Almost at the same time that Shi Hu received the news about the 'Tang King', Huan Wen, the general of Annan who was guarding Xiangyang, also received the news. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huan Wen, as the assassin of Liangzhou, supervised the northern armies during the fake festival, and has always paid a lot of attention to the Hu people's occupied areas across the river, and he will know about the slightest disturbance in Jiangbei.

(Historical records record that Huan Wen was the general of Anxi who faked the history of Jingzhou, and was transferred to Xiangyang by the third child using the Qiankun Great Transfer.) (^?^)）

After Huan Wen received the news, he frowned and asked Sima Xie Yi, who sent the news, "Who is this Tang King, do you know?" ”

Xie Yi shook his head in distress: "I can't figure it out, I've never heard of such a Tang King, could it be that this person is the heir of Emperor Sima Ye?" ”

Sima Ye's heir?

Huan Wen shook his head slightly: "I heard the princess say that Emperor Chu left behind a son Sima Zhang, but Emperor Chu was only eighteen years old when he was killed, Sima Zhang is just waiting to be fed, presumably Sima Zhang will not survive, let alone have an heir." ”

Hengwen is a concubine today, married to Sima Xingnan, the daughter of Emperor Jin Ming, Princess Nankang, and knows more about the affairs of the royal family than outsiders.

Xie Yi looked at Huan Wen and asked, "Yuanzi, what should we do now?" Obviously, the purpose of this Tang King's trip is Xiangyang, should we send someone across the river to meet it? ”

Yuanzi is Huan Wen's word, Huan Wen nodded: "It doesn't matter if this Tang King is the heir of Emperor Chu, as long as he is Han, we should send troops to respond." But ......"

Huan Wen sighed.

Xie Yi and Huan Wen are close friends, and when he came to Xiangyang to serve Huan Wen as Sima, he was captured by Huan Wenqiang, and he and Huan Wen can be said to have nothing to talk about.

It's just that Xie Yi is so greedy for a cup, he often pulls Huan Wen to drink, and when he drinks it, he is not drunk, even Huan Wen is afraid of him, and sometimes he even hides in the princess's room to avoid Xie Yi, the princess once said with a smile: "If you don't have a dissolute Sima, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you." ”

Xie Yi heard Huan Wen sigh, and also sighed, looked at Huan Wen and said: "Yuanzi, now that Tang King and the women he led are still deep in the enemy territory, if we send troops across the river to meet at this time, we will definitely fall into the enemy territory." In my opinion, we might as well send more sentries to pay close attention, if they can go within a hundred miles of Xiangyang, then it will be safer for us to send troops to respond, even if we only harass the barbarian army on the other side, we can reduce some pressure for them to come to Xiangyang. ”

The corners of Huan Wen's mouth twitched, the Tang King with a large number of women, how difficult it would be to go within a hundred miles of Xiangyang, but Shi Hu stationed 20,000 barbarian troops on the opposite side of Xiangyang Hanshui, and he sent troops across the river to meet the same bloody battle, if he wanted to lead the army to break into the north of Hanshui to meet Tang Dou and them, then it would be useless to send fewer people, but if there were more people sent, Xiangyang would be empty, if the Hu barbarian army took the opportunity to attack Xiangyang, then he would fall into passivity.

Although it is said to be 'Xiangyang of iron, Jingzhou of paper paste', the periphery of Xiangyang City is stacked with natural barriers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, each city gate also has urn city, the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, known as the key of the Han River, the barrier of the Jiang and Han Dynasty, but the military status of Xiangyang is too important, and it must not be lost, so the emperor will transfer his horse from Jingzhou here today.

Xiangyang spans Han in the south and Jingluo in the north, and is located in the north and south.

Huan Wen sighed and said, "For the time being, it can only be like this......"

Before Huan Wen finished speaking, a loud shout came from outside the door: "I don't agree." ”

"You?" Seeing the person who strode in, Huan Wen said with a wry smile: "An Shi, this is also a helpless thing, if we send troops to cross the river rashly, what if the Hu barbarians call me Xiangyang empty and attack Xiangyang?" ”

Xie Yi shouted at the young man who strode in: "An Shi must not be rude, we are discussing the military aircraft matter, not a joke, hurry up." ”

The person who walked in was Tang Dou's old acquaintance, Xie An, the future Eastern Jin Dynasty famous minister who had slept with him, but at this time it was only 349 AD, and there were still four years before Wang Xizhi's Lanting assembly, Xie An was still young, only nineteen years old, and he didn't know where Tang Dou was sacred.

Xie An strode up to Huan Wen, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, straightened up, looked at Huan Wen with a serious face, and said, "The last general does not agree with the adult's decision, and the last general implores the adult to consider it carefully." ”

Huan Wen looked at Xie An with a headache, he was most familiar with the Xie brothers, and knew that Xie Yi was debauched but steady, but Xie Yi's younger brother Xie An was completely opposite to Xie Yi, Xie An was calm but the most impulsive, and even instigated Huan Wen to take the initiative to attack the Han River several times and recover the great rivers and mountains in Jiangbei.

Huan Wen looked at Xie An in distress and said, "An Shi, if Xiangyang is lost, the country will be in danger." ”

Xie An clasped his fists at Huan Wen and said, "My lord, if we don't move, then what about King Tang and those sisters he leads?" How could they have made it all the way to the banks of the Han River? ”

Xie Yi shouted at Xie An: "Then I can only blame that Tang Wang is too stupid, I really don't know how he took those women all the way to kill so far, such an obvious intention, even a fool knows that they are coming to Xiangyang, not only that, but I am also worried that he will provoke more barbarian troops for Xiangyang, and I don't know if Xiangyang will have a big battle because of this." ”

When Xie Yi received the news, he had already argued with Xie An about whether he should send troops to respond, and the two brothers had a big quarrel, and they almost didn't turn their faces and meet each other directly, so at this time Xie An stepped on Xie Yi's heel and chased here.

Xie An grinned bitterly, and lowered his voice: "That Tang Wang is indeed a little stupid, I don't know how to hide my whereabouts and purpose, but after all, they are all Han Chinese, and we can't see death without help." ”

"Save? How to save? Xie Yi yelled at Xie An: "I don't blame that Tang King for bringing military disasters to our Xiangyang, should we go out to kill Hanshui for him and those women?" If the barbarian Hu took the opportunity to seize Xiangyang, wouldn't it push the whole country into a crisis? Since you want to save that idiot so much, then you can save them yourself, and after you save them, it's best not to bring them to Xiangyang, you take them directly to Jiankang......"

Seeing Xie Yi roaring, Huan Wen hurriedly inserted between the two brothers and resisted the two and said: "Wuyi, An Shi, don't be impatient, what you two said makes sense, I think it's better to do this, let's send a small force to secretly cross the river to meet them, and guide them to come to Xiangyang in concealment." ”

"I'll go", Xie An hugged his fist at Huan Wen, and without waiting for Huan Wen to give a formal order, he had already strode towards the door.

Xie Yi shouted at Xie An's back anxiously and angrily, "You'd better die in the territory of the Hu people with that idiot." ”

Xie An, who had already walked to the door, suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xie Yi and shouted: "You fart, even if I die in Jiangbei, it is also the land of our Han people, sooner or later one day I will lead the army to recover Jiangbei, you wait and see." ”

was scolded by his brother for farting, Xie Yi was speechless and stunned.

Although the Xie brothers always have arguments, they have never said such evil words as this time, and this time they have turned their faces.

Huan Wen was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he ordered at Xie An: "An Shi, let's think about it in the long run......"

"Take your time and think about it, and take your leave." Xie An arched his hand casually and strode away.

Until he couldn't see Xie An's back, Xie Yi suddenly covered his chest with his hands and staggered.

Huan Wen hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug Xie Yi, and asked urgently, "Wuyi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xie Yi staggered forward two steps with his pale hands on his chest, and said quickly: "Chase him back, if he rushes across the river, he will definitely die." ”
