Chapter 596 Jincheng Yanxing
It is said that Chen Long followed the mark left by Hao Pu and was attacked while crossing the Weihe River cable bridge. Although there was no danger, Hao Pu was lost. Relying on his strong Qinggong skills, Chen Long flew across the Weihe River's natural chasm and successfully captured a Huangzhou Qiang assassin.
The so-called Huangzhou Qiang Ci is the abbreviation of the most elite special forces under Han Sui. Chen Long used his methods, and the Qiang assassin finally surrendered, revealing that the person behind Yan Xing's whereabouts was probably the secret of Zhang Ji and his son. Chen Long knew that Zhang Ji was very ambitious, and Yan Xing might have been betrayed by him. Chen Long simply let this person go and let him become an undercover agent in Qiang Thorn. Of course, even if this person is not loyal, there is no loss to Chen Long, even if it is to prepare for the unification of Xiliang in the future.
It was not known whether the person who fell into the water was Yan Xing or Hao Pu, but there was no clue on the dark river, so Chen Long had no choice but to lead Xiaoyun Xiaoyu, who had climbed ashore, back to the greenhouse for the time being. Unexpectedly, he saw Hao Pu, who had just changed out of wet clothes, sitting next to the small tent that had just been built. In the tent, lying on a camp bed, was a tiger general, with many white cloths wrapped around his muscular upper body. Covered in red bloodstains, it's scary to look at.
Chen Long felt happy and surprised in his heart. He was happy that Hao Pu came back safe and sound, but he was surprised that the person lying on the hospital bed was probably Yan Xing and Yan Yanming, who looked seriously injured. With a glance at Hao Pu, Hao Pu quickly reported how he rescued Yan Xing.
It turned out that Yan Xing disguised himself tonight and set out from the courtyard where he lived. He was immediately spotted by the Qinglong special forces team members who were following him. Hao Pu knew that Yan Xing was about to take action, so he decided to follow him personally and ordered someone to notify his lord for reinforcements. Unexpectedly, Yan Xing walked all the way to the rope bridge and was suddenly attacked by a strong bow from the other side. Yan Xing was caught off guard and had no protection. Finally, he was hit by several arrows and fell into the river with a thud. How fast is the flow of the Weihe River? The unconscious Yan Xing immediately flowed downstream with the flowing water.
Hao Pu was behind him and saw Yan Xing falling into the Wei River as if he was filled with lead. Regardless of the dark night and high wind, he plunged into the river with great force. Relying on the water properties that he had tempered many times in the Xiang River, he groped up and down in the rapids, and finally failed. Hao Pu dragged Yan Xing, who was seriously injured, out of the Wei River shoal. Hao Pu found that Yan Xing was still breathing, so he ignored the fatigue and took Yan Xing back to the greenhouse for treatment. In order to hide from others, a small shed was built inside the big shed.
After hearing this, Chen Long nodded in approval and asked Hao Puqi to rest. Yan Xing seems to be just a small episode in his trip to the Western Regions, but since his men rescued Yan Xing by mistake, and through Yan Xing it seems that he can reveal the ambitions of Zhang Ji and his son, and through Yan Xing, maybe he can also If Li Ru is fished out, I'm afraid this matter will have to be exploited.
Chen Long looked down at the fierce general on the hospital bed, and his mind naturally began to look through his information. Yan Xing, whose courtesy name was Yanming and later renamed Yan Yan, was a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou and a fierce general in Xiliang.
According to official history, Yan Xing was already well-known when he was young and was able to follow Han Sui as a young general. When Han Sui and Ma Teng clashed, Yan Xing and Ma Chao had a wonderful duel. Yan Xing tried to stab Ma Chao with a spear, but the spear broke. Then Yan Xing hit Ma Chao's neck with the broken spear, almost killing Ma Chao.
In the fourteenth year of Jian'an (AD 209), Han Sui sent him as an envoy to pay homage to Cao Cao. He was treated favorably by Cao Cao, who declared him the governor of Qianwei. Yan Xing was grateful for Cao Cao's kindness and asked to let his father move to the capital. Then he went back to see Han Sui and conveyed Cao Cao's instructions to him: "Han Shuai, you have to raise an army out of necessity. I, Cao Cao, know it. You should do it as soon as possible." Come and surrender and help the imperial court together."
Yan Xing persuaded Han Sui: "I, Yan Xing, also work for the general. Thirty years after the general raised his army, the people and soldiers are exhausted, and the place he occupies is small. We should find someone to rely on as soon as possible. So when I was in Yecheng, I already reported Cao Cao will ask my father to go to the capital, and I hope the general can also send a son to show his loyalty to Cao Cao." Han Sui was puzzled and remained silent, then waved his hand and replied: "Let's wait and see for a few years!"
However, Han Sui later agreed to send his son, and Yan Xing sent his parents to the capital controlled by Cao Cao. Later, when Han Sui attacked Zhang Meng, Ma Chao and other generals in Liangzhou discussed raising troops to fight against Cao Cao, and they unanimously elected Han Sui as the governor. Ma Chao's father Ma Teng was also serving as a hostage in Yecheng at this time. After Han Sui returned, Ma Chao said to him: "Previously, Sili Colonel Zhong Yao ordered me to murder the general. The people in Guandong can no longer believe it. Now that I have given up on my father and treated the general like a father, the general should also give up." Your son, treat me like a son." Yan Xing went to admonish Han Sui, not wanting him to unite with Ma Chao, but Han Sui disagreed.
Later, when Han Sui and Cao Cao were chatting with each other, Yan Xing followed Han Sui. Cao Cao looked at him and said to Han Sui, "You must take care of this filial son." After Cao Cao successfully alienated Ma Chao and Han Sui, he defeated their armies, and Yan Xing followed Han Sui and fled back to Jincheng County. Cao Cao knew about Yan Xing's previous behavior, so he only executed Han Sui's descendants in the capital, but he also wrote a personal letter to Yan Xing, telling him that although his parents were safe, the court could not always provide for them in their old age. Han Sui was furious when he found out that Yan Xing's father had not been executed. In order to make Yan Xing absolutely loyal to him, he forced Yan Xing to marry his daughter. Yan Xing could not refuse. When Cao Cao found out, he began to doubt Yan Xing. 's parents are in danger.
At this time, Han Sui ordered Yan Xing to take charge of Xiping County to the west of Jincheng. The county was located in Xidu County. In order to save his parents and show his loyalty to Cao Cao, Yan Xing gathered his subordinates and turned to attack Han Sui. But Yan Xing could not win in the end, so he took his family to Cao Cao, who worshiped him as a prince.
In May of the 20th year of Jian'an (AD 215), Han Sui gathered tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu troops to threaten the Central Plains. Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to send troops to attack, and ordered Yan Xing to cut off the rear. Han Sui lost to Xia Houyuan and died of illness when he was about to retreat. His remaining troops gave his head to Cao Cao as a sign of submission. Yan Xing later changed his name to Yan Yan and devoted himself to serving Cao Cao in the Wei Dynasty. Cao Cao was also kind to him and gave Yan Xing a knighthood. However, Cao Cao's trust in Yan Xing was limited and he did not allow him to fight on the front line again. This may have something to do with his origin in Xiliang. Therefore, the fierce general Yan Xing ended up spending the rest of his life in a relatively ordinary way, and his descendants inherited his title.
Chen Long looked at Yan Xing with his eyes closed on the hospital bed. How should he use Yan Xing to open the gap between the Xiliang army? How should we use Yan Xing to fish out Li Ru behind the scenes?
