to groan:

"How is the situation at Zhao Guang's side?"

Although Guan Ji didn't understand why Feng Yong suddenly asked Zhao Guang, she still replied:

"It's not bad. I sent the military report back the day before yesterday, saying that the city has been broken, and it is now finishing."

The Xiaowei Mansion dispatched Jingqi and Engineering Battalion, and it was expected to break the little Cao thief in Hexi, guarding such a small town.

"Erlang has come out." Feng Yong sighed, "When I went to Jicheng, the old general rarely said anything wrong with him."

Guan Ji finally understood after hearing this: "What does A Lang mean, let Erlang protect the rear of the army?"

The school captain's mansion rides finely, coming and going like the wind.

Cao thief really dared to come from the south, as long as he was dragged by Jingqi for two days, with the quality of the infantry of the school captain's mansion, it would be no problem to turn around quickly and make dumplings instead.

"Mobilize the enemy, naturally the more you mobilize, the better."

Feng Yong said casually, "We are going to attack Yuezhi City with great fanfare. Could it be that Chang An Neng ignores this? Do you really want An Ding County?"

Guan Ji laughed when she heard this:

"Ah Lang originally thought this way, but the concubine also has a plan to discuss with A Lang."

"Huh?!" Feng Yong opened his eyes suddenly, "Why did Xi Jun teach me?"
