Ye Zhen secretly liked it, but his face was quite disapproving, "This bargaining chip is not enough for us, although our department really can't swallow Kong Debu, but delaying his return can be done, as long as he is dragged in Yuyang." ”

"It is definitely not enough to drag him in Yuyang, as long as Kong De's army exists, it will contain a part of your strength, Gao Du Du wants to change the dynasty, then I don't know how long it will be delayed, and it will change later, this reason, I think General Ye Zhen understands, you got the Anlu iron ore to ensure that you are not controlled by others on the iron ore resources, and there is no Kong De, a brave and warlike soldier, of course, you will also get the friendship of General Zhou Changshou." Zhao Guang is good at persuasion.

"It sounds tempting, but how can I trust General Zhou Changshou's sincerity?" Ye Zhen shook his head and said, "For things that are uncertain, I have always stayed away. ”

"China's internal affairs, I think your ministry is very clear, because of this matter, from beginning to end, your ministry is involved, Zhao Mu Zhao Taiwei died unexplained, Zhao Qi grasped the power, and colluded with Jing Rufeng of the Hedong battalion, covering the sky with one hand, like me, Wu Zeng's old department of Zhao Taiwei, have been suppressed by different Cheng dù, General Wu Zeng is in the Hedong battalion, almost has been idle, the military power has been deprived, General Zhou Changshou is now stationed in the whole city, there are still 20,000 soldiers who dare to fight, but Zhao Qi's person, How can he leave General Zhou to control the military power for a long time, and when he frees his hands from Daijun, he will inevitably deal with General Zhou Changshou, so General Zhou Changshou must make a great contribution, so that Zhao Qi no longer has any reason to dare to move General Zhou's great merit, right now, in addition to taking Yuyang, what else can do this, you know, even when Taiwei Zhao is alive. Didn't take Yuyang either! Zhao Guang said very sincerely, "This is a good thing for your ministry and for us." After Gao Du Du took the entire territory of Yan Kingdom, we will still be neighbors, and we will still have to deal with each other, so I said, you get the friendship of General Zhou Changshou, which will also be beneficial to our two countries in the future. I think that Gao Du Du would never want an enemy like Zhao Qi to hold the power of Zhao State, right? ”

Ye Zhen snickered in his heart, secretly saying that the Governor of Gaodu wished that someone like Zhao Qi would hold the power of Zhao State. Over the years, the governor has worked hard and used Zhao Qi to remove Zhao Mu and Zilan, the two big stones that block the road, what is the reason? The ambition of the governor is just to change the dynasty in the Yan Kingdom? You're underestimating the Governor.

Yan Guo, we definitely want it, but in the future, Zhao Guo will not be our goal.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "This incident is quite big. I can't be in charge, I need to report to Zhengdong Mansion and wait for the Governor's instructions before I can act. ”

Zhao Guang was a little anxious. "General Ye Zhen, without further ado, Kong De's retreat is just overnight. Once he is gone, there will never be such a chance again. Whether this place is far away from all the places where the governor is now, or to your stone city, it is a long way, come and go, it takes a lot of time, and the general is also a figure on the ruling side, at such a moment, how can you shrink back and watch the great opportunity slip away, if this is the case, I am afraid that the governor will also complain about you later, right? ”

Ye Zhen just shook his head, "It's a big trouble, General Zhao Guang, you let me think about it for a few days, and I will also discuss this issue with my generals, to be honest, this matter cannot be carried on my shoulders alone." ”

Zhao Guang wanted to persuade a few more words, but Ye Zhen stood up, "General Zhao Guang, please, I have arranged a place for you to rest, if you need anything, just ask to bow down." ”

Zhao Guang was helpless, and shook his fist at Ye Zhen, "Please General Ye Zhen make a decision as soon as possible, don't miss the opportunity." ”

"I'll think about it." Ye Zhen nodded. Looking at the back of Zhao Guang leaving, the smile on Ye Zhen's face became stronger and stronger.

It was enough to cool Zhao Guang for three days, just when Zhao Guang could no longer bear it, Ye Zhen was late, and went directly to Zhao Guang's big tent to rest, without any nonsense, Ye Zhen went straight in, "In the past few days, I have repeatedly discussed with my subordinates, and I feel that General Zhou Changshou's mention is feasible, so, this matter, I agreed, of course, I have already written the document and sent it to the Gaodu Governor and Zhengdong Mansion, what are the consequences of this matter, I will also bear it alone, General Zhao Guang, please tell General Zhou Changshou when you go back, We want his friendship. ”

Zhao Guang, who was already anxious and almost desperate, suddenly fell from the sky, and was immediately overjoyed, and agreed without a mouth, "Okay, good, General Ye Zhen really has someone to bear, I will go back immediately, before Kong De retreats, he will inevitably launch a fierce attack to confuse General Ye Zhen, and ask General Ye Zhen to be careful." ”

"Don't worry, in the war, I really haven't been afraid of anyone in the Eastern Army." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

Three days later, when Zhao Guang returned to the city, Kong De really launched a full-scale attack from Anlu to Xinhui, nearly 20,000 troops divided into three roads, from three different directions to launch a fierce attack on Xinhui, and at the same time, Kong De's Chinese army has begun to retreat, after a few days of onslaught, successfully forced the Zhengdong Army to retreat to Xinhui County, the three armies immediately began to retreat alternately, I have to say, Kong De fought in a very disciplined manner, when the three departments took turns to retreat, from time to time they would suddenly coordinate to carry out a counterattack on the trailing Zhengdong Army, Zeng Xianyi suffered a big loss in such a sudden counterattack, losing hundreds of people, and was reprimanded by Ye Zhenhao.

And when the two armies were in full swing, Zhao Guang quietly returned to the city and reported this trip to Xinhui to Zhou Changshou.

"General Zhou, do we fully trust the Eastern Army?" Zhao Guang asked.

"Why can't you trust it?" Zhou Changshou looked at the other party, "If you go, the other party immediately agreed, I really want to doubt it, but since they have been discussing it for three days, it can be seen that they have different views on this matter, and because of this, I believe that they will indeed seize this opportunity, which is indeed a rare opportunity for Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan wants to take down the entire territory of Yan Kingdom, and he will be the master of the house, Kong De's tens of thousands of soldiers are indeed a great threat to him, You must know that now Zhao Yuanwei only has 20,000 horses in Jicheng, and it is impossible for these 20,000 people to take Jicheng, what he can do is to use the mobility advantage of the cavalry to trap the other party in the city and not come out, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Jicheng, and food will inevitably become a big problem in the siege, if Kong De's department can't go back, Jicheng will face a desperate situation. All trapped by life and death. ”

"What about Hu Yanchao?"

"I bet with you, Hu Yanchao will never be able to reach Tianhe, Ye Chong is not a good person, since he sent troops to attack Langya, how can he not succeed, Kunshan Pass has not been beaten for so long, I have been wondering what tricks this Ye Chong is playing? Don't worry, Zhao Guang, no matter whether the opponent is really trading with us or not, this time, we also have to take a risk, rather than waiting to be played to death by Zhao Qi and Jing Rufeng in the end, it is better to give up all our net worth, take it out and give it a fight, succeed, the wealth and wealth in the second half of our lives will extend to our children and grandchildren, if we lose, it will only advance our fate. Zhou Changshou said lightly.

Listening to Zhou Changshou's psychology like a gambler, Zhao Guang couldn't help but shudder. "General Zhou, you attack, I'll stay and guard the whole city!"

Zhou Changshou shook his head slowly, "This time I attack, I will inevitably give everything I have, the garrisons of the five cities, I will take them all, what is the use of you staying?" We only have 20,000 troops in total, and Comte has more troops than we do, so even if we take him by surprise, it will not work if there are fewer people. ”

"What if the Five Cities are lost?"

"Who's going to take the five cities?" Zhou Changshou asked rhetorically: "Ye Zhen is only afraid that after he is more anxious to defeat Kong De now, he will go to Jicheng for reinforcements immediately." Jicheng, where is such a huge pie placed, how could they leave this and not take it, and come to pick up such a small place as the whole city? If they really do this, we will go back and fight with him, Kong De will take the opportunity to run to Jicheng, what is Ye Zhentu? ”

Listening to Zhou Changshou's words, Zhao Guang was silent, Zhou Changshou's words made sense, if the Eastern Army really came to plot against their five cities, then Zhao Jun could have let Kong De leave and turn his head to settle accounts with them, then Ye Zhen really could have gained nothing, and the mutton was not eaten, but he made a commotion.

For the sake of his future fate, the high-spirited Zhou Changshou gave it a go, led the garrison of the whole city and other five cities, and left himself, preparing to set up a huge encirclement halfway through, give Kong De a fatal blow, and then take advantage of the situation to take the entire territory of Yuyang.

And Ye Zhen, at this time, stood on the recovered Anlu city wall, watching the last Yan army flag disappear in the distance, and behind him, a group of Zhengdong troops were rushing in, Anlu, just lost for a few months, and then returned to the hands of the Zhengdong army.

"Niu Ben, has everything been arranged?"

"It's arranged!" Beside Ye Zhen, Niu Ben, who was dressed in civilian clothes, nodded and said: "Our nail in Zhao Jun will appear in front of Kong De at an excellent moment, and tell him about Zhou Changshou's scheme, isn't Zhou Changshou going to ambush, let's make this ambush a face-to-face exchange between them." ”

"Can Comte trust him?"

"This person is Yan Lingwei's person, a nail we planted before, the identity is undoubted, and such a thing, Kong De would rather believe it than believe it." Niu Ben said with a smile: "Let them fight a bad battle, Zhou Changshou thought that we didn't dare to take the five cities, but we just had to go, when the time comes, it won't be so easy for him to get out!"
