sweeping the world

Chapter 264

"Huan Wen really has a talent, and he lives up to your majesty's respect."

Liu Yan just smiled when he heard so much about Ji Chang, it wasn't because he valued Huan Wen that he showed his general talent, it was because Huan Wen himself was so good that he was valued by him.

However, those were all secondary matters. The more important thing was that Huan Wen led the [-] cavalry to stir up the tide of the battle, especially when a man named Wang Ji was defeated by Huan Wen, which caused shocks in Pengcheng.

"Huan Wen asked for orders to continue to lead the army in the guerrilla attack in Pengcheng County."

"Good sign, isn't it?"

Liu Yan likes words like "Huan Wen begging for life", which means that he has surrendered.The surrender of talent is a good thing for Liu Yan, especially since Yuan Qiao is already on his way back to the main camp.

"Wang Luan should be in a hurry now." Sang Yugang read the battle report and said with a smile: "Huan Wen defeated four troops in a row with only [-] cavalry troops. What will the Xuzhou Army think?"

"Huan Wen just gave Wang Luan a deeper impression. We will gain an advantage in any local battlefield." Ji Chang smiled at Sang Yu, then looked at Liu Yan and said, "Huan Wen has achieved amazing results, but the loss is also slightly greater. The post does not agree with giving him the right to recruit surrendered troops on the spot, he has no such qualifications."

All four battles were victorious. Although it was not the case that the few outnumbered the crowd four times, two of them were almost unscathed, and the latter two showed the fierce aggression that cavalry should have.

After four attacks, it is hard to say how many results Huan Wen achieved, but his own strength was reduced from [-] to [-].

Huan Wen wrote the battle report first, and then asked to accept the surrendered soldiers, which was in line with the political system of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but not the Han Dynasty.

"Let Huan Wen bring the troops back." What Liu Yan wanted was not only submission, but also obedience.

It was Yuan Qiao who returned to the main camp first, and then Huan Wen appeared on the third day.

During this period of time, the confrontation between the main forces of the two armies showed signs of ending, especially when Huan Wen returned with the remaining [-] Han troops and nearly [-] surrendered troops, Wang Luan finally made a big move.

Fortunately, no matter what the Han army does, it will prepare a plan, and how to respond according to the plan deployment, so that Wang Luan dispatched [-] cavalry to intercept Huan Wen's troops, and the Han army also sent [-] cavalry from the barracks to chase go up.

"They are all talented people!" Liu Yan did not lower his voice, and his eyes were of course observing the situation. It was Huan Wen's troops who appeared in the distance and the Ten Thousand Shijie Zhao Army who had just left the camp for a long time.He said, "Uncle Yan, would you like to join the army for me?"

In ancient times, there was a special kind of car called a nest car, which was a kind of car with a watchtower for climbing to observe the enemy's situation.

There are not many people who can go to the nest car with Liu Yan to observe, and they are all important figures in the Han Dynasty. When Yuan Qiao was invited to board the nest car together, he was already prepared enough in his heart, but when he heard it, his expression was a little bit stiff.

Who is Yuan Qiao?He is the great-great-grandson of Yuan Huan, a doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the son of Yuan Gui, the son of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.In the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was still the Marquis of Changhe Township. He once refused to serve as Situ Zuoxi (ninth-rank official), but now he is assisting Huan Wen as a public official (seventh-rank official).

The official positions of the Han Dynasty do not seem to be compiled, that is to say, what kind of official positions are of different grades, but instead imitate the ancient system of Sangong Jiuqing.

It is so weird that there is no limit. If you say that the Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong in the Han Dynasty were the three princes, they can be regarded as extremely prominent. Then until now, the Taiwei still retains its due dignified status, but the status of Situ and Sikong has declined. Some powerful.Needless to say, those of the Jiuqing, they were qualified as the center before, but during the Jin Dynasty, they could set up their own Jiuqing (with different names).What's even more exaggerated is that the status of the generals, generals of Hussars, and generals of chariots has declined infinitely, almost becoming honorary titles, even Sizheng, Sizhen, and Siyi Generals are somewhat inferior.

It is completely possible for the Han Dynasty to imitate the ancient system, but if the Han Dynasty establishes a country, the civil position may not matter much, but it is still the top three military generals, the general, the general of the hussars, and the general of the chariot. The generals may be in the top three in the Han Dynasty or the Han Kingdom, but... other countries are full of generals, hussars, and chariots. How embarrassing is that?

"Joining the army is... what grade of officer?" Yuan Qiao had to ask, because it is better to understand some things beforehand than to be ignorant.

Liu Yan was silent.

"The Han Dynasty did not establish a country." Sang Yu said in a relaxed tone: "It is the time when talented people receive meritorious service and wait for glory."

"We have twentieth-class nobles." Ji Chang has always been expressionless towards people other than Liu Yan, and he will not have any emotional fluctuations when he speaks: "The title will be the foundation of 'our country'. What system to use is yet to be agreed.”

They're talking about things that have nothing to do with the war here... at least something that has nothing to do with this war, and the confrontation outside is about to begin.

Huan Wen came back with more than 2000 surrendered soldiers. What is more incomprehensible is that those surrendered soldiers were not bound. Apart from not wearing Han army uniforms, the surrendered soldiers rode war horses and had weapons.

The process of the last battle was more complicated. Huan Wen defeated Wang Ji, but Wang Ji left unscathed. Before leaving, he gave Huan Wen a suggestion. That suggestion was to collect the surrender troops. Those surrender troops were Wang's sincerity to Liu Yan.Huan Wen did not mention this latter point in his letters.

At least before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, sending people was a relatively popular thing, such as giving labor or warriors in dowry, and friends would also send private soldiers or singers, dancers, actresses and the like to each other.

In short, Wang Ji sent someone later to send a signal to Liu Yan, not Huan Wen.But he didn't know why Huan Wen didn't mention it, or even whether Huan Wen would mention it.

Wang Luan sent troops to intercept Huan Wen, and Liu Yan sent troops to respond, but judging from the actual situation, Huan Wen seemed to have his own plans.

"Lieutenant Li, do you have the confidence to defeat the crowd again?"

"The end will obey reasonable orders."

"Now it is in the main business area, under the watchful eyes of Mr. Liu (Liu Yan). How much credit has been established before is presented on paper. How can it be more profound than showing martial bravery in front of Mr. Liu?"

"The ability of the last general does not lie in personal bravery, but in obeying orders and leading the robe to meet death or bring death."

It has to be said that even though he has only been in contact with him for less than half a month, Huan Wen admires Li Kuang immensely.He admired Li Kuang's reticence and his unhesitating execution of military orders.But he doesn't like Li Kuang's obvious refusal attitude now.

After all, Huan Wen was not the real leader of this cavalry army, and he knew this too. After Li Kuang disagreed, he had no choice but to order the flag bearers to signal to the main camp.

"Your Majesty, Huan Wen requests the troops who have left the camp to cooperate and attack the enemy troops who have left the camp."

When Liu Yan saw the semaphore, he could also understand some of Huan Wen's mentality, but there were some things that he couldn't say.

"Huan Wen is capable, but he seems rebellious."

When Yuan Qiao heard Ji Chang say that, she felt worried, and wanted to interject but didn't know what to say.He knew who Ji Chang was, and knew more about Ji Chang's position in Liu Yan's heart.If he really wants to describe it, he can directly understand that Ji Chang is Liu Yan's loyal eagle dog, and being able to become a ruler eagle dog is not as simple as possessing ability. Trust is mutual giving, which means Liu Yan trusts Ji Chang.

Just when Yuan Qiao was about to say something, Ji Chang over there spoke again.

"We need capable people, maybe your majesty should agree to Huan Wen's request?"

It must be admitted that Yuan Qiao didn't understand what Ji Chang wanted to do, or what attitude he had towards Huan Wen (and possibly himself).

Of course, Wang Luan was standing on the nest cart as the main camp of the Zhao army in Shijie.

Wang Luan already knew everything he should know, including Wang Ji's private suggestion, that is, the war is still going on, but maybe we should leave a way out.

Wang Luan also belonged to Shi Zun's faction, but Shi Zun was not the one who gained power among Shi Hu's many sons.If something happened to the Wang family, the two came to the common conclusion that Shi Zun might not be able to help. This is really not a good thing under the premise that Shi Hu went crazy and some classes persecuted Jin people.

[It is true that there is too much room for retreat, but not now. 】Wang Luan is not talking about moral integrity, but he really has concerns.There is a clear message that Shi Hu intends to replace all Jin generals and replace them with Jie people, Qiang people, and Di people.He frowned and looked at the man on the other nest car: [People have been sent to monitor, the next step is to seize the military power? 】

The person on the other nest car is called Zhai Bin, he is not from the Central Plains, he is from Ding Ling in Mobei.

Ding Ling's history is not short at all. It existed as early as the pre-Qin period in ancient times. It's just that they were first conquered by the Huns, then succumbed to the Xianbei, and recently surrendered to Shijie. They have never been a mainstream ethnic group.

By the way, the presence of Ding Lingren is very low now, but it may be more familiar to change the name, it can be called Chi Le, Tie Le or Di Li.They are the current actual rulers of Mobei, and the tribe has a large population, but there is no strong leader who can unify the tribes.

Zhai Bin is also thinking about his mind. He intends to unify the tribes in Mobei and usher in Ding Ling's glorious era, but there is a prerequisite for that, that is, to obtain enough money and resources before he will come to join Shihu.

The first test Shi Hu gave Zhai Bin was relatively simple. He monitored Wang Luan and replaced him if necessary.

To put it simply, it means that Shi Hu no longer trusts any Jin people because of Ran Min's betrayal (and so to speak), and has already started to gather military power, and secretly deploys a set of Jin officials who have dealt with those officials. After the number of people, more people can support the operation of the country.

Not only Wang was aware of the crisis, but Zhang and Guo were also aware of the crisis.The three most powerful families in the Central Plains, they need to deal with an unprecedented crisis, and there seems to be more choices for them?Liu Yan can only be said to be at the bottom of the list.
