I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 108: Strategies for Longyou
"You are back!"

Li Ruji burst into tears.

Ever since he was told in February that his son had to leave the city to cross the Weishui River due to the war, the old father had not had a peaceful night's sleep.

He couldn't help but hugged Li Heng and burst into tears. While crying, he said, "I thought I would never see you again!"

Li Heng patted him on the back and said, "Am I back?"

"If you have any shortcomings, how can I explain it to the ancestors of my Li family!"

The more he talked, the more excited Li Ruji became, and tears couldn't help but roll down.

Li Heng was quite touched. Although this guy sometimes did unreliable things, he really had nothing to say to his son.

He couldn't bear to say that your son had passed away from that illness, and the person standing in front of you now was not your real son.

He suddenly discovered that Li Ruji had a lot of gray hair.

"Come on, come on, I'll make you some soup." Li Ruji took Li Heng's hand and walked inside.

"Father, the Prime Minister called me for something."

"It's not too late to go over after eating."

Seeing his old father's tearful eyes, Li Heng curled his lips and said, "Okay."

Soon, the fragrant broth was served.

And it’s mutton soup.

"Where did you get this mutton?"

"I bought it, drink it quickly, drink it quickly."

When Li Heng drank, he had to say that Li Ruji's cooking skills were very good.

Not long after, Li Heng finished drinking.

"how?"

"It tastes good." Li Heng suddenly felt full of strength.

Li Ruji suddenly shouted outside: "Close the door quickly!"

The two servants immediately closed the door.

Li Heng looked stunned.

Then I heard Li Ruji shouting: "What are you hiding for! Why don't you come out and take this kid into the room!"

Five or six beautiful women immediately appeared at the door, wearing clear and gentle smiles.

"Mr. Lang, we are here."

Li Heng glanced at Li Ruji and asked, "What are you..."

Li Ruji said: "Nothing, please sow the seeds."

Li Heng stood up and ran away without saying a word.

"It's useless. I locked the door in advance. You can't escape today!"

Li Heng shouted: "I am your son!"

"Yes, I am fulfilling the responsibilities of a father. This is to extend the incense for my Li family. This is my father's concern for you!"

"Are you here to force me?" Li Heng rolled up his sleeves, exposed his thin arms and said angrily, "Believe it or not, I'm rude to you!"

The women were frightened by Li Heng.

But Li Ruji shouted: "He can't even lift a bucket of water, knock him down and carry him away!"

"Don't come over here, I'm telling you, I have a very important...help..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Lang Jun! Lang Jun!"

It was Jiang Binsi's voice.

"Bin Si! Save me! Save me quickly!"

Jiang Binsi, who was outside, vaguely heard the shouting. He shouted louder and knocked on the door harder: "Lang Jun... hurry up, knock on the door!"

Li Ruji cursed secretly, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys go down first."

Several girls hesitated and said, "Here."

Only then retreated.

Li Heng quickly strode to the door, then turned back and pointed at Li Ruji and shouted: "We are not done with this! We are not done yet!"

Jiang Binsi came in and said, "Lang Jun, are you okay?"

"fine."

"What about just now?" "Just now I was teaching my father how to call for help if he encountered a bandit."

Li Ruji quickly said: "Yes, yes, this is a life-saving method. It is very important. I didn't expect it to disturb you."

Jiang Binsi looked at the two father and son in surprise. He felt a little strange, but he didn't hesitate to ask more questions, so he said: "Mr. Lang, Mr. Dong asked me to escort you to Wuzhangyuan."

"Ziling?"

"Yes."

"What is he doing?"

"He is very busy, and there are many things at the manufacturing plant and Hiro that need to be handled by him personally."

Li Heng felt relieved. With Dong Hong here, he was completely relieved.

"Let's go."

Not long after, Li Heng arrived outside Wuzhangyuan, where Fei Yi was already waiting for Li Heng.

Seeing Fei Yi, Li Heng was immediately flattered. He quickly got off his horse, ran over with small steps, and saluted, "Heng, see Fei Sima!"

"I'm here to pick you up."

"How could I bother Fei Sima to greet me in person?"

"You have made great achievements this time. The reward from Chengdu has been handed down to you. Let's go quickly. Don't keep the Prime Minister waiting."

Li Heng followed Fei Yi to the coach's camp in Wuzhangyuan.

When Li Heng entered, Zhuge Liang was concentrating on reviewing official documents.

"Prime Minister, Ji'an is here."

"I will see you, Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang quickly stood up, walked over, patted Li Heng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I have gained some weight after a few months."

Fei Yi smiled and said: "I heard that Tianshui mutton is very good."

Li Heng smiled awkwardly.

"Ji'an, you have made great achievements this time." Zhuge Liang turned around and picked up an edict from the case.

"Your Majesty gives you the title of General of the Conqueror."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Ji Han inherited the Han system, and the generals of the Han Dynasty all had real power.

However, many civil servants in Jihan also had the rank of general, such as Fazheng, who was the general of Yangwu.

Zhuge Liang said: "I'm calling you back this time because I have something important to do."

"Please make it clear, Prime Minister."

"Sit down first, sit down and talk slowly."

Li Heng took his seat and Fei Yi sat on the other side.

Li Heng noticed that this time the person present was not Yang Yi, but Fei Yi.

This shows that Fei Yi may be involved in what happens next, but Yang Yi will not.

"What do you think of the situation in Longyou?" Zhuge Liang asked.

The situation in Longyou?
Hasn’t Longyou surrendered already?

This question may sound a bit strange at first glance.

Li Heng said: "Longyou and Liangzhou are inseparable. If you want to see Longyou, you must also see Liangzhou."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and he asked, "How do you say this?"

"Although Xu Miao said he was defeated and returned to Liangzhou, I think Wei's foundation in Liangzhou has not been destroyed. Xu Miao should have left a lot of elite Wei troops in Liangzhou. Wei will not give up, and our army has not gone north for the time being. Liangzhou’s strength.”

"Why?" Fei Yi asked, "Didn't our army win the battle? Shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

"The battle line is too long. If something unexpected happens, not only will Liangzhou not be captured, Longyou may also be lost. The current plan is not to capture Liangzhou, but to manage Longyou."

"How to manage Longyou?"

"It goes without saying that Xiaguan is promoting agriculture. There are many Qiang and Di in Longyou. They generally don't engage in farming, but they need food. Xiaguan believes that a border trade market should be opened in Longyou."

"Border trade?" Zhuge Liang's eyes became brighter.

"Yes, border trade."

"Tell me in detail."

"A special city was built in Longyou. This city allowed the Han and Qiang Di to trade goods on their own. The Han people gave the Qiang Di grain or cloth, and the Qiang Di gave the Han people their horses, sheep and other items."
