The next day's march was still smooth. The weather was also particularly conducive to marching, which could have traveled 80 miles a day, because the roads around Jiangdu were smooth, and with the first day of marching, they walked as much as 100 miles on the second day.

This is already very fast in the march of the infantry.

By the time the camp was set up, it was approaching dusk, and the whole army had already begun to bury fires.

Han Jian remembered in his heart, but Yang Li'er, who was "kidnapped" by the empress, was arrested by the empress for a day, Han Jian didn't know what kind of "inhuman abuse" Yang Li'er would receive, he only hoped that Yang Li'er would not be "incomplete" when he came back, and then send all his grievances on him.

Before Han Jian could pick it up in person, Yang Li'er came back first. The steps are light, and it seems that he is in a good mood.

"Li'er, I'm worried about my husband's death. Majesty didn't embarrass you, did you? When Han Jian saw Yang Li'er, he stepped forward and said with concern.

"What did Xiang Gong say? It's also very good to treat your majesty. Yang Li'er said with a smile on her face.

"Good?" Han Jian pondered for a moment, could it be that Yang Li'er was "tortured" miserably, her mind was out of balance, and she pretended to be calm in front of him?

Han Jian didn't say anything, first asked the guards to prepare dinner, as the commander-in-chief, he still had privileges in terms of catering. He didn't want to treat himself badly, after all, he was out on the march, and if he was too mean in terms of food, he would have to retreat early.

When he arrived at the camp, Han Jian hurriedly asked Yang Li'er about the Empress looking for her during the day.

“…… 陛xià didn't say anything. Why does Xianggong always think that His Majesty will harm the concubine? In fact, His Majesty treats people very well, and there are good things on the road. will have a share with the concubine, so the concubine doesn't have much appetite yet. ”

Han Jianxin said, this is to buy my wife with food. If this is for the future empress to marry into the Dongwang Mansion to do a good job of "sisterhood", it is also a good thing, I am afraid that the empress has bad intentions, and there is another purpose for Yang Li'er to go.

And the biggest purpose is not to let him "disturb", as long as Yang Li'er is by his side, he must behave in front of the empress, and some disrespectful words can't even be said.

A few days after that. Yang Li'er was called by the empress to accompany her. Han Jian had some opinions in his heart. But in the end, I held back.

Six days later, the army marched across the river capital and officially entered the ground of Yuzhou.

After entering the ground in Yuzhou, the march was much more cautious. On the one hand, it is necessary to prevent the North Wangfu and the West Wangfu from sneaking up on the soldiers and horses. On the one hand, it is necessary to deal with the actions of Yuzhou.

After all, Jiangdu sent troops over this time. It's not just for Yuzhou to solve difficulties. It also has the meaning of forcing Yang Luochuan to comply. If Yang Luochuan wants to go back to Yinjiang once, Han Jian may suffer heavy losses if he doesn't take precautions.

Therefore, Han Jian also made two preparations. If Yang Luochuan obediently obeys the best, if there is any change in the Nanwangfu, then even if he does not want to conquer Yuzhou in the end, he will also share Yuzhou, and when the time comes, he will carve up the boundaries of the Nanwangfu, which can be regarded as expanding the scope of the territory for Jiangdu.

In the first two days of entering Yuzhou, it was okay to say. After all, there was Lin Zhan's opening before, as well as Zhang Xing's follow-up cleaning, and some prefectures and counties near Jiangdu have been captured by Zhang Xing, and in terms of local administration, they are all governing the people in the name of Jiangdu.

In the face of the killing of the army of the East Wangfu, the magistrate wanted to be courteous, after all, he had just thrown himself under the big tree of Jiangdu, if he didn't say anything to the East King and the empress, after the end of the war, these anti-water magistrates would not be favored by both Jiangdu and Yuzhou, and the dismissal would be light, and if they were punished by the King of the South, they could even be killed.

Han Jian naturally ignored the dedication of the magistrate. was originally on the march, and this high-profile royal expedition was not to receive any gifts with great fanfare, but to deter Yang Luochuan and force Yang Luochuan to get acquainted.

On October 19, when the army was still two days away from Yuzhou, Yang Luochuan had already sent someone to Han Jian to send a letter, expressing his willingness to unconditionally serve the king and rebel, and even in the letter, there was no mention of recovering the counties and counties that had been captured by Jiangdu taking advantage of the chaos.

After Han Jian got the letter, it was the first time that he had a reason to summon the empress alone, and before discussing it with his generals, he directly took the letter and asked to see the empress.

And this incident was also the night of October 19.

As soon as the empress changed into her dress and was about to bathe, she learned that Han Jian was here, and Han Jian was still alone. Naturally, she wouldn't think that Han Jian was kind to An.

"Go out and tell the king of the east, it's nothing, just ask for peace, I'm very tired, so I don't need it." The Empress said coldly.

The palace maid only went out, and came back after a short time, and replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the East King said that there is an important military situation. ”

"Here we go again." The empress had already untied her clothes, so she couldn't help but tie them again, and said coldly: "Pass him in." ”

The palace maid went out at this time, and after a while, Han Jian came into the sleeping tent and waved his hand to let the palace maid wait outside first.

"King Dong, you have no rules, my place, and the palace maid is also sent by you casually?" The empress looked at Han Jian with a look of disgruntle.

Han Jian glanced at the empress's makeup, she was marching outside, and the empress had been worshipping Buddha recently, so she didn't care about the modification of her face at all, she simply tied up her hair, but she also looked a little shrewd and capable. However, because the empress was still majestic, she seemed to be high, and it seemed like a thorn that made him unable to approach.

"What misunderstanding does His Majesty have about his ministers, and does it affect military affairs?" Han Jian replied directly.

"You!" The empress glared at Han Jian and scolded sharply.

"Your Majesty has read the letter first. This was sent by the king of the south, and the messenger was still in the barracks, whether he brought someone to him, His Majesty would believe it, not that the minister wanted to see His Majesty, and deliberately said something important about the military situation? Han Jian said, taking the letter out of his arms.

The empress took the letter, and after reading it, she realized that she had misunderstood Han Jian. Thinking about it again, since the march and departure, Han Jian has also been in good order, and he didn't come to talk to her casually, which has been much better.

Probably he can tell the difference. The Empress couldn't help but think to herself.

"Did the King of the South say when he would come to the barracks?" The Empress asked, relentlessly.

"The messenger said that as long as he gets His Majesty's approval, the King of the South will personally come to ask His Majesty for his guilt, and when the time comes, he will also lead the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Palace's palace into the city." Han Jian said, "However, this time, the soldiers and horses of the East Wangfu are going to rebel on behalf of the sky, and they have no plans to enter the city. So ......"

"King Dong, don't you want to kill King Nan in the barracks?" The Empress asked in a cold voice.

Han Jian sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that King Nan is still the minister's father-in-law." If the minister has this heart, will he still bring Li'er by his side? ”

When the empress heard Han Jian call the second lady of Nanwangfu directly in front of her, she also had a strange feeling in her heart. After all, where did any courtier call the name of his daughter's family directly in front of the emperor?

"And what are you going to do?"

"The minister didn't know why, so he came to inquire about His Majesty's meaning. The king of the south is here to ask His Majesty for guilt, not to ask the minister, what decision His Majesty should make, it seems that he should not ask the minister. After Han Jian finished speaking, the empress couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

In the empress's understanding, Han Jian was not inactive, but had a plan, but was ready to fake her hand to do it. It may be that Han Jian wanted to kill the king of the south, but he didn't want to do it himself so as not to be hated by Yang Li'er, so he let her make a move, so Han Jian could innocently say that he didn't know about it.

"King Dong, why are you pretending to be confused? The letter from Nanwangfu is not for me, but for you, and you should know why. The king of the south also knows who is in charge of the current Jiangdu. You still come to ask me, this is clearly ignoring me. The Empress snapped.

"The minister dared to ask His Majesty. Even if the minister has any thoughts about His Majesty, has he ever done anything to transgress the courtesy? If the minister doesn't take His Majesty in his eyes, why bother? No matter how high His Majesty's martial arts are, I am afraid that he will not be able to prevent the people around him, and he will not be able to prevent his ministers from doing his or her feet in His Majesty's diet. When the time comes, won't the minister still be able to achieve what he wants? Han Jian replied coldly.

The Empress's face was a little gloomy.

Han Jian's meaning, although he didn't make it clear, said it almost very straightforwardly. As long as I want, I can even stun you and do whatever I want. When the time comes, if the raw rice is cooked and the rice is ripe, you will not be happy, and I will get what I want.

"Your Majesty, please also ask for instructions on how to send the envoys of the Nanwang Mansion. If His Majesty thinks it is appropriate, he will ask the envoy to pass the king of the south to the military camp and personally ask for guilt. If His Majesty feels that the king of the south is not credible, it is not difficult for the soldiers and horses to set foot in Yuzhou. 一qiē is only in a sentence of 陛xià. Han Jian did not continue to discuss with the empress about the issue of "cooked rice", but respectfully asked for instructions.

The empress's face changed slightly, and she said, "Since this is the case, then let the envoy go back to the king of the south, and let him leave for the barracks on the same day." I want to see him personally. ”

"Yes." Han Jian didn't even have any extra words, and responded directly, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, the minister will retire." ”

"You wait."

Han Jian was about to leave, but was stopped by the empress.

"What's the matter?" Han Jian still looked very respectful.

"Don't you ask, why did I let King Nan go this time?" The Empress said suddenly.

Han Jian smiled coldly and said: "At the beginning, it was His Majesty who urged Jiangdu to take advantage of the chaos to pacify Yuzhou, and His Majesty was forced by the situation, after all, at that time, if Jiangdu wanted to settle down in Jiangbei, he had to pacify Yuzhou in one fell swoop before the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu were unaware, so as to compete with the Xiwangfu and the Beiwangfu." Today, the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu have been completed, and if His Majesty insists on Jiangdu and Yuzhou to go to war, it is to ignore the general trend. His Majesty is far-sighted, how can the minister question His Majesty's decision? ”

The empress listened to Han Jian's analysis, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart.

said that he didn't question her words, Han Jian said this, not that he also thought it through clearly. The situation is like this, and it is really better to fight than to fight.

"What if I insist on going to war?" The Empress asked.

"The minister will obey as he is told. However, the minister believes that His Majesty will not, because in His Majesty's heart, after all, he wants to calm the north, not for his own selfishness. (To be continued......)
