Chapter 480: News

In the middle of the night, the heavy rain finally stopped. Although there was a tent to keep out the wind and rain, it was still very cold. Gao Yuan was wrapped in a blanket and lay on the felt blanket with his clothes on, but he couldn't sleep at all. Can Jishi City block the wind and rain? Feng's offensive is what he is most worried about right now. If something happens there, he will inevitably have a life-and-death duel with Tan Feng. No matter who wins or loses, it is not in his own interest.

Right now, Yan State still needs to maintain a certain strength to cope with external pressure. I also need time to strengthen my strength and manage my own territory well.

But if Jishi City is really broken, how should I deal with it? Worrying about this problem, I don't know how long it has passed before Gao Yuanfang fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept. In my sleep, it seemed that the sound of horseshoes was coming towards this direction. Gao Yuan opened his eyes suddenly. It was not an illusion, but the sound of horseshoes was actually coming towards his big tent.

During this period of time, those who can gallop their horses straight to their big tent can only jump up from Gao Yuan because of an emergency military situation. He had just stood still when the sound of horseshoes suddenly stopped outside the big tent.

"General, I am Tianci!" The tent door was suddenly opened, and Cao Tianci stepped in. The nude Cao Tianci stood in front of Gao Yuan like a drowned rat.

After defeating Zhou Yu, Cao Tianci left the brigade and ran towards Jishi City with a small group of people. Gao Yuan wanted them to find a way to inform the defenders in Jishi City that he was on his way back. Godsend actually came back.

"What happened?" Gao Yuan's heart sank, and a bad feeling filled his heart. "Has Jishi City fallen?"

"No, it's not!" Cao Tianci shook his head repeatedly. "It's not about Jishi City. General, Jishi City is safe and sound. Just two days ago, the defenders of Jishi City defeated the Yan army and wiped out more than 10,000 enemies. The soldiers of Liaoxi County and Tianhe County were almost completely lost. Jishi City is as stable as a rock. "

"How do you know? You should not have arrived at Jishi City yet!" Gao Yuan was a little puzzled. According to Cao Tianci's speed, it was impossible for him to return to find himself at this point after arriving at Jishi City.

"I didn't rush to Jishi City. I ran into people sent by Yi Bin on the way. Zhou Yu had already returned to Fufeng, and there were about 3,000 standing troops who fled back to Fufeng with him. And just as Zhou Yu fled back to Fufeng, Time. Jishi City has also won the victory, and now Tan Feng has begun to withdraw his troops." Cao Tianci said.

"That's all?" Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci. Once Tan Feng knew that he had won, and he couldn't take Jishi City in time, it was his best choice to withdraw immediately and run away. This was expected. But looking at Cao Tianci's face, it was obvious that there was more than this.

"besides,

And..." Cao Tianci hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is one more thing about Madam's parents. "

"Ye Xiang? Father-in-law? He's far away in Langya. What happened?" Gao Yuan looked at him puzzled.

"The people sent by Yi Bin told me that a month ago, just a few days after Tan Feng arrived in Fufeng, they sent people to Langya to arrest Ye Xiang's family and take them to Jicheng. Langya has now been taken over by the court. It's gone." Cao Tianci looked at Gao Yuan and said carefully.

Hearing this news suddenly, Gao Yuan was shocked. Although Langya County is very rich now, it is really lackluster in terms of military affairs. The only private soldier with outstanding combat effectiveness was given to Ye Jinger as a dowry. Even so, Yan Lingwei of Tan Feng was not able to take people away from Langya County at will.

Obviously, the father-in-law is willing to go. Gao Yuan paced back and forth in the big tent. It seemed that it was because of himself that he was labeled as a collaborator and treason by Tan Feng and others, so his father-in-law wanted to clear up this grievance for him, and use his love for the king. Influence, there may still be hope for accomplishing this.

My father-in-law used to make things difficult for me in many ways, and even wanted his own life at one point, but Gao Yuan had to admit that he is a person with a very strategic vision and a great overall view. He is also a person who treats others and himself. They are all extremely ruthless characters. Back then, he abandoned his wife and son and resolutely went into exile in another country. After ten years of planning, he was resettled once, but after affirming his own value, he spared no effort to support himself. He was stunned, but now, for himself, he was willing to be humiliated by Yan Lingwei, so he couldn't help being moved from the bottom of his heart.

"I understand, Tianci, you have worked so hard all the way, go down and take a good hot bath, and get some sleep." Gao Yuan patted Cao Tianci on the shoulder and said softly.

Cao Tianci was a little dumbfounded, "General Gao, Tan Feng is about to withdraw. Now we are strong and strong, and it is time to beat the dogs in the water. General, if we set off quickly with cavalry to attack the opponent, we may be able to keep all these guys behind." ah!"

Seeing Cao Tianci's yelling, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, my little Tianci's eyesight is not bad now, it's great to be able to see this, but this matter, I myself If you have a plan, the underdogs will be beaten, but to what extent you need to decide."

"General, of course it's better to fight thoroughly. Kill them all before you can breathe out. They put black hats on the general for no reason, ambushed us halfway, and sent a large army to attack Jishi City. That's the same They are all heinous crimes." Cao Tianci said angrily.

"Godsent, you are in charge of the intelligence work of my conquest of the Eastern Army. To do intelligence work, you need not only the various professional capabilities of a spy, but sometimes you need accurate political judgment and an overall view beyond ordinary people. You You have to see farther than others, so that you can lay out the chess game in advance, instead of grinding your guns before the battle. If you can only do the first thing, then you will be an excellent spy in your life, and my hope for you is You can become a character like Zhongli from the Black Ice Tower of Qin State. Do you know why I want you to study more in your spare time? Do you know why I want you to worship Jiang Changshi as your teacher? That's why." Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci, Meaningful and authentic.

"But, General, I still don't understand why you let Zhou Yu go, Tan Feng." Listening to Gao Yuan's Chun Chun's teaching, Cao Tianci's eyes turned red.

"Tianci, are we strong now?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Of course strong. The main force of the Yan Kingdom was lost to Donghu. They are no longer our opponents."

"Aside from the country of Yan, what if we face the country of Zhao?" Gao Yuan asked.

Cao Tianci was stunned for a moment.

"Tianci, don't forget that there is not only Yan in this world, but also Zhao, which is much stronger than Yan, and Qin, which is stronger than Zhao. Our strength is still very weak, although Yan is extremely weak now. , but the king of Yan still has the title of righteousness, he is still the king of the country of Yan. We need him to resist external erosion and give us time to grow stronger. Now is not the time for us to show off. We want the country of Yan to fight for us For a long time, a group of capable generals like Zhou Yu and Tan Feng will be indispensable, and these Yan troops who attack us will also be the seeds of Yan's resistance to the outside world, so we have to keep them. "

"But General, we have turned against them now!" Cao Tianci said puzzledly.

Gao Yuan smiled, "There is no permanent enemy in the world. I don't want much now, just Liaoxi County. When we take Liaoxi County, I think King Yan will change his strategy towards me. At that time, we We can negotiate."

"I understand!" Cao Tianci's eyes flashed, "The king of Yan is in the front to resist the attack of Zhao Guo and other powerful powers, while we quietly hide in the west of Liaoxi to develop our strength. Endgame. At that time, the King of Yan will be retreating steadily, unable to form an army, but as soon as we go out, we will be able to repel the enemy and regain our homeland. At that time, King Yan's prestige will be at the lowest level, while the general's prestige will be at its peak. , In this way, when the general replaces King Yan, the people's reaction will not be so strong."

"A child can be taught!" Gao Yuan laughed loudly, and replaced King Yan with such a straightforward declaration. Only in front of Cao Tianci would Gao Yuan say it so unscrupulously. In front of other generals, Although everyone understands it, Gao Yuan has always said it very secretly, and he will never say it if he can let the generals say it.

It's just that the news brought by Cao Tianci must have been news a long time ago, and the news that Ye Tiannan, the former Prime Minister of Yan State, died tragically before the Yan Palace, is still on the way. If Gao Yuan at this time hears that Ye Tiannan and his wife are dead , I don't know if I can have such a normal heart.

Ye Tiannan is indeed a person with a long-term strategic vision. When he set off from Langya, he did so voluntarily. Originally, he wanted to use his influence on the King of Yan to wash away Gao Yuan's grievances. This point, Gao Yuan guessed By the way, Ye Zhong's meeting with Ye Tiannan in Tianhe County finally made Ye Tiannan's thoughts go away. Since the King of Yan has done something to Ye Zhong and Xun Xiu, he will no longer make false remarks to himself. Might have more leverage over the ambitious king. And from Ye Chong's mouth, when he knew that Gao Yuan had quietly built Jishi City deep in the grassland, he immediately understood Gao Yuan's intention to replace King Yan.

It became Ye Tiannan's wish to give Gao Yuan an excuse to dig a hoe on the foundation of the Yan Dynasty's building that was about to collapse. Everyone in the world knows that without him, there would be no King Yan now, and if he died before King Yan's palace, he would smear a handful of dirt on King Yan's face heavily, and make King Yan bear an ungrateful sentence on his back. Fame, and more importantly, he didn't want himself to be a drag on Gao Yuan's future. If he was alive in Jicheng, Gao Yuan would definitely throw a mouse when he attacked in the future, and King Yan would throw himself out as a weapon.

After figuring this out, Ye Tiannan would hesitate any longer, and death became his best choice. Before he died, he didn't have the slightest regret. If Gao Yuan succeeds in the future, his daughter will be the queen, and Ye Feng entrusted it to Ye Zhong. In the future, Gao Yuan will be grateful for his help. .

What's wrong with exchanging my own death for the prosperity of the Riye family in the future?
