Chapter 556: Backhand

This information provided by Zhou Yuan cannot be ignored. Although the Donghu cavalry are unparalleled in the world, they have a fatal weakness. Although they are rich in mineral resources, they lack the technology to smelt steel. Their combat weapons mainly include scimitars, bows and arrows. Compared with the various weapons with different functions in the Central Plains countries, they are simply not worth mentioning. For many years, the Central Plains countries have also treated these barbarians with the attitude that they must be different if they are not from our tribe. These technologies have always been for Donghu blocked it, and once Qi State joined forces with Donghu, through Qi State, the Donghu people would be able to obtain the technologies they dreamed of, thus achieving a qualitative leap in the military industry. Thinking of Donghu's large purchase of farm tools, Gao Yuan seemed to see a brand new Donghu rising slowly in front of him.

The craftsmen of Qi State can improve the technical level of Donghu people, and the presence of Qi soldiers in Donghu is even more worthy of vigilance. The Donghu people dominate the world with cavalry, and infantry has always been dispensable. In the Donghu army system, infantry is more responsible for logistics tasks and is rarely sent to fight on the frontal battlefield. However, like other countries in the Central Plains, because of the cavalry It is not easy to form, and more of them have developed a cooperative combat mode of infantry and cavalry. When the Qi people appear in Donghu, they will have nothing else to do. They must assist the Donghu people in training their infantry. Once Donghu's infantry also If a strong combat effectiveness is formed, Donghu's military strength will inevitably reach a new level.

"Qi Guo?" Gao Yuan snorted, feeling extremely angry. Qi Guo's intervention in Donghu was like hitting him on the head with a big stick.

"In Ye Tiannan's time, relying on the support of Qi State, he brought Ji Ling back to Yan State to ascend the throne of Yan King. Qi State Tian Danman thought he could get huge benefits from Yan State. Who knew that after Ye Tiannan came to power, he immediately fell out with Qi State. Not only were the previous promises broken, but Qi's plan to marry the princess as Queen Yan was also ruined. How could Qi not be angry this time? Taking advantage of the situation and helping Donghu become stronger, they can contain the effective forces of Yan State, and then they can send troops to the north to bite Yan State hard." Zhou Yuan said slowly: "Perhaps Qi State is sending troops now? If Zhou Yutanfeng fails to deal with it, he will lose his troops and his generals, as well as his territory and city. "

Qi may take advantage of Yan's current weakness to launch a war. Seizing part of the land of Yan State is not within the scope of Gao Yuan's consideration. It is something that the Yan State court should consider. What he needs to face is the real threat of Donghu.

"They are walking by water!" Gao Yuan suddenly said.

"Of course it's a waterway." Zhou Yuan said: "How is it possible to go from the land to Donghu and pass through our Yan State? From Qi State to Liaodong by water, if the wind is favorable, the trip will only take more than ten days."

"The Qi people's assistance to Donghu will not end in a short time, and the Donghu people have received assistance from Qi. Perhaps they have paid a high price. If the Yan State sends troops to intercept at sea, it can cut off the connection between them. Goulian." Gao Yuan looked at Zhou Yuan and said.

"It's easy to say. But it's difficult to do!" Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "We, Dayan, have always regarded Donghu as our biggest enemy.

Militarily, the Donghu people were the main opponents. They had no navy at all, and Qi State had no navy at all. But there is a powerful naval force. Among all countries, only Chu State can compare with it. "

Gao Yuan bared his teeth and smiled. In this era, the so-called navy, that is, ships with soldiers on board, fight each other. It is still limited to the most primitive fighting. Two ships are close to each other, and then the soldiers jump on the other side's ship and fight until one side is cut down. It is a pity that I have such a problem that I don't have an outlet to the sea at all, otherwise I can build a real navy. Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but move.

Maybe we can start some things earlier.

"The Taiwei's hometown is in Fenzhou. After returning home this time, will he continue to live in Jicheng, or are he going to go back to his hometown?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

Zhou Yuan smiled to himself, "If possible, I naturally want to go back to Fenzhou. Is it possible to stay in Jicheng and make people laugh? But this must be done alive, right? Didn't you just say that someone Don’t you want me to go back?”

"Of course, if you go back alive, it will definitely be extremely difficult for some people. However, in Western Liaoning, I can guarantee the safety of the Taiwei. Of course, there is nothing I can do outside of Western Liaoning." Gao Yuan said.

"After leaving Liaoxi, they won't take action." Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, "Maybe I can act smarter."

"Lieutenant is really a smart man. If you express your attitude earlier, you might be able to spend the rest of your life peacefully." Gao Yuan clasped his palms together and laughed. "If the Taiwei can really return to Fenzhou safely to retire, we may still interact with each other at some point in the future."

"Gao Yuan, you take this for granted. Even if I return to Fenzhou, I will not support you, let alone help you." Zhou Yuan shook his head.

"What I said has nothing to do with politics, maybe it's just some business matters." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Business?" Zhou Yuan was a little confused. He looked at Gao Yuan for a while, then suddenly remembered the geographical location of Fenzhou, and Huo Di stood up, "Qi State Navy?"

Gao Yuan smiled and nodded. Zhou Yuan was indeed an old fox. He had just raised his head, and he immediately understood the meaning. Fenzhou is close to the sea. People on the seaside naturally rely on the sea to make a living, and boats are indispensable.

"Let's talk about it then. I don't think the Taiwei will reject this matter. After all, this is also a very beneficial thing for Dayan. The Qi State wants to bite the Yan people, maybe I can help the Yan State bite back They took one bite." Gao Yuan said.

"What good does this do to you?" Zhou Yuan asked, staring at Gao Yuan.

"Lieutenant, are you confused? Qi's help to Donghu is naturally my enemy. Attacking Qi's navy can weaken Donghu and get more help from Qi. This is beneficial to both Yan and me. Lieutenant, you don't need to think too much about it." Gao Yuan stood up with a smile, "Lieutenant, you might as well think about it and don't rush to reply. Let's wait until you can return to Fenzhou."

Zhou Yuan nodded silently, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave now."

"Lieutenant, please rest early. Regarding your safety in western Liaoning, Cao Tianci will report our overall plan to you tomorrow. I hope you can support it." Gao Yuan smiled and said goodbye.

Not long after Zhou Yuan left, Meng Chong appeared quietly in front of Gao Yuan.

"How about it?"

"Captain, the general sent someone to contact those soldiers. As expected by the commander, these people are unwilling to go back in shame. They want to stay and hope that the commander will give them a chance."

"Approximately how many people?"

"I contacted a few captain officers. According to them, there are no less than 500 people." Meng Chong said.

"So many people?" Gao Yuan was a little surprised, "There are too many people, which is a bit difficult to handle."

"What can't be done, Governor!" Meng Chong said with a smile: "Everyone reports that one person died of a sudden illness, so what if they know that there is a ghost among them? How dare they dare to be serious with us? They are not afraid of annoying us, five thousand people together Deduct it? What’s more, they have to think about the future? It’s just one tenth of five hundred people, and they won’t challenge us just for one tenth of them.”

Gao Yuan smiled and nodded: "You're right, but I was a little too careful. Did you bring all the leaders?"

"I brought it, they're all waiting outside the house!"

"Let them come in!" Gao Yuan said: "As long as they are determined to kill the enemy, I will not hesitate to give them this opportunity."

Meng Chong retreated, and a moment later, he walked in with three Yan Army officers wearing school captain uniforms. As soon as the three of them entered the room, without saying a word, they immediately knelt down and said loudly: "General, please give me a chance to kill the enemy."

Gao Yuan glanced at them, and among them was the rather burly man he had seen during the day. Looking at that body, if he kept it up for a few months, he would never lose to that guy with a tiger head.

"You should think clearly. It's not impossible to stay, but you won't be able to go back home in a short period of time. Your family will even get the news that you are dead. There's no telling when you can go back. ." Gao Yuan said calmly.

"General, you guys have thought it over clearly. Instead of going back in disgrace like this and letting people laugh at you, it's better to die. If you die outside, your family can still hold their heads up. If you go back like this, your family will lose their heads." I can’t lift it up. I am willing to stay in western Liaoning and fight against the Donghu people. I will not return home until I destroy the Donghu people!”

"So does the villain!"

"So does the villain!"

The other two big men also raised their heads and said loudly.

Gao Yuan laughed, walked down, and helped the three of them up with his own hands, "Okay, since you are so determined, I will help you and let you stay to kill the enemy. Come on, get up, and tell me your names first."

"The villain Zhu Tong."

"Villain Yang Fugui!"

"The villain Liu Yefei!"

Meng Chong said on the side: "Captain, these three people were originally under the command of General Kumamoto. In the battle to conquer the east, they were part of the vanguard army. This army suffered heavy losses. The three of them were originally part of the vanguard army. Colonel officers, but there are only ten of them in the army. Like this time, a large part of the people who are willing to stay are people in this army. "

"General Kumamoto is unwilling to be repatriated, but is willing to stay in Donghu and share the joys and sorrows with the remaining soldiers. He is a good man and a good officer. The officers brought out by such a person are really different." Gao Yuan nodded and praised Kumamoto. , "I heard that you contacted more than 500 people?"

"Yes." Zhu Tong nodded and said: "In addition to the three of our old subordinates, there are also some people from other brother troops who are willing to stay. There are more than 500 people in total."

"Meng Chong, go make arrangements and let me keep all these five hundred people. Zhu Tong, I won't disperse these five hundred people. You will lead them, and Yang Fugui and Liu Yefei will assist you. Neither will I To tell you the truth, the war between our Dongfeng Army and Donghu is about to break out. If you want to take revenge, it depends on your own performance. As long as you are willing to fight, there will be plenty of battles to fight." Gao Yuan said loudly: "Perhaps, you will still be able to return home in glory in the future. day.”

"Thank you, General Gao!" The three of them were overjoyed. They never expected such a result. This was much better than they expected. (To be continued...)
