Quwo. The small city of Wei is a world of difference compared with the prosperous Jicheng, with broken city walls, narrow streets, thatched houses and poor people, even the poor people of Jicheng are better off than the people here. Here, now it is the place where King Yan Jiling and his ministers Zhou Yu, Tan Feng and others settled.

Qi Guotian single broke Yan, although Yan still has a large area under the nominal general Gao Yuankong of Zhengdong, but Yan Ji is equivalent to homeless, under the construction of Tan Feng, Ji Ling asked the King of Wei for a place to stay, and the King of Wei promised to give Quwo to the King of Yan Ji Ling to recuperate. Of course, there is no free lunch in this world, Qu Wo, is now almost on the line of the attack of the Qin army led by Lu Chao, although it is not the front of the attack, but the position is still very important.

Quwo gives it to you, but you have to guard the frontier for me, and this is the exchange between the two sides.

All the way to collect the stragglers, by the time of Quwo, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu had gathered thousands of people, counting the troops who broke through with them, the two finally had tens of thousands of horses in their hands, and the king of Wei generously replenished them with grain, grass and ordnance, but they also knew very well in their hearts that this was probably the first time and the last time, because the envoy of the king of Wei made it very clear that Quwo would be in the future? It is a resting place for Yanling, that is, in the future, they will rely on Quwo to feed their soldiers and horses.

"Quwo is a hundred miles away, with a total of 5,832 households." With the household registration transferred from the county seat, Tan Feng reported to Ji Lingyu.

"A radius of 100 miles, not a small county, why are there only more than 5,000 households? Ji Ling asked in surprise.

"Quwo is often attacked by the Qin army, and there has always been a lot of war, and there are many fugitives. The people's livelihood is withering, and the poverty is extreme." Tan Feng sighed, "Your Majesty, here, if you want to feed our 10,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's impossible."

"More than 10,000, Kong De's messenger has also arrived today, Kong De with 10,000 soldiers and horses, will arrive in about ten days," Zhou Yu emphasized on the side.

"Why only 10,000 soldiers? Tan Feng raised his head in surprise, "There should be at least more than 20,000 people under Kong De's command."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "I also asked the messenger like this." The messenger told me that in order to get rid of the entanglement of Ye Zhen's army, their major general Kong Fang took 5,000 men to cover the withdrawal of the army, and at the same time, some people were unwilling to leave their homeland and came to Wei, so they became deserters on the way. Some of the wounded soldiers were also unable to travel far away, so they were paid travel expenses and dismissed."

Tan Feng's face was ugly, "Kong Fang is only afraid that it is not the queen who is broken, but who takes those five thousand people to join Ye Zhen, right?" If I'm expecting it to be good. Those 5,000 men must be the most elite troops under Comte."

Ji Ling raised his head at this time, waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, Kong De can come." If you can bring 10,000 people with you, you can be considered very loyal, and you don't have to be too harsh, if you use this to blame him. Doesn't it make him feel cold, now that we are in this situation, he is looking for a way back for his son. It's also understandable, Tan Qing, after General Kong came, there is no need to mention this matter again, I don't know! "

"Your Majesty! Zhou Yu bowed down and said, "Kong Deken is here, thank God. Don't chill his heart."

"The king can rest assured, this matter is naturally saved, but there is some injustice in his heart, Kong De asked his son to hug the thigh, but this thigh is not necessarily how reliable, Tian Dan's tens of thousands of troops are attacking Liaoxi, and the lofty army in Donghu has no time to rush back, once Liaoxi is lost, the stones are not guaranteed, Ye Zhen's troops have to be divided between the rivers, Yuyang and Yang, where can they be held? "

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! Ji Ling said indignantly: "If it weren't for Gao Yuan's rebellion, how could this king be in today's predicament?" Now I'm willing to let Tian Dan enter Liaoxi and defeat Gao Yuan, and it's best to take his head to relieve the hatred in my heart."

"Wang Shang is relieved, Gao Yuan's main force is far away in Donghu and Lin, Tian Dan's tens of thousands of troops are attacking Liaoxi, Gao Yuan's nest will inevitably be difficult to protect, and Gao Yuan will definitely rush back day and night in order to save the old man, and at that time, Tian Dan will recuperate, and Gao Yuan's soldiers will be tired, the result of this battle, do not ask. Gao Yuan, this person, the heart of disobedience is obvious, now let the two of them eat dog, it is best to fight a lose-lose situation." Tan Feng said.

Zhou Yu raised his eyes, glanced at Tan Feng, opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but finally lowered his head again.

"Chun Yuyan doesn't know if he has arrived in Chu now? Ji Ling looked at the two, "I don't know if he can say that King Chu Huai will help this king?" "

"Chun Yuyan's sharp mouth is not unaware, he will definitely live up to the king's expectations when he goes, King Chu Huai is your father-in-law, how can he sit idly by? Even for the sake of the princess, King Chu Huai will help the king." Tan Feng smiled and said: "As long as King Chu Huai Chen Bing Qi Chu border threatened, Tian Dan will inevitably be forced to the negotiation table.

"A certain price? I'm afraid that the price will be expensive at that time, Tian Danyan has no reason to open his mouth? Ji Ling said sadly: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, the king's Dayan will be cut off countless lands."

"Your Majesty, even so, it's better than what we're nesting in Quwo now! Although there will be a price to pay, but as long as we work hard, there will always be a time to make a comeback, the ups and downs of life, this is also normal, thinking about the Great Qin of the year, isn't it often beaten by the Huns to pay compensation and make peace, and the wolf is unbearable? Can you look at it now, where are the Huns? Even the lord of their royal court was beheaded by the Ying Ying Array! The eldest husband endured the humiliation for a while, but what he asked for was the inheritance of eternity! Tan Feng was righteous and stern, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

"I hope so! Ji Ling was also aroused by Tan Feng's words.

Zhou Yu on the side suddenly said: "What if, I mean, if Gao Yuan wins this big battle?" At that time, what should we do? "

yes, what if Takato wins?

The other two have not thought about this problem, but they are unwilling to think deeply about the result. If Tian Dan wins, there is still hope for the mediation of the state of Chu, and then cede the land and pay the compensation to return to the state of Yan, but if Gao Yuan wins, will they still have a chance to go back?

"Taiwei Zhou, do you think that in the current situation, Gao Yuan has the possibility of winning? If you were Takato, and you were in command of this battle, do you think you have a chance of victory? Tan Feng asked rhetorically.

Zhou Yu was silent for a while, "Not bad." For a moment, I couldn't think of any chance of turning defeat into victory."

Tan Feng heard the meaning of his words, Zhou Yu meant that he couldn't think of it, but it didn't mean that Gao Yuan couldn't think of it, after all, Gao Yuan had created too many miracles in the past ten years. Tan Feng pretended not to know, but Ji Ling didn't react.

"Captain, even you can't think of any chance of Gao Yuan winning. So why are we worried so much? "

Walking out of Ji Ling's humble residence, Zhou Yu and Tan Feng slowly walked along the narrow street, the sunlight shining in front of them, dragging their shadows behind them for a long time. It looks extremely bleak.

"Tan Feng, if Gao Yuan wins, what will we do? Zhou Yu asked again.

"There's no way he's going to win," Tan Feng said categorically.

Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, Gao Yuan didn't have a chance to win. It's just that if Gao Yuan wins, they will never have any chance, and they will inevitably fall into Quwo from now on. Become a sword in the hands of the King of Wei to defend against the Qin people.

"There are so few people in Quwo, they can't feed our army at all, and this is not counting the 10,000 soldiers and horses that Kong De will arrive, have you thought about this question? Zhou Yu turned his head and asked.

"Of course I thought about it." Tan Feng nodded, "Our soldiers are too many compared to the difficulties we are facing now, let's cut them!" Eliminate the weak and retain the strong, select the best of the best, and those who have been laid off will be resettled on the spot, and Quwo will have the advantage of having few people, and those abandoned land will be distributed to these soldiers who have been intercepted, which will not only reduce our burden, but also find a way for these people to live, and next year, we will collect taxes from them and survive this year, and tomorrow, everything will be fine."

"And how much are you going to cut?"

"Half!"

"What about Comte?"

"Including Conde, after Conte arrived, we had a total of more than 20,000 people, and half of them were eliminated, leaving only 10,000 people, and then reorganized."

"This is a disguised attempt to deprive Comte of his military powers, will he agree?"

"If he doesn't agree, does he have what it takes to get enough money and food to feed his army?" Tan Feng sneered, "If he doesn't come, we naturally can't do anything to him, but since he is here, what can we do to him?"

"Kong De is still loyal to Dayan, you can't use drastic means to deal with him, otherwise it will arouse the dissatisfaction of his subordinates and cause a mutiny, then it will be out of control!" Zhou Yu warned Tan Fengdao.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I have my own measure, since Kong De is still loyal to Dayan, it will be easy to do, there is a saying that a gentleman can be bullied." Tan Feng laughed.

Zhou Yu shook his head again, "The queen was humiliated in Jicheng, although we have concealed it from the king for a while, it is impossible to hide it all the time, and it is impossible to hide it from the king of Chu, when we fled, we didn't have time to bring the princess, will King Chu Huai be annoyed that the king refused to borrow troops?"

Tan Feng snorted, "In this matter, although our king has no face, does King Chu Huai have a lot of face?" The king has fallen to this point, and he is already shameless, but King Chu Huai still wants to be faced, Brother Zhou, I have already sent someone to Chu to publicize this matter, even if the king of Chu is shameless, there are always people in Chu who want to be faced, and when the time comes, King Chu Huai will have to send troops. Tian Dan was a little too carried away this time."

Hearing Tan Feng comment on his group like this, Zhou Yu couldn't help blushing, but he had nothing to say, yes, at this point, what face is there to talk about?
