Xiao Zhan has no reason to refuse, the conditions offered by Han Jian are already the best for her, if she accepts, she will give full play to her last remaining residual value. And if she agrees, then she can't seek death, not only because of the credibility problem, but also because once she dies, Han Jian will not fulfill his promise to send food to Hangzhou.

Although this was a very good result for Xiao Zhan, she couldn't agree right away, she was hesitating.

There are many things that she has to think about clearly, no matter what, there is no reason for her to marry a foreign king like Han Jian who invaded her land, even if she is only a member of the royal family, she doesn't bother to marry Han Jian, not to mention that she is still the king of the Southern Dynasty.

But if you think about it carefully, as Han Jian said, this is a transaction and gambling contract with a clear real price, she has the right to choose whether to agree or not to agree, just like Han Jian has a choice between giving Hangzhou City food or not, since you want to get it, you must pay something, which is also a natural principle.

"Yes, I ...... I promise you. When Xiao Zhan finally agreed, his expression was surprisingly calm. In fact, this result is the fairest result she can pursue, Han Jian gave her a choice, and similarly, if she doesn't agree and seeks death again, then Han Jian will not force it to the end.

Once a person's desire for death is clear, others cannot interfere with her.

Han Jian nodded and said, "In that case, the eldest princess, please go back." Tomorrow, I will have people transport 200,000 stone of grain to Hangzhou, but if the eldest princess does not believe her words, I will change my mind at any time, and the next batch of grain and grass will ...... It's far away. ”

Xiao Zhan sneered slightly: "We in the royal family of the Southern Dynasty will not be untrustworthy. Dongwang just have to rest assured. Or thinking that Han Jian added her to the condition that she would marry as a courtier, she added, "If Your Excellency can really capture Jinling as scheduled." I will never break my word......"

Han Jian nodded, beckoned, and immediately a female official came out and personally escorted Xiao Zhan back to the camp to rest.

Waiting for the others to leave, Han Jian sighed, in his heart. There is even a faint expectation of it.

Bet with Xiao Zhan, and at the same time put pressure on himself, Han Jian is not confident enough to conquer Jinling City within a month, he just gives himself pressure and motivation, if he can really succeed, not only can he occupy the capital of the Southern Dynasty, so that the Southern Dynasty is basically under his control, but he can also conquer a female emperor of the Southern Dynasty who combines nobility, arrogance and beauty as he wishes, which can be regarded as an incentive for him in disguise.

But when Han Jian turned around. But I still feel ashamed.

Even if Xiao Zhan didn't hate him before, or had some good feelings, the two were originally people from two worlds and could never come together, and his other good friend Sima Yi had always admired Xiao Zhan. Sima's stay in the Southern Dynasty was somewhat related to his attachment to Xiao Zhan, and Han Jian did so. In fact, there is also the meaning of revenge on Sima Yi, since you have chosen to betray your former friendship. Go and serve the enemy, and I will snatch your woman today, and make you hate it for the rest of your life.

But thinking of Sima Yi, Han Jian still felt uncomfortable. In his life, he didn't have any trustworthy friends around him, Sima Yi and Ruan Ping. Or maybe Yang Xi after that, he couldn't find a common ground with him. And what he is experiencing now is Yang Xi's distrust of him, as well as Sima Yi's betrayal, maybe one day in the future. He will go to the point of betrayal and separation, and only power can make him feel peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, have you gone back to rest?"

Just when Han Jian closed his eyes and was stunned, a person slowly entered the big tent, his tone was very soft, but it made Han Jian feel a burst of warmth.

It's Fa Ye.

When Han Jian squinted his eyes at Fa Yi, he seemed to see the shadow of another person from Fa Yi, who had completely turned away from him and could not come back. That is also the woman Han Jian has always felt sorry for, that is, Yang Rui's right-hand man, and even Yang Rui is willing to kill himself for her.

It was Yi Die, Yang Rui's former Buku envoy of the Criminal Division, and the same woman Han Jian used force and coercion to stay by his side. It's a pity that after Han Jian replaced Yang Rui as emperor, Yi Die left Luoyang, and his whereabouts are unknown.

"Oh......" Han Jian returned to the plausible.

Fa Yi walked in, she looked at Han Jian's expression, with some incomprehension in her eyes, she didn't quite understand, why Han Jian was so stunned after seeing Xiao Zhan, even if she left the big tent just now, but she didn't go far, with her keen hearing, she also heard very clearly what Han Jian said to Xiao Zhan just now, a man, conquering a woman, should be full of pride, just like when Han Jian conquered her, she had also seen Han Jian's stubbornness, and she never let go of the blood she smedied, and it was precisely because of Han Jian's persistence, only then did she put aside her worldly prejudices and choose to be with Han Jian, not hesitating to betray Yang Rui, whom she was loyal to.

"What's wrong?" Fa Yi just asked curiously.

Fa Yi is a scheming woman in front of Han Jian, she likes it, she likes it, she dislikes it, she also minds what Han Jian said to Xiao Zhan, she thinks that even if Han Jian likes a woman, she shouldn't use coercion to get it, but she respects Han Jian's decision, because she can see the sincerity of Han Jian's intentions, Han Jian's bet with Xiao Zhan is also to save Xiao Zhan's life, so that Xiao Zhan will not seek death again. Since Han Jian has fulfilled Xiao Zhan, why can't Xiao Zhan fulfill Han Jian?

"Nope." Han Jian smiled apologetically, and after coming back to his senses, his head lowered slightly, "I just thought of another person from my master." ”

Han Jian also told the truth, just now he did think of Yi Die, thinking of this woman he had obtained by coercion, how deeply he hurt Yi Die. The reason why Yi Die committed himself to him was entirely because Yi Die wanted to protect the people of the royalist party, the Yang Rui she was loyal to, and the belief in her heart, but in the end, it was Han Jian who forcibly destroyed the belief that Yi Die had maintained all his life, which was equivalent to Han Jian ruining this person's life, and this person was also a woman with courage and strategy, and even capable and insightful.

Fa also said indifferently: "Your Majesty is also sincere. ”

Between the tones, there was a small anger, which was rarely shown by Fa Yi.

Han Jian knew that Fa Ye was not really angry, otherwise Fa Ye would not have chosen to stay.

Han Jian gently picked up Fa Yi, and he supported Fa Yi, and also let Fa Yi support his tired body. Walking step by step to the handsome case, Han Jian did not sit down, but turned his head to look at Fa Yi: "Master, what do you think of the apprentice's life?" ”

Fa Yi shook his head and said, "This title is not good." ”

"That's another name, Yi'er. What do you think of being a husband? ”

Fa also shook her head, she would not comment. In her mind, even if Han Jian has shortcomings, it is her husband, the closest person around her, even if Han Jian is not good to anyone, but he is honest with her, which she can feel enough, for her. can feel this, even if Han Jian is a person who is full of evil and anger, it doesn't matter, she is not a savior, all she wants is a peaceful and peaceful life.

Han Jian didn't answer when he saw the law, but sighed: "Or maybe I'm really hopeless." After playing for half a lifetime, I thought I could be carefree. I was lonely all my life, and I still felt that I could be in this world. found family and partner again, but in the end, it seemed that it was the second half of the game again. Haha, it's a bit ridiculous, or maybe it's really lucky, and I'm still doing it well. Unfortunately, in the end, I still couldn't find a fulcrum in this world. ”

What Han Jian said was too profound, and Fa Ye didn't know the specific facts, so he naturally didn't know what Han Jian said.

Han Jian even trusts the people around him again. He didn't tell him about his two lives, which was the biggest secret in his heart.

As he said, in his last life, he giggled and laughed, from school to graduation, to work, and to start a family, he did it with a heart of a game world, bringing people to be honest, and he also didn't want to stay concerned. After he was reincarnated, he always felt that he had forgotten the first half of his life, even if in this life, he found a confidante, but the loss in his heart was incomprehensible to others, it was a kind of lonely desolation, a person in the world, no one could understand him, what a sad thing, he could only try to go crazy, to be reckless, and use the blood and cruelty of war to cover the emptiness in his heart.

"That's fine." In the end, Han Jian seemed to understand it, "Finally, this is my last battle, and after it is over, I should really live my life in peace, even if there are more waves in the future, it will not affect the stable life of our family......"

……

……

Two days later, the soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of Jinling City.

At the same time, it was 60,000 soldiers and horses from Yangzhou City, Jiangbei, who crossed the river.

Under the condition that the Northern Dynasty naval division fully controlled the shores of Changjian, Zhu Tongjing's men and horses did not even form any resistance to the Northern Dynasty soldiers and horses crossing the river.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, 120,000 soldiers and horses under Lin Zhan's department killed from the south of the town to the city of Jinling, completing the siege of Jinling City on three sides.

The battle of Jinling is imminent.

Half a year after the outbreak of the Civil War, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty finally surrounded the capital of the Southern Dynasty in the stumbling and stumbling, Zhu Tongjing did not have many defenders in the city, at this time in order to hold the city, Zhu Tongjing could only use force to force conscripts from the people, and all the people's food in the city had to be handed over to the army, and any mouthful of food for the people needed to be allocated by the army.

The siege war, which began in the middle of the lunar month, has been launched.

In order to attack Jinling City, Han Jian requisitioned more than 100 artillery pieces from the north, all of which were carefully developed by the Northern Dynasties over the years, although the power of the artillery did not increase too much, but the deterrent effect on the defenders of Jinling City was very great.

The soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, preparing for the siege from different positions of Jinling City, the first thing to do was to fill the moat and carry out harassing attacks on the outer city of Jinling City.

Many of Zhu Tongjing's soldiers and horses fled back from the south of Yangzhou City, and they still remember the scene of the Northern Dynasty's attack on Yangzhou City that day.

Although Jinling City is more stable than Yangzhou City in terms of defense, it has not reached the point of absolute stability, at most the city wall is a little higher than Yangzhou City. However, the Northern Dynasty had already crossed the river for two months, and the baggage of the siege had also been improved, and the siege vehicles built for the siege of Yangzhou City had now been modified to attack Jinling City.

Zhu Tongjing also knew that it would be very difficult for him to guard against Han Jian's siege when he was close to betraying his relatives. But he still has hopes, that is, Sima Yi and Su Tingxia can stab Han Jian in the back, and only in this way can he have the possibility of a Jedi reversal. Although he knew, the probability of this itself was also very low.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth month, on the second day after Lin Zhan's vanguard army arrived at Jinling City, the Northern Dynasty launched an attack on the city at the same time in the northwest and east directions of Jinling City.

This is also a siege battle launched in the ice and snow.

The defenders in the city were still complaining about not having enough to eat, and when they were shivering from the cold, they saw that the vast expanse outside was full of siegers from the Northern Dynasty.

Han Jian took Yangzhou and Suzhou as the vanguard of the two lines of soldiers and horses, launched a comprehensive siege of Jinling City, with artillery as a cover, just when the defenders in the city were a little unable to open their eyes, the army marched to the city together, and even the siege ladder also joined the battle.

Under the walls of Jinling City, there were shouts of killing everywhere.

Han Jian personally rode a horse to supervise the battle five miles before the battle, and on Han Jianjian's side, it was Fa Yi and Ke Qu'er who were riding horses and were heroic.

The siege of the day, although it was only a preliminary exploratory siege, was already very large, and the soldiers launched the attack almost selflessly.

The defenders in Jinling City have long been accustomed to the kind of war that soldiers come to run, although they are very arrogant to the common people, but on the battlefield, they rely on momentum to scare people, they didn't dare to believe that a siege war can reach the point where everyone is not afraid of death. Therefore, they have been instilled with the idea that even if the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty besieged Jinling City, at most they came to scare a few times, leaving a few corpses and running back to continue the siege, no one really dared to launch a fierce attack on the city, otherwise if the soldiers were killed or injured, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty would be easy to disperse.

But the generals of the Southern Dynasties could not understand the war of the Northern Dynasties.

In the past few years, the Northern Dynasty has been gradually sharpened in the accumulation of large and small wars, and in the end, Han Jian's grasp of power was completely based on the strength of the army.

Han Jian's descendants are Jiangdu's disciples. Since the beginning of the battle of Jiangdu, these soldiers have been honed on the battlefield of real swords and guns, and then attacked Luoyang, fought with the Xianbei people twice, and bled before the battle again and again, and even endured the cold and loneliness in the north, hungry and desperate with the Xianbei people.

None of this can be understood by the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty.

This siege of the Northern Dynasty was a siege in the true sense of the word, and the immensity of the momentum alone made the defenders in the city daunting, not to mention, this was only the first round. (To be continued.) )
