After entertaining Zhao Yun and Jiang Wei, the sun had already turned to the west and the heat began to subside.

Zhao Yun burped and went to find a place to stay by himself.

Anyway, it's not his first time here, so he is very familiar with it.

On the other hand, Jiang Wei was assigned a small courtyard by Feng Yong himself.

Standing at the door of the small courtyard, Feng Yong held Jiang Wei's hand tightly and asked enthusiastically: "Bo Yue, since the first time I met you, I have been deeply attracted to Boyue's style."

He lowered his voice and asked, "The Prime Minister values ​​Bo Yue so much that he has to lead six thousand Tiger Infantry troops, but I don't know how many Tiger Infantry troops he brought here this time?"

Jiang Wei modestly said: "The Tiger Infantry are elite troops, but Wei is dull and has not learned the art of leadership, so he only led three thousand people this time."

Although Feng Yong praised that he was respected by the Prime Minister, how could Jiang Wei not know that Feng Yongshi was one of the top ones ranked by the Prime Minister.

In addition, during the Northern Expedition last year, the Prime Minister intended to teach Feng Yong the Eight Formations, so Jiang Wei naturally knew about it.

So he didn't hide much from Feng Yong.

"Three thousand? Three thousand is not bad. It would be nice to have it."

Feng Yong was very happy when he heard that Jiang Wei had indeed led the Tiger Infantry.

The more soldiers that make up the eight formations, the higher the requirements for generals.

My big-bellied mother-in-law told me this a long time ago.

Jiang Weineng was able to lead 3,000 men in less than a year. He seemed to be even more powerful than his own big-bellied woman, let alone his handicapped self.

"Where is the Tiger Infantry now? Can you let me know?"

"We are stationed in Jicheng with the army led by General Wei."

The smile on Feng Yong's face grew wider and wider, "Okay, okay, Bo Yue, please go to bed early. If you need it, just tell the servants to do it."

After Jiang Wei was settled, Feng Junhou was elated and groaned along the way: "I have General Pan Feng, who can kill Hua Xiong, ah ah ah ah..."

When she returned to her backyard, Guan Ji had already returned to the house.

There are many mosquitoes in summer. Even though there are flowers and plants planted in the backyard to repel mosquitoes, they can't be driven away. There is also a pool, which is a good place for mosquitoes when it gets dark.

Wormwood was lit at the door of the house, and grass handles were woven from mugwort. Green mist curled up, and the unique smell prevented mosquitoes from getting too close.

Feng Yong took a special bath to wash away the smell of wine and mutton, and then went to the room where Guan Ji slept.

Guan Ji was half lying on the soft couch, with her feet on the footrest.

On the left and right sides are Siniang and Amei, each gently rubbing a leg.

Guan Ji's belly was already very big, and her body inevitably suffered from edema.

Especially her lower limbs were swollen uncomfortably, and she needed regular help in kneading them to make her feel more comfortable.

Seeing Feng Yong come in, Guan Ji had a gentle smile on her face, and more and more motherhood appeared in her.

"Alang has finished his business? The old general is here, but what's the emergency?"

Feng Yong sat next to her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is something wrong."

As he spoke, he held Guan Ji's hand and said softly, "I may have to go on another expedition."

Guan Ji shrank her hand, and subconsciously touched her belly with her other hand, "Is it dangerous?"

"No." Feng Yong's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head quickly, "The Prime Minister wants to force all the Liangzhou Cao thieves back to Hexi, so he plans to take advantage of Hao Zhao's death from illness to capture Yuzhong and Jincheng."

Guan Ji asked again: "Who will lead the army? Will the old general lead the army himself?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of Cao thieves in Guanzhong, and General Zhao wants to take control of Longyou, so this time Wei Yan and I divided our troops into two groups, taking Jincheng and Yuzhong respectively."

Afraid that Guan Ji would be worried, Feng Yong quickly said, "Xi Jun, do you remember Jiang Wei from Jicheng? He is the one who is highly valued by the Prime Minister."

"This time he came with the Tiger Infantry, so I will find a way to bring him with me. Don't worry, sir, nothing will happen."

Guan Ji turned her head and thought for a moment, "The one who encouraged the Hu people in Longyou to save Alang in the street pavilion?"

"Yes." Feng Yong nodded repeatedly, "This man is quite courageous and military-savvy. In addition, the prime minister asked him to lead the Tiger Infantry. He is a rare general. As long as he is here, nothing will happen."

Guan Ji frowned: "Even so, he is a general after all."

Then her face became solemn, "The two generals Zhang Ni and Jufu are Alang's trustworthy confidants, and they are the people whom Alang should rely on."

"This is Jiang Wei's first time to lead an army in battle after returning to the Han Dynasty. Whether he is talented or not, and whether he is reliable or not, will at least be known after the battle. Before that, Alang must not trust others easily."

Feng Yong wanted to explain again, but seeing Guan Ji's solemn look, he could only nod his head, "Okay, I understand."

Zhang Xingyi, on the other hand, suddenly hummed after hearing the two people's words.

Guan Ji patted her on the head angrily, "If you have something to say, just say it, it's a weird sound."

Zhang Xingyi did not dare to lose his temper with Guan Ji, but glared at Feng Yong angrily.

"Did sister forget Liu Hun, who is guarding Daxia County?"

"Oh, yes, Liu Hun is a brave general. I heard that he has a lot of experience in commanding cavalry?"

Guan Ji suddenly realized, "Since the troops are divided into two groups, it is better for Alang to take the south road to get Jincheng. Then take Liu Hun with him by the way. I don't think General Zhao will have any objections."

Then he nodded Zhang Xingyi's head again, "I know this person was recommended by you, and you have a great sense of vision, okay?"

Zhang Xingyi was very proud.

Feng Yong coughed and said, "I personally opened the road from Didao in Longxi to Jincheng in Liangzhou. I am very familiar with it. I think the old general most likely sent me to go this way, so it's not a big problem."

Then he sighed again.

"At that time, the old general asked me to quell the Qiang and Hu rebellion in Longxi and open up Didao. I thought the prime minister intended to use troops against Liangzhou."

"I didn't expect that we would only attack two cities in the end. And according to Old General Zhao, the Prime Minister planned to take Guanzhong first and then pacify Liangzhou."

When Zhang Xingyi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance sideways at someone.

Seeing her like this, Guan Ji laughed and stretched out her hand to pull her up, "Looking at you like this, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhang Xingyi sat between Feng Yong and Guan Ji, pushing Feng Yong aside.

Then he said, "I think it is right for the Prime Minister to take Guanzhong first and then Pingliang Prefecture."

"Tell me about it?"

Guan Ji patted her hand and asked with interest.

"Sister, could it be that I have forgotten those people who have estates in Hanzhong?"

Zhang Xingyi asked.

Guan Ji frowned, "Are you talking about the heroes of the Han Dynasty?"

"That's right. Guanzhong is right on top of Hanzhong. Now Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of troops in Guanzhong, like Mount Tai weighing down the top."

Zhang Xingyi sneered, "This time Thief Cao is testing every pass, I'm afraid that many people won't be able to sleep."

Guan Ji subconsciously raised her head, looked past Zhang Xingyi, and met Feng Yong's surprised gaze.

It can be seen that Alang did not seem to have thought about this level, so Guan Ji encouraged Zhang Xingyi and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course."

Zhang Xingyi looked at the closed door and then at Amei to make sure that his words would not be spread, and then continued.

"Who did the late Emperor rely on to extend Han Zuo's rule in Shu? Or the noble and meritorious officials in the court?"

"If the Prime Minister ignores the Cao thieves in Guanzhong, but first pacifies Liangzhou, which is far away in Longyou, who knows what they will think? The old capital of Chang'an is in Guanzhong, not Liangzhou."

Feng Yong took a breath.

Although Siniang spoke very cryptically, he finally understood.

Whether to pacify Liangzhou first or Guanzhong first, each has its own advantages.

But the same sentence remains: Political correctness is always correct.

The big man is now holding high the banner of "Reviving the Han Dynasty and returning the old capital". Seeing the old capital is right in front of him, if you don't go to take it, but turn around and take Liangzhou, there will be no rumors.

Didn’t Zhuge Villager say that he wanted to return the old capital?

Are you not in Liangzhou now?

Is it to raise the bandits to respect themselves?

It's possible, it's very possible...

You see, he didn't even come back to Jincheng and stayed in Hanzhong with his army. He must have ulterior motives...

A pile of feathers sinks a boat, a group of people break a shaft, a group of people speak gold, a pile of feathers sinks a boat, a group of people break their shafts, a group of people sheds gold, and the accumulation of feathers destroys the bones. It is nothing more than this.

Although Longyou overlooked Guanzhong, it put great pressure on Cao Wei in Guanzhong.

But why aren't the hundreds of thousands of Wei troops in Guanzhong weighing on Hanzhong's head?

Families who have manors in Hanzhong are basically the strongest supporters of the Han Dynasty.

If you can't even guarantee their interests, who will work for you?

Liangzhou is so far away and Guanzhong is so close. If you don't attack the close ones first, go to the far ones first. What's the point?
