Chapter 461: Weng Son-in-law

Han Jian suddenly felt that the empress in front of him seemed to be a different person, and he didn't know if it was because he designed to burn the granary of the king army in the west of Pingcheng, or because of the empress's sudden illness. In short, happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't bear it.

"Your Majesty will rest first, and the ministers will have a meeting to discuss the matter of marching. When the situation calms down, the minister will come to accompany His Majesty again. Han Jianhui was originally strict, as if he was also saying that people can love each other, but in front of people, one is still a king and the other is a courtier.

"Go ahead. I'm going to rest, too. The empress said a word and watched Han Jian leave.

Han Jian arrived at the door of the empress's bedroom, and Yang Li'er and Fa Ye were still waiting for news. Han Jian didn't come out, Fa couldn't go in to see the empress, and Yang Li'er wouldn't rest assured that she would go back to rest.

"Your Majesty is in good health and is resting. The master wants to go in to see His Majesty, so he goes, but he still tries not to disturb His Majesty's rest. Han Jian said.

Fa also looked inside the tent and said nothing.

Han Jian knew that Fa Ye might have gone out to do something on the orders of the empress, and now he came back to return, and it would be inconvenient if he was there, so he greeted Yang Li'er and said, "Li'er, I'll send you back first." ”

Yang Li'er nodded, accompanied by Han Jian, returned to her camp, and waited for Yang Li'er to enter the bed, still holding Han Jian's hand, some children generally looked reluctant.

No matter how stupid Yang Li'er is, she is a woman after all, and Han Jian's concern for the empress just now completely exceeds the courtiers' concern for the king. Yang Li'er had already vaguely sensed that there was something between Han Jian and the empress, if it was someone else. She didn't worry about anything, but after all, she was now the empress, the high-ranking Ninety-Five, and there was still a good result for the emperor to grab a man?

"Qi'er, you are also tired these days, take a good rest, and your husband is going to a military meeting to discuss the next move against the Xiwang Army. It is also necessary to guard against the desperate fight of the Western Wang Army. Han Jian said with a look of concern.

Yang Li'er pursed her lips slightly, nodded, and her youngest daughter's expression was overflowing. In the past. She has a hard shell. It was Han Jian who broke her defenses layer by layer, and she didn't want her husband's love to exist in the future because of the sudden addition of the empress. Therefore, she also felt a little aggrieved in her heart.

Han Jian kissed Yang Li'er's forehead, when Yang Li'er felt red in the face. Han Jian got up and left. Yang Li'er sighed softly. She understands it too. What should come must come, if Han Jian and the empress really have anything, it is not something she can hinder. Suddenly. She also seemed to understand why the Empress had been courting her so often lately.

Han Jian got out of the camp tent and went directly to the big tent of the Chinese army. In the big tent of the Chinese army, many generals and officers have been informed in advance that there is a major military aircraft to discuss.

As soon as Han Jian came, everyone hurriedly saluted. Even if he had a lot of criticism of Han Jian before, he was extremely humble now, and it was a miracle that Han Jian was able to quietly send troops to burn the grain and grass in Pingcheng, especially when they learned that it was Lin Zhan who was supposed to lead troops in the south of the city. This shows that Han Jian has long had a comprehensive plan, and now he is confronting the Western Wang Army in the north of Yuzhou City, but it is just a scene, it is just an illusion.

"Young boy, since last night, there has been movement in the army of the Western King, as if he is planning something." A general told Han Jian.

Han Jian had already noticed the movement in the Xiwang army. Kuaima delivered the news of Pingcheng to him, and in the same way, the news of Pingcheng would soon reach Cao Baichuan's ears. Now the grain and grass have been burned, and only the grain and grass supplied with the army remain, either to fight quickly or withdraw the troops.

Judging from the current situation, the two sides are facing each other head-on, and the Western Wang Army still has the upper hand, but the advantage is not obvious. If the officers and men of the whole army knew that their grain and grass were only enough to support them for a few days, then the qiē-shaped shì would be different, and the Eastern Wang Army would definitely start from the morale of the Western Wang Army, and do their best to let people spread the news among the Western Wang Army, so that the soldiers of the Western Wang Army would know about the burning of grain and grass.

"Go and invite the king of the south to come, and say that the king has something to discuss with him." Han Jian said.

The guards hurried away.

For Yang Luochuan, entering the camp of the Dongwang Army is like a caged bird. He is also very acquainted, and since he began to care about the confrontation with the Western King Army, he has been waiting for news, and has not participated in the daily operation of the East King Army.

Han Jian wanted to see Yang Luochuan at this time, because only when he was connected with Yang Luochuan in a line, the Xiwang army would be afraid and had to retreat, otherwise the Xiwang army would definitely feel that there was a gap between the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou and the Dongwang army, and wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Yang Luochuan came in a formal suit, Han Jian Judging from Yang Luochuan's spirit, although Yang Luochuan has not asked about the world in the past few days, he is still worried about the situation in the army after all, and his rest is definitely not good.

"Virtuous son-in-law, do you have something to do with this king?" When Yang Luochuan saw Han Jian, he showed a little enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm was mostly disguised.

Han Jian didn't expose it, in front of so many generals present, he still had to give Yang Luochuan enough face.

"King South." Han Jian saluted, "I don't know about Pingcheng, do you know?" ”

"How could this king not know about such a big matter. The king of the east is really a good means, and he sent troops to burn the grain and grass in Pingcheng, but no one noticed it beforehand. Thinking about it, there is a lot of trouble in the Xiwang army now, and I don't know whether to fight or withdraw. Yang Luochuan seemed to have some pointing.

Han Jian smiled and said, "I don't know what King Nan wants?" Is it time to fight, or is it time to make peace? ”

"And?" Yang Luochuan's face was a little puzzled.

Han Jian said: "I am about to find someone to go to the army of the West King to discuss the matter of peace, and I want to ask the opinion of the King of the South." ”

Yang Luochuan's face immediately turned a little dark, Han Jian now said in front of so many people that he wanted to negotiate peace with Xiwangjun, obviously not giving Yuzhou face, that is, not giving him face.

Now the Xiwang army is to kill the territory of Yuzhou, rob the territory and people of Yuzhou, and even burn the Pingcheng, which is also his city in Yuzhou. Now Han Jian actually wants to skip the South Wangfu and negotiate peace with the West Wangfu, which is clearly placing the Nanwang Mansion as a guest. And Han Jian regarded himself as the master of Yuzhou.

"What the virtuous son-in-law thinks, then what it is." Yang Luochuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the West King will refuse to negotiate peace with you." ”

Han Jian pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? What does King Nan mean by this? ”

"Now that the grain and grass in Pingcheng have been burned, and then negotiate peace, it is Cao Baichuan and Li Dai's loss of ground before the battle, and it is the crime of negligence. If you negotiate peace like this, will you have to be punished by the king of the west when you go back? The virtuous son-in-law thought that Cao Baichuan and Li Dai would both agree to negotiate peace, so they quietly withdrew their troops? ”

Han Jian listened to Yang Luochuan's analysis, and seemed to be in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly really negotiate peace, and let go of the opportunity to annihilate the Western Wang's army. In fact, Yang Luochuan was reminding him that this battle was to be fought. Moreover, the Xiwang army that wants to fight cannot be defeated, so they have to withdraw, which is the best policy.

This is actually where Han Jian wants to discuss with Yang Luochuan.

"Okay." Han Jian said, "That is, the king of the south does not agree to negotiate peace. Now we are guests in the land of the South King's Mansion, of course, we should obey the orders of the South King. How to fight this battle, please ask the king of the south to discuss together, so that they can march together. ”

Yang Luochuan was stunned for a moment, pondered carefully, and realized that he had actually fallen into Han Jian's trap.

He always thought that the main reason why Dongwangfu came to Yuzhou this time was to fish in troubled waters, and try not to go to war if he could. Earlier today, he still thought so, otherwise why would the Eastern King Army confront the Western King Army and not send troops? This is obviously not the sincerity to help Yuzhou solve its difficulties.

But when the grain and grass in Pingcheng were burned, he had already realized that Han Jian had already planned, and the battle of the Western Wangjun was to be fought. And Han Jian is now talking about "negotiating peace", which is actually provoking him to express his position, and he is willing to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the southern palace and the eastern king army to fight together to repel the western king army.

Yang Luochuan smiled helplessly and said with emotion: "What kind of cooperation does the virtuous son-in-law want the Nanwang Mansion to do? ”

Yang Luochuan now also knows that in terms of reciprocity, there is no longer a zài since he entered the Dongwangfu military camp. Now he is asking the Xiwang Army to repel the invading enemy, if he still plays the score now, maybe Han Jianzhen will go to negotiate peace with the Xiwang Army, and then what Yuzhou belongs to, it is uncertain.

Han Jian said: "I also ask the king of the south to go to Yuzhou and send soldiers and horses to send troops from the front, and now in this place, start a decisive battle with the army of the king of the west." ”

Yang Luochuan muttered: "Virtuous son-in-law, now that the Western King's army is running out of food and grass, shouldn't it be too late to delay this period of time before starting a war?" If you have to be in such a hurry, isn't it just as the Xiwang Army wishes? ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "Even the King of the South thinks so, and probably the Western King Army also thinks the same way. They all thought that if we burned the grain and grass in Pingcheng, we would delay it and would not take the initiative to attack. But it is necessary to take advantage of such an opportune opportunity to defeat the Western King Army in one fell swoop, otherwise with the strength of the Western King Army, when they will be transported over with grain and grass, where will we have a chance? ”

Yang Luochuan suddenly realized that this time Li Dai brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there must be a follow-up supply of grain and grass. Although he hadn't investigated much before, it was common sense, and it went without saying that he should have noticed it. But when he learned that the grain and grass in Pingcheng were burned, he didn't expect this section, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart that he had made a mistake. If it weren't for Han Jian's reminder, what he would have thought would be to delay it first, consume the Western Wang Army to the point that it can't be supported, withdraw the troops on his own, and then make some articles while he hopes that the Wang Army will withdraw his troops.

"What the virtuous son-in-law said is very true. The matter of sending troops, this will be discussed carefully, this king will send people back to Yuzhou to deliver the news, and the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Zhennan can be transferred out of the city at any time. Now that the virtuous son-in-law is serving His Majesty, he can also control the local soldiers and horses of my southern palace. Yang Luochuan said, patted Han Jian on the shoulder, and said as if he was very trusting, "The future of Yuzhou also depends on you, the virtuous son-in-law." ”

The civil and military generals present saw that Yang Luochuan was so temperamentless and entrusted Han Jian with a heavy responsibility, and there were those who were in awe of Han Jian, and there were also those who were afraid of him. Now that Han Jian has received Yang Luochuan's approval, he is the actual ruler of Yuzhou and Jiangdu, with the military strength of Yuzhou and Jiangdu, it is not necessarily the Western Wangfu, even the Northern Wangfu, which is the strongest militarily.
