In the early morning of October 30, Han Jian was still waiting in the big tent of the Chinese army for news from the front line. Yang Li'er accompanied him, and in the second half of the night, Yang Li'er had fallen asleep in his arms because of her poor health.

At the end of the fifth watch, Han Jian prepared to wait in the camp with Yang Li'er first. At this time, it was Lin Ke and several civil officials who were out asking to see him.

Yang Li'er was woken up by the guards who came to report, but saw that her husband was still in good spirits, and she slept for two hours.

"Let them in!" Han Jian said.

Waiting for the guards to go out, Yang Li'er rubbed her eyes and apologized to Han Jian: "The concubine has been in the battle formation for a long time, and she can't even stay up all night." ”

Han Jian smiled and helped Yang Li'er sort out her sideburns, and said, "Now you are different from before, feel at ease to be the princess of the East and stay up late...... It's going to get ugly. ”

Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian, but her heart was also warm. At this time, Lin Ke and several civilian officials had already entered the big tent of the Chinese army. Yang Li'er could only put away the opportunity to be warm with Han Jian first, and got up and stood aside.

Han Jian looked at Lin Ke who was saluting, and said, "Lin Shangshu, why don't you sleep so late?" ”

Lin Ke said helplessly: "Your Royal Highness the East King, forgive me, it's not that we want to disturb, it's ...... 陛xià...... Let me wait to ask the East King...... Why don't you send troops yet? ”

"Your Majesty is in a hurry to send troops, why don't you come in person?" Han Jian said coldly.

Lin Ke was speechless. This kind of question, even if he has doubts in his heart, dare to ask the empress head-on?

"His Royal Highness the East King, why don't you go and inquire about Your Majesty in person?" Lin Ke said tentatively.

Han Jian smiled, and couldn't help but feel a little considerate of this Lin Ke in his heart. In the past few days, the empress has complained that he did not send troops, and there is nothing she can do about him, so she can only come to embarrass Lin Ke and others. Lin Ke hadn't slept for two nights, and he was called by the empress to lecture him, and he would come over at any time to ask about the military situation.

"Go back and tell Your Majesty, just say that the external enemy is current, and the Wei Dynasty is fighting internally, so it is better not to fight. If you can get along well, it's best to be safe. ”

Lin Ke took a cool breath. This kind of talk. Han Jian went to say yes, he went to say, it was looking for scolding. The empress was polite to the king of the east, but to him. But I didn't have a good face.

"How. Lin Shangshu can't walk? Han Jian asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, yes. No, Xiaguan...... This is the way back. ”

Lin Ke had no choice but to leave with a few civil officials, judging from that footsteps. Lin Ke is indeed "unable to walk", and would rather face Han Jian here in the Chinese army's tent for a while than go back to see the empress.

When the others left, Yang Li'er sat down next to Han Jian again and said, "Why didn't Xianggong tell His Majesty that he wanted to burn down the granary of Pingcheng?" ”

Han Jian sighed: "Your Majesty probably won't want to hear it." ”

"How? She thinks that her majesty is very considerate, and she is also very good to her when she was with her majesty a few days ago. It may be that Xiang Gong thinks that His Majesty is superior, and he hasn't seriously confronted His Majesty. Yang Li'er said with a bit of innocence on her face.

Han Jian smiled, and said in his heart that his wife didn't understand the situation. He is now in a cold war with the empress, and the empress is good to Yang Li'er, but the journey is boring and wants to find someone to pass the time. And the empress is also buying Yang Li'er, probably paving the way for marrying into the East Wangfu in the future. Everyone knows that Yang Li'er is not very popular in the East Palace, and was snubbed by Han Song and others, while Gu Xin'er was favored by Han Song and others because of everyone's beauty.

"Li'er, I'll send you back first. Maybe before dawn, there will be no news. Han Jian said.

"Hmm." Yang Li'er nodded obediently and got up to leave the Chinese army's tent with Han Jian.

But at this time, the empress murderously took Lin Ke and others to the door of the Chinese army's tent, and without waiting for a report, she broke in directly.

"Majesty? The minister gave His Majesty Xià please be safe. Han Jian let go of Yang Li'er's hand and bowed.

"Ann doesn't need to be invited." The empress said angrily, "I sent Lin Shangshu to ask you about the military situation, why are you prevaricating perfunctory? ”

Han Jian glanced at Lin Ke, who was eavesdropping at the door, and said impatiently: "Your Majesty, should you be calm and listen to the minister's explanation." ”

"No, I'm going to be here, listen to what you have to say!" The empress stood in place, as if asking, "The Eastern King's army has been stationed here for two days, and in the face of the Western King's rebel army being provoked outside, you said that you want to garrison, then that's it, why don't you transfer another line of troops and horses to come over and encircle and flank the Western King's rebel army?" Or send someone to Yuzhou to contact and send troops together? Do you really have to wait until the Western King's army comes over and falls into a bitter battle? ”

Han Jian didn't answer, glanced at Yang Li'er, and said, "Madam, you go back first, and my husband will go back to see you later." ”

Yang Li'er glared, she had never seen the empress lose her temper so much, and it was to her husband. She also felt that staying here wouldn't help anything.

Just as Yang Li'er was about to leave, the empress suddenly said, "Princess Dong, you stay." I talk to the king of the east, you don't need to avoid it. ”

Han Jian said coldly: "Your Majesty, it's better to let Li'er avoid it." ”

The empress looked at Han Jian coldly, in fact, her purpose for letting Yang Li'er go, Han Jian knew very well that it was because Han Jian had a bad attitude towards her after being behind. If Yang Li'er was present, Han Jian would have to give a reasonable explanation as a courtier.

"Could it be that there is something else that the king of the east can't do?" The Empress said coldly.

When Han Jian heard the empress talk about this, he no longer cared about any face, and said: "Since Your Majesty said so, the minister might as well say it bluntly, and now it is my East King who commands the dispatch of troops and horses, not His Majesty." How to break the enemy in the East Palace, it is not His Majesty's turn to point fingers! ”

The empress didn't expect that in front of Yang Li'er, Han Jian would still be able to return to the top so unceremoniously. This kind of thing is already a big rebellion. If she was in Luoyang, when she was still in power, Han Jian said such things, she could have people drag Han Jian out and cut him down, at least he would be held accountable in prison. But when Han Jian said this now, she was just speechless in anger.

Yang Li'er listened to Han Jian's words so unkindly, and her heart sank, she still didn't want Han Jian and the empress to have any irreconcilable contradictions so far. Just as Han Jian asked Lin Ke to go back to the perfunctory words of the empress before, at the moment of external enemies, his own people are still fighting inwardly, that is, self-destruction.

The empress glared at Han Jian, Han Jian looked back at the empress, and the two of them were not far behind, and they seemed to be waiting for the other party to give in first. But at this moment, a guard hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, King Dong, the emergency military information on the front line has been delivered!" ”

Han Jian glanced at the guard, and now he was talking to the empress, if it wasn't for the urgent military situation, the guard wouldn't dare to come to see him. Only the urgent paperwork from the front line, the guards did not dare to slack off.

"Bring it!"

Han Jian took the military information document handed over by the guard, the letter was very simple, it was sent back by the fast horse after Lin Zhan burned Pingcheng. In two hours, more than a hundred miles were handed over to him.

When the empress saw Han Jian holding the battle report from the front line, she was a little suspicious. Just as he was about to inquire, Han Jian had already handed over the battle report with bad intentions.

The empress took it, and the anger on her face instantly dissolved. The importance of Pingcheng in this war, she is very clear, Han Jian is in Yuzhou, but he can send troops to burn down the Pingcheng granary silently, which is also beyond her expectations.

This will also mean that the food and grass of the Xiwang army will not be sustainable, and either the Xiwang army will withdraw its troops, or the Xiwang army can only fight with its back. As long as the Eastern King's army can stabilize its position, this battle will be won.

"Your Majesty now understands the minister's intentions?" Han Jian asked in a cold voice.

The Empress's face was a little gloomy, and she was still angry at the last moment, but at this moment, she had to think about her future.

When she was in Jiangdu, she once said that as long as Jiangbei was pacified, she would commit to marrying Han Jian. Two days ago, in order to let Han Jian send troops to fight a decisive battle earlier, she even said that as long as she could win the battle of Yuzhou, she would "fulfill Han Jian's wish". Han Jian's wish, in the final analysis, is just for her.

At this moment, it seems that the overall situation has been decided, and the Western Wang Army originally occupied the advantage of soldiers and horses and the battle situation, but now, this advantage is gone. Moreover, the Eastern King Army will win if it is firmly defended, and it seems that there is no reason for defeat.

"King Dong, you ...... Well done. It's me who misunderstood you. The Empress finally relented, "But you should not take it lightly. ”

After the empress finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, as if she wanted to escape. But it was only for a moment, and his eyes went black, and the whole person fell in the direction of Han Jian.

Han Jian grabbed the empress's waist and reached out to touch the empress's forehead, which was hot and hot, indicating that the empress was having a high fever. And the empress hadn't slept for the past two days, so she knew that the empress was also struggling to support her body in order to fight with the Western King Army.

"Majesty!" Yang Li'er stepped forward to see the situation of the empress, and at this time, Han Jian had already picked up the empress and walked outside the military tent.

Lin Ke and some officials, who were waiting outside the military tent, were shocked when they saw Han Jian come out with the sleeping empress in his arms. There seems to be only one man in the world who can be so "rude" to the empress, Han Jian.

"His Majesty is seriously ill, summon a military doctor, and go to His Majesty's sleeping tent to diagnose His Majesty." Han Jian gave Lin Ke an order.

Lin Ke reacted slightly, and then understood what was going on. The empress just now went in to ask the East King, why did she suddenly become seriously ill and unconscious? Could it be that he was knocked unconscious by what the king of the east did?

"Xiaguan...... Here it goes! Lin Ke was busy.

Han Jian hugged the empress and went straight to the empress's bed.

When the empress was placed on the bed, the empress's body was still trembling. Under the fever, it was a cold winter, and the empress's body could not support it, so it was also so poor.

Han Jian covered the empress with a quilt and sat on the edge of the bed, and Yang Li'er also came over, wanting to see if she could help.

"Xianggong, how is His Majesty's illness?" Yang Li'er was also a little surprised just now, she was all good, but as soon as the empress turned around, she was so sick?

If you don't know, you really think it's Han Jian who did something.

"Your Majesty will only get sick when you are exhausted. If you want to recover, you must take care of it. Han Jian sighed and finished speaking, but he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart. The empress was just trying to compete with him, and she didn't even care about her body, and it was also because the overall situation had been decided that the empress would collapse in an instant like a balloon that had been deflated.
