Two days later, the military rations and beans were prepared, and Zhang Baoyang was escorted on the road, accompanied by Huo Aji.

Because the people of Huoaji are good at walking mountain roads, with their help, the road will be easier.

Wei County is now considered the rear, and the only threat to Meng Shu is that he has his own people around him, so there is no need to leave too many people in Wei County to guard it.

After talking to Guan Xing, Feng Yong felt that his attitude towards himself had changed significantly.

In the past, he guarded himself against thieves, but now when he sees himself staying with Guan Ji, although he will keep a straight face, he will not let Guan Ji be in a dilemma.

Feng Yong stayed in Wei County, in addition to receiving the beans sent from Jincheng, he also had to constantly summarize and analyze the news collected from all sides.

The most important thing is the information about the people in the vicinity of the various counties in the south.

In the wild land of Nanzhong, it is estimated that there are thousands of barbarian commanders.

If there are two or three hundred people in the village under his hands, he can be regarded as the overlord of the mountain.

If there are thousands of people, you can call yourself quite handsome.

As for the kind of thousands of people, that is, King Yi does not explain.

Like Meng Huo, there are 10,000 or 20,000 people who directly rely on the Meng family to eat, let alone indirectly.

Therefore, if you want to really count how many wingmen there are in Nanzhong, it is an impossible task.

There could be a million, or two million or three million, no one can say.

Moreover, two tribes that may be separated by only two mountains sometimes do not even have the same stage of social development.

Some have learned to cultivate and weave cloth from the Han Chinese, while others are still in the primitive stage of human development, and even the custom of cannibalism is still retained.

All Feng Yong had to do now was to count the villages around the Han city, estimate an approximate number, and see how many plantations could be supported.

As for the place a little further away from the city, don't even think about it.

If you don't talk about the miasma of the beast, if you go in, you might be eaten as food.

According to the current situation, the farthest plantation can barely be opened to Wei County, and it is estimated that even the distant Dianchi Lake cannot be opened.

Because even in Wei County now, there are very few Han people.

Coupled with the rebellion, the Han people south of Wei County were almost extinct.

According to historical records, after Zhuge Lao Demon pacified Nanzhong, he would adopt the method of local management of the local area, support a considerable part of the wealthy clans in Nanzhong, indirectly control Nanzhong through them, and at the same time mix sand for these wealthy clans.

will no longer give opportunities like Gao Ding and Meng Huo to dominate in a county.

All Feng Yong had to do was mix the sand more thoroughly.

This work is tedious, collecting, counting, calculating, planning, and so on.

Originally, he wanted to come to a field trip to see the basic situation of Wei County, but he was stopped by Wang Ping, and even Guan Ji resolutely opposed him going out of the city.

There are already few people in the city, and there are no extra people to protect, and it is far from enough to rely on Feng Yong's own parts.

Although Feng Yong felt that they were too cautious, he knew that they were doing it for their own good, so he had to give up in the end.

What happened next quickly proved Wang Ping's prescience.

On the fifth day after Zhang Bao left, a news came from Dianchi that Cao Lukai, the former Yongchang Gong who presented "Pingman's Finger Map" to the Prime Minister, was missing.

Lu Kai was loyal to the desperate domain for more than ten years, and after the rebellion in Nanzhong, he closed the border to resist Yonghong and defend Yongchang, and kept the southernmost border of the Han Dynasty, so the prime minister asked him to return to Jincheng to play the Son of Heaven.

Unexpectedly, on his way back to Jincheng, a place close to Wei County, was robbed.

When the news reached Wei County, it caused quite a stir.

When Feng Yong heard the news, he was taken aback, and then he remembered such a regrettable figure.

When playing the game of Three Kingdoms, "Pingman's Finger Map" is a treasure prop.

Because of this treasure prop, he also paid attention to the introduction of the owner of the treasure in the game.

Lu Kai guarded Yongchang for more than ten years, and in the year when Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he was promoted to Yunnan Taishou, and he was named a marquis, but unfortunately he was directly killed by his bureaucrats before he went to Yunnan to take office.

"General Wang, who is the one who robbed Lu Gongcao? Any clues? ”

Feng Yong hurriedly went to see Wang Ping and asked about the situation.

Wang Ping had a solemn look on his face, and after inviting Feng Yong to sit down, he spoke, "According to the descriptions of the surviving soldiers, the person who took the lead is extremely tall, with an ugly face, and uses a Fang Tian halberd, so I suspect that that person is Eshun." ”

"Eshun?"

Feng Yong suddenly remembered that when he entered the city, the brute who had only the ability to parry Zhang Bao was suppressed.

"Yes, Meng Huo was defeated in the Panjiang River, this person ran away with a part of the remnants, I thought he would go to Muyushui to find Meng Huo, but I didn't expect him to return to Wei County."

Wang Ping's face was slightly ugly, "If it is really this person, it is a little troublesome." ”

He had also fought with E Shun at that time, and knew that this person was extremely skilled in martial arts, and he was not an opponent.

But Guan Junhou has just recovered from his illness now, and his body has not recovered.

Otherwise, if the two join forces, they may be able to take down Eshun.

"Are you sure it was robbed?"

Feng Yong asked.

According to the information collected during these years, those robbers in Nanzhong either robbed money and let people pass, but more often robbed money and killed people and threw corpses, and they had never heard of robbers asking for ransom.

Wang Ping nodded, "It's indeed robbed." Lu Gongcao's entourage, only three of them came back with a message, saying that if they wanted Lu Gongcao to live, let Guan Junhou wait for him in Wei County, and he would come to Guan Junhou. ”

Wang Ping frowned.

This is why he is reluctant to Feng Langjun to go out of the city when there are insufficient troops in the city.

Although most of Nanzhong nominally returned to the control of the Han Dynasty, in fact, what the Han actually controlled was actually the surrounding area centered on the city.

As long as it is far away from the city, it is still the territory of the barbarians.

In the mountains and forests there, there are countless hidden bureaucrats, who do not have much contact with the Han people, do not welcome outsiders, and even attack the lone Han people.

Even before the rebellion, the caravans who traveled between the Five Feet Road had to gather a certain number of people before they could set out.

Not to mention that it's a time of war, and it's normal to be attacked.

It's just that this time the situation is a bit special, because this is the remnants of Eshun with Meng Huo.

That's much more powerful than the mountain people who occasionally make cameos as bandits.

As long as they hide in the mountains and forests and don't take the initiative to show up, there is really no good way to deal with them at present, because there is no way to know their whereabouts.

"It's okay to be robbed, at least I know I'm still alive." Feng Tu Turtle snorted, and then scolded again, "It's really a poor mountain and a bad water!" ”

Wang Ping lowered his eyelids and hid the twitching corners of his eyes, as if he hadn't heard this.

But Guan Xing, who had just stepped in, scolded secretly, this bastard kid can't be a little high-minded? How can you say such things in front of others?

"Guan Junhou is here?"

When Wang Ping saw Guan Xing, he hurriedly got up and greeted.

Guan Xing waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and found a place to sit down, "I asked the three soldiers in the back just now, and it is obvious that this person is specifically looking for me." ”

Feng Yong asked curiously, "Did you kill your parents?" ”

Guan Xing glared at him, "I haven't even seen this person, how do you know which of his parents are?" Besides, fighting on the battle array, which one of the dead people has no father and brother? If so, my enemies will be plentiful. ”

"So the prince doesn't know the origin of this person?"

Guan Xing shook his head.

Wang Ping said beside him, "I know a little bit about this. I heard General Huo Aji say that this person is the first warrior of the Nanzhong Bureaucrats, and he is originally the subordinate of Gao Ding, and he is deeply valued by Gao Ding. ”

But for some reason, when the prime minister pacified Gao Tiding, there was no trace of it. After the defeat of Gaoding, he appeared in Meng Huo's army again. According to an estimate, he should have been sent to Yizhou County by Gao Ding to ask for help at that time. ”

"Later, Gao Ding was defeated too quickly, and Meng Huo didn't have time to rescue, so he also followed Meng Huo back to Yizhou County."

"First Warrior?" Guan Xing raised his eyebrows, "What a big breath." ”

Feng Yong glanced at Guan Xing and said, "Don't believe it, when I entered the city that day, I saw him fighting with Zhang Junhou, although Zhang Junhou couldn't concentrate on the enemy because of his unfavorable military situation at that time, so he took the opportunity to gain the upper hand. ”

"But even if it's a fair match, I'm afraid that Zhang Junhou will be equal to him at most. Junhou is now recovering from a serious illness, and I am afraid that he will not be able to beat him. ”

Although I don't know who has stronger martial arts between Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, I think that even if there is a gap, it will not be too big.

Guan Xing snorted.

Seeing this, Wang Ping hurriedly diverted the topic, "Although the remnants of the army led by Eshun can't attack the city, but let him wander outside, I'm afraid it's also troublesome, we have to find a way to remove this hidden danger." ”

"If he really came to me, then he wouldn't have to bother."

Guan Xing shook his head and said, "Just let people spread it, just say that I am in Wei County, presumably he will definitely come over directly." ”

"And then? He's going to settle accounts with you, and you're going to go out of the city to fight him so straightforwardly? ”

"The second brother's body has not fully recovered, so naturally he can't go out."

A voice came from the door, and I saw Guan Ji, who was dressed as a man, walk in, "If he really wants to find the second brother, the little sister will deal with it." ”

"No! How can you be a woman? ”

Feng Yong was the first to object.

That's a character who is inseparable from Zhang Bao! Feng Tu Turtle was reluctant to take the risk of Guan Ji.

Guan Ji smiled slightly, and learned from the man to hug his fists, "Guan Sanlang Guan Suo, I have seen Feng Langjun." ”

"it!"

Feng Tu was dumbfounded, "What did you say?" ”
