Feng Yong entered the temporary marshal's mansion three times in a row in two days, and he was already familiar with the road.

Entering the guest hall and seeing Zhuge Liang sitting above, Feng Yong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the prime minister forever." ”

"No need to be polite."

Zhuge Liang's face was indifferent.

Jiang Wan, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on his face, and bowed his head slightly to Feng Yong, which could be regarded as a greeting.

When he went to Hanzhong, he lived in Nanxiang for more than a month, and the two were acquaintances.

There was also a middle-aged Confucian scholar who I didn't know, who was looking at him with curiosity.

"This is Li Lebang of Yongzhou, who abandoned thieves from the north and surrendered to Ming. Lebang, this is the Feng Langjun you just said you wanted to meet. ”

Zhuge Liang personally introduced the two of them.

I saw Li Hong standing up and bowing his hand, "I have heard the name of Feng Langjun for a long time, and I can see it today, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

Feng Yong didn't expect the other party's posture to be so low, and hurriedly returned the salute.

"Sit down, you two will be colleagues in the future, why be so polite?"

Zhuge Liang said next to him.

After Feng Yong and Fei Shi sat down, Li Hong said with a look of appreciation and admiration, "When Hong came from Guanzhong, when he passed through Xincheng, he stayed there for some time with Meng Da. ”

"It happened that Wang Chong, who rebelled against the Han and was a thief, was also there. Listening to Wang Chong, there is a young man in the Han Dynasty, who has a very clever mind: making a quyuan plow, offering a peaceful southern policy, and Xinghan is on a par with the puppet king Cao Zhi. ”

"There are "Shu Dao Difficult", "Long Dry Travel", "Qingping Le" and other articles, its text is elegant and chic, awe-inspiring with the wind of immortals outside the sky, not the world can do it, at that time I thought that Wang Chong's words were too much."

"After hearing Feng Langjun's three articles, it was really like drinking old wine, drunk and not waking up, and he was reluctant to let go of it all day long."

As he spoke, Li Hong shook his head for a while, and seemed to be unable to help but recall the three articles.

Feng Yong didn't expect Li Hong to be a big fart as soon as he came up, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said modestly, "Li Jun has won the award." ”

"Otherwise, three years ago, Cao Zhi passed through Luoshui and wrote "Luo Shen Fu", whose rhetoric is gorgeous and emotional, and it was spread all over the gas at that time, all of which belonged to pseudo-Wei, which is an orthodox image."

"If Feng Langjun's article spreads to the pseudo-Wei, I don't know what the faces of those people are?"

Li Hong was very good at talking, not only praised Feng Yong, but even Zhuge Liang had a smile on his face when he heard these words.

Where the world gathers the thief?

It's really the biggest joke, as long as there are these articles of this kid, who dares to say that the world is not in the big man?

The Han Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world.

It was Feng Yong, who remembered Li Hong's words just now, and couldn't help asking, "Listen to what Li Jun said, that Wang Chong threw himself into a thief, and also said about Qu Yuan plow?" ”

"Yes, not only did I say it, but I also wanted to take this quyuan plough as a meritorious achievement."

Li Hong nodded.

Feng Yong looked at Zhuge Liang and thought to himself that it seemed that this Quyuan plough was finally going to spread to Cao Wei.

Zhuge Liang knew what he meant, shook his head lightly and said, "Since this thing is used by the people, it is inevitable that it will be passed on to Cao Thief, just look at it early and late, otherwise why let Zhang Wen plough back to Dongwu last year?" ”

It seems that Zhuge Liang has been mentally prepared for this.

The statement that Cao Wei's national strength is ten times that of Shu may be an exaggeration, but it is said that it is five or six times, which is more than enough.

Quyuan plough is in Cao Wei's hands, and its role is only much greater than that of the Han Dynasty.

Fortunately, the eight-ox plough is complicated to build, and it is made by the imperial court, and ordinary people really can't afford this, so Wang Chong didn't talk about the eight-ox plow, and it seems that he doesn't know the practice of the eight-ox plow.

Everyone in Shu has an agreement with Zhuge Lao Demon that every eight ox plough has a record, and it must not be lost for no reason, otherwise it will be regarded as a collaborator.

In terms of the size and weight of that thing, if someone wanted to take the eight-ox plough out through Hanzhong, it would be as difficult as Deng Ai to smuggle through Yinping.

Even Huang Yueying, who was an expert, didn't understand anything about the drawings given by Feng Yong at that time.

What's more, there are no drawings, and it is even more difficult to guess the structure of the finished eight-ox plough just by relying on the finished eight-ox plow.

Of course, difficulties are difficulties, but as long as there is a heart, there is always a way, didn't Yin Ping also succeed in being smuggled by Deng Ai?

But this at least delayed Cao Wei's production of the eight-ox plow.

Therefore, we still have to hurry up the Northern Expedition!

Without the Northern Expedition, Cao Wei would only throw the Han farther and farther away.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three families have no strength and want to catch their breath, it is much easier to go on the Northern Expedition than to wait for everyone to regain their strength.

Cao Wei occupies the most elite region in the world, and the speed of recovery is simply terrifying compared to the Great Han.

Feng Yong's lips moved, what he thought of when he came was that the old demon Zhuge had just finished pacifying Nanzhong, could it be that he had already started to prepare for the Northern Expedition?

After all, the people from the north are related to themselves, and at present, only the Liang family in Liangzhou - and the strategic goal of Zhuge Old Demon's first Northern Expedition is Liangzhou.

However, this matter can only be put in mind for the time being.

Zhuge Old Demon himself didn't mention the Northern Expedition, so he couldn't say it in public.

"Li Jun brought a message from the north."

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said, "The king rushed to Meng Da and said some slander. He said that because I hated Meng Da's rebellion, I was deeply gnashed my teeth, and I wanted to punish Meng Da's wife and children left in Shu, but fortunately, the ancestor did not listen to me. ”

When he said this, Zhuge Liang showed a sneer in his eyes.

"How do I know that Meng Da said that I see that Gu has the end, and I will not do what a villain does."

See Gu You's roots?

Feng Yong chewed the meaning of this carefully, didn't this mean that Meng Da was praising Zhuge Liang?

Thinking of this, Feng Yong raised his head suddenly, "Meng Da, this is ...... Showing your heart to the prime minister? ”

Seeing the expressions of appreciation in the eyes of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan at the same time, Feng Yong was even more sure in his heart.

can't be wrong, Meng Da first rebelled against the Han and returned to Wei, and then rebelled against Wei and returned to the Han, which is really capricious.

There are countless debates about the comparison between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi in later generations, how can Feng Yong not know?

Sima Yi led an army of 1,200 miles to quell the Mengda Rebellion, and set Liaodong in one year as planned, which is a proof of the military ability that later generations of Sima fans talked about.

Then he tried his best to belittle Zhuge Old Demon's military ability, saying that the Northern Expedition was futile.

As for King Sima Xuan's first fight with Zhuge Old Demon, he was beaten to the ground, and then he was so frightened that he would rather be a woman than shrink back, and he was ridiculed and feared like a tiger, and he insisted that the failure of the Northern Expedition was military incompetence.

It was also said that it was for the sake of strategy.

The great advantage of national strength several times that of others is still in the territory of one's own country, occupying the right time and place, and the enemy has rushed to the house, and it is even necessary to use the strategy that cannot be retracted......

If you really want to switch the positions of the two, King Sima Xuan dares to go out of Hanzhong?

Didn't you know that you couldn't fight face-to-face, so you used such a strategy?

Feng Yong complained in his heart.

It's just that the only thing he didn't expect was that Meng Da already wanted to return to Han at this time.

Li Hong on the side was even more surprised, this Feng Langjun was really clever, and he could guess what Meng Da meant just by just a few words from the prime minister.

"The prime minister wants to communicate with Meng Da?"

Encouraged by Zhuge Liang's eyes, Feng Yong asked again.

Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan looked at each other, and they both laughed.

Li Hong sighed.

Only Fei Shi snorted coldly at an inopportune time, and said loudly, "Prime Minister, Meng Da boy, in the past, he was first disloyal to Liu Jiyu, and then he made Guan Junhou fall to death but did not save him, and then betrayed the ancestors. ”

The scene suddenly cooled down.

Feng Yong sighed secretly and looked at Fei Shi, thinking that this was the truth, but since ancient times, loyalty has been contrary to the ear.

What's more, if you say it in this situation, what else can you do besides embarrassing people?

No wonder you're just engaged in Yongchang County now.

Sure enough, I saw Zhuge Liang above silent, but he didn't mention the matter again, and it seemed that he had already made a decision in his heart.

Li Hong was embarrassed.

Jiang Wan smiled reluctantly, stood up and said, "Gongju, Yongbang, I have something to tell you, and come with me." ”

After the three of them went out, Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Yong and asked, "You have been in Nanxiang for a long time, Nanxiang is not far from the Han River, which is the new city where Meng Da is located, have you ever explored this waterway?" ”

It seems that he still has to communicate with Meng Da.

Feng Yong's attitude towards Zhuge Liang was also expected, Jiang Wan was a person who understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and pulling Fei Shi out could avoid his embarrassment.

At the same time, it also avoided the newly descended Li Hong from hearing too many secrets.

"Back to Prime Minister, this matter has naturally been considered by Yong."

At the beginning of the ranch and Maofang workshop in Nanxiang County, Feng Yong of course considered the threat of Meng Da downstream.

But from Xincheng to Hanzhong, it is against the current, how many difficulties are there?

Cao Zhen later sent Sima Yi to do this, but Sima Yi was unable to walk around Hanzhong until his death.

Not to mention political opportunists like Mengda? He dared to give Cao Wei such a hard time?

Of course, there are no absolutes, there are always just in case.

Therefore, Nanxiang County naturally investigated this waterway leading to the land of Cao Wei, and the person who investigated it was Huang Chong, the county governor of Nanxiang County.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the military in the county.

"At that time, it was Huang Chong who investigated Hanshui in Nanxiang County, he had asked the local villagers many times, and he had personally explored the waterway, if the prime minister wanted to know the details, he could be invited to ask."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he glanced at Feng Yong with some surprise, "Have you really specifically inquired about this waterway?" ”

Feng Yong smiled, "This matter was brought up by Huang Chong, although he is young, he does have a military strategy." ”

Hearing Feng Yong's mention, Zhuge Liang remembered Ma Yan's congregation of Han: since Feng Yong left Hanzhong with some people, Huang Chong trained soldiers in Nanxiang County, which was quite disciplined.

I heard that Huang Chong also led people to pick up dangerous places on the edge of the Han River and build a dock fort that could garrison 100 people.

Huang Chong explained that it was to prevent the sudden attack of the Cao thieves in the new city, and stationed troops in dangerous places, not only to detect and warn early, but also to guard the dangerous places and prevent them from going ashore.

It can be.

Feng Yongyan has a military strategy in his belly, and the result is not in vain.

Thinking of Zhao Guangxiao's bravery, Wang Xun's cautiousness, Li Yi's ingenuity, and the Wang Ping and Liu Yin recommended by him, all of whom made great contributions in this campaign to pacify Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but take a deep look at Feng Yong.

"Cheng really wants to communicate with that Mengda?"

Feng Yongzhong couldn't help but ask.

"What? Do you have objections? ”

Zhuge Liang asked.

Feng Yong shook his head, "Meng Danai is a repeated villain, Fei Zhen is right. But villains also have the usefulness of villains, and the prime minister once said that the Northern Expedition needs to wait for changes in the north. ”

"If Meng Da's rebellion is big enough to cause trouble to the Cao thief, that's the best. Even if it doesn't work, there is no loss with Dahan. So why not do a letter with a gesture? ”

Zhuge Liang's face was relieved, and he sighed and smiled, "He is upright and upright, he should be a gentleman, but he doesn't know how to be flexible, if he can be like you, why is he depressed?" ”

Speaking of Fei Shi, Feng Yong asked with some curiosity, "Prime Minister, I remember Fei Gong...... Wasn't Gongju sent by the first emperor a few years ago to Jingzhou to confer a knighthood on the Marquis of Guanjun? Why has it fallen to the point where Yongchang County is engaged now? ”

Thinking of Fei Shi taking such a word, Feng Yong always felt a little speechless.

Public Lifting?

Lift high?

"What's your business?"

Zhuge Liang didn't want to say more, "It's okay, don't ask this." ”

Then remembered that Feng Yong had just mentioned the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang immediately looked at him with some vigilance, "Who told you about the Northern Expedition?" ”

"I thought of it myself."

Feng Yong's face was calm.

"The prime minister's Longzhong is right, and he will always be memorized. The prime minister must personally lead the army to the south, one is to appease the south, and the other is to train the troops, right? ”

"Now that the south has been decided, the soldiers have been trained, and there is no shortage of food for the Han Dynasty, it depends on when the armor will be sufficient. Therefore, Pu Yuan went to find a place to produce good iron, and this is also the prime minister who is worried about the Northern Expedition, right? Coupled with the bellows coming out, Dahan will be able to have good iron. ”

Speaking of the Northern Expedition, Feng Yong felt a little agitated, and couldn't help but say, "The first emperor was deeply worried that the Han and the thieves were not separated, and the royal industry was not partial. ”

"In order to live up to the trust of the first emperor, the prime minister crossed Lu in May, went deep into the barren, and eclips, not without regret, but because Gu Wangye could not be partial to Shudu, so he risked the danger to serve the will of the first emperor."

Zhuge Liang heard Feng Yong's words, stood up suddenly, and said excitedly, "Well said! It's really in my heart! I led my army south, and Wang Lian persuaded me for a long time, but I did not know what I was thinking in my heart. ”

Zhuge Liang's peach blossom eyes flashed with extremely bright brilliance, and he looked at Feng Yong and said, "I didn't expect that the person who knows me best in the world is actually you kid!" ”

it!

You say it, praise praise, and when it comes to halfway, there is another kid, what does it mean?

Do you scold me or praise me?

Feng Yongda was dissatisfied.

Zhuge Liang didn't notice Feng Tuqiu's thoughts.

He didn't seem to be able to hold back his excitement, stood up and walked back and forth, and the feelings that he had suppressed in his heart for several years and couldn't tell others about it were broken by Feng Yong at this time, and he also said that he was in his heart, which really made him regard Feng Yong as a confidant all of a sudden.

Feng Tu Turtle rarely saw Zhuge Old Demon like this, and he was very proud in his heart.

I thought that most of those words were said in "The Later Teacher's Table", no matter how true or false the text was, but it must be your heart.

Thinking of the malicious smears and conjectures of the sunspots in later generations, he sighed in his heart, the people of later generations are proud of their lack of discipline, but they think that the ancients also have no discipline, which is really shameful.

"Tell me, if it's a Northern Expedition, how to march into the army?"

Zhuge Liang was in a difficult mood, and he actually opened his mouth to ask Feng Yong about such national plans.

When Feng Yong heard this, he fell silent for a while, but he was a little depressed in his heart.

Yes, how can the Northern Expedition succeed?

In later generations, whether it was black or powdery, most of them were pessimistic about the Northern Expedition.

Even if it is the most optimistic, it can only occupy the right side of Longxi at most.

According to Tongguan, Yongzhou is occupied...... Stop dreaming!

Zhuge Liang saw that Feng Yong didn't speak, his face showed a slight disappointment, thinking that he was still young after all, and it was already rare to think of the Northern Expedition, how could I force him to think about such a big thing?

Just as he was comforting himself, Feng Yong unexpectedly spoke, "Prime Minister, the matter of the Northern Expedition, I will always think about it!" With the national strength of the Han Dynasty, compared with Cao Wei, it can be said that I am weak and strong. Therefore, the Northern Expedition can only be cautious and not careless. ”

"Well said, keep talking!"

Zhuge Liang didn't expect Feng Yong to really think about this problem.

Feng Yong looked up at Zhuge Liang and said, "From Hanzhong to kill thieves, there are five roads, from east to west, which are Meridian Road, Fu Luo Road, Bao Slope Road, Chen Cang Road, and finally go out of Qi Mountain. ”

"The meridian road is the closest, but it is the most sinister, and the army cannot pass through, so at most it can only go to the division, not the army. The several high ridges that need to be crossed on the way to Fu Luo Road are not easy to march, so the army cannot walk. ”

"The only thing left is Bao Chuan Road, Chen Cang Road. Back then, the Marquis of Huaiyin repaired the plank road and secretly crossed Chencang, which is said to be these two ways. The slope is the easiest to walk, and it can lead to the army, but if you go out of this way, you will inevitably encounter the army of Cao thieves. ”

"If the prime minister wants to fight a decisive battle with Cao Wei's army, this is the most suitable way."

"Nope." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "You also said just now, I am weak and the enemy is strong, if I can use tactics to destroy the enemy and avoid hard fighting, it is the best." This is only a last resort. ”

Feng Yong nodded.

That's right, Shu is weak and Wei is strong, and hard work is the next policy.

"At the exit of Chencang Road, there is Chencang City, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open. The army can't be used again, and the enemy army only needs a few thousand defenders, which is enough to block the army of 100,000, which is difficult! ”

"Then you can only go to Qishan."

Zhuge Liang knew what he meant.

"Qishan Road is far away, Guanzhong is a flat place, the big Han has many foot soldiers, and the Cao thieves have many cavalry, but I am afraid that the speed will be disadvantaged." 8)
