Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 294 News from the Hetao
Huan Xi's words revealed his full confidence, as if he already had a plan to regain lost ground in the future.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huan Wen also said loudly:
"Your Majesty! If it hadn't been for something unexpected happening at home, Quanzi would have raised a million troops and marched to the east of the river!
"My brother has been running Luoyang for more than a year. The city defense of Luoyang is impregnable. When the dogs take over Hedong, I will come back to welcome your majesty and return it to the old capital!"

The ministers who followed Chu Suanzi and Sima Dan out of the city all changed their minds when they heard this.

Huan Wen is inoculating them.

Chu Suanzi did not dare to refuse, but he also refused to agree easily. When he was in trouble, Wang Tanzhi stood up and said:
"It's better to wait until Duke Liang regains Hedong before discussing this matter."

Unexpectedly, Huan Xi turned his eyebrows coldly and shouted:

"We, father and son, are talking to your two majesties. What is your identity? How dare you talk here!"

Everyone present was silent, and Wang Tanzhi's face turned the color of pig liver. He had now been promoted to the rank of Attendant, and was the chief minister of the province, but he was still reprimanded mercilessly by Huan Xi in public, which almost made him feel ashamed.

With Wang Tanzhi as an example, others naturally did not dare to interrupt, but Chu Suanzi came to his rescue:
"Although Wang Shizhong's words are inappropriate, they are not unreasonable. Why should Huan Qing be angry about this?"

Huan Xi accepted the offer and quickly accused Chu Suanzi.

This made Huan Wen suspect that Huan Xi wanted to lure the enemy deeper.

When Huan Wen heard about the urgent report from Guanzhong, he wondered:

Huan Xi explained:
"I got the news last night that the Yu people invaded Hetao. The child must return north immediately to take charge of the overall situation."

Huan Wen had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wang Tanzhi. Wang Tanzhi abandoned him without hesitation and fell into the arms of the court. He had always been Huan Wen's enemy. Huan Wen had nowhere to vent the hatred in his heart.

Huan Wen frowned:
"Why didn't you say this earlier? The situation is critical?"

When Huan Wen asked about his doubts, Huan Xi affirmed:

The Huan family father and son also returned to the Xinting camp after Chu Suanzi and Sima Dan left.

"Now that my grandmother has been laid to rest, she has paid a visit to your majesties at the Zhuque Gate. It just so happened that an urgent report came from Guanzhong that the child is unfilial and cannot stay with his father any longer."

When Huan Wen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Of course he believed in Xie Ai's ability.

There is no doubt that the ownership of the Hetao is related to Huan Xi's strategy for Hedong. If the Hetao cannot be defended and the hinterland of Guanzhong is threatened by the Yu State, how can the Liang State attack Hedong with all its strength.

Huan Xi knew that Huan Wen was secretly happy, so he didn't point out his little thoughts. Instead, he said goodbye to Huan Wen:

Huan Xi shook his head and said:
"The Helan tribe, Tiefu Xiongnu and other small tribes have all evacuated to Yinchuan in time. Ha'er arranged for Xie Ai to go to Yinchuan in advance. Now Yinchuan has strong troops and horses, there should be no danger."

Chu Suanzi said many words of encouragement and comfort to Huan Wen and Huan Xi outside Zhuque Gate before returning to the palace.

After all, everyone knew about the two's feud. If something unexpected happened to Wang Tanzhi, everyone would definitely suspect Huan Wen.

Along the way, Huan Wen recalled Wang Tanzhi's embarrassment at that time, and just thinking about it made him feel happy.

However, Huan Wen quickly thought of another thing. The Helan tribe, the Tiefu Xiongnu left and right Xian Wang tribes, plus those small tribes, could definitely gather 50,000 or 60,000 infantry and cavalry, but now they all retreated without firing a single shot. Arrive at Xitao Grassland.

"He Laitou, Liu Wuhuan and others are indeed following orders. If they can lure the Yu army deep into the Hetao and wait for opportunities to severely damage their main force, wouldn't they save a lot of trouble when Ha'er attacks Hedong."

However, after returning to the commander's tent, Huan Wen still pretended to warn Huan Xi not to humiliate ministers in public in the future.

"What happened?"

Huan Wen nodded slightly, but still worried:
"Xie Ai is indeed handsome and talented, but he has not been in Yinchuan for a long time. I am afraid that he is not yet able to command Hu Qi with ease."

This is Huan Xi’s only worry:
"So the child was about to say goodbye to his father and immediately go north."

"So urgent?" Huan Wen frowned, but quickly relaxed:
"That's right. The military situation is urgent and there is no need to delay."

Just as Huan Xi was leaving, Huan Wen stopped him:

"Remember to say goodbye to your mother. If you leave quietly, she will definitely blame me."

When Huan Xi heard this, he thought of something and smiled for the first time in a long time.

After walking out of the handsome tent, Sima Xingnan was outside. Before Huan Xi could speak, Sima Xingnan asked first:

"Leave now?"

Apparently he overheard the conversation between father and son.

Huan Xi nodded and said:
"I was about to say goodbye to my mother."

Sima Xingnan asked again:
"Ling Jiang and Aman go with you?"

Huan Xi shook his head:

"The matter is urgent and I can't take care of them."

After that, Huan Xi suggested:

"If a mother is reluctant to part with her grandson, she might as well keep Xiang Hai'er, Ah Ju and others with her, but Ah Man has to go back to Chang'an."

Sima Xingnan was very tempted, but she still refused:

"I myself have experienced the pain of separation, how can I bear to separate other people's mothers and children now."

As he said this, he shed tears unconsciously.

Huan Xi quickly wiped away Sima Xingnan's tears and said seriously:
"For my mother, I also have the determination and reason to capture Hedong."

Sima Xingnan was very moved, but still urged Huan Xi to say goodbye to Xie Daoyun.

"You can keep these sweet words to Ling Jiang. It's not easy to marry you as your wife. It's not easy to get together and be separated for a long time."

Of course Huan Xi also knew this. He was away fighting all year round, and he rarely cared about his wife, concubines, and children. Xie Daoyun took care of everything at home for him.

Huan Xi owes a lot to his wife.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Huan Xi went straight to Xie Daoyun's camp. Xie Daoyun heard that he wanted to go first and acted very calmly:

"My husband has been frowning since he received Wang Lingjun's letter last night. I have been mentally prepared for it, guessing that you will leave us, mother and son, again."

Huan Xi hugged his wife and comforted her softly:
"Ling Jiang, if you give me a few more years, we will definitely be together one day."

Xie Daoyun bit his lip and said:

"How can I be a person who doesn't care about the importance? In the face of military and national events, the love between children should be put aside. I am just worried that after my husband has finished the world, I will no longer be young, my appearance will be old, and I will be ignored by my husband." evil."

When Huan Xi heard this, he hugged her tighter:
"For so many years, thanks to your virtuous wife who has helped me take care of my family affairs, I have been able to expand my territory and dominate the world.

"As husband and wife, we have no doubts about life or death. Even if we are no longer young, we should grow old together and don't have random thoughts."

When Xie Daoyun listened to his love words, all the grievances in her heart disappeared. She had thousands of words in her heart, but when she came to her mouth, she only said "treasure" and told Huan Xi to pay attention to his health and be careful.
