Chapter 364: Focus on Strikes

In the Dongwang Mansion, Han Jian finished an emergency military meeting and sent several generals to the north with some soldiers and horses.

After the surrounding Jiangdu was basically pacified, Han Jian was ready to make a desperate bet and transfer all the soldiers and horses he could mobilize to the north of Jiangdu to have a "decisive battle" with the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army.

said that it was a decisive battle, but Han Jian knew very well that although the Dongwang Mansion seemed to have taken the initiative in the battle situation, it had a great chance of winning. But this is based on the state that Yang Yu and Yang Ke are completely "blinded".

Previously, the Dongwang Mansion had been "showing weakness", which made Yang Yu and Yang Ke slack, and at the same time, it also made the Luoyang Army and the Northern Wang Army blindly arrogant, and constantly sent troops and horses south to go deep into the hinterland, only to fall into the trap.

Now, the prey in the trap has been harvested, and all that remains is to fight with real swords and guns, and it is still very difficult to win the current soldiers, horses and material reserves of the East Palace. Therefore, Han Jian was only targeting the Luoyang army sent by Yang Yu.

Persimmon has to pick up soft pinching, and the Luoyang Army is obviously slightly inferior in combat effectiveness compared to the Beiwang Army, and it is more than one. These soldiers and horses were originally pampered, as the garrison of Luoyang, Gyeonggi, arrogant but not baptized by the real battlefield, what they faced was just the battle when Yang Ru, the king of the old north, led 30,000 cavalry to attack Luoyang, and nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were stationed.

In the battle of Luoyang Defense, although the Luoyang army won, the victory was not a victory on the battlefield, and if it wasn't for Yang Ru's proper estimation in advance, it would not have been defeated. After that battle, the Luoyang army began to be arrogant, which also made Yang Yu think that he could use the Luoyang army to pacify the Jiangdu. In the final analysis, although Jiangdu soldiers and horses are not elite. There is a gap with the West King Army, the North King Army and the South King Army, but the only one who is not afraid is the Luoyang Army.

This time, Dongwangfu took the initiative to attack, Han Jian's strategy was very clear, while containing the soldiers and horses of the Beiwangfu, making the Beiwangjun think that they were targeted by the Jiangdu soldiers and horses, but in fact, the Dongwangfu secretly transferred troops and prepared to start a "bloody battle" with the Luoyang army, so as to break up the Luoyang army before the Luoyang army and the Beiwang army reacted.

After that, Dongwangfu didn't need to do it yourself. Because once Yang Yu's soldiers and horses were defeated. The spearhead of the Northern Wang Army will no longer point at Jiangdu. At that time, Luoyang will become the "fat meat" for the competition between the heroes, and Jiangdu will be able to win in this battle.

For this plan, Han Jian also held many meetings, while making people believe. This time, the Dongwang Mansion is to "start an all-out war" without distinguishing between the Luoyang Army and the Northern Wang's Army. On the one hand, it is necessary to dispatch troops. All the elite divisions were transferred to the central and western regions of Jiangdu, where the Luoyang Army was located.

When everything was arranged, Han Jian still felt pressed by the mountain in his heart. Because the generals he can rely on now are only Zhang Xing and Lin Zhan in the final analysis. Moreover, there are some veterans of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and whether these people can break up the Luoyang army in a short period of time is a big problem.

After Han Jian finished arranging, he returned to the Dongwang Mansion.

He knows very well that it is up to man to do things, and it is up to heaven to do things. Now he has arranged the plan in a very thoughtful and detailed way, but it does not mean that the plan will definitely work, and he, as the king of the east, cannot come to the battlefield in person, so he can only wait for news in the rear of Jiangdu. In his estimation, the Northern Wangjun would be a little flustered because of the previous losses, and they would not be able to detect the premeditation of the Eastern Wangfu in a short period of time. But in half a month at most, if this battle cannot be won, and then the Northern Wang Army and the Luoyang Army will fight together, the chances of victory in the Eastern Wangfu will be greatly reduced. The momentum of the East Prince's Mansion will also weaken.

Han Jian was thinking about things in his heart, and when he arrived in the main hall of the East King Mansion, Han Song and Han Cui were already waiting for him. At this point, it's already time to turn on the lights.

Han Jian met with Zhu Tongjing in the main hall of the Dongwang Mansion before, and although the two of them knew, they deliberately avoided it. Now Han Song and Han Cui have completely handed over the matter to Han Jian to take care of, and try not to interfere in any way.

"Erniang, Sanniang, haven't slept yet?" Han Jian had a busy day and was a little tired, but he had been in a state of nervousness since he began to plan this "counterattack", so he was still in good spirits in this situation.

"How can you go to sleep so early?" Han Song said, "You have been busy for so many days, you should also take a good rest." ”

Han Jian sat down and said with a smile: "It's not time to rest yet. ”

"What? Are you still ready to fight the rebels head-on? Han Song asked with some surprise.

"Hmm."

Han Jian nodded and roughly explained his plan. After Han Jian finished speaking, Han Song and Han Cui were surprised.

They thought that they were already "old and serious", and Han Jian was just a hairy boy, but they didn't expect that a hairy boy would think much more far-reaching than them. Originally, in their opinion, now that the Dongwang Mansion has swept away the "disaster" around Jiangdu, it is time to accept it when it is good, as long as it can hold on to the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army, there is no need to "expand the results".

But after listening to Han Jian's words, they knew that Han Jian was ready to pursue the victory in one go, and it was very planned to fight the Luoyang army first, and then contain the Beiwang army first.

For the judgment of the current situation, Han Jian is also very mature. Although it will be a little reckless to take the initiative, in this recklessness, there is a degree of advance and retreat.

After listening to this, Han Songshi sighed and said, "Jian'er, it's not Erniang who said you. Did you keep me and your Sanniang in the dark before? ”

Han Jian smiled awkwardly, and said a little apologetically: "Er Niang and San Niang forgive me, I did this to paralyze the enemy." ”

Han Songshi glanced at Han Jian and sighed softly, but Han Cuishi next to him smiled, as if he was scolding, and as if he was praising him, and said, "You kid, I know that you don't have a good heart." Tell me and your second mother that Jiang is short of food and materials, and we worry about it every day, but in the end we know that you have hidden so many things secretly. I knew that you and I wouldn't have to worry so much. ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "Isn't it precisely because of Sanniang's good acting with Erniang that the rebellious and even Qi people believe it to be true, thinking that we are at the end of the road?" ”

Han Songshi said: "Jian'er, how much grain is there in Jiangdu, you Sanniang and I know very well, how do you dispatch so much grain?" ”

Han Jian knew that Han Song and Han Cui's family couldn't understand the situation now, so they wouldn't give up, and now there was no need to continue to hide the matter, so he said, "Erniang, do you remember that we bought grain from the Jiangdu gentry and rich Jia before?" ”

"Yes." Han Songshi thought for a while and said, "But aren't all of them already suitable for military rations?" ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "The grain we bought from around Jiangdu is suitable for military rations, but Erniang, don't forget, the scale of the local gentry and merchants in Jiangdu is so large. In addition to Jiangdu, there are also all parts of Jiangdu, and even the Shandong generation is involved. I sent men to buy grain in large quantities, and stored it all before the rebels moved south, just in case they were needed. ”

"I see." Han Songshi suddenly said, "That...... I don't know with you Sanniang, you are ...... By the way, you should have discussed it with Steward Lin. But so? ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, "From beginning to end, apart from knowing the overall plan, only Steward Lin knew about it. Even if the officials below knew about it, they didn't know exactly how much we had in store because the grain was stored separately. Coupled with the fact that the people of Nanqi went back and forth to Jiangdu, it made people think that Jiangdu's grain storage was unsustainable. ”

Han Song nodded and said: "It seems that you Sanniang and I also underestimated the ability of this Lin steward before, Jian'er, you have to treat her well in the future, such a capable woman is rare in the world." ”

Hearing this, Han Jian smiled, and Han Cuishi next to him pulled Han Song's hand, meaning to remind Han Song's not to be too "direct".

Han Jian said with a smile: "Erniang, rest assured, Steward Lin is honest and sincere, and it should be helpful to Dongwangfu in the future." In addition to the fact that she is a woman, there should be no doubt about her ability. ”

Han Songshi nodded when he heard this, opened his mouth to say something, and finally stopped talking.

Han Jian already knew before that Han Song and Han Cui had discussed Lin Xiaoshu's issue in private. In their opinion, since Han Jian entrusted a heavy task to a woman, and this woman was related to such a big matter as the dispatch of money and grain in Jiangdu, even if she was Lin Zhan's sister and had a close personal relationship with Han Jian, it could not be ruled out that she would be bribed. The only way is to accept her into the mansion as soon as possible and become Han Jian's concubine, so that Lin Xiaoshu has a reputation, and doing things is equivalent to doing things for himself, and he will work harder.

Han Song and Han Cui are also self-conscious, after all, they are also the concubines of the East Prince's Mansion, and for so many years, they have completely put themselves in the shoes of the East Prince's Mansion and cultivated Han Jian to become an adult.

After Han Jian learned about it, although he felt that it was nothing to accommodate Lin Xiaoshu, he didn't want to have emotional matters related to political interests. Even if he wants to continue to develop with Lin Xiaoshu, he doesn't want it to be because Lin Xiaoshu is his housekeeper.

"Erniang, Sanniang, the next half a month can be said to be the half month when our Dongwang Mansion decides success or failure. The war in the north will be very tense, and I usually don't have time to go home, and in this half a month, I will also take Li'er to the east of the city to talk to you. Han Jian said.

Han Songshi nodded and said, "Jian'er, if you want to do great things, you must also pay attention to your body. Even if this war can't be won, at least it won't be worse than before, as long as there is Jiangdu in the East Palace, it will still be the East Palace, as you mentioned before, the table is given to Luoyang, anyway, His Majesty is not in Jiangdu now. ”

Han Jian didn't expect Han Song's to have such an "awareness".

In Han Jian's eyes, these aunts of his are all considering problems from the position of the empress, even if the empress disappears, they have to find it back, and now they actually take the initiative to bring up the matter of Luoyang.

However, Han Jian also knew that after Han Song and Han Cui learned that among the four kings now, only Jiang was not on the table, in fact, he also suddenly understood in his heart that interests came first in front of politics. It is precisely because Jiang is not on the table, and he takes the empress over, that he will become the target of public criticism, and even the Nanwang Mansion, which is married to the East Prince's Mansion, does not provide the slightest assistance in the face of such a war.
