The battle between the Eastern King Army and the Northern King Army was in full swing, and in the camp of the Eastern King Army, forty miles away from the main battlefield, Han Jian was very leisurely accompanying the empress to "step on the snow" on the barracks.

In winter, the snow stopped, and the empress's health improved, so it was the time to go out for a walk and cultivate her body. Han Jian recommended himself and took the initiative to accompany the empress out for a walk.

The barracks were originally very noisy, but on this day, most of the generals were sent to the battlefield in the north, and the camp seemed a little empty.

"King Dong, aren't you worried about the progress of the war?" The empress looked at Han Jian leisurely and raised her eyes to look at the warm sunlight in the sky, and couldn't help frowning at him, "The war is tight, you actually ...... Also idle from this? ”

Han Jian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, in fact, I am very afraid of death in my heart." If there is bad news on the front-line battlefield, they are ready to run away with their wives and children. ”

"At such times, Hugh is talking nonsense!" The empress scolded with a straight face, but she couldn't raise the anger in her heart.

The war is urgent, and Han Jian's mentality as a coach is naturally a good thing, but she has higher requirements for Han Jian. Such a battle is related to the question of who belongs to Luoyang, and it is also related to the military pattern of the Central Plains region for a period of time in the future. In such a big battle, Han Jian should have been studying the strategy and discussing the formation without sleep, but in addition to retreating sixty miles with his soldiers and horses, Han Jian came out so easily and naturally to accompany her to enjoy the snow.

"Your Majesty, how do you see this barracks and how it is different from usual?" Han Jian pointed to the few soldiers scattered in the barracks and asked.

The empress said angrily: "There are fewer people." ”

"Yes. The soldiers are doing what they have to do. They are killing enemies for the country, and they may sacrifice their lives for the country at any time, and in the hearts of the ministers, they are also blessing them, hoping that they can go back to see their wives and children. Han Jian seemed to say something from the bottom of his heart.

The empress gave him a blank look and said, "Most of your soldiers have never experienced bloody storms, so how can you be sure that they will not escape from the battle?" ”

Han Jian was asked by the empress, his face did not become serious, but he smiled slyly.

"Why are you laughing? Soldiers sacrificed their lives. You're still laughing. What's so funny? The Empress glared at Han Jian and asked.

"I don't know." Han Jian said with a smile, "The day before yesterday, I sent out the 11th Left Guard Horse, where is the division of troops, in fact...... It's to freeze them. 陛xià can know. People in times of extreme cold. Always want to run. Energize your muscles and bones to warm up a bit. In addition, when the body is cold, the heart will forget about fear for the time being. I'll let the right guard horses have a heart of comparison. At the beginning of the war, the right guard went first, and the soldiers of the left guard who had been frozen for two days were stimulated to be bloody, and they still had the heart to be deserters? ”

The empress frowned and said, "Where did you learn this?" This...... Also the art of war? ”

"Wild roads, they are all wild roads, this is called psychology, and Your Majesty may not understand it very well." Han Jian said with a smile.

"Psychology? What to learn? It's weird, I don't know what to call it! The empress thought for a moment and cursed.

Although the empress didn't think much of what Han Jian was talking about, in extraordinary times, she could only believe that what Han Jian said was true. More than two hours have passed since the start of the war, and if there is a defeat on the battlefield, there will be news from the front line long ago.

And from the barracks to the battlefield to the north, it was forty miles away. The Empress thought to herself that perhaps the dust had settled on the north, but the news had not yet arrived.

Han Jian was saying that a group of cavalry in the barracks came back, dragging behind a few people who looked like mountain village husbands who were tied up. Han Jian knew that this was the person he sent out to capture the patrol. At a glance, the mountain village man knew that he had been disguised, either as an enemy sentry or as a deserter.

"What's going on?" Han Jian stepped forward with the empress.

"Lord, grab a few enemy sentry spies, tie them back together, and hand them over to the lord to send them down." A general got off his horse and saluted Han Jian.

"Extraordinary times, isn't it a pre-battle solution?"

Han Jian felt unusual in his heart, and at this time, suddenly a few mountain and wild villagers on the ground seemed to be relieved, and the rope was untied without untying itself, and they rushed towards Han Jian one by one.

Han Jian's entourage was twenty steps away, originally Han Jian was afraid that these people would disturb his chatting with the empress, but now he didn't expect that someone wanted to disadvantage him in a hurry.

However, Han Jian is not a vegetarian, in this situation, he is just a few ordinary soldiers, and he can't get into him at all. Han Jian was cautious, and also knew that the empress was unwell now, and might not be suitable to do it, so he kicked away a ball of snow, blurring the vision of several mountain and wild villagers in front of him, and then Han Jian drew his sword to block left and right, and slashed three or four people in a row, and the remaining few were invincible and wanted to escape, but they were all killed by the guards who followed behind.

"My lord spares his life!" The general who spoke just now only said one word, and the long sword had passed through his belly, and the person was already lying on the ground and only twitched twice, and the person lost his breath.

From the first sentence of the general's title of "lord", Han Jian suspected that it was a fine work sent by the Northern Palace. may have been mixed in the army of the Eastern King, but he just changed into a general's uniform, and he used the title of the Northern King to get by.

"Is Your Majesty okay?" Han Jian stepped forward and looked at the empress with concern.

The empress glanced at Han Jian and said, "This is the result of you sending soldiers and horses and leaving an empty camp?" ”

"Your Majesty laughed, maybe it was the improper guards that allowed these people to get in, and the responsible person must be held accountable afterwards!" Han Jian said with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. If the Empress knew how many men he had left behind in the barracks, the Empress would not just come to scold him, but also beat him.

"Why don't you see Lin Shangshu and them?" The empress suddenly remembered Lin Ke and asked.

"Oh, Lin Shangshu stepped forward to supervise the battle." Han Jian said casually.

The empress raised her eyebrows and said, "Supervising the war? ”

"That's right, the military generals are brave at the moment, and the civil officials are supervising the battle in the rear, isn't this the tradition of my Wei Dynasty's march?"

The empress said angrily: "That's also a civilian official with the army, Lin Shangshu is an old scholar, what kind of war can he supervise?" You won't ...... The rest of the civilian officers with the army were sent out together? ”

Han Jian spread his hands and said that he was "powerless". The empress sighed and asked, "Officers and soldiers in the army, how much do you have left?" ”

"Some of them will be panting, some of them will be wounded and unable to move, and some of them will stay in the carriage for us to escape, and they will be guards. Miscellaneous, about ...... Seventy or eighty people. ”

The empress was stunned and said, "Say it again." ”

"Seventy or eighty...... Or else, fifty or sixty? ”

The Empress almost fainted on the spot. There are only fifty or sixty people stationed in the huge military camp?

The empress turned to anger and said, "I still wonder how I have walked in the barracks for half a day and saw few people...... You, King of the East, thought it was child's play? Aren't you afraid that the Northern King Army will notice it and send troops and horses to make a detour? ”

Han Jian smiled: "Your Majesty, didn't the minister say it, the minister is afraid to die." The minister has already told Li'er that if there is anything wrong with the front-line war, needless to say, jump on the horse first, and then bring two horses over to me and His Majesty, our family of three, and just leave. ”

Originally, the empress just thought that Han Jian was talking nonsense casually, and she didn't take it seriously, but at this time, Han Jian really wanted to cry without tears.

In a war, when it came to such a field, the empress also felt that she really didn't know what to scold.

"Why don't you go to the front?" The Empress asked in a slightly softened tone.

"Ministers are afraid of death." Han Jian said truthfully.

"The main general is not on the front line, the morale of the army is shaken, what should you do if the soldiers change?"

"With His Majesty and Xiang'er, a family of three escaped."

The empress turned completely angry, flicked her wide sleeves, turned around and walked in the direction of her camp, walking with a resolute face, as if she did not have a common language with Han Jian.

"Your Majesty, where are you going in a hurry?" Han Jian chased after a few steps and asked.

"Do I have to pack up my things and prepare to run for my life?"

Han Jian knew that the empress was talking about anger, so he chased after him and said, "Why should your majesty be like this? In fact, the war was not as strict as His Majesty imagined! ”

The empress stopped, turned her head to stare at Han Jian's face, and said, "Now that the sentries of the Northern King Army have all been killed in the barracks, you are still so insignificant!" I...... It's wrong for you. ”

The empress turned around and took two more steps, but the person was already hugged by Han Jian from behind.

"Release!" As soon as the empress was shocked, Han Jian's hands were numb, and he had to let go.

Han Jian asked himself that his martial arts were not as good as the empress, even if the empress was sick, one could beat him several times. The empress's tofu is inedible.

"Your Majesty listens to the minister." Han Jian said earnestly, "Now in a battle with the Northern King Army, I and His Majesty will become the key to this war, if you and I go to the front line, there are three long and two short, even if the Northern King Army is wiped out, it will be a victory on the battlefield, who will Luoyang belong to in the future, have you ever thought about it?" ”

The empress was slightly stunned, she couldn't answer this question for a while.

If both the East King and the Empress are dead, Luoyang will be occupied by the North Wangfu or the West Wangfu in the future...... Although it is the Yang clan, it is no longer royal orthodoxy.

Han Jian continued: "Your Majesty, now that the prince has not returned, His Majesty is what the people of the world want. His Majesty's body was sick, and the minister also thought of His Majesty, so he stayed in the army to take care of it. If His Majesty thinks that the minister's move is inappropriate, and now there is a carriage waiting outside, I and His Majesty will go to the front line with those dozens of people, and live and die together with the soldiers of our Eastern King Army. ”

The empress turned her head and said softly, "So, I blamed you for it. ”

Hearing the empress call herself "me", Han Jian's heart widened, stepped forward, and took the empress's hand.

The empress glanced at the guards far away behind Han Jian, but she didn't break free.

"Your Majesty, why don't we want to think about it, entering Luoyang City, the world of you and me?" Han Jian's "conspiracy" succeeded, pretending to be innocent, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"I thought you were speaking sincerely, but it turned out that you were just saying something to perfunctory me!" The empress glared at Han Jian, and suddenly twitched her hand, but was accidentally caught by Han Jian's scabbard and broke the skin.

"Is it okay?" Han Jian took the empress's hand again with concern.

The empress looked at Han Jian's concerned face, and no matter how resentful she was, she couldn't eliminate it invisibly.

The empress sighed leisurely: "When you arrive in Luoyang, I am yours, and you can't escape!" (To be continued......)
