Huan Rong

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the tent, Chinese and military are a little drunk.

Push cups and cups between each other, and the generals will catch up with each other and compete with each other.The words are to the point, but when meeting opponents, from fists and feet to short pawns, then from short pawns to long pawns, and even "discussing" outside the tent regardless of the wind and snow, they got a little angry when they fought.

With a red face, Xu Chao opened his clothes and stood opposite Xia Houyan.

As early as in Chang'an Palace, he found this kid very unpleasant.Do you think that the emperor is weak and looks down on the generals of Youzhou?It is clearly arrogant and self-proclaimed, defiant!

That being the case, a certain family will take your prestige seriously and let you see what it means to shoot stones and drink feathers, and turn the world upside down!

Zhou Yan and Qian Shixi attacked Yang, but they were not by Huan Rong's side.Wei Qi was guarding the camp again. Among the entourage, Xu Chao had the best archery skills. He couldn't pierce Yang with a hundred strides, but he could also shoot double shots. It was hard for ordinary generals to match.

Regardless of the strong wind and snow, the two stood still in front of the tent and ordered people to set up targets beside the fire.Then they each fetched their strong bows, stretched out their bows and set an arrow, staring at the target in the distance, after a few breaths, they let go of the bowstrings almost at the same time.

Amidst the buzzing sound, the sharp arrow split the snow curtain, tore through the strong wind, pierced the wooden rake with two aggressive sounds, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Blocked by the wind, the arrows flew off, and both of them failed to hit the bull's-eye, both showing resentment.Shooting three arrows in a row, the landing points are very close, the nearest one is less than half an inch away from the bull's-eye, which fully proves his extraordinary ability.

The soldiers moved the wooden rake, and everyone was amazed.

"Xu Sima is really amazing!"

"Lord Xiahou is very polite!"

Having seen the target, we know that we are equal, no matter how many arrows we shoot.Xu Chao and Xia Houyan put away their strong bows, and on the surface they talked and laughed, but in fact they were dissatisfied with each other, and they looked at each other with provocative and murderous eyes.

The wind and snow became bigger, almost blinding people's eyes.

Everyone immediately moved back to the tent, and the cook brought hot soup, sprinkled with pepper and shallots, it was a little hot, but it just dispelled the cold hands and feet.

After drinking hot soup, it's getting late.

When the banquet was almost over, Huan Rong got up to bid farewell and left.

If you stay in the city, it's fine, but if you camp outside the city, it's really not easy for Huan Rong to stay.

Furthermore, the covenant belongs to the covenant, and the two sides are not in the same camp, they are guarding against each other.If Huan Rong didn't come back from the banquet, there was no guarantee that the thousand Youzhou soldiers stationed outside the city would not be suspicious, thinking that the Qin family had malicious intentions and would kill them regardless.

Misunderstandings arose, and the two sides started fighting, and the cheapest one could only be the Di thief hiding in the dark.

"Farewell."

Huan Rong drank two altars of fine wine, still conscious, chatting and laughing freely.It's just a slight blush at the corners of the eyes and the tip of the brow, which makes the brows more ink-stained, with a handsome appearance, and more carefree and unrestrained actions.

"Jingdao, stop for now." Qin Jing stepped forward half a step and said out loud.

"Brother Qin, what's the matter?" Huan Rong looked around with surprise on his face.Xu Chao and Dian Kui stood three steps away, seeing him being stopped by Qin Jing, they couldn't help but look serious, and they were about to step forward.

"May I take a step to speak?" Qin Jing continued.

After deliberating for a moment, Huan Rong nodded, raised his arms to stop Xu Chao Diankui, shook his head at Zhong Lin, and followed Qin Jing back to the tent.

At that time, the low couch had been removed, and the crooked wine jar had been removed.

The flames in the brazier were dim, and the air was still filled with the aroma of wine.

The curtain was lowered, Huan Rong stood still near the tent door, raised his eyes to Qin Jing, and waited for the other party to speak.Caught off guard, the next moment he was caught by his upper arm and crashed into a hard chest.

The whole person was wrapped in a cold breath, and Huan Rong was stunned for a moment.There was a buzzing in my head, and I couldn't react for a while, what was going on in front of me.

"Qin..."

Unable to utter the second half of the sentence, a big hand suddenly held the back of his neck, and his callused fingertips brushed behind his ears, causing an inexplicable tremor.

Qin Jing still didn't make a sound, clasped Huan Rong's waist with one arm, lowered her head, two dark fires ignited in the depths of her eyes.

Huan Rong's brain was buzzing, and his heart was beating like a drum.

The lips slowly moved closer, and the warm breath slid over the lips, slightly itching.The breathing became heavier unconsciously, the teeth bit her lower lip, and the eye circles were a little red.

"Respect..."

The deep breath came to the eardrums, Huan Rong closed his eyes forcefully, opened them again, and gave Qin Jing a vicious look.She clasped the back of his head with one hand, wrapped his neck with the other, and pressed his lips hard.

It was hardly a kiss, more like an angry bite between beasts.

The teeth collided, and the sound was clearly audible.

Scars were left on the lips, and the sharp pain became stronger and stronger, but no one was willing to back down, as if there was an endless wrestling.

The breath blends together, and the spicy alcohol smell is exchanged between the lips and teeth.

Huan Rong stepped back a little, gasping for breath, his heart beating unusually fast, as if he had just finished a marathon.When the breath stabilized a bit, he raised his eyes to see Qin Jing's appearance, he was both a little proud and a little worried.

The gentleman is like jade, with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.

The red lips were slightly swollen, and a row of clear tooth marks were left on the lower lip, with a few bloodshot spots.

Carried away.

Huan Rong groaned, annoyed, but not regretful.

The fingertips brushed Qin Jing's lower lip, and it was stained with a dark red unexpectedly.Just as he was about to take it back, his wrist was suddenly grabbed, and his blood-stained fingertips quickly felt a touch of warmth.

Qin Jing lowered her eyes, her lips fell on Huan Rong's palm, and the tip of her tongue stuck out, sweeping away the blood on her fingertips.

Gudong.

Huan Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

In this situation, should he rush or not?

Seeming to see what he was thinking, Qin Jing raised the corners of her mouth with a charming smile.The arms clasped around Huan Rong's waist kept tightening, and he could feel the scalding heat through the robe.

"Brother Rong." The deep voice hit the eardrum, soft as velvet, like a cello playing slowly.

A numbness shot up from his back, Huan Rong clenched his molars, grabbed Qin Jing's collar, and blocked his lips again.

voice control! ?

When did he become a voice control? !

The temperature in the tent keeps rising, making people almost forget where they are.

Qin Yu's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "Brother, respect?"

His sanity came back in an instant, Huan Rong opened his eyes suddenly, and his chaotic brain instantly returned to sobriety.Involuntarily shivering, subconsciously took half a step back.

Looking at Qin Jing's appearance, he knew what was going on with him.

Huan Rong felt annoyed again, looked at the half-opened curtain, and found Qin Jun standing beside the curtain, staring at the two of them dumbfounded.

"Brother...respect?" Qin Jun almost couldn't find his voice.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Qin Jing's expression was natural, and the tone of his voice returned to normal.

"You just..."

"Rong was drunk, luckily Brother Qin gave him a little help." Huan Rong licked his lower lip with the back of his hand to cover it, and said with a smile, "It's getting late, and it's time for Rong to go back to camp, so I won't bother you any more."

When the words fell, Huan Rong was about to take a step, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head, looked at Qin Jing seriously, and said solemnly: "I hope Brother Qin can continue to abide by the agreement before. As long as Brother Qin keeps the promise, Rong will also keep it." promise!"

"Okay." Qin Jing nodded, personally sent Huan Rong out of the tent, and then watched him board the car and leave, all the way out of the camp.

After the military chariot had traveled far, the torches turned into dots of fluorescent light in the night, and the gate of the camp was closed.

Before returning to the account, Qin Jun called Qin Jing, looked at the brother who was looking over, hesitated to speak, with a bit of hesitation in his expression.

"Brother, are you with Envoy Huan?"

"What do you want to say, brother?" Qin Jing asked.

"I..." Qin Yu frowned, scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment, looked left and right, pulled Qin Jing back into the account, and said in a low voice, "Well, the two of you are on good terms?"

Qin Jing looked at Qin Yu playfully, and said, "Brother, is this what you want to talk about?"

"No, I, that..." Qin Yu was at a loss for words.

"Brother, when I respected Taoism and the crown, I wrote to my mother and presented it with a phoenix hairpin."

With a click, Qin Erlang's jaw fell to the ground.

"I don't think so."

"Brother, what do you think?" Qin Jing smiled, with a bit of wantonness and sadness in his smile, "Don't worry, brother, I will not forget that I am the son of the Qin family, I will not forget the ancestral precepts of the Qin family, let alone will forget their responsibilities."

"Brother..." Qin Yu's voice was hoarse.

"I have an appointment with Jingdao. In the future, I will have a showdown on the battlefield. Before that, I will help my father to unify the northern land, sweep the Central Plains, and live up to the ancestors of the Qin family."

Qin Yu was silent.

Looking at Qin Jing like this, it felt like a stone was stuck in her throat, complex emotions surged up, and finally all turned into endless sorrow.

If you want to speak, you can only make a single sound in your mouth.

After trying twice and failing, Qin Jue simply rubbed his face hard, pressed Qin Jing's shoulder, pressed his five fingers hard, and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I will help you!"

"Brother," Qin Jing clasped Qin Jun's wrist and said with a smile, "Why is this so? In a troubled world, who can be safe if he lives today and dies tomorrow? Just like this Chang'an City, which was founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Qin and Han Dynasties were the capitals, It has existed for thousands of years. However, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, in just 200 years, it has changed hands several times.”

Qin Yu sighed deeply, "What do you want to say?"

"Jing Dao once said that man will conquer heaven." Qin Jing still smiled, "As far as I am concerned, as long as I am alive, I will do my best to end the troubled times, restore the land of China, and give the people of the Central Plains peace."

"You can't create a prosperous world with your own hands, but you can always drive out thieves, give the foundation of future generations, and restore peace to the world."

Slowly putting away her smile, Qin Jing looked at Qin Yu seriously, and said, "Brother, would you like to help me?"

"Okay!" Qin Yu nodded heavily, raised his right hand, "high five as an oath."

There were three crisp sounds, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, their hearty laughter piercing through the wind and snow.

On the way back to Daying, Huan Rong felt drunk, pinched his forehead, really didn't want to talk, so he just leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest.Zhong Lin drank two sips of the tea soup, suppressed some alcohol, thought about the business routes in the Western Regions and the discussion with the Qin family, but also remained silent.

After a long time, the speed of the car began to slow down, and familiar orders were heard in my ears.

Huan Rong opened his eyes, opened the car window, saw the bonfire in the camp, and unconsciously burst into a smile.

"Kong Yu."

"promise."

"Tomorrow and day after tomorrow, General Qin will definitely send someone to come." Huan Rong turned his head, half of his face was illuminated by the lamp, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see very clearly, "How to negotiate, does Kong Yu have a plan?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ming, Lin will live up to his trust."

"Good." Huan Rong didn't ask carefully, but just smiled, "In any case, the commercial routes of the Western Regions must be connected, and Fufeng, Lueyang, and Longxi must be in my hands."

"Minggong, don't worry." Zhong Lin said seriously, "Based on Minggong's previous conditions, [-]% of the Qin family will be tempted."

"That's good."

The military chariot drove into the gate of the camp, Wei Qi was patrolling the camp, and Ma Liang stepped forward to return.

"My envoy, more than a hundred Chang'an fathers and elders came to vote before, and according to what they said, they caught two thieves and remnants."

"Okay." Huan Rong nodded, approving, "You've worked hard."

"This is what the servants should do, and I dare not be praised by the envoy."

"Can the people be settled properly?" Huan Rong asked.

"According to the envoy's previous instructions, tents have been set up outside the left camp, and drinking water has also been distributed."

"How to deal with the remnants of the bandits?"

"They are all bound in prison bars, and will be released when the envoy returns."

Huan Rong pondered for a moment, and said: "Order to go down, the people will record the names and places of origin, ten people will be the guarantee, and all those who are not suspicious will be kept. If there is any doubt, send it to the Qin family's camp together with the Di thief."

Send it to Qin's camp?

Ma Liang frowned, his face was puzzled.Dian Kui and Xu Chao looked at Huan Rong at the same time, both were puzzled by Huan Shijun's decision.

"It was the Qin clan who captured Chang'an." Huan Rong tightened his cloak and said solemnly, "I want to take Fufeng and other places, and maintaining the alliance with the Qin clan is very important. These Di soldiers are useless, and staying here will only increase them." Labor. If you don't send it to Qin's camp, it will show some sincerity."

Ma Liang and the other three looked stunned, and immediately began to arrange without asking any more questions.

Zhong Lin smiled and said, "Master Ming is wise."

"Wise?" Huan Rong shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just about knowing the current affairs."

That's not quite the right word, but it's not bad either.

Whether he is good or Qin Jing, he pays more attention to the overall situation than personal friendship.It is too much to say that they are ruthless and ungrateful, and it does not mean that each other regards feelings as child's play.

If you want to stand in troubled times, reason always comes first.

Desperate for feelings?

To be honest, Huan Rong really couldn't do it.His head was pinched by a door, kicked by a donkey, or even poured with a few ladles of water, but he still couldn't do it.

Qin Jing is more rational than him.

To be honest, Qin Silang is more like a hero than him.Huan Rong can be sure that when they meet on the battlefield in the future, the opponent's subordinates will never show mercy.

Touch your chest, should you feel "heartache" when you encounter this situation?

What's the matter with this sudden excitement?

Sure enough, after staying in troubled times for a long time, even if you don't drink cold food, there will be problems with the brain circuit.

Huan Rong's car drove back to the camp, and the camp gate was immediately closed.

The two military chariots were pushed to the front of the camp gate, the baffles were opened, and the soldiers climbed onto the roof of the chariots, with torches set up, forming two simple watchtowers.

Outside the left camp, in more than a dozen tents, the people from Chang’an who had defected crowded around the brazier, with hot soup in front of them, steamed buns and buns in their hands, and were devouring them hungrily.

Several other women soaked the steamed cake until soft and fed it to the baby in their arms.

The Qin clan besieged the city for three months, and Chang'an was about to run out of food, and many people died in the city, and they couldn't make it to today.They escaped by chance, but instead of going to the Qin family, they came straight to Huan Rong's camp.

The reason is that the old man at the head recognized the leather armor of the Jin soldiers, and thinking about the time when Huan Da Sima led the army to the Northern Expedition, he made a decisive decision and brought his tribe and family to join him.

Although the Qin family is Han Chinese, the Jin family in the south is regarded as orthodox.Coupled with the natural disasters in the north, next year's life will definitely be even more difficult. After some discussion, everyone decided to leave the north and move to the south.

"I heard that You and Jing prefectures in the south are recruiting craftsmen and artisan slaves. Although we are not very skilled, we know some carpentry and blacksmithing skills. If it is not good enough, go to the salt field workshops in Yandu and Sheyang. It's better to try your luck than wait to die of starvation."

Along with the merchants traveling north and south, news of Youzhou continued to spread.

At first, people didn't believe that a state is still a border, thank God if it doesn't suffer from military disasters, how can it feed so many refugees?

However, as the days passed, more and more news spread, and there were sheep slaves who had fled south before, and they traveled around with the Youzhou caravan. There were fewer and fewer unbelievers, and the rumors about Youzhou gradually spread. confirmed.

It's not surprising that these people defected to Youzhou soldiers.

After the city of Chang'an was broken, the Di people and some Zahu fled north, while most of the Han people stayed.

For the population of Chang'an, Mr. Huan has been envious for a long time. He thought that he would have to negotiate and pay a certain price to exchange it. He never expected that with his previous "reputation", many people took the initiative to vote and were willing to follow him to the south. land.

Naturally, the meat caught in the bowl cannot be put back.

However, it is very necessary to say hello to Qin.

As for whether to give another part of the benefits, Mr. Huan shrugged and said that Fu Jian had a lot of good things in his private treasury, which was more than enough to exchange the population of a hundred households.

On this side, Huan Rong made up his mind, let's not talk about the people being taken away, but must persuade the Qin family to let go, so as to ensure the smooth flow of commercial routes in the Western Regions.

On the other side, the army led by Huan Shiqian and Yang Guang had broken through Lueyang and was heading west along the Weishui River, marching towards Tianshui in the snow.

Xie Xuan and Wang Xianzhi finally caught up with the army and joined forces with Huan Shiqian.

The family generals brought by the two quickly went into battle, and the fight with the Di soldiers was extremely brave.When attacking Lueyang City, the prefect of Lueyang was captured alive, which made Huan Shiqian and Yang Guang look at each other with admiration.

"It's been snowing for days, and it's difficult for the army to march, but it may not be easy for the Di thief defending the city."

Huan Shiqian spread out the map and drew a long line with his fingers, focusing heavily on the "Tianshui City" sign.

"I will borrow military chariots to march quickly, and the siege equipment can be assembled under the city as much as possible. I will take Tianshui City by the first month of next year!"
