Chapter 528: What You Want, I Have
The war horses galloped across the vast snowy field. Behind them, a long snow dragon rolled up and danced in the wind. Led by Gao Yuan, more than a hundred cavalry from the Eastern Expedition Army galloped across the snowy field. For every two people who watch romance, one has registered an account on 小°shuo.com. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is eager to return home. Most of the three thousand cavalry will arrive at Jishi City along with the Hejian County soldiers led by Yan Peng who join the Eastern Expedition Army. After the flag change, these soldiers will march directly to the Hetao Plain to meet with Xu Yuan there. Yan Haibo and others met. The cavalry commanded by He Lanxiong and the infantry accompanied these Hejian County soldiers, which was also a kind of surveillance. After all, they had just surrendered, so there was always no harm in being more vigilant, and Yan Shenghao and Yan Peng had no objection to this.
Those who followed Gao Yuan back in advance were only a group of his newly selected guards.
On the snowfield, crisscrossing fields and roads have appeared, which means they are very close to home. Seeing these, Gao Yuan feels even more joyful. The settlement centered on Jishi City has now It has expanded greatly. There has been heavy snow this year. Tomorrow will definitely be another good harvest year. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest! Moreover, the output of the raw land reclaimed last year will be much higher than last year after one year. Food is still the foundation of this era.
However, due to limited conditions, Jishi City cannot cultivate too much land. If it is too far away from Jishi Lake, water sources will become a problem. The most fundamental way to solve the problem of food is to occupy and set up roots in the Hetao Plain. In the end, the fertile land and abundant water sources there will become the real granary and the wings of the Eastern Conquest Army.
However, Thorpe will definitely keep his eye on someone.
In the next few years, it will be time for the Eastern Expedition Army and the Donghu people to decide the outcome. Once the Donghu people are defeated, he will have control of the prairie and at the same time take back the vast land of Liaodong. Only then will he truly have the strength to challenge the world.
At that time, I will no longer have to make excuses.
There was the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and Gao Yuan looked around. In the distance, several horsemen were approaching here quickly. Their white cloaks were flying high, and along with the white cloaks, there were also those black braids.
"It's Yanzi!" Gao Yuan smiled and reined in the horse.
"Gao Yuan, are you back?" He Lanyan also saw Gao Yuan in the distance. His horse speed suddenly accelerated, like an arrow coming from the string, and in an instant, he opened the distance between him and the followers behind him.
In Jishi City, He Lanyan was the only one who directly called Gao Yuan by his name, and even Ye Jing'er just called him Brother Gao.
The war horse galloped to Gao Yuan's side, stopped steadily in a beautiful small arc, and happened to be riding alongside Gao Yuan. He Lanyan, who had a blush on her cheeks due to the cold, looked at Gao Yuan excitedly. ,
"I really didn't expect to meet you here. Did I think you wouldn't be able to come back soon?"
"The Chinese New Year is coming, so I naturally have to rush back as soon as possible." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "It's such a cold weather. If you don't stay in the city, what are you doing here in the ice and snow?"
"Have you forgotten, aren't Sun Xiao and Cao Lian'er getting married? I'll go out and find some gifts for them." He Lanyan raised her eyebrows, "Looking at you, you seem to have forgotten."
Gao Yuan patted his head, "You are right. I have been so busy during this period that I really didn't think of this. But you want to give Sun Xiao a gift. There is nothing in the city, even if there is nothing in Jishi City, you can let Sihai It’s quite easy for the merchant to find it for you!”
"When I, He Lanyan, give gifts, of course I have to give them something special, something that no one else can give." He Lanyan said proudly: "Those things that can be bought are so precious. Sun Xiao is an old friend. When an old friend gets married, I will naturally It’s about doing your best.”
"What good things can be found in this world of ice and snow?" Gao Yuan looked at her strangely.
"You are not from the grassland, so of course you don't know." He Lanyan smiled proudly, looked back at Su La who had just rushed to her side and said, "Take it out."
Sulla proudly took out a ball of fiery red from the horse's back pocket.
"Do you know what this is?" He Lanyan tilted her head and looked at Gao Yuan proudly.
"It looks like a red fox." Gao Yuan said.
"It's called the Fire Fox, and it's the hardest little thing to catch on the grassland. It's as fast as lightning, extremely cunning, and its number is rare. It's difficult to catch it when supply and demand are equal. It's only possible in this world of ice and snow. I found his traces. I heard from the patrolling sentry that I had seen this guy, so I wanted to catch him as a gift to Sun Xiao. In order to catch him, I took Sura and the others out for more than ten days. , God finally paid off, this guy finally fell into my trap and was caught by me. Gao Yuan, the fur of this fire fox is extremely precious. Even if you are as valuable as a prince in the Central Plains country, I am afraid not many people have it. . This gift is worth it!”
"It's so good." Gao Yuan shook his head, "It's just that if you do this, you will make it difficult for others to behave. If you give this fire fox as a gift, what should you give me? I think unless I go hunting for one too Only the firefox is coming."
He Lanyan smiled, took the fire fox from Sula's hand, shook her hands and threw it to Gao Yuan, "Here you go, let you use it as a gift."
"Give it to me?" Gao Yuan was surprised, "Why?"
"Whatever you want, whatever I have, I can give it to you!" He Lanyan said without hesitation, "You are his boss and the boss of Jishi City. It is just right for you to give this fire fox, and others will not compare with you, right? "
He Lanyan said it naturally, but Gao Yuan's heart trembled. He was silent for a moment and said, "You gave me the fire fox. What did you give me? Didn't you say you wanted to give something that others don't have?"
"Let's think about it when we go back!" He Lanyan shook her head, her pigtails flying, and Gaoyuan was dazzled for a while.
The two of them walked slowly side by side. Behind them, the guards naturally opened a distance and followed the two of them not too far or too close. He Lanyan smiled and talked to Gao Yuan about the recent events in Jishi City, her tone was natural, and she was completely unaware of what she had just said. The meaning of the sentence that was uttered.
Whatever you want, whatever I have, I can give it to you. This requires a deep affection for Gao Yuan to say it without thinking, and after saying it, you still don't realize it.
It's just that since that night two years ago when she and Gao Yuan hugged each other in the snow, He Lanyan never told Gao Yuan that she liked him again. This affection was deeply suppressed in her heart.
Looking at He Lanyan's radiant smile from the side, Gao Yuan felt a little distressed in his heart. She was older than Ye Jing'er and only one year younger than him. She was already twenty-one years old. In this era, she was already considered an older woman. Young. Because of his relationship, no one would covet He Lanyan, but she was actually delayed by him.
Gao Yuan suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt.
When he returned to the General's Mansion in Jishi City, Gao Yuan's depressed mood was still not relieved, even though He Lanyan separated from him after entering the city.
Jiang Jiaquan looked at the fire fox in Gao Yuan's hand, was surprised for a moment, and said: "Some time ago, Coach Helan said that he was going to capture this guy. I didn't expect you, general, to catch one. You really did it deliberately, but you didn't do it unintentionally." The willow trees are full of shade!”
"What a coincidence. She originally caught this and said it was going to be given to Sun Xiao as a wedding gift. I said it casually and she threw it to me." Gao Yuan shook his head and said.
Jiang Jiaquan chuckled and said, "Instructor Helan is so generous. This fire fox is extremely precious and hard to get. To catch it, you need not only patience, skill, but also luck. General Gao, Instructor Helan treats you very seriously." What a difference!”
"Chang Shi, don't make fun of me!" Gao Yuan let out a long breath.
Jiang Jiaquan shook his head, "General, have you really not considered Coach Helan, or do you think you don't like her at all?"
"I already have Jing'er!" Gao Yuan said.
"So it's not that the general doesn't have a good impression of Coach Helan, nor does he dislike her, but it's just because of his wife?" Jiang Jiaquan asked.
"Chang Shi, when did you start acting like a talkative woman?" Gao Yuan glanced at him dissatisfied.
"General, it is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I know that you and your wife have a deep relationship, but have you ever thought about it. If you really take over Helan as the coach, it will be of great benefit to both public and private interests." .”
Before Gao Yuan could speak, Jiang Jiaquan had already continued: "Privately, Coach Helan has a deep love for you, General. Over the years, many people have known about you. I am afraid that I have only hidden it from my wife. I dare not intercede more than Jin Jian." , but this kind of deep affection is extremely rare, and as far as I know, the general does not have no feelings for Coach Helan, it was just when they met before they were married. You yourself feel that if this is the case, you will be sorry for your wife, so you force yourself. Suppressing your own feelings, this is actually a kind of pain for you and Coach Helan. As for Mr. Yu, this is related to the special identity of Coach Helan. Let’s not talk about anything else. Coach Helan Yu The Eastern Conquest Army actually had great achievements. Most of the cavalrymen of the Eastern Conquest Army can be counted as her disciples. This can be seen from the fact that everyone calls her their instructor. Secondly, the general wants to win over the Huns. If he can marry a noble person, Xiongnu women, this can be done with half the effort. Those Huns' recognition of you, general, will inevitably increase significantly. Thirdly, there is also the relationship between He Lanxiong. He Lanxiong is a general in the army, but he is also a Huns. The prestige among the Huns now is not comparable to that of He Lianbo. Although we have made some arrangements, it will take time for them to take effect. If the general can achieve good things with He Lanyan, this is also a kind of win-win."
Gao Yuan stared at Jiang Jiaquan dumbfounded, and then said after a long while: "According to what you said, after we conquer Donghu, in order to win over those Donghu people, should I not marry a Donghu woman?"
"If you can, of course it's better!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed. Seeing that Gao Yuan's color had changed, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Just kidding, General, the reason why I say that is because you and Coach Helan have a romantic relationship. , I don’t think even Madam would object to this matter, which is both public and private?” ..
