Chapter 798 The King of England Turned a Corner

Of course, the Yan family army's heads were not given up in vain.

Yan Yu signed several IOUs for grain loans to Pan Zheng.

They were stamped with her father's seal, which was very formal.

As for how Pan Zheng would settle the debt with these IOUs, it was not Yan Yu's concern.

I think Pan Zheng should have reacted and realized that the court's supply line was like the unpredictable weather, sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, and he might not be able to count on it when he was stretched.

For something as critical as grain, it is more reassuring to hold it in one's own hands.

Eyeing the land they signed the contract, could it be that they expected the Yan family army to pay back the debt with it?

Haha, absolutely impossible!

"It seems that we have to find something for this kid to do!" Yan Yu pointed her finger on the map.

This is her uncle's habit. When thinking, his fingers will tap on the table unconsciously.

Pointing, things are settled.

So cool.

Yan Yu: "Pan Zheng is not a good person, but he has a good father."

Everyone nodded in unison.

In fact, it cannot be said that the son of the Duke of Anguo is useless. He is just a little arrogant, self-righteous, unable to see the situation clearly, and always puts on airs, always wanting to compete with her, General Yan.

Even Yan Yu can see that the Duke of Anguo Pan Da asked his old son to come here with the intention of letting Pan Zheng get familiar with the British king's army. General Pan didn't understand his father's good intentions.

Otherwise, why did the Duke of Anguo send these 5,000 people.

She didn't believe that the general who led the regular army didn't know the number of Western Rong remaining in the pass.

Not to mention that Pan Zheng led 5,000 soldiers, and the rations were nearly twice as much as normal.

Feeling sorry for his old son? Abusing power for personal gain?

I'm afraid not.

Yan Yu is more inclined to this Duke, who is well aware of the boiling water in the capital.

The throne changes, the old and the new inherit.

No one knows the dangers and opportunities better than these nobles who are close to the imperial power.

Judging from the deployment of the troops by Duke Pan, this person is used to winning in a stable situation. When the opportunity for war appears, he will make a decisive decision, with several times more troops than the enemy, and press with great force.

To be honest, if Duke An stood on the side of his son-in-law, he would sooner or later have to face the camp of King Ying. Yan Yu does not want to have such an opponent.

Mature and decisive.

What's more difficult is that this person wants both face and substance.

Xizhou is rich, and everyone knows it.

Her uncle also used this to attract the court army to cooperate in the battle.

And the court army led by Duke An recovered a city and was offered a city.

The word "be" is really wonderful.

Such a person is so terrible!

How could such a person stand on the side of King Wu when the situation is unclear, or even more favorable to King Ying.

Therefore, Yan Yu judged that this Duke Anguo wanted to be impartial.

He should be fair in everything.

At least on the surface, it was true.

And privately, the grain and grass that she easily borrowed with more rations were probably a small favor from Duke Anguo.

A benefit without cost.

In comparison, Pan Zheng was not like his father's son at all.

A simple person that can be seen at a glance.

"The court's regular army has grain, the barbarians have grain, and the rebel army also has grain. It turns out that our prince is suffering..." Yan Yu muttered in a low voice, his eyes uncontrollably scanning a point on the map.

His fingers also slipped over, rubbing and drawing circles.

The adults didn't react yet, but the children's eyes lit up one by one.

The scouts learned a lot of things, and in line with the principle of not wasting, the village elders arranged classes for the criminals.

Changed from fixed to irregular.

Whoever's turn it was.

These officials were very smart. They smelled a little bit of war and added the lesson of reading pictures and drawing.

Qi Da and others didn't understand, but the children saw it very carefully.

That was the place where they used to transport coal.

It is also the transit point for the supply of the Xizhou Army.

"Waiter, do we have enough people?" Da Gouzi asked quietly.

"Including General Pan's 5,000 people, it's enough." Yan Yu thought for a moment, and his eyes became more and more determined.

Unlike their new army, the 5,000 people led by Pan Zheng are veterans who have served in the army for many years. They are fully equipped with armor and weapons. Unlike them, they can't even guarantee a long gun for each person, and some people still use hollow wooden poles.

"Come on, let's discuss this food, no, how to fight this war." Yan Yu was full of food and almost said bald lips.

...

Yan Yu had dark circles under his eyes, and the others were not much better.

After staying up all night, they finally discussed a battle plan that everyone agreed to.

She was just about to visit General Pan.

Then she saw Jiuxiao flying down at a very fast speed.

Yan Yu raised her arm and held it steadily.

She took down the bamboo tube and blinked repeatedly when she looked at it.

What?

The King of England deliberately took a detour to visit her when he came to Beijing?

Whose idea was this?

Isn't this equivalent to a big leader coming to inspect?

She went through all the things in her mind.

Very good, except for wanting to raid the enemy's transit station, there is nothing that cannot be known.

Counting with fingers.

It has been more than half a month since her father received the letter, asking him to accompany the emperor to Beijing.

Hearing that the prince did not want to leave, the capital kept urging him.

He had to come to Beijing.

The emperor's order was hard to disobey.

You can ignore the old father's words, but this old father is the emperor's words. Even if you are fighting fiercely and anxiously, you have to come.

The reason why Yan Laoer was chosen.

First, her uncle recommended her. Deputy Qianzong Yan was a student and had an official position. He was good at doing things and was good at socializing.

Second, the King of England liked him and liked to talk to Yan Laoer. He was not restrained and free.

Sometimes it is more important to get the attention of the big leader than to work hard.

"Hurry up, get ready, the prince is coming!" Yan Yu was guilty and inevitably a little flustered.

When the Yan family army lined up neatly and watched the King of England's carriage getting closer and closer.

For some reason, Yan Yu's eyelids twitched.

Closer, closer.

Her father rode on Dahei, changed into a new armor, and shaved his beard. He looked very energetic.

The uncle is still as elegant as ever!

He was smiling, and I felt close to him from the bottom of my heart.

Prince... was there a cloud passing by in the sky? Or was it dark again?

Yan Yu stared for a long time, uh, it was dark.

Hiss!

The man who got off the car behind, that man!

Uncle!

Finally I know why my eyelids are twitching.

Her uncle is here!

According to the order of outside first and inside later.

The King of England met General Pan first.

Yan Yu quickly and secretly pulled her father to the side.

"Dad, when the prince came to Beijing, didn't you say that uncle would help the prince to sit in the tiger's nest? Why is uncle here too? Isn't he going to Beijing?"

Yan Yu was terrified.

Now they are in a stalemate with the Xizhou army, and even fighting back and forth. She said without hesitation that her uncle contributed to this.

The King of England is not here, and her uncle is not here either. Only the prince is in charge of the Guanzhou army?

To be honest, she is not sure.

"Your uncle is just a send-off and then goes back." Yan Laoer lowered his voice and said, "In fact, the prince wants to meet the Duke of Anguo before going to Beijing." (End of this chapter)
