Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 520 Competing in the Central Plains (47)

"Qi Bing is coming!"

"Your Majesty, get on board quickly!"

Outside Jicheng City, Du Luozhou fled in a panic. After getting on the boat, he yelled at a handsome man on the shore, "He Liuhun, you perfidious grandson!"

The handsome man named He Liuhun ignored Du Luozhou on the boat, but went straight to the lower reaches of the river, planning to go there and hunt down the remnants of Du Luozhou.

This handsome man named He Liuhun, whose real name is Gao Huan, is a Han, but his ancestors have served as Xianbei officials for generations, so he has long been Xianbei. He has a Han face, but acts like a Xianbei people.

Under the extremely fast attack, they arrived at Baoqiujinkou in less than a day, and found that there was a dense crowd there, and many Yan soldiers were maintaining order.

Due to the speed of the attack, Gao Huan only had three hundred light cavalry beside him at the moment, and he was exhausted, and it was evening again.

"How about we rest for a while, let the horses and soldiers rest, and launch a night attack at night?" An officer suggested to Gao Huan.

"No." Gao Huan explained: "Our purpose is to make a surprise attack. If we rest here, the enemy will easily find us. They will make preparations in advance, and the surprise attack will not work."

"After rushing into the enemy group, dismount and fight on foot!"

Gao Huan's battle plan was very risky, but everyone still decided to implement it.

And Hou Jing, who was maintaining order at Jinkou, also spotted Gao Huan not far away, and he immediately became alert.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

Clang, clang! ——

Gao Huan had already killed the attacker, and three hundred Qingqi rushed to the crowd. The sentinels beat gongs and drums when they found out.

Everyone couldn't react in time, and was caught off guard by Gao Huan's killing. The scene was chaotic, with men and women running around everywhere.

But soon, the various cavalry squads assembled, and Gao Huan was a little surprised by the speed of reaction.

"Yan's cavalry are really elite!" Gao Huan praised, and immediately dismounted to fight.

Although they can't defeat the elite cavalry of Yan State, it is not a big problem to kill these ordinary people running around.

More than 300 people were killed by Gao Huan's [-] people and trampled on each other. People crowded everywhere, and they blocked the way for the cavalry of Yan State.

A thousand Yan State cavalry were blocked on the other side of the crowd, while Gao Huan killed at will in the center of the crowd.

Gradually, the crowd began to attack the positions of the Yan cavalry.

"Don't let them rush over and destroy our position. Anyone who dares to cross the line will be killed without mercy!"

The nobleman of the Yan Kingdom who was in charge of commanding the thousand cavalry shouted loudly.

The Yan cavalry also got off their horses one after another, took up their crossbows, and aimed at the civilians who were rushing towards their positions.

"Prepare... let go!"

call out!call out!call out!
The two hundred continuous crossbows fired at the same time, thousands of people were hit by the arrows in an instant, and as many as a hundred people fell to the ground and died.

"Yan Bing is well-trained, we are not opponents, but the purpose of disturbing them has been achieved, withdraw!"

Gao Huan saw the timing and led the crowd out of the battlefield, watching from a distance that the Yan army was restoring order in Jinkou.

He also wanted to find an opportunity to suddenly rush forward to carry out a surprise attack while the cavalry of Yan State were dealing with the rioters.

However, the cavalry generals of Yan State were very cautious and only allowed some people to maintain order, while the remaining cavalry were still protecting those who maintained order.

Seeing that there was really no chance, Gao Huan was about to evacuate, but at this moment.

"kill!"

"Boys, it's time to follow your Grandpa Hou to make contributions!"

Hou Jingyi is a bold man, and with his 300 cavalry squad, he dared to chase out and fight Gao Huan with [-] men.

Gao Huan was exhausted and didn't want to fight Hou Jing, so he quickly evacuated the scene with his troops.

"Grandson, don't run!"

Hou Jing was still chasing after, but the noble general of the Yan Kingdom asked the officer to ring the gold leaf.

Dangdang Dangdang!
This is to remind Hou Jingqiong not to chase after him, lest he be ambushed by Gao Huan's possible ambushes.

The people of Yan have few soldiers, so they cannot take military adventures at will, and they must be cautious and cautious.

Until late at night, Jinkou was still in a mess, and many people took advantage of the chaos and ran back to the Central Plains. It was originally expected to bring back 16 people in Liaodong, but in the end only 5 people were brought back to Liaodong.

Two months later
Taiyuan County

Jinyang City

A handsome man entered the mansion of Zhu Rong, the governor. This handsome man was Gao Huan who betrayed Du Luozhou not long ago and then took refuge in Ge Rong.

After Gao Huan returned to Ge Rong's side, he did not get the reward he deserved, and was even suspected instead. He simply left Ge Rong secretly, and brought a group of brothers to join Er Zhurong.

After several years of melee, Er Zhurong has become the most powerful of all the forces loyal to the Wei court.

Last month, he accepted Gao Huan's initiative to join him, and after only a few days of contact, he found that Gao Huan was a rare talent, so he reused Gao Huan, and often discussed with Gao Huan to deal with Ge Rong and others. Wait for the strategy of the rebels.

Now, he has a more important matter to discuss with Gao Huan.

"I've met the governor, but I don't know why the governor summoned him?" Gao Huan saluted respectfully.

"Nowadays the world is in chaos and there are rebels everywhere, but the Luoyang court ordered me to go up to Luoyang with a sword to eradicate the queen mother for the emperor. What do you think should be done?" Er Zhurong asked.

"The governor can follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang and make a name in history!" Gao Huan replied.

"That's exactly what I mean!" Er Zhurong approved of this suggestion.

However, after marching southward for a month, Er Zhurong's army had just arrived at Hedong, before crossing the Yellow River, when the emperor's new edict arrived again.

It turned out that not long ago, when Er Zhurong was discussing how to deal with Ge Rong with Gao Huan who had just defected to Gao Huan, the conflict between Emperor Yuanxu and his biological mother, Queen Mother Hu, intensified. Harm to the country, so they secretly issued an edict, let Er Zhurong enter Luoyang King Qin, and use military power to control Queen Mother Hu.

However, not long after the edict was issued, the emperor felt that it was too dangerous to bring foreign soldiers into the capital. After all, there was a precedent set by Dong Zhuo, so he issued another edict to let Er Zhurong go back and continue to suppress the rebels.

Er Zhurong asked Gao Huan again: "The court ordered me to withdraw my troops again, what do you think?"

"Didn't the governor hear that the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. You have wiped out so many rebels and made so many military exploits, but the court will come and go at your call. In the future If the world is at peace, wouldn’t the imperial court harm you? Even if His Majesty has no intention of harming you, how can those ministers and ministers who come from a wealthy family in the imperial court tolerate you, a son of a humble family, the governor, in a high position?"

Gao Huan said what Er Zhurong was worried about. At his level, if he voluntarily gives up his military power, no one can guarantee that those aristocratic families will become Sima Yi. .

"It's better to follow the example of Dong Zhuo back then and stay in Hedong and watch the changes. If there is no change in Luoyang, the governor will find another excuse to return to Taiyuan, but if there is a change in Luoyang..."

After Gao Huan finished speaking, Er Zhurong nodded, and immediately ordered soldiers to be stationed in Hedong, the reason being to prevent the army of the rebel Ge Rong from invading Hedong.
