By March 11, Lin Ke and his entourage had arrived at the Yuzhou Soldiers and Horses Camp, and after entering, they seemed to have disappeared. On the same day, Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses were divided into a part, and about 3,000 horsemen quickly advanced in the direction of Guanzhong, and almost at the same time, there was some change in Beichuan City, and Lin Zhan sent a cavalry team of less than 2,000 people to Luoyang all the way. These military changes are a bit confusing.

By March 12, there was still a calm situation around Luoyang City, but a piece of news quickly spread throughout Jiangbei. On the night of the ninth day of the first month of March, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Qi Fourth Road marching into Yuzhou were in the front of the Huiwang Division, and they first returned after arriving eighty miles west of Yuzhou City, but they were ambushed and surrounded by Xie Rumo, who was behind them. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in Southern Qi on this road, they are also the backbone of Xie Rumo's command, even the people of Southern Qi themselves did not expect that Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, who has always been indisputable, would turn back in front of the battle and strangle the soldiers and horses sent by Xie Rumo.

The news exploded in an instant, and the soldiers and horses of the four roads of the Southern Qi Dynasty were wiped out, and the remaining two roads were the soldiers and horses led by Zhu Tongjing and the men and horses of Xiao Tong, the king of Linjiang, who all chose to stay and watch, and at the same time to pass the news back to the south. In this way, everyone thought that the people of Southern Qi were going to take the opportunity to attack Yuzhou or even Luoyang, but in turn, they were going to engage in internal strife.

On March 13, there was another change in Jinling City, the capital of Southern Qi. Xie Rumo was annoyed and angry after learning that the soldiers and horses on the front line were besieged and killed, although he knew that it was not a good opportunity to raise troops again, but he also took advantage of the emptiness of the Jinling garrison and mobilized his cronies to take the defense of Jinling City in one fell swoop, and then capture the palace.

Unlike the last time when the palace learned the news before Xie Rumo's incident, this time Xie Rumo moved extremely quickly, and the Empress Dowager He and the little emperor who lived in the palace for a long time were missing the two henchmen Zhu Tongjing and Princess Yongdan Xiao Zhan, so that they closed their eyes and listened. Even after learning the news that Xie Rumo was going to rebel, Empress Dowager He also wishfully thought that Zhu Tongjing, Hui Wang Xiao Ling and even Linjiang Wang Xiao Tong would not sit idly by, Xie Rumo's cronies had already occupied the main city defense yamen in the city in less than two hours in the morning of that day, and then soldiers and horses entered the palace and went inside from the palace gate. Bloody battles all the way. After noon, the Imperial Forest Army of the Southern Qi Palace could only hold on, and the nine palaces of the Jinling Palace were broken by Xie Rumo and the sixth palace, and the outside world did not know the life and death of the Empress Dowager He's mother and son.

And Zhu Tongjing had left Jinling the day before, and took his people all the way into Jiangjiang and Jiangxi, and the king of Linjiang did not move, at this time the rumors from the outside world should be true, and the puppet emperor that Xie Rumo wanted to configure was Xiao Tong, the king of Linjiang, and Xiao Tong secretly helped him this time. And at this critical time. King Hui's Xiao Ling is also missing, Xie Rumo on the one hand divided his troops to attack the palace, and on the other hand, he went to kill King Hui, who fought against the water and strangled him thousands of soldiers and horses before the battle, and only when he arrived at King Hui's mansion did he know that King Hui was not there. Although Xie Rumo felt that he might have fallen into King Hui's scheme, it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so since he had already sent troops, he simply sent troops to the end, and pulled the little emperor off his horse with peace of mind, so as to support King Linjiang to ascend to the throne. This would ensure his position in the Southern Dynasty.

By the morning of March 14. The palace was still not broken, but King Hui first raised the banner of King Qin. From Fujian and Zhejiang, about 60,000 soldiers and horses of the old Hui Wang's old army were mobilized to arrive at the Jinling Palace. Xie Rumo himself did not attach much importance to the city defense, plus King Hui also had a detailed work in Xie Rumo's array, and when the army arrived outside Jinling City, Jinling was equivalent to being unfortified, and with the opening of the southwest gate of Jinling, more than 60,000 King Hui's soldiers and horses entered Jinling City. Another scuffle.

By the afternoon of March 14, Xie Rumo had sensed that the general situation had gone, and he was waiting for an opportunity to break out of the city, but was shot by Xu Rang, a general under King Hui, in front of the city gate. Some of the important generals under Xie Rumo died or surrendered, and by the evening of the same day, the city had gradually settled down. King Hui's subordinates directly occupied Jinling City.

On the morning of March 15, the siege of the Jinling Imperial Palace was completely lifted, and King Hui claimed that Empress Dowager He and the little emperor were both killed by Xie Rumo, and the outside world was rumored to be more that King Hui killed the emperor by himself and so that he could inherit the throne. But as the news of the emperor's death spread, the entire Qi Dynasty also entered the state funeral period, and the whole country mourned. Xiao Tong, the king of Linjiang, personally went to the palace to ask for guilt, but he was directly placed under house arrest by Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, and among the four major forces of the Southern Dynasties, only Zhu Tongjing's party was still fleeing west.

The first thing King Hui Xiao Ling did when he occupied Jinling was to send troops and horses to pursue Zhu Tongjing, who had fled west to the Jiangjiang region. At the same time, he sent people to Jiangbei to receive the remnants of the northern expedition to Yuzhou, and there were still three soldiers and horses stationed outside Yuzhou, the most powerful of which was also the department of Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, which made the two people a little busy, and did not know how to deal with themselves at the first time after learning that there was a change of power in Jinling City.

……

……

On March 15, Luoyang City was still calm. Although there are still two troops and horses around Luoyang, Zhennanhou and Su Tingxia, they have not launched a substantial attack on Luoyang, and the garrison of the entire Luoyang is still good.

On this day, more people knew about the political trends of the Southern Dynasties, and they came to the yamen of the military station to find out.

The gate of Luoyang City is closed, and it is difficult for news from the outside world to come in, at this time, what the minister in the city knows is only some rumors from the mouth of the military station, such as Xie Rumo, a native of the Southern Dynasty, has rebelled and entered the palace, but the latest news also has about Xiao Ling's movements, but for some more detailed news, only Han Jian can investigate clearly. But apparently, Han Jian did not want to make such military secrets of the Southern Dynasties public.

Among the people who came to the yamen of the military station to listen to the news, Yi Ningyuan's official position was the highest. He also seems to have a close relationship with Han Jian, so he came without fear, and he was also the only one in the court who saw Han Jian.

At this time, Han Jian was still sending people to deliver the news of the Southern Dynasties, because the northern intelligence system was complete, and some channels such as flying pigeons were used to transmit the news of the Southern Dynasties to Luoyang within two or three days. Because it had only happened for less than a day, even Han Jian didn't know the final result of the internal affairs struggle in Jinling City. But one thing he can be sure of is that Zhu Tongjing has withdrawn from this fight, and the specific reason is unknown.

When Ning Yuan arrived, Han Jian was almost about to enter the palace to talk to Yang Rui about this matter, but he was still not going to hide this kind of thing from the palace. After all, he and Yang Rui are about to become husband and wife, and the Ministry of Rites has already prepared the big gift in the past few days. Just wait for the wedding to take place on the second day.

Before Han Jian entered the palace, he met Ning Yuan in the living room, although Ning Yuan came alone this time, Han Jian knew that there were many ministers outside who wanted to know the news. Although Luoyang also has some meaning that it is difficult to protect itself, everyone wants to know what is going on with such a big political incident as the Southern Dynasty. This is also related to the shape of Yuzhou, and by the way, it is also related to the movement of the soldiers and horses of the Hou in Zhennan and the safety of Luoyang.

Seeing Han Jian, Ning Yuan directly expressed his intentions, and then waited for Han Jian to make some explanations with an open mind.

Han Jian looked at him and said, "Ning Shangshu doesn't think it's a bit arrogant to ask about these things?" ”

Ning Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, who doesn't want to know what happened to Chinese Southern Dynasty now?" It is reported that the Xie Party of the Southern Dynasty has occupied Jinling, but I wonder if this matter is true? ”

"Then who does Ning Shangshu want to occupy Jinling?" Han Jian asked rhetorically.

Ning Yuan thought about it, but he couldn't judge which side won from Han Jian's words, and said: "Naturally, it was the best in the past that several parties were divided. No matter who occupies Jinling, it will inevitably clear the internal troubles, and then threaten the territory of my Great Wei Dynasty, I don't know what Your Highness thinks? ”

"Then follow what Ning Shangshu thinks. This king wants to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, if Ning Shangshu wants to sit here, just sit, but this king will not return to the army today. ”

With that, Han Jian walked out. Ning originally wanted to sit down and wait, and then figure it out. Han Jian: I don't know how to send off guests? He had no choice but to go out of the military station with Han Jian, and there were several waiting ministers outside. Han Jian didn't even look at it, and then Han Jian got on the horse and left under Ning Yuanmu's eyes.

Han Jian entered the palace and went directly to the palace, because Yang Rui had completely let go of the government and was not ready to ask about the court affairs before she gave birth. But there are some major things that Han Jian has to explain to her.

When Han Jian told Yang Rui the news he had gotten, Yang Rui frowned first. With a worried face, he said: "King Hui is in power, I'm afraid it's not good for my dynasty." ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, now he just knew that in the Jinling Shape shì, Xiao Ling, who was the preemptive striker, occupied the absolute initiative, and the result of the battle in Jinling City was not known for the time being. But as Han Jian saw. Xiao Ling's move was clever, first angered Xie Rumo, and then made Xie Rumo think that everyone was targeting him, so that his hatred was transferred to the royal family, after all, King Hui has always regarded himself as supporting the Empress Dowager He and the little emperor, and among the four-way soldiers and horses entering Yuzhou in the north, King Hui's department is also equivalent to the Empress Dowager He's department. It was only after Xie Rumo raised troops that a cloud of fog was cleared, and it turned out that this qiē was just a trick for King Hui, and King Hui's fundamental purpose was to seize the throne?

"But no matter what, it's much better than Zhu Tongjing and Xie Rumo occupying the court." Han Jian said, "One of the ministers relied on by King Hui was a famous hermit in the mountains and fields of the Southern Dynasty, named Li Shanye, and the other was Sima Yu, who was a friend of my adulthood. King Hui's previous actions were not like a disguise, and his strategy was not so deep, he could see clearly the weaknesses of all parties in the Southern Dynasties, and pick a very suitable time to raise troops to serve the king, behind it must be Li Shanye or some strategists. ”

Yang Rui nodded slightly, and said: "Regarding Li Shanye's name, I have vaguely heard of it, but it is the divine dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, and hides in the city, and these people are afraid that they are also ambitious in their hearts." But I don't know how King Hui can be encircled, is it because he wants to use King Hui's hand to complete his own ambitions? ”

Han Jian didn't know much about Li Shanye, he only knew that this was a ruthless character in the Southern Dynasties, and everyone wanted to win him over, but everyone from all sides didn't want to offend. He is only a man of the mountains and wilderness, and he is not a reclusive in Jinling City, and even often attends some political banquets, but he only talks about Fengyue and does not talk about state affairs, and Li Shanye was also mentioned in the letter that Sima lent him before, basically setting a tone of "I have benefited a lot after acquaintance", and regarded Li Shanye as a mentor and friend. And Sima has changed from a frizzy teenager who wants to travel all over the world to a steady and good at analyzing the shape of the standard adviser, this Li Shanye's ability should not be underestimated. At least Han Jian had never believed that Sima could settle down with this kid before.

But to say one thing, Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses have already advanced westward, and it seems that he is not ready to enter Luoyang. Now one of his vanguard horses can join the vanguard in a day or two. ”

Han Jian listed some military situations in a notebook and handed them to Yang Rui. Yang Rui put aside and said, "Don't look at it, you have to rest early, and prepare for the big gift tomorrow." ”

Han Jian nodded, it wasn't too much of a problem whether Yang Rui could read it or not, even if Yang Rui was duplicitous now, it would be Yang Rui's own business to read the book after he left. Now seeing that the wedding will be held the next day, it is the first time for Yang Rui, and she is still the emperor, and she is married to a son, and she is married to a man with many wives and concubines around him, there are too many facts to think about, and it is not easy to talk to him calmly now.

In order to avoid suspicion, Han Jian did not stay in the palace for too long, and when he left the palace gate, it was still very calm outside. Now that there has been a political incident in the Southern Dynasty, Han Jian also knows that he must guard against the emergence of the same situation within Luoyang, but as far as he knows, there is still no such person in Luoyang City who can command the overall situation, and its Chinese official system has the strongest appeal of Ning Yuan, after all, there are many people under his hands, and it involves the civilian official system, and the military generals are basically his subordinates, and the Eastern Wangfu has a very mature rotation mechanism, and the soldiers and horses of all parties do not control each other, even if someone makes trouble, it will not involve the whole army.

But when he felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a vague uneasiness happening. Before, Yang Rui agreed to a group of families to move out of Luoyang, and then Yang Rui mentioned the matter of moving the capital, although the matter was stopped because the Hou soldiers and horses of Zhennan threatened Luoyang, but Han Jian could feel that there must be something behind it. After the court discussion, Han Jian didn't ask Yang Rui about it at all, and Yang Rui deliberately avoided saying that Han Jian couldn't help but keep an eye on it in this eventful autumn.

Riding back to the East Palace, the sky had darkened, but a group of fast horses were speeding towards the main gate of the East Palace. Originally, the transmission of messages was carried out by sabers, and the Dongwang Mansion was just an ordinary street before, and it was not allowed to ride a horse and run fast. Just when all the guards were on guard, Han Jian waved his hand to signal that there was no need to worry, and Han Jian noticed that the person who was coming was Onishiyanagi.

"Young son, the matter of the Southern Dynasty has been decided. Please check it out with the young man. As he spoke, he handed a reel of information that had just come from the south to Han Fitness. (To be continued......)
