Gao Yuan led the people out of the city, and at noon, caught up with the convoy in front, and at this time, the 36 horsemen who went out of the city first last night had already converged with the convoy and advanced, so after all the people and horses of the group gathered, they also officially embarked on the road back.

Of course, Gao Yuan did not expect that after he left Qi State, he would cause a storm in Qi State, but by the time Qi Wangjian and Tian Kezhang received the letter, Gao Yuan and his convoy had already crossed the southern section of the Yellow River and entered the border area of Qi State.

But there were several times more vehicles on the way back than when they came, and they were carrying heavy loads, plus more than a thousand more slaves. Naturally, the slaves did not have horses to travel, and their ability to walk was much worse than that of the soldiers, so the speed of the return journey was slower than when they came.

When in the territory of Qi State, because the road is flat and wide, the walking speed of the convoy is also faster, but after crossing the southern section of the Yellow River, the quality of the road has decreased significantly, and at the same time, it is necessary to prevent the attack of robbers, and this time there are more vehicles, once there are robbers really killed near the convoy, it is not easy to deal with, so the plateau does not dare to be careless, and sends a large number of cavalry troops to patrol and probe in front of the convoy, left and right, to ensure that the road is safe and sound, and dare to move forward with confidence, and in this way, the speed is slowed down.

And after the convoy crossed the middle section of the Yellow River, there were really two bandits who were not long-eyed, probably because they saw that there were many vehicles in their line on the plateau, and there were not many people who were relatively accompanying them, so they also used their brains and came out to fight the plateau and his party, but before they could get close to the convoy, they were beaten by the people and horses of the plateau, and on the contrary, hundreds of people were caught by the plateau as hard labor. But in this way, the convoy of people walked even more slowly.

However, there is nothing urgent for Gao Yuan to rush back to Daijun immediately, so he walks unhurriedly. While also enjoying the natural scenery along the way. At this time, it is spring in March, the trees are flourishing, the greenery is abundant, and they are all a group of original natural scenery, which is very rare in later generations, so the plateau also holds the mentality of touring, travels all the way, sometimes hunts, and engages in a wild barbecue. And at night, he has his own sword dancing girl to serve, and he is also a good traveler.

The only fly in the ointment is that Lin Wenqing seems to be deliberately avoiding the plateau, almost never giving him a chance to get along with the plateau alone, and the plateau has never had the opportunity to renew his relationship with Lin Wenqing. However, Gao Yuan is not worried, he has already believed that Lin Wenchun has already been his own dish, and it is impossible to escape, but on the way back, it is really difficult to disclose the relationship between the two, so Gao Yuan is not in a hurry, and he does not appear to be close to Lin Wenqing in the past. It's just an ambiguous look when others aren't paying attention, or a handshake or something like that.

After walking for a few more days, the convoy of people and horses came to the northern section of the Yellow River, and after crossing the northern section of the Yellow River, it entered the territory of Yan State, and with the relationship between Dai County and Yan State, it arrived at the territory of Yan State, and the safety of the whole team could be basically guaranteed.

However, it was already afternoon at this time, and it was impossible for the convoy of men and horses to cross the Yellow River today, nor could they camp on both sides of the Yellow River separately, so Gao Yuan ordered to camp on the south bank of the Yellow River, rest for the night, and wait until tomorrow to cross the river.

Because it was still early and it was okay to be idle in the camp, Gao Yuan took a dozen soldiers and hunted in the woods on the banks of the Yellow River. At this time, the banks of the Yellow River were still a lush primeval forest, and there were many herbivores such as roe deer, deer and sheep. So that night, a bonfire was set up in the camp, game was barbecued, and the whole camp was full of laughter.

Of course, the barbecue matter does not need to be done by Gao Yuan himself, and naturally there are soldiers to do it for him, so he and Zhang Liang sat by the fire and talked.

In fact, along the way, Gao Yuan also chatted with Zhang Liang and discussed the current situation in the world. And after walking out of the Qi country, Gao Yuan also explained his true identity to Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang was also shocked when he learned about it, and he also admired Gao Yuan's courage very much, and at the same time felt that his decision was not wrong. Of course, he also changed his name to the plateau as the lord, and did not hide anything from the plateau, and told the plateau his views on the general trend of the world, and so on.

Although Gao Yuan is very familiar with the overall trend of this era and the development of history, he is not a person of this era after all, and he is obviously much worse about the details of this era, concepts, the ability and mentality of the monarchs and ministers of various countries, etc., in the past, the power of the plateau was only limited to a corner of Zhao State, and it still has little influence, and now we must focus on the overall situation, so we can't help but consider these things.

And Zhang Liang was originally a nobleman in South Korea, and he served as the minister of South Korea three times, after the death of South Korea, he traveled to various countries, not only increased his knowledge, vision, but also made an understanding of the situation in various countries, this knowledge is what the plateau lacks the most, so after talking with Zhang Liang, it also made the plateau have a very detailed understanding of the current situation.

Of course, Gao Yuan also told Zhang Liang about the situation of Daijun, as well as the process of his trip to Qi this time, and the agreement formed by Hetian Kezang, Wei Zeng, Xiang Dong and others, and used Wei to consume Qin and his future plans. After listening to Gao Yuan's speech, Zhang Liang also praised Gao Yuan's plan, believing that it was the best plan to fight against Qin at present.

At this time, Gao Yuan asked: "What is the situation in Wei now, I don't know if Mr. knows?" ”

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of lingering." ”

Gao Yuan frowned and said, "It won't be so strict, right?" ”

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "Now there is a Yongjun in the Wei State, and there is no incompetent minister to govern the country, it is completely a lifeless appearance, look at the main officials of the Wei State now, the prime minister is Wei Xing, the Great Sima Wei Cuo, the Great Punishment Wei Hui, the Great Sitian Wei Ping, and the Pawn Wei Zeng, has the lord heard the mystery here?" ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Why are they all surnamed Wei, are all of the clans of the Wei Kingdom?" ”

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Yes, now in the court of Wei, seventy percent of the ministers are from the Wei family, and they all grasp the power of the court, the lord thinks, can such a country be saved?" ”

Gao Yuan also smiled bitterly, a large number of clans are used, which means distrust of people with foreign surnames, and it also means the loss of talents. In fact, among the countries, the exclusion and conservative employment of Wei is the most famous, and it is also the country with the most lost talents, although there will be outstanding talent elites in the clan, but after all, it is a minority, the vast majority are mediocre, and it is the elite of their own family, Wei is also suspicious and guarded, the Wei Duke of Wei is also suspicious and guarded, the Wei Duke of the year Xinling Jun Wuji, twice formed a joint column, defeated the Qin army, famous all over the world, all countries respected, it was originally a rare material to govern the world, but in Wei is not reused, the result is depressed and ended, and after the death of Xinling Jun, There are no more dry materials in the clan of the Wei State, so the current situation of the Wei State is naturally conceivable.

Therefore, Gao Yuan said: "So Mr. thinks that the plan of using the Wei State to drag the Qin State is still feasible?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "This is feasible, although the Wei State is hopeless, but if you borrow the power of the Wei State to drag the Qin State and consume the Qin State, it is not impossible to do it." ”

Gao Yuan said: "I would like to listen to Mr. explain in detail." ”

Zhang Liangdao: "The use of a large number of ministers of the clan is not without benefits, at least it can strengthen the minister's loyalty to the country, so there are no traitors like Guo Kai and Hou Sheng in the Wei State." Once the Qin army attacks the Wei state, the whole Wei state will also work together to resist the Qin army with all their might. And the capital of Wei is a well-known strong city in the world, I have been to Daliang in Xia Yu, I have seen the city wall of Daliang with my own eyes, it is indeed a city with high walls and thick walls, solid as gold, and the food material in the city is enough to last for more than three years, if Wei is united and there is a strong city to follow, plus there is a small number of elite soldiers of the lord and the Chu State to help, and there is the material supply of the Qi State, then it is completely possible to block the Qin State and spend two or three years to defend the Battle of the Great Liang and turn it into the second Battle of Changping. Even if the Qin State finally captures Daliang, it will inevitably consume a huge amount of money, and the lord will be able to get several years of reprieve time. ”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "What Mr. said is good, but among the Qin army, there are many famous generals who are proficient in the art of war, and now there are no generals in the Wei State, so even if there is a strong city to follow, it may not be able to hold it, unless it is me who is the main general, not only can I hold the Liang, forcing the Qin army to attack for a long time, and automatically retreat, and if the opportunity is right, maybe we can take advantage of the Qin army to stay under the city for a long time, and after the division veterans are tired, defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop, not to defend the battle of Liang, into the second battle of Changping, but the second battle of Handan, This way, we get a little more buffer time. ”

Zhang Liang also nodded, and said: "The lord is right, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find, if the lord commands the battle of defending Daliang, there is indeed a chance to defeat the Qin army." In fact, this is not impossible, as long as we have a better grasp of the timing of the rescue of the Wei State, let the Wei State under the oppression of the Qin army, and then send people who can speak and discern well, and be very good at the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State, I think the Wei State will have to agree to our request and let the lord lead the Wei army. ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Sir's words are exactly what I want." ”

Zhang Liang said again: "May I ask the lord, if the lord is really in command of the battle to defend the Great Liang, then what is the chance of defeating the Qin army." ”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "I am not very familiar with the situation in Wei State, but judging from the current situation, the worst should be more than thirty percent, and if it is good, it should be about fifty percent; And holding the girder and forcing the Qin army to retreat is five or six percent sure. ”

Zhang Liang said: "If the lord can defeat the Qin army in front of Daliang City, it will make the Qin State unable to raise troops to advance eastward for ten years; If the Qin army can be forced to attack the city and automatically retreat, it can delay the Qin state for five years; Even if the Qin army breaks through the beam, but the lord can hold on for more than a year, and he can also have a buffer time of about three years. ”
