After a short stop in Chengdu, Wei Shuo and his entourage left the dark tide of Shudi, and he will next go to Jingzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Jingzhou is nominally ruled by Yin Zhongkan, it is actually Huan Xuan who is in charge.

Let's talk about Huan Xuan first, he was born in a wealthy family, and when he was five years old, he took the title of Duke of Nanjun, his father.

has been pretentious since childhood, and often regards himself as a hero.

It was only because Huan Wen showed signs of usurpation in his later years, which led to the Huan family being suppressed as today's son.

Huan Xuan did not become the crown prince until he was twenty-three years old, but he thought that the official position was too small, so he resigned and returned to the fiefdom Nanjun.

And Yin Zhongkan was originally a Huangmenlang of the imperial court, and he was deeply favored and trusted by today's son.

He was sent by Sima Yao to Jingzhou to replace Wang Chen, in order to balance the powerful Sima Daozi and continue to suppress the Huan clan.

I have to say that Sima Yao overestimated Yin Zhongkan's ability.

He was ordered to sit in Jiangling and supervise Jingzhou, and there was no way to take Huan Xuan, who was close at hand.

Since Huan Wen has been operating Jingzhou for several years, this place has become the old land of the Huan family.

On this one-acre and three-point land, the Huan family can be said to cover the sky with one hand.

Even if it is as strong as Wang Chen, it is only a little bit of suppression of the Huan family.

Now that he has changed to Yin Zhongkan, who has a cowardly personality, how can he defeat the sharp-edged Huan Xuan?

The people of Jingzhou are accustomed to listening to the Huan family's envoys, and most of the Jingzhou generals are all looking forward to the Huan family.

Therefore, after Yin Zhongkan arrived, he was forced by Huan Xuan's prestige to change Wang Chen's tough suppression of the Huan family, and adopted Huairou to envelop him, and asked Huan Xuan to take ideas on major and minor matters in the state.

As a result, under Yin Zhongkan's continuous weakness, Huan Xuan gradually became a history of thorns who were not assassins.

……

After the group of people and horses arrived at Yiling, they changed to boats and took the waterway, which cost everyone's lives.

Everyone is from the north, and where have they seen what the wind and waves are like before this.

Just looking at the boats tossing in the waves of the river several feet high, including the tough guy Kanglong, they were all frightened to the point of being earthy.

Except for Wei Shuo, who has a special physique and can still support it, the rest of the people all committed seasickness and vomited in the dark.

After vomiting, his body was sore, and he could only be trapped with a rope.

Otherwise, a wave hits, and the hull of the ship shakes, and people roll back and forth like a ball.

Kanglong suffered a big loss before, and he didn't know how many bags he hit on his head.

The guards, who had been majestic and heroic, were all gray at the moment, and they were curled up weakly.

"Lord...... Lord, no...... Didn't think about it...... Come to think of it, it's so hard to take a boat...... Uncomfortable. ”

"Minister...... The minister is so big, from ...... Never...... It's not as embarrassing as it seems. ”

"South Ship North Horse...... The ancients did not deceive me! ”

Seeing Cui Hong's loveless appearance, Wei Shuo couldn't help but feel distressed.

Everyone else has rough skin and thick meat, but seasickness is not a big deal.

However, Cui Hong is not only old, but also a scholar, so his physique naturally cannot be compared with the guards.

"Sir, be patient a little longer, and when we get to Gangneung, let's have a good rest."

"Don't worry about the lord, the minister can support it." After speaking, Cui Hong showed a wry smile on his face.

After comforting Cui Hong, Wei Shuo was attracted by the figure of the sailor on the deck again.

"Uncle Xuan, Meng Xun, look at those sailors!"

"The Jiangdong Sailor really lives up to his reputation, under such high waves and winds, those sailors walk as usual, like no one."

Following the direction of Wei Shuo's finger, Cui Hong and Fuqu Mengxun took a look, only to see those sailors moving steadily on the deck, as if they were walking on the ground.

The sailors worked together to keep the fleet from stray from course, at least not to be overturned by the waves.

Looking at the sailors who were busy on the deck, Cui Hong suddenly didn't know what he thought, and he deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke.

"My lord, when you go south to Jiangdong in the future, you must first train the water master."

"You must not venture south, otherwise you will repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao and Fu Jian."

"Alas, how difficult is it to train a sailor? Not to mention that there is a shortage of talented people who understand water warfare in the north, unless Hexi fights to the eastern coast, there will not even be a training place. ”

"Moreover, the Sailor Division is a technical branch of the army, which requires a lot of time to train, and it is difficult to produce results in ten or eight years."

"The Lord is right!"

……

Then the weather improved, the journey was no longer so uncomfortable, and after a few more days, the fleet arrived safely in Gangneung.

Jiangling, also known as Jingzhou City, has been war-torn for thousands of years, experienced the vicissitudes of the times, and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times.

Shu Han Guan Yu, Eastern Wu Zhu Ran, and Eastern Jin Huan Wen were stationed in Tuncheng successively, and they also repaired the city.

The whole city is an irregular rectangle, less than four kilometers long from east to west, and about one kilometer wide from north to south.

The city wall is equipped with urn city, enemy tower, war house, hidden soldier hole, compound city gate, the defense system is complete, it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is the saying that the iron hits Jingzhou.

This city is the most important military town in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is also an important frontline town to resist the southern invasion of Hulu in the north.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Cui Hong suddenly rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Jiangling is about to arrive, this is the nest of the famous dragon Kang Huan clan, the minister heard that Huan Xuan was rampant and domineering in Jingzhou, and even assassinated Shi Yin Zhongkan for three points." ”

"Isn't the lord worried?"

"Shuo is just passing through Jingzhou, and he's not here to cause trouble, so what's there to worry about?"

"Hahaha, I hope so."

"Hey, as soon as Uncle Xuan said this, Shuo suddenly felt that this trip was not going well."

Wei Shuo pinched his chin and thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Right now, the imperial court is suspicious of the Huan family, you and I will definitely have to deal with Huan Xuan when we arrive in Jiangling, what do you say we should do with it?" ”

"The lord is worried about making friends with Huan Xuan and causing dissatisfaction in the court?"

"Yes, after all, the court is powerful, so it's not easy for us to offend!"

"But how can Huan Xuan say that he is also the overlord of Jingzhou, and he can't be offended easily, isn't this a dilemma?"

"It's here, we can only act on the opportunity."

……

When the fleet slowly approached the dock, the city gate was also full of Jingzhou civil and military, all waiting for Wei Shuo's arrival.

Thorn Shi Yin Zhongkan sat in the carriage and was closing his eyes to recuperate.

Other civil and military officers gathered together and whispered, and the content was naturally related to the entry of Hexi people into the court.

As for the famous Huan Xuan, since he is not an official of Jingzhou, he is naturally not suitable to come.

However, he had already set up a banquet in the Huanfu Flower Hall.

During the banquet, in addition to Bian Fanzhi and Yin Zhongwen, there were also Jingzhou generals such as Feng Gai and Huangfufu.

"Do any of you know Wei Shuo?"

"I know this person in the next place, he is quite famous in the north, and has defeated Lu Guang, Tuoba Jue, Yao Chang and other Hu heroes, and this year he has wiped out the four small countries of Houliang, Nanliang, Xiqin, and Qiuchi in one fell swoop."

"It is said that there are four states under his rule, with millions of people, and his subordinates are known as advisers like rain and soldiers like clouds."

"Advisers are like rain, soldiers are like clouds? Really, fakely? Why hadn't you heard of his reputation before? Yin Zhongwen's face was full of suspicion.

Bian Fanzhi put down the wine cup and affirmed: "That Wei Shuo has always been in the northwest, if it weren't for his sudden entry into the court, who would have gone out of his way to inquire about the remote Hexi?" ”

"And this person is extremely young, only one year younger than Lingbao."

When Huan Xuan heard that Wei Shuo was a year younger than him, his face changed drastically. He has always regarded himself as a hero, and he always thinks that there are few people in the world who can compare with him, but now a Wei Shuo suddenly appeared, which made him interested all of a sudden.

He took a sip of his wine lightly and ordered, "Find an opportunity to invite him to the mansion as a guest, I think it will be Wei Zhiyuan." ”

"This is easy to do, when the surnamed Wei arrives in Jiangling, the assassin will definitely set up a banquet to entertain him, and then we will go directly to the banquet."

……

In 392 AD, at the end of October, the Western Regions Metropolitan Guards Shuo successfully arrived at Jiangling City by water.

Yang Yan, the prime minister of Nanjun, was ordered by the assassin to personally greet Wei Shuo on the dock.

Yang was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and was elected by Yin Zhongkan as Sima and replaced Jiang Ji as the minister of Nanjun.

And because Yin Zhongkan has never had military talent, all the affairs in the army were handed over to the Yang Yanqi brothers.

It is precisely because of Yang Yan's presence that although Yin Zhongkan is in a difficult situation in Jingzhou, he will not be completely suppressed by Huan Xuan.

Yang Yanqi looked from afar, and saw three hundred guards with bright armor standing behind Wei Shuo, and their uniform movements shocked his heart.

Only then did he remember that Wei Shuo was a fierce general who was killed in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and the Hexi army even killed Hu Lu in the north, and he had no power to fight back.

He straightened his clothes and hurried to meet him.

"The last general Yang Yan, in the name of the history of the assassination, came to greet the Dadu Protector, and asked the Dadu Protector to enter the city with the last general."

Yang Yanqi Shen Yi was resolute and brave, completely different from the children of other families, and liked to regard himself as a military general, which also caused him to have many contradictions with other families.

"It turned out to be General Yang, and I will be fortunate to meet you."

Wei Shuo smiled and stepped forward to greet Yang Yanqi, knowing that the person in front of him was Yin Zhongkan's confidant, so he didn't dare to slack off.

Subsequently, accompanied by Yang Yanqi, Wei Shuo and his entourage galloped towards Jiangling City.
