Chapter 871: Sunrise in the East (96)

Tan Feng stared at Zhang and said, "You Qin people are determined to destroy the six kingdoms and unify the Central Plains. This is contrary to my ambition."

Zhang said and laughed: "What is your ambition? Mr. Tan, please forgive me, if the Yan State was as powerful as the Great Qin, you would probably do the same thing we are doing now, wouldn't you? The stronger will win, and the stronger will win." Weak people are at risk. Our Great Qin was far inferior to the six countries of the Central Plains in terms of territory and population. But now, we are the most powerful and you have lost the best time. This is not our problem, but your problem."

Zhang's fierce counterattack made Tan Feng fall silent. After a while, he said: "You are right, this is our problem."

Looking at Tan Feng, Zhang Shuo smiled with satisfaction and said to {Pig}Zhudao{Little} 3. He had successfully found a crack in zhu's psychological defense line: "Master Tan, the country of Yan has become yesterday." Huang Hua, after Gao Yuan defeats Tian Dan, he will soon take control of Jicheng. Do you think he will still raise the flag of Yan? Well, maybe, at that time, he will force Yan King Ji Ling to return to the Yan Kingdom and serve first. Ji Ling is the master. After a while, Ji Ling will die suddenly, or there will be a drama of surrender, right? I don’t think you and your king have a chance to stand up."

"At what point will you go, Mr. Tan? It seems that the grudges between you and Gao Yuan are complicated, right? You should be familiar with Ning Xin, right?" Zhang Shuo asked

Tan Feng's eyes flashed, "What does this have to do with Ning Xin?"

"According to what we have learned, Ning Xin is now the vice-president of the Oversight Council of the Zhengdong Army, with a high position. Of course, there are some rumors that Gao Yuan will marry Ning Xin. The father of this girl died at the hands of Lord Tan. , she once planned an assassination attempt on you, but it was unsuccessful. Although Gao Yuan was kind to the former high-ranking officials and generals of the Yan Kingdom who surrendered to him, Master Tan, I am afraid that you are not among them. And in my opinion, with Master Tan's character and temperament. If you are proud, you will not bow your knee to Gaoyuan, right?"

Since Ning Xin entered Zhengdong Mansion, the outside world has completely cut off information about her. Tan Feng also has no idea what she is doing. At this moment, when he heard what Zhang said, he was surprised, but there was no indignation in Zhang's words. , instead murmured: "So she is going to marry Gao Yuan? It's not bad!"

Zhang said he was a little surprised to see Tan Feng's reaction, the information he got from the Black Ice Platform. Tan Feng was extremely fond of Ning Xin. Even though Ning Xin planned an assassination that almost killed him, Tan Feng did not treat Ning Xin after the incident. He thought that the news would make Tan Feng go berserk, but he didn't want to This is how he reacted

Fortunately, Tan Feng's next words finally reassured him, "Of course I will not bow to Gao Yuan, Mr. Zhang. No matter what happens to us in the future, I will always be the enemy of the Eastern Expedition Army."

Zhang said he was very happy and nodded repeatedly: "My general is also from Fufeng, and the general's father who passed away was very kind to Gao Yuan. But in the end, I think you also know how Gao Yuan treated my general.

If it weren't for the great fortune of the general, he would have died in prison long ago. My family's general will never forget this deep hatred. Since Mr. Tan, you also have a deep grudge with Gao Yuan, why don't you join hands with our general to deal with Gao Yuan? Sooner or later, Wei will be our prey. At that time, our Great Qin can directly fight against Gao Yuan. Are you still afraid that there will be no chance of revenge? Don’t look at Gao Yuan’s reputation as the undefeated God of War, but that’s just because he didn’t meet our Great Qin warriors.”

Tan Feng waved his hand, "This is a serious matter, let's discuss it later. Besides, Qu Wo, I don't have the final say alone."

Zhang Shuo smiled and said: "Forgive me for being disrespectful. In Quwo, King Yan Ji's Mausoleum is just a decoration. The only people who really talk about the matter are you and Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Taiwei is a traditional Although he is a soldier, he is not rigid. I believe Captain Zhou is also aware of the current situation. Dayan has no chance to make a comeback. And Lord Chunyuyan, who used to be an internal historian, specializing in diplomacy, in Quwo, I am afraid that I don’t have much say. The most likely obstacle is Kong De, but as long as Mr. Tan and Zhou Taiwei are determined, Kong De can’t make any trouble, right?”

"You have found out Qu Wo's inside story very clearly!" Tan Feng sneered.

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Although it refers to generals who lead troops in battle, it is not inappropriate to apply it to people like us."

"I'll send someone to take you to see Captain Zhou. You meet him first before talking." Tan Feng sighed and turned to look out the dark window, "People have to survive."

Qi Guo, Linzitian, finished a day's official work remotely. He was sitting on a carriage with a simple exterior and extremely luxurious interior. He was rubbing his temples tiredly. Beside him, two maids were kneeling on both sides, obediently taking care of him. Beat your legs gently

When Tian Dan went on an expedition, he stayed in Linzi to take care of his family. The worries he had to worry about were many times more difficult than when Tian Dan was there. When Tian Dan was in Linzi, everyone in Qi was as obedient as a little sheep. , I didn’t dare to disobey Tian Dan in the slightest, but after Tian Dan left and Tian Yuanyuan was replaced as the head, the discordant voices never stopped. Whether it was on government affairs or military affairs, there were always endless When noise appears, these people may not dare to challenge Tian Yuan Yuan face to face, but secretly they are stumbling and using dirty tricks. Their endless tricks make Tian Yuan Yuan extremely annoyed.

He once tried to tolerate these people with a gentle attitude, and also relaxed the tight grip that his father had always had. However, his gentleness was immediately regarded as weakness by some people, and a conspiracy against the Tian family was staged in Linzi. , this incident finally made Tian Yuanyuan furious, and he raised the sharp knife that had been hidden in the sheath angrily. Suddenly, in Linzi, more than a dozen families were leveled overnight, and thousands of people were either killed or exiled to the sea. Some isolated islands in the island fend for themselves.

This killing also made Tian Yuanyuan fearful. From then on, the noise became much smaller.

The internal situation finally settled down, but the external situation soon arrived. Tens of thousands of troops from Chu State marched to Linyi. Although the news came back from Linyi, this large Chu army was not the elite of the Chu army, but people from all over the country. The garrison troops were not subordinate to each other, and their combat effectiveness was extremely limited. They posed little threat to the Qi army stationed in Linyi. However, the commander of this army, Qu Wan, made Tian Yuanyuan more vigilant. Qu Wan was the relative of Qu Zhong, the Taiwei of the Chu Kingdom. Younger brother, but this person did not rely on nepotism to become a general of the Chu State, but a man who actually relied on military exploits step by step. He had fought with the Qin army for many years, and although he had mixed success and failure, But considering the difference in combat effectiveness between the Qin army and the Chu army, this man is already quite powerful.

If the Chu people were just a threat, they would not have allowed Qu Wan to lead this army. If they really wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Qi to attack, they should not have sent such a chaotic group of soldiers. This kind of contradictory conflict The situation left Tian Yuan Yuan really confused. In addition to instructing the defenders in Linyi to raise their alert level, Tian Yuan Yuan also had to recruit troops from home again to prevent unexpected events.

Today in the court, there was another good fight over this matter. The matter of recruiting another 20,000 troops was finally finalized, but the military pay has not yet been settled. Thinking of those old guys in the court who were acting secretly and secretly, Tian He couldn't be as ruthless as he was some time ago, raising his butcher knife and slaughtering them all. Unfortunately, he could only think about it this way. He had already killed a group of people, but some people still had to be left behind. These old guys don't want to rebel against the Tian family, but they just look down on themselves. If their father were in court, with just one look, these people would obediently lie on the ground.

Thinking about these thoughts, Tian Yuanyuan couldn't help but think of the current war situation in Yan State. No new battle reports had been sent back for several days. This made him a little strange. Although the two places were far apart, there would always be a military force in two or three days. It had been more than ten days since the report came back from Yan State. He had not received the latest military report yet, which made him feel a little uneasy.

What will happen?

Will not

The carriage suddenly stopped, and the unprepared Tian Yuanyuan leaned forward with his upper body, and bumped the head of a maid beside him. Stars flashed in his eyes. The maid was hit by the collision, and her whole body hit the car door. It bounced back again. When she raised her head and saw a big bump on Tian Yuan's forehead, she was immediately frightened. She lay down in front of Tian Yuan, trembling and not daring to say a word.

"There are assassins, protect the eldest young master!" The shouts of the guards and the sound of the steel sword being unsheathed came from outside. Tian Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he covered his forehead with his hands, but he had no time to care about the maid in front of him, but in his mind Turning around like lightning, he thought, who wants to assassinate me? Why at this point in time?

"I'm not an assassin!" A voice with an obvious Yandi accent came from outside. Tian Yuan was very surprised. He quietly opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside, only to see a man dressed in the clothes of an ordinary Qi Ren holding a hand held high. Standing in the middle of the road with both hands, "I am the special envoy under the command of Governor Gao Yuangao of Zhengdong Prefecture, and I have been ordered to come to Tianyuan, Lord Tian!"

"Gao Yuan's special envoy?" Tian Yuanyuan almost exclaimed. He never dreamed that the person coming was actually Gao Yuan's envoy, and judging from his appearance, he did not want to assassinate him.

"Master Tian, ​​I have important military information to report to you. Please see me," the visitor shouted.

Major military situation? What important military information does Gao Yuan's special envoy have to share with me? Tian Yuanyuan thought for a while, stretched out his hand to wave, and a guard came to the window.

"Take this man back home and I'll see him."

The person coming was Niu Ben, a subordinate of Ning Xin from the Supervisory Council. The Qi army was attacking Western Liaoning. However, Gao Yuan was not idle either. He ordered navy Kou Shuguang to lead four large ships to carry Bai Yucheng's special forces brigade and enter Qi by water. Ning Xin As the top commanders coordinating this operation and among this force, they disguised themselves as pirates, first occupied a desert island offshore, established a logistics base, and then began plundering and looting along the coast. A few days before the harassment, when a clipper ship brought Gao Yuan's latest order, they knew that the war in western Liaoning was about to begin. According to Gao Yuan's instructions, they had to pass on the news to Tian Fucheng that he was about to lead his army back to Qi. Yuan Yuan, then there is the scene of Niu Ben and Tian Yuan Yuan in the middle of the night. This eldest son, but it is not something he can see if he wants to, and Niu Ben has no time to open the joints. If the news arrives late, Tian Fucheng's army is back. , the day lily is cold (To be continued...)
