Inside the big tent, the brazier was burning vigorously. The dark blue flames and thick tent blocked the cold air outside. Gao Yuan sat by the brazier and listened to Ye Zhen telling the last side of his relationship with Ye Tiannan and his wife.

"Ye Xiang said, he wants to give you an excuse." Ye Chong's eyes were still full of pain, "I could have forced them away, but I followed the prime minister for so long and understood his personality. Since he had decided, he would not change again. General Gao, Ye Xiang gave you an excuse with his death, and at the same time, he also wanted to give the Ye family a new future."

Gao Yuan nodded, "I understand. I understand. General Ye, Jing'er is my wife, and Feng'er, you also know that he has had a good relationship with me since he was a child."

Ye Chong stood up and bowed deeply to Gao Yuan, "I'll thank you for yours for Ye."

"Ye is also my relative, why bother thanking me? General Ye, what are you planning next?" Gao Yuan reached out and poked the charcoal fire in the basin. The flame suddenly turned red and rose.

"The lady is the general's wife, and the young master also asks the general to take care of him. Ye Chong was originally a retainer of the Ye family, so he should follow the lady and the young master to serve the general!" Ye Chong said: "I just hope that the general will not dislike my low-skilledness."

Gao Yuan laughed, "General Ye Chong is too humble. You are a famous general in the world. In terms of personal force, I am afraid that only I can compete with you. In terms of military strategy, Meng Chong may be able to compete with you, but in terms of knowledge and understanding of generals and military forces in various countries, my military generals are unmatched. If General Ye Chong is willing to join our army, he will be the number one general under my command."

"I dare not take it, I just hope to be able to work hard for the general, help the general succeed, and lay a good foundation for the resurgence of our Ye family in the future." Ye Chong said.

Gao Yuan leaned back, looked at Ye Chong, and asked, "I wonder what is the goal of the Ye family's re-rise in General Ye's heart?"

"Regain the Langya, which belongs to the Ye family." Ye Chong said without hesitation.

Gao Yuan touched the corner of his mouth slightly, reached out and flipped over the charcoal fire that was burning in the charcoal basin, disrupting them. Then he combined them one by one again. After he tossed and struggled, sparks splashed everywhere in the brazier and a splash of Venus danced, he returned to his calmness.

Looking at Gao Yuan's appearance, Ye Chong felt that Gao Yuan was a little dissatisfied. "What do you think?"

"What do you think of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu? What do you think of what they planned and what they are doing now?" Gao Yuan suddenly changed the topic.

Ye Chong was stunned and did not react for a while. Gao Yuan's thinking jumped too hard, so why did he suddenly turn to Tan Zhou and the other ones?

Gao Yuan looked up and glanced at him.

"These two people will become sinners of Yan State." Ye Chong thought for a moment. "They have now messed up Yan State. These two people are doing everything they can to get ahead. The decline of Yan State must have arisen because of the two."

Gao Yuan shook his head out of reach, "If I said I admire these two people very much, would you find it strange?"

"The general attaches importance to his talent! Of course these two people are talented people, but it is precisely because of their talent that they have made Yan State look like this!" Ye Chong said.

"No, Yan State is already terminally ill. Tan Feng and Zhou Yu's move are like treating a seriously ill person. Although they are given medicine for tigers and wolves, it is possible that Yan State collapses because of its strong power, but it is also possible that Yan State can eliminate stubborn diseases, regain vitality, and truly become a powerful country." Gao Yuan looked at Ye Chong and said word by word.

Ye Chong looked at Gao Yuan in silence. In his opinion, it was because Tan Feng and Zhou Yu directed the crisis of Yan State that Ye lost Langya and Ye Tiannan and his wife died. In his eyes, these two people are the well-deserved culprits.

"The Qin State was originally weaker than Zhao, Chu, Yan and Qi, but why has the national strength improved rapidly in recent decades and ranked first among all countries, and this strength is still gradually increasing. Have you ever thought about this question, General Ye? Has his father-in-law never talked to you?" Gao Yuan asked.

Ye Chong was stunned for a moment before saying, "I've talked about it."

"What did my father-in-law say?"

"Ye Xiang said that the Qin people weakened the power of the ministers, greatly strengthened the power of the king, and created a powerful centralized country that could gather the manpower and material resources of the whole country to devote themselves to a certain matter. Therefore, in terms of national strength, especially military strength, it has made a great leap and surpassed the countries." Ye Chong said: "But Ye Xiang also said that such an approach would enrich the country but suffer the people. It is not a good country. More importantly, the power of the country will gradually be concentrated in the hands of the king under such a system. It would be fine if the king was a wise king, but once a fool came to power, it would be a disaster for the entire country. It is not a blessing for the country to hold the safety of a country in one's hands."

Gao Yuan nodded, "My father-in-law's vision is really accurate, and he looks at the problem very sharply. He accurately found the biggest problem of the system implemented by Qin. But Ye Chong, you should understand that a system may be the best in this era, but in another era, he may be the worst. As of now, the system implemented by Qin is undoubtedly the most suitable for this era, so he is the strongest."

Ye Zhong was shocked. He already understood what Gao Yuan was thinking.

"What Tan Feng and Zhou Yu were seeking was to establish such a centralized country in Yan State. Their previous series of plans were all doing the same thing, removing feudalism and taking over those private fiefs into the country one by one. The first two were the largest real power figures in Yan State, Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng. In obedience, they succeeded. If this conquest of Donghu was successful, they would be the biggest heroes of the country."

"If the conquest of Donghu is successful, Zhou Yuan's voice will inevitably become more prominent. How can they move Zhou Yuan!" Ye Chong asked back.

"Of course I can move." Gao Yuan smiled, "If the conquest of Donghu is successful, Zhou Yuan will definitely deal with me and kill me. This is a living crime. With Zhou Yu in the middle, Tan Feng attacks from outside. It can be said that if Zhou Yuan really succeeds, when he returns to China happily and reaches the peak of his life, it is also the moment when he falls from a high place. But human calculations are not as good as God's plan. Taking advantage of the civil strife to attack Donghu, Miranda beats a target and returns home. They miscalculated my strength, thinking of taking this opportunity to take back Langya, and make up for the losses outside the dike, which led to their defeat. It is not that they are not planning closely, but that God does not allow it!"

"But this failure still led to serious consequences. One hundred thousand permanent troops defeated the Donghu, and the Donghu people would attack Yan State at any time." Ye Chong said unconvincedly.

"No, no!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "You probably don't know that Donghu has already negotiated peace with Dayan. The conditions are unexpectedly generous. It seems that the Donghu people were defeated and lost. Thorp is a character. He ended as soon as he was good. It is really a difficult guy to deal with. Although Donghu won this battle, they were actually seriously injured, especially when they liquidated Sok. Although Miranda had complete plans and minimized the losses, the one who died was the big prince of Donghu. I am afraid that only the Donghu people themselves knew the real losses inside. And rushing troops to attack Dayan

The Donghu people were also powerless. When they attacked Yan State, they had to face a strong city, which was the biggest soft threat of the Donghu people. The Donghu's economic strength did not allow them to do this. The first thing Thorp had to do now was to take advantage of the prestige accumulated in this victory to integrate the entire Donghu tribes in one fell swoop, establish his prestige that was not inferior to Miranda, and then revitalize the people's livelihood in the country. Then, they would think of expanding the territory and invading the Central Plains. I am afraid that what Thorp wanted now was not to attack Yan State, but to eat the grassland. If so, I would become his biggest enemy."

Ye Chong was silent for a moment, "General is saying that if you succeed, Langya will not have the surname Ye."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Yes. The system of feudalization has become a shackle that restricts the growth of a country's strength. His existence has violated the trend of history, and extinction is inevitable. General Ye Chong, if you have traveled to various countries, you should know how to look at things longer and stand higher."

"Ye Xiang's wish to revive the Ye family before his death!" Ye Chong took a deep breath.

"Does it be necessary to revive the Ye family? " Gao Yuan smiled, "Langya may be very big and very good in Yan State, but looking at the world, it is just a small place. General Ye, I said before, if you join, you will be the number one general under my command, Jing'er is my wife, Feng'er and I are brothers and sisters. On the day I succeed, the Ye family will naturally become the first family under me."

Ye Chong took a breath, "Look at the world?"

"Yes, look at the world!" Gao Yuan said firmly, and still stood up and paced back and forth in the big tent. "The Qin people had the ambition to sweep the world, why didn't we? I know what you want to say. We are still very weak now, and we can't even compete with Yan State, let alone face Qin State. But Ye Chong, I tell you, Shi Ye is in a state of chaos, and the time when the countries are fighting each other is not far away. At this time, when the storm gathers, how can we know that we are not good? They have their advantages, and we also have ours. Eight hundred years ago, the Great Zhou was not in a corner and had weak strength, but eventually unified the world and established a powerful kingdom. Decades ago, the Qin people were also so weak that they could be easily destroyed by Zhao State, but now you can take a look?"
