Huan Rong

It was Yang An, the assassin of Diqin Liangzhou, who led the troops to besiege Yang Liang and his son.

In the tenth year of Yonghe, Huanwen attacked the former Qin Dynasty in the north and took back Hanzhong from the Di people.Since then, Liangzhou has been divided into two, and the northern part is occupied by the Di people, and the assassins are sent to rule, and the government is located in Qiuchi.The south was ruled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Hanzhong was chosen as the ruler.

Yang Liang lived in Hanzhong for more than ten years. He lived next to the Di people and was often harassed by the Di soldiers. Both sides had victories and defeats.

Prior to the death of Sima Huan, instead of falling apart, the Huan family grew further, which made him feel a sense of crisis.Therefore, looking for an opportunity to make military exploits, increase strength, and show strength to the Huan family, so as to prevent it from being annexed by the Huan family.

Huan Rong couldn't figure out the reason why the Di people invaded south was because it wasn't Fu Jian who sent people to provoke him this time, but Yang Liang suddenly became hot and sent his son to lead troops to attack Qiu Chi!

Due to the sudden dispatch of troops, the Di people were caught off guard and were beaten all the way to the city.

His son's confidence was inflated, and he didn't follow the pre-planned plan to eat away at the two counties. Instead, he threatened the city, set fire to the city gate, and even robbed the daughters of two tribal leaders!

How could the Di people bear being beaten at the door?

Ever since, Yang An dispatched troops out of the city while going to Chang'an, not only repelling the attack of Yang's father and son, but also chasing them all the way to the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The development of the war situation was both expected and unexpected.

If everyone had the military talent of Huan Da Sima, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not have always been in a corner, and failed to unify the North and the South until the country was destroyed.

Diqin's Liangzhou assassin went all the way south, swept away the army of Yang Liang and his son, and took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot.Where Di soldiers pass by, there must be ten rooms and nine empty spaces, a miserable scene.

From the entry of Di soldiers in July to the siege of the city in August, Yang Liang and his son's ambitions turned into worries. They worried day and night, fearing that the city would be breached before the reinforcements arrived, and that they would be beheaded before their horses, with their heads hanging over the city gates.

As the general of Di Qin's side, Yang An also did not feel relaxed.

Having an advantage in the battle situation does not mean that everything will go smoothly.

Before the table was sent to Chang'an, the lord of the country expressed his appreciation for the dispatch of troops, saying that he was not inferior to his bravery, but he did not approve of his attack on Hanzhong.

It is reported that Wang Meng said that Shi Yijian is still alive, Qin Ce is pressing every step of the way, Di Qin is a powerful enemy, and there is another war in the north, and Shuofang Hou, who can deter the Huns, suddenly died of illness, and Chang'an is urgently dispatching troops from various places Deployment, at this time, it is really inappropriate to expand the battle situation and fight too much with Yi Jin.

The cause of the war was on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the best way to deal with it was to repel it and withdraw the troops if they had enough.Feeling that saving face is not enough, you can also hand over the letter of credence to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and fight a few more verbal battles.

If you occupy Hanzhong and don't leave, it will definitely attract the Eastern Jin Dynasty to counterattack with all its strength.

Huan Wen had just died less than a year ago, and the Huan family was about to consolidate the power he left behind, so they definitely refused to give up Hanzhong.At this time, the soldiers sent troops to Liangzhou, and even further occupied Hanzhong, which would definitely attract Huan's counterattack.

"Although Huan Yuanzi passed away, the Beifu Army is still in the hands of Huan's youngest son, and his power will not diminish. Moreover, the Huan family controls Jing, Jiang and other states, and will not sit back and watch Liangzhou be taken down. The pool is empty, so it's hard to guarantee that Shi Yijian and Tuyuhun won't take advantage of it."

The Eastern Jin Dynasty had to guard against strong neighbors, and so did Di Qin.

Because of a butterfly flapping its wings, Fu Jian failed to capture Yecheng as in history, and received Murong Xianbei's wealth and population under his rule. In addition, the Qin family continued to eat away at the east, and Rouran would knock a stick at the north from time to time. Life is very difficult.

After finally defeating Zhang Liang, Shi Yiqian, who was sent to guard Guzang, rebelled again. How can he reason?

If Wang Meng was able to go to war, Shi Yiqian's generation would not be able to prove it.

The problem is that Wang Mengjiu was ill in bed for a long time, and he couldn't last the whole court meeting.Entering the palace for an audience is still reluctant, leading troops to go out?If you can't get out of Chang'an, you can directly prepare for the funeral.

Fu Jian still listened to the persuasion, knowing that the troubles on both sides of the East and West were not small.

He sent people to attack Changli and almost killed Qin Ce's two sons. If he didn't avenge this revenge, it was not Qin Ce's character at all.As for Shi Yiqian, he pretended to be a minister and paid three melons and two jujubes as tribute every year, but in fact he was firmly entrenched in Guzang, and he would not bow to Diqin.

If a large army is sent, it will naturally destroy the country of Dai.However, behind Gu Zang was the Hu of the Western Regions, to the south was the Tuyuhun, and to the north was the Chile tribe. A slight move by Fu Jian might trigger a chain reaction.

The so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body, without such a great talent as Wang Meng, it is impossible to do everything properly. The matter can only hang here, holding his nose to accept the tribute from the country, and beating the Shiyi Jianmu in Chang'an every day.

In this case, it is not suitable for Yang Anshi to stay in Hanzhong for a long time. It is the best policy to run away after earning enough money.

However, Yang Liang and his son stick to the city, and Yang An spends more and more days in the city, and the loss is getting bigger and bigger, so he is really unwilling to withdraw.

Jin soldiers attacked Qiuchi and almost set fire to the city gate. If you can't set fire to the opponent's city, you will be laughed to death by your colleagues when you go back!

Although he has a Chinese surname and a Chinese name, Yang An is of Di descent.

Seeing that Liangzhou City could not be attacked for a long time, the fierceness in his bones was completely aroused. Regardless of Chang'an's order to withdraw troops, he insisted on attacking Liangzhou City and wiped out Yang Liang and his son.

As Wang Meng expected, the Huan clan received Yang Liang's call for help, and immediately ordered Qi soldiers to come to the rescue.It was neither Huan Huo nor Huan Chong who led the army, but Huan Rong, Huan Wen's son-in-law.

When Huan Rong passed through Jingzhou on the way to march, the news had already spread to Chang'an.

How can border states and counties not have a few spies.

The spies didn't know Huan Rong, but they could recognize the grade of the car he was riding in, and reported the truth. Regardless of his illness, Wang Meng repeatedly urged Fu Jian to make another order, and Yang An must be called back!

It's a pity that the decree did not come, Huan Rong's reinforcements had already arrived, just in time for Yang An to send troops to attack the city, when the battle was at its most stalemate.

Envoy Huan gave an order, and the chariots were pushed to the front of the formation, quickly lined up in three rows, and all the baffles were raised.

"Fire arrows!"

The Di people swarmed down the city and were the best targets.

The rain of arrows came with the sound of the wind, like a black cloud falling from mid-air.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind, Di Bing raised his head in doubt, his eyes widened instantly, his face was full of horror.

"enemy……"

Before the word "bing" came out, a rain of arrows flew towards him and passed through his neck on the spot.It was so strong that it nailed the person firmly to the ground.

hum-

It's like a strong soldier controlling the strings, and it's like a dense swarm of bees.

Anyone who is shrouded in arrow rain will either die or be injured.

A pile of corpses fell down in front of the city gate, and the shouts of killing on the battlefield stopped for two seconds.

"Fire arrows!"

The state soldiers pulled the mechanism again, and three rounds of arrow rain hit in succession. The Di people at the east gate left more than a hundred corpses and wailed everywhere, and they ran away with their heads in their arms.

The team led by Dian Kui, Xu Chao and others attacked at this time. Several humanoid weapons swung their spears and long knives, but without screaming, blood rained down on their feet.

Seeking truth from facts, Yang An's subordinates are not weak in combat effectiveness, they can even be called strong.However, the siege of the city took a lot of energy for a long time, and it was gradually showing fatigue. In addition, the reinforcements arrived suddenly, and the soldiers made strange moves. up.

First the east gate, then the north gate, and finally the west gate.

Dibing fled in succession.

The east gate suffered severe injuries and was scared out of his wits; the north gate had to flee when he saw his comrades in miserable condition and was killed by a humanoid weapon; the west gate actually followed suit.

Everyone else has run away, so if you don't hurry up, are you waiting to be killed?

More and more Di people fled, and Yang An ordered to kill more than a dozen who took the lead, but it was still useless.

Compared with the arrows that keep flying and the humanoid weapons chasing behind, a few heads are nothing!

No matter how bad the assassin Yang is, he has to keep the overall situation in mind, and it is impossible to cut off all his subordinates.The Jin people behind him are different. If you meet them, you must fight to the death, otherwise you will die!

A few hours ago, without Yang An's intimidation, everyone would definitely fight to the death.Now, I am exhausted, and some people still have burns and bruises from the siege. The disadvantage is obvious, and the strength is not equal, so the fool will go up to die!

You Di Bing recognized the bamboo spear array, and his face was full of horror, and Sa Yazi ran very fast.

When he ran away, he did not forget to shout: "It's Huan Rong! The governor of Youzhou, Huan Rong, boils the living and likes to eat raw meat!"

The shouting grew louder, and the battlefield quickly became chaotic.

Many Di soldiers didn't understand the situation, but they had no time to ask, so they could only run along with them, directly overturning the "supervisor team" set up by Yang An.

The Di people under the city fled in all directions, and the Di people who climbed to the top of the city were isolated and missed, and were soon surrounded and killed by the energetic state soldiers.To the end of my life, I still don't understand that the people of Ming and Jin can't hold on to the great situation, so why suddenly the world is turned upside down and everything has changed?

Yang Liang and his son are wearing armor and holding long swords. One guards the north gate and the other guards the east gate.As for Ximen, it will be handed over to Biejia and Gongma in Zhouzhong.

This battle is dangerous, far more than the previous ones. Everyone thought that they would die, and they were ready to destroy the city together.I didn't want the reinforcements to arrive in time, and the shot was extraordinary. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the Di people were scared away by a single encounter.

Standing at the top of the city, Yang Liang watched the rain of arrows covering the battlefield, watched the Youzhou cavalry charge from the flanks, and the infantry lined up in battle formation, pointing their spears at an angle, and the barrels of the guns were half larger than usual by visual inspection.

The role of the cavalry is to sweep the formation rather than kill the enemy, and the battle formation is the sharp weapon to kill the Di people.

Whenever the gun formation passed by, the Di people would either flee or be tied into blood gourds.

There are those who are not afraid of death and rush forward to cut off the barrel of the gun, killing and wounding the state soldiers, but it does not hurt the entire battle formation.A state soldier fell, and the vacancy was immediately filled.

On the battlefield, the balance of victory changed overnight.

The battle formation formed by Youzhou state soldiers was like a wheel running over, and Di people were killed by guns one after another along the way, leaving a terrible trail of blood.

"hiss--"

Seeing this situation, Yang Liang took a breath and subconsciously grabbed the bricks.

He had seen the Xifu army brought out by Huan Yuanzi, which was completely different from this state army!

When this army marched forward, they didn't hear any shouts of killing, only endless silence, the silence made people's backs go numb.

"Who is this method of training soldiers?"

Before he could figure it out, another team appeared, and the leader was Gao Yi.

Unlike the Bamboo Spear Formation, Gao Yu's battle formation looks loose, but it looks like gossip when viewed from above. As long as you break into it, you will definitely die!

This kind of battle formation is slightly different from the one passed down by Gao Yuzu, but the lethality is obviously greater.

After the contest in the martial arts arena, I will prove this point again.

However, this was the first time he was going to battle, and he was fighting hand to hand with the Di soldiers. Gao Yu didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't have time to arrange the formation completely. He could only follow Huan Rong's order, took the opportunity to set up the formation to hold back the Di soldiers, and quickly circled behind the Di soldiers. Set up an interception to cut off the fleeing Di soldiers. If they don't run fast enough, they all stay!

Yang Liang could see clearly from the top of the city, he couldn't help being startled, sweating profusely, the hand holding the sword hilt kept clenching tightly, his knuckles turned white with such force.

"Huan family, Huan family!"

On the battlefield, Yang An's heart sank as well, from surprise to panic, but only a few breaths.

Riding on a war horse and watching the fight in the city, he could judge that the battle formation formed by the Jin soldiers was not complete.If there is enough time to fight head-on, the thousands of people under his command may lose more than half.

"withdraw troops!"

Seeing that hundreds of Di soldiers were intercepted, there were battle formations ahead and pursuers behind, and 300% of them could not be rescued, Yang An made a decisive decision and ordered the withdrawal of troops.After leaving [-] people, the rest retreated at full speed.

Huan Rong accepted Jia Bing's suggestion, and instead of ordering a chase, he took down all the broken and intercepted Di people, then ordered the cavalry to guard, and the infantry began to sweep the battlefield.

The sound of shouting and killing quickly disappeared, leaving only fallen corpses and broken weapons on the battlefield.

Several war horses broke their front legs and neighed as they tried to stand up.

After the health servant who took care of the horses checked, he shook his head at the state soldiers.The latter understood, one of them hugged the horse's neck, and covered the horse's eyes with his palm, while the other raised his long knife, and the neighing stopped abruptly as the blade fell down.

A military vehicle appeared on the battlefield. The wheels rolled over the dirt road, flattened several piles of dirt, and made a creaking sound.

Huan Rong pushed open the car door, sat comfortably in the car, raised his eyes to look at the city, there was no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Not long after, the crumbling city gate finally opened.

Wearing armor, Yang Liang and his son walked out of the city, followed by state officials and powerful men, and walked solemnly in front of the military chariot, only stopping five steps away.

"Pu You State Inspector Liang, I have met Duke Huainan!"

Both of them are Assassin envoys, they are at the upper rank of the fourth rank, so they should have equal status.However, Huanrong has the Duke of the county, holds Youzhou and Yuzhou in his hands, holds festivals, and is appointed by the imperial court to conquer the west, and his actual status is already higher than Yang Liang.

Coupled with the fact that leading the troops to help and repelling the Di people this time has saved the lives of the whole city, it is only natural for Yang Liang to take the initiative to put down his figure and lower his posture.

Huan Rong didn't put on airs, nor did he intend to embarrass him.

No matter what disagreements this person has with Huan Da Sima, the purpose of my trip is to win over and take the opportunity to consolidate Huan's power in the west, not to further enmity.

"Yang Shijun is polite." Huan Rong bent down and walked out of the carriage, and jumped off the shaft neatly, his long sleeves vibrating, and the colorful treasures on the leather bezel were shining brightly under the scorching sun.

With both feet on the ground, Huan Rong returned the salute to Yang Liang, turned his gaze to the official and powerful man standing beside Yang Liang, and nodded slightly, with handsome features and a gentle smile, he looked like a refined gentleman.

Everyone was in a trance for a while.

No matter how you think about it, you can't connect this handsome man with the bloody battlefield.

Seeing Huan Rong's attitude, Yang Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and introduced his companions to Huan Rong. When he mentioned the son who led the army to attack Qiuchi, he carefully observed Huan Rong's expression. A little complicated, but not outrageous.

Not wanting his son to be held accountable, Yang Liang gritted his teeth and bent down, hoping that Huan Rong would forgive him.The meaning between the lines is that as long as the son can be kept, his father and son will definitely vote for the Huan family, but Huan Rong is the first to follow.

"Mr. Yang please get up!"

Huan Rong helped Yang Liang up, knowing that he was distracted just now and gave the other party a wrong perception.Fortunately, there were mistakes, and he didn't need to speak up, the other party had already patted his chest to make a promise, and jumped into the bowl on his own initiative.

The disaster was indeed caused by the father and son, and the crime was definitely not small if it was reported to the court.

Of course, if Yang Liang and his son could defeat Qiu Chi, the result would be completely different.The reality is that they did not lay down a territory, but instead attracted Di soldiers to the city, losing soldiers and generals, and causing disasters for the people in the territory.

A few years ago, Huan Rong would not have helped to hide it, but now... Envoy Huan sighed secretly, with a smile on his face, holding Yang Liang's arm in front of Liangzhou's civil, military and powerful, and comforting him gently.He didn't make his words too clear on the spot, but the goodwill he released couldn't be faked.

In this way, not only Yang Liang and his son, but also the civil and military tycoons who accompanied him were clearly relaxed, and they were no longer as tense as before.

The dispatch of troops to Qiu Chi this time was definitely not decided by Yang Liang alone, and everyone in Liangzhou was more or less involved.

Huan Rong can ignore Yang Liang's request, but in this way, he will stand on the opposite side of the state officials and tyrants.Weighing left and right, we can only make a compromise choice and keep Yang Liang and his son. As for the rest, we can leave it for later discussion.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Liang invited Huan Rong into the city to throw a banquet for him, but the latter declined.

"The bandit Di retreated this time, and he was unwilling to be reconciled, so he led his troops again. Rong wanted to station troops outside the city, and echoed with Yang Shijun, so that he could calmly deal with the enemy's attack. When Shijun returned to the city at this moment, he could strengthen the city's defenses. If you are short of manpower, you can borrow three hundred troops."

Huan Rong had a gentle smile, full of sincerity.

Yang Liang was so grateful that he accepted the [-] soldiers lent by Huan Rong and led them back to the city.

Watching the group return, Huan Rong boarded the chariot again, leaned against the wall of the chariot and closed his eyes to rest.

Recalling that he was distracted just now, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

I really can't blame him for this matter, who knew that Yang Liang would name his son Yang Guang?

However, in some respects, the two are similar.Love of beauty is one thing, and arbitrariness is another.If it wasn't for Yang Guang's inflated confidence, but to follow Yang Liang's plan, maybe there would be nothing wrong with him.

"Things are unpredictable."
