Xie Xuan and Xie Yan have had a deep relationship since childhood, and this time they led the troops separately, on the one hand, because of Xie An's dispatch, and on the other hand, because the entire Jin court was frightened by Fu Jian's 800,000 soldiers and horses, and they all felt that this was a battle that would be lost, who would be willing to volunteer to go into battle? Only Prime Minister Xie An, even if he knew that he only had Xie Yan's son, he ordered him to lead the troops without hesitation to fight this battle that seemed impossible for others to survive.

At this time, Xie Xuan's account still had Fu Jian's envoys, and Zhu Xu, who was the general of Xiangyang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was captured alive by Fu Jian, and had to surrender to the Qin army, but he cherished the old master and refused to die for Fu Jian. This time, Fu Jian sent him to the Jin army camp to persuade him to surrender, which was exactly what he wanted, and he would be telling Xie Xuan about the situation of the Qin army in detail.

Xie Xuan was naturally guarded by his own soldiers outside the tent, and when he saw that the general's younger brother Xie Yan was coming, he hurriedly saluted him and did not dare to stop him.

After Xie Yan entered the tent, before he could speak, Xie Xuan said: "Yudu, come and listen, General Zhu is talking about the situation in the Qin army." ”

This is really a coincidence, someone will send a pillow when you are sleepy, Xie Yan smiled at Zhu Xu, and stood aside to listen to him gesture excitedly.

Zhu Xu said: "Although the Qin army is known as a million people, but there are 600,000 of them are surrendered troops, all of them are Han people, and they are not willing to die for Hu Lu, I have already contacted them, as long as the time comes, a few of our generals will take everyone to disperse, and never kill each other with the former brothers." ”

Xie Xuan was happy in his heart, but like Xie An, he had cultivated a temperament that was invisible, he just said to Zhu Xu lightly: "If this is the case, I should thank you for the people of Jiangdong, if the general can take advantage of the situation and return to the Jin court, it will be a real blessing, I will definitely ask for credit for the general, and I will never disappoint the general's sincerity." ”

That's right, this is what Zhu Xu wants to hear the most, Xie Yan couldn't help nodding secretly, his brother is really knowledgeable and understanding.

Sure enough, Zhu Xu's face was even more smiling, and he couldn't wait to tell everything he knew, he thought about it and said: "At present, the strength of the Qin army has not been fully assembled, which is also one of the reasons why Fu Jian is not in a hurry to send troops, he can't imagine that we dare to fight first, if we take it by surprise and launch an attack quickly, as long as we defeat his forward troops and frustrate their spirit, it will be very beneficial to the war." ”

Before the people defected to the Jin Court, they shouted "we" and "we", Xie Xuan really felt that his words were very sincere and feasible, so he asked Xie Yan: "What do you think?" ”

Xie Yan replied seriously: "General Zhu has lived in the Qin army for a long time, and he must have a deep understanding of the Qin army, and this plan is very valuable, but this use of troops is not expensive, and it is not suitable to send a large army, in case of defeat, it will affect the hearts of the army." Only by sending three or five thousand elite soldiers to attack, and advancing and retreating smartly, can we obtain the greatest benefits. ”

Xie Xuan nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Xie Yan talked about his intention again, and said to Xie Xuan: "My adviser proposed a tactic for me, that is, to pretend to fight resolutely with Fu, while sending someone to consult with him, asking him to withdraw the army a little, so that the Jin army has a place to cross the river for a decisive battle, while taking advantage of Fu Jian's retreat, he was defeated behind the battle, shouting the news of the defeat of the Qin army, so that the army's morale was disheartened, and then from the front, the battle can be decided, isn't it happy." ”

Xie Xuan was a little absorbed when he heard this, and said in a daze: "This plan is wonderful, with Fu Jian's stubborn personality, he will definitely be fooled." ”

Zhu Xu also immediately volunteered: "I don't dare to say it, this is a matter of deception behind the scenes, it should be wrapped up in me, there are not a few Han generals in the military center of the Jin court, and I am friendly with the generals, and I will not disappoint the two generals at that time." ”

Xie Xuan reminded him: "This matter is very important, if you are not a person who trusts you very much, it is better not to let too many people know." ”

Zhu Xu replied cautiously: "The last general will take care of it." ”

Xie Yan said with a smile: "If this plan can be successful, the general will be the first merit." ”

Zhu Xu was so excited by him that his face turned red with excitement, and he patted his chest at the moment and promised that he would definitely do it.

In September of the eighth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, it was the season when ordinary people had to prepare for the autumn harvest, and the number of Fu Jian's army was more than ten times that of the Jin court, so the complaints and grain and grass consumption in his army were also more than ten times that of the Jin court, and the number of deserters was increasing every day.

At this most irritating time, the champion general Xie Xuan sent his subordinate general Liu Jiaozhi to lead 5,000 men to attack Luojian, and actually defeated 50,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Fu Jian under the command of Liang Cheng, and killed the main general Liang Cheng and his younger brother Liang Yun, captured Liang He, Wang Xian, Liang Yi, Murong Qu and other senior generals alive, and took away a large amount of military supplies.

Fu Jian was furious after receiving the news, and personally raised 100,000 soldiers and horses to chase after him, but Liu Jiaozhi had already received Xie Xuan's order, and immediately retreated under the first battle, and led the cavalry back to Jiangdong early, so angry that Fu Jian jumped to his feet.

After Xie Yan left the tent that day, the slave sneaked in and said excitedly to Hagi Niang: "Sister Hagi, I went to fight and won!" ”

What the? Just you little brat?

Hagi Niang was speechless and asked, "The day before yesterday, General Liu Gaozhi went to war, should you be walking with his army?" ”

Jinu smiled: "Naturally, yes, I went with Brother Liu and Brother Sun." ”

Hagi gave him a blank look and asked, "Oh? So you went into battle to kill the enemy yourself? ”

Jinu was speechless for a moment, and bowed his head embarrassedly and said: "Brother Liu said that I was too young, let me ride with him, so I couldn't kill the enemy's ......."

Fortunately, you, Brother Liu, are still thoughtful, otherwise with your little doll, who can you win? Hagi Niang is even more helpless.

She patiently persuaded her: "It is indeed true that a man should serve the country, but you also have to consider your actual ability, at least you have to learn some martial arts first, now you are small and have little strength, I am afraid that you will not even be able to wield a saber." ”

Jinu's face suddenly turned red, obviously he was right, and he said stiffly: "Brother Liu said, it's not in the way to be with him......"

Hagi Niang sighed: "The strength of the Qin army is ten times that of our army, you are certainly victorious in this battle, one is because of surprise, and the other is also because most of the Qin army are Han Chinese, so they can be like a bamboo, don't think how powerful our army is, how invincible your brother Liu is, that is really self-deception." ”

Jinu nodded and said, "Brother Liu also said so, he also said that he would teach me martial arts, Sister Hagi, don't worry, I won't mess around." ”

Hagi Niang smiled at him gently, not because she really believed what Jinu said, "I won't mess around", but because I felt that his so-called "Brother Liu" sounded like a proper person, and he should not let Jinu, a child who doesn't know the height of the sky, do anything wrong.

As long as it is a man, it is inevitable that his blood will boil in the face of enemies, even if it is a child like a slave.

In October of the eighth year of Taiyuan Dynasty, Xie Xuan sent an envoy to Fu Jian to pretend that he wanted to take the initiative to cross the river for a battle, and asked the Qin army garrison to retreat a little. Who expected that when the Qin army retreated, Zhu Xu, the general of the rear team of the Qin army, ordered the soldiers to shout the news of the defeat of the Qin army, which caused the Qin army to collapse and flee wildly.

The Jin army won a great victory, Xie Xuan led 6,000 cavalry to pursue until the Yellow River before turning back, and the captured booty included Fu Jian's mica car, as well as his ceremonial clothes, armaments, weapons, treasures piled up, and even brought back more than 100,000 cows, horses, donkeys, mules, camels, etc., which was simply a full load.

Seriously, no one in the Manchu Dynasty expected that this battle would go so smoothly!

It is said that when the prime minister Xie An was playing chess with the guests for fun when he learned the news, he actually remained silent and insisted on finishing the chess game. Even the guests said goodbye after learning the good news, and wanted to go home to announce the good news first, but Xie An was always very indifferent, and did not look excited.

Naturally, there was a lot of celebration in the army, and everyone was elated to be able to go home and reunite with their families soon.

At the same time, Hagi Niang asked Xie Yan to leave.

Xie Yan frowned: "This is what you asked me for?" Do you know what it means for Chen Jun Xie to make a promise, I can promise you the glory and wealth of your life, and even bringing your family and your father is just a small thing. Zang's Hagi Niang, I thought you were a little clever. ”

Hagi Niang felt that her unreliable father must be sneezing.

"I'd rather be a wife from a poor family than a concubine from a high family. Hagi Niang doesn't want to be greedy for the general's wealth and... Beauty, the pleasure of these things outside the body is short-lived, and what you get after the years are no longer is endless misery. Hagi Niang only wants to ask for a heart and wish me peace of mind for a lifetime. ”

"How do you know I won't marry you?"

"The little girl knows that her identity is different...... And the general's answer that day, the slave thought that he had fully understood the general's meaning. ”

This cunning woman! Although Xie Yan was accustomed to being faceless, it was difficult to suppress his anger at this time, but he did not lose his demeanor.

After a stalemate, Xie Yan called out: "Mo'er." “

Mo'er lifted the curtain and entered the tent, followed by Liu Jinu's child who was probing his brain.

Xie Yan said solemnly: "This person has peeped into the main account of the Chinese army many times, and has gone around to explore the army's defenses, and the general is planning to behead him to show the public, so as to set the record straight." ”

Hagi Niang's small mouth opened into an O-shape.

Is this a threat to yourself? Isn't Xie Yan a gentleman, why is he so faceless and skinless?

No, he's not that kind of person.

Hagi Niang's expression remained unchanged, and she said leisurely with Xie Yan's indifferent look: "The affairs of the army are all decided by the general, and the slave never dares to put his beak in it." ”

Xie Yan laughed angrily, and habitually stroked the string of sandalwood beads on his hand, and the jade wrist and the black rosary reflected each other, looking extremely gorgeous.

At that time, people respected Buddhism, were keen on Taoism, and loved to talk about it, especially the children of the scholars believed in Buddhism.

Mo'er took away the slave, Hagi Niang didn't know if she guessed right, and she didn't know if she answered him or not, so she hesitated.

Xie Yan called her to approach him and hugged her tightly again.

"You're still a child." He said gently, not particularly emotionally. Neither reproach nor pity.

Removing the beads from her hand, Xie Yan held her right hand and solemnly put on her beloved Buddhist beads.

"I still promise you. When you think about what you want, you can come to me with this string. ”

He held her hand affectionately, and couldn't bear to let go, his eyes burning as if he could melt her...... Her eyes were darkened, and all her insistence seemed meaningless.

She was worried that he would refuse, that he would break his promise, and that he would really respect her choice, but when he really decided to let her go, she was confused.

How she loved him!

Hagi Niang's tears were a little unbearable, such an excellent gentleman, why did she insist on refusing to submit, just for her ridiculous self-esteem and pride?

Only people with low self-esteem are particularly attached to their so-called self-esteem.

His identity dictates that he can only accept himself as a concubine, which is not what he wants.

She was tormented in her heart repeatedly, and she just wanted to say loudly that she was willing to stay if she didn't leave, even if it was just to be a concubine by his side.

Life in the world is like a gap, and an ordinary life may not be able to withstand this moment's happiness, if she is willing to stay, they will all be happy.

Why can't you be willful and indulge yourself.

How happy she would have been if she had leaned on his chest like this, and fell into his arms!

Xie Yan looked at her struggling eyes expectantly, but in the end she let go of his hand.

The carriage of the Xie family sent Haginiang back to Zang Mansion as promised.

Hearing that Mo'er, the personal guard of the auxiliary general, was asking to see Xie Yan, Zang Jun almost didn't jump up, and he really greeted him.

It's a pity that Xie Yan didn't mention the matter of taking it, but he respected the Zang family Haginiang very much in his words, expressed his gratitude to Hagi Niang for his advice in the army, and attached a pair of gold fifty taels of pearls as a thank you gift.

What does Haginiang's sister-in-law know about military intelligence? How can you explain to others after so many days in the army? Zang Jun suddenly felt a headache and couldn't question the Xie family.

Mo'er observed the words and said, "The general just invited the princess of your mansion to be the companion of Mrs. Tai in the Xie family, and the adults don't need to worry. “

This means that no one knows that his daughter is in the army, Zang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile: "Thank you for the general's care, the lower officials can't repay it." He ordered someone to invite the Zheng family to come over to entertain Mo'er for tea, and the Zheng family prepared a gift list in return for Mo'er to take back to Xie's house.

After Mo'er left, Zang Jun closed the door and discussed the matter with the Zheng family, and the two agreed that whether it was for the sake of family interests or for the sake of their daughter's face, they must suppress the matter to avoid people talking about it, and the family house would inevitably have tongue worries.

And Xie Yan's intentions were unclear, and he didn't say that he wanted to accept Haginiang, nor did he clearly say no, and also made Zang Jun decide not to give Haginiang another marriage in the near future, at least until Xie Yan forgot Haginiang.

From this point of view, Hagi Niang is safe for the time being.
