Zuo Ling and Jia Xu looked at each other and laughed.

"Lord, I listen to the captain of Sili is not as good as the Yongzhou Assassin History, but the scope of its jurisdiction is only larger than that of Yongzhou, its jurisdiction includes Sanfu, Hongnong, Hedong, Henan, and Hanoi, and the official rank of the State Assassin is the same, and the weight is heavier, how can Cao Cao be willing to easily grant this official position to the Lord?"

"Besides, once the lord has the official position of Si Li's lieutenant, he can justifiably meddle in the military and political affairs of Hongnong, Hedong, Henan and Hanoi, Henan and Hanoi are too close to Yingchuan, Cao Cao doesn't dare to let the lord's hands and feet reach under his nose!"

"Also, there are only four counties in Yongzhou at this time!"

After Zuo Ling's explanation, Qin Feng figured out what was going on.

He asked Lu Sheng again: "What else do you have to report?" ”

Lu Sheng said: "After making a report, Cao Cao decided to send Sikong Mansion Peng Fu Gan to return to Liangzhou with the will of the imperial court to persuade Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to raise troops to fight against the lord, presumably the envoy is only afraid that he has already gone on the road!" ”

After hearing this, Qin Feng said to Zuo Ling and Jia Xu: "It seems that our fear of surmising that Cao Cao will not be willing to lose the land of Guanzhong, and wants to buy and win over Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to raise an army to fight against us has come true!" Mr. Wenhe, how to deal with this matter? ”

Jia Xu said: "I and the lord have long expected this matter, Cao Cao's envoy Fu Gan's primary persuasion object is Ma Teng, after Ma Teng is the founding general of this dynasty, it is much easier to persuade Ma Teng than to persuade Han Sui, now Ma Han is a righteous brother, convincing Ma Teng is equivalent to convincing Han Sui!" ”

"But is the brotherhood between Ma Teng and Han Sui really ironclad? I'm afraid that it may not be, when fighting against foreign enemies, they often send troops together, but they are suspicious of each other, and the reason for the suspicion is nothing more than the word profit! ”

"As long as the interests between them are not equal, they will not be able to unite, and besides, I heard that Han Sui is very suspicious, if we can get someone who can speak well and have immediate response to send Han Sui to Han Sui, and know the benefits and disadvantages from him, I will definitely let Han Sui not join forces with Ma Teng to attack our army!"

"As for the other warlords in Guanzhong, they have only risen one after another in recent years, although their strength is not as great as Ma Teng and Han Sui, but they are not Ma Teng and Han Sui's subordinates, they just take these two people as their leaders, and advance and retreat together, if Ma Teng and Han Sui have a disagreement, they may not be able to support anyone!"

Qin Feng nodded and said: "Mr. Wenhe's words are very much in line with my wishes, two days ago, Huangfu Li came to ask for an official, and I intended to order him to be the envoy to Han Sui, I don't know what the two gentlemen think?" ”

Zuo Ling thought for a while and arched his hand: "Lord, I think it is feasible, although Huangfu Li is from a scholar clan and is famous for his special talents, but the lord does not look at his identity, with him on the horse, this matter should be feasible!" ”

A few days later, the imperial envoy arrived in Chang'an and read out the emperor's canonization edict, Qin Feng took up the post of Yongzhou Assassin, but did not remove him from the official position of Nanyang Taishou, both sides knew that even if he was dismissed from the official position of Nanyang Taishou, he would not hand over Nanyang, and if the court reappointed Nanyang Taishou, the successor could not take office, but also reduced the prestige of the imperial court.

After sending away the imperial court envoys, Qin Feng arranged for Huangfu Li to lead a team to envoy Han Sui, and he brought a lot of grain, cloth, and silk this time, in addition to Han Sui's, he also sent them to other warlords in Liangzhou, so as to ease and bring relations closer.

"Mr. Huangfu, I am now the assassin of Yongzhou, I appointed you to be engaged, but I have full authority to negotiate with Han Sui on my behalf, I will equip you with two hundred elite soldiers, which should be much more beautiful and magnanimous than Cao Cao's envoy Fu Gan, even if Fu Gan's pomp is big, he can't bring too many followers if he wants to be discovered when he arrives in Guanzhong, he can only bring a few people with him, if he meets Fu Gan, Mr. can wait for the opportunity to kill him!"

Huangfu Li saluted and said: "Thank you general, I will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Under the protection of more than 100 elite soldiers, Huangfu Li set off with tens of thousands of stones, grain, grass and some cloth and silk, until the dust disappeared into the sky, and Qin Feng and the others returned to the city.

The next day, Qin Feng found someone to call Zhang Ji.

"See the general!"

Qin Feng picked up Zhang Ji and led him to talk in the shade of the trees in the backyard.

"De Jong is talented, only a county order to give in, I want De Jong to come to the Assassin Mansion to be engaged, Beidi County Taishou Duan Xuan is now under me, I want to send De Jong to meet him, persuade him to obey my dispatch, De Jong thinks this matter can be successful?"

Zhang Ji thought for a while, "Duan Xuan is Duan Ying's son, in the final analysis, he is still from the Xiliang Army, the imperial court is afraid that he does not trust him very much, the imperial court is now no time to look westward, if the focus is on Guanzhong, the first person to be relieved of military power should be Duan Xuan!" ”

"But if you want to make Duan Xuan obedient and obey the general, I'm afraid there are still some difficulties, the Xiliang generals are unruly one by one, if the general has no prestige in Guanzhong, this matter will be difficult to achieve!"

After thinking for a while, Qin Feng said to Zhang Ji: "Then retreat and ask for the second, let him not help each other, De Jong can do it?" ”

Zhang Ji pondered for a while and agreed: "I am willing to try it, whether I can convince Duan Xuan depends on the will of heaven!" ”

Since Huangfu Li took the initiative to ask for officials, there were people who kept coming to Qin Feng to ask for officials, and those officials who had left before were embarrassed to come back and ask for reinstatement at the moment, even if they came, Qin Feng would not allow it, and it had already been said in the decree that those who were removed from office would never be hired.

For the people of the scholar clan who came to serve, Qin Feng used all their talents, never looked down on them because of their status, nor did he deliberately press them down, let alone let them only make a small county order because they obviously had the talent to be too guarded.

The suppression of the privileges of the nobles was Qin Feng's established policy, but it did not mean that he could suppress the nobles, but only deprived them of the privileges that distinguished them from the common people.

His appointment of these scholars who came one after another won the praise and support of many people.

Under the deliberate promotion of Qin Feng and Zuo Ling, official schools began to be created in various parts of Guanzhong, among which the land of Sanfu was the first to be launched.

However, it was said that Fu Gan led the envoy team through Hanoi and Hedong, and finally crossed the Yellow River to the land of Guanzhong, but found that the passes in various places were very strictly checked, and sent people to inquire and check, only to know that they had been targeted by the Flame Army.

In particular, some caravans with relatively large teams and the teams of the eunuchs' houses will definitely be checked up and down.

This made Fu Gan feel a huge pressure, and after careful consideration, he decided to travel lightly, only a few entourages to continue to Liangzhou, and the others returned to Xudu along the same route with a large number of vehicles full of precious gifts.

In order not to be found out by the Flame Army, Fu Gan and others slept all the way to the city, not daring to enter the city, but just went west along the Weishui.

From the day he entered the land of Guanzhong, he walked for twenty-five days before he reached Wuwei.
