Chapter 301

Huan Jie knew that he was a big attractor, so he didn't dare to hide in the family residence, lest he would bring trouble to the family. Now he is temporarily hiding in a friend's house. There are no more than three people who know his whereabouts, and Song Lin is the fourth.

Under the leadership of the Huan clan, Song Lin came to Huan Jie's hiding place smoothly.

Huan Jie was standing in a square tall building in the backyard of his friend's house, raising his eyes to observe the situation in the city.He wears a white silk scarf on his head, a bodice in his clothes, and beards on his cheeks, elegant and dignified.When he learned that Song Lin was here on behalf of Liu Jing, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and sat at the same table with him regardless of the difference in status between the two parties.

Song Lin was overwhelmed with flattery. Although he was a descendant of the Song family in Linxiang, this status was not worth mentioning to Huan Jie. Only those with outstanding virtues and talents could be valued by him.Song Lin knew that he was treated like this because he represented Liu Jing, and he still felt extremely honored, and told all the things he knew, in every detail.

During this period, Huan Jie spent most of the time listening, and only occasionally asked a few questions. When Song Lin finished speaking, Huan Jie couldn't help but fell silent.

At that time, he was valued by Sun Jian, and the weak crown was entrusted with the post of meritorious service. Even if he was removed from Luoyang, the capital of the capital, as a minister, and his father's funeral, he had been a filial piety for his father for three years, and his time as Changsha's meritorious service was still ten years. above.

The meritorious Cao is "the rate of all the officials in the county government", and it is his duty to "select talents" for the county government. Over the years, Huan Jie has seen countless talents, but no one can compare with Liu Jing, not even himself. , is also hard to come by.

Liu Jing left Linxiang when he was not as good as the weak crown, and went south to Lingxian County. After ten years of reunion, the wish to unify Jingchu has completely come to naught.

It is undeniable that there is help from time to time, but Huan Jie believes that the more important thing is the conspiracy of people.

Liu Jing was gifted with divine wisdom, divine wisdom, foresight, and deliberation like a god. Such a person, with a single county, can still traverse Hunan and be invincible. Heroes of Jing and Chu such as Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, etc., will either die or flee.If he were allowed to occupy the four counties in Jingnan, Liu Biao would be in panic all day long.What Liu Biao needs to consider in the future is no longer capturing Jingnan, but how to keep the Jingbei foundation.

After a long time, Huan Jie said: "Since the city of Linxiang was broken, we are unwilling to commit ourselves to the north, so we can only hide temporarily. Now Liu Lingling follows the will of the lord of the government, destroys the rebellious festival in Xianglei, chases death and chases the north, as for Lin Xiang, we are looking forward to today all the time in our hearts, and we will do our best to help Liu Lingling regain Linxiang."

"Mr. Huan is my hope in Changsha. As soon as I ascend the heights, the scholars and people of Linxiang will definitely follow me." Song Linxi said: "With the help of Mr. Huan, it will be easy for us to recover Linxiang."

Although Song Lin's words were flattering, it is undeniable that Huan Jie did have such a huge influence. He has been in charge of Changsha County for ten years and has promoted countless people.

It is no exaggeration to say that his prestige among the scholars and people in Linxiang is as high as that of Zhang Xian.This is why Liu Biao and Han Xuan are eager to recruit him.

Huan Jie stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Your words are too flattering, I dare not take them seriously." Then he got up and said, "It's not too late. I'll contact the loyal people in the city."

Song Lin also got up and said, "All the big names in the city, let's run down here."

Huan Jie nodded in agreement, and the two set this place as the contact point, and they left separately.

Huan Jie first returned to Quanli. This was the first time he returned to the family after nearly half a year.

He only wore a bamboo hat as a cover, in the past, he would not have dared to be so blatant, but now that Liu Jing's army is approaching the city, he naturally has no scruples in his heart.

Soon after, he appointed his nephew, a disciple of Kun Zhong, to go out to contact all parties.

With the passage of time, various forces in Linxiang City continued to gather under Huan Jie's command. Relying on his unparalleled prestige, he kneaded many forces in the city into a whole.

When the thief Cao Zhicheng led more than a hundred officials and retainers to join, the troops that could be mobilized by Ling Huanjie finally broke through the two thousand mark.

When night fell, Huan Jie cooperated with Liu Jingjun and Ou Xiong outside the city to launch an uprising in the city.

Huan Jie knew that there seemed to be a lot of people on his side, but they were actually a mob fighting head-on, and they were by no means the opponents of the Jingzhou Army with well-equipped armor and well-equipped weapons.

Therefore, Huan Jie let Ji Ji, Song Lin and others run around in the city and set fire to it, causing turmoil in the city and attracting the attention of the Jingzhou army. He led people to wait for the opportunity to seize several city gates in Linxiang. Entering the city, there will be no suspense in this battle.

The plan of Huan Jie and others is far from being rigorous, but the Jingzhou Army is not popular with Linxiang soldiers and people, and the current decline is irreversible.

Therefore, Han Xuan was kept in the dark all the time, and he didn't realize it until the chaos in the city.

Seeing the flames everywhere in the city, shouting for killing soaring to the sky, Han Xuan was anxious for a while, and urgently dispatched troops to suppress the rebellion.

It's just that the "rebels" didn't fight the Jingzhou army at all. They took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, constantly changed positions, set fires everywhere, and completely led the Jingzhou army by the nose.

When Han Xuan found out that he had unknowingly put more than half of his troops into the action of suppressing the rebellion, the result not only failed to effectively contain the rebellion, but the situation became more and more deteriorating.

Then the news that the county mansion fell into the hands of thieves came, which made Han Xuan completely give up, and lost the last bit of courage left in his heart. He turned his head and said to Kuai Qi beside him: "Kuai Qi, now there are strong enemies outside Linxiang. , there is a rebellion inside, and we can't hold it anymore, why don't we temporarily retreat to Beijin City and join Cai Junshi."

Although Kuai Qi knew that Linxiang was difficult to defend, he never expected that he would not be able to defend even one day. corner.

Han Xuan and Kuai Qi were shocked. Knowing that the north city gate had been lost, they dared not delay any longer. They immediately led the soldiers to retreat to the west city wall, preparing to pass through the west gate and go north to join Cai Mao.

However, just after they arrived at the west city wall, they saw a scene that made them desperate: Cai Mao abandoned them and ran away alone.

Although Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu valued Linxiang more, they did not ignore Cai Mao, the commander of the Jingzhou navy, who had already divided up troops to blockade the Beijin camp.It's just that when the two went north this time, there were not many warships, and even fewer warships that could be used to block the waterway. Not to mention full of loopholes, it was definitely not tight.

Taking advantage of the chaos in Linxiang, under the cover of night, Cai Mao led the ships under his command to swarm out of Beijin camp, broke through the blockade of Liu Jingjun's fleet all the way, and disappeared into the night.
