The city of Nakju was captured, and the battle between the two sides did not develop rapidly in a one-sided direction. The Luoyang Army and the Northern Wang Army temporarily rested in Luozhou, instead of immediately moving south.

Han Jian guessed that there was a problem of benefit distribution and a strategic adjustment.

After all, Luozhou was defeated by the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army, and they launched the war for the same purpose, but it was not easy to distribute the results in front of the victory. In the end, it is still a question who will take over Luoju and go further south, who will be the vanguard, who will be the backing, and who will gradually occupy the fruits of victory.

Due to its own internal problems, the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army were active in Luozhou for a period of time in early March. Although it also gave the Eastern Palaces time to continue preparing for war, it also increased the risk of a surprise attack on the Jiangdu City. Maybe the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army were just resting like acting, but they may be brewing a storm, especially after Yang Yu and Yang Ke discovered the intention of Jiangdu's strategic defense.

In any case, Jiangdu was relatively peaceful during this period of time. The people in the city did not panic much, because after all, this was an internal war in the Wei Dynasty, even if Luozhou was captured, there was no large-scale massacre in the city, and the people were killed and injured, but it was not normal, which would make ordinary people think that as long as they were in their own homes, they could make a living, no matter who he was the emperor. Nothing is about me.

The war preparation meeting in the Eastern Palace, however, is held every day, and there may be additional meetings temporarily. So much so that Han Jian felt very tired for a few days, he had been idle for seventeen years, and suddenly he had to take on a big responsibility, and he himself was a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there are people around him who can help him, as the king of the east. He doesn't have to do everything himself.

In terms of material scheduling, he has Lin Xiaoshu to help, and in the march and battle, he has the generals of the Eastern Palace, as well as cronies like Zhang Xing and Lin Zhan to help. In political affairs, Han Song's and Han Cui's can help him take care of it. Even if he can't bear it, he can discuss with Yang Li'er and ask Yang Li'er to give him advice.

There are helpers outside, and when he goes to his own resting place in the inner courtyard, there are also virtuous helpers to help him settle the rear.

Needless to say, Han Jian's aunts are also well organized in taking care of Dongwangfu. And Gu Xin'er also learns quickly. has gradually been able to be a family, know how to manage accounts and take care of the house. And even if she entered the room, Gu Xin'er had the eccentric Wen'er to give advice, which would always make Han Jian feel relaxed.

By the seventh day of the third month. The fighting in the north remains calm. Han Jian was busy for several days. I can finally take a break. I wanted to go outside. But the injury on his leg was still in danger when the spring flowers were blooming, so he stayed in the house and was safe and sound.

But at this time. There were guards outside the door, saying that there was a disturbance at the door.

"Who?" Han Jian frowned and looked at the guards, a little surprised in his heart, in such a place as the East Wangfu, someone dared to come over and make trouble. Could it be that the guards are vegetarians, and in the past, whenever someone approached the Dongwang Mansion for no reason, they would also be taken down, so why should someone disturb such a trivial matter and ask him for advice?

"Back to the young son, he said that he was a county lord, we don't know whether it is true or not. She didn't come forward, but took a lot of people to sit outside...... If you want to drive it away, you still have to come and ask the young man for advice. ”

"Just drive people away." Han Jian said, and suddenly felt a little strange hungry, "Who are the people here?" ”

"It's all women and children......" the guards were embarrassed.

Han Jian understood a little bit at this time.

These guards, let them fight the Assassins, can also come in handy. It is more than enough for them to stop some troublemakers.

But this time, the person who came, obviously came prepared, and did not make trouble, just sat at the door, and the women and children who came, these men and women did not kiss, and the other party also claimed to be the county lord, these guards would naturally be afraid, so they had to come to ask him.

"Wait until I go out and have a look."

Han Jian said, got up and went out with the guards.

When he arrived at the door, Han Jian couldn't help but be surprised, it was really a "spectacular" scene.

A group of women and children who came from nowhere sat quietly in front of the East Palace, not afraid of the cold in winter, and even some children were jumping around there, ignoring the righteous indignation of adults.

At the head of these people was a woman who sat upright and was tightly wrapped. Although the woman looked a little fat and had a round face, Han Jian could tell at a glance that it was Yang Xiuxiu, the county lord of Anping who had spoken coldly to him in the palace. After the death of the king of Anping County, the entire Anping County Palace was shouldered by Yang Xiuxiu, and in Han Jian's eyes, she was also a capable woman.

"Lord Anping, this is ...... What do you mean? Han Jian stepped forward, looked down at Yang Xiuxiu who was sitting upright and asked.

Yang Xiuxiu stood up, and when the other women and children saw this scene, they also stood up with her, all of them as if they wanted to reason with Han Jian.

"King Dong, you are finally willing to come out to meet you. You have avoided seeing you for so many days, are you busy with business, or do you disdain to ignore us widows and orphans? Yang Xiuxiu said with burning words.

Han Jian smiled lightly, this Yang Xiuxiu was still full of words. What kind of relict is she Gu Lao?

"Now that the war is urgent, the county lord of Anping should not be unaware. In this case, the king does not have time to come out to meet you. Han Jian said.

"Then you're going to ignore us? Do you have compassion to come out to see us when we sleep on the streets? Yang Xiuxiu said angrily, "If you can't properly settle us today, the king of the east today, we, the subjects who came to join His Majesty and the king of the east, will sleep on the streets." When the time comes, don't send someone to drive us away, saying that we are blocking the road! ”

Han Jian knew that Yang Xiuxiu was a difficult character to deal with, women were unreasonable and spoke loudly, which was easy for men to lose. Han Jian himself also knows that heroes don't fight with women, so they will suffer a little in terms of momentum.

"Miss Yang, as the county lord, you won't be hungry and sleep on the streets, right?" Han Jian said.

"Who says the lord can't be poor? If my Anping County Mansion can be as rich as other families, why is the little girl not married now? Dongwang, we orphans and widows, when we die, ghosts will haunt Dongwangfu and make you sleep restlessly! ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "If you say bad things, anyone will." If the county lord of Anping has nothing else to do, please go back. ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.

He thought to himself that if Yang Xiuxiu came over to ask for help, he might be merciful. But Yang Xiuxiu obviously came to the door to stir up trouble, since Yang Xiuxiu didn't give face, he naturally didn't have to give face.

Han Jian took two steps forward, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him, and knew that it was Yang Xiuxiu who was hurrying to catch up. Based on Han Jian's judgment of Yang Xiuxiu's breath, he should be extremely angry and want to come up and fight.

But after all, Han Jian was at the gate of his palace, and even if the guards next to him "saluted the women and children", they would take action when they saw that the East King would be attacked.

Without Han Jian's move, Yang Xiuxiu, who rushed forward, was already held up by two guards before he could get close to Han Jian.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xiuxiu shouted, "The county lord is the county lord of Anping who is personally sealed by His Majesty, whoever is rude to the county lord is disrespectful to His Majesty and exterminates the nine clans!" ”

"Then you just wipe out my nine clans." Han Jian turned around and said in an unkind tone.

Yang Xiuxiu was framed, knowing that with her thin body and strength, she was no match for the guards at all, so she had to give up the struggle and instead glared at Han Jian with resentful eyes, as if she was staring at the enemy who killed her father.

Yang Xiuxiu was panting like a cow, and after a while, her breath calmed down a little, and the anger in her heart seemed to be reduced a little. But without Han Jian's order, the guards still didn't dare to let go.

"King Dong, it's a little girl, please go and see how my family is doing. If the little girl is lying, her younger siblings will not die well! Yang Xiuxiu seemed to be convinced, but she still gritted her teeth when she spoke, as if her family's "bad death" was caused by Han Jian.

Han Jian looked at the women and children behind Yang Xiuxiu, pointed and asked, "Who are these?" ”

"They all came together this time, and they came to the East Wangfu to ask for an explanation."

Han Jian nodded, he had guessed that Yang Xiuxiu loved face very much, and it didn't matter if she came out alone to "be embarrassed", she shouldn't pull the family together.

"Miss Yang, where are you staying now?" Han Jian thought about it and didn't want to go, but he still asked.

"We can only stay in the guest house, and we don't even pay the rent. Do you really want to see my family being driven out of the streets? Yang Xiuxiu said angrily.

Han Jian smiled slightly bitterly, and said in his heart that the Anping County Mansion should not be so down, right?

"Miss Yang, you should receive Yulu from the imperial court every month, as well as the land, how can you be so down?" Han Jian said with a somewhat questioning expression.

Yang Xiuxiu's face turned to other places, as if she was a little self-blaming, and said: "In the past, I bought the land and rented it out, so the family doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking." Who knows...... Since last year, the imperial court has been interrupted, and a few days ago, it was only possible to maintain it by selling the land...... Now that I have come to Jiangdu, I can't take away the fields, how can I feed my family? ”

Han Jian suddenly realized that it was Yang Xiuxiu who was shrewd but was mistaken by shrewdness.

Yang Xiuxiu knows very well the way of doing business in these years, that is, if you have money, you should buy a field first, and if you have a field, you will have a qiē.

But the problem is that from the time Yang Yu began to plan the rebellion and then his accession to the throne, it completely interrupted the income of these dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, so that a family like Yang Xiuxiu who was waiting to "eat white food" had no source of livelihood. This is probably also the reason why she came to Jiangdu with her family, and felt that when she came to Jiangdu, with the protection of the empress, the Anping County Mansion could make a comeback. But he didn't expect that when his family came to Jiangdu, they couldn't even get a basic resettlement. She wanted to be strong, but at this time, she also saw that there was nothing she could do about the women and children in the family, she couldn't depreciate herself and go out to work for others to make money, so she had to gather some official family members who also had no way to live a sustainable life to come to Dongwangfu to sit and make trouble.

Thinking of this, Han Jian couldn't help but smile secretly, making you look like who owes you money, now that you are in Jiangdu, don't you want to ask for someone in a low voice?

"In that case, then ask the county lord to lead the way." Han Jian said. (To be continued......)
