[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 346 of “(Quickly Wear) Baby You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]
by☆、General Order 22
At this time, Tan Heng had been named King of Yue – the first and only king with a different surname in the Dayan Dynasty.He’s wolfish ambitions have long been obvious when the emperor was ignored by him in every possible way. The Jizhou Army was renamed the Dai Viet Army and occupied the richest south, with unparalleled power.
The King of Jiaoxi had proclaimed himself emperor in the 13th year of Yanping, and he also called himself the Yan Dynasty, but places outside his jurisdiction were called “Pseudo-Yan”.Together with Li Ding, these two parties formed a tripartite force in the vast territory of the Great Yan Dynasty. Although their strength was high or low, due to mutual restraint, it could be said that one move affected the whole body.
But the deadlock must be broken by someone. Neither Tan Heng nor the King of Jiaoxi are satisfied with being safe. However, if they provoke a war first, there is a possibility that the remaining party will take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
Tan Boyu then said to Tan Heng: “Why don’t I join forces with Li Ding? This man sent envoys to the court before, and he has already shown his intention to submit to the imperial court. In the land of Guandong, there are many powerful families. Although this man has military talents, he has no ability to govern the country. He must occupy this place and have already been unable to do what he wants. Now that he has the intention to change, when he is decided, his father and he are kings with different surnames, so he is not afraid.he is not satisfied.”
Tan Heng originally had this intention in mind, but after Tan Boyu’s persuasion, he felt more and more justified.Over the years, he has relied more and more on this eldest son. It must be said that compared to the second son who is good at fighting, the eldest son’s talents become more important as the world is about to be settled.
“You are willing to share my worries for my father,” Tan Heng stroked his beard with satisfaction, “It’s not in vain that my father values you so much. This family will still depend on you in the future.”
Hearing this, Tan Boyu hurriedly said respectfully and humbly: “My father is so complimentary. Without my father, how could I have been here today?” A cold light flashed in his lowered eyes, which was fleeting.After returning to his yard, he closed his study tightly, hurriedly wrote a letter and gave it to his confidant: “Follow the old rules.”
The boy took the order and left, standing in front of the steps, looking at the cold moon in the sky, his face expressionless, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
The next day, Tan Heng proposed at the meeting that he would join forces with Li Ding to fight against the King of Jiaoxi. Everyone was talking endlessly, some agreed and some opposed.On such an occasion, Yao Ji, a high-ranking general, was also present. Li Ding was indeed incapable of controlling Guandong as Tan Heng said, but when he killed the King of Hejian and established himself as emperor, he was obviously not an unambitious person. Maybe he really wants to surrender now, and there is no guarantee that he will not rebel again.
But when she saw that Tan Boyu also supported the alliance with Li Ding, she did not say anything. Instead, Zhang Huan said: “I think the time has not come yet, Sikong needs to be careful.”
He has always been very scheming, and Tan Heng trusted him very much. When he saw this, he said: “In that case, wait for me to discuss the matter again.”
Tan Heng was originally a cautious and suspicious person, but maybe because the dawn of unifying the world was just around the corner, he gradually became a little more impatient in his behavior. In addition, as he got older, his health was not as good as before. In addition to being suspicious, he also showed signs of being willful.Except for a few people he has always trusted, he doesn’t like to listen to ordinary advice.
Therefore, Yao Ji did not feel surprised when she heard that he still decided to form an alliance with Li Ding despite Li Chengzhong’s suggestion.Li Chengzhong was the veteran who followed Tan Heng for the longest time. Some of those generals died in battle, some betrayed Tan Heng, and only a few remained loyal to Tan Heng. Li Chengzhong’s words were even more acceptable to him than Tan Heng’s children.
Li Chengzhong not only strengthened Tan Heng’s determination, but also suggested that Tan Zhongkun be the envoy to negotiate with Li Ding. Everyone thought that he had always supported the second young master, and presumably he wanted the second young master to take the opportunity to take credit.
Although Tan Zhongkun has not been as trusted as Tan Boyu in recent years, he is still very fond of Tan Heng, and Tan Heng is also happy to let his second son earn face. He is still hesitating whether to pass the family business to the eldest son or the second son. If the second son behaves well this time, Tan Heng feels that he should make a decision.
It’s just that he didn’t expect, and everyone in the Yue Army didn’t expect that Tan Zhongkun would die.
He died under the enemy’s arrows, and his body was not found.Li Ding, who showed his intention to form an alliance, suddenly turned his back. The 30,000 troops brought by Tan Zhongkun were attacked and lost most of them.When the news came back, Tan Heng was discussing matters with everyone in the palace, and Yao Ji was sitting on his right hand side. She saw that his face changed several times, first it turned red, then blue, and then turned pale.
Is this also acting?She thought to herself that it was too true.Then the man’s body swayed a few times, and before he fell down, she heard he call out sadly: “Erlang!” amidst everyone’s exclamations.

“It turns out…people like Dad can also be sad.”
Standing in the corridor, the main courtyard not far away was brightly lit, and doctors and servants were coming and going.Looking at the noisy courtyard, Yao Ji smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: “I thought he would never give true feelings to someone.”
“In that case… we can no longer call it a human being.” Tan Boyu’s voice was very soft, “When you are born as a human being, there is always something that you cannot let go of. Even if you can throw away everything, there is only one thing that you must hold on to at all costs.”
“What did you say?”
Yao Ji did not hear the second half of he’s sentence clearly. Tan Boyu smiled and gently touched the top of his sister’s hair: “It’s nothing. It’s getting late. Let’s go and have a rest. Erlang’s coffin will arrive tomorrow.”
It was said to be a coffin, but in fact, the coffin only contained a few pieces of armor that had been recovered with great difficulty. Tan Zhongkun died on the battlefield, and no bones were left.For no reason, Yao Ji thought of what Zhang Huan once said the year Tan Shuyun died: “If Tan wants to continue walking and reach that place, there will be many separations in the future.”
This sentence is like a prophecy, tying them to the chariot leading to glory, but during the march, they have to watch people being pushed down one by one.This is a tragedy that Yao Ji has never experienced in many lives, because the Tan family is reaching an unparalleled peak, but it seems that it is about to fall apart.
This kind of collapse seems to be continuing. Tan Zhongkun’s death made Tan Heng extremely angry. He personally led an army of 400,000 and officially declared war with Li Ding. Li Chengzhong, who felt ashamed of Tan Zhongkun, also rushed to the front line with him. Yao Ji was once again left to guard the rear. When sending the expedition team out of the city, Zhang Huan general sheCalled to a secluded place, he solemnly said: “Sanniang, I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter.”
“Although the second young master is brave, he has neither eloquence nor wisdom. When it comes to choosing a negotiator, he is definitely not the most suitable person. Since Li Xiande supports he, how come he doesn’t know that he is not good at this matter, but why should he be recommended? I felt strange at the time, but Sikong had already given the order and it obviously cannot be changed, so I didn’t say much. Now that I think about it, maybe I should persuade Sikong again.”
He knew that Yao Ji had always been brooding over Tan Zhongkun’s death, so she said this because she was rushing to go on an expedition, but she had to say goodbye after just a few words.Yao Ji suppressed her doubts and watched him leave before riding back home.She had to admit that what Zhang Huan said was reasonable. In fact, she had similar doubts in her heart. However, everyone thought that Li Chengzhong wanted to take credit for Tan Zhongkun, so they recommended him. However, negotiating with the enemy is inherently dangerous. Li Chengzhong has always been steady, so how could he take such a risk?
Yao Ji had a vague guess in her heart. She took a deep breath and called Atui: “Send someone to General He’s Mansion, no, go to General Wang’s Mansion, and tell Ahu to meet me at the military camp tomorrow. He has important matters to give.”
