Chapter 29 Jingzhou Great Change 2

Defeating these two is the first step for Huan Xuan to achieve his ambition. Although the time to get to this point is short, the process is extremely difficult.

After his father's death, although Huan Xuan was appointed as the governor of Yixing, he thought it was ignored by the court and was very ambitious. Therefore, he gave the emperor a message to express his depression, and also begged the emperor to reuse his identity as a relative of the emperor:

"When I heard the rumors of Zhou Gong and the rumors of the four countries, Le Yi Wang Zuo was slandered and robbed. "The Lane Bo" has the sigh of a beast. Su Gongxing's thorn in the wind, which is evil and ugly, and there is no substitute for it! The predecessors met the Meng Kingdom, and the emperor often wanted to repay the virtue with his body and take the opportunity. Xiping Bashu, Beiqing Yiluo made the stolen bandits be the neck of the northque, the garden tombs were repaired, the great shame to carry the snow, drank the horse and hung Zhao Wei, the teacher of the king of Qin, and the merit was not a victory...

... In this regard, the opportunity of the Jin Dynasty is more dangerous than that of Yin Han, and the achievements of the predecessors are higher than that of Yi Huo. ...If the court is left behind, the minister will not care about it. As for the 9th Five-Year Plan of the First Emperor Long Fei, the reason why His Majesty succeeded the southern face of the Ming Dynasty, may I ask who is evil? Who is evil? Yong'an in the Jin Dynasty, the blood of the ancestors, is a family of His Majesty, which is also a wonderful achievement.

Since the prosperity of the power gate, the ugly and complex politics, salty description of the time and attached to each other, so that my brothers are all sinners of Jin, how can I survive in the holy world? Can He Yan be sealed? If your majesty forgets the great achievements of his predecessors and believes in Bei Jinfei's words, the ministers should return three letters, be killed in the city court, and then go down to the predecessors and return to the former emperor in the ears of the Xuan Palace. If your majesty obeys the previous order, record the old medal, and secretly look at the grace covered by Shao Kai.

This sparse mainly said two things: first, his father made great achievements and hoped that the court would not ignore the meritorious officials; second, he wanted his son to inherit his father's business, and he also hoped that the court would give him a chance.

As a result, after this was presented to the court, it sank into the sea like a stone, and there was no further news.

Huan Xuan was deeply disappointed and simply resigned from the post of Yixing Taishou and returned to Jingzhou to serve under Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou.

Yin Zhongkan is an important minister trusted by the emperor. He was sent to Jingzhou to guard in the hope that he could form mutual assistance with Jiankang. Huan Xuan hopes to get the help of Yin Zhongkan so that he can have the opportunity to return to his official career; while Yin Zhongkan has not been in Jingzhou for a long time and needs a rich family like Huan Xuan to be his arm.

The two then united and took what they needed. However, the union of the two did not complement each other. Because Huan Xuan believes in both literature and martial arts, he doesn't pay attention to people like Yin Zhongkan at all. He believes that Yin Zhongkan is a typical "big and useless" person; Yin Zhongkan believes that Huan Xuan is too powerful in Jingzhou and he is repeatedly restrained by him and dares not entrust him with heavy responsibilities.

Huan Xuan, who was depressed and unable to do it, seized the opportunity of Yin Zhongkan to lead his troops to the east twice and finally took control part of the military power. Huan Xuan, who had a political mind, took advantage of the struggle of various factions in the imperial court to seize the power of the state governor. Since then, he has not only his own army, but also his own territory.

Yin Zhongkan has been guarding against Huan Xuan since the date of his appointment. Unexpectedly, raising the tiger hurt his body, and what Yin Zhongkan had been worried about finally became a reality. After Huan Xuan's power expanded, the first threat was Yin Zhongkan's position.

Yin Zhongkan once pulled in Huan Xuan to fight against Yang Qiqi. Yang Qiqi, then the assassin of Yongzhou, was another powerful force second only to Jingzhou in the western part of the Great Jin Dynasty. However, gradually Yin Zhongjian found that Huan Xuanyuan was more difficult to deal with than Yang Qiqi, so he had to marry Yang Qiqi to prevent Huan Xuan. Yang Qiqi and Huan Xuan have always been at odds with each other, so Yin Zhong can expect Huan and Yang to weaken each other, and he sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

The temporary peace in the western part of the Jin Dynasty depends on the balance of the three forces of Yin, Yang and Huan. Once these three powerful trends are tilted, the west of the empire is in danger of overthrowing.

Compared with Yin and Yang, Huan Xuan has not held the power of the local army and politics for a long time, and his foundation is not solid. He was afraid of being excluded and destroyed by Yin and Yang, so he went to the court and asked to expand the unified area.

Sima Daozi and Yuan Xian's father and son, who were in power in the court, were repeatedly smonished by Yin Zhongkan and intended to contain his power. When they saw Huan Xuan intending to set fire in Yin Zhongkan's backyard, why not? The Taoist father and son added the military of the four counties of Jingzhou, and replaced Yang Guang, the brother of Yang Qiqi, as the southern barbarian lieutenant.

Yin Zhong was angry with such an order, which made Yang Qiqi furious. Yang Qiqi repeatedly sought provocations, but he was always restrained by Yin Zhong. Yin Zhongkan's move is quite meaningful. He is worried about both Huan Xuan and Yang Qiqi. Although these two are gaining more and more power, they are not as powerful as Yin Zhongkan.

At this moment, Yin Zhong is like a tiger raiser to two fierce tigers. As long as the two tigers are still there, they will fight against each other and hurt each other. Once a tiger falls, the next person to be injured is the tiger raiser. Yin Zhong is well ardent about politics and has a clear understanding of the truth.

Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. The unstable balance will eventually be broken by Huan Xuan and Yang Qiqi, the two arbitrary provocative people.

This year, torrential rains fell in Jingzhou, destroying countless crops, and the people suffered unspeakably. Just as Yin Zhongkan was trying his best to help the disaster, Huan Xuan took the opportunity to attack Yin Zhongkan. Yin Zhong was tired of fighting, and his hungry soldiers were repeatedly defeated by Huan Xuan.

Yin Zhongjian saw that Jiangling City, Jingzhou Prefecture, was difficult to protect, and hurriedly asked Yang Qiqi to send troops from Xiangyang to rescue him. Although Yang Qiqi led reinforcements to arrive, he still encountered the same situation as Yin Zhongkan, and the lack of food affected morale. In the end, Yang Qiqi's rescuers were also defeated by Huan Xuan. Yang Qiqi fled to Xiangyang alone and was killed by Feng, the general under Huan Xuan on the road.

Yin Zhongkan got the news of Yang Qiqi's death in battle and knew that the general situation had gone. He no longer defended Jiangling and fled from the State of Jin to look forward to Chang'an. Like Yang Qiqi, he was also killed by Huan Xuan's pursuers on his way to escape.

Since then, the whole Jingzhou has been owned by Huan Xuan alone.

"How is Yin Zhongkan's family now?" Huan Wei once served as an official under Yin Zhongkan's account. Although Yin once imprisoned Huan Wei when Huan Xuan attacked Yin Zhongkan, he was still courteous to him. Therefore, Yin Zhong died, and Huan Wei was a little sad.

"Good. Luo Qisheng, the dead man, took care of him. Huan Xuan replied.

When Huan Wei heard Huan Xuan call Luo Qisheng a "dead man", he couldn't help laughing and said, "Enterprise is not a dead man, but a loyal man."

"I will be a dead soon." Huan Xuan said angrily.

Huan Wei was stunned for a moment, stopped laughing, and immediately shook his head.

Bian Fanzhi listened to the two brothers say this and did not interrupt. He just lowered his head and didn't know what to think.

This Luo Qisheng is a consultant who joined the army under Yin Zhongkan's account. Yin Zhong, who believes in Tianshi Tao, is an honest official, but he is not good at treating others, so that when he fled from Jiangling, no one under the account was willing to follow except Luo Qisheng.

Earlier, Luo Qisheng has repeatedly adored Yin Zhongkan: Although Yang Qiqi is difficult to control, he is a martial artist and can be wise in the future. Huan Xuan is not only excellent in martial arts, but also quite resourceful. Once he has full wings, I'm afraid that Yin Zhongkan may not be able to control him. At that time, Yin Zhongkan was intoxicated with his political skills to deal with Huan and Yang and ignored it.

Luo Qisheng, who was sorely ardent, returned home and said to his brother Luo Zunsheng, "Huihou has a woman's benevolence and no heroic decision. It will be difficult in the future. I was so grateful that I couldn't bear to give up. I'm afraid I'll die in the future."

This is true.

Luo Qisheng, who fled with Yin Zhongkan, rode past his home to say goodbye to his relatives and friends. Brother Luo Zunsheng said, "I don't know when I will see you. I would like to send it hand in hand with my brother. After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Luo Qisheng.

Luo Qisheng also stretched out his hand immediately to shake his brother's hand. Unexpectedly, the younger brother took this opportunity to pull his brother off the horse. Luo Qisheng was shocked: "What does this mean?"

Luo Zun hugged him to death and said, "There is an old mother who needs my brother's support. What's the benefit of my brother going here?"

Luo Qisheng cried and said, "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. If I don't follow the Marquis, there will be no loyal person. Although my mother is old, I still have you to fulfill my filial piety. I hope my brother can do it. There is loyalty and filial piety in my family, and I can't hate it!"

Zunsheng ignored him and still hugged him tightly.

Yin Zhong saw this brother like this, sighed and rode away.

Huan Xuan knew Luo Qisheng's talent and wanted to reuse him. But Luo Qisheng vowed to keep the festival for Yin Zhong. Knowing that Huan Xuan finally intended to kill him, Luo Qisheng once said to Huan Xuan, "Emperor Wen of Jin killed Ji Kang, and his son Ji Shao was a loyal minister of Jin. May Duke Huan keep my brother as his mother!"

Now Huan Xuan calls Luo Qisheng a "dead man", and Bian Fanzhi and Huan Wei know that he must have made up his mind to kill Luo Qisheng.
