Chapter 172: Overview
"The two brothers are capable people, why don't you join the army and make a career?"
After chatting for a while, the basic information was almost understood, and after the politeness was finished, Sima Yu went straight to the point, looked at the two brothers and wondered, this is also the reason why Sima Yu did not dare to visit rashly with a proper name.
According to the news sent by Gu Changfeng to find out, the brothers Feng Guoyong and Feng Sheng have been in Shilong Village for nearly two years, and they have a good ability, but they have never been outstanding.
Before finding out the specific reason, Sima Yu did not dare to be reckless.
"Brother Ma Yu, I can't hide it, it's not that my brothers don't want to join the army, it's really because of the ignorance of the lord of Jinzhou, and the sister is young, so she doesn't dare to travel rashly!"
As soon as Sima Yu's words fell, the hall fell into silence, Feng Guo's eyes lit up, and after a pause, he said slowly, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Sima Yu with burning eyes.
At this time, the two brothers naturally understood that Sima Yu might have come this time to seek talent.
"Oh? Could it be that this Southern King Kong Youde and Liang Shanjun can't enter the eyes of the two Feng brothers? ”
For Feng Guoyong's thoughtful gaze, Sima Yu was stunned, raised his eyebrows, and said with a surprised expression.
"Brother Ma Yu, why should I take the test, Kong Youde is just a traitor who bends to be a slave, how can a man with two brothers stoop down to worship him. Liangshan Jun Chao Gai and the like, in the name of righteousness, although they gathered a lot of people, but they were just a group of reckless, they only knew how to kill, they didn't know the way to stabilize the country at all, and they would be defeated sooner or later, why should I follow them to be the ministers of the country! You see, it is only a matter of time before this Kong Youde and Liang Shanjun become the king of the south! ”
Feng Sheng took the words, shook his head and said with a disdainful expression.
Sima Yu was slightly shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the two brothers were not only outstanding in martial arts, but also quite extraordinary, and they had expected Kong Youde and Liang Shanjun's words today.
"What do the two Feng brothers think of this king of the south?"
Sima Yu's face remained silent, and then asked.
"The king of the south can have today's momentum, compared to his must be outstanding, there are many ministers and generals, it is not difficult to be on the side of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but if you want to dominate several states, it is very difficult to compete for power in the north!"
At the mention of the three words King of the South, a trace of inexplicability flashed in Feng Sheng's eyes, but there was a sense of lament in his words.
"What do you mean by that?"
Sima Yu's face remained unchanged.
"Although the king of the south is a hero, he has also gathered a large number of capable ministers and cadres under his command, but he was born in this land of Yongzhou. Yongzhou is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, although it has the advantage of river transportation, it is surrounded by Luzhou, Fengzhou, Bizhou, Changzhou and Jinzhou. Luzhou in the west has become a wasteland after the invasion of the Qing army, sparsely populated, Changzhou Zhuhu in the northwest is raging, Fengzhou in the north, Bizhou in the east is wide but all the mountains and forests are in the land, and Liangzhou, Chuanzhou, Beizhou, Tongzhou and other places in the north and further east are connected, the number of barbarians is more than 10 million, Jinzhou in the south is only Bailu, Yangshi, Baisha, Shimo four counties of the land, the surrounding Xizhou, Yuzhou, Zizhou and other places are also all barbarians, Heyongzhou, Jinzhou and other places are less than five million Han people, How difficult is it to stand out from the countless barbarian encirclements? Even if he can accept some barbarians to vote as the king of the south, it must be limited. Once a heroic hero dominates the barbarians, there will be no more peace under the rule of the king of the south! ”
Although the brothers Feng Guoyong and Feng Sheng have been in Shilong Village, they have obviously made a detailed analysis and understanding of the situation in the outside world, and their words are reasonable.
Sima Yu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, what Feng Sheng said was the truth. With the expansion of trade routes, according to the statistics of the secret agents of the outer cabinet, there were no less than 50,000 large and small barbarian tribes entrenched in the surrounding states of Yongzhou and Jinzhou, with a total number of more than 2,000 people.
With such a huge number of barbarians, it is indeed difficult to match them with the population and resources of Yongzhou and Jinzhou.
But for Sima Yu, who has the treasury system and the body of a barbarian king, these are the most important population resources under his rule.
"Brother Feng! Ma Yu admires! ”
However, these Sima Yu naturally couldn't say anything to Feng Sheng, and after being silent for a while, he bowed his hand to him and admired.
These two brothers can come up with so much without leaving home, and their talents have really impressed Sima Yu.
Immediately, Sima Yu was even more interested, and pulled Feng Guoyong and Feng Sheng brothers to discuss the issues of combat and the art of war again, and found that the two of them were really quite familiar with military books and battle strategies, and they liked the two of them even more in their hearts.
The conversation did not end until the evening, and the time agreed with the generals in the army was almost up, and Sima Yu had to return as soon as possible.
After bidding farewell to the two brothers, Sima Yu led Liu Tang and the others to the north of Shilong Village.
"Big brother, do you think it's him?"
After Sima Yu and the others left, looking at the back of Liu Tang and the others faintly protecting them, a bright light flashed in Feng Sheng's eyes, and a trace of unbearable excitement appeared on his face and asked Feng Guoyong.
"Listening to Dongwa in the village, two days ago, a group of thieves came to the north of Horseshoe Mountain to block the road, and all the people who passed by there were lost, and at that time I expected that there might be a change in the north of the mountain, and I thought it was true to see him today!"
Feng Guoyong nodded when he heard this, and his face also showed a look of anticipation.
"He obviously came to seek talent today, why didn't he mention the solicitation until he left, was he hit back by my words?"
Seeing this, Feng Sheng's face became more and more joyful, but he was a little puzzled.
"Not really! With his status to be able to come in person today, it shows his recognition of us, your words will not only not discourage his enthusiasm, but will make him want to recruit my two brothers even more, the reason why I didn't mention it today is probably not yet ripe! ”
Feng Guoyong shook his head and said.
"Not ripe?"
Feng Sheng looked puzzled.
"You think, he came secretly with the army this time is nothing more than to use troops to the east, although the eastern part of Yangshi County belongs to the Liangshan Army, but there are not a few sentry agents of the Southern King lurking in secret, how dare you be careless in such a big matter, you must not want to attract the attention of the Southern King forces The party has not mentioned the matter of solicitation to you and me, and once the war is over, people will definitely be sent to find you and my brother."
Feng Guo also had some doubts in his heart, pacing back and forth in the hall a few times, thinking about it for a long time before thinking of this possibility.
"What the eldest brother said is very true!"
Feng Sheng couldn't help but nod when he heard this.
At this moment, in the back kitchen, after a busy time, she came out and saw that Sima Yu and the others had left, Feng Wan'er couldn't help but say with a lost face:
"Yikes! How did he go? ”
It's the first time I've seen a man who can see him, but I don't want to leave just in a hurry, and I don't know when I'll see him again! The girl's face couldn't help but be full of grievances.
"Little sister, do you really want to see him again?"
How could the girl's heart be hidden from the two Feng brothers, and when Feng Wan'er was in a trance, Feng Sheng leaned over and teased.
"Second brother!"
The girl was shocked, looking at Feng Sheng's playful face, covering her face and not complying.
"Isn't it? I thought you still wanted to see Ma Gongzi, but I still wanted to take you to see him again! ”
Feng Sheng shook his head with some regret as he spoke, and said with an innocent look.
"Really?"
Feng Wan'er opened her eyes when she heard this, and looked at Feng Shengdao with a look of surprise.
"Haha, you still don't think about it?"
The girl's delicate appearance made the two brothers laugh at once.
"Big brother, second brother bad! Ignore you! ”
Feng Wan'er couldn't bear the shame, and immediately snorted angrily and fled shyly.
Behind her, the two brothers, who watched her leave, laughed even more.
