Hearing Pei Wan's admiration and praise, Yan Xing smiled, disagreed and asked:

"Why do you say that?"

"The general could have escaped the military disaster, but in order to save women and children, he was willing to fight against the soldiers. Even if there were tens of millions of people, I would go. Isn't this the truth of great courage mentioned by Mencius?"

Yan Xing pondered for a moment. The situation was that if no one stayed and everyone rushed to the tunnel. If they didn't resist, they would inevitably be exposed by the enemy, be fumigated to death, and trapped in the tunnel.

On the contrary, if the people who stayed can successfully use the suspicion plan, the chances of everyone escaping will be greatly increased.

It was precisely under this consideration that Yan Xing made the subsequent decision to affect the trajectory of his destiny.

"I can't call myself a brave man, it's just because the situation is forced."

Having said this, Yan Xing suddenly felt a sudden heart and realized Pei Wan's implicit voice. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Wan and said:

"Wen Chong, do you have any words that have not been finished?"

"No, I just think the general is right. There are few brave people in the world who have gone there. The general dare not even boast, let alone others. The rest are just forced by the situation."

Pei Wan's eyes flashed and then said:

"If the general gathers his strength to resist the soldiers at Oxtail, the same is true for his father and Li Jueting, and even more so for Yan Changshi's persistence in Anyi."

Yan Xing was silent, Pei Wan was smart, his words seemed obscure, but once you contact the context, you could figure out what he was talking about.

Yan Su did not stay to resist the troops when the Oxtail gathered, but he struggled to defend against the attack of Guo Si's army when he was in Anyi City. Are they the same person? No, never, but it was just that the situation forced him to defend.

Yan Xing fell in love with the Oxtail because 6 Yue was a woman he met when he was in a slump. Yan Xingxin was entrusted with the important task of staying behind because Yan Shu used his frank advice and insisted on Anyi and other merits to verify Yan Xing's trust.

It is precisely because of this point that Yan Xing regards as the "original intention" that Yan Shu and 6 Yue are to some extent, more important than Pei's father and son, and Pei Shu occupies a more important position in Yan Xing's mind.

But this is the same, which made Pei Wan, who was precocious, noticed it, feel like a thorn in his throat. For this reason, he risked angering Yan Xing and said these words that penetrated his "original intention" in a roundabout way.

Yan Xing looked at the smart and meticulous wife brother-in-law in front of him, and his face became more serious.

After Pei Wan said it, he regretted it for a while, but he could not save it. Moreover, in his heart, he also wanted to know if this was an invisible scale on his brother-in-law.

"Ahem, I don't agree with Pei Shuzuo's opinion!"

At this moment, the atmosphere between Yan Xing and Pei Wan was very subtle. Yan Xing, who was both a master and brother, did not speak, but perhaps he would be angry in the next moment and would touch his backward scales and provoke the dispute for no reason.

But unexpectedly, Su Ze spoke out in advance.

Yan Xing and Pei Wan's eyes were cast towards Su Ze, and Su Ze said righteously:

"Shu Zuo thought that there were few brave people in the world, but they were forced by the situation, so he did not agree. In the past, Zengzi lived in Wucheng, and the Yue army came to invade, so Zengzi fled. He did not return until the Yue army retreated. Zisi lived in Weiguo, and the Qi army came to invade. Others advised him to leave, and he said, "If I leave too, who will the monarch guard the city?", and he firmly wanted to leave the army that resisted Qi."

"But Mencius said that Zengzi, Zengzi and Zisi followed the same principles, and were both brave people. Because Zengzi was a gentleman and an elder, he left, so that none of the seventy disciples he followed had any trouble. Because Zisi was a minister, he stayed to fight the enemy with the king. If Zengzi and Zisi exchanged positions, they would do this."

Pei Wan didn't expect that Su Ze from Fufeng would dare to get involved at this time. His face turned cold and he wanted to refute, but before he could speak, Yan Xing, who was already angry, drank back in one sip.

"Enough, Wen Chong, you step down!"

After hearing Yan Xing's order, Pei Wan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, turned around and retreated angrily.

With such a small episode, the people who were traveling with him were more cautious in their words and actions, and Yan Xing was also out of interest and had already developed a desire to leave.

Yan Shu, who was sour, seemed not to notice this matter. He found the peach blossoms he planted by himself in the gathering. Now it has become a crooked dead tree. He stretched out his hand to rub the dead tree that had lost all his vitality. Yan Shu's eyes were full of sadness.

"Where is this wood, how can a person bear it!"

···

After leaving the Oxtail Gathering, everyone left along the mountain road, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, and rushed back to Chen Cang.

It happened to rain unexpectedly on the way. Yan Xing, who was upset, accidentally got rained. As a result, he, who was always healthy, became burned and sick as soon as he returned to Chencang City.

This scared everyone who was walking with him. Yan Su personally took Yan Xing's pulse and hurriedly summoned medical officers to diagnose and use medicine. He confirmed from many medical officers that Yan Xing was just a symptom of warm disease. After taking the decoction and resting for a night, the warmth was gone, and everyone slowly felt relieved and returned to their temporary residence in the post office one after another.

In the middle of the night, Dong Dai, who was in military uniform, suddenly rushed over as a school clerk.

When he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Dong Dai was stopped by the guards who were watching the night.

"Stop!"

Dong Dai stopped in front of the guards who were armed with soldiers. She showed her waist card and said:

"Report to the general if there is something important to the school affairs!"

After seeing the school clerk's waist card, the guard looked at each other and turned to report to Su Ze, who was guarding another dormitory.

As the official of the General's Mansion, Su Ze guarded the General of the Cavalry who was ill in bed tonight. Although he could sleep in the wing room on the other side, he knew that he had a great responsibility and did not dare to sleep well. He just lay on the couch with his clothes and slept lightly. At this time, when he heard a school affairs coming to report an emergency report, he frowned, got up immediately, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the door.

"The general is resting in bed, and I'm afraid it's not convenient to meet him at this time. The school affairs should wait until the general wakes up before reporting. If there is an urgent task, you might as well report to Yan Changshi."

Before Su Ze was arrested in the General's Mansion, he also heard that there was a school in the General's Mansion, who acted secretly but had great power, and was somewhat similar to the embroidered clothes of the former Han Dynasty.

Although he did not know Dong Dai, since the general was ill and fell asleep, Su Ze did not want to disturb Yan Xing for the sake of school affairs, so he immediately responded to Dong Dai and said.

Dong Dai didn't move a step, she said directly:

"You are a newly-opened official history and may not know anything. You can always report to the general himself in the school affairs, and the other Caos in the mansion have no right to interfere."

When Su Ze frowned when he heard the words of Dong Daimian hidden in his head, he thought that these school affairs were indeed domineering. The general ruled the world and made a long-term plan, but he was afraid that he had used the wrong thing in this matter.

Su Ze originally wanted to stop him, but at this time the medical officer who was guarding and serving Yan Xing's dormitory gently opened the door and walked out. He walked to Su Ze and said in a low voice:

"Su Jun, the general has just woken up. After hearing the noise outside, he knew that Su Jun Zhongzhi and specially asked the villain to take a message. If there is an urgent matter, don't stop him."

When Su Ze heard that it was Yan Xing's words, he could only nod and waved his hand to let the school guard Dong Dai enter. He thought about it and asked the medical officer to take him and walked into the dormitory himself.

Everyone walked into the dormitory one after another. When they saw Yan Xing on the couch, his face was still weak, but his eyes had regained a little. After seeing Dong Dai, he asked:

"What are the important things for school affairs?"

Seeing this, Dong Dai turned his head slightly. Yan Xing understood what she meant and signaled that Su Ze, who was still following behind, and the two medical officers who were serving, both left the outdoors first.

"General, Yecheng school affairs were urgently reported, and Hebei sent more troops to Gongxian, Jixian and other places, and Hebei soldiers in Hejian also had orders to mobilize military forces."

"oh."

Yan Xing nodded weakly. The military service emphasized "knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, and never winning a hundred battles." In Guandong, Hedong and Henei counties and Yuan Shao, Hebei, intertwined the territory of Yuan Shao, and Yan Xing went west to use troops. Although Yuan Shao had to write a letter to himself because of the previous imperial court's reprimand, he was able to settle the matter of reprimanding him and settled his mind to the outside world.

But Yan Xing, the overlord of Hebei, had to be careful after all, so he needed to quickly learn about the dispatch direction of Hebei's troops through some special channels.

Now that Yuan Shao has added troops to Jixian County, Gongxian County and other places, in addition to the possibility of resuming the Sanhe River, it is also possible that he is pretending to be suspicious of the army, so as to free up his hands to deal with Gongsun Zan who is nailed to Ji and You like a nail.

"Do you find out the real direction of military use in Hebei?"

"It has not been clarified yet, but it is only a preliminary investigation that the Hebei generals such as Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou led their troops to Hejianguo, Jiang Qi, Han Meng, Zhao Rui and other Hebei generals increased their troops to Jixian County, Gongxian County and other places."

"Take careful and find out the enemy's virtuality as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

After Dong Dai agreed to the promise softly, he did not speak anymore. Yan Xing waited for a while before asking slowly:

"There's something else?"

"No. It's just that the school manager is the general, taking into account both the inside and the outside. Now that the general is ill in bed, should he be transferred to the school manager to protect the general's safety?"

"No need. I am alone in the dormitory, and there are personal guards ten feet away. Where is there any danger?"

"But the general always needs someone to take care of himself. These medical officials have some medical skills, but they are afraid of the general as a tiger. They do not seek merit, but seek no mistakes. How can they understand the general's intentions and truly take good care of the general."

As he was talking, Dong Dai had approached, gently picked up the cool towel on Yan Xing's forehead, took it back to the basin next to him to scrub, wrung it out, then carefully folded it, and placed it on Yan Xing's forehead to cool down.

Yan Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked lightly:

"You said that the medical officer is afraid of loneliness as if he were tigers. Are you not afraid of loneliness?"

"I'm afraid, if you get closer, your chest will pound."

Speaking of this, Dong Dai herself burst into laughter and giggled. When she leaned over and put a cool towel on Yan Xing, her chest was just lowered, and at this moment it was even more jumping up and down with the gentle laughter.

Yan Xing only took a look and then closed his eyes again, as if he was about to fall asleep.

But Dong Dai's gentle voice slowly rang out, and she exhaled like orchids, and the cool breeze blew between Yan Xing's neck.

"Is the general trapped? Or is there something wrong with you?"

Feeling the cool breath between the neck, Yan Xing, who was sleeping, couldn't help but move his neck and speak again.

"Yeah, I miss home!"

"Home."

Dong Dai stopped laughing, murmured and repeated, then stood up straight again.

She quietly looked at the man full of secrets on her body, and after a while, she said softly:
Chapter completed!
