Feng Duhu held the riding whip in his hand and stood at the highest point of Ekou, looking down the mountain. He could see all the northeast, south and east sides of the river.

But Feng Duhu asked: "How's it going at Gaopingguan?"

Before the arrival of Zhongdu Hu, Zhang Bao was the highest military commander in Hedong.

In addition to focusing on guarding against the direction of Zhiguan, we must also be prepared for the loss of Gaopingguan at any time.

Even Sima Yi would go south from Taiyuan - although after General Guan rushed to Taiyuan's aid, this possibility was slim.

But whether it is news from Gaopingguan or Taiyuan, a copy will be sent to Zhang Bao as soon as possible.

Especially in the direction of Gaopingguan, a messenger is sent out every morning and evening to contact.

At this time, Zhang Bao couldn't help showing joy when he heard the Zhongduhu's question:

"Back to the Central Protector, Gaopingguan sent news just yesterday. General Shi Zhonglang suddenly arrived at Gaopingguan and Chen's army had even fought a battle with the Wei thieves."

"Now that the thieves have been forced back, Gao Pingguan is worry-free!"

When he heard that Shi Bao was guarding Gaoping Pass, Feng Duhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I remember when I first met Shi Bao, I heard that he was as famous as Deng Ai.

Now it seems that this evaluation is not low in authenticity.

Although Deng Ai was killed when he was still unknown and did not wait for his growth period.

But this does not prevent Feng Duhu from knowing how powerful this person is.

In fact, Shi Bao's performance over the years has been really good - except for her weak will when it comes to female sex.

However, today's Han Dynasty, due to years of war, there are more boys and girls, and there is a trend of Han and Hu fusion.

The addition of Hu Nu has made the competition more intense.

As long as you can afford it, you and I are willing to love each other, and there is nothing wrong with being more lustful. If you have one more child, it will be an extra contribution to the big man.

"How's the battle going?"

Feng Duhu was a little curious.

Speaking of which, this is Shi Bao's first time taking on an important responsibility independently.

Zhang Bao then recounted the battle at Gaoping Pass.

Then he sighed slightly and said:

"The Sima Division is lucky. If Chen's army is as good as the three thousand elite soldiers led by General Wang, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for him to escape in the battle at Gaoping Pass."

Feng Duhu couldn't help laughing:

"How greedy is General Zhang? The three thousand elite soldiers led by Wang Minda (also known as Wang Han) are veterans of hundreds of battles."

"Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, there are only thirty thousand people who can compare with them."

Of course, these 30,000 people do not include cavalry.

Most of them were former Tiger Infantry troops brought out by the Prime Minister himself during his lifetime.

The remaining half were mostly from the Qian Modao Camp and the Qian Wudang Camp under Feng Duhu.

The sources of troops are mainly the descendants of Nanxiang and the Nanzhong Yi people.

As for the last few remaining people, they are the white men soldiers left behind by the late emperor.

It's just that Feng Duhu began to focus on training cavalry from the time he took up the post of Colonel Guarding Qiang.

Although there are infantry under his command, they have not been expanded.

On the contrary, after becoming the governor of Liangzhou, cavalry gradually became the main force.

Many of the three thousand people under Wang Han's command were old men who had followed Feng Duhu during his first Northern Expedition.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are veterans of many battles.

Zhang Bao naturally knew this, so he smiled and said nothing more.

Feng Duhu turned around, glanced at him, and then continued to ask:

"Who is in charge of Gaopingguan now?"

"Of course it's still Shi Zhongrong."

"Where's Wei Wenchang?"

Hearing Feng Duhu take the initiative to mention Wei Yan, Zhang Bao, who had a happy face, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yes, why did you forget about Wei Wenchang?

The unknown life or death of the great Han general should be a sad thing, and it should not be shown with joy.

Zhang Bao quickly rubbed his face, trying to wipe away the joy, and then said in a slightly sad tone:

"It is said that he was seriously injured and unconscious. The army has sent people to escort him back to Chang'an for treatment."

"Unconscious?" Feng Duhu was really surprised, "Severely injured?"

"Yes, seriously injured." Zhang Bao nodded with a heavy look on his face.

Although Wei Yan was able to serve as the governor of the Hedong Governor's Mansion, his queen sister played an important role.

But there was such a big mistake. As a general, Zhang Bao naturally criticized Wei Yan in his heart.

"Seriously injured and unconscious, sent back to Chang'an for treatment..."

Feng Duhu repeated it, and then his tone was filled with emotion and sigh:

"It doesn't matter if you go back to Chang'an...after all, there is a medical school in Chang'an."

The tone was not finished, but it seemed that he did not want to finish the words.

Zhang Bao hesitated to speak. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Feng Duhu continue to speak. After all, he couldn't help but ask:

"What do you think the Central Protector will do after Wei Wenchang returns to Chang'an?"

Feng Duhu glanced at Zhang Bao with some surprise, then glanced at Zhang Yi, Zhang Ju and others behind Zhang Bao.

If it were in the past, Wei Yan had the support of the palace, and the Central Protectorate would naturally not be able to say anything.

As for now, the one in the palace may have a headache just to deal with the dissatisfaction of Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others.

Therefore, at this time, the Central Governor's Office, which oversees internal and external military affairs, does have a great say in this matter.

What people didn't expect was that Feng Duhu shook his head and said:

"On the matter of joining the party, we still have to wait until the investigation is completed before we can draw a conclusion. At that time, we will naturally act in accordance with the laws of the country."

"Now that the war is tense, the top priority is to retreat from the enemy, or at least stabilize the situation first."

Having said this, Feng Duhu chuckled, whether it was a sneer or a sneer, or he was thinking of something else.

"How can a general fail to win a battle? Even Wu Zi has not won a battle. If he is condemned just for losing one battle, how can he convince others?"

Whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun of Ji Han...

Who has never lost a battle?

A general who has won hundreds of battles and never suffered a defeat is called a peerless general and is one of the few in history.

As for the relationship between Feng Duhu and Wei Yan, we can refer to the incident between the Prime Minister and Li Yan.

There were times when Zhuge Liang "wanted to endure it for the sake of the country" towards Li Yan, and even retreated again and again.

It wasn't until Li Yan's crime was unforgivable that he was angry and deposed him in one fell swoop.

Li Yan, the client, was also convinced to plead guilty and did not dare to argue for himself.

Even so, there are conspiracy theories in later generations. It must be said that Li Yan failed in the power struggle with the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister resorted to tricks to have Li Yan demoted to a commoner.

I want to cry out for Li Yan.

The human heart is sinister, nothing more than that.

With all the bad things Li Yan did after he became the assistant minister, does the prime minister still need to harm him?

Feng Duhu naturally didn't care about future generations' evaluation of him. After all, he had no hope for his posthumous reputation.

According to his own estimation, if the family did not compile ten or eight unofficial histories to compile themselves, they would be sorry for the oppression he had exerted on the family over the years.

But even so, he couldn't convict veterans like Wei Yan in private.

You must act openly and honestly, and convince others with your reasoning, so as not to follow the truth.

The most important thing is to seal the coffin in one fell swoop, at least in the Han Dynasty, to make it an ironclad case.

After hearing what Feng Duhu said, Zhang Bao said that it was someone Feng who had changed his gender.

Cruel-hearted turned into kind-hearted.

But when I heard Feng Duhu's laughter and looked at this man's expressionless face, I remembered what my brother-in-law said if he acted in accordance with the laws of the country.

I suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

The affairs of Wei Yan and Shangdang had nothing to do with him.
