Wulong City was taken down, and Yincuo's soldiers cheered and rushed into the city along the wide open city gate. Soon, the city was full of soldiers. They quickly wiped out the fires raging on the city tower, and then stood on the city walls to celebrate the victory. More soldiers rushed in, and some places where the fires in the city quickly turned into curling black smoke. The smoke columns went straight into the clear sky, blocking the bright sunshine.

Tan Feng did not enter the city, but sat on the ground with some dementia, looking at Wulong County City not far away. Wulong took it and Tai'an also took it. However, without the Yingchuan County, which he had worked hard to build a camp for many years, how could he gain a foothold?

What's more, will Gao Yuan give himself another five years to change these two places calmly? It's impossible, even if Gao Yuan doesn't attack, will he tolerate himself occupying here? It's impossible. If he has the wealthy Yingchuan County as a backing, he will not be afraid of him. But now, how can two broken counties with people's livelihood support support their tens of thousands of soldiers?

They have been raising themselves in recent years, but they are not the former Qin army. Giving some pitiful salary, three meals a day and a vague prospect can motivate them to fight desperately for the Former Qin army. This army was raised with silver, and then more money will be needed to support them in the future.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

Suddenly, Tan Feng understood why Gao Yuan did not rush to attack Qin under such a strong situation, because wars were really expensive and raising soldiers was really expensive! It was not that Gao Yuan did not want to rush to take over Qin, but because he could not afford such an expensive war. With the strength of the Han Dynasty and the vast territory, he had to rest for several years to fight a big battle, and his strength was far inferior to his opponent, so what could he use to fight?

Tan Feng felt that he had fallen into a high-altitude trap. Over the years, he had imitated his national policy and tried his best to build Yingchuan into a place that was not much different from the Han Dynasty, and to build his army like the Han army, but in the end, he fell into trouble.

Gao Yuan must have already set his sights on his Yingchuan County a long time ago, otherwise he would not be able to explain why he suddenly appeared in Yingshui.

"Gao Yuan, you really respect me. Mr. Tan, who only owns a mere county, actually wants you to lead the army in person?" Tan Feng suddenly laughed out loud. The soldiers on the side were so scared that their faces changed drastically. The general was stimulated. Are you going crazy?

Yin Cuo's face was a little decisive. Looking at Tan Feng, he said fiercely: "General, our main force is here with Tai'an, concentrate our strength, fight back, and take back Yingchuan." As the general of Yingchuan County, he naturally knew the importance of Yingchuan County to their army.

"Get back?" Tan Feng sighed, "Do you think Gao Yuan will give us this opportunity? This person made up his mind and then acted. Since he had already taken action, the next move must come in endlessly. Now we should not be fighting back, but how to survive. If I had a good idea, their follow-up troops would have arrived in Yingchuan County long ago, and in the rear, the main troops were arriving continuously. Not only can we not take back Yingchuan County, but even Wulong and Tai'an that had just been captured, they would also have to make wedding clothes for others. Gao Yuan is really good at planning. I tried my best to take down Wulong and Tai'an, but in the blink of an eye, I had to give him both hands."

"General, even if we cannot take back Yingchuan, we cannot give up Wulong and Tai'an. If we give up these two places, where will we go? We will not have our own territory. Even if we do not protect Wulong, we must protect Tai'an. Tai'an is in a hurry. As long as we master it, we still have the opportunity to make a comeback. The general can build Tai'an into Yingchuan County again!"

Tan Feng stood up, "Do you think there is still a possibility? Why is Yingchuan rich? It is because we are constantly trading with the Han people. A large amount of Han goods spread across the country through Yingchuan, bringing wealth to Yingchuan, making our finances very abundant. This is our capital to govern Yingchuan. Do you think Gao Yuan will give me this opportunity in the future? As long as he touches his lips gently, a trace of Han goods will not flow over again. Furthermore, Tai'an is indeed in a hurry, and it is not easy to defend because of the location to rush. This is a piece of fat meat. Who doesn't want it? If Yingchuan's financial support and Wulong's flank cover and buffer, I have the confidence to defend Tai'an, but neither of them is gone. How can a Tai'an be our foothold? That may only be our death place."

Yin Cuo opened his mouth and listened to Tan Feng's words, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"I was treated as a pig by Gao Yuan. I was fattened and could be killed, so I slaughtered it without hesitation to eat meat. It's ridiculous that I was also excited and thought I was smart and earned money from the Han people to equip my own army and manage my territory. Unexpectedly, this was all done for him Gao Yuan!" The smile on Tan Feng's face gradually solidified, bitter and angry, which made his face look very distorted, and his painful appearance made the people around him shudder.

Tan Feng believed that he was one of the few intelligent people in this world, and he could look down on him. Even the road was not worth much in his eyes. If it weren't for Li Ru's support, the scholar would have died many times long ago. But now, the cruel reality ruthlessly hit his self-confidence. He was actually raised as a pig for a long time. Not only did he not know it, but he also thought he was scheming every day. This is really a great irony.

He walked a few steps shakingly, his face turned pale, and suddenly he opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"General!" Yin Cuo and the guards around him were both shocked and rushed towards him.

"It's okay, it's okay!" With a knife on the ground, Tan Feng stood up straight and looked at the sky with his face raised. "I won't admit defeat so easily. I still have tens of thousands of soldiers. I still have a try. I will never admit defeat. Gao Yuan, I still have a chance to compete with you."

Yin Cuo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, General, although we lost Yingchuan County, our army's main force still exists, and we did not lose."

"Yincuo, order your troops to take away everything that can be taken away by Wulong County, including food, gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, and anything that can be used, including males and males who are higher than horse whip, except for those old and weak, take away all of them, not only Wulong County, but also the Fucheng County below. I will give you a month to move all the things that can be moved to Tai'an first." A hint of redness flashed across Tan Feng's face.

"Yes, General, I understand." Yin Cuo thought Tan Feng had finally figured it out and wanted to stick to Tai'an, so he couldn't help but smile, but he ignored the word "first" in Tan Feng's last sentence.

"I want to leave Gao Yuan a broken Wulong, who has nothing. Gao Yuan, a hypocrite, will definitely slow down his progress and gain valuable time for our next step of deployment. Yin Cuo, don't forget that when I left, I will burn all the crops in the field to white ground. I want to make Wulong this year, after autumn, not a grain of food." Tan Feng said viciously.

Yin Cuo shivered, looked at Tan Fenghong's eyes, and shouted: "As for the order of the general, leave nothing."

Tan Feng did not enter the newly captured Wulong County City, and directly led his personal troops to return to Tai'an in a hurry, just like he was in a hurry when he came.

In Yingshui County, in the division headquarters of the 88th Division, Gao Yuan was meeting the latest Han army unit who arrived here, the famous ghost-faced general Gu Li, and the only female general among the active Han troops.

"Guli is worthy of being Guli. Your Hun cavalry division's progress is always the fastest. This makes Gongsun Yi and Agu Huaien convinced!" Looking at Guli standing in front of him with a helmet, Gao Yuan laughed loudly. "You are five days earlier than the time I planned."

Gu Li smiled, "The Huns Cavalry Division is ready to serve the king at any time. The march is like wind and fire, and the battle is like thunder. This is the king's message to the Huns Cavalry Division. We are always implementing this sentence. Moreover, if we can move forward in such a way, we must be able to provide timely supplies along the way."

Hearing Gu Fan's words, Gao Yuan laughed again, "I believe that after you pass by, the officials at the supply station will definitely scold you loudly, because you made them busy, and they would definitely not have imagined that you will be so fast."

"If they are really in a hurry, I think the king should punish them. They should have emergency plans. If there is not even this, the director of the Supply Department should be replaced."

"It's right. If you can't deal with the unexpected situation, you should indeed replace people. But now it seems that they are doing well. Ye Chong will definitely come to me to seek credit, and by the way, mutter a few words that you didn't act according to the pre-plan." Gao Yuan smiled.

"Guli thought that the king must now need a cavalry to become a fast strike force, so he accelerated his progress." Guli said.

"You are right. With my understanding of Tan Feng, he will definitely do something. Yingchuan will not come back. He knows that when he comes back, he will try his best to delay my actions. The most effective thing is to destroy Wulong. I need your cavalry division to rush to Wulong and try to protect it as much as possible, so as not to let Tan Feng destroy it out of control. There, the next thing is the territory of our great man. I don't want it to be a scorched earth there." Gao Yuan said: "In addition, making it impossible for them to get too much from Wulong will also help us force him to follow the path we set for him."

"Guli obeys the order." (To be continued.)
