"This reputation is spread from person to person. What about the personal guards? It was fine when I was here, but if I am really gone, who can guarantee what will happen next?"

"You didn't care about your reputation before, but how can you do the same now? If the Prime Minister doesn't have a reputation for justice, how can Liao Li, Li Yan and others bow down so easily?"

With that said, Zhao Yun leaned back on the chair and said slowly, "You will be the one who will take on heavy burdens from now on. From now on, you have to carefully protect this reputation."

"That's why I just said that when there are outsiders, you have to act like a king. If you have a high position but no dignity, how can you convince others?"

Although he didn't understand why the old man suddenly mentioned this, Feng Yong still replied respectfully: "You should always remember the words of the old general."

Seeing that Feng Yong had listened, Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction:

"The news from the Prime Minister from Hanzhong arrived yesterday. I have already sent someone to inform Pingxiang. What do you think of Cao Cao's movements this time?"

In order to strengthen local control, the Han Dynasty had a tradition of setting up post roads and building buildings on the post roads.

The reason why the Former Han Dynasty was able to firmly control the Western Regions is inseparable from the post road that stretched from Chang'an to the Western Regions.

After the late emperor acquired Hanzhong, he also built many postal booths between Jincheng and Hanzhong.

After Longyou was recaptured, in order to strengthen the connection between Hanzhong and Longyou, and with the help of Dongfeng Express, there were postal stations and postal booths every dozens of miles along the Western Han River.

Feng Yong and his party turned back halfway. Even if they rode on horseback, their speed was still not as fast as that of the post envoy from Hanzhong to Jicheng. This was because the post envoy had a relay from the post post box and kept running all the way.

"As early as July, Xiaowei's Mansion received news of frequent mobilization of Cao's army in Guanzhong. In my opinion, they are determined to fight this battle."

When talking about business, Feng Yong's expression became serious.

The caravans passing from Hanzhong or Longyou are all under the strict supervision of Wei State. It is not easy to find out the information.

The ones who can get valuable information are actually the rangers who have a wide network of friends.

Nanxiang, as the "Holy Land" in the hearts of knights all over the world, naturally has a unique advantage in using the social network of knights.

In the past few years, the rangers have acquiesced in the rules of Nanxiang, and few people use force to break the rules.

However, the reason why the Rangers are called Rangers is that they are more unruly and rebellious after all. They do not like to be restrained and always like to wander around.

Nanxiang will provide enough money for those who want to go out and see the world.

Anyway, for Nanxiang, there is always no shortage of money.

The only requirement is that at certain special times, or when conditions permit, they can help a group of brothers come to their door.

As for where these brothers come from, that doesn't matter.

We are all brothers within the four seas.

With the establishment of the Qiang Protector's Office, Feng Yong could finally legitimately take this intelligence network into his own hands.

In fact, the Governor's Office of Protecting Qiang had already warned the Governor's Office of Longyou and the Prime Minister's Office of Hanzhong about this movement.

According to Feng Yong's thinking, Cao Zhen could at best continue his actions at the beginning of the year and want to try to recapture Long Pass or Xiao Pass.

I didn't expect that the movement of Cao's thieves would be so big, and that all the troops from Guanzhong would be dispatched.

Not only did this go beyond Feng Yong's expectation, but even the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was caught off guard.

Zhao Yun also frowned a little at Cao Cao's big move: "The news from the Prime Minister said that Cao Cao's 100,000 troops are going to enter Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley. What do you think?"

Along the way, Feng Yong had deduced this countless times:

"Although Ziwu Valley is the shortest distance, it is difficult to travel. As long as the terrain at the entrance of the valley blocks the thieves, and then sends elite soldiers to cross the paths to harass the rear, what does Cao's 100,000-strong army have to fear?"

"I'm just afraid. There are several smooth roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong and Longyou. Cao's thieves pretending to go to Ziwu Valley is a plan to attack the east and attack the west."

"Sound in the east and attack in the west?" Zhao Yun was slightly startled. Thinking of the thirty-six strategies that Zhao Guang told him, he couldn't help but look at Feng Yong with a strange look:

"If it is true that he is attacking in the east and west, where do you think Cao Zhen will go?"

Feng Yong said without hesitation: "Of course it's Longguan and Xiaoguan."

Whether it is Baoxie Dao or Chencang Dao, they will eventually enter Hanzhong to face the old demon Zhuge. What is the point of attacking in the east and attacking in the west?

"Ziwu Valley is the farthest away from Longyou. If we first attract the prime minister's troops with a partial division and then attack Longyou by surprise, the time for Hanzhong to reinforce Longyou will be delayed by at least ten days."

Given the current situation in Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Longyou, whoever can regain his strength first and take the initiative to attack will be able to seize the opportunity.

If the big man attacks first, he can attack from both sides.

If Wei attacks first, it can choose its direction freely, and reinforcements will not be convenient between Longyou and Hanzhong.

Last time, the Han Dynasty took the advantage and captured Longyou.

This time, it seemed that Cao really wanted to take the initiative.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun pondered for a while, and then said slowly:

"On the other hand, if Cao Cao really sends troops to Hanzhong, Longyou's troops will not be able to reinforce Hanzhong as soon as possible."

Before receiving the news that Cao Cao was definitely attacking Hanzhong, Longyou could only stand still.

Otherwise, if we really have to mobilize troops to go to Hanzhong, and only learn that the real direction of Cao's thieves is Longyou halfway, then we can't look at each other from the beginning to the end.

Without timely radio communication, Longyou and Hanzhong were in a semi-independent situation, which tested the commander's strategic vision.

The Longyou Governor's Mansion cannot be moved lightly, and the only mobile force is to protect the Qiang Colonel's Mansion.

Zhao Yun looked at Feng Yong: "I am responsible for the area south of Longguan. Only Xiaoguan is located to the east of Longshan and far away from Jicheng. How about handing it over to the Qiang Protector's Office?"

Feng Yong stood up and clasped his fists: "The last general takes orders!"

The Longyou Dudufu is responsible for the southern section of Longshan, and is also responsible for reinforcing Hanzhong at any time.

The Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion is responsible for the northern section of Longshan, and at the same time, he must pay attention to the counterattack of the Cao thieves in Liangzhou.

After the two men who held the military power in Longyou finished their discussion, Feng Yong asked again:

"Old General, Cao Cao's elite cavalry is a formidable enemy. Although Xiaowei Mansion has formed a cavalry army in the past two years, Erlang has no formal experience in leading a cavalry army..."

It would be wrong to say that Zhao Guang had no experience in leading cavalry.

They had led some scattered cavalry before, but this was the first time for a regular cavalry of this size, so Feng Yong had to be careful.

Zhao Yun waved his hand impatiently before Feng Yong finished speaking:

"Back then, I was just a supporting general in Gongsun Bogui's army. Didn't he later become the late emperor's main rider?"

"Besides, does Liu Hun have experience in leading an army from the beginning? And he wants to lead the cavalry of the Governor's Mansion, so there is no way he can lend it to you."

"Erlang is also named Zhao after all. He has been with you for so many years. No matter how stupid he is, he can still learn something."

Seeing that the old man did not regard Zhao Guang as his son, Feng Yong felt calmer.
