Chapter 683: Sending troops to Guanzhong

It is not strange for Han Jian to pacify Jiangbei in one fell swoop, and now that Han Jian said it in front of the two of them, he knew that they did not agree, needless to say that it would only be one of them who could be reused by the Dongwang Mansion after the matter was completed.∑

Although Li Yun was inferior to Mrs. Luo in terms of wealth, she was quick in her mind and asked at the moment, "I don't know what His Highness ordered his subordinates to do?"

Mrs. Luo couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, she had already been inseparable from her before, and now she had to rob her just by showing her loyalty in front of Han Jian, and she couldn't help cursing Li Yun in her heart.

Han Jian picked up the roster, but tore the book from the middle and divided it into two halves. Han Jian said: "There are some people here, this king needs you to do something. You have nothing to do with each other, in short, if the matter is done, there is only one person who can be the king of Xiliang. Needless to say, if you don't do it well, you won't have to see each other again."

Mrs. Luo and Li Yun were nervous, they only roughly knew that it was a roster, and they didn't know who was listed on it, and they didn't know what they wanted them to do now. However, when they heard the "King of Xiliang", they still set off some waves in their hearts, this is a matter of power struggle, and now Han Jianming is putting her two to compete, and if she does it well, one person will win, and the previous efforts of the losing party will be in vain, as if all the efforts in this life will be successful or failed.

"Take it."

Han Jian put the two rosters on the table, and he got up to leave, not even explaining what he wanted them to do.

In fact, there are some things that don't need to be explained too much, Mrs. Luo and Li Yun are both from the old department of Xiliang, and they are also quite familiar with the system of Xiwangfu, as long as they see the names of the people on it, they can probably guess what Han Jian is going to do. The above list is nothing more than some "important figures" under the Western Wangfu system, from civil officials to military generals. and then to the ministers and even some in-laws who want Yang Pingju to be raised. Han Jian handed them over to them to let them "do things", either assassinate or bribe, Han Jian obviously will not let them kill all the things on the list, it all depends on whether what they do will help the court to send troops to win the victory. Whoever has made the greatest contribution is naturally the winner of this narrow encounter.

Mrs. Luo and Li Yun each took half of the book, and they didn't know much about the list of people listed in each other's hands. No matter how detailed the roster is, it won't list everyone on it, and as for what to do, they naturally have to find someone to discuss when they go back.

On the way to leave the secret residence and go to the yamen of the military station, Han Jian was also thinking about whether it would be inappropriate to hand over these tasks to Mrs. Luo and Li Yun.

Now he has not released the news of the capture of Guanzhong, and then he will let go of the wind and let the world know that the court has this movement, and he does not intend to hide it in the matter of attacking Guanzhong. Because he needs to build momentum, he needs to get the response of the people, and he also needs to use this to stabilize people's hearts. And he sent the mission to Mrs. Luo and Li Yun in advance. Letting them do things is one thing, but he doesn't expect that, he means more to be tempted. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish who is good or bad, but who is loyal or not, will eat inside and outside at a critical time, and it will be very obvious when doing this kind of unsightly person.

When he arrived at the yamen of the military station, Han Jian summoned the generals in Luoyang and held a brief meeting. The meeting was the last meeting of the year, and he explained some of Luoyang's daily defense problems. also officially conveyed the news that he was about to take advantage of the winter to attack Guanzhong, and unsurprisingly, the generals were stunned.

Finally, the north has a slight assessment, and even said that it has not been pacified, and the Xianbei people have just withdrawn, and it has not been a few days. There is still not much news from Su Tingxia's department in the territory of Bohai State, that is to say, the war is still ongoing, and the question of whether it will be war or peace after Su Tingxia's department comes back has not yet been settled, and it will take some time for the northern city to receive it, and the capture of Beichuan City also needs the final attack. At this time, he suddenly said that he was going to send troops to attack Guanzhong, and naturally everyone felt incredible. The steps are very large, and it is easy to pull the eggs.

But Han Jian's attitude is very clear, obviously not joking, he said it to let the following implement instead of discussing.

Han Jian has established enough prestige in the military and political system in the past two years, and now there are no generals in Luoyang who can compete with Han Jian, at this time, some old ministers and veterans would rather go to Han Song's family to complain than openly oppose Han Jian, and those generals of the imperial court faction who have a clear opposition to Han Jian have not been invited by Han Jian this time, and they can't find the way to raise objections.

But when Han Jian finished conveying the news, it was not long after the meeting was dismissed, and before Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion, the palace was already in a hurry to send someone to pass it on and let Han Jian enter the palace. At this time, Han Songshi also personally greeted the door, needless to say, he also asked about the dispatch of troops to Guanzhong.

"Jian'er, don't rush into the palace, let's make it clear first." When Han Songshi saw Han Jian, his attitude was obviously very bad, "It's only been two days since it stopped, and the soldiers and horses in the north haven't withdrawn yet, why do you want to attack Guanzhong?" Are you crazy or do you think that the Dongwang Mansion is now a soldier and has a lot of food, and it has reached the point where you can take care of several parties at the same time?"

"What does Yi Erniang mean?" Han Jian didn't enter the mansion gate, because the people from the palace were still waiting outside, and he was going to enter the palace at any time to tell Yang Rui about it.

Han Song's family was originally a little angry, because Han Jian hadn't discussed it with her before, but now when she felt that the palace didn't get the news in advance and sent someone in a hurry, she felt a little better, at least it showed that Han Jian didn't discuss everything with Yang Rui, and he still did things his own way.

"Wait for the northern soldiers and horses to withdraw, and then think about it in the long run." Han Song's family didn't have a good airway.

Han Jian sighed and said: "Then Erniang just wait, now that the northern border is in charge, can you still count on the Northern Palace?" The border pass has now been completely destroyed by the Xianbei people, but it can only be taken over by my East Wangfu to be responsible for repairing and guarding the border. [,! Enough, how can there be any remaining dispatch back to capture Guanzhong?"

"Then what do you rely on to attack Guanzhong......" Han Song's voice was a little higher, but thinking that it was at the gate of the mansion, and speaking loudly would be heard by those people from the palace, he also lowered his voice and said, "You are not preparing to transfer troops from Jiangdu?" It will take at least two or three months to reorganize the troops, plus the attack on Guanzhong, even if it is smooth, it will take more than half a year, and at that time, whether it is the people of the Southern Dynasty or the Xianbei people, you will ignore Luoyang and Jiang?"

Han Jian squinted slightly and said, "Who said that you want to capture Guanzhong. Do you have to withdraw troops from the north or transfer troops from Jiangdu? Could it be that there are no other soldiers and horses in the imperial court?"

Han Song was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Where did you transfer the soldiers and horses from?"

Han Jian said: "Advanced Palace Face Saint, I'll talk about it when I come back. Erniang put her heart back in her stomach first, since she has made this decision, there must be a proper way to deal with it."

Han Songshi frowned, and now it was obvious that Han Jian was hanging on to her appetite and refused to speak. But now it is not appropriate to question him in person in a place outside the palace, but he glared at Han Jian and saw him go to the palace with the people from the palace.

After entering the palace, Han Jian went directly to Ye'an Pavilion, it was as convenient as following up his own home in the palace, but when he arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Rui was just sitting there in civilian clothes, and the clothes on his body were very loose, which was obviously also prepared for pregnant women, which was different from her usual days when she came to Ye'an Pavilion in a brocade dress.

There was no one else. When Yang Rui saw Han Jianlai, he dismissed the palace maid and eunuch as usual. As soon as the person left, Yang Rui immediately got up and said, "Can't you save snacks?" Ben was still busy with the New Year's affairs, why did he suddenly say anything about attacking Guanzhong, because he felt that there was too much food for the soldiers? Or do you want to let the wind go out and fight?"

Han Jian smiled, Yang Rui thought that things were much more rigorous than Han Song's, Yang Rui immediately considered letting go of the smoke, while Han Song's was still struggling with the question of where to send troops.

"It's time to fight. If it's after the beginning of spring. Guanzhong did not go down, and the Xianbei people invaded southward. I'm afraid Luoyang won't be able to protect it then." Han Jiandao.

"If you want to capture Guanzhong in the spring, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity, right?" Yang Rui frowned, "It's full of calculations, it's only two or three months at most, and the war in the Northern Palace's Mansion has not completely calmed down, so you want to go so fast. Aren't you afraid that the people of the West Palace, but take the initiative to send troops out to bite you?"

"That's for the best." Han Jian smiled and said.

Yang Rui frowned again, now thinking about it, although Luoyang has a false surname, but at the moment it seems that it is better for the West Mansion to attack than for the East Mansion to take the initiative to send troops to attack. This is mainly due to the shape of Luoyang's surroundings.

The soldiers and horses of the Nanwangfu did not continue to go north for a long time, but they stationed troops at a place three or four hundred miles away from Luoyang. So far, there are also 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses hoarded, and the defenders of the entire Luoyang army are only 20,000 or 30,000 horses. If the Western Wangfu sends troops to attack Luoyang, it will first form a situation of competition with the Southern Wangfu, which is a good thing for Luoyang to defend the city. After all, now nominally, the Nanwang Mansion is a vassal of the imperial court, and Yang Luochuan, the king of the South, is still under almost house arrest in Luoyang City.

"I don't play dumb riddles with you, what do you think, now you have to sue me, don't let me, the emperor, look back and see the courtiers and be asked, I still don't know, at that time, I really became a puppet in the eyes of others, and it seems that I can't do anything else except to be able to inherit the lineage of your Dongwang Mansion."

Yang Rui was a little angry, she blamed Han Jian for wanting to make a play, and he didn't even discuss such a big matter as attacking Guanzhong. said "again", because Han Jian has always been like this, although she has been used to it, but after all, now that her relationship with Han Jian has been made public, if she is asked, she is still the last to know, even she herself feels that her status in Han Jian's eyes is not high, and even such a big thing has to bypass her, and she is not the nominal lord of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Let's put it this way, it's really going to be beaten, not just a joke." Han Jiandao.

"You really want to fight, where does the soldiers, horses, food and grass come from?" Yang Ruijie asked.

"Luoyang sent 10,000 troops, which is enough." Han Jian said with confidence on his face.

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Yang Rui was simply angry, Han Jian is now conclusive about going to capture Guanzhong, there are only two or three months from preparation to completion, and he only said 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the mobilization is still the Luoyang defenders, regardless of the changes that the mobilization of the Luoyang defenders will bring to the current situation in Luoyang, just say that these 10,000 soldiers and horses go to Guanzhong, I am afraid it is not enough to stuff the teeth of the army of Xiwangfu.

"Don't believe it, Rui'er, I have enough confidence to say this. If not, I am willing to accept your punishment." Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Ruibai and Han Jian glanced at him and said, "Who wants to punish you?" And say, Where does your confidence come from? In recent years, the West Wangfu has also been vigorously fighting troops, and the West Wangfu alone has sent soldiers and horses to the counties of Kanto, no less than 40,000 or 50,000, and this is only the Guandong, and the defenders in the Guan, I am afraid there are no less than 200,000. In the past two years, the north has been turbulent, but the Xiwangfu has been the least affected, that is, the previous battle of Luoyang, and finally it was also unable to hold on to the Xiwangfu, and finally the Xiwangfu withdrew its troops, not to mention the losses, and also occupied a large number of counties, and the local money and grain were looted by it."

Han Jian nodded, in fact, what Yang Rui said was a very superficial thing, but anyone who has an understanding of the current situation knows it. Some internal things, Yang Rui knew very well in his heart, but there was no need to say it at this time, in terms of strength on paper, the East Wangfu had already fallen behind, not to mention that the East Wangfu would suffer even more if it had to respond to the battle in a hurry.

"Then Rui'er, let me ask you, what is the Xiwang Mansion most afraid of now?" Han Jian asked.

"Afraid? Guanzhong raises troops and accumulates sharpness, what are you afraid of? Yang Pingju, the old horseman, has long been disagreeing with the imperial court in the past few years, and you haven't seen it before. In the end, his West Palace's Mansion is not the North Palace, even if it is the North Palace, through .[,! After several defeats, in the end, if it wasn't for the Xianbei people to give it a ride, I am afraid it would not be easy to take it, and the Xiwang Mansion is in danger, and there are several years of waiting for work, which is even more difficult to capture." Yang Rui's words were also very direct, even with a little unpoliteness and impatience.

Han Jian said with a smile: "What the Xiwang Mansion is most afraid of is that in the end, he will become a lone army, being attacked by the imperial court and the Xianbei people on both sides, and there will be people in rebellion, which will eventually make the land of Guanzhong chaotic without a fight, but it will take advantage of others."

Yang Rui thought for a while and said, "You mean, Xianbei people will also covet the land of the West Palace?"

Han Jian said: "Before the Xianbei people marched south, I thought about sending troops to Guanzhong, that is, to take advantage of the uncertainty of the Xiwang Mansion on the way of the Xianbei people to the south, and make a surprise attack. But in the end, the Xianbei people still gave up the distance to seek the near, but they gave up the easy and difficult to enter from the North Pass, and finally trampled the north full of devastation. If I were the leader of the Xianbei Khan, I would never go south from Beiguan, because of the huge losses, in the end it would only be a plunder and not be able to occupy the Central Plains. At that time, the imperial court and the Northern Wangfu were separated from the Yellow River, and it was obvious that they could not send troops to help, and with the strength of the Xianbei people, it was only a matter of time before they went south to Guanzhong."

Yang Rui said: "But now you want to capture Guanzhong, not Xianbei people, can Xianbei people listen to you, just say that you will fight together?" Even if they listen to you, when the time comes, whose will it be?" (To be continued!)
