Chapter 488: Nanshan Decides

The snow fell a little heavier, and driven by the biting cold wind, it flew up and down irregularly, randomly combining various shapes in the air, and many snowflakes flew into the pavilion, on the railings, and on the ground with the wind, The stone table was soon covered with a light layer of white snow.

It was really cold on the top of the mountain, but the two people in the pavilion had a fiery heart, just like Gao Yuan had a strong belief in his heart back then, and now the two people have also raised this belief to the extreme.

Tan Feng stretched out his fingers, and sketched a few random strokes on the thin layer of white snow on the stone table. Zhou Yu could tell that this was a simple map of Liaoxi, Hejian, and Yuyang.

"After leaving the western region of Liao, General Zhou crossed the river with 20,000 standing troops and went straight to Yuyang. Zhao Mu's attack was imminent. Jiang Xinliang was stationed in the five cities. He is not Zhao Mu's opponent, not even Jiang Dawei," Tan Feng said. .

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter if the five cities are lost, but you have to defend Yuyang. One of the important things you need to do when you go is to tell Zhao Mu that if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I, Dayan, will not be afraid of death. I have already sent someone to see Jiang Xinliang. Preserving strength is the main thing." Tan Feng paused: "Zhao Mu just wants to recapture the five cities and regain Zhao's strategic advantage over our country. The possibility of a large-scale attack is unlikely. Gao Yuan turned the world upside down. His main energy should still be on the front line of Qin. Recently, the scale of border friction between Qin and South Korea has been increasing. Li Xin left Hangu Pass, and he should go to the border between Qin and South Korea. Once it arrives, it means that the Qin-Han war is breaking out."

Zhou Yu nodded. "I will try my best to protect Zhao Yan's border."

"Jiang Xinliang, you can make good use of him." Tan Feng suddenly smiled, "After the last Yanzhao War, this former playboy seems to have changed into a different person. It seems that Gao Yuan was greatly stimulated. Jiang Dawei's relationship is deteriorating day by day, after the Yanzhao border is stabilized, this can be used well."

Hearing Tan Feng mention this topic, Zhou Yu laughed, "Jiang Dawei newly married Kunzhou Moren's daughter and gave birth to a young son. No wonder Jiang Xinliang is impatient."

"Jiang Xinliang has always been skeptical about his mother's death. I have already sent someone to do it. I must spare no effort to convince Jiang Xinliang that his mother died at the hands of Jiang Dawei, so that his father and son turned against each other, and you Stationed in the front line of Yuyang, do our best to support Jiang Xinliang, and bring Yuyang back to the imperial court step by step. However, this matter must be done slowly and step by step, and there is no rush."

"I understand that." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yuyang's strength is indeed very strong."

"When you cross the river, leave something for Yan Shenghao!" Tan Feng suddenly sighed, "Although it is difficult for Yan Shenghao to support the wall, it is good that he can buy us a little more time.

"

"Baokang Yingkou has already fallen into the hands of Gao Yuan, and the Zhengdong Army penetrated into Hejian County like a wedge. Yan Shenghao was able to be flat again. The soldiers of Hejian County have been frightened by Gao Yuan, and it is difficult to play a restraining role. Already." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "But I will still leave a group of people for Yan Shenghao."

"Brother Zhou's approach is very good. Let him leave a group of grassroots officers. Gao Yuan's first priority now is to take down Liaoxi and appease the whole territory of Liaoxi. After all, Zhang Junbao is the last root of the Zhang family. No matter how serious the crime is, he must kill him." He will still have some different voices. After the whole of Liaoxi is pacified, he still needs to heal the scars of this war. At least until the first half of next year, he still has no time to take care of Hejian. We have half a year to replace him. Yan Shenghao has retrained an army. I don't expect them to win any battles, but they can only hold Gao Yuan back."

"If you lose the enemy on the outside line, the whole army will retreat to Hejian County. Before that, you must accumulate food and grass in the county and stockpile ordnance. Even if Gaoyuan takes the whole of Hejian, as long as the county does not fall , there is hope, the longer Hejian persists, the more unfavorable the public opinion will be to Gaoyuan." Zhou Yu pointed to the location of Hejian City, "Willlessly attacking noble fiefdoms will arouse everyone's hatred."

Tan Feng laughed, "We can only conspire to seize the feudal lands on behalf of the king, and we dare not be blatant. If Gao Yuan attacks Hejian with great fanfare, he will surely make everyone angry. At that time, we will stir up the wind and create a bigger fire for him. Much trouble."

"Although the usefulness may not be obvious, it is better than nothing. We can do our best to slow down this person's development." Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.

"In addition to the Donghu's attack, Gao Yuan will be under the enemy's back and forth. He will be in a hurry, and he will continue to fight. The development of people's livelihood will be hindered, the economy will be sluggish, and the war will be affected. Years of delay will drag him to death." Tan Feng added. road.

"On the other side of the country of Zhao, in addition to military precautions, diplomatic influence should also be exerted." Once Zhou Yu got rid of the negative and decadent mood, his head immediately became sober.

"We have already started to do this matter. The king has sent Chunyuyan to Zhao Guo again. Didn't Zhao Mu want five cities? We will give them to him. The purpose of Chunyuyan's trip is to seek to establish a peaceful relationship with Zhao Guo. The Anti-Qin Alliance. And our Yan Lingwei also took action. Li Yuncong had already set off before Chunyu Yan. The purpose of his trip was to stir up conflicts between Zao Wou-ki and Zi Lan. Lan's threat is much stronger than our country of Yan's. If the conflict between Zhao Wuji and Zi Lan intensifies, Zhao's internal affairs will inevitably be unstable. What's the move?"

"Li Yuncong?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise, "Is this person trustworthy?"

"Li Yuncong was originally the deputy commander of Yan Lingwei, and he is a very talented person. If Ning Zecheng fell, if he didn't want to be buried with him, he would naturally join us. He is a smart man, and I will not keep him in the country. Sending him out is the best choice. His original main task was to be abroad. Among Yan Lingwei's field missions, there are many people loyal to him. If Li Yuncong is killed, these people will cause problems, so keep him , Let him continue to serve the king, his task is to stir up trouble in Zhao country."

"What about Qi State?" Zhou Yu rubbed his head. The so-called wall is falling and everyone is pushing. Now Yan State is facing such a situation. Helping Yanling return to the country to succeed the king, he wanted to reap some benefits, but he didn't want to forget the Qi country immediately after Yanling succeeded to the throne.

Tan Feng grinned, "Tian Dan is in the country of Qi. He is under one person and above ten thousand people. He is domineering. The King of Qi is almost a showpiece. The Tian family is even more arrogant. As long as you do a little bit of tricks and spread gold and silk , I’m not afraid that no one in Qi will stand up against him.”

"Tian Dan's younger sister is the queen of King Qi. I'm afraid it will be difficult to overthrow Tian Dan."

"What does it matter?" Tan Feng laughed, "As long as Tian Dan feels a huge threat and is unable to trouble us, it will be fine. Compared to gaining a little benefit from us, he is in Qi The dominance of the country is the most important thing. As long as there is any disturbance in the country of Qi, I can guarantee that this guy will rush back in a hurry."

"Brother Tan is really thoughtful. If everything goes well, we will have a few years of respite. Whether I, Dayan, can get out of the predicament depends on these few years." Zhou Yu said.

"We will succeed!" Tan Feng was full of confidence.

When Officer Xin of the Yan Army who was waiting for the two of them at the foot of the mountain saw Tan Feng and Zhou Yu again, Zhou Yu had already swept away his previous decadence and turned into a high-spirited man.

Just as Yan Jun slowly left Fufeng and left Liaoxi, Zhang Junbao was brought up in front of Gao Yuan in Fufeng Zhengdong General's Mansion.

At this moment, Zhang Junbao had completely lost his previous demeanor, his hair was disheveled, his face was black and blue, and his clothes were covered with mud and grass. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot when he was brought all the way here.

Zhang Junbao, who was pushed down to kneel in the center of the lobby, raised his head with some difficulty, looked at Gao Yuan who was looking at him coldly, and couldn't help feeling extremely regretful. This little county captain whom he had never looked at in the past was now gone. He is high above, but his own life has already fallen into his hands, whether he is dead or alive, it is all in the mind of this person.

You know, when it comes to getting acquainted with Gao Yuan, he is far ahead of his younger brother Zhang Shubao, but in the end, this person who could have been his help has become his worst enemy.

"Zhang Junbao, you murdered your father with poisonous wine, Bi Xiufeng ambushed General Shubao, slaughtered General Shubao, General Lu Hong, and more than a thousand people under General Huang Desheng, are you guilty?" Gao Yuan asked coldly.

Many generals in the hall showed an angry look on their faces. Huang Zhan, who came from Jishi City, put his hand on his waist and saber, and his eyes were even redder when he stared at the other party. He jumped out and drew his sword to face each other.

Zhang Junbao knew that there is no point in sophistry at this moment, even if he didn't do it himself, it would be easy for the other party to settle on him. What's more, it was absolutely true that he did it himself, Zhang Zhuo and Wu Yi were all arrested Well, in order to save their lives, they will definitely not cover up for themselves.

"General Gao, I'm the only one left in the Zhang family. As long as you save my life, I can help you to control Liaoxi smoothly. My father has a great prestige in Liaoxi, and my Zhang family can be regarded as a promise in Liaoxi. I can help you, as long as you leave me alone, and I will do my best for you in the future, General, to repay you for not killing me."

Gao Yuan was stunned at first when he heard the words, but then he laughed loudly, "To this day, you still want to live, you really have no shame. Zhang Junbao, your death is coming. But it's not here, I will put you in custody Go to Zhang Shouyue's tomb, right in front of his tomb, and execute you." rs
