One thousand three hundred eighty-one chapters Taihang winter hunting west to Taiyuan
The lively eleven years of Guangxi are finally over. During this year, the Central Plains have been surging and wonderful shows have been staged. When all these disturbances finally come to an end with the winter snow, the participants and onlookers are inexplicably moved, but everyone has to admit that this is a very wonderful year.
After a while of winter snow, Fang Zhiwen started this year's winter hunting operation. This time the whole family went out again, and even Zhen Jiang, who was pregnant again, did not fall down. Although she was already pregnant, she was still very comfortable in the carriage. She really didn't want to miss the time with her husband. She knew that after winter, her husband might be unable to stay and go out again.
The destination of this winter hunting is Taihang, which should be Changshan County on the surface, which is also considered a tour of Fang Zhiwen's inspection of Changshan County. Not only were the soldiers of the Guards, but also the group of boy scouts who were gradually growing, as well as Lin Wenzhi's senior intellectual corps.
In Changshan County, Fang Zhiwen only established two official cities, one was the Nanxingtang at the mountain pass in the north, the other was Zhending in the south, and another was the military fortress Jingxing Pass, which was also under the jurisdiction of Yu Jin, who was stationed in Zhending, while Liang Xi, the prefect of Changshan County, stationed in the south, went to Tangtang.
Fang Zhiwen's winter hunting team went south from Dai County in the north. Yan Zhi escorted all the way to the Nanxing Tang Dynasty before returning to Dai County. Fang Zhiwen inspected Nanxing Tang Dynasty and praised Liang Xi's work very much.
Liang Xi is indeed a talent. The most important thing is that Liang Xi has a strong sense of responsibility, so he does everything very seriously and it is difficult to find any omissions. It seems that in history, Cao cāo praised Liang Xi for being the first in government affairs every time. It makes sense that it is difficult for someone to be the best.
To be honest, the current government affairs in Changshan County are not very busy. The problem is that the population is too small. The security environment outside the city, especially along the roads, is relatively poor, and there are constant foreign populations, such as those sent from Yingzhou, the grasslands in the north, and the mountains in the south. These populations are of low quality and different ethnic habits, which lead to various contradictions. The Southern Tang Dynasty is like a large concentration camp, and the problems here are definitely indispensable.
Thanks to Liang Xi, who is in charge, is both literary and military, and is extremely responsible in his work, he has managed this messy southern Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner, and handles these chaotic relationships very well.
After seeing Liang Xi's ability on the spot, Fang Zhiwen felt relieved. Next, the immigration speed to Changshan County seems to be slightly faster. Changshan County should have established Bowu, Lingshou and Shiyi cities to form a complete urban chain. Otherwise, the distance from Guangchang, Daijun to the southern end of Taihang will be too far, and Li Yuanzhi's logistics will become a big problem, and even Yu Jin's troops will have problems.
Then Fang Zhiwen and his party went south to Zhending, and then accompanied Yu Jin to Jingxing Pass. This place is a very famous place. During the Warring States Period, many major wars broke out here. In the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin completed the key battle to defeat Zhao.
Of course, Fang Zhiwen did not come here to remember the ancient times. Jingxing Pass is now an important military fortress, an important road leading to the Leping Kingdom of Bingzhou, and a pass to the south of the Taihang area.
If you just come to visit, Jingxing Pass really has nothing to look good. It is just a large barracks, and several shops are mainly for the service of Yiren. This is not a city, and it cannot be registered, and there is no commercial facilities to the public. Apart from a dungeon square, there is no lively place.
However, the old men and children were still very excited, and kept climbing from the post on this mountain to the post on another mountain. Their endless pleasure made Fang Zhiwen and his wives sigh.
However, there are still people who can't climb, such as Cai Yong.
"Mr. Cai, why don't you go up the high ground?"
Cai Yong's eyes seemed to be chasing his precious daughter. Seeing that his precious daughter was full of vitality, Cai Yong narrowed his eyes. However, as Cai Yan grew older, Cai Yong began to worry about her marriage. Fang Zhiwen still talked about this when Lin Wenzhi was bored. When Lin Wenzhi talked about this, Lin Wenzhi laughed at Cai Yong and said that his granddaughter was almost thirty. Cai Wenji was only fourteen, so Cai Yong was restless.
"I'm not good at my muscles and bones, and I can't climb anymore!"
Fang Zhiwen was speechless. Zhen Jiang and Taishi Zhaorong held back their smiles hard, but Mi Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud. Xiao Ning quickly pulled Mi Zhen's sleeve gently to remind her that she was a little rude. Mi Zhen quickly turned her face, covered her mouth and shook her shoulders, looking very cute.
Fang Zhiwen smiled and pointed to the group of old men and women and said, "You should say this to them."
Cai Yong also laughed: "They are not afraid of wind and snow. I am very afraid of it. In fact, I can't see anything even if I climb up?"
Cai Yong said as he looked westward, and saw the peaks and mountains as wind and snow as the sea, where is the vast expanse?
Fang Zhiwen nodded: "I can't see anything, I guess I can see a mountain. Looking west is Taiyuan!"
Cai Yong glanced at Fang Zhiwen and wondered whether Fang Zhiwen had started to make Taiyuan again, but then he laughed. Whether Fang Zhiwen was making Taiyuan had nothing to do with Cai Yong. Cai Yong was an ordinary literati. When he was young, he might have been worried about the country and the people. When he got older, he knew that he had no ability to worry about the country and the people at all, so it would be better to do academic research honestly. Therefore, he stayed away from politics and was not even willing to become an official. Under Zhen Jiang's persuasion, he barely held a idle position in the Education Department, which was considered to be a little contribution to Youzhou's education development.
"Taiyuan is a good place." Cai Yong continued with a smile.
Fang Zhiwen looked at Cai Yong with some curiosity: "Why does Mr. Cai say that Taiyuan is a good place?"
"Taiyuan is surrounded by mountains, with plains and marsh in it. The land is fertile and the mountains and rivers are steep. Isn't Taiyuan a good place?"
"Haha, that's right, Taiyuan is a good place! There is Taisheng Realm in the east, Luliang in the west, mountains in the south as barriers, and Great Wall in the north to rely on it. It is a good place to farm behind closed doors."
"Maybe the Lord is going to get it?"
Cai Yong's problem made Fang Zhiwen stunned, and Yu Jin's eyes lit up. Although Yu Jin has been highly valued since he joined Fang Zhiwen, he has not gained the opportunity to make achievements. Seeing Yu She and Wen Pin shining in Yingzhou, Yu Jin couldn't help but be very jealous. If the lord intends to conquer Taiyuan, he will be useful.
"Uh?! Mr. Cai is right to start paying attention to this too?"
"Where is no concern, I just ask casually. I see that I am trying to take Changshan to control Taihang. Do you want to take down this treasure land in Taiyuan?"
"Oh? Did Zhiwen like Taiyuan again? According to me, 'If you have flowers to be broken, you must be broken. Don't wait for the flowers to be broken.', just find an excuse to take Taiyuan down. How can you worry about so much?"
Behind Fang Zhiwen, the old scoundrel sounded the voice of Lin Wenzhi. When Cai Yong heard this famous poem, his eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Good poems, but why are they seven characters? They are not as sonorous as five-character, but quite gentle!"
"Haha, this is not written by me, and I don't study poetry. When it comes to serious business, does Zhiwen want to plan for Bingzhou? Why don't you take Jizhou first?"
Fang Zhiwen was amused and crying: "When did I say I wanted to take Bingzhou, let alone Jizhou, Mr. Lin, you are purely imaginary."
Lin Wenzhi squeezed away Yu Jin, who was beside Fang Zhiwen, stood beside Fang Zhiwen and looked at the narrow road west of Guansai, and said with a giggle: "If you don't have the idea of fighting Bingzhou Jizhou, what are you going to do in Taihang Mountain? Are the smart people in your General Staff all too busy doing nothing?"
Yu Jin smiled bitterly and retreated. When he remembered Zhen Xiang's evaluation of Lin Wenzhi, he couldn't help but agree. This guy is just a person who relies on his seniority to do not practice cultivation.
Fang Zhiwen gave Yu Jin a comforting smile very carefully, and then looked at Lin Wenzhi and replied: "Taihang is not necessarily for attack, but also for defense, and even to prevent Gongsun Zan from clashing with Yuan Shao."
"Is it to stop Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao from having a conflict in order to make Yuan Shao feel at ease to fight Cao cāo? This wishful thinking may not be able to make a comeback!"
"Oh? Could Mr. Lin have great opinions?" Fang Zhiwen curled his lips. Lin Wenzhi's strategic level is just a level of talking on paper. It is far from the smart people in the General Staff, and may not be as good as Tian Zhi.
"There is no high opinion, but there is some suspicious opinion. But don't be busy talking about the Central Plains. You can certainly avoid the possibility of Gongsun Zan going eastward. Even Gongsun Zan's capture of Hedong westward was also urging you behind the scenes? Your purpose is to let Gongsun Zan fight to the death with Sima Fang? This Gongsun Zan is obviously not a rival to Sima Fang? Sima Fang has been devoted to development for many years, and he has enough troops and food. He is planning to go east to the Central Plains. You encourage Gongsun Zan to advance westward, and you are just sending it to Sima Fang's knife edge? Now that the Central Plains are coming, there is Sima Fang to the west and the iron army to the east, I am afraid it is time to enter the danger. Taking Taiyuan is the right time!"
Fang Zhiwen smiled disdainfully: "Gongsun Zan is really that bad? The iron army has just split and still has the ability to fight Gongsun Zan head-on? Does Sima Fang really need Hedong County? Do you really understand this?"
"Why do you mean? Are you saying that Gongsun Zan will not lose to Sima Fang?"
"No, I mean, Sima Fang had no intention of Hedong County at all, because it was too barren. He took Hedong County, north to the north, Xihe and Hanoi to the east. Aren't they attacked from three sides? Can Hedong County be stable? How can it develop with peace of mind if it is not stable? What's the use of not developing?"
"Sima Fang sent Li Jue and Sima Yi to occupy Hejin and ordered Zhang Ji to station troops in Jiao County to prepare to cross the Yellow River north. Isn't this all the intention of plotting against Hedong County?"
"Who said that this is a plot against Hedong County? Can't it mean to harass Hedong County and prevent Gongsun Zan from developing Hedong County? As long as Hedong County cannot develop normally, it will not be a threat to Sima Fang, and it can even become Gongsun Zan's bloody place. This is Sima Fang's real plan!"
Lin Wenzhi's eyes turned around. Although he thought Fang Zhiwen's statement was reasonable, he refused to admit defeat:
"Then, Sima defends strong and powerful, don't he want to make a difference?"
"Of course I thought about it!" Fang Zhiwen said with great certainty. To be continued...)
