In Luoyang City, it is a matter for Han Jian and Yang Luochuan to discuss separately and will not be known to the third party. There are not many people who can be mobilized to play this play, and many of them are on the bright side, and they can't be called. Han Jian thought that the most suitable person was Li Yun, the princess of the Dead Kingdom of Xiliang, who was inextricably linked to the Xiwang Mansion, and he did not explain the true purpose of this assassination to Li Yun and Mrs. Luo in advance.

"King Nan is a little in a hurry." Han Jian didn't expect that the people and horses of the old department of Xiliang hadn't started to assassinate yet, and this Nanwangfu had acted on his own first, in Han Jian's mind, this was also a kind of distrust of Yang Luochuan towards him, Yang Luochuan was obviously worried that he would fake the show, and really took this opportunity to kill himself.

Although Han Jian did have the intention to kill Yang Luochuan, he also knew that now was not a good opportunity, as seen from the outside, if Luoyang really had a situation where the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu did not coincide, it would be a mess, Yang Luochuan had a three-long and two-short ending, and it was the court that was centrifuged.

Yang Luochuan smiled generously and said: "Don't worry, this king will be measured, and he will be cautious these days, and there will be no accidents." As for you, you should be cautious. ”

Han Jian listened to the meaning of Yang Luochuan's words, and it seemed that Yang Luochuan was also going to find someone to assassinate him in order to act a full set. Originally, the two parties were just here to act, but it seems that they both want to be serious, not just talking or just sending actors to make a show.

Han Jian smiled, didn't say much, got up and said goodbye and walked away. Originally, he and Yang Luochuan had a disagreement, which was related to the fact that the South Wangfu was now held hostage by the East Wangfu, and even Yang Luochuan himself was semi-house arrest in Luoyang City and could not leave the city, at this time, it was most appropriate to spread the news that the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu were not compatible. But only Yang Luochuan and Han Jian know that even if they look at each other in their hearts, it is not the time for infighting. After all, now that the foreign enemy is present, if something happens within the walls of his own courtyard, it will only cheapen the outsiders.

Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion, but saw that Han Cui's had been waiting for him for a long time, and at this time, Yang Li'er was actually in the main hall. Originally, Han Jian wanted to completely hide this matter from Yang Li'er, but now it seems that he can't.

"Athletes. Is Nanwang okay now? As soon as Han Jian entered the hall, Han Cuishi couldn't wait to ask. Because she did not shy away from Yang Li'er's presence when she spoke, Han Jian could also infer that Yang Li'er already knew about the matter.

"It's fine." Han Jian said that he also put his hand on Yang Li'er's back, comforting her a little, and then he gave a rough overview of the previous situation. It's just that Yang Luochuan's words about the matter being related to the Dongwang Mansion were omitted.

After hearing this, Han Cuishi sighed and said: "Now that Luoyang is stable and dìng first, it must be some gangsters who know this, so they sent people to assassinate them, Jian'er, you also have to deal with it carefully, most of these assassins are sent by people from the north." It was to be unfavorable to you before, and it was destroyed on your wedding day, although this Luoyang is the capital of the Wei Dynasty, it is also a dangerous place, and you should be cautious. ”

"That's what Sanniang said." Han Jian said perfunctorily, and then got up, meaning to send Yang Li'er back to the room.

Han Cui's didn't do much persuasion, and watched Han Jian and Yang Li'er leave together.

Wait for Han Jian and Yang Li'er to enter the inner courtyard together, in Yang Li'er's residence. Yang Li'er's face suddenly sank, and she was faintly wiping away her tears.

"Qiang'er. Are you worried about your father? Han Jian asked.

"Xianggong, but there is still something to hide from the concubine?" Yang Li'er didn't answer, but asked.

Han Jian listened to Yang Li'er's tone, and probably knew more than he imagined, thinking that he was acting on purpose before, and some things were to be publicized, so how could Yang Li'er, who had been waiting for news with Han Cui's in the main hall, not know?

Han Jian said: "Qi'er, did you hear any rumors? ”

Yang Li'er nodded lightly and said, "Someone came back to spread the word before, saying that it was my father who was interrogating the villain. Say that it is related to you. ”

Han Jian sighed: "This is obviously a villain who wants to provoke the relationship between the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu, who doesn't know that the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu are in the same breath now?" Even if I want to do that bad thing, it also depends on your face, do I want to make you sad and sad? ”

Yang Li'er was not too trusted. It was only when Han Jian deliberately concealed this matter in the main hall just now that she was worried. Originally, the pregnant woman was more sensitive, and Han Jian was relieved when he saw Yang Li'er's face a little happy.

"Xianggong, it's the concubine who is not in good health, and I suspect Xiang......gong for no reason," Yang Li'er suddenly bowed her head a little apologetically.

Han Jian said with a smile: "How can this be blamed on Qi'er, I didn't say it originally, I was afraid that you would be more careful in the future, and I wouldn't hide anything from you in the future." That's all right, right? ”

Yang Li'er smiled and nodded, but she didn't know that Han Jian was still hiding the whole thing from her. Han Jian sighed in his heart, but he also knew that this was for the sake of the overall situation, after all, there may also be a detailed work of the West Mansion or the North Mansion in the East Palace, if he didn't play a full set, how could others believe it?

……

……

In the afternoon, Han Jian was still sorting out some copywriting in Wu'an, and someone reported that the war in the north had changed.

Xiwangfu withdrew its troops from the prefectures and counties occupied by Beichuan.

Originally, the withdrawal of troops from the Western Wangfu was expected by the Eastern Wangfu, after all, the Xiwangfu sent troops this time to fight a time war, and he wanted to quickly take some states and counties and then enter Beichuan City, the capital of the Beiwangfu. After all, the Beiwangfu has frequent wars, long-term confrontation with the Xianbei people, and has rich experience in organizing operations and conscription. After experiencing the defeat in the Battle of Luoyang, the Northern Wangfu quickly stabilized its position and did not give the soldiers and horses of the Eastern and Western Wangfu a chance to continue to advance northward.

It was reasonable for Xiwangfu to withdraw its troops, but just giving up the occupied prefectures and counties and withdrawing troops without doing anything made Han Jian a little incomprehensible.

Han Jian calculated the days, and the intelligence office sent out that the large-scale withdrawal of troops from the Western Wangfu was three days ago, and three days ago was also the time when the Dongwangfu began to organize a large-scale withdrawal of troops back to Jiangdu. But it was also at this time that the envoy team of the Southern Qi was about to arrive in Luoyang.

This is a very critical point in time, it seems that the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu feel the pressure exerted by the imperial court, on the one hand, diplomacy, on the other hand, to recuperate, and it seems to be aware that the East Wangfu is now a big problem, so the withdrawal of the West Wangfu is aimed at the Luoyang Imperial Court and the East Wangfu. And the North Wangfu, a difficult bone to gnaw, the West Wangfu also chose not to gnaw.

In any case, if there is a change in the war in the north, the East Wangfu side must respond as soon as possible.

Han Jian immediately convened the highest-level military meeting in the Dongwang Mansion, and summoned many generals around Luoyang to enter the city to discuss it.

There were a lot of people attending the meeting, but most of them were generals of the Lin Zhan faction, and many of them were newly promoted court generals in Luoyang, but these people were originally stationed with a group of recruits with little combat experience, and they didn't know much about military affairs, so they also lacked the right to speak at this meeting.

"Young boy, now it seems that you should take the initiative to attack and send troops to attack the counties and counties outside Guanzhong?"

A strategist named Gongsun Yi said.

The counties and counties outside Guanzhong that Gongsun lost were talking about the counties occupied by the Western Wangfu between Guanzhong and Luoyang.

Although the Xiwangfu was nominally only developed in Guanzhong, in the two years of taking advantage of the chaos in the imperial court, the Xiwangfu had occupied most of the prefectures and counties between Luoyang and Guanzhong. The meaning of Gongsun's loss is obvious, since Xiwangfu is "favoring one over the other", it is natural to give him some color to see. In the eyes of some people in Gongsun Loss, the withdrawal of troops from the Western Wangfu was also because the battle line was too long, and it was not good for them to suffer from the two sides of the Beiwangfu and the imperial court.

Why didn't Han Jian want to directly send troops to capture Guanzhong? But he was well aware of the current situation, and it was precisely because he could not raise the army that he withdrew the army to Jiangdu. It's only been a few days since this army was withdrawn, and it has to be transferred back to attack Guanzhong? What to feed these soldiers and horses?

If you don't rely on these soldiers and horses, the problem will also arise, the current garrison around Luoyang is only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, how can you send troops to attack these states and counties while stabilizing the Luoyang defense line?

But Han Jian naturally couldn't say anything in public that the Dongwang Mansion couldn't reach, which would expose his shortcomings and make the enemy aware of his weakness.

Han Jian sighed: "There was an agreement between us and the Xiwangfu before, not to invade each other, the imperial court to take Luoyang, and the Xiwangfu to capture Beichuan. Now that the war has just subsided, we have broken our promises and will be reviled by the people of the world! That's not right! ”

After Zhang Xing was deprived of his generalship, Han Jian's prestige in the army had reached its peak, and there were not many generals who could refute Han Jian head-on, and even the generals in the court who had opinions on Han Jian did not dare to openly say anything disobedient after Han Jian gave instructions.

Therefore, when Han Jian set a basic argument, that is, not to compete head-on with the Xiwang Mansion, many people were silent at first, after all, what Gongsun said was also their thoughts. Now I don't have the permission of the king of the east, which means that this plan doesn't work.

Han Jian said again: "The Xiwangfu withdrew its troops from Beichuan, the intention is not clear for the time being, the Luoyang garrison is now tending to be perfect, and I am not afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Xiwangfu and Beichuan to sneak attack." However, there are still some responses, this king is ready to send a force of soldiers and horses to Luzhou City to station, to prevent Beichuan soldiers and horses from going south, I don't know which general is willing to take on this role? ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, everyone present was a little silent.

The matter of soldier and horse scheduling can be decided by Han Jian alone. Han Jian originally relied on authority in the army, Han Jian said that whoever is is who, now Han Jian took the initiative to ask who is willing to lead the troops, and it is not necessarily how much to bring, and he is going to the front line north of the Yellow River, and there may be a war at any time, and no one will generally come out to stare at the limelight to take over.

In most people's minds, it's a chore, and no one wants to take the initiative.

At this time, a man came out and said, "My subordinates are willing to take on this responsibility." ”

It was none other than Su Tingxia, the right envoy of the army under Zhang Xing. (To be continued......)
