Han Jian brought the matter of personally leading the troops back to the Dongwang Mansion at the family banquet. It is rare for a family to get together, but the feeling of joy has become gloomy because of Han Jian's words. Everyone didn't speak, but Han Jian could see that they cared about him, whether it was his aunts or the women around him.

Han Song said: "Suddenly talking about such things, can't you wait until after dinner?" ”

Han Jian reluctantly smiled and said, "When the family is together, we will talk about it." I will lead the troops on this expedition, and I will not bring female dependents with me, if I can return triumphantly, it will be thirty or fifty days as soon as possible, and it may take half a year to slow down. ”

As soon as the words came out, Gu Xin'er, who had been silent, shed tears. Among so many women on Han Jian's side, no one has ever climbed Han Jian back alone with her, and she has been guarding it for more than half a year. After having it once, she cherished the time when she was reunited with Han Jian even more, but now suddenly Han Jian was going to part again and said that he would not bring his female dependents, and he clearly wanted him to endure the pain of lovesickness.

After all, Wen'er had the same heart as Gu Xin'er, and when she saw that Gu Xin'er was unhappy, she immediately went to help wipe her tears. Gu Xin'er also couldn't hold back for a while, and immediately accepted the grievances in her heart, and looked at the person who looked at her with a smile.

Han Songshi was silent, but Han Xu's was a little resentful and said: "The good ones are going to go out again, it's a big deal to withdraw the troops from the west, Guanzhong won't fight for the time being, do you have to finish the battle at one time?" ”

Before she could finish speaking, someone around her pulled her sleeve, and Han Xu was still a little dissatisfied: "What, can't you say it?" How come Jian'er is also what we watched grow up, and now that she is leaving, which of us who are aunts are willing to ask ourselves? ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "What Liuniang said is that she shouldn't have been in such a hurry. But something...... It's not something I can control. There's some chaos in the west, and I have to go there myself. ”

Han Song's clan knew clearly about the turmoil in Su Tingxia's army, and she didn't tell the women in the mansion about these things. The women in the house are only regarded as sending troops to Guanzhong, even if there are some troubles on the front line, Han Cui and Han Zhao can solve it.

"Jian'er, since you are leaving, Erniang will not persuade you much. However, the current situation in Luoyang is not very good, can you think of leaving anyone to stay in Luoyang? If Luoyang does not have a general who can take charge of the town, if there are no more people plotting against Luoyang. You're in the west, and you're afraid you're out of the reach of the whip. Han Song said.

Han Jian said: "I have my own arrangements for these. ”

Han Song still had some opinions in her heart, in fact, she knew very well that Han Jian couldn't arrange anyone now, what she hoped to get was Han Jian's permission, so that she could restrain the scope of Yang Rui's power. That's the crux of her question. What she is worried about is not the people outside Luoyang, but the people inside Luoyang. Now Han Jian just said casually, she didn't know what the arrangement was, but she knew that Han Jian had discussed it with Yang Rui when he entered the palace. Now nominally Yang Rui is married to Han Jian, but he is still very high, and he has not even come to Dongwangfu for a family banquet. There was little communication between the women in the house and Yang Rui. If there are still women with some connections, except for Yang Li'er, there is only Fa Yi, since Yang Rui and Han Jian got married, Han Song has never set foot in the palace again.

After the family banquet, Han Jian was about to enter the inner courtyard, originally Han Song wanted to leave Han Jian to discuss some things, but Han Jian was also refused on the grounds of accompanying Gu Xin'er and other daughters.

Han Jian only had two days before he set out on the expedition, and he must not be able to take care of every woman around him in every way. He can only do his best to make the women around him not have too much resentment.

When Han Jian came out of Gu Xin'er in the middle of the night, he saw that the candle was still lit in the front yard. When he arrived in the main hall, he saw that Han Song's clan was still crying with the battle report sent by Han Zhao's and Han Cui's front line.

"Erniang." Han Jian called out and sat on the chair next to Han Song.

Han Songshi glanced at Han Jian, snorted coldly, but sobbed and said, "There are only Xin'er and them in my heart, but you still want to have this Erniang?" ”

Han Jian smiled: "Erniang, are you eating Xin'er's vinegar?" ”

Han Song glared at Han Jian angrily. seems to blame Han Jian for making fun of her. However, thinking that Han Jian was about to lead the troops to the battle, she still had a lot of worries in her heart. originally thought that he would be able to settle down when he arrived in Luoyang, but after a series of wars, Luoyang never stopped. Finally, now it seems that the problems in the north have been solved, but the problem of Guanzhong is still unresolved. Now that there is another political incident in the Southern Dynasties, a series of problems behind all require Han Jian, the backbone, but it was at this time that Han Jian chose to lead the troops out of the pass. There is not much chance of winning this battle itself.

"Don't Erniang still believe in my ability? I will lead the troops this time, it must be to destroy the withering and decay to defeat the pass, how about giving Erniang a birthday gift when the time comes? Han Jian said with a smile.

Han Songshi sighed: "Don't treat me as Xin'er's girls to coax, Erniang is not worried about your ability, but you must know that General Su's men and horses are not easy to control now, if you go to the army, there is a military mutiny on the front line, and you will bear the brunt of it." I'm also worried that this is in itself a matter of General Su's trouble, deliberately leading you out of Luoyang, everyone knows that you are guarding Luoyang, no one can get in this impregnable wall, only you, the coiled dragon, will have a chance. ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "Erniang thinks too highly of me, I am not a coiling dragon, at most a fierce tiger, the tiger will have power when it goes down the mountain, and it is just a harmless insect to humans and animals if it stays in the nest." ”

Seeing that Han Jian was able to joke like this, Han Songshi did not reduce his worries in his heart, but became more worried. In the past twenty years, she has wholeheartedly played the role of Han Jian's mother, she knows that Han Jian thinks of her, if she can't maintain the stability of the entire Dongwang Mansion, then no one can come out to preside over the overall situation. But now that Han Jian has become an adult, he has increasingly neglected her role as the housewife of the East Prince's Mansion, and Han Jian is now more and more able to do well without her help. That's where she was lost.

"Erniang, don't worry, this time I said that if I can triumph, I will definitely return triumphantly. To attack Guanzhong, there is not only a frontal way, perhaps...... Guanzhong is not so impregnable! ”

Han Jian said, his mind had drifted to the military camp in the west. In the past two years, he has studied the topographic map of Xiwangfu in detail, and has already sent people to investigate some of the traffic arteries inside and outside Guanzhong, and some officials in Guanzhong have already sent people to buy them, plus he asked Mrs. Luo and Li Yun to assassinate some dangerous politicians in Xiwangfu, and they are also preparing for the complete takedown of the hard bone of Xiwangfu. Now that the time has come, it is time for him to reap the fruits with his own hands.

……

……

The king of the east personally led his troops into battle. It is also a big deal for the generals of the Eastern Wangfu system and the imperial court system. There are many things that need to be arranged, including which soldiers Han Jian personally brings, and who will be responsible for completing the garrison in the future.

Han Jian's arrangement for this is very simple, just as usual. With the previous incident of Yuzhou soldiers and horses attacking the inner city of Luoyang and returning home, now the morale of the Luoyang defenders is also very strong, and the reward in the army is almost a bloody use. As long as the soldiers of the defending army have meritorious service, they have basically been rewarded, first of all, land and money and grain, which are what the soldiers most hope for to obtain for their military exploits.

On the contrary, in terms of political affairs, Han Jian has a lot of things to explain to Gu Weipan and others. When he was not in Luoyang, Yang Rui had to raise a baby and wait for the birth of the child, and no one in the imperial court was in charge of the overall situation, so Gu Weipan needed to be responsible for the affairs. Originally, Yang Rui asked Gu Weipan to be fully responsible for opening the imperial examination, but now it is basically all good, and Han Jian can only hand over the matter of the imperial examination to the people below to be responsible for this time. He wants to concentrate on managing the government.

There is a little advantage that the military grain and grass of logistics basically do not need to worry about Pan Lao, and with Lin Xiaoshu, the big housekeeper of the Dongwang Mansion, personally sitting in Luoyang, the dispatch of grain, grass and materials will be relatively coordinated. The summer grain will be harvested, and Han Jian also sent some mainly responsible officials to the local government to supervise the payment of grain in order to prevent the problem of deducting grain and grass in the rear, so as to ensure the dispatch of money and grain for the army of the Western Expedition this season.

As soon as the arrangements were made, it was already afternoon, and Han Jian came down from the military meeting of the military station's yamen. was going to enter the palace to make a final confession to Yang Rui, but there was still some time. But he wanted to accompany Ning Xiuyan and Yang Xiuxiu, as well as Ning Shun'er, who had just been by his side not long ago.

When she arrived at Ning Xiuyan's place, Ning Xiuyan was embroidering alone, and she was alone in the room with her eyes closed and didn't hear anything outside, so she wouldn't know that Han Jian was about to go on an expedition. As for Han Jian's personal expedition, the imperial court will also keep it secret in a short period of time. Because the impact of the departure of the East King is too great, it is easy for some people to take advantage of it.

"The master will personally lead the troops?" Ning Xiuyan's brows furrowed when she heard this, and her nervousness was overflowing, as if she was as worried and worried as the women in his family.

Han Jian smiled and grabbed Ning Xiuyan's body, and said with a smile: "It's not the first time to lead troops. Why should you be so worried? ”

Ning Xiuyan said hurriedly: "The master is too, how can you lead the troops in a good manner?" The concubine was worried physically and mentally. As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I haven't been able to believe this time...... If it's the master...... Forget it, when it was a concubine, she didn't say anything. ”

Before setting out on the expedition, he couldn't say some unlucky words, and Han Jian also knew Ning Xiuyan's thoughts. Now Ning Xiuyan doesn't even have a name, if he has three longs and two shorts when he goes on the expedition, then Ning Xiuyan's life will be ruined. It's not Gu Xin'er and them, after all, they have the status of Princess Dong, and it will be a big deal to withdraw to Jiangdu in the future, and Han Xi, the son of the world, may treat Han Xi as Han Jian when he was just born, and cultivate it again.

"Won't be going long and will be back soon. Just put your heart back in your stomach. What about Shun'er? Han Jian asked.

"That girl is still taking a nap, she sleeps full during the day every day, and she always pesters her concubine at night to ask when her master will come. If the concubine knew, she wouldn't have to think about the master every day. Ning Xiuyan said with some annoyance.

Han Jian smiled, Ning Shun'er looked well-behaved and lovely on weekdays, but Han Jian, who was sticky with kung fu, knew better than anyone else. Once Xiao Nizi sticks up, it is like glue, and this is the case when he comes over on weekdays, if he is not there, he only pesters her aunt Ning Xiuyan, and Ning Xiuyan herself is also looking forward to Han Jian coming over, and she is not worried about it, and now there is a junior by her side, and she has to pretend to be old-fashioned so as not to lose face, which also makes her very embarrassed.

Han Jian didn't say much to Ning Xiu, but went over to meet Ning Shun'er and Yang Xiuxiu.

Ning Shun'er naturally followed Han Jian like a scale, and even when Han Jian went to see Yang Xiuxiu, she did not shy away from it at all. Yang Xiuxiu has now adapted to the fact that she was occupied by Han Jian, even if Han Jian brought Ning Shun'er and Ning Xiuyan over, her expression seemed very natural. Han Jian knew that Yang Rui's marriage had a great impact on her, originally she had a lot of unwillingness in her heart, mainly because Han Jian couldn't give her a name, but now she thought that Yang Rui, who was even the head of a country, only married Han Jian with her belly after four or five months of pregnancy, and her heart was balanced. Once the knot in her heart is untied, many things will fall into place, she originally had a problem with Ning Xiuyan and Ning Shun'er's aunt and nephew who lived with her, but now she is as happy as a family.

"The master is staying overnight?" Ning Xiuyan saw that Han Jian and Yang Xiuxiu were intimate, but she didn't want to disturb on the side, but asked, meaning that she was going out to prepare a meal.

"No, I'll leave after dark." Han Jian said.

Ning Xiuyan's face was immediately disappointed, she knew very well how many women there were on Han Jian's side now, and Han Jian would not hide her from them. Han Jian's decision to go on the expedition was also yesterday, and now there are so many women waiting for him to comfort, and Han Jian can't comfort them all, there must be people who have to endure lovesickness before leaving.

"Master, it's not that the concubine has to disturb your interest. The concubine's father sent a letter today, saying that someone wanted to meet the concubine, and it was still a woman. The concubine didn't dare to make up her mind casually, but now that the master is here, she can give a word, and the slave and maid will let people inform their father. Ning Xiuyan took Ning Shun'er's hand, and was about to go out, but turned around.

Han Jian said "oh", after thinking about it for a while, Ning Yuan has been a little abnormal these days, he has also sent someone to investigate why this is the case before, but the result is not very clear, it should be Ning Yuan who is calculating something behind his back. Han Jian expected that Ning Yuan might be dissatisfied with the withdrawal of the prime minister, and secretly colluded with some people, but he didn't know who it was. Now he actually wants to find someone to see Ning Xiuyan and write a letter in advance, which also shows that Ning Yuan knows the water spilled by his married daughter, even if he wants to arrange someone to see Ning Xiuyan, Ning Xiuyan will not allow it regardless of his identity, so he sent someone to inform him in advance.

"Maybe it's because of the embroidery, maybe your former good sister." Han Jian smiled and said, "It's good that you make up your mind about this kind of thing." ”

Ning Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled: "If it is really a sister, I am afraid that I will take advantage of the master's wishes." The concubine will not be seen when the master is there. ”

said so, but Han Jian knew Ning Xiuyan's temperament, and Ning Xiuyan was a woman who was willing to do anything for him. Even if Ning Shun'er is her little niece, didn't she take the initiative to welcome her in the end? This can't be said that Ning Xiuyan is unprincipled, but Ning Xiuyan knows that he has no status, and he has to rely on a way to win his favor, even if some things are done against his will.
