Chapter 79 Ancient ([-]) Family Letter

“That dam has always been a waterway that people in the border areas rely on for survival. If it is blown up, the consequences will not only cause countless casualties to the people, but it may even be difficult for the entire area to recover within a few years. It is really a practice of burning the fields and deforestation, killing the goose that lays the eggs! "

Yan Nanxu glanced at Yanjin, who already had a bad look on his face, and said word by word: "Besides, soldiers are supposed to guard the country and the people. We resist foreigners to prevent them from burning, killing and looting the people, but now we let them The soldiers pushed the people to the front and won the so-called victory with their blood, which is putting the cart before the horse!"

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent, Yan Jin didn't say anything, and stood aside with dim eyes.

"Your Highness, do you have any other options?" A minister couldn't stand the oppression and took the initiative to break the silence.

Yan Nanxu saluted and softened his tone, and said: "It is not suitable for our army to take the initiative to attack for the time being. We should recharge our energy first. Foreigners are not good at farming, and the supply of grain and grass will soon come in the off-season. There is only one main road for them to transport grain and grass. Passing through a valley, if they can blow up the road in that valley, their food and grass will be in short supply, and at that time, they will be able to win if they exhaust their resources."

Yan Nanxu's method is indeed feasible, but it is not as effective as Yan Jin's method.

Yan Ze stood up and expressed his opinion at this moment, "Father, I think this method is more secure and more popular among the people."

Many ministers in the court also expressed their support.

At this time, Yanjin finally couldn't stand anymore, and said: "Father, the son's method can only achieve the effect of 'repelling' the foreign race at most. If you want to seriously injure, you still have to..."

The emperor interrupted Yan Jin before he finished speaking, and said in a deep voice: "You were eager for success before, so I didn't say anything. After listening to what the son said, you still dare to insist on your own opinion. 'I completely forgot the two words!"

The emperor stood up suddenly and angrily said: "As a prince, you should be more considerate of the people! You have the ability to deploy strategies, but you don't have any kindness! Go back and copy the "Four Books" five times. Don't come to see me until you finish copying. Got it!"

Yan Jin pursed his lips, lowered his head in response, and retreated to his position without speaking.

In the end, the results of the emergency meeting were basically in accordance with Yan Nanxu's plan, temporarily recharging their strengths, and sending a group of teams to secretly explore the valley where grain and grass were transported, and find a suitable place to place explosives.

The specific strategy will be planned by the Ministry of War and sent to the front line.

The court meeting was dissolved, and everyone went home one after another.

Before Yan Nanxu left, he met Yan Ze, who offered to salute Yan Nanxu.

"On behalf of the people on the frontier, I would like to thank my son first."

If it wasn't for Yan Nanxu's ingenious argument this time, the outcome is still unknown.

"Your Majesty, the Third Highness, is serious. There is nothing wrong with it."

The two briefly chatted for a few more words. Yan Nanxu heard that Yanze was interested in making friends, so he made an excuse and left first. His attitude had always been neutral and it was not appropriate to have too much communication with Yanze.

When he was about to leave the palace, Yan Nanxu saw Yanjin at the entrance of the palace. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, as if he was waiting for someone.

Yan Nanxu didn't want to say anything to him, and was about to leave, but Yan Jin behind him suddenly said: "His Royal Highness is really hard to find, I wonder if I have time to talk today?"

"Unfortunately, I have something else to do, let's go another day."

After Yan Nanxu finished speaking, he left, but before he could take two steps, Yan Jin's voice came again.

"Yan Nanxu, do you have to ruin my business?"

The tone of voice was unusually cold, almost gnashing one's teeth.

Yan Nanxu paused, turned his eyes slightly to meet Yan Jin's gaze, and said coldly: "You and I are just offering opinions in the court. Why did His Royal Highness say this? But at the same time, I also advise His Royal Highness to do more. It’s better to be on the right track.”

Yan Nanxu left this sentence and walked away without looking back.

"Host, we won't offend the protagonist, right?" the system couldn't help but said on the way back.

"I didn't want to offend him. I just wanted to save the life of that city. The iron and blood methods are not for him to use like that."

What Yan Jin did was too cold-blooded.

Back at the house, a servant came over quickly and said that the King of Southern Sichuan had sent a letter to the Crown Prince and asked the Crown Prince to accept it and read it.

The King of Southern Sichuan is at the front line of the border at the moment. This letter was probably sent together with the battle report, and it was sent to Yan Nanxu alone as a family letter.

Yan Nanxu didn't have much impression of this "father". He had only met him once after time travelling. To be honest, the King of Southern Sichuan was quite incompetent as a father. He didn't care much about leaving the two children in the capital. Send a letter back.

The letters usually contained some trivial matters, and sometimes gave Yan Nanxu a few words of advice, but rarely mentioned Yan Yousi. His feelings for this younger son, King Sichuan Nan, had always been complicated.

This time the letter reported safety. Although the foreign tribe broke through a city, the people in that city evacuated in time. Fortunately, there were not many casualties.

The King of Southern Sichuan has been living on the border all year round since the death of the princess. It is his second home there, and he loves the people on the border the most. Yan Nanxu often reads the letters he writes describing the things of the people on the border, more or less. He has some affinity with the people there, which is why he so decisively rejected Yanjin's strategy in the court today.

Yan Nanxu put down the letter and was about to put it away when he caught a glimpse of Yan Yousi who was secretly hiding at the door.

Yan Yousi knew that his father had sent a letter, but he also knew that his father's letter was always given to his elder brother. He shouldn't read it. Children are still very sensitive. He knew that his father didn't seem to like him, but he couldn't help but want to find out Father's news.

"Yousi, what are you doing hiding there? Come in."

When Yan Yousi was discovered, he was startled and walked over slowly.

Yan Nanxu pulled his younger brother to his side, opened the letter again, and slowly read the contents of the letter.

Yan Yousi heard his father's letter for the first time, his eyes sparkled, and at the end of the reading, the content was exhausted, but Yan Nanxu added another sentence, "Si'er is young, and I can't get away at the border. Take care."

Hearing this sentence, Yan Yousi was obviously more excited, took his brother's hand and said in surprise, "Did father mention me?"

Yan Nanxu smiled and said, "Of course, I mentioned it often before."

Yan Yousi said happily: "Father, father is also very powerful, he is a great general, super powerful!"

Children always subconsciously have a kind of admiration for their fathers.

Yan Nanxu understood this kind of feeling very well, touched his younger brother's head, and said affirmatively: "Yes, my father is very powerful, and I also like to be thoughtful."

"What about the mother? What does the mother look like?" Yan Yousi blurted out, and when she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and immediately covered her mouth when her expression changed.

In the mansion, the King of South Sichuan did not allow anyone to mention the late princess, which also made Yan Yousi have no understanding of his mother.

Yan Nanxu sighed in his heart, knelt down and said to Yan Yousiwen, "She is a very gentle mother, and she is also the person who loves you the most in this world."

Yan Nanxu has never met the princess, but he feels that most mothers in the world are like this...just like his own mother.

Yan Yousi looked at her brother for a moment, then suddenly reached out and hugged him, sniffed, and said softly: "Brother loves me too. I have the best brother in the world."

The dead mother and estranged father can't give Yan Yousi too much affection in the end. The most important thing for him now is his elder brother who is always by his side.

Yan Nanxu didn't say anything, and patted his younger brother lightly.
