Jiangling West, Fifty Miles, Yangtze River, Meihuizhou.
This is a sandbar with a radius of about three or four miles and is located in the center of the Yangtze River. It is formed by the accumulation of sedimentary sand in the Yangtze River. Over time, it has formed such a large river center island, just like the Sangluo Island in Fankou, near Jiankang
Xinzhou, etc., the Taotao River is divided into two by this sandbar here, becoming the South Water and the North Water, rushing eastward.
On the north water, a medium-sized ship came upstream. The basic height of the front and rear of the ship was quite different from that of ordinary ships. The front end of this ship was obviously lower, as if a ballast stone had been moved to the front, causing this
The reason for the situation is that there is a fat man like a hill sitting on the front deck. He is wearing a dragon robe and looks like a trembling mountain of meat. Isn't it Huan Xuan?
The Emperor of Chu, who was so arrogant a while ago, has now lost all his majesty. His hair is disheveled, with only an jade hairpin on his head, barely maintaining a bun that is about to completely fall apart, so as not to let him down.
His hair was completely disheveled. His eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his face was covered with dust from riding a horse all the way. It was not clear whether it was sweat or tears that washed over it, leaving behind traces that looked like thousands of ravines.
The Loess Plateau is ridiculous and funny.
Huan Sheng, who was less than five years old, was wearing gorgeous silk clothes and stood timidly behind Huan Xuan. This usually pampered prince of Chu State didn't know what was going on at this moment. He only knew that he was suddenly removed from the palace.
He was picked up from the city, and then he was hurriedly picked up by his father on the horse amidst the shouts of death. He ran all the way to the ferry, then got on the boat and went down the river. This was the first time for this child to do this.
He really felt that the light and shadow of the sword were around him, and most of his screams and tears had been used up on the way. Now, he was tired and hungry, but seeing his father's appearance, he didn't dare to speak again.
A word.
Yu Yizhi came up from behind and saluted Huan Xuan: "Your Majesty, we should be safe now. There are no rebels chasing us behind. However, we rushed too hastily and lost the ship with King Xin'an (Huan Qian).
No contact has been made. Now I don’t know if they are safe.”
Huan Xuan murmured: "What about Jingzu, where are they?"
Yu Yizhi shook his head: "Shizhong Bian lost contact with us when he was in Jiangling City. He may have been trapped in the city. When we boarded the boat from Jiangfengdu, he was not in either boat."
Sitting on one side was a fat, dark, middle-aged man in his forties, who was Huan Xuan's cousin, Huan Shikang, the governor of Jingzhou in Chu State. He said coldly: "I'm afraid that our Shizhong Bian will attack your majesty this time.
The mastermind! The assassin was the driver he brought with him!"
Huan Xuan's expression changed and he scolded: "Shi Kang, be careful! Jingzu has always been loyal to me and will never betray me!"
Huan Shikang sneered: "Yin Zhongwen acted more loyal than him before? What happened? Seeing His Majesty's defeat, he kidnapped Wang Shen'ai and defected to the Eight Bandits in Beijing. I'm afraid Bian Fanzhi also had the same idea.
, but his heart is darker. Not only does he want to hold Sima Dezong's brother, but also His Majesty's life. Your Majesty, I have long said that only our Huan family has blood thicker than water and is the real
Our own people, and others, may abandon us. Because we, the Huan clan, have no way out!"
Having said this, he looked at Yu Yizhi, who looked ugly and a little panicked, and said with a smile: "Of course, those like General Yu who are still following us are the real loyalties. Only when disaster strikes can we see the heart of the people. Your Majesty,
This time you should really understand who is the person you really trust."
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "That's all, let's not talk about it. You are right. Only our Huan family is trustworthy now. I just don't know if Zhen'er will recognize me as his uncle at this time."
Huan Shikang said quickly: "Your Majesty, Ah Zhen is the most heroic and capable general among the younger generation of our Huan family. You have not been in Jingzhou these years, but I have been getting along with him all the time. I know very well what he is thinking. He wishes he could serve your Majesty."
Ah, I have always said that if Your Majesty uses him, he will definitely be effective. This time the building will collapse. If you can fully trust him and let him lead the army in battle, then there is hope of saving the situation. We can temporarily avoid the Eight Thieves in Beijing.
With his sharp edge, he turned to the west to capture Bashu, first to lay a foundation, and then to..."
Huan Xuan suddenly gained energy and laughed: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for Bashu. Where is the repair?"
A promise came from the stern of the ship, and a heroic general in his twenties came in armor. It was Mao Xiuzhi who made a military salute to Huan Xuan: "Your Majesty, what is your order?"
Huan Xuan said to Mao Xiuzhi with satisfaction: "Yes, Lieutenant Mao, you are still following me at this time. I can see the sincerity of the Mao family from you. The conditions agreed between me and the Mao family are still valid."
.It’s just that maybe I need to go to Xichuan this time and live on your Mao family’s territory for a while.”
Mao Xiuzhi smiled calmly: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, you can go wherever you want. Even if you suffer a temporary setback in Jingzhou, I, the Mao family, believe that sooner or later they will make a comeback. The Beifu Army cannot stay in Jingzhou forever. As long as they leave,
That Jingzhou still belongs to Your Majesty. If you don’t support Your Majesty at this time, Liu Yi and others will definitely continue to advance westward and attack our Western Shu. Then our Mao family, without Jingzhou as the screen vassal, will not survive for long. It’s so cold.
Our Mao family still understands the truth."
A smile appeared on Huan Xuan's face: "Then, Colonel Mao, please make another trip and explain this truth to your adults. If possible, it is best to send 30,000 troops from Shu to guard Baidi City, and I
I will bring 10,000 elite troops from Huan Zhen's command to join you at Baidi. Baidi is the gateway to Sichuan and the terrain is dangerous. As long as we hold on, the Beifu army will be unable to do anything, and even Jingzhou will no longer be able to stay."
Mao Xiuzhi said sternly: "No, the last general's great-uncle, Mao Gong, died in the post of governor of Ningzhou. During the last peace negotiation, your majesty allowed his coffin to return to Jiankang via Jiangling. It is expected that it will be here now."
We are almost there, I will set off now. Maybe I am lucky enough to meet the spirit guarding fleet, which will be the perfect convoy to escort Your Majesty to Huan Zhen's army."
Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead and come back soon."
Mao Xiuzhi made a military salute to Huan Xuan: "I will be back soon." He turned around and jumped into a small boat hanging on the side of the ship. He waved his hand, took two or three guards with him, raised the sail and rowed.
, flew away, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
