At the same time, Han Jian set the day of the expedition, and also announced the matter to the world, Jiangdu and Yuzhou all walks of life, known as 500,000 troops, the soldiers were divided into two routes, Jiangdu soldiers and horses from Yangzhou to the south, Yuzhou soldiers and horses will take Chudi from Jiangling, wave troops to the east and Jiangdu soldiers and horses will join the army under Jinling City.

Su Tingxia's men and horses will cross the river with a vanguard army, and the Southern Dynasty has no time to take care of Chu because of the civil strife, and the entire Chu and Shu have fallen into the field of vision of Su Tingxia's department. Su Tingxia's troops were not many, and there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, but after capturing Jinling, he incorporated the surrender army of Jinling, and there were nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Among all the men and horses from all walks of life, only Su Tingxia's men and horses can recruit troops on the battlefield, and the rest of the men and horses are all for the purpose of disbanding the local garrison after capturing the city, which is also the military order issued by Han Jian in the army before.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the last day before Han Jian's expedition, Han Jian still didn't have much time to accompany the women around him, and Yang Rui insisted on going out with Han Jian, which Han Jian didn't want to see. Originally, Han Jian wanted Yang Rui to witness his success, but after Yang Rui became pregnant again, many events were different, Han Jian could no longer face Yang Rui with his previous mentality, he no longer needed to prove anything to Yang Rui, as long as Yang Rui could give birth to a son, then their son would become the crown prince, although all this may bring disaster to his dynasty in the future.

Han Jian's heirs are still young, even the eldest son Han Xi is not yet three years old, but abolishing the elder and the young, will bring trouble to the inheritance of the emperor's heirs in the future, Han Jian still doesn't know what Han Xi will look like in the future, if he inherits his martial arts, he will inevitably be annoyed with his father, why he favors one over the other in the succession. Even those aunts around Han Jian will not stand in Yang Rui's position, and Han Xi has long been regarded as the prince of the East King in the East Palace, which is also the reason why Yang Li'er's position in the East Palace and even the palace can be stable.

Han Jian decided to go on the expedition. The matter came so suddenly, he didn't even discuss it with the people around him in advance, and the woman in the family only learned about Han Jian's specific date of departure after getting the announcement of the world's list. On this day, the family was waiting for him to return early, because he would set foot on the army early in the morning. Take the troops to Yangzhou. This time Han Jian's situation is different from the previous battle against Xianbei, he can no longer be dragged in the rear of the "wonder soldier", in the battle line of the east road, Han Jian will directly lead the troops south, whether it is Su Tingxia or Lin Zhan will not be able to help him, Han Jian's generals in Jiangdu are not famous generals who have made great achievements in the previous years, and even Han Jian has to be responsible for the matter of leading the troops.

At noon on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Han Jian personally met with the military generals of Wenchen who drove to Jiangdu. Every time two or three people were summoned, it was regarded as giving a full account of the affairs after he left Jiangdu, and Han Jian still handed over the most important things to Ning Yuan to be responsible for. Ning Yuan is in charge of civil affairs, and the Jiangdu garrison is handed over to Sima Jin, Ning Yuan will not be involved in the dispatch of garrison soldiers and horses, but with Ning Yuan's identity as Lingshangshutai, there are also some of his connections in the army. He can still send some of his men, and he may do something of usurpation.

“…… I sent 20,000 soldiers and horses. Now this road has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties. When Han Jian met with Ning Yuan and Sima Jin, he exposed his "hole cards" to outsiders for the first time.

Han Jian's secret dispatch of troops was originally known only to Lin Zhan, Su Tingxia and Daxiliu in the entire Wei Dynasty, and this group of people boarded the ship from the coast of Dengzhou, but in fact, they themselves did not know where to go. Han Jian had been secretly training the navy for two years, and during these two years, one person disappeared from the sight of the entire world, who had made great achievements in the battles of Jiangdu and Luoyang, but was later stripped of his military position due to an internal coup. This person is Han Jian's former guard commander, and Zhang Xing, the general who originally led the generalissimo of Jiangdu's soldiers and horses.

After Zhang Xing returned to his hometown, he did not ask about military and political affairs for a few months, Han Jian later formed a naval army, specifically to deal with the war with the Southern Dynasties, Zhang Xing initially recruited only more than 3,000 sailors, and after several expansions, the size of the navy exceeded 20,000.

The navy is mainly composed of warships, supplemented by troop carriers, and they live on deck on weekdays, and in summer the ships will train in the Bohai Sea generation, and in the winter they will withdraw to the coastal generation of Jiangdu. The warships were built by the weapons divisions set up in various parts of Jiangdu, and the artillery was designed by Han Jian himself, using not black powder, but carefully prepared yellow powder, which was far more powerful than ordinary earth cannons.

The warships had set out from Dengzhou two months earlier, and after a replenishment by Jiangdu, they went directly south, landing on the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, 600 miles away from Jinling, and achieved the goal of interfering with the defense of Jinling City from the rear.

Before Zhu Tongjing's soldiers and horses captured Yangzhou immediately sent troops to Jinling, on the day of the loss of Jinling City, Zhu Tongjing learned two things that shocked him, Han Jian in addition to helping him steal control of Jinling, but also set up a time bomb in the rear of the Southern Dynasty, and even King Hui Xiao Ling and Empress Xiao Zhan also withdrew from Jinling before he led the troops to occupy the Jinling Palace, and led the troops to the south to wait for King Qin's soldiers and horses.

Zhu Tongjing thought that everything was what he expected, but in the end he only occupied Jinling City, and even Xiao Ling and Xiao Zhan failed to kill or control him.

Ning Yuan and Sima Yi learned of the specific situation, their reactions were completely different, Ning Yuan was most afraid of Han Jian's liquidation of the Southern Dynasty after he pacified him, he wanted to prevent Han Jian from sending troops too smoothly, and he had to create certain difficulties for Han Jian, and it was best to return from the Southern Dynasty in vain this time. As for Sima Jin, his main task is to guard Jiangdu, and other things have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care much about Han Jian's secret dispatch of troops, but he is a little more concerned about his son Sima Yin's affairs in the Southern Dynasty, but Han Jian deliberately avoided the topic of Sima Ji.

Han Jian counted the days, and in a few days, Sima Yi should arrive in Xuding with Li Fangwei. On the day Sima Yi arrived in Xuding, that is, when the situation in the Southern Dynasty was completely chaotic, Han Jian expected Zhu Tongjing's cunning in all his initial plans, expected the interference brought by Prince Yan Ning's old department, and also expected that Li Shanye and other people in the rivers and lakes would disturb the situation for Sima Yi, who had expected his former friend, who had almost faded out of his field of vision, to stir up the situation.

When Sima Yi decided to go to Xu Ding, it meant that he wanted to use his own way to lead the troops to maintain the pattern of confrontation between the North and the South, and in Han Jian's mind, this was Sima Yi's dream of walking the world to be a chivalrous and righteous hero, and he couldn't do it, and he used another way to achieve his revenge, which was also an excuse for the country and the people. It's just that Sima Yi chose to break and then stand, and Han Jian advocated the unification of mountains and rivers.

Meeting with the ministers of the army and the imperial court one after another, Han Jian spent more than two hours sorting out some government decrees, and looking at the sky, it was close to sunset.

In the past, Han Jian had to go on the expedition. will decide in advance who will let the women around you go with you. Han Jian is a person who is afraid of loneliness, he always hopes to be accompanied by a woman around him, as a way to pass the boredom and loneliness on the journey, in the past, Yang Rui, Yang Li'er, Lin Xiaoshu, Song Suqing and Fa Yi have all been accompanied by him when he went on the expedition, originally this time Han Jian has decided to let Yang Rui go with him, but with Yang Rui pregnant, Han Jian still wants Yang Rui to stay, and Fa Yi is the candidate for escort.

Fa is also indifferent by nature, and he has martial arts. A lot of the time, it can protect him, and it can also provide a necessary helping hand in some critical times.

As for the others, even Lin Xiaoshu and Song Suqing, the two people in charge of the transportation of grain, grass and weapons in the army, he also had to stay in Jiangdu, this time the significance of the First World War in the South was different from the past, Han Jian didn't want the women around him to suffer any harm, even if he was reluctant, he had to put it down for the time being. can make him more distracted, so that he can fight this battle well.

Han Jian's decision to go on the expedition was very hasty. Many things were not prepared in advance, and when he wanted to go on an expedition in the past, he would inevitably go to comfort all the women around him in advance, so that they would also have a chance to say goodbye, so as not to really go back and let the people around him not even leave a memory. But this time he really didn't want to see it. Even Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er didn't want to see each other.

Seeing the sunset and dusk, Han Jian just sent someone back to spread the word, telling him that he would not return to the Dongwang Mansion at night, but would stay in the military yamen.

But Han Jian still found someone to notify Fa Yi, in the name of asking Fa Yi to send clothes. When I came to the military affairs yamen, I actually wanted to stay in France and be by my side, and we would go on the expedition together on the second day.

Han Jian didn't prepare to make much pomp and circumstance this time, and the next day he would personally lead some of the palace guards to the army, and among the accompanying guards, there were several special people who were disciples of the Shangqing Palace, including Song Suqing's sister Song Zhi'er, as well as Han Jian's sister-in-law Han Qi'er, as well as several new generals in the army.

One of them has a very special identity, that is, Luo Beihuan, a student of the imperial scrivener who has just been appointed by Han Jian as the crown prince Xian Ma, he will go out with the army commander Shi Lai, of course, what can a student do in the army, Han Jian himself has not thought clearly, or just wants to fulfill him and Han Qi'er, so that they have the opportunity to get along more. At the same time, Han Jian felt that this Luobei was still a little similar to Sima Yi, since Sima Yi had betrayed his former friendship and chose to help the Southern Dynasty court, Han Jian seemed to be looking for a stand-in by his side.

After nightfall, Han Jian didn't have much appetite, and sat alone in the military affairs yamen looking at the cumbersome official documents, the battle report in front, and the government affairs notebook sent by Luoyang in the rear. Yang Xi, who is in Luoyang, is dealing with some things for the first time as a prisoner, he doesn't have much experience at all, the court in Luoyang is like a transit station, what news is there, it is also sent to Jiangdu after Yang Xi has seen it, everything still has to be handed over to Shangshutai, and then the Shangshutai ticket will be played to Han Jian.

The local customs and customs, including the harvest, the integrity of officials, and the flattery of local officials, are just a few examples.

Just when Han Jian was bored and a little upset about the expedition to the coming day, Fa Yi came in person, behind her, in addition to the two guards who came over carrying the box, there was another woman next to Han Jian, Ke Qu'er, who was very low-key after entering the palace.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty." Fa also saluted first, followed by Ke Qu'er, although Ke Qu'er didn't want to face Han Jian as a "concubine", as a person like her, she was used to living a free and easy life, and it would be very uncomfortable to be restrained, and she had complained to Han Jian more than once, and in private, she didn't have to salute in a very respectful way.

Han Jian nodded slightly, stood up to greet him, waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat, and when the people left, he smiled at Fa Yi, and there was a kind of serenity and pampering in his smile. For Fa Yi, he can be said to take good care of Fa Yi, although Fa Ye was her teacher, but Han Jian used a lot of care for Fa Ye.

But when he looked at Ke Qu'er, Han Jian's eyes were like looking at a little girlfriend who was fighting with him.

"I didn't let you come, why did you come here?" Han Jian asked in a very stiff tone, and immediately asked Ke Qu'er to lower his head.

Fa also explained on the side: "The princesses of the county are not at ease, knowing that Your Majesty will go on the expedition tomorrow, and they are afraid that there will be no one around to take care of them, so let Concubine Min come together, and there will be many cares on the road." ”

Han Jian knew that his aunts had always been unaccustomed to people like Ke Qu'er, Ke Qu'er was snubbed by many people whether it was in the East Palace's Mansion or the palace, this time Han Jian's aunts abandoned their previous suspicions and let her come, mainly because they liked Ke Qu'er's good martial arts and could protect Han Jian's safety. After all, there are many unexpected factors on the battlefield, and having one more person with strong martial arts to protect the holy car can increase Han Jian's safety factor a lot.

Ke Qu'er said: "If you don't like it, the concubine will go back." ”

was about to turn around and leave, but was pulled back by Han Jian. Han Jian sighed and said: "Since we are here, we will go together tomorrow, there are not many times when we can be together on weekdays, and along the way, it should be regarded as falling in love." ”

Ke Qu'er smiled slightly, in the end, she chose to stay by Han Jian's side because of her feelings for Han Jian, when she was fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, and when she was also friends and enemies with Han Jian, she was tantamount to being coaxed by Han Jian's rhetoric.

Han Jian walked over and opened the box, which was full of clothes he wanted to wear, from summer to winter, from single clothes to heavy cotton clothes, and even shoes and socks, many of which were made by these graceful women around him, knowing that Han Jian was leaving, he was reluctant, and he couldn't even see the last side, so he took advantage of Han Jian to let people go back to bring clothes, and almost pinned all their worries on this box of clothes.

"It's too much, it's to go to war, and it's not a trip to the mountains and rivers, it's best to travel lightly on the road." Han Jian suddenly sighed.

Fa Ye came over and asked, "But do you need to send some back?" ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "It's all heart, who is the right person to send back?" Forget it, let's stay, it's a big deal to leave tomorrow with two more linings. Seeing that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, I still couldn't stay with them......"

Han Jian has been fighting outside the country in the past few years, and he often can't reunite with the women in his family during the New Year's holidays, but now he is about to go on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is still unknown whether he can come back before the end of the year.

"The last battle is over, if it can be ended earlier, the world will be stable, and there will be a chance to stay with you for a long time in the future." Han Jian finally sighed. (To be continued.) )
