Chapter 527 Some are happy and some are sad
The guards immediately wanted to drag the captain out and chop off his head.
The captain shouted quickly,
"Marshal, everything I said is true! Marshal, please spare my life. The Emperor of Dayan also asked me to bring a message to His Majesty!"
At this moment, a general suddenly stood up and shouted,
"Wait a minute!"
"General, this may be true. Didn't we receive news that the Emperor of Great Yan came to Xuzhou during his southern tour?
Maybe it was really Lanling Wang who brought the Emperor of Dayan out to relax and attack our fort for fun.
It's also possible that Yan State wants to provoke our Great Wei. We might as well listen to what he has to say."
The general immediately said to the captain,
"Tell me quickly, what message did the Emperor of Dayan ask you to convey?"
The captain knelt on the ground and quickly repeated Yan Fuyao's words.
After hearing this, Pang Liao's face instantly darkened and he shouted,
"Provocation! They are here to provoke us, and they chose New Year's Eve specifically because they don't want us to have a good New Year."
At this time, another general stood up and said,
"General, I also remembered something. This afternoon, a soldier came over and said that the Emperor of Dayan brought more than 2,000 people and formed a battle array at their gate, but they didn't attack the city. It seems like that."
Pang Liao slammed the table hard, pointed at the other party and shouted,
"Why didn't you report it?!"
The general looked embarrassed and stammered,
"I thought this was ridiculous. He must have lied about military intelligence. So I gave him thirty lashes and sent him to the military doctor's office."
The captain cried loudly,
"Marshal, he didn't lie about military intelligence. He was sent by a villain."
Pang Liao gritted his teeth, sighed heavily, and said,
"Take this man to the brother who was beaten, and give them twenty taels of silver. Take care of your wounds and go down."
"Thank you, Marshal."
After the captain left, a group of generals stood up, no longer in the mood to eat, and said to Pang Liao,
"General, this is too much. When the Yan army attacked Xuzhou, they sent people to warn us that if we dared to set foot in Xuzhou, we would bear the consequences.
Now they come again to provoke and kill our brothers.
Let's send troops to fight them. They won't let us have a good New Year, and we won't let them have a good New Year either!"
"Yes, Marshal, that's too bullying!"
"We can't swallow this!"
Everyone was talking at once, filled with indignation.
Pang Liao thought about it and shook his head.
"The Yan army is deliberately provoking us. They are provoking us so that we will counterattack them, which will give them a reason to attack us.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we rashly start a war, no one can predict what the outcome will be. The imperial court will also blame us for sending troops without authorization.
How about this? I will write a memorial to Your Majesty, informing you of this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to make the final decision."
The generals sighed helplessly, and were no longer in the mood to eat, so they dispersed.
Pang Liao also sighed slowly.
He really couldn't lead his troops to fight the Yan people. Otherwise, whether he won or lost, it would give the Yan people a reason to start a war.
The Yan people are now eager to go to war.
By then, the civil servants in the court will be able to sue him to death.
……
The Wei army swallowed their anger and dared not make any move.
On the other hand, in the Yan army camp, people were singing and dancing, celebrating the New Year with great joy.
Some people were eating stewed mutton from the pot, some were eating stewed large bones, some were grilling mutton skewers, and there were also many large pots of dumplings.
Looking at this joyous atmosphere, Yan Fuyao, who had just returned, was also very happy. He got off the carriage and walked towards the general's tent with Shen Changgong.
When passing by a mutton stew pot, Shen Changgong smelled it and smiled.
"It smells so good, what seasoning did you use?"
The fireman beside him quickly grabbed a handful of spices and said,
"Your Highness, this is fennel. It smells really good."
Shen Changgong put it under his nose and sniffed it, then said,
"Isn't this cumin? Let me tell you, this stuff is the most fragrant when paired with roasted lamb. It's simply the most delicious thing on earth.
Stir-fry this in an iron pan, or grill it on an iron plate. Stir-fry it evenly until it's fragrant, then grind it into powder and sprinkle it on the lamb skewers. The taste is guaranteed to be unforgettable."
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. I will try it right away."
"Go quickly, it will only take a quarter of an hour and it will be done soon."
Shen Changgong took Yan Fuyao's hand and continued walking with a smile.
For this New Year's Eve dinner, Yan Fuyao did not choose to enjoy the fine food and clothing in Xuzhou City, but chose to have fun with the soldiers in the military camp.
Arriving at the Tianyu Army's general tent, Gongsun Wan'er was the first to run out and asked,
"Your Majesty, where did you go today? Why couldn't I find you the whole day? Did you secretly go on a date with Shen Changgong?"
"What date? I went to observe the enemy's deployment on the front line and even took down an enemy stronghold. Do you really think I'm as free as you?"
"Huh? Didn't you say we had a holiday on New Year's Eve? Why are you still inspecting the front lines?
And...you're going to war? Is this true? I'm not kidding, don't lie to me."
Yan Fuyao smiled proudly and took out the painter's painting for everyone to see.
The girls and Yu Huatian were stunned when they saw this painting.
Gongsun Wan'er opened her mouth wide and said,
"Your Majesty, are you really going to war? Why didn't you call me? Why did you take Tu Que Ling with you and not me? This is not fair."
Tang Xinyi frowned and said,
"Your Majesty is worth a fortune, how could you go to such a dangerous place? And the prince is also there, why don't you stop them? That's in enemy territory, what if something happens to Your Majesty?"
Jiang Ruoxue also nodded repeatedly,
"That's right, fighting is dangerous and not fun at all."
Fairy Meiyan snorted coldly and said,
"They're looking for an exciting date. Is there any place in the world more exciting than an enemy stronghold?
They are the most powerful couple in Dayan, so their dating style is also different.
When other men and women go on a date, it's about romance, poetry, calligraphy and painting, but when they go on a date, it's like fighting with swords and spears, capturing cities and strongholds.
Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so envious.”
Yan Fuyao grabbed Fairy Meiyan's charming face and threatened,
"You say it again?"
"Hey, I don't dare."
Yan Fuyao said,
"Put the painting away, don't get it dirty. Frame it when you get home. This painting will be hung in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, where it will be remembered forever."
"As ordered!"
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Come on, let's go outside and look for something delicious."
He walked out of the general's tent with the girls, and Yu Huatian said with a smile,
"Your Highness, there are several generals roasting mutton over there. We can go and try some."
"Okay, let's go."
They walked over there and saw a bonfire burning on the ground with a whole lamb roasted on it, sizzling with oil and emitting a unique lamb smell and aroma.
