Liang Xiao interrupted Zhao Guang's thoughts and said with a smile: "When will I compete again? Let me win the money back?"

Zhao Guang looked at Liang Xiao, and was even more suspicious, but he didn't ask much. ◇◇↓ Novel.￥f He looked at the Lang Guan who was training in the distance, and hesitated. Liang Xiao laughed out loud. "I'm afraid."

"Afraid" Zhao Guang was angry by Liang Xiao. He looked at him disdainfully and curled his lips. "Yes, your progress is indeed very fast, but if you want to win, it is still too far away. Since you are not afraid of losing, then we will compete with each other."

"Okay, you can arrange a time." Liang Xiao rubbed his hands, looking a little excited. "General Zhao, seeing that they were fighting lively, I felt a little itchy. Otherwise, we will also get over."

"We're ha," Zhao Guang said in surprise and shook his head repeatedly. "This is not possible. I have already taken the risk of letting my subordinates compete with you. If I hurt you again, that's amazing. No, no."

"I hurt me." Liang Xiao laughed loudly. "General Zhao, you have not done your intelligence collection work properly. Do you really know how I, the champion, earned me, Marquis?"

Zhao Guang's mouth was wavy and smiled disapprovingly. "We don't have any information collection, but the champion Hou is famous all over the world. We still know some of it. You went to the Western Regions and attacked the Huns, and you did have great military achievements. However, this is Nanyue, unlike the grassland, no matter how good your riding and shooting skills are, you can't play it out. Besides, the mountains are high and deep here. If you fall down from the mountain or fall into the river, then I can't afford it."

Seeing that Zhao Guang insisted, Liang Xiao did not force him. He wanted to compete with Zhao Guang himself, but he was anxious to eat hot tofu. He had time, so there was no need to rush for a while. He chatted with Zhao Guang, arranged the time for the men to compete again, and went down the ridge with Zhao Guang to meet Yan An.

"Is there a big difference between civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty?" Zhao Guang asked casually.

Liang Xiao turned his head to look at him and shook his head. "It's okay. There are some conflicts between people. After all, those who hit it off like you and me are limited. Although civil officials and military generals dislike each other, they are not that serious. There are too many people in the Han Dynasty who have both civil and military affairs. Today, Zi is the most outstanding example. He is not only good at riding and shooting, but also has poetry and essays, and is a role model. In terms of insight, it is even rare in the world."

"really"

"What's the point of lying to you?" Liang Xiao laughed out loud. "If you don't believe it, go and ask Yan An."

Zhao Guang didn't say anything. Liang Xiao knew that he would definitely ask others to ask Yan An in a turn to verify his judgment. The two countries competed. The ability of the monarch was a factor that must be considered. Although Zhao Guang was a warrior, he was always spying on the situation of the Han Dynasty. He revealed such an important information that Zhao Guang could not not verify.

And this is exactly his purpose.

The two went down the ridge and came to the boat, Liang Xiao saw Yan An.

Yan An was dark and thin, but very energetic, with a little indescribable excitement hidden in his eyes. When he saw Liang Xiao, Yan An squeezed out a smile and stepped forward to salute first, respectful but not losing his intimacy. "June, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Liang Xiao bowed and returned the greeting, and there was something in his words. "Yes, I didn't expect it." As he said that, he reached out and signaled Yan An to invite Yan An to his cabin. Yan An followed in. Liang Xiao sat down on the chairman by himself, picked up the kettle on the desk with one hand, poured himself a glass of water, and pointed at the seat opposite him. "Don't be polite, sit down."

Yan An took his seat and slowly tidied up his clothes until Liang Xiao finished drinking the water and his eyes fell on him again.

Liang Xiao's face was calm, and he could not see any excitement or surprise. He just looked at Yan An quietly. Yan An felt uncomfortable when he saw it. He wanted to smile a few times to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't laugh. He was very surprised. He had several contacts with Liang Xiao. The last time he was in Yuzhang, Liang Xiao was very enthusiastic about him, and he didn't feel any pressure. But today, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Liang Xiao withdrew his eyes and asked lightly: "What arrangement does Your Majesty have to do? Should I go to Panyu with you or go back to Yuzhang?"

"Uh," Yan An felt relieved and said quickly: "If Junhou is willing to surrender, of course I will go to Panyu. Yuzhang's affairs. It would be enough to have the Great Xing ordered Wang Hui to preside over the presidency."

"Your Majesty has arranged for you to come, and I guess he has denied the proposal of the Great Revolution." Liang Xiao poured another glass of water and sipped slowly. "What's the plan now? I don't know if I can inform me of it."

"Of course." Yan Anqiang smiled and said, "The emperor decided to force Nanyue. Just like convinced Wang Hui, he specifically emphasized the emperor's ruling trust crisis.

Liang Xiao was silent for a long time. He understood Yan An's meaning and knew that this was basically a fact. The emperor is not as confident as he is invincible, and he needs more victory to prove himself.

Liang Xiao regretted it a little. Although Emperor Wu of Han in history was eager for success, he was not so impulsive. It seemed that the battle of the Huns gave him an overestimation of the strength of the Han army. In his opinion, Nanyue was also easily defeated like the Huns. He didn't know that the reason why the battle against the Huns was so smooth was because of decades of preparation and the golden finger of his time traveler was working.

For South Vietnam, they do not have such obvious advantages.

"I have an appointment with Zhao Guang. If you are interested, you can take a look." Liang Xiao asked someone to call Qin Ge and others. "I have lost ten golds. Can you help me win back?"

Yan An showed a little embarrassment. Liang Xiao's words seemed inexplicable, but in fact they were reminding him of a fact. Facing the South Vietnamese soldiers, the Han army did not have as advantages as they expected. Whether it was Qin Ge and others, the Liang family's troops, they were all elite among the elites. If they all lost to the South Vietnamese, what advantages would the Han army soldiers led by Wang Hui have?

"This kind of small-scale appointment does not mean anything."

Liang Xiao glanced at Yan An without saying a word. He drank water silently and looked out the window from time to time. In the distance, on the Nanyue people's ship, Zhao Guang and Nanyue were standing side by side. I don't know when they were talking, but judging from the expressions they looked over from time to time, it should be related to Yan An's arrival.

Compared with the Han Dynasty's monarch and ministers underestimating the enemy, the Nanyue monarch and ministers at least the ministers were very cautious.

However, judging from the reactions of Dou Ying and others, this war is probably inevitable. The emperor needs this victory to prove himself, Yan An and Wang Hui need this victory to be promoted, while Dou Ying needs this war to reflect his achievements during this period. At the same time, he is given a chance to fight. Everyone wants to fight. He alone cannot stop him.

Sometimes, he even had an illusion that he was the only adult, and that others were young people who were young, including old ministers like Dou Ying, were suspected of being impulsive in thinking about things.

After a while, Qin Ge and others came. They were called from training, wearing South Vietnamese bamboo armor and wooden armor, with their arms open. The sweaty chest was exposed. A few steps away, Yan An frowned.

When they saw Yan An returning, they didn't know what had happened. Looking at Liang Xiao and Yan An, they were uneasy by the atmosphere in the cabin.

Liang Xiao said: "I have made an appointment with Zhao Guang and compare again. How sure are you?"

Qin Ge thought a little. "If we fight bravely and ruthlessly, we have 50% or 60% of the chance to win. But if we start from learning their tactics, it may only be 30% or 40%."

Liang Xiao turned his gaze to Yan An. "Jun Yan. Are you interested in participating in the war?"

"I" Yan An was surprised.

"Yes, I made them familiar with the war techniques of the South Vietnamese and prepared for future battles. If Yan Jun wants to make meritorious service, he should also understand it." Liang Xiao said slowly: "You also know that without military merit, you cannot be granted a marquis."

"I" Yan An was a little moved and a little uneasy, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He really wanted to make meritorious and was granted a title of marquis. As Liang Xiao said, if he had no military merit, it would be difficult for him to be granted a title of marquis. But in front of so many officials, he could not seem so impatient.

Liang Xiao saw Yan An's expression in his eyes and couldn't help but sneer. Is it so easy to make meritorious contributions, and you will know that the battle in the midsummer is not something that can be summarized by an understatement of surprise victory.

"Let's do this, don't rush to decide whether to join the war. Try to practice with them first, how to do it."

Yan An heard this and nodded repeatedly. If he refused to agree, Qin Ge and others would be angry.

Qin Ge and others were even more surprised when they heard Liang Xiao say that Yan An had the idea of ​​becoming a marquis. They also wanted to become a marquis through combat, but after this period of training, they knew that starting a war at this time was definitely not a wise decision, or even a disaster. Especially Qin Ge, Liang Xiao's suggestion was given to Wang Hui. Now it seems that the emperor rejected this suggestion and decided to launch the battle to conquer Nanyue immediately.

Yan An in front of him is likely to be the initiator.

In an instant, Qin Ge had an idea. He looked at Liang Xiao quietly and nodded. Liang Xiao smiled, his mouth was crooked, and his eyelids were lowered.

Qin Ge led Yan An out of the cabin, smiling and mannered. He was not Liang Xiao, and he was not qualified to be rude to Yan An.

"Doctor Yan, do you think you are wearing it like us or dressing in a more regular manner?" Qin Ge said enthusiastically: "We are all rough people, so it doesn't matter if we dress simply. Doctors are scholars, so I'm afraid they can't be too casual."

Yan An looked at the bamboo armor and wooden armor on Qin Ge and others, and thought it was not suitable. Considering that even if he participated in the war, he would not be able to visit the front line in person, and basic armor and clothing were still needed, he followed Qin Ge's advice and put on formal armor.

Metal armor is not only heavy, but also easily cut the skin on the edges. Therefore, to wear metal armor, you must line it with a thick battle robe. It was early June and the sun was scorching. As soon as the armor was on the upper body, Yan An felt that he was soaked in hot water, sweating all over, and the air was so hot that he could not breathe.

He regretted it a little, but was embarrassed to take it off. He asked him to wear the costumes of the Nanyue soldiers like Qin Ge, and he couldn't afford to lose that person. If it was spread to the emperor, it would be a stain.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on, maintain his demeanor as much as possible, and not raise his hand to wipe the sweat on his face.

Qin Ge and others saw it, smiled in their hearts, deliberately praised a few words, and persuaded Yan An to let all the men who protected him put on armor and participate in training together. Yan An couldn't refuse, so they responded one by one. However, the men changed their faces and cursed Yan An's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.

In this weather, I have to train me to stand here and feel dizzy. How can I run

Qin Ge and others, with pranks, said without saying a word, asked the officials to change their clothes, then took them to the formation, came to the bottom of the ridge, pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "Practice your footwork first, and get familiar with the mountain road."

After saying that, they spread their steps, flocked to Yan An, and ran towards the mountains.

Although he was dragged by the men, Yan An still complained. The mountain road in the forest was rugged, and branches swept across his face from time to time. Qin Ge and others ran anxiously, not caring about so many. Without walking a hundred steps, Yan An's face was scratched with blood marks, which was so painful. Sweat penetrated into the wound, which made his face twitch, hurting and itchy.

The distance of hundreds of steps made Yan An suffer all the hardships, and the officials who followed him complained. They did not know the purpose of Yan An coming to Nanyue, nor did they have the mental preparation to follow Yan An to make a contribution. They were suddenly pulled into the jungle to exercise, and naturally they complained.

However, they cannot blame Qin Ge. Their task is to protect Yan An. Yan An has participated in the exercise, so how can they stay out of it?

They gasped heavily, lowered their heads, pressed their helmets, and ran hard among the woods. Sweat was pouring out layer by layer, and the battle robe was soaked, all touching their bodies, pulling their legs, making them unable to take steps. They barely ran to the ridge, and some had heard the sound of water in the battle boots, and some simply sat on the ground, untied their armor regardless of the care, and slapped them with their hands.

Yan An was also tired and became a dog. Although the men and women were hot, they were warriors after all, and their physical fitness was much better. He was a real scholar. Not to mention wearing armor all over his body, even if he was asked to run empty-handed, he would feel difficult. When he arrived on the ridge, Qin Ge and others let go, he staggered and lay directly on the ground.

Qin Ge hurried over and helped him up. "Doctor, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Yan An's face turned pale and sweated profusely. He looked at the men who had pulled off his armor and suddenly envied them. He hoped that he could also ignore his image like them and cool down first. However, when he thought of his identity, he could not do this, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. His eyes were black, his legs were weak, and he could only lean against Qin Ge.

"I want to take a rest." Yan An regretted it, struggled to walk to a big tree and sat down leaning against the tree. Here, he could see the boat beside the water. When he thought of Liang Xiao sitting in the cabin, drinking tea and looking at the scenery, he felt his face burning.

With his intelligence, how could he not understand the intention of Liang Xiao’s proposal? It’s just that now, how can we make the emperor dispel the decision that has been made.

Yan An was in a dilemma.
