Because of the lag of the news, Han Jian got this information, but it was also six days before and after Su Tingxia's defeat. In other words, six days ago, Su Tingxia's department had already suffered a setback.

"Send someone to inform the generals in Luoyang to go to the military station to discuss the matter." Han Jian read the battle report and explained to the general in charge who came to deliver the war report that he also had to prepare and immediately go to the yamen of the military station to hold an urgent military meeting.

"Jian'er, but do you need Erniang to go with you?" Han Songshi looked at Han Jian a little nervously and asked.

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Han Jian explained to Fa Ye again, and asked Fa Ye to go back and continue to rest first. But such a big thing happened on the front line, no matter who gets the news, they will be nervous, how can they still sleep?

Half an hour later, Han Jian had already arrived at the yamen of the military station, and at this time, the generals from the Eastern Palace's Mansion and the imperial court were also coming one after another.

When Han Jian entered the conference hall, the generals present saluted one after another.

Han Jian didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand, and by the way, asked people to hand over the summary of all the battle reports on the front line to him.

Because of the blockade of the Xianbei people on the northern border, there are certain problems in the transmission of messages. Originally, Su Tingxia's urgent report to Luoyang should have arrived in Luoyang two days ago, but the information was intercepted halfway. It is unclear whether the Xianbei people knew the news of the defeat of Su Tingxia's troops.

"This General Su is inevitably a little too light for the enemy to advance. Originally, it was steady and steady, and within half a year, the Bohai State would inevitably be a vassal, so why do you need to be in such a hurry? ”

Before Han Jian could speak, some veteran generals had already spoken out.

It is also Su Tingxia who is not popular, the Confucian school thinks that he is a murderous demon, and the generals of the Eastern Prince's Mansion are not convinced of him, and the generals of the imperial court faction hate him even more. Su Tingxia's reputation in Luoyang has always been very poor, and now he is defeated. Many people want to take advantage of the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Han Jian ignored these voices, and kept looking at the battle reports coming from the front line.

One thing that made Han Jian feel strange was that the front-line battle report was very vague in the description of some situations. Although he suffered a defeat, Han Jian knew very well that Su Tingxia had been reduced to zero, and maybe a few people were taken advantage of by the Bohai people to counterattack, but with Su Tingxia's wit. It will not reach the point of total annihilation. When Su Tingxia had a marching plan before, he had presented a detailed catalogue of the division of troops to Luoyang, and the arrangements for all walks of life could be said to be very detailed. But in today's battle report, there is no mention of which people and horses have an accident, but only some very empty casualty figures.

Originally, Su Tingxia's department was a miscellaneous army, with the gathering of people from all walks of life, coupled with the previous shortage of military food, there were not a few deserters. Su Tingxia's own losses are completely indistinguishable.

Han Jian guessed that either Su Tingxia had a different heart. In the name of defeat, he actually wanted to stand on his own. Or maybe Su Tingxia really suffered some defeats, and the situation was very bad, so that Su Tingxia didn't have time to explain it in detail.

Neither of these scenarios is very likely, Han Jian guessed another possibility. It was Su Tingxia who was defeated and tried to level the Bohai Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Some of the soldiers and horses contacted by the Bohae royal family this time were remnants of the Balhae Kingdom, and some were reinforcements invited from the Silla Kingdom. Although at the beginning of the war. It may be that the Silla soldiers and horses have sufficient food and strong military spirit, and they may take advantage of some advantages. But when he met Su Tingxia, who was as cunning as a wolf, Han Jian felt that this group of people was not pleased.

"Everyone's here?" Han Jian put down the battle report and raised his head to look at the people present.

"Young boy, you can start." The staff member on duty will give a recital.

Han Jian nodded and circulated the battle report from the front line. Many people only roughly know that something happened on the front line of the Bohai Kingdom, and they are not very clear about what happened. waited to know that it was Su Tingxia's war report. Many people are also stunned, and everyone knows that it is precisely because of Su Tingxia's containment that the Xianbei people have to temporarily withdraw their troops. If Su Tingxia is defeated, the Xianbei people may make a comeback, not to mention Beichuan City at that time. Even Luoyang City will be dangerous.

"What do you think?"

When it was almost circulated, Han Jian looked around at the generals present and asked in a solemn voice.

"Young boy, should I send reinforcements to the north?" A younger general asked.

The veteran on the side immediately retorted: "From Luoyang to Bohai Mountain, the mountains and rivers are far away, and when the reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid I won't even be able to collect the bones." ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, and said: "Now that the first line of Beiguan has been occupied by the Xianbei people, and General Lin's men and horses are all in Beichuan, it is not easy to rush to help." Send others to go, and now Luoyang can't draw too many soldiers and horses. ”

When Han Jian said this, it was tantamount to blocking the road to help. In this way, even if some people think that it is justified to rush to help, they can no longer continue to talk about this issue.

"That young man, now send someone to inform General Su to withdraw his troops, I don't know if it's still too late?" Another general asked.

Han Jian was silent for a moment, and he could only reserve his opinion for the time being.

What is the situation on the front line of the Bohai State can only be analyzed from the battle reports on the front line, but it is somewhat inaccurate after all. It is easy to make a judgment now, and it is easy to make things worse, so that Su Tingxia's department is completely on the verge of destruction.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East, someone from the palace has come to pass the decree and summon His Highness into the palace to speak." Han Jianzheng was silent, and the herald came in at the door to deliver a message.

The people present naturally understood that it was the empress in the palace who learned about the battle report on the front line and wanted to pass Han Jian into the palace to say.

Originally, this kind of emergency meeting should have been convened by Yang Rui, who was the emperor. But because all the military and political power is now in Han Jian's hands, Han Jian didn't even send someone to inform the palace in advance.

"Got it." Han Jian said, "You continue to discuss first, and this king will enter the palace." ”

Han Jian left the yamen of the military station and rushed to the palace non-stop.

When he arrived at the palace, Yang Rui was already dressed and waiting for him in Ye'an Pavilion.

Seeing Han Jian, Yang Rui seemed to be angry, and he didn't know whether he was angry with Yang Xiuxiu before he got angry with Han Jian, or because Han Jian convened an emergency meeting without notifying her.

"Your Majesty Xià ......" There were palace maids and little eunuchs present, but Han Jian still saluted respectfully.

As soon as Yang Rui waved his hand, the palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew from the palace gate. Han Jian stepped forward, Yang Rui smiled coldly and said, "Or was I right, the surname Su was defeated?" ”

Han Jian sighed, Yang Rui's tone of saying this made him a little uncomfortable, a little gloating.

"It's a bit early to say that." Han Jian said, "The battle reports from the front line are still coming one after another. However, one thing is certain, the Silla people sent troops to rescue the Bohai people, although I don't know what the conditions are, but the Silla army lineup should be neat and tidy over the Bohai people, which should not be underestimated. ”

"Silla?"

Yang Rui frowned slightly, and said with some disdain, "It's just a small country, I sent people across the sea to my Great Wei to pay tribute before, but I didn't go to see it in person." I didn't expect to dare to start a war with our dynasty, and I also ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall. ”

Han Jian sighed, although Yang Rui's insight and courage made him a little admired, but after all, Yang Rui still had the lofty mentality of the emperor of the Celestial Empire. For some small countries on the periphery, it is very unsightly.

But Han Jian knows very well that now these small border countries, in order to survive, almost all the people are soldiers, and there are constant disputes within their tribes, and the soldiers still have good combat effectiveness. Only in weapons, it could lag behind the army of the Wei dynasty.

But after all, Su Tingxia's army relied on grabbing all the way to support the war, and the most advantageous place was not so obvious. In addition, Su Tingxia's troops drove all the way in, and it was inevitable that there would be an arrogant mentality among the soldiers, and it was reasonable to lose the first battle when they encountered the Silla people who were gaining momentum.

Han Jian didn't tell Yang Rui this, he knew that even if he did, Yang Rui might not listen to it.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Yang Rui raised his head and asked.

"I'm ready to wait and see." Han Jian said.

Yang Rui frowned and said, "Are you crazy? Isn't it to wait for him to perish? Although I don't look down on the person surnamed Su, but he has tens of thousands of soldiers of my Great Wei in his hands, what if he loses this time, if Bohai, Silla and Xianbei are connected and come to the territory of our Wei Dynasty? ”

Han Jianxin said that you also had a time when you were worried, and you said so many frustrating words before that.

"It's hard to say whether the front line is winning or losing now, although Su Tingxia is just starting the battle, but Rui'er, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with his conspiracy methods. I always wanted to ask you before, the person who helped Su Tingxia behind the scenes to bring down the Northern Palace, but you? ”

Yang Rui looked at Han Jian and said, "Why do you think so?" ”

"Just asking, you don't want to say no." Han Jian said.

"It's like I'm going to calculate who's going to do it." Yang Rui was a little dissatisfied, "Although I hated the Beiwangfu at that time, I would not cooperate with a person who had been a traitor to the wolf of the Beiwangfu. The person behind the scenes is clearly the West Palace, as the East King, there are so many people under your hands to investigate, won't these still be found out to this day, right? ”

Han Jian sighed in his heart, he also believed too much that it was the Xiwang Mansion that helped Su Tingxia behind him. Now it seems that the fact that the Xiwang Mansion is Su Tingxia's behind-the-scenes helper is completely false, and it is likely to be an illusion made up by Yang Rui.

This is related to Lu Shaokun's death that year. Yang Rui has always insisted that Lu Shaokun is from the West Palace, and what he said is that the evidence is conclusive, so he gave Lu Shaokun to death. But later Han Jian found out that Lu Shaokun had been working hard for Yang Rui, and the connection with Xiwangfu was equivalent to nothing. Han Jian then guessed that perhaps Lu Shaokun was at the behest of Yang Rui and supported Su Tingxia behind the scenes to bring down the Northern Mansion in the name of the West Palace. It's just that later the matter was stirred up by Han Jian, and Yang Rui saw that the matter couldn't be hidden, so he simply gave Lu Shaokun to death.

Yang Rui's attitude towards Su Tingxia began with Han Jian's appointment of Su Tingxia. The more obvious Yang Rui did, the more Han Jian felt that things were not so simple. Perhaps Yang Rui is expecting Su Tingxia to pacify the Northern Wangfu and even the Xianbei people, and become a military force under her that can counterbalance the Eastern Wangfu.

So now that there is news of Su Tingxia's defeat on the Bohai Sea, Yang Rui is so sensitive and nervous. (To be continued......)
