Chapter 1375: Han Banner World (Sixty-Five) Never Give Up

Wulong City was taken, and the soldiers cheered and rushed into the city along the wide open gate. Soon, the city was full of soldiers. They quickly put out the fire that was raging on the city tower. , and then rows of people stood on the city wall celebrating the victory. More soldiers poured in. Some of the fire places in the city soon turned into curls of black smoke. The smoke pillars rose straight into the clear sky, turning the bright sunshine away. Covered.

Tan Feng did not enter the city, but sat on the ground in a daze, looking at Wulong County not far away in a daze. Wulong was captured, and Tai'an was also captured, but Yingchuan County, which he had worked hard to build for many years, was gone. To support his transformation of these two counties, how can he gain a foothold?

What's more, will Gao Yuan give himself another five years to change these two places calmly? It's impossible. Even if Gao Yuan doesn't attack, will Lu Chao tolerate himself here? It is also impossible. If he has the rich Yingchuan County as his backing, he will not be afraid of him. But now, how can two dilapidated counties with poor people's livelihood support tens of thousands of soldiers of his own?

They have been raised by themselves in recent years, but this is not the former Qin army. Giving them a pitiful salary, three meals a day and an illusory prospect can motivate them to fight hard. This army was raised with money, and then more money would be needed to support them.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

Suddenly, Tan Feng understood why Gao Yuan did not attack Qin in such a strong situation, because it was very expensive to fight and raise troops! It wasn't that Gao Yuan didn't want to rush to capture Qin, but because he couldn't afford such an expensive war. With the great strength of the Han Dynasty and the vastness of its territory, it would take several years to recover before fighting a big battle. If your own strength was far inferior to that of your opponent, what could you do to continue the fight?

Tan Feng felt as if he had fallen into a trap by Gao Yuan. Over the years, I imitated his national policies and tried my best to build Yingchuan into a place not much different from the Han Dynasty, and built my own army to be like the Han army, but as a result, I got myself into trouble. .

Gao Yuan must have set his sights on Yingchuan County very early on, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he suddenly appeared in Yingshui.

"Gao Yuan, you really think highly of me. I, Mr. Tan, who only owns a mere county, want you to lead the expedition personally?" Tan Feng suddenly looked up to the sky and burst out laughing, making all the soldiers on the side look pale. Change, the general is stimulated, is he going crazy?

Yin Cuo on the other side looked a little defeated. Looking at Tan Feng, he said harshly: "General, our main force is here and in Tai'an. Concentrate our strength and fight back. Take back Yingchuan." As a general of Yingchuan County, He naturally knew the importance of Yingchuan County to their army.

"Fight back?" Tan Feng sighed: "Do you think Gao Yuan will give us this chance? This person makes plans and then acts.

Now that we have taken action, the follow-up moves will inevitably come in an endless stream. What we should be thinking about now is not fighting back, but how to survive. If I had predicted correctly, their follow-up troops would have arrived at Yingchuan County long ago. Further to the rear, there are still main forces arriving in an endless stream. Not only can we not recapture Yingchuan County now, we can't even recapture Wulong and Tai'an that we just captured. I also want to make wedding clothes for others. Gao Yuan is really good at calculating. I tried my best to capture Wulong and Tai'an, but in the blink of an eye, I had to give them to him with both hands. "

"General, even if we can't recapture Yingchuan, we can't give up Wulong and Tai'an. If we give up these two places, where will we go? We won't have our own territory. Even if we don't protect Wulong, we must protect it. Tai'an, Tai'an is located in a strategic location. As long as we master it, we still have a chance to make a comeback. The general can once again build Tai'an into Yingchuan County!"

Tan Feng stood up, "Do you think this is still possible? Why is Yingchuan rich? It's because we are constantly trading with the Han people, and a large amount of Han goods are distributed to all directions through Yingchuan, bringing wealth to Yingchuan and making us Our finances are very abundant, which is our capital to govern Yingchuan. Do you think Gao Yuan will give me this opportunity in the future? Moreover, as long as his upper and lower lips touch lightly, no trace of Chinese goods will come out. , Tai'an is indeed located in a strategic location. It is difficult to defend because of its strategic location. This is a piece of fat. Who doesn't want it? If there is Yingchuan's financial support and Wulong's flank cover and buffer, I have confidence. Defend Tai'an, but these two places are gone. How can Tai'an alone become our foothold? It can only be our death."

Yin Cuo was speechless. Listening to Tan Feng's words, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"I was treated as a pig by Gao Yuan, fattened and ready to be killed, so he slaughtered it for meat without hesitation. It's ridiculous that I happily thought I had a plan, thought I was smart, and made money from the Han people. Equipping his own army and managing his own territory, how could he have done this for Gao Yuan?" The smile on Tan Feng's face gradually solidified, bitter and angry, making his face look very distorted, and the painful look made him Everyone around him shuddered.

Tan Feng thinks that he is one of the few smart people in this world, and there are very few Liao Liao that he can look up to. Even Lu Chao is not worth anything in his eyes. If it were not for Li Ru's support along the way, that scholar would I don’t know how many times I have died. But now, the cruel reality has mercilessly attacked his self-confidence. He has been raised as a pig for so long, and not only does he not know it, but he feels complacent every day. This is really a great irony.

He staggered a few steps, his face turned pale, and suddenly he opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"General!" Yin Cuo and the surrounding guards were all frightened, and they all rushed towards him.

"It's okay, it's okay!" With his sword on the ground, Tan Feng tried his best to stand up straight, looking up at the sky, "I won't give in so easily. I still have tens of thousands of soldiers, and I still have a chance to fight." Li, I will never admit defeat, Gao Yuan, I still have a chance to compete with you."

Yin Cuo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, General. Although we lost Yingchuan County, the main force of our army is still there. We have not lost."

"Yin Cuo, order your troops to take away everything Wulong County can take away. Food, gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, anything useful, including men, men taller than a riding whip, except for Take away all the old and weak people, not only Wulong County, but also Fucheng County below. I will give you a month to move everything you can to Tai'an first." Tan Feng's face flashed. A hint of flush.

"Yes, General, I understand." Yin Cuo thought that Tan Feng finally figured it out and wanted to stick to Tai'an, so he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he ignored the word "Xian" in Tan Feng's last sentence.

"I want to leave Gao Yuan with a broken Wulong with nothing. This hypocrite Gao Yuan will definitely slow down his progress and buy precious time for our next deployment. Yin Cuo, don't forget it. , before leaving, give me a fire to burn all the crops in the field. I will make sure that by the end of the autumn, not a single grain of food will be harvested in Wulong." Tan Feng said fiercely.

Yin Cuo shuddered, looked at Tan Feng's red eyes, and said loudly: "As ordered, General, leave nothing behind."

Tan Feng did not enter the newly conquered Wulong County, but took his own troops and returned to Tai'an as hurriedly as they had come.

In Yingshui County, at the headquarters of the 88th Division, Gao Yuan was receiving the latest Han army unit that arrived here, the famous ghost-faced general Gu Li, the only female general among the Han Dynasty's active troops.

"Gu Li is worthy of being Gu Li. Your Huns cavalry division is always the fastest forward. Gongsun Yi and Agu Huai'en are convinced by this fact!" Looking at Gu Li standing in front of him holding a helmet, Li, Gao Yuan said with a smile. "You arrived five days earlier than I planned."

Gu Li smiled, "The Huns Independent Cavalry Division is always ready to serve the king. March like wind and fire, fight like thunder. This is the king's gift to the Huns Independent Cavalry Division. We implement this sentence all the time, and there will be more , Our ability to advance at such a speed is also due to the timely supplies along the way.”

Hearing Gu Fan's words, Gao Yuan laughed again, "Presumably after you pass by, the officials at the supply station will scold you loudly, because you made them confused, and they certainly didn't expect that you were moving so fast. "

"If they are really in a hurry, I think the king should punish them. They should have an emergency plan. If they don't even have this, the director of the Supply Department should be replaced."

"You're right. If you can't cope with emergencies, it's really time to replace them. But now it seems that they are doing a good job. Ye Zhong will definitely come to claim credit in front of me later. By the way, he muttered that you didn't follow the plan. Act." Gao Yuan smiled.

"Gu Li thought that now the king must need a cavalry to become a force for quick strikes. So he accelerated his advance." Gu Li said.

"You are right. Based on my understanding of Tan Feng, he will definitely do something. Yingchuan will not come back. He knows that when he comes back, he will be a meat bun beating a dog. If there is no return, he will try every means To delay my actions, the most effective thing is to destroy Wulong. I need your cavalry division to rush to Wulong and protect it as much as possible. Don't let Tan Feng destroy it beyond control. There, our big man will be here next. I don’t want the territory to become a scorched earth.” Gao Yuan said: “In addition, making it impossible for them to get too much from Wulong will also help us force him to follow the path we have set for him.”

"Gu Li obeys the order." (To be continued.)
