On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, at this time of the year, the people of Jinling City have begun to prepare for the New Year, every household is full of joy, the singing and dancing in the city is leveling, and even the weather will be updated. However, today this year is the day of the fall of Jinling City, and the people in the city are in a state of panic.

Sporadic fighting continued in the city, with stragglers breaking into people's homes and coercing them into hiding in cellars, or soldiers from the Northern Dynasty breaking into the doors and searching them. The people are the most innocent at this time, they are afraid of causing trouble, but some things are difficult to avoid, even the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, who have always had strict military discipline, also have several small-scale conflicts with the people, and most of the people choose to remain silent at this time. For them, life is the most important thing.

Han Jian got up very early in the morning, he slept for a total of two days, or on the morning of the 27th, he fell asleep in Fa Yi's arms, because of the war, he had no intention of resting, this is the most important war related to the conquest of the Southern Dynasty, although he won in the end, he still couldn't relax, he had to enter the city during the day, in addition to showing the power of heaven, but also to make the soldiers in the city feel at ease, and by the way, it was also the time to ask for rewards.

Han Jian, escorted by the guards, rode into the city. Before leaving, Han Jian had already ordered that someone would send Xiao Zhan into the city before noon and escort her all the way to the palace. After the celebration banquet in the afternoon, Han Jian estimated that he would go directly to the palace to Xiao Zhan's original dormitory and officially take possession of the female emperor of the Southern Dynasty. The big wedding party can be organized, and as for the wedding, it will take place in two days, but this will not affect Han Jian's gambling contract with Xiao Zhan.

Even if Han Jian didn't have a good rest for two days, when he entered the city, he was still looking forward to it, although he didn't want to make it difficult for others, but in the matter of Xiao Zhan, he asked himself if he didn't force Xiao Zhan to do anything. is a very reasonable bet, although Xiao Zhan has no feelings for him, this is just a political marriage through and through, and Han Jian is also a man, to conquer a woman, not to establish a relationship with Xiao Zhan.

Say so. But how could Han Jian be ruthless to Xiao Zhan in his heart? It's just that Han Jian knew that it would not be possible between the two of them before, and he never thought that he would have Xiao Zhan, but now he has no psychological baggage.

Fa Yi and Song Zhi'er, as Han Jian's personal entourage, will change into military uniforms and accompany Han Jian to inspect the whole city. As for Ke Qu'er, because she was making some small awkwardness with Han Jian, Han Jian didn't let her enter the city.

Although many parts of the city have not yet been completely peaceful. But Han Jian doesn't care about these anymore, what he wants to do is to stabilize people's hearts as much as possible.

When Han Jian entered the city, cards were set up in the streets everywhere, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses entering the city, because they belonged to different banners, and occasionally their own people needed to sort out the relationship. Han Jian first inquired about the battle in the palace of Jinling City last night, and learned that Zhu Tongjing's whereabouts were unknown, according to the intelligence. Zhu Tongjing should have fled from the south gate of the city in a hurry with his guards before the end of the war. Han Jian calculated the time when Zhu Tongjing would go out of the city and the direction of travel. It is estimated that Zhu Tongjing at this time may have fallen into the hands of Sima Yi, so Zhu Tongjing will be "unlucky".

At the beginning, Zhu Tongjing imprisoned Sima Yi for a year, which was an important reason for Sima Yu's change of personality, even if Sima Yu was not a person who had to fight, but probably would not easily let go of the culprit who imprisoned him in the first place.

"And find other members of the royal family?" Han Jian asked.

According to Han Jian's investigation, Empress Dowager He and Xiao Zhan's younger brother are also in Zhu Tongjing's hands. But after the war. The whereabouts of the two men are also unknown, as fires have burned to death in some of the palaces, and it is unclear whether any of them were members of the royal family.

Before he got a definite answer, Han Jian needed to make strategic arrangements.

Jinling City was conquered. The next step is to wave troops south, first take Hangzhou, and then go all the way south to pacify the Lingnan lands. But before, Han Jian would wait for a while, he would wait for Su Tingxia to fight with Sima Yi first, and then he would send troops after the year.

However, on the day of the capture of Jinling City, Han Jian took Zhang Xing as the vanguard marshal and led the troops to receive the counties around Jinling City, which was also Zhu Tongjing's last force outside Jinling City.

Before noon, Han Jian had already walked to many places in the city. By noon, Han Jian met his No. 1 general and generalissimo Lin Zhan of the Wei Dynasty at the Yamen of the Military Department in the west of Jinling City.

Han Jian hadn't met Lin Zhan for a long time, but his former good friends, now one was the emperor and the other was a famous general, and his status was still respectful and humble, and Lin Zhan was very respectful to Han Jian.

Unlike Su Tingxia, Lin Zhan does not have too much ambition for power, his long-standing wish is to be able to make contributions on the battlefield, and now he has got his wish, his sister married Han Jian as a concubine, and now Lin Xiaoshu is already a concubine. His little nephew Lin Xiaoyun also led the troops to attack Shuzhong, and this attack on Jinling City made meritorious contributions, although Lin Xiaoyun was already a general in the first battle against Xianbei, and he has not been promoted until now, but Lin Xiaoyun is young after all, and there will be a chance to be promoted in the future.

"Brother Lin, in the battle of Jinling City, I'm afraid I will give you the first credit." Han Jian smiled and patted Lin Zhan's shoulder. This is a way for Han Jian, the king, to show his closeness to his courtiers.

Lin Zhan's attitude was respectful, he was no longer able to talk to Han Jian with the courtesy of his peers, although he had no intention of power, but he also knew the truth of the bird's bow, but Han Jian's trust in Lin Zhan exceeded that of any of the generals under him.

At noon, Han Jian gathered all the generals under Lin Zhan together for the first time, and the main discussion was to ask for rewards for meritorious service.

Lin Zhan will make a detailed list of his exploits, and as for the property, money and food in the treasury of Jinling City, they have been sealed, and these will be used as a reward for the soldiers. Even the property obtained from the palace last night was all moved to the inner treasury of the Jinling Palace, and many of these treasures will be transported to Jiangdu, and even to Luoyang.

Han Jian faced the generals present, raised his teacup and said, "Everyone, I am grateful for your contribution to the imperial court by replacing wine with tea." In the first war against the south, the journey of a thousand miles is only the last step, and I hope that you can continue to build immortal deeds and return victorious. ”

"Your Majesty."

The generals present also used tea instead of wine to pay tribute to Han Jian.

After drinking tea, Han Jian stepped forward one by one to greet him and advise him. There are many middle-level generals who even meet Han Jian for the first time. The king's reception is considered a very high honor for the soldiers, and after the reception, some generals will go out on duty, and some will directly lead the troops out of the city. Although the city of Jinling has fallen, the war is not over. Zhu Tongjing still has a certain amount of remnant strength, as well as Sima Qi's main force of the Chinese army, and Su Tingxia, an internal trouble that has not been eradicated.

After sending these generals away, Han Jian sat down with Lin Zhan and talked in detail, focusing on the issue of Su Tingxia.

“…… Your Majesty may write to him and persuade him to surrender...... You don't have to make a big deal about it. Lin Zhan was very cautious about Su Tingxia's affairs, and he didn't want to start an internal war after the world was smooth.

Han Jian smiled: "It's too early to talk about these things at this time, if he can stop the precipice." It's not a bad thing. ”

Han Jian also said the plan for the use of troops in Hangzhou City, and Lin Zhan basically bowed to his orders. After the capture of Jinling City, the Wei Dynasty pacified the biggest enemy in the world, but instead became Sima Yu, who was a native of the Northern Dynasty, which Han Jian did not expect at first.

Sima Yi's current strength seems to be weak, but Sima Qi can be a "self-made man", he has grown from no soldier to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses today. If he continues to develop like this, it is not known who will die in the end.

Han Jian said: "I originally planned to hold a celebration banquet. Drink with the crowd, but now it seems that the world is not peaceful, and this celebration banquet will wait until after the world is established. ”

Lin Zhan saluted and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

Han Jian got up and went with Lin Zhan to the yamen of the military department.

In the afternoon to inspect the city defense, Han Jian will let Lin Zhan go with him. It is also to show the soldiers the good relationship between their monarchs and ministers, so that the soldiers can feel at ease.

The final battle reports everywhere will also continue to reach Han Jian's ears. The inner city of Jinling City was pacified earlier than the outer city, and now there are still some remnants of Zhu Tongjing's soldiers and horses in the outer city of Jinling City. But they were all in ruins, and there were still some deserters hiding among the houses in the inner city, and now the soldiers were going from house to house to make sure that no fish had slipped through the net.

By the time Shen arrived, it was already approaching dusk in winter, Han Jian thought that he would be "lucky" to Yu Xiao Zhan at night, and suddenly had a little more expectation in his heart, and after explaining to Lin Zhan, Han Jian said goodbye to him, Lin Zhan would go out of the city to his Chinese army camp, and after a few days of rest, Lin Zhan would lead his troops south.

Han Jian watched Lin Zhan go away before getting on the horse and beckoning Fa Yi and Song Zhi'er to enter the palace of the Qi Dynasty together.

Han Jian is not the first time to come to Jinling City, he especially walked some streets that he often walked when he was in Jinling City, at that time, he racked his brains to think about how to leave Jinling, and he also studied the layout of the streets of Jinling City very thoroughly, including the fact that he and Ke Qu'er went together to assassinate the leaders of local evil forces, and also included that he was able to leave Jinling City safely in the end, all of which were Cao Gang. And this time, he was able to successfully attack Jinling City, and there was also the Cao Gang behind him. But Han Jian didn't go to see these old friends of the Cao Gang, because now that his identity is different, all he can do is to give these people glory and wealth, and many things don't need to be mentioned again since they have passed.

When Han Jian arrived at the gate of the palace, he felt a little strange. Although he had been to Jinling once, he had never entered the palace of Jinling City, and before he entered the palace, he was plotted by Xie Rumo to escape from the fire.

It was the first time he had visited the palace in Jinling City, but only as the master. At this time, the inside and outside of the palace were all occupied by Jiangdu's soldiers, and each gate was very tightly guarded.

When Han Jian entered the palace, these soldiers were all in good spirits, after all, it was the emperor's visit, and it was also a glorious moment for them. Han Jian didn't affect the sentry of these soldiers, what he needed to do was to nod slightly in approval, to maintain the prestige of the emperor, and to let the soldiers feel his concern.

Under the guidance of the guards, Han Jian first went to the palace hall, which was originally the place where Han Jian planned to hold a celebration banquet.

The palace hall was deserted, but there were still some remaining blood stains on the ground, which should have been left during the bloody battle in the palace yesterday. Han Jian looked around, did not see a palace person, asked only to know that when Zhu Tongjing captured Jinling City, the palace people were scattered, Zhu Tongjing had no intention of expanding the number of palace people in the palace after taking power, after this battle, the palace of Jinling City seemed even more empty.

"Your Majesty, the princess is ready."

After Han Jian just retired from the guards, a female official came in. When Han Jian heard these words, a knowing smile appeared on his face, this battle was not only to conquer the world, but also to conquer Xiao Zhan. Although there is still a way to go to conquer the world, the conquest of Xiao Zhan is a matter of course.

Fa Ye came over and asked, "Do you need a concubine to accompany Your Majesty?" ”

Han Jian smiled bitterly and replied, "It's not good. ”

Fa also reminded: "Then Your Majesty should come back early, and don't stay overnight." ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, he knew what Fa Yi was talking about.

Although Han Jian now occupies Xiao Zhan, he is still a little far away from conquest, Xiao Zhan may not resist Han Jian's aggression against her, but the key problem is that if Han Jian stays in Xiao Zhan's residence, Xiao Zhan may be unfavorable to Han Jian, and with Xiao Jian's stubbornness, he is likely to have a "jade burning" with Han Jian.

Han Jian wanted to go over, but Fa Yi was still not very relieved, and reminded: "Let Zhi'er accompany Your Majesty, Zhi'er, this girl is good and will not be easily noticed by the princess." I believe that she does not dare to disturb His Majesty's good deeds. ”

Song Zhi'er lowered her head, now that Han Jian was going to say goodbye to the woman and let her protect her, of course she didn't have a good feeling in her heart. But she nodded and said she would get the job done.

Han Jian smiled: "No need. ”

Fa Yi didn't say anything.

Fa Yi and Song Zhi'er accompanied Han Jian out of the palace hall, they would stay in the palace that night, and the next morning they would accompany Han Jian out of the city. Xiao Zhan will stay in the palace and wait for the completion of the wedding ceremony with Han Jian two days later, as for Han Jian's next arrangement, he did not say anything to the women around him, and Fa will not ask.

Han Jian first accompanied Fa Yi and Song Zhi'er to the palace where they stayed, which was the residence of the concubines in the palace of the Southern Dynasty in the past. Fa Yi originally wanted to leave Han Jian to have dinner together, but Han Jian was worried about the good things with Xiao Zhan, so how could he be in the mood to stay?

"It's not too late for me to eat after I'm over." Han Jian said with a smile.

Fa Yi glanced at Han Jian lightly and said, "I'm afraid that after Your Majesty passes, you won't remember to take care of your body......"

Han Jian smiled: "How come? ”

Fa Ye didn't continue, and personally sent Han Jian to the door.

Although she didn't agree with Han Jian and Xiao Zhan in her heart, she knew that this was an important step for Han Jian to conquer the Southern Dynasty, and she would not stop it. (To be continued.) )
