Zhao Guang and Huang Wudie stayed at the mansion of the Colonel Protecting Qiang for a few days, and rushed back to Jicheng to be with their parents before the Lantern Festival.

After all, Zhao Yun's eldest son Zhao Tong stayed in Jincheng, so Zhao Guang, who was in Longyou, naturally had to fulfill his duties as a son.

Four or five days after the Shangyuan Festival, Li Yi and Yang Wanwan finally arrived in Pingxiang from Hanzhong.

After spring begins, the weather gets warmer and the ice and snow begin to melt.

The two of them were walking in a hurry, and their boots and trouser legs were covered with mud and water.

I took off the felt hat on my head and felt steam rising.

Feng Yong heard that the two people had arrived and went to greet them personally. Seeing their appearance, he couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Brother!"

The two of them shouted in unison.

"Come in quickly, don't catch a cold."

It is most likely to catch a cold when you are suddenly warm and then cold.

The two followed Feng Yong back to the house, and the servants quickly brought hot ginger water.

"I thought I could arrive in time during the Lantern Festival, but I didn't expect that I would be late even if I hurriedly rushed."

Li Yi took a sip of ginger water and said.

Feng Yong waved his hand, "Between you and me, brothers, there is no need to use these polite words."

"After spring begins, brother will start to organize the army, right? Wei Ran can't delay, so he hurriedly hurries."

Li Yi explained.

Yang Wanwan smiled cautiously at Feng Yong from the side.

Although he followed Feng Yong for a while, he followed Zhao Guang more and couldn't let go for a while.

Feng Yong was a little surprised, "Oh, Wenxuan's information is quite good."

"How could I ever have such ability? The Prime Minister just reminded me."

Although he knew that the Han Dynasty Prime Minister always had to personally take care of every detail, protecting the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion was definitely his focus.

But Old Demon Zhuge even had the heart to guess his next plan, which still surprised Feng Junhou.

"The Prime Minister cares about me."

"Brother, I'm joking. I don't know how many people are involved in the palace of the Colonel Protecting Qiang. How can the Prime Minister not care about it?"

Li Yi took another sip of ginger water and nodded vaguely.

Feng Yong nodded to express his understanding.

Li Yi just stopped talking. Needless to say, he changed the topic again:

"What's more, I haven't even met my nieces and nephews yet, so I always have to come over and see them in a hurry."

Hearing Li Yi mention his children, his face was filled with smiles: "It's not enough if we don't have enough greeting gifts."

Li Yi agreed wholeheartedly.

After a while, Guan Ji appeared in the front hall, with two wet nurses behind her, each holding a child.

Li Yi and Yang Wanwan quickly stood up and bowed their heads in salute: "I've met my sister-in-law!"

Guan Ji nodded and said with a smile: "They are not outsiders."

Then he motioned to the wet nurse to bring the baby forward.

Li Yitan turned his head and looked at the tender and pink baby in his swaddling clothes, feeling very fond of it.

He touched his body, took out the gift he had prepared a long time ago, and carefully stuffed it into the child's swaddling clothes.

One of the children screamed "ho ho" and stretched out his chubby hands. After shaking them twice, the wet nurse quickly wrapped them up again.

"Is this a nephew or a niece?"

Li Yi saw it strangely and asked.

Feng Yong stretched his head and took a look.

Hmm, is this a son or a daughter?

"It's Shuangshuang, this child is so active..."

Feng Junhou relied on his experience and just said something, but Guan Ji retorted: "This is Ah Chong."

After saying that, she also felt strange, "We are both very active on weekdays, why are you so quiet at this time?"

Feng Yong looked at his little daughter, and saw that this little lady was lying quietly in her wet nurse's arms with her big black eyes open. She was not as naughty as before.

On the contrary, Ah Chong, who usually doesn't move much, is still struggling hard.

Li Yi laughed after hearing the past stories of the nephew and niece, and couldn't help but get closer.

"It seems that this Chong has a close affinity with me."

"Ho ho..."

Ah Chong laughed so hard that his mouth watered.

Li Yi received Ah Chong's feedback and felt even more fond of it.

It wasn't until the child was taken away that Li Yi sat back down with some reluctance.

"You are already married, and you will have two more children when the time comes."

Feng Yong looked at his appearance and said jokingly.

Li Yi nodded politely, "That's exactly what I meant."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled heartily.

After finishing the household chores, I started to turn to official matters:

"I came here in such a hurry this time, but what else is going on with the Prime Minister?"

As a member of the Prime Minister's Office, Li Yi traveled between Pingxiang and Nanzheng, and the news he brought was basically related to the Xinghan Hui.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the Prime Minister heard that my brother once conquered the Yanniu tribe of Hanjia County to reopen the road between Yuexun and Jincheng."

"That's why I specially asked my younger brother to come over and ask for details."

Feng Yong was startled, "Why does the Prime Minister care about this?"

As early as the Pre-Han Dynasty, the imperial court had the ability to find out the detailed household registration population of Yuexun.

Yuexun County governs Qiongdu, and there was originally a road connecting it with Jincheng.

However, in the Later Han Dynasty, this avenue was interrupted for more than a hundred years due to the rebellion of the barbarians.

After Feng Yong led his troops to pacify Yuexun, he used both kindness and power to subdue the Yaniu tribe that was entrenched between Yuexun and Hanjia counties.

Only then has the biggest obstacle blocking the avenue been removed.

Then let people reopen this avenue.

He led his army north to Hanzhong to participate in the Northern Expedition, and he took exactly this path.

In recent years, with the development of Sunshui River Valley and the continuous immigration of Han people.

There are also measures to implement measures such as relocating the Yi people, Qiang people and Di people out of the mountains and forests, settling down for farming, and grazing in designated areas.

Yuexun County is prospering day by day, and the production of grain and the number of livestock are constantly rising.

At the same time, it was also an important troop source area for the Wudang Flying Army of the Qiang School Lieutenant Mansion.

The avenue between Yuexun and Jincheng has become increasingly important.

Thinking of this, Feng Yong's heart moved. He looked at Yang Wanwan who was sitting aside, and then turned back to Li Yi.

"Prime Minister, is he... interested in governing the Qiang and Hu people in Wenshan County and Hanjia County?"

Li Yi looked shocked, and then gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Brother is really awesome!"

"Wei Ran stayed in Yinping for so long, and then moved to Hanzhong. In addition, some news came from Yuexi."

"I was a little surprised at first. Now that I hear you asking this question, if I can't guess it anymore, I'd be really too slow."

Feng Yong explained.

Yuexun was originally half of the Xinghan Hui's base. He could get information from there. As we all know, there was nothing to hide.

When Yang Wanwan went to Yinping, he didn't just go to see the adults in his family.

Later I moved to Hanzhong, so naturally I didn’t go there to celebrate the New Year.

From south to north, the four border counties of the Han Dynasty are: Yuexun, Hanjia, Wenshan, and Yinping.

To the east of the junction of Wenshan County and Hanjia County, there is Shu County, where Jincheng is located.

However, these two counties are inhabited by barbarians and barbarians, and rebellions often occur.
