Chapter 521: It's time to teach him a lesson
In the Southwest Military Camp, General Yan looked at the letter sent by Emperor Jingning and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not blame Yan Yan for being reckless.
General Yan had a bad temper when he was young, but he has gradually become calmer in the past two years.
Yan Yan grew up with General Yan and has the same violent temper as General Yan.
This time she led her troops to pursue the Dongyi people relentlessly because she was irritated by them.
The people from the Dongyi region have been causing trouble on the border, and have occasional frictions and conflicts with the people living on the southwestern border.
Over the years, they have been testing Daliang's bottom line little by little.
Just at the end of last year, things got a bit too chaotic over there in Dongyi, and the situation almost got out of control.
If their leader had not appeared at the critical moment and taken the troublemaker away in time, the fight would probably have broken out.
The Dongyi people always come here to provoke Daliang in a despicable manner, and the Southwestern Army has long wanted to teach them a severe lesson.
General Yan reported the situation to the court, wanting to know the court's attitude.
The court’s message was that the matter was over and that they should just let it go and try not to cause unnecessary war.
General Yan also expressed his understanding of this. If the situation has not gotten out of control, there is really no need to fight.
In this case, the Southwestern Army will continue to guard the border and fulfill its duties.
After that, the Dongyi became much more obedient and lived in peace with Daliang for a while.
But General Yan had a very strong feeling in his heart that the Dongyi were not as obedient as they appeared, and what they saw now was all an illusion.
Although in the past, the Dongyi people would always cause trouble on the border at the end of the year.
But that time the quarrel was particularly serious.
He felt that Dongyi still had some backup plan.
Just as he expected, the Dongyi people started to make trouble again not long after.
What General Yan did not expect was that this time the Dongyi people would actually join forces with the State of Chen in an attempt to cause unrest on the southwest and northwest borders.
They also arrested innocent people from Daliang and forced them to try out poison.
If Emperor Jingning had not sent someone to tell them to take precautions, the Dongyi might have succeeded.
The time was not right before, but now with the approval of Emperor Jingning, the Southwestern Army can finally take action to teach those ignorant, stupid and evil Dongyi people a lesson.
Just before going into battle, General Yan suddenly suffered from an old illness.
He didn't want to waste time, so he asked Yan Yan to take his place.
Yan Yan was taught both martial arts and military tactics by General Yan, and he had confidence in his granddaughter.
As long as she doesn't get stubborn at the critical moment, she will definitely be able to complete the task perfectly.
Yan Yan originally wanted to teach Dongyi a lesson, and now he finally got the chance, so naturally he wanted to teach them a lesson they would never forget.
Whenever the Dongyi people caused trouble, Daliang would always let it go.
This time, the Dongyi dared to join forces with the State of Chen to do these things because they were sure that Daliang would not do anything to them.
What's more, the State of Chen is also involved this time, and it is impossible for Daliang to start wars in the southwest and northwest at the same time.
Unexpectedly, Daliang did not play by the rules. Faced with the heavy attack from the Southwestern Army, the Dongyi were simply unable to resist.
The Dongyi people were cowards to begin with, and they became scared as soon as Yan Yan attacked them.
After the tribe was broken up, the Dongyi royal family was even more confused.
They submitted a letter of surrender and wanted to send envoys to Daliang to seek peace.
But Yan Yan pretended to be stupid and ordered the Southwestern Army to advance towards Dongyi.
The leaders of the Dongyi tribe were so scared that they sent letters of surrender to Daliang one after another.
It was not until Emperor Jingning gave clear instructions that Daliang had accepted the surrender of Dongyi that Yan Yan reluctantly stopped the army.
Facing Dongyi's tearful accusations, Yan Yan said that he was just too absorbed in the battle and couldn't stop for a moment.
General Yan thought he was thicker than a city wall, but when he saw his granddaughter's shameless statement, he felt a little embarrassed.
If this kind of thing happens again next time, Yan Yan will probably do the same.
In fact, in the eyes of General Yan and the soldiers of the Northwest Army, the Dongyi people should be taught a severe lesson.
Not only must the lesson be severe, it must also be one that they will never forget.
Otherwise they will dare to do it again next time and will be even more aggressive.
But Yan Yan acted on his own initiative after all. Fortunately, His Majesty did not blame him and praised Yan Yan and the soldiers of the Southwest Army.
Now that the war is over, the court is planning to reward the generals who have made contributions.
General Yan put down the letter, picked up the teacup in a good mood and took a sip of tea.
This time, he will return to the capital with his granddaughter.
Now Dongyi dare not have any evil ideas for the time being. It is a good opportunity for him to go back and find a doctor to treat his old illness, and he can also watch his granddaughter being conferred the title with his own eyes.
