The transmission of messages between Han and Wei was not smooth.

This time, Han Long brought back the news about the Shouchun woman turning into a goddess, which was an unexpected surprise.

However, this unexpected surprise is not of great use to Governor Feng at present.

That is to see if I can make some use of this matter in the future.

At most, we should develop a long-term layout.

After all, Liangzhou and Luoyang are too far apart, and they are also isolated from each other.

It would take at least three months to deliver the news back and forth.

In an era without radio, the Ghost King had no way of transmitting his message across thousands of miles.

The most important issue in Liangzhou right now is still the issue of the barbarians.

At the end of August, it is the golden autumn, when the grass in the desert is yellow and the horses are fat.

Shi Bao, who had been wandering on the grassland for half a year, finally returned to Liangzhou.

Not only did he bring back the war horses that Kebineng promised to the Han, but he also brought back the news that Kebineng promised to move the tent to his hometown of Jiuyuan.

On the first day of September, the generals of the Liangzhou Prefectural Army gathered at the staff headquarters and held the first formal joint staff meeting.

Zhang Yuan, Feng's favorite disciple, held a long whip and talked in front of a huge map:

"Since the Han Dynasty re-administered Liangzhou, the Hu people in Liangzhou have benefited from the benefits of woolen pastures, and they are all grateful for the kindness of the monarch. Originally, the Xianbei Hu people in the north of Liangzhou also often heard the name of the monarch."

"However, after Liangzhou was established in Yanjun and the capital Yeze was re-administered, the Han Dynasty blocked the way for the Hu people to go south and enter Liangzhou."

"Therefore, there are barbarians in the desert near Liangzhou in the north," Zhang Yuan said, tapping the northward protruding part of Liangzhou with his long whip. "Nowadays, there are many people who have resentments against the Han people."

"The princes thought that the barbarians had been causing chaos in Liangzhou for a long time, and they no longer knew the power of the Han Dynasty. Now that Liangzhou has been settled and the food and grass are ready, it is time to leave the fortress."

As soon as he said this, there was a slight commotion not to mention the generals who were scattered, sitting or standing in various corners of the room.

Even the generals who were qualified to sit at the big round table couldn't help but look at Governor Feng.

Sitting on the left is Long Shi Liao Hua, and on the right sits Feng, the captain of Wuwei County and the commander of General Huwei Guan Suo, with a calm expression:

"The main enemy of the Han Dynasty is the Wei thieves, but if the army wants to march eastward with peace of mind, the problem of the Hu people must be solved first."

"The Prime Minister sent someone to deliver an official document a few days ago, asking Liangzhou about the progress of the military affairs. His intention is to ask me to deal with Liangzhou's military affairs as soon as possible."

"According to my estimate, the prime minister will probably leave Hanzhong and march north in two years or three years at the earliest."

"So we don't have much time left." Feng Yong said, stood up, took the long whip from Zhang Yuan's hand, and banged it on the desert north of Liangzhou.

"Two years! Within two years, at least the Hu people in Xianbei in the west will not dare to provoke at the border of Liangzhou for a short period of time."

After receiving the approval from Governor Feng, the general did not dare to be too presumptuous, but was just excited and secretly clapped his hands in celebration.

Some of the generals sitting at the round table had already stood up and shouted: "Brother..."

General Huwei's eyes immediately swept over him like a sharp sword.

Zhao Guang was so frightened that he stuttered on the spot:

"You... Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the army out of the fortress!"

"General Zhao, I remember that your main task now is to rebuild the cavalry battalion. I will inspect the cavalry battalion tomorrow. If there is any weakness, let's see how I march."

Zhao Sanqian, who was powerful among the thieves in Guanzhong, immediately turned pale when he heard General Huwei's words.

Finished!

He looked at his brother as if asking for help.

Governor Feng looked at Zhao Xiaodi with pity and added:

"That's right, this time we go out to the fortress, we will mainly use the sudden cavalry battalion and the Wudang battalion as the main ones, and we will recruit Hu Qiyi to join the army to supplement them..."

Liu Hun and Shi Bao looked happy when they heard this. They immediately stood up and clasped their fists together:

"The last general takes command!"

The two of them grinned almost to the back of their ears.

Nowadays, workshops and pastures in Liangzhou are really popping up like mushrooms after a rain.

This is naturally accompanied by a shortage of manpower.

To be precise, there is a shortage of labor, weavers and handymen.

In the past, those wealthy families thought that Liangzhou was full of barbarians.

Now some people have suggested that Governor Feng could follow what happened in Nanzhong and let everyone form their own militia and go out to the fortress to find labor.

Then Feng Jishi, the chief labor coach of the Han Dynasty, said: You want to eat shit!

Today I dare to ask you to form a militia to look for labor. Tomorrow in Liangzhou I dare to spread the legend that Feng Langjun was possessed by Feng Ghost King and controlled thousands of women at night.

The reason why Nanzhong was done like this back then was because the Han Dynasty was at its weakest and had to take the wrong approach.

Over the years, how many changes has the Xinghan Society under the leadership of King Feng Gui brought to the people of Nanzhong?

But what's the result?

In the eyes of the people in Nanzhong, King Feng Gui is still the same King Feng Gui, without any change and full of evil forever.

If you still dare to do this now, let alone sheep eating people, I'm afraid they can even eat grass!

Besides, even if he wants to eat people, Ghost King Feng will eat them first, right?

It is precisely because of the current situation in Liangzhou that leading the army out of the fortress is both merit and gain.

It’s simply not that exciting!

Of course, the main thing is to clean up the troubles of the big man, and the oil and water are just a side trip.

Compared with Liu Hun and Shi Bao, Tufa Tianli, who was participating in such a high-level meeting for the first time, was half a beat slower. He followed the two of them and stuttered:

"The last general takes command!"

Feeling the excitement and almost fanatical atmosphere in the conference room, Bald-faced Kheli seemed to have a creepy feeling.

Just thinking that I also have a piece of pasture in my name, if I go out this time, I will really gain something...

Bald-haired Tianli suddenly couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his heart began to beat:

This... it really is better to get out of the way!

"This time out of the fortress, the direction is mainly eastward."

Governor Feng tapped the map to calm down the restless crowd, and then passed the long whip from Juyan County to the approximate location of Jiuyuan Hometown:

"From Juyan County to Jiuyuan Hometown, I hope you can open a way out."

Juyan County and Jiuyuan Hometown are both prominent locations, and they are exactly level with each other.

At that time, Huo Piaoyao set out from Beidi County, entered the desert from his hometown of Jiuyuan, made a big circle, and accurately settled in Yanze for thousands of miles.

Then he went up the weak river from Juyanze, crossed the west of the river, and defeated the Huns in their heartland.

They wiped out more than 30,000 enemies and made a forced landing of 2,500 people including King Shan Huan, King Tu, Prime Minister, and Captain.

Captured five kings and five queen mothers, the Chanyu family, fifty-nine princes, sixty-three prime ministers, generals, officials, and captains.

The Han army suffered only more than 3,000 casualties.

In this battle, the right arm of the Huns was cut off, allowing the Han to take Hexi into his hands, and completely open up the Western Region.

What Feng Yong wants to do now is to go back to Huo Piao and Yao's original route and open up the connection between Juyan County and Jiuyuan's hometown.

In this way, during the Battle of Guanzhong, Kebi Neng, who was entrenched in the hometown of Jiuyuan, could be used to put pressure on Sima Yi.

After the Battle of Guanzhong was over, the Han Dynasty could pin down Kebineng from the west and south to prevent him from making any big waves.

To be a tool man, you must have the consciousness of a tool man, and the big man is so short of labor...

After explaining the mission of going out to the fortress this time, Governor Feng looked at everyone:

"Any more questions?"

"Junhou, there is a vast desert between Juyan County and Jiuyuan's hometown. This trip will only take three months at most. We have to return in December. I'm afraid I'm not prepared enough."

Shi Bao has been wandering in the desert this year and has a better understanding of the situation in the north.

At this time he stood up and asked what the problem was.

"Two years."

Feng Yong raised two fingers: "Two years, you have two years to open this road."

"I will ask Zhang Yuan to follow with some advisers and draw a map along the way."

It only took Huo Piaoyao a few months to find a way without any road signs, and he was also able to move to Hexi and defeat the Xiongnu.

Now he has the ruins of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty on the vast desert as a road sign, and the barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall as a guide.

In addition, over the years, some caravans who want money but not their lives have been exploring their way north, which can also be used.

Not to mention that we can defeat the bandits like Huo Piao Yao, but to say that it takes two years to find a way is not too much, right?
To be continued...
