Unlike the inscriptions released by the scholars, Feng Yong knew the details of the group of soldiers under him.

Although they are literate, in the eyes of the scholars, they can't even touch the edge of the humble door, and they are still regarded as the head of the Qian.

But they are indeed different from the Qianshou Cangtou, because they have begun to have a vague sense of self, knowing what they want and how to get it.

At the same time, it will maintain this upward channel autonomously.

Feng Yong only needs to combine what they want with the revival of the Han Dynasty, and let them realize that only by eliminating the Cao thieves can they ensure their current life.

They themselves know what to choose.

When a team has faith, even if the faith is not so high, it is enough to ensure that the team will not degenerate so easily.

Of course, this kind of belief cannot be relied on by Feng Yong alone.

It's up to everyone to say it together.

For example, how many cities and how many cities were slaughtered by Cao thieves before, how much taxes were paid, especially the example of the people of Hanzhong being moved to other places, etc., this is called remembering bittersweet and sweet.

If you talk too much and talk for a long time, it will naturally become a common understanding.

If it weren't for the fact that the students of Nanxiang Academy were too nervous, Feng Yong actually planned to open a martial arts hall in Nanxiang, select some students to enter, and receive military training in advance.

Then it was sent to the army to specialize in ideological work.

The news brought by Zhao Yun disrupted Feng Yong's arrangements in winter, and he had to entrust the matter of Pingxiang to Zhang Wei, and then hurried to Longxi with people.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is necessary to rush to Longxi before the heavy snow arrives, otherwise it will be difficult to march on the road.

Although Zhao Yun couldn't say that he didn't need to bring too many people over, for Feng Yong, who spared his life, without a certain number of soldiers, there was no sense of security.

What's more, for Nanxiang soldiers, this is also an opportunity to practice in winter.

Entering Longxi in November, the cold wind blew on the face, faintly like a knife cut.

Longxi Taishou Chen Shi, Chang Shima, Gongsun Zheng and other major officials, with the officials of Xiangwu City, stood at the gate of the east city of Xiangwu City, ready to welcome the arrival of Feng Yong, the Marquis of Jiequan Pavilion.

Longxi is a newly established place, and at the same time it is adjacent to Liangzhou, Chen Shi was appointed as the Taishou, and he can be regarded as the prime minister.

But compared to Feng Yong, who began to advise the prime minister at the age of sixteen and later made great contributions to the Northern Expedition, Chen Shi thinks that he is not as good as him.

In the ranking of officials in Longyou, although Feng Yong is the fourth on the surface, he is actually the second person with real power.

Chen Shi had never dealt with Feng Yong head-on, but this did not prevent him from hearing Feng Yong's rumors from other people's mouths.

Studied under the masters, was young and ambitious, was in a high position, and had many tigers and wolves under his command, and because of the matter of horses, he was scolded by the prime minister as a general.

Generally speaking, most of these characters are not easy to deal with.

Chen Shi looked to the east, his eyes were a little solemn and worried.

Gongsun Zheng, who was standing behind Chen Shi, had a different mind.

Gongsun Zheng had hidden his identity and followed Longyou's caravan to Nanxiang quietly.

Not to mention anything else, just what he saw and heard in Nanxiang was enough to make him have a strong curiosity about Feng Yong.

In the Battle of Xiangwu a few months ago, the protagonist was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so Gongsun Zheng could only glance at Feng Yong from a distance.

Except for being amazed at his youth, he couldn't even say a word.

This time, Feng Yong led the army over, but he was able to observe it up close.

From a distance, I saw a cavalry galloping over, it was the sentry who delivered the news.

"Report! Captain Huqiang is less than three miles away from Xiangwu. ”

The sentry's face is shiny, which is the mutton fat that is applied to prevent it from freezing and cracking.

"Okay, it's finally here."

Chen Shi let the sentry ride down to rest, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and after a while, he saw that a dark shadow began to appear in front of him.

It is very difficult to travel in winter, especially on the face with glycerin, probably because of the psychological effect, I always feel sticky on my face, and it is not very comfortable.

The down jacket has no zipper, and when you ride on a horse, the cold wind always pours into the gaps.

Fortunately, there are leather gloves sewn by Amei, so that the hands will not be offended.

Looking at the black and oppressive officials at the gate of Xiangwu City, Feng Yong clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse ran two steps quickly, turning over and dismounting in front of everyone.

Before he could speak, Chen Shi, who had only met but had never dealt with him, stepped forward, "Chen Shi has seen Junhou. ”

Feng Yong laughed, "Chen Taishou should not be polite." ”

Saying that, he stomped his foot, "It's really uneasy to let everyone wait outside on such a cold day." ”

"The prince is hard, and he has to lead the army to come in the cold winter, and he is afraid of suffering a lot of sins along the way. Shi has prepared hot food and soup to warm the body of the soldiers. ”

Chen Shi looked at the entourage and guards behind Feng Yong, and saw that everyone was wearing sheepskin hats with strange styles, along with ears protected, wrapped in sheepcoats, and long boots on their feet.

When you look at it, you know it's very warm.

Especially those personal guards, the clothes on their bodies are exactly the same, and it seems that they are uniformly customized in the army of the Qiang Guard.

This made Chen Shi secretly speechless, although the style of this kind of clothing looks a little strange, but at a glance, he knows that it is not an ordinary thing, and it is produced by Nanxiang Workshop.

This kind of clothing that can only be used by wealthy people, Feng Junhou actually used it to distribute it to the guards, and he was generous.

However, these guards did not seem to be tired of a long journey, but were full of energy and stood neatly behind.

Although he was silent, he didn't even have much expression on his face, and he might still look a little dumb and indifferent.

But Chen Shi, who has been in the army for a long time, knows at a glance that this is the favorite soldier of all the generals in the army.

This kind of soldier, after strict training, is extremely obedient, and at the same time has been on the battlefield, not afraid of swords and guns, the general gives an order, turns to the conflict, and rarely retreats.

He thought so in his heart, and said to Feng Yong, "The prince has come from afar, why don't you go into the city to rest first?" ”

Feng Yong waved his hand and said, "Gentlemen, please first, I'll wait for a while." ”

As he spoke, he turned and looked back.

If he didn't move, the officials in Longxi could only continue to wait.

Many people looked in the direction Feng Yong was looking.

Only then did I find that after a while, in the open space not far away, the soldiers brought by Feng Junhou had already begun to line up.

The unique password of Nanxiang soldiers came from time to time, and even Chen Shi couldn't understand what kind of military order it was.

They only felt that every time a team gave an order, there would always be a sergeant who would respond loudly, and then they would be able to quickly form a column.

The 1,000 soldiers brought over by Feng Yong this time did not have a Modao team.

Five hundred men carried spears, a pair of bows, three strings, and thirty arrows.

Five hundred men were armed with swords, a pair of crossbows, three strings, and thirty arrows.

Each man wore leather armor and carried a bag of dry food.

At the same time, there were two hundred auxiliaries, as well as some medical workers who accompanied the army.

A thousand people, say more or less, say less and no less.

In less than a moment, a neat phalanx appeared in front of everyone.

No one spoke, not even coughing.

Only the breath they exhaled was white and diffused.

"I have heard for a long time that Feng Junhou has a good way of governing the army, leading his subordinate sergeants, and fighting with the elite led by the famous general Cao Thief in the street pavilion, which really makes sense."

Watching Feng Yong walk towards the phalanx, Gongsun Zheng whispered to the horse.

Ma nodded, "Although it is not yet cold, but in this weather, rushing here from Pingxiang can still list such a neat military formation in such a short time, Zhang is not unjustly defeated." ”

When Chen Shi heard the conversation between the two, he was honored in his heart and interjected, "What is this?" I heard that the Nanxiang soldiers led by General Feng are very good at attacking. ”

"At the beginning of the military training, the prince and the marquis had asked the soldiers to rush to Jincheng from Nanxiang within half a month, and then they rushed all the way to win the battle of Longguan."

"I heard that the army of the prince requires that the soldiers must travel at least sixty miles a day when they are fully armed."

"This time from Pingxiang to Xiangwu, according to a certain estimate, that is, a normal march of forty miles a day, for the soldiers led by Feng Junhou, it is the simplest."

Hearing Chen Shi's words, Gongsun Zheng and Ma couldn't help but look at each other in horror.

Ma Zhibing couldn't help but ask at the moment, "Taishou, in this way, aren't the soldiers very tired?" ”

It makes sense to travel forty miles a day.

The first is to avoid overwork of the soldiers, and the second is to be able to quickly form an army when encountering the enemy.

Chen Shi smiled bitterly, "The prince treats the soldiers very kindly, and the whole Han dares to ask the soldiers like this." ”

Although the words are not clear, the meaning is clear.

Don't say anything else, just talk about the clothes of those soldiers, and you can understand how generous Feng Junhou treats the soldiers.

Gongsun Zheng and Ma Zai remembered that they had formed a phalanx in a very short time, and they were silent.

Feng Yong finished speaking to the soldiers, then walked back, and said apologetically, "Let you wait for a long time." ”

Originally, some people thought that Feng Yong brought the maid (Amei) over, and thought that this young man was a little too enjoyable.

At this time, seeing the morale of the soldiers not far away, no one dared to despise it again.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of moments. However, the prince and the marquis have a good way of governing the army, and all the tigers and wolves under his command have opened their eyes. ”

Chen Shi complimented.

Feng Yongyou was self-aware, shook his head and said, "Facing the enemy in battle and arranging troops is not Feng's forte, so it can only be done more in governing the army." ”

He was telling the truth, but in the ears of Chen Shi and the others, they felt that this young prince was so modest, and he was not as frivolous as he was young.

Not to mention anything like getting carried away or having a very high opinion of yourself, it's really rare.

Several people couldn't help but have more respect in their hearts.

Especially Chen Shi, he knows that Ma Tan is because he is valued by the prime minister, thinks very highly of himself, is stubborn and self-serving, and can't listen to the admonitions of others, so there will be the defeat of the street pavilion.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous idea that Feng Yong was not easy to deal with.

"Prince, please."

"Okay, please, all of you."

Everyone embraced Feng Yong into the city.

The banquet had already been set up in the Taishou Mansion, although it was not as fine as Feng Yong's usual food, but it was rich.

These days, I was in a hurry in cold weather, and when I saw these steaming foods, Feng Yong was not polite.

For a time, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

When you have a full meal, remove the scraps and let the unrelated personnel retreat.

Feng Yong took a sip of hot soup before he spoke, "Chen Taishou, I got the news of Old General Zhao this time. I heard that there was an abnormality in Qianghu in Longxi, so I hurried over. ”

"I know that Liangzhou, Longyou, and even Guanzhong, over the years, Qiang has been in turmoil, repeated chaos, and repeated rebellions, I don't know if you can tell me, what is going on?"

If you want to govern Liangzhou, Longyou, and even Guanzhong, you can't avoid an extremely serious issue.

That was the Qianghu Rebellion.

Liangzhou Qiang chaos is like maggots attached to the bones, which gave the Eastern Han court a headache throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Feng Yong knew a rough idea of this situation, but the specific process was not very clear.

After all, the situation in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, except for Zhuge Old Demon's Northern Expedition, he didn't know much about the rest unless it was a big event or a more famous person.

What's more, it's still the Qianghu Rebellion that belongs to the cold knowledge of the Three Kingdoms?

But now, as the captain of the Qiang Guard, he has to face this problem, and he can't be sloppy at all.

Some time ago, there was a shortage of food, and he only cared about appeasing Longyou Qianghu, and then he had to arrange various tasks in Pingxiang, and he never had the opportunity to understand the situation of Liangzhou Qianghu.

So this time, taking advantage of the Qianghu changes in Longxi, it is a good opportunity to find out.

Because of the leadership of the prime minister, the officialdom atmosphere is good, and Feng Yong's style of entering the work state immediately after eating is also in line with the trend.

Chen Shi heard Feng Yong's question and looked at Gongsun Zheng, "Junhou, Gongsun is a local person who joined the army, and he knows a lot about Qianghu, why don't you let Gongsun join the army?" ”

Chen Shicai had only been the Taishou of Longxi for a few months, and Feng Yong did not embarrass him, and nodded immediately.

Gongsun asked for permission, and then he spoke, "Back to the prince, the matter of the Qiang chaos in Longxi is a long story and a bit cumbersome, and I hope that the prince and the prince will not be suspicious of the officials." ”

"It's okay, I'm here this time to solve this matter, you can tell me in detail, the more detailed the better."

Feng Yong gestured.

"No. Speaking of the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion, we have to start from the fourth year of Guanghe at the latest, which has been twenty-five years ago. ”

"At that time, Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, and Longxi County each had a chaotic situation."

"Later, the Han Dynasty sent a group of Huangzhong Yi from Hu soldiers to quell the rebellion, but when this Yi arrived at Lingju from Hu Bing, he actually killed the captain of the leading army, along with ......"

"Ahem, he was also killed along with the captain of Huqiang at the time. The rebellions of the four counties of Longxi, Jincheng, Anding, and Beidi were also merged into one because of the rebellion of the righteous Conghu soldiers. ”

When Gongsun Zheng said this, he glanced at Feng Yong.

Feng Yong opened his mouth and asked, "I know that the Han Dynasty has always had the habit of recruiting Qiang Hu as a righteous Hu soldier and working together to defend the frontier. It's just that why this righteous army of Hu soldiers will participate in the rebellion, do you know? ”

"I know." Gongsun Zheng nodded, "Because Zuochang, the assassin of Liangzhou at that time, embezzled military salaries. ”

"The lieutenants who protect the Qiang and the generals who lead the army are all like this, and they are too deductible from the Hu soldiers for righteousness, and they are too evil to treat the Hu soldiers on weekdays......"

Chen Shi coughed lightly.

Gongsun Zheng suddenly woke up and hurriedly added, "The most important thing is that Hu has a bad personality and doesn't know etiquette and ......."

Feng Yong raised his hand to stop, "You go on." ”

"No. At that time, the area of the Great River (Yellow River) from Liangzhou to Guanzhong was controlled by Qianghu, and its leaders were Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, the generals of the Yuan Yi Conghu army. ”

"The rebels not only killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng at that time, but also captured Xin'an County Lingbian Zhang and Liangzhou engaged in Han Sui, and finally persuaded them to join the rebellion."

"So Qianghu became more and more powerful, and defeated Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang and Song Zhen, Qiang Captain Xia Yu and Hanyang County Magistrate Shi Gaixun."

"Later, although he was defeated by Zhang Wen, the general of the cavalry sent by the Han Dynasty, he quickly regained his momentum."

At the same time, he defeated Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen and others who were chasing after him. Fortunately, not long after, the rebel leader Bian Zhang died of illness, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou died in internal strife, and only Han Sui remained. ”

"At this time, the Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng sent by the Han Dynasty felt that there was an opportunity, and he wanted to be greedy for merit, and wanted to quell the chaos without reinforcements."

"It's just that he appointed the corrupt official Cheng Qiu as the ruler, which made the Liangzhou officials feel cold, and they ignored the hearts of the Liangzhou officials and did cruel acts."

"When Longxi was too guarded by Li Xiangru to rebel, Longxi was owned by the rebels, Geng despised Fu Xie's good words, and had to lead the army in person."

"Geng Contempt was unpopular, and when Di Dao arrived, the army mutinied, and Geng Contempt and Cheng Qiu were both killed."

"The mutineer leader of the kingdom led the army to attack Hanyang County, and Hanyang was too guarded by Fu Xie, who treated the people well and respected him from afar."

"At that time, there were thousands of Hun cavalry from Beidi County outside the city, and they kowtowed outside the city together, asking Fu Xie to go out of the city and surrender, and were willing to escort Fu Xie back to his hometown Beidi County safely."

The kingdom sent the former Jiuquan Taishou Huang Yan into the city to persuade him to surrender, Fu Xie reprimanded Huang Yan, and then led the only few troops in Hanyang County to fight, and finally died on the battlefield. After this incident, there were no rebels in Liangzhou. ”

"Geng's subordinate army Sima Ma Teng led his headquarters to join Han Sui and jointly promoted the kingdom as the commander. At this point, the entire Liangzhou finally fell into the hands of the rebels. ”

"Later, the rebels besieged Chencang again, and were defeated by the left general Huangfu Song, and finally the rebels were divided into three parts, one was Han Sui in Jincheng, the second was Ma Teng in Weigu, and the third was Song Jian in Longxihan."

"Song Jian proclaimed himself the king of Heshou Ping Han, occupied the west of Longxi for 30 years, and although it was broken by the Great Wei, uh, by Cao thief Xiahou Yuan, but the Qiang chaos in the west of Longxi can no longer be stopped."

Until the Cao thief usurped the rebellion, not only did he not restore the governance of the west of Longxi, but moved the governance office to Xiangwu. Except for Di Dao and Shouyang, because there are cities that can barely be defended, the other places have become the land of Hu people and horses. ”

Feng Yong was silent after listening to Gongsun Zhengliangzhou's Qiang Rebellion, and only after a long time did he ask, "What about Di Dao and Shouyang today?" ”

Gongsun Zheng hurriedly said, "This Qianghu movement is related to Di Dao. This year's drought in Liangzhou, Qianghu have poured into Longxi, drinking water in the big river, Taoshui. ”

"In the area of Hexi, there was originally General Hao Zhao, uh, that Cao thief Hao Zhao, who has been guarding Hexi for more than ten years, and Qiang Hu is more convinced, because from Di Dao you can pass through Liangzhou, so Longxi Qiang Hu generally will not attack Di Dao."

"Only this time," Gongsun Zheng glanced at Feng Yong when he said this, "After Hao Zhao was defeated by the prime minister, he could only defend Hexi, but he was no longer able to manage Di Dao." ”

"Coupled with the great drought, Qiang Hu wanted to find food in winter, so he surrounded Di Dao, and at the same time, there were even bold people who looted around Shouyang."

Shouyang County is located at the source of the Wei River, and it is easy to reach Shouyang from Xiangwu along the Wei River.

Feng Yong listened and muttered, "Shouyang doesn't matter, I can personally lead the troops when the time comes." It's just that this Di Dao ......"

Di Dao is a little far away from Xiangwu.

At the same time, it is relatively close to Jincheng County in Liangzhou.

And it stands to reason that it was under the control of Cao Wei, because Hao Zhao fled back to Liangzhou from Di Dao at that time, and the Han Dynasty did not have any extra troops to send to Di Dao at that time.
