Daxi Liu obviously has the intention of withdrawing from the intelligence system, Han Jian can probably understand her state of mind, Han Jian has also considered letting Daxi Liu quit before, but the problem is that no one can take over, the most suitable person to take over the intelligence work is the experienced Yi Die, but after he ascended the throne, Yi Die did not say goodbye and his whereabouts are unknown, if you want to say that Han Jian's heart for Yi Die has been possessive from the beginning, but now he is a little stunned when he thinks about it, Yi Die still has some status in his heart.

Han Jian didn't mention anything else, but asked Daxiliu about some information, because Daxiliu had just come from Luoyang, although she also got a lot of information along the way, but she still had to summarize before she could report to Han Jianshu, Han Jian first asked Daxiliu to rest, and when Daxiliu withdrew from the hall, Han Jian suddenly felt that Daxiliu's centrifugation was already very heavy. It's a pity that he has never been able to penetrate this woman's heart, since the first day Da Xiliu was responsible for investigating intelligence for the East Palace, she has a kind of introverted and cautious that is unusual to ordinary people, even if Han Jian once hinted that he would welcome her into the East Palace, he also refused tactfully for Da Xiliu, there are so many women on Han Jian's side, only Da Xiliu can really refuse him, and even Da Xiliu's godmother Mrs. Luo can't do it.

Da Xiliu left, and Fa Yi came out again, after all, it was the person next to the pillow who didn't deliberately figure out what Han Jian meant, and he also felt that Han Jian seemed to be unhappy in his heart. This should be for the big Nishiyanagi who came just now, she didn't mention it because she knew that the matter had nothing to do with her, but she was still a woman, and she would always have some mind in her heart. Fortunately, Han Jian is also enough to understand Fa Yi's state of mind, and use his thoughtfulness to make Fa not think too much. Han Jian deliberately kept the women around him calm and indifferent in their state of mind, and did not let them have the energy to think more about worldly things, Han Jian hoped that they could maintain a normal heart.

On April 24, after the soldiers and horses had been stationed in Shangzhou for four days, Han Jian reconsidered the issue of sending troops. The front in the north was very long, and even the Xianbei themselves did not turn to a focused attack. Even if Xianbei had achieved a huge advantage on some battlefields, this advantage did not translate into victory on the entire battlefield, but it was the best battle of the Xianbei people who could defeat the defenders of the Central Plains, that is, the battle of the Khan King on the left under Beichuan City was defeated, which made the battlefield situation still in a relative balance of power, but the defense line of Beiguan has gradually become precarious.

Han Jian after sending troops from Sangju. It doesn't take two days to confront the soldiers and horses of Xianbei. But judging from the news from the front, Xianbei's men and horses have been withdrawing their troops to avoid fighting with Han Jian's main Chinese army, Xianbei has had clashes with Han Qi'er and other local soldiers and horses, and the Xianbei people have gained a huge advantage, but the Xianbei people cannot directly exterminate Han Qi'er and other local soldiers and horses, so that Han Jian has the opportunity to gather local people and horses for the use of the imperial court. After sending troops, Han Jian sent people to "recruit" Han Qier and other people, but they were quickly refused. Han Qi'er and other local people were also exterminated by the imperial court soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, so they simply chose to avoid the war like the Xianbei pioneers, and even moved the base camp out of Shangzhou. Even if Han Jian wanted to send people to chase after him, it would be too late.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about local thieves now. Our army should stick to it, wait for the Xianbei barbarians to kill no piece of armor, and then return to the army to remove the local disasters together, so as to ensure the stability of the north. "What the strategists below say is only on paper. Now Han Jian wants to gather the local people, but unfortunately, even if the local people and the Xianbei people are incompatible. But he didn't want to surrender to the imperial court, and Han Jian, the emperor, was not recognized by more people. This also made Han Jian's situation in the north very embarrassing.

Han Jian has 50,000 horses, and it seems that he is strong and strong, so the Xianbei people chose to avoid the war and did not give Han Jian any chance to regain the heart of the army in any battle. But Han Jian also knew that his men and horses were still a ragtag army, and the people in the team who were recruited had already slowed down the pace of the army, and in a few days they were detected by the Xianbei scouts. Far from avoiding battle, the Xianbei people may also send cavalry to harass them, or even use large numbers of soldiers and horses to try to fight a decisive battle. At that time, Han Jian will have to whine, even if there are heavy cavalry, but after all, there are only three or four thousand. Moreover, the soldiers lacked actual combat experience, and in the case of being attacked by Xianbei light cavalry, they were almost waiting for death on the targets of the stakes. Han Jian didn't believe how powerful his people were, so Han Jian now tried his best to take advantage of the fact that the Xianbei people still didn't know his reality, first won one or two victories, and then stationed down to fight steadily.

Han Jian originally wanted to bring Han Qier and the others together, but now it seems that it will not work. Han Jian simply chose the most daring way and divided his troops to attack, since the Xianbei people did not want to engage his Chinese army head-on, Han Jian simply put on a posture of "lightly attacking the enemy", scattering his troops and horses, and it was not easy for the Xianbei scouts to find out.

On April 26, Su Tingxia's men and horses fought with the Xianbei people in Beiguan, Su Tingxia's men and horses were forced into the city of Kangzhou by the men and horses of the Xianbei right Khan King in the case of taking the lead, and it was also Su Tingxia's previous victories that made him a little unavoidable, and actually came into contact with the men and horses of the Xianbei right Khan King. Although in the Xianbei soldiers and horses, the men and horses of the right Khan King have always been slightly inferior to the iron cavalry of the left Khan King, but after all, it is also the elite of Xianbei, Su Tingxia only has more than 10,000 horses, and after being forced to Kangcheng by more than 6,000 soldiers and horses of the right Khan King, because of the lack of food and grass support, he can only ask for help from the Chinese army on Han Jian's side.

Han Jianzhong's army was more than 300 miles away from Kangcheng, and it would take at least two or three days to rush to help. Han Jian originally wanted to try to collect the local people again, but at this time, he couldn't sit back and watch the entire army of Su Tingxia's troops be wiped out, because in addition to the 6,000 elite cavalry of the Khan King on the right, there were also 10,000 or 20,000 people and horses from various departments who were moving closer to Kangcheng.

On April 29, Han Jian sent troops to the direction of Kangcheng, still according to the previous plan, the troops were divided into three routes, of which the men and horses on the two wings were relatively elite, and the Chinese army in the back was mixed with a large number of people who had no combat effectiveness, and Han Jian was also in case his Chinese army was harassed by surprise attacks. In addition, Han Jian's men and horses are still escorting a lot of grain and grass, if there is a problem with the Chinese army, the entire northern soldiers may have to starve to death.

On the first day of the fifth month, the soldiers and horses on the two wings were less than a hundred miles away from Kangcheng, and the men and horses of the Khan King on the right were ready to take Kangcheng before the arrival of Han Jian's army. And after the defeat of Beichuan in the First World War. The Xianbei people also need a big victory to stabilize the morale of the army, but the Xianbei people obviously underestimate the strength of Su Tingxia's department, such a hungry wolf that is more ferocious than the robbers, even if it is besieged by the Xianbei cavalry, it can still stabilize the morale of the army. Because these people know that as long as the war is defeated, no one will live. If you don't succeed, you can only stick to Cannes.

On the second day of the fifth month, Han Jianzhong's army also arrived within the range of Kangcheng, and the men and horses of the Khan King on the right side of Xianbei found that after a day of siege, they found that they had little effect, and the Xianbei people were only good at fighting on the plains, and the problem of their lack of baggage in the siege was even more prominent, and it was impossible for the cavalry to attack the city. Plus Han Jian's Chinese army is approaching. At this time, the Xianbei people were afraid of the heavy cavalry that could annihilate the entire army of the 3,000 iron cavalry of the left Khan, so on the night of the second day of the fifth month, the men and horses of the right Khan of Xianbei chose to withdraw their troops.

Su Tingxia's troops finally got a respite, but because of this war, Su Tingxia's troops lost control of the Northern Guandong Front, and there was the deterrence of the Khan King of Xianbei's right. This also caused many defensive border passes on the North Kanto Eastern Front to be lost at one time. It is equivalent to opening a big gap, and the Xianbei cavalry can continuously go around the defense area of Lin Zhan's department to launch front and back flanking attacks.

Han Jian issued an order to reprimand Su Tingxia for his rash actions. This can be regarded as showing his posture to the whole army, even if Su Tingxia was picked up by him, this time Su Tingxia went north and was also appointed by him, but in the case of defeat in the war, even the commander of the Chinese army will be reprimanded, and even be held accountable afterwards. But Han Jian can't change the coach before the formation yet. The special composition of Su Tingxia's department makes it impossible for anyone to control such a group of "thief soldiers", and only Su Tingxia, the thief leader, can deter this group of people. Therefore, Han Jian's reprimand was just a gesture. Although the Northern Guandong Front had lost a lot of passes, Su Tingxia's Chinese army did not suffer too many losses, and Han Jian had already led his Chinese army to the Beiguan line. The Xianbei people did not dare to send a large number of men and horses to attack around the rear at one time, because this would also make the men and horses behind the Xianbei circle lose their logistical support.

Han Jian now has to find a way to defeat the men and horses of the Khan King of Xianbei's right, only in this way can the Xianbei people be completely deterred. The men and horses prepared by Xianbei to attack the Central Plains this time were more than 200,000, but most of them were people and horses from various tribes, and there were only three or four Xianbei people who really had large-scale combat effectiveness. One of the men and horses of the left Khan has been crippled under Beichuan City, and the left Khan King without iron cavalry is no longer a concern, and now the right Khan is gaining momentum, occupying the key pass of the North Guandong Front, and it is also the Xianbei Department that has gained the most in this war.

In addition to ordering a reprimand for Su Tingxia, Han Jian also asked people to send grain, grass and supplies, and sent Su Tingxia to immediately send troops to recapture the defense area. Han Jian did not transfer the men and horses of Su Tingxia, but would use the situation of the queen of the palace to form a strategy after the men and horses of Su Tingxia, and the two armies marched to the Northern Guandong Front at the same time, and fought with the men and horses of the Khan King on the right side of Xianbei. After receiving the supply of grain and grass, Su Tingxia was transferred out of Cannescut City on the sixth day of the fifth month. On the seventh day of the fifth month, Han Jian's Chinese army entered the city, and at this time, there were no soldiers and civilians left in Kangcheng, and before Su Tingxia's troops withdrew to Kangcheng, the soldiers and civilians in Kangcheng had already fled.

Kangcheng is already the first-line city of Beiguan, which is different from the second-line city of Sangju, which still has soldiers and civilians left. If it weren't for Han Jian's dispatch of troops to help, and in a few days without the men and horses of the King of Xianbei Right Khan attacking the city, Su Tingxia's troops would be in a desperate situation because of lack of food, and they couldn't even rob without military and civilian garrisons, which also lost the biggest advantage of Su Tingxia's department. After Han Jian was stationed in Cannes and found out the situation on the North Kanto Front, he learned an astonishing fact. When the local soldiers and civilians learned that Su Tingxia came to garrison with men and horses, it was faster than hiding from the Xianbei barbarians, and other regions in the north did not know the "face" of Su Tingxia's department, but for the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Guandong Front, who had been sacked by Su Tingxia two years ago, Su Tingxia was more like a demon than the Xianbei people. This is also one of the indirect factors of the defeat of Su Tingxia's subordinates in the battle with the Xianbei Right Khan, because Su Tingxia could not get support, even military rations and supplies, Han Jian always thought that as long as Su Tingxia was given men and horses, the rest would not be left alone, and Su Tingxia could be allowed to "play freely", but in this war, Su Tingxia's subordinates also suffered unprecedented difficulties.

Stationed in Cannes, Han Jian's soldiers and horses need to "rest" again. Other people don't need to be so troublesome, the key is that Han Jian's Chinese army is too mixed, and after arriving in Kangcheng, many soldiers and civilians have joined the ranks of deserters. After Han Jian set out from Beichuan, there were 60,000 or 70,000 horses at the peak, and when he arrived in Shangzhou, there were still 50,000 people, and when he arrived in Kangcheng, there were not even 30,000 horses. I am afraid that even the Xianbei people could not have expected such a large-scale rout, and Han Jian did not force the rout to stop the rout of those people, which also contributed to this large-scale rout. Han Jian also knew that it wouldn't be long before the Xianbei people would know that his Chinese army was a paper tiger, and it would be broken if it was poked.

To rest, that is, to clean up the original soldiers and horses, with the smooth supply route of weapons in the rear, some of the civilians with the army were also issued weapons, but only a small number of civilians. These people have an important task, that is, to cooperate with Han Jian's two wings of soldiers and horses to escort grain and grass, Han Jian obtained from Beichuan by raiding his house and asking for sin, and now he has assisted part of Su Tingxia's department, and the rest is to be transported to Lin Zhan's defense area. Compared with the mess on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, the defense area of Lin Zhan's headquarters on the Western Front was still in fierce fighting, and the soldiers had to fight with the Xianbei people almost every day, and there was no way to retreat, and the whole army was miserable. Fortunately, it is not a cold winter, but the will of the soldiers is gradually being worn out in the case of lack of soldiers and food.

Han Jian's Chinese army now has to stabilize the defense line in the eastern region, and it can't have more reinforcements for Lin Zhan's troops, but no matter what, the grain and grass have to be transported over. The subsequent grain and grass were mainly hoarded in Shangzhou, and the Xianbei people could not find out this situation at present. If the grain and grass are transported out of Shangzhou in large quantities, the Xianbei people will inevitably investigate, and then Xianbei will use the grain and grass in Shangzhou as a breakthrough.

The only thing that can be done now is to set up fake grain and grass cantonments in the city, and Han Jian chose the first-line city Kangcheng. Set up a fake situation in Cannes and let the Xianbei people take the bait themselves. (To be continued......)
