Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

The next day.

Wei Yuan and Shi Xianzhi came to the inn, intending to escort the Xixia delegation out of Daizhou.

However, Yang Shousu was not in a hurry to leave.

"I have finally come to your Daizhou once. Before you can appreciate the scenery of Yanmen, you are rushing me to set off. It doesn't seem to be the way to treat guests, right?"

After hearing this, Wei Yuan and Shi Xianzhi frowned and looked at each other, wondering what Yang Shousu had in mind.

Isn't the focus of their trip going to Kyoto?

Why waste time staying in Daizhou?

Wei Yuan said: "Envoy, His Majesty the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has a decree in advance. Please envoy to go to Kyoto as quickly as possible to discuss important matters between the two countries with the envoy."

Yang Shousu was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, someone from the Xixia mission came to report that the deputy envoy had an old illness and needed to rest for a few days before setting off.

Yang Shousu looked troubled and said: "Guardian, Governor Shi, you have also heard that it's not that I don't want to go to Bianjing earlier, but that the incident happened suddenly."

Hearing this, Shi Xianzhi had no choice but to say, "I wonder if your envoy's condition is serious? I also have several famous doctors in Daizhou."

Yang Shousu stopped and said, "Don't bother me. There are people with me who are proficient in medical skills."

Reluctantly, Wei Yuan and Shi Xianzhi left the inn.

On the way, Wei Yuan said: "The deputy envoy of Xixia, I'm afraid it's a fake illness."

I just arrived in Daizhou yesterday and are you sick today? How could it be such a coincidence?

Shi Xianzhi asked: "What do they want to do when they stay in Daizhou?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, "I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway. You and I should be more careful and pay attention to the situation of the Xixia mission these days."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a member of the Xixia mission trotting over and said:

"Wait a minute for the Guards Regiment to practice. The Guards Regiment is practicing. General Yeli said that he wants to see the style of your army. I wonder if I can go to your army's barracks to communicate with you?"

Wei Yuan frowned deeply.

Is this something a person can ask?

Of course not.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. If General Yeli wants to see my surrounding army, I can pull out an army alone and let General Yeli see it."

Wei Yuan said with a smile.

The soldier of the Xixia mission didn't know how to respond.

But Ye Li Wangrong appeared, walking towards Wei Yuan, and said:

"General Xiaowei, do you think that your peripheral army is not as good as my Daxia border army, so you are afraid of losing face and don't want me to go?"

Shi Xianzhi was dissatisfied and interjected: "General Yeli, if I and General Wei go to your military camp on the Xixia border, will you let us go too?"

Yeli Wangrong said with a smile: "If you two are willing to go, why not?"

The corner of Shi Xianzhi's mouth twitched, this guy is so shameless!

Who has nothing to do and comes all the way to your Xixia military camp?

If it had been before, it wouldn't hurt to let Ye Li Wangrong take a look.

But now, Wei Yuan has created a new military training method, and it's too late to keep it secret. How can he let him see it?

"General Yeli, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely let you visit. Unfortunately, our soldiers are currently training, so there may be some inconvenience."

Wei Yuan refused.

Yeli Wangrong smiled and said: "General Wei, I heard that you are good at swordsmanship. Do you dare to compete with me?"

"If I win, let me go to your camp to have a look. If I lose, let me put this matter aside for the time being. How about that?"

Wei Yuan gave him a cold look.

Is this man sick?

You say we should compare?

You can't go to my barracks even if you don't.

Wei Yuan said: "General Yeli, you are getting older too. I'd better not bully the elderly. If you say it, your reputation will not be good."

After that, he left with Shi Xianzhi.

Yeli Wangrong was almost angry, but fortunately he remembered Yang Shousu's advice, suppressed his inner anger, and said sarcastically:

"Could it be that all the generals and soldiers of your Zhou Dynasty are a bunch of useless losers, especially you, Wei Yuan, who don't even dare to compete with me, for fear that your teacher Zhang Fu is also a vain person."

Hear the sound.

Wei Yuan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Ye Li Wangrong.

"If I win, you need to admit it personally in Yanmen Pass. You, wild and powerful, don't have as many generals as I do in the Great Zhou Dynasty. You, Xixia, don't have as many generals as I do in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How about that?"

Yeli Wangrong smiled and said, "Do you think you can beat me?"

Wei Yuan said: "Just tell me whether you dare or not."

Yeli Wangrong said: "Okay! This afternoon, you and I will compete in Yanmen Pass. Don't let me beat you until you cry."

Wei Yuan said coldly: "Don't wait until the time comes."

After leaving the inn, Shi Xianzhi frowned and said: "He is one of the members of the mission. It doesn't matter if you win, it doesn't matter if you lose. Why fight for the advantage of words?"

Wei Yuan said: "Teacher treats me with great kindness. He says I can do it, but says my teacher can't. The generals of the Zhou Dynasty risked their lives to protect their family and country. They say I can do it, but they say they can't."

Shi Xianzhi asked curiously: "Is there no other reason?"

Wei Yuan added: "Except for the battle at Yanmen, I seem to have no meritorious achievements."

Shi Xianzhi stroked his beard and said, "No wonder, if you win Ye Li Wangrong, you will become famous all over the world. But, can you win?"

Wei Yuan said: "Whether we can win or not, we will know when the time comes."

When competing with others, no one can say who will win.

Wei Yuan could only go all out.

But he felt that the price of failure was bearable.

First, Yeli Wangrong is a veteran who has been famous for a long time. I am young and it will not be embarrassing to lose to him.

Second, if he really loses to him, he will be able to handle the situation in the barracks in time without letting him see the slightest clue.

If you win, there will be many benefits.

Inside the inn.

Yang Shousu smiled at Yeli Wangrong and said, "Did he agree to compete with you?"

The latter nodded and said: "I agreed. If I win, I can go to their side camp to have a look."

"I really don't know, what's the benefit of having me compete with a young general?"

Yang Shousu said: "Reputation is a small matter. If you can find out the reality of the surrounding camps, we will definitely not lose."

"But, are you sure of winning?"

Yeli Wangrong said: "Mr. Yang, you don't think that I will lose to a young boy, do you?"

Yang Shousu stroked his beard and said, "It's better not to take it lightly."

——

Afternoon.

Inside Yanmen Pass.

Wei Yuan and Ye Li Wangrong arrived as promised.

Around the two of them, half stood the Zhou generals, and the other half were members of the Xixia mission.

As for Shi Xianzhi and Yang Shousu, they stood in an attic and watched this scene with their own eyes.

Before the two started competing, the two had already begun to bicker with each other.

Yang Shousu was the first to ask: "Who does Governor Shi think will win among these two?"

Shi Xianzhi said: "To be honest, I have never witnessed General Wei's martial arts with my own eyes. It's just..."

"General Yeli is old after all, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do what he wants."

Yang Shousu said: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains, which is that the older you get, the stronger you become. Doesn't the governor know the allusion to the veteran general Lian Po?"

Shi Xianzhi smiled and said, "General Ye Li is not the old general Lian Po after all."

"When I watch this battle, I don't think much of it. After all, if you use the young to bully the old and the weak, who cares about the outcome?"

"It's just that General Yeli insists on competing. This, this, this, it's hard to explain."

Yang Shousu smiled and said: "I heard that all the border states of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in charge of the army of governors. How come I heard that in Daizhou, generals of Wei are in charge of the army?"

"Does Governor Shi have no complaints in his heart?"

Shi Xianzhi snorted coldly and thought to himself, he couldn't even use a divorce tactic, so he was still the counselor next to the leader of the Xixia Kingdom?

"Your Majesty, please stop talking nonsense. Let's see, the two of them are going to compete."
