Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin didn't dare to say anything more, pricked up their ears and opened their eyes, for fear of missing an important word.

Huan Chong adjusted his breathing hard, looked at the two sons in front of him, and said softly: "Lingbao bought Guanzhong Haoqiang Lu Zongzhi with a huge amount of money this time, and wrote to me to praise him as Nanyang Taishou, do you know, do you know what he is for?" ”

Huan Shimin said: "Lingbao wants to use Lu Zongzhi to guard the Xiangyang area, so as to attract the Guanzhong refugees to invest and establish his own power. ”

Huan Chong nodded: "That's it, he now suspects that I want to occupy Jingzhou and not return it to him, but he doesn't understand my hard work." After I die, you will continue to control Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, and don't give him the position of this assassin for the time being, understand? ”

Huan Shiqian's eyes widened: "Father, what are you talking about?" You just now, didn't you just ask us to serve Lingbao as the lord of Jingzhou? ”

Huan Chong sighed: "What I'm saying is that you guys are going to give Jingzhou to him behind you, but not now." Lingbao is extremely talented, but it is easy to be satisfied since he was a child, once we elders praise him, he will be easy to be proud and complacent, and stop moving, so in order to force him to become a great person like his father, we, we must arrange the most difficult road for him, Jingzhou, only let him find a way to get it himself, and he must not send it away so easily! ”

Huan Shimin gritted his teeth: "Father, my father is really bitter with his heart, but in this way, Lingbao will hate us, so you have to make arrangements for us early?" ”

Huan Chong nodded: "Exactly, Lu Zongzhi, Lu Zongzhi is an outsider after all, if Lingbao does not master Jingzhou now, then, this person will be asked to control Jingbei and Nanyang, that is a very dangerous thing." No matter how much we fight within the Huan clan, we can't let outsiders benefit. Therefore, this Lu Zongzhi must not let him control Nanyang now. ”

Huan Shimin nodded: "Then do you think it is more appropriate to let Nanyang control it?" ”

The light in Huan Chong's eyes began to dim, and he said with difficulty: "Yang, Yang Yanqi." This person, this person must be reused. ”

Huan Shi said really: "Why? Their Yang family, when they lost Liangzhou, they came to vote, and their father said that this Hongnong Yang family is ambitious and cannot be used, why do you want to say reuse it now? ”

Huan Chong sighed: "Because there was no Lu Zongzhi at that time." Yang Yan has the talent of a general, once, once he has a base, it can make a difference, and Hongnong Yang's family, starting from Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is a famous family, just because, because he defected to my Great Jin Dynasty too late, he was still an official in the northern Hu people's court, so he was not allowed by the Gaomen family, and even thought that they were a poor family. Such humiliation, the Yang father and son are desperately trying to wash away, so we can only use it if we press them. ”

"Now, now in the Northern Expedition, Yang Yan led his troops to the expedition, you remember, let him, let him personally seize Luoyang, with this credit, you can express him, show him as Nanyang Taizong, let Lu Zongzhi, Lu Zongzhi for the long history, there is Yang Yan period to suppress Lu Zongzhi, can be guaranteed, can ensure the safety of the north of Jingzhou, and it will not be, not so that Lingbao will have the idea of developing in the north, so that he will be allowed to go to Jiankang to seize power."

Huan Shiqian gritted his teeth: "Father, my father is really far-sighted, but in this way, doesn't he offend Lingbao even more?" ”

Huan Chong sighed and slowly closed his eyes: "If one day, he can really recapture Jingzhou by himself, he will, he will understand my hard work, remember, whether it is Lu Zongzhi or Yang Yanzhi, they are all outsiders, only our own people in the Huan family can be relied on, if Lingbao really can't tolerate you, you can teach your children and grandchildren to flee to Guanzhong and leave a bloodline, understand?" ”

Huan Shimin and Huan Shiqian glanced at each other and nodded: "The child obeys the teachings of his father. ”

Huan Chong closed his eyes with satisfaction, and his voice gradually lowered: "Luoyang, Luoyang's affairs, retreat, fifty miles, let, let Fu Hui go, go ............" Suddenly, his head was crooked, and his hands hung down weakly, and the crying voices of Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin's brothers suddenly echoed in the room: "Dad! ”

Five days later, the city was built.

In a secluded courtyard, Huan Xuan was dressed in filial piety clothes, standing on the rockery by the small lake, although he was wearing heavy filial piety, but there was not much sadness on his face, and Yin Zhongkan, who was standing on the side, blinked at the only one eye left: "Lingbao, you can't be like this after you go out, your uncle has died, you will neither return to Jingzhou, nor do you have a big funeral, but I am afraid that it will not be good for you to spread the word." ”

Huan Xuan said coldly: "It's too bad for him to die, at this time, I still have to wear filial piety for him, and I can't move in Jiankang City." This time, the Xie family and Wang Guobao are fighting more and more fiercely, but I can't play my role at this time, Brother Yin, do you know how anxious I am? ”

Yin Zhongkan shook his head: "But no matter what, Uncle Ling is still powerful, even after death, it is not a secret, Qin Jun Fu Hui's department, under his coercion, finally still can't stand it, 70,000 troops, with more than 100,000 households of Di people, yesterday still withdrew from Luoyang, Liangzhou Assassin Yang Liang's sons Yang Yanqi and Yang Guang, led 5,000 pioneers, has entered Luoyang, good news will come in the next few days." ”

Huan Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "It's this Yang Chong period again, hmph, Huan Chong won't let me go even if he dies, and he will make this great contribution with this Yang Yan period, I'm afraid that he just wants to take Lu Zongzhi's position and prevent him from occupying Nanyang." ”

Yin Zhong was surprised: "No, Lu Zongzhi has spent a lot of money, don't they need it?" ”

Huan Xuan sneered: "Compared to the danger of letting me go back and take away his two precious sons, Lu Zongzhi is nothing." Anyway, Yang Yan can also recruit some northern streamers for them, but it doesn't matter anymore. Brother Yin, what I'm interested in now is not the Central Plains, but Chang'an. ”

Yin Zhongkan's brows furrowed: "Do you still think that Liu Yu went to Chang'an?" It's just that what can he do when he gets there alone? I think he should have gone to Yecheng with Murong Lan, and the Xie family is probably going to reach some agreement with Yan Guo. ”

Huan Xuan shook his head: "If I were Xie Xuan, I would definitely not let Liu Yu go to Hebei at this time." There is no agreement with Murong Trai at this time, and now Murong Trai has been storming Yecheng for nearly two months, and he can't overcome it after exhausting all means, Fu Pi is not a bone to gnaw. On the contrary, it is Chang'an, I am afraid that there will be big changes recently. Brother Yin, look at it, Fu Jian has the help of Fu Hui's troops, and he will definitely take the initiative to attack first, it depends on him, whether to fight Murong Hong or Yao Chang. ”

Speaking of this, Huan Xuan paused and said with a smile: "I think, it should be the Qiang people who beat Yao Chang first, after all, persimmons need to find soft ones to pinch first!" ”
