Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 259 Return to Wolf Mountain
Sima Yu looked at Sima Dan who was trying to persuade him with the allusion of lips dying and teeth cold, and said with a wry smile:

"How come I don't know what your Majesty is worried about, but the Qiang people are ambitious and cannot be trusted. If they send troops rashly, they may suffer another misfortune."

Sima Tan was dumbfounded. He did not control power now, he only had the title of emperor, and it was impossible to really force Sima Yu to send troops. After all, it was his mother who had the title of emperor.

Once Sima Yu couldn't withstand Sima Dan's pressure, he could move Empress Dowager Chu out and let mother and son resolve their disputes on their own.

Of course Sima Yu knew what Empress Dowager Chu was thinking, and he also believed that one thing would be worse than one thing. How could he agree to send troops to rescue Yao Chang.

Sima Dan returned to his dormitory, still angry. He didn't really want to go north to resist the Yan Kingdom, but hoped to annex the Yao family in the name of rescue.

The detailed situation of the Battle of Yecheng has long been reported to Jiangling. Now the Qiang army under Yao Chang's command only has 10,000 cavalry, and the rest are Han troops.

Once Wang's army moves north, those Han troops will definitely disarm and surrender.

However, Sima Tan came to the throne at the age of two and lived in the palace for a long time. He had been in the hands of women since he was a child. He did not know that the Jin Dynasty was already notorious in the north.

When Yao Xiang was in Huainan, there was even an incident where Han refugees under the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty hijacked local officials and asked to surrender to Yao Xiang.

Liu Yan flattered him and said:
"On that day, Xiao Wang was ordered to command the archers and cavalry. The Great Chanyu taught me how to fight on horseback and on foot, and also guarded me with my close guards. It really showed my majesty and wiped away the decades of humiliation of the Tiefu Xiongnu in one fell swoop."

Liu Wuhuan also echoed:
"If it hadn't been for the Great Chanyu to lend a helping hand, we would all have been slaves of the Di people!"

In fact, the current status of the Tiefu Xiongnu was just that of a slave to the Fu family, instead of a slave to the Huan family.

Murong Ying looked up at him at the right time, her eyes full of admiration. Huan Xi felt very benefited from this look, and he couldn't help but feel comfortable and happy.

He just hasn't mentioned it to Liu Wuhuan and Liu Kuantou yet.

Of course, such good days must come to an end.

However, instead of serving the Yu State, it would be better to be a dog for the Liang State.

Sima Dan said to his trusted eunuch:

Huan Xi pointed to a piece of grass and smiled at the people accompanying him:

It is imperative to reintegrate the Tiefu Xiongnu tribe. Huan Xi has long been no longer satisfied with controlling only one third of the Tiefu Xiongnu tribe.

Not to mention the ambitions of the thirteen-year-old boy, Huan Xi had already left Yinchuan and arrived at the foot of Langshan Mountain.

There were many soldiers who escorted Huan Xi to Houtao Plain. In addition to the guards Yi Cong and Baibao Xianbei, there were also 30,000 archers, some of whom were from the Xianbei tribe and some from the Xiongnu tribe.

"When I take power, I will definitely accomplish something. How can I just sit back and wait for death and hand over the great country to others."

Huan Xi's trip was to show off his muscles at Dai Guo's doorstep.

If you want to shake their position, you can't just rely on the messenger's sharp tongue.

"That's where I defeated Fu Xiong and captured Fu Xiong alive."

At least in these years, Huan Xi never interfered in the affairs of the Liu Wuhuan and Liu Kuantou tribes after he conquered the Xiongnu on three occasions.

Visiting the old place again, the past events were vivid in his mind. However, someone came from the camp and announced that a messenger from Chang'an was coming and was waiting in the camp. Huan Xi had no choice but to put away his interest and hurried back.

The letter was sent by Wang Meng. He had received orders from Huan Xi and was trying to drive a wedge between Fu Sheng and Fu Jian. One of the methods was to concoct prophecies.

Such things as prophecies may exist if you believe them, but they may not exist if you don't believe them. But most of the time, they can often work. For example, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty destroyed the Great Wall and destroyed the whole family of Hu Luguang because of the prophecy. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also killed the entire family of Li Mu, the first hero of the founding of the country.

Huan Xi is very aware of the lethality of prophecies.

Of course, Huan Xi was not very sure whether Fu Sheng would be fooled.

Fortunately, spreading prophecies alluding to Fu Jian was only one of Wang Meng's strategies. Wang Meng did not write down the specific methods, and Huan Xi did not care much.

Wang Meng always felt at ease when doing things.

The reason why I sent the letter today is mainly to talk about Wang Liang's mission to Hebei.

Huan Xi sneered:
"As for asking for my brother's body, it's nothing more than begging for mercy from the enemy who killed my brother."

Fortunately, Huan Xi is not afraid of Yao Chang surrendering to the Yan State. This kind of white-eyed wolf will definitely be the first to jump out and attack his old master once the Murong family is gone.

There were only Huan Xi and Murong Ying in the commander's tent. Murong Ying heard him mention "the enemy who killed her brother" and knew in her heart that this letter must be related to Yao Chang and Murong Jun.

Sure enough, Huan Xi turned his attention to Murong Ying, took her hand, pulled Murong Ying into his arms, and asked:

"It's been ten years since I separated from your brothers. Have you ever missed them?"

Murong Ying knew that even if she admitted it, Huan Xi would not be able to let her go.

"My body and heart belong to Huan Lang."

As he spoke, Murong Ying pointed to her lower abdomen and continued:
"With the child in the womb."

Murong Ying is pregnant, which is normal. After all, Huan Xi only takes her with her and sleeps with her every night, so pregnancy is a high probability event.

Huan Xi heard this and joked:

"The new one is better than the old one? Has Aying forgotten about Shou'er and Han'er?"

Murong Ying smiled and said:
"Now that they are getting older and have recognized Huan Lang as their adoptive father, what else can I worry about? I will serve Huan Lang wholeheartedly and prepare for the birth of the child in my belly."

Huan Xi pretended to complain:

"Serving wholeheartedly is just talk. Now there are a few more ounces of meat that cannot be touched. If I had known this, I should have brought more people."

Murong Ying rolled her eyes and suggested:
"I think there is no shortage of young and beautiful women in King Zuo Xian's tribe. Why don't I find an opportunity to talk to Yan'er and ask her to find some Hun women for Huan Lang to satisfy Huan Lang's greed."

Huan Xi shook his head and said:

"When I first arrived in Hetao, King Zuo Xian offered many Hun women to me, but I kept myself clean and never left anyone behind."

Hearing Huan Xi talk about being clean and self-sufficient, Murong Ying rolled her eyes, obviously not believing his nonsense.

Huan Xi did not make much excuse, changed the subject, and got down to business:
"The followers who followed you to escape from Shengle have now secretly sneaked back to Dai Kingdom and are running among the various ministries. Has any news come back?"

The envoys Huan Xi used to contact the various ministries of the Dai Kingdom were the same people who escorted Murong Ying's mother and son when they fled. They were originally from Xianbei and had lived in Shengle for many years, so they could imitate their accents perfectly.

Murong Ying was once the Queen of Dai, and now she is the Queen Mother canonized by the Jin Dynasty. Since it was her followers who sneaked into Dai Kingdom, Murong Ying was naturally the best person to take charge of this matter.
