I’m The King Chapter 1104: :East and West (Ninety-seven)
October in the south, the cool breeze is blowing, and the autumn is blowing. A single lamp, a few dishes, reflect two faces that have gone through vicissitudes, and a pot of old wine, but it can't pour out the bitterness in my heart.
"Tan Feng, how did we get to this point?" Zhou Yu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and put the glass on the table with a bang, "What about our grand plan and great wish? Where is Dayan?" He stared at his red eyes, "You even killed the king."
Tan Feng slowly picked up the wine glass, slowly swallowed it bit by bit, savoring the pungentness brought by the hot wine flowing down his throat carefully." Zhou brother, you Did you come all the way to me just to question me about this?"
Zhou Yu covered his face with both hands, and leaned on the table, "I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled."
"There's nothing to be reconciled to." Tan Feng lifted the jug and filled Zhou Yu's cup, "The strong wine produced in Qin is more than one grade worse than Wu's wine. I can't swallow it when I drink it, but I get used to it after drinking it."
"What do you want to say?" Zhou Yu raised his head.
"Brother Zhou, do you think it is possible to realize our ambition of returning to Yan?" Tan Feng asked.
Zhou Yu shook his head lightly, "It's impossible, it's impossible, Gao Yuan's momentum has already been achieved, and we have no hope at all."
"Yes, since there is no hope at all, what do we need Ji Ling? If we can exchange him for King Qin's trust in us, why can't we kill him?"
"Is it just to exchange for the trust of King Qin, and to have the current power in Qin?" Zhou Yu asked hoarsely, "But don't you know that your killing will nail us alive? On the pillar of shame of history.”
"Of course it's not just for this. What I want most is to defeat Gao Yuan and send the Han Kingdom he built to the eighteenth floor of hell." Tan Feng's face slowly flushed, "Ji Ling is useless, the only thing he can do for us is to use his life to help us get our current status. If he doesn't die, will King Qin Wulie let us sit in our current position before he dies? "
Zhou Yu stared at Tan Feng, "Are you jealous of him?"
Of course he is Gao Yuan.
Tan Feng smiled, "Yes, it's jealousy. When I first met Gao Yuan, he was still a country bumpkin who didn't understand anything. But at that time, I really admired him, so we became friends. So during the Battle of Yuyang, I spared no effort to help him, and when Zhou Taiwei wanted to kill him with a knife, I was the one who pulled him back from the cliff."
"But then Jicheng was on fire, and you didn't help him."
A gleam of pain flashed in Tan Feng's eyes, "At that time, I didn't want to help him, but I was trapped in the Ning Mansion by Ning Zecheng."
"If you want to leave, you may not be able to." Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "After all, you still don't regard him as a brother who can live and die from the bottom of your heart. You have been using a kind of Looking down on him with a condescending attitude, when he showed super high ability in the Battle of Yuyang, when he was named General Zhengdong, and the position leaped over you, you started to envy him, At that time, you subconsciously thought that it would be better if he died!"
"Maybe you are right? I always thought I was better than him. If he can do it, I will do it better than him." Tan Feng was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Or I didn't realize it, but subconsciously, maybe I always wanted to compare him."
"But all these years, it was you who lost."
"And you!" Tan Feng said coldly: "Gao Yuan has reached a height that we can't reach step by step. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach his current level in this lifetime. If you want to prove yourself, there is nothing better than Wouldn’t it be more satisfying to destroy the dynasty he built with his own hands? It’s always easier to destroy than to build.”
Zhou Yu glared at Tan Feng, "You and that Lu Chao are really the same thing, Lu Chao shouted that Gao Yuan is sorry for his father, sorry for his mother, and sorry for the Lu family. He is his little follower, someone he has always looked down upon, now Gao Yuan is much stronger than you, so your greatest wish is to defeat him, and use his failure to reflect your success?"
"You're right on point." Tan Feng actually laughed, "But it's not just me and Lu Chao, Brother Zhou, you are with us. We are grasshoppers on the same line, and the world has already The two of us are firmly bound together."
"One misstep becomes a lifelong hatred, and looking back, it will be a hundred years!" Zhou Yu sighed, "Now we have nowhere to go, except to help Qin Guo and Gao Yuan compete for life and death on this continent. There is no second choice. History is written by the victor. Only by defeating him can we record our glorious name in the annals of history. Otherwise, shame will accompany us for generations to come. Not only will we be ashamed, but we will also be ashamed. and ancestors.”
"Brother Zhou is right, as long as we win, history will be written by us." Tan Feng clapped his hands and said with a smile. "You made a special trip this time to scold me, right?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course not. As you said, we are grasshoppers on the same line. Although I am dissatisfied with you for killing Ji Ling, what can I do? I am here this time because of Han Qin The peace agreement signed between them!"
"It's a **** peace agreement. It's just that the current Daqin can't move anymore and needs to recuperate. There will be more, not less, both parties need time to integrate and digest, and whoever completes this step first will tear up this agreement first.”
"What I'm talking about is not this, but the content of the agreement. You know Gao Yuan better than me. This person will never do things without purpose. For example, he asked us to attack Chu State. Doesn't he understand the current situation? Is it absolutely impossible for us to go to war with the state of Chu? Do we believe it just because of Li Ru's light promise?"
"Both sides are not allowed to send troops to Zhao State? To resist the wolves and tigers of the Han army, Lu Chao will definitely send people in. What is great is to change into the uniform of the Zhao army. And on the other side of the Zhao country, the Han people will definitely do the same." Tan Feng said disapprovingly." Gao Yuan The purpose is definitely not this, but from this paper agreement, I really haven't found any major flaws?"
"Is it the free trade? No taxation from Han merchants within three years?" Zhou Yu frowned.
"After much deliberation, this is the one, but the great thing about it is that it will cause Daqin to lose some tax revenue, and it is stipulated in the agreement that if Han merchants violate the laws of Qin, when the Qin people judge, there must be officials of the Han Dynasty present. These are irrelevant to the overall situation. So if you can't guess or see through, you can only take one step at a time. After a long time, you will naturally know exactly what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd." Tan Feng said.
"I'm afraid that it will be too late when we understand it." Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Gao Yuan is a person who makes decisions before acting, and thinks long-term, which is beyond the reach of human beings."
"Brother Zhou, I think you have a phobia about this person, or you have nothing. Both sides need a step to end this war. Although the Great Qin was defeated in this war, the Han State had never If you are not prepared for a big battle with us, you will suffer a great loss." Tan Feng said with a smile, "Maybe we are worrying unfoundedly."
"I hope so!" Zhou Yu nodded.
The closed door was pushed open with a creak, and Tan Feng's relatives followed Tan Kang in strides, walked up to Tan Feng's side, whispered a few words in his ear, Tan Feng frowned, "Brother Zhou , An envoy is here from Xianyang, I will go and see you first."
Zhou Yu was also surprised, "You go, I don't want to show up. Don't let the messenger know that I came to you."
"Naturally." Tan Feng nodded, turned around and strode away, Tan Kang followed closely behind, and when he went out, he closed the door gently.
After touching for about half an hour, Tan Feng pushed the door again and entered. Zhou Yu was shocked and angry when he saw Tan Feng's expression, his fists clenched, obviously something serious happened.
"What's the matter? What did the messenger say?" Zhou Yu asked.
"The Han army's attack on Chu's Kangping City has achieved results!"
"Who wins and who loses?" Zhou Yu asked nervously.
"The Han army won a great victory, and the Chu army was defeated for thousands of miles. They retreated to the vicinity of Daba Mountain before re-stabilizing their positions." Tan Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yu slowly shook his head, "I didn't expect the Chu army to defeat the Han army."
"The important thing is not that the Chu army was defeated, but the way the Han army defeated the Chu army." Tan Feng sat opposite Zhou Yu, "Qu Zhong set up a chain defense with Kangping City as the center, which we also did before." After research, there is indeed no flaw, but the Han army adopted the latest weapons and smashed down the 100-meter-long city wall of Kangping City in one fell swoop. The city was bombed, and thousands of soldiers on the city were killed almost at the same time, but the city was panicked because of the weapon of the Han army at that time, and the Han army took the opportunity to attack the city.”
Zhou Yu stood up with a bang, "What is it that can knock down a city as large as Kangping City with a wall that is hundreds of meters long?"
"The Black Ice Terrace is currently being spied on, but it has disturbed Zhongli Zhonghou's guess. This weapon has a great relationship with the fireworks that have suddenly become popular in Han this year." Tan Feng said:" The king urgently called me back to Xianyang. I have to leave immediately with the envoy, and you should go back as soon as possible!"
"It seems that the king wants to use your knowledge of Gao Yuan and the people you have lurked in Han to inquire about this matter!"
"Probably so, the Black Ice Terrace is struggling in Han now, and the manpower I have hidden can come in handy this time." (To be continued)
