Chapter 336: Joining forces

As Zhang Shouyue turned to the back hall, sat in the small hall, and drank the sobering soup brought by the girl, under the agitation of the cold well water, the high-spirited wine suddenly subsided a lot.

"I'm really embarrassed to let you see a joke in my house as soon as you enter Liaoxi City!" While embellishing the fragrant tea, he looked at Zhang Shouyue, who was tall and far-facing, with a smile and said casually, "The two boys are not at ease now!" ”

Gao Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "How do I feel that it is Gong Zhang that you are indulging them?" ”

Zhang Shouyue put down the teacup and laughed out loud. "Your eyes are thieves. I used to think wrongly, thinking that I had arranged everything well for them, but they didn't appreciate it at all, and they had their own grievances, but it seemed that I was not human. In this case, it's better to let the two of them give it a go, isn't it still my Zhang family's people who win? Captivity is not as strong as free-range life, and I have deeply experienced this in you. ”

Listening to Zhang Shouyue describe himself like this, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "I'm just forced, when people reach the point of life and death, they can always burst out with strength that even they can't imagine." I'm not afraid to be honest in front of Zhang Gong, and I never thought that I would have come to this point. ”

"Your future doesn't stop there!" Zhang Shouyue pondered for a moment and said: "Gao Yuan, although you are young, but your vision is old and spicy, you have always clearly supported Shubao in the competition between my two sons, are you really optimistic about Shubao?" ”

Staring at Gao Yuan, Zhang Shouyue's eyes were a little strange, and his fingers tapped the table with rhythm one by one, obviously, he had something else in his heart.

"Zhang Gong, I understand what you mean. Here, I can tell Zhang Gong very clearly that I have no intention of coveting the land of Liaoxi. Junbao is good at governance, and Shubao is brave. In the peaceful and prosperous times, Junbao is better, and in the chaotic era, Shubao is good, but it is a pity that Junbao and Shubao cannot be combined into one, otherwise, it will be another Zhang Gong in the future. Gao Yuan said calmly.

"Listen to you, chaos is coming!" Zhang Shouyue said thoughtfully.

"Yes, chaos is coming!" Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively, "After the Qin people swept away the Xiongnu. It is inevitable that the west will go out to Guguan, the Chu people will hold the defects, the Zhao people will not take care of themselves, our Dayan only thinks about passing through the East Hu, when the Qin people come, the Central Plains six countries will be difficult to achieve, and the world will be a mess. Even if Zhang Gong lives in western Liaoning, how can he be at ease? ”

"So you support Uncle Bao?" Zhang Shouyue asked.

Takato smiled. "Gong Zhang, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and everything is under your control, Uncle Junbao. Presumably Zhang Gong will have his own opinions in the future, but as far as I am concerned, it is naturally better for Shubao, and if Shubao is in power in the future. When you join hands with me, if it is Junbao, it is not at all. ”

Zhang Shouyue shook his head slowly. Leaning back with his back, his face was tired, "I am over the age of six, in the past two years, I have become more and more powerless, and the old debt of the year always has to be repaid, so I am ready to take a closer look while my mind is still clear, this time Dayan Zhengdonghu is just an opportunity for me to see the two of them clearly, not only to see the ability, but also to see the heart, when the time comes, make a decision!" ”

"Zhang Gong is wise." Gao Yuan didn't want to say much on this issue.

"Tell me, if I Da Yan conquers Donghu, is it possible to fight with the Qin people and fight for this opportunity to unify Liuhe? Although my Yan people live in the middle of nowhere, the Qin people are also nested in the west, and we are a little better in comparison. ”

"No way!" Gao Yuan said categorically.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhang Shou said to him. "If I defeat Donghu in Dayan, it won't take long, only ten years, to be able to digest it, and if the Qin people want to unify the Central Plains, they will inevitably have to fight to the death with the Zhao State.

"Zhang Gong, I said that Dayan is not the opponent of the Qin people, it depends on the system of both sides. Dare to ask Zhang Gong, if there is a big war in Qin Yan now, and the imperial court orders you to take all the elite soldiers of Liaoxi to the battle, will you agree? Gao Yuan asked.

Zhang Shou was stunned for a while, and then slowly shook his head.

"That's right!" Gao Yuan smiled: "Not only you, but I believe that all the county guards of Dayan will probably adopt the same method to preserve their strength. But the Qin people are different, under an order, the soldiers of the country can be gathered in a blink of an eye, unified logistics, unified supplies, unified command, this battle has not yet been fought, the victory and defeat are divided into one or two, to be honest, I am now for the Zhao State of Zhao General Zhao Mu is really a high mountain admiration, admiration, in this case, he can actually withstand the Qin people, seal them outside the Hangu Pass, it is really an extremely remarkable thing. Everyone in the world calls Li Xin and him, in fact, in my opinion, Zhao Mu is too strong, if he changes positions, maybe Zhao Mu will already defeat the Central Plains. ”

Zhang Shouyue was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "If this is the case, what are you going to do?" Watching the Qin people unify Liuhe and wipe out all of us? ”

Zhang Shouyue's lifelong struggle is to make Liaoxi County his own industry, and he has just succeeded, but if the Qin people call, all this will come to naught, because the Qin people implement a centralized county system, and they simply do not allow counties like Yan to guard their own side, and they are not willing to listen to the Yan court.

"I can't think of it this far!" Gao Yuan smiled faintly, "This is the question that an old man like you, Gong Zhang, should think about." I don't have anything but a few thousand brothers under my command, so I don't have to think about it so much. ”

"What if Liaodong is yours in the future?" Zhang Shouyue raised his eyebrows.

Gao Yuan smiled loudly, "Gong Zhang, do you think that Zhou Yuanning Zecheng and others will allow me to own Liaodong?" ”

Zhang Shouyue sat up straight all of a sudden, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Zhang Gong!" Gao Yuan said carefully: "The conquest of Donghu is naturally based on me and Zhang Gong's Liaoxi County as the vanguard, and the imperial court has a standing army to levy and distribute, collect salaries, prepare for duty, and always have to work hard, if everything goes well, when they come, it is just a good time to pick peaches." When the time comes, they will be strong and we will be weak, so naturally they will have the final say in everything. ”

Zhang Shouyue sneered, "I'm afraid it's not that easy." Gao Yuan, if you own Liaodong, I am based in Liaoxi, your father-in-law occupies Langya, we join forces in the three places, and it will inevitably be overwhelming. ”

"I have to talk about Liaodong after I have it!" Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "To be honest, Zhang Gong, now, I am more thinking about saving my life, Zhou Ning and the others, I have secretly calculated once, if I come for the second time, then this battle of Donghu is an excellent opportunity." ”

"You can rest assured of this, with me, I can't let them succeed." Zhang Shouyo pondered for a moment, "Now is the perfect time to fight Donghu, I have already obtained the exact information, my old opponent Miranda is about to die." Hey, after fighting him for half my life, this guy is finally going to die in front of me. ”

"Miranda is dying?" Gao Yuan straightened up suddenly, and the little wine he had left was gone.

Zhang Shouyue nodded heavily, "I haven't been in vain in the past few decades, and I still buried a few deep nails on the Donghu side." Miranda is now holding on, and in my opinion, once Miranda dies, there will inevitably be civil strife in Donghu. ”

"You mean, Thorpe vs. Sock brothers!" High and far-reaching.

"Not bad. Miranda is seriously ill, but she actually hides it from Sock. Instead of recruiting him back to Helin, he repeatedly gave orders to Suo Ke to launch an attack on your Fufeng. Do you know this? Zhang Shouyue said with a smile.

"Fufeng was not attacked!" High and far-reaching.

"Sock is certainly not a fool. The news I can get, he can naturally get it, so he took this opportunity to gather troops and horses in Yulin, but did not attack according to Helin's intentions. Zhang Shou smiled.

"What about Thorpe?"

"As I expected, Thorpe must be on his way back to Helin now!" Zhang Shouyu said: "Last time because of the loss of Yulin, Miranda had to punish Thorpe, but now it seems that Miranda really likes Thorpe, and Thorpe is in charge of Donghu, which is inevitable." ”

"Then Sok is bound to start a rebellion!"

"Soke may be already moving now, but Miranda is very scheming, and he has recruited all the chiefs and ministers of the major clans of Donghu to Helin, and Soke can gather only a limited number of elite soldiers, once the fight starts, Soke's defeat is certain. In addition, Thorpe is indeed much stronger than Soke, but there is almost no suspense in this brotherly dispute. ”

"Whether there is suspense or not, we can take advantage." Gao Yuan suddenly became excited, stood up and paced back and forth in the room for a few circles, "Gong Zhang, if we can take advantage of this opportunity and occupy Yulin in one fell swoop, it will be much easier for the next battle." ”

"The Liaoxi army is already starting to prepare, where are you, but are you ready?" Zhang Shouyo asked with a smile.

"Fufeng athletes, always waiting for the day!" Takato clenched his fists.

"That's good, but you don't have to rush, even so, you can't fight this year anyway. You, let's marry Ye Jing'er home in a down-to-earth manner first! Zhang Shouyue said with a smile.

Gao Yuan smiled to himself, compared to the old Zhang Shouyue, he still couldn't hold his breath after all, "Zhang Gong, it's not that I'm in a hurry, if we can take Yulin, it is equivalent to driving a big nail into the land of Liaodong. Yulin is so important, if it weren't for such a big problem within Donghu, how could we get him in our hands so easily? ”

"Didn't you succeed in the Thousand Miles raid back then?"

"That's not the same. What's more, that time I also hit and left, and I didn't even think about where to stay. Gao Yuan smiled, "This time, we have to fight with a knife and a gun, and we have to take root somewhere." (To be continued......)
