However, Huan Wen originally wanted to have a childhood friendship, and also used Yin Hao, an old acquaintance, to use the power of the Yin family to contain the Wang family, which was firmly opposed to his usurpation of power at the time. The Xie family and other powerful families considered it, and initially agreed to re-employ him.
Yin Hao was a servant of the court. For this reason, the two of them kept in touch with each other through letters and even discussed the personnel arrangements of the court.
However, despite being overjoyed, Yin Hao made another stupid mistake. He actually made a mistake in replying to the most important letter, which was also a reply to Huan Wen's reply on how to arrange official positions in the DPRK. Perhaps it was because this letter was too important.
So after putting the envelope in, Yin Hao opened it and looked at it again and again, more than ten times, and then put it back with satisfaction. However, he made a mistake and put a blank piece of paper into the envelope and sent it to Huan Wen.
.
Huan Wen originally wanted to see the list of official positions arranged by Yin Hao, so that he could see whether Yin Hao truly surrendered to him, but when he saw a blank piece of paper, he became furious, thinking that Yin Hao was humiliating him.
He broke off the relationship with Bai Xin. From then on, Huan Wen never paid attention to Yin Hao again.
As a leader in the literary world, Yin Hao experienced ups and downs in his life. He suffered from a strange illness at home. From time to time, he would mutter words in his mouth, pick up a pen and draw in the air, but he did not know what he was writing. Until a long time later,
Only then did the nephew of the family realize that what he wrote was the words "What a strange thing". He probably never understood why the written letter turned out to be a blank piece of paper.
Two years later, Yin Hao became ill due to his grudges and finally died of anger. However, Huan Wen did not become emperor, but retained the Huan family's hereditary vassal town in Jingzhou. It is no wonder that Yin Zhongkan was aggrieved. After all, the grievances between his elders were still there.
Now I am also different from Huan Xuan.
Huan Xuan sighed: "Let's not talk about the elder affairs of our two parents. That white letter back then may have been a misunderstanding. When my father was dying and talking about his regrets in his life, he specifically mentioned this matter.
He said that he was afraid that the letter had been dropped in the hands of some people who wanted to drive a wedge between our two families, which led to a misunderstanding between the two adults. But when he realized this later, his uncle had already passed away and there was nothing he could do.
Make up for this regret."
Yin Zhongkan said coldly: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything. At least your Huan family still has Jingzhou, and we, the children of the Yin family, except for a few empty positions, what have we got? If this time
If you weren’t facing a lot of pressure in Jingzhou and had to ask for help from everywhere, why would you come to me, Yin Zhongkan?”
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Brother Yin really hit the mark, yes, to put it bluntly, I didn't come to you before, it is indeed because your Yin family does not hold an important position now, but isn't this the tradition of your family?
The Yin family of Chen County has always been a leader in the literary world. Even if he does not hold an official position, he still has a huge influence among the noble families. He can be said to be the prime minister in black and the ruler of the mountains. This is not to flatter Brother Yin."
A trace of satisfaction flashed across Yin Zhongkan's face, and he nodded: "Brother Yu, you can do your part in this matter. This is also the tradition of our Yin family. However, even if we have some false reputation, we have no power now. Do you want to mobilize troops?
Support, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
Huan Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "No, Brother Yin, you have misunderstood me. This time I came to you, not to ask you to help me mobilize my troops. The Qin army is going south. It seems that the real breakthrough direction is not in Jingzhou.
, but Huaiyang.”
A trace of suspicion flashed in Yin Zhongkan's eyes: "What? Didn't the Qin army attack Xiangyang with a large army? How could they stop here? Jingzhou is what they want to capture. As for Jianghuai, it is just a partial force."
Huan Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Brother Yin, you are not on the front line. This military is not your strength. Soldiers are also deceitful. The Qin State is aggressively attacking Jingxiang. If it really intends to break through from the Jingzhou area, it will definitely be in
After conquering Xiangyang, they sent a large number of reinforcements to continue the attack."
"But now they have stopped attacking and are stationed on the front line of Xiangyang to confront my uncle's 100,000-strong army. On the contrary, in Huaibei, the offensive is very fierce. They even transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Jingzhou battlefield as reinforcements. Various signs indicate that
Qin Lu knew that our defense in the Jingzhou area was tight and it would be difficult to break through, so he chose the Huaiyang area as a breakthrough point."
Yin Zhongkan murmured: "So that's it. So you don't need to ask for help now?"
Huan Xuan nodded: "I have seen the Beifu soldiers trained by the Xie family, and they are very good at fighting. Now Qin Lu seems to be taking advantage of Huaibei, but in my opinion, I am afraid that he has fallen into the trap of the Xie family.
In an in-depth plan, once the main force of the Qin army drives in and reaches the Huainan area where the water network is crisscrossed, the Beifu army will probably be defeated. If the main force of the Qin army can be defeated in one battle, the crisis of the Jin Dynasty can be safely overcome.
pass."
Yin Zhongkan's brows widened. He didn't know much about military affairs, but he was actually quite worried about these things these days. He nodded: "If this is the case, it is a blessing for the country and a blessing for our aristocratic families. After all,
Only when we have a country can our generations be prosperous and wealthy."
When he said this, a light flashed in his eyes: "So, Brother Huan came to me this time because of the Xie family's Wuyi Association?"
Huan Xuan shook his head: "I don't doubt that the Xie family can defeat the Qin army, but in this way, the power of the Xie family will be further strengthened. They have already supported low-level scholars like Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu.
It will be even more serious if they are allowed to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield in place of our noble families."
Speaking of this, Huan Xuan sighed: "Didn't my late father just follow this path? Through the Northern Expedition, he promoted a large number of loyal subordinates who started in the army, and at the same time wanted to change the past and establish himself as king.
Really? It seems that the Xie family also intends to take this path. When the time comes, it will be your blessing!"
Huan Xuan raised his head and stared at the silent Yin Zhongkan: "I am not only doing this for our Huan family, but also for you, brother. You know, our Huan family still has Jingzhou's territory, but Yin
As for you, brother, I'm afraid that once the Xie family gains power, you may not be able to keep your current official position."
Yin Zhongkan suddenly raised his hand and stopped Huan Xuan from continuing: "That's enough, don't say any more. Huan Xuan, I know what you mean very well, but now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we cannot restrain each other and affect the battle on the front line.
No matter what happens, the Qin prisoners are our great enemy now, and we will discuss other matters after the battle is over."
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "It's natural. I'm here this time not to ask Brother Yin to do anything right now. However, I hope that Brother Yin can use your status as a scholar to spend more time with the noble families in Jiankang City.
Let's move around and let more people know what I just said. At least, we can't let the Xie family kick us away after the victory!"
Yin Zhongkan's single eye flashed coldly: "Then I did this and offended the Xie family. What good does it do to my Yin family?"
Huan Xuan stretched out his hand: "Brother, I dare not forget this great kindness. You and I can be allies forever and never betray each other! As long as our Huan family gets through this, the Nanman Colonel of Jingzhou (the highest military attache in Jingzhou,
The post of governor (second only to the governor) must belong to me!"
Yin Zhongkan gritted his teeth, reached out and gave a high-five: "It's a deal!"
