Chapter 263: Difficulties

Before dawn broke on the second day, the party had to set off again south. Han Jian came out of the tent and found that Yang Li'er had already commanded the soldiers to set off from the camp in military uniform, and it seemed that he had not been affected by yesterday's events.

Han Jian deliberately did not approach Yang Li'er, and the group quickly packed up, and the team began to move slowly towards the southeast. After rushing yesterday, both people and animals and vehicles were a little unbearable, and the team could only continue to move forward at a steady pace, stopping for a period of rest every hour or so. Therefore, the next day, he hurried to stop and go, Han Jian calculated, walking like this for a maximum of sixty or seventy miles a day, without any urgency.

It was a sunny morning, the weather started to warm up, and the snow on the road began to melt, making the road a little muddy. Soon it was noon, because they were in a hurry and they were not going to bury the stove at noon, but only at night during the day, and during the day when someone was hungry they would eat dry food.

Taking advantage of the moment of Xiao Xiu, Han Jian got off the horse, a group of fast horses stopped, and one person got down from the horse, it was Da Xiliu who led the crowd to ambush the court's pursuers last night. Mrs. Luo's department, which is basically the old department of Xiliang, will not go south with the team this time, after the ambush last night, these people have returned to the surrounding areas of Luoyang in batches. The arrival of Daxiliu, in addition to explaining yesterday's events, also brought Han Jian the latest situation in Luoyang City.

"The court has mourned. It is said that His Majesty Xià died, and at the same time, it was against the great ceremony for the king of Yidong to leave Luoyang at the time of the state funeral......"

The news brought by Daxiliu is not true, after all, the power of the Luo Lady cannot penetrate into the court of the Wei Dynasty, but for some major events that have happened in Luoyang City, the news is very well-informed.

Han Jian didn't expect that he would be characterized as a rebel by Yang Yu so soon. The right to speak is in the hands of Yang Yu. He said whatever he wanted, and only when they returned to the Jiangdu territory could he denounce it.

"What's your godmother's plan?" Han Jian asked after listening to Onishiyanagi's report.

Onishiyanagi said: "The godmother has already asked the hand to clean up the accounts and the softness, and she will leave for the south in a few days." It is believed that King Ji's accession to the throne is also in the past few days, and there will be no abnormal situation in the capital. However, according to some unreliable sources, the king of the west has the intention of leading troops out of the pass. ”

Originally, when Han Jian returned to Jiangdu, Mrs. Luo could choose to stay, she wanted to pack up her belongings and go with her, and she wanted to show her loyalty.

Han Jian said: "Go back and tell your godmother." There are some things that don't need to be rushed. She stayed in Luoyang for the time being. ”

"Yes." Da Xiliu commanded, "The little girl will truthfully convey the meaning of the young son to the godmother when she goes back." ”

After explaining the matter, Onishiyanagi was leaving, and Han Jian asked the two guards to see him off. After all, Onishiyanagi is a strange face. I am afraid that the people of the East and South Palaces will think that she is a fine work sent by the imperial court. Onishiyanagi hadn't gone far before he left. Yang Li'er's figure appeared in front of Han Jian, and Han Jian could feel that Yang Li'er was not in a good mood at this time, but her pretty face was tight.

"Who is she?" Yang Li'er asked coldly. "Why does it look familiar?"

"The famous singer in the Western Capital, Da Nishiliu, Miss Yang has also seen her perform?" Han Jian asked.

Yang Li'er shook her head slightly and said, "What did she come to you for?" ”

Han Jian naturally wouldn't tell her that the people in the old department of Xiliang were working for him, and now he and Yang Li'er were allies, but from the position of the Eastern Palace, there were some things that should not be made public.

"Her identity is our Nanwangfu Meticulous, and she came here this time to deliver news." Han Jian said, "The imperial court is mourned. ”

"Mourning?" Yang Li'er was slightly surprised, "Yang Yu is not afraid of being exposed to the conspiracy?" said that His Majesty is in the sky, but His Majesty is now good, he doesn't even have the body of His Majesty, so why mourn? ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "Miss Yang, there are some things that should not be said nonsense. ”

Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian coldly and said, "This news is reliable? ”

"It should be reliable." Han Jian said, "In the next step, Yang Yu should send more chasing soldiers in order to completely kill people and destroy his mouth, and we have to step up our efforts in the next few days." In front of the cavalry, our marching speed was simply turtle speed, and I am afraid that we will be caught before we have gone a few hundred miles. ”

Yang Li'er frowned slightly, probably not adapting to Han Jian's way of speaking. However, she didn't pay much attention to this, and still didn't even say goodbye as before, and turned away.

On the second march, Han Jian intended to increase the speed of the team, and at the same time, in order to make up for the loss, he began to let the team buy horses along the way. Although military horses cannot be bought, ordinary horses can still be bought. In addition to purchasing necessities, Han Jian did not plan to let the team get too close to the town, believing that the local government would be informed soon after the imperial court mourned, and at the same time, the magistrate would definitely send a garrison to intercept it in order to curry favor with the new lord. At that time, there will be fierce tigers in front and hungry wolves behind, and it will be difficult to fly with wings.

Two days later, the team had left Luoyang two hundred and fifty miles, and was still about nine hundred miles away from the northeastern border of Jiangdu. Although at this speed, it should only take more than ten days to reach the land of Jiangdu, but after all, with the strain of the journey, the speed of travel is slowing down, and at the same time, the pursuers of the imperial court have already pursued again.

Even if Han Jian's empty city plan worked that day, the imperial court would find out afterwards that the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wangfu had not yet arrived under Luoyang City, and the Eastern Wangfu and the Nanwangfu were bluffing that night. The imperial court will inevitably give a death order when it sends reinforcements this time, that is, to pursue it, no matter how one qiē launches an attack, so as not to have many dreams at night.

Judging from the news obtained by Han Jian in the past two days, the imperial court has sent troops again, and as for the generals leading the troops, it is likely to be Yang Yu himself.

Han Jian couldn't guess why Yang Yu dared not to sit in Luoyang City, but personally led troops to chase after him, maybe he felt that what could stabilize his throne at the moment was to kill people first, and as for the enthronement and the so-called national funeral, they could be postponed first. And Yang Yu himself may not trust any generals, and even Sun Shaoqian, who has always had a vendetta with the East King, temporarily withdrew his troops, so he naturally would not give hope to others. He personally led the troops, and it can also be seen that he is stubborn and lacks consideration.

Although Han Jian felt that Yang Yu was not considered a big person in this matter, it was not a good thing for the miscellaneous fleeing team composed of the Eastern Wangfu and the Southern Wangfu, as well as the families and entourages of some ministers of the imperial court. Yang Yu came in person, which is equivalent to Yang Yu breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat to make a last stand, such a surging imperial army will definitely be larger than those brought by Sun Shaoqian in terms of lineup, and the marching speed and combat effectiveness will also be improved by a notch.

When the pursuers catch up again, the empty city can't make a move, and that's the real Jedi.

Therefore, after Han Jian learned that the second batch of chasing troops from the imperial court left Luoyang, he could only order to speed up again. However, by this time, the team is already exhausted, and it is good if the speed does not drop too much, and if it is necessary to speed up, there are some meanings of self-destruction without a fight.

The next day, I walked more than 40 miles, mainly because the snow on the road had melted in a large area, and I often stopped due to road conditions along the way, and even stopped for half an hour.

"It won't go on like this." Han Jian brought Yang Li'er over and expressed his meaning, "If you go on like this, you won't be able to reach Chanzhou in a month, so you have to find a way to speed up." ”

Yang Li'er squinted slightly and said, "Why did you go to Chanzhou instead of Dingcheng?" ”

Chanzhou is the northernmost state capital city of Dongwangfu, and Dingcheng is the northernmost city of Nanwangfu. These two cities are not far away, and Dingcheng will be closer to Luoyang City than Chanzhou, but it is only a few dozen miles away.

"Miss Yang, what do you mean by this?" Han Jian smiled and asked.

Yang Li'er said: "Take Your Majesty back to your Jiangdu, then you are the work of King Qin, so what is our Nanwang Mansion?" ”

Han Jian's meaning when he heard this was a little wrong, could it be that Yang Li'er wanted to rely on the many soldiers of the Southern Palace, and he wanted to rob the queen to return to Yuzhou?

"Miss Yang, I'm just discussing with you how to speed things up, not about this. Even if you want to discuss the merits of King Qin, the East Wangfu is willing to live under the South Wangfu. Han Jian said.

Yang Li'er said in a cold tone: "Then let's part ways." The pursuers don't know where His Majesty is, they will definitely divide their troops to pursue, and the soldiers and horses can be divided, but Yang Yu can't be divided into two. If you want to take Your Majesty back to Jiangdu, just take it, I believe Yang Yu thinks the same way. ”

Han Jian heard that this was full of irony, so he had to laugh and say: "Although Miss Yang's mention is good, now we mainly protect His Majesty's safety, if we divide ourselves into two, the rest of the road will be difficult to walk." ”

Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian coldly, and left directly without speaking, making Boss Han Jian bored.

After the two had a little misunderstanding in the tent, Han Jian deliberately avoided Yang Li'er in the past few days, and Yang Li'er also deliberately avoided him, and now even on business, the two seem to be incompatible. The originally good alliance relationship was completely destroyed by his own recklessness, Han Jian was a little emotional, but when he thought about the "eye blessing" that day, he also felt that this kind of thing was not bad, but it was a pity that it was Yang Li'er who suffered, so it was no wonder that Yang Li'er would treat him coldly.

Originally, Han Jian thought that the weather would get warmer again, but fortunately, a cold wind swept by, the weather suddenly colded, and the originally melted muddy road was also frozen, so the road was much easier.

Han Jian has lived again for sixteen years, and he has a deep understanding of the cold of winter here, when it comes to winter, heavy snow will close the door several times a year, and the temperature will even reach minus twenty or thirty degrees. And they are also facing the erosion of the cold at this time.

The road is easy to walk, but in exchange for the threat of severe cold weather, people and horses need to keep warm, and at this time the state capitals along the way are on guard, it is difficult to replenish clothing and food, at night, can only rely on the fire to keep warm, and the conditions for a group of people to eat and drink Lazar are not good, so that people continue to get sick in the past few days. Some people need medicinal herbs when they are sick, and they can't buy medicinal herbs along the way, so they can only try to buy some when they pass through small villages and towns, but the residents of villages and towns are afraid to avoid them when they see the officers and soldiers, and no one dares to do business at all.

Without the threat of pursuers, other factors alone have made it difficult for this team. (To be continued......)
