When Yan Li left the lobby, Yan Shun looked around everyone, finally turned his eyes to Yan Xing, signaling him to sit at the lower position before speaking again.

"A few days ago, I got the news from the city that Fang Bo led the troops of six counties to station Didao. The army suddenly roared at night, and both Fang Bo and Zhizhong were martyred. His troops were led by the Kingdom of the Neijia and the Army Sima Ma Teng, and now they have joined forces with the Han family in Jincheng. This news was confirmed early this morning."

As soon as Yan Shun finished speaking, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a pan, and the hall suddenly became noisy. Although many rumors have been heard these days, saying that officers and soldiers were defeated, Fang Bo was killed, and Didao mutiny, when he heard the exact news, the officials were still shocked.

Although the Jincheng families are only strong and rely on the Jincheng Han family, the largest separatist force in Liangzhou, the Han family, but the Han family has declined and the destiny has not changed. Most people are still at both ends of rats and privately maintain contact with the forces of the court. Now that they hear that the officers and soldiers are defeated, even the governor of a state and the governor of the Central Government have lost their lives. Think about the days ago that the Han family in Jincheng recruited many Qiang tribes, including Qingyi, Ganlang, and Baima, and discussed the changes in the subsequent offensive and defensive situation of the two sides.

"Even Ma Teng has joined the rebels!" After hearing Ma Teng's name, Yan Xing instantly restrained his spirits. The heroes he heard the most in Liangzhou in recent years were Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others. He was surprised that people like Ma Teng and Ma Chao who were going to dominate Liangzhou in the near future had no sound yet. Unexpectedly, they finally heard their names in this way. However, although the news of Didao's mutiny, Geng Bi, and Cheng Qiu's death was shocking enough, it was still a little turmoil for people like Yan Xing who had prophets. After all, the Han Dynasty gradually collapsed in the next thirty or forty years, and finally Cao Wei completed the story of replacing Han Han. Yan Xing knew it.

Yan Shun, who was kneeling in the main seat, saw everyone in the midst of the crowd. Seeing Yan Xing thinking, he asked.

"Yanming, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, his father called him the first one. Yan Xing was a little surprised, but when he saw everyone start to turn his eyes to him, he quickly calmed down his emotions and replied humbly.

"You are shallow in your knowledge. When you hear this news, you are anxious and afraid that the words will not be expressed. I would like to listen to your great views!"

"It's okay, you have always had many insights into the situation in the past, and you are about to listen to your opinions today!" Unexpectedly, Yan's father insisted on letting Yan Xing speak as initially.

Seeing that his father was so persistent, Yan Xing had no time to think about the profound meaning, and he thought for a moment and spoke after speaking.

"Your boy heard that 'The defeated army and killed the generals will be in danger, and will be killed in death, and will be captured in life. Anger can be insulted, honest can be insulted, and love the people can be annoyed. Fang Bo underestimated the enemy and did not care about the soldiers, causing great disasters. Now the generals and generals were killed outside, and the soldiers and horses were rebelling inside. The counties in the state were shocked three times a day, and the Guizhou people were in danger. If Han, the king and others brought troops eastward, Hanyang would be in danger!"

"Oh, do you think Han, Wang and others will raise their troops to the east, and Hanyang cannot defend it?"

"That is, the so-called 'If the heaven does not take it, it will be blamed. If the time comes, it will be affected by the disaster'. Han and Wang carried the power of great victory, and the army was in full swing. It was easy to take Hanyang. How could there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest? The power of a county in Hanyang is hard to support. At least ten days or half a month, Jicheng will be trapped!"

Although Yan Xing could not understand his father's deep meaning for a while, seeing that his father was instructing and deliberately wanted to show himself in front of all the leaders of the clan, he followed the flow and vowed to combine his views on the present and his understanding of the Han Sui and Ma Teng forces in the future to make bold predictions.

"Hiss!" Several officials present took a breath of air. The situation was already chaotic enough, but according to the younger generation, would Liangzhou fall again like the first year of Zhongping, and would wars rise among the counties?

Seeing that the foreplay was almost ready, Yan's father smiled slightly on his face and finally threw out the second news.

"The Han family also sent people to come last night to invite the Jincheng family to gather troops and hunt Jicheng!"

This news is even more shocking. In the past, the Han family in Jincheng often used to win over other powerful families, and they were most likely to benefit from the mountains, rivers, salt and iron, in exchange for support from other families and paying money and grain on time to supply military supplies. However, this time the Han family clearly meant to gather troops from each family and integrate their own forces. Could it be that the military front had reached the point of sweeping Liangzhou, and they were no longer afraid of being rebounded by other families.

Seeing that the head of the hall was in a boiling trend, Yan's father added just right:

"And the Song, Qu, Tian, ​​Zhao and other families have agreed and sent people to meet with the Yan family to send troops together to Jicheng. On the Qiang people, the major tribes of Shaodang, Dangjian, and Shao also have troops accompanying them."

Hearing such a large formation of troops, everyone present was secretly amazed. There were several leaders who wanted to dissuade the clan leader from sending troops and shut up. Even Song, Tuo families and Qiang tribes sent troops. It is now the general trend to send troops. It is not something they and even the entire Yan family can argue about.

"So today we are summoning everyone to discuss the candidates and number of troops." Yan's father looked at Yan Xing and continued.

Yan Xing saw his father's gaze and thought of his father's intentional or unintentional inquiry just now. He thought, "I want me to take this opportunity to control the troops in the clan and go to war with the army?"

Yan Xing was speculating on his father's plan, while others discussed the matter of the number of people. According to convention, the major events of going to the army generally required the children of each house in the clan and the fostered troops, guests, and the recruited Yi Cong, and the young and strong selected from the slaves, and the teams and horses were organized into a group of people and the chief officers of the clan who were in charge of the clan and the soldiers led them personally.

However, the atmosphere of the clan meeting today was quite strange. The number of people was quickly determined to be 300, and it was composed into three towns on the left, center and right to form a small song. However, the candidates for the leadership were not determined for a long time. The heads elected several candidates, but they were rejected by Yan's father for various reasons.

Soon, the head of the clan leader realized that his eldest son wanted to lead the army. After tentatively electing Yan Xing, Yan's father did not immediately object, but asked everyone to discuss and decide again.

Now the patriarch's meaning was already very clear, so the heads of Yan Xing's first-party front came out one after another to recommend Yan Xing to command the soldiers and command the soldiers and horses of the tribes who went to the expedition. The opposing side lacked Yan Li as the backbone. In addition, Yan Xing himself was indeed the leader of the new generation of the Yan family. He was both civil and military, and had extraordinary strength. All he lacked was the identity of a chief. In the end, Yan Xing was successfully appointed as the heads of the expedition with an overwhelming advantage. Five days later, he led his troops to Yunwu City to meet with other families, obeyed orders under the Han family and followed the army to the east to fight.

After finalizing the candidates and numbers, the leaders discussed the materials and supplies that needed to be prepared. It was not until noon that the meeting of the tribe's chief meeting ended. The leaders said goodbye one after another and left, and went back to prepare the corresponding matters.

Yan Xing had been running around the road for several days and felt a little tired. He wanted to leave with the heads, but his father kept him in advance.

He had a premonition that his father might have something to discuss with him, so Yan Xing sat down again and kept paying attention. As expected, Yan's father told Yan Xing to take the opportunity to make friends with other young leaders from various families in Jincheng, re-evaluate the general trend of the world, and hone his own character, and other things. The highlight finally came.

Yan Shun paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly. He looked at Yan Xing and continued:

"There is a prophecy that 'the one who replaces the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao'. The head of the Han family in Jincheng is Sui. Sui is the way of the way, and this prophecy is exactly what we say. Now there are riots in all directions and wars are endless. Can we follow our family?"

This is a major event that concerns the rise and fall of the family. Looking at his father's eager eyes, Yan Xing's heart trembled, but he didn't expect that such a thing would be.

In the late Xinmang year, prophecies were prevalent. The Li Tong, Li Zhi and Li Song family in Wancheng followed the Liu family because of the prophecy of "Liu's revival, Li's family was supplemented by the prophecy". In this dynasty, the study of prophecies and divination was promoted and praised by emperors of all generations. In addition, the conscience and integration of Confucianism were popular and became an official ruling idea. Not only was the popular witch and pursuing, but the Liangzhou area, which was divined, believed in this way. Even many scholars and officials in the Central Plains region believed in this. For example, in history, in this year, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, planned to incite the prophecy made by Xiang Kai, a priest in Pingyuan based on "the eunuchs who were not good for astronomy, the Huangmen, and the regular servants were destroyed." As a result, the news leaked and he was forced to commit suicide.

Now it is obvious that the Han family in Jincheng was in the limelight, which made the Jincheng family, which was originally at the end of the rat, have the idea of ​​climbing the dragon and attaching to the phoenix. Even their father began to think of relying on the "true dragon emperor". However, Yan Xing, who had the prophet, knew that although Han Sui could dominate Xiliang for a while, at most, he was a figure like Wei Xiang and Dou Rong, and he was definitely not a true emperor. If the Yan family was following the family, it would not be a wise choice in the long run. So Yan Xing pondered for a while before saying slowly.

"The child thought this was inappropriate. There was a prophecy in the former Han Dynasty that 'Liu Xiu should be the emperor'. Although the national teacher Liu Xin changed his name to Liu Xiu, he did not respond to the prophecy. Now the head of the Han family was originally named as an agreement. He was afraid that it would not be a person who responded to the prophecy. The matter of following the family was related to the rise and fall of the family. It is appropriate to temporarily postpone the plan."

Yan Xing could not directly say that Han Sui was just separating the country and was not the true dragon emperor, so he could only quote the prophecy of the former Han Dynasty, "Liu Xiu should be the emperor" to dissuade Yan's father. During the Xinmang period, there was a prophecy of "Liu Xiu should be the emperor". At that time, the national teacher Liu Xin changed his name to Liu Xiu. Many people thought that he was of high status and power, so he decided to take Wang Mang and replaced him. As a result, Liu Xin aroused Wang Mang's fear, and was killed by Wang Mang, which implicated a large number of people who wanted to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix.

Sure enough, after hearing Yan Xing's words, Yan's father's face changed and he fell into deep thought, and the lobby suddenly became extremely quiet.

Yan Xing thought that he would still let his father think alone for a while, so he sued him and stood up to leave.

"Okay!"

Just as Yan Xing turned around, Yan's calm voice sounded again behind him. Yan Xing was shocked and hurriedly turned to face Yan's father.

"I know you have extraordinary ambitions, but there are things in the world that can do and cannot do. If you do not fight in the enemy's situation, it will make you weaker. This time you follow the army to the east, guard the whole world is the best, remember it!"

Yan's father had a bright look and said this with a serious expression. Yan Xing's eyes became hot. Looking at his father, although he sat upright, he could not help but show his old look, his temples were gray and there were a few wrinkles that could not be erased between his eyebrows.

"Kids remember!"

Finally, Yan Xing held back his tears and turned around and walked out. Yan's father watched Yan Xing's burly figure gradually fade away, and finally disappeared at the bend outside the hall. He reached out and rubbed his already numb legs, looked up at the wide house, his lips moved slightly, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking questions.
Chapter completed!
