Former Qin Fengyun

How could Tan Xuan, who is careful and steady, not know Huan Wen's thoughts, but he was only an ordinary general, how could he fight against the great Sima Huan Wen who had the military power in his hands.Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said to his confidant, deputy general Zhou Ning: "Leave quietly tonight, and secretly bring Die Die, the top girl in Zuixiang Building in Health City, to the camp."

Zhou Ning knew very well that Tan Xuan was not a good person, but because of this, he looked at him in surprise.

Tan Xuan understood his doubts, so he explained: "The guard of Hulu City is Murong Zhong, a member of the royal family of Yan Kingdom, how can he reject a beauty from thousands of miles away?"

Zhou Ning said with a smile: "The general is very strategic."

But Tan Xuan said helplessly: "If not, wouldn't you be hitting a rock with an egg?"

Two days later, Tanxuan led his troops to station in Jin State, thirty miles away from Hulu City.That night, Zhou Ning, who was wearing casual clothes, brought a large wooden box to the Chinese military tent.Tan Xuan immediately said to the others in the account: "Everyone go down."

Everyone saluted and said yes to go down.

Then Tan Xuan asked: "Has the matter been settled?"

Zhou Ning nodded and opened the box, pulling out the flowery butterfly whose hands were tied and gagged with cloth.Butterfly looked around and was very timid.

Tan Xuan walked in front of her and said, "Don't be afraid, I need your help with one matter. If you do it well, I will reward you ten taels and let you go."

Butterfly nodded.Then Tan Xuan personally untied him and took out the gag cloth.Butterfly asked timidly: "Dare to ask the general, can women of the people know how to drink wine?"

Tan Xuan said with a smile: "The sky is high enough for birds to fly."

On the second day, half a mile outside Hulu City, there were lanterns, festoons, colorful gongs and drums, and colorful sheds were set up.Pedestrians rushed to tell each other that there was a peerless beauty dancing here.After hearing the news, Murong Zhong, who had been doing nothing in Hulu City for a long time, immediately changed into casual clothes and left the city with a dozen guards.

When they rode fast horses to the colorful shed, they saw butterflies in pink and white dresses with picturesque features, just like fairies descending from the moon palace.Seeing Murong Zhong was mesmerized and intoxicated, his six souls had no master.

At the same time, Tan Xuan, Zhou Ning and their [-] elite soldiers, who were also dressed in casual clothes, were also looking for Murong Zhong in the vast crowd.Suddenly, Tan Xuan finds Murong Zhong who is rich and powerful despite wearing plain clothes.But because he was not sure, he brought someone to Murong Zhong's side.

When Tan Xuan just wanted to speak, he was stopped by many guards around Murong Zhong.Tan Xuan pretended to be afraid to retreat, but the unsuspecting Murong Zhong said: "They are all spectators, step back." The guards saluted and said that they should step back.

Tan Xuan bowed to Murong Zhong and pointed to the butterfly on the stage and said: "This is the elder brother of this girl. Because of the heavy debts in the family, I reluctantly let her show up in public, and want to find a son from a wealthy family as a concubine. I don't know son "He didn't go on.

When Murong Zhong heard this, he said happily as if he had found a treasure: "To tell you the truth, I am the prefect of this place, and Murong Zhong is a member of the royal family. If your younger sister comes to the mansion, she will definitely enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Tan Xuan intentionally looked Murong Zhong hesitantly up and down.Impatient Murong Zhong immediately took out his badge from his pocket and showed it to Tan Xuan.After Tan Xuan confirmed that the waist card was correct, he smiled.Then he drew a knife and pressed it on his neck, and two hundred Jin troops immediately surrounded Murong Zhong.When the people saw that something was wrong, they fled one after another.

Although Murong Zhong was very scared, he pretended to be calm and said loudly: "Who are you waiting for?

Tan Xuan smiled slightly, and then with a wave of his hand, Zhou Ning led two hundred Jin troops to kill Murong Zhong's guards one by one.When Murong Zhong saw it, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.And Tan Xuan ordered someone to tie him up with a thick rope and put him on the horse.

After three sticks of incense, Tan Xuan led ten thousand Jin troops to the Hulu city.The generals in the city hurriedly ordered people to prepare bows and arrows.At this moment, Tan Xuan threw Murong Zhong from his horse to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Murong Zhong is here now, quickly open the city gate. Otherwise, he will be hacked into pieces!"

Murong Zhong, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, shouted in fright: "Quickly open the city gate!"

Although the generals in the city wanted to resist, the main general was already in the hands of the Jin army, and Murong Zhong was a relative of the emperor.So he ordered the gates to be opened.

In this way, Tanxuan occupied the Hulu City of Yan State without losing a single soldier.

The news that Hulu City was occupied by the Jin army spread like wildfire, and soon spread to Yecheng.The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun urgently summoned the Tai Fu Shangyong Wang Murong Ping to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures.

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun said anxiously: "What should I do? Why don't you let King Wu?" She didn't finish.

Murong Ping shook his head and said: "Don't panic, Queen Mother. Murong Zhong is an incompetent person, and it is reasonable to lose Hulu. Murong Li, the king of Shangpi, fought bravely, and he can be used as the governor of the conquest. Fu Yan, the general of the right guard, is the vanguard. , leading [-] troops. In this way, the Jin army will surely be defeated."

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun nodded and said: "I hope we can win the battle and drive away the Jin army. Otherwise" she didn't continue.

Murong Ping knew what she was going to say, so he said: "Wu King Murong Chui must not be allowed to control the military power."

At the same time, Duan Qingqiu in Prince Wu's residence was studying with Murong Ling and Murong Bao.Seeing Wu Wang Murong Chui walking in with a low will, Duan Qingqiu hastily stood up and saluted.After Murong Chui asked her to get up, he asked, "How is the second son studying today?"

Duan Qingqiu replied: "Everyone is good, especially Ling'er, Mr. always praises his intelligence."

Only then did Murong Chui loosen his frowning eyebrows.

Duan Qingqiu tried to ask: "I don't know why the prince is worried about it?"

Murong Chui sighed softly, and said: "The Jin army has attacked and has occupied the lake and land."

Duan Qingqiu said in surprise: "The prince" but she didn't continue.

Murong Chui smiled wryly: "If it's Qingning, I won't say anything." Then he clenched his fists and said angrily: "They don't even care about Yan Guo." He didn't finish.

Duan Qingqiu immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and said nervously: "My lord!"

Murong Chui gently put down Duan Qingqiu's hand and held it in his hand.At this moment, Wang Hao came over with a full face, and seeing the two of them so close, she said jealously: "It's like this in broad daylight, Duan Qingqiu, you are really..." She hadn't finished speaking.

Murong Chui got up abruptly, walked quickly to him and said sharply: "The days are too leisurely, so you have nothing to do?"

Seeing that Murong Chui was angry, Ke Zuhunrong bowed his head in fright and remained silent.

Murong Chui turned around and said: "Ling'er, Bao'er, follow father back." Then they pulled Duan Qingqiu, and the four of them left.Leaving behind a livid complexion.

The next day, Murong Li, king of Xiapi, left Yecheng with an army of [-].Two days later, the army was stationed in Huangxu.Murong Li said to Fu Yan, the general on the right, "You lead [-] troops to raid Huan Wen."

Fu Yan asked suspiciously: "General, before the two armies started fighting, did they divide into two groups? It's better to concentrate their forces and defeat them one by one. After all, Huan Wen Tanxuan" he didn't finish.

Murong Li said displeasedly: "Just because you all think that this should be done in this way, so you do the opposite, this is a surprising way to win."

Seeing this, Fu Yan didn't dare to say much, so she had to salute and say yes.

That night, Fu Yan took advantage of the darkness and led [-] troops to leave Huangxu.But this was clearly seen by Tan Xuan's detailed work.When Xi Zuo told Tan Xuan about this, Tan Xuan laughed uncontrollably: "God help me too!"

The next day, Murong Li, King of Xiapi, brought [-] Yan troops to Hulu City.Tanxuan led five thousand Jin troops out of the city to fight.

Murong Li carefully looked at Tan Xuan on the opposite side, seeing that he was tall and tall with a straight nose and a straight mouth, so he said, "Are you Tan Xuan?"

Tan Xuan looked at the arrogant general in front of him, and he had confidence in his heart, pointing his hand deliberately and said arrogantly: "Who is coming?"

Murong Li replied proudly, "Xiapi King Murong Li."

Tan Xuan said with a smile: "A few days ago Murong Zhong was captured alive, and now another Murong Li is here. That's fine, I will let you and other relatives get together!"

Then the two fought together.Within twenty rounds, Tan Xuan intentionally exposed his flaws, was defeated and led his troops back to the city.And Murong Li, who thought he had defeated Tan Xuan, was already defiant and pretentious.

For the next three days, Murong Li led troops to fight every day.But Tan Xuan did not come out, making Murong Li mistakenly believe that he is invincible.So on the fourth day, Murong Li brought his only [-] Yan troops to Hulu City again.But this time it was not a battle, but a strong attack.

Although the Yan army outnumbered the Jin army, the Jin army was in the city and had a favorable geographical position.Therefore, although the Yan army captured the city, there were many casualties.Tan Xuan led ten thousand Jin troops to run westward, but when Murong Li saw it, how could he let go of this opportunity to ask for credit and reward, and immediately led Yan troops to chase them out.

This pursuit is five miles away.Both were hungry and thirsty and exhausted.In order to speed up, the Jin army threw their armor, water bottles and dry food on the ground.

Seeing this, Murong Li said to himself: "How far can the Jin army run without water? Why don't you let all the soldiers rest for a while before chasing them later." So he stopped his horse and ordered: "Stay where you are. moment."

When all the soldiers heard this, they immediately ate the water and dry food discarded by the Jin army without any scruples.The pampered Murong Li naturally wouldn't eat these things, but just sat under the tree and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Suddenly, Murong Li heard several screams.So, he immediately opened his eyes to watch it, but was frightened by the sight in front of him.I saw that everyone in the Yan army fell to the ground and vomited blood, dying soon.Murong Li pointed to the kettle and dry food in Yan Jun's hand, exclaimed: "This is poisonous!" Then, he immediately got on his horse and ran towards Yecheng.

After a stick of incense, Tan Xuan and Zhou Ning rushed back with ten thousand Jin troops.Seeing that all the Yan soldiers were dead, but only Murong Li was not seen.Zhou Ning saluted and said to Tan Xuan: "General, the last general will immediately lead people to chase after him."

But Tan Xuan shook his head and said: "Don't chase after the poor, just let him go."

At the same time, Huan Wen frowned when he learned that Tan Xuan had won two beautiful victories and captured the city, and said, "The old man underestimates the juniors."

At this moment, Xi Chao came in, saluted and said, "Da Sima."

Huan Wen raised his head and asked, "How are you going?"

Xi Chao replied, "Everything is in order."

Huan Wen said, "In that case, let's go."

Xi Chao saluted and said yes.

Xu Fan, the prefect of Gaoping City, was walking back and forth anxiously in the hall.At this time, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress came in with a tray, and asked Xu Fan softly, "I don't know why you are so sad that you haven't eaten lunch?"

After Xu Fan saw this beauty, he just smiled.He went to the beauty and took the tray and put it on the table, and said: "The beauty does not know that the Jin army has captured two cities, and its main force is still coming to the country of Yan. And my Gaoping city Adjacent to the state of Jin," he hadn't finished.

The beauty smiled and said: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Why should your lord worry about these obvious things?"

Xu Fan said with a smile: "The beauty is right, why worry about it. Come and accompany me." He didn't finish.

A servant walked in from outside the hall and saluted and said: "My lord, there is a person outside the mansion who wants to see you."

Xu Fan asked, "Who do you know?"

The servant shook his head and replied, "I'm not a local, and I'll bring two wooden boxes."

Xu Fan said: "Take this person to meet in the hall."

The servant saluted and said yes to go down.

Xu Fan then said to the beauty: "Beauty wait for a while, go and come back."

Xi Chao was led to the side hall by his servants and retreated.He looked around at the furnishings in the hall. Although it was a side hall, it was full of treasures and antiques, and he became more confident.

After a while, Xu Fan walked in with two servants.He who had never met Xi Chao asked, "Your Excellency?"

Xi Chao bowed his hands and said, "I am the messenger." After speaking, he handed the letter in his arms to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan opened the letter to read it, but when he finished reading it, his face changed drastically. He looked at Xi Chao in surprise, and then looked at the two wooden boxes.After pondering for a while, he said to his servant: "Bring the official seal."

The servant saluted and said yes to go down.

After a while, the servant handed over the official seal to Xu Fan with both hands.Xu Fan took it and said, "Back off."

The two servants saluted and said yes to go down.

Then, Xu Fan walked up to Xi Chao and saluted and said: "I have no eyes, and I hope you will forgive me for my negligence."

Xi Chao said with a smile: "Those who don't know don't blame it, it doesn't matter."

Xu Fan handed over the official seal to Xi Chao with both hands.Xi Chao took over and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, Master Xu's future is limitless."

Xu Fan saluted again and said, "I hope my lord can give you some more points."

Xi Chao nodded and said, "I'm on official business, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time. Take my leave."

Xu Fan personally sent Xi Chao out of the mansion, then went back to the side hall and closed the doors and windows, went to the two wooden boxes and opened them, and couldn't help smiling when he saw the golden gold ingots inside.

As night fell, a few dark clouds covered the bright moonlight.The black sparrows on the tree screamed from time to time, which made people shudder.At this time, Xu Fan came to the east gate with a hundred soldiers.The guards of the city immediately walked up to him, saluted and said, "I don't know what is the important thing for you to come here?"

Xu Fan neither asked him to get up, nor did he reply, but he dodged backwards.One of the soldiers behind him raised his knife and dropped it, the head of the guard fell to the ground, and the other guards were shocked.

Xu Fan picked up the head from the ground and said loudly: "It's hard to live in troubled times, so you can decide for yourself!" After finishing speaking, Xu Fan's soldiers opened the gate of the city wide, and the Jin army who had been waiting for a long time poured in like a tide.All the officers and men guarding the city saw that they were done, and they all put their weapons on the ground for self-protection.

In this way, Huan Wen and the Jin army occupied Gaoping without any casualties.Just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, a travel-worn reporter got off his horse, came to Huan Wen and saluted and said: "I report to the Great Sima that General Fu Yan of Yan led [-] troops, which is less than ten miles away."

Huan Wen said lightly, "It's just in time."

On the side, the champion general Deng Xia and the Yingyang general Zhu Xu asked for help.Huan Wen nodded and said, "Lead [-] troops and attack from left and right."

The two saluted and said yes to go down.

Fu Yan, who was known to have lost many places, knew that the battle would be fierce, but he did not hesitate to lead his troops to fight Huan Wen because he regarded his reputation as the most important thing.Suddenly, countless Jin troops rushed out from the woods on both sides of the road, so the two sides fought fiercely.The Yan army was smaller than the Jin army in number, and its morale was far inferior.Therefore, in less than an hour, the general situation was settled, and the Yan army either fled or killed.

At this time, Deng Xia, the champion general known as "Fan Kuai" in the world, found Fu Fuyan who was fighting with several Jin troops in the chaotic crowd.Without saying a word, Deng Xia and Fu Yan fought together.How could Fu Yan, who was tired and hungry, be Deng Xia's opponent, so in less than ten rounds, Fu Yan died in Deng Xia's hands.

As soon as the main general died, the Yan army was completely defeated.In this way, the [-] Yan army sent by Yan State was defeated.Overjoyed, Huan Wen held a banquet to reward the three armies.

During the banquet, Xi Chao said to Huan Wen: "Da Sima, this year is dry, and there has been no rain until May. However, the river is shallow, so the river should be dredged to keep the water transport smooth."

Huan Wen said with a smile: "Xu Yin Tianlong took a rest, and the rain will come soon."

Three days later, there was still no rain.Therefore, Huan Wen, who was a little worried, ordered thousands of Jin soldiers and their captured civilians to rush to work day and night, but because the time was too short, the river could not be dug deep and wide, and only a small number of boats could be used.

In July, Huan Wen entered Wuyang, and Sun Yuan, who was only interested in profit, led his clan to respond.Soon after, Huan Wen arrived at Fangtou.

At this time, Xi Chao saluted Huan Wen again and said: "Da Sima, it's now July, and it's getting colder day by day, and it's far away from the Yellow River. Although the river can still be transported by water at this time, if it doesn't rain for a long time, it will be difficult to transport grain. And all the soldiers are wearing single clothes. It is better to concentrate several Jin troops to attack Yecheng, forcing them to surrender or make Emperor Yan abandon the capital. But if the Yan army sticks to Yecheng and does not break through for a long time, our army will fall to Pingyang. It is better to fight As soon as it reaches the Yellow River, control several major river courses and water transportation, dig deep river courses, and raise more grain and grass. Wait until next summer to attack, and we will surely destroy Yan."

However, Huan Wen said confidently: "July and August are the rainy season, and the current situation is like a broken bamboo, and several cities are being pulled out. The capital of the Yan Kingdom is in front of us. If we stop at this time, our morale may be weakened."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Xi Chao stopped talking.
