Chapter 679: Why Are We so Anxious to Fight Each Other? (1)

When Gao Yuan and his party returned to Pioneer City, the battle at the other end of Xiaogushan also came to an end. The infantry of the Eastern Expedition Army, which assembled tens of thousands of infantry to besiege Kutu Argen, paid the price of nearly half of their casualties. After that, they completely annihilated Kutu Argen's troops, killed more than two-thirds of the Donghu cavalry, captured thousands of people, and tens of thousands of horses. As Gao Yuan killed the general Yan of the Donghu River camp, Beg, the battle for the Hetao that lasted for several months is officially over. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) The generals from Donghu who came to Hetao from Yanqi down, Moyandu, Jiguli, Murongkun, Qutu Ergen and Aqi Zijin were all killed in battle.

"It's a pity that Tuoba Hong escaped." Ning Xin dropped a white character on the chessboard, looked up at Gao Yuan and said.

"Tuoba Hong?" Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "He can't leave. He took a detour to Crescent Lake and had to pass through the Huns settlement. In that area, there are still more than a dozen small and medium-sized Huns tribes gathered. Before that, He Lanyan had sent With the help of manpower, we went there to communicate with each other. A dozen small and medium-sized tribes united and thousands of cavalry were still able to gather together. Tuo Bahong would not be able to get a good deal, let alone when Tuo Bahong arrived there. How can the Huns be no match for their people and horses, as well as their lack of food and fodder?"

"So you had a plan a long time ago?" Ning Xin raised her head in surprise, "How did you know this before the war?"

"I'm not a god. How could I know so clearly? I just made a random move to prepare for a rainy day, but I didn't expect that it would actually work in the end." Gao Yuan happily pressed a black stone on the chessboard. , "You just made a wrong move, but you gave me an advantage. This corner belongs to me."

Ning Xin covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Captain, you are taking advantage of someone's danger. Just now my mind was wandering, but this move was thrown casually and cannot be counted."

"A true gentleman does not regret his moves. Once he has made a mistake, he has no intention of regretting his moves." Gao Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "Finally, we have hope of victory this time. I will never allow you to regret your move."

Ning Xin smiled lightly and said: "I am a little girl, not a true gentleman. The governor is wrong." She stretched out her hand, picked up the white diamond, and dropped it again, "Captain, please be careful with this move of mine. Not only has the Governor's invasion at the corner been neutralized, but the dragon in your belly is also vaguely threatened. If you fail to deal with it with one move, you will lose the whole game."

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "This is really, really..." Gao Yuan was stunned to see Ning Xin regretting her move.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise?" Ning Xin giggled.

"That's pretty much what it means!" Gao Yuan laughed, reached out to pick up the teacup on the chessboard, and took a sip.

Ning Xin stretched out her hand to mess up the chess pieces, "Captain, do you have those dozen Xiongnu tribes living together in your mind?"

"I promised to give them weapons,

Let them trade their war horses with me for food. If they are willing to join me in conquering Dongfu, I can also give them a territory. Of course, if they join, their soldiers and horses will have to obey my command. They are having a hard time now, and I don’t think they will refuse my kindness. Gao Yuan said.

"Wild Wolf has just sent back the news that the Qin people have sent people into the grassland and contacted Yiqu. This tribe is one of the tribes with relatively well-preserved strength after the fall of the Xiongnu royal court. The whole tribe has dispatched five thousand cavalry. They can still pull them out. The Qin people provided them with a large number of weapons through some secret channels. The meaning is self-evident. I am afraid they are targeting us," Ning Xin said softly.

"It's not just us, or Zilan from Daijun. The civil war that broke out in the Zhao Kingdom will not end in a short time. If Yiqu is really stupid and wants to get involved, I will make them regret it for the rest of their lives. ." Gao Yuan said.

"Also, the eldest brother of the governor has now risen again. After Li Xin left, he became the governor of Qin in South Korea. Under his auspices, South Korea has now been divided into three counties by him. In order to suppress South Korea Domestic resistance, your eldest brother's methods can be considered cruel, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a murderer. Now his name can be regarded as stopping children crying at night in South Korea. Under his iron-fisted rule, South Korea's domestic resistance The flames have been basically suppressed, and now he is forming a new army. Once he completes this work, he will definitely keep an eye on Wei. I heard that King Qin admired him very much and actually allowed him to lead the army in Korea. army."

Hearing Ning Xin talk about Lu Chao, Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, "My eldest brother is a talented person." Thinking that he might face Lu Chao again in the future, Gao Yuan couldn't help but have a headache. After all, he has something to do with the Lu family. A deep sense of guilt.

Ning Xin knew about the dispute between the Gaolu family, and she couldn't say anything about it. After a while, she said: "You asked Sihai Trading to ask Mrs. Lu to send money regularly. Sihai Trading has entrusted its partners in Qin to do it. But Mrs. Lu has never accepted a penny, even in their most difficult period at first. It seems that Mrs. Lu still has a hard time with you. "

"I'm sorry for them. They say it's a big deal and they don't stick to trivial matters. But above that, I'm really sorry for them. But at that time, I didn't take Shannan County, and I really didn't dare to run the Hetao with confidence. Qin people, always It’s a knife hanging over our heads.”

"If you don't kill Lu Chao and let him live, you haven't treated them badly."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "I owe it. Uncle Lu was very kind to me. I'm afraid I will never be able to forgive myself for this. I took advantage of them. Although I didn't kill my elder brother, I actually pushed him to death. , If he didn’t have a good teacher, I’m afraid he would be gone.”

"In life, there are always many helpless moments. Not to mention people like you who do great things, even the most ordinary people have dilemmas. Don't take it too seriously." Ning Xin didn't know how to solve the problem. lofty.

"Forget it, let's not mention this matter. Even if we have to fight against my eldest brother on the battlefield in the future, it will not happen in a short time. Now we need to concentrate on solving Donghu's affairs. Your end should start. I I heard that you conquered a Donghu man named Mugulu," Gao Yuan said.

Ning Xin nodded and said: "This man is the young clan leader of the Rouran tribe of Donghu, and his status is considered noble. The Rouran tribe took the wrong team during the civil strife in Donghu, and the entire clan was confiscated. Even Mu Benglu was made a slave. However, This man can be regarded as a great man of his generation. He actually started from a slave and rose to prominence again. However, Yan Qi's abandonment of them and his escape alone was a huge blow to him. This man did not agree with Thorpe's approach of returning the military power of each tribe to the Donghu Palace. A chess piece that can be used, most of the people of the Rouran tribe are scattered among the Donghu tribes. If used well, it may have miraculous effects. In addition, other aspects have begun to take action, and the next Helin will definitely be. It’s a bloody storm.”

"If this is done well, Thorpe will be able to take care of himself. Although we defeated Donghu this time, we also suffered heavy losses. It will take several years to restore our strength in Hetao, and the matter of Daijun will also You need to put more effort into this matter. If you need help, just ask God for help."

"I understand!" Ning Xin said. "Is the Governor prepared to bring Dai County under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion?"

"This matter is not yet clear, but let's see as we go. If Zilan doesn't die, we can't go to Nadai County. But Zilan must not be killed by us." Gao Yuan said: "Tianci has sent people to contact The civil and military officials of Daijun have gained a lot. Now let’s see how Zhao Guo handles the relationship with Zilan.”

"Feng Fayong is a key. He is stationed in Shannan County. He has 20,000 soldiers and horses, but they are all good soldiers from Dai County. If we can recover this person, we will get twice the result with half the effort." Ning Xin suggested: "I heard that the governor and the Do you have a good relationship with Feng Fayong?”

Gao Yuan laughed: "This person was captured by me on the battlefield!"

Seeing Gao Yuan's inexplicable smile, Ning Xin seemed to have some realization.

In Jishi City, although the sky is gloomy, there are thousands of lights on the ground, like stars in the sky, lighting up a large area of ​​land. Compared with the war in Hetao, this place is like a paradise, with thick snow covering the wilderness. , black roads divided the snowfield into square blocks, and everything seemed so orderly.

The quiet night was shattered by the rapid sound of horse hooves. Several knights came galloping from a distance along the galloping road. Without exception, the knights on the horses all had red flags on their backs.

"Open the door, open the door." The horse galloped outside the city gate, and the knight on the horse raised his head and shouted, "We are the messengers from Hetao to report victory. The governor led his army to defeat Donghu in Hetao, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, and Hetao was defeated in one fell swoop. "

Following the call of the knights on horseback, the soldiers guarding the city cheered loudly, the city gate was opened, and the knights on horseback rode in. Amid the cheers of the gate defenders, they rode straight to the Governor's Mansion in the middle of the city.

"Great victory, great victory, the governor led his army to defeat Donghu and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies!" As the knights on horseback shouted loudly while galloping, the closed doors of every house in the city were suddenly opened, and countless people came out of the door. They surged out, first listening to the shouts of the knights on the horses, and then shouting out in ecstasy.

"Great victory, great victory!" The sound became louder and louder, echoing throughout the city.

In the Dudu's Mansion, Jiang Jiaquan, Yan Shenghao, Wu Kai, Cao Tiancheng and other important officials who stayed in Jishi City were all gathered in the backyard of the Dudu's Mansion, and he, Yan Shenghao's wife, Wu Kai's wife, etc. were all here as well. Today is a big day for Jishi City, because the governor's wife Ye Jing'er suddenly had a seizure at noon today and was about to give birth. Several experienced women who had been waiting in the mansion for a long time immediately took action. Medical officer Qiu Debao was also sitting in the mansion. It had been half a day since the attack. Everyone outside could hear Ye Jing'er's lung-piercing cries inside. Everyone was anxious. Even Jiang Jiaquan, who usually kept his expression calm even when a mountain collapsed in front of him, kept walking around the room with his hands clasped behind his back.

"What's the noise outside?" Yan Shenghao suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door.

"Great victory, great victory!" At this time, the voice became louder and louder, as if the whole city was shouting.

"They are shouting a great victory. Could it be that there is news about the Hetao?" Yan Shenghao turned around and looked at Jiang Jiaquan with surprise and joy.

Rapid footsteps sounded outside, and a palace guard with an ecstatic look on his face ran all the way to the crowd, forgetting to salute everyone, "My lords, the Hetao messenger has arrived, and the governor led his army to defeat Dongpoyanqi. Destroy tens of thousands of enemies."P
