Chapter 292: The Insider

Ning Zecheng's first feeling to Gao Yuan is that he is approachable. Above the court, Gao Yuan did not have the opportunity to contact him, but at this time, the attitude shown by Ning Zecheng was completely different from his status.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the human soul, the three important ministers of the Yan Kingdom, Ye Tiannan is deep, which is uncertain, Zhou Yuan is mighty, Gu Pan is scorching, and does not take off the true colors of a martial artist, but Ning Zecheng is clear, which makes Gao Yuan very surprised, if anyone says that Ning Zecheng's mind is as clear as his eyes, he will not believe it if he is killed, Ning Zecheng, who controls the secret service agency of Yan State and is also one of the three ministers, if his mind is as clear as his eyes, I am afraid that he will already die in countless political battles, and there will be no scum left.

Then there is only one left, the great treacherous like loyalty, and the great evil like good.

This conclusion shocked Gao Yuan.

But no matter what, no matter what Ning Zecheng was thinking in his heart, this person did himself a favor some time ago, as for this general Zhengdong, I'm afraid it can't be separated from him, why did he do this, Gao Yuan didn't think of it for a while, but for himself, this gave him a higher platform. General Zhengdong, opened the government and built a government, and from then on he could completely get rid of the constraints of Zhang Shouyue and act independently and cheaply.

Up to now, Ning Zecheng still feels like a spring breeze to him, from the point of view of appearance, Ning Zecheng really deserves the four words of personability, like Ye Xiangnan, the young man was proudly beaten into the bottom of his life, fled for ten years, painstakingly lonely, looks much older than the actual age, and much older, and Zhou Yuan is because of his long martial arts career, the appearance is extremely rough, every move, all reveal his identity as a martial artist, only Ning Zecheng, although he is over forty, but his face is like a crown of jade, between gestures, It makes people involuntarily feel broken.

Judging people by their appearance will really kill them. Gao Yuan whispered to himself in his heart, from the beginning of entering the door, this Lord Ning had at least one thing nonsense about him.

Ning Zecheng praised the exploits of Gao Yuan, Tan Feng and others without words, and laughed at himself for being a powerless literati like him, who would never be able to see the vertical and horizontal gallop on the battlefield, and the fierceness.

But Gao Yuan knew that he was lying, Lord Ning may never go to the battlefield, but he is by no means a powerless person, a short opportunity to shake hands outside the door, Gao Yuan accurately and clearly felt the calluses on the palm of this adult, even if this adult trims every day, but this is still not enough for Gao Yuan, feeling the kind of strength in the soft palm, so that Gao Yuan understands that this adult may never have the opportunity to do something with others, but he is definitely a good hand.

The children of the nobility in this era are basically still both civil and military. Dismount can govern the country, get on the horse can lead the army, at this point, Gao Yuan has to admit that among the noble children he has seen, he really hasn't seen a useless waste. Jiang Xinliang is like this, Tan Feng is like this, and even Zhang Junbao and Zhang Shubao are not like this?

Between talking and laughing, when they arrived at the small hall where Ning Zecheng was entertaining, the guests and hosts sat down, and the three people present, a doctor of the imperial historian and two generals, were all important ministers of the Yan Kingdom.

"Gao Yuan, this time General Zhengdong fell into your house, didn't you expect it?" Looking at Gao Yuan, Ning Zecheng said with a smile.

"I was about to thank Lord Ning, Gao Yuan really didn't expect that although he didn't know the way, he thought that it must be Lord Ning who made a big effort." Gao Yuan arched his hand." I don't say thank you, and getting this position is indeed very helpful to Gao Yuan."

Tan Feng smiled, "Still thinking about riding a high-headed horse and carrying a sedan chair to Yefu to grab Ye Jing'er?" Again, if you dare to go, I will accompany you."

Gao Yuan smiled, "I naturally want to think about it, but it doesn't seem realistic now, if I go like this, I will probably be beaten out of the stick. Gao Yuan was beaten with a stick, but even Brother Tan was uneasy."

Ning Zecheng smiled slightly, "If Gao Yuan you go to the door now, I dare to guarantee that it is not the stick that greets you, but Ye Tiannan's bright smiling face, he really didn't want to see you before, but this time is also another time, and now, he can't accept you to come to see his old father-in-law!"

Gao Yuan's face froze slightly, "This, I'm afraid it's unlikely, right?"

"What's impossible?" Tan Feng said: "In the past, you were just a small county lieutenant, and it was of no help to him, but now what are you, you are the general of Zhengdong, if you just have a false name, it would be fine, but now you have thousands of tigers under your command, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow for Ye Xiang."

Gao Yuan was silent. A moment ago, they were still regarded as enemies, and they were inseparable, but in the blink of an eye, they released their previous suspicions and laughed and laughed, is this the so-called politician? It seems that his skin is still not thick enough!

"Ye Xiang has been in exile for ten years, once he came to power, there is the favor of the king, there are many nobles under the court, Langya County has also returned to the hands of Ye Xiang, the Ye family is a thriving scene, but the Ye family has a bright appearance, but there is a fatal problem inside, that is, the army." Ning Zecheng looked at Gao Yuan and said: "The minister of state who has no strength is just a rootless duckweed, and it may be blown away by the rain and wind at any time, but the army is not something that can be had, which is also the reason why Ye Xiangwei tried to prevent your marriage with Ye Jing'er at the beginning, because as far as I know, a figure like Jiang Dawei, who has military strength outside but lacks support inside, wants to connect with Ye Xiang inside and outside and learn from each other. In fact, if Ye Jing'er's good friend was not you, but Zhang Shouyue's son, then Ye Xiang would definitely smile happily."

"But now, you were born out of nowhere, from an inconspicuous small county lieutenant in a border town, to a powerful general, and your performance on the battlefield also proves that you have incomparable potential, Ye Xiang will naturally change his views and accept you, so, for the matter between you and Ye Jing'er, I am very optimistic, maybe Ye Xiang will delay this matter for a while for the sake of face, but for you, he will definitely try to win you over."

"In the battle of Yan and Zhao, my Great Yan won a complete victory, not only gained his homeland, but also weakened the Zhao State to a great extent, and in the future, if the Zhao State wants to deal with the Qin State, he will not have time to pay attention to us, but will beg us not to make trouble." Speaking of this, Ning Zecheng became excited, "Of course we won't provoke them at this time, the Zhao State can be weak, but it can't collapse, we still need them to block the Qin people, for us, this is a precious time, and this time will be an opportunity for us to calm down Donghu and recover a large area of Liaodong." Once we do this, and the Zhao State continues to weaken in the confrontation with the Qin State, our Yan State can take advantage of the situation."

"Your general Zhengdong is also extremely good at karma, my Dayan wants to use troops against Donghu, but over the years, there is only one you, who continues to attack Donghu and knows Donghu very well. And you have a very close relationship with Zhang Shouyue, with you as the general of the expedition to the east, open the government and build a government, you will not be afraid of Zhang Shouyue in western Liaoning, if you do well, you may also get his support, so that it is of great benefit to my Dayan to pacify Donghu. You must know that it is simply impossible to use troops against Donghu without the support of Zhang Shouyue."

"When will the imperial court use troops against Donghu?" Takato asked.

Ning Zecheng smiled, "Are you in a hurry?" This is in a hurry, the strategy has been set, but if it is really to be implemented, it will not work at all without a few years of hard work."

"It's said that soldiers are expensive and fast!" Gao Yuan groaned: "If it takes a long time, Miranda smells the wind, and she will inevitably make targeted deployments, won't it be more difficult to fight at that time?"

Ning Zecheng smiled: "Gao Yuan, watching you fight, it is indeed extremely subtle in the use of tactics, but in terms of strategy, you still lack a lot, our use of troops against Donghu this time is very different from fighting against Zhao State."

Tan Feng nodded, "For Zhao State, we can accept it when we see it, and we can achieve the predetermined goal, but for Donghu, this is a real national war, which is bound to exterminate the clan, either you die or I die, such a big battle, it is basically impossible to win quickly. Therefore, the preparatory work in the early stage will take longer."

"What Tan Feng said is good, making a decision, preparing, and sending troops, this is a long process. If you are in a hurry, you will be in a hurry." Ning Zecheng said slowly: "Even if Miranda knows the Tao, what's the use, in the end, you have to decide whether you win or lose with your strength."

Gao Yuan let out a long breath, and in these respects, he was still too far behind.

"Of course, after you go back, you will have a small fight with the Donghu people, or even a big fight, we can't control it, if you can win easily, we will get what we want, however, I estimate that this situation is unlikely to happen, you may win some victories in the early stage, but in the end, you will run into an iron wall, if the Donghu people are so easy to fight, Zhang Shouyue will not live in vain all these years?" Ning Zecheng laughed.

Gao Yuan nodded, "I understand."

"The king is optimistic about you, I support you, Ye Xiang sees that your rise is unstoppable, and you come up, it is not a bad thing for him, so he will not stop it, this is the reason why you can get the real position of General Zhengdong." Ning Zecheng said with a smile: "Only Taiwei Zhou is unhappy, but he can't twist us alone."

"Lord Ning, please forgive me, what is the purpose of your support for me so much? In Yuyang, I have already declined your invitation!" Gao Yuan looked at Ning Zecheng, there were some things, he didn't ask to understand, he was really a little worried.

Ning Zecheng smiled and said nothing, and after a while, he said, "Can't you think about it?"

Gao Yuan shook his head.

"Gao Yuan, a general who can only fight and does not understand politics can only be a fierce general who charges into battle, and it is impossible to become a pillar of the country, and a general who understands politics and can fight can become an indispensable marshal of the country, in this regard, Zhao Mu is a very good example, I heard that Zilan will label you as Zhao Mu of Yan State?"

"It's just a casual remark he makes!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said.

"He has bad intentions!" Ning Zecheng said: "This person is very deep in the city, don't underestimate this casual sentence, Gongzilan is actually thoughtful, and the sinister thoughts of wanting to stir up the political situation in my Dayan are clear at a glance."

Gao Yuan really couldn't understand how Zilan's words could have an impact on the political situation of Yan Kingdom.

"This, leave it to you and think about it slowly!" Ning Zecheng said with a smile: "The question you want to ask, I can answer you now, and promote you, first, because you have this ability, for the country, of course I have to support it. Wouldn't I strongly support things that can balance public and private interests?"

"Balance between public and private?" Gao Yuan still doesn't understand.

"In a war, who has the most power in the Yan Kingdom?" Ning Zecheng asked with a smile, and without waiting for Gao Yuan to answer, he replied to himself: "It's Tai Wei. The longer the battle is fought, the greater the power controlled by the Tai Lieutenant, and I, Ye Xiang, or I, Ye Xiang, have to revolve around him and serve him, the army is originally the Tai Lieutenant's own land, although I have Tan Feng, it is only a drop in the bucket, so we must divide the power of the Tai Lieutenant in the process of the war, on the premise of not mistaking state affairs. And you're the best candidate. You, Zhang Shouyue and the others, will be the best force to restrain the Taiwei. I guess you should get it now, right? The faster you grow up, Ye Xiang will be happy, because you are his son-in-law, and I am also very happy, because I have your friendship, Taiwei can't be a family, this is our principle, maintain a balance, Yan Kingdom will be stable for a long time."
