Chapter 1054: Success in the East and Success in the West (Forty-Seven)

Last night's heavy rain washed the black palace of Heibingtai even cleaner. Standing at the bottom of the steps and looking up at the black palace above, Tan Feng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He took a deep breath. The smell of earth in the air was very obvious, but it made him calm down a little. Although he was acting as the deputy commander of Heibingtai, he usually worked in a special office outside. It was the first time that he was summoned alone to come to this black palace to meet King Qin Wulie himself.

The last time he was summoned by King Qin Wulie was when he and Zhou Yu came to Xianyang with Ji Ling. After that, but that was only above the Great Court.

The Black Ice Terrace was extremely high. Unlike other palaces surrounded by trees and gorgeous flowers and plants, this palace was surrounded by nothing. The empty space did not make people feel lonely, but rather had a sense of majesty.

Tan Feng slowly stepped onto the steps, one step at a time, and reached the top. An old waiter with gray hair pushed open the heavy door for him, and a chilly air rushed towards him from inside the palace. Tan Feng leaned over and bowed slightly to the old waiter. Others did not know the identity of the old waiter, but he knew that although he was a Not high, but extremely powerful. The last time the eldest prince was sentenced to death was the work of this hunchbacked old waiter. It is said that after the eldest prince saw him, he no longer struggled.

Stepping on the ground, looking at the huge landscape of the Central Plains, imagining that this picturesque landscape was under his feet, Tan Feng's heart could not help but beat violently.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" He prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the supreme ruler of the Qin State who was on the bed and had not much time left.

"Tan Feng!" A voice with obvious lack of energy came from above his head.

"I am here!"

"Your Majesty, Your ... How has the Qin treated you since you entered Qin?"

"The grace is as high as the sky. Tan Feng is a person who lost his country and his home. He is barely alive. If it weren't for the king taking him in, I'm afraid he would have been dead long ago." Tan Feng said.

"Do you still have Yan in your heart?"

Tan Feng's heart skipped a beat. Do you still have Yan in your heart? He asked himself again in his heart, and then answered: "Your Majesty, the Great Yan is gone. Now I only have the Great Qin in my heart, not the Great Yan. The past will never come back."

"Very good, if your answer comes out of your mouth, the king really dare not use you, but you think about it again and again before answering the king, which shows that you He is not a heartless person. It is not a bad thing to be nostalgic, but it is even more precious to be able to clearly judge the reality."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Tan Feng felt a layer of fine sweat on his back. He had never felt this fear in front of King Yan before, and now the person in front of him who made him feel so much pressure was actually an old man who was about to die.

The breathing on the bed was a little heavy, and after a while, the voice of King Qin Wulie was heard again.

"What do you think of Gao Yuan?"

Tan Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect King Qin Wulie to ask him This question.

"You have known him for a long time, first as a friend and then as an enemy. It is because he lost his family and country that you should be the one who knows him best. Tell me what you think of him."

"Yes, Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, Gao Yuan is smart, tenacious, brave, impulsive in small matters, calm in big matters, always plans before taking action, and never does anything without a purpose." Gao Yuan's somewhat hateful smile appeared in Tan Feng's mind, but he couldn't despise Gao Yuan.

"I didn't expect you to praise him so much!"

"Gao Yuan is my lifelong enemy. In order to defeat him, I I have been trying to figure this man out day and night." Tan Feng bowed his head.

The couch was silent for a moment again. "Tan Feng, you are in the Black Ice Platform. You know the current situation much better than ordinary court officials. In your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

Hearing this question, Tan Feng immediately became a little nervous. He knew in his heart that this was probably a test from King Qin Wulie. If the answer could satisfy the king, it would not be difficult for him to make a comeback. Otherwise, he would have to stay in the Black Ice Platform for the rest of his life.

The intelligence he had collected in the past few days and his understanding of Gao Gao Yuan read it once, then sorted out his thoughts and spoke.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Great Qin has no immediate worries. Although General Li was defeated and hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, Gao Yuan certainly has no intention of competing with Great Qin in the near future. Instead, he will accumulate strength, first take over Wei, Han, Zhao, and even send troops to Chu."

"Why do you say that?" King Qin Wulie was slightly surprised, and he straightened his upper body to sit up straighter, staring at the young minister who came from Yan to surrender. This person made a very quick judgment, and his thoughts were exactly the same as those of himself and the master last night.

"Gao Yuan knew very well that although he won this battle, the losses were not small. As far as I know, He Lanxiong's Dongye and Donghu Independent Cavalry Divisions both suffered heavy losses, and Gao Yuan only used these two remnant divisions to push towards Shannan County. City, it is obvious that he has no intention to capture Shannan County and go straight to the rear of Da Qin. Looking at his thoughts, I am afraid that he believes that although Da Qin suffered this defeat, its hundreds of years of foundation are still there, so how can there be any reason to attack it? Judging from the position of its main force, it must first stabilize the three counties of Han and regain the Wei State. After all, these places are fertile lands with a large population. Taking these territories is far more important than taking the Shannan County. And stabilizing this After two places, the first person he has to deal with is probably the State of Zhao. This time the Zhao people allied with me and opened up the upper valley, catching him off guard. And as far as I know, what Gao Yuan hates most is those who betray the judge. Therefore, he must deal with the State of Zhao first. Even if it is the State of Chu, I think Gao Yuan is just showing off to scare King Huai of Chu. Although the State of Chu is large and has a large population, it has no intention of moving forward bravely. Instead, it is clinging to its weakness. Even with Huang Xie, Qu Zhong and other famous generals, it is still difficult to reverse this trend. Once Gao Yuan's heavy troops arrive, King Huai of Chu will definitely stop fighting and try to find a way to calm Gao Yuan's anger."

King Wulie of Qin nodded slightly. Tan Feng's analysis was somewhat different from their thoughts yesterday. He and Li Ru both believed that Gao Yuan would take this opportunity to give Chu a heavy blow.

"Why do you conclude that Gao Yuan will not take this opportunity to cripple the Chu State?"

"Your Majesty, just as Gao Yuan does not dare to fight a decisive battle with us now, he must have the same mentality towards the Chu State. The Chu State is vaster than our country, has more people than our Great Qin, and is richer than our country. If The state of Chu was forced to fight back. With his current strength, he may not be able to cope with it. What's more, he has to worry that we will take the opportunity to send troops here. If Qin and Chu attack Han with all their might, How can he remain undefeated?"

"Is there any possibility for us to unite with the Chu State and fight with all our strength?"

Tan Feng raised his head, glanced at the pale, almost bloodless face on the bed, and said, "If the king is in good health, it is not impossible."

King Wulie of Qin sighed, "Yes, it's a pity that God doesn't give me this opportunity. King Huai of Chu is just hoping that I will die, and Qin will be in chaos!"

Tan Feng remained silent.

"Then what do you think Gao Yuan's next grand strategy will be?" King Qin Wulie sighed for a while and then asked.

"Your Majesty, a long time ago, when I was a very good friend with Gao Yuan, I once discussed the way of war with him. This person told me that war, fought to the end, is actually the strength of the country. Fighting means economy and money. Whoever is richer will be more durable, and whoever will win the final victory of the war. Although there are differences in this truth in the long history of history, it is inseparable from ten, and in these ten Since the middle of the year, Gao Yuan's philosophy of governing the country has been fully implemented. Therefore, I believe that after this war, Gao Yuan will definitely not start wars at will, but will focus on developing people's livelihood. In this aspect, this person really has an ability that is difficult to compare with ordinary people. With his talent, Jishi County and Liaoxi County, which were originally the poorest places in Dayan, under his governance, surpassed Langya and other sacred places and became the core of the Han Kingdom. After he took over places like Han and Wei , I'm afraid that Han's economy will skyrocket, and when that happens, it will be the time for him to launch a war." Tan Feng said.

"Economy, people's livelihood?" King Qin Wulie murmured: "Look at Gao Yuan's way of governing the country and our Da Qin's way of governing the country, who is higher and who is lower."

Tan Feng was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, Gao Yuan once said back then that the Great Qin's national policy of pooring the people and enriching the country is like fish in a dry lake. If the goal cannot be achieved in a short period of time, it will collapse, even without the help of external forces. If invaded, the interior will fall apart."

"After seeing the lofty man, I understand this now but it's a bit late. If I change my mind now, I'm afraid Qin will collapse faster!" King Qin Wulie shook his head and smiled bitterly. "From what you see, how much time do we have?"

"Your Majesty!" Tan Feng was stunned for a moment, and finally said bravely: "I estimate that based on Gao Yuan's development time in western Liaoning and other places, not counting this year, if we, Da Qin, cannot defeat the Han Dynasty within five years, If the country is in trouble, it will get worse and worse in the future, and it will become more and more difficult."

"Five years?" King Qin Wulie looked up at the high dome.

"Tan Feng, you were originally a general. I am going to recruit you to serve in the army again. Together with your old partner Zhou Yu, you will lead a large army for me. Are you willing?" King Qin Wulie said suddenly.

Tan Feng was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I am willing to be the king and do my best for the Qin Dynasty."

"Very good, but before that, you still need to do one thing. After you finish this thing, you can go and take office. I have issued your letter of appointment and it is now in Ying Ying's hands. When the time comes, he will For you." King Qin Wulie turned his head and looked at Tan Feng, with an inexplicable smile suddenly showing on his face. (To be continued)
