Chapter 288: Back to Ji City

; Listening to Xun Xiu's words, Ye Tiannan's face inevitably became even uglier.

"It's no wonder that Ning Zecheng spared no effort to show his favor, and Zhou Yuan also promoted him vigorously. It turns out that the roots are here!"

Xun Xiu chuckled, "They want to win Gao Yuan over, but Tian Nan, why are they your opponents? Just shake your finger, and Gao Yuan will come to your door obediently."

Hearing these words, Ye Tiannan's expression turned even uglier. Unlike Xun Xiu, Ye Tiannan still has face after all. Everyone in Jicheng knew that he didn't want this son-in-law. , wouldn't it make the world laugh to death. Gritting his teeth, the aristocratic arrogance deep in Ye Tiannan's heart rose again.

Xun Xiu watched Ye Tiannan's face change, he knew this disciple very well, before Ye Tiannan could speak, he said: "Tiannan, after ten years of hard work, you still haven't seen through it? What is face? Can he serve as food or as a soldier? We fled all the way back then, begged for food, and stole things. In the past ten years, I watched you grow up step by step from a green youth. I thought your heart had already You're mature enough, now it looks like you're still a step behind!"

"gentlemen!"

"In the past, Gao Yuan was just a small county lieutenant. He was of no help to us. If you don't want him, you don't want to. But now, he will soon become General Zhengdong. Your objection will not be effective. Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng will definitely Will agree, the king also intends to support the new power, this is the general trend, so why don't you capture him back. As long as there is Miss, Tiannan, you can keep Gao Yuan by your side without any effort." Xun Xiu said: "It was General Zhengdong, a tiger and ben army with thousands of people. Ye Zhong has seen Gao Yuan's soldiers, so he should know how powerful they are."

"That's right, a lofty soldier can be called an elite." Ye said with a nod.

"Sir, Mr. Gao Yuan, now it seems that he is not an ordinary person. He will not know what I have done before. Even if I agree to his marriage, will he be grateful to me and belong to my sect? I think this It's impossible, I don't expect to have nothing and nothing." Ye Tiannan said.

"Confused!" Xun Xiu frowned, "Gao Yuan may be dissatisfied with you, but with a connection like Miss, what kind of conflict can't be resolved? Then again, even if Gao Yuan doesn't belong to you Under Yemen, but it will not be against you. If you are in any danger, this person will definitely take action. As long as you have such a relationship with him, he is a powerful weapon. Anyone who wants to deal with you, You have to think about Gao Yuan's attitude first. What's more, I believe that with your ability, it is easy for everyone to believe that Gao Yuan has already belonged to your sect. Isn't it?"

Ye Tiannan fell silent.

"Guo Xiang, in fact, from the beginning to the end, you didn't say a word about the marriage of the young lady, did you? At the time of Fufeng, Mr. Xun and Mrs. Xun and his wife made the decision, and it has nothing to do with you. And later, didn’t you give Gao Yuan a chance? Without the chance you gave him, he would have been able to soar into the sky and become a blockbuster. Although there are some discussions outside, as long as we grasp this point, we can easily refute it.” Ye Zhong said:” Just say that Xiangye, you are just trying to test Gao Yuan, and now that Gao Yuan has passed your assessment, then the marriage with Miss will naturally come to fruition."

Xun Xiu laughed, "Ye Zhong's words are good. That's the reason, Tian Nan, I'll take care of these matters of public opinion. After a few days of safekeeping, Jicheng will say that you, Ye Xiangye, have the eyes and know the pearl." , Discovered another famous general for my Dayan. At the beginning, Miss was famous all over the world for her long hair and waist, but now, it’s time for lovers to get married.”

Listening to the two people's words, Ye Tiannan's face gradually relaxed, at this moment, it seemed that everything he did to Gao Yuan was really just to temper this son-in-law," the gentleman said, and he turned around and asked his wife to go to Jingci Temple Take Jing'er back, um, let Feng'er go together, let Feng'er tell her."

"It's so good!" Xun Xiu clapped his hands and laughed.

Naturally, Gao Yuan didn't know that his marriage with Ye Jing'er had taken a 180-degree turn at this moment. He didn't even know that his title of a miscellaneous general had become a real one. General Zhengdong is a real job that can open a government and build a government. At this moment, he is like a primary school student, listening to this person's teachings in front of Zhou Yuan.

Since the end of the war, Zhou Yuan has shown extraordinary enthusiasm for Gao Yuan. Since the withdrawal of troops by the Yishui River, Gao Yuan has been greeted by him to walk side by side, which made other generals envious and jealous, but I can't say anything, Gao Yuan's performance in this battle is indeed impeccable.

Zhou Yuan's call to Gao Yuan to be by his side was naturally not aimless, in addition to expressing his respect for him, in addition, understanding the details of the Donghu people was also Zhou Yuan's top priority.

The battle of Yanzhao is over, and the next step, Zhou Yuan's eyes have turned to Donghu. If Yan Guo wants to make a difference in this era, it is impossible to do it without pulling out the nail of Donghu, but Gao Yuan is exactly like this The best candidate, he was born in the border town, grew up in the border town, and fought against the Donghu people for several years. Last year, he made a surprise attack with thousands of horses and thousands of miles, and burned the Donghu people's Yulin Camp. This battle has made great contributions. Speaking of the understanding of Donghu people, I am afraid that apart from Zhang Shouyue, the only one in front of me is Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan was naturally willing to kill Donghu. Only in the war can he show his value and he can go further. If the court wants to deal with Donghu, it will be in his arms. Regarding Zhou Yuan's question, he is He knows everything and talks endlessly. Moreover, Gao Yuan himself has benefited a lot from Zhou Yuan's conversation. Regardless of Zhou Yuan's standpoint, he is a captain of a country after all, and he stands taller. Naturally, he sees farther. At least for now, Gao Yuan feels that he cannot compare with this person in terms of strategic vision. Compared with Zhou Yuan's strategic conception, his previous ideas are completely child's play Well, it's not worth mentioning at all.

This is the national war! Gao Yuan said in his heart.

In the midst of this friendly conversation, this large army finally entered the range of Jicheng, and the standing army of Yan State left the large army and ran towards their respective guarding places, except for the main generals of each department who still followed Outside of Zhou Yuan, when they reached the outskirts of Jicheng, there was only an army of less than 3,000 left behind them.

Gao Yuan finally saw Jicheng.

This is a city that shocked him. When he came from Fufeng to Liaoxi, he was shocked by the majesty of Liaoxi, but now, he saw the capital of Yan Kingdom. Compared with it, Liaoxi City is like Fufeng City. Not worth mentioning at all.

Looking around, he didn't see the edge of the city at all. The towering city walls stretched out endlessly to both sides, as if they stretched all the way to the horizon.

A few horses galloped from the direction of the city, walked up to him, dismounted, and bowed in front of Zhou Yuan's horse.

"Congratulations to Mr. Taiwei for his triumphant return!" The leader shouted loudly.

Zhou Yuan's complexion sank slightly, and he returned triumphantly. Could this be the welcome ceremony given to him by the king? Looking at the people in front of him, he wanted to yell at him.

"Master Taiwei, please detour around the east gate. Wang Shang personally leads civil and military officials, and all the people in the city, outside the east gate, to clean up the dust for Taiwei!" Before the attack, said it out loud.

"East Gate?" Zhou Yuan was surprised.

"Yes, Dongmen, Your Majesty said that it is not Dongmen who can't reward the Taiwei's merits!" The visitor said.

Zhou Yuan's face was relaxed, and his face was full of joy. Since the founding of Dayan, the soldiers who opened the east gate to welcome the return from the expedition can count on their fingers.

"Your Majesty loves you so much, I feel ashamed!" Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, Your Majesty will open the east gate to welcome you back."

Following Zhou Yuan's yell, countless generals and soldiers behind him cheered loudly. Now the rest here, except for the generals, are all troops stationed in the city. Of course they know what it means to open the east gate. It is a supreme honor, and it means a rich reward.

Only Gao Yuan was at a loss. In his mind, is there any difference between opening the east gate and opening the west gate?

Tan Feng rode his horse to Gao Yuan's side calmly, and said in a low voice: "The Dongmen Avenue is more than ten li long, and it is straight. The end of this road is the palace of my Dayan. There will be no more than ten times to welcome soldiers returning from expeditions, this is the highest honor for Dayan’s expeditionary officers.”

It was only then that Gao Yuan suddenly realized. No wonder the expression on Zhou Yuan's face changed from cloudy to sunny, just like the sky in June, it changed so quickly. He never thought that King Yan would value his victory so much!

The troops quickly turned around and ran all the way to the east gate. Knowing that King Yan was waiting for them at the east gate, all the soldiers were very excited, and the team walked much more neatly than usual.

Going this way, Gao Yuan finally experienced the size of Jicheng again. They actually walked for half an hour from the west gate to the east gate. Twenty miles.

When they appeared at the east gate, they were mentally prepared and shocked. On the top of the city, there were lights and festoons, and hundreds of big drums lined up on the top of the city were beating at the same time. However, Ji Ping, the current supreme ruler of Yan State, did not stand on the top of the city to look down at his army, but stood in front of the opened city gate. Officials, nobles and ministers are all dressed in brand-new clothes and stand solemnly.

At this moment, Gao Yuan's attention was not on King Yan, he was just staring at a middle-aged man who was one step behind King Yan. Although he had never met him before, Gao Yuan knew when he saw him. It must be Ye Tiannan, Jing'er's father.
