The soldiers and horses went north from Shangzhou, passed through Kangzhou and then to the state capital along the first line of Beiguan, plus the political reorganization of the local garrison soldiers and horses to prepare to gather soldiers and horses to fight head-on with the Xianbei people, and it took more than half a month before and after. At this time, it was the middle of July, and Han Jian also felt powerless, and the battle with the Xianbei people had been retreating in his heart since the war, if it weren't for the Xianbei people pressing so hard, he sometimes wanted to just get by and forget it.

But the war in the north continues, so everything has to go on. After the soldiers and horses arrived at the first line of Beiguan, the first thing to spy on was the location of the main force of Xianbei and took the initiative to seek a decisive battle. The distribution of Xianbei soldiers and horses is relatively scattered, and Han Jian's defense area to the north is almost in the area where the Xianbei right Khan King is responsible for attacking, the surrounding terrain is very dangerous, in the past half a year, the Xianbei right Khan King's men and horses have passed through the North Pass several times into the Central Plains to plunder, but because the north is basically deserted for thousands of miles, the Xianbei people can not grab things, so at present, the Xianbei people have given up the plan to capture the city and plunder in addition to focusing on fighting with Su Tingxia's men and horses.

However, the Xianbei Right Khan King who really fought with Su Tingxia's troops was only a few thousand people, and it was impossible to judge where the main force of the Right Khan King was. The men and horses of the Khan King on the left and other tribes of Xianbei are more erratic, because what Su Tingxia's subordinates are fighting is to raise the war by fighting, and they also rely on grabbing resources to complete the supply, so Su Tingxia pays more attention to leading troops and horses to attack the back road of the Khan King of Xianbei on the right, which is also the only man and horse in the Beiguan defense area who can take the initiative to attack, so the Khan King on the right also has to send men and horses to hold some important passages in Beiguan to guard against the attack of Su Tingxia's troops, so that the right Khan King is relatively exposed to the vision of the soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty.

After the soldiers and horses were stationed, Han Jian first inspected all parts of the barracks, which was also his habit after coming in and leading the troops north, and he wanted to improve the communication with ordinary soldiers. Because the morale of the upper and lower ranks of the army is not very high. Many Luoyang soldiers and Jiangdu soldiers have the heart of homecoming, and they are not defending their homeland, and they do not have much confidence in being able to fight a bloody battle with the Xianbei people. And all Han Jian could do was to go out more instead of being high, and after he incorporated some soldiers guarding the pass in Beiguan, his morale improved slightly. Compared with the group of men and horses who had just come up from Beichuan, the original defenders of Beiguan hoped to end the battle in a decisive battle earlier, under the influence of this atmosphere. Morale in the army is also rising. After returning to the Chinese army's big tent, Han Jian was studying the strategic map, but unfortunately the strategic map he had in hand was not very detailed, and it was limited to the level of compiling maps in this era, and many places needed Han Jian to judge according to himself.

Han Jian was studying the topographic map alone, but Han Qi'er came uninvited and argued with the guards outside. Although she is the county lord, she still does not have the right to enter the big tent of the Chinese army without being informed, she is very dissatisfied with this, and the figure shouting outside is very large, as if she deliberately wants Han Jian to hear. As the guards came in, Han Jian waved his hand. Han Qi'er just went inside, and when she saw that there was no one next to Han Jian, there was only one person, Han Qi'er smiled and said, "Why don't you see your sister-in-law here today?" ”

Han Jian didn't raise his head, and said in an unkind tone: "I don't even understand the basic rules, I think it's the etiquette and salutation of ordinary people?" ”

Han Qi'er smiled and said, "Then should I call the imperial concubine or the general?" It's still a good name for General Fa, and my sister-in-law is much more heroic than you, the emperor. Hehe, don't stare at me, I'm actually here to tell you something. My brethren are walking with the army these days, and their hands are itching. Can we let us pull the team out and fight by ourselves, and don't follow you? Otherwise, the credit for winning is not ours, and if we lose, we have to carry the black pot together, isn't this kind of thing inappropriate? ”

Han Jian looked at Han Qi'er, thinking that she was also familiar with her, she joined the imperial conscription horse as a prisoner of war. But it's only been a few days since she came as if she was already her own home, and she didn't want to follow the big team and wanted to go out on her own, even if Han Qi'er didn't regain her heart for herself, Han Jian wouldn't let her lead people out, otherwise what was the use of spending time and time to recruit an before? Han Jian said: "It's easy to say. Have you personally led the men and horses out of the North Pass and know the situation outside? ”

Han Qi'er was stunned by the question, scratched her head and said, "What else?" Isn't that like that, I heard that it's all grass, what kind of grassland is it, what is the difference between it and the uninhabited thatched land in our Central Plains? It's all the same as running horses, and I've fought a few feet with the barbarians, the barbarians look very fierce, but they can't stand our brothers who are not afraid of death, I don't believe you let me call the brothers over and ask, and none of them will say that they are afraid of death. ”

Han Jian said: "It doesn't matter if you are afraid of death or not, the important thing is that since you are in the military camp, you must obey the order, and you can't let you do nonsense." I think you give orders in your cottage, and the people below don't dare to disobey them, right? ”

Han Qi'er has nothing to say at this time, although she doesn't know much about what a military order is, but it's very easy to speak, it's the same everywhere. Han Jian was about to kick her out, but another guard came in to greet her, and it turned out that the young soldier who Han Jian said just now that he wanted to be taken by his side as a personal guard came to report after packing up. Han Jian said, "Let him in." ”

The young soldier was escorted into the tent by several guards. After all, the young soldier is a soldier stationed along the Beiguan line, he has no official character and no status, he and Han Qier are treated differently, although Han Qier is from a rogue, but now the sparrow has become a phoenix, how to say that he was also accepted by Han Jian as a righteous sister and became the county lord. However, the young soldiers were born in ordinary people's families, but they had no official character, and they also needed to be accompanied when they entered the camp tent.

"Step back when you're fine." Han Jian said a word, looking up at the somewhat nervous young soldier. The guards next to him withdrew from the tent.

The young soldier's face was childish, he didn't know that this was the emperor in front of him before the pass, and he was also the lord of Jiangdu, so he didn't have much respect, but now he knew that he was very nervous, and he was also a little excited. No matter how you say it, he has been exposed to the Lord since he was a child, and he doesn't look much older than him, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms, so it's not as incredible as it is rumored in the outside world.

Han Qi'er stood there, squinting at the young soldier and said, "You kid looks quite handsome, but I don't know how old you are, why do you still look like a half-grown kid, when did there be such a small guy in the soldiers and horses of the East Palace?" ”

The young soldier stared at Han Qi'er, he had seen Han Qi'er under the pass, this woman did not have a little woman's weakness and demeanor, which also disgusted him, and now he was still provoking him, if it wasn't for the Chinese army's big tent. If any woman really wants to provoke him like this, he has to be in a hurry.

Han Jian said: "I let irrelevant people retreat, why do you stay?" ”

Han Qi'er said: "What is irrelevant? I'm here to tell you how important it is to lead the troops out to fight, and when you see a little coward, you actually say that I am irrelevant? Hmph, this kid is very soft when he looks at it. If you don't believe it, go out and fight, do you dare to be a little coward? ”

The young soldier was furious, and he clenched his fists and was about to pounce on Han Qi'er to fight hard, but suddenly gritted his teeth and held back, saying, "My mother said that big husbands don't care about little women. After saying a word, she became angry and became Han Qi'er.

Han Qi'er said angrily: "Yo, little coward, dare to say that your grandmother is a woman...... Wrong. Your grandmother and I are originally women, but I can beat your little cowardly eggs all over the ground to find teeth, do you believe it or not? ”

The young soldier simply ignored her, Han Qi'er was annoyed now, she was the master of the cottage, although she was captured in the barracks, but she became the county lord, and even Han Jian did not show off her might in front of her on weekdays. At most, she didn't have the anger to scold her twice, and now there is a kid who is counted down by her and comes out to make trouble with her. How could she swallow this breath?

"That's it!" Han Jian got up, walked off the handsome case, and said, "When, when is this the Colosseum?" In short, I don't agree with the matter of leading the troops, so you can step back if you have nothing to do. If you really feel like you want someone to fight, stay here and try your skills for yourself later. ”

Han Qi'er heard that Han Jian was going to do it himself, and she immediately came to her senses, and she was going to teach the young soldiers a lesson just now, and now her attention was all on Han Jian. Ever since she was captured, she has always been haunted by the fact that she couldn't fight to the death with Han Jian that day. She felt that Han Jian was able to be so vigorous by relying on Fa Yi to protect her, and if it was one-on-one, she would definitely not be her opponent.

Han Jian stepped forward to look at the young soldier and asked for his name, and the young soldier told his name and place of origin. Only then did Han Jian know that this kid's name was Jiang Yue, from Jiangdu City, Han Jian thought to himself that this kid might have been a little younger when he ran around the city with Ruan Ning and Sima, otherwise he might have become a comrade-in-arms in the same trench. Han Jian suddenly thought that Sima Yi would not return in the Southern Dynasty, while Ruan Ning stayed in Luoyang to follow his stepfather to study and serve as a sesame mung bean official in the imperial court, and he felt a little emotional.

"After you go out, look for Guard Sun, he will arrange your daily shifts, recently they are all marching and fighting, and you have to come over in several shifts at night to take turns to keep vigil, no problem, right?" Han Jian asked.

Jiang Yue stiffened up and said, "If I hadn't come here, I would have stayed alone for six hours at night without blinking!" ”

Han Jian didn't care about this kid, originally he also saw that he was young, and he was a substitute brother in the army or a soldier in Jiangdu, so he left him by his side as a guard, first gave him an iron rice bowl, and it was finally safer to be a guard, even if there was a war, he didn't have to rush to the front, which was equivalent to leaving him a life to go back to marry his daughter-in-law. Han Jian tidied up the military uniform on his body, which was also a kind of care from his superiors to his subordinates, and at this time, Han Qi'er, who was rubbing his hands next to him, said impatiently: "Hey, have you finished speaking, don't you do it yet?" ”

Han Jian was annoyed in his heart, and reached out to hit Han Qi'er's face, Han Qi'er didn't expect Han Jian to sneak attack, and was about to take precautions, but suddenly thought that this would make her door wide open and unguarded, and she was about to avoid taboos, but Han Jian didn't even take her hand, so she slapped her fist on her arm that protected her face, Han Qi'er thought it was Han Jian's mistake, but she didn't expect that she felt that the strength was as heavy as a thousand pounds when she first came into contact, and it was not something she could parry at all. The man took a few steps back, and finally fell to the ground without stopping.

"In the future, first stabilize the horse's steps, and then talk about doing it with people!" Han Jian glanced at her, and didn't step forward to help, and said.

If Han Qi'er had lost the upper hand in another fight, she would have to get back the field, but when she barely got up from the ground, she felt that her heart was surging and she couldn't even speak. Han Jian's punch just now was also a fierce blow that annoyed her nonsense, although he didn't do his best, it also damaged Han Qi'er's qi veins, and she had to recuperate for three or five days to recover, and Han Jian didn't want to listen to her rambling next to her if she was fine.

"You...... Why are you so strong? Han Qi'er was beaten in the arm, but when she fell to the ground, she felt that her bones were falling apart, and her breath was surging, as if she was about to vomit and faint. Qi can't go smoothly at all. Even Jiang Yue next to him looked at Han Jian with a shocked face, Han Jian's punch just now was too fast, he asked himself if he could get up after that punch, he might not even be able to stop it if he reached out to block it, and at the same time he also admired Han Qi'er a little, she was just hit on the arm between the calcium carbide sparks, which was also a "master".

Han Qi'er was lying on the pillar next to the big tent and breathing smoothly, and at this time, Fa Yi arrived at the door, and Han Jian waved his hand to let Jiang Yue go out. After all, Jiang Yue was a guard who had just been appointed, and he didn't dare to disobey him, and Han Qi'er was unconvinced and wanted to come again, but after resting for a long time, there was still no sign of improvement. Fa Yi came in, Han Qi'er looked at Fa Yi as if asking for help, Fa Yi walked over and put down the tea that calmed his nerves, and slapped Han Qi'er on the back, and Han Qi'er's breath finally improved.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for coming, otherwise who would have beaten me to death! cough, I knew I wouldn't try with him, and his strength was greater than that of a cow...... By the way, sister-in-law, if you try it, who is better? Glared at by Han Jian, Han Qi'er scolded and left the Chinese army's tent, probably going back to "recuperate" and prepare to come back to compete again.

When the others left, Han Jian said: "You are also helping her, I originally wanted her to suffer a little and be quiet." ”

Fa Yi said: "If Your Majesty says it, the concubine will not meddle in her affairs." ”

Han Jian smiled, beckoned Fa Yi to his side, spread out the topographic map and said, "Yi'er, have you ever been to the north before?" The topography around this Yancheng is a little strange, even if the guide who found the place said a lot of things, all said that it was more stable to go out of the customs from the west road, but he was still not very relieved. How to say that we also have tens of thousands of horses, if you walk from the canyon, although the distance is short, but it is easy to be taken advantage of by Xianbei people. Do you see if there is another way out? ”

Fa also looked at the topographic map, but shook his head. Although she had traveled a lot for Yang Rui to investigate intelligence, she was not familiar with the terrain around Yancheng. Han Jian couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it, Fa Yi's previous investigation intelligence was all for Yang Rui's team, the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu, and it was obvious that there was no need to go so far north to investigate these two vassal kings. It's a pity that he doesn't have a more detailed map and guide by his side now, and if he rushes in, he will probably be disadvantaged. (To be continued......)
