Trivia at the end of the Jin Dynasty

Chapter 62

Xie Jue led the troops to Xin'an to join Tao Jiang and his apprentices. They didn't hurry along the way, they just walked and stopped, and the sergeants who were happy to protect each other took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery. Then no one will pay the bill.

I haven't seen Tao Jiang for a long time, and saw that although he was thinner again, he looked radiant, and felt a little doubtful, but he didn't ask, because Xie Zhong's complacent expression seemed to reveal some unsavory news.

But at this time, he has no intention of discussing other people's affairs, because his enemy is demonstrating against him step by step. For so long, that person's life is too comfortable!

Tao Jiang and Xie Zhong came out together to welcome this important guest.Tao Jiang's expression was indifferent, but Xie Zhong was very warm, and he kept saying that the only relatives he had were each other, and they wanted to join hands.

It's just that these words don't say that today, even Xie Jue when he was a child, I'm afraid it sounds like cold water pouring on a stubborn stone, leaving no trace.

After settling down Xie Jue and his party, Xie Zhong pulled the teacher over and asked, "Xie Jue's expression seems normal, and there is no heresy. What does the teacher think?"

Tao Jiang said: "This person has always been hiding his secrets, but since he came here, he has made up his mind to kill him, don't worry."

Xie Chong said: "But he didn't bring any troops to come, is he so confident?"

Tao Jiang said: "Do you think Huan Xuan will let him take the risk alone? We don't send a large army to follow, because we are afraid that he will not be able to relieve his emotions along the way, and it will be inconvenient to march in a hurry. After a while, General Gu's troops will follow .”

When Xie Zhong heard Gu Kaizhi's name, he was a little surprised, but hurriedly put it away, and said: "What the teacher said is, it seems that Gu Qing will return to the army soon."

Tao Jiangdao: "General Gu should not stay for too long, so he will go to the Jingkou area. As the vanguard, Xie Jue should have arranged it like this."

Hearing this, Xie Chong was a little relieved, and his brows were relaxed a little bit, and he said with a smile: "No one in the world can escape the teacher's insightful eyes."

Tao Jiangdao: "Nowadays we have to be on the lookout for troubles in the court. Sima Daozi will never stand by and watch Liu Laozhi join forces with us. He must take action. You have sent more spies to Jiankang to inquire about news recently."

Xie Zhong saluted deeply and said, "I would like to obey the teacher's order."

Sure enough, as Tao Jiang expected, three days later, news came from Jiankang that Sima Yuanxian had poisoned Sima Shangzhi at home, and quickly handed over the rest of his party, and even took his fiefs back to the court.

As soon as this incident happened, it was very strange, but the real intention of Sima Daozi and his son could not be seen.Although Sima Shangzhi has been entrenched in Dantu Guangling for some time, he has been contending with the imperial court, but the two sides have always been superficial in their fights, and they have never cut grass and roots with real swords and guns. Why is this happening?

When there were threats from Liu Laozhi and the Huan family on the periphery, he cut off the arm that was the easiest to support him first, and even Tao Jiang, who was a master of things, couldn't tell what the purpose of this move was.

Tao Jiang originally wanted to come forward to discuss with Xie Jue, but felt that he might have understood at this time that Liu Jianzhi's sudden visit was due to his own tricks, so he could only let Xie Zhong go to find out.

Xie Jue knew Xie Zhong's intention of coming to the study for a visit, so he ordered the boy to grind, and sat in front of the case and wrote: "The court's move is indeed suspicious, but after one move, there must be a backhand. You and I can wait and see what happens."

Xie Chong said: "It's a very important matter, can you make a divination first to see if it's good or bad?"

Xie Jue felt a little melancholy thinking that Huan Xuan often advised him not to search for secrets and hurt himself for these things, so he wrote: "The time has not come."

Xie Zhong frowned, and said, "This is not your style. In the past, you had to predict the outcome before you were willing to make a move. What's wrong now? Are you willing to let others take the lead?"

Xie Jue didn't know why, but felt a little irritated in his heart, so he didn't write any more, and raised his hand to signal the boy to see off the guest.

Seeing that he came back this time, Xie Chong felt very strange, and refused to say more, so he left angrily.

The boy sent Xie Chong to the door, then opened the curtain and walked back.

Xie Zhong met and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

The little boy stopped and saluted again: "What did you ask me?"

Xie Chong said: "Are Xie Jue and Huan Xuan too close?"

The little boy said, "Not as good as you and your husband."

Xie Zhong was taken aback, and smiled charmingly: "Can you see it?"

The little boy said: "Aren't you afraid that things will be revealed, General Gu won't let you?"

Xie Da laughed and said: "If Gu Kaizhi stops him, he will die without a burial. I have waited for too long."

The little boy said: "Check your husband's body carefully, he doesn't look very well."

Xie Zhong said: "I have a measure."

The little boy turned to leave, Xie Zhong said again: "Why doesn't Xie Jue do divination anymore?"

The little boy said: "Because someone is reluctant."

Xie nodded emphatically, and said nothing more, because he saw infinite contempt and contempt in Xiaotong's eyes.Everyone has their own aspirations, Huan Xuan is willing to be an idiot who works hand in hand and exchanges hearts for hearts, but he Xie Zhong can only be a villain who grovels and rapes the teacher.The purpose is to let the person in my heart stay by my side, but the means are different, and the results are different.

The grain transport troops sent first were sent to various places in Xuzhou, and Gu Kaizhi's troops were also ready to go. This time, the expedition to Huanxuan was a bloody effort, basically mobilizing all the troops in Jiangjing and Jingzhou, and even the troops that could be mobilized in Guangzhou. , also took advantage of it, led by Huan Wei and Yin Zhongwen respectively.

The three armies are ready, just waiting to be ordered to fight.

Xuzhou's battle report, eight hundred miles hastened, and flew to Nanjun with gunpowder smoke.After Huan Xuan read the letter, he felt as if he had been hit hard on the head. Suddenly, gongs and drums blared, regardless of north and south.Huan Wei saw that his face suddenly turned pale and his fingers trembled slightly, so he took the battle report and saw that the letter read:

"The soldiers of Sima Yuanxian and Liu Lao divided into two groups and jointly attacked Xin'an. Our army has shrunk and is already engaged in a difficult battle. Please send troops to support."

Huan Wei was also slightly taken aback, and he knew why Huan Xuan was so nervous, but after thinking about it, he couldn't understand why Liu Jianzhi had just come to show his favor, and then turned his back on his word and launched an army to punish him.

Then he asked, "What does Liu Laozhi imply?"

Huan Xuan ignored his elder brother's words, but suddenly grabbed his hand tightly and said: "In this case, we can only dispatch troops quickly. This trip is very dangerous. Please take care of yourself, elder brother, and don't put yourself in danger."

Huan Wei said: "Jingdao, don't worry, I will do my best to protect the safety of Young Master Sui."

Huan Xuan's eyes became more and more serious, and he said: "Elder brother knows my heart very well, but you two are the only people in this world that I can't lose, and elder brother should do his best to protect himself."

Huan Wei said: "Don't worry, with General Gu leading the battle, I will be safe, and when the military situation is stable, we will meet naturally."

Huan Xuan said: "I will try my best to mediate, find out the whole story, and then make a plan. If there is no room, I will follow my brother life and death."

Huan Wei patted Huan Xuan on the shoulder, without further emotion, he went down to arrange for troops to be dispatched.

Huan Xuan sent his elder brother and General Gu away, and made some calculations. If he sent troops by force, he would have to personally guard Huan's Iron Armored Army and the 1 troops at the border.

The terrain of Xin'an City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is a battle of trapped beasts, it will be enough for Xie Jue to last for several months. What's more, General Gu, his brother, and Yin Zhongwen's three-way army should be safe if they go to the rescue.

It's just that Xie Jue is facing Liu Laozhi's troops, and he can't hide his hatred. If Tang stands out, he will be in danger.For the current plan, we can only rely on Mr. Tao Jiang's ingenious plan to calm down the army, stop Xie Sui, keep our strength, and wait for reinforcements.

He wondered whether he would be safe or not, he was so anxious that he couldn't breathe.

Huan Xuan quickly asked the envoy to invite Feng Shang, but he didn't expect that the Second Young Master Feng would come by himself after hearing the news.

Feng Shang said: "I have sent people to Jiankang to inquire about the news, Mr. Sui is an auspicious person, you have to be steady."

Huanxuan said: "Since Liu Laozhi was able to come to Nanjun, it must have caused misunderstandings in the court. It seems that Sima Yuanxian was one step ahead of me and joined forces with the Liu family to come to attack. I just don't know how the two of them came to an agreement."

Feng Shangdao: "It should be Xuzhou. Liu Laozhi ruled the five places in Xuzhou, but he didn't completely divide this place into his sphere of influence, and there is still a lack of a seal from the imperial court for the governor of Xuzhou. Xuzhou belonged to him as bait to lure Mrs. Liu, fearing that this dog thief would agree with him wagging his tail."

Huanxuan said: "It must not be the case. During the trip to Nanjun, Liu Laozhi made it clear that he intends to take a step back and cooperate first. Even if the imperial court granted him the post of governor of Xuzhou, it would be empty air. The territory is in my hands." .”

Feng Shang said: "Is there any other reason?"

Huan Xuan said: "Quickly inquire, there must be something inside."

Huan Xuanming thought hard, but still couldn't figure it out, and suddenly remembered that since Nanjun was in a tight spot, Feng Shan was also in danger, so he asked, "Is your elder brother safe?"

Feng Shangdao: "He happened to catch up with this eventful season, and he went to Jiankang to work, so he can only ask for good fortune. If the court intends to embarrass him, I am afraid that the eldest brother will be the first to suffer."

Huan Xuan said, "I'm the one who made your eldest brother suffer."

Feng Shangdao: "My family was originally a retainer of the Huan family. The scenery yesterday was also because of the Huan family, and the destruction of the family tomorrow is naturally for the Huan family. It should be so."

Huan Xuan patted Feng Shang on the shoulder, he couldn't speak some words, but Feng Shang, who grew up with him, understood his heart and sympathized with his difficulties, allowing him to comfort him.

Feng Shang said: "I don't know how the lady is doing now?"

Huan Xuan said: "Ms. Miaoyin? By the way, can I ask Mrs. Miaoyin to help elder brother?"

Feng Shangdao: "She came to Nanjun this time because she couldn't help herself. I'm afraid it was because Sima Daozi already suspected that she was attached to you and me, so he sent her here to inquire. The name is to inquire about Nanjun, but in fact it is to inquire about the real intention of the lady."

Huan Xuan said: "In this case, why not take advantage of this troubled time and take the elder brother and the wife out of Jiankang?"

Feng Shang said: "Alright, I will go there in person."

Huanxuan said: "I will divide the Iron Armored Army into half of you. You should pack lightly and go back quickly."

Feng Shang said: "It has to be like this."

The author has something to say: This is the last part of the novel. I haven’t figured out how to describe the scene of the great battle, so I can only try my best. Xiao Lao tried his best to describe this story completely. I hope you don’t dislike it.
