The Niulanshan camp was large enough, and the five thousand returning Yan troops occupied a corner of the camp alone, and around them, were heavily armed and guarded soldiers of the Eastern Army, these Yan troops who had just returned from Donghu were extremely unstable and had to be guarded against. In addition to not allowing them to leave the camp without authorization, the supplies for these returning Yan troops were readily available, just as much.

"I didn't think you'd pick me up in person?" Zhou Yuan looked at Gao Yuan opposite and said with a wry smile. Returning to the Niulanshan camp and washing again, Zhou Yuan's somewhat decadent spirit was slightly invigorated, but the embarrassment and torment in his heart were not reduced by half, if he had a choice, he would rather ignore his arrival and ignore it. "I originally thought it would be Chun Yuyan coming."

Gao Yuan smiled, "Anyway, you were the captain of Yan Guo, and I am the general of Yan Guo's Zhengdong, not to talk about the relationship between superiors and subordinates, there is always the friendship of comrades." ”

Hearing the three words of the former lieutenant, Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed, "You don't hate me?" ”

"What do you say?" Gao Yuan smiled.

Zhou Yuan nodded, "This is the right reason, but Gao Yuan, I look down on you even more now, public is public, private is private, you can tell the difference." ”

"There's nothing bad about this, the Donghu people sent you back today, and they hit me Dayan in the face, and I should fight back."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, "Although I am detained in Donghu, I also know a lot of information about you, and you still think that you are the minister of Great Yan?" ”

"Why not!" Gao Yuan laughed: "I am also a Yan person. It's just that I'm a little strange, Captain Zhou, why do you keep calculating me? Whether it was in Jicheng in the past, or in the Eastern Expedition this time, why did you have to put me to death? ”

Zhou Yuan smiled, "General Gao, my purpose has always been to subdue Ye Tiannan in Jicheng. It's just to pull him down, and the battle of Donghu is not because I don't want Ye Tiannan to have a rich place like Langya County, and a general with military power like you outside, so dealing with you is just a matter of beating rabbits with grass, incidentally. But now it seems that I have put the cart before the horse, and Ye Tiannan is the biggest threat. You are. If I could turn back time, when I was in Yuyang County, I would definitely think of a way to get rid of you directly, instead of letting you sit up step by step. ”

He sighed, "Now it seems that the biggest threat to Yan Guo is not Donghu, but you, Gao Yuan, you don't need to cover up." There is no need to be clever to justify, there are some things that cannot be hidden from the discerning people, your goal has always been to subvert the Yan Dynasty, if the Donghu people are just some robbers who rob their homes. But you are the murderer who wants to cut out your heart. ”

"Taiwei Zhou has fallen into the field now, are you still thinking about these useless things?" Gao Yuan sneered, indeed, things have come to this point. In the eyes of Zhou Yuan and others, there is no need to hide it, and it can't be hidden. "I'm afraid Taiwei Zhou doesn't know much about the current pattern of Yan Kingdom, right?"

"Just about to ask for advice." Zhou Yuan nodded, "I'm in Donghu, they will only tell me what they want me to know, and I really don't know much about the current political situation in Dayan." ”

"Now Zhou Yu is serving as the lieutenant of Yan State, Tan Feng is serving as the imperial historian and commanding Yan Lingwei at the same time, and is doing his best to assist King Yan to recover the territory that was divided into nobles. Your territory, Dr. Ning's territory, has been divided into more than a dozen directly administered counties. Gao Yuan gloated and said, "Captain Zhou, you can be regarded as nothing." ”

"But still?" Zhou Yuan asked, "With such a big move, there is no opposition in China?" ”

"Against?" Gao Yuan laughed: "With the full cooperation of your proud disciple Zhou Yu, you control Yan's only remaining army, and those who dare to oppose it are now gone." Now only the area I control zhì and the powerful Yuyang County are left, and the other noble territories are no longer there, and Yuyang County is afraid that it will not last long. ”

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, "If this can make the Yan Kingdom strong, I have nothing to say, I hope they have done nothing wrong and will not cause the Yan Kingdom to fall into a place of no return." ”

"You're big-hearted." Gao Yuan smiled, "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip to Donghu, but Ning Zecheng is about to be sentenced by Yan Wang Ming, I don't know how Taiwei Zhou feels?" ”

Zhou Yuanhuo raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise, "Ning Zecheng?" Ming canonical punishment? Kill him? ”

"Of course!" Gao Yuan nodded and said, "It's been edicted to the world." ”

Zhou Yuan fell silent all of a sudden.

"Now you should know why I came to pick you up, and Chun Yuyan, who was supposed to be here, is missing?" Gao Yuan stared at Zhou Yuan and asked.

"They want to kill me too?"

"To be more precise, they don't want you to return to Jicheng alive." Gao Yuandao: "You are different from Ning Zecheng, you have a lot of influence in the army, and there are many protégés in the army, which Ning Zecheng cannot compare, Yan Lingwei controlled by Ning Zecheng has been completely controlled by Tan Feng, but Zhou Yu cannot completely control the army, the size of the army, after all, is not comparable to Yan Lingwei, so you can't be punished by Ming Zheng, and you can only use some tricks." If I'm right, they'll find a way to let you die in my western Liaoning, so that I can put a little more and urine on my head. ”

"That's why you came to pick me up?"

"Although I also want you to die, I don't want you to die in Liaoxi." Gao Yuan made no secret of his dislike for Zhou Yuan, "So I have to come in person, because this time it was Li Yuncong who came to Liaoxi to preside over this matter." ”

"Li Yuncong?" Zhou Yuan was taken aback and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, this person has already taken refuge in Tan Feng, and his skills, if you want to come to Taiwei Zhou, you also know. As soon as this man arrived in Liaoxi, he assassinated me and another high-ranking official of the expedition to the east, and almost let him succeed. "High and far-reaching.

Zhou Yuan sneered, "Even if I'm down now, it's not something that a few assassins can get close to?" ”

"I know that the guards around Captain Zhou are not ordinary people!" Gao Yuan said: "But what if there are unreliable people among these personal guards of yours? ”

"It can't be!" Zhou Yuan flatly denied it.

"There is nothing impossible, have you ever thought that Zhou Yu would stab you in the back and strike back?" Gao Yuan didn't just sprinkle a handful of salt on top of Zhou Yuan's wound. "So Taiwei Zhou, I am solely responsible for your safety in western Liaoning, and your personal guards will be excluded, and when you leave western Liaoxi, there will be nothing to do with me."

Zhou Yuan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, and sighed silently, the past and the present are different from the past, although Gao Yuan wants to protect his life, but between his actions, he is full of malice. But he could not refuse, and could not refuse.

"People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, whatever you want!" sighed secretly in his heart, but Zhou Yuan was a military general after all, so he could let it go.

"Okay, I hope that during this time, I can see Captain Zhou very happily." Gao Yuan clapped his hands and smiled: "This matter aside, Captain Zhou, I saw that among the generals who came back with you, why didn't General Kumamoto disappear?" ”

"Kumamoto doesn't want to return to China, he wants to stay in Donghu, and when the last batch of captured Yan soldiers are released and return to China, he will come back when." Zhou Yuan was a little melancholy, but he knew in his heart that Kumamoto had completely parted ways with him, and in the last battle with Donghu, in order to let Zhou Yu get out and return, he ordered Kumamoto, who did not know the inside story of the front line, to lead the people of the headquarters to launch a battle at any cost.

"I can't see that General Kumamoto is still a man, much more daring than these generals who came back with you." Gao Yuan sighed: "Kumamoto, and that Hu Yanchao, Zhou Yu, Taiwei was originally full of talents, but unfortunately this battle turned out to be like this, Taiwei, you have been in Donghu for a few months, I don't know if there is anything more special, can you tell me?" ”

Zhou Yuan stared at Gao Yuan for a moment and nodded: "Presumably, next, you and Donghu are about to go to war, for this reason, I am willing to admit to it, if you can really defeat Donghu, it can be regarded as revenge for me." ”

"Not to defeat, but to destroy them completely!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, he didn't believe that Gao Yuan could do this.

"I'm in Helin, but I'm not restrained, I can move around at will, the political situation in Donghu is in violent turmoil, what Thorpe is doing now, it's similar to Ji Ling, the tribal power has been sharply weakened, and the palace guards of the Donghu royal court are swelling rapidly, it is conceivable that in the next few years, the originally scattered tribal alliance will become a highly unified central power." Zhou Yuan said: "If Donghu is allowed to form such a system, I am afraid that it will become an extremely terrible enemy." ”

He looked at Gao Yuan and suddenly laughed, "So I really hope that you can fight Dong Huduo for a few years, so that Dayan can have enough time to re-establish himself." Gaoyuan, you can support it for a few more years. ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "Don't work too hard. ”

"Thorpe is taking advantage of the prestige of defeating my Dayan this time, coupled with the strength of Agu and other tribes, there is almost no resistance to doing this, which is why I am optimistic that he can succeed."

"This person is indeed eloquent, not inferior to Miranda!" Gao Yuan nodded, and did not despise the opponent because the other party had suffered defeats under his hands, "This person is planning a major change in the entire Donghu, from nomadism to farming, although the final effect is not known, but daring to do so is already worthy of admiration." ”

"By the way, there's one more thing you need to pay attention to!" Zhou Yuan said suddenly, "Although there are rich mineral deposits in Donghu, their level of iron smelting and iron smelting is low, so I should not be worried, but I saw a large number of craftsmen of the Qi State in Helin, as well as a large number of Qi people, although they tried their best to cover it up, but at a glance it can be seen that they are soldiers, if my expectations are correct, the Qi State and Donghu have already been in a treachery." ”

Gao Yuan sat up straight all of a sudden, but this matter was worthy of his attention. (To be continued......)
