Compared with the prosperous Jicheng, the small town of Quwo in the Wei Kingdom is completely different. The broken city walls, narrow streets, patches of thatched houses and poor people, even the poor people in Jicheng, are much different than here. The people here live a better life. Now it is the place where King Ji Ling of Yan and his ministers Zhou Yu, Tan Feng and others settled.

Qi Guotian defeated Yan. Although Yan State still had a large area under the control of the nominal general Gao Yuan, Yan Ji was homeless. At Tan Feng's suggestion, Ji Ling asked the King of Wei for a place to stay. Land, the King of Wei generously agreed and gave Quwo to King Yan Ji Ling for recuperation. Of course, there is no free lunch in this world, Quwo, now [Pig^Pig^ Island^ Novel][www].[zhu][]. [] Almost on the attack line of the Qin army led by Lu Chao. Although it is not the front of the attack, the location is still very important.

Quwo is given to you, but you must guard the border for me. This is the exchange between the two parties.

They collected scattered soldiers and routed them all the way. By the time they captured Quwo, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu had gathered thousands of people. Counting the troops who broke out with them, they finally had tens of thousands of troops in their hands. Wei The king generously replenished them with food, grass and ordnance, but they also knew very well that this was probably the first and last time, because the envoy of the King of Wei made it very clear that Quwo would be given to Yanling from now on. a resting place, that is to say, they will rely on Quwo to support their soldiers and horses in the future.

"There are 5,832 households in Quwo within a hundred miles." Taking the household loan transferred from the county seat, Tan Feng reported to Ji Ling

"It's a hundred miles in radius. It's not a small county. How come there are only more than 5,000 households?" Ji Ling asked in surprise.

"Quwo is often attacked by the Qin army. There are many people who have fled. The people's livelihood is withered and extremely poor." Tan Feng sighed, "Your Majesty, if you want to feed the 10,000 soldiers and horses here, you can only feed them." I’m afraid it’s simply impossible.”

"More than 10,000. Kongde's messenger also arrived today. Kongde will arrive with 10,000 troops and horses in about ten days," Zhou Yu emphasized at the side

"Why are there only 10,000 soldiers and horses?" Tan Feng raised his head in surprise, "There should be at least 20,000 people under Kong De's command."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "I asked the messenger the same thing. The messenger told me that in order to escape the entanglement of Ye Zhen's army, their Major General Kong Fang led five thousand people to cut off the rear and cover the evacuation of the army. At the same time, some people were unwilling to leave their homes. When we arrived at Wei State, some of the wounded soldiers became deserters on the way and it was not convenient for them to travel far, so they paid them travel expenses and sent them off."

Tan Feng's expression turned ugly, "I'm afraid Kong Fang didn't cut off the rear, but brought the five thousand people with him, right? If my prediction is correct, those five thousand people must be the most elite troops under Kong De's command."

Ji Ling raised his head at this moment,

He waved his hands and said: "That's all, that's all. Comte can come. He can bring ten thousand people with him, which is considered very loyal. Don't be too harsh. If you use this matter to blame him. Wouldn't it chill him? Now In our situation, it is understandable that he would find one for his son. Tan Qing, there is no need to mention this matter after General Kong comes, just pretend you don’t know about it!”

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yu bowed and said, "Thank God that Kong De is willing to come. Don't let his heart be cold."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty can't worry about this. I'm just feeling a little unsatisfied. Kongde asked his son to hug his thigh, but this thigh may not be very reliable. Tian Dan's army of tens of thousands is attacking Western Liaoning, and Gao Yuan The army in Donghu would not be able to rush back in time. Once Liaoxi is lost and the stone is not saved, Ye Zhen's troops will be divided into Hejian and Yuyang. How can they hold it? "

"Rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished by everyone!" Ji Ling said angrily: "If Gao Yuan hadn't caused rebellion, how could this king be in the predicament he is in today? Now I would rather Na Tian Dan march into western Liaoning and defeat Gao Yuan. It is best to take Only by taking his head can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

"The king is relieved. Gao Yuan's main force is far away in Donghu and Lin. Tian Dan's tens of thousands of troops are attacking western Liaoning. Gao Yuan's old nest will inevitably be difficult to protect. In order to save Lao Yuan, Gao Yuan will definitely rush back day and night. When that time comes, Tian Dan Recuperate your strength, but Gao Yuan's troops are almost exhausted. The outcome of this battle, we can see that Gao Yuan's disobedience is obvious. Now let the dog bite dog between the two of them, it is best to fight in such a way that both sides will lose." Tan Fengdao

Zhou Yu raised his eyes, glanced at Tan Feng, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head again.

"I wonder if Chunyu Yan has arrived in Chu State now?" Ji Ling looked at the two of them, "I wonder if he can persuade King Chu Huai to help me?"

"The king is not unaware of Chun Yuyan's sharp mouth. When he goes, he will definitely live up to the king's expectations. King Chu Huai is your father-in-law, how can he sit idly by and ignore it? Even for the sake of the princess, Chu Huai "King Huai will also help the king," Tan Feng said with a smile: "As long as King Huai of Chu and Chen Bing attack the Chu border, Tian Dan will definitely be forced to the negotiation table. Tian Dan will have a fierce battle with Gao Yuan. Even if he wins, he will definitely be damaged." Once the vitality is restored, at that time, or we only need to pay a certain price, the king will be able to return to Jicheng."

"A certain price? I'm afraid that the price will be high when the time comes. How can Tian Dan not be so open-minded as a lion?" Ji Ling said sadly: "I'm afraid that by then, my king's Yan will have to lose countless lands."

"Your Majesty, even so, it is better than us staying in Quwo now! Although we will pay the price in due time, as long as we work hard, there will always be a time to make a comeback. The ups and downs of life are normal. I think of Da Qin back then. Aren't they often beaten by the Huns and asked for peace? But look now, where is the Huns? Even the leader of their royal court was beheaded by the Yingying formation! Foundation!" Tan Feng spoke righteously and with a sonorous tone.

"I hope so!" Ji Ling was also inspired by Tan Feng's words.

Zhou Yu on the side suddenly said: "What if, I mean what if, Gao Yuan wins this battle? What should we do at that time?"

Yes, what if Gao Yuan wins?

It's not that the other two people haven't thought about this issue, but they don't want to think deeply about the consequences. If Tian Dan wins, they can return to Yan State through the mediation of Chu State and then cede land and pay compensation. But if Gao Yuan wins, will they still have a chance to go back?

"Lieutenant Zhou, do you think Gao Yuan has the possibility of winning in the current situation? If you were Gao Yuan and you were to command this battle, do you think you have a chance of victory?" Tan Feng asked back

Zhou Yu was silent for a while, "That's right. At the moment, I can't think of any chance to turn defeat into victory."

Tan Feng heard the meaning of his words. Zhou Yu meant that he couldn't figure it out, but it didn't mean that Gao Yuan couldn't figure it out. After all, Gao Yuan had created too many miracles in the past ten years. Tan Feng pretended. I don’t know, but Ji Ling didn’t come over.

"Lieutenant, even you can't think of any chance for Gao Yuan to win. So why are there so many of us?"

After walking out of Ji Ling's humble residence, Zhou Yu and Tan Feng walked slowly along the narrow streets. The sun shone in front of them, dragging their shadows extremely long behind them. Looks extremely desolate

"Tan Feng, what should we do if Gao Yuan wins?" Zhou Yu asked again

"There's no way he can win," Tan Feng said firmly.

Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, Gao Yuan had no chance of winning. It's just that if Gao Yuan wins, they will never have any chance, and they will inevitably end up in Quwo from now on. It became a sword in the hands of the king of Wei to resist the Qin people.

"There are so few people in Quwo that they can't feed our army at all. This doesn't count the 10,000 soldiers and horses that Kongde will arrive soon. Have you thought about this problem?" Zhou Yu turned around and asked

"Of course I have thought about it," Tan Feng nodded, "Our soldiers are too many compared to the difficulties we are facing now. Let's reduce our troops! Eliminate the weak and retain the strong, select the best from the best, and those who have been eliminated will be put on the spot." For resettlement, there are few people in Quwo, and there are few benefits. Those abandoned lands should be distributed to these intercepted soldiers. This not only reduces our burden, but also finds a way for these people to survive. Next year, we will still have to To collect taxes from them, get through this year, and tomorrow, everything will be fine."

"Then how many cuts are you planning to make?"

"half!"

"Where's Comte?"

"Including Comte, after Comte arrived, we had a total of more than 20,000 people. Half of us were eliminated, leaving only 10,000 people, and then we started again."

"This is a disguised attempt to deprive Conde of his military power. Will he agree?"

"If he doesn't agree, will he be able to get enough money and food to feed his army?" Tan Feng sneered, "If he doesn't come, of course we can't do anything to him, but now that he's here, it's up to him what to do. What?"

"Kong De is still loyal to Dayan. You can't use violent methods to deal with him, otherwise it will arouse the dissatisfaction of his subordinates and cause a mutiny, which will be out of control!" Zhou Yu warned Tan Feng.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. Since Kong De is still loyal to Dayan, it will be easy to handle. There is a saying that a gentleman can be bullied." Tan Feng laughed.

Zhou Yu shook his head again, "Although we hid the queen's humiliation in Jicheng from the king for a while, we couldn't hide it forever, and it was impossible to hide it from the king of Chu. When we fled, there was no one If we have time to bring the princess with us, will King Chu Huai be angry because he refuses to lend troops?"

Tan Feng snorted, "Although our king has no face in this matter, does King Chu Huai have a lot of face? When the king is in this situation, he is already shameless, but King Chu Huai still wants to have face." Yes, Brother Zhou, I have sent people to Chu State to publicize this matter. Even if the King of Chu is shameless, there will always be shameless people among the Chu people. When the generals start to make trouble, King Chu Huai will have to send troops. Tian Dan This time I got carried away too much."

Hearing Tan Feng commenting on his group, Zhou Yu couldn't help but blush, but he had nothing to say. Yes, in this situation, what's left to talk about?
