Chapter 507: Politics

Gao Yuan was sure Zilan would come, but he didn't expect Zilan to come so quickly. When he heard the sentinel outside came back to report, Gao Yuan still didn't believe his ears. You know, this is Donggu County, the representative city of Donggu County. From the edge of the county, coming from Xiling, even if the weather is good, it will take two or three days to go fast. However, starting from Feng Fayong and returning to report the news, it only took six days, which seemed normal. But you must know that Feng Fayong is a military commander who often travels around. It is common for him to ride on horseback. Zilan is one of the few nobles in the world. He usually travels by car or horseback. For him, it is probably extremely difficult. rare.

But this also shows from another aspect that Zilan's current situation is very bad. He is eager to find allies and relieve the current crisis, so he has this motivation.

Gao Yuan personally welcomed him outside the village. Even though he is now the general of the Great Yan Zhengdong, and he is in charge of one side, but if he really wants to compare with this one, his status is still inferior.

Zilan really suffered a lot during this trip. He underestimated the hardships of riding a horse. Even if the saddle was covered with thick soft padding, after several days of running around, the area between his crotches would be worn out. Blisters appeared, and the slightest touch would cause burning pain. At this moment, I finally saw my destination, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's right ahead, Sheriff!" Feng Fayong pointed to the village hidden in the valley. Before he finished speaking, a group of people walked out of the village entrance, and the leader was Gao Yuan.

"The first person is Gao Yuan!" Feng Fayong whispered.

Zilan smiled and nodded, lightly reined in the horse, and walked forward slowly. When he was still dozens of meters away from the opponent, he turned over and dismounted, and his inner thigh touched the saddle. Suddenly he frowned slightly in pain.

"Lord Sheriff!" Gao Yuan clasped his fists with both hands and lowered his hands to the ground, "I'm Gao Yuan."

Zilan also clasped her hands and returned a salute to Gao Yuan with the courtesy of an ordinary person. Straighten up. He smiled and said, "I have admired his famous name for a long time, and today I finally saw him in person. He is more handsome than I imagined. No wonder Miss Ye was able to leave those shocking words in Nanshan's eyes, which spread throughout the world."

He didn't expect such an opening, and Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, as if he was meeting a stranger now. The other person's opening remarks will all become the same sentence.

"Jing'er and I are childhood sweethearts. We are in love, but it has nothing to do with our appearance. I can't be said to be handsome." Gao Yuan said, "The governor is joking."

Seeing Gao Yuan's embarrassed face, Zilan laughed happily, this world-famous general. Finally, her tender side was revealed, and she actually felt a little shy when she said this.

Gao Yuan is indeed handsome, but what's more important than handsome is that. Over the years, he has slowly developed a dignity, between his eyebrows,

A casual glance always makes people feel great pressure. Zilan can feel this trait that is different from ordinary people, because he himself is also such a person, and what is different from him is that the young man opposite him, He also brought with him the extremely murderous spirit of fighting on the battlefield. The combination of the two made even Zilan feel a little pressure.

"The Sheriff has come a long way to work hard. Gao Yuan has tidied up two houses and prepared hot water. The Sheriff will take a bath first to relieve fatigue and revitalize the meridians." Gao Yuan extended his hand and asked Zi Lan to go first.

Zi Lan was not polite, "I'm a landowner, but I asked you to prepare these for me. I'm really sorry. I've been traveling for a few days and I'm really tired, so you're welcome."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "The Sheriff has finished bathing, and I have some wine here. When I got married, the Sheriff traveled thousands of miles to give me generous gifts. Gao Yuan felt very ashamed and had nothing to repay. I finally met the Sheriff today. I must Let’s toast the Prime Minister with a few glasses of wine to express our gratitude.”

"Fufeng's fine wine is famous all over the world. Since General Gao is the host, the wine is naturally very good. I will definitely drink a few more glasses and keep getting drunk!"

Although it looked like a shabby house from the outside, it was neatly tidied up inside. Steaming water vapor was coming out of a large wooden barrel half a man's height. Zilan just took one look and felt that her whole body was full. All the aches and pains in my body suddenly came out. I just wanted to throw my whole body into it and soak out all the fatigue of the past few days.

He took off his clothes and immersed himself in the bucket. The hot water soaked the inside of his crotch, and a heartbreaking pain made him hiss. But along with the pain came a feeling of relief that was hard to describe in words. He let out a long breath, put his hands on the edge of the bucket, put his head on it, and narrowed his eyes. Gao Yuan was indeed very young and still a bit raw, but a majestic temperament had already emerged.

Although this is the first time we meet, this person has a feeling that makes people feel like spring breeze as soon as they meet. This kind of trait can make others regard him as a friend and trustworthy without knowing it. Not everyone has it. .

Looking back on this person's battles, large and small, he couldn't find a single defeat. Some of them can be described as miracles, such as this time's Donghu breakout. In such an environment, Zhou Yuan's 100,000-strong army They were unable to escape, and in the end the strong man had to break his arm to let Zhou Yu run away. But Gao Yuan actually ran out with most of the people when there were less than 10,000 people, and severely injured several Donghu tribes.

Plan and then decide, don't fight an uncertain battle. Zilan made a comment to Gao Yuan in her heart. Since he came here to find her and wanted to unite with her to win Shannan County, he must be sure. Therefore, the important thing about this meeting with Gao Yuan is not how to win Shannan County. It’s about future cooperation between the two parties.

The door creaked open and Feng Fayong walked in quietly. "Chief, this is the wound medicine sent by Gao Yuan. It is specially made by the Huns. It is extremely effective in treating trauma."

Zi Lan hummed and took the bottle, "This Gao Yuan is so attentive that he can even tell that my thighs are worn."

"It's not difficult. Your inner thigh is bruised and injured. Whether you are walking or standing, even if you endure the pain, a person like Gao Yuan who has been on horseback for a long time can tell it with just one glance." Feng Fayong said with a smile: "Sheriff, let me rub your back."

"Okay!" Zilan sat in the barrel, enjoying Feng Fayong's strong hands rubbing on her back. "Be brave. Don't go back to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Come to Dai County to help me. Is the general of the Zuo Army still satisfied with his position?"

Feng Fayong's body froze slightly, then returned to normal, "Sheriff, we don't have many people in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry anymore. If I leave again, there will really be no one left."

"If you don't leave, some people will chase you out. If you don't leave, you might even lose your life." Zilan didn't open her eyes. "All the people on the surface have withdrawn and followed you to the Zuo Army. Secretly, Bury everyone underneath and don’t move for the time being.”

Feng Fayong was silent for a moment, "Yes, Sheriff, I will follow your arrangements."

"This time we attack Shannan County, you will be in charge of our side. You will lead the left army to cooperate with Gaoyuan in the battle. I estimate that the cavalry he comes will definitely come, and we will definitely need the infantry."

"Chief, have you decided to agree? We haven't even discussed it yet!" Feng Fayong said in surprise.

"That's not the point!" Zi Lan smiled and said, "Gao Yuan can definitely take Shannan County. Now, I'm just curious about how he can take Shannan County. I'm really looking forward to such a general who has never lost a battle."

"I'm also looking forward to it. In Luliang Mountain, I fought against him. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't even have the strength to fight back, so I surrendered." Feng Fayong said.

"What do you think of Gao Yuan?"

"Gao Yuan has great ambitions. He controlled Fufeng and secretly built Jishi City. Now he has taken over Liaoxi. I am afraid that Hejian will also be under his control before the Chinese New Year. The most terrifying thing is that this person is now effective He has brought the Huns under his command. As time goes by, his power will become stronger and stronger. This time he wants to capture Shannan County. If he really captures it, it will indeed be beneficial to us, but it will be even more beneficial to him. Qin people He is no longer a threat, but we still have to face the Qin army. We are in the front, but he is secretly developing behind. If one day he replaces the King of Yan and unifies the Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that he will be our biggest enemy. Zhao's archenemy." Feng Fayong thought for a moment and said, "I was in western Liaoning and Fufeng trained spies for him. His spy organization structure is very large. Although I really want to understand this, they are very careful. Even so, I still have to get a glimpse. This is obviously not something that the boy Cao Tianci can do. It must be a masterpiece by Gao Yuan. What Cao Tianci did was just fill in the color. Sometimes I really feel strange. , they all say that there are specialties in the arts, how come this Gao Yuan seems to be an expert in all fields?"

Zi Lan laughed and said, "You are a top spy among spies, but you are not inferior to the generals in the army when commanding battles. Why are you so surprised when it comes to him?"

"This is different!" Feng Fayong shook his head and said, "I am just a member of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The development of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has taken hundreds of years of development to reach its current scale. Gao Yuan's intelligence organization only has a few years, but This rapid development makes me extremely alarmed.”

"Do you still have someone on the other side of Donghu?"

"Also, but it has not been activated."

"Let him move and cause some trouble for Gao Yuan. Don't be stingy with gold, silver and jewelry, and make sure the Donghu people keep harassing him," Zilan said.

Feng Fayong was stunned. Before he started talking about the alliance with Gao Yuan, he started plotting against his opponent again.

"After taking Shannan County, as you said, we faced the Qin people and blocked this powerful enemy for Gao Yuan, so we can't let this guy take it easy!" Zi Lan laughed. "It doesn't matter who loses or wins. I estimate that Gao Yuan will win, but I can drag him back and delay his rise as late as possible. If Tan Feng and Zhou Yu can compete a little better, really It would be better if Yan State is run more powerfully."

Feng Fayong fell silent. He was just a spy, or a good general, but he was far from a politician.
