The last three kingdoms

Chapter 871 Hu Yanyi

Jinyang Palace.

Princess Huyan's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Her two younger brothers, Huyanhao and Huyanlang, were killed in battle, within a few days. One died in Jiexiu and the other in Jiuyuan. Huyan was heartbroken. In front of Liu Yuan was crying and wiping away tears.

Liu Yuan was upset by her, but he couldn't say anything, Liu Yuan was so depressed.

The main reason why Liu Yuan returned to Jinyang was that the area around Jinyang was the home of the Huns. When the Huns moved inward, they were placed in the area of ​​Jinyang by Cao Cao, living on both sides of the Fenshui River. It can be said that the Huns managed the surrounding areas of Jinyang. It has been decades, and Liu Yuan could not gain a foothold in Shangdang, so he could only retreat to his old nest in Jinyang, trying to fight with the Jin and Shu armies in Jinyang, relying on the favorable factors of time and place, and annihilated the Jin and Shu armies on the ground. By the Fenshui River.

In this regard, Liu Yuan is full of confidence. Not only is there a [-] army of Youxian King Liu Meng in Jinyang, but more importantly, the Huns have always regarded the banks of the Fenshui River as their home. This sense of belonging is more likely to inspire the fighting spirit of the Huns soldiers to defend their homes and the country. No matter from that point of view, the Huns have a clear advantage.

But the development of the situation made Liu Yuan vomit blood depressedly. The Jin army rushed all the way on the east bank of the Fen River, sweeping away the cities in the east of Fen, and the Shu army also caused considerable trouble for the Huns in the west of Fen. In the First World War, the Huns not only lost [-] troops, but also lost the general Hu Yanhao. It can be called the biggest defeat after the Huns uprising.

The fall of Jiexiu completely disrupted Liu Yuan's defense in Jinzhong, so that the Shu army successively captured Zhongyang, Zishi, Pingtao, and Daling. With all the land in Fenxi captured, Liu Yuan had to rearrange his defenses as a surefire measure.

But the tragedies of the Huns were far from limited to this. After the end of the Battle of Jiexiu, there was another bad news from the north. Huyanlang was defeated and died at Xinkou Pass. Jiexiu's loss was almost exactly the same.

In just a few days, the Xiongnu army lost 6 horses, and 6 horses is by no means a small number, almost one-third of the entire Jinyang garrison. is unique.

Liu Yuan wailed in his heart. Compared with the death of his two brothers-in-law, Liu Yuan was more distressed by the [-] Hun army. Now it was the critical moment of the decisive battle in Jinyang, but Hu Yanhao and Hu Yanlang lost their chains. Even if they didn't die on the battlefield, when they returned to Jinyang, Liu Yuan would never let them go lightly.

Huyan's brotherly love is deep, and it is easy to understand that she is crying heartbroken, but she wants to avenge her two younger brothers one by one, but Liu Yuan is in a dilemma. Of course Liu Yuan wants revenge, but revenge must be particular At this moment, the Huns are facing a lot of difficulties now, not to mention revenge, whether they can gain a foothold in Jinyang has also become very difficult.

At this time, the servants came to report, and Hu Yanyi, the imperial historian, came to see him.

Huyanyi is the eldest of the Huyan family, even older than the Huyan clan. Even though he is the official censor, the Huns do not distinguish between civil and military practices. Huyanyi is a mighty general, and his martial arts are far superior to those of Huyanhao. Above Hu Yanlang, he was anxious to see Liu Yuan at this moment, naturally it was about Hu Yanhao and Hu Yanlang brothers.

Liu Yuan frowned slightly, one Huyan family had already upset him, if adding another Huyanyi, wouldn't Liu Yuan be disturbed to death?But Liu Yuan was embarrassed to see him again. After all, the Huyan family had sacrificed two lives, and it couldn't be justified by emotion and reason.

"Please!" Liu Yuan said helplessly.

Soon Hu Yanyi came to the palace. If it were an ordinary minister, Hu Yan would definitely avoid suspicion at this time, but now that her brother came, Hu Yan naturally didn't need to avoid it, and she just saw the opportunity to cry with her natal family After a while, he stayed in the palace.

Hu Yanyi bowed to Liu Yuan to salute, Huyan cried and said: "Brother, the second brother and the third brother died so badly, you and the king must avenge them."

Hu Yanyi said: "My concubine mourns. Brother Hao and Brother Lang sacrificed their lives for the country. They were loyal to the king and deserved to die. What is there to say? As for their blood feud, the king and ministers will definitely avenge it. Please rest assured, princess."

Although Huyanshi is his younger sister, if she marries Liu Yuan, she will become Huyanyi's master, and naturally she can no longer be called a brother and sister, but Huyanyi said that she died well, which made Huyanshi startled, Huyanyi The death of the two younger brothers is very open.

Liu Yuan was shocked, and sighed to himself, but Hu Yanyi understood the truth, and said with relief: "What Aiqing said is absolutely true, this bloody enmity must be avenged no matter what, and this blood debt must be repaid with the blood of the people of Shu." .”

Huyan cried for a while, but felt bored, so he retreated embarrassingly.

Liu Yuan sighed lightly and said: "Ai Qing also knows that the situation is difficult now, and it is not easy to avenge this bloody revenge."

Hu Yanyi said: "I naturally understand that now the Jin people are in the east, and the Shu people live in the two north and two routes, and the three routes are besieging Jinyang. The situation is very dangerous. I came here to offer the king a plan to defeat the enemy."

Liu Yuan was overjoyed and said, "What's your plan, please tell me quickly."

Hu Yanyi solemnly said: "Although the Jin and Shu armies divided into three groups to besiege Jinyang, the ministers and viewers are not of the same mind, and the king can use them to defeat each other. Now the Shu army lives in the two north and two routes, and the camp is well established. It is very stable, and it is not easy to attack, and the Jin people are now crossing the Fenshui River westward, which is an opportunity we can take advantage of, and attack it halfway, breaking the enemy is easy."

Liu Yuan said worriedly: "If we attack the Jin people and the Shu people attack from behind, wouldn't our army be attacked from the back?" Liu Yuan still remembers the battle of Huguan still fresh. This messed up Liu Yuan's strategic deployment, and eventually Liu Yuan had to withdraw from Shangdang, handing over the whole county of Shangdang to others.

Hu Yanyi seemed to be confident and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Even though the two countries of Jin and Shu are at the same level, they are far from the level of intimacy and tacit understanding. Your Majesty only needs to send a team to stop the Shu people, and your ministers can lead elite soldiers." Attacking the Jin people crossing the river is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once the Jin people cross the Fen River, the consequences will be disastrous."

Liu Yuan immediately agreed to Hu Yanyi's suggestion. Hu Yanyi led an army of [-] troops to Fenshui to stop the Jin army who was crossing the river, and sent another group of troops to take up the task of stopping the rescue. Liu Yuan's top priority was to destroy the Jin army first. .
