Chapter 1049: Success in the East and Success in the West (Forty-Two)

"Dayou, your Guli was seriously injured this time. Are you here to settle the score with me?" Looking at He Dayou who was saluting in front of him, Gao Yuan helped him up and said jokingly.

"It is an honor for my He family to serve the king. How dare I have other ideas!" He Dayou said in a low voice.

"Is it because Gu Li lost her appearance this time that you dislike her?"

"Even if Gu Li loses her appearance, she is more than worthy of a cripple like me. How dare Dayou have such a heart?"

"Well, since it's not the case, why are you hanging your face?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile: "I asked Ke Yuanshan, although Gu Li was seriously injured, as long as she takes a few months of good rest, there will be no problem in her recovery. "

"Your Majesty, Commander Helan met me earlier and told me that there is a big problem with Gu Li's identity. She, she might be..." He Dayou raised his head and looked at Gao Yuan with a very serious look on his face. Ugly.

"Maybe she is the legitimate daughter of the Xiongnu King, right?" Gao Yuan sat down, picked up the tea bowl on the table, twisted the lid of the tea bowl with two fingers, and gently floated the foam on the tea.

"Does the king know?" He Dayou's voice became three points quieter, but standing behind Gao Yuan, He Dayou's nephew He Weiyuan's face turned pale. As the legitimate daughter of the King of the Huns, this status is of great significance.

"I asked her!" Gao Yuan closed the lidded bowl with a clang and said, "Gu Li said that she is He Dayou's wife and she is Gu Li from Baiyang Village. She can't even remember the past."

"She, she really said that?" He Dayou raised his head in excitement, "You, don't you hold her accountable for concealing it?"

"Looking at your appearance, it's not that you dislike her, but that you are afraid that she will dump you!" Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "The past is over, and now the Huns have fully integrated into our Han Dynasty. This time the war You have also seen that the Huns suffered heavy losses for the Han. Forty thousand people left Jishi City, and only half of them came back. They have already proven their loyalty to the Han, so Guli’s identity is basically It doesn’t matter anymore. What should I pursue?”

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty!" He Dayou has made a lot of progress in politics after becoming a member of Parliament. He knew that if something like this happened in any other country, they would probably be eradicated and killed. The most refreshing.

"Gu Li has good military talents. If she wants to join the army and become a female general in the future, would you be willing to do so?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile, "If she becomes a female general, you will be an out-and-out full-time nanny." , I have to take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of two children."

He Dayou clasped his fists with both hands and clasped his hands to the ground, "I, the He family, can contribute to the king. That is the blessing I have accumulated in eight lifetimes. How can I be reluctant to part with it."

"That's good, that's good!" Gao Yuan smiled.

"O friend, you are the most respected councilor in our Jishi County. In the future, our Jishi County will set up an office in Jicheng to communicate with the Grand Council and the Political Hall. I intend to let you take this position in Jicheng. You see How about it?" Wu Kai smiled at the side.

He Dayou was stunned at first, but soon he understood in his heart, "I am willing, willing."

"Well, very good, dear friend, Wei Gao is now a cavalry commander of the Young Guards. You must have seen them passing by this time. Wei Yuan is now serving as the commander of the guards by my side. After a while, I will also let him go out to serve, and your He family will become my powerful general family in the future." Gao Yuan laughed.

He Dayou said goodbye happily. Not only did he not think that it was a distrust for him to settle in Jicheng, but he thought that it should be like this. He was so sensitive as a woman that he could still become a general. My family has not been implicated in any way. Where can I find such a generous king? For me, whether it is in Baiyang Village or Jicheng, it is all to serve the king. Especially when Gao Yuan finally promised that he would His two sons were brought to the palace and taught by him personally. He was even more happy to have one Buddha ascend to the earth and two Buddhas enter the earth. What does this mean? It means that his sons will be the disciples of the king in the future. Take the words of the king. For me, that means winning at the starting line. It's a pity that I don't know where my ancestral grave is, otherwise I would have to lay a few sticks of incense. However, He Dayou is sure that even if he doesn't know his ancestral grave, the place where they are buried is still there. It must be a geomantic treasure land. This is definitely the smoke coming out of the family’s ancestral tomb!

After leaving the county magistrate's house, He Dayou returned to his apartment laughing wildly. After the seriously injured Gu Li was sent back to Jishi City by Ke Yuanshan, Tang He sent people to take He Dayou and his two sons to Jishi City. The above is to take care of Gu Li, but in fact it also means to detain her. It depends on how Gao Yuan handles the matter in the end.

He Dayou was laughing, but at this time, under Dayan City, far away from Jishi City, someone was crying without tears, and this person was Wang Xiao, who had been unlucky a few years ago.

Li Xin attacked Jishi City, and Wang Xiao led an army of 50,000 deep into the Hetao to attack Dayan City, another important town in the Han Kingdom. Dayan City was where the Liaodong Protectorate of the Han Kingdom was stationed. Sun Xiao, who was transferred from military service to civilian service, He is the Protector of the East Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.

Dayan City's garrison was not large, only 3,000 people, and it was affiliated with Sun Xiao's Protectorate. After the outbreak of the Jiji War, Sun Xiao issued an urgent order to transfer the 10,000 Kumamoto garrison stationed in Donghu back to Dayan City to assist in the defense.

However, things greatly exceeded their expectations. Before the Qin army's military operation to attack Dayan City had begun, news of Li Xin's defeat had already arrived.

Sun Xiao had no worries at all about defending Dayan City. Although there were only more than 10,000 regular troops in Dayan City, it was indeed a bit insufficient for a big city like Dayan City. However, Sun Xiao had recruited enough young and strong men. Most of the immigrants who dared to move to Dayan County were desperate people who hung their heads on their belts. These people had no money in their previous countries. After finally coming here, they had fields, cattle, sheep, houses, married wives, and had children. They were planning to live a peaceful life. The Qin army But they came. If they want to live a peaceful life again, they must drive the Qin people away. Therefore, these people's desire to fight is stronger than that of the regular army. Moreover, most of these guys are ignorant and fearless. They don't understand the dangers of war at all. This is not a fight between a group of thugs swinging bricks and holding machetes on the street.

Secondly, Dayan City is a replica of Jishi City. Sun Xiao, who has experienced the defense of Jishi City, has witnessed the strength of this city in defense.

Thirdly, Dayan City is now full of talents, including Zhou Yuan, the former Taiwei of Yan State, and the former Prime Minister of Qi State. Tian Dan, together with the great general Kumamoto, are all well-known figures. Putting aside Kumamoto, Zhou Yuan, Tian Dan is much more famous than Wang Xiao. With these people helping Sun Xiao with ideas, how could Sun Xiao be afraid of the so-called famous general Wang Xiao? Tian Dan might not work hard, but Zhou Yuan would definitely help him wholeheartedly. His granddaughter is the wife of the eldest prince of the Han Kingdom!

Sun Xiao completely left the task of defending the city to Kumamoto. Anyway, there are two old men above to give advice, and Kumamoto, a veteran general, is in charge. War, I just need to do the logistics for them. Commanding the army in battle, Sun Xiao knew it was not his strong point. Otherwise, the king would not have transferred him out of the military system.

Wang Xiao lived in the manor where Kumamoto used to live by the Dayan Lake. Because all the members of the Zhou family moved here, the manor has been expanded several times. Dozens of houses surround Zhou Yuan's residence in the center, like the moon surrounded by stars. Zhou Yuan is now living a carefree life. He fishes and grows vegetables at leisure. It is better than falling. Ning Zecheng, who was in a state of great luck, felt that he was extremely lucky. Of the three leaders of the Yan State, he was the only one who could have a good ending.

But the current master Wang Xiao was emaciated. When he just received the news that Li Xin was defeated and all 100,000 troops were destroyed and annihilated by Gao Yuan, he was really burning with anger. Li Xin's defeat meant that his retreat had been cut off.

"Maybe it was the retribution for the tens of thousands of Xiongnu captives I massacred at the Holan Pass!" The white-haired Wang Xiao looked at his son Wang Jian and lamented: "God has destined me to die on the grassland."

"Father, although the situation is extremely dangerous, it is not the end of the road. We still have 50,000 troops. If we can't take Dayan City, we won't fight. We will move our camp forward to Xianfeng City, Tongwan City, and the Liaodong Peninsula of the Donghu people. I don't believe that the Han Kingdom has just controlled the Liaodong Peninsula for a short time, and the Donghu people there will be submissive. There may be a lot of resistance. As long as our army arrives there, these people will definitely rise up. As long as the Liaodong Peninsula is in chaos, We have a chance." Wang Jian said.

"Your idea is good, but we can't go!" Wang Xiao shook his head and said: "Scouts reported that Gao Yuan's two cavalry armies of the Young Guards, totaling 20,000 cavalry, are on their way here. With their speed, they can reach Dayan City in half a month at most. How long will it take for us to go to Xianfeng City and Tongwan City? How long will it take to reach Donghu? Can the food and grass in the army last for so long? These days, our army has been sweeping outside, and the food we have found is not enough, not to mention We are going to Liaodong and we have to cross the Liaohe River. The rainy season is coming to the grassland."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try." Wang Jian raised his head and said, "Maybe we can succeed, which is much better than staying here and waiting to die. Once the Young Guards arrive, we can't escape."

Wang Xiao was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at his son, but his eyes suddenly became bright: "Of course we have to go, but not to Xianfeng City, nor to Tongwan City, nor to Liaodong Peninsula, but to another place!" (To be continued)
