Xie Lian asked everyone to leave and stayed alone in the room to tidy up Yan Kuan’s armor.

The bronze armor was cold. Xie Lian couldn't help stroking the armor on Yan Kuan's chest, his tone somewhat desolate:

"Do you blame me?"

Yan Kuan frowned as he looked at Xie Lian, who was bowing his head. “Lift your head, so I can see?”

Xie Lian didn’t move. Yan Kuan sighed and held his chin with his hand, forcing him to look up.

There was mist in the phoenix eyes, and Xie Lian's eyes were full of reluctance, helplessness, and even grief.

Yan Kuan sighed, held his face in his hands, and kept wiping his tears with his thumb:

"Are you stupid? I am a general. There is a war going on in the front. This is my responsibility. What does it have to do with you? Besides, if I don't go, how can I help my father and elder brother to get revenge? How can I ask them to agree to come back and marry you?"

Xie Lian was so moved by his words that he cried and laughed at the same time. He couldn’t help but hit him with his hand: “Why are you yelling? How did my father and elder brother become yours?”

And what about getting married or not? This bastard is not serious at this time and is just talking nonsense.

Yan Kuan felt relieved when he saw him smile, and couldn't help teasing him:

"It's only a matter of time. I'm going there this time to ask my father and elder brother to agree to this marriage."

He was talking more and more nonsense. Xie Lian felt his heart burn at the word "marry" and glared at Yan Kuan fiercely.

He was already handsome, and at this moment, the corners of his eyes were crimson, and even the black mole at the corner of his eye had a seductive aura, which made Yan Kuan's heart tremble:

"Don't move, let me take a closer look. I miss you even before I leave."

Xie Lian was slightly startled by these straightforward words of love, then, with a blushing face, he gently leaned on Yan Kuan’s chest, a hint of happiness overflowing from his phoenix eyes, and his whole body exuded a tenderness and tenderness that he himself was not even aware of.

After a moment, he thought of something, took out a military token from his arms and handed it to Yan Kuan.

"Lion Talisman?"

Yan Kuan took it and curled his lips: "The carving is just so-so, not as good as my craftsmanship"

Xie Lian thought of the exquisitely carved figurine Yan Kuan had given him, and laughed angrily: “Can you please be more serious? I’m talking to you about business.”

Yan Kuan acted like a good dog, and quickly stood up and listened to his master's lecture in a flattering manner.

"This military token can mobilize 200,000 troops near the capital, together with the 200,000 leopard tokens in your hand and the 300,000 tiger tokens given to you by the Duke of Zhenguo, a total of 700,000 troops, you can dispatch them at will."

To Xie Lian’s surprise, Yan Kuan just took a look at it and stuffed it back into his clothes.

"You, this is?"

Yan Kuan hugged Xie Lian tightly and put his head on his shoulder:

"Fool, you gave me everything, what will you do? What if something changes ahead and the people riot? How can you, a prime minister who is so smart that he is almost a demon, not even leave a way out for himself?"

Xie Lian struggled to push him away, his tone anxious:

"But Xiliang has strong soldiers and horses, and everyone is good at fighting. There are also foreign nations such as Dirong, Xianyi, Baili and so on around them. If they join forces and are in their territory, I am afraid of you..."

Just as he was about to say that he was afraid that you would be like my father and brother, Xie Lian felt a sharp pain in his heart. He could not bear the consequences. He must not lose Yan Kuan.

Yan Kuan seemed to know his worries and fears. He hugged his trembling body tightly and whispered softly in his ear:

"Fool, don't you understand? You are my retreat. Only when you are safe can I kill the enemy in the front without being distracted.

My dear, my A-Lian is so good, I just want to give you a peaceful world, so that you can be happy every day in the future."

"Brother Kuan..."

At the gate tower, Xie Lian led all the officials to see the soldiers off. Xie Lian personally poured a glass of wine and toasted to Yan Kuan:

"I wish the general a successful start and to enhance the prestige of our country"

Yan Kuan looked at him with a smile, took it and drank it all in one gulp.

He turned around, mounted his warhorse and rode in front of the three armies, dressed in a military uniform and looking heroic, holding a sword in his hand and pointing it at the sky:

"Whoever offends the Great Yue will be punished no matter how far away they are. Soldiers, do you dare to follow me into battle and kill the enemy?"

The soldiers lined up neatly and smashed their spears to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and a resolute solemnity. Their voices echoed across the country:

"Anyone who offends Dai Viet must be punished, no matter how far away they are. Kill, kill, kill."

Yan Kuan gave a solemn order: "Let's go!"

He immediately took the lead and rode away on horseback.

Xie Lian stood on the city gate tower, watching Yan Kuan’s figure gradually turn into a small dot and disappear at the end, feeling a little sad in his heart:

"Pass the order down. All cities and counties along the way must cooperate with General Yan's dispatch. Those who disobey the order will be executed. Furthermore, the news from the front will be reported once a day instead of half a day."

Wei Ran received the order: "Yes, I will pass the order immediately."

The journey was long and the mountains were high; it would be ten days before we got any news from the capital.

Yan Kuan led his troops to the Lengguan area of ​​Hezhou. The scouts ahead reported: "Report to the general, the front is Hezhou, the city gates are locked, and the current situation in the city is unknown."

Yan Kuan stood in the center of the tent, looking at the dangerous border map spread out on the table, his face gloomy.

Zhou Nan is good at making plans. He bowed and reported:

"General, we don't know how many troops the enemy has now, and there are signs of enemy attacks on our borders. This could be their conspiracy. They want us to disperse our forces so that they can find a good opportunity to attack us. We must be on guard."

Chen Kuang also said: "General, please make a decision as soon as possible. I just went to the city gate to check and found smoke rising from the city. It seemed that there were people crying. I don't know how the Xiliang beasts bullied the people of Da Yue."

Yan Kuan's eyes were cold and stern, and he pointed to two points on the map: "At this moment, we must not leave the people alone, Zhou Nan..."

"Subordinates in"

"You will be the vanguard of the left wing Sima, lead 50,000 troops to Gancheng, and drive the enemy out of the border."

"Yes, I will obey your command."

"Chen Kuang"

"The subordinates are here"

"I order you to be the vanguard of the right wing Sima, go to Lengguan, protect the people in the city, and drive the enemy to Hezhou area."

"Yes, I will obey your command."

After giving the order, Yan Kuan pointed to Hezhou on the map and said, "Five days later, the three armies will meet at Yuelanque outside Hezhou and attack Xiliang directly."

"Yes"

Seeing that the two Simas had gone out to inspect the troops, Chen San hurried forward and saluted: "General, what should we do?"

This is their hometown. Seeing the gaps in the city gate tower and the painful howlings of the people, the brothers could no longer sit still. They wished they could attack right now and drive the enemy out of Hezhou.

Yan Kuan's eyes were deep: "Chen San, listen to my orders."

Chen San was excited and hurriedly bowed: "I am here"

"Appoint you as the senior lieutenant of the three armies, and find four subordinates, each with a thousand elite soldiers, to go to the four counties of Hezhou to rescue the people."

"Then follow me into the city, we'll meet old friends."

When he said this, a sharp look flashed in Yan Kuan's eyes.

The siege went extremely smoothly, all thanks to Yan Kuan and Chen San's detailed knowledge of the terrain. They attacked from the other side of the city wall, catching the Xiliang Army off guard. In less than half a day, they drove them out of the county.

There were broken walls and ruins, and the streets were covered with blood and traces of fire. The people of Xiliang were indeed brutal. They set fire when they couldn't win the battle. Yan Kuan asked Chen San and other soldiers to do their best to put out the fire, and they rescued the trapped people before dark.

After settling everything, Yan Kuan walked towards the government office surrounded by soldiers. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a wretched figure.
