Overnight, there was some chaos in the palace, and news came one after another, Yang Rui was in good spirits, but after encountering the assassin's assassination of Han Jian, she had a slight tire gas, and her body was uncomfortable, coupled with constant troubles, she could only sleep with her clothes closed.

Han Jian left the palace before dawn and went to the yamen of the military station, and investigated what happened at night, it turned out that someone took advantage of the festival night to cause chaos in the city, and even someone entered the palace and stabbed him on the head, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and successively found the people from the city defense yamen in the city to give a lecture, and finally even the Tingwei's mansion also sent someone to question, so that he could arrest the murderer.

"Young boy, don't be in a hurry. These thieves just want to fish in troubled waters, if the young man is angry, I am afraid that it is the thief who is worried about. ”

A strategist in his thirties persuaded Han Jian.

Han Jian glanced at this person, but said that this is a person who has been in the limelight in the Dongwang Mansion recently, originally the identity of the Jiangdu family, and he had some military exploits in several battles, but after being stationed in Luoyang, he gradually rose with his own ability, and has occupied a very important position in the military and political system of the Dongwang Mansion. His name is Chen Liansheng.

Han Jian still recognizes this person's ability, and what is even worse is that this person can stammer people, and he is very trusted by Han Song's family. His rise is somewhat related to the need for the Han Song clan to cultivate old forces in the army.

"Chen Duwei, you said that this king is not in a hurry, now that thieves are rampant in the city, and the people are not at peace, ↖ do you have a good way to catch the thieves?" Han Jian said sharply.

Chen Liansheng said with a smile: "If the young son gives his subordinates a chance, his subordinates will definitely do it well." ”

Han Jian nodded, since this Chen Liansheng felt that he could do it well, it was not impossible to give it a try.

"Give you half a month, before the Shangyuan Festival, you must make Luoyang City as stable as ever. The people of the city defense yamen. You can do whatever you want. "Han Jian promoted this Chen Lian to an official first, and let him be responsible for the arrest of the thief, not only the city defense yamen was at his disposal, but even the Tingwei Mansion could also be at his disposal. It is equivalent to hollowing out the power of people under the original city defense system.

Chen Liansheng seemed full of confidence, and Han Jian also felt that it was appropriate. Although Chen Liansheng may not be able to be used by him, at least he is a person in the Jiangdu system. Even if you have bad intentions, it is within the scope of control.

As soon as the arrangement was completed, there was an urgent battle report, and it was still dawn.

Han Jian took the battle report, but it was the latest progress of the war in the north, Lin Zhan's department had completed the reception of the first line of Beiguan, and the returning troops trapped Beichuan City, preparing to launch a strong attack within a few days. Of course, the assault is just a signal, and the main thing is to ask Han Jian whether to do good offices on politics. After all, the losses of the assault will be large. In addition, there are unknown factors, and the forcible attack is not a matter of concern, and it is best to solve it in a guòzheng zhì way, without spending a single soldier.

"Young boy, this ......"

"Gather the generals and raise the account."

Han Jianxin said that it was fortunate that he came out earlier, otherwise he would be alone in the palace, and I am afraid that it would be an hour or two before he found out. Maybe it's a big mistake.

With Han Jian's order, the generals and advisers in Luoyang gathered together in less than half an hour. Even during the Spring Festival, these people did not dare to slack off, and their residences were very close to the military yamen.

Han Jian finally arrived in the main hall, and at this time there were no less than forty people in the main hall, and Han Jian swept through everyone, but a few people were still late. After Han Jian arrived, these people were late. It can be seen that they are also a little in a hurry, the sky outside is bright, something happened in the city last night, and the officials outside are still a little busy.

"Young boy, I'm late. Please also atone for your sins. Several belated generals saluted and confessed.

Han Jian's face was a little cold, at the end of the year, the generals and strategists who originally had relatives in Jiang, and their families basically moved to Luoyang, plus the Spring Festival, these people who have not been reunited with their families for a year can finally enjoy the joy of family. But it was precisely because of this that these people were a little slack, which made him a little angry.

"Deliberations." Han Jian said a word, and only at this time did he officially begin to discuss further plans for the war in the north.

When the people present learned about the situation in the north, some people were somewhat encouraged, although the north was a little devastated by the Xianbei people, but how to say that the territory north of the river north of the south of the Beiguan, except for Guanzhong and the lonely Beichuan City, other places have been nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and now the imperial court exists in name only, which means that the Dongwangfu has occupied most of the territory in the north.

But when it comes to how to take Beichuan City, opinions are a little unified, and there is everything to say. However, the general point of view is nothing more than a question of war or peace.

Most people think that it should be solved by military assault, which is a solution once and for all, after all, if it is solved in a peaceful way, there will be a very strict problem, that is, how to settle the king of the north and others. These people used to be the great enemies of the imperial court, and if they were killed, they would lose the hearts of the people, and if they were not killed, they would be tantamount to raising tigers. As for those who advocate peace, they seem to be very modest and low-key, most of them are aware of the current financial situation of the Dongwang Mansion, and know that such a war will take a lot of time, and there is a feeling that the gains outweigh the losses under the war.

Han Jian did not express any opinions, which made the people present somewhat puzzled. On the issue of war or peace, Han Jian's proposition was unpredictable, which made them speculate a lot.

But after the meeting, Han Jian immediately sent a letter to the army, obviously Han Jian already had an idea in his heart. The letter would arrive at Beichuan City within two days, and in Han Jian's plan, the issue of Beichuan City must also be resolved within ten days to clear the way for the army to enter the pass.

In the morning, it was Gu Weipan who personally came to the yamen of the military station to look for him, which surprised Han Jian a little. After all, Gu Weipan is a civil servant, and he is under the imperial court system, according to reason, he will not come to a place like the military yamen, but he is here after all, it can be seen that Gu Weipan is also very anxious, otherwise he would not come so directly, after all, his every move is also under the watchful eyes of many people.

Han Jian greeted him personally, and he couldn't slack off on Gu Weipan.

When Han Jian retreated, Gu Weipan didn't talk nonsense, sat down and said directly: "The matter in the north, has it already been resolved?" ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet, General Lin has led his troops to trap Beichuan, and the battle has not yet begun." ”

Gu Weipan nodded and said, "Beichuan City can't be fought in a battle. ”

This made Han Jian feel fresh, others said that Beichuan City could not be beaten, probably out of strategic and material considerations, so why did Gu Weipan say this? Gu Weipan is a Wenchen after all. He doesn't know anything about military affairs, Han Jian has also talked to Gu Weipan about some military things before, and Gu Weipan is also half-aware and has never expressed insightful opinions.

Gu Weipan saw that Han Jian was quite unconvinced, and said, "I heard yesterday that you have plans to enter the military pass, and I first thought about it. It's just to paralyze the West Palace. But now that Beichuan City is under your control, it is advisable to delay it for a long time, if you rush into the army, I am afraid that Luoyang will also be in danger. ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, he probably understood Gu Weipan's train of thought. Gu Weipan was afraid of the war in the north, if Beichuan City could not be conquered in a few days, then Luoyang would fall into the covetousness of the Southern Wangfu and the Western Wangfu. After all, now that the Southern Prince's Mansion has sent troops to approach Luoyang, and the Xiwangfu will not sit idly by when it learns that the imperial court intends to enter the Guanzhong. Most likely, it will be proactive.

But what Gu Weipan said was contrary to Han Jian's original intention, Han Jian was looking at the West Wangfu and the South Wangfu, and he didn't dare to rush forward, Luoyang's shape was clear at a glance, but the current situation in Luoyang was turbulent. Regarding the "killer feature" in Han Jian's hands, it is not very clear to the South Wangfu and the West Wangfu now, and they are still waiting.

"That's according to the intention of taking care of the Taifu. The north should continue to drag on, but in this way, the imperial court will spend a lot of money. I'm afraid that I won't be able to transfer troops to Guanzhong anymore. Han Jian said.

Gu Weipan said: "The old man didn't support entering the Guanzhong, and now the Central Plains is shì, and it should be mainly for recuperation, but the wars are continuous, and the farming is wasted, so I'm afraid it won't be a few years." The northern side will be dragged down by the war, and then the southern dynasty or the northern Yi will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and the Central Plains will not be protected. ”

Han Jian finally understood that Gu Weipan was a representative of the Stop War faction, and his hope was to make the Central Plains deliberately recuperate for a few years. Instead of rushing to calm down internal troubles. But it is not a way to drag on like this, with Han Jian's understanding, even if the Central Plains wants to maintain peace and stability for a long time, the Xianbei people in the north will definitely not sit idly by, and in the period from the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer, the Xianbei people are likely to make a comeback.

"Then Gu Taifu knows the current northern shape?" Han Jian asked.

Gu Weipan pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Xianbei people just fake their retirement?" ”

"The Xianbei people did evacuate Beiguan, but the Bohai ...... in China"

When Han Jian said this, even Gu Weipan pricked up his ears, in the past few months, the most mysterious place in the north is the Bohai Kingdom, Su Tingxia originally only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north, but at the beginning, there were rumors of killing, that is, Beichuan City was also dragged down by Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses, but then Su Tingxia continued to march north, and since then he has cut off contact with the imperial court, what is the situation in Bohai now, let alone Gu Weipan, now everyone in the world wants to know. But the news in the north was blocked, and Su Tingxia deliberately deceived and severed contact with the imperial court, which made people think that he had a different heart and was ready to be his "King of Bohai".

"The king of the east said." Seeing that Han Jian didn't say anything, Gu Weipan couldn't help but ask.

Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "Bohai has been decided." ”

The words were very concise, but Gu Weipan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in this way, the unstable factors in the north seemed to have been solved, but about the problem of Su Tingxia's loyalty, Han Jian avoided the important and did not say anything.

"General Nasu...... Will you return to Luoyang in the near future? Gu Weipan continued to ask.

His question is very pertinent, Han Jian only needs to answer whether Su Tingxia will bring the troops back, Su Tingxia's return means that he is still loyal to the imperial court, even if he is not loyal to the imperial court and is loyal to the Eastern Palace, it also means that this force can be used by the imperial court, which is helpful for the stability of the north and even the entry of the army.

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "In a short period of time, it shouldn't be possible to transfer all of them back." The soldiers and horses of Silla are still dealing with it. However, in the past few days, a group of Bohai nationals have moved south with the army, and there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses who have moved back, all of whom were sent by Luoyang. ”

Gu Weipan sighed, there were more than 10,000 Luoyang disciples who followed Su Tingxia to the north, but now they can only come back a few thousand, I don't know how many thousand, but it is inevitable that more than half of them will be lost. The repatriation of these thousands of soldiers and horses will also mean that the Luoyang element in Su Tingxia's department will be wiped out, and he has no idea what is happening in Bohai.

It is difficult to say what kind of course "Bohai has been decided".

After all, Gu Weipan has now served as the first assistant, since Han Jian said that there will be Bohai residents moving south with the army, then he will be responsible for the resettlement of these soldiers and civilians in the future.

"How many?" Gu Weipan asked directly.

"400,000 people." Han Jian said.

Gu Wei stood up and said in surprise: "400,000 people? ”

Han Jian nodded, Gu Wei Pan Dengshi's face was very ugly, and he thought it was a joke to settle 400,000 people at once. With the current strength of Luoyang, it is not easy to settle 18,000 people, and this must be established under the condition that the rich landlords around Luoyang are willing to accept it.

Han Jian knew what he was thinking when he saw Gu Weipan's face, and said: "These 400,000 people will not move to the front line of Luoyang, but will be supplemented to the front line of Beiguan, garrison Tuntian, and prepare for the defense of the Xianbei people in the future." Mrs. Gu doesn't have to worry. ”

Gu Weipan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and was also relieved to think that the Xianbei people had plundered a lot in the south this time, and many places in the north were deserted. After all, Gu Weipan's thinking was still on the long-term peace and stability of Luoyang, and he hadn't thought about the northern land that was not yet part of the imperial court, so his first thought was how to settle these 400,000 people in Luoyang.

"400,000 is not a small number. Wouldn't poor resettlement lead to civil unrest? Gu Wei said.

Han Jian said: "There is no need to worry about this, 400,000 people will be divided into troops, and after they are stationed in the north, they will be resettled in a region, divide and rule." Even if someone wants to make trouble, it won't become a climate. The tun army in the north will be drawn from Luoyang and Jiangdu, plus some troops from the Northern Palace, about 100,000. The proportions are acceptable. ”

Gu Weipan also nodded, that is to say, these 400,000 Bohai nationals who moved south will become "military slaves", and they will divide and rule, with 100,000 soldiers and horses to manage the 400,000 population, and if someone wants to make trouble, it will not succeed.

"That's fine." Gu Weipan was a little relieved, and suddenly realized that this trip over, there was too much news to digest, "If you can, you should transfer the soldiers and horses back from the Bohai Sea as soon as possible, and you can't love the barbarian land for a long time." ”

Han Jian smiled, in Gu Weipan's thinking, the land of Liaodong was already a "barbarian land", and it was enough to occupy the place first and pull all the population back as slaves, as for that kind of "barbarian land", he deliberately abandoned it.

"Mrs. Gu is wrong, the land of the Bohai Sea is rich in goods, and then the people will be relocated from Hebei to govern for a long time." (To be continued......)
