Chapter 524: Requirements
Listening to his father's words, Yan Peng was silent for a while. He had fought head-on with the East Army. Naturally, he knew how powerful his opponent was. He wanted to resist now, but because of the support of Hejian City, but now, this last layer of reliance is also being peeled off by Gao Yuan... Read the latest and most complete novel
"It's just Sun Jian and the others?" He hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly.
"You go and summon Sun Jian and others to me first." Yan Shenghao leaned on the chair tiredly and said softly.
"Did my father want to?"
"Zhou Yu kept them, naturally, wanted me to resist to the end. They didn't care whether I could beat them or not. All they cared about was whether I could consume some of my lofty strength. Forget the ordinary soldiers below, but Sun Jian and those lieutenants must be taken first." Yan Shengxu waved his hand, "If you go to them, I will discuss the matters about city defense. Now the new recruits they led are constantly in chaos, and there are the most problems. I think they won't be suspicious."
"I understand!" Yan Peng nodded and turned around and left.
Yan Shenghao sighed long and looked up and down at the lobby where he was. Soon, this room, which represents the highest power of Hejian County, no longer belongs to him.
A day later, the camp of the East Army outside the city welcomed a special guest. Yan Shenghao, the governor of Hejian County, rode alone, left the city and entered the lofty camp.
It was beyond Gao Yuan's expectations for Yan Shenghao to come here in person. From one aspect, this is also a very not simple person. He has his own uniqueness when he was able to take charge of Hejian County for many years.
The other party came calmly, and Gao Yuan naturally would not neglect him. He went out to greet him in person and welcomed him into his big tent.
"What can you give me?" The two sat down opposite each other, without any noise, Gao Yuan went straight to the topic. This question was extremely tricky. At present, Hejian County, except for the county town, all other places fell into Gao Yuan's hands, and Yan Shenghao did not have many bargaining chips.
Looking at the opponent in front of him who had been younger than him for decades, Yan Shenghao felt a lot of emotion. Since several years ago, he received a letter from Ning Zecheng and sent an army to search Gao Yuan in the name of sweeping the Huns, but actually searching Gao Yuan. He had bad luck, and one elite soldiers and generals after another were destroyed in the hands of this person. Until today, the opponent's troops were at the city and he was at a loss. The reliance he thought at the time had now become a prisoner, and the two new generations of rising people, Zhou Yu and Tan Feng, were even more stern than Ning Zhou and the other two, and he had become an abandoned son and a dying prey who could use it for the last time.
"I can give you a complete Hejian County City!" Yan Shenghao said slowly: "I can also give you a legitimate identity. You should understand that I, Yan, have been in Hejian County for decades, and always have some strength and reputation. You have just gotten to Hejian County City with legitimate reputation. It is much better than the robbery from outsiders. I don't know if you care about reputation, but a good reputation is always much better than a bad reputation. Right?"
Listening to Yan Shenghao's words, Gao Yuan laughed and applauded softly. "Well said it. But is that all?"
"Of course not only, I still have 4,000 elite soldiers!" Yan Shenghao stared at Gao Yuan: "General Gao, you can do your best to face me, so please, but you know clearly who your enemy is? Now, you should be a Donghu person!"
Gao Yuan's smile slightly retracted: "So what?"
"Although the Donghu people won a big battle with Dayan, they also paid a huge price. Especially the tactics they used, which caused huge damage to the economy of their ruling areas. Now Donghu is not an exaggeration to describe it as hunger and cold. After this winter, they will come out. What should they do? Naturally, they have to grab it. General Gao, if you occupy western Liaoning, you will inevitably have to fight head-on with the other side. Maybe western Liaoning will become a battlefield. This is the reason why you must take Hejian County as your stable rear?"
"You're right!" Gao Yuan leaned forward, "There is indeed a reason. Donghu's power is much stronger than me. I need more land, more people, and more wealth to fight against them."
"Yes, you need this, but you are even short of soldiers now. In the past few months, I have also received a lot of intelligence and calculated your troops in detail. You don't have many soldiers under your command now, and you will never exceed 20,000 people. What you want to deal with is Donghu with 100,000 troops. My remaining four thousand elite soldiers are definitely what you need. Although they have suffered a defeat at your hands, it does not mean that they cannot fight." Yan Shenghao said: "Is these enough?"
"What do you want?" Looking at Yan Shenghao, Gao Yuan gradually put away his contempt. As expected, none of them were easy-to-use lamps, and they had a clear plan.
"I heard that General Gao built a large-scale Jishi City in the grassland. It is green like the sea in spring and summer, and snow in winter. The landscape is very magnificent. Where does Yan want to find a private house? Spring comes and spring comes and winter comes and enjoy the snow. I wonder if it is possible?" Yan Shengxu looked at Gao Yuan and said.
This is to take your body as the quality. Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Ji Shi City is very big. If County Governor Yan wants to settle down, Gao will naturally welcome him. I wonder what other requirements does County Governor Yan have?"
"My son Yan Peng is over thirty years old and cannot be called a general. It may be difficult to stand alone, but as a general who charges, he is still very qualified. My requirement is that these four thousand Hejian County soldiers are led by him to serve the general. As for what he can do in the future, he needs to work hard by himself, and I can't control it."
Gao Yuan laughed, "Mr. Yan must have a very detailed understanding of our Eastern Army. We should know that the Eastern Army is a mixed-in-command."
"There are exceptions for everything." Yan Shenghao shook his head and said, "This is my requirement. The only requirement."
"Mr. Yan, aren't you afraid that I will agree to you now. After you arrive in Jishi City and Yan Peng leads his army to join the Eastern Expedition Army, will I take action to slowly divide your army?"
"At that time, the soldiers of Hejian County were already your army." Yan Shenghao smiled, "What's more, I think General Gao has lofty ambitions and should have a greater goal. He will not break his promise and become a colder person."
"Hejian County soldiers formed their own line, how can I restrict them?" Gao Yuan crossed his fingers and looked at Yan Shengxu with a smile.
"If you want to restrict your followers, you will naturally be stronger than them. General Gao. If your strength has always been above everyone else, will those who follow you have a second heart? On the contrary, even if you want to restrict them, can you restrain them? You only have a county, and all the soldiers are brought out by you by yourself. But when you want to go further in the future, do you still have this energy, this courage, every soldier, and every general appoint your direct line? No, General Gao, you need to accommodate more people. Among these people, there may be those who truly follow you, some who want to follow you, and some who want to benefit from it, and some who may add icing on the cake, and there will be no lack of ulterior motives."
"Well said, well said!" Gao Yuan stood up with a big laugh, "Then, what kind of person are you?"
"I, now I should be very contradictory. First, I am forced to do so. Now if I don't surrender to you, I will die, and Yan's family will perish. Second, in the situation of Yan State, I also like you. Maybe you can become a generation of heroes. Of course, if you can really defeat the Donghu people and regain the land of Liaodong, then I will follow you wholeheartedly, because I know that if you can do this, Yan Peng will follow you, and there will inevitably be a bright future." Yan Shengxu said: "Don't say secret words in front of the bright people. Now I say I am convinced by you and wholeheartedly, do you believe it?"
"Okay, very good, Jun Yan, I underestimated you before, but I'm very surprised. You should not be an incompetent person, but why did you manage Hejian County like this now?"
"It is difficult to return to the heavy burden. I can't break the old ones. I am satisfied with my current state. Without judging the current situation, failure is naturally inevitable. It is natural to reflect on things afterwards. But if you have foresight, how many people can there be in the world? I am not a foolish person, but I am not a wise and decisive person. In this turbulent era, it is natural to be eliminated."
"I promise you that Yan Peng will form a unit of his own with four thousand Hejian County soldiers. However, as you said, my opponent next is Donghu people, so they will go to the Donghu front line. He needs to prove his value with military achievements. Don't worry, as long as I get under my command, I will treat him equally. I will not look at the Hejian County soldiers because of your words, and even intend to destroy them. I am not Ning Zecheng or Zhou Yuan." Gao Yuan took the case with both hands and looked at Yan Shenghao: "I will give Yan Peng a chance, and I will also convince you."
Yan Shenghao stood up, "Since that's the case, the deal is completed, after returning to the city, I will pack up my luggage, pack up my greetings, and go back to Jishi City with you."
"Jishi City will welcome your stay. Wherever you will see a different world!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"When Zhou Yu crossed Hejian County and went to Yuyang, he left me a teaching team of 500 people. Now these people have been taken down by me. What are you going to deal with them?"
"Let them go back." Gao Yuan said unquestionably: "After all, they are all Dayan people. Killing them will be of no benefit to me. If you let them go back, maybe they can do something for Dayan!"
"Are you still loyal to Dayan?" Yan Shenghao's tone was slightly sarcastic.
"Now Dayan still needs me, and I need him too!" Gao Yuan said meaningfully: "It's like a couple who have broken down and separated, but for the sake of their children, they still have to live a life of being in harmony with each other."
"When the child grows up, it's time for the real break?"
