Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 508 Training
Liang Xiao interrupted Zhao Guang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "When will there be another match, let me win the money back?"

Zhao Guang looked at Liang Xiao and became more suspicious, but he didn't want to ask more questions.He looked at Lang Guan who was training in full swing in the distance, hesitating.Liang Xiao laughed out loud. "Scared?"

"Afraid?" Zhao Guang was enraged by Liang Xiao.He dismissed it and curled his lips. "That's right, your progress is indeed very fast, but you still have a long way to go if you want to win. Since you are not afraid of losing, let's compete again."

"Okay, you arrange a time." Liang Xiao rubbed his hands, looking a little excited. "General Zhao, I feel a little itchy to see them playing so lively. How about we end up competing?"

"Us? Ha!" Zhao Guang cried out in surprise, shaking his head again and again. "This can't be allowed. I have taken a risk by letting my son Lang compete with you. If I hurt you again, it will be terrible. No, no."

"Hurt me?" Liang Xiao laughed loudly. "General Zhao, your intelligence collection work is not in place. How did I earn my title as a champion? Do you really know?"

Zhao Guang crooked his mouth and smiled disapprovingly. "We don't have much information to collect, but the champion Hou is famous all over the world, and we still know something. You have made great achievements in the Western Regions and crusade against the Xiongnu. However, this is South Vietnam, which is different from the grassland. I can’t come out. Besides, the mountains are high and the water is deep here, if you fall off the mountain or fall into the river, I can’t afford it.”

Seeing that Zhao Guang insisted on refusing, Liang Xiao did not force it.He wanted to compete with Zhao Guang himself, but he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. He had plenty of time, so there was no need to be in a hurry.He chatted with Zhao Guang, arranged a time for the Lang officials to compete again, and went down the mountain with Zhao Guang to meet Yan An.

"Is there a big difference between civil and military affairs in the Han Dynasty?" Zhao Guang asked seemingly casually.

Liang Xiao turned to look at him and shook his head. "It's okay. There will be some conflicts between people. After all, it's limited to hit it off like you and me. Although civil servants and generals have disagreements with each other, it's not that serious. I have both civil and military skills in the Han Dynasty. There are too many people. Today, today is the most outstanding model. He is not only good at riding and shooting, but also capable of poetry and poetry, and has a literary talent. He is a model. In terms of knowledge, it is even rarer in the world."

"really?"

"What's the point of me lying to you?" Liang Xiao laughed out loud. "If you don't believe me, ask Yan An."

Zhao Guang didn't speak.Liang Xiao knew that he would definitely ask others to ask Yan An around the corner to verify his judgment.In the contest between the two countries, the ability of the monarch is a factor that must be considered.Although Zhao Guang is a warrior, he is always spying on the situation of the Han Dynasty. He revealed such important information, it is impossible for Zhao Guang not to check it.

And that's exactly what he was aiming for.

The two went down the ridge and came to the boat. Liang Xiao saw Yan An.

Yan An was dark and thin, but very energetic, with a bit of indescribable excitement hidden in his eyes.When seeing Liang Xiao, Yan An squeezed out a smile, stepped forward to salute, respectful yet affectionate. "Junhou, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Liang Xiao bowed his hand to return the salute, and there was something in his words. "Yeah, I didn't expect that either." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal, and invited Yan An to his cabin.Yan An followed in.Liang Xiao sat down on the chairman seat on his own, picked up the kettle on the table with one hand, poured himself a glass of water, and pointed to the opposite seat with the other hand. "You're welcome, sit down."

After Yan An took his seat, he tidied up his clothes slowly, until Liang Xiao finished drinking the water, and his eyes fell on him again.

Liang Xiao's face was calm, neither excited nor surprised, he just looked at Yan An quietly.Yan An was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, and wanted to smile a few times to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't.He was surprised.He has had several contacts with Liang Xiao. The last time he was in Yuzhang, Liang Xiao was very warm to him, and he didn't feel any pressure.But today, he felt it, like sitting on pins and needles.

Liang Xiao withdrew his eyes and asked lightly, "What's your majesty's plan? Shall I go to Panyu with you, or return to Yuzhang?"

"Uh..." Yan An felt relieved, and quickly said: "If the prince is willing to give in, of course I will go to Panyu. For the matter of Yuzhang, it is enough for Wang Hui to preside over it."

"Your Majesty arranged for you to come, presumably because he rejected the suggestion of the Great Execution Order." Liang Xiao poured another glass of water and sipped it slowly. "Then what is the plan now, I wonder if you can inform me one or two?"

"Of course." Yan Anqiang smiled and explained the emperor's plan to take South Vietnam by force.Just like persuading Wang Hui, he specifically emphasized the crisis of confidence in the emperor's ruling.

Liang Xiao was silent for a long time.He understood what Yan An meant, and knew that it was basically the truth.Today's emperor is not confident enough to be invincible, he needs more victories to prove himself.

Liang Xiao felt a little regretful.Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history was eager for success, he was not so impulsive.It seems that the Battle of the Huns made him overestimate the strength of the Han army.In his view, South Vietnam, like the Huns, can be easily defeated.He didn't know that the reason why the battle against the Huns was so smooth was because of decades of preparation and his golden finger as a traverser.

Against South Vietnam, they did not have such a clear advantage.

"I have an appointment with Zhao Guang. If you are interested, you can take a look." Liang Xiao sent someone to call Qin Ge, Han Shuo and others. "I've already lost ten gold, can you win it back for me?"

Yan An showed some embarrassment.Liang Xiao's words seemed inexplicable, but they were actually reminding him of a fact.Facing the South Vietnamese soldiers, the Han army did not have the advantage they had estimated.Whether Qin Ge and the others, or the Liang family's trilogy, they were all the best of the best. If they all lost to the Nanyue people, what advantage would the Han soldiers led by Wang Hui have?

"This kind of small-scale fight, can't explain anything?"

Liang Xiao glanced at Yan An, but did not speak.He drank the water silently, looking out the window from time to time.In the distance, on the boat of the Nanyue people, Zhao Guang and the Nanyue envoys were standing side by side. They didn't know when they were talking, but judging from the way they looked over from time to time, it should be related to Yan An's arrival.

Compared with the underestimation of the enemy by the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of Nanyue—at least the ministers—are very defensive.

However, judging from the reactions of Dou Ying and others, this battle is probably inevitable.The emperor needs this victory to prove himself, Yan An and Wang Hui need this victory to increase his rank, Dou Ying needs this war to reflect his achievements during this period, and at the same time give Dou Qufei a chance to fight.Everyone wanted to fight, but he alone couldn't stop it.

Sometimes, he even had the illusion that he was the only adult, and everyone else was young and inexperienced, including senior ministers like Dou Ying, who were suspected of being impulsive when thinking about things.

After a while, Qin Ge and others came.They were called from training, and they were still wearing South Vietnamese-style bamboo and wooden armors, with their arms open, revealing their chests steaming with sweat. A few steps away, the smell of sweat on their bodies made Yan An frown.

Seeing Yan An who was going back and forth, they didn't know what happened. They looked at Liang Xiao and then at Yan An, feeling uneasy by the atmosphere in the cabin.

Liang Xiao said: "I have already made an appointment with Zhao Guang, let's compete again. How sure are you?"

Qin Ge thought for a while. "If we fight bravely and fiercely, regardless of the cost, we have a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning. But if we start from learning their tactics, it may only be [-]% to [-]% chance."

Liang Xiao turned his gaze to Yan An. "Yan Jun, are you interested in joining the war?"

"Me?" Yan An was surprised.

"Yes, I let them familiarize themselves with the tactics of the Nanyue people to prepare for future wars. If Jun Yan wants to make meritorious service and become a marquis, he should understand more or less." Liang Xiao said slowly: "You know, there is no military merit. , cannot be sealed as a marquis."

"I..." Yan An was both a little moved and a little uneasy, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.He really wanted to make meritorious service, just as Liang Xiao said, without military merits, it would be very difficult for him to be named a Marquis.But in front of so many officials, he couldn't seem so impatient.

Seeing Yan An's expression, Liang Xiao couldn't help but sneer secretly.Is it that easy to do meritorious deeds?Maybe let you have a little bit of trouble, you will know that Midsummer War can not be summed up in an understatement.

"Well, don't rush to decide whether to join the war, and try to practice with them first, how about it?"

Yan An listened and nodded repeatedly.If he doesn't agree again, Qin Ge and the others will probably be annoyed.

Qin Ge and the others were even more surprised when Liang Xiao said that Yan An had the idea of ​​making meritorious service.They also want to make meritorious service through combat, but after training for this period of time, they know that launching a war at this time is definitely not a wise decision, and it can even be said to be a disaster.Especially Qin Ge, Liang Xiao's suggestion was given to Wang Hui by him.It now appears that the emperor rejected this proposal and decided to immediately launch a war to conquer South Vietnam.

Yan An in front of him is probably the instigator.

In an instant, Qin Ge had an idea.He glanced at Liang Xiao calmly and nodded.Liang Xiao smiled, his mouth crooked, and his eyelids lowered.

-

Qin Ge led Yan An out of the cabin with a smile on his face and all manners.He is not Liang Xiao, so he has no right to be rude to Yan An.

"Doctor Yan, do you think you should dress like us, or dress neatly?" Qin Ge said enthusiastically, "We are all rough people, so it doesn't matter if we dress simpler. The doctor is a scholar, so I'm afraid we can't be too casual."

Yan An looked at the bamboo and wooden armors on Qin Ge and the others, and felt that they were not suitable.Considering that even if he participated in the battle, he would not be able to go to the front line in person, and basic armor and clothing were still needed, so he followed Qin Ge's suggestion and put on formal armor.

Metal armor is not only heavy, but the edges are easy to cut the skin, so if you want to wear metal armor, you must line it with a thick battle robe.It was the beginning of June, and the sun was scorching hot. As soon as the shirt and armor were put on, Yan An felt that he was soaked in hot water, sweating all over his body, and he was so hot that he couldn't breathe.

He felt a little regretful, but he was embarrassed to take it off.Let him wear the uniform of a South Vietnamese soldier like Qin Ge, he can't afford to lose that person.If it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be a stain.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and try his best to maintain his demeanor without raising his hands to wipe the sweat from his face.

Qin Ge and the others saw it, smiled in their hearts, praised him deliberately, and persuaded Yan An to let all the guards who came to protect him put on armor and participate in the training together.It was hard for Yan An to refuse, so he agreed one by one.The Lang officials changed their faces, and scolded Yan An's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.

Training in this weather?I am dizzy from the heat standing here, how can I run?
Qin Ge and the others, proud of their mischief, asked all the officials to change their outfits, and then led them into battle. They came to the foot of the ridge, pointed to a mountain not far away, and said, "Practice your feet first. Let’s get familiar with the mountain road.”

After finishing speaking, they spread out and ran towards the mountains in groups of three or four, enveloping Yan An.

Although he was dragged away by the officials, Yan An still kept complaining.The mountain road in the forest was bumpy, with branches sweeping across his face from time to time, Qin Ge and the others ran in a hurry, and didn't care too much. Before walking a hundred steps, Yan An's face was scratched with blood, and it hurt so much Cruel.Sweat soaked into the wound, which made his face twitch, painful and itchy.

The distance of several hundred steps caused Yan An to suffer a lot, and also caused the officials who came with him to complain endlessly.They didn't know the purpose of Yan An's coming to South Vietnam, and they were not mentally prepared to go out with Yan An to make meritorious service. They were suddenly dragged into the jungle to practice, and naturally they complained.

However, they couldn't blame Qin Ge.Their task is to protect Yan An, Yan An has participated in the exercise, how can they stay out of it.

They panted heavily, lowered their heads, pressed their helmets, and ran as hard as they could in the woods.Sweat poured out layer by layer, and the battle robes were already soaked, all sticking to their bodies, pulling their legs and making them unable to take a step.After barely running to the ridge, some people had already heard the sound of water in their boots, and some people just sat down on the ground, untied their armor regardless, and slapped them fiercely with their hands.

Yan An was also tired like a dog.Although the Lang officials are hot, they are warriors after all, and their physical fitness is much better.But he is a real scholar, not to mention wearing a full body armor, even if he is asked to run empty-handed, he will feel strenuous.On the ridge, Han said that as soon as he let go, he staggered and lay down on the ground directly.

Qin Ge hurried over and helped him up. "Doctor, what's the matter with you?"

"I... nothing." Yan An's face was pale and sweat was profuse.He looked at those Lang Guan who tore off their armor, and suddenly envied them.He hoped that he could disregard his image like them, and let him cool off before talking.However, when he thought of his identity, he couldn't do this, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.His eyes turned black and his legs felt weak, so he could only lean on Qin Ge's body.

"I...I want to take a break." Yan An regretted it too much, and struggled to the side of a big tree, leaning against the tree and sat down.Here, he could see the boat by the water, and when he thought of Liang Xiao sitting in the cabin, drinking tea and looking at the scenery, he felt his face burning hot.

With his intelligence, how could he not understand the intention of Liang Xiao's proposal.It's just that now, how can we talk about it so that the emperor can cancel the decision he has made?
Yan An is in a dilemma.
