Chapter 524: Request

After listening to his father's words, Yan Peng was silent for a long time. He had fought head-on with the Zhengdong Army, so he naturally knew how powerful his opponent was. He wanted to resist now only because he had the support of Hejian City, but now, this last level of support , is also being peeled off layer by layer by Gaoyuan.

"It's just Sun Jian and the others?" He hesitated and asked worriedly.

"You go and summon Sun Jian and his group to come to me first." Yan Shenghao leaned on the chair tiredly and said softly.

"What does father want?"

"Zhou Yu left them here because he naturally wanted me to resist to the end. They didn't care whether I could win or not. What they cared about was whether I could consume some of my superior strength. Forget about the ordinary soldiers below. But Sun Jian and Those school captains must be taken down first." Yan Shengxu waved his hand, "Go to them and tell them that I want to discuss the city defense. Now the new military camp under their command is in constant chaos. , there are the most problems, I guess they won’t be suspicious.”

"I understand!" Yan Peng nodded, turned and left.

Yan Shenghao let out a long sigh and looked up and down at the lobby he was in. Soon, this room, which represented the highest power in Hejian County, no longer belonged to him.

One day later, the Eastern Conquest Army camp outside the city welcomed a special guest. Yan Shenghao, the governor of Hejian County, rode alone out of the city and went straight into the high camp.

For Yan Shenghao to come in person, it is beyond Gao Yuan's expectation. From one aspect, this is also a quite extraordinary person. He can be in charge of Hejian County for many years and has his own uniqueness.

Since the other party came calmly, Gao Yuan would not neglect him and went out to greet him personally and welcomed him into his big tent.

"What can you give me?" The two sat down opposite each other without any greetings. Gao Yuan went straight to the topic. This question was extremely tricky. At present, except for the county town, all other places in Hejian County have fallen into Gao Yuan's hands. Yan Shenghao doesn't have many chips in his hand.

Looking at the opponent who was decades younger than him, Yan Shenghao was filled with emotions. A few years ago, after he received a letter from Ning Zecheng and sent troops to hunt down Gao Yuan in the name of sweeping away the Huns, he had been Due to bad luck, elite soldiers and generals were wiped out in this man's hands one after another. Until today, the opponent's troops are approaching the city and he is at the end of his rope. What I thought I was relying on now has become a prisoner. The two new generation risers, Zhou Yutanfeng, are even more shameless than Ning Zhou. They have become an abandoned son, a dying prey who can be used for the last time.

"I can give you an intact Hejian County!" Yan Shenghao said slowly: "I can also give you a clear and honest identity, you should understand.

I, Mr. Yan, have been in Hejian County for decades, and I still have some strength and reputation. It is much better for you to get Hejian County City justifiably than what outsiders say is robbery. I don’t know if you care. Reputation, but a good reputation is much better than a bad reputation. Right? "

Listening to Yan Shenghao's words, Gao Yuan burst out laughing and clapped softly, "Well said. But is that all?"

"Of course it's more than that. I have four thousand elite soldiers!" Yan Shenghao stared at Gao Yuan: "General Gao, you are facing me. Of course, you have more than enough to do, and you ask for everything, but you know clearly who your enemy is. ? Now, it should be Donghu people!"

Gao Yuan's smile faded slightly: "So what?"

"The Donghu people fought a great battle with Dayan. Although they won, they also paid a huge price, especially the tactics they adopted, which caused great damage to the economy of their ruled area. Now Donghu is described as suffering from hunger and cold. It’s not an exaggeration to say that after surviving this winter, they will come out. What they are going to do is naturally to rob and seize. General Gao, if you occupy western Liaoning, you will inevitably have a head-on confrontation with the other party. Maybe western Liaoning will become a battlefield. , is this the reason why you must take Hejian County as your solid rear? "

"You are right!" Gao Yuan leaned forward, "There is indeed a reason. Donghu's power is much stronger than mine. I need more land, more people, and more wealth to fight against them."

"Yes, you need this, but you are even more short of troops now. In the past few months, I have also received a lot of information and calculated your troop strength in detail. You don't have many troops under your command now, and you will never exceed There are 20,000 people, but what you have to deal with is Donghu who has 100,000 troops. My remaining 4,000 elites are definitely what you need. Although they suffered a defeat at your hands, it does not mean that they cannot fight. Yan Shenghao said: "Is this enough?"

"What do you want?" Looking at Yan Shenghao, Gao Yuan gradually put away his contempt. Sure enough, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, and they calculated clearly.

"I heard that General Gao built a large-scale stone city in the grassland. It is green as the sea in spring and summer, and snowy in winter. The scenery is very magnificent. Mr. Yan wants to find a private house somewhere, where he can enjoy the spring and enjoy the snow in winter. I wonder if that's okay?" Yan Shengxu looked at Gao Yuan and said.

This means putting your body as a pledge. Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Ji Shi City is very big. If Governor Yan wants to settle down somewhere, Gao will naturally welcome him. I wonder what other requirements Governor Yan has?"

"My son Yan Peng is already thirty years old and cannot be said to be handsome. It may be difficult to stand alone, but as a general who charges into battle, he is still very qualified. My request is that these four thousand people from Hejian County He will lead the troops and serve for the general. As for whether he can succeed in the future, it is up to him to work hard, and I have no control over it. "

Gao Yuan chuckled and said, "President Yan must have a very detailed understanding of our Eastern Expeditionary Army. You should know that the Eastern Expeditionary Army is all mixed."

"There are exceptions to everything." Yan Shenghao shook his head and said, "This is my request. The only request."

"Judy Yan, aren't you afraid that I will promise you now that when you arrive at Jishi City and Yan Peng leads his army to merge with the Eastern Expeditionary Army, I will start to slowly divide your army?"

"At that time, the soldiers of Hejian County were already your army." Yan Shenghao smiled, "What's more, I think General Gao has lofty aspirations and should have more ambitious goals. He should not break his promise to enrich himself and embarrass those who come after him. heart of."

"Hejian County soldiers are a group of their own, how can I control them?" Gao Yuan crossed his fingers and looked at Yan Shengxu with a smile.

"If you want to restrict your followers, you must be stronger than them. General Gao, if your strength is always superior to everyone else, will those who follow you have second thoughts? On the contrary, even if you want to Can you control them? You still only own one county, and all the soldiers are brought out by you. But in the future, when you want to go further, you still have the energy and courage. Does every soldier and general appoint a direct descendant of yours? No, General Gao, you need to accommodate more people. Among these people, there may be some who sincerely follow you, some who want to follow you, and maybe some. The icing on the cake is not to mention those with ulterior motives.”

"Well said, well said!" Gao Yuan laughed and stood up, "Then, what kind of person are you?"

"I, the current me, should be very contradictory. Firstly, I am forced to have no choice. Now if I don't surrender to you, then I will die and the Yan family will die. Secondly, in this situation in the Yan Kingdom, Next, I am also optimistic about you, maybe you can become a generation of heroes. Of course, if you can really defeat the Donghu people and regain the land of Liaodong, then I will follow you wholeheartedly, because I know that if you can do this, If Yan Peng follows you, he will definitely have a bright future. "Yan Shengxu said: "I don't say anything secretly in front of you. Do you believe me now that I am completely convinced by you?"

"Okay, very good, Sheriff Yan. I underestimated you before, but I'm very surprised. You should not be an incompetent person, but why did you manage Hejian County into what it is now?"

"It's hard to get back from the past. I can't bear to break the old. I'm satisfied with the current state. I haven't judged the current situation clearly. Failure is inevitable. It's easy to reflect on things after they have passed. But you have to have foresight, and the whole world can do it." How many? I am not an incompetent person, but I am not a wise and decisive person. In this turbulent era, it is natural to be eliminated. "

"I promise you, Yan Peng will form his own army with four thousand Hejian County soldiers. However, as you said, my opponents will be the Donghu people next, so they will go to the Donghu front line. He needs to use his military exploits Come and prove your worth. Don’t worry, as long as you come under my command, I will treat everyone equally. I will not look at the soldiers of Hejian County in a different light because of your words, or even intend to destroy them. I am not Ning Zecheng. Not Zhou Yuan." Gao Yuan put his hands on the case and looked at Yan Shenghao: "I will give Yan Peng a chance, and I will make you convinced."

Yan Shenghao stood up and said, "In that case, the deal is done. After returning to the city, I will pack my bags, salute, and follow you back to Jishi City."

"Ji Shi City will welcome you to stay, where you will see a different world!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"When Zhou Yu passed through Hejian County to Yuyang, he left me a teaching team of 500 people. Now that I have captured these people, what are you going to do with them?"

"Let them go back." Gao Yuan said noncommittally: "After all, they are all from Dayan. Killing them will do me no good. Let them go back, maybe they can do something for Dayan!"

"Are you still loyal to Dayan?" Yan Shenghao's tone was slightly sarcastic.

"Now Dayan still needs me, and I need him too!" Gao Yuan said meaningfully: "It's like a husband and wife. Their relationship has broken down and they are separated, but for the sake of their children, they have to make do with each other in a seemingly inseparable way."

"When the children grow up, will it be time to truly break up?"

"That's natural!"
