Daxi Liu saluted respectfully and said, "I don't know why the young man summoned his subordinates late at night?" ”

Although Da Xiliu is always in a state of being in a state of readiness, after all, she is only in charge of the intelligence system, not the internal supervision system, and she can't get involved in many things in the army of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, unless she has a special military order from Han Jian. As for Yi Die, she was originally a very important person in charge of Yang Rui's intelligence system, but after she was captured by mistake and then forcibly occupied by Han Jian, although she could still walk freely, she had lost the trust of her colleagues. Now Yi Die is more idle, and she doesn't know anything about many things in the court system.

Han Jian said: "There may be chaos in the city today, you send people to transfer the people on night duty in the Wu'an Station, and you don't have to worry about the military station." Another 500 followers will be transferred to be ready to receive the south gate of Luoyang at any time. ”

Onishi Liu was slightly shocked, how could Han Jian use someone from her intelligence system to take over the city gate? I wonder if the city gates may be coveted and threatened? Thinking about it again, now the soldiers and horses of the Hou of Zhennan are stationed in the south of Luoyang City, if someone wants to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Hou of Zhennan, they will inevitably take the south gate of the city as a breakthrough. She immediately grasped the point, someone wanted to take advantage of the wedding of the emperor and the king of the east to open the city to meet the enemy.

"Subordinates obey!" Da Xiliu hurriedly left, while Yi Die stood in place, she didn't know why Han Jian asked her to come over.

Everyone left, Han Jian waved his hand and motioned for Yi Die to speak inside. Yi Die paused a little before walking to the palace gate, and when he got to the palace gate, there were guards who immediately closed the palace gate, and Han Jian and Yi Die went up to the city tower at the south gate together, overlooking the dark street below.

"Do you know why this king asked you to come?" Han Jian said coldly.

Yi Die didn't answer, for her, the whole of Luoyang is now a big cage, even if she still has a certain amount of freedom. But under Han Jian's strict order, she had to go back to the courtyard set up for her every day to rest, just like a concubine waiting to be bed. She knew very well that Han Jian wouldn't come over often, and even so, she still had to wait there every day, and she couldn't even go out. This is the condition for her to protect the internal affairs system of the imperial court, and Han Jian used this as a threat, so that she had to obey. Although she made a lot of sacrifices for this. But the people in the court did not appreciate her, but regarded her as a traitor. There are many things that don't let her participate in them, and they even guard against her. Yi Die knows very well that this is the sadness of being a woman.

Han Jian glanced at Yi Die, who was a little sad, before he said, "This king knows that you have felt wronged these days, and it is not good inside and out. You may hate me and think that I deliberately made you snubbed by the people of the court. You don't have to hate, this king will not allow the enemy to be by my side, so wouldn't this be a tiger for trouble? Since you stayed, you still want to do something for the court. I'll give you a chance today. ”

"Your Highness's words, the concubine can't understand them." Yi Die said indifferently.

Han Jian said: "Today, some people are preparing to be unfavorable to the imperial court, but few people are aware of it now. Even Majesty knows about it, but you don't know? ”

Yi Die was shocked, even the emperor knew about it, but she didn't even notify her? However, she still kept her composure, and didn't tell her, and there was no other reason than not trusting her. Since others don't trust her. Why did she ask with a shy face, did she still want her enemy Han Jian to tell her the truth?

"This time, the soldiers and horses of the Hou of Zhennan pressed into Luoyang. There was no reason before. The imperial court sent people to question them, but they all fell into the sea, and those who went were not returned, which you must know clearly. Han Jian said, "But there is one thing you don't know, the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Zhennan did not dare to enter Luoyang, because the Marquis of Zhennan was afraid. ”

Yi Die couldn't help but prick up her ears. Although she wanted to convince herself not to pay attention to it, what Han Jian said was exactly what she had done more than ten years ago, how could she just stop talking? has developed a professional habit, and when she encounters this kind of confidential information, she has to investigate it clearly.

"After the king of the south left Luoyang. did not return to the Zhennan Hou army, but was captured by the Dongwang Mansion. Han Jian said.

"Huh?" Yi Die's surprise was not small, before the king of the south fled to Luoyang, what a big deal, the court and the Dongwang Mansion are trying their best to find it, but after all, the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Zhennan have already suppressed the city, if the king of the south escapes, the Dongwang Mansion has nothing to do about it, and has never heard of the whereabouts of the Nanwang, how could he suddenly be captured by the Dongwangfu?

"You don't believe in this king?" Han Jian sneered.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Yi Die saluted slightly, although she had doubts in her heart, but after thinking about it carefully, if the king of the south fled and was captured, the king of the east might release the news to confuse others, but she is now not a person inside and out, and no one will reuse it for her anymore, so what's the point of deceiving her?

Han Jian said: "Lin Shilang and his entourage were personally sent by His Majesty to the Zhennan Hou Army, and although Lin Shilang did not return, he secretly sent someone back to report that the Zhennan Hou was not in the army. Do you know why? ”

Yi Die frowned and said, "Why is Zhennanhou not in the army?" ”

"That's the crux of the matter." Han Jian looked into the distance and said, "Because the Marquis of Zhennan was afraid of the oppression of Yuzhou by the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, he had to go back to preside over the overall situation in person, so he secretly left the army and returned to Yuzhou." Yuzhou is missing the king of the south as the backbone, if the marquis of Zhennan does not go back, then who is expected to guard Yuzhou? At a critical time, the Marquis of Zhennan can also distinguish priorities, although he was ordered by the Nanwang army to plot against the Luoyang court, but he did not dare to lose the base camp. ”

"What does the East King mean!?" Yi Die had already heard that this time it didn't seem that someone wanted to covet Luoyang City, but that the East King coveted the military camp of Nanhou outside the city.

"This king is ready to send soldiers and horses to remove the threat of the Yuzhou military camp outside the city in one fell swoop." Han Jian said.

Yi Die looked a little anxious and said: "Your Highness is better to think twice, now a qiē is just a rumor, I don't know if Zhennanhou has really returned to Yuzhou, even if he goes back, he will definitely be on guard against the possibility that he may take the initiative to attack in the city, and he must be on guard." If this battle is lost, Luoyang is in danger. On the contrary, it is better to wait for reinforcements from the north, and the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou will inevitably retreat without a fight. ”

Han Jian glanced at Yi Die with a smile and said, "It seems that you are still quite concerned about the current situation in Luoyang." ”

Yi Die lowered her head when she heard this, but she was thinking in her heart, even if she cared, what if she cared? The East King only covets her beauty and will not reuse her, and because of the East King's domination, she has also become an enemy in the eyes of the people in the court system. Now she has no reason to care, in the end, the current situation in Luoyang has nothing to do with her.

"Envoy Yibuku, there is a military order here, please take it to the Wu'an Office." Han Jian suddenly took out a warrant and handed it to Yi Die, "Before tomorrow morning." You personally led a road of soldiers and horses from the southeast side obliquely into the ribs of the Yuzhou soldiers and horses, if you succeed, do not fight for a long time, quickly withdraw to the busy Yan Mountain, and someone will pick you up at that time. ”

Yi Die took over the military order, but was a little at a loss. A "second minister" like her is also qualified to lead troops? She only has experience in charge of the intelligence system, but has no experience in actually leading troops, and even if she wants to lead people on a mission, she will never exceed 100 people at a time. But this time, Han Jian gave her a town of soldiers and horses, about 3,000 soldiers and horses. These are the backbone of the city's defense.

"Your Highness is not afraid of concubines......" Yi Die didn't continue, because she herself felt that she couldn't say it.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Are you afraid of your betrayal and secretly plotting against Luoyang?" Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people. You are also thinking about the imperial court, and now the Hou soldiers and horses of Zhennan are threatening Luoyang. is also threatening the imperial court, you do things for the imperial court, this is your responsibility. If I am worried about you because of this, how many people in the court need me to worry about? ”

Yi Die wanted to say, how can this be the same? Those people in the court have no military power in their hands at all. Although 3,000 soldiers and horses may not seem like much, if she leads the troops to rebel from within, it is a force to be reckoned with. And she is very familiar with the garrisons and patrols in the city. It's easier to attack Luoyang.

"Go, triumph early. This king is waiting for you to return in the tent. Han Jian suddenly said very generously.

Yi Die thought of the meaning of Han Jian's words. She is now a general when she goes out on the expedition, and when she returns to the military tent, she is just a woman on Han Jian's side. Han Jian's words were a pun, although she was very reluctant to accept these two identities at the same time, but thinking that Luoyang might die in danger of this night, she also felt that she had a responsibility to carry it. What if you are scolded for colluding with the East Palace?

"Concubine...... Subordinates receive orders! ”

Yi Die hurriedly wanted to leave with the soldiers, but Han Jian smiled and said, "Find someone to accompany you." ”

Yi Die then remembered her identity, if she just took the military order to the barracks to transfer troops, who would listen to her with her previous identity? It would be different if Han Jian sent someone with him, and Han Jian also summoned several generals in advance. Now it's also at the palace gate. Han Jian sent them as Yi Die's right and left hands, watching the torches go away, Han Jian also had a sense of sadness about sending his relatives to the battlefield.

Han Jian came down from the city tower and immediately explained to the few generals who had been summoned that the soldiers and horses led by Yi Die were not pioneers, and there were not many defenders in the city, if he sent soldiers and horses to surround and annihilate the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, it would inevitably make the city empty. And what Han Jian had to rely on was the defenders who patrolled the yamen in the city and couldn't stand the table at all to garrison Luoyang. Every qiē must be reasonable and not suspicious, otherwise Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses, who are only two hundred miles away from Luoyang, will be the first to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Speaking of the general strategy, the several generals who were summoned couldn't help but feel a little surprised in their hearts, Han Jian actually meant to lure the enemy out first, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

"Young boy, so...... Will it be a little riskier? "Some generals mentioned it to their faces.

Han Jian said with a smile: "Wealth is in danger." Now that Luoyang is suffering from internal and external troubles, if it can't inspire people with a victory, how can it be convincing? Although Yuzhou was loyal to the imperial court, but now he dares to have ill intentions towards Luoyang behind his back, now is the best time for Yuzhou not to dare to have delusions about Luoyang, or do you have any collusion with Yuzhou? ”

Han Jian's words were very cold, and the generals immediately saluted to show their loyalty.

Han Jian immediately made an explanation, lightened the garrison at the south gate of the city, and then sent some people to recruit troops and horses, ready to go out of the city to meet the attack at any time. The soldiers and horses are to go out from the east and west gates, so as to avoid the eyeliner of the Zhennan Hou soldiers and horses. When the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou got the news to advance to Luoyang, the rear would inevitably be empty, and the Dongwang army was given a chance.

Once all the arrangements are ready, all that remains is how to convince the soldiers and horses of the Hou of Zhennan. If you want to come to Zhennanhou, you must have an explanation before returning to Yuzhou, that is, you can't act rashly, but now everyone knows that this night he Han Jian and Yang Rui got married, such a good opportunity for anyone who wants to make a career will not miss it. Han Jian was tantamount to taking advantage of people's psychology, originally afraid that someone would covet Luoyang City, so he would give these people a chance. He knew that the Yuzhou side must have bought some people in the city, so that these people could pass on the news, and one or two outside the city would inevitably think that there was fraud, but if there were more people who passed the news out, the three of them would become tigers, and they were not afraid that the Hou army in Zhennan would not be tricked.

At this time, when he first arrived, it was not yet midnight, and it was only half an hour after Han Jian had completed the transfer of soldiers and horses. Han Jian was startled, and did not go out in person, and there were not many soldiers and horses used at all, and there were nearly 30,000 soldiers stationed in the city itself, most of which were recruits and garrisons, which was also the only remaining soldiers and horses in the city after Yang Xi led the troops to the expedition. These soldiers and horses themselves lack actual combat experience, and at most they can only be regarded as garrisons, and I believe that even Zhennanhou himself will not believe that Han Jian dares to use such a battleless army to shake his battle-hardened elite soldiers. Moreover, what Han Jian allocated was only some of the men and horses who were still resting in the barracks, with a total of more than 13,000 people, as for the soldiers and horses stationed at the city gates, in order to avoid being noticed by the Zhennan Hou Department, he simply did not pass the military order, anyway, the city was also under martial law, and the city gates would not be opened under normal circumstances. It is equivalent to saying that there is no need to issue military orders, and the gates in the city are already in a state of strict readiness.

As soon as the time passed, news came back from outside the city, saying that there was already a vanguard army in the Zhennan Hou military camp coming in the direction of the south of Luoyang City, which showed that before he came out of the palace, someone had secretly contacted the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou outside the city. wants to take advantage of Han Jian and Yang Rui's wedding to be unfavorable to Luoyang. What Han Jian has to do now is to add fuel to the fire, and then let more people release the wind of the emptiness of the garrison in the city, and even expose the weakness of the defense in Luoyang City, so that the Zhennan Hou Department is real. In order to convince the Hou of Zhennan, Han Jian even did not hesitate to guard the city gate with some generals who were connected with him, so that even if the Hou of Zhennan came over, they would believe that this qiē was the truth. Waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Hou of Zhennan to cross the moat, and then taking the control of the city gate with the power of thunder, forcing the soldiers and horses of the Hou of Zhennan to withdraw their troops. At this time, the soldiers and horses who had already been ambushed could wait for the opportunity to launch an attack on the military camp of Zhennanhou.

The plan is well designed, but there are many uncertainties about putting it into practice. And the most critical point is how to use more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to shake the 30,000 elite soldiers in the Hou Department of Zhennan. If there is a loss in this battle, then Luoyang can only fall into a situation of passive beating in a short time, and even the soldiers and horses of the Western Expedition may have to be transferred back.
