After all, the Langguans were well trained. After a moment of panic, they reacted and quickly formed a round formation. Under the cover of the two Langguans, Qin Ge held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and advanced with all his strength. The remaining Langguans raised their bows and fought back under the cover of the Liang family's army, and Pang Shuo led the two people to break the back.

Their idea was very good, but they found a big problem after taking a few steps.

The forest is full of trees and the gaps are very small. Most places can only accommodate one or two people, and narrow places can only pass by one. The circular array they formed cannot pass through at all, and the thick trees blocked the way.

"Change the formation, change the formation!" Qin Ge shouted loudly as he sweated like rain. He saw two South Vietnamese soldiers jumping down from the tree and immediately rushed over, trying to capture the two South Vietnamese soldiers alive. He rushed over, but the Langguan, who was responsible for covering him, was stopped by the tree and was slowed down. His flank was exposed, and then several feather arrows flew to him, one of them hit his thigh.

Qin Ge groaned, his steps stopped and almost fell to the ground.

After a moment of silence, another man was shot in an arrow, but fortunately he was blocked by the armor and was not injured. Despite this, they were still careful and gathered together back to back, for fear of being attacked again.

The laughter of people from Yue people came from afar, mixed with birds that they couldn't understand. However, from their tone, they could guess what these Yue people were saying. The men and women were red and panting, and sweat flowed down like a waterfall, half hot and half shameful.

They boasted of themselves as elites, thinking that they could overcome any difficulties, and did not take these dark and thin South Vietnamese soldiers seriously. But now when the two sides fought, they realized how ignorant they were. The jungle of South Vietnam was like a quagmire, trapping them inside and leaving them.

They are used to forming formations and fighting, and once they have no formation protection, their combat power will be greatly damaged. However, they cannot form formations in the jungle.

"What should I do?" Qin Ge gasped and asked in a low voice: "If you drag it on, we will definitely lose."

"Scatter and run in different directions. Everyone covers the fastest running one." A man said gritting his teeth: "If you are injured, you can't let these monkeys win."

Qin Ge thought about it, shook his head, and rejected the plan. "No. Have you forgotten? Liang Junhou said, don't care about temporary gains and losses, pay attention to the other party's tactics. The forest is narrow and the formation cannot be set open. We form a small array of two or three people to cover each other, and maybe we can be more flexible."

"It's reasonable!" The men and women didn't say much, and immediately dispersed according to Qin Ge's suggestion. Two or three people formed a small formation, covered each other, and killed the enemy closest to them.

The formation dispersed, and their actions suddenly became much faster. The Nanyue people were also very surprised. Someone rushed out from behind the tree and met with the Langguan. The Langguans were very happy and shouted to advance. The Nanyue people fought and retreated, retreated deep into the woods. The Langguans chased each other reluctantly, swung their swords and slashed, but found that the long sword could not be used and was often blocked by crisscrossing branches. They could only stab, not chop, and their power was greatly reduced.

However, the people of Nanyue walked lightly and used the big trees around them as a cover to move forward and retreat quickly. They were flexible and changeable.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

Liang Xiao sat on the mountain, crossing his legs. A middle-aged South Vietnamese soldier with a long appearance walked slowly up the ridge, swept the gold on the table into his arms, and smiled. Liang Xiao raised his left eyebrow and praised: "There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals. General Zhao, your subordinates are indeed extraordinary, so they deserve the word "elite."

Zhao Guang laughed loudly, his face full of lust. He glared at Nash and shouted in a hypocritical manner: "I have not thanked Liang Junhou. If his subordinates hadn't stopped their relationship, how could you win so easily?

The middle-aged soldier bowed to Liang Xiao and said, "Thank you, marquis."

"It's okay." Liang Xiao waved his hand. "I can afford to lose just ten golds. However, General Zhao, I'm just lucky if you win today. In two days, I will win back."

Zhao Guang was in a good mood and nodded repeatedly. "I, Zhao Guang, are always waiting for you to give me advice."

"Okay, okay." Liang Xiao stood up, looking a little disappointed. "Come on, General Zhao, I lost today. Please accompany me around, take a look at the scenery, relax, and come back to clean up these useless things."

Zhao Guang stood up and accompanied Liang Xiao to stroll nearby and enjoy the scenery.

Not long after, the soldiers in charge of intercepting the Nanyue soldiers retreated to the ridge. They looked relaxed and looked gloomy. They smiled knowingly at the empty tables. Ten gold is not a small amount of money. It is a surprise to everyone, and this money comes so easily.

After a while, Qin Ge and others also returned to the ridge. Although they tried their best to make themselves look decent, their depressed faces and heavy steps all exposed their frustration at this moment. They took off their helmets and held them under their armpits, lowered their heads, stood aside, waiting to be criticized. There was almost no strong confrontation, and they lost the game. It was really embarrassing to the house.

If this news reaches Chang'an, what will they see in the future?

Qin Ge exchanged a look with the men and came to Liang Xiao. Seeing them coming, Zhao Guang, who was explaining the scenery for Liang Xiao, smiled slightly and bowed. Qin Ge walked to Liang Xiao, bowed and bowed, and opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

Liang Xiao glanced at them. "Did you lose?"

All the officials lowered their heads, and Qin Ge's voice was like a mosquito, unrecognizable. "I lost."

"Are you convinced?"

Qin Ge was stunned for a moment and scratched his head. "I don't agree."

"Don't accept it?" Liang Xiao chuckled: "Okay, then you guys go and reflect on it. When will you feel confident? I will give you another chance to earn back the lost face."

"Okay!" Qin Ge did not hesitate anymore this time and agreed immediately. The men raised their heads and their eyes were hot.

Yan An traveled day and night, rushed to Yuzhang and met Wang Hui.

Wang Hui was busy in Liang Xiao's vegetable fields. The emperor gave Liang Xiao a hundred hectares of vegetable fields. Liang Xiao also brought a lot of seeds, but before he could arrange them, he was sent to Nanyue. Wang Hui was in Yuzhang and had nothing to do, so he took Liang Xiao's vegetable fields and took the Qinweiying camp to work in the vegetable fields every day. Now some new dishes have just been on the market. He tastes them every day and lives a little bit.

When he saw Yan An, he was very surprised. "Yan Jun, why are you back?"

Yan An smiled and handed the letter from the emperor. Wang Hui did not dare to be negligent. He quickly washed his hands in the canal next to him, and then took it respectfully and read it carefully. After reading it, his face turned gloomy and he was very unhappy.

The emperor rejected his proposal and asked him to prepare for marching into Nanyue immediately, and asked Yan An to go on a mission to Nanyue again. Although the emperor did not say which Yan An or Liang Xiao was the righteous envoy, looking at Yan An's expression, it was obvious that Yan An would be the righteous envoy. When Yan An passed by Yuzhang, Liang Xiao treated him, Wang Hui felt that Yan An was too much. Not only that, the emperor was also too heartless.

Is it not kind enough for Liang Xiao to deprive Liang Xiao of his official status? No matter what, Liang Xiao is a champion with a title and a military achievements after all, and Yan An is just a scholar who is a polite person.

"The weather is hot, so it is probably not appropriate to go out at this time." Wang Hui put away the emperor's handwritten letter and carefully put it in his arms. No matter how he had any objections to the emperor, he did not dare to disrespect the emperor's handwritten letter.

"Your Majesty did not make any rigid regulations when to go to war. This is also the reason why Your Majesty gave you a handwritten letter, not a formal edict." Yan An smiled. "Your Majesty has great trust in you."

Wang Hui grinned without saying a word.

Yan An was prepared and was not in a hurry. He said slowly: "Da Xingling must have known about the flood in Dongjun?"

Wang Hui nodded.

"There is a natural disaster and people are in panic. Your Majesty needs a victory to inspire people. The great order is made. Your Majesty hopes that you and the Censor will share the worries of the court. You cannot let Your Majesty down."

Wang Hui turned his head and stared at Yan An, his expression loosened a little. He could understand Yan An's meaning. He knew that this was not something he could stop. However, he still felt that it was not the best way to advance immediately. He was from Yan and lived in Chang'an for many years and felt that Chang'an was hot enough. Now that he came to Yuzhang, he realized that the heat in Chang'an was not enough.

In such weather, there is probably no need to fight. There will be a large number of strokes and heat strokes.

"Jun Yan, you are a scholar. You should know why the ancients regarded the Spring and Autumn Period as their history." Wang Hui raised his sleeves, suffused the wind, and looked at Yan An's slightly messy collar. "You probably don't know what it feels like to wear a battle robe and then put on a battle armor in such weather."

Yan An still smiled. "Although I didn't come to the formation, I also knew that fighting in such weather was indeed not easy. However, it is precisely because it is not easy that I have the opportunity to win unexpectedly. The great order, extraordinary achievements, must be with extraordinary people."

Wang Hui curled his lips and his face calmed down. Yan An secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He knew that Wang Hui was eager to make contributions, and he could not be moved in the face of such a great achievement. Yan An encouraged his tongue and said the reasons he said to the emperor again until he was moved by Wang Hui, as if Nanyue was at his fingertips.

The two of them were talking speculatively and parted with joy. Wang Hui actively prepared for the war, while Yan An rushed to Nanyue.

Next to the river, Liang Xiao stood on an unknown ridge, holding his eyes wide open, watching Qin Ge and others running in the mountains and forests, interspersed.

Knowing shame only makes one brave. The men and women were easily defeated by Zhao Guang's subordinates. Their original arrogance was gone, and they all held their breath to defeat the people of the South Vietnamese to avenge their previous shame. There was no need for Liang Xiao to say anything else. After reflecting on the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, they began to train troops.

In response to the problem of not being familiar with the jungle, they wake up every morning and run on the ridge, go uphill and downhill, cross mountains and forests, and are familiar with the rugged terrain.

In response to the inconvenience of formation in the jungle, they turned the large array into a small array with two or three people, and practiced in the woods whenever they had free time.

In order to solve the disadvantage of being too heavy and being too thick, they learned from the soldiers of Nanyue to wear bamboo armor and wooden boards.

In order to solve the problem that the spear and eptuagint are not suitable for the jungle environment, they switched to small shields and short swords.

After more than ten days of hard training, they have made great progress. At least they no longer seem so clumsy and run wildly. Whether they are attacking forward or retreating backward, they can act simultaneously with each other without leaving too many flaws.

He is worthy of being a well-trained Langguan. Whether in terms of physical or psychological qualities, they are much better than ordinary soldiers and make rapid progress. Even Liang Xiao was surprised that at least the Liang family's personal guard team could not reach this level.

When the Langguans were practicing hard, Liang Xiao was not idle either. He asked Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo and others to practice with Langguan to actually verify the key points of the jungle battle taught by Huan Yuan. He asked their training results every day to discuss gains and losses. If he was not afraid of Zhao Guang being suspicious, he would have participated in these exercises in person.

Of course, he put in a lot of effort behind his back.

Liang Xiao put down his eyes and thought about looking for Zhao Guang to compete again before entering Panyu. He knew that Zhao Guang had been training the officials and should also want to verify the level of officials. How to verify the progress of officials without making Zhao Guang suspicious. This degree must be mastered well.

While Liang Xiao was thinking, Zhao Guang walked up from the ridge with a few personal guards. Liang Xiao was a little surprised. Zhao Guang took the initiative to find him. He gave Qianliyan to Xiya, met him, bowed and smiled, "General Zhao, why do you have such a good mood?"

Zhao Guang wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and glanced at the men in the forest in the distance. "Still training?"

"That's right, they made me lose ten gold, how could I spare them?" Liang Xiao said half-jokingly: "How about it, I will compete again one day so that I can earn it back."

"That's not easy." Zhao Guang and Liang Xiao were together for more than ten days and became familiar with each other. They also started joking. He pulled open his clothes, opened his arms, and exposed his scar-striped chest. "Can you see clearly so far?"

Liang Xiao turned around and pulled Qianliyan from Xiya's hand and handed it to Zhao Guang. He knew that Zhao Guang had paid attention to his Qianliyan for a long time, but he had no nerve to ask. Zhao Guang took Qianliyan and put it on his eyes for a moment, and couldn't help but say "Huh". "This is a treasure."

"Of course it's a treasure." Liang Xiao smiled and took Qianliyan back. Zhao Guang's eyes seemed to stick to Qianliyan and could not be moved away for a long time. Liang Xiao pretended not to see, Qianliyan could not be sent out easily. First, it made Zhao Guang's jealous a little, raising his appetite, and then it was easier to make a deal. "What's the matter with me?"

"Oh, the court sent another envoy, Yan An, who came here last time. We don't know what the imperial court meant, why two envoys were sent, so we asked."

Liang Xiao was stunned and then calmed down again. "It's nothing. I heard that you Prime Minister Lu is very literary and elegant. Maybe the emperor was afraid that I couldn't handle it, so he sent Yan An to take over. It would be better if they were to talk to the scholars and we military men and women."

Zhao Guang laughed twice, but the doubt in his eyes did not subside. Liang Xiao's expression just now fell into his eyes, and he knew that Liang Xiao was not telling the truth.

So, why did Yan An go back and why did Liang Xiao cover up?—
