Chapter 100: The Seventh Highness Arrives
Chapter 100: The Arrival of the Seven Highnesses (2-in-1)
This kind of thing is easy to happen in this world, and in the same way, most of the martial artists have a disdain for the existence that has the same dazzling light as themselves, which is very logical, but it is not a certainty.
There are many people who complement each other or sympathize with each other.
Now, that's how the other party feels to Xu Yan, don't look at it, this Luo Xiaohan does give people a feeling of arrogance, but, all the time, such a situation still exists, Xu Yan clearly read the goodwill from his eyes.
Similarly, the other party also read the same feelings in Xu Yan's eyes.
For people like them, sometimes the eye edge is very inexplicable, and it can even be said that there is no reason, but even so, what can it be?
In his eyes, these don't matter, what about those who really like the eye to make friends, and what about those who don't like the eyes to be directly hostile?
In any case, he is not a so-called superior now, and he doesn't have to wronged himself for the sake of some overall situation or something, which is enough, and it can also make him understand these truths in his heart.
In fact, Xu Yan himself knows very well in his heart that he can't last long, and after returning to the capital, there will be no such possibility, but he still cherishes this feeling.
"Why is Brother Luo here?" After all, Xu Yan, who stepped forward, began to ask, no matter what, he should have gone to visit the young man's father first, but he didn't think that as soon as Luo Xiaohan appeared, the whole taste of this place changed.
Xu Yan doesn't think that an existence like Dingyang Hou will need to stammer himself, let alone himself, even if he is the prince in the future, he will not need to stutter, not stutter, so why would he send his most outstanding son to greet him at the first moment he appeared in this city?
This is not like the style of the so-called Hou Ye, especially such a feudal official with great achievements, which makes Xu Yan a little confused.
"My father also knows a little about the decisions you made on the frontier, so he wanted to meet you, so naturally, he sent me to greet you. Luo Xiaohan didn't shirk at all, and directly said these words clearly.
In any case, at this time, there is no need to hide anything, not to mention, his father is already very interested in such a strategic genius, everyone is a member of the military system, Xu Yan came to him, naturally he wanted to meet, and even discussed.
Xu Yan, who hadn't figured it out yet, suddenly understood a lot of things.
Indeed, where in the frontier, it is impossible not to spread the things that you have done to the ears of this Dingyang Hou.
After all, many times, what the current army wants is strength, strong strength and cultivation that makes you desperate, even if you really use tactics to shine in the war, or even control a war, in the eyes of many people, it is still crooked, and it is not of much use at all.
Just imagine, a group of Jindan monks really came to besiege your Naning City. What's the use of having the power you have? It's completely useless, and it's the same with the use of strategy.
However, it is not at all the same thing between smart people and smart people.
The so-called tactics are not effective in the face of an extreme disparity in strength.
However, when both parties are equal, or even several times as much as you, can play a key role.
This was something that the entire Great Qin, and even the human world, had ignored in the past, and in their eyes, strength was the key to true victory.
Suddenly, another person suddenly jumped out and defeated the enemy with stratagems, perhaps, many times, those generals could only scoff at it, because they themselves were the existence of worshipping power and cultivating.
But this does not include the results created by Xu Yan this time.
In the eyes of those who truly understand the existence of war, such a result is a miracle, a miracle created by employing people themselves.
Once you join the ranks of soldiers, every time you see such a miracle, you will think about it from the bottom of your heart.
Obviously, this Marquis Yang is not the kind of wine bag and rice bag, so he naturally sees through what role Xu Yan's tactics have played this time.
Under such a premise, it is very logical to come to find Xu Yan.
It is not impossible to even start attaching importance to tactics and strategies, after all, this time Xu Yan's strategy really played a decisive role.
It is still impossible to turn defeat into victory under the premise that it is extremely unlikely to succeed, and for this alone, then Yang Hou will definitely find Xu Yan as soon as possible and have a good chat with him.
Thinking about this, Xu Yan suddenly had some expectations for Nading Yang Hou.
In his eyes, such a situation is definitely an opportunity for himself, not only for himself, but also for the entire Great Qin.
Indeed, in the face of absolute strength, the tactics of war, the so-called stratagem, these will be clumsy, but do you really have absolute strength in these years?
Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the countless battles around them have carved the generals into their bones, have they really seen the so-called absolute strength?
Tactics and stratagems, will they really be useless?
Xu Yan believes that once this method is popularized in the army little by little, the final result will definitely be that this Great Qin is tyrant in the surrounding area, even in a powerful empire, as long as there is no disturbance in the Yipin Empire, then it can be regarded as nothing.
At that time, could it be that there would be no room for development in Great Qin? If Taoguang was obscure for a period of time, even if it was against the Yipin Empire, would it be difficult to achieve it and really have no chance of winning?
When you really start to dominate one side, whether it is resources or others, there will be countless more than the current Great Qin, at that time, will there really be no so-called Yuan Infant in Great Qin, or even stronger powerhouses?
Obviously, as long as there are sufficient resources, these so-called problems will become unproblematic, and there will be such a big gap between people and people? In fact, the reason why there are strong countries, weak countries, and even so-called nominal rulers is because of the unequal distribution of words.
Naturally, you can only make your empire really strong and plunder the so-called resources, so that your empire will become stronger and stronger, and in the middle, the strategy and method of the army will really become the most important thing.
And now, if Xu Yan says these words, it is estimated that most of them will attract bursts of ridicule, but if he really meets someone who understands him, this is completely different, and it is very likely that he will create a real powerhouse.
"Since Brother Xu, you also want to pay respects, then come with me to the City Lord's Mansion! Between us, how can we need to be formal?" Although Luo Xiaohan did not show any admiration for Xu Yan, it was still very rare for such a very arrogant person to be able to put Xu Yan in a position equal or even higher than himself.
In his words, 'serve only those who are able.'"
And now Xu Yan happens to be the kind of person in his mouth, an existence that really turns the tide of a battle with his own strength.
"Brother Xu, I have always longed for the battlefield, and I think that people like me can only really find themselves on the battlefield, but my father has always been reluctant to let me go to the battlefield, and even forbade me to go to the frontier, and I don't know what the real battlefield is like, can you tell me about it?" On the way, Luo Xiaohan showed a childlike side.
In any case, he was not yet sixteen years old, and in many cases, his mind was not yet mature.
Because Dingyang Hou wants him to inherit his mantle, he has always been very fond of this son, although Luo Xiaohan is not so stubborn, but his heart is somewhat naïve.
For example, now, when he heard this sentence in Xu Yan's ears, he was suddenly stunned, and even had a feeling that he didn't know how to think about it.
In fact, Luo Xiaohan is not to blame, who doesn't want to go to the battlefield to see what is going on if he has never been on the battlefield, but he is from a military family?
However, after actually going, how many people can withstand the extreme cruelty of that battlefield?
Jianghu, this is a good place to hone, there are dead people, there are intrigues, but compared with the real war, the battlefield is a small thing.
There is no comparison at all, when you really see the scene of corpses all over the mountains, how many people who go to the battlefield for the first time can restrain their emotions?
The reason why Dingyang Hou did not let his son go to the battlefield is probably a kind of protection for him.
At least, after Luo Xiaohan's heart is fully mature, he can let him go to hone it, and only in this way can he rest assured that Ding Yang Hou can be a little relieved, right?
"Believe me, if you do go, at least, you'll regret it now. Xu Yan smiled.
No one longs for war, for a place where corpses are strewn with corpses.
Even Xu Yan is like this, but the development of human beings, or the development of every living being, is a bloody history.
When you are thrown into the torrent of history, you can't help it.
No matter how much you hate war, you have to participate, this is the cruelty of human nature, if you don't climb up, you can only retreat step by step, until you can't retreat.
That's because of this, no matter how much it exists, in the end, it still chooses such a cruel place.
Because many times these wars are not just about self-preservation, but also about survival.
"Don't want to go?" Luo Xiaohan clearly didn't understand the helplessness in Xu Yan's eyes.
Said in disbelief.
"Where, at least until you're sixteen, doesn't suit you. Believe me, when you really go to where you go, you will be able to understand how cruel this war, the army, is. Xu Yan said very seriously.
If he could, he wouldn't want to go down this path.
However, now it seems that even if he returns to the capital, he can only start from the aspect of war, which is the only thing he can get his hands on, and it is also his real advantage now.
If not, how can he fight with his brothers?
The cruelty here is difficult for outsiders to understand, the day before, this existence was still chatting with you and farting, and the next day there were no corpses, this kind of thing is simply too much, and it can be said that you completely subvert your cognition.
It is such a cruel place that can grind a person's heart harder than steel.
Xu Yan knew that it was impossible for him to escape such fate, but in many cases, he still thought about that kind of naïve life more.
Just like in his previous life, he clearly had the opportunity to protect himself, and even had the opportunity to become a real person with great power, but because he wanted to be naïve, he gave up those things.
Until this life, he wants to fight, but how many people can understand the cost of this?
At least, the pressure in his heart is much greater than in his previous life.
When a few people arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they found that this Dingyang Marquis was much poorer than they imagined.
Xu Yan didn't say anything about it in the capital, even if he heard about it, he had heard of how prominent and powerful many dignitaries were.
However, this Ding Yang Hou himself is completely different, a city lord's mansion is actually the oldest building in this Yanzhou City, not to mention dilapidated, but at least it is not luxurious at all.
It gives people a very unimaginable feeling, is this the marquis who is directly rewarded by the imperial court, okay? If it is placed in the capital, this must be a pillar-like existence, and the cultivation of the half-step Yuanying is one of the most powerful groups of people in the entire Great Qin, but such an existence lives in such a place, which makes Xu Yan more or less impressed.
After all, the current Great Qin, military merits dare not be said to be everything, but at least they are all a kind of upward channel, it can be said that with military merits, to be a supreme minister, in this Great Qin, it is not too out of line.
And Dingyang Hou, who has such military merits but is still so low-key, is obviously an outlier in many cases, an outlier who may have been targeted by many people in the military system.
Just by looking at it, Xu Yan saw a lot of things that made Yang Hou different from others.
For example, there are almost no women in the people up and down this mansion, most of them are disabled soldiers with broken arms and legs, and this alone made Xu Yan admire it for a while.
"Who is this?" and saw Xu Yan and Na Luo Xiaohan come in together.
At the first time, a man who was missing an arm and was like a housekeeper walked over enthusiastically.
Looking closely, this old man is not only missing his arm, but even the entire right side of his face is full of scars, and the overall feeling is very twilight, but invisibly, it gives Xu Yan a feeling of intimidation.
This is an absolute pawn on the battlefield, even if you can see the spiritual power of Peng Bai on his body even at a glance.
The cultivation may not be very high, but the kind of iron blood and killing aura on the body are emerging from the inside out.
For the first time, Xu Yan showed three points of longing, and bent over to him without pretentiousness, and said, "Junior Xu Yan, meet the senior." ”
This respect does not come from his status, not from his strength, but just a soldier's respect for this veteran on the battlefield.
"Your Highness the Seventh, you must not do this, but this is a torment of the old slave. The old man hurriedly stepped forward and didn't let Xu Yan bend down.
But the relief on his face was not fake.
Regardless of whether Xu Yan is sincere or not, showing such a posture at this time is already enough to comfort the hearts of these old soldiers.
This shows that neither Daqin, his master, nor the royal family have forgotten them, even if they can't remember them in ordinary times, but once they see them, they can be respected.
This is not in vain for these soldiers, old soldiers, who used to work hard for the country, for the Great Qin and the royal family, isn't it?
Xu Yan also sighed with emotion in his heart, if there were no these old soldiers, the Great Qin back then would definitely not be as strong as it is now, even if this is more or less a bit of a strong and dry taste in it, but now the Great Qin is a hegemon in the surrounding area, but it is also without moisture.
As a prince, he knows all this, and before there is no better way to comfort the minds of some old soldiers, it is very necessary for him to lower his posture, and it is also a manifestation of his true respect for them from the bottom of his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh has arrived. After some greetings, the old man suddenly said in his throat.
At that moment, those masters in this courtyard emerged one by one.
Facing Xu Yan is respectful salute.
And because of Xu Yan's actions before, the current group of people are all very sincere, no matter where Xu Yan can go in the future, at least, in the hearts of these people, this is a person who cares about them very much, and he is a very qualified superior.
"Virtuous nephew, I can be regarded as looking forward to you, you don't know, your Uncle Xu wanted to invite you to the house when you finished handling all the things over there, but he didn't look for you for fear of delaying your affairs. A woman hurried out of it.
Obviously, this is Mrs. Hou.
Outside, Luo Xiaohan, the heir of the Luo family, greeted her, and now she is the mother of the Luo family.
This kind of etiquette is indeed very strong, so much so that even Xu Yan himself feels a little flattered.
If it weren't for such an occasion, he might not even know what this is.
However, as soon as he thought about it, he thought about it a lot more clearly, Marquis Luo was a person who cherished his talents very much, and at this time, when he saw a capable royal disciple, if he didn't pay attention to it, it would be really strange.
