Although Huan Yanfan didn't say anything, Yang Shouwen could see what he was thinking.

Huan Yanfan made great contributions to this battle in Lingnan. After Qulan was killed, it was Huan Yanfan who stepped forward to stabilize the situation.

It was he who launched a timely resistance that delayed the rebels' offensive.

However, after this, he retreated one after another, and even almost retreated to Yongzhou.

There are many factors of luck here... After Qu Lan was killed, Annan had no leader, and it became a mess. The rebels' offensive was very fierce. Although Huan Yanfan had the means, he had no power in his hands and could only fight and retreat.

In contrast, Yang Shouwen advanced east from Jiannan Road, destroyed Dongtian, Tangchidun, defeated the Hebarbarians, defeated the Liaozi army, and then lifted the siege of Gan Tang, which was outstanding. More importantly, he led his light cavalry to attack, killed Gan Meng in Jiaozhi, seized Jiaozhi County, and cut off the rebels' liaison, which gave Huan Yanfan the opportunity to organize his troops to fight back.

In this way, Yang Shouwen's contribution was obviously greater than Huan Yanfan, which made Huan Yanfan envious.

Next, we will wipe out the remnants of the rebels.

Huan Yanfan really wants to take this opportunity to save some face.

But facing Yang Shouwen, he really had no confidence.

Everyone knows that everything behind this is full of military achievements. If it were Huan Yanfan, he would definitely take action in person to quell the war.

Yang Shouwen said: "Duke Huan, please preside over the next battle."

"ah?"

"I was exhausted throughout the battle.

On the 20th day of Jiaozhi's defense, the army was also seriously injured, and he was really unable to move south. I was going to stay in Jiaozhi and rest, so I had to bother Duke Huan in the pursuit of Gan Yong. However, although I no longer participated in the war, the Anyi army was in full swing all the way east and had a strong morale. Wang Yuangui was also proficient in military affairs. If Duke Huan wanted to go south, please give him more opportunities."

Yang Shouwen was tired, but he would never be so tired that he could not fight.

Huan Yanfan even made plans to stay at Jiaozhi, but he never thought that Yang Shouwen would hand over the conquest to him.

This also made Huan Yanfan feel moved, and he bowed: "Don't worry, Huan will definitely live up to his entrustedness."

After pausing, he said in a deep voice: "However, Yang Mingwei's subordinates are full of strong men. Huan is self-aware, so he wants to borrow some people, so he asks Yang Mingwei not to refuse."

Recite and exchange!

Yang Shouwen gave Huan Yanfan the credit for quelling the war in the end, so in exchange, Huan Yanfan also wanted to repay him.

Yang Shouwen did not go to the conquest, but it did not mean that his subordinates did not want to conquer.

Not to mention anything else, the four brothers of the Tu family all looked lively. Huan Yanfan did this to fulfill Yang Shouwen's friendship.

Yang Shouwen naturally would not object to this.

After the two sides agreed, Yang Shouwen returned to the county government to rest.

The Annan Protectorate was located in Jiaozhi, but due to the previous rebellion, the Protectorate was cremated into ashes by the rebels, and now there is only a piece of ruins left. It is not known when it will be completed. Yang Shouwen simply used the county government as a residence and worked in the county government office on weekdays. However, Huan Yanfan did not live in the city, but instead stationed outside the city with his personal side.

From this point of view, it is also Huan Yanfan's respect.

His stationed outside the city shows that before the imperial decree arrived, the Annan Protectorate was respected by Yang Shouwen.

"Big Cat, don't you go to help your father?"

"Forget it, I'll stay in Jiaozhi... I don't deal with him very much. After meeting, I have to argue again. It's better to do my own things.

Besides, Gan Meng is dead and the rebels are no longer threatened.

Although Gan Yong is brave, it is not worth worrying. If he can't even deal with Gan Yong, I would advise him to resign and go home."

Yang Shouwen is not easy to judge the conflict between the father and son of the Huan family.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon in later generations. The relationship between father and son is actually very good, but the personality of father and son is very strong. The father always wants to arrange a path and let his son move forward according to his arrangements; but the son is very independent and wants to act according to his wishes... As a result, the differences between father and son become increasingly greater and the contradictions become irreconcilable.

This is basically the case with the father and son of the Huan family.

Therefore, Huan Yanfan went south, but Huan Daochen would not follow him.

Of course, he also knew that Huan Yanfan's trip was absolutely dangerous and he could achieve great success. Otherwise, he would definitely follow him...

Seeing that Huan Daochen had made up his mind, Yang Shouwen stopped asking.

He still has a lot to do. Although Jiaozhi has been recaptured and the rebels have been defeated, the trauma of this rebellion is difficult to dissipate.

It lasted nearly six months from the rebels' uprising, killing Qulan, and the gathering of the army.

In six months, wars of all sizes have exceeded 100 times, affecting nearly 30 counties in the twelve prefectures and counties, with tens of thousands of casualties and more than 100,000 people displaced. Now, spring is chilly and the new year is coming. The resettlement of these victims, as well as the construction of agriculture and cities, have been put on issues and need to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes.

Since Yang Shouwen chose to stay in Jiaozhi, he would not be able to avoid these trivial things next.

Fortunately, he had Huan Daochen, Zhu Huan, and Sun Chuxuan, who had forcibly recruited from Zizhou when he left Jiannan Road.

These people each have their own strengths, which greatly alleviated Yang Shouwen's pressure.

Of course, the most important point is Mingxiu's help.

The Ming family was about to go out to sea, so they sent a large amount of supplies to Lingnan. Mingxiu wrote a letter to Quanzhou and begged for the Ming family to help.

Before Jingzhe arrived, a batch of supplies finally arrived in Jiaozhi...

Yang Shouwen is not unfamiliar with the person who transports supplies, and is Lin Luan, whom he had met in Changzhou before.

After talking to Mingxiu for a while, he said goodbye and left without having sex with Yang Shouwen. However, after Lin Luan left, Yang Shouwen could clearly feel the changes in Mingxiu's emotions. He became a little irritable and a little depressed.

It was chilly spring, but the wisteria flowers on the walls of the courtyard behind the county government office were green and particularly vivid.

When Yang Shouwen walked to the pond, he saw Mingxiu sitting there, looking at the ripples of the pool of water, and was stunned.

"Are you leaving?"

Yang Shouwen sat down next to Mingxiu, not looking at him.

Mingxiu was stunned and turned her head and said, "How do you know?"

"Looking at your distracted appearance all day long, you know that you have something to worry about.

Last year, you told me that you would go back to Jiangzuo. After that, the wars continued. You followed me to conquer and did not mention this matter again. Two days ago, after Lin Luan arrived in Jiaozhi, he did not meet me. After delivering the supplies, he hurriedly left...

Then you were dazed every day and scolded Jasmine yesterday.

I know, you like Mori the most. The reason why you scold me is that you are in a irritable mood.

If I can't guess why you are worried about these many things, wouldn't I be useless to be the name of the banished immortal?"

After hearing this, Mingxiu couldn't help laughing.

He rubbed his cheeks and then sighed quietly.

“The monsoon is coming, and going out to sea is imminent.

After I go to the Lion Kingdom, I will go to the Lion Kingdom... and then, I will find a foundation in the Lion Kingdom and then gain a foothold.

Therefore, if you go there for three or five years, you may not be able to return to the Central Plains."

"Why, can't bear to leave me?"

When Mingxiu heard this, she couldn't help laughing and swearing, and punched Yang Shouwen hard.

Then, he looked at Yang Shouwen, and after a long time he turned his head, stared at Chi Shui, and said softly: "Qingzhi, how long have we known each other?"

"Including this year, in a few months, I'm afraid it will be three years."

"Yes, it's been three years!"

Mingxiu smiled and said with emotion: "Since Cheung Chau, I have followed you around and encountered many dangerous situations.

Sometimes I feel very annoying to you, thinking that you are just a broom star. If you walk there, something will happen there.

But these three years, for me, are also the happiest three years... I am carefree and don't worry about the things in the family. However, I am a child of the Ming family after all. Now the Ming family needs me to serve, so I can't refuse, so I can only go.

But this time, I can no longer take risks and play with you!"

Scenes of the past three years have emerged in my mind.

From Changzhou to Luoyang, from Luoyang to the Western Regions, from Western Regions to Jiannan, from Jiannan to this Annan... Mingxiu and him were born and died again and again, but never abandoned each other. This friendship cannot be felt on weekdays, but at this moment, it has come to my heart.

However, Yang Shouwen knew that he could not stop Mingxiu.

Mingxiu went here for the sake of the family, and no one could keep him.

After a long silence, he whispered: "When will you set off?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Is it so urgent?"

Mingxiu bit a green grass, took a deep breath, and said, "The monsoon is not waiting for anyone. If you miss the monsoon, you will have to wait until next year to set off.

Year after year, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is.

I didn't know how to tell you before, but now I'll be relaxed after I say it."

After saying that, Mingxiu stood up, patted Yang Shouwen on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, what should I do? Let's go and do it. I have to pack my luggage. Don't call me for dinner anymore. I will leave tomorrow morning, and Lin Luan is still waiting for me."

It turned out that Lin Luan didn’t leave!

Yang Shouwen stood up and was about to speak, but saw Mingxiu floating away.

I thought about having wine together tonight.

But when I said this, I swallowed it back.
