When Cui Heng came to deliver food to Huo Qubing, the young man was staring down at the jade tiger in his hand without saying a word.
"The army is so tired from traveling and traveling, why can't they rest even though it's late at night?" Cui Heng handed over a water bag.
Huo Qubing took it and continued to look at the jade tiger in his hand.
This is the tiger talisman that his father gave him before he was sent away. It can mobilize all the troops of the Huo family.
He passed on his mantle.
"It's getting late. Brother Yu Zhi, please go and rest early. You have to rush back to Kuaiji County tomorrow morning." Huo Qubing said hoarsely.
"Shi Le has been executed, and the bodies of Governor Huo and those soldiers will be transported back to their hometown by us. You will soon meet your two brothers at home. If they see your unshaven appearance, they will feel distressed.
"
Cui Heng Wen Sheng,
"Cheer up, uncover the secrets, and avenge Governor Huo."
Huo Qubing's pupils trembled fiercely.
Yes, he should cheer up and avenge his father.
The young man put away the tiger talisman and hid it tightly in his chest. He picked up the water bag and took a swig.
On October 30, the army returned to Kuaiji County.
Cui Heng returned to Beijing to resume his duties, while Huo Qubing took the corpses of the soldiers and buried them in his hometown.
Later, the three Huo brothers held a funeral for Governor Huo.
The common people all knew that the Huo family army was annihilated in order to resist the Donghu people, so they mourned him with loud tears.
On the same day, Xie Yuan and others also returned to Kuaiji County from Shouchun to attend the funeral.
When Xie Yuan saw Huo Qubing again, he did not have the unshaven beard and dejected look on his face as he had imagined, but instead had a burning gaze - he looked exactly like the young Governor Huo.
Xie Yuan took a look at Governor Huo's body in the coffin and couldn't help but feel regretful.
Such a good person died in Shi Le's hands.
After Huo Dudu was buried, Huo Quji, Huo's eldest son, succeeded him as the head of the family and inherited the title of Marquis left by Huo Dudu.
Huo Qubing, on the other hand, inherited the 200,000 troops left by Governor Huo.
But he did not return to the army immediately.
Because he has to observe mourning for three years.
Then he returned to Shouchun with Xie Yuan.
On the way back, Xie Yuan mentioned that Governor Huo was intercepted, and Huo Qubing couldn't help but say: "My lord, before I sent me away, my father once told me that Da Jin has something special to do..."
It was only after Xiao Zuo revealed his father's itinerary that Nalaoshi's son Shi Le intercepted him halfway, and that led to the annihilation of his entire Huo family's army.
Xie Yuan's eyes darkened.
All the fine works of the barbarians were mixed up in the Jin Dynasty?
"Who else knows about this?" Xie Yuan asked.
"In addition to Brother Yuzhi and me, there is also the young man of the Huan family, so only the master knows about it."
Huo Qubing couldn't help but get red-eyed thinking about Governor Huo's death.
Just thinking that Governor Huo didn't like the man's tears, the young man gritted his teeth to prevent the tears from rolling down his eyes.
Xie Yuan patted Huo Qubing's shoulder and said comfortingly: "When the young man from the Huan family comes back, I will discuss with him how to find out the details. During this time, you can have a good rest."
"The matter of forging counterfeit coins..."
"We already have some clues. According to the report of the informant I released, these counterfeit coins passed through the hands of the descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan when they were sent from the bank to the gambling house."
Huo Qubing was stunned.
Taiyuan Wang family? Why are they like this gang again?
Then everyone returned to Shouchun.
On the other side, after Huan Feng occupied Liangzhou, he planned to go back and attack other places.
However, those people all united, so Huan Feng had no choice but to stand still.
It was also at that time that he received a letter from home saying that Wang Dazai seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for the Huan family's descendants who were serving as officials in the court.
Then the class teacher returned to the court.
On November 8th, Huan Feng made a triumphant return.
After this young man returned to Jiankang, he showed off his military exploits and coerced Wang Dazai and Lu Zhong to worship him as Taiwei.
The Taiwei was in charge of the military and horse power of the dynasty, and was the highest and most powerful military attache in the Jin Dynasty.
From the moment Huan Feng became Taiwei, everyone tacitly understood one thing.
A new powerful official appears, and the court is about to change.
as expected.
After Huan Feng came to power, he generously rewarded the children of the Huan family - in addition, he also supported the nobles surnamed Wu and poor families in ascending to the throne, and even promoted many children from poor families who came from Longgang Academy and appointed them as officials in Jiankang.
At the same time, the status of the Qiaoguo Huan family also increased, and even gradually replaced the Wang family, becoming a top aristocratic family with overwhelming power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
During the period when Huan Feng was in power, the Huan family of Qiao State gradually formed numerous branches, among which the Longkang Huan family was the most famous.
Most of the children from the Longkanghuan family entered the court and became officials.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After Huan Feng took power and challenged Wang Dazai, he went to Shouchun, Huainan County in person to pay homage to Xie Yuan.
He wanted to invite him to join the court as an official and work with him to govern the world and manage this troubled world.
Xie Yuan declined. This chapter has been completed!
