Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 509 Unlocking the bell (changxing)

Yan An felt remorseful, but Qin Ge couldn't finish it.He knew why Liang Xiao wanted Yan An to participate in the exercise, to prevent Yan An from knowing how ridiculous it was to send troops in Midsummer, how could he give up his mind and change course.

"Doctor Yan, how are you resting?" Qin Ge raised the sword in his hand and pointed at another mountain a few miles away. "The end point is there, we have to hurry up and start. After dark, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the woods, which may cause malaria. Oh, it's commonly known as swinging, but it's troublesome."

"Let's go?" Yan An suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the sweat on his body turned into cold sweat.

"How far did you go?" Qin Ge smiled, showing a little disapproval.Ten days ago, when they first started training, they also had the same fear.But now, they are used to this distance.In fact, for a battle, a few miles is really nothing.If you can't even overcome this, what's the point of fighting?

Qin Ge urged: "Let's go, or it will be too late." Then, without waiting for Yan An's consent, he signaled the two officials to support Yan An and ran away.

Yan An couldn't tell because of his suffering, so he dragged his two heavy legs and ran along with Qin Ge and the others.

Seeing this, the officials who came to protect Yan An had to get up and follow behind.

As the saying goes, Wang Shan ran a dead horse, Qin Ge pointed lightly, and the straight-line distance was only a few miles. Yan An was dizzy from the heat at the time, and didn't realize the problem.He didn't become anxious until he entered the mountain forest, twisted and turned, was out of breath, and saw the sky and the earth spinning in front of him, but the mountain collar was still far away.

"How far is it?"

"Soon, soon." Qin Ge responded, panting like a cow.Even though they have been training for more than ten days and are dressed coolly, they still feel very strenuous.Whenever this time, he admired Liang Xiao endlessly.It's the first time to come to South Vietnam, why Liang Xiao can think of these things, but they can't?What's even more exasperating is that this is not the first time for Yan An to come here. Not long ago, he had already come to Nanyue, why would he come up with such a bad idea?

Of course he couldn't think of it. The reason why Yan An had no idea was because he was walking on a relatively flat road and had never been through a mountain forest; secondly, it was winter and the temperature was not very high.Of course, the more fundamental reason is that Yan An is a strategist, and he is used to making plans, moving his mouth instead of his legs.If he hadn't been fooled for a while and eager to make contributions, and was tricked by Liang Xiao, he would never have had the opportunity to experience such a life in his life.

Now he has regretted it.

In fact, Yan An failed to persevere until the end, just when he reached the foot of the ridge, Yan An fainted from heatstroke.

Qin Ge didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately canceled the exercise. Without further ado, he stripped Yan An down to a pair of shorts, then sent Yan An back to the boat, and called a doctor for treatment.He personally rushed to report to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao leaned against the window, looked at the scenery, and after listening to the report, couldn't help but burst out laughing.Although he was mentally prepared, it was beyond his expectation that Yan An fainted from heatstroke.It seems that Yan An's body is much weaker than he estimated.

"Is it in the way?"

"The doctor said, it's okay." Qin Ge smiled, a little proud of his successful prank.He already instinctively rejected strategists like Yan An.Yan An also wanted to make meritorious service and become a marquis, which made him even more disgusted.With your physique, you also want to make military exploits? "However, there are always times when you can't slow down for a few days."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Do you know what to do?"

Qin Ge laughed. "Bo Ming, don't worry, I will make him regret it."

"Well, let's go." Liang Xiao waved his hands and sighed. "Actually, I hope he can hold on. After all, he can be considered a man of knowledge, not a scholar. If he can combine knowledge and action, he will be able to achieve something in the future."

Qin Ge blinked, hesitated to speak, turned and left.

Kuaiji County, at the foot of Wulin Mountain, the camp of the Han Army.

Wei Qing dismounted from his horse and hurried into the Chinese army camp with Wei Tao.In front of the big tent of the central army of the imperial historian Han Anguo, he stopped, stood upright, and shouted. "Wei Qing, General of Chariots and Cavalry, has been ordered to come and pay my respects."

A moment later, Han Anguo pushed out the tent, took Wei Qing's hand, and led him into the tent. "Zhongqing, you came so fast."

Wei Qing smiled honestly. "As soon as I received Han Gong's order, I rushed over immediately. Han Gong, why is it so urgent?"

Han Anguo let go of Wei Qing's hand, walked to the case, bent over to pick up an imperial edict, and handed it to Wei Qing.He patted Wei Qing's hand and sighed. "Zhongqing, take a good look at it, think it over, and then give me an answer."

Seeing that Han Anguo was so cautious, Wei Qing didn't dare to neglect, and hastily issued the imperial edict.After watching halfway, Wei Qing's expression changed.

This is the emperor's edict asking them to march into South Vietnam, not the edict to withdraw troops they hoped for.

"Attack Nanyue?" Wei Qing raised his head with uneasy eyes.

"Yes, attack South Vietnam." Han Anguo smiled bitterly: "When I first received the edict, I had the same reaction as you. I originally thought that the emperor would call off the war when the Yellow River burst, and focus on disaster relief. I didn't expect..." Han Anguo stopped, looked at Wei Qing's face, and shook his head.

Wei Qing's face turned pale, he hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Did Dou Qufei know?"

"I haven't told him yet. However, Wei Qihou should inform him."

"Why didn't Wei Qihou stop His Majesty?" Wei Qing was a little anxious. "There are floods in the east of the river, and the morale of the army is unstable. How can we march. The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is hot. Let alone fighting, many soldiers will not be able to withstand it even if they march normally. Moreover, the mountains are humid and mosquitoes are everywhere. It is easy to cause epidemics. The consequences Unbelievable."

"Zhongqing's careful planning is really different from others."

Wei Qing was a little embarrassed. "Actually, it's nothing. I've been here once before. My wife is from Minyue, and her father is a general of Minyue. He is very familiar with the climate here. I often hear them talk about it, so I naturally know better."

Han Anguo rolled his eyes. "Then tell me, will Dou Qufei know?"

Wei Qing thought about it. "Should know. He has been in Kuaiji for many years. Even if he didn't lead the army to fight, he should know how powerful it is."

"That's good." Han Anguo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to invite Dou Qufei.Before the messenger left, Dou Qufei broke in.He walked in a hurry, Yuanyuan's face was covered with sweat.As soon as he entered the tent, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw Wei Qing. "General Wei, are you there?"

Wei Qing nodded, but did not speak.Han Anguo took over the conversation. "Mr Dou Fu, you are in such a hurry, what happened?"

"Alas—" Dou Qufei sighed, "Han Gong, have you received the edict?"

Han Anguo nodded and looked at Dou Qufei calmly.Dou Qufei didn't notice Han Anguo's strangeness, and asked: "Han Gong, what are you going to do? Do you really want to continue marching?"

"I'm planning to invite you to discuss it. Lord Dou, how many years have you been the prefect of Kuaiji?"

"More than seven years, almost eight years."

"In seven or eight years, you should have passed two performance tests, right? What's the result?"

Dou Qufei was so embarrassed that he spread his hands. "It's really shameless. The two performance tests are not satisfactory, so I haven't been transferred from Kuaiji. Han Gong, let's get down to business. Are you planning to enter the army?"

"Your Fu has been in Kuaiji for seven or eight years and is more familiar with this place. Do you think you can enter the army?"

"Of course not." Dou Qufei blurted out. "What season is this? I'm sweating when I'm sitting still, not to mention marching and fighting. It's better to be close to the water here. If you go into the mountains, it's called deathly hot. Han Gong, you don't know... "

Dou Qufei complained for a long time as if he had been wronged a lot, until his mouth was dry and his throat was smoky, then he stopped talking.When Han Anguo saw it, he put down a big stone in his heart.Although he is a senior royal official and has a high position and authority, none of the two lieutenants assigned to him by the emperor can be ignored.Wei Qing is a close minister of the emperor, and Dou Qufei is Dou Ying's nephew, neither of which he can afford to offend.

Fortunately, they agreed on this matter, which saved him a lot of talking.

However, Han Anguo has been an official for many years, and he also has a certain understanding of the emperor, knowing that the edict issued by the emperor is definitely not a whim.To let the emperor get rid of this idea, you can't simply refuse, you must take care of the emperor's face.

Han Anguo discussed with Wei Qing and Dou Qufei, and finally made a decision.March in accordance with the edict, but the goal is not South Vietnam, but Minyue.The army entered Minyue, first broke the siege of South Vietnam, and then forced Minyue's internal vassals.When this matter is over, the summer will soon be over. At that time, whether to continue to attack South Vietnam, or to accept it as soon as it is good, depends on the mood of the emperor.

To force Minyue's internal vassals, force deterrence is inevitable, but in reality, Han Anguo decided to let Wei Qing go to the old place of Dongou to get in touch with his wife and father Zhengwu.Zhengwu was squeezed out in Fujian and Yue, and he was most likely to become the internal support of the Han army.If Zhengwu could appear to persuade the Minyue king's subordinates, then this battle would not have to be fought.If it is necessary to conquer by force, then conscription can also play a big role.

Taking down Minyue can at least give the emperor a step to make concessions.

Wei Qing readily agreed, and then boarded a building boat and crossed the sea to meet Zheng Wu.

Han Anguo immediately wrote to the court, reporting his plan, and at the same time asked Dou Qufei to write to Dou Ying, telling Dou Ying the dangers of entering the army in summer, and asking Dou Ying to explain in front of the emperor.Dou Qufei also agreed, and immediately wrote a letter home, asking the envoys to take it to Chang'an.

For several days in a row, Yan An felt weak and unable to cheer up.Not to mention participating in the exercise, even getting up and walking for two steps feels like my legs are fluttering.

Yan An fell, but Lang Guan beside him hadn't fallen yet.In order to give them a personal experience, Liang Xiao arranged for them to work in shifts, and practice with Qin Ge and others when they were not on duty.Langguan's physique is much stronger than Yan An's, and they don't have much choice except to serve in the army, so although they are complaining, they still barely support it.

Of course, it was inevitable to scold Yan An behind his back.If it wasn't for Yan An's whim, why would they suffer this kind of crime.

Liang Xiao didn't show up for a few days, and it wasn't until Yan An was so bored that grass grew in his heart that he brought Xi Ya to Yan An's cockpit calmly.

"Yan Jun, are you feeling better?"

With the help of the waiter, Yan An sat up and smiled feebly. "Liang Junhou, why are you free to visit me today?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "What are you talking about? Is it because I didn't come to see you?" He was not polite, and stretched out his hand to support Yan An. "Let's go out and get some fresh air. Being bored in the cabin every day, good people get sick from boredom."

Yan An was very weak and could only be carried out of the cabin by Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao had someone use cloth to prop up a shed on the deck, under the shed were two vouchers and a wooden case.Several plates of fruit were placed on the wooden case.The climate in South Vietnam is hot, and there is no shortage of fruits.The two sat under the shed, enjoying the wind and watching the green mountains and green waters.Yan An also felt that his heart was widened, and he was inexplicably relieved. He couldn't help but regret that he didn't come out earlier to breathe, and only knew to be bored in the cabin and think hard.

"We'll be in Panyu in two days, Lord Yan has a plan?" Liang Xiao picked up a lychee, peeled the shell, and handed it to Yan An. "Try it, this is the Lizhi mentioned in Sima Xiangru's Fu. You from Linzi may not have tasted it before."

Yan An took the lychee and said calmly, "I tasted it in Panyu last time when I was an envoy."

"Really?" Liang Xiao touched a soft nail, but didn't take it seriously. "Then do you know that you can't eat too much of this thing, because it's easy to get angry if you eat too much?"

Yan An was stunned, eating the litchi silently, without speaking.He knew about lychees, but he didn't know that eating too much lychees could easily get angry.When Liang Xiao said this, he was naturally not concerned about his body and reminded him to eat less, but implying that he knew one thing but didn't know the other, and dared to suggest that the emperor launch a war against South Vietnam without knowing anything about South Vietnam.

During these days in bed, Yan An was actually not idle.He's also thinking about how to end it.I have experienced it myself, and the Lang Guan around him complained that the 50 Qin army had made the same mistakes. If he still insisted on sending troops to conquer South Vietnam in the summer, he would simply be killing himself.Once the army is frustrated, Qin Ge and others will report what happened here to the ears of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely hold him accountable.

But, how can the emperor take back his life?
Yan An chewed on the sweet lychees, but couldn't taste any flavor.He felt that he had dug a hole for himself, and now he couldn't climb out, and Liang Xiao was standing by the hole, watching him desperately calling for help.

He couldn't figure out why he had come to this point.After studying for many years, he is full of knowledge and resourcefulness, but in the end he was laughed at by a martial artist.

Liang Xiao ate the lychees in a leisurely manner without urging Yan An.He knew what Yan An was probably thinking. He was a scholar with a thin skin, so it was not easy for him to admit defeat on his own initiative.However, now that things are going on, if Yan An is still stubborn and wants to encourage the emperor to send troops to conquer South Vietnam, he won't want to play with them anymore, and you can make as much trouble as you like.

Yan An was silent for a long time, until he chewed all the lychee cores, and then sighed: "Liang Junhou, in your opinion, this mission... how to achieve it?"

Liang Xiao thought for a while, then asked back: "Is it your mission, or mine?"

Yan An's mouth was bitter. "Is it possible to achieve my mission?"

"Why is it impossible?" Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "It will be a matter of time before the imperial court conquers South Vietnam. The only difference is when. Your plan can't be wrong. If you have to say that there is a mistake, it's just too hasty. If you take a longer view, it's not impossible. "
