Let’s talk about Feng Yan’s visit to the county government with the fifth reunion, but he caught a glimpse of a corner of the courtyard. After stopping and looking at it, he secretly praised: “It’s quite neat. It seems that Bo Yu is really treated both inside and outside. He is very appropriate in all aspects of the big and small. It’s good.”

After entering the hall, the fifth reunion stepped away from the servant and asked with a look away from the seat, but listened to Feng Yan's talk:

"On the way to Yecheng, I saw that Wei Cheng County was plain and broad. It was based on Hebei's Shutou and was the waist of Jizhou. This county was in the past Dongyang of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. Wei obtained the land in the Warring States Period, and was powerful in the Three Jins and later entered Zhao."

"When Qin was strong, he planned to take Ye first. Qin Shihuang ordered Wang Jian to spend hundreds of thousands of people away from Zhang, Ye, and Zhao did not support Qin. Since the Chu and Han dynasties, Wei County has been called Xionggu, and Bo Yu trained troops to accumulate grain, so he could stand in troubled times."

"But the mountains and rivers in Wei are not very good."

Feng Yan said: "The river flows, leaving the danger of the river in the east without the danger of the big river, and the red eyebrows of the refugees can easily invade the county border."

He also pointed to the north: "From the north, facing the county of Zhao, now Handan, Guangping's government has been returned to the local tyrants and powerful people. The descendants of the former Han Dynasty, the county 2,000 stones surrendered to it, but it was just a promise. Once the world changes, the chariots and cavalry will come out of Handan, and there is no danger to defend, and you can reach Ye's suburbs in two days."

Having said that, on the other hand, it would take two days to surround Handan from Wei. Fortunately, with the assistance of Feng Qin, the former agent, Liang Qiling was willing to cooperate. Liang Qi County in the middle of Yecheng and Handan had been controlled by the fifth reunion.

"At this point, Wei Cheng's danger was left in the west and south. There was a military Sima guarding the white horse's footprint in the south, so it was worry-free, and the Fukou Pass leading to Shangdang in the West became the key."

The western boundary of Weicheng County is Taihang Mountain. There are eight passes in Taihang, and the fourth pass is Fukou Pass. It is located in Shexian County, which is upstream of the Zhang River. The roads are narrow and long, such as the throat.

Speaking of this, Feng Yan paused for a moment, leaned forward and approached the fifth reunion, and smiled and said, "But I heard that the Sui County Fukou Xing is not controlled by Bo Yu's hands. It's like the throat being strangled by someone else, unable to breathe, and can take his life at any time."

The fifth reun praised him and said, "Jingtong hits the point!"

Although Feng Yan's talent is not top-notch, this time he talked about the key point. The Li family of Wu'an is entrenched in the three northwest counties, and the three counties are all under his jurisdiction. Not only does it control the iron ore, but it also occupies the important road of Fukou in Shexian County. The world is fine, but once chaos arises, the fifth relationship cannot be at peace.

This is also the reason why he will kill Wu'an and Li's family no matter what!

Feng Yan paid attention to the situation in Wei when General Gengshi's shogunate, and the fifth reunion gave him a gift for no reason and asked him to help modify the Zhu Tufeng marching route, so that he could enter Hedong from Guanzhong and pass through Shangdang Linshe County and pass Weicheng County. The intention was simply too obvious.

Feng Yan suggested: "Boyu's old subordinates wanted to seize Shexian from Shangdang, but they had to cooperate with Shangdang Dayin to let the army replenish their food and fodder."

"Even if you take down the Wukou Xing, it is not considered safe. In the past, the Qin army in Shangdang was rescinded and Hanoi was facing Dongyang, so Ye was like a lice in his mouth. Therefore, no matter what, he should have a good relationship with Shangdang County, so he would not have any worries about the back."

The court did not allow the county 2,000 stones to cross the jurisdiction and engage with neighbors, but now the world is in such chaos, Feng Yan has taken the car with the treatment of the three dukes and nine ministers, so who cares about these things?

As a place where four battles were fought, Wei Cheng could not be enemies everywhere. Moreover, if he wanted to bring his grandfather and his tribe in his hometown to go to Hedong, the Shangdang line was also a shortcut.

Wu Lun knew it in his heart, but he only sighed on purpose and looked embarrassed, saying that there was no human body to match him with Shangdang Dayin.

"Why not let me go?"

In order to increase his weight, Feng Yan also fought hard and volunteered: "I am familiar with Bao Yong, the Gongcao clerk of Shangdang Dayin, and he is a close friend."

Wu Lun heard of this person's name: "Bao Yong, is it the son of Bao Sili?"

Bao Xuan was a former Han Si Li's lieutenant, and was deeply loved by the people. He was imprisoned for angering the prime minister. After that, the first Imperial Academy movement in history was created. Hundreds of Imperial students stopped the car and knocked on the palace to write a letter to save him. Although the man was temporarily saved, when Wang Mang took office, Bao Xuan was loyal to the Han Dynasty and refused to rely on him, he still killed Bao Xuan on an excuse, making this man a famous martyr who died for the Han Dynasty.

"Bao Yong hid in Shangdang at that time, and was summoned by the Great Yin and was a subordinate official. He often set up his house. Because he was spared from difficulties, he has now become the leader of Cao Zheng, who is trusted by Shangdang, and obeys his advice. If I go to lobby, I can let Boyu's old subordinates pass by Shangdang without any worries, and then they can form an alliance with Shangdang Dayin and protect each other in troubled times."

The fifth reunion bowed to him: "If I can get the help of Jingtong, I can rest assured, but Jingtong's official duties in the General Gengshi Shogunate..."

"I don't care about Boyu." Feng Yan sighed: "General Lian did not listen to my advice and insisted on trying to die with Chimei. In addition, the officials below were instigated to the soldiers to harm the people, and I was disillusioned with the royal army and had already resigned from the official position."

Wu Lun asked about Lian Dan's military arrangements again, and Feng Yan didn't have to pretend. He said everything. When talking about the success or failure between the King's Army and the Red Eyebrow, Feng Yan said: "If General Lian Dan was defeated by himself, although he had been defeated by Jucheng, he was always cautious and would never underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. If he fought steadily, his winning rate would be about 50%.

"But I heard that the chief general is the Grand Master Wang Kuang."

"Yes, if the Taishi conquers himself, this person will be stubborn and eager to succeed, but he can catch the Red Eyebrow off guard, and his winning rate will be about 40%.

"Where are the two working together?"

Feng Yan sighed: "Only 30% of it, and this is also because I have to leave General Lian."

After the conversation, although Feng Yan was not ready to join the fifth reunion openly or grant him a Cao official, the fifth reunion insisted on handing over the seal of the Lord's Bo to Feng Yan.

"The master is poor and the job is poor, but I am willing to share half of the salary as Jingtong's salary. From then on, Jingtong will be my military advisor!"

...

What Feng Yan liked was Wei Cheng's An Ding, and his temporary official position was second.

Moreover, the princess has a very high status, and is on par with Gongcao. Because she was attracted by the 2,000-stone as her confidant, she was even more important. This position was originally reserved for Ren Guang in Nanyang, but now it is given to Feng Yan.

But after receiving the favorable encounter with the fifth reunion, Feng Yan was still a little proud, thinking that Wei Cheng's chief aide had taken it down.

Calculate the days, the old subordinates of the Fifth Reun should have entered Hedong and were about to enter Shangdang. Without further ado, he immediately took the gift of the Fifth Reun and began to travel to Shangdang County. After all, She County is still in the hands of the Li family in Wu'an. Therefore, Feng Yan could only go south first, enter Shangdang from Baixing in Houjiao County (Hanoi), and traveled hard on the narrow Yangyan Sakae. In mid-May, he arrived at the Changzicheng, the capital of Shangdang County, in the middle of May.

Shangdang belongs to Bingzhou and is located on the west side of Taihang. The land is high and broad, but there are more mountains and the land is slightly barren, with less than half of the population in Wei. However, Feng Yan also saw a rare peace here. The people said that Gongcao Bao Yong assisted the Dayin with good fortune.

Feng Yan still entered the city as Bao Yong's old friend and went straight to the Bao family. At this time, Bao Yong was still busy in the county government. Because Feng Yan had come here a few times in previous years, the family supervisor recognized him, so he invited him to entertain him first and entertained him in the courtyard.

Bao Yong was proficient in the Secretariat and attached great importance to etiquette. Logically speaking, Bao Yong's wife should go out at this time and welcome Feng Yan first to hold a banquet. But in the end, hello to Bao Yong's stepmother, which made Feng Yan feel something was wrong.

He then whispered to Bao's housekeeper: "Where is the young master of your family?"

The family supervisor raised his eyes, because Feng Yan was not an outsider, so he whispered to him: "I've been retired by my master."

"What!?"

Feng Yan was stunned. Bao Yong and his first wife had been married for many years and had raised several children. They respect each other every day, so they could just leave. Bao Yong was also a lustful person who disliked his wife.

The family supervisor explained: "It's because Shaojun scolded something bad in front of his mistress."

Feng Yan suddenly realized that after Bao Yong's father was killed by Wang Mang, he and his stepmother were left in the family. Although he was not his biological mother, Bao Yong was filial and served food sooner or later. Bao's wife really violated his taboo, so she would have a good time!

The family supervisor shook his head: "Otherwise, Shaojun was actually just scolding a dog in front of his mistress."

"After seeing this, the head of the family blamed the young master and said, "Everyone is respectful. The guests did not scold the dog before. Now you scold the dog in front of your mother. What's more disrespectful? It can be seen that you have no respect in your heart. Since you despise my mother, you are not my wife'!"

As a result, his wife, who was confused, cried and apologized, begging Bao Yong to give him a chance to reform, but Bao Yong refused to listen.

Feng Yan was stunned, but this was indeed Bao Yong's style. He was a person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes and was very stern in his work. For example, he worked in the county government and would never come back until dark.

Sure enough, until Feng Yan was tired of sitting, Bao Yong returned to the mansion. When he learned that his old friend Feng Yan had come, he did not change his official uniform and came directly to meet him.

Feng Yan was no longer sleepy and was full of energy, because the stubborn Bao Yong could not easily convince him.

He had heard of one thing. Last year, a man who claimed to be a court servant came to Shangdang Station, and Dayin Zhao Xing was about to greet him. But Bao Yong suspected that the man was a liar because he had no edicts and no envoys, so he was afraid that it was a fake, so Dayin could not go there.

But the county magistrate didn't take it seriously. Bao Yong actually pulled his blade in front of Zhao Xing and stopped the horse, shouting: "Zhao Taiyin and me and the kindness of Reborn, even if you are offended today, you will never put you in danger." A few days later, Wang Mang issued an edict to search for fake envoys. He was straightforward, keen and alert, which was Bao Yong's background and he paid great attention to principles in his work.

So, I came to "alliance" with Shangdang this time for the fifth reunion. Although I patted my chest before leaving and said it was okay, Feng Yan knew that the most saddest hurdle was his friend Bao Yong. His first wife for many years was unwilling, let alone him, so he had to speak carefully.

Bao Yong spoke directly. After seeing Feng Yan, he did not greet him too much. He just stared at his low-key dress and said with a serious expression: "Is Jingtong coming here for General Gengshi's official business?"

Feng Yan sighed and said, "Zheng Jun, I will never go back if I leave General Gengshi."

"It seems that Jingtong finally listened to my advice and stopped helping the evil again." Bao Yong was very happy all of a sudden and immediately asked someone to drink: "This is a great joy, worthy of your and I drink!"

Bao Yong thought Feng Yan came to Shangdang to seek protection in order to return to his hometown, and said, "Jingtong, please rest for a few days. I will recommend it to Dayin again to let you go to the county government to do things."

Feng Yan was still holding the seal given by the fifth reunion in his arms. He was thinking about how to tell Bao Yong that he had changed his lord and served him, but Bao Xuan mentioned it first.

"Jingtong and I have been in contact with each other for more than ten years, so I can entrust my wife's friendship with each other. Since you are no longer a Lian Dan's aide, I can say something straight."

Bao Yong drank a cup of wine suddenly, stood up and pointed to the dim sky outside and said, "Before Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, I advised the former prefect Chen Xing to restore the Han Dynasty several times and cut off the plan to destroy the rebellion. At that time, the prefect thought that the time had not come and was unwilling to engage in the matter with Zhai Yi, so the matter was stopped."

"But although I am a new official, I have never forgotten my father's loyalty to the Han family, and I just gritted my teeth and endured humiliation."

Bao Yong and Wang Mang really have a grudge against killing their father.

"Now more than ten years have passed, and the national destiny usurped by the puppet dynasty is about to come to an end. The red eyebrows in the east and the green forest in the south have repeatedly defeated the official army, and Wang Mang's hearts have been lost, and his saint disguise has also been seen through the world."

"I don't plan to pretend."

"The opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty has arrived! Jingtong, is he willing to work with me to make a big deal?"
