Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 397 Before sending troops ()

"Your Majesty, Quan Zhongshu, Chang'an is ahead."

Suo Bao came to the carriage and reminded him through the curtain.

Given the importance Huan Xi attached to Aman, how could he not arrange for an escort when he traveled.

The ones responsible for this task are Suo Bao, the Youlang general who was reincarnated by Guan Yu, and the Youlang Wei under his command.

After hearing this, Aman opened the curtain and looked around, and sure enough he saw the majestic city in front of him.

"Finally home."

Aman said with emotion.

During this tour, he benefited a lot from what he saw along the way.

The carriage was still moving forward slowly. Aman retracted his head. He looked at Quan Yi who was riding with him and asked:
"My father will be going off to war soon. Will my husband also go with us?"

Quan Yi nodded and said:
"Yes, this battle is of vital importance. Wang Lingjun must stay in Guanxi. I am free to serve as Liang Gong's counselor in military affairs and take care of everything in the camp."

A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible for Huan Xi to take care of the daily chores in the camp besides fighting.

Therefore, Quan Yi needs to share some of the burden for him, so that Huan Xi can focus all his attention on facing the enemy in battle.

Aman looked at Quan Yi's face and asked cautiously:
"Sir, do you think that if I take the initiative to ask my father to go out with the army, will my father allow it?"

Quan Yi smiled and said:

"It's not like Quan can guess what Duke Liang is thinking. The prince can ask Duke Liang himself. I'm sure Duke Liang will never blame him for this."

When Aman heard this, he curled his lips unconsciously. Who didn't know that Quan Yi was the best at understanding his father's thoughts in all of Kansai.

However, since Quan Yi said that Huan Xi would not blame him, Aman put aside his worries and prepared to express his thoughts to Huan Xi face to face.

As Aman grew up, Huanxi allowed him to experience many things, but he never let him go to the front line to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. This made Aman yearn for the battlefield.

His grandfather Huan Wen and father Huan Xi both started their careers with military exploits. As their descendants, how could they not be ignorant of the military? At least Aman himself thought so.

Aman has always envied his uncle Xie Xuan. Now he is only fifteen years old and has begun to lead troops in the army.

Huan Xi handed over the newly recruited five thousand guards to Xie Xuan.

Since this team has a large number of new soldiers, Huan Xi does not expect them to be put to use, but as a battlefield atmosphere team to add strength to Liang Guo's military strength, so he can put down the idea of ​​handing over this new army to himself. brother in law.

If Huan Xi wins the local battle, as the pursuing party, he can let them out to see the blood.

Of course, Xie Xuan had no military exploits before, so his sudden promotion still made many people dissatisfied, thinking that he was able to be favored by Huan Xi only because of his status as a relative.

However, considering that Xie Xuan is Xie Daoyun's half-brother and the maternal uncle of Liang Guo's crown prince Aman, this level of status is more important than any military merit.

Everyone believed that Huan Xi was eager to let Xie Xuan lead the army because he wanted to cultivate power in the army for Aman.

Once something unexpected happens to Huan Xi, in addition to the trusted generals he left behind, Aman will also have his own confidants.

Xie Xuan began to lead the army at the age of fifteen, sooner or later. After all, he was considered an adult.

He had been training in the army with Huan Xi since he was thirteen years old, and Huan Xi also believed that he could shoulder this responsibility.

The contemporaries Murong Ke and Murong Chui basically started to lead the army at this age. Huan Xi came a little later. When he stayed in Chengdu at the age of sixteen, he began to lead the army alone and defeated the remnants of the Cheng Han Dynasty outside Chengdu.

As for Aman, he is still too young, only seven years old.

In Sima Xingnan's view, it was okay for a child of his age to go out and see the world, but if Huan Xi wanted to take him to the battlefield, that would be absolutely not allowed. When Aman returned to Weiyang Palace and mentioned to his father that he wanted to go out with the army, he was strongly opposed by Sima Xingnan before Huanxi could express his stance.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Sima Xingnan pounded the table excitedly.

Huan Xi smiled bitterly at Aman and said:

"Since your grandmother doesn't allow it, you should give up this idea and stay in Chang'an with peace of mind."

In fact, Huan Xi is very happy that Aman can take the initiative to bring up this matter, which proves that this child will not settle for pleasure, but is willing to do things and has extremely good ambitions.

Seeing this, Aman quickly hugged Sima Xingnan's arm and said coquettishly:
"Grandma, just let your grandson go. Your grandson is not going to fight in battle. He just wants to follow his father and stay in the army to be influenced by his influence. I believe he will gain something."

This trick has always been successful in the past. As long as he acts coquettishly, his grandmother will do anything and will agree to anything.

But it didn't work today. Sima Xingnan said angrily:
"How can your father take care of you when we are facing the enemy? At your age, if you go to the front line, not only can you not help, but you will have to distract yourself from taking care of you, which will only cause trouble for him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huan Xi whispered:

"Aman has always been well-behaved, so how can he cause trouble? In fact, even if he goes to the front line, he will not encounter any danger."

After all, unless he suffered a defeat and Huan Xi couldn't even protect himself, Aman's life would not be in danger anyway with Aman by his side.

Seeing his father speaking for him, Aman's originally depressed mood suddenly became cheerful. However, Sima Xingnan's strength ruthlessly shattered his hopes.

I saw Sima Xingnan staring at Huan Xi fiercely and yelling:

"What's the matter with you! I have my own opinion on this matter. If you still recognize me as your mother, leave Aman in Chang'an!"

Huan Xi was startled when he heard this, and could only shake his head helplessly at Aman: I tried my best.

Aman was instantly disappointed. He really wanted to go to the front line and feel the atmosphere of war.

For ordinary soldiers, war is cruel, swords and guns are short-sighted, and stray arrows can kill people.

It's just that this cruelty has nothing to do with Aman. Even Huan Xi will not take the lead and often chooses to supervise the battle from the rear. Aman is even less likely to be in danger.

At this time, Xie Daoyun, who had been silently watching until now, finally spoke:

"Aman, when you are a few years older, it won't be too late to go on an expedition with your father, so there is no need to rush.

"Just follow your grandmother's arrangements today."

Huan Xi also nodded and said:

"Actually, what your grandmother said is right. If your life is really at a critical moment, your father won't be able to care about you.

"Let's do this. When you stay in Chang'an, you can practice your riding skills for the time being. When you go to the battlefield in the future, if you encounter a threat, you can ride your horse and escape by yourself without the need for others to take care of you."

Seeing that his father and mother both agreed with his grandmother's decision, Aman knew that there would be no room for maneuver, so he had no choice but to agree.

Huan Xi told him again:

"Of course, you can't just practice your riding skills. No matter how good your riding skills are, it will not be beneficial to running the country."

Aman said obediently:
"Children, please obey your father's teachings."
