Chapter 798: Sunrise in the East (23)
In Dayan County, Gao Yuan saw He Lanyan who had returned from the front line. He Lanyan, who had always been high-spirited before, was lying on the bed, looking at Gao Yuan with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.
"You can still laugh!" Gao Yuan walked to the bed angrily, sat down, stretched out his hand to grab He Lanyan's nose, and shook it hard. "You have a big belly, and you actually went to the battlefield. Tell me, On the battlefield, are the soldiers going to kill the enemy, or are they going to take care of you?"
"Why do I need other people to take care of me?" He Lanyan snorted: "So what if I have a big belly? In that battle, I chopped off the heads of many Donghu people."
"Yes, you are prosperous, but my son is suffering!" Gao Yuan put his hand on He Lanyan's abdomen and touched it gently, "Is it okay to lie on the bed now?"
He Lanyan suddenly had a bitter look on her face, "I wanted to get up and take a walk, but that old man Qiu Debao refused to allow it, and even frightened the two girls Suraula, which made the two girls come up and press me when they saw my intention to get up. Stop me, I'm crying and screaming, I can only lie here."
Gao Yuan snorted, "You should listen to him honestly. I asked Qiu Debao. Your body has improved a lot now, but it is still not suitable for strenuous exercise, and don't even think about riding a horse. I It has been arranged. With Qiu Debao accompanying you, you will return to Jishi City immediately. After all, the conditions there are much better than here."
"I won't go back!" He Lanyan said: "I still want to see you destroy Donghu. I don't ride horses or fight, so why not just follow and watch?"
"No, there is no need to discuss this matter. The itinerary has been arranged, and the Helan Mansion in Jishi City has also been sorted out." Gao Yuan said with a straight face.
"What's so mean?" He Lanyan pursed her lips and glanced at Gao Yuan's stern face, still feeling a little guilty. It seems that this time, Gao Yuan was indeed annoyed.
"Captain, Governor!" He Weiyuan's voice sounded outside
"Wei Yuan. Come in!" Gao Yuan stood up and shouted
He Weiyuan pushed the door open and entered. He was holding a document in his hand, but his face was full of anxiety.
"What happened?" Gao Yuan reached out to take the scroll, looked at He Weiyuan, and asked
He Weiyuan glanced at He Lanyan, who was sitting on the bed. Without a word, Gao Yuan glanced at him strangely and opened the envelope in his hand.
This is a message from the Zhengdong Mansion in Jishi City regarding the war situation of the Eastern Group Army and the opinions of the Council. The order has been issued, and now Gao Yuan is needed to endorse it.
"I know!" Gao Yuan waved his hand.
"Go down!"
"Captain, the messenger from Jishi City is still waiting below!" He Weiyuan said
"No rush, let him rest first, it's no big deal." He smiled and said, "By the way, didn't Kumamoto accompany Zhou Yuan to Dayan City some time ago? You sent someone to pick up Zhou Yuan and Kumamoto. come to me"
"Yes, Governor!"
Gao Yuan turned around and walked to He Lanyan's bedside, sat down, lowered his head in thought. He Banyan blinked and looked at Gao Yuan, "What happened? I see that He Weiyuan's words are flashing. Is there something that I can't know?"
"There's nothing you can't know," Gao Yuan smiled. "He is doing it for your own good. The Eastern Army has encountered a little trouble."
"What happened to my brother?" He Lanyan straightened up.
"Lie down!" Gao Yuan yelled: "Brother Helan has experienced hundreds of battles and experienced many storms. He survived all the hardships back then. What does it matter now?"
He Lanyan leaned back on the cushions and looked at Gao Yuan suspiciously, "Tell me, what happened to my brother? He suffered a big defeat. How is this possible?"
"The Eastern Group Army is mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to send troops to respond to the Hetao. However, the Donghu people are still fighting in a corner and have gathered tens of thousands of cavalry. The raid on the Liaoning Guard has caused the Eastern Group Army to suffer relatively heavy losses." Gao Yuan said carefully and authentically.
"My brother is guarding the Liaoning Guard. Even if he is short of manpower, he will not encounter much danger!" He Lanyan asked puzzledly: "How can we defend against the city while the Donghu people attack the city?"
"Things are not like this. The main reason is that Ye Feng was guarding the entrance to Jiepu. He suddenly encountered a surprise attack and was surrounded at the entrance of Jiepu. In order to save Ye Feng, the Helan brothers only led five thousand cavalry to attack. As a result, although they rescued Ye Feng, but their way back was also cut off and they had to break through to Donghu territory. Now they have penetrated deep into Donghu territory and lost contact for a while," Gao Yuandao said
"How could this happen?" He Lanyan opened his mouth, "Going deep into the territory of Donghu, wouldn't it be possible to be attacked from all sides? His five thousand cavalrymen fought against tens of thousands of cavalrymen, and the losses would be very serious."
"Maybe half of it was lost," Gao Yuan estimated.
He Lanyan's face slightly lost color
"Don't worry too much. The Helan brothers only had a few hundred cavalry back then, and they were not living well. What's more, Donghu is no longer the Donghu of that time. He has too much time to take care of himself. What can be done to him? The Assembly Hall has already dispatched Bai Yucheng's special brigade. , sneaked into the territory of Donghu, joined the Helan Brothers Council, and also mobilized a large army, and was preparing to launch a large-scale attack from Liaoning Guard. As long as your brother survives this most difficult period, everything will be fine."
"How long is this period of time?" He Lanyan asked
Gao Yuan made a calculation in his mind and said: "It will take at most half a month to gather the headquarters of the Eastern Group Army, but it will take at least more than a month for Ye Chong's soldiers and horses mobilized by the Assembly Hall to enter the Liaoning Guard. Those recruited from Jishi County It will take longer for new recruits to come over."
"The Eastern Group Army has suffered heavy losses. Even if it is concentrated, it will not be able to launch a counterattack. In other words, my brother will need to support it for at least a month."
"Yes!" Gao Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, your brother is experienced. Even if he hides there and becomes a bandit, he can survive this period!"
He Lanyan smiled bitterly, "Why don't you worry? I'm just an older brother, and he hasn't even gotten married yet!"
"You're on to the point," Gao Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The little girl from the Wu family is very fond of your brother. Don't you also like her? I'll come after the Helan brothers come back this time." How about a bully forcing your brother to marry that little girl?"
Hearing what Gao Yuan said was interesting, He Lanyan couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, "If you really do this, wouldn't Governor Wu be mad? He is such a face-saving person."
"What do your brothers think of the little girl from the Wu family?" Gao Yuan asked curiously
"He just thinks that Xinlian is delicate and timid, and not as bold as us Huns women." He Lanyan laughed, "But that girl Xinlian is really hardworking. She practices horse riding, archery, and runs wherever she wants." My brother went"
"That's good. After this battle is over, I will be a great matchmaker and go to Wu Junshou's house to propose marriage for your brother." Gao Yuan gently stroked He Lanyan's hair, "After something like this happened, you have to do more. I went back to Jishi City. There are many Huns in Jishi County, and your brother is their leader. If something happens to him, the Huns in Jishi County are afraid that their hearts will be unstable. After you go back, you can calm down their hearts. You, the hearts of those people will be settled."
"Well, I'll go back and wait for news about my brother over there. It will be faster." He Lanyan nodded.
"I told you, nothing will happen to Brother Helan." Gao Yuan stood up with a smile, "There are strong winds and waves, how can the boat capsize in the gutter? Now I'm afraid that your brother has turned the guy upside down." I know my temper. If I suffer a loss from Yu Wenke this time, I will definitely make up for it with double efforts."
"I believe you. Oh, by the way, Gao Yuan, why did Ning Xin come with you when you came to the Hetao this time? I think she is just interested in you, right?" He Lanyan suddenly brought up another topic.
"What do you mean?" Gao Yuan felt a little guilty. A stunning beauty like Ning Xin stayed with him day and night. It was really a lie to say that he didn't have that moment of excitement. Plus, Ye Jing'er spared no effort. She was trying to sell her, and before she knew it, her mentality changed.
"The way she looks at you is wrong!" He Lanyan frowned, "It's that kind of look, you can't hide it from me."
Gao Yuan coughed a few times, "Last time in the Hetao, the fish that Ning Xin raised are now strong. Now is the time when he needs to stir up some trouble, so Ning Xin must come. This is the moment of decisive battle against Donghu. All the fish that can be used can be used." We all need to use our power."
"No matter how I look at you, you seem to be acting for personal gain!" He Lanyan chuckled, "This Ning Xin is really good at drinking. She seems to be a reserved woman, but when she becomes so crazy, I don't dare to drink with her anymore. "
Gao Yuan said in his heart, that's not called restrained, that's called boring, but he would never say this to He Lanyan.
Just as she was thinking about it, He Lanyan said thoughtfully: "But looking at the bold way she drinks, she should be an easy person to deal with. Marrying you is not bad, but why doesn't Ye Jing'er drink her wine at all?" As for jealousy, every time you take her out, you don’t stop her. It’s really weird.”
Listening to He Lanyan talking to herself, Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly changed the topic.
"You can set off tomorrow. There is no need to rush along the way. Everything is about your safety. With Qiu Debao following you, it should be safe and sound. When you get to Jishi County, Mrs. Wu and the others will often come to accompany you, and you won't either. Will be lonely"
"It's not about my safety, but about your son's safety!" He Lanyan said dissatisfiedly
"All important, all important!" Gao Yuan said quickly (to be continued)
