The rain finally cooled down Longyou, which was almost on fire.

Feng Yong rushed to Pingxiang County in Hanyang County without stopping, accompanied by Zhao Yun, the governor of Longyou.

"Are you sure you want to be here?"

Zhao Yun held a horsewhip in his hand and pointed at Pingxiang City in the distance, "This city has been destroyed many times due to Qiang rebellion. Later, the Liangzhou soldiers and horses came and ravaged it again. I see that this city is in dilapidated condition. I'm afraid

You have to reshape it."

Feng Yong and Zhao Yun rode side by side, with their troops spread out far away to protect them in the middle.

"Renovation is not a problem," Feng Yong reined in his horse and walked up a small slope. "Except for a few counties and important towns, there is nothing in Longyou that is not dilapidated? What I value is its accessibility in all directions."

"Whether you go west to Nan'an Longxi or east to Longguan Xiaoguan, there is no big problem. More importantly, it is close to Liangzhou, so you can easily exchange news with the Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou."

The captain who protects Qiang must have a place of governance.

Of course, it is also possible to govern the city of Hebei, but this shows that the Qiang captain has no enterprising spirit and is under the protection of the Longyou governor, so Feng Yong is naturally unwilling.

So you have to find a suitable place.

Originally I wanted to choose Lueyang, but Lueyang was too close to the east.

So I had no choice but to settle for Pingxiang City in Hanyang County.

Zhao Yun and Feng Yong came here this time to explore the specific situation of Pingxiang City.

Zhao Yun nodded, "The location of Pingxiang City is indeed good. Even if something happens, Jicheng can quickly provide support. I'm afraid you have to rebuild this city."

Feng Yong didn't care, "Rebuilding is not easy, there must be enough manpower."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "whoosh" in front of him, and a rabbit rushed past.

Zhao Yun moved very quickly, and immediately drew the bow and arrow. With a "boom" sound, the arrow shot out like the wind and nailed the rabbit to the ground.

Someone rushed out on horseback and bent down to pick it up.

Zhao Yun sighed with emotion, "Coming this way reminds me of my days in Hebei, riding a horse and shooting animals, something I haven't had the chance to do in many years."

"The old general galloped all the way from Jicheng, and his riding skills are still as good as before. Anyway, I can't keep up."

Feng Yong complimented.

Zhao Yun laughed and pointed at Feng Yong, "If Erlang could speak half as well as you, he wouldn't always think about running away from home."

With that said, he handed the bow in his hand to Feng Yong and pointed in front of him, "Look, there's another one ahead."

Feng Yong took the bow and looked in the direction Zhao Yun pointed, only to see a bold wild boar lowering his head and arching something.

Wild animals are bold these days, and tigers are often seen in the deep mountains and old forests far away from the population centers.

Feng Yong looked at Zhao Yun with some embarrassment.

Zhao Yun thoughtfully handed over an arrow.

Feng Tibi secretly gritted his teeth, drew his bow and shot an arrow. After taking aim for a long time, with a "peng" sound, the arrow feathers drifted crookedly to the right of the wild boar and landed more than ten steps away.

Look at the landing point of the arrow. Even if it hits the target, the distance of the arrow will not reach the wild boar.

Feng Turtle's face turned red.

"drive!"

He rode directly to a place more than thirty paces away from the wild boar.

The wild boar seemed to sense the danger, and ran for more than ten steps purring. After looking at Feng Yong, who had no intention of catching up, it lowered its head provocatively to look for food.

Feng Yong calculated and felt that he should be able to shoot this far, so he drew the bow again.

This arrow was better than the last one, and it was five or six steps away from the wild boar.

"Bring the crossbow!"

Feng Tibi was furious.

Buqu quickly flew over and handed over a strung crossbow.

Aim, pull the trigger, and the arrow is like lightning, heading straight for the wild boar's anus!

With a scream of "Ouch", the wild boar's eyes turned red on the spot. It was not clear whether it was disoriented in pain or looking for revenge, and it rushed straight towards Feng Yong.

A knight rushed past, with a white horse in silver armor and a silver spear as fast as lightning. He lifted the wild boar into the air, slapped it hard, and stabbed it again before it hit the ground!

Feng Yong shouted, "What a great shot!"

Zhao Yun easily picked the wild boar towards Bu Qu, who was following him, and glanced at Feng Yong with disdain, "The shot was quite accurate!"

Feng Yong smiled awkwardly.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Zhao Yun handed the gun to the person next to him, turned his horse's head, walked to Feng Yong, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the crossbow."

Feng Yong quickly handed it over.

"I was just wondering why this crossbow looks different from the usual one. What are the parts on it used for?"

Zhao Yun turned the crossbow around in his hand and asked with some confusion.

"Oh, this is a crossbow that I specially improved."

Feng Yong quickly moved forward, "This is Wangshan. This is the sight. There is a crossbow tail and a crossbow head. Put the two together and aim at the target in front, and you will be able to shoot accurately."

Zhao Yun tried it, and then looked at Feng Yong strangely, "I said you are so bad at archery, how can you be so accurate with a crossbow."

Feng Yong thought he had not heard this.

Lao Zhao, even if we don’t say this, we are still good friends!

Zhao Yun raised the crossbow in his hand and said thoughtfully, "If the army can..."

Before he finished speaking, he shook his head and rejected it, "There is no time to aim before the formation. As long as you shoot more, the thieves will not dare to come forward."

Feng Yong knew what he meant and said, "It's not that it can't be used in the military. It's just that it's not necessary to have all the equipment."

"However, if we can improve it further and install it on a heavy crossbow, so that people who are skilled in using crossbows can find opportunities to shoot the bandit leaders during melee, we can give it a try."

Zhao Yun's expression changed and he cursed, "You have evil thoughts!"

That's what I say, but old man, you are playing with my crossbow and you have a thoughtful expression on your face. What do you mean?

The two walked in silence for a while. Zhao Yun returned the crossbow to Feng Yong and never mentioned the topic again.

"Just now you said you have enough manpower to rebuild Pingxiang City? Where will your manpower come from?"

Zhao Yun asked.

Feng Yong chuckled and pointed to the east, "Old general, when you take office as a Qiang guard captain, you always have to perform your duties. The Qiang and Hu in Hanyang County are disobedient to discipline, so I want to lead the Longyou Qiang and Hu to obey the attack and not to submit."

Zhao Yun's expression changed again, "What do you mean, please explain clearly!"

"Although the drought is over now, I still have to help those Qiang Hus, so I have to let them do some work, right? My food is not brought by strong winds."

Feng Yong had a look of pain on his face. This time it was really painful.

When Zhao Yun heard this, his face twitched, "Help?"

"Oh, even if it's half a loan and half a reward, I still have to take risks, right? What if I let them get some cattle and sheep next year? Who doesn't say I'm a good person?"

Feng Yong was not embarrassed at all, "I recruited the best of their tribes and patrolled Longyou with me to wipe out the rebellious tribes in Hanyang County. This will allow them to use their credit to offset next year's debts."

"Secondly, we can use the supplies from the rebel tribes in Hanyang County to subsidize their tribes. Thirdly, we can also use their hands to quell the Qiang rebellion in Hanyang. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

To quell the Qiang rebellion in Hanyang, it can only be regarded as an exercise, a small exercise, for the Longyou Qiang Hu who have attached themselves to the title of Protecting Qiang Xiaowei.

The real actual combat should be in Longxi and Liangzhou.

Zhao Yun took a breath and looked at Feng Yong, "You are stubborn and want to learn from Nanzhong?"

"Old general, you can't say that. The Qiang and Hu people in Longyou all want to live a good life, but the Hu people in Hanyang County are always rebelling and making people uneasy. Who wouldn't hate them? I'm just following people's will and trying to please them.

It’s just a disobedience.”

Feng Yong said plausibly.

By the way, it seems that the labor business has not been open for a long time...
