Chapter 287: National Policy

; Zhou Yuan and Chunyuyan looked at each other, both of them showed surprise in their eyes, especially Chunyuyan, who had just returned from Handan of Zhao State, and knew the situation there clearly.

The envoy of the Qin State wanted an explanation, and in Handan, there was indeed a wave of public opinion. Zhao Guo had failed on both fronts, and someone must be responsible. Zhao Qi had already been kicked out of Handan, but this did not make some people satisfy.

Zhao Mu's goal is really too big. He has controlled Zhao's team for many years, and there are already people who want to get rid of it quickly. There is no better opportunity than this time. There were only more than 20,000 people, but in the end, Zhao Mu failed to take down Hangu Pass. Although Zhao Jun killed Yingteng, Zhao State lost the best chance to defeat Qin State in one fell swoop. Domestic demands punish Zhao Mu's voice came and went, endlessly.

For Zhao Mu, Zhao Wang is inseparable from it, but he has doubts. The key lies in the relationship between him and Zi Lan, which has become a dream in Zhao Wang's heart. If these two join forces, his The throne is bound to be lost. But during the battle at Hangu Pass, Zi Lan went straight from Dai County to Hangu Pass, which shocked King Zhao even more. It caused a lot of trouble.

"Then do you think King Zhao will punish Zhao Mu?" Zhou Yuan asked with interest.

Gao Yuan thought for a moment, "Taiwei, if Zhao Wang is not completely confused, I don't think he will do anything to Zhao Mu. After all, Zhao Mu is the military god of Zhao State. I don't know what happened above, but soldiers I am afraid that you are very supportive of him, and Zhao Wang can't afford this relationship, but I am afraid that Zhao Mu will withdraw from the stage in a short time."

"Well said!" Chunyuyan clapped his hands vigorously, "Gao Yuan, you are right, Zhao Mu has suffered a big loss this time, at the pass of Hangu, he was so angry that he vomited blood, retreated to Hedong, He was attacked by the country again, and this person is not of ordinary people, so he immediately wrote a letter to resign. Now, he is already an idler. However, King Zhao's punishment of him ended here, that is, he did not deprive him of his title. Not to mention driving him out of Handan."

"Even so, it depends on the development of the current situation!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Now that the threat of the Qin State is here, King Zhao has no choice but to confess Zhao Mu. If something happens, he can use it at any time, but the time After a long time, he will inevitably slack off, and once Zhao Mu leaves the army, his enemies will probably not be idle, and will definitely infiltrate the army. Even if Zhao Mu is reactivated in the future, the Zhao army may no longer be Zhao Jun is now."

"Then tell me, what will the Qin army do now? Attack Zhao with the momentum of a great victory, or will they hide their strengths and bide their time to wait for the opportunity?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"The state of Qin will definitely die down now. Firstly, it will restore its strength. This time, their military loss will be much greater than that of Zhao State. Second, they will definitely wait for the situation in Zhao State to change. This time, Zhao State will be defeated. It can be said that the defeat was extremely complete, and the forces opposing Zhao Wuji in the country are bound to rise, and there may be internal strife, no matter what they do, Qin will reap the benefits of the fisherman." Gao Yuan said.

Zhou Yuan and Chunyuyan stared at Gao Yuan, and the admiration in Chunyuyan's eyes was already lingering.

"Gao Yuan, is this good for us? What should we do?" Chunyu Yan asked suddenly.

"Gao Yuan doesn't know if there are any benefits!" Gao Yuan smiled, "But I know that Zhao Guo can be weak, but it must not collapse, so during this period of time, we Yan Guo should give them the necessary help. until we are strong."

"How powerful is Yan?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"Donghu!" Gao Yuan pointed his finger to the northeast, "Take down Donghu!"

Zhou Yuan's face remained calm, but his heart was horrified. He used to only think of Gao Yuan as a warrior on the battlefield, but he never thought that his strategic thinking was so far-reaching. Gao Yuan's thoughts coincided with his own. The country's next national policy, a small county lieutenant, can actually have such a skill, it is really shocking.

Ye Tiannan, you don't want such a good son-in-law? A shadow flashed across Zhou Yuan's heart.

One moment is another moment. Will Ye Tiannan still be like a stone in a latrine like before, smelly and hard?

Yan Guo Zhao Mu! Zhou Yuan chewed these four words carefully in his heart.

A few days later, on the banks of the Yishui River, banners were flying and people were buzzing. The Yan army began to move back to the court. Groups of soldiers came out of the camp and walked home happily.

Gao Yuan's subordinates were naturally very excited. It was rainy when they came, and their mood was as gloomy as the weather. No one knew whether they would be able to go back alive. Everyone's mood. Yan Haibo, Naha, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan will lead the five thousand subordinates across Yuyang, Hejian, and return to Fufeng in western Liaoning. There are important things to do, this huge windfall is enough for Fufeng soldiers to live a good life for a period of time, and Gao Yuan will return to Jicheng with Zhou Yuan to receive the reward, as the person who ranks first in the credit list, He will get the title of a general, of course, this title of general is just a miscellaneous number.

The infantry accompanied Gao Yuan with twenty cavalry as guards, but Cao Tianci had already rushed to Jicheng ahead of time. Gao Yuan was naturally eager to let Ye Jing'er of Jicheng know this good news as soon as possible.

Jicheng, Yefu.

Ye Tiannan's face was gloomy. He just came back from the palace. He saw Zhou Yuan's memorial and Gao Yuan's eye-catching name ranked first. He was so angry that he almost tore up the memorial. A smash, Jiang Dawei is really a useless thing, as a county sheriff, he can't do anything to a small county captain, Zhou Yuan is not a thing, is this slapping himself in the face?

In fact, Ye Tiannan blamed Zhou Yuan wrongly. Zhou Yuan didn't care about selling his favor as long as it didn't affect the battle of the Yan army. Excellent, he did incredible things under absolutely unfavorable conditions. If Gao Yuan hadn't been under such extreme conditions and tried to gather those mobs together, Gao Yuan would be a pile of bones now.

Yan Wang Ji Ping smiled meaningfully, "Gao Yuan, the country's good general!"

This evaluation made Ye Tiannan even more mixed.

Outsiders thought that Ji Ping was just a puppet of Ye Tiannan, but Ye Tiannan knew that this young man whom he single-handedly put on the throne was by no means easy to get along with. How could it be possible for the prince to be like a flower growing up in the palace? He has been in exile for so many years, and he has escaped countless times from the assassins of Linghu and Zhao, how could he not have any skills?

From the very beginning when Ji Ping came to power, he showed a very high level of political accomplishment. He was impartial among the three chariots of the Yan Kingdom, and he did not favor Ye Tiannan because Ye Tiannan shared the joys and sorrows with him.

"Your Majesty is going to appoint Gao Yuan as General Zhengdong!" Looking at Xun Xiu, Ye Tiannan said sullenly.

"General Zhengdong? Didn't you say it was General Fenwei?" Xun Xiu was taken aback. General Fenwei is a false name, a miscellaneous general, but General Zhengdong is different. Command the whole military force. When going out, set up a general, and it will be abolished after the war. Others, such as dragons and knights, have a high status, but they do not lead the actual army. The four towns, that is, conquer the east, conquer the west, conquer the north, conquer the south generals, four towns, town east, town west, town north, town south generals, these four towns and four towns are the permanent positions of the standing army of Yan State.

During Ye Tiannan's coup, he supported Ji Ping to come to power. Three of the original generals of the Four Zhengs and Four Towns were pulled down because of their attachment to Linghu Di, and this General Zhengdong was one of them.

At this time, Yan Wang Ji Ping decided to grant Gao Yuan the official position of East General, which is of great significance, especially since the highest level of Yan State has decided to use troops against Dong Hu immediately after the truce between Yan and Zhao. In connection with Gao Yuan's resume, Ji Ping wants The determination to reuse Gaoyuan has been clearly seen.

"General Zhengdong!" Ye Tiannan emphasized his tone, "Gao Yuan was granted the title of General Fenwei on Zhou Yuan's memorial, but the king decided to give him the title of General Zhengdong!" He snorted heavily, "After this , Ning Zecheng put in a lot of effort."

Xun Xiu was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty is not a foolish person, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. What did Ning Zecheng let the Majesty know?"

"All the details of the battle!" Ye Tiannan said: "Ning Zecheng's Yan Lingwei recorded all the details of Gao Yuan's battle and handed them over to the king. This is the reason that made the king make up his mind. Didn't see these things."

"National Prime Minister!" Ye Zhong whispered on the side: "I heard some news in the palace."

"Say!" Ye Tiannan said.

"When Gao Yuan went to the expedition, he brought more than a thousand soldiers, but after the war, his army has expanded to more than 5,000. When others fight, the number of soldiers is getting smaller and smaller, but he is fighting more and more." Ye Chong said.

"Where did these soldiers come from?" Ye Tiannan changed his expression.

"It's those miscellaneous soldiers from various counties. After several battles, these soldiers actually bowed their heads to Gao Yuan, unwilling to return to the original borrowing, and wanted to follow Gao Yuan to Fufeng!"

Looking at Ye Tiannan's suspicious eyes, Ye Zhong said immediately, "The Prime Minister wants me to try to infiltrate some people into the Yanling Guard. I have some clues here. Where did the news come from?" .”

"Five thousand people?" Xun Xiu took a breath, "If you add the troops he left in Fufeng, then Gao Yuan's subordinates already have six or seven thousand warriors who dare to fight. With his military training ability, he must be able to Train these soldiers into warriors. If the king further named him General Zhengdong, then Gao Yuan and his subordinates would become my Dayan's standing army in one fell swoop. His dear elbow, this person will surely soar into the sky."

Hearing Xun Xiu's words, and remembering the scene under Fufeng Nanshan, Ye Zhong felt goosebumps all over his body.
