Jingzhou, Zhijiang.
In the governor's house, Huan Qian was wearing a general's robe and armor, looking majestic. He was sitting behind the case. A young principal dressed as a Qiang man saluted him and said: "Huan Gong, my general Gou asked me to bring you a message."
, he is now under the order of Master Lu, and the main force is going to attack Yuzhou with the Tianshi Dao army, directly taking Jiankang. He can no longer serve you for the time being. However, he left his younger brother Gou Sen there in Baling.
, there are 7,000 cavalry and newly attached martyrs acting together with them to continue to sweep away the remnants of the Jin army, which is also a support for you."
Huan Qian looked angry and said in a deep voice: "Asshole, has your General Gou forgotten who his superior is? He went to join Lu Xun just to attack Jiangling together, but instead of attacking Jiangling, he divided his troops to rob him.
In Xiangzhou, the main force has followed Lu Xun. Does he still have me as Duke Huan in his eyes? Is there still the Emperor of Qin?!"
The primary school principal said with a mournful face: "Gong Huan, this is a matter decided by the adults in my family. I'm just here to convey a message. Don't be angry. If you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back to life right now."
Huan Qian said bitterly: "Guangguangguang, you Qiang people are all unjust and unjust. Go back and tell your generals, don't think that there is any benefit to following Lu Xun. There are many hard bones in front of you. If within ten days
If he doesn’t come back and capture Jiangling, I won’t leave him a penny!”
As if he had received an amnesty, the principal turned around and ran out quickly, fearing that if he stayed for a second longer, Huan Qian might kill him in anger.
Standing next to Huan Qian is his younger brother Huan Shisui. This person is also one of Huan Chu's remnants who has been lurking in various places in Jingzhou for several years, and occasionally raises troops to cause rebellion. This time, with Huan Qian's return, he can finally return from the army.
He came out of the poor mountains and bad soil, and Huan Qian came forward to contact the old troops in various places. It can be said that most of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Zhijiang City were brought by this Huan Shisui. Looking at the Qiang
Seeing the military envoy running back, he shook his head gently: "It seems that Gou Lin has no hope."
Huan Qian curled his lips in disdain: "After all, he helped us eliminate part of the Jingzhou troops, especially the pursuers in Jiangling City. With this victory, many of the soldiers who have defected to us these days have been eliminated."
There are also a lot more people in various places in Jingzhou. Now I have more than 30,000 people here. Even if you exclude the people who went out to collect food and build troops, there are still more than 10,000 people. In just one or two months, we will be there.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. At that time, we will first force Lu Zongzhi to surrender, and then recruit Qiao Daofu to attack Jiangling together. Let me see what Liu Daogui can do to stop him!"
Huan Shisui frowned slightly: "Second brother (Huan Qian ranks second among Huan Chong's disciples, and Huan Shisui is the son of Huan Chong's younger brother Huan Huo, and the two are cousins), although I have been here these days
There are many people who have defected to us. For example, Wang Tianen, the leader of Zhengyang, also raised an uprising in the city and brought 3,000 people to defect to us. However, the news from Jiangling seems to have been cut off. This is not good news."
Huan Qian said bitterly: "This is not because Gou Lin, a bastard, was raping and plundering everywhere around Jiangling. That time Jiangling sent troops to pursue him, and he killed more than 3,000 people, all of whom were local soldiers in Jiangling. He also piled corpses
To show off for the capital, grandma, this will make the people of Jiangling hate Gou Lin to death, and they also hate me, after all, I brought Gou Lin here."
Huan Shisui sighed: "Originally, we thought that these Qiang cavalry were just here to make up for the numbers. They all looked disheveled and incompetent, but we didn't expect that they could actually set up an ambush and defeat the Jin army. The local state and county soldiers in Jiangling City
Horses, many of them were elites of Da Chu in the past, and their fighting ability is not weak. They also lost so many in one battle. It seems that we underestimated these barbarians. They are really good at fighting, and we didn’t know that Lu Xun gave them the advice.
I drank so much ecstasy soup and let them just follow me."
Huan Qian gritted his teeth: "Forget it, it's okay to leave. After all, this Jingzhou is the place of our Huan family. Allowing these Qiang captives to harm the people here for the sake of fighting will only ruin the reputation accumulated by generations of fathers and ancestors. Besides,
Whether it's with Hou Qin or with the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao, it's just a temporary cooperation. It's hard to say whether we are friends or enemies in the future. Even those guys from Qiao Shu imprisoned me for several years and almost died.
?In the final analysis, this battle in Jingzhou still depends on ourselves, others cannot count on us."
Huan Shisui nodded: "Yes, but Liu Daogui is well versed in the art of war and is a famous general in Beifu. With our current strength, it is a bit difficult to defeat him. I think we should let Qiao Daofu's Shu army and Gou first
That Gou Sen who Lin left in Baling went to attack Jiangling, consume Liu Daogui, and also explore the reality of the city."
Huan Qian sneered and pointed at a box behind him: "Shi Sui, what do you think is in this box?"
Huan Shisui curled up his lips and looked at the box with three large locks. This was something that Huan Qian had been inseparable from for the past few days and even used it as a pillow when sleeping. It was obviously very important. He said: "
Could it be that these are some treasures left behind by the former emperor (Huan Xuan) or are they money and weapons for recruiting troops?"
Huan Qian laughed and waved his hand: "It's much more valuable than this. Brother, let me tell you, these are the letters of allegiance written by the noble families in Jiangling City to inform me and welcome me back to the throne."
Huan Shisui opened his eyes wide: "What, these are actually the letters they reported? Oh, this is a box full, but most of the families in the city have turned to us."
Huan Qian sneered: "Isn't it? This Jingzhou is still our Jingzhou after all. Even if we kill some of their family members, they will be angry for a few days at most to show their anger. As long as we blame Gou Lin for these things.
, a few more words of comfort, and they will serve us again. If they refuse, hey, we can simply give these letters to Liu Daogui, and let Jiangling City become chaotic first, and the Beijing gangsters and city people will come.
We are fighting against each other. If we want to take Jiangling, it will be easy. What else can we do with Qiao Shu and Qiangzi? To recruit them, it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away."
Huan Shisui clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Okay, my second brother is still better. Let's use this trick. As soon as the troops who have dispersed to collect food come back, we will march towards Jiangling..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a rush of footsteps, and a sweaty and distraught messenger rushed outside. He threw himself on the ground in front of the two of them and cried: "My lord, something bad has happened.
Jingkou guys, Jingkou guys are calling, the south gate has been captured, you guys, run away!"
