Chapter Twenty-Eight: Wang Gongmei Married a Virtuous Wife, Huan Jie, and was ordered to go down to the Son of Heaven
Nai smiled bitterly and said: "Is the minister a reckless person, trapped in His Majesty and danger? It's just that the minister can't bear His Majesty's suffering, and wants to go to the army to get military rations to serve His Majesty, and do his duty as a minister. After hearing this, Fang Rang let go of Huan Steps, and said, "In this case, please go back quickly." Only then did Huan Jiejie get ordered to leave the house.
Huan stepped out of the house to wait for Shi Jin, and when he waited for a short time, Huan stepped out of Li Dao's big tent, and someone led him to the residence of the Son of Heaven. Huan stepped into the house to see the Son of Heaven, and Zhenyi bowed three times. After the ceremony, the Son of Heaven asked Huan Jie, "Who is Qing?" Where did it come from? Huan Jie replied respectfully: "Xiao Chen Huan Rank, cursive Boxu." Now he lives under the account of the barbarian general Wang Hao, and is appointed to a position. Now from Jingzhou Lingling, Wen Tianzi lives in Yiwu, and he came to see him. ”
The Son of Heaven saw that Huan Jie's answer was reasonable, and ordered someone to give him a seat, and asked, "I don't know why Wang Qing sent Qing to come?" Huan Jie replied: "In the autumn of the second year of the first peace, Wuxi in Wuling County was in turmoil, and Wang Qiuman was ordered to quell the chaos, which lasted four years and was chaotic. Wang Qiuman also heard that the local people in Jiaozhou were in turmoil, and killed Zhu Fu, the assassin of Jiaozhou, and specially invited His Majesty to ask for the pastor of Jiaozhou, and wanted to lead the army to level the rebellion of the local people in Jiaozhou. When the Son of Heaven heard this, he praised his head: "The king is a loyal and patriotic person, and at this time of national crisis, can he stand up and take on his own heavy responsibilities, how can I not allow it?" ”
Huan Jie's eyes saw that the Son of Heaven agreed to the king's request, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he boldly raised his eyes and peeked at the residence of the Son of Heaven. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look startled Huan Jie. But seeing that the residence of the Son of Heaven is simple and ugly, the left and right attendants of the Son of Heaven are all hungry, and even the Son of Heaven is also full of vegetables. Huan Jie was shocked and hurriedly said: "The minister is brave, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." Your Majesty is the Venerable of All Vehicles, why is there a dish on your face? ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he bowed his head and said nothing, tears filled the sleeves of his robe. Seeing this, Yang Qi said angrily: "Li Wei is a traitor, not a son of man, and committed a crime for no reason." so that people are cut off from internal envoys, and they do not continue to eat and drink. His Majesty couldn't bear it, so he asked Li Dao to take five rice and five ox bones. Li Dao actually served His Majesty with rotten flesh and rotten grain. After that, Yang Qi sighed again and again.
Huan Jie was shocked, and he didn't want Li Dao to be so arrogant, so he hurriedly said: "Li Dao's name is Hanchen, and he is really a heinous thief. Please forgive your majesty for being unreasonable, and the minister will come when he goes. With that, Huan Jie wanted to turn around and leave the house.
The Son of Heaven was shocked when he saw this, thinking that Huan Jie's desire to kill Li Dao, but he was afraid that he would be burdened by Huan Jie, so he hurriedly said, "Where do you want to go?" Don't act recklessly, but mistake Qing's life, isn't it my fault? "Say that, and show your eyes to the left and right. Yang Qi understood, hugged Huan Jie left and right, and did not let him go.
Huanjie couldn't struggle, so he had to lead the army without history to relieve food. Huan Jie's previous story was recorded in Shi Jin, and then he said: "Now I want to get a hundred stones of grain and a few sheep for Your Majesty." I don't know what General Wenden thinks. When Shi Jin heard this, there was no reason to disappoint him, so he took 100 stones of grain and a few sheep, and ordered the sergeant to take it, and then go to meet the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven had to Huan Jie to offer food and meat, and he was particularly pleased, and said Huan Jie: "Qingguo is a loyal and righteous man, but it's a pity that I am in the hands of thieves and can't do it myself," Huan Jie hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty don't worry, only blame the ministers for their incompetence, Jingnan is thousands of miles away from here, and the army is inconvenient to come and go, otherwise, the ministers will ask the king to raise a large army to kill the two thieves." After speaking, the Son of Heaven was very pleased and wanted to stay and eat together. Yang Qi persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Li Dao is brutal and suspicious by nature, if Your Majesty stays in Huan Boxu for a long time, he will be suspicious." The Son of Heaven listened to Yang Qi's words, and let Huan Jie's leave.
Huan Jie left the Son of Heaven, returned to Shi into the camp, only to ask the king to reward him, and then returned to Jingnan. Early the next morning, Huan Jie was waiting for the decree in the camp, and Li Xian, the nephew of Li Dao, arrived with the decree. As soon as Huan Jiejie received the edict, he heard the sound of golden drums outside the camp. Huan Jie's heart was suspicious, and he saw Li Xian with a sly smile: "I think it's Guo Yan, a thief, who came to fight, I don't know if you dare to go to the front of the battle with me?" Hearing this, Huan Jie: "The young general is invited, how can the rank not be allowed?" It just so happened that the order also intended to go to see what kind of person this anti-country thief was. After that, he and Shi Jin went out of the camp with Li Xian.
Huan Jie and Shi Jin came out of the camp with Li Xian, and saw Guo Yan galloping in front of the battle. Here Li Dao was about to go out to fight, and when he saw Li Xian with Huanjie and Shi Jin, he stopped his horse and said to Huanjie: "Mr. Huan, I heard that your lord once defeated Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and I think that there must be something extraordinary about the generals under his account." Huan Jie replied with a smile: "Da Sima has won the award, my lord's previous victory over Liu Jingzhou was just a fluke, how can it be compared to the Xiliang soldiers and horses under Da Sima, who are fierce and good at fighting, and the soldiers are strong and strong." After hearing this, Li Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is natural, but a certain family also wants to see the skills of General Jingnan." ”
When Shi Jin heard Li Dao's words, he came out and said: "Da Sima has this Yaxing, how can he not follow it?" With that, he wanted to get on the horse and go into battle. At this moment, Shi Jin felt that someone was pulling his robe belt behind him. Looking back, he saw Huan Jie signaling himself with his eyes. It was clear in his heart that Huan Jie was hiding himself, so he nodded to show that he understood. Seeing Shi Jin nodding, Huan Jie knew that he had understood his mind, so he let go of Shi Jin's robe.
Shi Jin got on the horse and went out of battle. Guo Yan saw a general flying out of the opposite formation, wearing rotten silver chain armor, wearing a rotten silver tiger helmet, wearing a plain white Shu brocade robe, a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, and a charcoal horse in his crotch, which was really majestic. Guo Yan couldn't help but shout: "Who is coming? Pass through your name. ”
Shi Jin responded: "A certain is Shi Wendeng in Jingzhou, and Guo Yan's thief is not killed quickly." Guo Yan was furious when he heard this, and danced the knife to slap the horse to get Shi Jin. Shi Jin met here, and the two of them fought together. Although Shi Jin intends to hide his clumsiness, this Guo Yan is a fierce general in the Xiliang Army, a general under Dong Zhuo, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he be an easy person? But seeing that the two of them raised their swords at the same time, the two horses galloped together, and they were mixed together. The sergeants on both sides were dizzy and shouted in unison.
The two listened to the shouts and cheers of the sergeants on both sides, and they became more and more courageous and hardworking. The two fought for about 80 battles, and there was no winner or loser. In this side of the formation, Li Wei saw that the two of them were not divided between victory and defeat, and they could not hold it back, so he ordered the sergeant to wave the flag and beat the drum, and the whole army advanced. Here, Guo Yan's army saw that Li Wei's whole army was coming, and the army also came forward to catch it. The two armies fought as a group, and Shi Jin saw that the army was engaged, and he did not entangle Guo Yan, so he jumped away from his horse and returned to Huanjie's side.
The two armies fought until dusk, and each side withdrew its troops. When Li Dao returned to the camp, Huan Jielai said goodbye: "Your Excellency Da Sima, I have obtained His Majesty's decree, so I will resign from Da Sima and return to Jingzhou." Li Dao said: "Why don't Mr. Huan stay here for a few more days?" Huan Jiedao: "Thank you Da Sima for your love, it's just that the rank is on the line, and I don't dare to stay for a long time, so I can only say goodbye." Li Dao saw that Huan Jie's intention was very strong, so he did not want to stay.
Huan Jie's resignation from Li Dao came to bid farewell to the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven saw that Huan Jie wanted to go, he held Huan Tier's hand and kept it again and again. Huan Jie was helpless, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the minister only hates that he is weak and powerless, and he can't kill the thief, seeing that His Majesty is in the hands of a thief, and he can't save it." This time he turned back to Jingnan, and when he saw Wang Pingnan, he persuaded General Wang to reorganize his armaments. Once the rebellion of the Turen in Jiaozhou subsides, a large army will be raised to sweep away all difficulties and come to the rescue of King Qinqin in Guanzhong. The Son of Heaven heard Huan Jie's words, so he let Huan Jie's go.
Huan stepped back to Shi Jin's camp, and after discussing with Shi Jin, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he left the camp overnight. Sergeant Li Dao received Li Dao's military order, and did not stop him, and let him go.
However, he said that Guo Yan collected his troops and returned to the camp, and saw that there was a general in Li Wei's army who was comparable to him. Suspicious, he ordered the sergeant to go to Li Dao's camp to investigate. The sergeants under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan are all Dong Zhuoxiliang's old department, and they usually collude with each other in private. The sergeant looked at Li Dao's camp to investigate, and after a short time, he knew that the history was in detail, and reported it to Guo Yan.
When the sergeant saw Guo Yan, he reported: "Back to the general, the villain has now found out that the name of the general is Shi Jinzi Wendeng, and he is a general under the good account of King Jingnan. When Guo Yan heard the report, he said curiously: "Since you said that this Shi Jin is a general under the good account of King Jingnan, how did he appear in Guanzhong?" The sergeant replied: "The previous Jiaozhou assassin Shi Zhu Fu was killed because of the rebellion of the Jiaozhou natives. Wang Hao wanted to ask for the post of pastor of Jiaozhou, and the envoy was engaged in the Huan rank as an envoy, and sent 10,000 stone of military rations to Li Dao to ask for this position. Because of the bandits along the road, the special general Shi Jin led a thousand soldiers and horses to escort him. ”
Guo Yan was furious when he heard this, and secretly hated Wang Hao for sending grain to Li Dao, and said: "He is Wang Hao's general, how can he help Li Dao go into battle?" The sergeant understood the mystery and replied indiscriminately: "I heard that Li Dao has granted Wang Haoping the posts of General Pingnan, Marquis of Shi'an Ting, and Pastor of Jiaozhou. Therefore, I guess that Xu is Huanjie is to repay Li Wei's kindness, so Shi Jin and the general are opposed. Guo Yan said angrily: "Wang Haofu deceives people too much. Where is this history? The first sentence of Guo Yan's words was to scold Wang Hao, but the latter sentence was to ask the sergeant Shi Jin if he wanted to serve Li Wei for a long time.
The sergeant replied: "When the villain arrived in Li Dao's army, this Jingnan army had already resigned from Li Dao and turned back to Jingnan. After hearing this, Guo Yan hurriedly went out of the tent to order hundreds of horsemen and horses, wanting to chase after him, and ordered the deputy general to guard the camp. After the order was completed, Guo Yan led hundreds of horsemen and went out of the camp to chase Shi Jin in the south.
Let's say that Shi Jin guarded the Huan steps, hurried in the starry night, and traveled to the middle of the night, just in the middle of the night, just in Chang'an realm. Shi Jin was waiting for the sergeant to rest for a while, and then hurried away, when he felt a slight vibration on the ground. Shi Jin hurriedly ordered the sergeant to lie on the ground and listen, and after listening for a while, the sergeant said: "General, more than ten miles behind our army, there are about hundreds of horsemen rushing here. ”
Shi Jin listened to it and hurriedly ordered the sergeants to line up and wait. Not long after, Shi Jin saw Guo Yan leading hundreds of horsemen to come. Guo Yan saw that Shi Jin had already prepared, so he stopped his horse an arrow away, and shouted: "Oh, Wu Na Jingnan thief general, I am a good husband with Wang, I have no grudges, how dare you use grain and grass to help him make me an enemy?" When Shi Jin saw Guo Yan insulting Wang Hao, he was immediately furious and slapped his horse to get Guo Yan.
Guo Yan saw Shi Jin's horse arrive, and raised his knife to greet him. Shi Jin was annoyed that he insulted Wang Hao, and it only took eight points of strength to fight with Guo Yan during the day, and then he used twelve points of strength. The two fought for about fifty times, and Guo Yan was defeated by Shi Jin, so he turned his horse and left. Shi Jin waved his army to drive out of Lixu, but because he was afraid that Guo Yan would be ambushed, he collected his troops and turned back. Huanjie saw that Guo Yan had retreated, so he urged Shi Jin to hurry, and Shi Jin was also afraid that Guo Yan would send a large army to catch up, so he ordered the sergeant to step up and look at Jingnan to rush.
