Chapter 1162 Housework(1/2)
"This time, if the operation is done well, Jingzhou's food supply channels will be almost completely under our control."
Feng Duhu exhaled and looked at Deng Liang:
"After this incident, Jincheng won't have to pay so close attention as now. Weizhe really has no plans to come to Chang'an?"
Deng Liang shook his head, smiled, and rejected Feng Duhu's kindness:
"My mother is not in good health and should not work too hard. I plan to let her spend her old age in Jincheng."
"I heard it's quite cold here in Chang'an. My mother is from the south, so I'm afraid she's not used to it. It's more comfortable to live in Jincheng."
Feng Duhu nodded:
"That's right. As the saying goes, a young man will never go to Sichuan and an old man will never leave Shu. If you really want to provide for your retirement, Jincheng is indeed more suitable."
Deng Liang was speechless:
"Brother, I always feel that something is wrong with what I said. It is understandable that the old man will not leave Shu, but what does it mean that the young man will not go to Sichuan?"
Feng Duhu said half-jokingly:
"Sichuan has beautiful mountains and clear waters, a suitable climate, and is surrounded by mountains. Living in it is leisurely and contented. Young men who are not strong-willed may easily lose their fighting spirit."
This time, Deng Liang didn’t know whether he thought Feng Duhu was joking or if he really disagreed:
"I don't think so. For example, I have been waiting for this day to control Jingzhou's grain this time."
As he spoke, there was fighting spirit in his eyes:
"My younger brother and his family are all from Jingzhou, especially the adults and my mother. They are old. Their biggest wish is to return to their hometown in Jingzhou in this life."
"Brother, if we really control the food supply in Jingzhou, then the day when the Han will regain Jingzhou is not far away, right?"
Deng Liang's eyes were filled with light.
"Don't worry. It's best to destroy Wei first. Just go down to Jingzhou from Yong'an, it's not easy to fight."
If it were easier to fight, the late emperor would have defeated it long ago.
If we were to attack Yong'an from Jingzhou, it would be very difficult.
So attacking Jingzhou from Yong'an is seven to eight points more difficult, especially with Lu Xun.
"A thousand miles to the tombs returned in a day" is just a poet's romance.
In fact, from Yongan to Jiangling, not only the mountain road has eighteen bends, but the waterway also has eighteen bends.
Taking the waterway, there are many dangerous waters and dangerous shoals.
Taking the land route, there are also many rugged mountain roads.
It is a very big test for the morale and logistics of the army.
However, Feng Duhu also knew that without the suppression of the Prime Minister, many people in the Jingzhou faction were already starting to make moves.
Not to mention that the big man now is not the big man before.
The Wei State is about to be defeated by the Han Dynasty. The successive victories over the years have expanded not only the country's territory, but also its confidence.
To some people, attacking another Wu country is no longer unimaginable.
"Besides, the students who went to Jiangdong to learn boating skills have not come back yet. Some actions should not be overdone."
"After waiting for so many years, I don't care about waiting a few more years." Deng Liang was still calm, "It's just those students. I remember they should be back this year, right?"
"I have to study for one more year." Feng Duhu said with a smile on his face, "Who asked Wu Ren to borrow so many things? Just treat it as interest."
Horses, food, armor, and weapons.
Those who take advantage of others are short-handed and those who take advantage of others are soft-mouthed.
After taking so many things from the big man and letting the students of the college stay for one more year, could Emperor Wu still say no?
When Deng Liang heard this, he calculated the time of correspondence between Chang'an and Jianye, and he understood:
"Is this Ma Youchang's idea?"
"Exactly." Feng Duhu nodded and said with some emotion, "I sent Ma Youchang to Jiangdong, but I didn't expect him to do this."
Nowadays, many people in Jianye know that there is a famous scholar in Jingzhou who does not stick to trivial matters and is free and easy.
When you are down, you can make friends with traffickers and pawns, and when you are above, you can talk and laugh with powerful officials.
He is a warmhearted and generous person.
Even people like Lu Yi, the school secretary and secretary of the school, could be friends with him and even called him "Mr. Ma".
"Ma Youchang is also a person that the Prime Minister values after all. Although he may be exaggerating, and he may not be good at leading troops, he should be considered talented."
Celebrities, don’t they mostly rely on their words?
During his lifetime, the Prime Minister often had discussions with Ma You, which lasted from day to night.
It can be seen that Ma Youchang is also a good talker.
You may not be able to achieve eloquence and beauty, but if you are eloquent, you should be able to afford it.
Deng Liang looked at Feng Duhu again and said with a smile:
"Besides, if anyone has the support of his elder brother and Xinghan Hui, wouldn't it be a shame if he still can't do something good?"
Feng Duhu also laughed, and he pointed at Deng Liang helplessly:
"Weizhe, between you and me, there is no need for such flattery between brothers."
"This is not flattery."
Even though it had been more than ten years since he called King Feng Gui as his brother, Deng Zhi still had some admiration in his eyes:
"My brother helped the Wu State School Affairs Office a few years ago. Who would have thought that the School Affairs Office would be able to help us so much now?"
"Actually, I didn't expect this." Feng Duhu waved his hand, but he didn't take any credit. "I just thought that the school affairs office was causing trouble in Wu Kingdom."
"What the enemy hates, I like, so I thought of supporting them, but I didn't expect that it would actually open a hole within the Wu Kingdom."
For Sun Quan, in the school affairs office, if it sounds nice, he is called a retainer, and if it sounds bad, he is called a domestic slave.
There are many similarities with the group of eunuchs during the reign of Emperor Huanling of the Later Han Dynasty.
The biggest difference may be whether there are two ounces of meat in the crotch.
Both of them relied on imperial power for their existence.
If you gain favor, you will be ranked above the Nine Qings; if you lose favor, you will fall below the Nine Abyss.
But regardless of whether they have sex or not, they are still a group of villains who manipulate power and seek personal gain.
Otherwise, Pan Jun would not have been provoked to threaten to kill Lu Yi.
It can be seen from this that the resentment of the officials of the Wu State towards the school affairs office is comparable to the resentment of the scholar-bureaucrats towards the eunuchs during the calamity of the Party in the Later Han Dynasty.
Pan Jun, who wanted to kill Lu Yi, was a Jingzhou official appointed by the late emperor.
After the Wu people attacked Jingzhou, all the generals, officers and officials of Jingzhou surrendered.
In particular, Pan Jun was not only deeply trusted by Sun Quan, but was also reused.
Pan Jun also reciprocated the favor and was extremely loyal to Sun Quan.
In troubled times, this kind of thing is nothing.
After all, good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve.
But from Ji Han's point of view, he was a little bit worried.
Therefore, in King Feng Gui's view, since Pan Jun is so loyal to the state of Wu and can't wait to kill Lu Yi, I must support him.
Sun Quan can do disgusting things, but I can't do it?
I can't disgust Sun Quan now, but I can still disgust you, the great loyal ministers of Wu.
"Lu Yi and others asked me for personal favor, but they are loyal to Sun Quan after all."
"If one day they find out that their brother has another purpose, what will they think?"
Feng Duhu smiled proudly:
"I guess there won't be such a day. Anyway, I never thought about asking Lu Yi and others to do anything for us."
"Based on what the school administration has done in the past, what they want to do is actually something we are happy to see come to fruition."
"Anyway, the Han Dynasty no longer needs Wu's cooperation to deal with the Wei thieves. I don't expect Sun Quan to lead his troops to attack Hefei."
"So it's better to let Lu Yi take charge of the school affairs office and let the Wu Kingdom continue to be internally consumed."
Others dared to think of dealing with Wei thieves and Wu at the same time. Feng Duhu felt that it was normal for a big man to deal with Wei thieves alone, right?
Deng Liang was in Jincheng for a long time and didn't know much about the affairs of the center.
At this time, after hearing Feng Duhu's words, he had already come to some understanding.
It seems that the Han Dynasty has too much hope that Wu will not retaliate.
In other words, the princes in the court believe that the current Han Dynasty can destroy the Wei thieves on their own.
