Huan Rong

Nearly ten thousand Xuanjia cavalry came galloping, the wind was like lightning, the sound was like thunder, and the momentum was amazing.

Standing on the top of the city, looking at the cavalry who are sweeping towards them, even knowing that the opponent will not attack, he still feels nervous, the back of his neck feels cold, and his hair stands on end.

Huan Rong had seen many kinds of cavalry, he had fought with Murong Xianbei during the Northern Expedition of the Jin army; not long ago, he led an army to break through Mohechuan, and competed with the Tuyuhun defenders.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Tuyuhun cavalry is definitely not bad, and it is definitely number one among all the ministries.Otherwise, Di Qin and Qin Ce would not be afraid.However, compared with the cavalry in front of us, it is still in the sky and on the ground, as if the difference between the miscellaneous army and the elite of the imperial court is not much comparable at all.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Huan Rong fully realized why Qin Jing was able to sweep Shuofang Wuyuan and drive Rouran Wang Ting to Mobei like a rabbit.And why was he able to travel unimpeded all the way, taking down Bailan City in an unbelievably short time.

Such a cavalry charge is simply run over by a tank in the cold weapon era, and everyone will feel trembling in their hearts and shudder subconsciously.

Huan Rong's thoughts changed sharply, and he began to weigh the comparison in his mind, simulating fighting a cavalry with a military chariot.In the end, it was concluded that it was not easy to win, the number of people must exceed the opponent by three to four times, and the number of military vehicles must not be less than two hundred.

If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be a miserable victory in the end.

The sound of the horn sounded again, and it was as long as ever, dragging Huan Rong back from his contemplation.Blinking her eyes, she slowly loosened her clenched fingers, her fingertips felt slightly numb, and there was a crescent-shaped red mark on her palm, which was slightly painful.

Huan Rong took a deep breath, the cold wind flowed into the abdomen along the nasal cavity, the blood seemed to be frozen, and he was shocked for life.

No matter how strong the opponent is, he must face it with his head held high.

In any case, on the day when swords and soldiers meet, I must not back down.Determined to unify China, the battle with Chang'an is inevitable.Backing down is not advisable, and concessions are even more impossible!

woo-

The sound of the desolate horn broke through the new wind, and the black armored cavalry rushed to the city in an instant.

Goshawks circled in the air, making a sharp cry.

The defenders at the top of the city responded with the sound of drums, and at the same time opened their bowstrings, ready for battle.If the opponent has any other intentions, or even launches an attack suddenly, he must bear the baptism of arrows.

Hey!

The goshawk fluttered its wings and screamed, piercing through the clouds in the blink of an eye, and landed on Qin Jing's left forearm in black armor.

Hey!

The hawk chirped again, and the horn sound stopped suddenly.

The eight thousand iron cavalry pulled the reins together, and the horses snorted and stamped on the ground with their front hooves.The hot air from the mouth and nose condensed into a white mist, which was almost connected with the silvery white everywhere.

The five-element flag was raised, and the cavalry separated to the left and right like a tide.The action does not need to be commanded at all, as if it has been practiced thousands of times, it is already out of instinct.

Standing on a high place, Huan Rong could clearly see that the costumes of the cavalry were very different.There are all kinds of leather armor and weapons, and the difference between hairstyles and totems can be seen at a glance.

In addition to the trilogy of the Han people with leather armor on the right side, there are Xianbei with locks, Huns with long heads, Qiang and Jie people with totems on their necks, Chile and Di people wearing leather robes with left sides, and even many Tuyuhun people with small-sleeved tops and long skirts and hats.

The more Huan Rong looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Such an army was born entirely for killing, and Qin Jing's personal prestige can only be united together.If there is an accident someday, it will 100% become the source of the disaster.

The tiger released from the cage and the beast out of control are the truest portrayals.

Even if an army that lives by killing puts away its knives and guns and temporarily hides its fangs, it will still make people tremble with fear and send chills down their backs.

Xie An and Wang Biaozhi climbed to the top of the city together, and when they saw the cavalry below the city, their hearts tightened at the same time, which was exactly the same as Huan Rong's reaction.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this army..."

Before Xie An finished speaking, Huan Rong shook his head on the spot and stopped him.

Some things, just know in your heart, don't need to say it out loud.No matter how ferocious the cavalry in front of them is, whether they are a group of beasts or not, there is no reason to back down when something really happens, they must face up to the difficulties and compete on the battlefield.

There are brothers Gongshu and Xiangli, who gather skilled craftsmen, plus blacksmiths gathered from Tuyuhun, Huan Rong believes that as long as the cost is spared, more powerful weapons will be made.

With heavy troops in hand, victory or defeat is still unpredictable, why bother to build up other people's ambitions at this time.

Personal friendship is one thing, and it is another matter when it comes to politics and military affairs.

It may sound too cold, but if he is really soft-hearted and has no idea, Huan Rong may not be able to make it to where he is today, he has long since fallen into the pit of his scumbag father and Queen Mother Chu, and died to the point of death.

Under the city, Qin Jing moved the goshawk to his shoulder, and rode out more and more.The black horse with black armor, holding a long iron spear, under the guard of the cavalry, looks like a fierce god who has just stepped out of the battlefield.

Walking to the front of the team, Qin Jing released the goshawks.

The goshawk fluttered its wings, flew straight to the top of the city, and landed on the bricks.

There is a small piece of silk cloth dangling from the eagle's beak, which is obviously written on the spur of the moment.Huan Rong reached out to take it, and stroked the goshawk's back feathers, causing the latter to fluff up its breast feathers.This kind of familiarity surprised Xie An and Wang Biaozhi when they met for the first time.

Ignoring the strange expressions of the two, Huan Rong glanced at the silk cloth, then at the bottom of the city, and immediately ordered the Han soldiers to lower the suspension bridge.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Wang Biaozhi said.

Huan Rong didn't speak, just handed over the silk cloth.

After Wang Biaozhi and Xie An circulated it, they were amazed by the content on it.

"Chang'an is willing to make a pact with me?" Xie An asked.This is not the same as Qin Ce's previous national letters, and it can even be called the opposite.

Huan Rong shook his head and smiled, "It's not Chang'an, but Qin Xuanmin."

"Not Chang'an?" Xie An and Wang Biaozhi showed hesitation at the same time.

Looking at the appearance of the two, Huan Rong said in a low voice: "Xie Shizhong said earlier that the father and son of the Qin family are at odds, which is of great benefit to us. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, why are you hesitating?"

Xie An and Wang Biaozhi shook their heads and couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, if this agreement can be reached, the benefits to Yu Guochao are immeasurable.Even if you have to meet Chang'an's wrath, or be accused of taking advantage of others, it's still worth the risk.

In the short term, there is no need to face this group of killing gods, and you can hold the actual benefits in your hands. It's nothing to scold, it's still painless.

What's more, in the land of Huaxia today, Yan State and Di Qin have been destroyed successively, and Tuyuhun will also disappear.The other Hu tribes were beaten up and down, and there was no success in the short term. Only Chang'an and Jiankang were in opposition.

Under such circumstances, who can come forward to accuse Jiankang?

Chang'an?

Talking to yourself, falling into the eyes of others, the credibility is questionable.

History books?

The Qin family has only been established for two years, and its influence is limited to the north.Huan Rong's throne was abdicated by the Jin Emperor, and he succeeded in the same line as Cao Wei and the two Jins. It is really more popular than the people's opinion, and Chang'an is definitely not the opponent.

Thinking of this, Xie An and Wang Biaozhi seemed to be enlightened, and suddenly felt a sense of understanding.

"What do you two think?" Huan Rong asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

It was really not easy for Xie An to say this.

I would also like to thank the Wei and Jin customs.If it was changed to the feudal dynasty after the Tang and Song Dynasties, if they heard that he had this plan, there would be upright admonishers who would speak out to stop him, and most likely they would hit their heads against the post and use blood to compare the emperor's lack of virtue, cunning, cruelty and inhumanity.

"His Majesty?"

"nothing."

Dispelling the inexplicable thoughts, Huan Rong cheered up again.He took out a charcoal pencil from his purse, wrote two lines on the back of the silk cloth, and handed it to Goshawk again.

"Go."

The goshawk didn't pick it up this time, but grabbed the silk cloth with its sharp claws, and quickly flew away with its wings.

After receiving the reply and seeing the suspension bridge in front of the city gate lowered, Qin Jing pointed out a group of cavalry and said, "You guys follow me into the city, and the rest will camp outside the city."

"promise!"

Among the entourage were Zhang Lian and Ran Hu, while Xia Houyan was left outside the city and led the army to camp and set up tents.

Two hundred cavalry walked towards the gate of the city, Huan Rong turned around and stepped down from the top of the city, and climbed onto the gate.To meet Qin Jing in person is to give Qin Jing enough face.

Xie An and Wang Biaozhi did not object to this.After all, Qin Jing's trip is not malicious, and if things go well, it can bring great benefits to Guochao.

The officials paid attention to it, and there was nothing wrong with this move.

As for what Qin Ce will think and react when the incident spreads to Chang'an... Xie An and Wang Biaozhi exchanged glances, they both stroked their beards and smiled with deep meaning.

Not long ago, Qin Ce's letter of credence returned by the official was quite blunt, with sharp words that pierced people's hearts.Now that he attaches so much importance to Qin Jing, no matter what speculation Chang An makes, the result will definitely be very interesting.

Huan Rong gave Qin Jing enough face, and Qin Jing naturally reciprocated.

Seeing the great rein of the Son of Heaven, Qin Jing immediately raised his right arm, followed by two hundred cavalrymen and got off their horses at the same time, holding the rein with one hand, and beating hard on his chest with the other.

Qin Jing took two steps forward, and was about to bend down to salute, when Huan Rong stepped forward, holding Qin Jing's forearm with both hands, and said with a smile: "General, I'm overjoyed at this visit, no need to be too polite!"

Calling him "General" instead of "His Royal Highness" is to show Qin Jing that Huan Rong already understands what he meant in the letter.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word "General", Qin Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and she straightened up, still clasped her fists and said, "I've seen Your Majesty!"

"I have ordered a banquet, General Qin please!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

To show respect and kindness, Huan Rong held Qin Jing's arms together, covered them with long sleeves, and brushed the back of Qin Jing's hand with his fingertips.

Qin Jing's expression remained unchanged, it was still windy, frosty and snowy, and evil spirit spread all over his body.Behind his back, he clasped his fingers backwards, his slender fingers inserted between Huan Rong's fingers, and his callused fingertips brushed against Huan Rong's palm, causing the corners of the latter's mouth to tremble slightly, and the roots of his ears to heat up, almost ruining his work on the spot.

On that day, a banquet was held in the city to welcome Qin Jing.

The cavalry outside the city did not need to eat jerky anymore. The hot broth and roasted meat were delivered, paired with steamed cakes and steamed buns, and the crispy pickles were very appetizing.

In the camp, tents were set up one after another, and there were fences standing around, with sharp points facing outwards, to guard against possible changes.

Meals were delivered from the city, and Xia Houyan was arranging night patrols.Hearing the commotion outside the tent, he immediately frowned, strode forward and opened the curtain, before he could speak, he smelled the smell of broth.

The bald guy and a Han army leader came to deliver meals. Because the former was from the Tuoba tribe, he could speak a few words in Xianbei and Xiongnu all night, and quickly chatted with the cavalry in the camp.

When Xia Houyan left the tent, the bald man was chatting enthusiastically with a few Xianbei and Chile cavalrymen. When he became interested, he simply took out his dagger and handed it directly to the Xianbei cavalry on the opposite side, which was very generous.

Seeing this situation, Xia Houyan couldn't help frowning, but didn't say anything.

This is the habit of the barbarians, if it is obstructed, the result may not be good.What's more, this group of tigers and wolves were rebellious and unruly. They were awed by Qin Jing's bravery, so they willingly surrendered to him, and charged into battle for him as if ordered by their arms.

Which onion or garlic is Xia Houyan?It is not uncommon to draw a knife when you are in a hurry.

"The opposite is General Xiahou?"

The leader of the Han army who accompanied him was none other than Cai Yun who went out with the army and made contributions in the battle of breaking the city.

Because of his background as a water bandit, Cai Yun has a keen intuition and is particularly sensitive to the existence of treasure houses and secret rooms.When searching the palace, the first people found the body of King Tuyuhun and the secret path to the palace's treasure. They were praised by Huan Rong, and now they are proud of themselves.

"Exactly." Xia Houyan nodded in return.

Huan Han is not what he used to be, he dare not despise Huan Rong anymore.In addition, Qin Jing faintly reveals the purpose of this trip, even if the opposite is just a landlord, he still has to be polite.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, Xia Houyan accepted the steamed cake and broth, and expressed his gratitude to Emperor Huanhan.

"There is no need for this, General." Cai Yun smiled, "The official and General Qin have long had a friendship, and they ordered me to wait for the army to stay in Mohechuan for a long time. It is necessary to make proper arrangements, and the general does not need to worry about the daily meals."

When Cai Yun and Xia Houyan were talking, the bald guy was using a dagger to cut off a piece of roasted meat, paired it with pickles, and chewed it in the steamed cake.Afterwards, he drank half a bowl of hot soup, wiped off the oil marks on his mouth, and said to several Xianbei cavalrymen: "This is the most enjoyable way to eat!"

This move seems to be unintentional, but it is actually showing to the other party that the food delivered is no problem, and you can open your belly with confidence.

After staying for about half an hour, Cai Yun and Bald Guy bid farewell and returned to the city.

After leaving the camp, the two looked back at the same time, Cai Yun said in a deep voice, "If we meet on the battlefield, how sure are you?"

The bald guy grinned, clasped the dagger he bought from the Chilean with his big hand, and said, "You'll see the truth on the battlefield, and you'll know it after you fight it."

In the camp, watching the group leave, Xia Houyan turned around and went back to the tent, and started to set up the camp defense again.

The few people who had a good chat with the bald guy before were sitting around the campfire at the moment, chewing steamed cakes and roasting meat, while passing around the dagger left by the other party.

Someone accidentally scratched the leather armor, and actually chipped off a piece at the edge, and there was a "huh" on the spot.

"It's so sharp?"

Surprised, he used the Tuyuhun scimitar to test, after several impacts, the scimitar was the first to crack.

"It's really a sharp weapon!"

The dagger was stuck on the ground, and a Xianbei cavalry soldier with a broad chest and a thick neck who looked like a hill said in a low voice: "No wonder King Khan wants to talk to the emperor in the south."

The rest of the people nodded, thinking that after the deal was concluded, they would be able to go north to pursue Rouran Royal Court and snatch countless gold and silver treasures.
