Zong Tianxuan said: "The prince has already said, in fact, if the fleet had not arrived at the Dengzhou beach in time at that time, this expeditionary force would have been wiped out, and it would be difficult for Brother Yang to come back if he didn't come back." Therefore, I thought that Brother Yang's so-called expedition victory this time was actually just a fluke success, and there was no miracle at all. He turned his head to Yang Yan and smiled: "I said bluntly, please don't be surprised by Brother Yang." ”

After his words were finished, the celebrities who were listening to their conversation outside the pavilion talked for a while, and some of them gave up and Yang Yan disdainful. Because Yang Yan's current fame was created in the first battle of the expedition to Heiyang Mountain. The exploits in Quang Nam have not yet spread, and they are far less legendary than the expeditions. If according to what Zong Tianxuan said, then the expedition to Heiyang Mountain was just a fluke victory, and the blow to Yang Yan was naturally self-evident. However, what Zong Tianxuan said was not completely unreasonable, after all, when he set off on the expedition, it was 7,000 men and horses, and in the end, there were only more than 2,000 people left, and even Yang Yan himself admitted that the battle on the coast of Dengzhou was the defeat of the Song army. Even Ye Muxue found this difficult to refute. However, everyone was waiting for Yang Yan's answer. Only Guangyan was outside the pavilion, smiling silently.

At this time, Yang Yan spoke: "Listening to the sect brother's high opinion, it is really beneficial for the subordinates. In terms of clan brothers, it is comparable to Zhao Kuo during the Warring States Period and Ma Jian during the Three Kingdoms period, and I admire it below. ”

Yang Yan was not the one who was slow to react, and he didn't know that Zong Tianxuan was deliberately targeting him. Although Yang Yan didn't know why he did this, he wouldn't swallow his voice, and he would never be polite to Zong Tianxuan. As soon as he said this, it immediately caused another round of discussion. Zhao Kuo and Ma Tan are both famous people in history. Compared with Yang Yan's and Zong Tianxuan, the meaning is naturally self-evident.

Sure enough, Zong Tianxuan's face also changed, and he said, "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this." ”

Yang Yan said lightly: "But I think the sect brother is still smarter than Zhao Kuo and Ma Yan." At least Zhao Kuo and Ma Jian can't say stupid things like 'chess is like using soldiers, and chessboard is like a battlefield'. ”

This time, even Zhao Kai's face was unnatural. looked at Yang Yan and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Yang Yan said: "I don't know if the two of you have been on the real battlefield." ”

Zong Tianxuan said coldly: "What if you have been on it, what if you haven't been on it." ”

Yang Yan said: "If people who have really been on the battlefield would not have said such ignorant words. The battlefield is a place where you live and die, not sitting on your knees, laughing and talking; It's not even a high-minded talk, a striking. He stood up, looked around at everyone present, and said, "Let me tell you what the real battlefield is all about." ”

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Yang Yan, and Yang Yan said: "The real battlefield is a place that is more cruel than hell, where there is only life and death, and there is no room for negotiation. Death is experienced at every moment, every moment. Maybe you look back at your robes, friends, and relatives falling one by one, but you don't have time to grieve, because your life is in jeopardy. In order to survive on the battlefield, you'll have to kill every enemy over and over again. Even if their blood is splashed all over you, even if they cry out and beg you for a favor, you can't be soft. Because as long as you are a little soft-hearted, the next person to fall is yourself. In such a situation, who can think about playing chess and discussing Taoism. ”

The people outside the pavilion listened to Yang Yan's words, and everyone thought about what Yang Yan said, and as a result, most of the people's faces turned a little pale.

Yang Yan continued: "Although you are all in the Water Pattern Garden now, you should think about it according to what I said. We are now all on the battlefield, and now there are corpses all over the field, some of them have no heads, some have been pierced by swords, some have been opened and their stomachs have been opened, and all the stolen goods and six bellies have flowed out, and there is blood all over the ground, and there is only the smell of blood in the air. ”

Although everyone present was unwilling, they couldn't help but think about it. All of a sudden, some people's legs were shaking. Others bent down and covered their mouths.

Yang Yan suddenly pointed to a scribe who was holding a wine glass and said, "This gentleman, think about it, now what you are holding in your hand is not a wine glass, but a half-amputated arm, and there are still white bones exposed, and the person who was cut off is still screaming in front of you." ”

The scribe's hands trembled with fright, and with a "dang" sound, the glass fell to the ground and shattered.

Yang Yan turned his face and said to a maid dressed in red and holding a food box in her hand: "This girl, if you are holding a food box in your hand, but a bloody human head......

Before he finished his words, the girl in the community screamed in fright, and as soon as her hand was released, the food box fell to the ground, and the snacks and fruits were scattered all over the ground. Screamed, "Don't say it." As he spoke, he leaned on the shoulder of the other waiter, covering his mouth and retching. Several other ladies were also pale and crumbling. For fear that Yang Yan would make a comparison with himself again, he didn't even dare to look at Yang Yan.

Yang Yantan smiled lightly and said, "I scared everyone, it's my fault." But that's just a metaphor, you haven't been on a real battlefield yet. ”

At this time, Ye Muxue got up and said: "This Muxue can testify, I have seen the real battlefield with my own eyes in the First Battle of Guangzhou, and what Brother Yang said is not too much at all." ”

Yang Yancai turned around, faced Zong Tianxuan and Zhao Kai, and said, "The real battlefield is not to sit in this pavilion and play chess. Fighting a war and playing chess may seem like some of the same thing, but they are definitely not the same thing. Not only cruel, but ever-changing. Neither your soldiers nor your enemies will be like pawns to fiddle with you. No one can predict with complete accuracy in advance everything that will happen on the battlefield. Nor can anyone fully understand the enemy's mentality and purpose. This kind of thing can only be done on paper. ”

Zong Tianxuan (Se Se wrenched his face, but couldn't say a word.) The expression on Zhao Kai's face was no better. However, although both of them were unconvinced, they could not refute what Yang Yan said. Because Yang Yan didn't entangle with the two of them in the strategy of the expedition just now, and directly attacked the Achilles heel of the two. The two of them had never been on the battlefield at all, and they didn't know what the battlefield was all about, so what qualifications did they have to meet Yang Yan to discuss the strategy of the expedition?

At this time, he clasped his fists with both hands, waved at the two of them, and said: "As the so-called 'Tao is different, it is not conspiratory', and there is nothing to talk about with the two of you. Farewell. After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and the people outside naturally made way for him and walked away.

Guangyan also bowed to Zhao Kaishen and said, "Lord Wang, the poor monk has also retired." Then he turned around and chased after Yang Yan.

When the two of them walked to the gate of the garden, they suddenly heard someone behind them: "Two of you stay." ”

Yang Yan looked back, and it turned out to be Ye Muxue floating here. Yang Yan said lightly: "I don't know what else Miss Ye has to teach?" ”

Ye Muxue smiled and said, "Brother Yang, I didn't expect that you are not only good at using soldiers, but also have such sharp words. However, it was Senior Brother Zong who offended you just now, but it has nothing to do with me. Why did you do this to me? ”

Yang Yan felt a pang in his heart, and he also knew that he had gone too far, so he rushed to Ye Muxue to help him in Guangzhou, and he shouldn't have come to her. And judging from the words just now, Ye Muxue is actually still helping herself speak. After all, she is a fellow disciple, and it is not easy for her to do this. said apologetically: "It's me who didn't speak well, and I ask Miss Ye to forgive me." However, when the sect brother spoke just now, it was inevitably too much, and in the next moment, he was not angry, so he quibbled a few words, and asked Miss Ye to tell the sect brother and teach him not to be surprised. ”

Ye Muxue smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's okay for Brother Yang to refute him, Senior Brother Zong has always been above the sky in the sect, and he has always regarded the world as nothing. This time, Brother Yang just taught him to know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. lest he be arrogant in Yelang. However, Mu Xue chased Brother Yang, not to say this, but to ask Brother Yang for help. ”

Yang Yan said: "Miss Ye has something to say, as long as I can do it, I will never postpone it." ”

Ye Muxue said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I heard that when Brother Yang chose to conquer Heiyang Mountain, Princess Yong'an and Princess Yongning also traveled with the army, and they also made great achievements. After returning to Lin'an, they also formed an all-female Surprise Yan army. It seems that this Princess Yongning still has a marriage contract with Brother Yang. ”

Yang Yan didn't know what Ye Muxue was asking for, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, what is Miss Ye asking for?" ”

Ye Muxue said: "Muxue admires these two princesses very much and very much hopes to meet them. However, when I first came to Lin'an, I didn't have any acquaintances to introduce me, although Senior Brother Zong knew a lot of people, but after all, he was a man, so I was afraid that it would be inconvenient. Only Brother Yang's identity is convenient, I don't know if Brother Yang can arrange for Mu Xue to meet these two princesses. ”

When Yang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that Ye Muxue was looking for herself for this. However, Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru's formation of the Shocking Yan Army was indeed a bit shocking. Ye Muxue wanted to see them, and it was fateful to see them. This is not a difficult matter, in a few days, I will go to Zhao Qianru to get the recital she wrote for herself, and it will be a matter of effort to talk about it at that time. So he said, "Okay, I will definitely convey this matter for Miss Ye." ”
