Secretary Zhang and Feng Jianshi briefly talked about countermeasures, then patted their buttocks and continued to run to grab toys with Feng Shuangshuang.

Today is the day off, no one wants to ask the old lady to work overtime!

Even if Feng has no conscience, he can't do it!

Anyway, as one of the few rich women in the Han Dynasty, the little lady of the Zhang family can't look down on the little bit of Liangzhou Thorn Mansion.

Of course, there is a reason why Secretary Zhang is so sluggish.

After all, now not only Liangzhou, but even the Han Dynasty has a bit of a quiet time.

Feng Tingshi was in charge of Liangzhou, and the secretariat had already formulated the general direction of governance for Liangzhou.

The first is to take advantage of Liangzhou's unique geographical environment, coupled with the breeding technology accumulated over the years, to vigorously develop animal husbandry.

The second is to make use of Liangzhou's prolific cattle and horses, combined with the eight-ox plough Quyuan plow, vigorously develop farming, and strive to achieve grain self-sufficiency in the third year of the recovery of Liangzhou, that is, next year.

Sima Laogui wants to be in Guanzhong and Liangzhou Longyou than Tuntian effect, that is, dreaming.

The third is to continue to vigorously promote the examination system.

This year is the second year that Liangzhou has implemented the examination system.

Whether it is a scholar nominated by a large family, or a student who spontaneously came to participate in the examination, in the past year, talents with certain abilities have been preliminarily screened out.

This group of scholars who participated in the examination course gave the way for the latecomers, helped the Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion accumulate experience, and improved the examination system.

Even the flowers, after the snow melted, set off south.

She planned to go to the south in person and get back more seeds that Feng Tingshi wanted.

Everything is going on step by step.

Feng Tingshi, who thought he could be stable for a year, did not expect that someone would soon break his illusions.

"Prince, Prince! Dunhuang Emergency! ”

In the silence of the night, the voice of the female guard outside the door was particularly loud.

Feng Tingshi, who hugged his two beautiful concubines left and right, had just closed his eyes and had not completely fallen asleep.

In a daze, I heard a voice outside, and opened my eyes a little tiredly.

The body that was about to fall asleep was suddenly awakened, which made Feng Tingshi feel a little uncomfortable like a pinprick in the needle.

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yong grunted.

"Man, it was said that there was an urgent report."

Ah Mei woke up the fastest, put on her clothes, and stayed to light the lamp.

Li Mu obviously didn't have as good physical strength as Amei, she was still in a daze, and she hadn't fully woken up.

Under Amei's continuous urging, Li Mu, who was stunned for a while, hurriedly joined hands and helped Feng Tingshi put on clothes.

"You go to sleep first, don't wait for me."

Feng Tingshi yawned before going out and gave an order to his two concubines.

Out of the room, blown by the night wind, Feng Tingshi finally came to his senses:

"What's going on?"

"The Zhang family from Dunhuang came and said that there was an urgent matter to see the prince."

"Zhang's family?"

Feng Yong's gaze froze slightly:

"Let's go."

Under the guidance of the guards, Feng Yong came to the living room in the front yard, and the Zhang family immediately saluted:

"I've seen the prince."

"Up! Tell me, what's going on? ”

"Back to the prince, the head of the family suddenly became critically ill yesterday, so he sent a villain to report the news......"

"Zhang Gong is critically ill?!"

Although he had already guessed in his heart, when he heard this, Feng Yong's face still changed.

Dunhuang is the western gate of Liangzhou, and at the same time it is the only gateway to the Western Regions.

The Zhang family was an important ally in helping Feng Yong maintain the stability of Dunhuang.

More importantly, Zhang Gong is extremely prestigious in the Western Regions, and without Zhang Gong, no one knows what kind of impact it will have on Zhang Gong, who is on his mission to the Western Regions.

"General Zhang, have you been notified?"

The so-called General Zhang, that is, Zhang Gong's younger brother Zhang Hua, is now serving in the cavalry of the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion.

"Back to the prince, it has been notified."

The person said respectfully.

"That's good." Feng Yong nodded, "I'll leave for Dunhuang tomorrow." ”

Seeing the tired look on the other party's face, Feng Yong knew that he had come day and night.

It is precisely because of this that this shows even more that Zhang Gong's current physical condition is probably not good.

Suddenly, it seems that I can't sleep.

Feng Yong arranged for someone to rest, and then went straight to General Guan's place.

As soon as she entered the door, Guan Ji, who got the news, had already come out of the inner room with her clothes on.

Then he and Feng Yong went to the ear room next door, and then asked:

"Ah Lang came over late at night, but what happened?"

"I'm going to Dunhuang tomorrow."

Feng Yong told the story again.

If the Li family in Longxi is a typical family supported by the Han Dynasty, then the Zhang family in Dunhuang is a typical family in Liangzhou.

Let the families inside and outside the Han Dynasty see clearly, and the future path should be taken.

Whether it is respecting Zhang Gong in private, or showing the importance of the Zhang family, Feng Yong must go as soon as possible.

Guan Ji certainly understands the importance of the Zhang family.

It's just that for Feng Yong's decision, she asked with a little hesitation:

"Do you want to talk to Uncle Liao and Siniang tomorrow?"

"No, I don't. Wuwei official road leads directly to Dunhuang, and it is not too far away, and you can contact you in time for anything. ”

"Then let Siniang come over now."

Guan Ji said decisively.

Liao Hua is an elder, so it's not good to disturb him at night, but now that everyone in the house has woken up, there is no reason to let Zhang Xiaosi fall asleep.

Zhang Xingyi was quickly rushed over, with unkempt hair, sleepy eyes, and even yawned when he sat down:

"Sister, it's so late, what are you calling me to do?"

"What does it look like!" When Guan Ji saw her like this, she first reprimanded, "Is it a joke to be seen by others?" ”

"It's so late, and it's in the inner courtyard again, who can see it?"

It was when he was sleeping soundly that he was called up, and Zhang Xiaosi felt as if he had been pumped to the bone.

"There is an emergency in Dunhuang, and your brother-in-law will rush over tomorrow."

"Dunhuang?" Zhang Xingyi finally raised his head and was stunned for a moment, "Zhang family? Or is there any news from the Western Regions? ”

"If you don't say that you have a hard life, it is indeed the Zhang family."

Guan Ji explained, "The Zhang family's family advocate Gong is critically ill, and Dunhuang sent someone over overnight, and your brother-in-law decided to rush over tomorrow." ”

After Zhang Xingyi listened, he subconsciously put his fingers in his mouth and gnawed.

Guan Ji was in person, Feng Yong couldn't say that she had such a stinky problem.

He knocked on the table, "Just to inform you, I'm not in the house, it's still the same as before." Besides, Dunhuang is not far away......"

That's a bit of a shame.

Because from east to west, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang are a string of gourds.

Although it is convenient to travel back and forth, but between the two places, there are two thousand miles apart, which is not far away, so what is far away?

How did Zhang Xingyi not respond to Feng Tingshi's nonsense, and suddenly made an unexpected suggestion:

"Let Liu Hun lead the fine horse to accompany Ah ...... My brother-in-law went with him. ”

Feng Yong and Guan Ji glanced at each other.

"Although this matter is urgent, how can it be so serious? And accompany your brother-in-law with a fine horse? ”

Zhang Xingyi nodded: "It's not serious, but it can't be guarded against." ”

"What do you mean?"

Feng Yong frowned.

"Zhang Gong's famous book Xizhou, Dunhuang Hu people have listened to his orders. If Zhang Gong really has something, not to mention Dunhuang, it is Liangzhou, I am afraid that there will be a shock. ”

"My brother-in-law has been in charge of Liangzhou for a short time, and now although Liangzhou looks stable, who knows if there are any wrongdoers underneath?"

"Let Liu Hun lead a fine cavalry to accompany him, firstly, to protect the safety of his brother-in-law, and more importantly, to deter all forces in Dunhuang and avoid turmoil."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingyi glanced at Feng Yong, and seemed to be exhausted.

Guan Ji noticed Zhang Xiaosi's small movements:

"If you have something to say, just make it clear, there are just three of us here, and there are no outsiders."

"I'm afraid my brother-in-law will be angry." Zhang Xingyi muttered, and then continued, "Zhang Gong's reputation in Dunhuang is too high, and we rarely changed Dunhuang before. ”

"I mean, in case, in case Zhang Gongzhen dies of illness, I can't say that we can strengthen our control over Dunhuang."

The Han Dynasty recovered Liangzhou, and Dunhuang was the Zhang family who took the lead in raising the county to rebel against Wei and return to Han.

In order to avoid criticism, it is said that it is unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the Zhang family has always been very cooperative.

Therefore, Feng Yongyuan's plan was to transform the local forces in Dunhuang step by step according to the practice of Shudi.

With the leader of the Zhang family, it must not take much effort.

How do you know that this is happening now?

Zhang Xiaosi's current appearance is very much in line with the performance of a qualified politician.

People are not dead yet, and they are already thinking about how to maximize their benefits if they die.

Feng Tingshi pondered: "Then let Liu Liang follow along." ”

Liu Hanzi is very good at engaging in Hu people, or one leg.

Especially in Dunhuang, before the Han Dynasty pacified Liangzhou, he stayed for a long time.

As soon as the second day dawned, Zhang Hua was already waiting at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion early.

Feng Yong finished cleaning up, went out, and comforted him a little.

Guarded by their own guards, several people got on their horses and headed out of the city.

The horse's hooves knocked on the street, and the sound of trampling was particularly crisp on the deserted street.

In the camp outside the city, a thousand elite horsemen, under the leadership of Liu Hun, were ready to go overnight.

After receiving the military order to set off, like a red torrent, it rushed out of the gate and rumbled towards the west.

More than two years have passed since the Battle of Xiaoguan.

Under the command of the Liangzhou Assassin's Mansion, although it could not be compared with the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Huqiang Captain's Mansion back then, there was still no way to mobilize the elite division on a large scale.

Especially the ironclad cavalry, Zhao Guang is still running around the world, collecting qualified war horses.

However, the Assassin Mansion dispatched a small elite army at any time, and it was already very easy.

When marching within the territory, you don't have to worry about food and grass, and you don't have to worry about enemy attacks, this time, it will be regarded as a training.

Although the speed is very fast, the journey from Wuwei to Dunhuang is really far enough, and the road is in a hurry, without rest, and it is also very hard.

More than half a month later, Feng Yong and others entered Dunhuang City in the dust, went straight to the gate of Zhang's mansion, and found that there was no white flag, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

When the steward of the Zhang family got the news and hurried out, Feng Yong had already stepped through the door and entered the vestibule, accompanied by Zhang Hua.

"No need to be polite, how is Captain Zhang now?"

Feng Yong waved his hand and asked the Zhang family, who was about to salute.

"Back to the prince, the head of the family has been waiting for the prince to come."

"Lead the way!"

"No."

didn't even have time to clean up the dust on his body, so he rushed directly to see Zhang Gong.

When Feng Yong saw the skin and bones on the couch, about to become a dried corpse patient, he couldn't help blurting out:

"Why did Zhang Gong do this?"

If it was a different place, I was afraid that Feng Yong would no longer recognize Zhang Gong coming.

Zhang Gong's chest only rose and fell slightly, indicating that he still had a breath.

"Brother, brother!"

When Zhang Hua saw Brother Cong's appearance, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted sadly.

Zhang Gong's cloudy eyes, which were sunken in his sockets, rolled, and his shriveled lips moved.

"Brother, what did you say?"

Zhang Hua put his ear to Zhang Gong's mouth to listen.

"I said, get out, please come over!"

Zhang Gong's voice finally got louder, and he scolded Zhang Hua so much that he retreated:

"Prince, brother, please."

Feng Yong hurriedly walked over, bent down, and said softly:

"Zhang Gong, I'm here."

Zhang Gong saw Feng Yong clearly, his eyes lit up, and his voice turned out to be louder:

"Prince, you're finally here......"

"When I got the news from Zhang Gong, I hurried all the way, but fortunately I wasn't late."

Feng Yong sat on the edge of the couch and held Zhang Gong's dry hand, "In winter, I also specially asked about Zhang Gong's situation. ”

"I was very happy to learn that Zhang Gong survived the winter, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

Zhang Gong made a hoarse "hehe" sound in his throat:

"The old man has been lingering on the couch for the past few years, and he is still breathing in the world, it seems that this time, he finally can't get through it!"

"However, in the last two years, it is fortunate to be able to see that Liangzhou is under the governance of the prince, the people are stable, and the Hu people are subjugated."

Hearing this, Feng Yong couldn't help but hold Zhang Gong's hand a little tighter.

This is one of the important reasons why he values the Zhang family.

Compared with other families with no limits, Zhang Gong is a Hanist.

He worked hard to maintain the influence of the Han people in the Western Regions, and at the same time did his best to prevent the Hu people from causing trouble and the rebels from splitting Liangzhou.

"But I hope that Zhang Gong can see the day when the people of the world are stable and the Han Dynasty regains its former prestige......"

"The prince has a heart." Zhang Gong smiled, but there was some fascination in his eyes, "If there is really that day, I just hope that the prince can tell you." ”

"Definitely."

When Zhang Gong heard this, he smiled again, and took a deep breath, as if he was accumulating strength:

"The old man knows that the prince and the marquis have the ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, and his vision will not be limited to the land of Liangzhou, so the prince and the marquis governing Liangzhou is just a temporary measure."

"But Liangzhou is a fertile land, rich in cattle and horses, and if the big Han gets it, the cavalry can flourish. Dunhuang Zhangjia is now a slight name in Xizhou. ”

"It is the wish of the Zhang family to be able to help the prince and marquis. Therefore, before the prince came, he had asked people to sort out the families and tribes that had dealings with the Zhang family. ”

"If you can play a little role in the ruler's governance of Liangzhou, it will not be in vain for the old man to spend this effort."

When Feng Yong heard this, he thought of Zhang Xiaosi's plan again, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath:

"Zhang Gong's intentions will always be remembered in my heart."

One is a demon fox who has become a spirit, and the other is an old fox who has lived for a long time, and there is no fuel-efficient lamp.

Zhang Gong shook his head:

"My brother Hua, although he is a little brave, but he is just a reckless man; My son, although he is slightly talented, but I only hope that he can defend the Zhang family undefeated! ”

Feng Yong knew what he meant, and should admit:

"If Zhang Gongzi has meritorious service in the Western Regions, I would like to recommend him as the chief of the Western Regions."

"As for General Zhang, now that he is in the army, there will always be a day of meritorious service in the future."

The Western Regions are too far away, and its situation is unknown, although Zhang has been an envoy to the Western Regions for more than two years, he has not yet returned, and has been active in the Western Regions.

Not to mention that he can make all the countries of the Western Regions regain their vassal status to the Han Dynasty, as long as he can maintain the Silk Road and provide financial resources for the Han Dynasty, it will be considered meritorious.

Last year, the country of the Western Regions had already sent an envoy over, presumably to inquire about the situation.

It seems that Zhang Zuo's activities have been effective.

Because in the past, the countries of the Western Regions directly sent envoys to Luoyang to pay tribute.

The Western Regions Protectorate does not know that it can only be reset in the Year of the Monkey, and there is hope at present, that is, to set up a Western Regions Governor's Mansion to maintain the status of the Han Dynasty.

After reunification, with this name, the Han Dynasty will have a reason to continue to operate the Western Regions.

After all, since ancient times.

Feng Yong's promise means that Zhang will be covered by him in the future.

Zhang Gong smiled with relief: "The old man has thanked the prince in advance." ”

After talking to Feng Yong, Zhang Gong looked at Zhang Hua, who had been standing next to him.

Feng Yong was inconvenient to listen to the internal affairs of the Zhang family, so he excused himself to go out.

In the room, Zhang Gong explained to Zhang Hua what happened after his death:

"Feng Yong, who leads the army to govern the people, has power and strategy, is rare in the world, and you and Da Lang are far inferior."

"Our Zhang family can only be an alliance with it, not an enemy, and we can't learn from those wealthy families, remember, remember!"

In May of the 11th year of Jianxing, Zhang Gong died.

Feng Yong deliberately stopped in Dunhuang to mourn for Zhang Gong.

At this time, Wu Wei sent a letter.

The letter was sent by the Assassin Shifu, and it was about the joint signature of Ji and Zhang Xiaosi.

After Feng Yong saw it, his eyes were awe-inspiring.

Because there is a suggestion above: request to send troops to live in Yanze in advance and completely stabilize Liangzhou.
