Seeing Zhou Yuan who took off the cloak on his head and appeared in front of him, Kumamoto couldn't help but have mixed feelings, after a few years, he would never have imagined that seeing Zhou Yuan again would be in such a situation. {For Kumamoto, Zhou Yuan can be regarded as a benefactor, Kumamoto can be said to have been pulled up by Zhou Yuan, and when he conquered Donghu, he handed over the responsibility of the vanguard general to him, and he never failed Zhou Yuan's hopes, and several major battles were fought vividly.

"Captain!" He fell to the ground with a choked voice.

Zhou Yuan took a step forward, helped Kumamoto up, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with some bitterness: "You have suffered all these years, and you are so old, Kumamoto, it was I who harmed you." If it weren't for my great joy, not checking the details, and having selfish intentions, how could I let hundreds of thousands of troops fall into Donghu, I am a sinner. ”

Kumamoto shook his head again and again, "Captain, who is selfless in their hearts?" If you are selfless in your heart, that is a saint, we are not saints, although the final decision was made by Taiwei, but we, the senior generals, did not add fuel to the fire, destroy Donghu, and go down in history as an opportunity, who is willing to let go lightly, if you say sinners, Taiwei is, why am I not? ”

Hearing Kumamoto explain himself like this, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel even more sad in his heart, "Over the years, you have insisted on staying in Donghu and saved many Yan Army soldiers, which has made you suffer." ”

"It's not bitter, this is what I should do, it's just Tai Lieutenant, you, what's wrong with you?"

"It's hard to put into words!" Zhou Yuan sighed, "The time is also the momentum, the general trend of Jicheng has gone, and the lofty soldiers are pressing, whether it is for the country or for myself, I can only choose again." ”

The two sat down, and Zhou Yuan began to explain the current situation in Dayan to Kumamoto in detail. When he heard that when Zhou Yuan came to him, Gao Yuan had forced Jicheng to put Langya and Yuyang under the rule of the Eastern Army, Kumamoto couldn't help but be shocked.

"Yan Kingdom lost Langya, Yuyang, why did it become Yan Country again?" Kumamoto sighed.

"Jicheng can no longer be counted on, and now Gaoyuan sits on Langya, Yuyang, Hejian, and Liaoxi. Prairie, Hetao and other vast areas, after the population under the rule of Yuyang and Langya, has also passed the Yan State, in order to conquer the high efficiency of the administration of the Eastern Mansion, it will not be long before these two places will become a high source of soldiers, granary, Tianhe County, where Jicheng is located, is attacked from three sides. It won't last long, and as for other states and counties, under the current general trend, they have long been half-hearted. There are many people who secretly send autumn waves to Zhengdong Mansion, and some people are actually ready to take refuge in Qi State, Dayan, and now people's hearts have fallen apart. Zhou Yuan shook his head and said.

"Why did the captain choose Gao Yuan?" Kumamoto asked, "Captain." Over the years, Taiwei and Gao Yuan have had a deep grudge. Isn't the captain afraid that Gao Yuan will settle accounts after the autumn, which is not good for you? ”

Zhou Yuan said with a smile: "Gao Yuan, this person, has a broad heart, but it is really unexpected, his heart is not above personal grievances, but in the world." He wants to point the sword at the world, chase the Central Plains, some personal grievances, which is in the corner of his eyes, at first I was also suspicious, thought of a way to test him, asking his son to make a marriage contract with my little granddaughter, how do you say? ”

"He agreed?"

"Yes, he agreed, and he has signed a marriage contract with my Zhou family." Zhou Yuandao.

"So, congratulations to the captain!" Kumamoto arched.

"It was a temptation, but I didn't expect him to agree so happily, I thought about it, and finally figured it out, Gao Yuan allowed me to come, not only because of your affairs here, but also because, I am in the Yan Kingdom, there is still a small hope, Gao Yuan After defeating Donghu, he will definitely draw his sword and go south, enter Jicheng, and change the dynasty, at that time, I Zhou Yuan can come in handy, Ning Zecheng has a daughter, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember, I heard that it was a very beautiful woman, but I haven't seen it before."

"This person is also in the Eastern Mansion now, and he is in a high position." Zhou Yuan looked at Kumamoto, "I really didn't expect that the two old guys who were the most energetic against Gao Yuan back then, and now the descendants of me and Ning Zecheng will be under Gao Yuan's command." ”

"Too relieved, are you optimistic about Gao Yuan?"

"I stayed in Jishi City for a while, walked around at will, it was this period of wandering, let me make up my final mind, I have never seen such a thriving, full of vitality of the place, the true strength of the lofty, not only reflected in his army, his construction in the civil is even more refreshing, the reason why the Qin State is strong, is because of the adoption of Li Confucian's doctrine, and now in the Zhengdong Mansion as a councilor, in charge of political affairs, Jiang Jiaquan, and Li Confucian, but the concept is quite different, in my opinion, I was afraid that Jiang Jiaquan's concept would be better, Gao Yuan gave him a stage to display his talents, and as Gao Yuan's territory became bigger and bigger, his doctrine began to be implemented smoothly under Gao Yuan's rule. Now, it has become a solid backing for Gao Yuan. ”

"I also know a little bit about Li Ru's doctrine, it is precisely because of Li Ru that the Qin State has become the number one power in the world within a few decades, since Jiang Jiaquan is from the same school as him, but I don't know where the difference is?"

"It's very simple, in a nutshell, one is the rich and the poor, and the other is the rich and the poor. The country of Qin is rich and the people are poor, and the lofty Zhengdong Mansion is running in deficit every year, and it has to borrow money from the people every year, before I came to you this time, he just borrowed millions of taels of silver from the people, and I heard that it is in the form of debt rolls, which are purchased by the people themselves, and they are repaid once a year, and there is interest. ”

"Will the people lend him money?" Kumamoto was a little incredible, "Why didn't he raise taxes?" ”

"You see, this is the difference between our thinking and theirs, in our opinion, when the country has no money, it will think about raising taxes on the people, and raising taxes will often make people resentful, Gao Yuan is different, he borrows money, sometimes I think, why does he borrow more and more money, but the people support him more and more?"

Kumamoto thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Maybe the common people feel that if Gao Yuan loses, they will lose all their money." ”

Zhou Yuan laughed, "That's probably it!" However, the common people are willing to lend him money, which is worth considering. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Gao Yuan is so popular with the people, how can I not value it, so when I have a second chance to choose, I will choose him, Kumamoto, now you also have a second chance to choose, will you follow Gao Yuan? Join the Eastern Army, you are still young, and you can still lead the army and gallop the world. A general like you, who has rich experience in commanding troops, Gao Yuan has always been very welcome. To be honest, he is also lacking such talents now. ”

"Will Gao Yuan use me?"

"He even dares to use me, why don't you dare to use you?" Zhou Yuan said with a smile: "Gao Yuan will first level Donghu, then take Yandu, pacify Quanyan, and finally will inevitably point to the world and unify the Central Plains, don't you want to follow this wave to meet the heroes of the world and make yourself famous in the annals of history?" ”

Kumamoto couldn't help but be excited.

"But Tai Lieutenant, now I have the form here, you also know that although I have regained control of this army, but the equipment is poor, and the grain and grass are stuck in the hands of the Donghu people, the Donghu people actually do not trust our army, and have always been closely monitored, as long as our army is slightly changing, the Donghu iron cavalry in Ningyuan City will inevitably raise the butcher's knife to us, not the last general to say a discouraged word, now this army, the spirit has long been gone." Kumamoto is a little depressed.

"You don't have to worry about this, the Eastern Army has already made a plan." Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Xu Yuan, commander of the Northern Group Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and Sun Xiao, the commander of the Liaodong Army, have gathered 50,000 troops in Tengger, and among these 50,000 troops, there is a cavalry force of more than 15,000 people. Next, the Eastern Army will launch a large-scale attack on Jingyuan, and the advance will be this cavalry of 15,000 men. Think about it, once Jingyuan is in an emergency, can Ningyuan's Ususotan still sit still? He must come to the rescue, and this is your chance. ”

"He'll take my ministry with him." Kumamoto Road.

"No, he will definitely not take you there, first, your army is all foot soldiers, it is impossible to have the same degree as them, and second, Ususotan can't fully trust you, the big battle is imminent, and he will attack with you, don't you say he is worried, so he will leave you to guard Ningyuan." Zhou Yuan affirmed, "The Eastern Army is attacking Jingyuan, in fact, it is the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and the real main force is aimed at this army of Wususotan." ”

"If that's the case, after taking Ning Yuan, I will lead the army to chase and attack, and stab them again when they are most dangerous." Kumamoto clenched his fists.

"That's right." Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "When Ususotan is in danger, he will definitely rush to the hospital and ask you for help, at this time, you will lead the army straight forward, give him the final blow, and completely destroy this Donghu army, here, what I am most worried about is the morale and combat strength of your troops." ”

"Tai Lieutenant, if I go to fight the Eastern Army, I will worry about this, but to fight the Donghu people, the sons and daughters under my command are only afraid that they will scream one by one and can't wait, I have Ningyuan, I will have enough food and grass, and I will not be subject to the Donghu people, this battle will definitely be won and undefeated."

When Zhou Yuan quietly left the Kumamoto camp with satisfaction, in Tengger, a high-level military meeting was also being held, Xu Yuan, who was the commander of the Northern Group Army, sat in the main seat, and on his side, it was Sun Xiao, who had not been appointed as the protector of Liaodong for a short time.

Xu Yuan is very concerned about the current battle, this is the first big battle after he took office in the Northern Field Army, naturally there is no room for loss, glanced at the generals under his command, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

He stood up, and when he was about to give the battle order, the door of the conference room was kicked open, and in the conference room where the senior generals gathered, such a thing happened, which was naturally a little incredible, but when all the generals saw the person standing at the door, they all retracted their necks one by one, and even Xu Yuan, who was still full of ambition just now, suddenly felt a headache.

Because standing at the door is He Lanyan, a He Lanyan who has been pregnant for several months and looks at Helan Yan who is already a little pregnant. (To be continued!r527.)
