Chapter 554: Verbal Sparring

Every fifty people formed a group, which was exactly the formation of one sentry for the Yan army. Looking at the Yan army, who were tethered like grasshoppers and walking towards their own camp, the eyes of the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who were waiting in full formation invariably flashed with humiliation and hatred. , although these Yan troops are not considered their comrades-in-arms, they have fought side by side before.

Gao Yuan was riding on his horse and looked at the string of prisoners passing in front of him expressionlessly. The Donghu people returned the prisoners in such a humiliating way to the Yan people, undoubtedly to lower the morale of the opposing Eastern Expeditionary Army. Looking at Gao Yuan sighed silently in his heart for these dejected prisoners. If these people fell into the hands of the Donghu people, they would inevitably suffer inhuman treatment, but this was not what Gao Yuan cared about.

People know their shame and then become brave. I hope these prisoners who have been knocked out of spirit can cheer up. Otherwise, although they come back, they will not have that spirit. Even if they reunite, they will still be with an elite team. , a strong army is far away.

His gaze swept across another group of prisoners approaching, and his lofty gaze fell on the few people in the middle. Unlike the others, these people did not lower their heads, but stood up straight, looking back every few steps. Gao Yuan glanced at the Hun flag in the distance, that look was very familiar to Gao Yuan, it was hatred.

Finally, there are still some bloody ones. This is normal. Such a large army will not all look like that. Gao Yuan's eyes fell on one of them, that is a school captain. Although he is now as skinny as a stick, but Judging from his frame, he should have been a tall and powerful guy.

"After we get down, check this person out!" Gao Yuan whispered to Meng Chong beside him.

"Understood!" Meng Chong nodded, "After hundreds of people, there are finally a few decent people. I will send someone to contact him. If this person is interested, I will get him over."

"Do you know what to say on the other end? I don't want to cause any conflicts?" Gao Yuan said.

"Simple." Meng Chong smiled slightly, "They have stayed among the Donghu people for several months. They are malnourished and skinny. It is normal for a few to die from illness."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Very good, as long as you can live up to your reputation, we will release five thousand people this time. There should be a lot of guys like this among them. Remember, we only want guys like this. These guys are full of hatred in their hearts. Give them a chance and they will be more ferocious than our soldiers and more cruel to the Donghu people."

"Yes, Governor! It's better to be fine than to be indiscriminate."

As each group of prisoners walked into the Zhongdong Army formation, soldiers would come up and cut the ropes around their wrists. They were led to line up in the rear. Only at this moment did the captive soldiers finally have some look in their eyes.

All the five thousand captive soldiers were quickly handed over, and Gao Yuan straightened his spine slightly. My vision has become sharper,

What comes next is the highlight. According to the agreement, the first batch of 5,000 Yan Army prisoners of war, as well as all senior generals, will be released. Generals such as Zhou Yuan, Tao Qigong, and Xiong Ben will all appear next.

"Zhou Yuan only wanted to plot against the Governor. Now it is the Governor who has come to take him back home. I wonder what his expression will be like when he sees you later?" Meng Chong sneered, with a look of gloating on his face.

"That's enough!" Gao Yuan's face was not good. He looked at the opponent's camp and said: "Meng Yuan. Don't forget, no matter what, we are also Yan people. Zhou Yuan's shame is not just It's his. It's also the country of Yan, and it belongs to all the Yan people. Qin, Zhao, and Yan have never stopped fighting against many tribes for hundreds of years, but like us, even officials at the level of Taiwei were captured alive. But we are the only ones. How can we be happy? Have you forgotten how we escaped from Donghu in embarrassment? Only 60% of the 7,000 athletes who followed me came back in the end. The others were buried in the Donghu area."

"What the Governor taught me is that the general will understand!" Meng Chong lowered his head, "The general will make a mistake."

"Brothers are jealous of the wall and resist their insults. Why don't we deal with Zhou Yuan or even hate him? However, in the war against the Donghu people, our positions are the same. Therefore, the failure of these Yan soldiers is our Their failure. What we should be thinking about now is how to avenge them, rather than ridicule them.”

"Yes, I will remember it."

"Come here, it should be them!" He Lanxiong reminded in a low voice. Several people turned their eyes and saw a group of dozens of people slowly walking out of the other side's camp gate, joining the previously chained soldiers. No, these people are free.

Gao Yuan lightly clamped his legs, and the war horse moved forward with four hooves. He Lanxiong and Meng Chong quickly followed. Behind them, dozens of personal guards followed closely. The group walked to the distance between the two sides. On the midline of the distance, he stopped. Gao Yuan turned over and dismounted, took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, and quietly looked at the group of people who were getting closer and closer to him.

They are all old acquaintances.

The first two people were Zhou Yuan, the former Taiwei of Yan, and the other was Tulu, the minister of Donghu who often traveled to Yan as envoys. Behind them was Tao Qigong, the general of the Yan army, and accompanying him on one side was Tao Qigong. The person is Yan Qi, another Donghu general.

The faces of the Donghu people were all red and happy, while all the generals of the Yan army, down to Zhou Yuan, had gloomy faces. Although their treatment was obviously much better than those of the soldiers, at least they were not too thin. They were so out of shape, but as Meng Chong said, they had lost their energy and spirit. They also saw a lot of anger among the soldiers, but in these generals, they only saw decadence.

"After seeing you for thousands of miles, we will see each other again!" Tulu laughed and cupped his hands towards Zhou Yuan, "Lieutenant, General Gao is already impatient to wait, so I won't waste your time. I heard that you and General Zhou There are still some personal grievances, but this is not something we can discuss. No matter what, I still want to wish you a safe return to Jicheng, regain your power, and reach the top again to guide the country. "

Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, Tulu actually didn't forget to try to create a wedge. He was really all-seeing, but precisely because of his appearance, he was at a disadvantage. It was only then that his gray eyes flashed. With a hint of cold light, the awe-inspiring aura of one person who was inferior to ten thousand people in a country in the past was revealed.

"I would like to thank Sir Tulu for your kind words, but one day, I will definitely come to Donghu again to hunt with your king."

Tulu Chi glanced at Zhou Yuan and couldn't help but hesitate. Behind him, Yan Qi sneered: "As long as Zhou Taiwei is willing to send us more slaves, we welcome them. We usually capture some slaves. We still have to run around. However, the ones captured are usually the old, weak, sick and disabled, and all the strong ones have disappeared. It is rare that Zhou Taiwei has sent us so many strong ones this time. If you are willing to come again, I will go up to the king and down to the king. All civilians welcome encouragement.”

Zhou Yuan snorted, this was going to be a huge defeat for him. Yan Qi was insulting him, but he was speechless. He cupped his hands, turned around and left, hiding his face. When passing Gaoyuan, he didn't even say hello, he passed by everyone and walked directly back. Behind him are the generals of the Yan army. One after another, they followed Zhou Yuan and left quickly.

He Lanxiong and Meng Chong behind Gao Yuan were furious. He Lanxiong even raised his riding whip. Gao Yuan turned around, shook his head, and winked at Meng Chong. Meng Chong nodded knowingly. He turned his horse's head and left with Zhou Yuan and the others.

Seeing such a scene, Tulu couldn't help but smile. He cupped his hands towards Gao Yuan and said, "General Gao, it's been a long time. I wanted to invite General Gao to Helin as a guest, but I didn't expect that General Gao ran away too fast. It’s such a shame that it’s so slippery.”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Of course I am going to Helin. But this is a matter for the future, so don't mention it. Now, it is just a waste of words. I dare to ask Master Tulu, Tieling, Ke Le, How are Kachin and Kemo?”

As soon as Gao Yuan said these words, the expressions of Yan Qi and Lu Tu suddenly became extremely exciting. Gao Yuan indeed escaped in embarrassment during the battle with Donghu, but in the process of escaping, he severely damaged Tieling and the three Keshi tribes. Now that the three tribes of Keshi have ceased to exist, Thorpe gave an order and all the three tribes of Keshi that were severely damaged were merged into the Tieling tribe. It can be said that the cigarette inheritance of the three tribes of Keshi has been cut off. Given by Gaoyuan.

Tulugan laughed and said, "General Gao is indeed brave, but it's a long time. I heard that General Gao now controls the land in western Liaoning. My king is very happy. He can't wait to meet General Gao again soon to compete. I want to invite my king to Gao. It won't be too long before the general goes to visit Lin. I just hope that General Gao won't run away with oil on his feet. "

The riding crop in Gao Yuan's hand hit his palm with a crackling sound, and he said with a smile: "I went to Yulin twice, set off two fires, and burned Yulin twice. I must go to Helin, Tulu After your Excellency returns to Helin, please ask Your Majesty, has Helin prepared enough fire-extinguishing materials?"

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, He Lanxiong and Meng Chong behind him were both born with laughter. The first time Gao Yuan's thousand cavalry attacked, a fire burned the Yulin to a white ground. The second time, these two were also participants in person and heard Gao Yuan's words. Sarcasm naturally makes the atmosphere more lively.

Yan Qi's face turned the color of pig liver. Although the Donghu army defeated the Yan army, they almost never won a battle against this guy in front of him. Even this time, he allowed him to destroy three tribes and inflict heavy losses. Tieling part one. At that moment, he said angrily: "Gao Yuan, don't keep talking, we will meet on the battlefield one day."

Gao Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled, "My defeated general, An Guangyan, General Yan Qi, how about we make some moves today?"

Yan Qi's left hand fell on the scimitar at his waist. His right hand was disabled by Gao Yuan. He had practiced hard with his left hand over the years and was now a master, not inferior to his right hand. But as soon as he made a move, Tulu had already reached out his hand. Hold him down.

"General Gao, now you are also a powerful man. How can you be so brave as a mere man? General Yan Qi is an enemy of thousands and ten thousand men! How can I compete with you?"

"Really?" Gao Yuan dragged out his words for a long time, "Today I only led a thousand infantry and a thousand cavalry, General Yan Qi. Otherwise, we can use two thousand soldiers to fight first and let me see. How about your ability to defeat thousands of people?"

The more Gao Yuan behaves like this, the more Tulu becomes suspicious. The other party is so confident, and there may be some treacherous plot behind it. This Gao Yuan is so slippery that all the Donghu tribes have suffered heavy losses in their fights with him. Now he is inviting them. , there must be no good intentions, how can we let him get his wish? Yan Qi is a general. If he were to stay here due to an inexplicable conflict of morale, it would not only severely damage the morale of Donghu, but also make him unable to communicate with him after he returns.

"Today is a happy day for us to return Captain Zhou, but it is not the time to use weapons rashly. General Gao, let's say goodbye and let's fight tomorrow!" After saying a few words, Tulu took Yan Qi's hand and turned around. Then leave.

"Master Tulu, Gao Yuan is going too far!" Yan Qi was so angry that he fainted, "Why don't you let me have a fight with you?"

Tulu said coldly: "General Yan Qi, you are brave and aggressive, how can you be a great general? You have suffered a loss at his hands once, isn't that enough? When two countries are fighting, how can you act on impulse? If you want revenge, you can get it back on the battlefield in the future. Now my Donghu is united, and he is trapped inside and outside. Even the Yan people want him to die quickly. You are still afraid that you can't take revenge. If you capture him and bring him back to Donghu, won't you be able to bully him? Take a step back and the sky will be wide open."

"Today's humiliation will be returned a hundredfold in the future!" Yan Qi turned back angrily and glanced at Gao Yuan, who was in high spirits.

"Nothing more than that!" Gao Yuan pointed his horse whip and laughed loudly. Behind him, all the soldiers of the expeditionary army laughed in unison.
