Gao Changhou, who has always been resourceful, seems to have already thought of a strategy, "I have an idea, it may be very dangerous." But first, I would like to ask Brother Wang to set a general direction, our next step, is it to go, or to stay? ”

Although there is only a short question, King Yue closed his eyes and thought about it, he knew the weight of this sentence, and he knew that his answer might change the fate of countless people, change the fate of a country, and change the situation in the world.

Gao Changhou stood quietly aside, although he was stubborn in his heart and already had a choice, but he didn't want to disturb Brother Wang, he knew that his Brother Wang was the real master of the Yue Kingdom, he had his own judgment, and he didn't want any of his thoughts to interfere with his decision.

King Yue didn't think long before he spoke, but for Gao Changhou, it seemed so long, and finally heard King Yue's voice come word by word: "Brother, what do you think will be the ending if we withdraw from the army?" ”

Gao Changhou said without hesitation: "This war has greatly depleted the national strength of the Yue State, and if it does not get a greater land recovery, relying only on the strength of the Yue State, within 20 years, the Yue State will not be able to organize a large-scale northern expedition." And when the Yue Kingdom recovers, the gap with the Jinyang Dynasty will become bigger and bigger. ”

King Yue nodded and said, "Your analysis is very pertinent, so we inherited the century-old dream of Nanyue, and it is a pity to give up halfway, right?" There is a danger in staying, but wealth is in danger. ”

Speaking of this, King Yue suddenly drew his long sword and said, "This Northern Expedition, the blood will not be drained, and the oath will not stop!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Changhou breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "We are really brothers!" ”

King Yue stepped forward, held his brother's hand tightly, and said, "With my brother by my side, my heart is stable." After a pause, King Yue said vigorously, "My two sons, Ruan Hanwei and Ruan Hanchang, I also know their temperament, one is greedy for money, the other is lustful, and they can't become a big climate. What's more, your son Chengbang is young and promising, and when you are a hundred years old, I believe he will also be an excellent lord. ”

Rao is Gao Changhou is well-informed, the first time he heard such words, he was still a chill in his heart, such a sudden word, it was too important, Gao Changhou instinctively thought about it, worried that this was a temptation, because when it came to the issue of the successor, it was always complicated. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! Although Brother Wang's two sons are slower to enter the realm in terms of knowledge, they must be young, and if they are assisted, they can become great tools, and Jiande is willing to assist. If you succeed to the throne, don't mention it again! ”

King Yue smiled slightly, he knew what his younger brother was worried about, and said earnestly: "This world is the world of our Ruan family, not the world of me alone. In the past, I was still selfish, but after this incident, I understand more that the burden on my shoulders is heavy, and even if I can't magnify our country, I will never allow it to decline in our hands. Brother, I hope you can promise me. ”

Seeing that the Marquis of Gao Chang still seemed to be about to resign, King Yue clenched his hand and said: "What's more, I understand your heart, make you the crown prince, and hand over the Yue Kingdom to you after I am a hundred years old, which is definitely not a kind of enjoyment for you, but means endless hard work and responsibility." I want you to carry this burden. ”

Gao Changhou wanted to say something more, but he could feel the power and obsession in Brother Wang's hands, and after a long time, he finally nodded.

Seeing this scene, a complicated smile appeared on King Yue's face, some relieved and some thoughtful.

Gao Changhou also has a question in his heart, that is, he and King Yue are brothers, the age difference between the two is only three years, and after a hundred years of King Yue, he has also reached the end of his life, but he made himself the crown prince, what is the reason?

But King Yue didn't give Gao Changhou a chance to think about it, but said calmly: "The matter of making you the prince is so decided, and I will arrange the rest, other than that, I want to hear about this topic again." Marquis Gao Chang received the order, this is the king's order!"

Gao Changhou had to kneel down and obey the order.

King Yue said seriously: "I decided to stay and continue the war, what good idea does Brother Wang have?" ”

Gao Changhou has thought about this question countless times, and he said it endlessly at this moment: "The current situation, Heyang City has been controlled by He Nuo, he has Canglang cavalry in his hands, and the fierceness is far more loyal than our Nanyi cavalry, to be honest, if we go head-to-head now, we are not opponents." ”

Seeing that King Yue's face changed slightly, Gao Changhou continued: "We must face this point, He Nuo, this kid is very rich in leadership talents, and he is a descendant of the He family's royal family, and a group of capable warriors have gathered around him, I later concluded that the reason why we were defeated again and again was precisely because we ignored a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" King Yue was curious.

Marquis Gao Chang sighed, "Whether we admit it or not, the combat power of He Nuo's army should be second to none in the current Jinyang Dynasty." ”

"Oh?" King Yue was still a little unconvinced, and listened carefully to Gao Changhou's analysis.

"The group of young generals in He Nuo's army are very distinctive, and He Nuo can appoint them according to their characteristics, which is rare, in addition, the Canglang cavalry in Meng Xiaochen's hands is really terrible, the battle of Heyang, our lesson is deep enough. In the past, we despised He Nuo's army and regarded them as ordinary enemies, which led to repeated defeats, and it can be said that the current combat strength of He Nuo's army is comparable to that of the world-famous 'world's elite soldiers, unparalleled wind and clouds'. ”

King Yue still shook his head, but did not interrupt Gao Changhou.

"When we were on the Northern Expedition, the reason why we were able to defeat Fengyun was because we attached great importance to it, planned in advance, were careful every step of the way, and always cared about it, and finally won by taking advantage of the right time and place. And the first few times we gave He Nuojun at least the least attention, which led to repeated failures. ”

"What does Brother Wang mean?" King Yue seemed to understand.

Gao Changhou said firmly: "Avoid its edge, if we still attack Heyang City, we may die without a place to be buried, today's plan is to avoid the enemy's edge, and we will develop eastward." The Lan State in the east is relatively weak, the four sons of Jinyang, and the five people of the Lan State, but the land area is very large. What's more..."

Gao Changhou's voice was lowered, "At present, we only have three days of grain and grass left, if we reduce the supply of military food, we can indeed support some more time, but in the end, we will still sit on the mountain, and the Nanyi cavalry is not very loyal to us, if we let them go hungry, I am afraid they will not continue to work for us." So my suggestion is to immediately move the army eastward and use the territory of the Lan Kingdom to expand its power. ”

After all, King Yue is a generation of masters, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood another key link.
