At this time, Xiao Zhan has a proud stubbornness, she knows that she is in the enemy camp, and she also knows that she is not worried about the day, what she has to do is to maintain the dignity of the king of the Southern Dynasty, and will not show any weakness in front of the people of the Northern Dynasty for her own life, and will not even give Han Jian any good look.

Even if Han Jian asked her to change her into exquisite food later, she didn't even look at it. This made the atmosphere of the banquet very embarrassing, and it was not until the end of the banquet that Xiao Zhan asked sharply: "I wonder if the king of the east has transported the grain and grass of the soldiers with me out of the city?" ”

Han Jian smiled: "Didn't the eldest princess see it when she entered the city? ”

When Xiao Zhan entered the city, she did see that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty had transported dozens of truckloads of grain out of the city, but then her mind was not here at all, and she was carried by Han Jian and drove in Luan, which made her so chaotic that she didn't even know whether Han Jian would fulfill his promise later. Han Jian added: "Don't worry, princess, I am a person who keeps my word, and the promised grain and grass will definitely be delivered, but the excess ...... I can't help it. ”

When Xiao Zhan was holding her, he once said that as long as she cooperated obediently, then Han Jian would continue to transport twice as much grain and grass as she went. At present, even if Han Jian transports all the grain and grass outside the city to Hangzhou City, it can only support the military and civilians in Hangzhou City for ten days and half a month, which is not good for a long time. Although Sima Yi was also raising grain and grass, after all, the main grain-producing areas of the Fujian and Zhejiang generations were occupied by the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasties, and it was somewhat difficult to transfer grain from the already barren central Fujian region to feed tens of thousands of troops.

Xiao Zhan said: "The food sent by the East King is inevitably too little. ”

Han Jian spread his hands with a smile and said: "The first thing I need to take care of is my own soldiers, even if I crusade against the Zhu thief with the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, and the two countries have friendly relations, I still have to distinguish the priorities first." ”

Xiao Zhan was a little angry, she felt that Han Jian was "untrustworthy" first, but she thought about it carefully. Han Jian said that he would give this batch of grain and grass only if she asked her to cooperate, but he did not say to what extent or when. She was sent to Suzhou City as a proton, and she did get the food she wanted, which does not mean that Han Jian will continue to send food to Hangzhou City. Even if Han Jian wanted to use Sima's soldiers and horses to contain Su Tingxia's troops, he couldn't use his own grain and grass to fatten the enemy army. This is a very obvious truth, Han Jian is just hanging her appetite now, and at the same time, it is also hanging Sima Yi's appetite, but it will make the soldiers and civilians of Hangzhou slack off, and when the soldiers and civilians of Hangzhou have to rely on Suzhou City to send food, it will basically not be far from destruction.

After that, Xiao Zhan didn't ask about the military rations again, and the whole banquet broke up a little unhappily.

However, the generals and ministers of the Northern Dynasty came to the banquet, mainly for a good meal. By the way, he brought some feelings with Han Jian to enhance the relationship between the monarchs and ministers, and he didn't have too many ideas. As for Xiao Zhan's side, he didn't want to attend such a public occasion. After the banquet, Xiao Zhan was about to go back to the Taishou Mansion to settle down, Han Jian personally sent a female official to escort him, and at the same time, the car was prepared according to the standard of the princess, which was equivalent to Han Jian not recognizing the fact that Xiao Zhan was the emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

When Xiao Zhan succeeded to the throne, it was Han Jian who personally sent her back to Jinling City. At that time, she still thought that Han Jian was a "decent gentleman", but now she can see it. But whoever holds power will not have true benevolence and righteousness, and she can't force Han Jian to abide by any gentleman's agreement. She has now become a caged bird, and what she can do is to try to get more food for the soldiers and civilians in Hangzhou, and she must hurry up to do it. Because once Han Jian sat in Suzhou's troops and horses, cooperated with Yangzhou and Lin Zhan's troops in the south of Zhennan, and captured Jinling City on three sides, Han Jian no longer needed Sima to borrow to contain Su Tingxia's troops, and then Han Jian would wave his troops south to attack Hangzhou.

On the other hand. How much food Han Jian gives to Hangzhou City now basically means that Han Jian will arrive at Hangzhou City in a few days.

Xiao Zhan estimated that with the current strength of the Northern Dynasty's troops, it would still be very difficult to take Jinling City within two months, so she still had a certain amount of time to maneuver.

But the day after she arrived in Suzhou City, she got an astonishing news that Lin Zhan personally led 200,000 soldiers and horses to send troops from the south of the town to Jinling. When the news came out, she felt incredible.

"It can't be!" Xiao Zhan was a little angry at the envoy who came to report the report, "Where did you know about such rumors? Lin Zhan led the army into Shuzhong, with a total of only 30,000 or 40,000 horses, how could he suddenly have 200,000 troops? What's more, after Su Tingxia led his troops south, Lin Zhan still had to send troops to stay in Shuzhong, Chudi and Jiangjiang, even if he had soldiers and horses, he couldn't come out. ”

The envoy who came to report was just a little eunuch sent by Sima Yi. He set off two days after Xiao Zhan's departure, that is to say, the news of Lin Zhan's dispatch of troops was already three days ago, and with the speed of Lin Zhan's troops, it should be within four or five days of arriving within a hundred miles of Jinling City.

The little eunuch said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the news is true. Originally...... The National Teacher once wrote a letter in his own hand, but he was detained by the Northern Dynasties, and the villain couldn't bring it to His Majesty. ”

Xiao Zhan said angrily: "The Northern Dynasty withheld Mr. Sima's letter? ”

"Exactly." The little eunuch said, "The national teacher had long expected that the villain might come to see His Majesty or be unhappy, and sewed the letter into his clothes, but it was still seized by the Northern Dynasties, but they didn't embarrass the villain, and let the villain come over truthfully to tell His Majesty." ”

Xiao Zhan was very angry, since it was Sima Yi who also felt that Lin Zhan had brought 200,000 soldiers and horses, it might be true. But she still couldn't believe it.

From what she knew before, and what Sima borrowed from her, in the end, Han Jianhe's soldiers and horses besieging Jinling City should be about 1230,000, which is a number made up by the soldiers and horses of the three routes, and many of them are non-combative people. With such a force, it will take about two months to take Jinling City, but the premise is that Zhu Tongjing's internal generals cannot have a fatal rebellion.

And now, it suddenly came out that it was Lin Zhan who waved 200,000 troops into Jinling, and if you add the soldiers and horses arranged by Han Jian in Suzhou City and Yangzhou City, plus the still mysterious sailors of the Northern Dynasty, the total strength of the Northern Dynasty may be close to 300,000. Based on the fact that Zhu Tongjing's garrison in Jinling City is only 30,000 or 40,000, even if the city is not broken, Zhu Tongjing's subordinates will rebel, and someone will kill Zhu Tongjing to ask for credit from Han Jian, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty.

"When you go back, you will say to Mr. Sima, I am fine. He doesn't have to worry about things here. When Xiao Zhan said this, she was a little helpless, she had just been rude by Han Jian, and now she said that it was okay. That's self-deception. Han Jian walked in front of the soldiers in front of the army with her in his arms, just to let the world know that Sima Yi was in Hangzhou City, and it was only three or four days away from Suzhou City, how could Sima Yu not know afterwards?

When the little eunuch left, Xiao Zhan still looked angry. She wanted to reason with Han Jian why she had to withhold the letter that Sima Yi had written to her. She explained the situation to the female officer first, but the female officer didn't want to pass the word for her at all, the female officer didn't even reach the rank of a guard, and these female officials were just to take care of the two female relatives around Han Jian, and now Han Jian dispatched one or two people to take care of her, which was already very face-saving, and at the same time, Han Jian also arranged for them to monitor Xiao Zhan, how could these female officials dare to leave their posts without permission?

"Someone! I want to see the East King in person! ”

Xiao Zhan was furious. went directly to the outside of the Taishou Mansion, but was stopped by the guards. Xiao Zhan was so flamboyant that he couldn't even help the guards, and before Han Jian strictly ordered them not to disturb the rest of the empress of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Zhan's former daughter's body, which of them dared to approach?

The guards had no choice but to go to Han Jian.

At this time, Han Jian was discussing in detail with the generals of the army the plan to attack Jinling City, when someone suddenly came in to report. As soon as he said the matter, Han Jian shook his head helplessly. The generals and strategists present also had a bit of smugness on their faces. The empress of the Southern Dynasty has only been here for a day, and she seems to be a little unable to sit still, and the more anxious the empress of the Southern Dynasty becomes, the more proud it is for the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty.

Han Jian said: "The eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty, you can't be lazy, please come over." Just wait in my study. ”

The guards then took the order and left, and Han Jian continued to stay to discuss the matter of the military aircraft, and after waiting for more than an hour, Han Jian dissolved the meeting. He didn't rush to the study to see Xiao Zhan, when he detained Sima's letter. It was expected that Xiao Zhan would be angry.

As a prisoner, even if Xiao Zhan is conscious, she has to show her dignity, and if Han Jian does anything that is detrimental to her dignity, she will fight for it, which is what Han Jian can predict. Han Jian withheld Sima Yi's letter, but instead allowed the little eunuch to go in to pass the word, which was actually considered to be a face-saving thing for Xiao Zhan, Han Jian didn't even ask what the little eunuch had said when he went in, but from the secret letter written by Sima Yi to Xiao Zhan, Sima Yi wanted to tell Xiao Zhan that Lin Zhan had sent 200,000 soldiers and horses to march into Jinling from the west road of Jinling City.

In other words, Sima Yi wanted Han Jian to believe that he had believed that Lin Zhan had brought 200,000 soldiers and horses.

This may be a kind of intrigue between the two sides, how many thousands of soldiers and horses does Lin Zhan have, even Han Jian's calculation is not very accurate, because from Lin Zhan to lead the troops to take Shuzhong, and then wave the troops to the east, there are countless soldiers and horses collected along the way, if even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals are counted, there will be more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, but more than half of these soldiers and horses cannot be used as a battlefield to charge and kill the enemy. Lin Zhan's real elite is only the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses he originally brought, and this road of soldiers and horses is equipped with the people and grain transporters used in the siege, and it is only sixty or seventy thousand.

Sima Yi sewed the letter in the clothes of the little eunuch and hid it very deeply, but Sima Yi knew that this letter could not escape the search of the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, and the letter he wrote to Xiao Zhan was equivalent to that of Han Jian, which was also a small strategy used by Sima Yi. In the letter, some words are true, some words are false, true and false are in it, the main thing is that he is to paralyze Han Jian.

Han Jian didn't believe that Sima Jian would obediently contain Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses, because Sima Qi's ambition was not to wait for Han Jian to conquer Jinling City, and then wait for destruction. Han Jian had a hunch that after Sima Yi got the grain and grass, the first thing he did was to prepare how to send troops north, and put himself in his shoes, if he was Sima Yu, he would also lead the troops north in this situation and would not sit still. For example, if Han Jian sent troops from Suzhou City to attack Jinling City, Sima Yi might come to the back road of Suzhou City.

What Su Tingxia wants to do is the king of the south, and after the Northern Dynasty pacifies the world, Su Tingxia will not fight Sima Yi head-on, Su Tingxia's goal is mainly Lingnan, which Sima Yi can also understand.

Han Jian thought quietly for a while in the main hall before leaving for the study, and at this time, Xiao Zhan was already waiting in the study a little impatiently.

"King Dong, you are such a big shelf, I have been waiting here for a long time, and you are here?" Xiao Zhan stood in front of the desk, but because Song Zhi'er was guarding the desk, she couldn't come forward. In fact, there was a lot of secret information on the desk, all of which Han Jian obtained on weekdays, and she was able to go to such a confidential place, so she naturally wanted to know what kind of information Han Jian got in his hand.

Han Jian waved his hand and motioned for Song Zhi'er to step down. Song Zhi'er pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, looking at Xiao Zhan with hateful eyes, and finally she withdrew from the study, Han Jian personally went over to close the door, and only Han Jian and Xiao Zhan were left in the entire study.

"Eldest princess, aren't you so impatient?" Han Jian suddenly said something for no reason.

Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Brother Sima wrote a letter in the name of you, but he also knew that this letter would fall into my hands, how could this letter be completely true? If you want to see it, just take it and see it. ”

Han Jian took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, Xiao Zhan was about to take it, but Han Jian suddenly pulled it back.

Xiao Zhan glared, as if he was blaming Han Jian. Han Jian said: "The eldest princess just took the letter like this, which seems to be a little rude. ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" Xiao Zhan said angrily.

Han Jian said with a smile: "If I want to hand over a letter to the courtiers, naturally I have to find someone to rehand it and present it, and you must also accept it respectfully...... Forget it, red tape is saved, you take it and look at it. ”

Han Jian threw the letter over directly.

Xiao Zhan got the letter, opened it immediately, and read the contents of it, but it was exactly the same as what the little eunuch said. Sima said that he wanted to prepare to continue to reorganize the army in Hangzhou City, and at the same time prepare to send troops to attack Jinling City, and also to complete the "King Qin" before the Northern Dynasty made any moves against Jinling City, and at the same time showed that Lin Zhan had led 200,000 soldiers and horses from the south of the town to Jinling to advance.

"You should recognize Sima's words, don't say that I am looking for someone to imitate it." Han Jian turned around and said, "I'm not that interested yet. ”

Xiao Zhan stood behind Han Jian, Han Jian seemed to be defenseless at this time, if she had a sword in her hand, she even wanted to rush up and kill Han Jian. Because she was thinking about the assassination of Han Jian, her aura was also a little disordered, and even if Han Jian had his back to Xiao Zhan, he could almost understand her mentality.

What a good opportunity this is, if Xiao Zhan can really kill him, even if he dies afterwards, it will cause chaos in the Northern Dynasty, and as soon as Han Jian dies, the old forces of Yang Rui and Yang Xi and the Wei Dynasty will form a duel with the forces behind Han Xi, the eldest son of Jiangdu. Even if Yang Rui gave the country to Han Jian, she also had the ability to fight with the woman next to Han Jian. (To be continued.) )
