Chapter 491 (changxing)

Yan An felt regretful, but Qin Ge was still unsatisfied. He knew why Liang Xiao wanted Yan An to participate in the exercise, and did not let Yan An know how ridiculous it was to send troops in the summer. How could he give up his mind and change his mind?

"Doctor Yan, how about rest?" Qin Ge raised the sword in his hand and pointed to another mountain several miles away. "The end point is there, we must hurry up and set off. After dark, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the woods, and it may cause malaria. Oh, commonly known as slapped, but it will be troublesome."

"You still have to leave?" Yan An felt a little cold on his spine and the sweat on his body turned into cold sweat.

"How far have you been?" Qin Ge smiled, showing a little disapproval. Ten days ago, they had a kind of fear when they just started training. But now, they are used to such distances. In fact, for battles, several miles are really nothing. If they can't even overcome this, what else can they talk about?

Qin Ge urged, "Go away quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Then, without waiting for Yan An to agree, he signaled the two men to set up Yan An and ran away.

Yan An couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he had to drag his heavy legs and run with Qin Ge and others.

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

As the saying goes, when he runs to death on the mountain, Qin Ge pointed lightly, and the straight line distance is only a few miles away. Yan An was so hot that he didn't realize the problem. When he entered the forest, he was so tired that he was so tired that he was out of breath. He was in a hurry when the mountain was still in the distance.

“How far is it?”

"It's soon, it's soon." Qin Ge responded, panting as if. Even though they had been training for more than ten days and were dressed very cool, they still felt very difficult. Every time he was at this time, he admired Liang Xiao very much. It was his first time to come to Nanyue, so why could Liang Xiao think of these things, but they just couldn't think of them? What's even more annoying is that it was not the first time Yan An came. Not long ago, he had already come to Nanyue, so why did he come up with such a bad idea?

Of course he could not imagine that Yan An had no idea. First, he was walking on a relatively flat road and never crept through the mountains and forests; second, it was winter at that time, and the temperature was not very high. Of course, the more fundamental reason was that Yan An was a strategist. He was used to making plans, moving his mouth instead of his legs. If he had not been confused for a while, and was eager to make contributions and deceived by Liang Xiao, he would never have 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. When he just walked to the bottom of the ridge, Yan An fainted from heatstroke.

Qin Ge did not dare to neglect, so he immediately canceled the exercise. Without saying a word, he stripped Yan An to only have a pair of shorts, and then sent Yan An back to the ship. He called a doctor to treat him. He rushed to report to Liang Xiao himself.

Liang Xiao leaned against the window, looking at the scenery. After listening to the report, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Although he was mentally prepared, Yan An fainted from heatstroke, which was beyond his expectations. It seemed that Yan An's body was much weaker than he probably thought.

"Is it in the way?"

"The doctor said it, it's not a problem." Qin Ge smiled, feeling a bit proud of the prank. He had an instinctive rejection of a strategist like Yan An. Yan An also wanted to make meritorious service, which made him even more disgusted. Even with your physique, you also want to make military achievements? "But it's not enough to get better for a few days, there is always something."

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 myself."

"Well. Go." Liang Xiao waved his hand and sighed. "Actually, I hope he can hold on. After all, he is a knowledgeable person, not a scholar. If he can integrate knowledge and action, he will definitely make some contributions in the future."

Qin Ge blinked, and stopped talking, and turned around and left.

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

Wei Qing turned over and dismounted and hurried into the central army camp with Wei Tao. In front of the central army tent of the Censor Han Anguo, he stopped, stood upright, and called in loudly. "General Wei Qing, the chariot and cavalry, was ordered to come and pay homage."

A moment later, Han Anguo pushed out the tent, held Wei Qing's hand, and led him into the tent. "Zhongqing, you are here so quickly."

Wei Qing smiled honestly. "As soon as I received the order from Mr. Han, I rushed over immediately. Mr. Han, why is it so urgent?"

Han Anguo let go of Wei Qing's hand, walked to the desk, leaned over and picked up an edict, handed it to Wei Qing's hand. He patted Wei Qing's hand and sighed. "Zhongqing, take a look, think about it, and give me a reply."

Seeing that Han Anguo was so cautious, Wei Qing did not dare to neglect, so he quickly launched the edict. Halfway through reading, Wei Qing's face changed.

This is the edict from the emperor to ask them to march into Nanyue, not the edict they hoped to withdraw.

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

"Yes, attack Nanyue." Han Anguo smiled bitterly: "When I first received the edict, I reacted like you. I originally thought that the Yellow River would break, and the emperor would cancel the war and put disaster relief first, but I didn't expect..." Han Anguo stopped, looked at Wei Qing's face, and shook his head.

Wei Qing's face turned pale, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Do you know?"

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

"Why didn't Wei Qihou stop Your Majesty?" Wei Qing was a little anxious. "The flood in Jiangdong and the morale of the army was unstable. How can we march? The Jiangnan was hot. Not to mention fighting, even if we marched normally, many soldiers would not be able to withstand it. Moreover, the mountains were wet and mosquitoes were everywhere, which could easily cause epidemics and the consequences were unimaginable."

"Zhongqing's thoughts are very thoughtful, and it is indeed different."

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

Han Anguo's eyes rolled. "Then do you think Dou Qufei will know?"

Wei Qing thought for a while. "It should be known. He has been in Kuaiji for many years. Even if he has not led 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 very quickly, and his round face was covered with sweat. As soon as he entered the tent, he couldn't help but be stunned. "General Wei, are you here too?"

Wei Qing nodded without saying a word. Han Anguo took over the conversation. "Mr. Dou Fu, you are so anxious. What happened?"

"Oh," Dou Qufei sighed: "Duke Han, have you received the edict?"

Han Anguo nodded and looked at Dou Qufei calmly. Dou Qufei did not notice Han Anguo's abnormality and asked: "Han Gong. What are you going to do? Do you really want to continue marching?"

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

"It's been more than seven years, almost eight years."

"In seven or eight years, I should have gone through two performance exams, right? What's the result?"

Dou Qufei was embarrassed and spread his hands. "I was so shameless. I didn't have the best performance exams, so I was unable to transfer from Kuaiji. Han Gong, let's talk about business, are you planning to enter?"

"The Duke of the House has been in Kuaiji for seven or eight years and is more familiar with this place. Do you think you can enter?"

"Of course not." Dou Qufei blurted out. "What season is this? I'm sweating all over while sitting, let alone marching. It's better to have a close water here. If I enter the mountain, it's going to be so hot. Mr. Han, you don't know..."

Dou Qufei felt like he was wronged. He complained for a long time in one breath until his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking. Then he stopped talking. When Han Anguo saw it, he felt a big stone in his heart. Although he was a censor and had a high position and a powerful position, none of the two deputy generals that the emperor gave him could be ignored. Wei Qing was a close minister of the emperor, and Dou Qufei was Dou Ying's nephew, and he could not afford to offend either.

Fortunately, their opinions were consistent in this matter, which also saved him from having to worry about it.

However, Han Anguo has been an official for many years and has a certain understanding of the emperor. He knows that the emperor is definitely not a whim to issue this edict. If the emperor wants to let the emperor give up this idea, he cannot simply refuse, and he must take care of the emperor's face.

Han Anguo, Wei Qing, Dou Qufei discussed it and finally made a decision. He marched according to the edict, but the purpose was not Nanyue, but Minyue. The army entered Minyue and first lifted the siege of Nanyue. Then he forced the subordinates of Minyue. When this matter was over, summer was about to pass. At that time, it was time to continue attacking Nanyue, and it would be better to stop when it was better, and then it depends on the emperor's mood.

To force the subordinates of Minyue, it is inevitable to deter the military force. However, from the actual dispatch of troops, Han Anguo decided to ask Wei Qing to go to the former land of Dongou again to contact his wife and father Zhengwu. Zhengwu was excluded in Fujian and Yue, and he was most likely to become the internal support of the Han army. If Zhengwu could act as a stimulus to persuade the subordinates of the Minyue King, then this battle would be unnecessary. If it was necessary to conquer by force, Zhengwu could also play a significant role.

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

Wei Qing agreed immediately, and then took a boat to cross the sea to meet Zhengwu.

Han Anguo immediately wrote to the court to report his plan. At the same time, he asked Dou Qufei to write a letter to Dou Ying, telling Dou Ying about the dangers of the advance of the summer army, and asked Dou Ying to explain more in front of the emperor. Dou Qufei also agreed and immediately wrote a letter from home, asking the envoy to take it to Chang'an together.

For several days, Yan An felt weak and unable to get angry. Not to mention participating in the exercise, even when he got up and walked two steps, he felt that his legs were floating.

Yan An fell down, and the Langguan beside him had not yet fallen. In order to give them a personal experience, Liang Xiao arranged their shifts and practiced with Qin Ge and others when they were not on duty. The Langguan behaved much better physically than Yan An. They did not have many choices except for making meritorious service in the army, so although they complained, they still barely supported them.

Of course, it is inevitable to scold Yan An in secret. If Yan An hadn't been on a whim, why would they suffer such a crime?

Liang Xiao didn't show up for several days. It was not until Yan An was so depressed that he brought Xiya to Yan An's cockpit with him.

"Yan Jun, are you getting better?"

With the help of the waiter, Yan An sat up and smiled weakly. "Mr. Liang Jun, why do you have time to see me today?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "What are you saying? Is it because I didn't see you?" He was not polite, and reached out to hold Yan An. "Go out and get some breath. I'm stuck in the cabin every day. Good people are sick."

Yan An was very weak and could only be carried out of the cabin by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao asked someone to use cloth to support a shed on the deck. Two pieces of the shed and one wooden table were placed under the shed. A few plates of fruit were placed on the wooden table. The climate in Nanyue was hot, and there was no shortage of fruit. The two sat under the shed, blowing the wind, watching the green mountains and clear waters, and were happy. Yan An also felt broader and relaxed a lot. He couldn't help but regret not coming out to breathe earlier, and only knew that he was stuck in the shed and thought hard.

"I will arrive in Panyu in two days. Does Yan Jun have a plan?" Liang Xiao picked up a lychee, peeled the shell, and handed it to Yan An. "Try it, this is what Sima Xiangru said in the poem "Lizhi. You are a native of Linzi, you may have never tasted it."

Yan An took the lychee and said lightly: "I tasted it in Panyu last time when I was on a mission."

"Is that right?" Liang Xiao touched a soft nail, but disagreed. "Then do you know that you can't eat too much of this thing. Eating too much will make you feel angry?"

Yan An was stunned and ate lychees silently without saying anything. He knew lychees, but he didn't know that eating too much lychees would make you angry. Liang Xiao said this, so he was not concerned about his body and reminded him to eat less, but imply that he knew one thing but not the other. He dared to suggest that the emperor launch a war against Nanyue after only knowing it, he would dare to suggest that the emperor launch a war against Nanyue.

Yan An was not idle these days when he was bedridden. He was also considering how to end it. He had experienced it personally, and the officials around him complained that the mistakes of the 500,000 Qin troops were ahead. If he insisted on sending troops to fight against Nanyue in the summer, it would be a death sentence. Once the army was frustrated, Qin Ge and others would convey the situation here to the emperor, and the emperor would definitely hold him accountable.

But how can the emperor take back his life?

Yan An chewed the sweet lychees, but couldn't taste any taste. He felt that he had dug a pit for himself, but now he couldn't get out, and Liang Xiao stood by the pit, watching him cry for help in despair.

He couldn't understand why he had fallen to this point. He had been studying for many years, was knowledgeable and resourceful, but in the end he was laughed at by a martial artist.

Liang Xiao ate lychees slowly and did not urge Yan An. He knew what Yan An was thinking. As a scholar, he had a thin skin. It was not easy to let him take the initiative to admit defeat. However, at this point, if Yan An was still stubborn and insisted on inciting the emperor to send troops to conquer Nanyue, he would not want to play with them. You can do whatever you want.

Yan An was silent for a long time until he chewed the lychee cores, then sighed: "Mr. Liang Jun, in your opinion, how should this mission be achieved...?"

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

Yan An was bitter. "Is there any possibility of achieving my mission?"

"Why is it impossible?" Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "It will take a moment to conquer Nanyue in the court. The only difference is when. Your plan cannot be wrong. If you have to say something wrong, it is just a bit too urgent. If you look at it for a long time, there is nothing impossible." —
