Huan Rong

"Kill Huan Jingdao."

The five words echoed in his ears, Yang Guang's expression was gloomy for a moment, he stared at the counselor closely, the word "Chuan" twisted between his brows, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Why, Mr. Lang still has concerns?" Scribe said.

"Worries? More than just concerns!"

Yang Guang sneered repeatedly, turned around and sat opposite the scribes, and said word by word: "Lu Yan, don't rely on how talented you are. After learning the art of war from Wang Jinglue for a few days, you think that everyone in the world is a fool and can be played by you. In the palm of your hand."

"Why did you say that, Sir?" Being ridiculed face to face, Lu Yan didn't take it seriously at all, let alone the slightest bit of anger. He still had a smile on his face, and his tone didn't change.

"how you said that?"

Yang Guang clenched his fists and beat the ground fiercely, staring at Lu Yan like a wolf, and said viciously: "Kill Huan Jingdao? It's easy to say! Don't mention how to do it, just what will happen to me after I kill him, can I be safe? You may not even know it when you walk out of Liangzhou City! What kind of title, what kind of official worship, are all jokes!"

When a person is dead, what's the use of being an official?

"Lang Jun misunderstood." Lu Yan sighed and explained, "Prime Minister Wang regards Lang Jun as a hero, and he is sincerely recruiting him. How can he let Lang Jun die in vain?"

"Oh?" Yang Guang was full of disbelief, put his hand on the hilt of the sword again, stared at Lu Yan gloomyly, and said, "If you ask me to kill Huan Jingdao, what is it if you don't die in vain?"

"Wang Jinglue made a good idea. I killed Huan Jingdao, and then I was beheaded by Youzhou soldiers. There will be chaos in Liangzhou City, and even affect Jingzhou and Jiangzhou. When the time comes, he can send troops and generals to take advantage of the chaos and move south. Take Liangzhou, and even invade Jingzhou!"

"Lu Yan, although I am not a great talent, I am not a three-year-old either!"

Lu Yan shook his head again and again, wanting to speak out, but couldn't find a chance to intervene.

The more Yang Guang said, the more angry he became, the veins bulged on his forehead, and he said angrily: "I said just now that everyone in the world is an idiot! Now that Huan Jingdao is out with troops, he may capture Qiuchi at any time, even if he doesn't, there are still several counties that can be included in Liangzhou. At that time, Youzhou soldiers are blocking the city, how can I escape?!"

"You clearly want to borrow a knife to kill someone, and then use a stone to break the knife, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Lang Jun, would you like to listen to what I have to say?" Lu Yan put away her smile and said seriously, "It's definitely not what you think, it's really a misunderstanding."

"It's really a misunderstanding?" Yang Guang sneered, and said forcefully, "Let me kill Huan Jingdao, it's obvious that the Di soldiers will be defeated. You can't deal with Youzhou soldiers, so try to lure me to be a scapegoat, don't even think about it!"

"Lang Jun, this statement is over." Lu Yan shook his head and said.

"Passed? How did you call it?" Yang Guang continued to sneer, and with a clang, the sword came out of its sheath, put it on Lu Yan's neck for the second time, and said gloomyly, "Lu Yan, Wang Jinglue really counted everything. how?"

"What does your lord mean?"

"If I take you down and hand it over to Huan Jingdao, is that a great achievement?" Yang Guang said with a sneer on his face, "The son of Di Thief Taiwei Lu Polou is worth a thousand taels of gold. Maybe the family lord can still be the assassin of Liangzhou, and I can also be the prefect of a place."

Lu Yan's expression finally changed, and he looked at Yang Guang for a moment, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and his lips were almost pursed into a straight line.

Yang Guang pointed out his identity, not necessarily because he really wanted to take him down on the spot, maybe he was just bargaining for more benefits for himself.If not, there should be a tiger breaking through the door right now, tying him up and sending him to Yang Liang.

Thinking back and forth a few times, Lu Yan suddenly relaxed his expression, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to test me, sir? You may as well tell him, if you ask him to do it, he will arrange for a response, and there will be a scapegoat after the matter is done. With a little preparation, Mr. Lang, you can leave the city calmly."

"Oh?" Yang Guang's men pressed hard on Lu Yan's neck with the blade, and if he moved forward a little more, his neck could be cut open, and the blood splashed on the spot.

"You mean, there are spies buried in Liangzhou City?"

Lu Yan nodded.

There is nothing to hide about this.

The world has been in chaos for a long time, and the regimes of various ethnic groups have appeared alternately.After the Yongjia Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty perished, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was partial to the south, which was still regarded as orthodox.Lord Di has the ambition to dominate the world, so it is not surprising that he sent people to spy on information and even hibernate.

In contrast, the nearby Qin family inherited from the late Qin Dynasty, and the power lurking in various places should not be underestimated.

Wang Meng once said that if you want to unify the world, you must first unify the north; and if you want to unify the north, Murong Xianbei and Qin's Wubao must be swept away!

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Murong Xianbei was destroyed overnight, but he was not destroyed by Fu Jian, but by Qin Ce.

As one of Di Qin's main enemies, Qin's Wubao took the opportunity to grow bigger, and Qin Ce became king, taking over the territory and population left by Murong Xianbei, surpassing Di Qin in terms of territory and strength in a blink of an eye.

If Fu Jian takes Zhang Liang and unifies the Western Regions, the two sides may be evenly matched.

However, since the fifth year of Taihe, everything has gone wrong in the court, and there have been many wars on the Diqin border, and there is little peace.

All the tribes in Rouran raised their troops one after another, Qin Ce approached and ate from the east layer by layer, Shi Yiqiang took Guzang to stand on his own, and Wang Meng's previous efforts were all in vain.

Adding up the piles one by one, a talented man like Fu Jian and resourceful like Wang Meng is also devastated.

Now, Shuofang Hou died of illness, and the imperial court immediately dispatched troops to stabilize the border and prevent the Huns from invading.Unexpectedly, before the Xiongnu sent troops, Qin Jing led the Xianbei cavalry to kill them.

In the past two months, they have been trapped in several lands, and they do not occupy the city, but only set fire to kill people blindly, which is more vicious than the barbarians.

The number of Di people who died in Qin Jing's hands was less than [-], and there were several thousand. The vicious reputation is frightening.

Every time the smoke rose, the nearby guards did not immediately send reinforcements, but immediately called back the patrolling cavalry, closed the city gates, and strictly guarded against death, for fear that if one was not careful, he would become the soul of Qin Jing's gun.

Chang'an received an urgent report, and Qin Jing's team had grown to 5000 people.

Except for the Xianbei cavalry who followed him out of Changli, joined the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, and Chile on the way, and burned, killed and looted all the way, the Di people in the north were restless every day and couldn't sleep at night. Stop children crying at night.

Chang'an wanted to send reinforcements, but the leaders of the various ministries pushed back and forth, finding excuses to shirk, and no one wanted to take the people of the tribe to the border to die.

In desperation, he simply clamored to lead his troops away, but Fu Jian cruelly killed two of them, not only failed to deter them, but caused even greater backlash.

When he was in a hurry, Wang Meng stood up dragging his sick body. He made a point of righteousness and made clear the serious relationship. He even said to the leader and general who yelled the most: "Qin Ce is in the east, and his son is attacking the north. If you let it go, Ye The lesson from the city is not far away!"

There are no eggs under the covering nest.

Can dodge the first day of the first day, but not the fifteenth day.

Thinking about preserving his strength now, he will also have to face the Qin family's army in the future.By that time, the Qin family's strength must be far superior to today's.

"In just two months, Qin Xuanmin disturbed the border and increased his cavalry to five thousand. Don't you gentlemen understand what this means?"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, everyone was silent.

In the end, it was Taiwei Lu Polou who asked to lead the army to the north.

When Lu Polou stood up, the others naturally couldn't be quails with their heads bowed, and no matter if they were sincere or not, they all asked for a fight.

Wang Meng asked Fu Jian to appoint Lu Guang, the eldest son of Lu Polou, as Shuofang prefect and general Dingyuan, and led eight thousand troops to Beiping to calm the chaos.

As soon as Lu Fang left Chang'an, Liangzhou sent an urgent report that Yang An, the assassin, was ordered to withdraw his troops, and Huan Rong, the governor of Huainan County in Jin Dynasty and Huan Rong, the assassin of Youzhou, led the troops in pursuit. They went down several counties along the way, and Wudu County had changed hands. , Qiu Chi is also at stake.

When the thunder struck, Manchu Wenwu didn't react for a long time.

After Yang An led his troops to the south, news of success came frequently, saying that Liangzhou City would soon fall, and resisted the imperial court's order to withdraw troops. ?

The changes are too fast, completely beyond the tolerance of everyone.

Fu Jian was furious.

If both Wudu and Qiuchi are lost, the west side of Chang'an will be opened, and Jin soldiers will occupy this place, and the threat can be imagined.

Coughing, Wang Meng tightened his brows, seeing that everyone had lost their minds and just blindly asked for reinforcements. Fu Jian also had the same intention, sighed silently, and reluctantly echoed.

After the court meeting was over, they met in private and made plans for Fu Jian face-to-face, increasing troops in the open and forcing Huan Rong to retreat; Let Yi Jin mess up for the last time.

"Extraordinary times and extraordinary laws."

Wang Meng really didn't want to use this kind of insidious trick.But under the pressure of the situation, Diqin was besieged on all sides, and he survived day and night. There was really no better way out, so he had to do something.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, this matter could not be announced in the court, except for Fu Jian Wang Meng, only Lu Yan who was ordered to go south knew about it.

Lu Polou has the merits of following the dragon, and his wealth and life are tied to Fu Jian, and his loyalty is unquestionable.

Lu Yan is Wang Meng's student, and he is also trustworthy to follow him to learn the art of war.Sending him south to persuade Yang Liang and his son, Wang Meng was full of confidence.

Lu Yan sneaked into Liangzhou under the order, met with the spies who had been dormant in advance, and knew everything in the city. Instead of looking for Yang Liang as planned, he went to Yang Guang around the bush, hoping to persuade him, looking for an opportunity to attack Huan Rong, and mess up Liang first. State, and then chaos Jiankang.

In this way, there is the previous scene.

But what Lu Yan didn't expect was that Yang Guang was not as stupid as expected, and it was really hard to convince him not to pay some "price".

After careful consideration, Lu Yan decided to reveal a hole card in order to convince Yang Guang that after the matter is completed, he will be able to go north safely and enjoy half his life in glory and wealth.

Of course, the premise is that Di Qin has always existed and has not been wiped out by other regimes.

"Are you serious?" Guessing the meaning of Lu Yan's words, Yang Guang was surprised and gasped on the spot. There were Di Qin's spies in the prefecture office?

"In front of your lord, I don't dare to lie." Lu Yan said with a smile, "In order to avoid complications, I can't tell you who the person is for the time being. I just ask you to believe that when things come to fruition, you will be able to protect your lord." Junping left Liangzhou and headed north to Chang'an!"

After finishing the words, Lu Yan took out a pottery bottle from his bosom.

The body of the bottle is small, sealed with wax, what is hidden inside, needless to say.

"A spoonful of wine can seal the throat."

Lu Yan put down the vase, Yang Guang hesitated.After a long time, he finally suppressed the hesitation in his heart, tightened his cheeks, and put the pottery bottle into his sleeve.

"Lang Jun is wise!"

"Don't worry, I still have one condition." Yang Guang said.

"Lang Jun, just say it." Lu Yan smiled.

"You said that the spies of all the Di people in Zhouzhi have red mouths and white teeth, and there is no evidence. If they are lying, I have no way of verifying them." After a pause, Yang Guang said word by word, "I want you to leave a letter and write King Jinglue of Ming Dynasty promised to get your signature and private seal."

"This……"

"Why? Are you worried?" Yang Guang looked at Lu Yan closely, "This condition is not too much. If you can't do it, then forget everything you said before! Come..."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Yan stopped Yang Guang and said, "Don't worry, sir, I promise."

"good!"

Yang Guang personally fetched the bamboo slips, pen and ink for Lu Yan without the need of a maidservant, watched him write down his handwriting, stamped his private seal, and confirmed that it was correct, before nodding in satisfaction.

"The servant will return to the north in a few days, and when he arrives in Chang'an, he will definitely inform the lord and the prime minister of his intention of helping each other."

"Okay." Yang Guang nodded and said, "I can't send Brother Lu in person, forgive me!"

"Your Majesty is polite."

Lu Yan stood up and saluted, and was led by a healthy servant, leaving the other courtyard where Yang Guang received him.

As soon as he left, there was a sudden noise from behind the wall of the guest room, and then, the wooden wall suddenly slid to one side, revealing a dark room, in which Yang Liang was sitting impressively!

"Father."

Yang Guang took two steps forward, and passed the bamboo slip left by Lu Yan with both hands.

"Sure enough, my father was right. The bandit Di conspired to take Huan Jingdao's life, intending to disrupt Liangzhou, provoke the Huan family, and cause chaos in Jiankang."

Yang Liang walked out of the dark room, took the seat before Yang Guang, and said, "Sit down, son."

"promise."

"You had a lot of resentment towards Huan Jingdao before, have you let it go this time?"

Yang Guang didn't say a word, he clenched his fist tightly, and took a long breath, after all, he didn't lie in front of his own father.

"Returning to my father, my son is still dissatisfied with Huan Jingdao. However, my son was born in the Han family, and the Han family is loyal! It is one thing to fight against Huan Jingdao, but it is another thing to fight against the Hu thief."

Biting the tip of his tongue, he tasted a hint of rust, and Yang Guang's voice was low.

"No matter whether Liangzhou is still in Father's hands or not, no matter whether Son can vent his grievances or not, Er will always remember that Er is a son of the Han family!"

After the words fell, Yang Guang shook his head, his forehead touched the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

He is indeed narrow-minded, self-willed, and likes to strive for success, but he can always keep his identity in mind in the face of big right and wrong.

He is a descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong, a descendant of the Han family!

vote Hu?

Never do it!

Not to mention that it will be recorded in the history books in the future, but at this moment, the Yang family will be cast aside by everyone, and he will become the sinner of the whole family!

Yang Liang got up slowly, pressed Yang Guang's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "After this matter, I will go to the imperial court to resign as the assassin of Liangzhou."

"Father..." Yang Guang widened his eyes and wanted to speak, but Yang Liang stopped him.

"Huan Jing Dao has a good reputation, and he has the talent of managing the world. Now he governs two states and has nearly ten thousand soldiers in his hand. From my perspective, his ambition may not be inferior to that of his father."

Yang Liang withdrew his hand, looked at the startled Yang Guang, and said: "Huan Yuanzi was a hero in his early years, but he was burdened by fame in his later years, and he was a soldier. He was not accepted by the Jiankang gentry. Huan Jingdao is not the case."

"Father," Yang Guang swallowed, "he..."

"Huan Jingdao has the blood of the Jin family, and his mother is the eldest princess of the Jin family. In his early years, he studied under the great Confucianism of the Zhou family, and was praised as a good talent and beautiful jade."

"When the Duke of Haixi County was in power, there was a rumor in Taicheng that he didn't get ten points for his father, but he knew five or six points."

Having said that, Yang Liang suddenly stopped, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Azi, Qin has lost its deer, and the whole world will chase after it."

After finishing speaking, Yang Liang sighed deeply, "Let people look at Lu Yan, the state government has its own father, be careful not to show traces."

"promise!"

"According to what he said, Chang'an may have to send troops. We need to send people to Wudu to deliver a letter to Duke Huainan."

"promise!"

"When the Duke of Huainan comes back, there may be another good show." Yang Liang put his hands behind his back and smiled coldly, "Wang Fu Jian underestimated my father and son so much, he must teach them a lesson!"

Yang Guang promised again, with a ruthless look on his expression.

At the same time, Qin Jing led his cavalry into Shuofang City.

It is true that cavalry are not good at attacking cities, but in the severe drought in the north, the people in the city must go outside the city to fetch water, otherwise the soldiers will die of thirst.In addition, there were miscellaneous Hus as internal responses, and while the city gate was open, they beheaded the Di soldiers who pushed the noose, and used wooden sticks to support the winch wheel, making the city gate unable to close.

Thick smoke rose, and the cavalry ambushing outside the city received the signal, and immediately galloped their horses, rushing in through the city gate roaring.

The defenders were caught off guard, and most of them were killed with a single knife. Their bodies rolled under the hooves of the horses, and they were trampled into a pulp in a blink of an eye.

Qin Jing took the lead and swept his spears, and all the Di soldiers who were blocked on the way were killed on the spot.

One of the team leaders was unlucky, a gun head was pierced through the chest, and he was taken along with him, screaming, and blood was splashed like rain.

Seeing this scene, the Xianbei and Huns shouted wildly, their eyes flushed with excitement.

"King Khan!"

I don't know who shouted this sentence, and more and more people joined in. The cavalry who entered the city shouted in unison, and the shouts instantly overwhelmed Di Bing's screams.

The last Di soldier died under the spear, and a group of cavalry held torches and threw them into the former prefect's mansion and barracks.

The fire was raging, and the Han people and miscellaneous Hus in the city were gathered together, and some of them were sent back to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Qin family. Those who could mount a horse with a knife and shoot a bow would join the cavalry team on the spot and fight together with five thousand cavalry.

The raging fire illuminated the armor on Qin Jing's body.

The heads of the generals defending the city were carried on the spears, the Xianbei cavalry and the Hun cavalry roared like wolves, and Chile and Zahu drew their bowstrings and struck the scabbards one after another.

In the light of the fire, thick smoke billowed up, and the roar of "King Khan" resounded throughout the northern land.
