Gushu, after sending Feng Gai to lead an army to attack Yongzhou, Huanxuan felt that he had great control over the world, and he could only wait for the time to mature to replace Jin.
Five miles east of Gushu City lies Mount Chu, which is a secluded mountain with deep forests and lush trees. At that time, Huan Wen loved the beautiful scenery of the mountains and often summoned celebrities and staff to climb mountains with singers and drink and have fun.
Gushu produces white ramie, and women weave white muslin cloth, praising the fruits of their labor with simple dance movements. This dance was popular in the Three Kingdoms of Wu, and became popular among the people and in the palace.
Huan Wen liked to see the white band dance, so Huan Xuan naturally wanted to uphold his father's ambition. Every time he went to the mountain to have fun, the singers would sing the white band poems and dance the white band dance.
The dancers wear long-sleeved dance clothes made of white silk, which are as elegant as light gauze, whirling, undulating, graceful and graceful.
As Huan Xuan drank the wine, he remembered the banquet that frightened him more than ten years ago. Sima Daozi scolded him in front of everyone, "Huan Wen came late and wanted to be a thief." He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and sweated. This is what I hate in my life.
Now Sima's life is in his own hands. At that time, he wanted to kill Sima Daozi but was blocked by the court officials and only exiled him to Ancheng County. Now that times have changed, how can I leave this scourge alive in this world?
After the banquet, Huan Xuan sent a secret letter to Du Zhulin, the censor who was guarding Sima Daozi. After receiving the secret letter, Du Zhulin killed Sima Daozi with poison and wine. Huan Xuan avenged his revenge.
…………
The Yongzhou army rested in Fo County for a day. Yang Anxuan asked Yang Anyuan and Yin Ji to continue cleaning the battlefield, gathering the remaining soldiers, ships and baggage. He and Meng Longfu took the warship back to Xiangyang first.
Going up the Han River, the speed of the boat was not very fast. It was rare for Yang Anxuan to relax and stand on the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river.
Liu Zhong beside him said with some emotion: "It's a pity that we couldn't keep the two tower ships, otherwise the strength of Yongzhou Navy would be greatly increased."
Yang Anxuan thought of the watertight compartments and vehicle and ship technology that he had been thinking about the day before yesterday. Liu Zhong had been serving as a naval engineer since he patrolled Jiangying at Jingkou. He had worked hard to study warships. After hearing Yang Anxuan's two improved ship technologies, he exclaimed: "These two techniques of An Xuan can greatly improve the warships. In time, the Yongzhou Navy will be invincible in the world."
"Brother Liu, I'll leave it to you to improve the ship. Yu Yi wants to see the results as soon as possible." Yang Anxuan said with a smile.
After arriving in Xiangyang, Yang Anxuan hurriedly handled the government affairs, and the next day he and Meng Longfu led the Qingqi across the Han River and headed straight for Shandu.
Having arrived in Xiangyang first, Kong Xian, who was staying in the post house, learned the news too late. Yang Anxuan had already left Xiangyang City.
In Shanyang, Zhang Dan, who was appointed as General Ningyuan, reported the military situation to Yang Anxuan, "After the Qin army captured Shunyang City, Governor Yang of Nanyang garrisoned Champion City. There was a battle with the Qin Army in early November. Governor Yang was defeated and returned to Champion City. "
Yang Anxuan frowned. He told his third uncle Yang Siping to just stay in the city and not to fight easily, but his third uncle disobeyed his order.
When Yang Fosong rebelled, his father, who was the governor of Henan, led an army to intercept, but was defeated by Yao Chong in front of Tongguan. His third uncle was also in the army, so it is probably because of the old grudge.
"After the victory of the Qin army, Yang Fosong led his army south to attack Fuxian County. The prefect of Lu could not hold out. The Qin army attacked for five days and could not break the city." Zhang Dan said: "After receiving the document from the prefect of Lu asking for help, Yu led his army to garrison. Yin County, prepare to contain the Qin army."
Yang Anxuan nodded and said, "General Zhang made a decision at the right time and did a good job."
Zhang Dan showed a smile. He was inconspicuous among the generals in Beifu. He was only the sixth-rank Jiangdu Commander. After defecting to Yongzhou, Yang Anxuan promoted him to the fifth-rank Ningyuan General. Zhang Dan understood that Yang Anxuan's move was to attract the generals of Beifu to join him.
When the Qin army came north, this was Zhang Dan's first battle to defect to Yongyang. Of course, Zhang Dan didn't want to leave a bad impression in Yang Anxuan's heart. After leading two thousand troops to garrison Shanyang, he sent scouts to inquire about the intelligence of Fuxian County, and received Lu Zongzhi's message. After writing the petition for help, I did not dare to neglect and immediately left for Yin County.
Yang Fosong learned that Yongzhou reinforcements had arrived, and received news that Xin Gongjing's army had arrived in Li County. Fearing that his retreat would be cut off, he led his army back to Shunyang City.
Zhang Dan learned that the land and water armies of Feng Gai and Huangfu Fu were defeated by Yang Anxuan, and he was deeply grateful for his decision to defect to Yongzhou. It seemed that the rumors were true, and Governor Yang was indeed another general after Xie Xianwu.
Yang Anxuan asked Zhang
Dan led two thousand infantry to accompany him on the expedition to Shunyang. At the same time, he notified Yang Siping in Champion City to come and join him, and sent a message to Xin Gongjing in Li County to prepare to intercept the Qin army's retreat.
The army is approaching thirty miles away from Shunyang City. Yang Fosong has received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry. Yongzhou has about 5,000 soldiers and horses and 2,000 light cavalry. The army is led by Yang Anxuan, the governor of Yongzhou.
Yang Fosong and Yang Anxuan fought against each other at the gates of Luoyang City, and learned about the strong weapons and weapons of Yang Anxuan's army. Yang Anxuan rescued Luoyang twice and defeated the Qin army, which made Yang Fosong attach great importance to this young general. He believed that Yang Anxuan's courage was not inferior to that of his father Yang Quanqi, but his strategy was still above him.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Fosong ordered the people from Shunyang and Nanxiang to be taken captive to Danshui. If the war went bad, let the Danshui guard take the people captive first and return to Shangluo. At least something would be gained.
On December 13, Yang Anxuan led his army to Shunyang City, with a total of 6,000 troops. Two thousand cavalry were brought from Xiangyang, including 400 heavy cavalry; Zhang Dan's infantry was 2,000; Lu Zong sent his son Lu Gui to accompany him with 1,000 soldiers and horses from Nanxiang County; Yang Siping led 1,000 troops from Champion City Convergence.
Yang Fosong watched the Jin army camp at the top of the city, and did not intend to charge for a while. He only gave 5,000 qingqi to the King Yao Xing for this expedition. He stationed Nanxiang and Danshui with 1,000 men each. There were only 3,000 qingqi in Shunyang City.
He knew that Yang Anxuan had captured a lot of armor and riding equipment when he defeated Qi King Yao Chong in Luoyang. If Yang Anxuan used heavy cavalry as the front in a head-on confrontation, he would have no choice but to retreat.
Five miles south of Shunyang City is the Yongzhou Army Camp.
In the main tent, Yang Anxuan gathered the generals and told everyone the information that Ding Quan sent people to send the Qin army to take the people captive to Danshui.
After the Battle of Feishui, the court recovered a lot of lost territory, but Hu Qi still entered the country from time to time to rob property and take away people. The court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had no intention or ability to fight, and powerful men recruited the people one after another.
Build a dock to protect yourself.
Yang Siping said: "It seems that Yang Fosong intends to retreat and let Governor Xin lead his military assets to Danshui to cut off his retreat."
Yang Anxuan sighed: "Yang Fosong is a brave general, and it is not easy to defeat him. Moreover, the Qin army has strong soldiers and horses. Once the Qin army invades in large numbers, Yongzhou may not be able to resist the enemy. The New Year is about to come, and the soldiers want to return home, so they foolishly want to force Yang Fosong away. .”
Yang Siping said angrily: "An Xuan, have you forgotten that your father was demoted to Xinye because of him? How can you not take revenge for this?"
Yang Anxuan lowered his face and said, "In the military tent, we only respect the general's orders and do not care about personal affairs."
Seeing Yang Anxuan's gloomy face, Yang Siping's heart suddenly trembled, and he didn't dare to say any more and stepped aside.
"Of course, a review by the school is unavoidable, otherwise how could Yang Fosong retreat despite the difficulties. We will go to battle tomorrow at Chenshi."
All the generals agreed in unison.
At Chen time, trumpets were flying to the sky, and the Yongzhou military camp dispatched three thousand troops, one thousand light cavalry, and two thousand infantry to set up a wild goose formation outside the city, waiting for Yang Fosong in the city to go to battle.
Yang Fosong led two thousand Qingqi out of the city. Enemies met each other without saying a word. The Qingqi attacked each other. Although Yang Fosong had many men and horses, his weapons were not as good as them. He left more than a hundred corpses and returned to the city.
Yang Anxuan sent an envoy to send a letter to Yang Fosong, claiming that Zhengdan was approaching and the soldiers wanted to return. He was willing to let Yang Fosong return to Shangluo, but the people of Danshui had to stay.
At this time, Yang Fosong opened the north gate and led his army to leave Shunyang City and go to Danshui City. Of course, Yang Fosong would not really leave the people's property and return empty-handed as Yang Anxuan said. When Yang Anxuan led his army to Danshui City, Yang Fosong kidnapped more than 4,000 people and returned to Shangluo with a large amount of property.
Yang Anxuan led his army in pursuit and met Yang Fosong's ambush army in Shangnan. A fierce battle resulted in hundreds of casualties.
The secret guard sent intelligence. Qin Qi King Yao Chong led 10,000 light cavalry and rushed to meet Yang Fosong. Yang Anxuan ordered to return to Danshui County.
After the Qin army abducted the people and returned to Shangluo, Yang Fosong and Yao Chong, who was accompanying him, went to Chang'an to meet Yao Xing.
Yao Xing asked about the battle situation and said disapprovingly: "Yang Anxuan has too much time to take care of himself. I don't expect him to have the courage to invade the territory and oppose me. When the Wei thieves are defeated, I will send you to lead the elite troops to seize Yongzhou and fulfill your lifelong wish."
As Yao Xing expected, Yang Anxuan did not dare to take the opportunity to seize Shangluo. Compared with Qin and Wei, Yongzhou's strength was not worth mentioning. He could only take advantage of the gap between Qin and Wei to seize the time to develop and grow.
In just three years, Yang Anxuan looked confidently in the direction of Chang'an, and he no longer had to look like
Now we are still walking on thin ice, be cautious, and then we will have a duel with the Qin army.
Xin Gongjing and Yang Siping were asked to lead their armies to return respectively, and Zhang Dan was asked to lead an army of 2,000 to guard Danshui City. Meng Longfu was sent to lead 1,500 light cavalry to Suiyang to support Wang Zhenwei. Yang Anxuan himself returned to Xiangyang a year ago. city.
Four armies attacked Xiangyang, and three armies were defeated. The people of Yongzhou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this Governor Yang, who is dedicated to the people, is fine, we people will have to rely on him to live a good life for a few more years.
The imperial court ordered Feng Gai to lead an army to attack Yongzhou. Most of the noble families did not think highly of Yang Anxuan and secretly made preparations to welcome the imperial army. Some people even prepared to join forces inside and outside to offer Xiangyang meritorious services.
When they learned that Feng Gai and Huangfu were defeated, these aristocratic families were dumbfounded. They quickly burned the letters of illicit liaison with the court and prepared money and food to flatter Governor Yang.
After Governor Yang returned to Xiangyang, he immediately led his army to fight the Qin army. Everyone wanted to give gifts but no chance was found. But this time everyone had confidence in Yang Anxuan. Sure enough, within half a month, they learned that the Qin army had retreated to Luo, and Governor Yang had regained the lost ground.
The aristocratic family members were better informed than ordinary people, and they knew that Huanxuan in the capital wanted to usurp the throne, and that troubled times were coming. Although they were not very loyal to the court, they were somewhat emotionally biased towards the Sima family. After all, these families had been favored by the emperor for a long time.
Yang Cishi's town in Yongzhou should be able to ensure peace for one side. What is more important than peace in troubled times? Thinking of Yongjia running south and the barbarians treating Han people like pigs and dogs, these aristocratic families clearly understood how they should choose.
On December 26, Yang Anxuan returned to Xiangyang City after a long journey, and learned that his elder brother Yang Anshen had brought his mother and sister Yang Qiu to Xiangyang City for a New Year reunion.
Yang Anshen was appointed as the Registrar of Yiyang County. Compared with Yang Siping, Yang Zijing, Yang Anyuan and others, he held a civilian position and his official rank was not as good as that of Yang Siping.
Yang Anshen knew that he had a rift with his third brother because of the He family matter. Although the relationship had eased, it was not easy to close the gap.
Now that the third brother is sitting in a state, even the army of the imperial court cannot touch him. He has a bright future in the future. He is his biological eldest brother, and the wealth will not flow to others. There are advantages in that the third brother should think of himself first.
As Yang Anxuan's status changed, He became more and more afraid of Yang Anxuan and kept her little thoughts deep in his heart. After learning that the Yongzhou army had defeated the imperial army, He persuaded her husband to take Yuan and Qiu'er to Xiangyang for the New Year, and Yang Anshen readily agreed.
What made Mr. He dissatisfied was that Mrs. Lu also went with her daughter. Yang An knew that his third brother was dissatisfied with Mr. He and was full of sympathy for his sister-in-law and niece, so his attitude towards Mrs. Lu and her daughter changed. Mrs. Lu was pregnant again, and Yang Lin There is also a smile on the face.
As a governor, Yang Anxuan felt "busy" in one word. He goes to the Yamen at Mao o'clock every day and has to be busy until he returns to his house at You. There are a lot of people outside the lobby holding documents waiting for his approval.
Yang Qiu saw the tired-looking third brother and complained heartbrokenly: "Third brother, don't you always say you know people well and do their jobs well? Why do you have to do everything yourself?"
Yang Anxuan smiled bitterly and said: "The third brother is the governor, there are some things that cannot be left to others. Qiu'er, when the first month is free, I will take you shopping."
A hint of joy flashed in Yang Qiu's eyes, remembering the past when her third brother took her to play. The jigsaw puzzle and the toys that third brother gave her were all kept in her box, and she would occasionally take them out to play with. The last time Lin'er saw the jigsaw puzzle, she was not willing to give it to her. She just asked a carpenter to make another set for her.
Looking at the third brother who had a beard on his lips, Yang Qiu felt sad and whispered: "Thank you, third brother. Qiu'er has grown up and can go shopping on her own."
Yang Anxuan looked at the slim Yang Qiu and sighed: "Yes, Qiu'er has grown up and no longer has to follow the third brother. It's time to find a husband for you."
"Third brother," Yang Qiujiao said in disbelief, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.
