MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1232 Du Yuankai

  Chapter 1232 Du Yuankai

   It was precisely because of lack of preparation in all aspects that Feng Duhu did not think about a battle of Changping with Sima Yi.

  Because I can't afford it.

  Of course, if you really want to do what the Qin State did back then, it is not impossible to forcefully mobilize the power of the whole country at the expense of the power of the people, and have a Han-Wei version of the Changping War.

  If this is the case, it is necessary to win the support of all the aristocratic families and upstarts in the Han Dynasty, and even compromise with them.

  In this world, there are people in the business of decapitation, but no one in the business of losing money.

  To get the support of those gluttonous, how much concessions should the imperial court make, and how much benefits should be given to them later?

   Not to mention that this kind of thing is easy to form path dependence. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. If there are three, you don’t want to consider other ways.

   Later generations have such strong control power, but once they are kidnapped by a certain industry, wouldn’t they have to be too big to fail?

  Even if I knew it was a urinal, I still had to pinch my nose and pick it up again and again to use it.

  I know that industrial upgrading is the best way, but I just want to take a breath, and take another breath...

  Feng Duhu knew his family affairs because of his own family.

  The prime minister was able to pull Ji Han out of the swamp of the aristocratic family, but Feng Duhu thought he did not have the ability and courage of the prime minister.

  He can only be Xiao Gui Cao Sui, insisting on the line set by the prime minister before his death.

  The generals on the front line can ignore the rear, the overall situation, and only consider how to perform meritorious service.

  But Feng Duhu can't.

  He needs to consider the problem from a global perspective.

   Command the Shangdang army, fight the bandit army to the death, and regain the Shangdang.

   This is not only the hope of the frontline soldiers who are eager to make contributions, but also the hope of the court.

   But Sima Yi is an old tortoise, and his defensive ability cannot be underestimated.

   If there is a stalemate, the risk is a bit high.

   Not only will there be people inside the big man who want to move around, but even Wu Guo will be able to wake up from his dream with a smile.

   "According to what Chuhu means, what should we do?"

   Zhang Yi asked.

  Feng Duhu smiled, but did not answer directly:

   "I came all the way from Caoqiaoguan. I'm new here. I don't know as much about the situation in Shangdang as you do."

   "So how can we decide in one word? It is better to ask the opinions of the officers and men in the army."

   This remark, not to mention Zhang Yi, even Zhang couldn't help but want to complain:

   You just denied our opinion, and now you want to ask more opinions from the generals?

   Probably seeing what the generals were thinking, Feng Duhu pointed in the direction of Shangdang:

   "I know you are eager to make contributions, but you have to take a long-term view in everything."

   "To be honest, it is not impossible to go north and attack the eldest son, but how to guard against Gaodu in the south and avoid fighting on two fronts."

   As he spoke, he turned around and looked around at the people behind him, and said meaningfully:

   "And how to lay down the eldest son as soon as possible, so as to avoid the stalemate between Qin and Zhao in the Changping war, are issues that need to be considered."

   "There are still two or three days before the army gathers. You can think about it again in these two or three days..."

  Running over in a hurry, he was new here. After standing for so long and talking so much, Feng Duhu also felt that he had to take a rest before talking.

  Zhang Yizhang and others are young and strong, and they are all representatives of middle and senior officers in the Han Army.

  It is a good thing to let them think independently and cultivate their initiative.

  After all, the current big man is no longer the big man in the prime minister's era, and can already afford mistakes and failures.

  If not, in the past, Wei Yan alone would have cost half his life for the big man. In ten or eight years, he might not be able to breathe.

  So Feng Duhu doesn't have to be like the prime minister, he has to grasp the big and small things in his hands to be at ease.

   It's just that this time, the problem Feng Duhu left for the few people seems to be a bit big.

  How to lay down the eldest son as soon as possible, but also avoid the stalemate in the Battle of Changping.

   "From Gaopingguan to the eldest son, the mountain road is mostly dangerous, and it may be a bit difficult to rush there."

   "The thieves occupied the eldest son for a long time. According to the news from Shi Zhongrong (that is, Shi Bao), he fought with Sima Division at Gaoping Pass, but the eldest son's thieves did not show up."

   "So in my opinion, I'm afraid it's strengthening the eldest son's defenses, and even Danshui..."

  The words are not exhaustive, but everyone in the discussion knows what Danshui means.

  In the Battle of Changping, the two sides of Qin and Zhao, on the whole, used Danshui as the boundary and saw each other repeatedly.

  If the eldest son’s bandit army did not show up during the battle of Gaopingguan, and they used this time to build a defense line east of Danshui, then it would be basically impossible to surprise the eldest son.

  But the requirement of the Central Protectorate is to bring down the eldest son as quickly as possible.

   It's really embarrassing.

  Two days later, Jiang Bin, the prefect of Hedong, personally escorted the grain and grass to arrive. Seeing Zhang Bao and others, they were all frowning, and said that something went wrong ahead.

   I didn't know the whole story until I asked.

  Jiang Bin can also be regarded as the second generation of officials, and he often met Zhang Bao when he was in Shu.

  Combined with the battle of the Shangdang, the hearts of the people in Hedong are floating. One of them is the governor of Hedong, and the other is the general who defends Hedong.

   Naturally, it is necessary to deal with each other frequently and cooperate with each other, which is considered familiar.

  Hearing what Zhang Bao said at this time, he couldn't help laughing and said:

   "General Zhang is confused for a while!"

  Zhang Bao was taken aback: "What does Mr. Jiang Fu mean by this?"

  Jiang Bin smiled:

   "According to someone, the Central Capital Protector didn't intend to attack the eldest son, or in other words, he didn't expect to be able to beat the eldest son immediately, so he made this statement."

   "Don't hit the eldest son?"

   Zhang Bao frowned even more when he heard the words, "The thieves occupy Shangdang, and the imperial court appoints all of them to protect them. Isn't it just to regain Shangdang?"

   "Shangdang will definitely recover, but how to recover is particular."

  Jiang Bin became interested, and explained patiently, after all, it is rare to discuss a war with someone in the army.

  In these years, whoever has aspirations, who doesn't want to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield?

  Jiang Bin simply bent down, took a few small stones and placed them in position.

   "As the Central Capital Protector said, if you send troops directly to the north, you will inevitably face a stalemate in the Changping area, and you must also be careful of the Gaodu City bandit army coming from the south."

  He pointed to the stone representing Gaodu City, "But if you go south from Gaoping Pass, attack Gaodu City first."

  He pointed to the two stones representing Gaoping Pass and the eldest son, "Thieves will never dare to cross Gaoping Pass to support Gaodu."

  When he said this, Zhang Bao immediately seemed to realize something, and he squatted down:

   "Does the Guardian of Zhongdu want to go south and attack Gaodu first?"

  Jiang Bin shook his head:

   "How do I know what the Central Guard thinks? This is just an analysis of the battle situation I heard from others, and I think it makes sense."

   "After hearing what you said at this time, I feel that going north to attack the eldest son is really not the first choice."

  The two of them were talking, when suddenly someone above their heads asked:

   "Who did you hear it from?"

   The two of them were startled, and they suddenly raised their heads. It turned out that Zhongduhu was standing behind him at some point.

   Zhang Bao sensed that someone was coming, but he only knew which colleague it was, but he didn't care.

  Hedong is now considered to be the front line. It is understandable for the governor of Hedong to participate in military discussions.

  Not to mention the request made by the Central Guard two days ago, one more person to discuss it, and one more opinion.

   There is an entire staff group in the Central Capital Protectorate!

   It was Zhongduhu who didn't expect to come.

   "Meet the Guardian of the Central Government..."

  Zhang Bao and Jiang Bin quickly stood up and saluted.

  Feng Duhu waved his hand, indicating that he should not be too polite, but looked at Jiang Bin:

   "Mr. Jiang Fu hasn't said anything yet, who's analysis is he listening to?"

  Jiang Bin said "uh":

   "Returning to the Central Protectorate, it is a student named Du Yu."

  Feng Duhu frowned when he heard this, "Du Yu? A student?"

   "Exactly. Du Yu's style name is Yuan Kai, but he was born in the Jingzhao Du family. His father, Du Shu, first offended the puppet Wei officials in his early years, and also had a quarrel with Sima Yi, so he had to resign and live in seclusion."

   "Later, when the Great Han regained Guanzhong, Du Yuankai was recommended and admitted to the college. Two years ago, he was sent to Hedong to participate in the Tianmu New Deal. It stands to reason that he should return to Chang'an to study at the college this year."

   "It's just that I didn't expect that when the Shangdang war broke out, Hedong needed manpower to help, so I stayed in Hedong."

  Jiang Bin saw Zhongduhu seemed interested in this student, so he quickly explained in detail.

   This is not surprising. After all, if Du Yu really wants to enter the academy for further studies, he might call Feng Duhu the head of the mountain.

   "Du Yuankai was weak in his youth, but he is quite talented. He practiced in Hedong, and his credits are full marks."

   "In the past few months, I have assisted the prefect's office in coordinating the food and grass of all parties, recruiting civilians, and not missing a single one. It is really rare."

   "Du Yu, Du Yuankai..."

  Feng Duhu said the name thoughtfully, nodded, and asked again:

   "Where is this Du Yuankai now?"

   "Back to the Central Guard, now he is verifying the grain and grass for handover."

  Feng Duhu nodded:

   "From Jiang Fujun's words, it seems that this Du Yuankai is indeed talented. When the situation stabilizes, let him return to Chang'an as soon as possible."

  True talents, as long as they can enter the academy and obtain a formal way to become an official, they will have better opportunities to display their talents in the future.

  Although the big man now uses both the imperial examination and the imperial examination, and with Feng Duhu's identity and status, it is naturally easy to recommend someone.

  But as a person who pioneered the imperial examination, he must try his best to guide the development of the imperial examination.

   Besides, Du Yu has already half-stepped into the gate of the academy, so there is no need to overthrow the seedlings.

   "Here."

   "Just now what Mr. Jiang Fu said is very thoughtful." Feng Duhu changed the subject and returned to the war, "You can bring up this idea and discuss it with everyone."

   After finishing his speech, Feng Duhu looked at Zhang Bao's eyes, with a strange smile on his face, turned and left.

  Go back to Shuai Zhang, look left and right, there is no one.

   "Where's Ji Yan?"

   "Back to Junhou, Pei Langjun said that he got news from his friend and went out."

"Oh, that's how it is."

  Pei Jiyan is Pei Xiu, Feng Duhu's newest disciple.

   When it comes to the big families in Hedong, the Pei family can't avoid it.

  The Patriarch of the Pei family, Pei Qian, wanted to put his concubine Pei Xiu on the throne, and Feng Duhu was also happy to see it succeed, so naturally he wanted to bring Pei Xiu here.

  Hedong is the foundation of the Pei family. It is not surprising that Pei Xiu met friends here.

  Feng Duhu sat in his seat, closed his eyes slightly, and tapped on the table with his fingers.

  The grain and grass have arrived, and the army has almost arrived.

  The next step is to take real action.

   I just don’t know what happened to the Tiger Army led by Jiang Wei and Liu Yin at Hangu Pass?

   Also on the general side, counting the time, there should be news...

   "Sir, I'm back."

  A voice sounded from outside the curtain.

  Feng Duhu opened his eyes, "Come in."

  Pei Xiu walked in and saluted Feng Duhu:

   "Meet sir."

   "Yes." Feng Duhu glanced at him, but did not move.

  Pei Xiu stepped forward, reached out to touch the teacup on the table, and found that it was a little cold, so she picked it up and refilled a hot cup.

   "I heard that you are going to meet a friend?"

"yes."

   "I didn't expect you to have friends in the army."

   "Mr. Hui, the student's good friend is not a member of the military. He is actually a student of the academy. He is just doing an internship and has not yet enrolled."

  Pei Xiu showed some embarrassment, "Two years ago, when he was going out for an internship, he asked me for my opinion. I suggested that he come to Hedong."

   As he spoke, there was a wry smile on his face: "I didn't expect it to be harming him. If it were another place, he should have returned to Chang'an to enroll."

   "He's not the only one, this group of students are all like this." Feng Duhu said indifferently, "If they can seize the opportunity, they can also increase their credits. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Who can say good or bad?"

   "Sir said so."

  Pei Xiu replied, "The student went to see that friend, and wanted to comfort him, but he took it easy and said the same thing as my husband."

  Feng Duhu was a little interested when he heard it:

   "Oh? That good friend of yours, he should be young in the future. It's rare to have such an idea. What's his name?"

   "Mr. Hui, his name is Du Yu, his character is Yuan Kai, but..."

   "Guanzhong Dushi?"

  Pei Xiu was taken aback, a little surprised: "Mister also knows Du Yuankai?"

  Hearing Du Yu's name continuously throughout the day, Feng Duhu couldn't help looking at Pei Xiu thoughtfully, and asked:

   "You are Du Yuankai's friend, tell me what you think about this person."

  Pei Xiu heard his husband ask such a question, and his heart was beating a little. He had a premonition that his good friend seemed to be lucky.

   "Du Yuankai's talent is ten times better than that of students."

   "Oh?" Feng Duhu looked Pei Xiu up and down, "Ten times your size?"

   Then he shook his head, "It's over, I don't believe it."

   Who is Pei Xiu?

  That is the father of the map, the person who was specially named by the United Nations on the moon.

   "Sir, please listen to the students' explanation."

  Pei Xiu saluted respectfully and said solemnly:

   "If you only talk about knowledge, students naturally dare not belittle themselves and think that they are not inferior to Du Yuankai."

   "But Du Yuankai dabbled in everything except learning, civil affairs, military affairs, calendar, laws and regulations, arithmetic, history, engineering, etc., which is difficult for students to follow."

  Feng Duhu heard the words and said in surprise: "You are actually an all-rounder?"

   "According to the students, the world can be called an all-rounder, only Mr. Du Yuankai, but he has indeed dabbled in a wide range of fields."

  Recalling Jiang Bin's analysis today, Feng Duhu also said that Du Yu was talented in military affairs.

  Now it seems that I still underestimate this person.

   Feng Duhu walked back and forth a few steps, and finally couldn't help but ordered:

   "Go ahead and call Du Yuankai over."

   "Here!"
