Huan Rong

More than a dozen carts of jerky were sent out, and Huan Rong gained the friendship of many big brothers, and the effect can be said to be immediate.

The 2000 people in the rear were transferred to the Beifu Army, and it went smoothly beyond imagination.

Huan Da Sima wanted to stop him, so Xi Min didn't need to come forward. The emissaries of various states came forward one after another, and blocked Huan Da Sima's words in a few words.

The power of "friendship" can be seen!

Huan Rong was lucky enough to watch the exchange of words between the big brothers, and from the beginning to the end, there was basically nothing but admiration and applause.

Participate in, say a few words?

As far as the facts are concerned, it is more realistic for him to continue making jumping shrimp.

If you are not at a certain level and do not have a wealth of "official student" experience, if you speak rashly, you will definitely be detoured into a ditch, and you will not be able to climb up even if you want to.

"It's still too tender."

Sitting in the military cart, biting the special jerky made by Ami, admiring the scenery outside the cart, Huan Rong sighed.

After the battle of Shenjian, the Jin army cleaned up the battlefield, took a short rest for a day, and then reorganized the team, went south from Ruyin, and entered Huainan County by land.

Learning from the previous lessons, Sima Huan abandoned Huairou methods and no longer intended to treat the captives preferentially.

If this is not the case, there must be more stares.

Xi Luoteng fell off his horse on the battlefield, but survived by luck, but was seriously injured and captured.

The doctor took a brief look, fixed the broken bone, and simply bandaged it to stop the bleeding. Xi Luoteng was tied up and tied to a temporary cart. He was pulled all the way by wounded Xianbei soldiers who were also captured, and followed the army southward.

In the battle of Shenjian, the Jin army suffered more than [-] casualties. Most of the dead were buried on the spot.If the injuries are too serious, they will be transported by carts, and doctors will take care of them.

In the past, wounded soldiers rarely received such treatment.

In case of serious injuries, especially severed limbs, basically one can only wait for death.

After Huan Rong was transferred to the Beifu Army, he discussed with Liu Laozhi and asked Xi Tingshi to improvise a wooden stretcher, and concentrated the medical officers in the camp to treat the wounded.

The Beifu army took the lead, and the governors of various states saw the effect and began to follow suit.

When Sima Huan found out about this, he sent out a batch of wound medicine for the first time, which surprised Huan Rong.

Even so, due to limited conditions, wounded soldiers still die on the road every day.

Seeing the bones buried by the roadside, Huan Rong once again realized the cruelty of troubled times.For these soldiers, even if they walk off the battlefield desperately, they may not be able to return home alive.

For this, the generals and soldiers of the army have long been used to it, even a little numb.

Seeing Huan Rong staring at the new grave by the side of the road, Liu Jianzhi rode his horse past, blocking his sight, and said, "This is how things are in the world, brother Rong has to get used to it."

Get used to it?

Huan Rong glanced at Liu Laozhi, unable to tell what was in his heart.He thought that he was gradually getting used to this world, and that he was hard enough to kill barbarians, but...

With a sigh, Huan Rong pulled up the car window, leaned against the car wall, and slowly closed his eyes.

When the army passed through Huainan, the local prefect led the county officials to greet the army, and prepared wine and roasted meat to reward the army.

"Master Tianwei, these two big victories have made the bandits frightened. It is really the luck of the Han family!"

The prefect of Huainan, surnamed Zhou, was born in the noble family of Xingjun, and was related to the great Confucian of the Zhou family who taught Huan Rong.

Huan Rong was reminded by Ah Mi, so he got off the car to greet him.

Taishou Zhou was a good-natured man, with a long beard hanging over his chest, clear eyebrows, standard Wu dialect, and a friendly smile.

"Brother Cong once said that the lord is holding a precious treasure, a weapon of Hulian. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation."

"To make the king too famous, to be ashamed and not to be worthy."

"It's right." Zhou Taishou said, "This time the Northern Expedition, Mr. Lang did not disturb the battle and captured the bandit Zhongshan King alive. He is truly brave and wise."

Huan Rong's face turned reddish.

Others don't know what's going on, but he knows what he is doing, and half of being able to catch Murong Chong is due to luck.

"Lang Jun willingly took the risk to stand behind the army, see through the treacherous schemes of the thieves, and send out news in time to help the army break through the encirclement. In the future, it will be the career of building a guard squad, and it will be an inexhaustible contribution."

Being praised like this face to face, Huan Rong's ears felt hot, and he even said that Zhou Taishou had too much praise.

The root cause is that he is not thick-skinned enough and lacks officialdom experience.

Xi Yin had an old relationship with Zhou Taishou. Seeing that he praised Huan Rong so much, he understood that his secret letter was sent to Jiankang, and the Wang and Xie gentry had already started to act.

Huan Yuanzi, as a powerful minister, controls the military power, and every time he stomps his feet, Jiankang's land will tremble three times.But in terms of popular popularity and control of public opinion, when meeting Wang Tanzhi, Xie An and others, they still have to take a shot.

With Zhou Taishou taking the lead, Huainan officials all praised Huan Rong.After praising the rightful lord, he praised Huan Da Sima again, bombarding him with all kinds of good words one after another.

Huan Wen's smile was a little distorted when he heard "Teaching children well" and "There are successors" one after another.However, face must be done, no matter how much you hold back your anger, if others praise your son, you can't turn your face on the spot.

Compared with Huan Rong's beauty, Huan Xi was completely forgotten.

The prince of Nanjun, who was so beautiful in the past, is lying in the car at this time, unable to move due to broken bones in his legs, and has to be attended to in everything.

After the doctor's diagnosis, it was said that Huanxi's injury was extremely serious. Even if the broken bone healed, he would not be able to walk like a normal person.To make matters worse, he hit a hard rock in his back, injured his spine, and had to recuperate all year round.

Due to Sima Huan's gloomy expression, the doctor could only pick the best words.

As far as the facts are concerned, Huanxi has become a useless person. He will spend the rest of his life lying in bed, eating, drinking, and messing with others to take care of him, and he is basically unable to take care of himself.

Naturally, the prince of the county cannot be a useless person.

Sima Huan knew it well, and so did Huan Xi.

After knowing the injury, Huan Xi seemed to be a different person, lying in the car all day long, staring at the roof of the car in a daze, without saying a word, almost stupid.He only reacted when he heard Huan Rong's name, his facial features were distorted for a moment, and his face looked like a ghost.

"Shizi Huan is greedy for military rations, and fearful of the enemy on the battlefield..."

Xi Yin deliberately suppressed Huan Wen's reputation so that he would not benefit from the Northern Expedition. Except for Murong Chong's escape, Huan Xi's mistakes must be written in detail.

With Huan Rong as a comparison, Huan Xi's mistake was instantly magnified several times.

There is no need to add oil and vinegar, the world will pursue the "truth".

How Sima Huan "trained" his son-in-law, and how he protected his son-in-law, all these things in between, no matter what, he couldn't hide it.

Once an impression is made, rumors cannot be suppressed, and the influence will not be easily eliminated.Huan Da Sima wanted to get rid of the name of "unkindness", but he was afraid that he would have a headache for a long time.

Xi Yin planned to trick Huan Da Sima, but Huan Rong didn't know that he was going to be passive again, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the caravan going in and out of the city gate.

"There are Tuyuhun people here?"

Seeing that he was curious, a clerk smiled and explained to him, saying: "Huainan is located on the border of a country. Although there are military disasters, it is also a place that caravans must pass through."

Huainan County is adjacent to Ruyin County. If business travelers from the north choose to land, most of them will pass through Liang County from Huainan and then enter the capital Jiankang.

As a result, although Huainan is an important place for military strategists, the city is extremely prosperous.

Silk and cloth from the south and camels, cattle and horses from the north can all be sold in the city.Every time the market opens, there must be people shouting and horses neighing, cars coming and going, and it is very lively.

However, because it is located on the border, there are strict regulations in the city. For example, the cattle and horse market must not be close to the government office, and the gentry and powerful people rarely come in and out.

After nightfall, the gates of the city will be closed, and gates will be put down in every li.Except for the county soldiers who patrol at night, anyone who walks at night will be arrested and imprisoned, and the origin cannot be explained. Regardless of the Han or Hu people, all will be punished as farm slaves.

Listening to Shu Zuo's explanation, Huan Rong couldn't help being speechless.Looking at the majestic Huainan city wall again, it is another feeling.

Forty thousand troops were stationed outside the city, and Sima Huan declined the invitation of Zhou Taishou and did not enter the city for the banquet.

Zhou Taishou didn't force it, and ordered the county soldiers to bring a big basket of steamed cakes to roast meat, as well as several tables of exquisite wine and dishes, and said with a smile: "I'm so kind, Da Sima, don't refuse."

After several months outside, there was not enough food and fodder, and the whole army was short of oil and water, and birds could fade out of their mouths.Even Sima Huan couldn't refuse such a "temptation", so he simply asked Zhou Taishou to stay in the tent and hold a banquet to celebrate.

Envoy Xi Ting and Liu Laozhi were invited to the banquet together. Although Huan Rong made great contributions, he was not high enough in rank, and he didn't expect his scumbag father's character, so no one came to invite him, so he was more at ease.

After nightfall, Huan Rong sat by the fire, baking steamed cakes and drinking broth with Xun You and Zhong Lin, which was also a kind of enjoyment.

"After the army passes through Huainan, it will pass through Liang County and enter Jiankang soon."

"According to the military system of this dynasty, if the army does not enter the capital, it should camp two hundred miles outside the city."

"If Da Sima wants to, the army will not pass through Liang County, but will transfer to Liyang and go straight to Yuzhou. When they arrive at Guyu, they can take charge of everything."

"Emissary Xi Ting will definitely not agree."

"The governor of Huainan has an old relationship with Mr. Xi Shijun. It may not be without deep meaning to ask the army to stay in Huainan for a while."

"really."

The steamed cake smelled burnt, and the discussion between Xun You and Zhong Lin came to an end.

Huan Rong didn't intervene, he tore open the slightly charred cake by himself and hissed when it was hot.

"Which way do you think Da Sima will choose?" Xun You asked aloud.

"Huh?" Huan Rong blew on the cake, picked up slices of roasted meat, put it with pickles into the cake, and took a big bite.

Enjoy!

"Your Majesty?"

Huan Rong waved his hand, the meaning was very clear, there is no time during the meal, we will discuss later.

Xun You was speechless.

Zhong Lin coughed twice, took off the scones and handed them to Xun You, blinking, didn't understand these days?In front of the Fujun, eating is the biggest thing, and he has to stay behind when doing everything.

The three of them ate cakes around the fire, and the soldiers in the battalion were all feasting on them.

The 2000 men who followed Huan Rong's palace did not lack meat, but the other generals did not.Seeing a large piece of roasted meat, both eyes can shine.The owner of the building and the leader of the team can hold back for a while, but the chief and the chief of the corps don't care too much, they roll up their sleeves and fight with the soldiers.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the bosses exchanged cups and cups, with a friendly face on their faces, and a dark tide behind them.

Outside the big tent, all the officers and soldiers opened their bellies, ate their mouths full of oil, and had no image at all.

Huan Rong ate six steamed pancakes, three pieces of roast meat the size of a fist, and a bowl of steaming broth, and was barely half full.Putting the steamed cakes on the fire again, looking at the two servants who were already full and could only accompany him to tear the crusts, he said with a smile, "Just now Zhongren asked me which way Da Sima would choose."

Xun You stopped moving, looked at Huan Rong seriously, and said, "Do you have an answer, Mr. Fu?"

"No."

"..."

"However, no matter what Da Sima decides, it doesn't matter to me."

Xun You frowned slightly, Zhong Lin was also a little puzzled.

Huan Rong turned the steamed cakes one by one, took the sauce prepared by A millet, carefully brushed it on the cake, and said: "I have been an official for more than a year, and I have never returned home to visit. On the twelfth day, all officials can take vacations, and I will return to Jiankang to reunite with my mother and do my filial piety."

La Ri is an ancient Chinese festival with a long history, which was recorded as early as the Xia and Shang Dynasties.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, La Ri was regarded as a day of reunion. When meeting officials who valued festivals, some prisoners with minor crimes would be sent home for the festival.

People at that time valued filial piety.

Now that the army has returned to the south, if Huan Rong wants to go back to Jiankang to reunite with his mother, he will only be praised by the world, no one will criticize him and accuse him of capricious behavior.

"Therefore, whether the army goes to Liang County or enters Liyang, it doesn't matter to me."

Before arriving in Huaiyang, Huan Rong was a little bit worried, but Zhou Taishou reminded him.

"Zhou Taishou ever mentioned this?"

"I didn't say it directly." Huan Rong took down the steamed cake and said, "Mr. Zhou only said that the twelfth lunar month is approaching, people who have gone out will return home one after another, and the city will become more and more lively. If I want to, I can go to the city to have a look."

Both Xun You and Zhong Lin are smart people, and after thinking about it for a while, they understood the implication.

It doesn't matter whether Zhou Taishou did it on purpose or not.

What's important is that this reminded Huan Rong that he didn't have to follow in the footsteps of his scumbag father and passively accept every move. He could use this as an excuse to leave.

If it was the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, this kind of behavior would be unimaginable.Even in the early years of the Three Kingdoms period, they would be charged with violating military orders.

In the Jin Dynasty, unrestrained and unrestrained is the fashion, unrestrained is a must, and unrestrained is the character.Coupled with Huan Rong's filial piety, respect for tradition, and great righteousness, he wanted to return to Jiankang, and Sima Huan really couldn't stop him.

After eating the steamed cakes, Huan Rong took a cloth towel to wash his hands.

The night wind picked up and the weather turned cold.

Huan Rong sneezed, stood up, and planned to go back to the car to rest.

Just two steps away, Zhong Lin suddenly heard: "Your Majesty, the assassins from all states are at the banquet, and the governor of Huainan is present, why don't you take advantage of this time to invite the Chief Sima?"

Huan Rong stopped and turned to look at Zhong Lin.

"What does Kong Yu mean?"

"There is a lot of rain and snow in winter, and since the Lord Fu wants to return to Jiankang, he should set off at the end of the day."

The subtext is: the road in winter is not easy to walk, and it is best to start as soon as possible.Hitting the sun is worse than choosing the day, big men from all states were present, Huan Rong spoke at this moment, Sima Huan had to let go because of face.

"Your Majesty, what Kong Yu said is reasonable."

Witnessed by the governors of various states, Huan Rong's reputation of filial piety will surely spread far and wide.In the future, if someone criticizes with the gap between father and son, what happened today is the best rebuttal.

Who said the ruler is not filial?

Stretch out your face, it won't swell you!

Zhong Lin and Xun You glanced at each other, knowing what each other meant, they were determined to persuade Huan Rong together, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is a day to go early.It is best to speak today and leave early tomorrow morning!

Huan Rong raised his eyebrows, pondered for two seconds, clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Good!"

In the camp of the Chinese army, the bonfire was burning.

The smell of wine and meat wafted through the camp, and bursts of hearty laughter came from the big tent from time to time, which seemed to be able to dispel the cold and damp winter.

Huan Rong came to the tent on foot, but was stopped by patrolling soldiers, who opened his mouth to explain his purpose.The soldiers asked him to wait a while, and walked a few steps quickly to tell Mo Qu, who took a look at Huan Rong, and immediately reported it to the account.

After a while, there was a sudden pause in the laughter in the tent, and a series of songs came out from the big tent, please come in.

"Please, Lieutenant Huan."

Huan Rong nodded with a smile, cleaned up his clothes, and walked into the tent.

The curtain is half-draped, there is still a cool breeze behind, but the warmth blows in front, with a strong aroma of wine, making people want to get drunk.

Huan Rong's alcohol capacity is average, and he drinks a lot.Just smelling the aroma of wine, his face turned red.Smoked by the warmth, he clenched his fingers in secret before he stepped forward steadily, walked around the brazier placed on the ground, and bowed his hands in salute.

"I have seen the commander-in-chief, all envoys."

Huan Wen was not wearing armor, and his dark clothes were ripped open at the neckline, with a smile on his face, and he smelled of alcohol when he spoke.

"Get up, what's the matter?"

"Yes." Huan Rong said respectfully, "My son was an official in Yandu last year, and he hasn't returned home for a year. Now the army is triumphant, and the festival is approaching. Father, please return to Jiankang first, and reunite with mother."

Before Huan Wen could speak, Xi Yin shook his palm first and said, "Lang Jun is very filial, good! If you have a son like this, you will have no regrets in your life!"

As soon as this remark was made, everyone echoed it.

Huan Wen's alcoholism subsided somewhat, and his eyes narrowed slightly.Xi Chao, who was sitting with him in the tent, lowered his head and clenched the wine cup tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force.

"Ah Zi, do you know military regulations?"

"Go back to father, I know." Huan Rong said in a deep voice, "However, filial piety is the way of a son, I wish I could avoid asking for military exploits, I just hope to see my mother!"

While speaking, Huan Rong knelt down on the ground, his eyes drooped and his sockets were red, showing his acting skills to the fullest.

"Brother, Gua'er is so filial, let him agree." Huan Chong said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Huan Huo wanted to answer.Coupled with the foreshadowing made by Xi Yin before, everyone in the tent sighed that Huan Rong was filial, and Sima Huan had a good son.

Sima Huan finally had a personal experience of what it was like to have his lungs pierced through.

"Father, my brother was seriously injured before, and he must not be able to take care of him in the army. Why don't you go back to Jiankang with your son, search for famous doctors, and take good care of him."

Huan Rong's expression is sincere, his words are sincere, his mother is filial, and the image of friendly brothers is more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Huan Da Sima was grinding his back molars, almost crushing the wine cup.Facing the crowd, he forced himself to smile, praised Huan Rong, and agreed to his request.

As for exempting military exploits, of course it can't be taken seriously.Taking Huanxi back to Jiankang together, let alone take it seriously.Even if Sima Huan let go, Huan Xi would rather die than leave with Huan Rong.

"Thank you father!"

Huan Rong retired without delay, and immediately returned to the camp to pack his luggage and set off at dawn.

Sima Huan watched him leave the big tent, holding his breath in his chest.

He was wrong.

This son should not have been sent out of Jiankang in the first place.

How can a tiger enter the mountains and a fish enter the ocean, how can it be controlled by others again!

Thinking of Huan Rong, compared with the other sons, Da Sima Huan couldn't help but feel lost, he picked up the cup and drank it down, only feeling the bitterness of the wine, which went all the way to his heart.

Huan Rong returned to the Jin land in the south, and everything went smoothly.

Murongchui's uncle and nephew who fled from Ruyin were in a panic.

Suffering two big defeats, ten to seven of Murong Chui's best men, almost all of the remaining hundreds of people were injured.

Ran Ganjin died in battle at Fangtou, Xi Luoteng was captured in Shenjian, the former Yuzhou assassin failed to set up an ambush and died in battle. Fanyang King Murongde escaped by chance, and only sent more than a hundred cavalry guards, with the remaining few Thousands of people returned to the fief, obviously angry with Murong Chui, and refused to join forces with him to send troops again.

Murong Chui was furious, but he had nowhere to vent it.Jian Murong Chong's body was injured by the arrow, and he developed a faint high fever, so he could only bring a few hundred people back to Yuzhou, and lay dormant for the time being.

As a result, the leak in the house happened to be raining overnight, and just after entering the state border, they encountered a group of fleeing soldiers.

"What's going on?" Murong Chui was shocked when he recognized Feng Luo who was in a mess and was covered in injuries.

Could it be that Murong Ping took advantage of his absence, or was he begging Xianbei out of malice?

"Governor, he is a Han!" Feng Luo's face was covered with dust, his armor was covered with blood, a knife mark extended from his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth, and his left eye was useless.

"Han people?"

"The black armored cavalry are the servants of Qin's Wubao!"

Feng Luo fell off his horse and told the story of the attack in one breath.

There was a fire in Jingzhou a few days ago, and more than 1 beggars and Xianbei were slaughtered. Feng Luo sent people to check, but when they returned, they were followed by Qin's servants, and they were even found out of the weak spots of the camp.

"The leader of the army is the fourth son of the Qin family!"

"The Han people were cunning and attacked the camp at night. The left camp was completely burned, half of the right camp was destroyed, and all the food and grass in the camp were burned."

"Not counting that, they still have catapults and rockets in their hands! At least 3000 people took advantage of the chaos in the camp to rush into the camp and kill them."

"The elite of the army went to battle with the governor. The battalion guards were defeated, and most of them suffered casualties. The last general was incompetent, and only led more than a thousand people to kill them. They were bitten all the way. When they fled here, there were less than 800 people."

When Feng Luo said this, his voice became choked up.

"Where is the son? Where is my son?"

"Your Majesty and several young masters left the camp from the north. Where they are now, the general really doesn't know."

With a buzzing sound, Murong Hang's mind roared, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell off his horse.
