Chapter 367: Hanging in the balance
Shendu, Lianghou Mansion.
Huan Wu sat on a thick suede cushion, his eyes closed, and the voices of the vassals of the Liang Hou Mansion were in his ears.
The Shu army was on the side of Koubian, and Jin Xin captured the eight cities of the Liang army to the south bank of Weishui. Subsequently, Qin Feng led more than 3,800 Xiliang iron cavalry to cross the Weishui, and the guerrilla attack was hundreds of miles, and no one could stop him.
Yang Ping led 50,000 Changce troops out of the Sanshui Pass, and the main force of the Shu army had arrived, but they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but looted the grain and grass in the land of Weinan.
At this moment, the situation in Yongzhou is critical, but fortunately, Cangqiu has not been lost, and the main force of the Liang army in Yongzhou still exists. In the Divine Capital, there are still more than 100,000 troops, and how can the men and horses that can be mobilized be able to make up 100,000.
Yongzhou is definitely going to be saved, but the question is who is the candidate for this unified army?
Whether it is Huan Qi or Huan Heng, or Huan Heng, they all want this position.
The Shu army is in danger, and the Liang State is in danger, who can get the position of commander, to a certain extent, who is the future heir of the Liang State.
For half an hour, the forces to which they belonged fought endlessly for the position of commander.
If it had been before, Huan Wu would have been impatient with such a quarrel. But now, he was surprisingly quiet, listening to the high-sounding reasons of all parties, and there was no wave in his heart.
"This time, I'll go!"
Huan Wu said this indifferently, and everyone present quieted down. Huan Wu's condition, the subordinates present all saw it, it was the alchemist of the Liang Hou Mansion who kept it secret, but Huan Wu's rapidly aging body, anyone could detect the abnormality.
At this moment, the position of the prince of the Liang Hou Mansion is undecided.
"My lord, you are contaminated with the wind and cold, and it is not suitable for a long march. Just Yang Xian, one of the generals in our army can be stopped. ”
Zhao Ye walked out of the queue and said euphemistically. Zhao Ye is not worried about whether Huan Wu can stop Yang Xian, in case Huan Wu has a chance on the march, then this god capital, I am afraid that it will be chaos immediately.
In Zhao Ye's view, the Shu army's Koubian is an external threat after all, as long as Cangqiu is not lost, then the Shu army will not be able to advance eastward. But the Shu army besieged Cangqiu but did not attack, undoubtedly wanting to attract reinforcements from Shendu to save it. This thousand-mile domain is running back and forth, consuming time and food, and Yang Xian clearly wants to consume the national strength of Liang State.
Hearing Zhao Ye's words, Huan Wu smiled.
"A little bit of wind chill, what can it do? I'm not old enough to lift a gun or sword. This time, Heng'er will go with me! ”
"Thank you, father!"
Huan Heng immediately knelt down, with a look of joy on his face. Unlike Huan Qi and Huan Heng, who were lost, Huan Heng was purely interested in marching and fighting and establishing military exploits, and wanted to compete with the world's strong army.
"Zhao Ye stays! Let's go down everyone! ”
As soon as Huan Wu said this, all the vassals of the Liang Hou Mansion and the three sons of Huan Wu retreated.
"I can hide my situation from others, but I can't hide it from you. When the first emperor died, the world was in turmoil, and all the princes raised troops to invade the divine capital, you have followed my side. You and I have been friends for thirty years, and I have a question for you. ”
The room was empty, and Huan Wu's voice sounded slowly, echoing in Zhao Ye's ears.
With Zhao Ye's wisdom, how could he not know what Huan Wu wanted to ask? Zhao Ye was silent, just waiting for Huan Wu to ask this question that was enough to affect the survival of Da Liang.
"Do you think Huan Qi and Huan Jue, who deserves the position of the son of this world?"
This is a fateful question, because no matter who Huan Wu asks, he may be tempting.
Zhao Ye arched his hand and said: "The lord actually already has the answer in his heart. ”
Huan Wu smiled, looking at this long-time old friend, and secretly said that this guy's slippery temperament has not changed for so many years, but has become deeper and deeper.
"Both of them are still tender! Just like this time, they only know about the struggle for power, but they completely forget about the risks. ”
"After all, there is General Huan Zhong in Yongzhou, he is old and serious, and he should be able to stabilize the situation. Even if the two sons are still inexperienced, and there is still Xu Jin in the Shendu City, why should the lord go to the dangerous place in person? ”
In Zhao Ye's words, there was a deep worry.
Huan Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "Because the person opposite is Yang Xian, this name alone is enough." ”
Huan Wu was very firm, and in his eyes, there seemed to be a raging flame.
"The situation in this world is changing. Thirty years ago, who would have thought that I, a small lieutenant, would be able to get to where I am today? When the gods were in turmoil, there were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses around you and me. In front of us were the mighty figures, and we could only hide in the back, watching them appear on the stage from afar. ”
The Weishui War, the princes rose together. A thousand miles of land, full of smoke. That was the last hustle and bustle of the Great Zhou Empire before it slipped into the abyss, and Huan Wu at that time was like a passerby.
Looking at the Fortress of the Peach Forest, 10,000 Tao Yang soldiers fought with the 3,000 Kui Wolf Camp for many days, the killing intent reflected the sky red, and the blood stained the earth. In the end, the arrogant Xu Shi had to admit defeat, lead the army back, and walk so heroically.
Before Xu Shi left, what he said in front of the small princes who followed him is still fresh in Huan Wu's memory.
"I thought that Yang Xiaode's name was from his father, but now I know that it is a big mistake. I beat him with 10,000 Tao Yang soldiers and 3,000 Kui wolf camps, and if I don't see a victory or defeat for many days, I have already lost. In this world, I will not fight with him. ”
Then, Huan Wu was still watching.
Watching Yang Zhong fight the Lu clan in Hedong, watching Yang Zhong defeat Duan Hui in Shangshui. Huan Wu saw how high-spirited these two heroes who dominated the world were at the beginning, and also saw how the hegemony behind them disappeared.
Watching the army of hundreds of thousands of princes intrigue and stop in front of that young figure.
"The Battle of Weishui! Ha, it's still exciting to think about. But now, Yang Zhong, Duan Hui, Lu Shi, and Chen Shi ....... Where have these figures gone? ”
When Huan Wu said this, his heart was excited, his chest rose and fell, and his voice was released.
"Where did he Yang You'an go?"
"Lord!"
Looking at Huan Wu like this, Zhao Ye whispered, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Huan Wu lowered his head, his eyes were full of blood, full of aggression, like a wolf.
"It is precisely because we have come step by step that we know that the girder in front of us is not easy to come by. At the beginning, we were based in Shendu, and none of the Lu family, Duan Hui, and Chen Shi took us seriously, and they fought endlessly for the Central Plains, but what happened in the end? Yang Xian is just like me at the beginning, as long as he is given a little space, he will not hesitate to tear a huge gap. ”
Huan Wu's tone slowed down and he took a breath.
"Huan Qi and Huan Jue are not Yang Xian's opponents. Time is here after all, and I won't give him any chance. ”
