Under Yan Hu's repeated care, Yan Wuji successfully filled all the steamed buns on the table and the gruel in the pot into his stomach.

"That's like the words, a big man should eat a lot, so that his body will be stronger." Yan Hu looked at the empty pots and bowls, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hiccup..."There was a long burp, Yan Wuji looked at his father a little helplessly, caring about his son is not as concerned as you, what if you eat a bad stomach, I knew that I wouldn't eat it at the camp.

The father and son had breakfast, and their own guards came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Yan Hu stood up and motioned for Yan Wuji to walk around with him, digesting and digesting by the way.

"I received a letter from the emperor last night, one for me and one for you." After walking a distance, Yan Hu didn't seem to use the identity of a commander to talk to him about the military as Yan Wuji thought, but still maintained his father's kindness, just like a father and son chatted, and started a formal topic.

Yan Wuji followed by his side and hummed softly, indicating that he was listening, Yan Hu continued: "I didn't read the letter to you, I'll give it to you when you go back later, you can just read it yourself." ”

"The letter to me is a bit of a miscellaneous, but generally speaking, it is two things: the first is that the Humont army besieging the town of Shema is about to retreat; The second is to list back to Humeng, so that my side can be prepared to deal with Humeng's real southward movement. ”

"The Humont army besieging the town of Shema is retreating?" Yan Wuji couldn't help but wonder how His Majesty the Emperor knew.

Yan Hu nodded and said, "It is indeed retreated, I received a report from Qiu Xin this morning, and the army besieging Xiema Town had already retreated three days ago." ”

Yan Wuji frowned deeply, as the commander of the Northwest Army, he only received the news this morning, how could the emperor who was far away in Yanjing receive the news so quickly, even if he used the fastest eight hundred li expedited, it was impossible to be so fast, and he still bypassed the Northwest Army.

Since the formal way is impossible, there is only one reason, and that is behind the scenes of Hu Mengbing's siege of Xiema Town, and he Yan Shuyi is there.

looked at his father in disbelief, and Yan Hu also read his thoughts from Yan Wuji's eyes, and said quietly: "The game between the top leaders is so cruel!" ”

"But that's more than a hundred lives!" A trace of anger suddenly rose in Yan Wuji's heart.

Yan Hu shook his head, he was also quite helpless, but he also explained habitually: "Don't say that there are more than a hundred lives, as long as the people above think that it is worth it, it is thousands, and they will not frown." ”

Yan Wuji seemed to want to argue something, but was interrupted by Yan Hu waving his hand, only to hear him continue: "Do you remember the incident when Emperor Hui set up Anping Jun Jinhe? ”

Yan Wuji nodded.

"You must know that Jinhe at that time had most of the country's troops in his hands, and it was not easy to overthrow him, but Emperor Hui succeeded in doing it, and his success was filled by 35,758 lives."

When Yan Hu reported this number, Yan Wuji was stunned, he had only heard that Emperor Hui was eloquent and strategic, in order to suppress the Jin family and avoid the situation of losing power, he successfully put the high-ranking Pinglan Junjin and the air, which really made Yan Wuji admire.

But what I didn't expect was that behind this, there were so many lives on my back.

Yan Hu smiled indifferently, "I didn't expect it, Jinhe's descendant Yan Yunjun has 20,000, Yanjing City's northern patrol battalion has 5,000, Jinhe's cousin Jinbiao's department has 10,000 people, and all the backbone generals of the Jinhe family and their families have 758 people, and all of them have been executed." ”

When these words came out, it seemed to be a little cruel to Yan Wuji, but the fact is that some seemingly beautiful things will be broken sooner or later, rather than letting Yan Wuji lose his mind because he saw the facts, it is better to pull these things away now, so that Yan Wuji can take a clear look and look carefully.

Yan Wuji didn't speak, but Yan Hu continued.

"Now you have also seen this Dayan, the struggle for power and profit between the high-level leaders, the increasing corruption of the imperial elites, no matter which one is a hidden danger that can make the empire collapse, and the only thing that can support Dayan is the force, only the army.

But if you look at the world, although the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom is still our Yan family, the sharp weapon in his hand has almost been seized by others. “

Yan Wuji understands this, there are a total of ten states in Dayan, and six legions are assigned to be responsible for defense, Jizhou, where Yanjing is located, and Huzhou, which is adjacent to the south, are under the control of the First Legion, and the commander of the First Legion is the current regent An Pingjun Jinran.

Yan and Yunzhou belong to the Second Army, Zhongzhou and Shuzhou belong to the Fourth Army, and the commander of the Second Army, Gu Liangchen, and the commander of the Fourth Army, Zuo Shidao, are all brought out by Jinran and belong to Jinran's henchmen.

Yuezhou, which was in charge of the Third Legion, and Jingzhou, which was in charge of the Fifth Legion, was the old team of Jingyue State, and they were not of the same mind with Yan from beginning to end, and they were only surrendered by the power of Great Yan, but since the rebellion of Yan Youchu led to a great decline in the national strength of Yan State, they have always listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and these two states are like warlords in addition to the taxes they routinely pay every year.

And the armed forces that are really in the hands of the royal family of Yan are only the Sixth Army in the hands of Yan Hu, and the defense area of the Sixth Army is Dingzhou in the northwest and Caizhou in the north, although the Sixth Army has 200,000 in the establishment, 100,000 more than other legions, but the more people, the greater the consumption.

Therefore, Yan Hu tightly held the military power of the Northwest Legion, which is also the last sharp blade in the hands of the Yan royal family, just like the legendary dragon guarding his precious treasures, if anyone shows a slight tendency to covet, he will not hesitate to devour this person.

And now Yan Hu, who has gray sideburns, is cultivating his successor with all his heart, so he can't let this successor have any mistakes, which is why Yan Wuji sent the letter to Yuguan, Yan Hu no longer let him go back to rest the horse.

But sometimes Yan Hu thinks that he can't protect him for a while, and many things still need to be taken into danger before he can be paid attention to, so Yan Hu is actually conflicted in his heart, he wants Yan Wuji to be safe and sound, and he wants him to grow up quickly.

After talking about the content of Yan Shuyi's letter, Yan Hu began to talk to Yan Wuji about the matter on Qiu Xin's letter again, needless to say, the retreat of Hu Mengjun, mainly about the posthumous award of the fallen soldiers and the matter of the new right guard Qianzong in Xiema Town, these are naturally inevitable to talk about those who died and the breakthrough that day, which is undoubtedly something that will affect Yan Wuji's nerves.

But Yan Wuji's performance was better than Yan Hu imagined, at least he could give posthumous advice to these fallen soldiers very objectively according to the relevant laws and regulations of Dayan without any personal emotions.

This made Yan Hu quite pleased, it seemed that the teaching of these days had not been in vain, and Yan Wuji in front of him seemed to be one step closer to a qualified army commander.

After chatting about the posthumous award, he then talked about the selection of the right guard of Xiema Town.

"Qiu Xin's letter said that a person named Liu Zhilan is now taking up the post of the temporary right guard Qian, what do you think of this person?" Yan Hu had never met Liu Zhilan, but he had mentioned this person many times in some of the letters Qiu Xin had submitted to him.

"Mr. Liu is indeed a very talented person, careful and brave and resourceful, and the battalion commander recommended him to serve as the head of the right guard, and the child thinks it is very appropriate."

"Hmm" Yan Hu nodded, but didn't ask, but looked at Yan Wuji in turn and said, "But my father wants you to go." ”

Yan Wuji was slightly stunned, a little surprised, he is only a lieutenant now, and there is a deputy commander from the position of the general manager, although it is only a position, but the things contained in it are very different, the lieutenant is only responsible for a single branch, and when fighting, he only needs to understand the position and usefulness of his own class in this battle, such as cavalry, then I am only responsible for charging into battle.

The general manager is different, because the general manager is responsible for the command and deployment of all the troops under his command, when and what troops, which arms should cooperate in different combat situations to be more advantageous, it can be said that the difference between the general manager and the captain is equivalent to the difference between the cook and the pier worker.

"Don't you have faith?" Yan Hu looked at Yan Wuji with a smile, and there was no look of disappointment or anger in his eyes.

Yan Wuji shook his head, "No, I just think it's unfair to Mr. Liu." ”

"There is no absolutely fair thing in this world, and I have also checked that Liu Zhilan, the side line of Liu Xian's lineage, logically speaking, he can no longer be an official, but talent is rare, let him be your deputy."

Seeing that Yan Hu said this, Yan Wuji couldn't shirk anymore, nodded and promised to do so, Yan Hu patted Yan Wuji's shoulder, which was a kind of encouragement.

"You go back and pack up, and tomorrow you will leave for Yanjing with my letter."

"Back to Yanjing?" Yan Wuji had a short path in his mind for a while, and he didn't understand why he wanted to go to Yanjing.

"You bastard!" Yan Hu scolded with a smile: "The posthumous edict is only available to you, and the bereavement work for the families of the martyrs also has to be done by the household department." ”

Yan Wuji secretly scolded himself for being so stupid, speaking of Yan Jing, speaking of Yan Shuyi, it seems that he really hasn't seen him for several years, and that naughty little Hongzi, the fierce Yan Changfeng, must have grown up now, even if he has experienced so many hardships in this northwest over the years, but when he thinks of them, his heart is still warm, and there is an urge to see them immediately.

And once this impulse appears, it can no longer be suppressed.

Looking at the joy that loomed on Yan Wuji's face, Yan Hu certainly knew what his son was thinking, "Let's go back and clean up after lunch, it's not bad for a while." ”

"I've got some support now, father"

"If you are told to stay, you will stay, and when you return to Yanjing, remember to go to your mother's grave to pay respects, and say hello to her on my behalf."

"I understand, father."

……

Yan Wuji sat alone outside the account and looked at the night sky, holding the letter that Yan Shuyi wrote to him alone, there was nothing major, all of them were talking about the changes in Yanjing City in the past few years, the growth of Xiao Hongzi and Yan Changfeng, and the fact that he sent the two to Yunzhou on an errand.

Of course, it was more of a little complaining to blame Yan Wuji for why he didn't write a letter to himself and so on.

The stars are very bright at night, just like the night when the four of them worshipped, and I don't know what they are doing now, are they also looking at the starry sky like themselves, thinking of their brothers and sisters in the distance?
