Yan Anxin was remorseful, but Qin Ge was still unsatisfied. He knew why Liang Xiao wanted Yan An to participate in the exercise, and he didn't let Yan An know how ridiculous it was to send troops in midsummer, how could he dispel his mind and change his course.

"Doctor Yan, how are you resting?" Qin Ge raised the sword in his hand and pointed at another mountain range a few miles away. "The finish line is there, and we're going to hurry up. After dark, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the woods, which can cause malaria. Oh, commonly known as playing pendulums, but it's troublesome. ”

"Still leaving?" Yan An suddenly felt a little cold in his back spine, and the sweat on his body also became a cold sweat.

"How far has this gone?" Qin Ge smiled, showing a little disapproval. Ten days ago, when they first started training, they were also afraid. Now, though, they're used to the distance. In fact, a few miles of land is really nothing for a conquest. If you can't even overcome this, what kind of war is there to talk about.

Qin Ge urged: "Let's go, otherwise it will be too late." Then without waiting for Yan An to agree, he motioned to the two Lang officials to pick up Yan An and run.

Yan An couldn't say how hard he was, so he had to drag his two heavy legs and run with Qin Ge and the others.

Seeing this, the Lang officials who came to protect Yan'an also had to get up and follow behind.

As the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, Qin Ge pointed lightly, the straight-line distance was only a few miles, Yan An was so hot that he was dizzy, and he didn't realize the problem. When he entered the mountains and forests, bent and winding, tired and out of breath, and the sky was spinning in front of him, but the mountain collar was still in the distance, he became anxious.

"How far is it?"

"It's coming, it's coming." Qin Ge responded, panting like a cow. Even though they had been training for more than ten days and were dressed very coolly, they still felt very difficult. Whenever this happens. He admired Liang Xiao. It's the first time to come to South Vietnam, why can Liang Xiao think of this, but they just can't think of it? What's even more infuriating is that Yan An is not the first time to come, not long ago, he has already come to South Vietnam. Why do you have such a bad idea?

Of course, he couldn't imagine that the reason why Yan An had no concept was because he walked on a relatively flat avenue and had never drilled into the mountains and forests; Second, it was winter, and the temperature was not very high. Of course, the more fundamental reason is that Yan An is a strategist, he is used to making plans, and he moves his mouth instead of his legs. If it weren't for the momentary confusion, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and was deceived by Liang Xiao. He would never have had the opportunity to experience such a life in his life.

Now he regrets it.

In fact, Yan An couldn't hold out to the end, and when he just walked to the bottom of that ridge, Yan An fainted from heat stroke.

Qin Ge didn't dare to slack off, immediately canceled the exercise, without saying a word, stripped Yan An to only a pair of shorts, and then sent Yan An back to the boat. Call in a healer for treatment. He personally rushed to report to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao leaned against the window and looked at the scenery. After listening to the report, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although he was mentally prepared, Yan An fainted from heat stroke, which was still beyond his expectations. It seems that Yan An's body is much weaker than he estimated.

"Is it in the way?"

"The doctor said it, it's not in the way." Qin Ge smiled, a little proud of the success of the prank. To a strategist like Yan An. He had an instinctive rejection. Yan An also wanted to make meritorious contributions, which made him even more disgusted. Even your physique also wants to make military achievements? "However, a few days will not slow down, there will always be."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Do you know what to do?"

Qin Ge laughed. "Boming, don't worry. I'll make him regret it for himself. ”

"Well, go ahead." Liang Xiao waved his hand and sighed. "Actually, I hope he can hold on, after all, he is also a knowledgeable person, not exactly a scholar. If you can unite knowledge and action, you will be able to achieve something in the future. ”

Qin Ge blinked, stopped talking, and turned to leave.

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

Wei Qing turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly walked into the Chinese army camp with Wei Tao. In front of the Chinese army's big tent of the imperial historian Han Anguo, he stopped, stood upright, and reported loudly. "Wei Qing, the general of the cavalry, was ordered to come and pay a visit."

After a while, Han Anguo pushed the account out, took Wei Qing's hand, and led him into the account. "Zhongqing, you're so fast."

Wei Qing smiled innocently. "As soon as I received Han Gong's order, I immediately rushed here. Han Gong, what's so urgent? ”

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

Seeing that Han Anguo was so cautious, Wei Qing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly unfolded the edict. After reading half of it, Wei Qing's face changed.

This was the edict from the Son of Heaven asking them to march into South Vietnam, not the edict of retreat as they had hoped.

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

"Yes, attack South Vietnam." Han Anguo smiled bitterly: "When I first received the edict, I reacted the same as you. I originally thought that the Yellow River would break, and the Son of Heaven would cancel this war and focus on disaster relief, 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 then asked, "Does Dou Qufei know?" ”

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

"Why didn't Wei Qihou stop Your Majesty?" Wei Qing was a little anxious. "Jiangdong is flooded, the army is unstable, how can we march. It's hot in the south of the Yangtze River, and in such weather, let alone fighting, even if it's a normal march, there will be many soldiers who can't bear it. Moreover, the mountains are humid and full of mosquitoes, which can easily cause epidemics, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Zhong Qing is well-thought-out, and he is really different."

Wei Qing was a little embarrassed. "Actually, it's nothing, I've been here once before, my wife is from Minyue, and her father is still a general of Minyue, so he is very familiar with the climate here. I've heard them talk about it a lot, so naturally I know a little bit more. ”

Han Anguo's eyes rolled. "Then you say, will Dou Qufei know?"

Wei Qing thought for a moment. "Should know. He has been in Huiji for many years, and even if he doesn't have a unified army, 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 herald left, Dou Qufei broke in. He walked in a hurry, his round face covered with sweat. As soon as I entered the account, I saw Wei Qing. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "General Wei, are you there too?"

Wei Qing nodded and did not speak. Han Anguo took over the conversation. "Dou Fujun, you are in such a hurry, what happened?"

"Alas-" Dou Qufei sighed: "Han Gong, have you received the edict?" ”

Han Anguo nodded. looked at Dou Qufei quietly. Dou Qufei didn't notice Han Anguo's strangeness, and asked, "Han Gong, what are you going to do?" Do you really want to continue marching? ”

"I was about to ask you to come and discuss. Dou Fujun, how many years have you been doing Taishou in Huiji? ”

"More than seven years, almost eight years."

"Seven or eight years, you should have passed two performance appraisals, right? The result? ”

Dou Qufei was embarrassed and spread his hands. "It's really shameless, and the two performance appraisals are not satisfactory, so I have not been able to transfer out of the auditorium. Han Gong. Let's get down to business, are you going to get in? ”

"Fujun has been in Huiji for seven or eight years, and he is more familiar with this place, do you think he can enter the army?"

"Of course not." The sinus went to the non-blurted out. "What season is this? Sitting still is sweating, let alone marching and fighting. It's better to be close to the water, but if you go into the mountains, it's called a hot death. Han Gong, you don't know......"

Dou Qufei seemed to have been wronged a lot. I complained for a long time in one breath until my mouth was dry. Smoke came out of his throat, and then he stopped talking. When Han Anguo saw it, he put down a big stone in his heart. Although he is a royal historian and has a high position, none of the two lieutenants assigned to him by the Son of Heaven can be ignored. Wei Qing is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and Dou Qufei is Dou Ying's nephew. He can't afford to offend any of them.

Fortunately, they agreed on this matter, and he was spared a lot of words.

However, Han Anguo has been an official for many years and also has a certain understanding of the Son of Heaven. Knowing that this edict from the Son of Heaven is definitely not a whim. In order for the Son of Heaven to dispel this thought, he cannot simply refuse, but must take care of the face of the Son of Heaven.

Han Anguo discussed with Wei Qing and Dou Qufei, and finally made a decision. The army marched according to the edict, but the purpose was not South Vietnam, but Minyue. The army entered Minyue, first relieved the siege of Nanyue, and then forced Minyue to be subordinate. When this matter is over, and the summer is almost over, whether to continue to attack South Vietnam or accept it when it is good depends on the mood of the Son of Heaven.

To force the subordinates of Minyue and Vietnam, it is inevitable to deter by force, but from the actual dispatch of troops, Han Anguo decided to let Wei Qing go to Dongou again, and get in touch with his wife and father Zhengwu. Zhengwu was ostracized in Minyue, and he was most likely to become the internal response of the Han army. If Zhengwu can appear and say that the Minyue king's subordinates are moved, then this battle can be avoided. In case of unavoidable conquest, it must be conquered by force, and then conquest can also play a big role.

Taking Minyue can at least give the Son of Heaven a step to make concessions.

Wei Qing agreed, and then took a boat and crossed the sea to see Zhengwu.

Han Anguo immediately wrote to the imperial court, reported his plan, and at the same time asked Dou Qufei to write a letter to Dou Ying, telling Dou Ying about the dangers of entering the army in summer, and asking Dou Ying to explain more in front of the Son of Heaven. Dou Qufei also agreed, and immediately wrote a letter to his family, asking the envoy to take it to Chang'an together.

――

For several days in a row, Yan An felt weak and couldn't keep his spirits up. Not to mention participating in the drill, I felt my legs flutter even when I got up and walked two steps.

Yan An fell, and the Lang official beside him had not yet fallen. In order to give them a personal experience, Liang Xiao arranged for them to take shifts, and when they were not on duty, they practiced with Qin Ge and the others. The physique of the Lang officials is much stronger than Yan An, and they don't have much choice except for their meritorious service in the army, so although they are bitter, they still barely support it.

Of course, it is inevitable to scold Yan An behind his back. If it weren't for Yan An's blood, why would they suffer such a crime?

Liang Xiao didn't show up for a few days, until Yan An was so stuffy that he took Xia and Shi Shiran to Yan An's cockpit.

"Yan Jun, are you better?"

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

Liang Xiao smiled. "What are you talking about, blaming me for not coming to see you?" He was not polite, and stretched out his hand to set up Yan An. "Go, go out to breathe, stuffy in the cabin every day, good people are bored."

Yan An was very weak and could only be taken out of the cabin by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao asked people to use cloth to prop up a shed on the deck, and two vouchers and a wooden table were placed under the shed. A few plates of fruit were placed on the wooden table. South Vietnam has a hot climate, and there is no shortage of fruits. The two sat under the shed, blowing the wind, looking at the green mountains and green waters, and enjoying themselves. Yan An also felt that his heart was wide-minded, and he was inexplicably much more relaxed, and he couldn't help but regret that he didn't come out earlier to breathe, and only knew that he was bored in the cabin and meditated.

"There are two days left in Panyu, can Yan Jun have a plan?" Liang Xiao picked up a lychee, peeled the shell, and handed it to Yan An. "Taste, this is what Sima Xiangru said in the Fuzhong, you, a Linzi person, may not have tasted it."

Yan An took the lychee and said lightly: "Last time I was an envoy, I tasted it in Panyu. ”

"Really?" Liang Xiao touched a soft nail, but he didn't think so. "Then do you know that you can't eat too much of this thing, and it's easy to get angry if you eat too much?"

Yan An was stunned, silently eating lychees, and did not speak. He knew lychees, but he didn't know that eating too many lychees was easy to catch fire. When Liang Xiao said this, he naturally did not care about his body and remind him to eat less, but implied that he knew one thing but did not know the other, and dared to suggest that the Son of Heaven launch a war against South Vietnam if he knew a little about South Vietnam.

These days when he was in bed, Yan An was actually not idle. He's also thinking about how to end it. He has experienced it himself, and the Lang officials around him are full of complaints, and the mistakes of the 500,000 Qin army are in front of him, and if he still insists on sending troops to conquer South Vietnam in the summer, it is simply a way to kill himself. Once the army is frustrated, Qin Ge and the others will pass on what happened here back to the ears of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will inevitably hold him accountable.

However, how can the Son of Heaven take back his fate?

Yan An chewed the sweet lychee, but he couldn't taste the slightest taste. He felt that he had dug a pit for himself, and now he couldn't climb out, and Liang Xiao stood on the edge of the pit, watching him cry out for help in despair.

He couldn't understand why he had come to this point. After studying for many years, he was full of wealth and resourcefulness, but in the end he was laughed at by a martial artist.

Liang Xiao ate the lychee slowly and methodically, and did not urge Yan An. He knew what Yan An was probably thinking, a scholar, thin-skinned, it was not easy for him to take the initiative to admit defeat. However, now, if Yan An is still stubborn and has to encourage the Son of Heaven to send troops to conquer South Vietnam, he doesn't want to play with them, you can toss as much as you like.

Yan An was silent for a long time, until he chewed up the lychee cores, and then he sighed: "Liang Junhou, in your opinion, this mission ...... How? ”

Liang Xiao thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Is it your mission, or my mission?" ”

Yan An's mouth was bitter. "Is it possible for my mission to be accomplished?"

"Why can't it be?" Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "It was only a matter of time before the imperial court conquered South Vietnam, and the difference was only when. You can't be mistaken in your plans. If I have to say that there is something wrong, it is just too much of a hurry. If you take a long-term view, there is nothing impossible. ”――
