Chapter 893: The Magnificent Power of Han (Part 18)

Looking at Kong Fang in front of him, Gao Yuan felt a little emotional. His father Kong De was one of the representatives of blind loyalty in this era. He knew that Yan State had reached its end, but he did not want to change his course. On the one hand, he arranged the family's retreat, and on the other hand, he wanted to have a good start and a good end. This procrastinating and indecisive temperament doomed his final outcome.

"General Kong, sit down!" Gao Yuan pointed to the seat in front of him and said gently.

Although Kong Fang was called a young general, he was actually much older than Gao Wu, already more than 30 years old. He came to congratulate Gao Yuan on his wedding on behalf of Ye Zhen. First, Ye Zhen really couldn't get away, and second, the Kong family needed to be in Jishi City after joining Zhengdong Mansion. When he first arrived in Jishi City, Gao Yuan also gave him very high treatment and reception standards, and specially held a banquet for him. All the officials of Zhengdong Prefecture in Jishi City attended the banquet.

At that banquet, Kong Fang had his first contact with this legendary figure. Gao Yuan gave him the impression of being gentle. His words and deeds were not domineering at all. He was just like a big brother next door. He spoke in a calm and approachable tone. This feeling surprised Kong Fang. In his previous impression, such a powerful figure should be domineering and need to be looked up to.

After that meeting, everything returned to normal. Kong Fang was just the central A commander of a group army, in fact, with the strength of 5,000 soldiers he led, it was only the strength of a division in the Zhengdong Army. The Zhengdong Mansion treated him well because he saw the huge political influence of Kong Jiagui. Among the nearly 200,000 troops of the Zhengdong Army, there are many senior generals like Kong Fang. Gao Yuan certainly can't treat him the same way as before.

Everything went according to plan. He went to the Ministry of War to report on the war situation in Tianhe, went to the meeting hall to report to the councilors the details of Ye Zhen's implementation of Zhengdong Mansion's policies in Tianhe, reported to the Ministry of Works on the construction projects that Tianhe was about to start, and finally returned to the Ministry of War to apply for all the military equipment replenishment.

Many things, this It was the civil affairs of Tianhe County, but now that Tianhe County has just returned, everything is still decided by the army. In fact, Zhengdong Prefecture has not even appointed a governor for Tianhe County, and the army is temporarily in charge.

This made Kong Fang very busy when he came to Jishi City to report on his work this time.

The efficiency of Zhengdong Prefecture once again opened Kong Fang's eyes. He originally thought that the deployment of military equipment and the collection of military pay would require him to stay in Jishi City for a long time, but in less than half a month, everything was ready, the military equipment was ready, and they were just waiting to set off. As for the military pay, although Zhengdong Prefecture is in financial difficulties now, it still has not delayed the pay and bounty that the front-line soldiers deserve.

Kong Fang originally thought that this time would be when he returned to Tianhe Gao Yuan summoned him as usual, but when he saw that he entered Gao Yuan's study, and Gao Yuan was accompanied by Jiang Jiaquan, Ning Xin and other important figures in Zhengdong Mansion, he felt something was unusual.

"Thank you, Governor!" Kong Fang bowed and saluted, then sat down. "I will escort the military equipment and supplies back to Tianhe. I wonder if the governor has any other instructions?"

He asked a little nervously.

"The military equipment escort will be arranged separately, General Kong, you don't have to worry about it." Gao Yuan said.

Kong Fang looked up at Gao Yuan with a little surprise. Gao Yuan signaled Ning Xin with his eyes, Ning Xin nodded, picked up a file from Gao Yuan's desk, moved to Kong Fang, and handed the file to Kong Fang.

"General Kong "General, take a look at this!" This file is exactly the report from Tianhe Ye Zhen and the Supervisory Council on the Quwo incident. Although there is no definite evidence, according to some of the information obtained, all the speculations are probably true.

The information in the file is very detailed, plus the comments made by the people who read the information on it, Kong Fang only read the first few pages and roughly understood what happened. His face gradually became red, and his hands trembled slightly. Slowly, he stood up, his lips trembled, and his hands fell weakly.

"General Kong, according to our speculation, I'm afraid General Kong De has unfortunately died." Gao Yuan said softly.

"My condolences!" Jiang Jiaquan walked to Kong Fang was beside him, holding his shoulders with both hands, and whispered to comfort him.

With a thump, Kong Fang knelt down in front of Gao Yuan, "General, please send troops to Quwo to kill Tan Feng and Zhou Yu to avenge my father. I am willing to be the vanguard."

"You get up first!" Gao Yuan signaled Jiang Jiaquan to help Kong Fang up, "After receiving this information, I have ordered the cavalry led by the infantry, the first division led by Yang Dasha of the Young Guards, and the Donghu Cavalry Independent Division led by Agu Huai'en to finish their repairs and march to Tianhe County. We will certainly not let General Kong De's death go easily."

"Thank you, General!" Kong Fang knelt down again and kowtowed three times. When he stood up, his forehead was It was already black and blue.

"Stand up and talk." Gao Yuan said: "General Kong, this incident is not an isolated one. According to the intelligence we have obtained, I am afraid that the Qin people have intervened in this incident. If the Qin people intervene, it will not only be a problem for your father, but the Qin people will use Quwo as an opportunity to destroy the Wei people's defense in Daliang Wing with a crushing force and complete the encirclement of Daliang. Daliang will be surrounded at any time. Once Wei falls, the powerful Qin army will have two choices. One is to fight a decisive battle with Zhao people, and the other is to enter Yan from Wei and provoke our Zhengdongfu. Perhaps in the eyes of the Qin people, dealing with a new and unstable regime like us is much easier than dealing with the deeply rooted Zhao people."

Gao Yuan stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and took a deep look at it, "I wanted to call a truce, but why didn't the enemy give you this chance?"

"People of Qin!" Kong Fang spat out two words from between his teeth, "In the end, they will be crushed to ashes."

"It's good that you have such ambition, but in fighting a war, ambition alone is not enough." Gao Yuan walked to him, put his hands on his shoulders, and pushed him back to sit on the chair, "Your father's death , is no longer just your personal hatred, it is related to the life and death of our Zhengdong Mansion. So this time when you go back, you must not be impulsive, let alone act on impulse."

Jiang Jiaquan said on the side: "If Tan Feng is the knife that killed your father, then the Qin people are the ones who wield the knife. It is easy to kill Tan Feng, Zhou Yu and others, but they want to take revenge on the Qin people." It’s not that simple anymore.”

Kong Fang had slowly calmed down at this time, gritted his teeth and said: "Captain, all the painstaking efforts in discussing politics will be in vain. I will definitely not act impulsively when I go back this time. The Qin people are powerful, and revenge is inevitable. , but there is no need to rush."

"You understand this, you are worthy of being a general." Gao Yuan nodded and praised, "You should set off back immediately and tell Ye Zhen to prepare to fight!"

"General, I will obey your order!" Kong Fang bowed deeply to Gao Yuan, turned around and strode away.

"The Qin people may not be ready or determined to start a war with us right now, but Lu Chao might give it a try and test our depth." Kong Fang's footsteps disappeared, and Gao Yuan said slowly: " Therefore, in this battle, we cannot wait passively, but must take the initiative and give the opponent a hard beating to let them know that we are not someone we can easily provoke."

"The governor's words are very true. If this battle hurts them, it may buy some buffer time for our Zhengdong Mansion, so that we can free up our hands to solve domestic affairs and accumulate enough strength." Jiang Jiaquan. I deeply believe so.

Gao Yuan turned to look at Ning Xin beside him, "You can't take a vacation. Quwo must keep a close eye on it, and Qin must also strengthen its strength. If my estimate is good, the Qin people will definitely take Ji Ling." Get him back to Xianyang. If this person falls into the hands of Xianyang, it will have some impact on our future plans. If possible, let him disappear!"

"I understand, I will start preparing for this matter immediately after I return, and Yi Bin will personally direct this matter." Ning Xin nodded.

On the bank of Jishi Lake, the Young Guards Barracks.

Mei Hua happily packed her bags in the house. As the battalion's frontline commander, he already had an independent dormitory in the Jishi Lake military camp. By his side, the commander of the fourth battalion, his wife Brother Wu Ya was sitting on a chair with a small package beside him, "Here is my military pay and silver reward. You can bring it to my father when you go back to visit relatives this time. There are two old wild ginseng sticks in it, one is for The other one belongs to my parents and I brought it to my sister. She is pregnant with a child and needs to recuperate. She must not lose anything."

Mei Hua looked at him with disdain, "Look at your appearance. Your father and my father-in-law, do you need your money now? My family can treat them badly. Look at your usual stingy attitude. You save all your money here." Yes, I’ve got the old wild ginseng. It’s hard to get such good stuff in the river. You can take the money back and treat yourself better on weekdays.”

Wu Ya jumped up and said, "Take it back if I ask you to. I don't know who my father is, so how can he want your family's money? I don't have much money, but I owe it to my father."

"Definitely!" Mei Hua raised her hand to express surrender, "Okay, I will definitely bring it back to you, Wu Ya, I'm not talking about you, you, as a battalion commander, should usually be more generous and not only have to be on good terms with the people below. In terms of relationships, colleagues should also treat guests when it’s time to treat them.”

"You don't need to teach me how to be a good person!" Wu Ya said dully.

"It's not because you are my brother-in-law, I'm too lazy to tell you this!" Mei Hua said in a heart-rending manner, throwing the packed package on the bed, and suddenly looked at Wu Ya with joy, "Wu Ya, I'm awesome Well, within a few days of meeting your sister, the seeds were planted. By next spring, you will be promoted to uncle. Let me make it clear to you. You will have to prepare a generous gift for you by then. nephew."

Wu Ya also had a slight smile on his face, "I know that from now on, I will start saving money, and when the time comes, I will definitely give you a big gift."

"With that salary, what kind of gifts can you prepare?" Mei Hua said dissatisfied.

"I can't compare with you. You are the eldest young master and I am the son of a tenant." Wu Ya rolled his eyes.

Mei Hua was too lazy to pay attention to him, and lay down on the bed with her arms crossed, saying wistfully: "It's been more than half a year, and I can finally go home, and finally see my relatives, hehe, and my son, hahaha." "

Just as they were looking forward to the next life of visiting relatives, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside. The sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped, and a messenger rushed into the house of the two people: "The division headquarters urgently ordered that all commanders above the battalion go immediately." Division headquarters, emergency meeting." (To be continued)
