Chapter 878: The Magnificent Power of Han (3)
A day later, Ye Zhen once again saw Princess Shuyu, Princess of Yan. Compared with the crazy and frightened woman yesterday, Princess Shuyu today seemed to be a different person, dressed in fine clothes, quietly Wherever he was sitting, except that his face was still a little haggard, a graceful and luxurious aura came to his face.
It seems that the ladies Kong Fang found yesterday have lived up to their trust and succeeded in making this noble princess understand her current situation.
"Ye Zhen, a subordinate of Zhengdong Mansion, comes to see Princess Shuyu!" Ye Zhen strode forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Princess Shuyu.
"General Ye, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Princess Shuyu's voice was still a little hoarse.
"Thank you, princess!" Ye Zhen stood up and looked at the woman in front of him with a smile. Princess Shuyu is indeed very good-looking. Even though she has been tortured for a period of time, her natural beauty is still difficult to cover up.
"I thought you would call me Princess Yan," Princess Shuyu said quietly, "Ji Ling, where is he now?"
Ye Zhen said in a deep voice: "On the day Tian Dan broke the city, King Yan led some of his soldiers and ministers to break out of the siege. Well, maybe Tian Dan deliberately let him live. Now he is in Wei State's Qu fertile"
Hearing Tian Dan's name, a look of anger suddenly appeared on Princess Shuyu's face, but the anger also flashed away. "You will kill him, right?"
Ye Zhen leaned slightly and said, "Princess, this is not something I can interfere with."
"That is to say, even if he is surrounded by you now, you will not kill him." She seemed disappointed and sighed softly.
"Although Tian Dan is trapped, he still has tens of thousands of Qi soldiers under his command. The cold weather is not conducive to fighting. If Tian Dan is willing to surrender, I think the governor will not kill him. Of course, this is just me It's just a guess," said Ye Zhendao
"With your identity, such speculation will probably be the final outcome. Also, how can you kill a person like Tian Dan who is a rare commodity?" Shuyu said quietly: "You will not let Ji Ling." You're back, right?"
"If King Yan is willing to come back, he can certainly come back," Ye Zhen said with a smile.
After staring at Ye Zhen for a long time, Princess Shuyu slowly shook her head, "How dare he come back?" She raised her head and stared at the high dome above her head. "It seems it's time for me to leave here, General Ye Zhen, will you let me go?"
"The princess is always free. Wherever the princess wants to go, our Eastern Expedition Army will be responsible for escorting you to your destination." Ye Zhen said with certainty, "I wonder if the princess wants to go to Quwo or somewhere else?"
"Quwo?" Princess Shuyu laughed,
"He has abandoned me. At the moment when the city was broken, he should have had time to take me away, but he did not. I will not go to Quwo. I want to go home to Yingcheng. General Ye, you can escort me Going somewhere?"
"Of course," Ye Zhen said, "I said it before. No matter where the princess goes, our Eastern Expedition Army will be responsible for sending the princess to her destination."
Princess Shuyu stood up and bowed to Ye Zhen, "Thank you very much. Please also ask General Ye to make arrangements early so that I can return to my hometown. I miss the warmth of spring in the south."
"The princess will get her wish"
When leaving the palace, Ye Zhen was in a very happy mood. Before the governor arrived in Jicheng, he solved another trouble. At the same time, it is possible to gain a friendship from Chu State. Chu State is a major country in the world. The area is vast and there are many people. It has unlimited war potential. If it can get on the line with the Chu State and form an alliance, Zhengdong Mansion will be able to get a powerful helping hand in the subsequent war against Qin.
While Ye Zhen was systematically launching an operation to replace the Ji family dynasty with Gao Yuan in Jicheng, in western Liaoning, the Qi army, which had been surrounded for a month, finally surrendered to the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
In accordance with the requirements of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the surrender of the Qi Army was divided into different areas in different chronological order. The Qi Army who put down their weapons and walked out of the defensive position were immediately escorted away. Tens of thousands of Qi Army were Divided into dozens of prisoner-of-war teams, each of them had no idea where they were going.
For Qi Jun at this time, it is not a problem where to go. As long as he can save his life and have a full meal, it is enough.
At the camp of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Gao Yuan took his generals out of the camp in person, went to greet Tian Dan, and gave the Prime Minister of Qi the highest courtesy. This was his big benefactor, and Gao Yuan still expected He is relying on this world-famous Prime Minister of Qi to make up for the large financial gap caused by this long-term war!
Looking at the young governor of Zhengdong Prefecture in front of him, who completely defeated his opponent, Tian Dan clasped his fists with his hands, "I admire him so much that Tian is convinced that he lost."
"Xiang Tian can pick it up and put it down. Mr. Gao also admires it. Please, Mr. Gao set up some wine in the camp to entertain Xiang Tian!" Gao Yuan extended his hand to give way.
Gao Yuan was actually full of admiration for this defeated general. This man had endured for many years and planned secretly. It could be said that he deceived the people on the entire continent. However, with the right timing, he defeated his old enemy Yan State to the death with one blow. If If it weren’t for his sudden rise and opening up a new world on the border of Yan State, this Yan State would really belong to Qi State.
Although he is a defeated general, Tian Dan is still graceful and generous. If an outsider who doesn't know the inside story comes here at this time, he would not think that Tian Dan is actually a prisoner. He is like an old friend of Gao Yuan.
"Captain Gao, let me toast you." Tian Dan raised the glass in his hand, "I think it won't be long before you enter Jicheng and become the king. You will single-handedly create a new dynasty. It's rare in history. I'm not as good as you." "
Gao Yuan laughed, but he looked around and said, "Xiang Tian is a great man in the world. It's rare for us to get together. Today I would like to ask Mr. Tian about the general trend of the world. What do you think? Mr. Tian, would you like to give me some advice?"
Tian Dan put down the wine glass in his hand, "Actually, Governor Gao has already made up his mind. The so-called heroes have similar opinions. Otherwise, why would Governor Gao have been thinking about destroying Dong Hu all these years? And what about me? , they can only set their sights on the weaker Yan State, but their thoughts are the same as those of Governor Gao."
Gao Yuan nodded, "Both of us are eager to enhance our own strength to guard against that super powerful enemy in the future."
"Yes, a powerful enemy, the Qin Dynasty!" Tian Dan said: "Of the seven great powers in the world, Qin, Chu, and Zhao should be classified in the first category. They have vast territory, large numbers of people, and powerful armies, but we are the largest. Qi should be in the second gear. As for Han, Wei, and Yan, they can only sit with them. Of course, now there is no Korea, and Wei is also beaten to death, and Da Qi, my defeat, the country When two sons compete, they will not be far from decline."
At this point, Tian Dan showed a lonely look on his face: "Man is not as good as God, and time is also the same. Now that we are in this situation, I have nothing to complain about." He picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck and drank it all. "But if I don't plan and try to increase my strength, when the Qin people come, what can I do to stop Da Qi?"
He looked at Gao Yuan and said, "I originally thought that even if you win this battle with Donghu, your vitality will be severely damaged. I took advantage of the situation and made a profit. Not only did I get the land of Yan Kingdom, but I also took the land that you, Gao Yuan, have worked so hard for these ten years." After coming down, we can occupy this vast territory without any effort. If this plan succeeds, then our control area of Da Qi will far exceed that of Qi State. By then, both the war potential and the strategic room for maneuver will be huge. A lot, and it will take time for Qin to come over. I have enough time to strengthen myself, but now, everything is in vain."
Gao Yuan turned the wine glass in his hand, "What does Prime Minister Tian think of Qin, Zhao and Chu?"
"The Qin people will definitely win," Tian Dan said without hesitation: "The Zhao State has been fighting the Qin people for many years. In the past, Zhao Mu and others could maintain a balance of power, but the loss of national power was heavy. Zhao State had to use the strength of the whole country to defeat the Qin people." , are dealing with an army of Qin State, and..." He looked at Gao Yuan with a half-smile, "Zhao State has fallen to the current situation, and it is indispensable for you, Governor Gao, to fuel the flames. Governor Gao plotted against Daijun. , it can be said that no effort was spared. The civil war between Zhao and Zhao lasted for more than a year, and the national strength was even more severely damaged. Zhao Mu, a famous general, died in an unknown manner, and Zilan, a famous prime minister, will still praise you, Gao Dudu, for your righteousness until your death. Yuntian! It’s ridiculous!”
Tian Dan turned his eyes and looked inside the tent. All the Zhengdong Mansion generals had angry expressions on their faces. He changed the topic with a smile, "There is no need to talk more about the State of Zhao. At the end of the powerful crossbow, we can compete with the State of Qin." After some competition, it now seems that Chu is the only country. Chu has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population. If the Qin people want to win the Chu country, they must use all the strength of the country. Therefore, over the years, the Qin people have been desperately attacking. When other countries were in power, they were more tolerant to the Chu people, used various means to win over the Chu people, and maintained a general peace between the two countries. However, when the Qin people destroyed other countries, it would be Chu's turn in the end. "
"Chu is not stupid either. Why do you just watch all this happen and don't think about changing it?" Gao Yuan asked
"It's not that the people of Chu don't want to change, but that change takes time. The people of Chu have been comfortable for too long. It doesn't take a day to freeze three feet. They have to deal with the great king of Chu Huai, and that's it."
Gao Yuan nodded. It seemed that Chu State was indeed changing. This time Qu Wan led his troops to capture Linyi. I'm afraid it was the first step in their change.
"But now the situation is different. Because of your high rise, the Qin people's plan to unify the world will have to add a lot of variables. But in my opinion, now your Zhengdong Mansion is still at an absolute disadvantage." What is beneficial to the governor is that there is a Zhao State between you and the Qin people. If the Qin people want to deal with you, they must first destroy the Zhao State. Therefore, the longer the Zhao State exists, the more beneficial it will be to you. Ah!" Tian Dan raised his glass to Gao Yuan (to be continued)
