Chapter 466: The Disaster of Xiao Wall Sees the Clues
Jiankang City, Taiwei Mansion, Taiwei Huan Wen was discussing with everyone, and an attendant came to report and said: "Lord Taiwei, the former general of the Qin Army is Xin, and I have something important to ask to see my lord!" ”
"Trusted!" Huan Wen frowned, "What is he here for?" ”
"Back to the captain, the villain doesn't know! General Meng only said that there was urgent military affairs and that he would see the adults immediately! ”
"Well, I know, invite him to the study, and I'll go over to see him!" Saying that, Huan Wen got up and said to a group of henchmen, "You wait here, I'll go and meet this veteran of the Qin army, and I'll be back in a moment!" ”
After Huan Wen arrived at the study, Meng Xin was already waiting inside, and before Huan Wen entered the house, he laughed loudly early: "General Meng is here, what a rare guest!" My little Taiwei Mansion only feels that it is shining! ”
Seeing Huan Wen put on a posture of a corporal of Lixian, Meng Xin didn't buy it, and without waiting for Huan Wen to take a seat, he went straight to the point: "Lord Taiwei, you have all kinds of opportunities every day, and you are entangled in everything, and there is no need to delay your time!" I came here today on the orders of the general of my family to ask why the grain, grass and ordnance promised by the imperial court have not arrived for a long time! ”
"Late?!" Taiwei Huan Wen was stunned when he heard this: "Old General Meng, how is this possible?" On the second day after the King of Qin led his army out of the city, I directly issued the military orders of the Taiwei Mansion to the state capitals and counties on matters such as requisitioning grain! According to the number of days, this first batch of grain, grass and ordnance should have arrived at the front line of Weishui five days ago! ”
After hearing Huan Wen's words, Meng Xin took out a small note from his arms and handed it to Taiwei Huan Wen: "If you don't believe it, please read it yourself!" This is the next day, just received the flying pigeon biography, as of noon the day before yesterday, the soldiers in front of our Qin army, did not see a single mile or a meter! ”
"And there's such a thing!?" Taiwei Huan Wen took the note, only to see that this letter was written by Qin Feng himself, and what the letter said was also consistent with Mengxin's statement, the grain, grass and ordnance that should have arrived three days ago had not arrived at the front line of Weishui as of noon the day before!
Holding this small note, Taiwei Huan Wen smiled slightly: "General Meng, this military order for requisition and transportation of grain, this Taiwei has indeed already issued it, but this matter of requisition of grain is handled by King Huiji, even I am not sorry to ask!" Why didn't General Meng go to the Huiji Palace, maybe there was something wrong with him? ”
Hearing Huan Wen's words, Meng Xin's eyes widened, flashed a look of death, stared at Taiwei Huan Wen and said coldly: "Lord Taiwei, I have already asked King Huiji, he said that the military rations levied in Jiangzhou and Yangzhou totaled more than 1.3 million stones, and they were handed over to Taiwei's Mansion as early as ten days ago!" ”
Speaking of this, Meng Xin glanced at Huan Wen and said in a deep voice: "Lord Taiwei, the battle in the court is small, and the national righteousness comes first!" The northern hus are raging, the Central Plains is thousands of miles away, the community is in danger of being overhanged, and the people of Li are in danger of being tired! The general of my family, the 100,000 soldiers of my Qin army, who are not from the Southern Dynasty, can abandon their previous suspicions and send troops to kill the enemy for the Southern Dynasty! As an important minister of the Southern Dynasty, Taiwei has read the books of sages and sages, so he wants not to be hindered in the battle, so he will detain the grain, grass and ordnance of my Qin army! ”
As soon as Mengxin said this, Huan Wen scolded secretly, thinking that this must be a good thing done by his eldest son Huan Xi! He has always handed over the transfer of grain and grass to the garrisons in various places, and he must be this idiot, thinking that if he cut off the grain and grass ordnance of the Qin army, he would be able to get rid of a strong enemy for himself, so he did not report to himself, so he made an argument and privately detained the grain and grass of the Qin army!
This ignorant fool, he didn't want to think about why he ordered to detain most of the more than 1.3 million stone grain and grass from the front, and only give 500,000 stone grain and grass to the Qin army in front! With such obvious intentions, can't he really see it?
Thinking of this, Taiwei Huan Wen smiled at Meng Xin and said: "Old General Meng, this Taiwei has been entangled in all things recently, and the matter of the Qin army's grain and grass is indeed a little negligent!" But don't worry, I'll send someone to find out about this matter, as for the Qin army's grain, grass and ordnance, General Meng, please rest assured, within three days, more than 1.3 million stones, grain and grass will definitely be shipped! ”
"Three days!?" Hearing Taiwei Huanwen's words, Meng Xin took out the Qin sword on his waist and stabbed it in front of Taiwei Huanwen! Meng Xin pointed to this Qin sword and said sharply: "Lord Taiwei, this Qin sword, following the battle in the south and the north, has long been the sword blade has collapsed, and the sword body has been broken!" Now that my Qin army soldiers are fighting bloodily in front, just like this Qin sword, how can I wait for three days! ”
Since pacifying Shu and capturing the enemy chief Li Zhen, Taiwei Huan and Wen have leaned towards the government and the opposition, and there is no difference for a while! No one has ever dared to draw his sword and speak in front of him as Mengxin did. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Even Sima Yu, the king of Huiji who is-for-tat with him, although he hates himself in his heart, on the surface, the two of them still have no shortage of courtesy, let alone be as tense as Mengxin!
Looking at Meng Xin in front of him, Taiwei Huan Wen secretly scolded in his heart: "These Qin people, from Qin Feng to the soldiers, they are all barbarians who don't know how to be polite!" ”
Although Taiwei Huan Wen couldn't wait to call the Taiwei Mansion armor and kill Meng Xin on the spot, he also knew that at this time, the major event had not been accomplished, and it was really not appropriate to make extraneous branches! So Taiwei Huan Wen looked at Meng Xin and asked, "Three days is too long?" So according to the old general's wishes, how many days should it be? ”
"Lord Taiwei, the general of my family said that if you don't see the grain and grass transported out, you will not leave Lord Taiwei!"
"You!" Taiwei Huan Wen saw Meng Xin pressing forward step by step, and he almost scolded out in anger! Holding back the anger in his heart, he looked at Meng Xin and said, "General Meng, please go back to the house for the time being, and Captain Ben will go down to make arrangements!" ”
"Nope! Waiting here below, I don't see the Qin army's grain, grass and ordnance, and I won't leave an inch below! ”
Looking at the aggressive Meng Xin, Taiwei Huan Wen couldn't help scolding angrily in his heart, while suppressing his anger, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Please also ask General Meng to wait here, this Taiwei will go down to arrange, this will be fine!" ”
Saying that, Taiwei Huan Wen got up and walked out of the study, turned around and returned to the place where everyone was discussing just now! As soon as he entered the house, Taiwei Huan Wen pointed at his eldest son Huan Xi and scolded angrily: "Rebel son, let me ask you, why is there no trace of the grain, grass and ordnance that should have arrived at the front line of Weishui three days ago?" ”
Seeing that his father was so angry, Huan Xi hurriedly got up and lowered his hand and replied, "Father, don't you want to borrow the hands of the Hu people to destroy the Qin army?" The children detained their grain, grass and ordnance, and the Qin army was invincible! ”
Hearing the words of the eldest son Huan Xi, Huan warmly blew his beard and glared, and scolded loudly: "Ignorant child, erect son!" For your father to ask you to withhold most of the grain and grass ordnance, and only transport 500,000 stone of grain and grass to the Qin army, do you really not understand the deep meaning of this? ”
Seeing that the eldest brother Huan Xi was scolded so badly by his father, the second son Huan Ji thought for a while and said: "Father, the combat strength of the Qin army is unparalleled in the world, if you send them food, grass and ordnance, how can my father use the hands of the Hu people to destroy the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Qin army?" ”
As soon as the second son Huan Ji said this, Tai Wei Huan almost vomited blood warmly, pointed at his two sons and scolded: "A pair of fools! I want to be a hero of Huan Wen, why did I give birth to you two stupid pigs? ”
"You don't want to think about it, how can the Qin army be the opponent of five or six hundred thousand Hu people without food, grass and ordnance? Once the Qin army is completely annihilated, hundreds of thousands of Hu people will inevitably march south! Do you really want to be your father and bow down to the chief of Hu, Fu Jian? ”
"It's true that we want to destroy the Qin army, but at the same time as destroying the Qin army, we must also destroy the Hu Dog of the Di tribe! Just destroy the Qin army, you can't destroy the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Hu people, and when Fu Jian raises troops to the south, who of you can defeat them? And who can slay them all down? ”
"Only by transporting a part of the grain, grass and ordnance to the Qin army, neither letting them starve to death, nor letting them have ten days of surplus food, let them go to fight with the Hu people and horses, fight to the death, and it is best to die together, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Don't you really understand such a simple truth? ”
After listening to their father Huan Wen's words, the two of them understood a little why their father let him detain most of the grain, grass and ordnance, and only transported 500,000 stone grain and grass to the Qin army.
The eldest son, Huan Xi, saw that he had done something bad with good intentions, so he hurriedly knelt in front of his father and kept kowtowing to ask for guilt!
Taiwei Huan Wen looked at the eldest son Huan Xi who was kneeling in front of him, and sighed and said, "Xi'er, it's good that you know your mistakes!" Na Mengxin is still waiting in the study, and my father really doesn't want to see his face anymore! You go to make amends to him, and then go with him to arrange for the grain, grass and ordnance of the Qin army to be shipped immediately! ”
"Father, is it only 500,000 stones? Or more than 1.3 million stones, all of which were transported to the front line of Weishui? ”
Seeing that the eldest son Huan Xi was so stupid, Taiwei Huan Wen stomped his feet and scolded: "Ignorant child, you are really angry with me!" All the grain, grass and ordnance were given to the Qin army, in case he wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Hu people, and with the army of great victory, 100,000 Qin army iron cavalry raised troops to the south, what should he do then? ”
"Or only 500,000 stones, as for the rest of the grain, grass and ordnance, if Mengxin asks, you will say that it is not easy for the people's carriages and horses to collect, so they can only be transported in batches and times, and they will be prevaricated first!"
After the eldest son Huan Xi left, Taiwei Huan Wen's face was unhappy, he looked at his old friend Liu Tan and Liu Jingdao, and sighed and said: "Brother Jingdao, Huan is also an immortal, who would have thought that I, an idiot, would be so stupid and stupid, it really hurts people!" ”
Hearing Huan Wen's words, Liu Tan and Liu Jingdao comforted: "Brother Yuanzi, the eldest son is still young, but he lacks some experience!" As long as it is a few years later, the eldest son will naturally be proficient in government affairs and become your right-hand man! ”
"I hope so!" Taiwei Huan Wen let out another long sigh! Although he and Liu Tan said so, in fact, both of them understood in their hearts that whether it was the eldest son Huan Xi or the second son Huan Ji, including the third son Huan Xin, the fourth son Huan Yi, and the fifth son Huan Wei, they were not very talented, and they were all mediocre! Only the youngest son Huan Xuan, although he is still young, his knowledge and courage are much higher than the five brothers, and he seems to be able to see a glimmer of hope!
It's just that Huan Xuan is too young, not to mention that he can't help himself at this time, he is really a little afraid, afraid that his young son Huan Xuan, who has high hopes, will be the same as other gate valve sons, when he is young, it may not be good! If this is the case, even if he wins the world of the Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that he will end up with no successor!
Seeing that the eldest brother Huan Wen was a little sad, the clan brother Huan Chong thought for a while and said: "Big brother, then Qin Feng is proud of the holy favor, and it is just arrogant and arrogant!" What is this faith? It's just a general of the Qin army, an old man, he dares to draw his sword in front of you, a little too ignorant! If this goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid that in this Jiankang City, I don't know how many people are going to on the head of the Taiwei Mansion! Is it tolerable or intolerable? The Qin army is in Jiankang City, and now there are only 1,000 female soldiers and 100 armor soldiers, big brother, as long as you give an order, I will send someone to destroy them! ”
As soon as Huan Chong's words fell, Taiwei Huan Wen sneered a few times: "Young son, why are you so anxious? It was believed that he couldn't go crazy for a few days! As long as the Qin army and the Hu soldiers and horses are defeated and wounded, whether it is Qin Feng on the front line of Weishui, as well as the 100,000 Qin army soldiers, or the Qin army in Jiankang City, including this old puppet Mengxin, they don't want to live, they will all become ghosts under the sword of you and me! ”
Speaking of this, Taiwei Huan Wen opened his mouth and asked: "Young son, have the soldiers and horses of the towns in Jiangzhou and Yangzhou been arranged?" ”
"Big brother, don't worry! The soldiers and horses of the towns of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou have been assembled and standby, as long as the eldest brother gives an order, the 100,000 army will enter Jiankang City in the starry night, and within half a day, the capital can be impeached! ”
Hearing Huan Chong's words, a smile finally appeared on Taiwei Huanwen's face, and then asked, "How are the preparations on the side of Jinwu in the capital?" Although their armaments are lax, they still have more than 30,000 horses, and if they resist desperately, they are afraid that something will happen! ”
Taiwei Huan Wen's voice did not fall, Huan Chong nodded when he heard it, and said in a deep voice: "Li Mi, the commander of Jinwu, is the confidant of the Queen Mother, and he can't be moved lightly for a while!" But don't worry, big brother, the deputy generals of the battalions under Li Mi, as well as the four guards, have already installed our people! ”
"As long as the 100,000 troops in Jiangzhou and Yangzhou are in the city, these people will be able to join forces inside and outside and do it at the same time! At that time, whether it is the Empress Dowager Chongde Chu Garlic, or today's son Sima Dan, as well as those gate valve families, they will all be under our control! ”
"Hmmm! That's it! Taiwei Huan Wen nodded when he heard this, and still said with some unease: "On the side of the gate lord family, you must closely monitor their every move, most of these people are now focused on the Qin army." Especially the Wang Xie family, they must be careful, don't let them smell anything, don't be careless for a while, so that the whole thing is ruined! ”
"yes, I see!" Saying that, Huan Chong got up and said goodbye, and went down to take care of all the affairs of the Taiwei Mansion!
As soon as Huan Chong left, only Taiwei Huan Wen and Liu Tan were left in this house. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Taiwei Huan Wen frowned and asked: "Brother Jingdao, your nephew Liu Gaozhi's side, in the past, every three days, there must be a letter delivered, but now that five days have passed, the military reports of the Beifu Army and the Qin Army have not been seen for a long time, I don't know why?" ”
"Brother Yuanzi, I also feel strange, I think Qin Feng just went, and he was afraid of being caught by him, and there was no big change in the battle ahead, so I didn't send a letter!"
Although Huan Wen has high hopes for Liu Gaozhi, he still doesn't believe in his loyalty! In Huan Wen's opinion, this Liu Gaozhi can betray the imperial court and turn to himself, so when he sees that the Qin army is strong, is it also possible that he betrays himself and turns to Qin Feng?
It's just that the Beifu Army, as the elite brigade of the Jin Dynasty, Taiwei Huan Wen has always been difficult to control, and now he has finally ambushed Liu Gaozhi, and in the Beifu Army, except for Liu Gaozhi at this time, others really can't count on it!
Although Taiwei Huan Wen was quite worried in his heart, since his old friend Liu Tan said so, he could only sigh: "I hope so!" ”
