Chapter 272: The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

; "This battle can't go on." Zhou Yuan looked around at the generals in the room, and his gaze stayed on Gao Yuan sitting by the door for a moment. With Gao Yuan's official position, he was not qualified to sit in this room , but this time in the Battle of Yanzhao, his performance was too eye-catching, and he made great contributions. In addition, he now actually controls thousands of troops, so Zhou Yuan specially summoned him. Of course, he came in If he came in, he could only sit on the edge, take another step, and go out, which was far away from Zhou Yuan. It was almost as fast as shoulder to shoulder with the guards standing on both sides of the door.

But Gao Yuan is very satisfied, being able to sit in represents a kind of acknowledgment, a kind of acknowledgment. If you have to eat a bite, you have to walk step by step. If you want to eat a bite and become a fat man, you will eventually feed yourself to death Too fast, but it is easy to fall. If you are lucky, you may get up. If you are unlucky, you will always fall where you fell.

So even though he was sitting at the place closest to the door, Gao Yuan was not shocked by honor or disgrace, his face was calm, and he listened carefully to Zhou Yuan's speech. I have practiced it, but I am almost like a blank sheet of paper when it comes to the strategic level of strategic planning, and I don’t understand anything. During the conversation with Zhang Shouyue, I learned a little bit, but people like Zhou Yuan People stand taller than Zhang Shouyue, and naturally see farther. Zhang Shouyue thinks about his own one-acre three-point land, while Zhou Yuan, as the Taiwei of the Yan Kingdom, thinks more about the whole The affairs of Yan State.

Withdrew from Chaocheng to Fangcheng, Gao Yuan finally understood why Zhou Yuan ordered the withdrawal of the troops. It was indeed a major event. Qin State did not send troops to Zhao State as planned by Yan State Prime Minister Ye Tiannan, but assembled a large army and went straight to the grassland.

This creates a problem. If Qin State sends troops to Zhao State as Ye Tiannan planned, it can only go through Hangu Pass, and Zhao State will definitely be on guard. With Zhao Mu standing up, it is impossible for Qin State What advantage did Ye Tiannan take? This move by Ye Tiannan was just to allow Qin State to attract Zhao State's main force and relieve Yan State's combat pressure, while the Xiongnu's attack on Dai Commandery could weaken Zhao State's power and make Zhao State very weak in the future. For a long period of time, they can only concentrate the power of the whole country to deal with Qin State, but they are unable to take care of Yan State. In this way, Yan State has enough time to develop its own strength. After all, this time, Yan State will defeat Zhao State Offended badly.

But Qin's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. They gathered their main force and attacked the Xiongnu. For this purpose, they even did not hesitate to plan an empty city at Hangu Pass. Now Zhao Mu is attacking Hangu Pass madly, but in Qin Under Jiang Yingteng's command, there was a stalemate for a while.

"We want to take back our homeland and weaken Zhao State at the same time, but we don't want Zhao State to collapse!" Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice. "A collapsed Zhao State will no longer have the strength to deal with Qin State."

"Taiwei, what if Li Xin loses to the Xiongnu on the grassland?" Jiang Dawei said suddenly: "If the main force of the Qin army loses, and Zhao Mu breaks through the Hangu Pass, then wouldn't it be Qin?"

"Although this possibility is not impossible, we can't think like this!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Qin Jun took such a big risk, naturally he saw that the possibility of a successful blow this time was far greater than what they wanted to take." Risk. Think about it, everyone, the Huns penetrated hundreds of miles into Dai County of Zhao State and robbed a lot of money. Even if they retreat, are these guys willing to throw away what they robbed? Even if the Huns King Yemang is willing, those tribes are willing to So? Even those big tribes are full of people with insight, but are those little people willing? The Huns are not our Central Plains countries. They support wars by fighting, and the soldiers don’t have military pay. Yemang thinks this time It is very safe, but unexpectedly, the Qin army took the back road. The return journey is probably a desperate journey. I can almost imagine that the more than 100,000 cavalry of the Huns will be dragged into a scattered road that is hundreds of miles or even farther away. The troops of the Qin Dynasty rushed back with the things they had plundered, and were smashed by the Qin army."

Zhou Yu said in amazement: "If Li Xin defeats the Xiongnu and sends troops directly into Dai Commandery, Zhao Guo has transferred the standing army there to Hedong, how can the private soldiers of Dai Commandery keep out the wolf-like tigers of Qin Army? Unless Zhao Mu can break through the Hangu Pass, we can force Li Xin not to enter Dai Commandery, but send his troops back to Xianyang!"

Zhou Yuan nodded, "The defeat of the Xiongnu is within ten minutes. If Zhao Mu breaks through the Hangu Pass, then Li Xin will definitely return to help. The Zhao Kingdom can still be stable for the time being. What if Zhao Mu can't break through?"

"So above this node, we can no longer attack the State of Zhao. Give the State of Zhao a little time so that they can concentrate on dealing with the State of Qin!" Tan Feng stood up, "Is that what the Taiwei means?"

"That's right, I think, at this time, the king and the prime minister must have known the news. The order to stop the war should arrive at our place in the near future, and Zhao Guo also knows that we can't continue fighting, let alone Whether they can win against us, even if they are the ones who have the upper hand on the battlefield at the moment, King Zhao will stop the war with us and negotiate peace. What's more, we still have the upper hand at this time?" Zhou Yuan smiled, " Although the battle can no longer be fought, we will eventually return to the five cities, and after Zhao's negotiators arrive, we don't need to spend much effort to force them to sign the alliance under the cities."

"It is of course the best thing to win the last city of Chaos without fighting!" Zhou Yu said, "It's just that this time our country has spent a lot of effort, and in the end it was the Qin people who took the biggest advantage. Once the Xiongnu collapsed, Qin State’s backyard is safe and sound, but Zhao State is about to suffer.”

"The state of Zhao is miserable, where can we get better?" Zhou Yuan stood up, "So, what we have to do is to help the state of Zhao to overcome this difficulty. Let the state of Zhao withstand the Qin army, and we can Let's concentrate on dealing with the Donghu people, and slowly increase our own strength. When Linghu Chao was in power, time wasted a lot."

"If Li Xin really sends troops to replace the county, and Zhao Mu can't attack Hangu Pass, I'm afraid the six countries of the Central Plains will join forces again this time. Otherwise, they can't resist the Qin army's advance!" Tan Yu sighed.

"Let's just watch, look at Qin Jun's appetite this time!" Zhou Yuan sneered, "If the appetite is too big, it will inevitably damage their stomachs."

Going back to his big tent in the camp outside the city, Gao Yuan was full of emotions. Although he was only sitting by the door at Zhou Yuan's place this day, and even though he was not qualified to speak, he still gained a lot. Today, he I finally understand the true meaning of the saying that between countries, there are really no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Just a moment ago, the Yan army under Zhou Yuan's command was still fighting with the Zhao army, wishing to kill Zhao's army to be happy and happy, but in a blink of an eye, they began to discuss with Zhao's army The possibility of Zhao Guo joining forces, how can Zhao Guo maintain a certain strength, if it helps Zhao Guo to resist the Qin army, then what kind of price should be offered to Zhao Wang?

It seems that at that moment, they became friends of Zhao Guoren again. There is no other reason. If Zhao Guo really collapsed, Yan Guo would face Qin Dafeng directly, and King Qin Wulie had great ambitions to unify the Central Plains. It's no secret anymore.

No more fights in Chaocheng, no more arrests for Zhao Qi, even if Zhao Qi is an extremely important person in Zhao country, compared with the safety of the country at this moment, he is a fart, when the original discussion was dispersed, he was detained by Zhao Qi Fang Cheng unfortunately became a prisoner of Zhao Guang, the former general of Zhao State's standing army, who was invited out solemnly. Guang Guang had a good in-depth discussion of the current situation, and it is imperative to release Zhao Guang. Yan Guo needs to show a little attitude to tell King Zhao, don't worry, I will not beat the dog in the water, at this time, I still will give you a hand.

Helping the State of Zhao is helping the State of Yan. The King of Zhao naturally understands this truth. After this difficult time is over, he will turn around and teach the State of Yan that he can fight well. Of course, the State of Yan also has this consciousness. When the lion fights over, The hounds should unite to fight against the lion. After the lion is beaten away, it will not be too late to fight among themselves, and then wait for the next reincarnation.

This is the relationship between countries. Gao Yuan shook his head and returned to his big tent.

Yan Haibo, Naha, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan were all there. They were waiting for Gao Yuan to come back. They were puzzled by the sudden withdrawal of troops from the city of Chao. out.

But there are some things that I can understand, but these guys may not be able to figure it out, and Gao Yuan doesn't have the energy to discuss these issues with them at this time.

"We can't fight anymore!" He said bluntly: "The battle between Yan and Zhao is over. Maybe we will become Zhao's allies and go to fight Qin together."

The four people in the big tent were suddenly dumbfounded.

"Why are you getting involved with the Qin people again? Our place is thousands of miles away from the Qin people!" Meng Chong's eyes widened.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that they will fight. Qin people are so shrewd, how can they watch the alliance of the six countries? King Qin Wulie has such a mind and vision, how can he fail to understand this truth!" Gao Yuan sighed, today, he I have memorized the names of many people, King Qin Wulie, Li Xin, Yingteng, Zhao Mu, I have never heard of them before, they really are frogs at the bottom of the well, I don’t know how big the world is! Just look at Zhou Yuan and others’ fear of these people , you know how powerful these people are.

Who is Zhou Yuan? He is the Taiwei of the Yan Kingdom, and he can be regarded as a well-known general in the world. But when he mentioned the names of Li Xin and Zhao Mu, the unnatural glint in his eyes made Gao Yuan who had been watching him After seeing it clearly, Zhou Yuan was afraid of them, that is to say, Zhou Yuan admitted that he was not their opponent.

Leading the army and fighting to their level, it is really arrogant to the world! Gao Yuan is envious, just a name can make a country's captain feel fear in his heart, when will he reach this level!

And that King Wulie of Qin is not simple, he dared to act like this. He is not a great hero, dare not do it, he just opened the door of his own house, if one is not good, it will bring disaster to the whole family.

In this era, there are too many great people, too many to count. Zhang Shouyue once made me admire him. Zhou Yuan is even better than Zhang Shouyue. How is it easy to turn a fish over? rs
