Huan Rong

After the Eight Kings Rebellion, Sima Rui crossed the river to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to resettle the northern gentry and recruit a large number of refugees, overseas Chinese prefectures, overseas Chinese counties, and overseas Chinese counties were successively established in the south.

Yanzhou, where [-] troops gathered, is adjacent to Youzhou and Qingzhou, and most of them are in the territory of Jiangsu in later generations.

Although it is called a prefecture, its area is less than that of a county in Han Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a larger county.Tens of thousands of troops arrived one after another, and the people in the city were screaming and screaming. They couldn't accommodate them, and the latecomers had to camp outside the city.

Huan Rong lived in the sixth rank, and as the county magistrate of Qianhu County, he was not enough to look at in front of the governors of Zhuzhou.But his biological father is Huan Wen, his biological mother is Princess Nankang, and Xi Ci envoys take care of him both openly and secretly. Even if there are not many private soldiers and strength, he can still be regarded as a "princess", and no one dares to underestimate him.

As the story of "boiling a living person" spread, more people became aware of Huan Rong's murderous reputation.

Regardless of whether he gave the order or not, it is indeed true that a few crooks were in the pot.

Thinking about Sima Huan breaking into the mourning hall of the enemy's family alone in his early years and beheading the son of the enemy's family, everyone dared not take the risk easily.It's not that your head is flooded and you want to feel uncomfortable, who would take the initiative to provoke such a vicious spirit.

A good name may not be useful, but a bad name can provide convenience, which can be regarded as a spectacle in troubled times.

After Huan Rong and his party arrived in Yanzhou, they did not encounter any difficulties and were all arranged in the city.

The long street of several hundred meters is backed by dilapidated residential buildings, grain trucks are lined up in long lines, and the middle is connected by wooden boards. With the sweat of the servants, a simple protective wall gradually took shape.

Most of the refugees living here were conscripted, and the old and weak left behind moved to the south of the city.

Huan Rong and his entourage monopolized the entire street, and they didn't have to occupy the space with others. It was originally a happy thing.As a result, Huan Xi suddenly showed up, a high-spirited dignitary, without any room for negotiation, and didn't take Huan Rong seriously.

Not to mention that, when seeing the rice piled on the grain cart, greed flashed in Huanxi's eyes, and he asked again that all the army rations should be transferred away except for the infantry.

"My brother is on the battlefield for the first time. I'm afraid I don't know. The food and fodder are all allocated and distributed by the army, so there is no need to carry it with the army."

Hearing this, Huan Rong sneered even worse.

Dare to feel that this person not only treats him as a soft persimmon, he can pinch it if he wants, but also treats him as a fool!With dozens of people, he wants to transfer all the infantry and servants, and even has the idea of ​​​​military rations. Does this person have any brains?

"Brother," suppressing the anger in his chest, Huan Rong took half a step forward and said, "Since it's a troop transfer, is there a military order?"

"Naturally." Huan Xi came prepared, immediately took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom, and without getting off his horse, looked down on Huan Rong, eyes full of contempt and provocation.

When Huan Rong reached out to pick it up, Huan Xi deliberately let go of it ahead of time, allowing the bamboo slips to fall to the ground, and even took the opportunity to scold: "Brother! Are you dissatisfied with the military order?!"

Before the sound of scolding came to an end, the horse suddenly hooved forward and was about to kick Huan Rong.

"How brave!"

Dian Kui was furious, shouted violently, rushed forward at an incredible speed, grabbed the bit in the horse's mouth with one hand, and held the rein with the other hand, both hands were strong together, the muscles in both arms were bulging like rocks, and the horse that weighed hundreds of catties He was forced to the ground, neighing twice, unable to stand up no matter what.

When the horse fell to the ground, Huan Xi was caught off guard and fell off the horse's back. Fortunately, he was able to avoid being crushed under the horse due to his skill.

Looking at the struggling horse and the strong man with bulging veins, Huanxi's eyes flashed with fear.

When did Huan Rong have such a murderous person beside him?

噍——

Before Huan Xi could stand up, there was a loud eagle cry in the air.

Amidst the sound of breaking wind, a black-brown figure swooped down, its sharp claws were like a steel structure, it directly grabbed Huan Xi's hair, causing a scream.

"what!"

"Eldest son!"

"Sir!"

"Lang Jun!"

The accompanying Buqu was shocked, and hurried forward to protect Huanxi from the goshawk that swooped down for the second time.At the same time, he drew out the weapon, drew the bow and arrow, and the arrows flew out one after another, but they failed again and again.

The goshawk was enraged, and its vigorous figure crossed the clear sky, swooped three times, and scratched an archer.

噍——

The hawk chirped again, a black shadow appeared in the clouds, and a bigger black hawk suddenly appeared.

The black eagle circled for two weeks, cooperating with the goshawk, one attracted the bow and arrow, the other swooped down, seized the opportunity to slap its claws, and at the same time flapped its wings fiercely, but after three or four rounds, both Huanxi and Buqu were caught His face was disfigured, all of them were wounded, and he was bleeding profusely.

Seeing this tragic situation, Huan Rong didn't want to help, so he took half a step back.

This is a bit beyond plan.

However, looking up at Goshawk and Heiying, and looking at Huanxi and others who were dodging in a panic, really relieved their anger.

"That eagle..." Seems to be raised by the lord?Surprise flashed in Zhong Lin's eyes, halfway through her words, Xun You pressed her shoulders.

"This place is close to the Northland, across the river is where Murong Xianbei is. It is not surprising that there are a few eagles."

Zhong Lin was speechless. Is this what he said?

Xun You gathered his five fingers together and increased his strength, it must be done!

In short, why these two eagles suddenly appeared, and why they attacked Huanxi, has nothing to do with Fu Jun!

Zhong Lin: "..." Actually, this is not the descendant of Xun Yu, the ancestor should be Xun You, right?

Goshawks and black hawks came suddenly and left quickly.

After ten back and forth, the two eagles hovered high in the sky, croaked a few times, flapped their wings and flew away to the north, leaving only two black shadows for a moment.It really proved a sentence: when something happened, brush off your clothes and hide your body and name deeply.

In contrast, Huan Xi had five or six scratches and blood stains all over his face. With the current medical conditions, more than [-]% of them would be disfigured.

"Huan Rong, I will never divorce you!"

"Brother, it is the eagle that hurts people, what has it to do with me?"

"Slave, don't talk sweet words!" Huan Xi's face was bloodstained, his cheeks were red and swollen, and he almost lost his mind in pain, and said indiscriminately, "You first disobeyed the military order, deliberately refused to accept the military order, and then you hurt others with excuses, and waited I will tell my father to seize your official position and official seal, and then deal with it by military law! Your mother can't save you!"

Huan Rong's expression turned cold, Huan Xi had no other talents, and his ability to talk nonsense and make up nonsense was definitely beyond the reach of everyone.

Did he drop the troop order on purpose?

Call him a slave?Did he just scold Huan Ji and Huan Xin?

His mother is Princess Nankang, the eldest princess of the Jin family!Even if the Jin family is in decline, the fame is not as good as Wang Xie and other high-ranking families, but the status is still higher than the Huan family!

Sima Huan wants to give his mother some face, what kind of thing is Huan Xi, dare to insult him like this? !

Filled with anger, Huan Rong clenched his fists and ordered directly: "Dian Kui, Qian Shi, set up a prison pen, and lock up these people!"

"promise!"

Dian Kui and Qian Shi didn't like Huan Xi early on, but because Huan Rong didn't give an order, they didn't do anything.

For the two villains, the eldest son of the Huan family and the son of Nanjun, who dare to offend Huan Rong, should be beaten to death!

"Slave, how dare you!"

"Gag him!"

Huan Rong's words were full of anger, Dian Kui and Qian Shi agreed in unison, borrowed the servant's cover, and the big fist fell down, Huan Xi soon became unable to make a sound, and could only lie on the ground and breathe.

The servant moved very quickly, demolished a few wooden boards, and quickly built a square cell. There were no doors on the left, right, front, back, and only a gap above the head for one person to enter and exit.

Without relying on other people's hands, Dian Kui and Qian Shi bent down, each picked up one, stepped on the grain cart, and threw the person into the cell with force with their arms.

After a few bangs, there was another scream in the cell.

Huan Rong doesn't want Huan Xi's life for the time being, and the two of them are very measured, throwing the trilogy first and then throwing Huan Xi.With the former as a cushion, the latter is definitely not seriously injured.

They were locked up, and the servant took the horse away. Huan Rong didn't go to see Sima Huan immediately, but turned around and boarded the chariot, and called two servants into the chariot to discuss.

"The troop dispatching order is true, it has the great Sima's seal on it." Huan Rong unfolded the bamboo slips and said, "But I checked carefully, the number of troop dispatches is wrong."

Neither Xun You nor Zhong Lin was in a hurry to make a sound. They carefully read the contents of the bamboo slips and nodded.

According to the usual practice, Huan Rong accompanied the army in the Northern Expedition as the magistrate of Yandu County and the captain of Lvwei. He was supposed to keep infantry under his command. In case of war, he would be transferred to archers instead of relying on the name of the vanguard like Huan Xi. Transfer them all away.

If you don't stay alone, wouldn't it be obvious to tell others that you want to put Huan Rong to death?

With Huan Da Sima's character as a person, he would never do such a stupid thing.

This troop transfer order is stamped with an official seal, so it doesn't look like a fake.

It's just that it doesn't specify which team to transfer, nor the quantity, leaving a lot of room for manipulation.With this order in hand, Huan Xi dared to take advantage of the issue and transfer all the private soldiers and servants brought by Huan Rong.

"To tell you the truth, my master is very displeased." Huan Rong straightened his back, with a sneer on his face, "But in my opinion, my master would not act like this."

Huan Xi didn't have the guts to pretend to be a military order, but with the real military order in hand, it is very possible to try to take advantage of the loopholes and make trouble for him.

Looking at Sima Huan's subordinates, it is most likely Xi Chao who came up with this idea.

It's a pity that no matter how good the idea is, the executor is so muddy that it can't support the wall at all.Even if it was Huan Ji, things would not be like this.

"In the opinion of the two of you, how should this matter be handled?"

Huan Rong had an idea before, but was interrupted by Goshawk and angered by Huan Xi, so he couldn't implement it at all.Fortunately, there are two experts by my side, so we can discuss together.

The purpose of the so-called counselor should be here.

"In my servant's opinion, this matter should be reported in the city. Afterwards, the lord of the government can invite Da Sima." Xun You opened his mouth like a thunderbolt.

"I don't quite understand what Xun Sheren means." Huan Rong frowned.

spread?

Rumor has it that he ordered someone to beat Huan Xi up, and then imprisoned him again?

"The eldest son speaks evil words and disrespects his aunt." Xun You didn't mention the military order at all, and seized Huanxi's biggest handle, saying, "If the lord trusts me, this servant is willing to take this matter and relieve the lord's worries."

Huan Rong looked at Xun You, thought about his words, and was instantly enlightened.

The troop dispatch order was not faked, regardless of whether Huanxi took advantage of the loopholes, he made people do it, and even locked him up, which was a bit unreasonable.

If you change the angle, put aside the military order, catch Huan Xi to speak evil words, disrespect his aunt, and disobey filial piety, things will be different.

"Although the eldest son is the son of the county duke, the mansion is the county duke, and there is another food town, and he is the son of the Huan family."

During the Jin Dynasty, there were differences between scholars and concubines, and there were distinct distinctions between descendants and concubines.

Leaving aside the military position, just talking about the status, when the two of them were face to face, Huan Xi really bowed his head half down.As long as Princess Nankang is willing, Huanxi's position as heir may not be secure.

Huan Da Sima can't make Huan Rong, and there is Huan Xin and Huan Yi.Even if it still can't be changed in the end, it will still make Huanxi restless and anxious all day long.

"I understand." After thinking about it, Huan Rong agreed to Xun You's proposal.

After adding the details, Xun You and Zhong Lin left the Wuche and started to arrange things separately.

Huan Rong spread out the bamboo slips, thought for a while, closed the car windows and doors, and found two plates of fried cakes from the car cabinet.

Fingers caressed the forehead, and the light beads slowly emerged.

Seeing the white light wrapping the bamboo slips, Huan Rong ate a piece of fried cake in two bites.Regardless of whether you need it or not, it is always necessary to keep two copies of something when you get it.

At the same time, Huan Xi was detained by Huan Rong and reported to Sima Huan.At the same time, it was reported that Huanxi uttered evil words and disrespected his aunt.

"It has already spread throughout the city, and the servants have no time to stop it. Outside the barracks, there are discussions among the refugees."

The matter spread so quickly, it was obvious that someone was behind it.However, the direction of the wind has already come, and it is useless to find out the chief envoy.

After hearing what happened, Sima Huan remained silent for a long time, and suddenly had the urge to lift the table.

With such a son, it is better to give birth to roast meat!

"Duke Ming, I didn't think carefully about this matter." Xi Chao's teeth were also sore.

The eldest son is mediocre and has no talent, but he thinks very highly of himself, and he is self-willed, not much better than a straw bag.

In order to ensure that things go smoothly, he will arrange everything properly. He thought it was just a formality and there would be no problems.Unexpectedly, with Huan Xi's ability, Ping Di sprained his ankle!

It's just that I missed a word of warning and forgot to state the time to do it, and the result turned out to be like this!

If the Second Young Master is... well, the Second Young Master's current behavior may not be much better than the Eldest Young Master.

When he was speechless, he reported outside the tent, and envoy Xi Ting asked to see him.

"Please!"

The main forces of the Northern Expedition were the Xifu Army and the Beifu Army.The former was led by Huan Wen, while the latter was still in the hands of Xi Yin.

Huan Wen was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition in name, but the actual number of troops he could control was limited.Whether Xi Yin cooperates or not is related to the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, so Huan Da Sima naturally dared not neglect anything.

"Great Sima." Xi Yin entered the account and saluted with a smile.

Huan Wen hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Fang will come back quickly, no need to be too polite!"

The two sat down, and the healthy servant served tea soup.

After going around a few turns in the conversation, Xi Yin changed the subject and finally got to the point.

"Please transfer the Yandu infantry into the Beifu Army?" Sima Huan frowned.

"I ask Da Sima to agree."

After Xi Chao forged a letter with the intention of seizing the military power in Jingkou, the two of them almost broke their faces.Xi Yin held a heavy army in his hand, and he didn't intend to save face for Sima Huan at all, so he directly said "someone" without giving any reason.

"Fang Hui, let me think about this matter."

"It's only a few hundred infantry, why does Da Sima hesitate?" Sitting upright, he said slowly, "or is it true that the rumors in the city are true, that Prince Huan intends to seize the rations of the Yandu soldiers under the guise of the military order, but when he sees nothing, he says Turning black and white, trying to murder your own brother?"

Huan Wen was stunned.

Where did this rumor come from?

"Da Sima doesn't know? The son of the Huan family doesn't respect his aunt and filial piety, so he probably doesn't know?" Xi Yin raised his eyebrows, his tone was still slow, but the words he uttered were like bamboo boards, scratching Da Sima Huan's face one after another, for a moment. Red and swollen.

Sima Huan frowned, suddenly not quite understanding Xi Yin's intentions.

Is it to add to him or to vent his anger on that rebellious son?Or both?

Envoy Xi Ting didn't say any more after saying these words, and picked up the tea soup with elegant movements, as if he was not in a military camp, but a famous scholar's residence.The opposite is not Huan Wen, who is full of evil spirits, but an old friend who can sit and talk to each other.

Seeing that the topic was taken awry, Xi Chao was anxious, but he couldn't speak directly.

If this continues, Huan Rong's imprisoning Huan Xi will not only be wrong, but also meritorious!If Huanxi is charged with the crime, I am afraid that Da Sima will be smeared.

"Bright……"

"Xi Canjun have something to say?" Xi Min put down the teacup, his eyes were cold.

Hearing the title "Xi Canjun", Xi Chao's face turned pale, and he did not dare to look at Xi Min.

The atmosphere in the tent was frozen, and there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

First, a heavy object fell to the ground, followed by a series of screams, and then a series of reports, Yandu County Magistrate Huan Rong begged to see Da Sima.

"Let him in!" Huan Wen was annoyed in his heart, he was worried about Xi Min, so he couldn't get angry on the spot.

After a while, Huan Rong stepped into the tent. He was wearing a deep blue dress, a jade belt around his waist, and his eyes were picturesque.

Behind him, Dian Kui dragged Huan Xi, was stopped by Bu Qu and could not enter the account, and threw him out in front of Huan Wen, and fell to Huan Rong's feet with a plop.

"I've seen the commander-in-chief." Huan Rong acted as if he hadn't seen him before, and was performing the ceremony.

Hearing the address in his mouth, the three people in the tent had different expressions.

Sima Huan's face sank like water, and surprise flashed in Xi Chao's eyes.Xi Yin had a smile on his face, like a kind elder.If an uninformed person sees it, they will probably think that Xi Jishi is Huan Rong's real father.

Sima Huan didn't speak out for a long time, Huan Rong continued to kneel on the ground.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Huan Xi, who had a look of hatred and a bit of complacency, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The show has just started, so it's too early to be proud.

Yuzhou

Several fast horses rushed into the Xianbei barracks, 200 meters away from the commander's tent, the knights immediately tightened the reins and rolled over.

"Quickly, report to His Royal Highness the King of Wu that Jin has [-] troops and is about to go north to break the border!"

"What did you say?!"

Murong Chong suddenly rushed over from the slanting stab, picked up the knight's collar, and said, "Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true!" The knight was tired and anxious, his collar was strangled, his face was a little purple, "The army is now in Yanzhou, and will go north by water in a few days, and it may point directly at Yecheng!"

Murong rushed to throw away the knight, and strode towards the commander's tent.

Lifting up the curtain, seeing Murong Chui flipping through the bamboo slips, Murong Chong shouted: "Uncle, Jin people are calling!"

Murong Chui put down the bamboo slips, without much anxiety on his face, he said: "Where is the messenger, bring them to the tent."

"Uncle, are you going to send troops?"

Murong Chui didn't answer, he just ordered Bu Qu to bring him here, and we'll discuss in detail after questioning.

Murong Chong stood aside, watching Murong Chui's performance, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Could it be that uncle doesn't want to stop Jin Bing?
