Chapter 1104: East Becomes West (97)

In the south in October, it is already a cool breeze, autumn is coming, a lonely lamp, a few dishes, reflecting two faces that have gone through vicissitudes, a pot of old wine, but it is inexhaustible to pour the bitterness in the heart.

"Tan Feng, how did we get to this point?" Zhou Yu raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, and slammed the cup on the table, "What about our original ambitions?" Where are all our big swallows?" He glared at the red eyes, "You even killed the king."

Tan Feng slowly picked up the wine glass, slowly swallowed the cup bit by bit, carefully savoring the spicy wine flowing down his throat. Brother Zhou, did you come all the way to me just to question me about this?"

Zhou Yu covered his face with his hands and lay on the table, "I'm unwilling, unwilling."

"What's unwilling." Tan Feng lifted the wine jug and filled the cup for Zhou Yu, "The spirits produced in this Qin land are more than one grade worse than Wu's wine, and I couldn't swallow it at first, but after drinking it, I got used to it."

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Yu raised his head.

"Brother Zhou, do you think it is possible to realize our original ambition of Fuyan?" Tan Feng asked.

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly, "It's impossible, it's impossible, the lofty momentum has been achieved, and we don't even have any hope at all."

"Yes, since there is no hope left, what else do you want Ji Ling to do? If we can exchange him for King Qin's trust in us, then why can't we kill him?"

"Is it just to exchange for the trust of the King of Qin, in order to have the current power in the Qin State?" Zhou Yu asked in a hoarse voice: "But don't you know that your killing will nail us alive to the pillar of shame in history."

"Of course, it's not just for this, what I want most is to defeat Gao Yuan and send the Han Kingdom he established single-handedly to the eighteenth layer of hell." Tan Feng's face slowly flushed, "Ji Ling is useless, the only thing he can do for us is to use his life to help us get our current status. If he doesn't die, will King Qin Wulie let us sit in our current position before he dies?"

Zhou Yu stared at Tan Feng, "Are you jealous of him?"

This he, of course, is lofty.

Tan Feng smiled, "Yes, it's jealousy, when I first met Gao Yuan, he was still a hillbilly who didn't know anything, but at that time, I really admired him, so I became friends with him, so during the Battle of Yuyang, I spared no effort to help him, and when Taiwei Zhou wanted to kill him with a knife, I pulled him back from the edge of the cliff."

"But then the fire in Jicheng, you didn't help him."

A hint of pain flashed in Tan Feng's eyes, "At that time, it was not that I didn't want to help him, but I was trapped in Ning Mansion by Ning Zecheng."

"If you want to go, you can't go." Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "In the end, you still don't treat him as a brother who can intersect with life and death from the bottom of your heart. You have been looking down on him with a condescending attitude, when he showed super high ability in the Battle of Yuyang, when he was named the general of Zhengdong, and the position jumped above you, you began to be jealous of him, at that time, you subconsciously or also thought that it was better for him to die!"

"Maybe you're right, right? I've always thought I'm better than him. If he can do it, I will do it better than him." Tan Feng was silent for a long time, then nodded: "Or maybe I didn't realize it, but subconsciously, maybe I always wanted to compare him to him."

"But over the years, you've been defeated."

"And you!" Tan Feng said coldly: "Gao Yuan has reached a height that we can't reach step by step, and I'm afraid we won't be able to reach his current point in this life, so if you want to prove yourself, there is nothing better than destroying the dynasty he established with his own hands, right?" It's easier to destroy than to build."

Zhou Yu glared at Tan Feng, "You and that Lu Chao are really good all the way, Lu Chao shouted in his mouth that Gao Yuan is sorry for his father, sorry for his mother, sorry for the Lu family, in fact, in his heart, why is it because Gao Yuan has been his little follower since he was a child, and he has always looked down on him, and now Gao Yuan is much stronger than you, so your greatest wish is to defeat him and use his failure to reflect your success?"

"You're to the point." Tan Feng actually laughed, "But it's not just me and Lu Chao, Brother Zhou, you are with us. We are grasshoppers on a line, and the world has bound us together."

"One misstep becomes a lifelong hatred, and it has been a hundred years since I turned back!" Zhou Yu sighed, "Now we have no way out, except for helping the Qin State and Gao Yuan to compete for life and death on this continent, there is no second choice, history is written by the victor, we can only record our glorious name in the annals of history if we defeat him, otherwise, for thousands of generations, shame will accompany us, not only our own shame, but also humiliation of our ancestors."

"Brother Zhou is right, as long as we win, history will be written by us." Tan Feng clapped his hands and smiled. You didn't come here this time to scold me, did you?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course not, as you said, we are grasshoppers on the same line, although I am dissatisfied with you killing Ji Ling, but what can I do?" I came this time because of the peace agreement signed between Han and Qin!"

"The bullshit peace agreement, it's just that now Daqin can't move, he needs to recuperate, and the new king will also integrate domestic forces when he ascends the throne, and Gao Yuan swallowed so much territory in one go, there will only be more domestic problems than Daqin, not less, both sides need time to integrate and digest, whoever completes this step first will tear up this agreement first."

"I'm not talking about this, but the content of the agreement, you know Gao Yuan better than me, this person will never do things without purpose, for example, he asked us to launch an attack on the Chu State, doesn't he understand that now we will never be able to fight against the Chu State? Could it be that you believe it just by virtue of Li Ru's fluttering promise?"

"Neither side is allowed to send troops to the Zhao State? This is even more of a joke, now Zhao Qi's control of half of the Zhao country has become an important area for our Great Qin to resist the invasion of the Han State, and with Zhao Qi's current strength, how to resist the wolf-like Han army, Lu Chao will inevitably send people in, and the great thing is to put on the clothes of the Zhao army. On the other side of the Zhao state, the Han people will inevitably do the same." Tan Feng said disapprerovingly. Gao Yuan's purpose is definitely not this, but from this paper agreement, I really haven't found any major flaws?"

"Is it the free trade? No taxes shall be levied on Han merchants for three years?" Zhou Yu frowned.

"Come to think of it, that's it, but this one is great because it makes Great Qin lose some taxes, and if the Han merchants stipulated in the agreement violate the laws of Qin, when the Qin people are judged, there must be Han Dynasty officials present, and these have nothing to do with the overall situation. So I can't guess through, I can't see through, I can only take one step at a time, and after a long time, it will naturally be clear what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd." Tan Feng Dao.

"I'm afraid that by the time we understand it, it'll be too late." Zhou Yu sighed and said: "Gao Yuan, this person, plan and then act, think long-term, very much within the reach of people."

"Brother Zhou, I think you have a phobia of this person, or nothing, both sides need a step to end this war, although this big battle Great Qin was defeated, but the Han State was not ready to fight with us before, and the losses were also great." Tan Feng smiled, "Maybe it's our worries."

"I hope so!" Zhou Yu nodded.

The closed door was pushed open with a creak, and Tan Feng's relatives strode in with Tan Kang, walked to Tan Feng's side, and whispered a few words in his ear, Tan Feng frowned, "Brother Zhou, Xianyang has a messenger, I'll go see you first."

Zhou Yu was also surprised, "You go, it's not good for me to show up. And don't let the messenger know that I'm here with you."

"This is natural." Tan Feng nodded, turned around and strode away, Tan Kang followed, and when he went out, he gently closed the door.

After about half an hour, Tan Feng pushed the door back in, Zhou Yu saw Tan Feng's expression was shocked and angry, his fists clenched, obviously something was wrong.

"What's wrong? What did the messenger say?" Zhou Yu asked.

"The Han army's attack on Kangping City of Chu has come to fruition!"

"Who wins and who loses?" Zhou Yu asked nervously.

"The Han army won a great victory, and the Chu army was crushed for thousands of miles, and it was only when it retreated to the vicinity of Daba Mountain that it regained its foothold." Tan Feng exhaled softly.

Zhou Yu shook his head slowly, "Originally, I didn't expect the Chu army to be able to defeat the Han army."

"What matters is not the defeat of the Chu army, but the way in which the Han army defeated the Chu army." Tan Feng sat opposite Zhou Yu, "Qu Zhong with Kangping City as the center, set up a chain defense we have studied before, there is indeed no flaw, but the Han army used the latest weapons, in one fell swoop collapsed the 100-meter-long city wall of Kangping City, according to intelligence, the sound of the day was like a huge thunder, smoke covered the sky, Kangping City not only the city was collapsed, as many as a thousand soldiers on the city were killed almost at the same time, and the city was panicked because of this weapon of the Han army at that time, and the Han army took the opportunity to attack the city."

Zhou Yu stood up with a bang, "What is it that can actually collapse a hundred meters of city walls like Kangping City in one fell swoop?"

"The Black Ice Platform is currently being spied on, but according to Zhong Li's speculation, this weapon has a great deal to do with the fireworks and firecrackers that have suddenly prevailed in the Han Kingdom since the beginning of this year." Tan Feng said: "The king urgently summoned me back to Xianyang. I'll have to leave with the messenger at once, so go back quickly!"

"It seems that the king wants to use your knowledge of Gao Yuan and the people you have lurked in the Han Kingdom to investigate this matter!"

"Most likely, the Black Ice Platform is struggling in the Han Kingdom now, and the part of the manpower I hid can come in handy this time." (To be continued......)
