[Chapter 179 Chapter 179 Becoming a Popular Person after Divorce (56)]
Not far ahead is a mountain in the shape of the Chinese character "Cong". There is a valley between the two mountains for people to pass through.
The scorching sun burned the sky and the yellow sand carried the heat waves.
"All soldiers, listen to my command. Dismount and form a battle line!" Yan Qiansong raised his weapon high and swept it across, commanding the cavalry. "The elite troops on the periphery will form a long snake formation!"
The so-called long snake formation is just as its name suggests, it can be used for attack when it moves and for defense when it is still.
A large group of soldiers spread out to the outer circle, connected head to tail in a defensive posture. Another group of people, under Yan Qiansong's command, found branches from not far away.
Xu Wenjian rode back to the city with the general's order to mobilize troops, saying that Wanshan had ordered that anyone who dared to disobey would be killed without mercy.
The scouts took the lead and entered the Xianhuang Valley to explore, but returned after finding nothing unusual.
The enemy leader who was ambushing on the mountain made a gesture, and all the soldiers crawled on the ground without daring to make a sound.
"That old thief Yan Wanshan is quite cautious."
It was almost evening, and there was still no sign of the sun setting in the west. The You soldiers who were hiding on the mountain under cover were feeling dizzy from the heat.
"General, what should we do if they don't fall into the trap?"
The leader slapped him on the head: "Impossible!"
Their dispatch of the armored cavalry this time has aroused enough hatred. According to the temperament of the old thief Yan, he will certainly choose to pursue the victory in one go and avenge the people of Dayan who died at the hands of the armored cavalry in Youdu.
Not to mention that there are people in the opposing army who are fanning the flames.
The golden light sank to the west, and the valley suddenly became dark.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horse hooves and neighing coming from far away, and the rolling dust made the vision increasingly unclear.
Just from the billowing smoke and the huge noise, one could tell that there was an army of thousands on the other side.
"Here they come! Prepare to attack!"
The Black Wolf flag waved in the wind, and rolling stones smashed into the valley with flying dust.
Shouts and the neighing of horses intertwined.
The people of You State rushed down the mountain, ready to wipe out the Dayan soldiers who fell into the trap.
But no one's body was seen.
When they realized something was wrong, they turned around and tried to run, but were counterattacked by the Dayan soldiers who rushed into the valley entrance.
Unable to escape, he wanted to take advantage of his numbers to win the game.
Xu Wenxuan arrived in time with reinforcements, and the morale of the Dayan soldiers was further boosted.
After this battle, the You Kingdom was severely damaged.
The Yan family army took advantage of the situation and struck hard at the enemy, directly capturing a city.
When it came to merit evaluation, Xu Wenjian, who provided timely support and killed many enemies, was promoted to another level.
He is now a sixth-rank Tiger Fang deputy general.
If he wants to be promoted further, Yan Wanshan needs to ask for permission from the court.
When Xu Wenxuan came back to call for reinforcements, he was ambushed.
Seeing him return, the vanguard guards in the city were shocked and tried to use an excuse to delay the deployment of troops, but he stabbed them to death on the spot with a spear.
Yan Wanshan ordered each camp to conduct a self-inspection, determined to uncover all the spies.
The list that Yan Qing had secretly ordered the secret guards to deliver earlier began to show its effect at this moment.
"Woo woo, you are indeed my good boy, very smart." Yan Wanshan hugged his helmet.
Touching the red tassel on his helmet, he missed his wife and daughter who were far away in the capital.
As for the youngest son——
He seemed to have really forgotten.
Yan Qiansong whispered at the side: "Every time you praise my little sister, she never forgets to bring me along."
My mother said that the brains of their family are all in my younger sister and youngest brother.
Because these two children look like her.
As for him and his father, they are like a rigid iron tree that can never produce a single flower.
On this day, the generals had just finished discussing You State's request for peace when they suddenly heard that the lady had entered the city.
Zhang Wanqing initially stayed in Lanyu City with the army. Her eldest son Yan Qiansong was born here. Later, when she became pregnant with her second child, she returned to Beijing to recuperate.
By the way, he also built up his network and ran a shop in Beijing.
Yan Wanshan's steps were so fast that he looked like a brown bear dancing with excitement.
After running for a distance, he remembered his image as a general. He straightened his back, put on his helmet, and strode forward.
Xu Wenjian, who had heard the news, grabbed Yan Qiansong and said, "Brother-in-law, please help me check if there is anything messy on my body."
Thinking about meeting his mother, Yan Qiansong didn't pay attention to his address. He patted his shoulder and replied, "It's good to be neat and tidy."
"Okay!" Xu Wenzhang was as proud as a peacock. He shook his head coolly and quickly chased after Yan Wanshan.
Yan Qiansong scratched his head: "Isn't that my mother?"
Why is this kid in such a hurry to see his mother?
etc--
What did the brat call him just now?
Brother-in-law?
He slapped his head.
Great, so this broken thing's real purpose is to target his sister!
When Xu Wenjian chased after him, Yan Wanshan was hugging his wife in his arms and crying like a man.
He looked around for a long time, but only saw forsythia, good weather and beautiful scenery.
"Where's Aqing?" he asked hurriedly.
Liangchen pulled Meijing and bowed: "Reporting to the prince, the young lady is still in Kyoto."
"Brother Xu!" Lian Qiao had met him in Pingnan before. She waved her hand to greet him, then ran over and whispered, "Brother Xu, if you want to know about my beautiful sister, you can come to me."
She raised her chin, looking proud and knowledgeable.
Xu Wenzhang's eyes lit up and he pulled the little girl aside.
Yan Qiansong, who arrived later, curiously leaned over, only to hear a string of compliments being praised to his own sister.
Fortunately, the silly boy from the Xu family listened with great interest.
Lian Qiao smiled innocently: "I knew that beautiful sister is Brother Xu's sweetheart."
Xu Wenjian blushed when he heard this, but the little girl continued, "Beautiful sister is also my sweetheart."
He was stunned, and the embarrassment on his face turned into defensiveness: "No!"
Lian Qiao looked confused.
Isn’t a sweetheart the person you admire in your heart?
Why can't she treat her beautiful sister as her lover?
"No! You can't snatch A Qing from me!" Xu Wenjian threatened her with a stern face.
She had waited so long for her master to divorce A-qing, but before she could even hold him in her arms, she found a rival in love.
He has a really hard life.
"What are they talking about?" Mei Jing rubbed her chubby face.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Liangchen's forehead.
Yan Qiansong crossed his arms and gloated, punching Xu Wenzhang hard on the chest: "My sister is not someone you can easily covet."
His sister is so outstanding, it's normal for her to have so many people interested in her.
Zhang Wanqing glanced at Xu Wenzhang again, with a mysterious smile on her lips.
"Wife, don't look at him, look at me." Yan Wanshan hugged her tightly.
I was so overwhelmed by the joy of meeting her again that it took me a while to remember to ask her why she suddenly appeared here.
Zhang Wanqing only said: "It was Guaibao's arrangement."
Many major events have happened in the capital recently, and the struggle between the aristocratic families and the royal family has reached a fever pitch. Leaving the limelight temporarily is the best option.
They first traveled by water to Jiangnan, and then took the land route to the border town. The youngest son Yan Baichuan had also gone from the academy to his grandfather's home in Jiangnan.
Thinking of the look in her daughter's eyes before she entered the palace, she always felt that something big was about to happen.
"How's the situation at the front?" she asked.
Yan Wanshan replied: "The other party wants to make peace, and said that they sent the most favored Ninth Prince."
"Why is Guaibao staying in the capital alone?" He looked worried.
"Qing'er said she will come to reunite with us later." Zhang Wanqing rubbed the base of her hand, "But I still feel uneasy."
That girl had big ideas in mind, and they were afraid of causing trouble for Yan Qing, so they followed her arrangements.
At this time, Yan Qing forced Chen Yanshu to send her out of the palace.
