That night, the lights in Yan Xing's tent were not extinguished, and the guests of honor were happy, drunk and slept together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Yan Xing had another day of drinking and having fun with Zhao Hong and Li Piao. At dusk, Li Biao and Zhao Hong returned happily. Not long after the two left, Yan Xing had just walked into his military tent for a while, and the guards reported that Yan Shun from Zuotun was coming, Yan Xing hesitated, thought about it, and asked people to recruit Yan Shun in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Shun entered the tent, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", Yan Xing looked at him, only to see that he was naked, carrying a thorn on his back, although he was trembling, he still knocked his head to the ground a few times, and his forehead suddenly became purple. He trembled and said:

"Shun last night was not strict on duty, causing outsiders to frighten the army at the camp gate, according to the law in the army, those who are not strict on duty are slow troops, and they should be beheaded according to the law! Although Shun is blunt, he does not dare to escape the punishment, and he is specially punished! ”

Yan Xing looked at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground in front of him and was silent for a while. Undoubtedly, I was a little angry at first. After all, in the days when he was not in the camp, he had always handed over the military affairs of the whole army to Yan Shun, although he also left his henchmen to secretly monitor, but Yan Xing thought that he had vigorously cultivated Yan Shun, his own son. But the other party was so negligent, and suddenly Yan Xing, who felt that the mud couldn't support the wall, had the urge to remove Yan Shun from his position.

But after Yan Xing calmed down and rethought the ins and outs of this matter, he suddenly became enlightened again. Imagine that Yan Shun is his own clansman, and he is known for his modesty and calmness in the army on weekdays, even if he learns that Li Biao and Zhao Hong want to raise such a play, it is impossible to restrain or obstruct each other with military decrees, after all, the dignity of Li and Zhao's identities is there, if he really has a conflict with Li Biao and Zhao Hong because of this matter, it is really a dead military law and stupidity.

But when it comes to negligence, it is not nothing, that is, although Yan Shun cannot directly prevent Li and Zhao from acting at the camp gate, he can send soldiers to inform Yan Xing in advance, if he encounters a harsh general, Yan Shun's negligence will naturally be punished, but Yan Xing is an open-minded person, and he also knows Yan Shun's temperament, so he will naturally not punish him more.

Yan walked over, helped Yan Shun up, took off the thorn on his back, and untied his mink fur to put it on him, and said gently:

"Li and Zhao have a very close relationship with me, and I also know that Li Boju is really a person of temperament, I don't intend to blame anyone for this matter, but why didn't you send someone to inform me at that time, I thought there was a change in the camp at that time!"

Yan Shun was moved by Yan Xing's behavior of pushing clothes, and a middle-aged man in his thirties had a little choked up in his voice, and he hesitated and said:

"At that time, I learned that the two gentlemen Li and Zhao wanted to do this at the gate of the camp after visiting, and Shun was also hesitant at the time, and immediately summoned the horses, Gan, and Yan Zhujun in the camp to come to discuss.

"Just what?"

Yan Shun looked at Yan Xing's face, and after finding that the other party showed no signs of anger, he gritted his teeth and continued:

"It's just that at that time, Gan Jun thought that after the army returned from the east, he went to the banquet all day long, only knew how to go and drink, but he was not close to the soldiers, I am afraid that he had been lost by the wine and rhetoric of those generals in the army, if he could use the hands of Zhao and Li to make the soldiers come to their senses, he was willing to be punished for the crime of slow army!"

Speaking of this, Yan Shun was about to bow down again, and continued in his mouth:

"But Shun is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the army, and the punishment of this slow army should be borne by Shun alone!"

This time, Yan Shun didn't bow down, and was held by a powerful big hand just halfway through, and Yan Xing's sincere voice sounded in his ears.

"Why this, why this!"

Supporting Yan Shun, Yan Xing was indeed very emotional in his heart, in his opinion, the army is far from being just a ruthless killing tool as many people think, it is not just a group of men gathered together for fame and fortune, the army also has its own feelings and glory, but in the eyes of many people and even some people in the art of war, these are not worth talking about. Although Yan Xing was a little surprised, he also felt that it was reasonable.

First of all, the relationship between the light knight represented by Ganling and him is a relationship between the lord and the guest, although Dong Zhongshu has proposed the "three outlines and five constants" in the previous dynasty, but these guidelines often evolved into "the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die" is not until after the Song and Ming dynasties.

In the light heroes headed by Gan Ling, there is also the idea of "not only the king chooses the minister, but also the minister chooses the king", because Yan Xing's martial courage and courage convinced them, so they are also willing to serve under Yan Xing.

But on the other hand, if Yan Xing indulged in alcohol and pleasure and did not want to make progress, these subordinates with the right to choose to leave him would also choose to leave him after seeing that there was no hope. Therefore, Gan Ling seems to have been bent on the big banquet and small banquet of some generals in the Xuanfeng Army in the past few days, and he has become a little fluttery, and he has the intention to advise, which coincides with the matter of Li Biao and Zhao Hong, so he borrowed their hands to warn Yan Xing.

As for Yan Shun and Yan Xing, it is not surprising that these clansmen who are Yan Xing would agree with Ganling's point of view. A large part of the source of Yan Xing's troops and horses are the children of the Yan family, and they can be said to be closely related to Yan Xing, and they are resolutely standing with Yan Xing when resisting foreign enemies. But they are also loyal to the Yan family rather than Yan Xing alone, so if Yan Xing is personally decadent and incompetent, this army will not continue to support him as always, but will safeguard the interests of the family and each of them through means such as clan discussion and election of a new leader.

Yan Xing, who had figured out this, secretly spurred himself in his heart to take this incident as a lesson, not only for himself, but also for the sake of these straightforward and enthusiastic men around him. He patted Yan Shun's thick shoulder with emotion, he did have a lot to say at this time, but he couldn't just say it to Yan Shun alone.

"Ganling, they should all be outside!"

"Uh-"

In the face of Yan Xing's inquiry, Yan Shun didn't know how to answer, because Yan Xing had indeed guessed it, and Gan Ling and the others were worried that if Yan Xing was really angry, he would implicate Yan Shun, who only agreed to make a decision because he couldn't resist everyone's opinions. Therefore, they are indeed waiting anxiously for the development of things not far from the tent at the moment.

"Let's go, let's go see them!"

After speaking, Yan Xing first lifted the curtain of the tent door and walked out.

Not far from the tent, Ma Lin, Gan Ling and Yan Xing were indeed waiting anxiously at the moment, last night's decision was Gan Ling's first mention, and then persuaded everyone, and Yan Shun, who had always sought stability, could only agree to it. In their opinion, Yan Xing, who has always been ambitious and both civil and military, is their backbone, and when Yan Xing looks like he is carried away by victory and lingers on the banquet, they are the ones who are most anxious.

They all chose to follow Yan Xing with all their hearts because they were impressed by Yan Xing's ability and courage, if Yan Xing really got carried away and stayed away from the soldiers because of this small victory in front of him, then those of them who were most closely related to Yan Xing would be the most disappointed and painful. But if they were to go directly to Yan Xing, even Yan Xing, who was a little anxious, didn't know where to start, and they would agree to Gan Ling's proposal because they were worried about it, even if they would suffer the anger of Yan Xing himself.

Ma Lin was walking anxiously behind a tent at this time, letting the snowflakes fall on him, and he rubbed his hands and said:

"This is really urgent, why did Lao Yan not come out after going in for so long, could it be that Shaojun did it in anger!"

Gan Ling, who crossed his hands and hugged his arms, rolled his eyes, if he did it, he was afraid that he would have already alarmed the guards outside the tent, and there was no movement yet, but he was afraid that according to the gentleman's usual character, he was either asking Yan Shun carefully, or he was thinking about the ins and outs of the whole matter.

However, Ma Lin's nagging posture while walking did make Gan Ling look very annoying, so Gan Ling said:

"Black charcoal, can't you stop moving for a while, I'm annoyed to look at me!"

When Ma Lin heard this, he suddenly stopped, and said with an unhappy face:

"It's you kid who came up with the idea, and it's you who is annoying now, I'm telling you, I'm the most annoying one now!"

"Okay, then you're blaming me, so why didn't you give a good opinion last night?"

"You-"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yan Xing, who had been looking in the direction of the tent door, hurriedly walked back to persuade the two. Just when the three of you were saying a word, an abrupt voice sounded.

"What are you three doing over there?"

The three of them hurriedly looked back, but it was Yan Xing who walked out of the tent with Yan Shun, as if he knew that they were here, and walked straight over.

"Well, we're enjoying the snow!"

Ma Lin's face turned red, and he casually pulled out a perfunctory sentence.

"Snow appreciation? Then tell me how many petals this snowflake is and what shape it is. ”

"Uh-"

The lie was easily dismantled by Yan Xing, Ma Lin and the three of them were immediately speechless, Yan Xing walked to their side at this time, because Mink Qiu gave it to Yan Shun, so not long after he walked out of the camp, the snowflakes sprinkled on his shoulders suddenly made him feel cold, he rubbed his hands, and said seriously:

"I already know the private affairs of the few of you!"

Hearing this, Ma Lin was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he was about to rush to speak up, but Yan Xing took the first step to stop him with a gesture. Yan Xing looked at these men who had come with him all the way east, and continued:

"I don't blame anyone this time, but I won't make an example!"

Hearing that they were not to blame, the three of Gan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard the words behind them, their spirits tightened, and it seemed that Shaojun was still blaming them in his heart. Seeing the change in their faces, Yan Xing smiled, he leaned closer to them and whispered:

"I mean I really didn't do a good job in this matter, ignoring everyone, next time if I still make a mistake, you can tell me directly, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Hearing that Yan Xing had returned to his usual humorous words, everyone immediately burst out laughing. Rushed by the hot breath exhaled by everyone's laughter, Yan Xing felt that his body became a little warmer again, he reached out to hold a snowflake in laughter, looked at the six-petal snowflake, and said thoughtfully:

"The snow is stopping!"
