Bian Fanzhi's expression changed: "My lord, would you like Wang Chen to come in person? Why don't you discuss such an important matter with your subordinates?"
Yin Zhongwen laughed: "Bian Fanzhi, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that my lord has to ask you for instructions on everything?"
Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "This is an important matter. Now Wang Chen is the governor of Jingzhou after all, and you don't even have an official status. You still need to submit a petition to the court through him to recommend you as an official. If he is allowed to come, Nanyang, the nature has changed and he is now your subordinate. Now, we cannot stimulate Wang Chen like this."
Huan Xuan said calmly: "I didn't order him to come, but he came on his own. I told him about the Central Plains, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Moreover, he wanted to use the soldiers and horses in my hands, so he was the one who came. Nanyang instead of me going to Gangneung.”
Bian Fanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "My lord, you mean that Wang Chen can't see the people of Tianshi Dao gaining a foothold in the Central Plains?"
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "Yes, that's the reason. For us, Liu Yu is a big problem, but for Wang Chen, his number one mortal enemy is Tianshi Dao, who competes with his Wang brothers for favor with the King of Kuaiji. Although Sun Tai Not in the Central Plains, but Lu Xun showed his strength in this battle, and might have directly targeted the position of governor of Yuzhou. In that case, the Wang family brothers' plan to control the power internally and control the vassal externally would be ruined. Anyway, , they will not let the Celestial Master Dao succeed, so sending troops to Luoyang to cleanse the Celestial Master Dao's power in the Central Plains is what Wang Chen must do."
Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "That is Wang Chen's business, what good does it do to my lord? Taking advantage of the opportunity to capture Bingzhou and achieve the great success of the Northern Expedition is what you should do, let alone the difference between you and Wang Chen. , just asking him to share the work is not a good choice."
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "I don't have an official status, so I need Wang Chen's help. Besides, the barbarians in the north are fierce. Even if Murong Yongxin is defeated, it will not be easy for us to swallow Bingzhou in one go. If we fail, , just put the responsibility on Wang Chen and Zhu Xu."
Yin Zhongwen smiled and said: "My lord is really smart, but what should I do with Liu Yu?"
Huan Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "I have been feuding with Liu Yu for so many years. As the saying goes, a gentleman will not repay any kindness or grudge. It's time for me to make a decision after meeting Wang Chen. .”
Just as he was speaking, a muscular man as strong as a bear came in armor. This man had a sinister face and a fierce look. He walked with a gust of wind. Even ten steps away, he would give people an invisible pressure. , which makes people very uncomfortable, but it is Huan Xuan's cousin, Huan Zhen, the son of Jingzhou fierce general Huan Shiqian, whose bravery ranks first in Jingzhou, and whose martial prowess remains undiminished as his father.
But Huan Xuan didn't like his nephew very much, because Liu Yu's shadow could be seen in him to some extent. It had almost become a nightmare in his life. Even now, when he wakes up from his dream at midnight, he still has it all. He was sweating coldly, gnashing his teeth, and even looking at Huan Zhen, who was also tall and burly, was furious.
Huan Xuan said coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Huan Zhen saluted and said: "The governor of Jingzhou King has arrived in Nanyang with a small number of guards, just outside the city."
Huan Xuan's expression changed. He had reported the news to Wang Chen the day before yesterday. Unexpectedly, within two days, this ugly ghost came rushing over. His anxiety was obvious. He quickly turned to the people around him and said: " Hurry, take Fu Pi's head and those important prisoners, and let's go to meet the Governor Wang."
Half an hour later, Wang Chen, wearing official robes and a stern expression, was riding on a horse. He looked at Huan Xuan, who was wearing civilian clothes in front of him. He was smiling and holding a wooden box in his hand. Wang Chen clicked. At the corner of his mouth, on his wrinkled face, he said with a calm expression: "Huan Xuan, do you know your sin?"
Huan Xuan shook his head: "The common people don't know what crime they are guilty of?!"
Wang Chen's eyes flashed coldly: "You still know that you are a common man?! Common people should abide by their duties. Privately deploy troops and occupy states and counties. This is an act of rebellion. It is such a serious crime. Don't you think it's worth it? "
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "I dare not forget about my country because of my humble position. Fu Qin's puppet invaded the south, and Xi Yan's tigers and wolves followed closely. The family and country were in danger. Although the common people had no official status, they had a passion for serving the country, so they went to Hongnong, Shaanxi County The two generals Guo and Feng were here to provide advice and make plans. Now that the work is done, the leader of the thieves has been killed, and the common people are about to present their heads to the governor. If the situation in the Central Plains had not changed, the common people would not have dared to trouble the governor to come to Nanyang in person. "
Wang Chen sneered and said: "Huan Xuan, a sharp-tongued and eloquent person, you say that you are a commoner and have no official status, but you can have two dignified generals of the imperial court listen to your words. Is this a merit or a crime? "
Huan Xuan said calmly: "Just like Wang Cishi and Zun Xiong did not have official status back then, but they could make suggestions and plan state affairs in front of the King of Kuaiji, wouldn't they also become frontier officials and dominate the country today? The common people have admired Wang Cishi for a long time, and today This move is just an imitation of what you did back then."
Wang Chen's expression changed, an angry look appeared on his face, and he glared at Huan Xuan fiercely. Huan Xuan was smiling there, holding the wooden box in his hand, his expression was as usual. After a long time, Wang Chen slowly showed a smile: "As expected of Huan Wen. My son is really amazing, well, let me see what you have accomplished this time."
Huan Xuan smiled and put the wooden box on the ground, opened the lid, and saw a bloody head displayed in front of Wang Chen. His hair was braided, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of unwillingness, but this was not right. Is it the former Qin Emperor Fu Pi who established himself as king?
Several hundred high-ranking prisoners from the former Qin clan, nobles, and generals who were kneeling on the ground while being escorted by sergeants were all heartbroken and burst into tears when they saw Fu Pi's head. And the two little children were exactly the same. Fu Pi's two sons, both less than ten years old, were rolling on the ground crying and almost fainted.
But on the side of the Jin army, cheers rang out. All the soldiers struck their shields with their swords, stamped their feet on the ground, stepped on their military boots, and shouted loudly: "Destroy the Hu, destroy the Hu, destroy the Hu!"
Wang Chen nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed Fu Pi. How did he die? I have a reward in the Jin Dynasty. Anyone who kills the fake and rebellious Fu Pi will be rewarded with millions of dollars and a county man."
Huan Xuan's face did not change as he said: "Fu Pi was killed by the common people himself, and all the soldiers present can testify to this."
As soon as he finished speaking, among the crowd of Jin Dynasty generals on one side, a strong figure pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the front. His eyes were wide open, almost bleeding, and he pointed at Huan Xuan and cursed. : "Huan Xuan, all the soldiers in the army saw with their own eyes that I killed Fu Pi. Today, in front of the king's governor, you actually want to take the credit?!"
