Han Jian was picking up Gu Xin'er from the Gu Mansion and preparing to go to the city for a walk. Zhang Xing suddenly came to the gate of Gu's mansion to play a gift, saying that Sima had something important to do. Han Jian frowned, Sima Yi now knew very well that he didn't want people to disturb him when he was with Gu Xin'er, so he should not be able to get acquainted.

"Xin'er, you wait, I'll go over and talk about something first." Han Jian said to Gu Xin'er.

"Hmm." Gu Xin'er nodded gently, she was now obedient to Han Jianyan.

Han Jian and Zhang Xing stepped aside, and Sima Yi hurriedly came over and said something in Han Jian's ear. Han Jian's face sank as well, originally he thought that the matter would not be too big, but when he learned the news, he still felt that the matter was a bit big.

Xianbei people go south!

This is consistent with Han Jian's previous speculation, and the current shape may not be that the Xianbei people broke through the defense line of the Northern King and went south, but that the Northern King's soldiers and horses went south by themselves. This will disrupt the military deployment of the imperial court on the northern line of the Yellow River, and the northern king will also enter a mode of forcing the palace, that is, rebellion.

"Young boy, this is news that just came from the north."

Sima handed Han Jian a note of news that Lady Luo's people had just received from the north of the Yellow River, and regardless of the accuracy of the news now, it already indicated that the king of the north and the imperial court were about to start a stalemate on the Yellow River.

The soldiers and horses of the Northern King should not directly cross the Yellow River to suppress Luoyang City, because the Northern King's power in Luoyang City has just been uprooted, and the Northern King knows very well that it is difficult for him to knock through the Luoyang defense line of the imperial court without internal response. But the king of the north will not stand idly by, since he brought the soldiers and horses over, it is not just to intimidate the empress. But the throne must not rest.

Although Han Jian had long speculated that the North King would take a risk, but now that the North King was really taking a risk, Han Jian still didn't expect it, because what the North King was doing now was a little crazy, and Han Jian couldn't understand what the North King would do next. Put himself in his shoes, Han Jian never thought about how the Northern King, who had lost his internal response, dared to enter the army like this, could it be that the Northern King had any special arrangements around Luoyang City?

Han Jian had no intention of going out with Gu Xin'er again, so he had to go back and explain the situation to Gu Xin'er, and wait for a trip to Luoyang together in the future.

Han Jian did not tell Gu Xin'er the real situation. But Gu Xin'er understood Han Jian very well. Han Jian didn't hide it too much. It's just that there are certain accidents in the war in the north, and Gu Xin'er is very concerned and asks Han Jian to go back first. Han Jian said goodbye to Gu Xin'er and was about to leave, and Gu Weipan's sedan chair came over. Stop in front of the Gu Mansion.

"Chief Gu." Han Jian said hello to Gu Weipan.

Gu Weipan hurriedly returned home. It's like something's going on. Han Jian did not learn of the news north of the Yellow River through the channels of the imperial court. Han Jian didn't know if Gu Weipan's return to the mansion was related to the tense situation in the north of the Yellow River.

"Are you there?" Gu Weipan got out of the sedan chair, walked over directly, and glanced at Han Jian and Gu Xin'er. Motioned for Gu Xin'er to enter the mansion.

After Gu Xin'er saluted, she entered the mansion, and Gu Weipan said: "Your Majesty summoned people from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War into the palace to talk, do you know about this?" ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "How do you know if your lower body is outside?" ”

"Then now the old man has sued you, you don't know it." Gu Weipan said with a cold expression, "If the old man is not bad, His Majesty is in such a hurry to summon people from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War into the palace, it may be related to the matter of Xianbei people. ”

Han Jian nodded, and said in his heart that Gu Weipan was not stupid, and he could guess from some of the empress's actions that the current situation north of the Yellow River had changed. In fact, from the beginning of the Xianbei people's offense, there was a lot of discussion in the court about this matter, and the general view is that the Xianbei people have just calmed down their internal disputes and are not capable of launching a large-scale offense, and the Xianbei people are only plundering at most, and some people also guess that this is a way for the king of the north to take the opportunity to reach out to the court to ask for money and grain. The court did not attach great importance to the invasion of the Xianbei people, mainly because the court agreed that as long as the appetite of the king of the north was satisfied, this matter would be resolved smoothly and would not affect the situation on the north and south banks of the Yellow River.

But unexpectedly, the situation is still deteriorating. The king of the north seems to be "unable to stop" the pace of the Xianbei people's southern invasion, in fact, this just shows that the Xianbei people are colluded with the king of the north.

"What does Chief Gu think about this?" Han Jian asked.

Gu Weipan said with a calm face: "The matter of marching and fighting has nothing to do with the old man, what can the old man think?" But remember, don't offend Long Yan again, Your Majesty shouldn't see you right now. ”

Han Jian smiled and nodded, probably now Gu Weipan also knew very well that his relationship with the empress was very rigid, which was a disguised reminder to him not to take care of anything during this sensitive period, lest the empress grab his braids.

"Thank you Chief Gu for the reminder." Han Jian thought to himself, Gu Weipan returned home in such a hurry, obviously he didn't expect him to be there, and these were just reminders on the way. The matter of marching and fighting is said to have nothing to do with the Shangting Office, but after all, there is the Metropolitan Weapons Department in the Shangting Office, which is what the outside world calls the Military Industrial Institute, Gu Weipan will probably explain to his wife and children at home when he returns home, he will not come back these days for the time being, and the matter of the concubine's naturalization should be delayed for the time being.

Han Jian said goodbye to Gu Weipan, and did not go back to the Dongwangfu Annex, but went to the bookstore first. In the bookstore, Mrs. Luo and Da Xiliu had already come over in advance with a nervous look, and Han Jian came in, and Mrs. Luo reported the latest situation in the north again, and also let Han Jian know about the situation north of the Yellow River.

“…… Young son, if it is right, the soldiers and horses of the king of the north will soon be killed on the north bank of the Yellow River. Mrs. Lowe concluded.

Han Jian nodded, originally Luoyang was not far from the northern border pass, and the people and horses of the Northern King used the name of the Xianbei people to go south to suppress the territory, and it was only a few days before Chen Bing could reach the north of Luoyang, which was also expected by Han Jian. The key is that Han Jian can't think of how the North King will threaten the defense of Luoyang City, just the army is pressing, the empress and the court will not be afraid, unless the North King has some magic weapon to win, otherwise the North King came to let the Empress know about his conspiracy, and then let the Empress have enough time to summon the world's soldiers and horses to Qin Wang, which is really not a good move for the North King. It can be said to be a stinky move.

There must be something that was not expected. Han Jian thought in his heart, with the old scheming of the king of the east, he has been painstakingly arranging in Luoyang City for so many years, even if some forces are uprooted by Han Jian, he will never be overturned, that is to say, the king of the north still arranges important manpower in the defense of Luoyang, and can give the king of the north enough military support when the army of the king of the north is pressing, and can even help the king of the north to go south to Luoyang City in one fell swoop and command the world.

Han Jian glanced up in the direction of the palace, but unfortunately there was no news from the palace now, the empress had not summoned him for many days after reprimanding him last time, and no new instructions had come out. This qiē seemed to indicate that the alliance between him and the empress had broken down. If this is the case, Han Jian can't think of the meaning of staying in Luoyang City, in a situation where he can't predict the back-up of a strong opponent, Han Jian feels that leaving Luoyang City and returning to Jiangdu may not be a good choice.
