68, there is a courtesy messenger before the soldiers (3)
When he learned that Han Suijun had an envoy, Yan Xing and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled. Then he sent Zhao Hong to receive him, and he kept Jia Xu, Xun You and others for dinner in the tent, and then continued to discuss measures to "fill enough food" and "strengthening soldiers". →おKanshuge Free Serial Novel Reading Network c. 1a
Half an hour later, Zhao Hong returned to report his life. Yan Xing was also here with him.
The candlelight in the tent swayed a little, and Yan Xing, who was walking in behind, looked light and dark. Yan Xing glanced at Yan Xing's face. After thinking about it, he ordered the guards to put down the curtain at the door of the tent.
After Zhao Hong briefly explained the purpose of Han Sui's envoy, he let go and Yan Xing, who was following behind, stepped forward.
Yan Xing looked at Jia, Xun, Pei and others in the tent, and did not speak immediately.
Yan Xing knew what he meant and told him that there was no need to be a taboo and directly confessed.
Yan Xing had no choice but to stand up and said in a deep voice:
"The messenger who came was Yan Feng's son, Yan Gui."
As soon as he finished speaking, the candlelight in the tent shook for a while, and Yan Xing's face gradually became darker.
Everything is silent.
Yan Xing's feelings towards Yan's father were different from Yan Wan, who was also relatives. When he treated Yan's father, he treated him more as a respected teacher, while when he treated Yan Wan, he mostly acted as a brother.
As for why there is such a special differentiation, after Yan Xing thought about it, he could only attribute it to the difference between acceptance and giving.
To treat Yan’s father as his father, he needs to accept that heavy love, and as Yan Wan’s brother, he only needs to silently give that brother’s love.
Acceptance is sometimes more unbearable than giving.
But even when he treats his teacher, he has a heavy feeling. Although Yan Xing knew that Yan's father's death had a deep relationship with him, at least on the surface of the incident, it was still caused by the struggles among the clan.
This made Yan Xing feel an indescribable hatred in his heart against Yan Li and Yan Feng.
Whether to see Yan Jing or not depends on Yan Xing's heart.
···
After the discussion in the tent, Yan Xing put on his bag again, put his clothes neatly, and took Xun You, Pei Wan and others to patrol the camp in the night.
Pei Wan is the younger brother-in-law who Yan Xing is focusing on cultivating. When dealing with some military and political affairs, Yan Xing often takes him out for training to cultivate his abilities.
Xun You was purely what he wanted. It was originally late at night and frost was heavy. Yan Xing wanted Xun You to return to the tent like Jia Xu to rest, but this time Xun You accidentally wanted to accompany Yan Xing to patrol the camp at night. He still had something to say to Yan Xing.
After inspecting the camp where the Bu Qimen settled, inspecting the garrisons and fortifications at night, and visiting the wounded soldiers in the camp, it took nearly two hours for the group to go through these things.
The hour of Hai is about to end, and the night is already very bright. After patrolling the night guards and fortifications, some officials and soldiers were already trembling in their eyes and yawning. Yan Xing then ordered the officials and soldiers to return to their respective tents, but Xun You did not move and stayed there.
When Yan Xing saw that Xun You had some words, he smiled faintly and invited Xun You to accompany him for another walk.
It was already the end of September, and the frost and cold dew were already falling late at night. Yan Xing's personal guard followed behind, and a layer of white frost had already formed on the iron armor.
The tall Xun You tightened his outer robe before walking forward. His eyes were still flashing with spirit under the light of the fire, and the calm voice also sounded softly.
"General, have you just had an unspeakable secret in the tent?"
Yan Xing looked at Xun You unexpectedly. He thought Xun You wanted to talk about "full food" and "strong army", but he didn't expect that he would talk about this matter, which surprised him a little.
"Yes, Han Sui's envoy was from the Yan family, which just brought back some memories of the struggle among the clan!"
Yan Xing did not hide it, and Xun You nodded.
Unlike the Central Plains clans like the Xun family in Yingchuan, which was full of Confucianism, Yan Xing was born into a powerful Wuzong family. The people in the border areas were fierce and powerful. The Confucian "gentle, kind, respectful, frugal and polite" were mostly abandoned there.
Since Yan Xing started his career as a general of Dongying, he was either a down-and-out child who was born in a vassal or a direct descendant who lost power and lost in the struggle.
Yan Xing's words proved Xun You's guess about the latter.
Xun You thought about it and said again:
"This matter was originally a matter of the general's clan. If it is not the person involved, it should not make any advice. It is just that the general was in charge of the world and suffered unrestrained luck. He had many battles on the battlefield and had difficulty, which made the foundation of Sanhe."
"This time the regaining of the old land of the Sanfu was the beginning of the dragon transformation and the beginning of the gradual growth of the general. During the Qin Dynasty, Li Si once said: Mount Tai does not allow soil, so it can become large; rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so it can reach deep; kings do not abandon the crowd, so they can understand their virtues."
"So you think that the general should keep the rules of the past customs and swallow the boats in order to promote the meaning of raising the flowers; to collect old friends and old friends to become the result of the mountain. If the old people in Jincheng knew about the general's achievements today, I would definitely hope that the general would be kind and comforted him."
After hearing this, Yan Xing was speechless for a long time. It took him a little while to come back to his senses and looked at Xun You and said solemnly:
"The military advisor's words are quite like a king. Han Xin pardoned the insulting people, and An Guo even killed the ashes, so he recorded them."
Xun You smiled, nodded slightly, looked at the vast night and stopped talking.
Yan Xing looked at Xun You and felt his emotions become more restrained, and suddenly asked:
"Since Gu met with the military advisor, he always felt that the military advisor was cautious as the beginning and never said much. I don't know why he stayed tonight and said this to Gu?"
Xun You knew what Yan Xing was talking about, so he smiled indifferently and responded calmly:
"At that time, in Luoyang, and in Mianchi, the general had a military advisor, Zhou Zhengshi. Even if You didn't understand these advice, they would explain to the general again. Tonight, Mr. Jia had already said enough, so this matter could only be spread on You's shoulders and You dared to explain to the general."
When Yan Xing heard this, he smiled and nodded. Looking at Xun You standing in the night, he had a little more clarity about Xun You.
"I am aware of the military advisor!"
···
The next day, Yan Xing personally met Han Gui, who was Han Sui's envoy.
But when he saw Yan Xing arrive in person, Yan Gui was still shocked.
When Yan Xing led his troops away from home, Yan Gui was still a young child who was huddled in the stable to sweep horse manure with his father. Although he could occasionally see Yan Xing, he could only hide in the corner and watch with fear and hatred.
Later, the entire army of the military command recruited by the Han family was wiped out in Chen Cang, and Yan Xing never came back, but Yan Gui's life became better and better.
I moved out of the low and wet stable and moved back into my original house. I even set up a new yard to serve as my family's residence.
Yan Gui knew that these were all obtained by his father's contribution, and as for how they were received, he didn't know, and Yan Feng didn't want him to know.
But finally, the young man Yan Gui left the hard days of the stable and also had his own words - positive. However, as he gradually became adults, he also felt the depression between adults.
The Yan family changed the head of the family, but did not change the family's survival principles. They still "only the strong is the basis". They hugged the Han family's thighs tightly and responded to Han Sui's various recruitment and troops.
However, the Yan family, a powerful man in Wuzong, was inevitably destroyed. Yan Li, who held the clan power, had average ability and could only guard the family business. There were no outstanding talents in the new generation of the Yan family. Under the command of the Han family in Jincheng, the Yan family's status was getting lower and lower, and they could only barely occupy the last seat.
This time, Yan Feng, Yan Gui and others sent troops and guests to the east to follow Han Sui's army.
Originally, Yan Gui thought that no matter how important he was to act as an envoy, it would not be the turn of an unknown man like him.
But unexpectedly, Han Sui called the children of the Yan family to serve as envoys to go to the enemy camp.
When Yan Gui was shocked when he learned from his father that the deeper reasons for the mission were taken.
In fact, he doesn’t need to intervene in the messenger’s affairs. He is the only one who comes with him to complete it. Yan Gui only needs to recognize who Yan Xing is, which is enough!
Therefore, along the way, Yan Gui couldn't help but think randomly and feel uneasy. After arriving at the enemy camp, this anxiety suddenly burst out and he became restless all day long and couldn't sleep.
If Yan Xing is not Yan Xing, he doesn't know how to face it as an envoy. If Yan Xing is Yan Xing, he doesn't know what identity to face it.
But he had a vague premonition in his heart that he would see the Yan Xing of the past again.
Fortunately, after meeting, Yan Gui, who was shocked, quickly settled down again. Yan Xing's face became more mature and had a bit of vicissitudes, but his attitude towards himself was like an ordinary tribe, approachable, and there was no grudge between conversations.
He briefly talked about his ten-year military career, walking in an orderly camp with Yan Gui, watching the soldiers carrying soldiers in armor, the light cavalry driving on horseback, the Ji Zhang Shi who was forced to drink with feathers, as well as the tents, towering corner towers, granaries full of military rations, various types of war defense equipment, military funds...
Yan Gui knew that Yan Xing intended him to see this, but he still couldn't help but feel shocked.
Along the way, they also talked about some things about the Han Sui Army and the Yan family. However, Yan Gui had a low position in the army and did not have enough knowledge. He did not know much about the inside story of the Han Sui Army. Instead, he was concerned about the Yan family and answered several questions about Yan Xing seriously.
When he talked about his father, he also took a special look at Yan Xing's face, but unfortunately nothing appeared. Yan Xing's face was as calm as a lake, as if it had never caused any waves.
So much so, when the head of the family Yan Li talked about the fact that the Tian family gave several manors and Tian family as a thank-you gift, and the Yan family was in decline under Han Sui's command, Yan Gui had the illusion that he was like a nagging old woman, telling an outsider some irrelevant trivial complaints.
These situations are completely incompatible with the father's explanation when he left, so that Yan Gui was at a loss when he was unacceptable and confused.
After a walk and talk, Yan Xing left Yan Gui to have dinner together in his tent. At night, he sent his personal guards to send him back to the tent.
When he was about to leave the bill, Yan Xing suddenly called Yan Gui and gave him a small gift box with a smile.
"In fact, Gu can guess that General Han's intention to send an envoy and the intention of your father sending you here. You are a child of the Yan family, and Gu will not make it difficult for you to do. Gu will also write a book for you to take back. If you are asked when you go back, you can tell them what you see and hear today."
