Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 316 310. Prepare to Intervene
"Whoosh-!"

Feng Xi was watching the experiments of the new weapons he requested at the arsenal. Feng Xi would not be satisfied with simple weapons such as explosives. The research and development barriers of many weapons were actually just obstacles to thinking. In fact, the difficult part was the process of creating something from scratch, not the production.

Unfortunately, Feng Xi was the last one lacking ideas, but what he lacked was experiments and research and development. Although the future Feng Tunan had learned a lot about modern weapons in the army and had disassembled and assembled guns, he would definitely not be able to make one.

Those parts and the like require basic industrial capabilities. Obviously, given Jingzhou's current situation, it is impossible to produce automatic thermal weapons, but we can still make more cold weapons.

Even if the subsequent smelting conditions are improved, the most common matchlock guns and solid bullet cannons can be produced. However, the low output is more experimental than practical.

"Grand Commander, Chief Ma said he wants to see you for something important."

The guard came in from outside and interrupted Feng Xi who was guiding Fu Zixun and his team in their experiment. Feng Xi nodded, gave Fu Zixun and his team a few instructions, and then left the test site with the guard and came to the reception room.

"You Chang doesn't stay at home to rest. Does he want to share the burden and find something to do?"

Feng Xi smiled and joked to Ma Su who was drinking tea in the hall. Feng Xi gave these young people who were fighting against Shanyue a month's vacation. Because in fact, they were not many, and without them, they were not many. He and Huang Quan and others did not have a rest.

"Grand Commander, there is a letter from the south."

When Ma Su saw Feng Xi coming, he had no time to respond to Feng Xi's teasing. He took out the letter that Yang Feng's confidant had just given him and handed it to Feng Xi.

When Feng Xi heard that it was a letter from Nanzhong, he immediately became serious and read it quickly after opening it. The letter was obviously written to Ma Su. The words were full of yearning for the Han Dynasty's policies towards other ethnic groups. It implicitly asked if the Han Dynasty would accept his 100,000 men, women, old and young if they wanted to join the Han Dynasty.

"This Yang Feng is so straightforward?"

Feng Xi handed the letter back to Ma Su. When he opened the envelope just now, Feng Xi noticed that the envelope was intact. He knew that Ma Su probably came in a hurry and didn't even read it.

Ma Su picked up the letter, read it quickly as well, and couldn't help showing joy on his face.

"Congratulations, Grand Commander. I didn't expect that Yang Feng would want to join the Han Dynasty in such a crisis. If Yang Feng, the cave master, takes the lead, I'm afraid that Nanzhong will be divided soon."

Ma Su thought about it for a while and knew all the key points after combining the information that Yang Feng's confidant had told him before. Originally, neither Feng Xi nor Ma Su thought that Yang Feng could succeed immediately, but they just planted a seed for him. Unexpectedly, Meng Huo was so fierce that he forced Yang Feng to rebel.

"What do you mean? Is there any disturbance in the south?"

Feng Xi naturally had no idea what had happened in Nanzhong. Ma Su slapped his forehead and repeated to Feng Xi the news he had just heard from the envoy. Feng Xi even laughed out loud with joy.

Meng Huo was really uncivilized. He robbed so blatantly. If he were Yang Feng, he would not be able to stand it. Moreover, if it was the previous Yang Feng, he might have swallowed his anger and let it go. But the problem was that Yang Feng's heart was shaken after seeing the fairness and "beauty" of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Feng originally thought that if Meng Huo did this, the Han Dynasty might point its sword at Nanzhong after conquering the Shanyue. If Meng Huo resisted like this, even with the support of the Wuguo Kingdom, it would not be much better. As a result, Meng Huo made Yang Feng lose his last trust in Nanzhong in advance. The Han Dynasty had already taken a big lead in the direction of development, while Nanzhong was still scheming for these trivial matters. The difference was like heaven and earth.

So by chance, the situation finally turned out to be what it is now. Yang Feng successfully gave the Han army an excuse to intervene in Nanzhong.

"Bring paper and pen immediately. Yang Feng must keep it. If nothing else, a hundred thousand people is a considerable income."

Feng Xi immediately made the decision and asked the servant of the armory to bring him paper and pen. Feng Xi wrote a copy in his own handwriting and sent it to Sichuan. After all, it was very complicated to go from Jingzhou to Nanzhong. Even if he immediately transferred troops, it would take almost a month to reach Nanzhong.

Therefore, Feng Xi planned to let Sichuan help Yang Feng, and then let Yang Feng go directly to Jiaozhou in the east. These 100,000 people would be a new force in Jiaozhou, which could effectively neutralize the problem of too many Cham people in Jiaozhi County.

As for whether Sichuan could stop Meng Huo and help Yang Feng, Feng Xi was not worried. He knew all about the previous situation in which the Han army beat the rebels in the three counties. In the original timeline, the new army recruited by Zhuge Liang could easily beat Meng Huo, let alone the veterans of today?
Feng Xi sent a letter to Chengdu as quickly as possible, asking Zhuge Liang to cooperate with Yang Feng. Otherwise, before the Han army could help Yang Feng, he would be eliminated by Meng Huo, which would be a loss.

At the same time, Feng Xi also wrote a letter to Li Hui, asking Jiaozhou to help if conditions permit, but it is not necessary. Although the situation in Jiaozhou has stabilized and the army has been expanded to 50,000, the Jiaozhou army is newly built after all. Although Yu Jin has trained, its combat effectiveness is estimated to be not much.

Moreover, Li Hui might not have the troops, so Feng Xi just notified Li Hui and asked him to make preparations in advance.

The messenger from Feng Xi rode at full speed, traveling by land and sea to Chengdu, and met Zhuge Liang directly. He handed Zhuge Liang the story and Feng Xi's handwritten letter.

"I see. No wonder there have been some unusual movements in South China recently. There is such a split in South China."

Zhuge Liang has stepped up intelligence work in the area since the rebellion of the three counties of Nanzhong and Yinan last year. He naturally knows that many problems have arisen in Nanzhong in the past two months, including the fact that Yang Feng's army went to Jiaozhou under his nose.

If Feng Xi had not warned him in advance, Zhuge Liang would probably have ordered the Han army stationed in Yongchang to eliminate Yang Feng.

Now, hearing that there was civil unrest among the southern barbarians in Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang also realized that this was a good opportunity. If handled properly, he might be able to recover Nanzhong.

"Go back and tell the Grand Commander that I will keep an eye on the situation in Nanzhong."

Zhuge Liang sent the messenger away and asked the messenger to prepare Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong in Yongchang County. If Meng Huo attacked Yang Feng too vigorously, they should appropriately hinder Meng Huo and try their best to save Yang Feng.

However, what Zhuge Liang and Feng Xi didn't know was that during the days when they were delivering the message, Yang Feng's life had become difficult.

Previously, Yang Feng sent his confidant to deliver the letter, but only the person who went from Jiaozhou to Jingzhou survived, while the person who went north was stopped, so the Han army in Sichuan had no intelligence at all.

The one who stopped Yang Feng's confidant was none other than the master of Bana Cave, King Mulu, who was invited by Meng Huo.
