Chapter 511: Welcoming

Speaking of which, Gao Yuan has fought many big and bad battles, but until now, he has never been accustomed to wearing heavy armor. When he was in western Liaoning, Zhang Shubao once gave him a pair of good fish scale armor, but he never wore it once. However, wearing such a heavy armor did indeed improve the protective performance to a higher level, but when fighting, it made him feel constrained and unable to perform many movements.

However, although Gao Yuan himself did not want to wear armor, he was never stingy when it came to soldiers. He could not afford iron armor, but he always had to get a pair of leather armor for the soldiers, and then put iron plates on important places such as the heart. After being able to pass, Gao Yuan knew that the soldiers were not as keen on fighting as he was, and could always avoid a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

However, his hobby was very much criticized by his subordinates.

Now Gao Yuan was ordered to go to Zhuocheng to meet the Prime Minister of Zhao State, Zi Lan, and his party, who were here for negotiations. This made Gao Yuan a little uneasy, as Zhou Yuan seemed to be looking up to him too much.

This seems to be a simple task, but the meaning contained in it is far from simple. In this battle, Yan State is the victor. It is a supreme honor to send out the envoys to meet the negotiators. What's more, the other party is Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, the famous Gongzi Lan

Those who praise you may not necessarily be for your own good, and those who step down on you may not be your enemies. Gao Yuan still couldn't understand why Zhou Yuan praised him so high. Zhou Yuan admired himself and wanted to win over him. Was he used by him? Just like what Ning Zecheng did now? Gao Yuan shook his head, it was definitely not like this. Ning Zecheng might have done it to disgust Ye Tiannan, or because he didn't have many generals at his disposal. I'm afraid the former reason was more. Some people showed their kindness to him, but Zhou Yuan, as a prince of the current dynasty, had actual military power. He had not many of them, but he had a lot of shortages, so he couldn't do anything wrong.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Yuan is even more worried. If he cannot see through it, he will worry. Zhou Yuan asked him to see through it. What Tan Feng said to him was confirmed by Zhou Yuan. The dignified Taiwei even invited Gao Yuan to accompany him to Jicheng.

It was a qualitative leap to become a general, although he could only be a general. Zhou Yuan told himself with regret that if he were a noble, then with the merits of this battle, he could definitely get A true titled general. However, Gao Yuan is already very satisfied. Lu Yao has come out step by step on his own. What he has gained this time has far exceeded his expectations.

Jicheng was a place that he both loathed and longed for. Countless nobles, big and small, gathered there and were filled with life and habits that were incompatible with him. However, Gao Yuan had to make it his goal to move forward. , not only Ye Jing'er, but also his life ideals. Only when he arrives can he achieve the first step of success.

Jicheng, just wait. Gao Yuan let out a long breath. No matter what Zhou Yuan is thinking or doing, he can only wait passively and remain unchanged in response to all changes. Soldiers will come to block him, and water will come and the soil will flood him. I am afraid of what he will do. It's great that I have offended another Taiwei. I have already made a feud with a country, so why should I be afraid of one more Taiwei? For me, it is the same. Anyway, they are all giants. One of them is enough to crush me. Two of them are enough to crush me. , the result will not be any worse.

Gao Yuan suddenly grinned. It was quite satisfying to think about it. Among the countless county lieutenants in the world, if they were to count their ability to make enemies, I'm afraid he would really be ranked number one.

"Brothers, start singing," Gao Yuan waved his arms and shouted to the Tsing Yi Fufeng soldiers behind him, "Let our colleagues in the hometown of Dayan see the majesty of our Dayan warriors."

At this time, there were already many ordinary people walking on the road they were traveling on. The war was over. These ordinary people who had been hiding somewhere suddenly appeared on this land again, watching them drive their cars and pick up goods. Carrying oxen and donkeys, they are obviously returning home from their hiding place.

"Okay," Yan Haibo agreed happily, turning to look at his subordinates, "Listen up, listen to my command, one, two, three, get up."

The long sword is pointed directly at my homeland of Dayan;

The setting sun flows like blood on our journey;

The hunting of flags summons the war drum of endeavor;

The long yellow sand cannot stop the warriors;

Dayan has many strong men since ancient times, who can be killed but not humiliated;

Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to have both ways since ancient times. We bid farewell to our parents with tears;

Our army is invincible and mighty

The blood-stained shirt is the most beautiful garment for a man;

The horse-leather shroud is the destination of heroic heroes;

Picking the enemy's heads one by one with swords and guns;

The rolling chariots rolled over rows of barbarian corpses;

Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty is reflected in the history books;

Those who offend the powerful Yan will be punished no matter how far away they are.

Amidst the loud singing, the Fufeng soldiers marched towards Zhuocheng with neat steps. The singing attracted countless passers-by to stop and silently watch this energetic army march forward with high morale.

Zhuocheng.

There was deathly silence in the room. Gong Zilan sat at the front seat. On both sides, the dejected Zhao Qi, Zhao Meng, and Zhao Guang in casual clothes were silent.

"If you lose, you lose. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. It's not a big deal. Even Zhao Mu often suffers defeat." Zilan let out a long sigh.

Zhao Guang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly stood up and looked at Zhao Qi with unspeakable hatred in his eyes, "As soon as the whole city is lost, our army should conserve its strength and retreat immediately. If we had done this in the first place, we would have Now we still have at least tens of thousands of standing troops. If we don’t fight the Yan State, if we drag this army up, we can fight the Qin Army. But now, we have nothing, and the outcome is even worse.”

Zhao Qi raised his head in a hurry and looked at Zhao Guang with resentment in his eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end. He was unspeakably annoyed in his heart. In the court, although Gong Zilan was the minister of the country, he was always the one receiving the favor. The object of exclusion has no actual power at all, and he, Zhao Qi, is a person who is afraid of real power. But now, the person sitting above him is the Gongzi Lan who he has been working hard to attack. Unexpectedly, he is still being attacked by him Got a huge handle on it.

Hold it back, don't humiliate yourself. Zhao Qi desperately said to himself in his heart, Gong Zilan said it easily, his face felt painful, maybe he laughed in his heart, he couldn't let him see the joke, he couldn't bear it for a while Humiliation, in exchange for a brighter future, once this period of limelight has passed, it will not be too late to turn this situation around.

"General Zhao" Zilan interrupted Zhao Guang's words, "The matter has reached this point. It's useless to talk more. If you are held responsible afterwards, the court will have its own fair judgment. It cannot be decided by you here."

Zhao Guang lowered his head sadly and sat back again.

"Master Zhao, you will set off tomorrow and go back to your own fiefdom. Don't leave your fiefdom for the time being without Handan's order," Zilan said slowly.

Zhao Qi raised his head in confusion. Was this driving him away from Handan? A trace of panic flashed across his eyes. Leaving Handan meant leaving the center of power, and it was at this opportunity.

"Is this what the king means?" He glared at Zilan.

"Of course." Zilan nodded slightly. "Zhao Meng, you are also leaving tomorrow. Go to the Hedong Camp to serve under General Zhao Mu. Remember, you can only go alone. Your guards will accompany you personally. No one is allowed to bring them."

Unlike Zhao Qi's unwillingness, when he heard Zilan's announcement, Zhao Meng's eyes flashed with joy. After this defeat, he almost thought he was doomed. Zhao Qi was deeply favored by the king. And this defeat , there is always a need for a scapegoat. Zhao Guang was imprisoned by Zhao Qi, and it was certain that he would become the person responsible for this failure.

Now he is only sent to serve in front of General Zhao Mu's tent. He is not allowed to bring personal followers or guards. This means that he has been demoted to an ordinary soldier. But when he arrives in front of General Zhao's tent, with his ability, how can he be used as a soldier? ?Fighting with the general for a few years, it will be just around the corner to make a comeback.

"General, I would like to thank the king for your kindness, and thank the Prime Minister for your kindness." Zhao Meng knelt down and kowtowed. The joy on his face could not be suppressed.

Zilan waved her hand, "All the soldiers and horses in Zhuocheng should be handed over to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang, although there are only more than 10,000 people left here, these more than 10,000 people are our standing army. You have to think about it carefully." Ways to restore their morale, maybe they will be put to use soon."

"I understand, Prime Minister," Zhao Guangdao said.

"Master Prime Minister, the envoy sent by the Yan army to greet you has arrived." Outside the door, an officer strode in and bowed to Zilan.

"Oh, who is it?" Zilan said.

"The returning Prime Minister is a man named Gao Yuan. He has arrived outside the city with two hundred soldiers and is waiting for you to set off."

"This is too much!" Zhao Guangda was angry. Zilan was the Prime Minister of the Zhao State and had a distinguished status. The envoys from the Yan Army who came to greet him were not necessarily of the same status as Zilan, but they were at least Chunyu Yan's level. Now, the Yan Army only sent A county lieutenant came to greet them, which was pure contempt. "Tell them that the Prime Minister is not feeling well and cannot leave now."

Zilan smiled slightly and stopped the officer, "That's all, now, I still have to figure out what to do. I have heard about this Gao Yuan for a long time, but I didn't expect that it was him who came to pick me up, just in time to meet him."

"Mr. Prime Minister," Zhao Guang wanted to say something more. Zilan waved her hand, "General Zhao, our Zhao country is in crisis now. The Zhao country is in trouble, not the Yan country. We have to ask for help from him. This contempt is nothing, and he said Maybe, there will be greater humiliation waiting for us. If we can't bear the anger for a while, how can we protect the long-term destiny of our country, Zhao?"
