After two slightly dull sounds, Huan Yi frowned and stood up immediately.
He quickly opened the door, and this time, he was lucky.
"Uncle, please stop running!"
Right in front of Huan Yi, a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated body was taking long steps to escape quickly.
But this time, I was not as lucky as in the hut.
Tsk tsk tsk...
How could it have been discovered?
Huan Yi is a child who never knows how to save face for his uncle.
The middle-aged man stopped but did not look back.
It's such a loss of face. If the two of them were to face each other, how would a man face his junior?
"Uncle, since you didn't leave, you just wanted to help, so why do you need to hide your tracks?"
Huan Yi was a kind man. Seeing his hesitation, he persuaded him again.
Without stopping, he slowly approached.
The middle-aged man scratched his neck: "I can't show up!"
"I'm just here to get my things back!"
He held a lamb pendant in his hand. It was because of this pendant that Huan Yi recognized his owner.
"Uncle, for the sake of me returning this pendant to you, you can't be so disrespectful."
Huan Yi slowly approached, and the man had no choice but to turn around.
He has a square face, a wide mouth and a straight nose, and he has a simple and honest appearance. If this man had not been an official or a general, people would probably think that he was a businessman just by looking at his face.
That’s right!
In front of Huan Yi, the awkward middle-aged man whom he called uncle was none other than General Huan Chong!
"Uncle is a nostalgic person. After all these years, you still keep the little pendant that Uncle Yang gave you."
This lamb pendant is only made of silver and is quite exquisite in shape, but it is not valuable. Huan Chong cherishes this object so much and hangs it on his body every day because of a story in his childhood.
As the younger brother of Huan Xuanwu (Huan Wen), when Huan Chong was a child, the Huan family had a very poor period. At that time, Huan Wen's father died early, and the family was extremely poor. Huan Wen's mother was seriously ill. After seeing it, the doctor said that it was
She wanted to use mutton to make medicine. However, the Huan family of Qiao County, a large family in Jingzhou and the leader among the indigenous people, could not even afford to buy a sheep at this time.
Because his father died early, the family could only rely on the eldest brother Huan Wen to support him. Huan Wen was a filial man. He thought that his mother must recover, but he could not get the money to buy sheep.
What to do, he planned to sell his younger brother, and the one who was unfortunately chosen was Huan Chong, the youngest child.
There is no father in the family and there are so many children who cannot be raised anyway. Maybe it would be a good thing for Huan Chong to send them to someone else's home.
Huan Wen took Xiao Huan and rushed to the home of a big sheep farmer. When he told him the reason, the big farmer shook his head and waved his hands, firmly refusing.
This is what he said: "It is a rare talent to buy a delang (Huan Chong's nickname), how can he be sold to my house?"
"You can give away the sheep for free, but it would be better for Xiao Lang to go back to Huan Mansion!"
It is precisely because of this kind of fate that Huan Chong was grateful to this big sheep farmer who generously donated money and did not take advantage of the situation, and he has never forgotten it for many years.
Later, when Huan Wen died, Huan Chong took command of the Jingzhou soldiers. When passing by his hometown, he met this big sheep farmer by the roadside.
When Dahu saw Huan Chong riding a horse with a majestic appearance, he immediately came up to meet him, and Huan Chong didn't show any pretense.
The two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Huan Chong also gave the big sheep farmer a lot of rewards. The big sheep farmer gave Huan Chong this small silver pendant.
Therefore, although this thing is not valuable, it really has special commemorative significance for Huan Chong, otherwise he would not still wear it every day even though he is old.
Only a few people in the Huan family knew about this matter. As for Xie Xuan and the others, they didn't even notice that there was such an inconspicuous little pendant on Huan Chong's waist.
"So, you recognize me when you see this pendant?"
Huan Chong followed Huan Yi to his room and sat down for a while. He had no choice but to keep such a big target there. It would be even more embarrassing if someone discovered him.
Huan Yi just found the old man's eccentricity quite interesting, poured him a full cup of tea, and then told the truth.
"Of course, uncle, you still have to thank me. If I hadn't discovered it first, and if Shi Qian and the others had seen it, you would have been exposed immediately."
"With his impulsive personality, he will definitely lead people to look for you everywhere."
Huan Chong took a sip, his eyes dim.
"That's right. If I hadn't heard that the ornament was in your hand, I wouldn't have come to pick it up."
The lamb pendant was in Huan Yi's hand. This news was naturally revealed by Liu Chun. Ever since he let Liu Chun go, Huan Yi had made plans with him.
It was precisely because he considered that Huan Yi was a decent person that Huan Chong started to think about it, but he did not expect that Huan Yi would also plot against him.
Thinking that these juniors might not be laughing at him in their hearts, Huan Chong couldn't hold back his breath. He complained one after another, and for those who didn't know, he thought it was Huan Yi who had made a mistake.
"Uncle, I know you feel aggrieved, and I also know that you have the desire to serve the country, but I really don't understand why you are here at Yuanjiang Garrison now that you have surrendered your bail."
"Could it be that what you sent to the court at the beginning was false news?"
"To confuse the enemy?"
As soon as Huan Yi said this, he himself became confused.
It seems impossible. If Huan Chong really wanted to lure the enemy deeper, then he would never let the Liang Cheng brothers into Jingling.
Many of Huan Chong's behaviors cannot be explained by normal reasons.
Then, you can only listen to his own explanation.
Huan Yi's eyes were watery. He had always been a person with a gentle face and gentler temperament. He was just such a person, and now he was staring at Huan Chong with that encouraging look.
Huan Chong was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't resist Huan Yi's eye attack.
"What you're trying to do to confuse the enemy is just to get there halfway and regret it again!"
Huan Yi was speechless. This explanation was really... unexpected.
"Uncle, please explain carefully." Since he couldn't figure it out after much thought, Huan Yi could only give up using his brain and ask Huan Chong for the answer.
Huan Chong sighed repeatedly, and finally slowly recounted the chaos of those days.
There is no need to have high expectations for Huan Chong. As soon as he heard that Murong Chui was coming from Xinye to rescue Xiangyang City, he backed down.
At that time, Huan Chong's location was slightly closer to Xiangyang City than the location of Yuanjiang garrison. In other words, in fact, Huan Chong's Jingzhou troops were invincible before they even reached the outskirts of Xiangyang.
Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been caught by Murong Chui. Not only would the entire army be wiped out, but their vitality would also be severely damaged.
However, everyone has a face, even a coward like Huan Chong.
Strictly speaking, it cannot be said that in order to escape for his own life, he paid no attention to the safety of the city behind Xiangyang. When he led the army all the way south, he specially divided his troops and asked Huan Shiqian and others to take them to support Jingling.
As a veteran general, how could Huan Chong not know that once he was unable to effectively attack Xiangyang, Fu Rui and Murong Chui's army, who came to rescue Xiangyang, would send their troops south. Jingling City, the closest military town to Xiangyang, would be in danger!
However, despite all the preparations he had made, Huan Chong still felt uncomfortable when he was halfway there. He ran away every time he fell down, and he couldn't run every time!
After all, he commanded the Jingzhou soldiers and inherited his ancestral legacy. Although the inability to carry out combat intentions to the end has always been the traditional skill of the Huan family, but who said that Huan Chong would definitely make the same mistake again?
So, when the army reached Yuanjiang garrison, Huan Chong led his soldiers to garrison, and of course his favorite general Liu Chun.
