Yuezhou, Lianjiang Province.

Han Yuan did not take off his clothes, sitting in front of the lobby of the Yamen of the Fucheng City, and there were more than a dozen former Lianjiang Mansion guards kneeling in the hall, and after the defeat, they all became prisoners of Han Yuan.

These kneeling people are all willing to belong, and as for those who do not surrender to death, Han Yuan will naturally not be polite, and let them all be swordsmen.

The low combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese army was really beyond Han Yuan's expectations, he thought that these border troops from the north were only afraid that they would be difficult to deal with, but he did not expect that he was only facing a group of rabble with no military discipline. Oh, it's no wonder that the imperial court is pressed and beaten by the Kun people every year, and Zhou Ning took Zhongzhou so easily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't it providence that Benhou can take Lianjiang Mansion so easily? Those who know the times are Junjie, and you are all Junjie. Han Yuan seemed to be smiling, making it impossible to tell whether this was a compliment or a sarcasm, but everyone in the hall was his captive at the moment, who dared to ask.

Just when everyone was silent, suddenly a loud voice said: "Master Hou is destined to return, and he is invincible." If we can return to the Lord, this life will not be in vain. ”

Han Yuan looked at it fixedly, only to feel familiar, suddenly remembered, and said with a smile: "I'll just say why is it so kind, it turned out to be Brother Yao, last time I said goodbye to Chuzhou, I didn't expect to see you again today." ”

It turned out that the person who spoke was one of the generals sent by Yuezhou to Chuzhou to help Han Yuan confuse Bai Junwu, named Yao Yilong.

Yao Yilong was overjoyed, and said busily: "Hou Ye still remembers the little one, Yilong is really flattered, Yilong is willing to follow Hou Ye from now on, go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”

Han Yuan nodded and said approvingly: "You and I were old acquaintances, and now you obey the will of heaven and submit to me, so let's do it, from today on, you will be a member of my Chu army, what was the official position in the past, and what official position will it be in the future, the original subordinates are still under your control." ”

Yao Yilong almost suspected that he had heard it wrong, there were such good things in the world? As a captive, he was able to have such treatment, he knelt on the ground busily, kowtowed again and again, and said excitedly: "Yilong thank you Lord Hou for your trust, the so-called soldier is a confidant who dies, Lord Hou treats me like this, Yilong will definitely make contributions to Lord Hou in the future, and he will never give up!" ”

Seeing Yao Yilong's treatment, the others rushed to show their loyalty to Han Yuan, as if Han Yuan had come to rescue them in the first place.

For these people, Han Won naturally did not feel embarrassed, and gave them all appropriate positions. The won is now weak, especially the lack of talents, although these people are uneven, the won still accommodates them, and wants to play the role of buying horses' bones.

The offensive of the Chu army was really fierce, and after a month's break, it captured all a prefecture in the north of Yuezhou, and accepted no less than 30,000 surrendered troops.

Yuezhou was originally busy with infighting, dumping each other, and fighting to the death, and it was impossible to get along. Now that the Chu army suddenly made a difficulty, it took a province and five counties with a thunderous momentum, and the remaining generals saw that it was not good, and they temporarily put aside their grievances and reported to the group to warm up.

As a result, the offensive of the Chu army was gradually blocked, and the casualties were much larger than before.

…

Recently, in late autumn, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and there is a faint feeling of winter. Han Won understood the hard work of the soldiers, so he ordered the attack to be stopped, and at the same time made an armistice pact with the defenders of the remaining two provinces of Vietju.

After the armistice, Han Won did not make any other arrangements, but only let the soldiers rest and recuperate in peace, and he lived in the official residence of Fucheng every day.

There are many official residences in Liongang Province, the largest of which was built for the former owner of the city, but at this time it became a separate residence for the Korean won.

Han Won sometimes asks Zhu Yifeng for a drink, or a game.

The relationship between Zhu Yifeng and Han Yuan is like that of a minister and a master. It can be said that Zhu Yifeng at this time is the most trusted person by Han Yuan except for his younger brother.

Han Yuan will not say many words to others, but he can discuss with Zhu Yifeng without hesitation. However, no matter how much Ren Hanyuan trusts himself, Zhu Yifeng always distinguishes between the upper and lower when he gets along with him, and never surpasses the identity of a courtier.

Because of this, Han Won often feels lonely in his heart, and since Jiang Luoyue's death, this feeling has become stronger day by day.

Today, Han Yuan summoned Zhu Yifeng again, and at dusk, he also ordered someone to prepare wine and food, planning to leave Zhu Yifeng for dinner.

"Sir, what do you think about the future of the war?" Han Yuan asked casually while pouring wine for Zhu Yifeng.

"The lord asked knowingly." Zhu Yifeng stroked his long beard and said with a smile.

"Sir, it's okay." Han Yuan said lightly.

Zhu Yifeng suddenly realized that what he said to the lord before was really inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Yifeng lost his words. Yifeng thought that the lord stopped the war, but there were actually two reasons. First, now that the weather is getting cold, the soldiers have been fighting for several months and are already exhausted. Second, the Vietnamese army saw that the situation was not good, and now it has been forced to fight against the same enemy, and if our army postpones its offensive, it will not be long before it will be torn apart again. That's when we have a good chance to strike. ”

Han Yuan nodded, and asked again: "Mr. is right, I am bound to win this Yuezhou." But I want to ask Mr., what happens next after taking Yuezhou? The north and east are Zhou Ning's forces, and their soldiers are well fed, like behemoths. The West is Sun Xun, and it is also very difficult to deal with. In the south, there are some reckless hazelnuts, which are inaccessible. How to advance and retreat, please sir for guidance. ”

Zhu Yifeng said without thinking: "Without him, only quiet recuperation." The lord is both Keyue Prefecture, inevitably people are sleepy and lacking, and the treasury is empty, so it is advisable to lower his posture, recuperate, try to compromise and seek perfection, do not compete with the surroundings, and when the time is ripe, he will accumulate thick and thin, and make a blockbuster. ”

"Sir's words are reasonable, but Yuan is in a hurry." Han Yuan thought for a moment and said slowly.

He suddenly asked again: "Actually, I still have a question, I don't know if it is convenient for Mr. to answer?" ”

"My lord, excuse me, Yifeng knows everything." Zhu Yifeng still didn't think twice.

"Excuse me, sir, why are you still alone? Life is long, isn't there a person who likes two people? ”

When Zhu Yifeng heard this, he was stunned for a while, and sighed for a long time: "There are many old things, and it doesn't hurt to say that it is with the lord. In the past, when I didn't go to Beijing to catch the exam, there was indeed someone I liked, and I made an appointment with her that if I was in high school, I would go back and marry her. It's a pity ......"

"Is she married to someone else?" The won came to interest.

Zhu Yifeng shook his head and said, "I have been in Beijing for three years, and when I returned to my hometown, I learned that she had died of illness. ”

"Hmm. Yuan's sins reminded Mr. of many sad things. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Hasn't Sir considered another room?"

"Never."

"As the old saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, doesn't Mr. care?"

When Zhu Yifeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Although the truth is like this, but I don't have a place in my heart, do you want me to find a random woman to give birth to?" Besides, Yifeng is so old, what do you want to do? ”

Han Yuan stared at Zhu Yifeng for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out, even if you don't have a heart, it is impossible to be even a woman.

Zhu Yifeng knew what Han Yuan was thinking, shook his head, and said, "I understand the lord, the lord doesn't understand me." ”

After that, he realized that he had lost his words.

Han Yuan laughed dryly, and at this time, it happened that the wine and food were almost served, and the two stopped talking.
