Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 184 Soothing Jin Nu

When A Yao woke up, Huan Xi was reading official documents in the handsome tent.

Wang Meng was ordered to stay in Chang'an and preside over military and state affairs. For all important official documents, he would have the contents and his instructions copied.

After finishing the official business for the day, they will be handed over to the postman and quickly delivered to Huan Xi for review.

Once there are any mistakes or omissions, Huan Xi can send someone to pass the message, and Wang Meng can correct them in time.

Of course, such a thing has never happened. Wang Meng handles things appropriately and always meets Huan Xi's wishes.

Huan Xi often told Wang Meng that there would be no need for such trouble in the future. Wang Meng would govern the country, and Huan Xi would naturally feel relieved.

But Wang Meng always insisted on this approach, which made Huan Xi helpless, but also happy because of Wang Meng's cautious attitude towards power.

When Huan Xi saw A Yao waking up, he put down the official document and joked:

"I thought you wouldn't wake up until the sun was shining brightly."

A Yao blushed and explained:

"Don't get me wrong, Shanyu. I'm just too tired, not lazy or lethargic."

In fact, A Yao should be tired. She was a virgin and had just received the rain and dew, so how could she withstand Huan Xi's favor.

Huan Xi shook his head and said:

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just joking with you. If you get along with me for a long time, you will naturally know this.

"You must be hungry too. I left some food for you. You wash up first and I'll go get someone to heat it up."

A Yao felt relieved after hearing this. Although she was not familiar with Huan Xi, she could feel that he was not a violent person.

"Great Chanyu"

As soon as he spoke, Huan Xi corrected him:

"Da Dan is what you call me in front of outsiders. When you are alone, you don't have to be so formal. The side room at home always calls me General, and I am used to it. If you are willing, you can also call me General."

A Yao nodded. While the two were talking, Shen Chiqian and Bald-haired Si Futan were already outside the tent asking for a meeting.

At this time, Ayao had not yet dressed up and washed up, so of course she did not want to see guests, even if the visitor was her father.

Huan Xi pointed at the screen behind him. Ayao understood and quickly walked behind the screen.

"come in."

Huan Xi shouted outside the tent.

Immediately, Shen Chiqian and Bald Hair Sifu raised the curtain and entered, saluting Huan Xi.

Huan Xi asked the two of them to stand up and asked Bald Sifu:

"My father-in-law came with Chi Qian. I don't know what's going on."

Although the bald Si Futan didn't see his daughter, he couldn't help but smile when he heard Huan Xi's name. He bowed and said:

"Reporting to the Great Chanyu, Sifu Dang has sent all the Jin slaves from his clan, and they are all waiting outside the camp now."

It turned out that Huan Xi asked Shen Chiqian to discuss the redemption of slaves with Bald-haired Sifuxing last night.

Although Shen Chiqian waited for Huan Xi to wake up early this morning before reporting to him, Bald Si Futan didn't rest all night and found all the more than a thousand Jin slaves in Bald Xianbei.

Huan Xi looked at the haggard appearance of the bald-haired Sifu who had stayed up all night and was so busy that he couldn't help but be moved and said:

"Why should my father-in-law be in such a hurry? Huan had already promised me that I would come and trade with my father-in-law after I brought the sheepskins."

Bald Sifu said:

"If it weren't for the Great Chanyu's insistence, Sifu Tao would rather not accept a penny, so why would he worry about the Great Chanyu breaking his promise? Since the Great Chanyu wants to redeem his people, Sifu Tao should naturally send it as soon as possible to show his kindness.

"Don't worry, Shanyu. I have already paid the nobles for their sheepskins. They were not taken by force." Huan Xi smiled when he heard this:

"My father-in-law has good intentions, but Huan is disrespectful. I also ask my father-in-law to wait while Huan goes to appease them first."

The bald Sifu nodded and said:

"As it should be."

When Huan Xi walked out of the commander's tent, he saw more than a thousand Jin slaves with thin bodies and yellow faces. Most of them were young and strong, women and children, and there were almost no old people.

Although they were haggard and ragged, they were in good spirits. They obviously knew in advance that they were about to gain freedom.

Huan Xi walked in front of everyone, but they didn't know the identity of the person coming.

Little Huan Gong is also an old actor. He said with guilt:

"Everyone! It's because I, Huan Xi, came late that you have suffered so much! This is all my fault!"

As soon as these words came out, more than a thousand Jin slaves who had suffered so much burst into tears, and even the soldiers guarding the camp gate were moved.

A middle-aged man with a broken arm choked:

"Mr. Liang, since the Yongjia Rebellion, three generations of my family have been enslaved by the Xianbei people and have fallen like this. How can it be said that it is Gong Liang's fault.

"Today Mr. Liang redeemed our lives. I only regret that I have been born in this disabled body and cannot be an ox or a horse for Mr. Liang to repay Mr. Liang's kindness."

Huan Xi shook his head and said seriously:

"You're wrong! I didn't redeem you so that you could work as cows or horses for me!

"Remember! You are no longer cattle and horses, but humans, the people under my rule, Huan Xi!"

"When you go to Guzang, the government will register you and allocate land and houses to you!

"Huan did light corvee and little wealth, but as long as he worked diligently, he would be able to save some money.

"Buy sweets for your children, rouge and gouache for your wife, and buy some new clothes for yourself. You will all live a good life in the future!"

These words made everyone yearn for it. This was a life they had never imagined when they were slaves.

"Long live Duke Liang!"

Not only was it who cheered first, the rest of the Jin slaves knelt down and shouted, vying to express their gratitude to Huan Xi.

Huan Xi understood that there were still many Jin slaves waiting for him to rescue, which made him look forward to the alliance even more.

The next day, Huan Xi and Bald Si Futan left Guangwu and headed for Guzang. Huan Xi naturally brought with him 49,000 cavalry and more than 1,000 Jin slaves who were rescued by him.

The bald Sifuxing also brought 20,000 cavalry with him.

The bald Xianbei had a total of 40,000 tents, and with the whole clan's strength, they could of course gather 20,000 cavalry.

However, these Xianbei cavalry, including the 30,000 cavalry of the Qifu tribe, are really mixed, and those who can truly be called elite are destined to be out of the majority.

Huan Xi also wanted to take advantage of this alliance to select a group of brave soldiers from the various tribes in Xianbei, Hexi, and moved them to Guanzhong and organized them into an army, named Baibao Xianbei.

Of course, this Baibao Xianbei cannot be freed like the Huns' horse archers.

Due to lack of training, the Huns' horse archers could only be used as a long-range strike force, using their innate abilities of horseback riding and archery. When the situation was tense, they could not fight a tough battle at all.

No pain no gain.

In Huan Xi's vision, Baibao Xianbei, like the Qianqi, would undertake the task of attacking the frontal battlefield, and naturally needed to undergo arduous training before being entrusted with important tasks.

Just as Huan Xi was heading to Guzang with great ambitions, Huan Wen also occupied Xiangcheng County and sent troops to Yingchuan to attack Xuchang. A battle between Huan Wen and Yan State was about to begin.

　Today there are none, only seven thousand.
