Liang Jianyan

Chapter 18

Want to say still off, but said the sky is cool in autumn.

The autumn wind is desolate, and it is even more desolate when it blows to the northwest battlefield.There was yellow sand last night and it didn't stop this morning.Before dawn, Yang Heng was notified that the food and grass allocated by the emperor had arrived.He didn't care about the yellow sand all over the sky, so he quickly arranged for people to pick up the people who escorted the grain and grass.

"I didn't expect the imperial court to send the grain and grass here so soon!" Yang Heng was very happy in his heart, pointing to the emperor's handwritten letter in his hand, he said that His Majesty was indeed far-sighted, and had already prepared the grain and grass a few months earlier, and specially offered sacrifices to heaven. Ask for rain.We, on the other hand, eagerly asked His Majesty for military rations.

The emperor's grace is mighty!

Yan Chen also nodded in agreement, but thought in his heart: Liang Xuanliang has long expected that we will face off against the Turks in Huzhou, and prepared food and grass early, isn't it just waiting for me to speak to him?

This time, I'll kill him with embarrassment.

"By the way, here is another letter from His Majesty." Yang Heng handed a letter to Yan Chen—the letter paper was a circle smaller than the letter paper containing the battle report, and there were four large characters written on the envelope "To Yan Chen sees."

Really angry and funny - what kind of tone are you talking about?At any rate, it is something that needs to be handled by the courtiers, and you are really not afraid of being laughed at by others.

He took the letter and opened it to read, but who knew that there were only two sentences written on it: Occasionally feeling cold, sleepless day and night.Tell me not to read it, what is your intention?

……what?

Seeing his shocked expression, Yang Heng thought that there was something important in the letter, so he asked, "But Your Majesty said that we are not effective in overseeing the army?"

"Ah, no." Yan Chen quickly folded the letter in half, "Your Majesty just cares about us and looks forward to our early triumph."

Hearing this, Yang Heng felt relieved. He said that now that we have enough food and grass, and the war with the Turks is no longer restrained, we must do our best!

"Yes."

After everything was arranged properly, Yan Chen returned to the tent.He stared at the letter and thought for a long time, and finally decided to write a letter to Liang Xuanliang, at least to remind him not to forget the majesty of the emperor, and it is not a good thing to always take advantage of the military newspaper to make jokes.

As soon as he started to write, Zuo Duo came in - since the battle of Qisha Pass, Zuo Duo's attitude towards Yan Chen has been turned upside down.Originally, Yan Chen thought that he said that he "violated military regulations, left his post without authorization, disobeyed military orders, and attacked rashly", and even beat him with thirty military sticks in front of all the soldiers. This kid will definitely hate him for a long time.Even Yang Heng reminded him that Zuo Duo was the prime minister's son after all, so he had to give the prime minister face no matter what.However, Yan Chen said that before the military law, all soldiers were equal, and he had already spared him once in a fight before, so how can he establish his majesty with severe punishment this time? ! !

"Zuo Duo is negligent in his duties, he is willing to be punished!" He admitted his mistake, received thirty army sticks, and volunteered to have extra training for two hours a day.Yan Chen saw that he was repentant enough, so he didn't pursue the matter any further, but warned him that if he committed another crime, he would be dealt with by military law.

This kid is a talent to be made, but after all this, I'm afraid the grudge against me will deepen...

However, he did not expect that Zuo Duo would come to his tent to look for him that night.Holding a jug of wine, he limped up to Yan Chen and said with a smile, "Good evening Yan Canjun, do you want to have a drink together?"

Yan Chen looked at him suspiciously, wondering what this kid was planning.Young stepped forward to stop him, saying that my adults do not welcome you, so go away!

Knowing that Yan Chen was on guard against him, Zuo Duo put the wine on the table and knelt down with a plop.

This kneeling frightened Yan Chen - what tricks are they doing?

What Zuo Duo said next surprised Yan Chen even more, "Please Yan join the army and take me as an apprentice and teach me the art of war!"

"……what?"

My ears, don’t you hear hallucinations?You said let me teach you the art of war?

"Correct!"

During the Battle of Qishaguan, I admired Yan Canjun's strategy very much. After some careful consideration, I finally realized that if you want to become a famous general on the battlefield, you can't just rely on your blood.Zuo Duo was willing to ask for advice with an open mind, and also asked Yan to join the army to teach me the art of war regardless of the previous suspicions.

His attitude is so serious, but it makes Yan Chen a little bit embarrassed - accepting the son of the prime minister, Liang Xuanliang's brother-in-law as an apprentice... No matter how you look at it, it is very troublesome...

Then wouldn't I be a generation older than Liang Xuanliang?Are you sure the Holy One won't punish you for your sin?

"This..." Zuo Duo thought for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Why don't we sworn brothers and you be my elder brother!"

Anyway, I have only one son in my Zuo family, and I don’t have an older brother.You sworn sworn brothers with me, being my elder brother, you can justifiably teach me how to fight!

When Yan Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing—you are a clever kid.

"But if you want to learn how to fight, I'd be happy to teach you without such trouble."

"That can't be done! Seniors and young are in order. I respect you so I worship you as the eldest brother." He then pulled Yan Chen to kneel down together, swearing to the sky, "I am Zuo Duo, the name is He Nian, and I am ten years old. Seventh, people from the imperial capital. I am here today as a brother of Yan Chen. I worship Yan Chen as my brother, and I will respect and respect him, and humbly ask for advice. I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day!” After finishing speaking, he raised his head. Looking at Yan Chen, his eyes were full of anticipation.

The young man has a true temperament, and although his words are not brilliant, they are enough to move his heart.Yan Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional - brother...

My brothers were all buried in the imperial palace of the Imperial Capital seven years ago, turning into dust and duckweed, and now I am the only one left, alone.

"...I promise you." Yan Chen said, "But life and death depend on fate and wealth. I am already older than you, and I am from the previous dynasty. The world is impermanent. I don't want to die together, but I want to be in the same heart."

You will be my younger brother from now on, you must not be reckless, or it will be my elder brother's fault.

Seeing Yan Chen agreeing to this matter, Zuo Duo was overjoyed, he said brother, don't worry, I will definitely not do it again!

I will humbly ask for advice, beat Turks hard, and make great achievements!

Yan Chen couldn't help laughing, "Then you and my brother, we must do our best on this battlefield!"

Since then, Zuo Duo often talked to Yan Chen about the method of marching and fighting.He is indeed a general, and he only needs a little bit from Yan Chen every time to understand the profound meaning.

"But no matter how smart I am, I am not as highly regarded by your majesty as my elder brother." He sighed and said that every time your majesty writes to your elder brother, such appreciation makes me greedy.

Zuo Duo spoke bluntly, and Yan Chen did not argue with him.He thought to himself, if you see what Liang Xuanliang writes every time, you probably won't envy me.

Every word and sentence is like a knife wiped with sugar, it's a battle of wits and scheming.

But fortunately, there is such a confrontation on the pen, which makes him feel that this long journey will not be so boring-the same is the end of the world.

Three months later, Great Liang regained Huzhou.

[Standing on the city tower today, looking up at the vast starry sky, I am finally sighing that the soldiers can have a good year. 】

Looking at the words on the memorial, Liang Xuanliang could think of that person's calm face, those two thin lips spit out these words gently, as if telling a story with an old friend.He could even imagine Yan Chen standing on the city tower looking up at the starry sky. The bright moonlight in the northwest must look good on him.

...a year has passed.

Liang Xuanliang suddenly felt a little emotional - last year's New Year's Eve, Yan Chen was still holding a knife around his neck, but this year's New Year's Eve, he was thinking about others.

I am afraid that the book repairers of later generations will find out and criticize me.

Shaking her head helplessly, Liang Xuanliang got up - it was time to prepare for the court meeting tomorrow morning.

The past is like running water, gone forever.

East goes to spring and comes again, who misses the sweetheart.

Perhaps this is also good, as soon as he met Yan Chen, he couldn't help but confront each other.Even if there was a little softness in my heart, it disappeared between the sarcasm.They are all the same people, even if they endure the humiliation and cannot help themselves, they cannot let go of their arrogance.Only between the letters can a little bit of tenderness be revealed.

Sometimes he wondered, if Yan Chen hadn't hurt his eyes when he was a child, and the Liang family hadn't seized the Yan family's throne, or if Yan Chen had been sincere to him, would they be able to be a pair of friends who just chatted under the moon? .In life, it is rare to meet a confidant.He originally thought that even if he and Yan Chen could not be confidantes, they could still be a pair of sympathetic opponents.He will definitely win Yan Chen - a person who is too kind cannot become an emperor, Yan Chen is not as ruthless as him.

He lost one eye when he was a child and was bullied by others. When he grew up, he became an enemy of his father and elder brother. After he ascended the throne, he had to guard against those rebellious officials and thieves who coveted his throne.People only look at the emperor's ninety-five-year honor, but they don't know how much blood was stained on his hands because of this dragon robe.

In terms of cruelty and ruthlessness, who can compare to Liang Xuanliang?

...But now I can be happy for a long time because of Yan Chen's words.

What changed in the end—he was a little worried, but he also had a faint expectation.This kind of anticipation became more and more profound with the letters from Yan Chen every month, and all of them were turned into pen and ink, and spread to the vast northwestern border.

In this way, Liang Xuanliang could see Yan Chen's memorial at the beginning of every month.Yan Chen's words are still strict when he writes, and he is not negligent in reporting the war.Occasionally, he would write a few words on the inner seal, to the effect that Liang Xuanliang should not write some inexplicable words on the edict, which would make the ministers laugh.Liang Xuanliang was a little displeased—this country of Great Liang belongs to me, so I can write whatever I like, those courtiers, how dare they chew my tongue?

But he is the emperor of Great Liang after all, so he naturally understands the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.So he also restrained himself a little bit, and just "tactfully greeted" Counselor Yan at the end of the edict every time.

After more than half a year like this, early this morning, he was reviewing the affairs of the court as usual, but he saw Du Guanxuan rushing in with a memorial, "Your Majesty! The battle report from the front line, hurry up!"

Liang Xuanliang was taken aback, and hurriedly brought over the memorial—Da Liang's army was ambushed in Huichuan, and suffered heavy losses.

Yan Chen joined the army and was seriously injured.
