As long as Tianshui County is stable, Longyou will be half stable.

Moreover, now that the soldiers have been on the expedition for half a year and have won another battle, everyone is eagerly waiting for the rewards of military merit to be truly realized. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are ready to return home, so they cannot delay it any longer.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang nodded to Feng Yong again, "You have made the greatest contribution to this Northern Expedition!"

Feng Yong, who had been affirmed by the Han Prime Minister, returned to the small courtyard. Zhang Xingyi greeted him and smiled softly, "You're back?"

Like a virtuous woman waiting for Alang to come home.

"Well, I'm back."

Feng Yong was in a very happy mood and handed over the small wooden bucket in his hand.

"This is the fish I specially asked them to catch today. I will raise it for one night. After the mud is spit out, I will cook fish soup for Brother Zhang to replenish his health."

Zhang Xingyi took it and looked inside, only to see small palm-sized crucian carp tumbling together.

When she raised her head, she said in a soft voice, "Alang is interested."

"Ahem..." Feng Yong coughed dryly, "What did Si Niang say? Since I call the Zhang family brother, then naturally we are like a family member. Isn't this what I should do?"

Zhang Xingyi had a smile on her lips and affectionate eyebrows, "What A Lang said is that I won't be polite to A Lang."

Feng Yong was afraid of what she looked like now. He was a little nervous. He didn't know how to reply. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a man walking out of the front hall. His expression changed, "Old General Zhao?"

Zhao Yun, who had white hair and beard, stood there with a look of disdain on his face, "Why are you grinding so hard? Are you tired of it?"

When Zhang Xingyi heard someone suddenly interrupting the communication between the two, she said "Yeah" and ran away with a red face.

Feng Yong was left alone standing there awkwardly, not wanting to leave or not.

"You idiot, what are you doing standing there? Do you still want me to invite you in?"

Zhao Yun was already very old, and these children's personal affairs were no longer in his sight, so he didn't bother to care about them. "Hurry up, I have to go to the Prime Minister later."

When Feng Yong heard this, he was immediately excited.

Mr. Zhao, is something wrong?

As soon as Feng Yong walked into the front hall and sat down, Zhao Yun spoke directly, "You did well in this Northern Expedition."

"Old General Zhao, thank you very much."

Feng Yong quickly said modestly.

"It's good, it's good. In the military, merit speaks for itself. You contributed the most to this Northern Expedition. There's no need to be too humble. When serving in the military, sometimes you have to be tough, otherwise others will think you are easy to bully."

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "In this Northern Expedition, I finally see that there are successors to the Han Dynasty. Even if I am now underground, I dare to tell the late emperor that there is hope for the Han Dynasty to revive."

Although most of this generation of young men are still very young, it can be seen that they definitely have potential.

As long as the big man can survive the ten-year gap between the old and the new and allow them to grow up, it will definitely be a peak of talents, and it will never be possible to repeat the grand occasion of the late emperor gathering the world's talents.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun was greatly relieved. He poured a bowl of water and drank it as wine.

After drinking, he wiped the water drops on his beard and asked, "Let me ask you, are you sure you can appease the Hu people in Longyou this year?"

Although he didn't understand why Zhao Yun suddenly asked this, Feng Yong still replied, "It is impossible to get all the Hu people to return home, but at least the Hu people in Tianshui and Nan'an can be gathered together."

Zhao Yun listened and nodded, "You always think before you act. Since you dare to say these words in front of me, you must have some idea. Since you can guarantee that the barbarians in Tianshui and Nan'an counties will not move lightly,

What about Guangwei and Longxi?"

Feng Yong replied: "Longxi is too far away. Although Xiangwu in Longxi has been recovered, the Han Dynasty is unable to take care of the Didao side for the time being, so we can only protect the east side first."

"As for the Qiang and Hu in Guangwei County, most of them were moved here with the help of Cao Cao, or they were brought in on their own initiative. Cao Cao treated them well."

"I heard that this time the army went south from Jieting, and there were Hu people who responded to Cao's thieves. Therefore, the two counties can only be determined according to the actual situation."

Zhao Yun pondered, then shook his head, "You know better than me about Qiang and Hu matters. Since you said so, I will treat what you said as truth."

"When the time comes, in the two counties of Tianshui and Nan'an, if there is trouble caused by the Qiang, you will have to take responsibility. As for the two counties of Guangwei and Longxi, as you said, let's take a look at the situation first."

When Feng Yong heard what Zhao Yun said, he was a little confused at first, thinking that you sounded so loud, as if you could control me.

Then he suddenly remembered something again and said in silence, "The old general wants to guard Longyou?"

"I said you are smart." Zhao Yun smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "You can run an army when you mount a horse, and you can herd people when you dismount."

"Although the Prime Minister has asked you to take charge of Qiang and Hu affairs, I will have to trouble you in the future regarding the people's livelihood in Longyou. Don't let me deliberately shirk it when the time comes."

Feng Yong's head was pounding, and he couldn't turn around for a while.

Longyou must be guarded by a general. In fact, he has been wondering who Old Demon Zhuge will arrange to come over these days.

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, there are only three people who are the most qualified and most likely.

The first one is Wei Yan.

He had the experience of being the governor of Hanzhong alone, and was also the governor of Liangzhou, so he had the greatest possibility.

But what Feng Yong least expected was him.

After all, with that old man's bad character, Feng Yong really didn't want to have anything to do with him.

The second one is Wu Yi.

In this Northern Expedition, Wu Yi defeated Shanggui and Linwei. His contribution was not small, and he was also the governor of Guanzhong. At the same time, he was a relative of the emperor and the elder brother of the empress dowager. He had to guard Longyou, and no one could fault him.

I heard that General Wu has an upright character and likes to make friends with others.

In any case, my relationship with the palace is not too bad. I will let the palace spread the word when the time comes, and I hope that I will not get along too badly with General Wu.

The third one is Zhao Yun.

There is nothing much to say about this old man. He is the oldest and has the highest status.

But he is too old. Logically speaking, after the Northern Expedition, he should be allowed to return to Jincheng to recuperate. As a deterrent strategic nuclear weapon, he should generally not be dispatched easily.

Otherwise, once deployed, it will definitely attract the enemy's attention.

This time the troops were sent out of Xiegu, taking advantage of the old man's reputation to attract Cao Zhen and the main force of Guanzhong to Jikou, catching Longyou by surprise.
