Han Jian didn't care about the people of these migratory families, and the chain reaction it brought about.

These families are all wealthy families in Luoyang, and it is common for a family to have hundreds of people. They came to Jiangdu in batches, and if the Dongwang Mansion did not give them resettlement, they needed to find a way out on their own, which caused a lot of trouble and disputes.

Jiangdu, a not very wealthy place, suddenly came to settle down with so many big donors, and their appearance made the wealthy families in the city see business opportunities. Originally, many wealthy families lost a lot of money in the previous grain speculation, and they all wanted to make up for their losses, and these families wanted to buy satisfactory fields and houses, so they could only buy them with these people, and they were destined to be slaughtered.

Buying and selling are prone to disputes, and the status of these family gate valves after coming to Jiangdu also needs to be guaranteed. They began to walk among the gentry, trying to integrate themselves into it by establishing new networks through guò.

However, Jiangdu's family system has also long been perfected, and the relationship and interests between various families are not something that these family valves can integrate into for a while. This can lead to a sense of isolation.

came and went, there were many disputes, and the government couldn't manage it, so they had to report it all to Han Jian. Han Jian read the report and put it on the shelf, this time he was not going to help those family lords and local gentry mediate. He pit the local gentry and the rich, that is for the long-term development of Jiangdu, if he helps these family valves, it is to pit his own people. At the moment of the war, Han Jian needed the support of these local gentry and wealthy families.

In late February, the war in the north took a sudden turn for the worse.

The main thing is that Han Jian overestimated the strength of the Luoyang Army. After the Luoyang army besieged the city for more than a month, it could not be attacked for a long time, and Jiangdu did not come to the rescue, so their plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements was hindered.

Luoyang did not expect that Luozhou would be able to hold on for more than a month, originally in Yang Yu's plan, this city was only three or five days, and it would definitely be able to be conquered, even if it was passively turned into a siege, it would force the Jiangdu side to come to the rescue.

But the truth is. The grain and grass materials in Luozhou City are temporarily enough to cope with it for more than a month. Luoju is also a military town in the north of Jiangdu, and it has its uniqueness in military defense. Even if the generals under Yang Yu knew where the key points of the city defense were, it was not easy to attack.

By mid-February, after a month of siege. The Luoyang army attacked the city for another two days. After the attack is not taken. The evacuation began. There are signs of immediate abandonment in this war.

Han Jian keenly felt that this was not because the Luoyang Army was not capable of combat, but because of the lack of response.

A war. Usually from preparation to happening, it can be as short as a few years, and as long as it can be decades or even hundreds of years. Only by doing everything can we grasp the war and not panic in the face of the war.

But Yang Yu usurped the throne in less than four months, and he ascended the throne for less than two months. The preparation of this war was hasty, even if the Luoyang army was frustrated at the beginning, but after all, its advantage was there, Luoyang had the rear of the Central Plains as a supply, and the supply of military supplies was much more sufficient.

The Luoyang Army withdrew its troops, and also unofficially withdrew its troops, but only temporarily retreated for dozens of miles to wait and see whether the Jiangdu side would directly take the initiative to attack, or continue to hold out.

In Yang Yu's view, this weak move can completely attract the defenders of Luozhou, and if they fight in the field, this battle can be secured.

However, within two days of the withdrawal of the Luoyang army, except for the urgent delivery of some medicinal materials urgently needed in the city, the reinforcements did not enter the city, and none of the defenders in the city came out.

After observing for three days, the Luoyang army was furious and swept back in. Not only did they increase their troops and horses, but they also besieged Luozhou City at the same time as the Northern Wang's army.

The Luoyang army was responsible for the south and west directions of the city, while the Northern Wang army launched a fierce attack from the north of the city. Surrounding three and one is also in line with the way of siege.

In just two days, Luozhou was already in danger, and not only sent envoys to the surrounding cities to ask for help.

After the resumption of tension in Luozhou, the Dongwang Mansion was also brightly lit all night. The newly established military department yamen was further expanded to include some officials of the military department system of the original imperial court. The big war is imminent, and there is no point in infighting. The combined forces of the Luoyang Army and the Northern Wang Army were close to 200,000.

With 200,000 soldiers and horses, grain, grass and baggage, to capture a Luozhou city with less than 10,000 defenders, it is almost an overnight thing.

Han Jian simply came to the main hall of the Dongwang Mansion overnight, and summoned the generals and think tanks under the command of the Dongwang Mansion to discuss the next strategy.

At this time, even the generals and think tanks of the Dongwang Mansion felt that Luozhou could not be defended, so they could only evacuate and organize the soldiers and civilians in the city to break through, or let it go. And to order the troops and horses of the Dongwangfu around Luozhou to retreat.

At this time, the deployment of the Dongwangfu around Luozhou had not yet been perfected, and in addition to the defenders of Luozhou, there were about 60,000 soldiers and horses. Among the 60,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are local garrisons, that is to say, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Dongwangfu who can really go to the battlefield to fight and not collapse at the touch of a button. On the side of the Beiwang Army and the Luoyang Army, although not all of the 200,000 soldiers and horses are elite, there are also more than 100,000 soldiers and horses who can go into battle to kill the enemy.

Dwarfed by this, there is no other way but to defend.

“…… In today's situation, it is a good strategy to stick to the city and prepare for long-term war. Han Jian finally said.

In the past, when Han Jian said such things, he would be regarded as a nest by these generals, but now that Han Jian said it, everyone felt that it made sense. In this case, as long as it is hard-hitting, it is defeat, and the more troops are sent, the faster the defeat will be. It's better to stick to it, and then it will be a little harder, but as long as Luoyang is still in Yang Yu's hands for a day, the alliance between Luoyang and Beiwangfu may collapse at any time, and Xiwangfu will also send troops at any time.

"On the south king's side, I wonder if the young master can send someone to lobby and order him to send troops to rescue?" A military general asked Han Jiandao.

"No." Before Han Jian returned, someone next to him retorted, "Although the King of the South is now allied with the East Wangfu, the King of the South and his people are in the shadows, and at this time, his soldiers and horses enter the territory of our Jiangdu, and with a counterattack, the Jiangdu will fall into a two-front battle, which is really unwise." Today, although the offensive of the thief army is fierce, there are troubles, and if it goes on for a long time, Jiangdu will definitely be able to turn the corner from danger. ”

These words reached Han Jian's heart.

Han Jian formed an alliance with Nanwang at the beginning, mainly to prevent Nanwangfu from stabbing him in the back, but as for the rescue, Han Jian didn't think about it at all.

Han Jian guessed that at this time, Yang Luochuan should be thinking about how to capture Luoyang City, and as for the troubled waters of Jiangdu, Yang Luochuan should not come. Because even if he sends troops, whether it is an alliance with Jiangdu to help fight the coalition forces of Luoyang and Beiwangfu, or a stab in the back, it is not in his interests, and he is making a wedding dress for others. Because the soldiers and horses of the Nanwang Mansion have not yet reached the point where they can control the overall situation.

But the more turbulent the battle in Jiangdu, it will mean that the defense of Luoyang City will be more empty, and Yang Luochuan will not be staring at Luoyang for a day or two, Han Jian believes that Yang Luochuan has already calculated how to capture Luoyang many times in his heart.

"In terms of reinforcements, we won't send them for the time being." Han Jian finally said, "But the soldiers and horses can't be withdrawn, once the opportunity can be taken, we still have to go to Luozhou." ”

After Han Jian said this, the people present could also feel that this was a scene.

Now in this shape, 200,000 soldiers and horses are besieging Luozhou, and the total reinforcements from Jiangdu are only 60,000. Going to the rescue is the same as sending them to death, under what circumstances will there be "opportunities"?

On the fifth day of the deterioration of the situation in Luozhou, Han Jian received a battle report from the front, saying that the city of Luozhou had fallen.

Although Han Jian had expected this result a long time ago, and it was also within his plan, it also made him feel depressed for a while.

The fall of Luozhou will mean that the northern barrier of Jiangdu has been opened, and the next cities in the central and northern parts of the country are not as stable as Luozhou, and it will be more difficult to defend. The first phase of the war ended in two months, and although it came a little later than Han Jian expected, it was not the best time in Han Jian's plan.

Han Jian went to Yang Li'er's room and told Yang Li'er about the situation. Yang Li'er saw that Han Jian was preoccupied, so she said: "That's fine, after all, the supply in Luozhou is too far and inconvenient." When the thieves go south, we will have a chance. ”

Han Jian sighed: "But after all, it has also brought the battle line closer to Jiangdu. ”

Yang Li'er was silent, in fact, she had been in battle for a long time after all, and she had seen a lot of things on the battlefield. Yesterday it may be your own city, and tomorrow it will fall into the hands of the enemy. She will not worry about it because of this, and think about what will happen if Jiangdu City is broken in the future.

Han Jian suddenly smiled and said, "Li'er, if the war continues, you and I will also go to the front line, are you prepared?" ”

"It's just going to the battlefield, and it's not like I haven't been there. What's more, even if you go this time, it's not to go into battle to kill the enemy, you don't worry, what am I worried about? Yang Li'er said with a relaxed face.

Han Jian sighed and said, "It seems that I still can't be as suitable as you!" In the future, if you have to practice more of your state of mind, you will be able to reach the same realm as you. ”

Yang Li'er smiled at Han Jian's words, but her eyes were full of warmth.

At the beginning, she was also afraid that she would not be able to integrate into the life of Dongwangfu after coming to Jiangdu, but after more than two months, although she would feel a little bored, even if she had nothing to do every day, she would feel comfortable. When you think about what happened on the battlefield, you will feel that your life is not suitable for you.

"Xianggong, if we can't hold out in a few cities in the north, the thief army will send a large number of cavalry into our hinterland to harass us. At that time, the trade routes will be cut off, and even the delivery of information may be delayed. At that time, the inhabitants of the city may be better, and the people outside the city may be attacked, so you should be prepared for this. Yang Li'er reminded.

Han Jian nodded.

The fall of Luozhou will mean that Jiangdu will completely turn to passive defense, and the initiative will be completely handed over to the combined forces of Luoyang and Beiwangfu.

The best way is to clear the wilderness, but this will lose the interests of the people. It was really difficult for Han Jian to do. (To be continued......)
