Chapter 402: Harvest

Seeing Yan Shenghao's troops retreating slowly in the wind and snow, He Lanyan was extremely dissatisfied, "Gao Yuan, why did you let him go? This is such a good opportunity. If you take him down, Hejian County will be yours. Don't they all want a piece of territory that really belongs to them? Kill him and grab it, right?"

"It's not as simple as you think!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "The current Hejian County is too big for me. I can't eat it. Swallowing it forcibly will hurt my stomach." Looking at He Lanyan , he smiled, "Hejian County is Dayan's territory, Yan Shenghao is the governor of Hejian, and I am Dayan's General Zhengdong!"

He Lanyan's eyes widened, and she asked puzzledly: "But you have been exposed now, and everyone knows that you attacked Hejian County. If that's the case, why don't you do it and keep going? Leave such a tail, It makes people choke up when they think about it!"

"Who said I attacked, it's obviously the Gongsun tribe of the Xiongnu!" Gao Yuan laughed loudly, turned around and walked back with the rein in hand.

"Aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open?" He Lanyan snorted, "Someone must believe it?"

"Those who should believe will believe it, and those who don't will sometimes pretend to believe it." Gao Yuan said. "That's not the point, is it?"

He Lanyan lowered her head and thought for a while, but still shook her head, "You guys, each of you has twists and turns in your stomach, and your thoughts are really unpredictable."

The two rode their horses forward slowly, and the infantry behind them deliberately slowed down, keeping a certain distance from the two of them. The wind and snow became stronger, and the snow seeds slowly turned into flying pieces. snowflakes. As the wind fluttered in the air, the bodies of the two of them were soon covered with a layer of white.

"After this matter is over, why don't you go back to Fufeng with me? The conditions here are a bit harsh, and you can go to the Niulanshan camp. Stay with your brother. We are about to go to the east, and we can stand side by side again." It's time to fight!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and gently brushed the snowflakes from He Lanyan's hair.

Biting her lips lightly, He Lanyan thought for a moment, "No. I'll just stay here. Baokang is already in your hands. There must always be someone in charge here. I'll stay in Baokang. I Don't want to go anywhere."

"Why?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise: "You are here, and you have no friends or acquaintances. With your temperament, you are not suffocated."

"It's better to die of suffocation than to die of jealousy!" He Lanyan cast a sidelong glance at Gao Yuan, "Why should I go back to Fufeng? Seeing you and your wife chattering about my love every day? Seeing the man I like lying in the arms of other women , I can't bear this, so I might as well stay in Baokang and leave you far away. It's better to see nothing, but to hear nothing."

"swallow!"

"never mind,

Brother Gao, I don't mean to blame you. He Lanyan shook her head and smiled self-consciously. "It's my own bad luck. I just want to spend a period of time quietly alone in a strange place." Maybe within a few days after you go back, I hurried back again. "

Gao Yuan nodded, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

In Baokang City, everything has fallen into dust, Yan Peng surrendered, and the reinforcements have been waiting for a long time. When the sky was bright, he knew that the reinforcements would never come. Either the whole army was wiped out and died on the spot, or he endured humiliation and survived. , in order to make a comeback. Regardless of whether the opponent is a Hun barbarian or something else, Yan Peng does not think that the opponent will kill him. If it was the Huns, he would be a big fat sheep, and he could sell it for a good price. If it was another force, he would not die, because once he died, this matter would become a big deal.

After Yan Peng surrendered, he didn't suffer much. The other captives were all tied up, but he, the chief general, was just used as a weapon. When he walked past the opponent, he suddenly saw Ye Zhen. It suddenly dawned on me that this was the case, it turned out to be Gao Yuan's troops. I should have thought about it a long time ago, with such a powerful infantry, who can drive the Huns on the grassland, besides General Gao Yuan, who else is there?

Except for Ye Zhen, he didn't know the group of generals on the opposite side, but now, he knew that these people were all high-ranking generals of the Eastern Expedition Army. His father wanted to trouble Ye Tiannan, but in a blink of an eye, Gao Yuan came to seek revenge. Yan Peng sighed and said that the relationship between Ye Tiannan and his son-in-law was not very good, it seemed like it was all nonsense.

"General Ye Zhen!" Stopping in front of Ye Zhen's horse, Yan Peng stopped, fisted with both hands, and saluted Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "What do you want to say, General Yan?"

Yan Peng turned his head and pointed at the opponent's soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, "There are many wounded people in the Hejian soldiers, and I ask General Ye to take the initiative to heal them and not to make up for them. As for the expenses incurred, our Hejian The county will pay for it."

"General Yan, please rest assured that we don't have the habit of killing prisoners. General Yan, I have been wronging you for a few days. After we have discussed with the guards of Yan County and settled all the aftermath, General Yan will be free." Ye Zhen He smiled and said that he was really excited. As a general of the Ye family, he was familiar with military books and had experience in leading troops, but it was the first time he had actually set foot on the battlefield and participated in such a large-scale battle. There is still a gap between the descriptions. For the first time in the war, Ye Zhen was able to win a big victory. This made Ye Zhen very satisfied. It was also the first time for a thousand private soldiers of the Ye family to set foot on the battlefield. Compared with soldiers, although there are still some gaps, it is also very good.

"Then thank you General Ye!" Yan Peng smiled wryly, and under the escort of the soldier, he walked towards the city.

Wu Ci'an's face was pale. He was on the tower and witnessed this one-sided war from beginning to end, and he was credited with this siege. He not only participated in the early tactical deception, but even personally persuaded Yan Peng to surrender in the end. Yan's great enmity can't be washed away.

"General Gao is back!" Cheers suddenly erupted from the crowd. Wu Ci'an raised his head and looked in the direction of Yingkou, where countless cavalry were rushing towards this side against the wind and snow. It seems that Yan Junshou also suffered a big loss.

The small hall of the county government office was originally the place where Wu Ci'an received guests, but now he was sitting in the guest seat, and above the master seat, Gao Yuan was sipping tea with a smile while looking at the two guests.

One is Wu Ci'an, the magistrate of Baokang County, and the other is Hu Anguo, a wealthy gentry in Baokang County who made contributions in this war. Both of them were a little embarrassed. First, Gao Yuan's reputation was too great, and his current status was too high compared to the two of them. Second, he had just seen how Gao Yuan's subordinates defeated Hejian like cutting melons and vegetables. The county soldiers have to be afraid in their hearts.

"This time, the two of you have made great contributions to winning. Although Yan Shenghao is not very capable, after all, he has been in charge of Hejian for many years. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers under his command is quite good. If we go head-to-head, even if we win, we will pay A big price. But now we have destroyed Yan Shenghao's fundamental strength at an extremely small price, and it is really thanks to the two of you."

Wu Ci'an lowered his head, his face embarrassed, but Hu Anguo cupped his hands and said: "The governor of Yan County has been in charge of Hejian for many years, and his rule is rotten, and the people complain a lot. Now that General Gao has come to set things right, the people of Hejian must be grateful. Although Hu is stupid, he also knows Under the rule of the general, Fufeng Chima is thriving day by day, from abject poverty to rich, attacking Donghu outside, enriching the people's livelihood inside, the people praise and love it, and it is really a blessing to keep health under the general's rule."

"Mr. Hu is too much!" Gao Yuan smiled and nodded at him. "What are your plans for the future, both of you?"

"Naturally, Hu is the only general who will follow the lead." Looking at the dejected Wu Ci'an, Hu Anguo expressed his opinion loudly.

"Okay!" Gao Yuan nodded happily. Hu Anguo is a businessman, so he naturally knows how to choose. It is the nature of a businessman to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but Wu Ci'an is a bit of a scholar. He was led step by step to go deeper and deeper. It's not very comfortable.

"Magistrate Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Ci'an sighed, "General Gao, didn't you ask this question knowingly? Now, Wu has no choice but to follow General Gao. What else can I do? Now the governor of Yan Jun wants to peel my skin and drink my blood. You will be willing to eat my meat!"

"Master Wu doesn't have to be so depressed!" Hu Anguo said with a smile: "Good birds choose trees to live in. Master Wu has won the hearts of the people in Baokang, and his management of Baokang is also well-organized, but under the strict rule of the governor, it is rare to show his heart. Ambitious, why not follow General Gao and open up a new world?"

Gao Yuan laughed, "Mr. Hu said it well, County Magistrate Wu is highly respected in Baokangde, I know very well in my heart that now that the war has just ended, County Magistrate Wu has to work hard, and this County Magistrate of Baokang has to ask Mr. Work hard."

"Obey!"

"Mr. Hu!" Gao Yuan turned to look at Hu Anguo, "I heard that Mr. Hu has a Lin'er in his family who has read history books and is knowledgeable. I intend to invite your son to be the magistrate of Yingkou County. I wonder if Mr. Hu will give up his love?"

Hu Anguo was surprised and delighted at the same time, "Hu Bin, the dog, has been studying since he was a child, and he is indeed quite talented, but he has never been an official. This, this sudden appointment as the county magistrate, I'm afraid it will be a mistake. It's an adult's business!"

"Being an official is nothing difficult!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "It's just the word "rich the people". What's so difficult about having a mature and prudent person like Mr. Hu behind you to advise your son?"

"General Gao, isn't Yingkou still in the hands of Governor Yan?" Wu Ci'an interrupted.

"It doesn't matter, Yingkou will become ours soon." Gao Yuan said with a chuckle, "Junshou Yan was defeated by us, and even his son became our prisoner. You have to pay some price, lest my army drive straight into the river. Jiancheng. The current Yan Junshou, the soldiers under his command may not even be able to stand on the walls of Hejian City, so he would not care about a mere camp entrance."
