"Chen Yan, welcome the angel!"

At the northern end of Taihang County, at the gate of the Han military camp outside Gaodu City, Wei Yan and his followers were welcoming the team coming from Chang'an in the west.

Fei Yi, who had just got out of the car, saw this and quickly walked forward to help Wei Yan:

"General Zuo Hussar is an important minister of the country, and he also leads troops abroad to make contributions to the country. This time I came here to serve the army on the orders of the emperor."

"General Zuo Hussar, you don't need to be so polite. Please get up. Please get up quickly."

Wei Yan heard this and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the officers and men of the army!"

Fei Yi once again read out the livestock meat and various supplies brought this time.

Only then, led by Wei Yan, entered the camp.

Wei Yan has a bad character and few people can associate with him.

If he had to find someone who could talk to him, Fei Yi would probably be one of the very few.

When the Prime Minister was here, Wei Yan and Yang Yi were incompatible with each other. Whenever they sat next to each other, there would always be arguments.

Wei Yan was a martial artist, and his words and skills were naturally inferior to that of Yang Yi. When he became angry, he drew his sword and tried to kill Yang Yi, which made Yang Yi burst into tears.

At such times, Fei Yi would often sit in the middle and give advice to the two of them.

So this time the palace sent Fei Yi here, which can be regarded as a thoughtful effort.

After a brief military cleansing banquet, Wei Yan invited Fei Yi into the commander's tent:

"The conditions in the army are simple and the food is rough. Don't be surprised if you invite angels."

Fei Yi smiled and said:

"If General Hussar said this, he is too out of touch. Yi has also been with the army many times, so how come he doesn't know what's going on in the army?"

The two sat down separately as host and guest, and Fei Yi asked about military affairs as usual.

Wei Yan answered them one by one.

Fei Yi asked about the battle situation again:

"Now that General Hussar has been leading the army to defeat thieves for a long time, I dare to ask General Hussar what his plan is?"

"Huh?" Wei Yan looked at Fei Yi and frowned, "But His Majesty has an order?"

"No, no," Fei Yi waved his hand quickly, "Before Yi set out, His Majesty once said that all matters in Hedong will be decided by the hussar general."

"But," Fei Yi said here and paused for a moment, "a few days ago, the State of Wu sent an envoy over, and it was Sun Quan's son-in-law Zhu Zhi and Zhu Zifan."

"Oh?" Wei Yan showed a slightly interested expression.

Although he was at odds with Feng Mingwen, Wei Yan had to admit that Feng Mingwen had unique methods in riding combat that were difficult for ordinary people to match.

Therefore, Wei Yan naturally heard about Zhu Ju who came to the Han Dynasty to learn how to ride and fight:

"Didn't Zhu Ju return to Wudi? Was he sent here again this time?"

Fei Yi nodded: "Exactly, and when he came this time, he also brought a secret letter from Emperor Wu."

Wei Yan's expression became solemn:

"But something has changed in Wu Wei?"

His Majesty sent himself to Hedong as the governor of Hedong. The original purpose was to cooperate with the Wu State in conquering Wei.

Of course, after all, His Majesty rarely leads troops into battle, so he does not know much about what happened before the battle.

Therefore, when sending troops this time, the power was entirely given to him, how to fight and how to fight. His Majesty did not make any demands.

Although he said that, Wei Yan was also a veteran in the army, so how could he not know that this was not a good time to send troops.

So on the surface, he mobilized his troops and made a huge noise, not only to give Wu an explanation, but also to disgust the Central Protectorate.

To be precise, it was to disgust someone named Feng:

So what if you unified the Chinese and foreign militaries? I only act according to His Majesty's orders. My son of the Feng family, you are not qualified to dictate to the Hedong Governor's Mansion.

According to the agreed time, Wu State should have already gone north to attack Wei.

Therefore, Wei Yan judged that the envoy sent by Wu State at this time brought a secret message, which was probably related to the battle between Wu and Wei.

Fei Yi raised his hand and said:

"Congratulations, General Hussar! In the secret message Zhu Ju brought over, he asked the Central Governor to lead his troops out of Wuguan to attack the Wei thieves."

"According to the opinion of the Central Protector, this is most likely Lu Xun's plan. He wants to attract the attention of the Jingzhou rebel army with the help of the Han Dynasty, so that he can take the opportunity to capture Xiangyang."

Wei Yanhuo Ranqi:

"Feng Mingwen led his troops to Wuguan?"

"Exactly."

Wei Yan's face suddenly darkened. He did not sit down again, but paced back and forth for a few steps, and then he said:

"Lu Xun is taking Xiangyang in the south. Could it be that he wants to take Wancheng in the north?"

"Uh, Yi doesn't know about this."

Fei Yi really didn't know. After all, the judgments and decisions made by the Central Protectorate on military and state affairs were basically only known to the palace before they were made public.

Even Jiang Wan, the Minister of Public Affairs, knew one thing but not the other.

"Humph, if it is Lu Xun's plan, then the person who leads the troops to attack Xiangyang is probably Lu Xun himself."

Although Wei Yan's emotional intelligence was low, he was much better at leading the army than Fei Yi.

After thinking for a while, he guessed something, and he sneered again:

"Feng Yong is in the north and Lu Xun is in the south. The Wei thieves only occupy half of Jingzhou. If they are flanked by these two people, it will be difficult for them to do anything good."

When Fei Yi mentioned this, his intention was not to provoke. Unexpectedly, when Wei Yan heard Feng Mingwen's name, he would be like water splashing in a frying pan.

He couldn't help but feel a headache.

"General Hussar and the Central Protector responded to Lu Xun's request and led the troops out of Wuguan. They also mobilized part of the garrison at Tongguan."

"The hussar general has been leading troops to fight against thieves for a long time, and the soldiers are also tired. Therefore, the Central Protectorate has considered over and over again, and wants to let some of the soldiers go to Tongguan to rest..."

Before Fei Yi finished speaking, Wei Yan made a "duh" sound and shouted:

"Fei Wenwei, do you want to bully me? Why are the soldiers tired? Someone clearly saw that I was unable to attack high ground for a long time, so they took the opportunity to cause trouble and wanted to reduce my strength!"

Seeing Wei Yan like this, Fei Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then whispered:

"General Hussar, Tongguan is the barrier in the middle of Guanzhong. If Tongguan is not stable, Chang'an will be unstable."

"Now that the troops in Tongguan are dissatisfied with the numbers, the hussar general does not necessarily want to capture Gaodu. Instead of letting the soldiers compete in sumo wrestling here, it is better to send some troops to Tongguan to garrison."

If it weren't for Fei Yi, whom he rarely spoke to, Wei Yan would have drawn his sword and chased him away.

But when he saw him waving his hand, he became a little angry:

"Young Master Feng took Tongguan's soldiers and made his own merits, but asked me to help him replace Tongguan's soldiers. What's the difference between this and asking me to help him make meritorious deeds?"

In the past, the prime minister used Feng Mingwen instead of Wei Wenchang. It really made sense!

In order to check and balance Feng Mingwen, the palace did not hesitate to go against the prime minister's wishes. I don't know whether it was good or bad.

"General Wei!" Fei Yi couldn't help but raise his voice: "There is a personal grudge between you and the Central Protector."

"Are you going to abandon official duties because of personal grudges, and even disregard the emperor's safety?"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment.

I don't know if it was because of Fei Yi's words or Fei Yi's scolding.

Fei Yi did not wait for Wei Yan to react and continued:

"In the past, the palace decided to establish the Hedong Governor's Office, but the Central Protector also opposed it. When General Hussar decided to send troops to Gaodu, the Central Protector almost wanted to use the power of the Central Protector's Office to stop it."

"But after the Hussars General received His Majesty's support and the dispatch of troops became a fait accompli, the Central Protectorate did not face any difficulty in providing food for the troops."

"Even the engineering battalion is allowed to be used by the hussar generals at will. This is why the Central Protector puts official affairs first and national affairs as the most important thing."

"Now that we see the hussar generals obstructing state affairs with personal grudges, and comparing the two, I'm afraid that by then everyone will say that the hussar generals are not as good as the central government's guardians!"

"The hussar general seemed to be fighting for his victory, but he actually lost people's expectations. This is not what a wise man would do."

After hearing Fei Yi's words, Wei Yan opened his mouth, but no words came out. In the end, he could only wave his hands bitterly.

If it were anyone else, Wei Yan wouldn't care what others say.

Anyway, he had no friendship with his colleagues.

But only Feng Mingwen can’t!

He would never allow others to compare himself and Feng Mingwen like this.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan could only reluctantly grit his teeth and said:

"In that case, let Jiang Boyue lead the troops."
