At this time, Han Jian did not have many soldiers and horses on hand, and it was almost impossible to build a solid barrier. It can only rely on the high walls of the city north of Jiangdu to defend it.

When Han Jian also informed Yang Li'er of the details, even Yang Li'er felt embarrassed. She began to understand why Han Jian had chosen to defend rather than take the initiative from the start, because Jiangdu's outer shell looked solid, but the actual center was empty.

Han Jian and Yang Li'er planned again, but it was only on paper for the time being. Subsequently, Han Jian would inform the newly established military department yamen of the Dongwang Mansion of some strategic arrangements, and put the contents on paper into practice.

Soon it was the end of the first month, and at this time Luozhou was almost under siege.

After several sieges, the Luoyang army did not capture Luozhou, but instead entered the siege, with the intention of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. The reinforcements sent by Jiangdu from both flanks of Luozhou could only be temporarily oppressed fifty or sixty miles south of Luozhou City, and they could not advance an inch.

The number of reinforcements itself is not much, and the Luoyang army is extremely strong, whether it is Han Jian or the generals on the front line, they all feel that they should temporarily avoid the edge of the Luoyang army. In this case, it is tantamount to ignoring Luozhou.

In the city of Luozhou, the gentry and the common people, and even the defenders, also had the heart to slack off. After that, news spread to Jiangdu, saying that Luozhou Taishou might surrender, and it was also said that the soldiers and horses in the city would break through and go south.

The battle is stalemate, and it is not uncommon for rumors to be flying all over the sky. Han Jian didn't pay attention to the gossip outside, and these rumors were probably spread from Luoyang, in order to disturb the morale of the army.

And in the city of Luozhou, the news that Dongwangfu was going to abandon Luozhou also spread.

Originally, this news could not be regarded as a rumor. But in the context of the war situation, it can only be regarded as a rumor, after all, the military and civilians of Luozhou do not want to see such a result.

Subsequently, another army was sent north from the Jiangdu side, with about 10,000 horses, which was seen as a third reinforcement. After receiving this news, the military and civilians of Luozhou also temporarily stabilized their hearts.

The stalemate of the battle situation is gradually developing in a direction that is unfavorable to the East Palace. At the same time, there were some "uninvited guests" from Luoyang, who were the "fleeing teams" of some family valves.

These Saga gate valves. At the beginning of Yang Yu's usurpation. They are all Yang Yu's "Shunmin", and even Han Jian doesn't quite understand why these families will move to Jiangdu in just over two months. The team of the Saga Gate Valve is too large. So much so that Han Jian had a different heart. After all, so many people are on the move. It is impossible for Yang Yu not to hear the rumors, these people are either spies sent by Yang Yu, or Yang Yu deliberately ignores these old nobles. deliberately let them come to Jiangdu to make trouble.

Among these families, the Anping Junwang family and the Kangjunwang family are the most dazzling.

The king of Anping County died of illness, and now the king of Anping County is in charge of Yang Xiuxiu, whom Han Jian has seen several times in the palace before. Speaking of which, Han Jian and Yang Xiuxiu still have some "origins", originally Yang Xiuxiu and Lu Fengning, the son of the Lu family, had a marriage contract, but after the case of the rebellion of the Northern King, although Lu Fengning had nothing to do with the Northern King, he was dismissed and investigated, and the Lu family also lost power in Luoyang because of this, Yang Xiuxiu finally escaped the shackles of the marriage contract and was grateful to Han Jian with a little gratitude.

But Han Jian also knows that Yang Xiuxiu is not "good at stubble", this woman is independent and strong, and she is better than Lin Xiaoshu. He himself was born as a county lord, so he can be said to be of noble birth, but he can be a family to take care of his younger siblings.

As for Kangjun Wang's family, Han Jian didn't know much about it. I only know that King Kangjun's stammering son has met a few times, but he is not impressed.

In addition to the two king-level families of Anping and Kangjun, there are also many noble families in Luoyang, among these families, there are eunuchs and businessmen, all of whom are involved in politics. And as these people entered the Jiangdu territory, the Dongwang Mansion also had to be cautious, whether to greet them, drive them away, or ignore them, they also needed to be discussed.

"Jian'er, these are all here to defect to His Majesty, you can't abandon them. It is still necessary to send someone to meet them and make proper arrangements. ”

Han Song's tone of voice was very earnest, in her opinion, under the imperial power, some big families should be sheltered, including the East Prince's Mansion. This is called helping each other in distress, and if something happens to the East Palace, she also hopes to be protected by other friendly forces. It's human nature.

Han Jian said with a little disdain: "If these people want to come to His Majesty, why do they have to wait until now, after the war?" ”

Han Songshi sighed, she also felt that these people's motives for suddenly coming to Jiangdu were not pure. After all, Jiangdu was not more prosperous than Luoyang, and it was not the power center of the Wei Dynasty, since they chose to be loyal to Yang Yu, they would not suddenly take the risk of moving their families to Jiangdu without any changes.

"What do you want, then?" Han Cuishi asked from the side.

Han Jian said: "Driving them away will be a little unkind." And if they really run away, we will drive them away, and they will have nowhere else to go. ”

Han Cuishi nodded, glanced at Han Song, and said, "Jian'er is right, we can't drive them away, this will also make those ministers who are in Cao Ying's heart in Han feel cold, and it is not good for us to win people's hearts." ”

Han Song also nodded slightly.

Luoyang's family gate valve has been divided into two factions after the empress left Luoyang. One faction came to Jiangdu with the empress very resolutely, and these families also included the families behind Han Jian's many aunts. The other faction stayed in Luoyang and did not migrate, although this faction left behind a forced element, but in the final analysis, it still did not fulfill its obligation of allegiance. Now that it's over, it's not so "popular".

Han Jian continued: "As for greeting, it is not necessary. These people have stayed in Luoyang, participated in Yang Yu's enthronement ceremony, and are obedient people of the traitor. This time they came, we didn't know anything, and when they arrived in Jiangdu, let some people from the imperial court come over to greet them, which could be regarded as saving face. As for placement, it doesn't have to. These people moved with their families, and they should have brought all their family property with them, and they needed to return the land and property by themselves, and the Dongwang Mansion would settle them down, which would be a waste of labor and money. ”

After hearing this, Han Cuishi thought for a moment, nodded and looked at Han Songshi and said, "Second sister thinks Jian'er is this Jian'er?" ”

"Now for now. If they really come to vote, athletes. You still have to be kind to them, after all, these families are also the cornerstone of the Wei Dynasty. If Majesty is there, it will be the same. Han Song said thoughtfully.

Han Jian knew that although Han Song's heart was towards him, he still thought about things for the empress. Doing things to consider the overall situation is also Han Song's character.

Discussing things properly will mean that no one will pay attention to them until these families come to Jiangdu.

After the discussion, Han Jian no longer dwelled on this matter, after all, he had to be busy with a lot of military and political affairs. On the military side, the urgency of the war requires scheduling. Politically. He also has to be the home of the East Palace, from military supplies to local taxes, he needs to deal with it.

But soon, in mid-February, these families from Luoyang had already arrived under the Jiangdu City one after another. At this time, Han Jian couldn't even ignore it. Because there were too many people coming this time. And the momentum is also very strong. If the convoy stays outside the city and can't get into the city, there will be a lot of nuisance.

Han Jian found Gu Weipan and discussed the reception with him. Gu Weipan obviously has an opinion on this.

It's different from Han Song's. Gu Weipan almost considered the problem from the standpoint of the imperial court, so he ignored whether the Dongwang Mansion could accommodate so many families and so many people, in his opinion, since someone defected to Jiangdu, he was here to be loyal to the empress, and it was the responsibility of the Dongwang Mansion to receive it poorly. He had already known that these families were coming, and he had tried to discuss the matter with Han Jian, but was pushed by Han Jian on the grounds that the battle situation was tense.

"When everyone is outside the city, you only discuss, don't you think it's too late?" When Gu Weipan saw Han Jian, his old face turned dark, as if he was questioning.

Han Jian said with a smile: "It's a little late. But it's not too late to make amends, why don't you leave this matter to Mrs. Gu to be responsible? ”

"You asked the old man to receive him?" Gu Weipan was slightly stunned, and then said with a dark face, "No." The reception of the East Wangfu is a matter of course, what do you say when the old man goes to receive it? As for the placement, the old man does not have such ability. ”

Han Jian understood what Gu Weipan meant, and even Gu Weipan's family came to Jiangdu more than a month later, a few days before Gu Xin'er was going to marry into the East Prince's Mansion, and the East Prince's Mansion made a settlement. No matter how stubborn Gu Weipan is, he also knows that it is not only manpower that is needed to resettle so many people, but also a large number of farmlands.

Han Jian sighed: "Mrs. Gu will dissipate her anger first. I haven't told you about the resettlement before, because the Dongwang Mansion is now short of money and can't make a large number of resettlements, and these people are coming to ...... At most, we can only welcome it in terms of human feelings, and as for the placement, it is up to them. ”

Gu Weipan frowned.

When he heard this, it was as if he were saying that those who came early had meat to eat, those who came a little later could drink soup, and those who came later could only drink the northwest wind.

And he and the families who came before belonged to those who ate meat and drank soup, and these people were classified as drinking the northwest wind.

"No! If you don't settle, how can you explain to the world? Gu Weipan started the twisting, and Han Jian felt that the nine cows could not be pulled back, unless they could convince him, but it was not so easy to persuade a bull.

Han Jian understood Gu Weipan's mentality, when Gu Weipan came, he was alone, and he was carrying only a bag and a few clothes, and when he arrived in Jiangdu, if there was no resettlement in the East Palace, he would obviously starve to death on the streets. Gu Weipan treated people with himself, so he naturally thought that these families would also be wolves who escaped from Luoyang, and they were also alone. But judging from the information Han Jian got from all sides, this was not the case.

The scale of the convoy outside Jiangdu City alone is already very large. There are also subordinates and maids, seven aunts and eight aunts, this can be regarded as a real family migration, it is estimated that the antiques and treasures at home, including the things that can be taken away, will be loaded on the carriage.

On such a scale, it is impossible to say that there is no way out. It's a big deal that they buy their own house and settle down with their family, even if it is not as comfortable as living in Luoyang, but at least they have a safe life.

"Chief Gu, it's up to you to arrange the reception. As for placement, I will take care of it. Is this possible? Han Jian didn't reason, he just divided the area of responsibility with Gu Weipan.

Gu Weipan thought for a while and said, "For the time being." You have to hurry up and pass on the resettlement matters, so that the old man can make arrangements. ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded.

Sending Gu Weipan away, Han Jian met with Han Song and Han Cui, and roughly explained Gu Weipan's attitude.

In fact, Han Jian had long expected that Gu Weipan would help these family members, after all, Gu Weipan was also one of them, and he also hoped that his family would become the family of the Wei Dynasty in the future, and his descendants would be everywhere, so he naturally hoped that his children and grandchildren would not be abandoned by some powerful people in the future.

Han Song said: "Since Taifu Gu insists, Jian'er, our Dongwang Mansion still has some mansions in the east of the city, if it really can't be done, let's vacate it first and temporarily place those people, and we will make detailed arrangements later...... You need to think long-term. ”

Han Jian shook his head and said, "Erniang, I said that there is no need to resettle. Let Mrs. Gu go and see first, and when he sees what kind of state these people are in, I believe that Mrs. Gu will also be reasonable and no longer insist. We can place them for a while, but we can't place them for a lifetime. Since they have come, they must understand that they cannot rely on others for everything. ”

Han Songshi shook his head slightly, but he was also a little helpless. Because even if the Dongwang Mansion goes all out to resettle it, it can't accommodate so many people, these families are too large, and the number of people who come is more than twice as many as the total of those families that came over before, it is simply a great migration from Luoyang.

Soon, Gu Weipan took care of the reception.

As Han Jian said, when Gu Weipan came to see Han Jian again, his attitude was not so resolute, because Gu Weipan was not ignorant, and when he saw how these families moved here, he understood that even if there was no resettlement from the East Palace, these people would not starve to death.

"Mrs. Gu, the matter of resettlement is too difficult, and you need to think about it in the long run!" Han Jian first expressed his attitude, even if he is settled, he must take his time step by step.

"So how do you want to settle it?" Gu Weipan asked.

Han Jian said: "It's better to dry them for a while." If there is a way, it will naturally settle down, if there is no way, or it is really difficult, how about having the East Wangfu to be responsible? ”

"So many people, nowhere to place, really good?" Gu Weipan said coldly.

Han Jian said: "It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's a question of whether it's capable or not." If they have the ability, they will save the affairs of the East Palace, but they are really incapable, and the guest house will not have no tiles to cover their heads, right? The Dongwang Mansion is so big, how many people does Mrs. Gu think can be placed? ”

Gu Weipan was silent. He also understood that when he and some people came to Jiangdu at the beginning, many family members were placed in Dongwangfu, and then they spent a lot of manpower and material resources before they were reluctantly settled. To this day, some ministers with low official character are still complaining about the condition check. Gu Weipan always said that it is enough to have two meals a day and one night to cover the head with tiles.

With so many people now, it is indeed not easy to ensure that so many people have tiled heads.

"Others can ignore it. But the county lord of Anping and the family of the king of Kangjun, you can't help but settle it! Gu Weipan finally said as if compromised.

"It's nature." Han Jian said with a smile, but he thought in his heart, I don't care if you are the king of Kangjun or the lord of Anping, and I will never back down without discrimination! (To be continued......)
