Chapter 336: Joining Forces

Following Zhang Shouyue's turn to the back hall, he sat in the small hall and drank the hangover soup brought by the girl. After being stimulated by the cold well water, the high spirits of drinking immediately subsided a lot.

"It's really embarrassing to let you see a joke about my family as soon as you entered Liaoxi City!" Zhang Shouyue, who was garnished with fragrant tea and looked at Gao Yuan with a smile, said casually, "The two boys are not at ease now. points!"

Gao Yuan shrugged, "Why do I feel that it is Zhang Gong, you are indulging them?"

Zhang Shouyue put down the teacup and burst out laughing. "Your eyes are really sharp. I was wrong before. I thought I arranged everything for them, but they didn't appreciate it at all. They each had their own grievances. It seemed that I was not a human being. In this case, It's better to let the two of them give it a go, whoever wins is not still a member of my Zhang family? The vitality of captivity is not as strong as that of free-range, and I deeply understand this from your body."

Listening to Zhang Shouyue's description of himself, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just forced. When life and death are at stake, people can always burst out with power that even I can't imagine. I'm not afraid to tell the truth in front of Zhang Gong. It’s something I never expected to get to where I am today.”

"Your future doesn't stop there!" Zhang Shouyue pondered for a moment, and said, "Gao Yuan, although you are young, you have sharp eyesight. You have always supported Shubao clearly during the struggle between my two sons. Are you really optimistic about Shubao?"

Staring at Gao Yuan, Zhang Shouyue's eyes were a little strange, and he tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. Obviously, he had other thoughts in his heart.

"Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean. Here, I can tell Mr. Zhang very clearly that I have no intention of coveting the land of Western Liaoning. Junbao is good at governance, Shubao is brave, and in a peaceful and prosperous age, Junbao is the best. And Chaotic era. Shubao is better, but it's a pity that Junbao and Shubao can't be combined into one. Otherwise, there will be another Zhang Gong in the future." Gao Yuan said calmly.

"According to you, the world will be in chaos!" Zhang Shouyue said thoughtfully.

"Yes, chaos is coming!" Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively. "After the Qin people wiped out the Xiongnu, they will inevitably go west to Hangu Pass. The Chu people hold on to the weak, and the Zhao people don't care about themselves. Our Dayan only wants to conquer the Eastern Hu. When the Qin people come, it is difficult for the six kingdoms of the Central Plains to unite. .This world will be in chaos. Even if Zhang Gong lives in the west of Liaoning, how can he be at peace?"

"So you support Shubao?" Zhang Shouyue asked.

Gao Yuan smiled, "Mr. Zhang. You are in the prime of your life, and everything is under your control. Junbao and Shubao. I think Mr. Zhang will have his own opinions in the future, but as far as I am concerned, Shubao is naturally better. Uncle If Bao is in power in the future, he should join hands with me, but if it is Junbao, it will not always be the case."

Zhang Shouyue shook his head slowly,

Leaning back, his face was full of exhaustion, "I'm over sixty years old, and in the past two years, I feel more and more powerless. I always have to pay back the old debts, so I'm going to take advantage of my clear mind. Let’s take a closer look, this time Dayan conquers Donghu, it’s just my chance to see the two of them clearly, not only by ability, but also by character, let’s make a decision when the time comes!”

"Mr. Zhang is wise." Gao Yuan didn't want to say much on this issue.

"Tell me, if I, Dayan, conquer Donghu, is it possible to compete with the Qin people for this chance to unify China? Although my Yan people live far away, the Qin people also nest in the west. In comparison , we need to do better.”

"No way!" Gao Yuan said decisively.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhang Shouyue wondered. "If I, Dayan, take down Donghu, it won't take long, it only takes ten years to digest it, and the people of Qin want to unify the Central Plains, they must fight Zhao Guo to the death, between this and that, as long as my Yan If people seize the opportunity, can't they still win in chaos?"

"Mr. Zhang, I said that Dayan is not an opponent of the Qin people. It depends on the systems of both sides. Dare I ask Mr. Zhang, if a war broke out between Qin and Yan, and the imperial court ordered you to bring all the elite soldiers from western Liaoning, would you agree? " Gao Yuan asked.

Zhang Shouyue was startled for a while, then slowly shook his head.

"That's right!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Not only you, I believe that all the county guards in Dayan will probably adopt the same method to preserve their strength. But the people of Qin are different. With one order, the soldiers of the country will be defeated in a blink of an eye. It can be gathered in a short time, with unified logistics, unified supplies, and unified command. This battle has not yet been fought, and the victory and defeat will be divided first. He looked up and admired him. Under such circumstances, he was able to stand up to the Qin people and seal them outside the Hangu Pass. In my opinion, Zhao Mu is too strong, if he were to be replaced, Zhao Mu might have defeated the Central Plains long ago."

Zhang Shouyue was silent for a while, then Fang said: "If this is the case, what are you going to do? Just watch the people of Qin rule the country and destroy us all?"

What Zhang Shouyue has been fighting for all his life is to turn Liaoxi County into his own property. He has just succeeded, but if the Qin people call, all this will come to naught, because the Qin people implement centralized counties and counties The system simply does not allow the county guards in various places like the Yan State to guard their own side, and listen to the Yan State court and not listen to the announcement.

"I didn't think so far!" Gao Yuan smiled faintly, "This is something that elders like Zhang Gong should think about. Now I have nothing but a few thousand brothers under me, so I don't have to think about it so much. "

"What if Liaodong is yours in the future?" Zhang Shouyue raised his eyebrows.

Gao Yuan laughed, "Mr. Zhang, do you think that Zhou Yuan, Ning Zecheng and others will allow me to own Liaodong?"

Zhang Shouyue sat up straight all of a sudden, "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Zhang!" Gao Yuan carefully said: "The conquest of Donghu will naturally take me and Mr. Zhang's Liaoxi County as the forward. , it just happens to be a good time to pick peaches. At that time, they will be powerful and we will be weak, so naturally they will have the final say on everything.”

Zhang Shouyue sneered, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Gao Yuan, if you own Liaodong, I will occupy Liaoxi, and your husband-in-law will occupy Langya. If we join hands in the three places, we will definitely gain a lot of power. At that time, we can wait for the valley to sell it." , move according to the time, do you agree?"

"I have to talk about it after Liaodong is in my hands!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "To be honest, Mr. Zhang, I am more concerned about saving my life now. Zhou Ning and I have plotted once. If I come again If not, then this battle of Donghu is an excellent opportunity."

"Don't worry about that. With me here, we definitely can't let them succeed." Zhang Shouyue thought for a moment, "Now is the perfect time to fight Donghu, and I have received definite information that my old opponent, Miranda, is dying soon. .Hey, after fighting him for half my life, this guy is finally going to die before me."

"Miranda is dying?" Gao Yuan straightened up all of a sudden, and the last bit of drunkenness disappeared.

Zhang Shouyue nodded emphatically, "The past few decades have not been in vain. I still buried a few deep nails in Donghu. Miranda is now holding on. In my opinion Come on, once Miranda dies, there will be civil strife in Donghu."

"You mean, the battle between Thorpe and the Thork brothers!" Gao Yuan said.

"That's right. Miranda was seriously ill, but he kept it from Suoke. Instead of calling him back to Helin, Helin repeatedly issued orders for Suoke to attack Fufeng. Do you know that?" Zhang Shouyue laughed. .

"Fufeng was not attacked!" Gao Yuan said.

"Sock is certainly not a fool. He can get the information I can get, so he took this opportunity to gather troops and horses in Yulin, but he didn't attack according to He Lin's intention. Where the soldiers will go is of course It's predictable." Zhang Shouyue laughed.

"That Thorpe?"

"As I expected, Thorpe must be on his way back to Helin now!" Zhang Shouyue said, "Last time Miranda had to punish Thorpe because of Yulin's loss, but now it seems that Miranda I really like Thorpe very much, it is inevitable that Thorpe will be in charge of Donghu."

"Nasok will definitely launch a rebellion!"

"Sock might already be on the move now, but, Miranda has a deep plan. He has recruited all the chiefs and important ministers of the major tribes of Donghu to Helin. The elite soldiers that Sock can gather are limited. Once they fight , Sock's failure is certain. In addition, Thorpe is indeed much better than Sock, and there is little suspense in this brotherly battle."

"Whether there is suspense or not, we can take advantage." Gao Yuan suddenly became excited, stood up and walked around the room a few times, "Mr. Zhang, if we can take this opportunity to occupy Yulin in one fell swoop, then For the next battle, it will be much easier."

"The Liaoxi army is already making preparations. Where are you, are you ready?" Zhang Shouyue asked with a smile.

"Fengfeng Jianer, always rest on your pillow!" Gao Yuan clenched his fists.

"That's good, but you don't have to worry. Even so, you won't be able to fight this year anyway. You, you'd better marry Ye Jing'er home first!" Zhang Shouyue laughed loudly. .

Gao Yuan smiled smugly, compared to the seasoned Zhang Shouyue, he still couldn't hold his breath after all, "Mr. Zhang, it's not that I'm impatient. If we can take Yulin, it will be like hitting a big nail in the land of Liaodong." If you go in, you can attack Helin, and if you defend, you will threaten the four sides, which can make Donghu lose ground and be at a loss. How important is Yulin, if it weren't for such a big problem within Donghu, how could we have taken him so easily?"

"Didn't you succeed in a thousand-mile raid back then?"

"That's different. What's more, that time I just fought and left, and I didn't even think about where to stay." Gao Yuan smiled, "This time I have to fight openly with swords and guns. Where are you going to take root?"
