Compared with the prosperous Jicheng, it is a world of difference. The broken city walls, narrow streets, scattered thatched huts and poor people. Even the poor people in Jicheng are now the destination of King Yan Jima and his ministers Zhou Yu, Tan Feng and others.

The land of Qi defeated Yan. Although Yan State still had a large area under the control of Gao Yuan, the nominal general of the East Envoy, Yan Ji was homeless. At Tan Feng's suggestion, Ji Ling asked the King of Wei for a place to settle down. The King of Wei promised, "There is no free lunch in this world. Quwo, now it is almost on the line of the attack led by Lu Chao. Although it is not the front of the attack, its location is still very important.

Quwo gives you, but you must guard the frontier for me, and this is the exchange between the two sides.

They gathered the scattered soldiers and generals all the way. By the time they got Quwo, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu had already gathered thousands of people. Including the troops that broke out with them, they finally had tens of thousands of people in their hands. The King of Wei generously replenished them with food, grass and weapons, but they also knew very well that this was probably the first and the last time, because the envoy of the King of Wei made it clear that Quwo would be the place to rest in Yanling in the future, that is, they would rely on Quwo to support their troops under their command in the future.

"Quwo is a hundred miles in a radius, with a total of 5,832 households." With the household transfer from the county town, Tan Feng reported to Ji Mausoleum.

"It's a hundred miles in a radius, not a small county, why are there only more than 5,000 families?" Ji Ling asked in surprise.

"Quwo is often attacked by Qin army, and wars have always been raging, and there are many fugitives. People's livelihood is withering and they are extremely poor." Tan Feng sighed, "Your Majesty, it is probably impossible to support ten thousand soldiers here."

"More than 10,000, Kong De's messenger arrived today. Kong De brought 10,000 troops and horses, and he would arrive in about ten days." Zhou Yu emphasized.

"Why are there only 10,000 soldiers?" Tan Feng raised his head in surprise. "There should be at least more than 20,000 people under Kong De's command."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "I asked the messenger this way, too. The messenger told me that in order to escape from Ye Zhen's army, their major general Kong Fang led 5,000 people to cut off the rear and cover the evacuation of the army. At the same time, some people were unwilling to leave their hometowns to come to Wei State, so they sent travel expenses to dismiss."

Tan Feng's face was ugly and tight, "Kong Fang was afraid that he would not have cut off the back, but instead took the five thousand people to Ye Zhen? If what I expected was right, the five thousand people would definitely be the most elite troops under Kong De."

Ji Ling raised his head at this time and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, for nothing, Kong De can come. He can bring ten thousand people with him. He is very loyal. There is no need to blame him too much. If you use this matter to blame him, wouldn't it disappoint him? In our situation, he will find a way out for his son. It is understandable that Tan Qing and General Kong will not mention this matter again, just pretend that he doesn't know!"

"The king is wise!" Zhou Yu bowed and said, "Conde is willing to come."

"Don't worry, the ministers will naturally save themselves from this matter, but they just feel a little uneasy. Kong De asked his son to hug his thigh, but this thigh may not be very reliable. Tian Dan's army is attacking western Liaoning, and Gaoyuan's army has no time to rush back in Donghu. Once western Liaoning is lost and the accumulation of stones is not guaranteed, Ye Zhen's troops will be divided into Hejian and Yuyang, so where can they defend?"

"A traitor, everyone can kill him!" Ji Ling said angrily: "If Gao Yuan had not caused trouble, how could I have the predicament of today? Now I would rather Tian Dan kill into western Liaoning and defeat Gao Yuan. It is best to take his head to relieve my hatred."

"The king is relieved. Gao Yuan's main force is far away in Donghu and Lin. Tian Shan's tens of thousands of troops attacked western Liaoning. Gao Yuan's old nest will inevitably be difficult to protect. Gao Yuan will definitely go back day and night to save the old and suppress the old. At that time, Tian Shan will accumulate energy, while Gao Yuan's soldiers are exhausted. The result of this battle is that the unjust intention is revealed. Now, let the two of them bite the dog, it is better to fight both sides and lose both sides." Tan Feng said.

Zhou Yu raised his eyes, looked at Tan Feng, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally lowered his head again.

"I don't know if Chunyu Yan has arrived in Chu State now?" Ji Ling looked at the two of them, "I don't know if he can tell King Huai of Chu to help me?"

"The King of Chu is not unaware of Chunyu Yan's sharp mouth. He will definitely live up to the expectations of the King of Chu. King Huai of Chu is your father-in-law. How could he ignore it? Even for the sake of the princess, King Huai of Chu will help the King of Chu." Tan Feng smiled and said, "Only by threatening the King of Chu, King Huai of Chu, even if he wins, he will definitely damage his vitality. At that time, or we only need to pay a certain price, the King of Chu will be able to return to Jicheng."

"A certain price? I'm afraid that the price will be high. How could Tian Dan make a big speech?" Ji Ling said sadly: "I'm afraid that my king's big swallow will be cut off by countless lands."

"King, even so, it is better than us now in Quwo! Although we will pay the price at that time, as long as we work hard, there will always be a comeback. Life is normal. I think the Qin Dynasty was often beaten by the Huns to make compensation and seek peace, and is in a mess? But look at the current situation, where is the Huns? Even the lord of their royal court was killed by Ying Ying! A real man endured a temporary humiliation, but what he wanted was a foundation for all generations!" Tan Feng said righteously and his tone was strong.

"I hope so!" Ji Ling was also aroused by Tan Feng's words.

Zhou Yu on the side suddenly said, "If, what if, what will Gao Yuan win this battle? What should we do at that time?"

Yes, what if Gao Yuan wins?

The other two people have thought about this question, but they are unwilling to think deeply about the result. If Tian Dan wins, there is still hope to return to Yan through mediation from Chu State and then cede land and pay compensation. But if Gao Yuan wins, do they still have a chance to go back?

"Master Zhou, do you think Gao Yuan is likely to win in the current situation? If you are Gao Yuan and you come to command this war, do you think you have a chance to win?" Tan Feng asked back.

Zhou Yu was silent for a while, "No, for a moment, I couldn't think of any chance to turn defeat into victory."

Tan Feng heard what he meant. Zhou Yu meant that he couldn't think of it, but it didn't mean that Gao Yuan couldn't think of it. After all, Gao Yuan had not reacted in the past ten years.

"Taiwei, even you can't think of any chance of Gao Yuan winning. So why are we worried about so much?"

Walking out of the simple residence of Jima, Zhou Yu and Tan Feng slowly walked on the narrow streets. The sun shone in front of them, dragging their shadows behind them for a very long time. They looked extremely bleak.

"Tan Feng, what should we do if Gao Yuan wins?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"He has no chance of winning." Tan Feng said firmly.

Zhou Yu sighed to the sky, Gao Yuan did not have a chance to win. But if Gao Yuan won, they would never have any chance again, and they would inevitably fall into Quwo from then on. They became a knife to resist the Qin people in the hands of the King of Wei.

"There are so few people in Quwo that they can't support our army at all. This is not the 10,000 soldiers that Kong De will arrive. Have you ever thought about this question?" Zhou Yu turned his head and asked.

"Of course I thought about it." Tan Feng nodded, "There are too many soldiers compared to the difficulties we are facing now. Let's lay off troops! Eliminate the weak and choose the best, and the people who have been laid off will be placed on the spot. There are few people in Quwo, and there are few people in some people. Those abandoned land will be distributed to these soldiers who have been intercepted. This will not only reduce our burden, but also find a way out for these people. Next year, we will also collect taxes from them, survive this year, and tomorrow, everything will be fine."

"Then how much are you going to lay off?"

"half!"

"Where is Comte?"

"Including Kong De, after Kong De arrived, we had more than 20,000 people in total, half of them were laid off, leaving only 10,000 people, and then reorganized them."

"This is a disguised deprivation of Conde's military power. Will he agree?"

"If he doesn't agree, will he have the ability to get enough money and food to support his army?" Tan Feng sneered, "If he doesn't come, we will naturally be unable to give him any help, but since he has come, will he be able to do what he wants?"

"Kong De is still loyal to Dayan. You cannot use fierce means to deal with him, otherwise it will arouse his dissatisfaction and cause mutiny, and then it will be out of control!" Zhou Yu warned Tan Feng.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility. Since Kong De is still loyal to Dayan, it's easy to deal with. There is a saying that a gentleman can deceive him." Tan Feng laughed loudly.

Zhou Yu shook his head again, "Although we have hidden the queen's humiliation in Jicheng for a while, we can't hide it all the time, and we can't hide it all the time to hide it from the King of Chu. When we fled, we didn't have time to bring the princess with us. Will King Huai of Chu be angry that the King of Chu refused to borrow troops?"

Tan Feng snorted, "Although our king has no face in this matter, is King Huai of Chu very handsome? The king is already shameless to this point, but King Huai of Chu is still shameless. Brother Zhou, I have sent someone to Chu State to promote this matter. Even if the King Chu is shameless, there is still shame among the people of Chu. Then the trouble will start."

After hearing Tan Feng's evaluation of his group, Zhou Yu couldn't help but blush, but he had nothing to say. Yes, to this point, what face can he have?
