War, in fact, is an unpredictable gamble, sometimes to win the opponent, you don't need to be good with your hole cards.

More often than not, it requires momentum, courage, and even a bit of luck.

In the contest between Huan Xuan and Sima Yuanxian, this is particularly obvious.

When both sides have concerns, whoever can take the lead and show great strength and determination will be able to gain the advantage and win the first opportunity.

I'm afraid this is also an important reason why Bian Fanzhi has been encouraging Huan Xuan to take the initiative.

Now that the first battle has been won, it has not only greatly boosted the morale of the Western Army, but also rallied the hearts of the people inside and stabilized the rear.

The defeat of King Qian completely made Sima Yuanxian fall into the abyss, and also split the originally contradictory court in an instant.

There was an uproar at all levels, from the children of the family to the common people, discussing a topic of fear.

That is, the frightening war in front of us, and everyone understands that a catastrophe may befall Jiankang again.

The children of the Huan family, who had not been killed before, became active, and they actively wooed the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and continuously reported the situation in Jiankang to Huan Xuan.

And the father and son of the king of Huiji have now really become a loner, and the former prestige and arrogance are gone.

Faced with an embattled and uncontrollable situation, as well as the powerful offensive of the Huan army, the father and son of the king of Huiji were frightened, and their souls were not possessed.

In desperation, Sima Yuanxian had no choice but to lead the army to fight in person, trying to save the precarious situation.

In the early morning of the next day, Sima Yuanxian took the temporarily recruited rabble out of the city and lined up outside the Xuanyang Gate.

At this time, rumors were spreading inside and outside Jiankang, and people were panicking, and some people even said that Huan Xuan had advanced outside the Suzaku Bridge.

And the forbidden army had been sparse for a long time, gathered together in a chaotic manner, and a large number of soldiers began to sneak away.

Just when the forbidden army was worried about themselves, Huangfu Fu, the general under Huan Xuan, had already led the vanguard army to Jiankang City.

Listening to the endless sound of war drums and looking at the swarming Huan army, the soldiers of the forbidden army were timid before they fought.

When Huang Fufu saw the chaotic formation of the forbidden army, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he immediately decided to lead the crowd to raid.

The Huan soldiers held their horizontal knives and shouted at the forbidden soldiers: "Put down your arms, surrender and don't kill!" ”

Suddenly, the soldiers of the forbidden army scattered and fled.

Sima Yuanxian fled to Sima Daozi's East Mansion on a single horse for refuge, and only Zhang Fashun was the only one with him.

What made the father and son of the Huiji King even more desperate was that the ministers who praised them, flattered them, and flattered them at the beginning were now all standing idly by, and no one was willing to stand up to help them.

Sima Yuanxian hugged Sima Daozi's thigh and cried non-stop, completely losing the vigor he had when he replaced his father and took charge of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Alas! It's really feng shui in turns, King Huiji never thought that their father and son would also have a time when the mountains and rivers were exhausted.

Facing his panicked son, Sima Daozi could only cry and never say a word.

Knowing that the vanguard had defeated the main force of the forbidden army, Huan Xuan immediately led the main force of the army to advance quickly, and stopped when he walked to Xinting.

Xinting is located in Yuhuatai District, Nanjing City, is an important military fortress in the south of Jiankang, the national capital during the Six Dynasties, and is the north-south gateway of Jiankang Palace.

Xinting west of the river, here the scenery is beautiful, the scenery is peculiar, the time of the Eastern Wu was originally the place of sending, welcome, banquet.

However, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the role of the new pavilion has undergone a qualitative change, which is determined by its own topography and geographical location.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, all the upper and lower troops raised troops in the capital, they must pass through the new pavilion.

When Emperor Jin Yuan Dingding Jiangdong, with the assistance of Wang Dao, he had an important meeting with the northern and southern families in Xinting.

At that gathering, the northern and southern families reached a compromise, and with the joint support of all the families, Sima Rui officially became the master of Jiangdong.

Since then, the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime has been established step by step from scratch, from small to large.

And today, Xinting once again ushered in a man of the year - Nanjun Gong Huan Xuan, at this time Huan Xuan can be said to be complacent.

Before the war, he never thought that the raising of troops would be so smooth, except for a small battle with Sima Shangzhi, the rest almost swept all the way to the Beijing Division.

As soon as he entered Xinting, Huan Xuan ordered Bian Fanzhi to take people to arrest the father and son of King Huiji.

Not long after Bian Fanzhi left, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Huangmenlang Wang Mi, came to Xinting to visit Huan Xuan.

Soon after the secret talk with Wang Mi, Huan Xuan led the army to officially enter Jiankang in Beijing.

The Son of Heaven immediately issued an edict to remove the father and son of the King of Huiji from all positions, and appointed Huan Xuan as the chief Baihua (in charge of civil and military officials), the servant, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the prime minister, the Lu Shang scholar, the pastor of Yangzhou, and the history of Xuzhou, and the rest of the history of Jingzhou and Jiangzhou remains unchanged.

Then Huang Yue, Yu Bao advocated, and 20 swords were added, and four people were set up, including Changshi, Sima, and Zhonglang.

When he went to the temple, he was allowed to bring 200 heavily armed armor soldiers as escorts.

After Huan Xuan got the history of Yangzhou and Xuzhou, he appointed his elder brother Huan Wei as the history of Jingzhou, and his cousin Huan Qian as the left servant of Shangshu and the general of the Chinese army.

Huan Qian's younger brother Huan Xiu was appointed as the governor of the six states of the military, the right general, the Xuzhou Yanzhou assassin history, and the fake festival.

appointed his cousin Huan Shisheng, who reported the news, as a former general and Jiangzhou assassin; Bian Fanzhi is General Jianwu and Danyang Yin.

His brother-in-law Yin Zhongwen was also appointed by Huan Xuan as a servant and a leading general.

In addition to placing his cronies inside and outside the court, Huan Xuan also entrusted important tasks to the famous people and ministers of the court who switched to him.

For example, Wang Mi, because of his friendship with Huan Xuan, was directly promoted from Huangmenlang all the way to the middle secretary, led Situ, and was named the Duke of Wuchang County.

Around this time, the famous man Yang Fu also came from Beijing to join Huan Xuan.

Yang Fu has been friends with Huan Xuan since he was a child, and at this time he was serving as a driver in Yanzhou, and when he heard that Huan Xuan had invaded Beijing, he immediately ran back from Beijing.

In addition to these old things, Huan Xuan also showed magnanimity to some former enemies.

A few years ago, the young and vigorous Huan Xuan jumped on a horse and raised a gun in front of Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou at that time.

Yin Zhongkan's army Liu Mai once reprimanded Huan Xuan, and was almost killed by Huan Xuan's faction.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Liu Mai again today, Huan Xuan not only did not blame the other party, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Huan Xuan's move was to appease the various clans in the Jingshi, because Wang Mi, Yang Fu, Liu Mai and others almost represented the various factions in the current Jingshi.

And the various gate lord clans are actually willing to see Huan Xuan expel the dictatorship of Sima Daozi's father and son, and restore the situation of co-governance between the Sima clan and the various gate lords.

But obviously they all underestimated Huan Xuan, and now Huan Xuan is just a newcomer, and he doesn't dare to expose his ambitions, so he has to disguise himself as a corporal Lixian.

In fact, in Huan Xuan's heart, he would have long wished to replace the Jin family immediately and usurp power.

But in any case, at least so far, Huan Xuan has done a very good job, winning unanimous praise both inside and outside the government and the opposition.

Even the history books of later generations said that when Huan Xuan first entered the Beijing Division, he reprimanded the traitors and promoted the talents, and the Beijing Division was very happy and hoped that he could end the current chaotic situation.

After gaining his will, Huan Xuan acted quickly and immediately liquidated Sima Daozi's father and son.

A few days later, on the fourth day of Huan Xuan's entry into the Jingshi, someone reported that Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, was drunk and unfilial, and according to the law, he should be beheaded.

Subsequently, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to exile Sima Daozi to Xin'an County, and beheaded Sima Yuanxian and six sons, including Sima Yanzhang, the king of the East China Sea.

In addition, Sima Shangzhi, Zhang Fashun, Taifu Zhonglang Mao Tai and his younger brother guerrilla general Mao Di, Taifu joined the army Xun Xun, and Yuan Zun, the official department, and other members of the Huiji King were all killed.

Sima Shangzhi's second brother, Danyang Yin Sima Huizhi, the third brother, auxiliary general Sima Yunzhi, Mao Tai's fourth brother, Taifu Master Mao Dun and others were exiled to Guangzhou.

Among the important ministers of the original court, except for Wang Xun, Che Yin, Xie Jing, Wang Xun and others who escaped due to illness or other reasons, most of them were questioned by Huan Xuan, or dismissed from office, or exiled to other places.

Even if Sima Daozi was exiled, Huan Xuan still couldn't be completely assured.

In order to prevent future troubles forever, Huan Xuan sent people to kill Sima Daozi, Sima Huizhi, Sima Yunzhi and others on the way to exile.

Originally, Huan Xuan wanted to kill Wang Dan, but Huan Xiu and others begged for mercy, and told Wang Dan how he had pleaded, so he pardoned Wang Dan and only exiled him to Guangzhou.

After Huan Xuan exiled the king of Huiji, he killed him, which can be described as vicious.

And the government and the opposition saw Huan Xuan's wanton involvement, and everyone was suddenly in danger, and even King Langya, who had just been dismissed from the position of Situ, was also panicked.

It's just that now that Huan Xuan is in power, he can no longer go in and out of the palace at will, and he can't ask Liu Muzhi for advice.

But how did he know that when Huan Xuan entered the Jingshi, Liu Muzhi had already left King Langya behind, and now he was bent on helping Hexi get the righteousness of going to Yizhou.
