In front of Xifengkou.
Yang Xuan and Lan Yu stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, as if neither of them would admit defeat.
The surrounding generals looked at the two men, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.
"General, are you still attacking the city?" One of Lan Yu's adopted sons was also stunned and asked directly.
"Attack the city? Attack the hell!"
"Send an order to the entire army to retreat ten miles and set up camp." Lan Yu said, glaring at the opponent.
"Huh?" The latter was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
Seeing this, Lan Yu got angry and cursed: "What the hell are you doing standing there in a daze? Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Do you want to watch me being tied up?"
"Ah, yes."
Seeing Yang Xuan's expression improve, Lan Yu felt relieved.
He had no doubt that if he continued to order an attack on the city, Yang Xuan would tie him up on the spot.
What happened just now has made me very embarrassed. If I am kidnapped in public, how can I lead troops in the future?
As for a fight with Yang Xuan?
Can't beat it, can't beat it at all!
On the wall of Xifengkou not far away, the guard watched the army retreat and slowly loosened his clenched fists. Only then did he realize that his palms were already covered in sweat.
"Damn it, why am I so unlucky?" He cursed in his heart.
This time, Lan Yu was offended to death.
But if he opened the city gate, he would offend the emperor. Between offending the emperor and offending Lan Yu, he decisively chose the latter.
"Oh, I hope I can get through this safely!"
…
Ten miles away from Xifengkou, the army has camped here.
Chinese military camp.
Lan Yu and Yang Xuan sat opposite each other.
Both of them had a bad look on their faces, and neither of them would admit defeat.
After a long time, Lan Yu was the first to speak: "Are you a special girl, or are you our brother?"
"In front of so many soldiers, you don't even give us any face!"
"How can we lead troops after that?"
It could be heard that Lan Yu was very dissatisfied at the moment, but she knew she couldn't beat Yang Xuan, so she was holding back.
"Face, ha, I would like to ask you, which is more important, your face or your head?"
Yang Xuan snorted coldly and replied.
"Hey, we just want to enter the customs, what's wrong with us?" Lan Yu snorted.
He believed that his contribution was great enough, so he was not afraid at all.
"Huh, right?"
"You humiliated Lord Yuan and Queen Beiyuan. If you were an ordinary person, your head would have fallen off a long time ago."
"If that's the case, then that's it. Your Majesty will see that you have made great achievements this time and won't care about it."
"But you are so crazy that you want to attack your own gate."
"This kind of behavior can already be regarded as treason."
"What will happen no matter how great your achievements are?"
"No emperor can tolerate a rebel."
Yang Xuan peeled off the details and told Lan Yu bit by bit.
The latter showed no concern at first, then gradually became serious, and finally his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Is it...really as serious as you say?" Lan Yu asked in disbelief.
"What do you think?" Yang Xuan gave Lan Yu a roll of his eyes.
"Who is Your Majesty? After all these years, can't you still see clearly?"
"I have already said that your character will bring disaster sooner or later."
"I asked you to be more cautious and humble, but you just didn't listen."
"Okay now, just wait!"
"When the time comes, not only will you lose your head, but your entire clan will also lose their heads."
"Brother, you have to help me!"
"We know you have a good brain, help us come up with ideas quickly." Lan Yu panicked when she heard the consequences of Yang Xuan's words.
He is arrogant and even arrogant, but he is really afraid of Lao Zhu!
"Will you listen to what I say?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Listen, you must listen." Lan Yu said hurriedly.
"real?"
"Really."
Lan Yu looked serious and almost swore to the sky.
"Okay." Seeing this, Yang Xuan nodded.
"First of all, after returning to Beijing, you must apologize to His Majesty as soon as possible."
"Secondly, dismiss all your adopted sons."
"This won't work." Lan Yu immediately became anxious.
Yang Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at Lan Yu.
"Then why can't you tell us?"
"Those adopted sons of ours are very handy, but even on the battlefield, they are life-threatening."
"We have fought so many vicious battles with them." Lan Yu said, her aura much weaker than before.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan spoke: "Don't think about it, you now have thousands of adopted sons, right?"
"These people are all your die-hard loyalists."
"To put it bluntly, they will only follow your orders and don't know what the imperial edict is."
"Besides, they hold important positions in the military."
"If you give an order to rise up, do you think they will respond?"
"We, we have never thought about this!" Lan Yu thought for a moment and broke into a cold sweat.
"It's not a question of whether you want it or not, but you already have the ability to rebel."
"How did Bai Qi die? How did Han Xin die?"
"Did you forget it?"
"For emperors, military power is the most sensitive."
"As a general, you command an army of tens of thousands, and you have thousands of loyal and adopted sons serving you."
"As long as you have this idea, there will be a chaos immediately."
"Your Majesty will not tolerate the appearance of such a person."
"Even if we don't deal with it for the time being, it's just because the time hasn't come yet."
"Sooner or later, I will take action."
“According to His Majesty’s character, you either don’t do it or you do it absolutely.”
"The fate of your entire Lan clan depends on your thoughts."
"Of course, Your Majesty is not afraid of your rebellion."
"It would be nice if they really rebelled. Your Majesty doesn't have to accuse anyone anymore. It would save trouble!"
After listening to Yang Xuan's words, Lan Yu collapsed on the ground.
All this time, he had only thought about fighting, but he never expected that secretly, he would face such a crisis.
"We will listen to you and dissolve all the adopted children after we return." Lan Yu said weakly.
In this way, he can save the lives of his entire family and the lives of his adopted sons.
"It's not enough, you still have to hand over your military power."
"It's best to resign directly."
Yang Xuan continued.
"What?" Lan Yu's expression changed.
"Is this the only way?"
"Unless you want to bring down the whole clan."
"Okay!" Lan Yu suddenly became discouraged, and his whole body's energy and energy collapsed visibly.
Seeing this, Yang Xuan comforted him:
"Actually there's nothing wrong with that."
"You have accomplished what most generals have never accomplished in their lifetimes."
"This battle will definitely go down in history."
"Your blue jade will definitely go down in history."
"Moreover, the credit for destroying Beiyuan this time is enough to keep your Lan family prosperous and wealthy for several generations."
"It's time for you to be content."
"We...get it." Lan Yu said dullly.
Yang Xuan said nothing more.
Now that the words are said, it depends on whether Lan Yu can figure it out.
