On Chinese New Year's Eve, most of Sima Qin's soldiers and horses in Hangzhou City had already withdrawn from the city, and in two days, Hangzhou City would only stay with 3,000 soldiers and horses, waiting to receive the last batch of 200,000 stone grain transported from Jinling City, and then Hangzhou City would enter a closed state. Even if there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses left in the city of Hangzhou, it can hold out for more than three days in the siege of about 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Three days is enough for Sima Yi, what he needs is to quickly transfer troops to the south, catch Su Tingxia off guard, and finally be able to completely strangle Su Tingxia and incorporate Su Tingxia's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Only in this way can he have enough strength to compete with the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty, otherwise he will fall into the two-way attack of Su Tingxia and the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty.

"My little emperor's niece is going to hold a big wedding ceremony with the emperor of the Northern Dynasty tomorrow, Brother Sima doesn't have to be too sad, in fact, ...... The little emperor's niece has no intention of you at all, you may be able to see a little bit, uh-huh, we can actually withdraw to Fuzhou, at least we can hold on for a while, what does Brother Sima think? ”

After Xiao Zhan left, the nominal commander of King Qin's soldiers and horses was actually Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, but all the military and political power was in the hands of Sima Yu, and everyone knew that this road of soldiers and horses was organized by Sima Yi in the name of Xiao Yang, and Xiao Ling was just a puppet. Now in the army, all bloody soldiers will hate Xiao Ling for losing his territory, and Xiao Ling can only find a little sense of respect here.

But what he said was to make himself unhappy. Sima Yi was worried, and he was undoubtedly sprinkling a handful of salt on Sima Yi's already sad confession.

Sima said indifferently: "Why do you want to withdraw to Fuzhou?" If he can't win with one blow, Su Tingxia will take the opportunity to occupy the land of Fujian and Guangdong, and then ...... The Qi Dynasty will be completely destroyed. ”

Xiao Ling disagreed. The result he hopes to get is that he can surrender to the Northern Dynasty, and then be treated well, at least he can be a marquis or something, and then he will be safe for the rest of his life. But he knew it was difficult, and he had to surrender. First of all, there must be bargaining chips, he even wanted to offer to stay in Hangzhou, but after thinking about it, it was not safe, he had nothing to do with Han Jian, and now Han Jian even robbed Sima Yuan's woman, if he surrendered to the past, not only snatched his woman away, but also killed him, then it would be a whimper.

There was a cold wind outside. In fact, Hangzhou City is not too far from Jinling City, Sima Yi knew that if he attacked quickly, within a few days, the soldiers and horses could be killed under Jinling City, but now that Jinling City has changed hands, there is no practical point in sending troops to Jinling.

"Sir, there's a letter from Jinling." Just when Sima felt that he should have left the city earlier. As he set off for the south, a guard suddenly came in to deliver the news.

Sima brought the letter. When he got it, his hand was already trembling, it was a red invitation, sent from Jinling City two days ago. Two days ago, on the day when Jinling City was broken, Han Jian found someone to send an invitation to Sima Yi. Invite Sima to go to Jinling City to attend the wedding ceremony of Han Jian and Xiao Zhan.

Sima Yi sent an envoy to ask for Jinling City three days in advance, and Han Jian was not to be outdone, and on the day of the city's destruction, he sent Sima Yi an invitation to show off his might. Sima Yu pinched the invitation card, and he didn't have to open it at all. He knew what was inside, but he still opened it, and after reading it, the invitation card was already crumpled by him.

Xiao Ling went over and pulled the invitation card out of Sima Yi's hand very inappropriately, opened it and looked at it, shook his head and said, "The little emperor's niece is married, which of us can attend?" The emperor of the Northern Dynasty was a little too deceitful. ”

Sima sighed: "He has a reason to be so proud. Your Majesty lost because of me, this step, or maybe I made a mistake......"

Sima borrowed Xiao Zhan to exchange for food, and it was rumored that this was the case outside, but in fact, Xiao Zhan took the initiative to propose it, even if there was a shortage of food in Hangzhou, Sima Yi would not be willing to use the empress of the Southern Dynasty to exchange for food. But in the end, Sima Yi didn't stop Xiao Zhan too much, because he knew that it was Xiao Zhan's responsibility, and he wanted to fulfill Xiao Zhan, but it meant that he had to give up his persistence.

Now it seems that with the batch of grain that Xiao Zhan exchanged, it is basically not a problem for the military and civilians in Hangzhou City to survive the winter, and there is even a final battle between the grain and Su Tingxia, which has laid a good foundation for winning the war of King Qin. But this also made Sima Yi feel sad, he really wanted to go to Jinling City now to participate in Xiao Zhan's wedding, although he might not be able to come back from Jinling City.

Xiao Ling said: "We can't let the emperor of the Northern Dynasty do this, we can't admit this marriage." ”

The reason is that if the empress of the Southern Dynasty really marries the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, it is equivalent to giving away the territory of the Southern Dynasty as a dowry, even if others can admit it, Sima Yi as the supreme commander of the Qin Wang Army, he can't admit it. But this is actually a good way to encourage the morale of the army, mourning the soldiers will win, as a mourning in the army, even more effective than the death of the generals, the soldiers for more than a month, because of the empress for food, are gearing up, hoping to repay the empress's sacrifice through a war victory.

Sima clenched his fists and said, "It's time." ”

When did he not say it to Xiao Ling, and with Xiao Ling's political acumen, he would not understand. What Sima Yi said was the time, the time to fight with Su Tingxia.

At this time, Su Tingxia's department, because of the long journey, coupled with the unfamiliar place, the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty in the army did not understand why there was such a long-distance attack, when the main force of the Chinese army in the Northern Dynasty captured Jinling City, they had to go to the southern barbarian land to blow the cold wind and walk through the miasma-covered woods, and the army's morale was disheartened. Sima Yi knew that if he couldn't take advantage of Su Tingxia's unstable foothold to defeat him in one fell swoop, he would not have another chance in the future.

Su Tingxia will gradually stabilize the morale of the army, because what Su Tingxia wants to do is to unify the outer feudal king of the later dynasty, and to divide one side, Su Tingxia may run Lingnan for a long time in the future, and use this as a base to deal with the Central Plains Dynasty.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, when Sima left Hangzhou City on horseback, he naturally glanced in the direction of Jinling City in the north, and he knew that it would be a love that he would never let go.

"Sir, Madame gave birth, it's a boy......"

……

……

When Sima was happy to get a noble son, Han Jian was in the Qianning Hall of the Imperial Palace of Jinling City. Enjoying the glory of the emperor.

Han Jian was lying in the wide bathtub, closing his eyes and recuperating, and in front of him, there was a person who was wiping his body with a towel, Xiao Zhan, who was also immersed in water. This is Han Jian's second night in Xiao Zhan.

Although Xiao Zhan has a lot of things that he is not used to, Han Jian has to do it. It's to let her get used to it slowly. Han Jian deliberately did not come to serve as a female official, but let Xiao Zhan, who was in the bath, come in person, just to make Xiao Zhan more familiar with the duties of the concubine, as a concubine, Xiao Zhan does not have to think about things outside the inner curtain, what he has to do every day is to rest well, take care of his body, and wait for the king to come over occasionally. She can do her duty as a wife. Even the emperor will not treat her as a wife, she is just a slave, if Han Jian likes it, he can even summon her luck and let her serve anywhere, and she can't have any complaints.

Han Jian became emperor for less than two years, whether in Luoyang or Jiangdu. Even though Han Jian has a lot of women around him, he has never been so domineering. Han Jian cherishes the women around him very much. It's a pity that it was based on the fact that Yang Li'er, Gu Xin'er and other daughters reciprocated with sincerity, for Xiao Zhan, Han Jian also wanted to know how to save with warmth, but Xiao Zhan didn't appreciate it, so Han Jian was not polite, since Xiao Zhan agreed to the gambling contract. Now that Han Jian is still the victor, why should he treat himself badly?

And Xiao Zhan is experiencing a very important turning point in her life.

Yesterday was just washing Han Jian's feet, and she already felt that she couldn't accept it. She didn't let go of the affairs of men and women, since she chose to commit to Han Jian. Then some things are unavoidable, but now Han Jian asked her to help with the bathing like a female official. She was a little angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to come out, Xiao Zhan is a person who is more principled than anyone else, if she seeks death, no one can stop her, but if she promises Han Jian not to die, she will live strong even if she suffers humiliation, this is her character.

"What? Why is the movement slow? Han Jian opened his eyes slightly, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone.

Xiao Zhan put her hand back into the water, not that she didn't want to be faster, but she couldn't get up at all, the bath bucket itself was not very big, she couldn't stretch her hands and feet in it, now Han Jian was going to squeeze in, she had to do her duty as a female official to wipe Han Jian's body with a towel, and she had to shrink into the water to avoid getting cold, and as the water temperature dropped, she was embarrassed and nervous in her heart, and her body was already trembling, in this case, how could she get up quickly?

Han Jian also seemed to notice this, stretched out his hand and waved his hand slightly, and immediately a female official came over, first filled part of the water in the bath bucket with a basin, and then poured hot water. In this way, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt a burst of warmth, but there were more goosebumps on her body, because as the water level dropped just now, her whole body was clearly seen by Han Jian.

Xiao Zhan couldn't help laughing at herself, what haven't I seen by her now? Is it still necessary?

But despite comforting herself in her heart, the tears in the corners of her eyes are still swirling, and no woman, no matter how strong she is, cannot endure the humiliation in this state.

Han Jian turned a blind eye and continued to close his eyes, in addition to closing his eyes to recuperate, he was also thinking about something.

As for Sima Yu's dispatch of troops, Han Jian had already expected it. Sima thought that he was unaware, but in fact, all the movements of soldiers and horses around Hangzhou City could not escape Han Jian's eyes, and Han Jian wanted to wait for Sima Qi's soldiers and horses to go south for a while, and then take Hangzhou City in one fell swoop with the main force of the Chinese army under Lin Zhan, and then the largest city in Sima Yi's hands would fall.

Now the goal of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty is no longer the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, but the city, as long as there is a city, the world will fall into the hands of Han Jian. As for Su Tingxia, he needs to quickly adapt to the weather in the south, after all, Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses are all northerners, and he thinks about returning to his heart, it depends on how Su Tingxia adjusts the hearts of the officers and soldiers in his army.

In the upcoming head-to-head battle between Sima Yi and Su Tingxia, Han Jian was more optimistic about Su Tingxia, because whether it was in terms of war experience, or the equipment and training level of soldiers and horses, and the amount of grain and grass materials, Su Tingxia had the advantage. Su Tingxia occupies the time, place, and people, and even waits for work, waiting for Sima to take the initiative, in this case, Su Tingxia's chance of winning is seven or eight percent high, and Sima Yi only has two or three percent of the chance of winning at most. Even if Sima borrowed these two or three percent of the odds of winning, it was not a victory in one fell swoop, to win, but also tactful twists and turns, after a few battles, it would be good to be able to gradually encroach on Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses, and by that time, Han Jian had already led his troops south, cutting off Sima Qi's back road.

"It's not wise......" Han Jian suddenly said with emotion.

This made Xiao Zhan suddenly stunned, and Xiao Zhan's hand holding the towel also fell.

Han Jian reopened his eyes, just opposite Xiao Zhan's eyes. In the past, Xiao Zhan's eyes were full of domineering arrogance, but now, as soon as she came into contact with Han Jian's gaze, she would inevitably look away. Xiao Zhan first gave in mentally in front of Han Jian, but she didn't admit it.

Han Jian suddenly stood up in front of Xiao Zhan, which made Xiao Zhan also slightly startled, her gaze dodged even more, but Han Jian was still domineering.

The day before, Xiao Zhan had been taught by the female official to gradually learn all the preparations before the wedding, and as for the details of the concubine, she was also learning. She was afraid that Han Jian would get closer, because in the professors of female officials, it was a way that she could not accept.

But in the end, Han Jian just stepped out of the bathtub and asked the female officer to come over and help him wipe the water off his body.

While Xiao Zhan was relieved in his heart, he was also jealous, many things could not be avoided, and if Han Jian didn't do it now, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be left to him forever. Since Han Jian sees her as a conquered woman, and she is determined to grit her teeth and insist, then this game will continue.

After the female officer put the wide nightgown on Han Jianjian, Han Jian did not wear shoes, and stood barefoot on the heavy red carpet, looking at Xiao Zhan with sharp eyes.

Xiao Zhan's self-confidence was disappearing little by little, and she also came out of it and asked the female officer to serve her to wipe her body and change clothes. But just when the female officer was about to put the nightgown on Xiao Zhan's body, and even Xiao Zhan had already felt the warmth of the nightgown, Han Jian suddenly stepped forward and took the nightgown, and then the nightgown fell to the ground.

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhan looked at Han Jian sideways, but in the next second, her vision was no longer able to see normally. Because Han Jian had already blindfolded her with a black cloth.

"Don't you want to see me? That I will fulfill you. Han Jian's voice was still domineering.

In the next second, Xiao Zhan felt that his body was light, and the person had been picked up by Han Jianheng. (To be continued.) )
