After thinking about the words in his heart, Takato spoke.

"Two bosses, I am indeed trapped in the shortage of money and food now, I used to have few soldiers, and Fufeng County Lord Wu, Liaoxi Zhang Taishou partnered to do the wine business, a year's money, barely able to survive, but to have a surplus, I have to attack everywhere, fight the trouble of the small tribe of Donghu, but now, the number of troops has increased suddenly, and now I, but even the salary has become a big problem. In order to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy, I set the soldiers' salaries very high, coupled with a series of policies such as resettlement after injury and posthumous pension, I am now fighting famine all the time. ”

Chun Yuyan groaned: "I have also heard of the salary of the soldiers in your expedition to the Eastern Mansion, it is not ordinarily high, it is more than twice the standing army, General Gao, if it can be reduced to the level of the standing army, this cost will be doubled, and you can also recruit twice as many soldiers?" ”

"This can't be helped!" Gao Yuan hadn't spoken yet, and Ye Tiannan and Ji Wugui had already spoken at the same time. "Lord Chunyu, you don't lead soldiers, I don't know how powerful it is, if Gao Yuan dares to do this, then the mutiny is only overnight."

"It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift!" Gao Yuan stroked his forehead and made a bitter face, "At the beginning, Gao Yuan was so little bit of a man, in order to let everyone sell his dead power, he had to use these to motivate people, but who knew that this plate was getting bigger and bigger, and the number of troops was increasing, and now I want to regret it, I don't have any regret medicine to eat, so I can only hold on." ”

"There are not many soldiers, but the most expensive is fine!" Ye Tiannan looked at Chun Yuyan and said: "Gao Yuan's training is quite unique, coupled with his generosity, and he loves soldiers like a son, the army can be said to be dead to him, which can be seen from the fact that he has been missing for several months but the army has not moved. Once he has taken down your army, even if you return, there will be no turning back from the bow. Fortunately, the Fufeng army was unmoved, which also shows the army's loyalty to him. So even if you get a high salary, it's worth it. ”

"Lord Ji has never seen the Wind Soldiers, but I have seen them." Chun Yuyan nodded, "It's really not ordinary, it's much stronger than our Dayan Standing Army, if the king has an army of tens of thousands of people, it is enough to make Zhou Yuan dare not move." General Gao. We will pay the money, how long can you fill up the establishment of your expedition to the Eastern Mansion? ”

Gao Yuan thought about it in his heart, "If the money and food can be in place, within two years, I am sure that the army will be expanded to 20,000 people, of which 10,000 will have the level of the wind support army that the Lord has seen." ”

"That's it!" Chun Yuyan suddenly smiled, "General Gao." Since we are all a family, I will not say secret words, you just have to make miraculous achievements in the battle against Donghu. Then the king will definitely vigorously promote you, even if you can't overpower Gao Yuan for the time being, but it is not impossible to compete with him on a par with him. Of course, you have to come up with the corresponding results. The king also needs to deal with the mouth of the world. ”

"As long as the soldiers are well fed, Gao Yuan will never lose to that old horseman." Gao Yuan is full of confidence.

"That's a lot of fun!" Ye Tiannan was a little worried. "You must know that Lu Dao, this time to conquer Donghu, the main general is Zhou Yuan, you are afraid that you will encounter a lot of difficult, dangerous, and complicated tasks, he will definitely throw it to you, and then those things that can easily get credit, you can't get the edge, this section, can you take it into account?"

"Father-in-law, no matter how difficult he is for me, but the geographical location of our army has determined that our army can only take the road of Niulan Mountain, and on this road, in the past year, I have explored the geography of mountains and rivers, customs and other things, and explored clearly, the important checkpoints of the Donghu people, the location of the tribes, are now under our control, coupled with the internal instability of Donghu, this battle, in fact, there is not much suspense, but what worries me is another matter."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm worried that Taiwei Zhou has colluded with the Donghu people to plot against me during the whole process. It's not something I can control. "Takato came up with an idea.

"It can't be!" Chun Yuyan vetoed Gao Yuan's statement in one mouth, "Zhou Yuan, I still understand, although this person is greedy for profit, he will not have an accident on such a big issue. He may make things difficult for you, but he will never collude with the enemy to deal with you, after all, if you fail along the way, the conquest of Donghu will be half ruined, which is absolutely a devastating blow to his ambition. ”

"Which is the sincerity? The danger of this person is not below Zhou Yuan! ”

"Although Ning Zecheng controls Yan Lingwei, the army is in the hands of Zhou Yuan after all, and he engages in conspiracy, but on the battlefield where this kind of army is crisscrossed and despicable, conspiracy cannot become a big thing." Chun Yuyan said with a smile. "And Zhou Yuan won't allow him to sabotage such a major event as the conquest of Donghu."

"If you say so, I understand!" Although there was still some worry in his heart, Gao Yuan couldn't grasp the point, glanced at Chun Yuyan, and said, "Lord Chunyu, didn't the king think about taking Yan Lingwei away from Ning Zecheng's hands?" ”

"How can you take it? As long as the king has this idea, he is afraid that it will attract a strong backlash? What, what do you have a good idea? Chun Yuyan's eyes lit up and looked at Gao Yuan.

"It's not a good idea, the current conquest of Donghu has entered the preparatory stage, Zhou Yuan is going to the front line again, the new prime minister is completely a puppet, everything in the country must be handled by Ning Zecheng, think about it, he will be very busy, at this time, it is a good opportunity, the king does not have to rush to take Yan Lingwei away from Ning Zecheng, he can hand it over to a person that Ning Zecheng can absolutely trust, think about it, Ning Zecheng will not have any too fierce reaction."

"To whom?"

"Tan Feng!" Takato softly spat out two words.

"This person is Ning is a dead friend, what is the difference between handing him over to him and being in the hands of Ning Zecheng?"

"The difference is big!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Tan Feng is still very different from Ning Zecheng. Anyway, no matter whether it succeeds or not, at least one nail will be hammered between the two of them, Ning Zecheng agreed, he would feel uncomfortable in his own heart, and if he didn't agree, Tan Feng and his family would inevitably be uncomfortable, and they would be uncomfortable left and right, so why don't we give it a try? Anyway, it's just a matter of the king's upper lip touching his lower lip, and it doesn't take any effort, but it can make them suspicious of each other, isn't it wonderful? ”

"It's wonderful!" After listening to Gao Yuan's words, the three people in the room all laughed, "Whether this divisive plan succeeds or not, it is worth a try." ”

Ji Wugui nodded with satisfaction: "Gao Yuan, you really didn't disappoint us, Zilan may be right, given time, you really have the hope of becoming my Zhao Mu of Dayan, with your assistance, Zhou Yuanning Zecheng These guys, want to cover the sky with one hand and overhead the king, but they are dreaming again." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and bowed.

"This time I came over with Lord Chunyu, one of them is talking to you about cooperation, of course, it is also to see if you are worth our investment regardless of blood, now it seems that we are worth the trip, and second, it is really here to have a glass of wine." Ji Wugui said with a smile.

"The congratulatory gift that Lord Ji gave this time is the first in the world!" Ye Tiannan smiled and said, "Gao Yuan, do you know what Lord Dao Ji gave you?" ”

"Silver? Armor? ”

"Just guess it!" Ji Wugui smiled, "500,000 taels of silver will be used for military expenses for you, and in addition to the armor and armor, the first batch will send you 10,000 pairs of iron armor, including 2,000 pairs of heavy armor." Of course, this will have to be secretly transported to your territory, and your father-in-law will personally plan the details. With the plan of an old traitor like him, it is naturally foolproof. ”

was called Lao Ji's giant slippery disciple by Ji Wugui, but Ye Tiannan was not angry, but twisted his beard and raised his head, looking very complacent.

Hearing that Ji Wugui was so generous, Gao Yuan was also taken aback, although he wanted to get more things from the other party, but he never imagined that there would be such a big gain, and the other party himself sent it to the door, it seems that Tianhe County is really not ordinarily rich, such a large amount of things, he gave it away without frowning.

He immediately stood up and bowed deeply towards Ji Wugui, "Gao Yuan, thank you to the county guard, thank you to the king, and be willing to go to the soup for the king, and then die." ”

"Good, good!" Ji Wugui lifted Gao Yuan with both hands, "You and I will work together to support Dayan." ”

The big thing was agreed, but Chun Yuyan got up with a smile, "Brother Ji, the big thing is over, let's avoid it first, I think they are two sons-in-law, and there are still a lot of things to say, we are here, but we are going to spoil the scenery!" ”

Ji Wugui also smiled and stood up, the grievances between Gao Yuan and Ye Tiannan were widely spread all over the world, how could he not know, but today is a good opportunity for Ye Tiannan to make up for the rift between the two sides, with Ye Tiannan's old skills, it is not a problem to take down a young man like Gao Yuan. Ye Tiannan is an important member of them, and the tighter he ties up with Gao Yuan, the more beneficial it will be to them.

Only Ye Tiannan and Gao Yuan were left in the room, but the atmosphere was a little awkward. After a while, Ye Tiannan said: "What do you really think about this matter?" ”

Gao Yuan's heart jumped slightly, and he glanced at Ye Tiannan.

"You are my son-in-law, I am your father-in-law, even if there were some rifts before, now I don't want to come here, I have something to say."

"Father-in-law, in my opinion, the king's situation is only a little bad, and some of them are in a hurry to go to the doctor!" Gao Yuan said softly.

"In this case, what you just said is not true!"

"No, in the current situation, it is advantageous for us to protect the king, with the banner of the king, we fight with each other, but the righteousness prevails, but father-in-law, with all due respect, we still need to be hard to strike iron, our current strength is still weaker, if you want to deal with the enemy, you need to be cautious, otherwise you will become a laughing stock if you die before you get out of the army."
