Huan Xuan's face changed slightly, and he immediately reacted, and started fighting: "Oh, Bian Shizhong, when you said that, I remembered it. Yesterday during the military meeting, I casually said, look at me This brain. Well, let’s meet up with Yin Shizhong and the others after we bring the gold and silver back to the army together.”
Having said this, he stood up and said to Yu Xizhi, who was standing beside him and was fully armed, "General Yu, you and your two beloved ladies will set off first, and I will go to the south gate later."
Yu Yizhi bowed and took Wang Kangchan and Wang Tengzhi out of the tent. Soon, Huan Qian and Huan Shikang also came out. Only Huan Xuan and Bian Fanzhi were left in the tent.
Huan Xuan's face instantly turned gloomy, and he said bitterly: "I didn't expect that even a man named Yin would betray me. He probably followed Wang Shen'ai, and Tao Yuanming betrayed me and surrendered to the enemy!"
Bian Fanzhi said calmly: "Yin Zhongwen is a capricious villain. He has betrayed his cousin Yin Zhongkan before. Now that His Majesty is in trouble, he will naturally change his family. As for Tao Yuanming, he is a shrewd guy like a ghost. , no one can see through his heart, and Wang Shen'ai has been dealing with many forces for many years, and is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. If Tao Yuanming and Wang Shen'ai made the decision to abandon His Majesty and switch to Liu Yu, It is almost effortless to convince the snob Yin Zhongwen."
Huan Xuan slapped his thigh bitterly: "I wish I hadn't listened to you, Jingzu, and killed Tao Yuanming earlier. At a critical moment of life and death, one can still distinguish between loyalty and villainy, good and evil."
Bian Fanzhi sighed: "I can only say that he pretended too much, and even I was deceived. Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more. Think about how to stop the loss. At least, Sima Dezong is still in our hands. Come on, as long as we pick up the prince, bring gold and silver, and join Huan Zhen, we still have hope. If we advance, we can counterattack Jingzhou, or if we retreat, we can bring thousands of soldiers and horses to Bashu. By then, we will seize Mao's inheritance. Whether you want to transfer to the Later Qin Dynasty or not, you can do it with your camera."
Huan Xuan nodded: "Then I'll go to the south gate, and you can pick up Sheng'er as soon as possible. Now he is my only son. Da Chu's foundation will depend on him in the future."
Bian Fanzhi said seriously: "I'll go right away, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. If anything changes, we will still meet at Jiangfeng Ferry in the south of the city as planned."
Two hours later, Huan Xuan walked down the tower of Nancheng amidst the cheers of the people. Wang Kangchan came up to him with a charming smile on his face: "Your Majesty, what you said is so good, every word is Zhuji. It was also full of thunderous momentum. I have never heard such an exciting speech before, and I wish I could go into battle in person now and follow His Majesty to pursue the fleeing enemies."
Wang Tengzhi pressed his fist heavily on his chest and performed a military salute: "General, please fight. Please allow me to take two thousand sergeants as the vanguard of the army. I will definitely kill Liu Yi, He Wuji and other thieves for Your Majesty." Brain!”
Huan Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "It is only because of the hard work of the soldiers in front that we can achieve such a victory. I have no preparations. I just briefly talked about the battle situation in front. My dear friends. , I said that you all have important responsibilities. Only by protecting Jiangling can the soldiers at the front be worry-free. I will go out soon to pursue the fleeing enemies on the front. In the days when I leave, the safety of Jiangling City depends on it. I love you both."
A trace of confusion flashed across Wang Kangchan's face: "Well, haven't the enemy forces been repulsed? There won't be any danger in Jiangling City."
Huan Xuan curled his lips and said in a deep voice: "These Jingba thieves are very cunning and full of tricks. Although I defeated the main force, I cannot rule out the possibility that they will send a small force, or even thousands of troops, to attack in a detour. This time I am leading a naval fleet to pursue the enemy fleet, and if they land some land troops and horses, I cannot completely intercept them, otherwise it will affect the speed of pursuing the enemy. However, the enemy's new defeat makes everyone feel frightened. , Jiangling is also a famous fortified city in the world. As long as the two dear friends hold it firmly and don't be deceived by the enemy's tricks, even if the enemy makes a sneak attack, it will not be successful. When I calm down the thieves in front, if There is still an enemy attack here, and I will definitely join hands with the two dear friends to destroy the enemy under the city. By then, the military exploits you two hope for will be within your reach."
The two looked at each other and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has far-sighted plans, which are beyond the reach of me. I wish you another great victory, completely eliminate the Beijing Bayi Party, and put down the rebellion as soon as possible."
Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "You go ahead and let the people go back to their homes early. It will be getting late. When Shizhong Bian comes, I will set off. You don't have to come to see me off. You can just perform your duties."
The two of them bowed and left. Half an hour later, the south gate returned to calm, and the inside of the barbican became empty. However, Huan Xuan kept pacing back and forth, murmuring: "Why don't you come? Why haven't you come yet?"
Suddenly, Wan Gai shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, look, isn't that Bian Shizhong?"
Everyone looked up and saw Bian Fanzhi riding a horse, followed by a fast carriage. The carriage was driving fast and steady, and the bead curtain was lifted, and a five-year-old man could be vaguely seen sitting inside. The child, who was about 6 years old, was urging a coachman who was wearing a bamboo hat and whose face could not be seen clearly: "Hurry up, hurry up, I want to see my father."
Huan Xuan suddenly shouted: "Sheng'er, Sheng'er, come to Father quickly."
The carriage stopped steadily. The driver jumped off the horse from the shaft and knelt down to salute. Bian Fanzhi also jumped off the horse. Behind them, about a hundred steps away, at the gate of Wengcheng, Wang Kang Chan was commanding a group of soldiers and brought another carriage. Sima Dewen rode beside the carriage, and it was self-evident that the man in the carriage must be Sima Dezong.
Huan Xuan laughed, because when he saw his youngest son Huan Sheng, he jumped out of the car, opened his arms, and rushed towards his father. His eyes were full of tears. He was the kind of child who has a relationship with his parents. The fear and attachment after the separation were finally released at this moment. What could make him happier than seeing his father again?
Huan Xuan also smiled and picked up Huan Sheng, raising it high above his head. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a bright sword light flashed from the side. Huan Xuan, who had experienced many battles, suddenly realized that a wave of The fierce sword energy directly attacked him, coming from the coachman. At this moment, more than ten torches around him were extinguished at the same time. Under the shining of the sword light, a pair of clear water under the bamboo hat, seducing the soul. The breathtaking beautiful eyes came into his eyes, and at the same time, there was a beautiful hand, as white as jade, holding a dark green sword with cold light!
