Chapter 495: The Most Important Thing

Looking at the passionate Gao Yuan, Ye Zhong asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Gao Yuan smiled, Ye Zhong's words meant that he was willing to join his camp sincerely, and regarded himself as a member of this camp, not just Ye's retainer.

"General Ye, you are well-informed and broad-minded. Tell me, what should we focus on for the current plan? What should we do next?" Gao Yuan asked.

Ye Zhong thought about it for a while, "If you just want to gain a foothold in Yan State and become a tyrant who cuts dramas, you have already achieved it now. Yan State is currently facing external and internal troubles, and Tan Feng and Zhou Yu are indeed capable and capable." People with good vision, seeing that things are not going well, immediately thought of turning hostility into friendship with you, and gave up the entire eastern part of the kingdom. It seems that they have suffered a big loss, but from another perspective, they have also taken advantage of it. At least, they don’t have to worry about the eastern part of the kingdom."

"I need to block Donghu for them." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"That's right. Actually, that's what you need to do." Ye nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about Donghu's threats anymore. Tan and Zhou can devote all their energy to the kingdom's internal affairs. If I guess right, Next, they will compromise with Zhao Guo, at the price of giving up the whole city and other five cities, in exchange for friendship with Zhao Guo."

"At the beginning, the five cities were taken back by Yan Guo with great efforts. Didn't they fear the domestic public opinion when they did this?" Gao Yuan frowned.

"One moment is another moment. Yan State's defeat in Donghu has caused panic in the country. At this time, no one wants to be an enemy of Zhao State. After Zhao State is resolved, Tan Zhou and the others will definitely wholeheartedly plunder the nobles' fiefdoms. As the most important task in the next few years, it is to establish a highly centralized central government like Qin State, and Zhao State, after taking back the five cities, will gain a strategic advantage over Yan State, which can be attacked and retreated After all, their biggest enemy is still the Qin State in the west. Qin State's fangs have been exposed. When Tan Feng fought you bloody, the Qin army had already After defeating the main force of the Han army at the border between Qin and Han, it is unknown whether King Han can spend the Spring Festival in his palace." Ye Zhong shook his head, "Zhao Mu has resolved the border issue with Yan. Afterwards, the focus will inevitably be on the Qin people, whether to support the Wei State, or directly attack the Qin State itself to contain Qin General Li Xin's offensive, is still unknown."

Gao Yuan clapped his hands together and sighed, "The fight between Li Xin and Zhao Mu is really worth looking forward to!"

"Zhao Mu, Li Xin, the world's famous generals, but they are not your opponents now. Zhengdong Army must first face the attack of Donghu and the calculations of Tanzhou and the others. Although you own the eastern part of the kingdom, General Gao, you Don't forget, both western Liaoning and the grasslands are lands with extremely scarce resources. The wealth and population can't compare with the whole kingdom. When you deal with Donghu, Tan Zhou will not forget to hit you with a sap. The Eastern Army needs to be distracted for two purposes, and the war will inevitably continue. If this is the case, you will not be able to concentrate on developing internal affairs at all.

War will only make you poorer and poorer, and the court will inevitably become richer and richer under the strategy of Tan Zhou and others. The future situation is worrying. "

"Barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes!" Gao Yuan laughed, "A few years ago, I was just a small county lieutenant, with only a few hundred soldiers, and a territory of only a hundred miles, but I still made it to where I am today step by step. I dare to fight, but they dare not, in fact, General Ye Zhong, you were wrong when you said that I want to focus on two things."

"Huh?" Ye Zhong looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, "Is there something wrong with my analysis?"

"I don't want to do two things at once, but three things at one time!" Gao Yuan raised three fingers, "The Qin people set up Shannan County, one is to spy on Zhao Guodai County, and the other is to monitor the prairie. Seeing that I took all the Huns for my own use, they will definitely come to make trouble."

Ye Zhong was startled, "I didn't think of this, Qin people are so powerful, even if they just look at you with one eye, I'm afraid it's enough for us to drink a pot."

"It is indeed enough for us to drink a pot, so I called a foreign aid."

"Zi Lan from Dai County?" Ye Zhong patted his head and asked.

"General Ye is really powerful. It is Zilan from Dai County. Qin people want to control my power in the grassland, and I want to bite him too. If I can take down Shannan County, ha, Qin people will look good. "Gao Yuan said proudly.

Ye Zhong's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. If you can take Shannan County, with the maneuverability of the Huns cavalry under your command now, you can directly threaten the Qin people's mainland. In this way, your position in the Central Plains will be greatly improved. Ascension, not to mention other countries, Zhao Guo alone will give you a certain amount of support, allowing you to play a role in restraining the Qin people."

"I think the same way. I don't ask Zhao Guo to give me anything else. I just want them to agree to trade with me freely. In this way, I can get rid of the economic blockade imposed on me by Tan Feng and Zhou Yu. Especially It is strategic materials such as food and iron." Gao Yuan said: "So my most important task next is to take down Shannan County and get Zhao Guo's support."

"If you want to touch people from Qin, you have to be very careful." Ye Zhong said seriously.

"This is the best chance. The Donghu people haven't slowed down yet. At least they won't attack me this winter and next spring. And the Qin people are attacking South Korea, so they won't be able to spare too many troops. So I want to strike while the iron is hot. At this point, take Shannan County in one fell swoop, reach a certain degree of alliance with Zhao Guo, solve the people's livelihood problems in western Liaoning, and then go back and deal with the Donghu people. My time is very tight, even if I am not ready, I have to do it "Gao Yuan took a breath: "If I win this battle, I will win the most important time."

"What about Hejian? What are you going to do?"

"Hejian doesn't need to pay too much attention." Gao Yuan shook his head, "Yan Shenghao has already been disabled by me, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu have basically given up on Hejian County, and the support for him is limited. Only one general will be in charge. With thousands of soldiers, Hejian can be taken. Of course, if Yan Shenghao is sensible, I don't mind letting him live a happy old age."

"It's a good way to use a big stick first, and then give the sweet dates. If Yan Shenghao doesn't know how to play, he can only be taken down. Do you need me to deal with the Qin people?" Ye Zhong squeezed his fist and said .

"No!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "General Ye, I would like to invite you to sit in Liaoxi City."

"Sitting in Liaoxi City?" Ye Zhong looked at him in surprise.

"That's right, sit in Liaoxi City. You will be the chief general here, training troops, and stockpiling food." Gao Yuan looked at Ye Zhong with a smile.

Turning his head around, Ye Zhong understood, and couldn't help laughing, "Are you going to engage in a strategic deception?"

"That's right. Tan Feng and Zhou Yu will be nervous when I let you sit in Liaoxi City. They are afraid that I will break my promise and march into Langya County. Because no matter how you look at it, you are the most enthusiastic about this matter. People, of course, what I most want to deceive is not Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, but the Black Ice Terrace of the Qin people."

"Let the people of Qin make a misjudgment, and when you attack Shannan County, you can catch them by surprise." Ye Zhong said.

"That's right. Although Shannan County is a newly established county and doesn't have a strong city yet, the people of Qin are good at fighting and I don't have many soldiers. If we face each other with gongs and drums, I really have no chance of winning, only surprise , when he didn't think of it at all, only by giving him a hard blow can he achieve the greatest result and win Shannan County." Gao Yuan nodded.

"Are you going to command this battle yourself?"

"Yes, I am going to let you sit in the west of Liaoning, and Meng Chong and He Lanxiong will go to the Niulanshan camp to prevent the Donghu people, and Ye Zhen will lead the troops to attack Hejian. A group of elite soldiers rushed thousands of miles to attack Shannan County."

"Rushing for thousands of miles, once the battle is unfavorable, it is not a good thing!" Ye Zhong frowned.

"It's said to be running thousands of miles, but don't forget, I still have an important foreign aid?" Gao Yuan laughed.

"You mean Zilan?"

"Yes, before attacking Shannan County, I plan to go to Dai County." Gao Yuan said, "There is one more thing, I might as well let you know that Uncle Lu's son, Lu Chao, is working as a Sima in Shannan County."

"You want to use this person as an internal response?" Ye Zhong was delighted.

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Lu Chao is an upright person, far less flexible than Uncle Lu, and now the people of Qin are the largest country in the world, and Lu Chao is a closed disciple of Li Ru, and now he is even more successful at a young age, ranking as Sima in Shannan County. How can the strong be weak? Even if I have a strong relationship with the Lu family, this is impossible."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Uncle Lu is dead. I am going to send Aunt Lu to Luchao in Shannan County. At the same time, I will also tie up the murderer Zhang Zhuo." Gao Yuan's eyes flickered.

Ye Zhong looked at Gao Yuan, and said after a while, "If you do this, Lu Chao will hate you for the rest of your life. I'm afraid there will be no more brotherhood."

A tinge of pain flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes, and he said after a long while: "There is nothing I can do about it. I don't have enough troops. And there are too many people I need to protect. Even if Uncle Lu blames me under Jiuquan, I can only do this. "

Ye Zhong sighed, "There is no other way. By the way, General Gao, there is someone you can ask to come back to help you."

"who?"

"Mr. Xun Xiu Xun."

"Him?" Xun Xiu's face flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes. He didn't have a good impression of this person at first, but this time it was him who helped Ye Tiannan clean up the body and deal with the funeral affairs, but it made Gao Yuan's impression of him great. For improvement. No matter what else he has, Gao Yuan is impressed by this quality of being consistent from beginning to end.

"Mr. Xun is also a master of the world. No matter which country he goes to, he will be a guest of honor. General Gao, don't you think you lack someone who can work for you internally and externally? It is the post of internal history?" Ye Chong said. "Mr. Xun is the right person for this position."

"Where is Mr. Xun now? I heard that he disappeared from Jicheng after confiscating the remains of his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Where is he, I know." rs
