Chapter 466: The Battle of Luoyang (3)
Accepting Wu Hui is not a big deal in Han Jian's opinion. In fact, the Xiwang army withdrew again and again, seemingly trying to drag the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu and Yuzhou to the vicinity of Luoyang, but some well-intentioned people could still detect that there was something greasy in it. Just like Wu Hui, in the eyes of some important generals in the Northern Palace, they may not feel that something is wrong, but the Northern Palace's Mansion did not respond for a while.
Wu Hui came to land, allowing Han Jian to find an opportunity to gain insight into the internal situation of the Northern Palace. Han Jian specially asked Wu Hui some questions, including the current soldiers and horses in the Beiwang Mansion and the deployment of troops, and Wu Hui answered them one by one in order to show his sincerity in surrendering. But after all, Wu Hui was only a general in the Northern King Army, and many things were not something he could understand. However, after some questioning, Han Jian also benefited a lot.
After Han Jian met Wu Hui, he temporarily arranged for him to be a general in the army, and his military position in the Northern King Army did not change. At this time, someone came to spread the word that the empress summoned some officials and generals in her sleeping tent and asked Han Jian to go over together.
Han Jian walked out of the camp tent, looked at the sky, and estimated that it was almost the second watch. These days, the empress is recuperating from illness, and in the past, when the empress was in Jiangdu, she was sick but not sick, but now she is really sick. The empress is in such a hurry to summon civil officials and military generals, Han Jian is a little unpredictable, could it be that the empress is a little "in a hurry"?
Han Jian went straight to the empress's bedchamber, and when he arrived at the door of the empress's tent, he saw Lin Ke waiting.
"His Royal Highness the East King, are you okay?" Lin Ke stepped forward and saluted, and said disrespectfully.
"Why didn't Lin Shangshu go in?" Han Jian looked at Lin Ke, these days. Lin Ke's army is said to have also suffered from wind cold, and now there is a small epidemic spreading in the Dongwang army, which is influenza to put it bluntly. Therefore, the morale of the Dongwang army was also damaged, but fortunately, the medicinal materials prepared in the Dongwang army were also sufficient, and a reasonable response was also made, so that the epidemic was brought down.
"His Majesty was speaking inside, asking about marching and fighting, these ...... Hey, Xia Guan doesn't know much. His Majesty sent the old minister out to see when the king of the east would come. Let's go in together. ”
Han Jian thought to himself. Will the empress send Lin Ke out to greet him?
Because the empress never said that this routine meeting would be held beforehand, and Han Jian went to see Wu Hui, so the matter of the empress's summons was only learned after the fact.
Han Jian had some strange feelings in his heart. and Lin Ke entered the queen's bed tent together. Just got in. I saw the crowd of black presses. All stood behind the screen, and were reprimanded by the empress through the screen.
"陛xià...... The king of the east is coming. Lin Ke entered the tent and shouted.
The Empress seemed to be talking about something. When I heard this, I also stopped.
"King Dong, come in and speak." The Queen's Road.
The civil officials and generals present did not dare to breathe, and they all felt that the empress was now angry in her heart. And Han Jian is also the only person who is qualified to walk through the screen and go inside to speak.
Han Jian was silent and walked around the screen, at this time the two palace maids were standing next to her, and the empress was sitting on the sleeping floor, dressed in formal clothes, obviously using her own sleeping tent as the Ye'an Pavilion of the Luoyang Palace, where she met with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in private.
"The minister gives His Majesty Xià please be safe." Han Jian saluted.
The empress smiled at Han Jian, nodded, and motioned for Han Jian to step forward and speak.
Because after all, the screen cannot completely block the sight of the ministers of civil and military affairs outside, especially when the screen is brighter. Han Jian didn't dare to make a mistake, but he got closer.
The empress glanced at Han Jian angrily, and then with a wave of her sleeves, several two-candlesticks on the table were extinguished, and for a while, the light inside was dim, and it was very difficult for people outside to see the situation inside through the cloak.
Han Jian was unceremoniously and sat directly next to Empress Han Jian, but after all, the room was full of people, and he didn't want to be too presumptuous, so he just sat on the side, so that even if someone accidentally knocked over the screen and saw it, he would only be treated as the empress's favor and give him a seat with him.
"King of the East, now that Luoyang is approaching, there are two rebel armies in the north, the King of the North and the King of the West, can you be prepared to deal with it?" The Empress asked, looking at it.
Han Jian thought about it, he didn't want to know how to answer, but he didn't want to stand up and answer. But seeing that the empress was looking at the direction of the screen, she didn't seem to have the intention of letting him get up and speak.
"Back to His Majesty, the Western Wang's army retreated all the way north, and our army has sent two vanguard soldiers and horses to Changning and Li County to respond. Prevent the Western King's rebel army and the Northern King's rebel army from forming a line. Han Jian said.
The empress glanced at Han Jian sideways, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned her head to the civil and military generals outside and said, "What is the current situation in Luoyang?" ”
Han Jian was definitely a little awkward in his heart, this seemed to be cheating, he was obviously sitting next to the empress, and he could reach out to hold the empress's waist. But the empress still asked him in a serious way, so she asked him to do something to make this fake cheating become a real cheating relationship.
The situation in Luoyang, Han Jian will explain it almost every day when he comes to greet the empress. Now that the empress is asking, most of them just want to use Han Jian's mouth to tell people outside.
Han Jian said: "Your Majesty, the Northern King's rebel army is still trapped in Luoyang City, because the southern city of Luoyang has been damaged in the rebellion in the past year, so that the Northern King's rebel army has entered the southern city of Luoyang. However, the Luoyang Imperial City was still heavily guarded, and the Northern King's rebel army could not get close for the time being. ”
Hearing Han Jian's words, many people outside were stunned.
In the Jiangdu military camp, in the past nearly a month, except for the Xiwang Army, which is the Xiwang Army, the high-level officials of the Jiangdu generals have avoided talking about Luoyang. Han Jian has never talked about these things in front of people.
It is precisely because the soldiers and horses are now close to Luoyang that the war sent Yuzhou to Luoyang, and the matter of Luoyang has to be put on the surface. At that moment, the military generals of Jiangdu knew that Luoyang was still under the control of Jiangdu, which means that this time the soldiers and horses came over, not alone, at least there was Luoyang as a backing. And Luoyang City is also garrisoned by the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, which can be said to be a combination of inside and outside. As long as you enter Luoyang City, that qiē is considered a great success.
"The king of the east, the king of diligence is rebellious, and the merit is in the community. Now Luoyang is the foundation of our dynasty, and whether the Wei Dynasty can be revitalized depends on the generals of Jiangdu and Yuzhou. The Empress said with a hint of flattery.
Han Jian said stupidly: "It is the duty of a minister to serve His Majesty. ”
The empress said again: "In this case, you all step back first, and I still have something to discuss with the king of the east." ”
The civil and military generals outside were pardoned, and after saluting, they withdrew from the tent. When everyone left, Han Jian was still sitting on the side, this time, it was obvious that he was used as a gun by the empress.
The empress came to him, although it seemed to be extraordinarily polite, but she also used him to let him inform the civil and military generals outside of the detailed situation. (To be continued......)
