Betrayaling a country that he served for decades and worked hard for it was a painful decision-making process for Zhou Yuan. Although he had agreed to Cao Tianci before, deep down he was not without struggle. On one side was the court he had been loyal to and the survival of his children and grandchildren. Zhou Yuan did not have this feeling in the past. He himself also felt that he was a dignified person who could sacrifice his family for everyone. But when he stepped down and returned to his hometown in Fenzhou, after spending a period of time, the weakest depths in his heart were finally infinitely amplified, especially the call of those young grandchildren's grandfather, which made his heart melt.

Looking at the pink and jade-like faces, Zhou Yuan could not bear to them that they would struggle to survive at the bottom of the future with muddy faces. Especially in the end, when the lofty Iron Cavalry stepped into Tianhe County and the soldiers were approaching Jicheng, he finally made the final decision, left Fenzhou and went to Hetao to earn the last contribution of his children and grandchildren in their lives.

He has now completely given up his fantasy about Jicheng. No matter how hard Zhou Yutanfeng struggled, he could not help Dayan, who was about to fall.

In addition to his descendants in his lineage, the old ship workers and family members of the entire shipyard. The four sea boats built in the past two years were packed and far away from the coast of Fenzhou, the four sea boats joined at the scheduled location, heading straight to western Liaoning. Kou Shuguang had already returned to handle the corresponding affairs in advance. As soon as the ship arrived at the destination, these ship workers could devote themselves to new work, and Zhou Yuan would naturally welcome him to Jishi City.

The Supervision Bureau has been operating this matter for more than two years, and it has finally produced fruitful fruits today, which makes everyone in the Supervision Bureau happy.

In Yuyang, Kong De occupied Anlu and marched into Xinhui. After driving the Eastern Army into the Luliang Mountains, the trouble also came. The first thing was in the rear, the Anlu mining area, where the miners caused trouble every few days, and the operation of the entire mining area almost came to a halt.

In Kongde's mind, these miners were restless guys organized by slaves, criminals and unemployed refugees. They could squeeze their labor to the fullest, dig out more ore and train more steel for themselves, but it was obvious that things were not as simple as he thought. After he took over Anlu, the riots of the miners here never stopped.

After some investigation, Kong De realized that after the Zhengdong Prefecture ruled this area, it gave the miners generous wages and paid according to work. The more they did, the more they got, which greatly stimulated these miners. It also made the miners here the most responsible when the Zhengdong Army controlled Anlu. As long as you were willing to use your strength, you could earn more money. With money, who would worry about causing trouble? After all, the people, as long as they had a bite of food, they would be very satisfied. What's more, the rewards given by the Zhengdong Army were extremely generous, with Some miners have saved a lot of money in the past two years and are about to work for another one or two years, so they left this place and went to Hetao, where they bought 180 acres of land and lived and worked in peace! I heard that the soldiers of the East Army who were on duty here often talked about the land in Hetao. The land there was so cheap. In the past, as long as you were willing to go, you would give you a free land. Now, although it is not possible and you have to collect money, you can buy 100 acres of land there, and in the mainland, you can buy up to four or five acres. What is the difference between this and giving away for free?

However, before the good dream was awake, Sun De came and the Eastern Army retreated. After Kong De came, everything returned to his old ways, and he was paid according to work. The little property he had saved before was also snatched away by the Yan soldiers. Everything returned to the starting point. Two years of hard work was wasted, and all the miners were filled with anger, resentment, and hostility.

First, they were passive and slackened, destroying tools, and then the guards guarding here raised their butcher knives without hesitation, and the blood stimulated all the miners. Under the instigation of those who were interested, armed resistance began in the huge mining area. The miners had hammers and iron chisels in their hands. The Yan army stationed here, caught off guard, suffered a heavy blow. Thousands of guardians were scattered in the huge mining area, just like a wave in the sea. Before it had splashed, they were ruthlessly swallowed.

Kong De, who was fighting fiercely with Ye Zhen, the main force of the Eastern Army in Xinhui, was shocked when he heard the news and had to stop the offensive and mobilize the army to suppress the rebellion. However, when he came back, the rebellious miners had disappeared without a trace. Kong De could no longer find that he had no other way than to appease the remaining miners, because the mining area also had to mine, and he also needed more iron ore and copper mines to build weapons. He could not kill all these miners. After symbolically killing several relatives of the rebels, Kong De had to process money for the miners, focus on appeasement, and stationed thousands of troops here to prevent the rebellion from happening again.

But in this way, he was no longer able to organize a large-scale attack on Ye Zhen, and the offensive and defensive momentum was easy to change. Ye Zhen, who had crossed Luliang Mountain, joined Naha and Zeng Xianyi's army and launched a large-scale counterattack towards Xinhui.

Within ten days, Kong De was forced to give up Xinhui and retreat to Anlu, but this was Kong De's bottom line. He had to defend Anlu and this mining area.

It was already mid-July, and at this time, the order from Jicheng arrived, abandon Anlu, and the entire army returned to Tianhe County, returned to Jicheng, and drove Gao Yuan back to Hejian.

Holding this order, Kong De was in tears. He started an attack from Yuyang and paid the price of thousands of people to achieve the current results. But now, with a order, the price he had paid before will be gone.

Is it so easy to retreat, and to retreat before the two armies confront each other? Will Ye Zhen on the opposite side retreat easily?

When Kong De received the order from Jicheng, Niu Ben also stood in front of Ye Zhen. At the same time, a person who was beyond Ye Zhen's expectations also came to his camp. The person who came was the special envoy of Zhao army general Zhou Changshou, formerly the city lord Zhao Guang.

"I understand the governor's meaning." Ye Zhen laughed and said to Niu Ben: "When I wanted to be sleepy, someone sent a pillow. General Niu and Zhou Changshou also sent someone to me, hahaha! You go and rest first. I will deal with this General Zhao Guang and Zhao first, but see what Zhou Changshou means."

The cow ran away with a smile.

Yan and Zhao have always been in opposition. The State of Zhao relied on its strong national strength and had always played the role of bullying Yan. Over the years, the two countries have never stopped fighting each other. Until now, friction between the two sides still occurs from time to time. What's more, in Dai County, there are 6,000 infantry cavalry who are assisting Zhao Yong and Zhao Qi in a fierce battle. The two sides fought like a tug-of-war in Dai County, and half of Dai County has been ruined.

When Zhao Guang walked into Ye Zhen's tent, his mood was quite complicated. A few years ago, even when the city was the lord and general, Gao Yuan was just a small county lieutenant. Times have changed, and the status of the two sides is now very different. Even in front of a member of the other party, he has to hold the etiquette of subordinates.

And I also became the captive of the Fufeng Army, which is the predecessor of the Eastern Army.

The little character of that year had already leaped over the dragon gate and roared around the world, but he was still standing still and adjusting it, but he never made any further progress. Zhao Guang knew that he had opposed Zhao Qi back then and was regarded as a thorn in his side. Now that Zhao Qi is in power, he will not have his own chance to make his lead. The only chance to make Zhou Changshou rise and compete with Zhao Qi. This is also the reason why Zhou Changshou strongly supported him when he proposed to take this opportunity to seize Yuyang.

"General Zhao, please sit down. I wonder what is important to General Zhao's camp this time?" Ye Zhen politely asked Zhao Guang to sit down and serve tea. However, he also got into the tiger case and sat in front of Zhao Guang, indicating that the two sides are just an equal relationship now. If you come, you will be a guest. I have the way to entertain guests.

Ye Zhen was born in the Ye Mansion and has followed Ye Tiannan to travel around the world since he was a child. In terms of etiquette, he always has such a noble style. Even if he will be dismembered from your body next moment, he can still talk and laugh with you with a smile at the last moment, but he is not bad at all in etiquette.

After his cover, Zhao Guang was soaked in spring breeze, and the tension in his heart eased most of it.

"Zhao came this time because he was ordered by General Zhou Changshou and wanted to discuss a major event with General Ye." Zhao Guang pondered for a moment, "General Ye, you and I are both military men, so I will not turn around but go straight to the point. Governor Gao's intention to sweep Yan State is already known to everyone. Now Yan State can fight, and there are not many soldiers who dare to fight. Hu Yanchao, a unit of Langya, is now attacking Gushan Pass, and has not yet taken it down for more than a month. This shows that Hu Yanchao's troops are indeed extraordinary. Then there are Kong De's troops in Yuyang. General Ye has fought with him for more than a month. Of course, Zhao is not allowed to say anything more. Then there is the new army of Zhou Yu in Jicheng. Nothing else is worth mentioning."

"Can General Zhao come here and wants to deal with Kong De's part with me?"

"General Ye is powerful. He said in one word that I was here. Kong De's troops had a total of more than 50,000 people. He fought with General Ye for more than a month and lost thousands of troops. Now he can fight, up to more than 30,000 troops. General Zhou intends to help your troops and eliminate Kong De's last army in Yuyang County, making it impossible for them to return to Jicheng. I think this will be of great help to Governor Gao's great cause?" Zhao Guang said with a smile.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "What General Zhao said is indeed good, but I also know that there is naturally no reason for pies to fall from the sky, and I don't hide it from General Zhao. With my strength, it is indeed not enough to swallow Kong's tribe. General Zhou Changshou is willing to help us. What does he want?"

"General Zhou doesn't want much, he only needs Yuyang. Moreover, we can still assign Anlu to you. General Zhou also knows that Anlu iron ore is very important for Governor Gao." Zhao Guang stared at Ye Zhen and said. (To be continued)
