Yi Die herself was most worried that Han Jian would violate her, but when the matter came, she hoped to end this pain as soon as possible. But in the end, when nothing happened, she was a little dazed.

After Han Jian finished drinking the tea, he seemed to have some sense of excitement and walked out of the door, but Da Xiliu was still waiting not far from the door. Seeing Han Jian come out neatly dressed, Da Xiliu was also slightly surprised, originally she thought that she would need to wait here for a long time, or even need to spend the night.

"What do you command?" Onishi Ryu saw Han Jian and stepped forward and saluted.

"Go in and tell the envoy that whatever she does for His Majesty, she doesn't have to show it to the king, and you must not ask. Besides, she will come back every day from now on, and you will supervise these things. ”

Da Xiliu didn't understand very well when he heard it, Han Jian seemed to be angry, and said in his heart, could it be because Yi Die was too stubborn that Han Jian was disgusted? But as far as she knew, although Yi Die was very resistant before, she didn't make any drastic moves now, and even she didn't understand why Han Jian suddenly stopped when the matter was about to end.

As soon as Han Jian left, he didn't ask about Yi Die, and he didn't even ask about this courtyard for a long time. After that, although Da Xiliu had doubts in his heart, Han Jian didn't mention her and deliberately didn't mention it, in her opinion, Yi Die is a member of the imperial court faction, and it is not appropriate for Han ♀ Jian to occupy it, but it is better to let Han Jian forget about Yi Die.

Five days later, on the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, Beichuan City in the north had been completely pacified, and the reception of all the cities had been completed. Lin Zhan, as the first hero to conquer Beichuan City, will temporarily lead his troops to garrison the north, but the focus of the defense in the north is not Beichuan City, but some cities on the front line of Beiguan that have been destroyed by the Xianbei people.

On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, Yang Xi accompanied Yang Rui for the first time as the crown prince to listen to the court. The officials who had been lifted from the grounding before entered the palace to report to Yang Ruijuan. Han Jian was supposed to participate, but he didn't enter the palace because of some military affairs. In fact, Han Jian also deliberately did not disturb Yang Rui and Yang Xi to get along with the monarch and ministers, so as not to make people think that he was not at ease about anything, even if the courtiers entered the palace to face the saint, he had to supervise on the side.

In military affairs, the main thing is to send troops to Guanzhong. The main matter of the imperial court's political affairs was to settle the Bohai people who migrated from the north to the south.

This is already the second batch of nationals from the Bohai State who have moved inward. Unlike the last time, which were basically old and weak women and children, the second group of personnel was more than the last time, and there were more than 100,000 people in the early stage, among which there were not a few strong men. Moreover, this batch will not be allocated to the vicinity of Luoyang, but will directly fill the barren territory in the north due to the war, and will be mainly used to store grain.

As soon as the military meeting presided over by Han Jian ended, the first batch of envoys sent by Su Tingxia to report the war report of the Bohai State also arrived outside the yamen of the military station. Han Jian still attaches great importance to this, but in order to keep it secret, Han Jian even told some important generals in the army about this matter.

The first batch of envoys sent by Su Tingxia was more than a dozen people. It is to cross Jiaodong by boat from Liaodong, and then go to Luoyang by land, after more than a month of travel. These people themselves are avoiding people's eyes, maybe Su Tingxia also sensed that Han Jian didn't want to publicize the battle report of Bohai.

After meeting the military envoys, Han Jian directly found several generals in charge of the Gyeonggi garrison and arranged the main daily defense, and then had a secret meeting with Lin Xiaoshu, who was in charge of military supplies and grass, for more than an hour. After that, Han Jian entered the palace to face the saint, and at this time, the court meeting in the Ye'an Pavilion had ended. The officials scattered out, and they were quite afraid to see Han Jian. didn't even dare to come over to say hello, obviously afraid of being held accountable, on the one hand, he was embarrassed by Han Jian, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would be regarded as a person in the court.

Han Jian arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Xi hadn't returned to his East Palace yet, and he was being taught something by Yang Rui. Maybe it was because Yang Xi didn't have the demeanor of a prince when he met the courtiers before. Although Yang Rui would not teach Yang Xi in front of the courtiers to suppress his prestige, she couldn't help it as soon as the people left.

Seeing Han Jian, Yang Rui naturally suppressed his voice, but glanced at Han Jian and said, "Why did you come?" ”

"Would you like me to enter the palace?" Han Jian asked-for-tat.

Yang Rui's temper is not very good at this time, she is the Ninety-Five Zun, and no one has ever dared to disobey her. Now after she is pregnant, her temper is even worse because of her disagreement with Han Jian on some issues.

Han Jian saw that Yang Rui was sulking there and didn't speak, and Yang Xi stood aside stupidly and didn't know how to say a word, so he broke the silence and said: "I have already made a decision on the matter of sending troops to Guanzhong, and I am here to discuss this matter with you." ”

"This is going to send troops? Are you in a hurry? Yang Rui was surprised.

"It's late to change, now the news has spread, the Xiwangfu has been prepared, if you don't strike while the iron is hot, wait until the Xiwangfu turns around and goes to Luoyang, with the current Luoyang's defense, it won't last long."

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Since you also know that Luoyang's defense is a problem, how can you talk about attacking Guanzhong?" ”

Han Jian retorted: "If you are Yang Pingju, the king of the West, and now that the north of the imperial court has been decided, and you see that the next step is to enter the army pass, will you sit back and wait to be killed?" ”

Yang Rui frowned slightly, she could quickly understand what Han Jian said, before she couldn't understand where Han Jian's confidence came from, and he dared to send troops to attack Guanzhong when the war in the north was undecided, now that he thinks about it, Han Jian did this, isn't it just to deter the West Palace, and not to make the West Palace, take the initiative to send troops?

Han Jian said: "Yang Pingju has been in charge of Guanzhong for a long time, and he has long coveted Luoyang, originally the imperial court sent troops north is the best time for him to capture Luoyang, and now that the north has been set, he also knows that time is running out, and he will inevitably fight hard." If the imperial court completely stabilizes the north, and all the soldiers and horses are dispatched back, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Guanzhong is defeated. ”

"The Soldiers and Horses ......"

"Even if there are no soldiers and horses, this battle must be fought, and it must be resolved quickly, otherwise it will only be the Xianbei barbarians who will benefit."

Han Jian took out a detailed plan for sending troops from his arms and handed it to Yang Rui, Yang Rui immediately stood up after reading it, but glanced at Yang Xi again, and said, "Are you asking Xi'er to personally lead the troops out of Guanzhong?" ”

"Exactly." Han Jian nodded and said, "This is the best way for the prince to stand up." ”

"......"

Yang Rui was quite hesitant, originally let Yang Xi lead the troops to win the battle and establish his authority, which was the best way to make Yang Xi's crown prince sit firmly, which could not only increase Yang Xi's prestige, but also make Yang Xi hold military power, which was very beneficial to the stability of the court faction in the future.

But you can know your own situation. Yang Rui knew very well that there were only twenty or thirty thousand guards and horses in Luoyang now, and none of them were elite generals, and the real elite soldiers of Dongwangfu were either not transferred out after returning to Jiangjiang, or they went with Lin Zhan to fight the Xianbei people Pingbeichuan City. Even if Han Jian transferred all the 20,000 or 30,000 defenders in Luoyang to Yang Xi to lead the troops, it would be impossible for Yang Xi to take these soldiers and horses to do anything in the Battle of Guanzhong.

"Are you crazy? I disagree! Yang Rui sternly refused.

Han Jian smiled coldly and said, "Do you want to watch the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong pour out of the nest, and Luoyang will not be protected day and night?" ”

Yang Rui gritted his teeth. But he also knew that Han Jian was not alarmist. Now there are two ways, either take the initiative to attack Guanzhong, or wait for the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to come out to capture Luoyang. These two roads are not what she wants to see now, as an emperor, she is naturally aware of the current situation, the north has been mired in strife in recent years, if it continues like this, the national strength will be sluggish, even if the internal troubles are calm. It can't stop the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people and the covetousness of the Southern Dynasties. At that time, the Wei Dynasty was bound to be exhausted in the civil war.

"It's better to ask the prince." Han Jian looked at Yang Xi, "Does the prince agree to lead the troops to the battle?" ”

"Me?"

Yang Xi was speechless when asked, even if he was the cheerful and upward Yang Xi, in the face of this kind of problem that needs to be decided, he will only listen to the opinions of others, in his mind, Yang Rui and Han Jian are two characters he believes in. Now it is clear that Han Jian and Yang Rui have different opinions, and he needs to choose one to obey. He can only be a wall-riding faction, and he can't even speak.

"Xi'er looks like this now. Why bother him? If you want to lead the troops, you bring them yourself, you can't let Xi'er go this time! Yang Rui insisted.

Han Jian didn't relent: "If the prince doesn't go, then there is only one way to go to the royal car." Since they all know that Luoyang is empty, instead of defending Luoyang, it is better to go out with all the soldiers and horses. It also saves both, on the one hand, to defend Luoyang, and on the other hand, to capture Guanzhong. ”

Yang Rui said angrily: "Let me go, I won't go either!" ”

Han Jian sighed, no matter how he said it now, he was no longer the prince of the East King who obeyed people's words. Is it so difficult to discuss things with Yang Rui?

"The dispatch of soldiers and horses, the Chinese army is 50,000, plus the grain and grass and baggage dispatched before and after, I am still quite sure of the battle in Guanzhong." Han Jian said, "Moreover, Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses are about to be transferred back from the Bohai Sea, and these soldiers and horses will be used as surprise soldiers to attack Guanzhong, which will also catch the Xiwang Mansion off guard." ”

Yang Rui closed her eyes, and she turned a deaf ear to what Han Jian said.

"Whether you listen or not, there is no doubt that the prince will lead the troops this time." Han Jian said in a stiff tone, "The crown prince will be the supreme commander of the troops this time, and the prince will be solely responsible for the dispatch of troops and horses." ”

Yang Xi said with a bitter face: "Brother Han...... I'm afraid I can't do it well. ”

"The prince just lead the troops and someone will help you. The battle in Guanzhong is also to prove yourself to the world. Han Jian said.

Yang Rui was angry when she heard these words, but she also knew that the decision made by Han Jian was irreparable.

Yang Rui opened his eyes and glared at Han Jian and said, "You let Xi'er lead the troops, then ask you, what should Luoyang Defense do?" ”

Han Jian said: "Jiangdu has already transferred two batches of soldiers and horses to Luoyang, the first batch of soldiers and horses is less than two hundred miles away from Luoyang, it is my Jiuniang to lead the troops, although the number of men and horses is not much, but it is more than enough to defend Luoyang." ”

"It's your aunts again!" Yang Rui felt a little angry when she heard this, Han Jian's aunts were all sent by her, but now it seems that these women have become her enemies.

"The second batch of soldiers and horses have also been transferred from Jiangdu, and this batch of soldiers and horses is mainly to prevent Yuzhou soldiers and horses from taking the opportunity to mistreat Luoyang. However, now that the King of Nan is in our hands, even the Marquis of Zhennan has bad intentions and does not dare to act rashly. Han Jian said, "As for Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses all the way, they have also begun to call back. ”

Yang Rui said in a cold tone: "That's not enough for 50,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "With the local group training around Luoyang, it's almost enough." ”

Yang Rui almost wanted to smash the table, it was already a problem to garrison Luoyang and Gyeonggi with a garrison, but now he actually had to use local regimental training to attack Guanzhong, which was tantamount to a fool's dream. With only 50,000 soldiers and horses who have not undergone actual combat training, even if the commander is properly dispatched, he will not be able to shake the Guanzhong, which has nearly 200,000 soldiers who have been in battle for a long time. Obviously, she believes that even if she doesn't say that Han Jian knows, now Han Jian doesn't personally lead the troops, but lets Yang Xi lead the troops to attack Guanzhong, and she said in her heart that she wants Yang Xi to send her troops to death and give Lin Zhan time to transfer troops back to Luoyang to defend Luoyang?

"Xi'er, now say if you want to go, if you insist on not going, my sister dares to say, no one can force you!" Yang Rui glared at Yang Xi and said.

"I ......" asked Yang Xi again, and there was nothing to say.

Yang Rui said angrily: "You just say you don't go, it's a big deal that my sister will go for you!" Isn't it just a royal expedition? It's not unexperienced! ”

Yang Xi was greatly moved when he heard this, and was about to say something, but Han Jian interjected: "Listen to the meaning of Your Majesty, is Your Majesty ready to charge ahead and take the lead?" ”

Yang Xi originally agreed not to go, but when he heard this, he felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.

"Sister, I'll go. Can't I go? Yang Xi almost cried and said the words.

"You stupid boy, what are you talking about, you don't go to my sister!" Yang Rui couldn't help but stomp his feet angrily.

Han Jian watched coldly like an outsider: "The prince leading the troops to the expedition and establishing prestige is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Majesty should not have stopped it. This battle can only be won and not defeated, if it is successful, then the north will be determined. If defeated, Luoyang will not be guaranteed. No one is safe. But Rui'er, you can rest assured, if the prince's expedition is blocked, no one will sit idly by, and the prince doesn't have to be too hasty when he enters the army. ”

Yang Rui couldn't say anything, but he acquiesced.

Han Jian left, and did not let Yang Xi continue to stay to accept Yang Rui's "teachings".

Coming out with Han Jian, Yang Xi said with a wry smile: "Brother Han, I'm ...... I lead the troops...... I don't have much experience, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will lose and bury the foundation of the Wei Dynasty, then I'm afraid I will be a sinner. I...... I don't want to be ashamed of my ancestors, can I not do it? ”

"Can you skip eating?" Han Jian asked angrily.

Yang Xi shook his head first, then nodded and said, "If I really be a sinner, then I would rather starve to death without eating." ”

Han Jian patted Yang Xi's shoulder and said, "Do you believe me?" ”

Yang Xi was stunned, but he also nodded honestly, in his opinion, Han Jian was still a very credible person.

"Since you believe me, you know that I am doing this qiē for your own good. Like your sister, I won't hurt you, but I just help you in a different way. Don't worry, there will be no accidents when you go out this time, you just have to follow the army, and as for other things, someone will be in charge! (To be continued......)
