Chapter 521: Hatred

"I won't be grateful to you, I will only hate you!" Lu Chao stood in front of Gao Yuan, "Even if you don't kill me, let me live. Gao Yuan, you have to live well until I come to you again. ”

Looking at Lu Chao's angry face, Gao Yuan nodded, "Brother, take care along the way."

Lu Chao raised his hand, as if he wanted to slap Gao Yuan, but he did not raise it after all. He just stared hard at Gao Yuan's face, as if he wanted to take Gao Yuan's appearance deeply into his heart. Lu Bin on the other side hurriedly walked over and pulled Lu Chao towards the carriage. He was afraid that Lu Chao would do something drastic and anger Gao Yuan, which would lead to death. Now people are killed by knives, and I am killed by fish.

After putting Lu Chao into the carriage and closing the door, Lu Bin turned back to look at Gao Yuan and took a deep breath. He was the old man of the Lu family and one of the witnesses who watched Lu Chao and Gao Yuan grow up together. , today, he witnessed another break between two people.

Gao Yuan walked to Mrs. Lu's carriage. The door was still open. At this time, Mrs. Lu's tears had been wiped away and her expression had calmed down. She looked at Gao Yuan who walked in front of her. She didn't speak, but stood in front of her. Qing, one hand reached out to the carriage door, and gently but without hesitation closed the carriage door.

Looking at the car door that slowly closed in front of him, Gao Yuan felt a sore nose. He knew that this door would always be closed to him. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Lu Hong's face.

He slowly knelt down outside Mrs. Lu's carriage.

The carriage started slowly, the horses' hooves lifted lightly, and the carriages passed in front of Gao Yuan and headed into the distance.

Cao Tianci walked to Gao Yuan and helped Gao Yuan up, "General, they have left."

Gao Yuan raised his head, silent, far away. There is only a vast mist left, and nothing is left except a few deep ruts on the ground. People are gone and love is gone.

"General, Lu Chao is a very capable man. Perhaps, he should not be let go. His hatred for you, General, is deep. He may become a big trouble for us in the future," Cao Tianci said. "I know the general doesn't want to embarrass him, but bringing him back to Liaoxi and keeping him under Fufeng's custody and letting him live an ordinary life is the best spectrum."

Gao Yuan glanced at Cao Tianci, but without answering him, he turned around and headed towards Shannancheng.

He felt guilty towards Lu for letting Bu Chao go. Both Lu Hong and Mrs. Lu had taken good care of him since he was a child. He always remembered the surprise on Lu Hong's face when he woke up from a serious injury.

As for Lu Chao, he will become his own enemy. Gao Yuan didn't take it too seriously.

Do you still have few enemies? Whether it's Thorpe, Tan Feng, or Zhou Yu. Which one will be worse than Lu Chao? Compared with them, Lu Chao now looks immature. Think further, in the future, people like Zhao Mu and Li Xin will also become your enemies. Compared with them, Lu Chao is not enough. If you are worried about Lu Chao, then how can you go there? Deal with these people?

In Shannan City, Feng Fayong happily welcomed Gao Yuan's arrival. This time, he led more than 10,000 Daijun left troops to attack secretly and captured Shannan City in one fell swoop. The price paid was almost incalculable. In the Zhao Kingdom In the war with Qin, this can almost be regarded as the greatest victory in recent decades.

What he valued more was that after taking Shannan County, Daijun finally no longer had to worry about the threat of the Qin people. On the contrary, Daijun only needed Shannan County to gather a large army, and it would also make the Qin people tasteless and unable to sleep peacefully. .

"General Gao, now I finally know what it means to use troops like a god." He said with a smile, "Move the tiger away from the mountain, attack in the east and attack in the west, divide the enemy's strength, and always maintain a crushing advantage of using the strong to defeat the weak in local battles. "No matter how strong the Qin army is, it will still be like a chicken and a dog's ears in front of General Gao."

Gao Yuan was not as optimistic as he was. He shook his head and said: "General Feng, it is indeed worthy of joy to capture Shannan City, but we must also learn enough lessons from this war. The reason why we can achieve this victory is The overwhelming advantage is because both of us are always in an unequal environment. We rely on mental calculations and unintentional calculations, and use unobstructed intelligence to deal with the lack of information. If we can't win easily, it would be strange. But this kind of battle is just a battle. There will be such a time, and it will never happen again. However, during the battle, the combat effectiveness and tenacious fighting spirit displayed by the Qin Army made me feel frightened. He Yangguang was just a little-known general among the Qin Army. I have never heard of his name before, but he is already troublesome enough. In the future, you will probably face a more powerful opponent than He Yangon. "

"General Gao, don't worry. We, Zhao, have been fighting against the Qin people for decades, and we have been suppressed. No one knows the Qin people better than us. So I will never take it lightly. Shannan County will become our It is an important stronghold to counter the Qin people. Next, the governor will send a steady stream of troops to guard Shannan County, and we will have a sharp sword to restrain the Qin people." Feng Fayong nodded.

"That's very good!" Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction. If Shannan County can be defended, he can put down his mind and concentrate on dealing with Donghu, managing the prairie and dealing with hostility from within the Yan Kingdom. And if Shannan County is attacked again If the Qin people take it away, I am afraid that the first person the Qin people have to deal with is themselves, not the Zhao people, and it will be miserable at that time. Under the attack of Donghu and Qin people, Gao Yuan did not think he had a chance of victory.

"I have prepared a banquet to celebrate General Gao's success!" Feng Fayong's joy came from the bottom of his heart. "I will be stationed in Shannan County in the future. I hope I can fight side by side with General Gao again."

"Are you leaving the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?" Gao Yuan looked at him and asked.

"I am the man of Zilan County Magistrate. This is not a secret. Now that Zhao Qi controls the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he will naturally carry out a purge. People like me are among them. Instead of waiting for others to drive them out, it is better to leave by myself." Feng Fayong said with a smile.

The two walked into the lobby side by side and sat behind the desk. Gao Yuan asked curiously, "You used to have a high position in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and knew the secrets that were not allowed. Why did Zhao Qi let you leave like this?"

"I have Zilan County Magistrate behind me, so I can get away with it. But some people may not be able to do so. During this period, many people in our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have funerals at home." Feng Fayong sighed and said.

"The King of Zhao is still very suspicious of the prefect Zilan!" Gao Yuan smiled and looked at Feng Fayong meaningfully.

Feng Fayong shut his mouth. In any case, this was Zhao's internal affairs. Although Gao Yuan was now an ally, he was still an outsider. He would not discuss such matters with Gao Yuan.

"I still have some brothers in Liaoxi who were detained by Tianci. Please release them after you return." Feng Fayong raised his glass to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan smiled and raised his glass to indicate, "Of course they will be released." At that time, when the Yan State was in civil strife, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry disclosed to the Military Law Department of the Eastern Expedition Army the secret agents of the Yan Lingwei and the Black Ice Platform in Liaoxi. However, they did not expect that Cao Tianci would continue to arrest these secret agents, while using the intelligence dug out from these people's mouths to almost wipe out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Now Liaoxi has almost become a vacuum zone for all national intelligence agencies. Feng Fayong was dumbfounded, but he could not say anything. Now, he just wants to get these people out.

Although Zilan and Zhao Guo will not confront each other openly, they will inevitably clash privately. These brothers under Feng Fayong are all experienced veterans. After returning, they will play a significant role on the invisible front. Hearing Gao Yuan's promise to release them, Feng Fayong also breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, Gao Yuan got drunk. He had never been drunk like this before, but he was depressed. This night, he could only use wine to numb himself so that he could forget the calm eyes that Mrs. Lu looked at him before she left. There was no anger or sadness. He understood that this expression would only appear if she hated him to the extreme.

I'm sorry! He could only silently chant in his heart.

Early the next morning, the cavalry of the Zhengdong Army began to withdraw from Shannan County and set off on the journey home. Gao Yuan, who had a splitting headache, looked back at the towering walls of Shannan County and exhaled heavily. When he turned around, his face had regained its firmness. He clamped his legs lightly around the horse's belly, and the warhorse neighed and galloped forward quickly, gradually disappearing in the mist.

Zilan's capture of Shannan County would inevitably cause great political shocks between Qin and Zhao. From another perspective, this was almost equivalent to Zhao's undeclared war. Qin and Zhao would have a verbal battle over Shannan County in the following period of time, while the Qin people would mobilize forces to attack Shannan County in an attempt to recapture this strategic location. But since Zilan dared to take it, he must have made up his mind to defend Shannan County. The Qin people, who were using troops against Han, could only mobilize limited forces, and could not gain any advantage under Zilan's full defense.

Zhao Wuji, the king of Zhao, might be both happy and angry. He was happy because this was one of the few victories of Zhao over Qin, and he was angry because this was accomplished by Zilan. Two years after Zilan returned to Dai County, the overall strength of Dai County has steadily recovered. This time, taking Shannan County will make Zilan's reputation in Zhao State rise to a new height, which can't help but make Zhao Wuji worried. For a while, Zhao Qi was summoned to the palace more and more often.

Among the senior officials of Zhao State, the only one who drank a lot of wine for this matter was Zhao Mu. The unexpected victory in Dai County allowed him to focus all his attention in another direction.

In the negotiations with Yan State, Zhao State won a great victory. The five cities including Quancheng, which were lost two years ago, returned to Zhao State again. The two powerful ministers of Yan State, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, are now busy suppressing dissidents in the country and have no energy to fight a hopeless war with Zhao State here. After retaking the five cities, Zhao State regained its strategic suppression of Yan State. Now, Zhao Mu can devote himself to the great cause of resisting Qin State.

The demise of Han was a foregone conclusion. Next, Qin's army would definitely target Wei, and Zhao would never sit idly by and watch Wei be taken over by Qin again. (To be continued...)
