The sky, which had been overcast for almost a whole winter, finally put away the heavy lead clouds, and the long-lost sun knew that the blue sky poured down, illuminating the whole world, and the sound of water droplets falling was heard in my ears, which was the colorful ice cubes on the branches and under the eaves of the trees were melting under the sunlight. The snow is thinning in minutes, and in some places, tenacious weeds are poking their weak little heads out of the snow, swaying in the breeze to breathe in the fresh air and bask in the warm sunshine. On the branches of flowers and trees, if you look closely, you can see a little bit of weak green dots quietly appearing.

Spring is finally coming.

Everyone was in a good mood, the people in Fufeng County moved, the farmers began to sort out the farm tools, the merchants began to wipe the wheels, prepare the goods, as soon as the snow melted, the caravan could move on a large scale again, and for a whole winter, in addition to the strong business of the four seas did not stop the footsteps of the merchants, some other small trading houses began the cat winter, spring came, and their spring also came. The number of pedestrians on the streets suddenly increased several times, and the business of shops dealing in agricultural implements and some necessities for traveling far and wide immediately increased by several percent.

When Zhou Yuan left Fufeng County, he saw such a thriving scene.

"Taiwei Zhou, Li Yuncong is dead, if you want to come and go here, there should be no danger in Taiwei Zhou, Tianci will accompany you all the way to the border between Liaoxi and Langya, the current garrison general of Langya County is Hu Yanchao, that is Taiwei's old subordinate, where you want to come, you will be completely safe, Gao Yuan is still entangled in important matters, so you can't accompany him!" Gao Yuan hugged his fist at Zhou Yuan and smiled.

"Thank you, General Gao, for sending me all the way." Zhou Yuan also returned the salute with his fists and put down his hand, but his face was very complicated, "I really didn't expect that I would need the protection of a guy I regard as an enemy to leave a life." The vicissitudes of the world are strange and strange. Gao Yuan, you really impressed me. ”

Gao Yuan laughed heartily, "Our respective positions are different, and our views on the problem are naturally different, Taiwei Zhou, we used to be enemies before, but now, although we can't talk about friends." But at least we can coexist peacefully, and in the future, maybe we can still have the opportunity to cooperate, who would have thought that? A year ago, I would never have imagined that I would rack my brains to try to keep you safe? ”

"I can coexist peacefully because I am no longer qualified to be your enemy." Zhou Yuan sighed, "The fluffy phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and the tiger who goes down the mountain is bullied by dogs." ”

"Mrs. Zhou is too arrogant." Gao Yuan shook his head.

Zhou Yuan let out a long breath. "Gao Yuan, I also know what you are trying to save my life for, you want me to return to Jicheng and fight with Tan Feng and them again. You may be able to make a profit, at least it won't be a bad thing for you, but you're probably going to be disappointed, where you are now. Even if I go back to Jicheng, I won't be able to do anything, let alone anything. I don't want to do anything anymore. If it weren't for the fact that I underestimated the enemy, if it weren't for my greed for merit and wanting to establish immortality, I wouldn't dare to say that I would win this battle, but I would never lose, I would never retreat, even if King Yan wanted to punish me, I would not escape. ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "To be honest, I really hope that after you return to Jicheng, you will have the ambition to fight with Tan Erren and regain power, which is indeed good for me, at least until I and Donghu decide the victory, Jicheng has no time to take care of me." But with that said, I don't have much hope. ”

"You seem to be pretty sure about defeating Donghu?" Zhou Yuan glanced at Gao Yuan a little strangely, "In my opinion, you are still a complete weakling person in front of the Donghu people. ”

Gao Yuan shrugged, "The strength of the two sides, sometimes you can't see a reason from the surface, five years ago, when I faced the Donghu people, the ratio of my strength to them can be said to be the difference between ants and elephants, but I have proved with victory after victory that ants can also defeat elephants." Five years have passed, and now I have become a strong wolf, but the elephant of Donghu is a lot weaker, it can be said that he is riddled with diseases, although Thorpe wants to be a good doctor, but Donghu, who is immersed in the body, how can it be cured so easily. Taiwei Zhou, in a few years, maybe I will become a fierce tiger, and the elephant Donghu has already collapsed with a bang, and his face is gone. ”

"It's the first time I've heard someone compare themselves to a wolf." Zhou Yuan smiled, "You know, wolves are not a good thing in the hearts of the world. ”

"That's because they don't understand wolves!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "If the Taiwei lived on the grassland for a longer time, he would know how much hardship a wolf has to pay in order to survive." ”

"Anyway, I still wish you success, regardless of our positions with each other, Donghu is our common enemy, both public and private, I hope you can defeat them. Even if you control the vast area of Liaodong and Liaoxi because of this, and then threaten Dayan. I am happy to see that Huaxia can be promoted to the place of barbarians, and the white mountains and black waters can be brought back under the control of Huaxia. ”

"With your auspicious words, I can also confidently tell you that in a few years, you will be able to see my banner planted in the city of Horin." Lofty and proud. "At that time, I'll ask you to go and take a look with Lin again."

Zhou Yuan laughed, "Okay, if I can live to that time, I will definitely be invited by you, but leave me a place of endless shame to take a look." Gao Yuan, parting, I have something to ask for, I don't know if you might respond? ”

"Captain, please speak, I'll do my best."

"Kill someone for me."

Gao Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked strangely, "Kill someone?" ”

"Yes, kill a person, his name is Lu Shiren. Yan Lingwei's supreme person in Donghu, Dayan has invested a lot of manpower and material resources for his lurking over the years, and spared no effort to push him to Miranda's side step by step, but in the end, we lost in the hands of this person. If it weren't for him cooperating with Miranda and sending crucial information that made me miscalculate, perhaps, we wouldn't have lost so badly. ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, intelligence is important, but it is not the most fatal, the defeat of Donghu, in the final analysis, it is Zhou Yuan who is too eager, the history books are famous, and the idea of making immortal achievements occupies his mind, with his ability, he can make a correct judgment. However, for this obsession in Zhou Yuan's heart, Gao Yuan was not afraid to satisfy him, perhaps, this was the only excuse that Zhou Yuan could find for himself.

"Well, if the opportunity is right, I'll make this person disappear." He nodded.

"Thank you, that's all, Gao Yuan, let's leave it at that, I hope you have the opportunity to invite me to visit with Lin again."

"Don't worry, that day won't be too far away." Gao Yuan smiled.

Zhou Yuan nodded, turned around and walked towards his carriage, and when he stepped on the carriage with one foot, he suddenly turned around, "Maybe this time I will soon return to the former residence in Fenzhou to retire, the one thing you said, I thought about it, but I can consider it, when the time comes, you let people come to me!" ”

Hearing that Zhou Yuan finally agreed to this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you Taiwei, when Taiwei returns to Fenzhou and settles down, I will send someone to find Taiwei, Qi State is too deceitful, not only plotting against my Dayan land, but also helping Donghu, if you don't teach them a lesson, you will inevitably be more arrogant." ”

Zhou Yuan heard this, "For you and Da Yan, there are things that are beneficial, and I will naturally do my best, but Gao Yuan, establishing a sailor is not something that can be successful overnight, and if you want to fight with Qi people on the water, it is not something that can be achieved overnight." ”

"Whatever you do, you have to do it first before you can have any hope of success, and if you don't do it because of difficulties and little hope, you will never be able to defeat the enemy." Gao Yuan didn't care about the difficulties that Zhou Yuan said.

"No wonder you got to where you are today, maybe that's why you've succeeded!" Zhou Yuan glanced at Gao Yuan deeply, turned around and stepped into the carriage, the royal whip was raised, and the carriage started slowly.

Watching Zhou Yuan's carriage drift away, Gao Yuan shook the reins of his horse, looked back and said, "Let's go, go back to Jishi City." ”

In addition to the countless workshops that have never stopped the fire in the middle of winter, the people inside and outside the stone city have also moved, spring ploughing is imminent, the season of the year is in spring, and the next farm work can not be delayed. The various materials needed by Sun Xiao's Northern Field Army, who went to the Hetao Plain, should also be intensified, and the most difficult period for opening up the border and expanding the industry is always in the very beginning of the period, as long as it can stand there, it will get better and better in the future. Sun Xiao and Yan Peng took the people and horses, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they had already set off, counting the day, they were about to reach their destination, and the current news from the Donghu side was that the Donghu people had not made any big moves, it seemed that Thorpe was still busy sorting out a series of problems within Donghu, and he would not set his sights on the Hetao area until a smooth one, Gao Yuan was convinced that Thorpe would not ignore this place.

But he's already lagging behind. When he reacted, Sun Xiao must have made some preparations there, and next, it was the battle between the two armies, if Sun Xiao could take root in the Hetao and defeat the Donghu people in that direction, in the next few days, he would be a little more sure of attacking Donghu.

Jishi City is a thriving, joyful atmosphere, and in Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the atmosphere is inevitably a little depressing, Li Yuncong lost his hand, Zhou Yuan has entered Langya County, Langya garrison general Hu Yanchao has sent a battalion of soldiers to escort Zhou Yuan towards Jicheng.

How to deal with Zhou Yuan, who came back alive, has become a problem for Jicheng. (To be continued......)
