Han Jian saw Yang Li'er's serious and unsmiling appearance, and said with a smile: "What about the three chapters of the law, you say." ”

Yang Li'er said with a bit of arrogance on her face: "Let me join the army, you have to trust me, if I do something wrong, you can't reprimand me in person." ”

Han Jian thought to himself, this should be Yang Li'er is afraid of losing face, and now her identity is his princess, she came out to show her face, face is very important, and if Han Jian reprimands her in front of others, it will embarrass her.

"This is natural, since I asked you to come out to help me, I will trust you." Han Jian said, "Go on." ”

"Chapter 2, if I do something wrong, you still have to help me, and you can't let me go wrong."

Han Jian was embarrassed: "Li'er, you asked me to help you again, and you don't allow me to hit you, I'm very embarrassed." ”

"So you're not going to say yes?" Yang Li'er's eyes were cold, as if she was a little disappointed.

"It's either that you don't agree, or that you ...... Do as you say. We can't say it in name, we can say it privately, even if it's a pillow to say it. Han Jian said with a smile.

"What a pillow." Yang Li'er's face turned red and said, "Business is business, private affairs are private affairs, I don't want you to show favoritism, but ...... I do have things that I can do wrong, and you can't let them all go wrong! ”

"Okay." Han Jian felt that this was also reasonable, and promised not to suffer a loss, "There is a third one." ”

"Chapter 3 is ...... You can't tell outsiders about what I'm doing in the army, I don't want to ...... Let the people of Nanwangfu know ......"

Yang Li'er said, her expression darkened slightly. Han Jian sighed in his heart. Yang Li'er always felt guilty about leaving Yuzhou with Han Jian, and she came out willfully this time, which was tantamount to letting go of the affairs of Nanwangfu and turning her heart towards her husband's side.

"What you say, your husband will naturally do it." Han Jian took Yang Li'er's hand and said, "This time you joined the army, mainly to be my assistant, and your identity will be kept absolutely secret in the army." I believe it won't be long. We can go out together as husband and wife. That's when someone else can teach us how powerful we are. ”

Yang Li'er listened to what Han Jian said, her face improved slightly, and she said with a smile: "You know how to talk big." Even if you have some skills, on the battlefield. The tide of battle is also changing rapidly. How can there be a general who wins a hundred battles? ”

Listen to Yang Li'er say this. Han Jian was also relieved in his heart, stepped forward to comfort him, and said that he would take the matter of forming an alliance with Nanwangfu seriously. Yang Li'er completely explained.

……

……

With Yang Li'er as a helper, Han Jian can make up for the lack of military theoretical knowledge.

Han Jian also knew that he didn't know anything about marching and fighting at all, and the military knowledge he learned was either on paper or came up with a flexible mind. Really went to the battlefield, many things can not be solved by opportunism, Yang Li'er is rich in military theory, enough to be a professor of ancient marching operations, Han Jian can only be regarded as a student in front of her.

Han Jian was happy to let Yang Li'er teach him, instead of finding a general to teach. After all, Han Jian has to take care of his own face, he is the king of the east, he must have enough prestige, and he is not at ease to let others come. Only Yang Li'er will sincerely help him.

Family, easy to do.

In the following days, with the tension in the north, the Luozhou defense line was further urgent.

The Luoyang army has successively taken several counties around Luozhou, forming a two-bread clamp for Luozhou, and after the Luoyang army, there is also the Northern Wang Army eyeing the tiger, which makes the Luozhou war tight.

In order to deal with the menacing Luoyang army, the defenders on the front line of Luozhou could only temporarily withdraw to Luozhou, trapped in the isolated city, and abandoned some relatively solid fortresses around Luozhou.

Fortunately, after the Luoyang army entered the county seat, they did not loot on a large scale, so that the local people kept peaceful. However, this also made the war on the front line worsen, and the Luoyang Army mainly focused on winning people's hearts, which would make Jiang generals slack off and not resist to the death.

On the Jiangdu side, Han Jian first sent a vanguard army to insert diagonally from the side, preparing to form a support for Luozhou. It also let the defenders of Los Angeles know that there are troops in their rear to provide support.

But this vanguard army, after all, is too small in number, only 3,000 cavalry, and it can be rescued at a critical time, but it is also a drop in the bucket.

And more reinforcements, Han Jian has already prepared, Zhang Xing and some local veterans in Jiangdu are in charge, leading an army of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, step by step close to Luozhou, while building a joint defense line between cities along the way, while forming assistance to Luozhou.

But those who have a heart can see that Dongwangfu has no intention of forming a bitter battle in Luozhou. Although Luozhou is located in the north of Jiangdu, it is the key pass in the north of Jiangdu, but Luozhou is also too sinister, since ancient times, the soldiers have studied Luozhou a lot, and even know their topography and city defense and the situation of the lanes in the city.

Han Jian's idea of abandoning Luozhou coincides with Yang Li'er.

Yang Li'er also believes that although Luozhou is the focus of this war, it is not the place where victory or defeat is decided. This time, the Luoyang army went south, and only by going deep into the hinterland could it have a chance to repel it in one fell swoop. In her opinion, Yang Yu's ascension to the throne this time was unstable, and he wanted to use a war to establish his prestige and prove that he was the lord of Jiangbei.

The problem is that Yang Yu's dispatch of troops this time is also very hasty, the preparation time before and after is only two months, and many of the armaments and materials are also temporarily cobbled, and many of them are "borrowed" from the Beiwangfu. In this case, the Luoyang Army's step-by-step march is the result they most hope to see.

If the Dongwangfu sticks to Luozhou, it will inevitably set the main front in Luozhou, which is not good for the Dongwangfu, which has the problem of supply, and the support of the North Wangfu is obviously much easier than the support of Yuzhou. Because Luozhou is at least thousands of miles away from Yuzhou, Nanwangfu is beyond the reach of this.

Once Luozhou is lost after a hard battle, it will enter Yang Yu's calculations, Yang Yu can take Luozhou as a stronghold, sweep away the remnants of the troops and horses in Jiangdu, and then advance to the city of Jiangdu. Because the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu suffered heavy losses in the bitter battle of Luozhou, and they could not form an effective blockade in the defensive battle of Jiangdu, it was only a matter of time before the city of Jiangdu was broken.

This qiē. It is all based on sticking to Luozhou, and after Yang Li'er finished her analysis, Han Jian felt that her analysis was very reasonable.

If Luozhou is abandoned, the main force will be called back, and there are still many cities north of Jiangdu that can form a defense, effectively preventing the Luoyang army from entering Jiangdu. At this time, the supply line of the Luoyang army will be lengthened, and if the main force of Jiangdu is not damaged, the Luoyang soldiers and horses will be struggling. Timingly. Jiang Du can send a line of soldiers and horses to attack its back. Cut off its grain routes, and the war will develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Eastern Palace.

Han Jian told Han Songshi and others about Yang Li'er's construction, and Han Songshi expressed concern about Han Jian's opinion of abandoning Luozhou.

Han Songshi felt that there was no general. They will ignore their own people before going to war. If you give up Los Angeles. Let the soldiers and civilians who are preparing to hold out in Los Angeles know how disappointed it will be.

Han Song analyzed the stakes and believed that Han Jian was not ready to stick to Luozhou. It is also necessary to make an appearance of stubborn defense, only in this way will the whole Dongwang Mansion feel that it is because of the ineffective war that they have to give up Luozhou, and not give up at the beginning, so that the entire Dongwang Mansion will feel that Han Jian is disregarding morality.

"Erniang, what you said makes sense, but what kind of process do we do to make others think that we are not defeating ourselves without a fight, but have to retreat?"

Han Jian's question also stumped Han Song.

Although Han Song has been running the Dongwang Mansion for many years, he mainly takes care of accounts and military supplies. In recent years, the land of Jiangdu has been in good weather, and even the border disputes with Nanqi are very few. She has no experience in marching and fighting at all, and what she can rely on are Han Cui's and Han Zhao's two sisters who can put on armor and go into battle, and Han Jian's question also stopped her.

"Jian'er, are you going to listen to Erniang?" Han Songshi frowned.

Han Jian said: "I just listened to what Erniang said, and I thought that Erniang already had a good Jianyi." Since Erniang hasn't thought about it yet, I will also go back and think of a way, try to follow what Erniang said, while taking care of the overall situation, I also want to make Jiang Du work together. ”

"If only you could think so." Seeing that Han Jian was about to leave, Han Songshi reminded again, "But Jian'er, you ...... Don't be rash, Erniang is afraid that you will be like before now, everything you do is reckless, if you leave Jiangdu, Jiangdu will be completely chaotic! ”

"Okay Erniang, you're really verbose." Han Jian said complaining words on his lips, but he was grateful to Han Song in his heart.

In the final analysis, Han Jian and Han Song have no blood relationship at all. But since Han Jian was born, this Erniang has been singing with a black face, not only to cultivate him, but also not to spoil him too much, and sometimes even to punish him. This kind of family affection also made Han Jian feel the warmth of this family, and if he was a human being in another life, if he didn't have this family, he wouldn't even dare to think about what kind of life he would live.

……

……

Soon, Han Jian and Yang Li'er discussed, and came to a conclusion that Luozhou's persistence can only last until the beginning of spring, and after the beginning of spring, Luozhou must be abandoned and can no longer continue to insist.

Such a conclusion was made mainly from the comparison of the military strength of the two sides and the supply of grain, grass and materials.

If Jiangdu wants to form continuous support for Luozhou, it will lose a lot of food and materials, which is a loss in transportation. The longer the supply line, the greater the loss rate and the lower the chance of being able to form an effective rescue.

At the beginning of the war, Luozhou was already in a difficult situation. First of all, the counties around Luozhou were lost one after another, and then the main road leading from Luozhou to Jiangdu was constantly harassed, and the surrounding reinforcements did not dare to approach the Luozhou defense line for a while.

Such a supply line, after the beginning of spring, will be even weaker, if you can't repel the Luoyang soldiers and horses before the beginning of spring, there is only one result, that is, to abandon Luozhou, so that Luozhou will fend for itself.

In the past, the main thing to do was not to support Luozhou, but to build a defensive line within two or three hundred miles south of Luozhou in the name of support. Relying on some well-walled prefectures and counties, and then harassing with cavalry, the northern defense line of Jiangdu was constructed.

This defense line needs about sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, of which forty or fifty thousand are local garrisons, which does not need to be too worrying about the East Palace. And what the Eastern Wangfu asked to send was only twenty or thirty thousand regular troops. As long as there are these, it will be extremely difficult for the hundreds of thousands of allied troops in Luoyang and Beiwangfu to capture them within half a year.

But it's ideal. It is not ruled out that Yang Yu or Yang Ke still has a powerful backmove.

But Han Jian expected that Yang Yu and Yang Ke didn't want to delay this battle for a long time, and there would be changes for a long time, because on the side of the Xiwang Mansion, they couldn't cope with it for the time being. If they consumed too much manpower and material resources in the battle of Jiangdu, it would only make the king of the west take advantage.

Therefore, in terms of design and tactics, Han Jian deliberately guided Yang Li'er to the strategy of "self-loss of 100 and enemy loss of 80".

According to Han Jian's idea, even if the soldiers and horses are insufficient, even if the military quality is poor, even if the military spirit is not in order, they can rely on some "brute force" to complete this kind of reckless self-destruction war.

Anyway, Jiang is waiting for work, sticking to the city and not leaving, even if Luoyang soldiers and horses come to attack, let him attack, and he can not be rescued for a while, or symbolic rescue. This will make it difficult for Yang Yu and Yang Ke's coalition forces.

They had to capture one city after another step by step before they could reach the city of Jiangdu, and the loss was so great. If Yang Yu and Yang Ke dared not to take the cities along the way, but directly attacked Jiangdu, Jiangdu would be equal in defensive strategy. If appropriate, Jiangdu's northern defense line will play its role, and troops can be sent while holding on, but it is necessary to be cautious, and it is necessary to distribute troops and horses everywhere to form a flanking attack, and it is not possible to completely honor any of the soldiers and horses, even if it is a descendant army.

This kind of war will cause unprecedented losses in the East Palace, and in the long run, it will only cause both sides to lose. But this is also the basis for Jiangdu's self-preservation.

Only by dragging the war on, the war between Luoyang and the North Wangfu is tense, and at the same time, it is necessary to guard against the yellow finches of the West Wangfu and the South Wangfu, so they will have to retreat. When the two armies retreated, it was the time when Jiangdu could really get out of the matter, because what happened next would be a battle between the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu for Luoyang.

Han Jian keenly felt that even if the Northern Wang's army could not go south to Jiangdu this time, they would try to drag Yang Yu's soldiers and horses down, so that he could enter Luoyang, complete his father's unfinished business, and become the emperor of the Wei Dynasty.

As long as the battle of Jiangdu ends, either Jiangdu will be destroyed, or Yang Yu will be destroyed. Yang Ke captured Luoyang, how could Yang Pingju, the king of the west, not agree, when the time comes, the west palace and the north palace will start a war, and it will be the east palace that will reap the profits, and the recovery of Luoyang City will also be expected.

"Li'er, the next step is to build such a line of defense. The Dongwang Mansion does not have many soldiers and horses on hand now, and there may be difficulties in it. Han Jian said truthfully.

Yang Li'er frowned and said, "Didn't you send to Yuzhou claiming to have 100,000 troops, is it a bluff?" ”

"The bluff is not enough, there are indeed 100,000 soldiers and horses." Han Jian said, "It's just that many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't be on the stage." (To be continued......)
