Chapter 0853 Fascinated(1/2)
Zhang was kidnapped by the rebels back then, and he was beaten with swords without changing his expression. He even asked for death. It is impossible to say that he didn't have any pride in his bones.
Therefore, in the battle of Jincheng, I was beaten up by Feng Wenhe, and I felt extremely aggrieved. I lost even if I lost, but I am convinced but not necessarily convinced.
At that time, he went to Longyou not because he wanted to go, but because Zhang Gong scolded him for going there.
At this time, when he heard that Feng Wenhe defeated the 100,000 Wei army with 20,000 men, his mind wavered, his face changed color, and he even doubted himself. This shows how much impact this incident had on him.
Liu Liang's expression changed when he saw Zhang. He knew that he had lost his mind, and for some reason, he felt relieved.
Although he knew that it was because of Feng Wenhe who had made him unhappy before, he could sit here with confidence and watch the other person suffer.
But Liu Liang felt happy!
He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of it elegantly. Then he looked at Zhang Jue and asked leisurely:
"The 100,000 troops of the Wei thieves are not as strong as the 20,000 troops of Feng Junhou. Mr. Zhang thinks, does Liangzhou still need me as a lobbyist?"
When Zhang heard Liu Liang's words, his face felt a little hot at first, but the next moment, the emotion that arose in his heart was not shame and anger, but inexplicable relief.
Liangzhou does not have an army of 100,000, and even if it does, it is just pieced together. There is no way to compare with the elite Wei army in Guanzhong.
It would not be surprising if even Da Sima lost and his few troops were defeated by Feng Wenhe.
When I thought about it this way, I felt much more comfortable.
As long as he loses the battle, he has several thoughts in his mind, but the expression on his face remains unchanged:
"Since Liu Langjun is not a lobbyist, and he has repeatedly said that he came to Liangzhou to visit the local customs, then why did he come to my Zhang family?"
When Liu Liang heard this, an unpredictable smile appeared on his face:
"I have heard for a long time that the Dunhuang Zhang family is trusted by the Hu people in Liangzhou. I brought a lot of goods with me this time and want to exchange some wool with the Hu people in Liangzhou. If your government can help me connect, I will be really grateful.
"
After Zhang listened to Liu Liang's words, he almost couldn't help but spit out the fragrance and wanted to greet this new friend: Is your mother still alive? Is your father still well?
Does it take too long for the snow to melt?
You really want to buy wool?
Do you dare to think twice about the excuse that comes right out of your mouth?
You might as well tell me that you are going to sleep with Hu Nu!
Zhang Jiu, who was almost unable to control his emotions, finally endured it.
I can't bear it.
Even if he knows that the other person is not his son, he still has to endure it.
The situation is stronger than the person!
Not only must you be patient, but you must even give the other person a smile:
"That's it. Liu Langjun has really found the right person this time. If it's about other things, I don't dare to agree to anything, but he is a barbarian. Our Zhang family still knows some big tribes."
"Oh, seriously? That's great!"
Liu Liang said happily, "If you get something this time, I will definitely be rewarded!"
"It's easy to talk!"
Zhang was also unambiguous. Not only did he tell Liu Liang the situation of the Hu people in Liangzhou in detail, he even sent an old man from his house as a guide to take Liu Liang and his party to the Hu tribe.
After arranging all this, he hurried to find Zhang Gong.
"The Han Kingdom is preparing to officially take over Liangzhou!"
At this time, Zhang Gong was wrapped in a thin blanket. After listening to what Zhang Jiu said, he said something leisurely.
Zhang Gong is already old. Even if the weather starts to get warmer, as long as there is a slight chill outside, his body will easily feel cold.
"Why do you say this, Your Excellency?" Zhang was shocked. "Didn't Your Excellency say that Han will have to wait at least two or three more years?"
"That was before." Zhang Gong sighed, "After the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng Yong's name was resounding throughout the world. Who among the barbarians in Yongliang would not accept it?"
"My lord, do you think the Battle of Xiaoguan is real?"
Zhang asked with a glimmer of last hope.
"It's not that I think it, but it's simply true."
Zhang Gongyong said with great confidence.
Nowadays, all the barbarians in Liangzhou may not know who the governor of Liangzhou is, or even who the head of the Zhang family in Dunhuang is, but they all know who the captain who protects the Qiang in Longyou is.
It took at least twenty years for the Dunhuang Zhang family to gain the respect of the Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou.
And what about Feng Yong?
Counting from the time when woolen materials began to flow into Longyou, it was only five or six years at most!
As a native of Liangzhou, how could Zhang Gong not know what the nature of the Hu people in Yongliang was?
In the battle of Longyou, if the Hu people had not rebelled against Wei and returned to Shu, stabbing the Wei army, the Shu people might not have taken Longyou into their hands so easily.
Even if it can be taken into their hands, if there is no Feng Yong to govern the barbarians, it will take at least five or six more years for the Shu people to govern Longyou.
And it will definitely not be possible to make local wealthy families and Qiang Hu obey obediently like now.
The name "Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain god" is really much more useful to the Hu people than the name he has earned through more than twenty years of hard work.
Zhang came back from Longyou and told Zhang Gong everything he saw and heard. He knew one thing:
Under the governance of the Huqiang Xiaowei Mansion, the Longyou Hu people not only behaved like dogs, but even tried their best to actively act like dogs!
During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty, this situation only occurred when it was at its most prosperous.
But Feng Yong has done it now.
In the past two years, with the inflow of woolen materials, brown sugar and other goods, rumors about the various treatments of the Longyou Hu people under the governance of the Shu people protecting the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion have also been continuously spread to Liangzhou.
It also made the Hu people yearn for "Feng Langjun, the descendant of the mountain god".
Yearning for a better life is a survival instinct, right?
Of course, rumors are just rumors after all, and it is impossible for the Liangzhou barbarians to rush to Longyou to seek refuge with Feng Langjun just because of a legend.
First it's inconvenient.
Now that the Han and Wei Dynasties are facing each other in Liangzhou, it is already the limit for caravans to communicate with each other. If any tribe suddenly wants to cross the border, it will be an act seeking death.
If we can't defeat the Shu people, how can we defeat you barbarians?
Now, since a captain came from Longyou to protect the Qiang, the Hu people in Liangzhou suddenly discovered that their lives had actually improved!
Just the wool sold to local wealthy families is a considerable amount of extra income.
Under the constant threat of the Shu troops, the Wei officials tried to appease the people internally. How could they dare to shout at the Hu people like before?
Even the local wealthy families had to temporarily change their attitude towards the barbarians in order to better obtain wool from the barbarians.
What's more, when Liangzhou is very likely to fall into the hands of the Shu people, looking over at Longyou, the slogan of the Shu people that Han and Yi are united does not seem to be just talk.
It's appropriate to prepare for political speculation in advance.
The Hu people in Liangzhou naturally don't understand why their lives have suddenly become better in the past two years.
But as long as life goes on, it is naturally impossible to risk death to test the bottom line of Han and Wei.
Hu people can live a confused life, but Zhang Gong is not confused.
He could fully imagine that if Liangzhou really fell into the hands of the Han, then the Hu people's rebellion in Liangzhou that had lasted for more than a hundred years in the Later Han Dynasty would inevitably end at the hands of Feng Yong.
And the Liangzhou wealthy people who always like to "raise beards to respect themselves" have to change their methods if they don't want to go against the Han Dynasty.
If you are not willing to give in and want to take any action, you can refer to the Shu family.
At this time, Liangzhou looked calm on the surface, but underneath it was restless.
This restlessness comes from pressure from the Han State and from internal changes in Liangzhou.
When the superficial calm will be broken depends on when the two countries Shu and Wei will decide the outcome in the east.
"The battle at Xiaoguan must be real. When Feng Wenhe sent this person here at this time, he naturally didn't want to find some Hu girls to go back and sleep with him."
Zhang Gong stared at his son and repeated emphatically, "How many years have passed since the Battle of Longyou? Have you forgotten the methods used by the Han Dynasty so quickly?"
Zhang is not a stupid person after all. His own adults have reminded him of this. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood:
"Instigating rebellion against the barbarians in Liangzhou?!"
Zhang Gong nodded, "If my guess is correct, I guess it will come true."
This method is almost exactly the same as the one used in the Battle of Longyou: first instigate the Hu people in Liangzhou to rebel, and then just wait for the Shu army to march into Liangzhou, and the Hu people will stab them in the back!
"Sir, should we remind the Governor's Mansion?"
Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, Zhang still couldn't control himself at the moment he actually faced it, and asked with a slightly trembling voice.
"Remind them what to do?"
Zhang Gong closed his eyes and leaned on the couch:
To be continued...
