Chapter 12 The Underrated Huan Chong
Huan Chong was a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was the younger brother of Grand Marshal Huan Wen and the uncle of Huan Xuan.
Among Huan Wen's brothers, Huan Chong was the most profound and had military talents, and was highly valued by Huan Wen.
Huan Wen's prince Huan Xi had weak talents, so when Huan Wen was seriously ill, Huan Wen ordered his subordinates to become the new generation of heads of the Huan Family Group, which was at its peak.
Huan Chong is actually an underrated general. He was sandwiched between his brother Huan Wen's nephew Huan Xuan, two treacherous heroes, and was blocked inconspicuously. In the famous battle of Feishui with fewer and more, he was blocked by the Xie family of Chenjun.
Because of the above, Huan Chong became less famous.
In fact, if you remove these annoying lights, you will see that Huan Chong is indeed a very not simple person.
Unlike his brother who was able to abolish the emperor and establish a new king, who was ambitious to add Jiuxi to seek usurp the throne, Huan Chong knew the general, was loyal to the royal family, was willing to sacrifice his own interests, and also had to consider the country.
In the third year of Yongkang, Xie An was a fashionable book servant who was assisting the government and had a great reputation. Huan Chong thought that his temperament and cultivation were not as good as Xie An, and he was a general and his military talents were not as good as the prime minister. So Xie was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou and gave it to Xie An, and asked to leave the town himself.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the governor of Yangzhou was in control of the capital and had a very strong position, but he did not feel sorry for this.
On the eve of the Battle of Feishui, he led 100,000 troops from the Ming Dynasty to attack the Former Qin Dynasty, attacked Xiangyang, and captured many cities.
Although he was later infected by many epidemics in the army and was hit by Murong Chui's bluff, this Northern Expedition effectively consumed the vitality of the Former Qin Dynasty.
After the Battle of Feishui officially began, he blocked and dispersed Fu Rong and Murong Chui's forward in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the Yizhou naval army led by Yao Chang, strongly supported the front battlefield.
If it weren't for his strong support, it was between the two to say whether Xie An and Xie Xuan could shine brightly in the Battle of Feishui.
Huan Chong was upright. When he learned that the Former Qin King Fu Jian led a million troops south to attack Jin, with the focus on Jingkou, while the Xie family group had less than 100,000 troops. While dealing with many attacks, he forced three thousand elite troops to support and guard the capital, but was sent back by Xie An.
Because the troops between the Former Qin and the Eastern Jin Dynasty were not proportional at all, he was not optimistic about this war and had no expectations for the response measures of Xie An and Xie Xuan and others to resist the Former Qin Dynasty.
Especially after the troops sent were returned, Xie Xuan and others were even more unintentional young men and believed that they would be defeated in this battle and that they would also be ruled by the Hu tribe.
However, the result was surprising. Not long after, Xie Xuan defeated the Former Qin army at Feishui and won the famous Battle of Feishui. Huan Chong felt that he was speechless.
He was also arrested because he tried to defend the country and the close cooperation of Zhu Xu was arrested with the fall of Xiangyang City. During this battle, Zhu Xu and Xie Xuan and others secretly cooperated, defeating the Former Qin Dynasty and successfully returning home, and felt even more ashamed.
In shame and anger, in the second year, February of the 9th year of Taihe, the Battle of Feishui passed away less than five months after the end of the battle.
The hidden task of Touch is to change Huan Chong's fate. It is now April of the eighth year of Taiyuan, which means that Huan Chong will die in less than ten months.
According to some information given by the system, Wang Qing carefully analyzed it and concluded that the so-called change of destiny is to prevent Huan Chong from dying early.
The approach is to enhance Huan Chong's confidence and prevent him from having too much pessimism about this war.
It's simple to say, but not easy to do. If Wang Qing was not a later generation who knew the result of the war at this time and was at an absolute disadvantage at this time, he would be more pessimistic than Huan Chong.
After all, the Former Qin had swept the north at this time, carrying the power of hundreds of battles, and carrying millions of people to move south. The troops were invincible, which was far beyond the reach of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
It is normal for Huan Chong to have such an idea. Even Xie An, who has always pretended to be calm and gentle, has no confidence in his heart.
After all, Fu Jian’s great defeat this time was really a huge accidental factor.
I just tried Wang Qing according to the body strengthening technique assigned by the old patriarch of the Peach Blossom Spring, wiped away the sweat from my face, and looked at my subordinates who were transporting food and grass, and my mind had already run away from the sky.
In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the weather is no longer cold, especially as these 300 stepmen are constantly transporting food and grass, they are sweating all over.
The heavy grain and grass, combined with the weight of nearly 200 kilograms of black charcoal, made the simple wooden bridge built on the river creak.
Wang Qing, who was disturbed by his thoughts, came back to his senses and cursed with a smile: "Hei Tan, you can't carry less at a time! If the bridge is crushed, there will be more delays!"
He grinned and said, "I have great strength, so I have to carry more. This bridge is strong and I am not afraid of pressure!"
As he said that, he carried the grain bag and went to the other side with the squeaking sound of the wooden bridge.
"This stupid guy!"
Wang Qing smiled and cursed, then looked elsewhere.
Hei Tan is Hei Fu's brother. Maybe because he was entangled in the Peach Blossom Land for too long, now that he has been out for a while, he has become a little enlightened.
Because Wang Qing had a good relationship with Hei Fu's family, Hei Tan was even more obedient to Wang Qingyan and was brave enough to resist ordinary people, so after becoming the owner of the banner, Wang Qing promoted Hei Tan to his deputy.
"Shandanzi! If you dare to drink raw water, I will see that I will not peel your skin!"
Wang Qing's voice suddenly sounded, and a man lying by the stream drinking water was suddenly shocked. He quickly stood up, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and smiled foolishly, until Wang Qing went over and kicked him the water hyacinth hanging around his waist, and then the soldier took the bag of food and ran to the other side.
"Oh!" Looking at the scene in front of you, Wang Qing couldn't help but sigh.
After having an agreement with the old patriarch that night, he pulled up the huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave overnight and informed the chief clerk outside that he had accomplished his affairs.
Then two people from the Peach Blossom Land went out to lead the way, and the chief clerk sent someone to tell the prefect the news.
Three days later, the prefect Liu Guang went there in person and agreed on various matters, and the two sides signed an oath.
Then Wang Qing led the three hundred men who were half-spicy in Peach Blossom Land to Wuling County with the prefect. After meeting with the previous seven hundred men, he was sent to the location where Huan Chong was guarding, Shangming.
After arriving here, the treatment received was different from what I imagined. These newly recruited soldiers basically did not receive formal training and were all assigned to work, and they directly treated people as livestock.
There were also many people who were not even equipped with basic armored weapons and were sent directly to the army and followed the army to the front line.
