Huan Rong

When Huan Rong returned to the station, everyone had been waiting for a long time.Seeing the horses galloping into the barracks, they immediately came forward to meet them.

"Your Majesty!"

"You don't need to worry." Huan Rong jumped off the horse, wanting to be unrestrained for a while, but he couldn't find the right angle, staggered, almost fell forward, grabbed the saddle and stood still.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Qian Shi said.

"No problem." Huan Rong waved his hand, and secretly ground his teeth, once again affirming that he did not have Xiao Sha's life.

"General Liu, do you have any arrangements?"

"A military order is like a mountain, and we will follow the order." Huan Rong moved half a step away, and immediately a healthy servant stepped forward to lead the horse away.

Hearing this, Xun You and Zhong Lin were still able to calm down and only sighed in their hearts.

Qian Shi's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his fingertips were almost dug into his palm.Dian Kui's neck was bulging with blue veins, and his eyes were red, obviously extremely angry.

It is conceivable that if Huan Wen was face to face, the two big men who were born as villains would hardly guarantee that they would not punch them and let out a fierce breath of anger.It wasn't because he was worried about Huan Rong and was afraid of causing trouble for him, Dian Kui wanted to break into the camp of the Chinese army.

At worst, go back and be a refugee!

The sky is big and the earth is big, but there is no place to stay!

"Your Majesty leads the sword and shield, really..." Xun You hesitated to speak, but was pulled by Zhong Lin, and finally shook his head.

"Military orders are like mountains, and they must be obeyed! Since I am the son of the Huan family, I should follow my father's example, ride the battlefield, destroy the Hu bandits, face the army and fight, go forward bravely, without fear!"

Huan Rong's face was full of righteousness and righteousness.

Everyone was stunned, with question marks all over their faces.

Did they hear it right?

Huan Rong raised the corners of his mouth, motioned them to come closer, lowered his voice, and explained this and that, and then patted Qian Shi on the shoulder, and said seriously: "When the battle comes, I will hand over the son to you .”

Translated: If the rope cannot be dragged away, you might as well lift it by hand.Lift it up and cheat, no matter what means, whatever is useful, just use it!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will definitely do it!" Qian Shi was gearing up, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He is familiar with this business.

It's just a person tied up, hands and feet tied, the same as the world's sons and common people.

Huan Rong nodded in satisfaction.

Huan Da Sima devoted himself to the country, even sacrificing his son's life.As the son of the eldest son, Huanxi should inherit his father's spirit of "sacrificing himself for others", and took up a knife to go into battle barebacked and fight face to face with the bandits.

As for whether it can survive a fight...Anyway, Da Sima said that it is an honor to shroud a corpse in horse leather, and it is an honor to stain the battlefield with blood.

Prince Huan died in battle, just in response to his words.

"I must be optimistic about the son!" Qian Shi grinned, planning to stay outside Huan Xi's tent tonight, in case he sent someone to seek help from Huan Da Sima.As long as he sticks to it for two days, when he goes to the battlefield, the gods will never even think about saving his life!

Sima Huan wants to make money?

Unless he is shameless!

Previously, he was impassioned and gave up his parents and children for the sake of the country and the people, so that Huan Rong could lead the charge, and he would die without regret.Turning around, can't it be Huanxi?It's just smacking your mouth out, there is no half faith at all!

In time, who would believe him?

Even the counselors and generals who admire his name and have followed him for many years may reconsider whether such a "Minggong" who says one thing and does another is worth following.

The matter of Huanxi is just a small episode, and the battle with the Xianbei cavalry is the most important thing.

The Yandu private soldiers once defeated the Xianbei rout soldiers and achieved quite good results.But the process was a bit tricky, and only when the opponent underestimated the enemy was he able to win the battle and behead more than seven hundred levels.

The situation is completely different now. The two sides are confronting head-on, gongs against gongs and drums. They are facing the elite of Murong Chui's men. They are competing for hard power. It is absolutely easy to save their lives or even kill the enemy.

It's not easy to come back, Huan Rong knew in his heart that since he was on the battlefield, he couldn't be cowardly.Regardless of the value of force, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. When the three armies are fighting, the one who loses courage first is always the first to lose his life.

"To defend against the enemy in the future, I will lead the formation with swords and shields, and first use the chariot to open the way."

There is not enough space in the military vehicle, the cabin is inevitably stuffy, and the camp is heavily guarded, Huan Rong has nowhere to hide from people, so he simply sat on the ground and explained his plan to everyone.

It's okay to leak.

During this critical period, even the scumbags dare not mess around.It doesn't matter if you get rid of him alone, if you are a little careless, you will get angry, or even initiate a mutiny, which will definitely be enough for a scumbag.

Having met Liu Laozhi and understood the perception of the military order by the right army, Huan Rong became more and more convinced of this.

"In the formation of the bamboo spear soldiers, you must remember to cooperate with the sword and shield hands."

"When the Xianbei cavalry charge, no one should be left on the left or right of the chariot, and they must be at least [-] paces apart. If you don't want to dodge, you can quickly move behind the chariot."

"Later, organize servants to rush to make slings overnight. There is no need to strive for excellence, as long as they can throw two or three times."

"Whoever follows me to the north, after this battle, everyone will receive rice and silk cloth, and those who have meritorious service will double."

Having said this, Huan Rong paused, and raised his voice: "Those who have made meritorious service in the battle will be rewarded! Those who made meritorious service in making the catapult will be rewarded! Those who are cowardly before the battle will be punished! Those who flee without fighting will be killed!"

Two rewards, one penalty and one kill, the words are sonorous and powerful, and they are resounding.

Everyone made solemn expressions and agreed in unison.

As night fell, torches were lit in the camp.More than a hundred of them gathered together, the orange light was everywhere, and the night was like day.

The servants took off their shirts and were busy cutting wood and twisting thick ropes.As one catapult was erected one after another, more than a hundred men were sweating profusely, and their chests and backs seemed to be soaked with oil.

"All the silk cloth I brought was cut and stitched in several layers. Then I disassembled the unused bamboo shields and sandwiched them into the silk cloth."

The bamboo shields are all brushed with tung oil, which is extremely tough.Adding a few layers of silk cloth, even if it can't resist knives and guns, it can block a stream of arrows, greatly increasing the chance of everyone's survival.

Huan Rong personally arranged for people to find out-of-duty sword and shield hands, put on this layer of silk clothes, and then put on the heart mirror and leather armor.

Seeing the results of the experiment, Dao Dun clasped his fists tightly, his cheeks tensed, and said in a deep voice: "Lieutenant Huan values ​​us, and I will die!"

Can live no one wants to die.

For Huan Rong, this is just a small effort, but for the soldier with his head tied on his belt, it is a great kindness.

The amount of silk cloth is not much, and if it is distributed, no one can only protect the chest.

Even so, everyone was still moved and vowed that they would do everything they could to repay this kindness when they went to the battlefield.

"Captain, the ring-shou knife is too heavy. You might not be able to grab it. Why don't you change it to a dagger? I happen to have one in my hand, and it was seized from Hu Kou."

"Lieutenant Huan, don't worry, the dagger is enough. As long as the servants are alive, we will never let the bandits get close to the captain!"

In short, you can't even dance the Huan Shou Dao, let alone fight against Xianbei people.With us here, you just take a dagger and put on a show.

The soldiers were all sincere, definitely out of good intentions.

Huan Rong was speechless for a long time, seeing that everyone had started to discuss the weight of the dagger, he couldn't help coughing and said: "Everyone, I have a word."

The soldiers immediately stopped, waiting for Huan Rong to speak.

"To fight against the enemy in the future, our army will form a phalanx. Rong can discuss with General Liu and make some changes before the formation."

"How to change?"

"so……"

Huan Rong simply explained a few sentences, and seeing that everyone was in a fog, he simply invited a few sword and shield fighters and bamboo spear soldiers to practice.

It was a bit unfamiliar at first, but as the number of times increased, the cooperation of several people became more and more tacit. The expressions of the onlookers changed from puzzlement to surprise, and then full of admiration.

"good!"

Xun You and Zhong Lin are good at strategizing internal affairs, and they are also people who know how to fight. Combining the characteristics of bamboo spear soldiers, they further refined the formation and doubled their lethality immediately.

"Zhong Ren, I'll leave it to you to draw the formation map. Be sure to complete the map as soon as possible and send it to General Liu."

"promise!"

"Kong Yu, building catapults and other things will take a lot of trouble."

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

After making some arrangements, Huan Rong finally had time to discuss with Qin Jing in detail as planned.

"Brother Qin has helped me several times, Rong is very grateful."

On the military chariot, Huan Rong sat upright with a solemn expression.

"This battle is between Jin and Xianbei. Although Rong is not talented, he still has the ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country. Brother Qin's love for protection, Rong knows, but given the situation of Qin's Wubao in northern Xinjiang, it is not easy to get involved lightly. .”

In other words, the Qin family's trading of cattle and sheep with the Jin army is a business category, and neither the Xianbei nor the Di people will find fault casually.

If the Qin Jing brothers joined the Jin army and were recognized on the battlefield, the situation would be completely different.

The Qin Clan's Wubao is indeed powerful, but hanging in the north, surrounded by wolves, always walking between the blades, is also dangerous.

With Wubao's ability, he can remain undefeated most of the time against the previous Hu regime alone.If it is regarded as an alliance with the Jin army, it is likely to be strangled by the Hu people.

If the Jin room is reliable, it's nothing.

The point is that the Jin family is not reliable at all.Now that Sima Huan is in charge of the military again, it would be good if he didn't stab the knife in the back. Rescue Qin's Wubao?Don't even think about it.

Qin Jing poached the wall several times, which made Huan Rong grit his teeth in anger, but he didn't help him too much.Especially this time, transporting cattle and sheep is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

Repay kindness with kindness and repay grievances with straightness, and only when grievances and grievances are clear can one be a real man.

With Huan Rong's character, he knew it was a bottomless pit, so he wouldn't let him jump down.

With the passage of time, Huan Rong's mentality gradually changed, and the way of thinking about problems no longer follows the previous life, but is getting closer to the present.

If he wants to slap his daddy, he can rely on external force, but he can't rely entirely on external force.

Otherwise, it will be like the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who is clearly the lord of a country, but is not seen by the top gentry. In case of rebellion, he can only hide in the mountains, and if he does not lose the throne, it will become a display.

"Brother Rong, have you figured it out?"

"Yes." Huan Rong took a deep breath and said, "It's not that Rong doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, but living in a troubled world, you can't find peace and stability, and this will happen. Brother Qin can help once, but he can't help many times. It is the only way to gain a foothold in the world and not be underestimated by the world.”

Qin Jing looked at Huan Rong deeply, her eyes were dark and deep, as if she wanted to look directly into the other person's heart through the appearance.

Huan Rong straightened his back, a little nervous, but also unspeakably excited.

With such a determination, he can truly stand on the same level as Qin Jing.In the future, the relationship between the two will be a real "cooperation", rather than "help" and "compromise".

"Okay." Qin Jing nodded, her expression slowed down, and the cold look in her eyes was gradually replaced by a smile, "I will leave tomorrow, Qin Lei and Qin Jian will stay, and ten more servants will stay."

"Brother Qin, this..." Huan Rong frowned, not wanting to accept it.

"These ten people were born in Hudi, and they know Murong Xianbei very well. The purpose of keeping them is to help Brother Rong train his troops, not to accompany him to the battlefield. After the war, Brother Rong can send him back. Of course," Qin Jing paused and smiled. , "In return, would Brother Rong be willing to give the letter to Jing?"

"Letter?" Huan Rong raised his eyebrows and asked strangely, "What's the purpose of Brother Qin's visit?"

"The content recorded by Brother Rong is of great use to Jing." Qin Jing said calmly, "If you are willing to give it as a gift, Jing will treasure it properly."

Huan Rong blinked, then turned to look at the notebooks that he wanted to pile up in the corner.

It's just a boring march, and the topography, customs, and refugees in counties and counties were recorded casually.Although it has certain value, it was unexpected that Qin Jing valued it so much.

"In that case, I will present it to Brother Qin."

"Thank you." Qin Jing leaned over and smiled, "A word to my brother, before returning to Yandu, it is best not to let others know the contents of the handbook."

Huan Rong raised his eyebrows, Qin Jing didn't explain further, took Huan Rong's wrist, and put a wooden scabbard in his palm.

"This is carved by Jing himself, made of bronze sword."

The scabbard is carved from wood, and it looks very new, without complicated patterns, only seal characters are carved on one side, carefully identified, it looks like a "Qin" character.

Qin Jue and Qin Yu sat beside him, without interjecting from the beginning to the end.In fact, Huan Rong and Qin Jing went back and forth, flirting with each other, and they couldn't get in the way.

However, Qin Jue was very fortunate to have listened to his elder brother's words, and did not make his own claims, and followed the battlefield in disguise as a Jin soldier.

Thinking about it carefully, Huan Rong is about the same age as him, but he is extraordinarily intelligent and able to compete with his elder brother. No wonder he is called a talented and beautiful jade by the great scholars in the South. treat.

Qin Yu was thinking of another matter.

Elder Brother gave Arong the scabbard, and according to what he said, the bronze sword was also in Arong's hands.My mother and aunt often told me that the bronze ware passed down from the ancestors should be given to the future wife, and then passed on to the children.

Brother gave it to Ah Rong?

Qin Yu tilted his head, and a row of question marks rose in his mind.

That night, the lights in the garrison were brightly lit, and the servants did not rest all night, and finally made twelve catapults.

Xun You drew up the formation and showed it to Huan Rong with two dark circles under his eyes.

The latter was yawning, with long hair hanging over his shoulders, the morning sun seemed to cast a layer of light and shadow around his body, and his skin was so white that it was almost transparent.

"Very good."

After seeing the formation diagram, Huan Rong rubbed his cheeks, wiped the corners of his eyes, and combed his hair casually, the picturesque features collapsed overnight.

"After breakfast, Zhong Ren will go with me to see the general."

"promise!"

On the same day, Liu Laozhi raised his account again and passed the formation map to the generals.

Combining Xun You and Zhong Lin's strategy of war, and the experience of Qin's servants fighting Xianbei cavalry, the phalanx was slightly adjusted, from a regular "rectangular" to a real "turtle shell".

Huan Rong rode at the front in a military chariot, flanked by newly equipped sword and shield soldiers, followed by bamboo spear soldiers, and more than a dozen catapults were added to the archer team. array.

"This formation is very good, the general is wise!"

Liu Laozhi governed the army rigorously, and his men rarely had wine bags and rice bags.All the generals applauded the ingenuity of the battle formation.

"It's a pity that the time is short. If we can have more time and let the soldiers practice more frequently, the cooperation in the formation will be more tacit."

One day is too short. Although the battle formation has changed, the main purpose of defense has not changed.

According to the thoughts of the several proprietors, it is a pity that such an exquisite battle formation is used for defense. It is really hard to fight against the Xianbei cavalry head-on.

Unfortunately, the situation does not allow.

To everyone, it was like a delicious stew in front of them, but there was a baffle, so they couldn't eat it, so how could they not scratch their heads.

After some discussion, the generals quickly dispersed and summoned the soldiers to practice.

Huan Rong returned to his residence to see Qin Jing brothers off.

Qin's team traveled several miles, Huan Rong still stood at the same spot, watching the horse team gallop away, kicking up the dust all over the sky, looking at the Xianbei army's camp in the distance, feeling a sense of pride in his chest.

How is Murong Chui?

What about the scumbag?

Now that things have come to an end, there is no way to retreat, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and swords, he must fight hard, fight hard!

Compared with Huan Rong's surge of pride, Huan Xi was dumbfounded when he heard the military order.

"I'm a wounded soldier!"

According to the rules of the Jin army, unless it is extremely urgent, it is basically unnecessary to go to the battlefield when he is injured like this.Among the wounded soldiers of the same army, many of them with less serious injuries did not need to go to battle. Why was he on the list?

When he heard that Huan Rong was leading the sword and shield soldiers before, he was secretly happy that this slave deserved to die a long time ago!Unexpectedly, the feng shui took turns, and before it was too long, the owner of the building personally ordered that he also join the army and join the battle.

Framed!

Someone must be framed!

"Wrong, it must be a mistake!"

Huan Xi struggled to get down on the bed, ignoring the unhealed club wound, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! I'm going to the Chinese Army to meet the commander-in-chief!"

The part of the order was staggered by the push, and he felt angry.Huan Xi was about to rush out of the military tent, and almost bumped into the dark-faced landlord.

"Banzhu." Huan Xi steadied his footsteps, cupping his fists unwillingly to salute.

Xu Banzhu looked at him up and down, and laughed contemptuously: "Where is Mr. Huan going?"

Knowingly ask!

Huan Xi clenched his teeth and tried his best to suppress his temper, so he didn't yell at him on the spot.Shen Sheng expressed his doubts, saying that he is a wounded soldier, and it is difficult to walk, how can he go to the battlefield.

"Wounded soldiers?" Xu Banzhu sneered again, "Captain Huan may have forgotten that you were not injured by the enemy, but violated military orders, so naturally you are not included in the list of preferential treatment. The generals who made mistakes should defend against the enemy and charge to atone for their sins with death!"

"What?!" Huanxi was furious.How dare a small proprietor speak to him like that? !

"I see Team Leader Huan can walk and run, has a ruddy complexion, and is full of energy. His injury has healed, and he will definitely be able to go to the battlefield."

Xu Banzhu glanced at Huanxi again, and ordered in front of him: "Tomorrow, you and Qian Sima will follow Captain Huan, remember to send Captain Huan to the front of the battle."

"promise!"

After saying these words, Master Xu turned around and left.

He is destined to be a dead person, so why bother talking.

Huan Xi stood in the tent, furious and out of breath.Slowly calming down, thinking about the sudden order and Xu Banzhu's attitude, his face turned pale little by little, and finally became completely pale.

Taihe four years, October

The soldiers of the Jin army came out to fight along the Yellow River with the Xianbei cavalry led by Murong Chui.

The two sides lined up on the bank of the river, the horses neighed, swords and swords fought, smoke and dust rose all over the ground, the atmosphere was chilling, and the air seemed to be full of murderous intent.

The vanguard and two armies lined up in front, with a total of more than [-] infantry, archers, and cavalry.

In order to encourage the morale of the army, Sima Huan drove out of the camp in person.

Wearing bright armor, the breastplate and back armor are so shiny that they can almost reflect the silhouette of a person.A treasured sword at his waist was obtained from the conquest of Cheng Han. It was made by a master craftsman of the Han Dynasty. It is extremely sharp and cuts iron like mud.

The battle flag is strong, the horn is sounded, and the long sound echoes in the ancient land.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, the soldiers of the Jin army finished their formation.

The left wing is quite satisfactory, not surprising.In front of the right wing was a pitch-black military chariot, followed by several strong men, "guarding" a general, who hardly left half a step away.

Huan Rong said that he wanted to drag people, but he couldn't really tie Huan Xi up.

In that case, anyone can see that something is wrong.

Arrange a few more people to "surround" Huanxi into battle, and the task can still be completed.

Because of the distance, Huan Da Sima only recognized the Wu chariot, but did not pay attention to the people behind the chariot.On the contrary, Xi Chao sensed that something was wrong, and asked people to inquire quickly.

"Yes, it's the prince of Nanjun..."

For a moment, Xi Chao's face turned pale.

Sima Huan's eyes swept over, Xi Chao didn't dare to hide it, and reported the truth.

"What did you say?!"

In an instant, Huan Wen's cheeks trembled, and his eyes almost devoured.

At this moment, Xi Yin's carriage approached.Sima pulled the reins in front of the chariot, the horse snorted and stopped there.

Standing on the chariot, Xi Ting envoy raised his voice and said, "Da Sima is dedicated to serving the country, father and son went into battle to fight against the enemy, Prince Huan and Duke Fengyang took the lead, they are not afraid of life and death, they are really a model for our generation."

Before being blocked by Huan Da Sima, his liver hurt, but he finally won a round, and Xi Tingshi laughed very happily.

In contrast, Da Sima Huan clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, almost bursting his brains out of anger, wishing he could draw his sword and kill someone on the spot.
