Shendu, Lianghou Mansion.

In the backyard, Huan Youji was sitting on the ground, holding a whetstone, sharpening the tiger-headed knife he carried with him.

The leaves withered, and only a few remained on the tree. Huan Youji sat under the tree, his face solemn.

Every time he goes on an expedition, Huan Youji has to sharpen his saber to the light. This is one of the good habits he maintains.

It's the same this time. But what he has to face is Yang Xian!

When Yang Xian sneaked into the Shendu under the alias Wang Ren, Huan Youji met him a few times, and Huan Youji was not impressed by him at that time. But it was such a person who brought great shame to the Huan clan.

A shame that must be washed away with blood!

On the top of the golden palace, in front of the Manchu Dynasty, Yang Xian talked and laughed freely, ripped the dignity and glory of the Huan family to pieces little by little, and then threw it away, so casually.

Huan Youji didn't understand, what was the enmity of the Ninth World that the older generation of the Huan family often talked about? I just thought it was the old guy chattering.

But now, Huan Youji understands.

Huan Ying's figure walked over, looking so lonely. Huan Youji put down the big knife in his hand and shouted.

"Ying'er!"

Huan Ying didn't seem to be aware of it, Huan Youji shouted from behind again, and Huan Ying turned around with a somewhat haggard expression.

"Brother Ji, what's wrong?"

Huan Youji walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, his face gentle.

"Ying'er, I know that you and Yang Xian were very close at that time. But what should be put down is always put down. ”

Huan Ying smiled and nodded.

"I know. He humiliated me so much, humiliated the Huan family, I will have to get it back sooner or later. ”

Seeing that Huan Ying's face was much better, Huan Youji's heart couldn't relax.

"Ying'er, don't worry! Brother Youji will avenge you. This time my uncle was serious. At this time, General Zheng had already reached Baocheng Pass and fought several battles with the Shu army. Uncle Biao also led an army of 100,000 troops from Quegu, and I will also attack from Shiyang Road. ”

Huan Ying's heart suddenly twitched, I don't know if it was because I heard that her relatives were going to the battlefield, or because of the rain of swords and swords, who would be in danger.

Huan Youji saw Huan Ying's abnormality, and secretly said that her heart was still too soft.

"If it goes well, I will definitely bring Yang Xian to see you and ask him to kowtow to you to make amends."

Huan Ying's expression softened a lot, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Ji, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry! I'm going out of the city to lead the army, you have to take care of yourself. ”

Looking at Huan Youji's distant figure, the smile on Huan Ying's face gradually disappeared.

The world was snickering, and the Huan family made Yang Xian cut his face. His eldest brother Huan Jue has become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, and his father Huan Wu has lost face. The children of the entire Huan clan can't forget how invincible Yang Xian was in the Hanzhang Hall that day, and they all hope to save face from this battle of Shu.

The entire Huan clan was holding back their strength, but Huan Ying didn't feel this way, she didn't want to pay attention to these disturbances.

Huan Ying's heart was very conflicted, which was exactly what she once said.

I really want to use the blue water sword to stab many holes in Yang Xian's body!

Huan's, mourning hall.

This place where the spirits of the ancestors of the Huan clan are placed in the past dynasties has been only allowed by men in the past generations.

Huan Wu carried three sticks of incense and incense to the ancestors of the Huan family. And the four sons of Huan Wu are following behind.

There were only five people in this mourning hall, and Huan Wu finished the incense and slowly turned around.

"When the situation on the Modu side of the East China Sea is stable, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack Yizhou. Jue'er, this god and all your sons and sisters have been handed over to you. ”

"Is my father worried that Uncle Biao won't be able to deal with Yang Xian? But at this time, the number of troops we have invested in Shu has been nearly 200,000. The entire Shu Kingdom added up to nothing more than that. And we just want to take Zhounan County first! Judging from the information transmitted from the front, General Zheng has gained a firm foothold and has the upper hand! ”

Huan Jue said with some confusion.

Huan Wu smiled and looked at Huan Jue, but it was like looking at a child who didn't grow up.

"Yang Xian deliberately let Zheng Dajun march to Baocheng Pass and let him set up a camp. He just wants to take advantage of the topography of Shu to lengthen the grain route of our army and drag us down. ”

"Yang Xian wants to be beautiful, and the financial resources of our army are not comparable to him. If it is really dragged up, it is not certain who will die and who will die. ”

Huan Qi looked disdainful, and then spoke. He was telling the truth, but he didn't see the slightest sense of relief on Huan Wu's face.

Huan Wu just nodded slightly, looked at Huan Heng, and said, "Heng'er, you have grown up." This time you are by my side, leading the army alone. ”

Huan Heng just wanted to receive the order, and his face was still a little happy, but Huan Heng snatched the talk.

"Father, let me go this time!"

Huan Jue's younger brothers' faces have changed, in the past, Huan Wu went out to fight, and Huan Jue stayed in the divine capital.

Huan Jue's expression was very determined, everyone knew what he wanted to do? When Huan Wu looked at Huan Jue, his eyes became a little more gentle.

Huan Qi saw it in his eyes, but he was not angry in his heart. His father did not treat him coldly, but he did not treat his other brothers with the same earnestness.

"Jue'er, I know you're vengeful, but ......."

"Father!"

Before Huan Wu could finish speaking, Huan Jue interrupted him. In the impression of Huan Qi and others, this is the first time that Huan Jue has done this.

"This time I went not only to avenge my personal revenge, nor for Jing Bei'er. But I know that if this defeat fails. Then the battle situation formed between Liang and Shu in the past will no longer exist. Our army will lose its offensive against Shu and turn to the defensive. We will spend a lot of money and energy to build a defensive line on the Yongyi border, waiting for the day when Yang Xian will go north out of the Central Plains. This is absolutely not allowed, and the invincible fighting spirit formed by our army in the world must not be destroyed in Yang Xian's hands. ”

Huan Wu smiled and said, "Jue'er, it's good that you can see Yang Xian's intentions. Before this war began, everything was in Yang Xian's calculations. He wanted to lead the elite of our army into Shu and annihilate it in one fell swoop. But he forgot one thing, as soon as the war began, no one could predict its direction. In a way, it's a gamble. ”

In Huan Wu's words, there was a faint sadness. Judging from the deployment of the Shu army on the front line, Yang Xian has exhausted his elite this time, and Huan Wu is the same. Between the two armies, it is difficult to get good.

"Yang Xian and I are both gamblers, and we are both betting that the other party will lose. If he loses, then Shu will lose half of its mountains and rivers, and it will be even more difficult to turn over from now on. If I lose, then the glory of my Liang army will no longer exist. Our Daliang will still be the strongest force in the world in the future, but we will also lose the ability to unify the world. Until the last moment, neither Yang Xian nor I could predict the victory or defeat. That's why I don't want you to go. ”

"Father, I must go!"

Huan Jue looked at Huan Wu's eyes, extremely determined. Since he was a child, Huan Wu has never seen Huan Jue like this. Huan Wu knew that Huan Jue could not sit in the rear and watch the success or failure of the two armies.

"In this way, then let's go into battle together and capture Yang Xian."
