Everyone got up to leave, and Gao Yuan also turned back to the inner room, and when he walked out of the council room, Gao Yuan suddenly asked the servant next to him: "Has Tai Xiaodan left?" ”

From the humane: "Back to the lord, I haven't left yet, I'm waiting at the gate of the house." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, to be honest, his impression of Tai Xiao Dan is not bad, and the relationship between Dai Yan is like this, it is not Tai Xiao Dan's fault, from some signs, Tai Xiao Dan really wants to maintain the alliance relationship between Dai Yan, just because Yan Wang likes to be self-righteous and happy, and the result is that the two sides broke off friendship, of course, if Gao Yuan wants to restore the relationship between Fù and Yan State, now is indeed a great opportunity, but Gao Yuan's goal is not to restore the alliance relationship with Yan State, but to occupy Yan State, Naturally, he would not reconcile with Tai Xiaodan, so Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, just let him wait a few days." ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Yuan went straight back to the inner house, and met Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia in a hurry from the outside. Seeing the plateau, Luo Huan hurriedly bowed down and said respectfully: "Father." Jiang Mingxia, on the other hand, was much more casual, just bent her knees slightly, and then said coquettishly: "Uncle Gao." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Where did you two come from?" ”

Luo Huan said: "Today is a holiday in the army, so Mingxia and I came home, I heard that my father's illness has been cured, we rushed back to greet my father, has my father's illness been cured?" ”

Originally, according to the system of the Daijun barracks, if it was a peacetime garrison, the ordinary soldiers would take turns to rest one day out of every ten days, and the soldiers who took the turn to rest could go home to reunite with their families, or they could go out of the barracks to relax and play. Gao Yuan had just given the order to prepare for war today, but the order had not yet reached the army, so Luo Huan was still resting as usual today.

After the New Year, Luo Huan officially became a soldier of the army, directly belonging to the pro-guard team of the plateau, although during this time Gao Yuan pretended to be sick and did not serve in the army, but Luo Huan still followed other soldiers every day to train, eat and live, and only returned to the house for one night when it was his turn to rest. However, it was just to adjust his rest time to Jiang Mingxia for one day, so that the two of them could have time to get along when they were resting.

Although Lin Wenqing was somewhat reluctant to let his son live in the barracks, he also knew that this was an important step for his son to get ahead. Therefore, he also endured the attachment to his children and let Luo Huan live in the barracks. But Gao Yuan pretended to be sick and didn't tell Luo Huan, after all, Luo Huan was still too young, and he was afraid that he would leak out if he said it.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "It's all right." Is it okay for you to stay in the barracks during this time? Are you still used to it? ”

Luo Huan said: "It's okay, but Father Lao has thought about it." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, go and greet your mother." After a pause, he said: "Wait a while and Mingxia to greet Uncle Jiang, he will lead the army to set off tomorrow, tell him to come over for dinner tonight." ”

Luo Huan agreed and left with Jiang Mingxia.

Gao Yuan thought about it for a while, and then came to the hut where Guigu Yu lived. Because Gao Yuan came back too late last night, he didn't go to greet Guiguzi, and now that the business has been handled, of course I want to see Guiguzi.

After Guiguzi came to Daijun, although he lived in the mansion on the plateau, Li Yinghong arranged a clean hut for him, and at the request of Guiguzi, he did not arrange for servants to serve. Last night, Gao Yuan came to listen to Yun Yao talk about Guiguzi's frequent contact with the Bai Ling clan during this time, and inquired about the situation of the Bai Ling clan.

Came to Guiguzi's residence, just at this time Guigugu was in the house, and after seeing the plateau, Guiguzi smiled and said: "Gaoyuan, you are finally here." ”

Gao Yuan said: "I only came to visit the teacher now, and I really neglected the teacher." ”

Guiguzi smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, I also know that you must be very busy when you come back this time, this time the Qin army's army is pressing, I'm afraid your pressure is not small." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Actually, if it's just the Qin army, I have a seventy percent chance of winning." Saying that, Gao Yuan told Guiguzi about his plan and layout two years ago, as well as the arrangements for the deployment of troops.

After listening to Gao Yuan's speech, Guiguzi also nodded, and said: "The arrangement is good, I think even if Li Mulai is replaced, I'm afraid I can only do this step, seventy percent sure, I'm afraid it's too little, I think even if it is said that there are eight or ninety, it is not an exaggeration." ”

Gao Yuan said: "It's a pity that for Han Teng, my grasp is less than forty percent." I'm not worried about Han Teng's ability to use troops, but I don't know how many hidden means Han Teng has. The teacher understands the situation of the Jiuli tribe, and thinks that Han Teng may have any means? ”

Guiguzi nodded and said, "Because there were too many ancient books lost back then, I don't know very well, but the Jiuli clan was not a single tribe back then, but a combination of multiple tribes. ”

Gao Yuan understands that the tribes in ancient times are actually changing in the continuous merger and division, the big tribes annex the small tribes, and many small tribes merge into one big tribe, the Jiuli tribe of Chiyou is like this, and later after defeating Chiyou, the tribes of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor merged into the Yanhuang tribe, becoming the largest tribe in China at that time, that is, the beginning of the Chinese nation.

Guiguzi then said: "As far as I know, in the Jiuli tribe, there are two tribes that are Chiyou's most powerful assistants, and in the battle between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor, these two tribes played a great role, and it can be said that without the support of these two tribes, Chiyou would not dare to fight with the Yellow Emperor at all." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Are those two tribes?" ”

Guiguzi said: "It's the Kuafu clan and the mountain ghost clan." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned and said, "Are there really two such tribes?" ”

Guigu smiled and said, "What do you think? Are they all legends? ”

Among these two tribes, the Kuafu people are more famous in Chinese history, because the myth and legend of Kuafu chasing the sun has always been widely spread in China until the present society. Legend Kua Father clan is the descendants of the great god Hou Tu, living in the northern wilderness, a big mountain called Chengdu Zaitian, Ju said that the Kua Father people are all huge, infinite strength, so they are also known as the giant clan, and the Kua Father clan is brave and good at fighting, often catch the vicious yellow snake hanging on their two ears as decoration, proud.

In the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the Kuafu clan stood on the side of the Chiyou tribe and fought against the Yellow Emperor, because of its strong strength, once made the Yellow Emperor's army very passive, and later the Yellow Emperor got the help of Xuannu, he would use the marching formation, let the soldiers drill the battle array, and form a small formation with dozens of soldiers, and fight against Kuafu with group tactics, and at the same time collect the red copper casting sword of Kunwu Mountain, which can break gold and cut jade, and sharpen iron like mud, as a result, Huang finally defeated the Kuafu clan, achieved the final victory, and drove the Kuafu clan back to the north.

Of course, these are all myths and legends, but Gao Yuan also knows that there are many true images of ancient times, which are actually hidden in myths and legends, such as the Yellow Emperor with the help of Xuannu, learning the art of war, in fact, it indicates the level of military play in ancient times, and began to use certain military formation tactics, no longer blindly like street brawls and chaotic battles, and the red copper cast sword is a reflection of the smelting technology of the ancient Bronze Age.

Compared with the Kuafu clan, the mountain ghost clan is much less famous, but in the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, there are many deeds of this tribe, and legend has it that the mountain ghost clan is composed of various ghosts and ghosts, mountain spirits and ghosts, and it is good at disturbing the enemy with its special cry. Chi You once let the mountain ghost clan attack at night, shouting more than once outside the Yellow Emperor's military camp, which once stirred the Yellow Emperor's army into panic. Ju said that the mountain ghost clan was most afraid of the dragon's roar, so the Yellow Emperor recruited his most powerful general, Ying Long, to help in the battle, but the mountain ghost was scared away, so he won another game.

This legend is full of mythology, and after all, Gao Yuan is not an expert in studying ancient myths and legends, and he cannot find any hidden truth. However, there is one thing he knows that Ying Long is not a so-called dragon clan, but a general under the Yellow Emperor, and also a leader of a tribe, whose name is Ying Long, and the Tu tribe of his tribe is a winged dragon shape, (it may also be a winged crocodile shape) But later it was falsely rumored that after a lot of myths and legends were processed, it evolved into a kind of ancient dragon clan.

Moreover, in ancient mythology, the mountain ghost is not a ghost, a mountain spirit and a ghost, but a kind of mountain god similar to [Journey to the West], its original form may be a tribe living in the mountains and forests, the mountain ghost described by the Chu poet Qu Yuan in his famous book [Nine Songs * Mountain Ghost] is an extremely beautiful female image. However, the legend of the mountain ghost has always been spread in the south, and the Jiuli tribe of Chiyou is mainly distributed in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is not surprising that the mountain god clan is a member of the Jiuli tribe.

Gao Yuan said: "Are the Kuafu clan really all giants? How big is it? Is it really a few feet tall? ”

Guiguzi smiled and said: "I know this very well, the so-called height is several zhang, it is really just a myth and legend, of course, the real Kuafu people are not so tall, according to ancient books, the Kuafu clan is two zhang long." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, although there is no unified weights and measures in this era, but the scale of various countries is not very different, one zhang and two feet is about two meters and seven feet, if it is a person's height, although it is also extremely high, but it is not too outrageous. Moreover, China's unit of length is an obvious change from short to long, such as one foot is about 223 centimeters in the Qin and Han dynasties, about 278 centimeters in the Tang Dynasty, and about 31 centimeters in the Song and Ming dynasties. Therefore, in ancient times, the scale should be shorter, one zhang and two feet is estimated not to exceed two meters and a half, but it is definitely more than two meters.

A person who is two meters tall is naturally a little giant in the eyes of ordinary people, and if it is a team of such people, of course, it is scary enough, you can imagine how much oppression it will bring to the opponent if a team composed of Yao Ming, Bradley, O'Neill, Mutomber, Olajuwang, Howard, Ewing and others will bring to the opponent.

Of course, it is still difficult to say whether Han Teng will dispatch the Kuafu clan and the mountain ghost clan this time, and it is estimated that he can't ask anything now, so Gao Yuan said again: "Then what other strength can the teacher have to help us?" ”

Guigu shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "No." ”
