Huan Rong

After seeing Huan Rong, Huan Wei, Huan Xuan and Huan Yin were allowed to leave the palace.

Knowing that the Queen Mother had several people staying outside the palace, Huan Rong was very worried, so he specially ordered Ping Hao to accompany him, and ordered the palace guards to escort him, so he must take good care of him.

Several people excitedly rushed out of Taicheng and rushed all the way to Qingxili, full of expectations.Unfortunately, Huan Yi was away from home and was not at home.

"Unfortunately, I have sent someone to find your elder brother and come back. It will take some time."

Across the screen, Mrs. Zhou was sitting upright, with a soft voice, inexplicably making people feel close.

Huan Wei and the others came forward to pay respects, calling them "sister-in-law" and "aunt.

Huan Jing stepped out of the screen, without the help of a maidservant, greeted Huan Wei and Huan Xuan in a dignified manner, and called him "uncle".The movement is very standard, but the hands are short and the feet are short, and he is wearing a thick robe. Halfway through the ceremony, he still couldn't stabilize and fell straight forward.

"careful!"

Huan Wei reacted the fastest, before he had time to think, he rushed forward and hugged Huan Jing.

The ground is full of wooden boards, and falling may not cause injury, but a burst of pain is inevitable.In this regard, Huan Wei and Huan Xuan quite have a say.

Huan Wei and Huan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when the "danger" was lifted.Huan Yin, Huan Zhen and Huan Zhiyu leaned forward, seeing Huan Jing hugged by Huan Wei, still not forgetting to salute, they couldn't help laughing on the spot.

Because of this sudden episode, the lives of the uncles and nephews disappeared, and their relationship developed by leaps and bounds.

Seeing that her son was fine, Mrs. Zhou ordered her servants to bring fried cakes with tea soup.

Huan Wei simply sat down with Huan Jing in his arms, chewing fried cakes in his mouth, and did not forget to feed his nephew honey water.Huan Xuan and Huan Yin sat beside each other, talking while waiting for Huan Yi to return home.

Huan Yi has been at the pier these days because two sea-going ships are berthing.Seeing the healthy servant sent by the Zhou family, knowing that the two brothers and nephew had arrived at home, he immediately put down what he was doing and rode back home.

"Why come here at this time, can you report to the Queen Mother and the officials?"

Years of sea life, Huan Yi's tanned skin, strong facial features, and tall and strong figure will give people a sense of deterrence.

Huan Wei and Huan Xuan have already gotten used to it, knowing that their elder brother looks scary, but in fact he has a very good personality and is very easy to get close to.

Huan Yin and Huan Zhen were not familiar with Huan Yi, so they inevitably swallowed and became cautious.

Huan Zhiyu raised her head, seeing Huan Yi's appearance, she couldn't help but think of Huan Huo.

It is strange to say that Huan Huo has a handsome appearance, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a tall and strong figure. Although the sons he gave birth to resemble him, they all resemble him only a little bit.As he got older, his words and deeds became even more polarized, completely different from his own father.

Especially Huan Shixiu, standing with Huan Huo Huan Chong, nine out of ten would think that he and Huan Chong are father and son.

Who made Huan Huo and Huan Chong look similar, but the former was dressed in bronze, a proper representative of a handsome man.The latter can't be tanned no matter how tanned, a typical celebrity demeanor.

With Huan Shixiu's temperament, he is naturally more like Huan Chong.

If it wasn't for the fact that General Hushi and Taiwei Huan had a good relationship and knew each other very well, there would probably be a misunderstanding and a "tragedy".

In contrast, Huan Yi is more like Huan Huo's own son.

"Compared with Maharaja, Congshu is more like Dafu."

Hearing these childish words, Huan Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.After laughing enough, he reached out and grabbed Huan Zhiyu into his arms.

Huan Zhiyu fanned her long eyelashes, and was really helpless when Huan Rong and Huan Yi hugged each other even if they disagreed.

Huan Jing looked at Brother Cong, who was clearly a three-year-old child, but there was a comforting look on his face, as if to say: I get used to hugging and hugging, my brother's condolences.

"Brother, mother has given permission to allow me and the others to stay in brother's house." Seeing that Huan Yi was in a good mood, Huan Wei took the opportunity to say, "Brother, Bao Nu and Ah Quan have not seen a sea ship yet. Brother, can you accommodate me?"

"Want to see the ship?" Huan Yi raised his eyebrows.

Several children nodded at the same time, full of anticipation.

Huan Yi thought about it for a while, and said: "It's not impossible. However, the three-masted ship is parked in Guangling, and there are two cargo ships that can sail on the river. They are now in Jiankang. I can take you to have a look."

"Thank you bro!"

"Thank you uncle!"

"Don't rush to thank me first." Huan Yi changed the subject, glanced at the young boys, and said seriously, "You must be obedient and not naughty when you get on the boat. Especially you, Ah Bao, don't look at Ah Bao, you were naughty last time , the movement is not small, and the queen mother in the palace has heard about it. If it wasn't for the intercession of the officials, and there are three leopard slaves, you might leave the palace today?"

Being exposed by Huan Yi, Huan Wei blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing that he had repented, Huan Yi put down Huan Zhiyu and handed Huan Jing over to the Zhou family. After the husband and wife said a few words, they were about to take Huan Wei and others out of the mansion.

"Father!" Huan Jing suddenly said, "Father, my son also wants to watch the boat!"

Zhou looked at Huan Yi helplessly, finally gritted her teeth and said, "Master, you might as well take Ah Jing with you."

Huan Yi expressed his plan to Huan Rong early on, that Huan Jing would not be included in the crown prince candidate, and he would also be a military general in the future to open up the territory for Huan Han.

As early as half a year ago, Huan Yi had taken Huan Jing on a ship.

Zhou was worried at first, but after seeing that everything was well arranged, she gradually let go.It's just that the people who are placed next to Huan Jing are all carefully selected, so as not to make any mistakes.

Another point, as Huan Rong's sister-in-law, the Zhou family often went to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, so she knew very well that the future crown prince was likely to be among Huan Yin and Huan Zhen.

It may not be a bad thing for my son to have more contact with three people and form friendships when he was young.

After the group left the mansion, they walked across the north bank of the Qinhuai River, and happened to meet Wang Jingzhi and several noble men who had just returned from Fangshi.

Because of the models of ships in the palace, Huan Wei, Huan Xuan, Wang Jingzhi and the others all knew each other very well, and their friendship was quite good.When meeting each other head-on, it is natural to stop and say hello to each other.

"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Wang Jingzhi was dressed in a blue robe, and his appearance and temperament seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Wang Xianzhi.

"Go and see the ship."

Huan Wei introduced Huan Yin, Huan Zhen and Huan Zhiyu to Wang Jingzhi, and stated the purpose of his trip.Seeing the curious faces of the teenagers on the opposite side, they immediately asked: "Ah Jing, is there something important? If not, why not go with us?"

The opportunity is rare, and the teenagers are obviously moved.

Huan Yi looked carefully, and recognized that the young man in the lead was Wang Jingzhi, and those beside him were the gentlemen of the Xie family, Xi family and Yu family, and immediately nodded in agreement.

No matter how stable he is on weekdays, he is still a teenager at heart.

Seeing Huan Yi nodding his head, Wang Jingzhi and others were a little excited.They each ordered their healthy servants to deliver letters to their homes, brought the carriages together, and went to the wharf with Huan Yitong.

The teenagers are about the same age and have a lot to talk to each other.Especially Huan Yin and Wang Jingzhi, they talked quite speculatively.

A group of people marched to the pier in a mighty way, attracting many eyes along the way.

Although Mr. Lang is small, his beauty has already appeared.

A little lady threw the silk flower jokingly, and it landed just in front of the boy's chariot.

Wang Jingzhi and the others saw the festive scene, and this time the object was replaced by themselves, they couldn't help but blushed slightly, and subconsciously ordered the servant to speed up the car.

Huan Zhiyu and Huan Jing are very novel, their four big eyes are wide open, like four black grapes, if you look at them curiously, a heart of stone will melt.

Unknowingly, the future Huan Han Ding Chen came together, and the immature team began to take shape.

Seeing the young man who was traveling with him, a vague idea flashed in Huan Yi's mind, but he couldn't catch it because of the speed.The few courtiers who happened to pass by saw this group of people, and their minds moved slightly. Looking at the group of people going away, they fell into deep thought for a long time.

In November of the seventh year of Taiyuan, Huan Yin, Huan Zhen and Huan Zhiyu arrived in Jiankang.

Later historians compiled books to record: the crown prince was young and smart, the king of Huailing was well-versed in affairs, and the king of Wuling was very intelligent, and the emperor was very happy.

In December of the seventh year of Taiyuan, Huan Rong decided on the strategy of the Northern Expedition. The nails that had been ambushing the Qin State before were activated one after another, and they began to move one after another. A large net was opened silently.

In the same month, Qin Jing chased Gaoche and the remnants of Wusun, and Qin Jun blocked the escape route to the west, forcing Gaoche and the Wusun tribe to flee to Mobei in embarrassment.

The losses in this battle were too heavy, the Di's tribe became extinct, and several warriors went from ten to five or six. In a few years, they never dared to think of going south.

Wusun left the nomadic land and was forced to migrate with the Gaoche tribe.

Because the army of Qin was chasing after them, and they had to share weal and woe, the two sides had a heart-to-heart relationship at first, helping each other to escape.As they went deeper into Mobei, the pursuers got farther and farther away, the dangers gradually approached, and conflicts began to appear.

Mobei is inherently barren, with limited pastures.

Although there were fewer visits to the Di's tribe, and the six tribes of Gaoche became five tribes, the Wusun who joined later was more numerous and more powerful.

With limited resources and natural disasters, all ministries must survive, friction and even conflict are inevitable.

As Qin Jing expected, Gao Che and Wusun fled back to Mobei, the flames of war in Shuofang were extinguished, the crisis in Monan was resolved, but the flames of war in Mobei had just ignited.

Taiyuan eight years, January

When Qin Jing's class returned to the court, the people of Chang'an lined the road to welcome them.

In the same month, Huan Han delivered the letter of credence to Chang'an, handed over the last batch of grain, and asked Emperor Qin to fulfill his promise to escort the prisoners of war south to offset the grain payment.

Qin Jing didn't break his promise. After reading the letter of credence, he beheaded Wusun Kunmi and the captured tribal leaders, counted the prisoners again, and sent them to the south according to the previous agreement.

When the two countries sent envoys to each other and handed over credentials to each other, there were also many actions behind the scenes.

Scholars from the North went south together, and caravans from the South went north one after another.

The troops on the border are frequently mobilized, and they all seem to be aware of the other party's plan, but they are always under the table, and no one intends to reveal it immediately.

Under this atmosphere, both Tuyuhun and the Western Regions were affected.

As long as they are well-informed, they can smell some rumors and guess that a big change is about to happen, which may completely change the political situation in the North and South.

In February of the eighth year of Taiyuan, the disaster situation in Huanhan, Jingxiang eased, and the imperial government's disaster relief strategy achieved initial results, which was praised by the people.

However, there are still many desperate people under the steel knife.

Several officials who were unfavorable in disaster relief and corrupted the official bank of Mexico were escorted to Beijing and punished according to law.

In March of the eighth year of Taiyuan, Huan Shixiu and Huan Si went to the table, one to report to the emperor the changes in the border states and the Western Regions, and two to imply that Huan Rong, Huan Yin, Huan Zhen and Huan Zhiyu had been in Beijing for several months, and they should also be released home. right?

Huan Rong's reply was simple: don't let go.

Neither Huan Shixiu nor Huan Si could have expected such a simple and rude thing.They wrote to Huan Huo and Huan Chong at the same time, asking what to do about this matter.

The replies from the Great General Hussars and the Taiwei were equally simple: Follow the arrangements of the officials and do not talk too much.

In April, King Shanshan of the Western Regions killed the officials of Huan Han and returned to Chang'an.

Qin State Bingzhou assassination envoy accepts Huan Han's recruitment and raises the flag to return to Han.The Qingzhou assassin swayed from side to side, and his attitude was still unclear.The assassin of Jizhou killed the people from Huanhan and presented them to Chang'an.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The cover that had been suppressed for several months was suddenly lifted, and neither Jiankang nor Chang'an planned to let it go.

From May to June in the eighth year of Taiyuan, the two countries traveled by flying horses, and heavy troops were deployed on the border, shaking the world.

In July, as expected, the talks between the two parties finally collapsed.

Huan Han assembled an army of [-], with the Xifu Army as the main force, known as [-], and awarded Taiwei Huan Chong with the banner, with Liu Laozhi as the vanguard general, starting from Gushu, and the troops pointed directly at Chang'an.

At Jingkou, Xie Xuan and Xi Rong led the Beifu army, and joined the Youzhou army led by Xun You to attack Pengcheng in the north.

The Qin State also assembled a large army, claiming to be 20, starting from Chang'an and attacking Hanzhong directly.

Amidst the sound of war drums, the flags are fierce.

Who can unify China, and who can win the Nine Tripods.

The two sides were evenly matched, and amidst the sound of the desolate horn, the prelude to the war kicked off.
