It seems that I still need to communicate with Mengda.

Feng Yong's attitude towards Zhuge Liang was expected. Jiang Wan understood Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and pulling Fei Shi out could avoid his embarrassment.

At the same time, it also prevented the newly promoted Li Hong from hearing too many secrets.

"Back to Prime Minister, Yong Zi has certainly considered this matter."

When he first set up a ranch and a woolen workshop in Nanxiang County, Feng Yong certainly considered the threat from Mengda downstream.

But from Xincheng to Hanzhong, we are going against the current, so there are so many difficulties?

Cao Zhen later sent Sima Yi to do this, but Sima Yi could not go around Hanzhong until his death.

What's more, a political opportunist like Meng Da? How dare he work so hard for Cao Wei?

Of course, there are no absolutes in things, there are always eventualities.

Therefore, Nanxiang County naturally conducted an investigation on this waterway leading to the land of Cao Wei, and the person who conducted the investigation was Nanxiang County Lieutenant Huang Chong.

The county captain is in charge of the military affairs of the county.

"The person who investigated the Hanshui River in Nanxiang County at that time was Huang Chong. He had asked local elders many times and also explored the waterway himself. If the prime minister wants to know the details, he can be called in to inquire."

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he glanced at Feng Yong in surprise, "Have you really specifically inquired about this waterway?"

Feng Yong smiled, "Huang Chong mentioned this matter. Although he is young, he does have military acumen."

Hearing Feng Yong mention this, Zhuge Liang thought of the official document sent by Ma Di from Hanzhong: Since Feng Yong left Hanzhong with some people, Huang Chong had been training soldiers in Nanxiang County in a systematic way.

I heard that Huang Chong also led his people to find dangerous places on the edge of the Han River and built a fort capable of garrisoning a hundred people.

Nanxiang County Magistrate Luo Meng also asked about its purpose. Huang Chong explained that it was to prevent the Cao thieves from suddenly attacking in Xincheng. By stationing troops in dangerous places, they could not only detect warnings in advance, but also guard the dangerous places to prevent them from attacking.

Go ashore.

It can be so.

Feng Yong said that he had a military strategy in his heart, and the results were not false.

Thinking of Zhao Guang's bravery, Wang Xun's caution, Li Yi's cleverness, as well as Wang Ping and Liu Yin whom he recommended, all of whom had made great contributions in the battle to pacify Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but take a deep look at Feng Yong.

"Does the Prime Minister really want to communicate with Mengda?"

Feng Yong finally couldn't help but ask.

"What? Do you have any objection?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Feng Yong shook his head, "Meng Da is just a villain. Fei Zhengyi is right. But villains also have their uses. The Prime Minister once said that the Northern Expedition needs to wait for changes in the north."

"It would be best if Meng Da's rebellion is big enough and can cause trouble for the Cao thieves. Even if it doesn't work, there is no loss for the Han. So a letter is a simple matter, so why not do it?"

Zhuge Liang's face relaxed, he sighed and smiled, "In public affairs, he is upright and should be regarded as a gentleman, but he doesn't know how to adapt. If he can be like you, why is he depressed and frustrated?"

Speaking of Fei Shi, Feng Yong asked curiously, "Prime Minister, I remember Fei Gong... Wasn't Gongju sent by the late emperor a few years ago to go to Jingzhou to confer a title on Guan Junhou? How come he is now working in Yongchang County?

to the point?”

Thinking of Fei Shi choosing such a word, Feng Yong always felt a little unable to express it.

Public election?

Lift high?

"What does it have to do with you?"

Zhuge Liang didn't want to say more, "Don't ask this if it's okay."

Then he remembered that Feng Yong had just mentioned the Northern Expedition, and Zhuge Liang immediately looked at him with caution, "Who told you about the Northern Expedition?"

"I thought of it myself."

Feng Yong looked calm.

"The prime minister's Longzhong plan has been memorized for a long time. He also said that before fighting against the outside world, one must first settle the internal affairs. The prime minister must personally lead the army to march south, firstly to appease the southern barbarians, and secondly to train troops, right?"

"Now that the south has been settled, the soldiers have been trained, and the Han Dynasty is not short of food, it depends on when the soldiers and armor will be sufficient. Therefore, Pu Yuan went to look for good iron land. Is this the prime minister's concern for the Northern Expedition? In addition,

Once the bellows comes out, the big man will have good iron."

Speaking of the Northern Expedition, Feng Yong felt a little agitated, and couldn't help but say, "The late emperor was deeply concerned about the incompatibility between the Han and the traitors, and the instability of the royal family, so he once entrusted the great Han to the prime minister in the White Emperor."

"In order to live up to the late emperor's trust, the prime minister crossed Lu in the fifth month, penetrated deep into the barren land, and ate the sun. It was not because he did not feel sorry for himself, but because he was concerned about the king's career and could not gain peace in the capital of Shu, so he risked danger to honor the legacy of the late emperor.

meaning."

After hearing what Feng Yong said, Zhuge Liang stood up suddenly and said excitedly, "Well said! It really speaks to my heart! I led my army south, and Wang Lian tried to persuade me for a long time, but he didn't know what I was thinking.

."

Zhuge Liang's peach blossom eyes flashed extremely brightly, he looked at Feng Yong and said repeatedly, "I didn't expect that the person who knows me best in the world is actually a kid like you!"

Damn it!

When you finish talking, praise is enough. Halfway through, another brat comes along. What does that mean?

Should you scold me or praise me?

Feng Yongda was dissatisfied.

Zhuge Liang did not notice Feng Tubiao's thoughts.

He seemed to be unable to restrain his excitement. He stood up and walked back and forth. The feelings that he had suppressed in his heart for several years and could not be told to others were suddenly revealed by Feng Yong. He also said it to the bottom of his heart. He really wanted to let him know.

His son regarded Feng Yong as his confidant.

It was rare for Feng Tubao to see Old Demon Zhuge like this, and he felt very proud.

I thought to myself that most of those words were spoken by "Launchu Shibiao". Regardless of the authenticity of the article, it must be what you feel.

Thinking of the malicious slanders and conjectures made by the sunspots of later generations, he sighed deeply in his heart. People of later generations are proud of their lack of moral integrity, but they think that the ancients also had no moral integrity. This is really a shame.

"Tell me, if it is the Northern Expedition, how should we march?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't control his mood and actually asked Feng Yong about such national plans.

When Feng Yong heard this, he fell silent for a moment and felt a little depressed.

Yes, how can the Northern Expedition be successful?

Most of the later generations, whether they are black or pink, have a pessimistic attitude towards the Northern Expedition.

Even the greatest optimism can only account for Longyou at most.

Seize Tongguan and occupy Yongzhou... Stop dreaming!

When Zhuge Liang saw Feng Yongyong speaking, his face showed slight disappointment. He thought to himself that he was still young after all, and it was already rare to think about the Northern Expedition. How could I force him to think about such a big thing?

Just as he was comforting himself, Feng Yong unexpectedly spoke, "Prime Minister, I have been thinking about the Northern Expedition for a long time! With the national power of the Han Dynasty, compared with Cao Wei, we are weak and the enemy is strong. Therefore, the Northern Expedition,

You can only be careful and don’t be careless.”

"Well said, keep talking!"

Zhuge Liang did not expect that Feng Yong would seriously think about this issue.

Feng Yong raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "To defeat the bandits in Hanzhong, there are five roads, from east to west, namely Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road, Chencang Road, and finally lead out of Qishan Mountain."

"The Ziwu Road is the closest, but it is the most dangerous. The army cannot pass through it, so at most it can only go by partial divisions, not the main army. There are several high mountains that need to be climbed on the way to the Tangluo Road. It is not easy to march, so the army cannot go."

"The only ones left are the Baoxie Road and the Chencang Road. Back then, the Marquis of Huaiyin built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, so these two roads were said to be the best. The Baoxie Road is the easiest to walk and can lead to large armies, but if you go out from this way, you will definitely encounter Cao Cao

An army of thieves.”

"If the Prime Minister wants to have a decisive battle with Cao Wei's army, this is the most appropriate way to go."

"No." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "As you just said, I am weak and the enemy is strong. If we can use tactics to defeat the enemy and avoid a head-on fight, that would be the best. This method can only be regarded as the last choice."

Feng Yong nodded.

That's right, Shu is weak and Wei is strong, so fighting head-on is a bad idea.

"At the exit of Chencang Road, there is Chencang City. One man is guarding the gate, and no one can open it. The army cannot move. The enemy only needs a few thousand defenders to stop a hundred thousand troops. How difficult!"

"Then we can only go to Qishan."

Zhuge Liang made his intention clear.
