Chapter 205: Casting the Bait

Ye Jing'er raised her head abruptly, looked at Ye Tiannan, her eyes were full of disbelief, "What did you just say?" She asked in a shy voice

Ye Tiannan had a slight smile on his lips: "I said, since that's the case, how about giving him a chance? Do you want me to say it again?"

Ye Jinger shook her head again and again, "No, no need, father, have you agreed to my marriage with Brother Gao? Can Brother Gao come to Jicheng?" The color flew up, and the huge surprise seemed to overwhelm her for a moment. She clenched her hands tightly. On her fair skin, you could clearly see the veins exposed, and the whole person trembled.

"It's not that easy!" Ye Tiannan snorted coldly, looking at Ye Jing'er's expression, he sighed secretly in his heart, after all, it's a girl who won't be allowed to stay in college, "My Ye family's daughter won't marry a commoner, A small county lieutenant"

The expression of ecstasy slowly faded away, Ye Jinger looked at her father puzzled, "Then, what do you mean by that?"

"If he wants to marry my Ye Tiannan's daughter, he has to prove himself, and at the same time, reach the position where he can marry my daughter within the time I set. I said to give him a chance, but I promised to give him a certain amount of time and opportunity." That's all." Ye Tiannan threw out the bait

"As long as you have the time and opportunity, Brother Gao will definitely not let you down. I have confidence in him. Father, you don't know that he has built a military force in Fufeng within two years of his service, which has made the Donghu people frightened." He is strong in the army, and he is especially good at making money. Father, you probably don’t know it? The wine in Liaoxi County is the best in the entire Dayan, and the secret recipe is actually from the hands of Brother Gao.” Ye Jing’er In order to emphasize Gao Yuan’s ability, Wu Kai is sold cleanly, if Wu Kai is here. I'll be so angry that I vomit blood on the spot

"Oh, he still has this ability?" Ye Tiannan was very surprised, now Liaoxi wine has been sold in Jicheng, although due to various reasons, the sales are still limited to a very small range. But the high price is already staggering. I heard that Liaoxi Zhang Shouyue was able to expand his army on a large scale precisely because of the huge profits this wine brought him. It’s really a lot of money. "When you write to Gao Yuan later, ask him to copy the recipe of this wine and bring it to me." Ye Tiannan opened his mouth loudly

"Write a letter?" Ye Jing'er asked in surprise, "Have you allowed me to contact Brother Gao?"

"Since I promised to give him this opportunity, I will naturally allow you to exchange letters!" Ye Tiannan snorted, "You write to tell him that there is an opportunity in front of you now. It will be pulled away immediately. All counties will send troops to Yuyang to help in the battle. Didn’t you say that he has extraordinary ability to manage the army and is invincible? Then he dares to go to the front line of Yuyang, where is it, and fight for me. If he can show his talents and make extraordinary achievements and help me recover the five cities, then I can't think about your affairs."

"Father,

Are you serious? "Ye Jinger's eyes shone brightly. Brother Gao was able to advance and retreat freely on the Donghu battlefield. What are the people of Zhao Guo?

"I am the Prime Minister of the Great Yan Kingdom. When will my words not count?" Ye Tiannan said angrily, "Do you really distrust your father that much?"

With a happy smile on Ye Jinger's face, she walked up to Ye Tiannan, squatted down, and supported her father's knees with both hands, "Father, Brother Gao is on the battlefield, you will give him a chance to make meritorious service?"

Ye Tiannan looked at Ye Jing'er with a half-smile, "For my daughter, of course I am willing to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, and I can even beg for him to beg the Taiwei Zhou Yuan who is in charge of the battle this time. First consider Gao Yuan, how about it, Jinger, are you satisfied with what I do?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, father, I am satisfied!" Ye Jing'er jumped up happily, "I will write a letter to Brother Gao right away, and I will send it to you when I get back. Please send someone to Fufeng as soon as possible. When fighting on the front line, you have to be well-prepared. Brother Gao used to say that you have to think carefully about everything. Don’t be afraid of 10,000, but just in case. Especially when fighting on the front line, if you don’t think about victory, you must first think about defeat. If you walk on thin ice, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.”

"It's reasonable to say, it depends on whether he can do it!" Ye Tiannan was a little surprised, a son of a big soldier who had never read a book, could say such a brilliant art of war.

"Of course, otherwise, Brother Gao fought so many battles with Donghu people in Fufeng, how could he keep winning? At the beginning, he only had more than a hundred people!" Ye Jinger said proudly

Ye Tiannan stood up and sneered in his heart: "Even if you are talented, the previous battles were not small battles involving hundreds or thousands of people. This time, both sides have gathered at least one hundred thousand troops. Waiting for the battlefield, let alone the little county lieutenant, he has never seen it before. In such a big scene, it is really easy to kill a few people."

"You should write a letter, explain the cause and effect clearly, and let Gao Yuan decide whether to go or not? I won't force him. Of course, if he doesn't go, he will lose the chance to marry you. In a few days, I have some official letters to send to Liaoxi , just sent them together"

Ye Jing'er nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Daddy, Brother Gao will definitely be willing to go!" She said with certainty

"That's good!" Ye Tiannan said: "Jing'er, I got someone to find you a lot of long hair. Later, you ask the girl to pick it up for you. This look is really ugly."

"Go on? Isn't that too much trouble?"

"What's the trouble? What are they doing at home? Also, I heard that you are depressed all day long and don't eat well. This is not okay. If you want to wait for Gao Yuan, then You have to make yourself fat." Ye Tiannan walked downstairs with his hands behind his back

"I'll send it off to daddy!" Ye Jing'er walked forward with a smile on her face, reached out to hold Ye Tiannan's arm, and helped him go downstairs

Seeing Ye Jinger's hospitality, Ye Tiannan couldn't help shaking his head, wondering how Ye Jinger would feel when he heard that Gao Yuan died in battle after a year or so? But this is not important anymore, didn't I give Gao Yuan a chance? She may be in pain, she may be heartbroken, but she can't blame herself

With a satisfied smile. Ye Tiannan left the small building, and with his decades of skill in the world, lying and deceiving people is really a master, let alone Ye Jinger. No matter how old people are, they are not enough to look down on in front of him. This ability, he has reached the level of a master, when it comes to it. Sometimes even he thinks it's true

A few days passed suddenly, seeing the official letter sent by the courier to the west of Liaoning together with the letter written by Ye Jinger to Gao Yuan, Ye Tiannan let out a long breath, the bait has been cast, it depends on whether the fish bite the bait or not , In fact, it doesn't matter whether you bite the hook or not. If he bites the hook, Gao Yuan will end up dead, and he can fulfill his wish. If the fish is unwilling to bite the hook, he will have an explanation in front of his daughter. It's not that I don't give him a chance. It's just that he doesn't care about you as much as you think at all. If that's the case, why should you be reluctant to part with him? Although this is a bit regrettable, Gao Yuan will continue to live, but a small county captain, should he still take it to heart?

"The big thing is settled!" Xun Xiu stroked his beard with a smug smile on his face, "Tiannan, there is finally a solution to the matter of Jing'er, next year at the latest. You can solve this matter satisfactorily."

"Thanks to Mr.'s ingenious strategy." Ye Tiannan also smiled, "This is just a trivial matter. The battle of Yuyang next year will be the biggest event of our Ye family's recovery. Sir, the king has decided to make you a doctor." Ye Zhong will also take up the post of commander of the Imperial Army of Jicheng. In this way, when Zhou Yuan goes to Yuyang next year, we can take the opportunity to control the army of Jicheng. Yuan will announce it after he sets off on the expedition, so even if Zhou Yuan wants to object, it will be beyond his reach."

"What about Ning Zecheng? This is also a big obstacle." Xun Xiu asked

Ye Tiannan laughed, "It's too late for Ning Zecheng to be able to dismantle Zhou Yuan's power! After Ye Zhong became the commander of the imperial army, and after Zhou Yuan came back from the battle, he would not be able to seize the military power in Jicheng with one hand. What to look forward to!"

"Okay, this is a good job. Think about the process of Linghu Chao's downfall. We have to take precautions. Zhou Yuan's military strength in Jicheng is too large. This time he took away part of his core strength. It’s a good opportunity for us to take advantage of it.”

"Mr. is right." Seeing that everything is moving forward step by step according to his own plan, Ye Tiannan is full of complacency. It won't take long for the Ye family to regain a firm foothold in Dayan.

"Tiannan, the political affairs are going well for us now, but there is one more thing you have to worry about!" Xun Xiu reminded

"Is that true, sir?"

"Financial power" Xun Xiu woke up and said, "Although Langya County has taken it back, but after that battle, Langya's vitality was hurt. Those princesses attacked very hard. For a while, Langya County could not Give you enough support, Langya County is your fiefdom, your people, we can't fish in the marsh, we need to have a long-term vision, which requires recuperation, not only can't increase taxes, but also have to reduce them appropriately to highlight our relationship with Ling In order to gain the support of the people of Langya as soon as possible, but in this way, we will be stretched financially, and now, it is time to spend money, we need to open source!"

"This is indeed a problem!" Ye Tiannan frowned and said, "I heard from Jing'er today that Zhang Shouyue in Liaoxi is now making a lot of money in the wine business, and the secret recipe for wine making came from Gao Yuan."

"You mean the wine sold at Xianyun Tower?" Xun Xiu asked in surprise

"Exactly!" Ye Tiannan nodded and said, "I have already asked Jing'er to mention in the letter that Gao Yuan should present the secret recipe. Once we get the secret recipe, we can also play a role in it."

"I'm afraid that Zhang Shou's appointment will obstruct it." Xun Xiudao: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. After all, we and Zhang Shou's appointment cannot completely tear our face apart. But Tiannan, I thought of another way."

"What kind of way did you find, Mister?" Ye Tiannan said happily

Xun Xiu smiled, "You meet someone first, once you see him, you will know where the way is!"

Xun Xiu clapped his hands, "Come in!"

Outside the door, a person came in, and he fell on the ground. Seeing that person's appearance, Ye Tiannan was a little displeased, but the person's face was really ferocious, a knife scar stretched from the corner of the eyebrow on the left side of his face to the corner of his mouth, and he was thin. It's like a hemp stick, it's annoying to watch

"Who is this person?" Ye Tiannan looked at Xun Xiu in puzzlement and asked
