Chapter 482: Tacit Understanding

Knowing Gao Yuan's intentions, Tan Feng really had mixed feelings in his heart, no longer confined by the cavalry's back, he led the team directly to join Hu Yanchao. ; Sure enough, as he expected, even if he joined Hu Yanchao, the opponent's cavalry did not take the opportunity to harass and attack the infantry, but still followed them leisurely.

"Commander Tan!" Hu Yanchao looked at the looming opponent's cavalry behind him with some puzzlement: "What does Gao Yuan mean?"

Tan Feng shook his head, "Let's go, the opponent won't attack. They just want to force us back."

"Not far ahead is Juliguan. Although it is not big, it is extremely dangerous. A thousand people stationed there can block the opponent's pursuit!" Hu Yanchao squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

"No, don't enter Juliguan!" Tan Feng sighed, "We won't enter Juliguan, let's go around. Not only Juliguan, but also Fufeng, send someone to inform General Zhou, let General Zhou Take his men out of Fufeng."

"Just give up like this?"

"It's not that I want to give up. Have you seen the opponent's cavalry? Why don't they attack? That's their purpose. If we have the intention to enter Juliguan and Fufeng, their cavalry will immediately send out thunderous attacks." s attack."

"Our army can form an army formation at this time, and we are not afraid of our opponents."

"But under their entanglement, how long can we last? One day, two days, and then? Gao Yuan's infantry has not yet appeared, and when his cavalry harass us to the point of exhaustion, the infantry will launch a fatal blow. I'm afraid our army will be defeated, General Hu, this is the last formed unit of our Dayan standing army." Tan Feng's eyes were full of worry, "This is also the meaning of Gao Yuan's refusal to attack, and he also Don't want to annihilate us here. It won't do him any good!"

"Is he so kind?"

"It's not good intentions. Now Zhao Guo and Zhao Mu are attacking Yuyang to regain Fangcheng, Weicheng, and Lincheng. Confusing the city. The strategic intention of the whole city is already obvious. If we lose these cities, Zhao Guo will regain them. Strategic advantage over our country. Gao Yuan doesn't want this, so he should want to let us go back intact, and then put this force into the front line of Yuyang."

"Is this bastard thinking of Dayan so much?" Hu Yanchao couldn't believe Tan Feng's words.

"He's not thinking about Dayan. He's thinking about himself. Once we leave, half of the country to the east will still have his opponents there. What he needs is a chance to recuperate." Tan Feng let out a breath.

Hu Yanchao frowned and thought for a moment,

The more I think about it, the more frightened I become, "Commander Tan. This person and I, Dayan, have already formed an endless feud this time. Now that there is such a good opportunity to hit us hard, he can't hold back. Such a person .terrible."

"A minister capable of governing the world, a hero in troubled times!" Tan Feng looked up to the sky and sighed. Take one step at a time. If Dayan is overturned one day, it must be at the hands of this person."

"It shouldn't be like this!" Hu Yanchao said in shock: "Da Yan's defeat after this is indeed a serious injury. Externally, he may have more energy than power, but internally, he should not lose control. It only takes a few years." With the recovery time, Dayan gathered all the strength of the whole country, but Gao Yuan who lives in a corner can't be calmed down?"

Tan Feng shook his head in pain, "It's a remote place. Gao Yuan's meaning is very clear. He wants Liaoxi, but we have to give him Liaoxi. From then on, Gao Yuan not only owns Liaoxi, but also Hejian. Hejian has already been beaten badly by him, and Gaoyuan has already owned Yingkou and other two bridgeheads in Hejian County. Now I finally understand why Gaoyuan has repeatedly attacked Yan Shenghao. This is what he meant. Half of the country in the east of Dayan, all Falling into the hands of Gao Yuan, coupled with his close relationship with the Huns, forming a powerful cavalry is just around the corner. You may not have seen Gao Yuan's ability to train troops, but I have witnessed it with my own eyes. I can It is conceivable that after two years, we may face an army more terrifying than Zhao Jun and Qin Bing."

He paused, "As for us, we can indeed gather the strength of the whole country to reorganize the army. This time the army brought back can be used as the basic skeleton, and the negotiations with the Donghu people can also make tens of thousands of people in Helin put down their arms. The army returned to the country, but we are facing even greater difficulties, we have to support the country of Yan, but Gao Yuan can ignore it."

Hearing Tan Feng's analysis, Hu Yanchao's face was also extremely difficult to look at. He is a pure general, and it is difficult to connect such a complicated domestic and foreign situation with the matter in front of him, but Tan Feng made it clear that his mood also All of a sudden it became extremely heavy.

"Is it unsolvable?"

Tan Feng was silent for a moment, "Let's put our hope in Donghu. After this incident, I will send people into Donghu, promise a lot of profits, and let Donghu people keep sending troops to harass and attack, so as to delay Gaoyuan's development."

"Donghu people will be fooled by such an obvious strategy, and that Thorpe is very shrewd." Hu Yanchao said worriedly.

"Gaoyuan kept taking in the Huns, and more and more Huns gathered under his banner. The greater the power, the greater the threat to the Donghu people. Even if he didn't want to provoke the Donghu people, how could the Donghu people stand by? Watching a powerful army rise at their doorstep. Once Gao Yuan becomes strong, Dong Hu will be the first to be dealt with. He also covets the vast land controlled by Dong Hu. You know, after Gao Yuan captured the Huns, He can also form a cavalry that is not inferior to the Donghu people."

"What if Gao Yuan really defeated Dong Hu?" Hu Yanchao asked.

"Then let's wash up and sleep!" Tan Feng smiled wryly, "At that time, not to mention our country of Yan, even the country of Zhao, Qin, and Gao Yuan will have the strength to cuddle with them."

"It's the best choice for them to fight and hurt both!" Hu Yanchao suddenly became excited.

Tan Feng laughed, "This is also my best wish. When two tigers fight, one must be injured. No matter who is defeated by the other, it is a good thing for Dayan! Of course, as you said Said that they will lose both sides in the fight, and no one can do anything to the other. That is in our best interest. The longer the fight, the better for us. When we stabilize the external environment, the internal government is clear, the people are raised, and the army is strengthened. , Turn around and deal with them again, so in the future, we must support Donghu to attack Gaoyuan. Compared with Donghu people, Gaoyuan is more dangerous."

The Yan army did not enter Juliguan, and took a detour. The cavalry of the Zhengdong Army who had been closely following them suddenly split up. Most of the cavalry, led by the infantry, suddenly accelerated and galloped in another direction. One-third of them, under the leadership of Gao Yuan, slowly approached Juliguan.

Juli Pass is intact as before, the Yan army retreated very simply and did not damage any facilities in Juli Pass, this can be regarded as a tacit understanding between Tan Feng and Gao Yuan at this time, if you retreat obediently, I will not do anything, If you don't behave yourself, then I will definitely not be polite.

Nearly half a year later, Gao Yuan once again set foot on the city wall of Juliguan, looking at the neatly arranged houses inside Juliguan, and the acres of fields extending outside the pass, Gao Yuan was very moved. Four years ago, he At the age of eighteen, he led his troops to guard Juliguan for the first time. It was also here that he took the first step in his life. He joined forces with the Helan tribe, set up a bait, and wiped out the Hutu tribe in one fell swoop. Although there were only four hundred riders in the Hutu tribe, they were still a giant to Gao Yuan and He Lanxiong at that time. That battle made Gao Yuan's reputation and prestige in the border town.

He patted the battlements vigorously. This was repaired when he was here. Four years have passed, and the battlements have been touched by countless hands, and they have become smooth and shiny.

"Old He, do you still remember our first battle here?" Gao Yuan turned his head, looked at He Lanxiong behind him, and laughed.

"Call me He Lan, my surname is not He!" He Lanxiong also laughed, "Back then, in that room inside this pass, you proposed to me to eliminate the Hutu Department, and I was petrified at that time. .”

Putting his arms around He Lanxiong's shoulders, Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Back then I had only two or three hundred infantry, and you only had less than two hundred cavalry. How miserable, Lao He, did you ever think back then that we would have what we have today? Is it?" He pointed at Curie, the cavalry riding back and forth cheering, and farther away, the infantry led more cavalry galloping into the distance.

"I didn't think about it. At that time, I was thinking about where to get enough food for my tribe not to starve to death every day. I was thinking about not being swallowed by another tribe all day long. I was trembling all day long, like a Like a dog in the water, look at today, think about yesterday, it really seems like a dream!" He Lanxiong shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, it's like a dream!" Gao Yuan also restrained his smile. "Old He, back then you planned all day long not to destroy the tribe, so what are you thinking about today?"

He Lanxiong chuckled, "What am I thinking about today? Of course I am thinking, follow your horse across the world, sweep the heroes, and establish an unprecedented big kingdom. At that time, when you become the king, don't forget to put this The prairie was sealed to me. When that time comes, I must set up a big tent in the most beautiful place of this prairie, and then bring a large herd of cattle and sheep with my wife and children, without thinking or doing anything. , concentrate on enjoying life.”

"An unprecedented big kingdom!" Gao Yuan laughed thoughtfully, "Lao He, this world is so big! I really want to get to this day, I don't know how long it will take, maybe that day will come, Maybe we are all old, and even if we sweep away the heroes in front of us, there is still a wider world on the other side of the mountain and the sea!"

"Really?" He Lanxiong looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, "If that day really comes, and I still have the strength to swing a knife, then I must ride a horse and start the journey again."

"Life is endless, fighting is endless?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Well said, life is endless, fighting is endless."
