The army will set out on the eighth day of October, and before dusk on the seventh day of October, Han Jian rode his horse and the empress on horseback at the same time, escorted by guards, to the military camp outside the city. And Yang Li'er, as a relative of the East Prince's Mansion, is riding in a carriage.

Originally, as a woman, the empress had to ride a carriage even if she wanted to drive the expedition in person. But the empress insisted on wearing a military uniform and getting on the horse, giving people the impression that she was going to go on the expedition, not just talking casually.

Han Jian naturally didn't say anything.

Facts have proved that the empress's outfit still invigorates the military when she enters the barracks. When the empress entered the barracks, the soldiers greeted her, and the crowd was excited, and when they saw the empress one by one, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. He, the king of the east, seemed a little "eyesore" on the side.

Entering the barracks, he immediately raised the tent to discuss the matter, which was a mobilization meeting before the army started.

At the meeting, the empress attended in person, but it was Han Jian who presided. In addition to some generals of the Dongwang Mansion and the imperial court, there were also some military officials headed by Lin Ke, and Lin Xiaoshu, as the chief butler of the Dongwang Mansion, also attended the meeting.

The empress raised the account, and everyone present looked stern. Han Jian didn't have any nonsense, and said some general matters of the march, how many miles a day to march, when to pull out the camp, when to bury the stove, and when to set up camp. These are some nonsense, but as the head coach appointed by the Empress herself, he still has to repeat it to show his prestige as a head coach.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this war of rebellion involves the national capital of our Wei Dynasty. If there is any mistake on the march, and if there is someone who reports to the traitor, don't blame the ruthlessness of military law! Han Jian finally said in a threatening tone.

The generals under his command will naturally receive orders, this kind of words. They get used to it when they listen to it a lot.

By the end of the meeting, the generals had withdrawn, and the empress had said nothing. When everyone left, Han Jian left Lin Xiaoshu and told her about the arrangements for the supply of grain and grass. The grain and grass with the army can probably support about two months, and the rest needs to be transported from all over Jiangdu, and the supply of grain and grass under Lin Zhan's department also needs to be arranged, after all, Lin Zhan is the elite division of the East Palace. There were 60,000 soldiers and horses. This time 36,000 soldiers and horses. They should have escorted grain and grass to the front.

Lin Xiaoshu looked very restrained in front of the empress, and what Han Jian said, she only agreed.

Wait for Lin Xiaoshu to go down. Only Han Jian and the empress were left in the tent. The Empress seemed to say from the bottom of her heart: "You butler. How amazing it is to the outside world. It looks mediocre too. ”

"Your Majesty, you don't need to count the minister's helpers in front of the minister, right?" Han Jian smiled disdainfully. "I don't know if there are any unremarkable capable people around Your Majesty?"

The empress didn't say much in the face of Han Jian's sneering words, and left the camp tent as if she was angry, and then two palace maids in military uniforms escorted the empress to the resting tent.

After all, she is the emperor, Yang Li'er has no maids around to serve, but she still needs some people to take care of her daily life, after all, eating, drinking, Lazar and sleeping, a woman is inconvenient in the army, and she is not as "experienced" as Yang Li'er, so Han Jian mentioned it, and the empress asked the two palace maids around her to accompany her. Usually, the two palace maids are in the carriage driven by the empress Luan, and the empress leaves the two palace maids by her side, which is also to warn Han Jian not to "mess around".

Early in the morning of the second day, the army set out for battle.

There are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, divided into three armies: front, middle and rear.

The front army had set out on the evening of the seventh day of October, about twenty or thirty miles ahead of the Chinese army, and it could not be too far, after all, the roads were not very smooth in those years, and the speed of the carriages and horses was not fast, and no matter how far it was, it was easy to not be able to respond to the front and back, and it would be difficult to deal with it if it was attacked by the enemy.

Han Jian and the empress were in the middle of the Chinese army, which was defended by two wings to avoid being attacked by surprise. As for the rear army, it set off three hours later than the Chinese army.

The three armed forces use sentinel horses to transmit messages to each other, and when something happens, there are also special signals to transmit messages, so as to echo each other and cover each other.

On the first day of the march, the total distance was more than 80 miles.

Originally, this was not much, but in the infantry-based army of soldiers and horses, it was already very fast. Walking 80 miles in one day, the average person's feet have long been worn out. Han Jian hadn't traveled on horseback for a long time, and his body was a little unbearable at the end of the day, so as soon as he set up camp, he immediately returned to the camp tent and asked Yang Li'er to give him a "massage".

"Xianggong is too, if you can't hold it up, take the carriage first, you can take your time, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and it's easy to drag down my body if I ride it for so long at once." Yang Li'er complained while pressing Han Jian's body.

"I'm a young man, is it my generation's style to look ahead? Oh, lady, your hand is really powerful, give you such a press, I feel as light as a swallow, and then go to ride a horse for 108,000 miles, and I won't talk anymore. ”

Han Jian said with a smile, but was punched hard by Yang Li'er.

But at this moment, the guard at the door said loudly, saying that Lin Xiaoshu came to ask for a meeting.

"Steward Lin? Xianggong, what did she do? Not trying to ...... You can't do that......" Yang Li'er said with an innocent look as she said, "This woman wants to rob me of my father-in-law".

"Xiao Shu, she came to discuss with me about food and grass, lady, you are just thinking about it." Han Jian knew that Yang Li'er was pretending, but he still explained.

"Phew, it's not what is there? Hum. Yang Li'er got up angrily and ignored Han Jian anymore.

Han Jian naturally wouldn't let Lin Xiaoshu come to Yang Xiaoshu's camp tent to talk, so he left the camp tent and talked to Lin Xiaoshu outside.

"Young boy, the follow-up grain and grass has been prepared below, and the little girl has come to tell you." Lin Xiaoshu said with a calm face.

"So fast? It's still a little dream, you have the ability. I thought it would be delayed for some time. Han Jian said with a smile.

"The young boy has an overreputation, the little woman knows that the front line is tight now, if there is no this batch of autumn grain as a support, let alone His Majesty's personal expedition, even if my eldest brother's soldiers and horses are unsustainable. I did something wrong before, because I was too anxious and didn't take into account the feelings of the people. Please also ask the young man to punish. Lin Xiaoshu looked guilty.

"There is no doubt about employing people." Han Jian said, "Your ability is well known, even if you do something wrong, the fault is not yours. What's more, there will be conflicts every year about the matter of requisitioning grain, and if you are someone else, it will not be better than you, and you don't have to think too much in your heart. Just do what you are doing. ”

Lin Xiaoshu nodded, looking a little relieved.

"Xiao Shu, go back and rest. The march is very hard, if you can't hold on, then say, you haven't left the Jiangdu territory yet, you can stay and rest along the way, don't have to work too hard. Han Jian said.

Han Jian's original kind arrangement made Lin Xiaoshu feel as if he was being despised by him.

Lin Xiaoshu said with a stubborn face: "Young boy, this is looking down on people? ”

Han Jian grinned, this is really not to fight with Lin Xiaoshu, this woman is also terrible when she is crazy. A strong woman is best to go with the flow of everything.

Back at the camp, it was already dark. Han Jian and Yang Li'er had dinner first, and in the evening he had to convene a regular meeting of the generals, which was also the rule on the march, that is, a summary every day, and also to urge the generals under him to do things, not to say that they could slack off on the march.

"Will you go later?" Yang Li'er was eating, and her head suddenly turned to Han Jian and asked.

"How could His Majesty go? This is just an ordinary meeting, and His Majesty is supposed to remain in the military tent. Han Jian said.

"Oh." Yang Li'er nodded thoughtfully.

"Ling'er, why do you want to ask Your Majesty if you want to go? Don't...... Would you like to attend too? Han Jian asked.

"No, while resting on the march, His Majesty found someone to inform me, saying that he would accompany her after nightfall...... I, Xianggong, you know, I ...... I haven't been alone with His Majesty yet, so I don't know what to say. If Your Majesty goes to raise the tent, then you can wait for you to come back and let you go with me. Yang Li'er said with a difficult face.

Han Jianxin said, what kind of medicine is sold in the empress's gourd? actually let Yang Li'er go over to "accompany"?

Could it be that the empress is bored and lonely on the road and wants to find someone to talk to?

"Your Majesty asked you to pass, and you can't refuse. In this case, you go first, and when the meeting is over, I will go to the tent to pick you up. Han Jian said.

"Then Xianggong, you have to go and come back quickly. Concubinage...... I'm afraid that I'm anxious to be asked by His Majesty, and there are some things, so I can't help but say that it's not good to leak my mouth. Yang Li'er seemed to plead.

"Leaking your mouth? Don't...... What other things do we have to do with it? Han Jian said disapprerovingly.

Yang Li'er smiled and said, "For example, the woman outside Xianggong, oh, it's the little widow." I accidentally said, will His Majesty give that little widow to Xianggong as a partial concubine? I'm going to have to be careful not to slip my mouth. ”

When Han Jian heard it, this was really "strict". It's okay to say anything else, but you can't say anything about the problem of women outside.

After all, what a "little widow" is, there is no zài at all, it is the empress herself. If he said this, Han Jian couldn't imagine what the "consequences" would be.

"If you go later, Your Majesty will ask you, just accept it." After Han Jian finished speaking, he first went out of the tent to the Chinese army's tent for a meeting.

Han Jian thought to himself, it would be bad if something went wrong.

With this mentality, this routine military meeting, Han Jian ended hastily, anyway, the army has only been drawn for a day, and it is still around Jiangdu, even if it is a night attack, it is not so fast. He didn't need to worry about the march yet.

As soon as the meeting ended, Han Jian immediately went to the empress's bedroom to pick up Yang Li'er, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that there were guards guarding him, the brazier had already risen, and the two palace maids were also outside.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of the East." When the two palace maids saw Han Jian, they saluted in a hurry.

"陛xià可?" Han Jian asked.

"陛xià is ...... Talking to the princess of the east, and asking His Royal Highness the king of the east to wait outside. A palace maid replied.

Han Jianxin said, one of them is my wife, the other is the woman I pursue, or the current empress, if I say something that I don't like, it may affect my "rest" in the past few days, and in the long run, it may affect my happiness for a lifetime.

These two women, it's better to see each other less. (To be continued......)
