Chapter 635: Defeat (Part II)

"What is the movement of the Xianbei people?" Yang Rui saw that Han Jian's face was a little dark, and changed the topic.

Han Jian said: "Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses have not been defeated for a long time, even if the Xianbei people will make some moves, it will be difficult to reach Luoyang within these two days." If you want to know, it's better to send someone to the north to investigate. ”

Yang Rui frowned and said, "What kind of temper did you lose when discussing the military situation with you at this time?" Can't we talk well between husband and wife? ”

"You also know that we are husband and wife?"

Han Jian glared at Yang Rui, Yang Rui was still looking at Han Jian, but after looking at each other for a while, he avoided his gaze. She also knows that she is in a bad mood now, there is something about Yang Xiuxiu during the day, and there is bad news about the defeat of the front line at night. She can't calm down now.

"What's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'll go back to the military yamen first."

Han Jian stopped and left directly. Yang Rui wanted to lose his temper, but he had nowhere to vent.

For one night, Han Jian was in the yamen of the military station. Also with him were the generals and guards of the Yamen of the Luoyang Military Station.

In the morning, Han Jian temporarily let the people who had been in the meeting all night go back to rest. Since he was not prepared to send troops to rescue Su Tingxia's subordinates, for the time being, except for discussing the front line with his generals, he would not use them to go into battle to kill the enemy.

By the morning, Lin Zhan had already sent someone back the latest information from the north. This information was not sent back by Su Tingxia, but was discovered by the intelligence system of Lin Zhan's department.

After Han Jian saw it, he felt that Su Tingxia's defeat might have an element of deception. Perhaps Su Tingxia's troops only encountered some difficulties with one or two people, and they suffered losses in the battle with the Silla and Bohai coalition forces. It did not hurt the main force of Su Tingxia's department.

After all, the Bohai people were blinded by Su Tingxia's previous onslaught, so they didn't know the appearance and number of soldiers and horses of Su Tingxia's troops at all. In order to make this scene more realistic, Su Tingxia even played the battle report to the imperial court to exaggerate the losses of the defeat, and the information intercepted by the Xianbei people on the way should also be in this regard.

"Su Tingxia's guts. It's big enough, too. ”

Back in the Dongwang Mansion, Han Jian and Fa Yi were together. In Fuzhong, it was Yang Li'er who liked to discuss military affairs with Han Jian the most. But after Yang Li'er gave birth, she was all focused on the child, and Han Jian said that she was tired of everything, or she would say such things tomorrow to prevaricate. Since then, Han Jian has been discussing these with Fa Ye more often.

Fa also came from the secret agent system under the imperial court system, although Fa was also not very familiar with human affairs. However, he still has his own opinions on the analysis of the war and war reports. Han Jian also discussed with Fa Yi through guò and wanted to look at some issues more thoroughly. Maybe in the process of speaking, some ideas will suddenly become clear, and if you think about it with one mind, you will always be unable to understand it.

Fa Yi listened to what Han Jian said, shook his head slightly, and said, "He is not afraid that after the Xianbei people learn the news, they will send troops to the Bohai Sea?" ”

"That's why he's bold enough." When Han Jian said this, he was a little puzzled. "It stands to reason that if he wants to be defeated, he should try to convince the people of Balhae and Silla. Even if you send someone to send back the news, you don't have to make such a roundabout. Or, his goal from the beginning is the Xianbei people. ”

Fa Yi was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what Han Jian meant.

Han Jian stood up and thought for a moment. Said: "Su Tingxia wants to use the transmission of news to make the Xianbei people think that he has nowhere to survive in the Bohai Sea. In this way, the Xianbei people will definitely send troops to the Bohai Sea. ”

Fa Yi was still very surprised when he heard Han Jian say this. Originally, she was very worried that the Xianbei people would go to the rescue of the Bohai Kingdom, which would cause Su Tingxia's troops to be attacked before and after. But hearing Han Jian say this, Su Tingxia seemed to be deliberately luring the Xianbei people to the Bohai Sea, which made her feel incredible.

"I finally understood why he had to march slowly and set up his defenses." For some things. Han Jian suddenly brightened.

When Su Tingxia first entered the Bohai Kingdom, he marched very quickly, and the Bohai army was full of teeth. But in this kind of situation, Su Tingxia slowed down the speed of his march, and at that time Han Jian thought that it might be because of the lack of food and materials in Su Tingxia's army. Had to slow down. However, Su Tingxia's army had been building city defenses, which surprised him.

Thinking about it now, maybe at that time, Su Tingxia felt that the Bohai Kingdom would not become an obstacle to his army. The so-called it is easy to enter the temple and difficult to get out of the temple, even if he wins the victory of the Bohai Kingdom, he still has to face the problem of returning to the court. But the Xianbei cavalry had basically withdrawn from the vicinity of Beichuan to the front line of Beiguan, as if they were waiting for him to withdraw their troops with their pockets open. Now that the Bohai people and the Silla people jointly sent troops to recover the lost territory, Su Tingxia simply planned and sent troops to deceive the defeat, which not only made the Bohai people and Silla people arrogant, but also made the Xianbei people think that there was an opportunity. When the Xianbei people sent troops eastward, it was also the time when Su Tingxia's troops fought a decisive battle with the Xianbei people.

Han Jian left the Fa Yi Office and went directly to the military station.

The purpose of his visit this time was very simple, originally he didn't plan to let Lin Zhan's subordinates get involved in the Bohai Sea, but now it seems that he must also guard against some unexpected incidents.

Regardless of whether the Xianbei people marched east to rescue the Bohai State, now the Xianbei people must have thought that Su Tingxia's army was in chaos, or that they would withdraw their troops across the North Pass and return to the Wei Dynasty in the near future. may also be waiting for Su Tingxia to withdraw his troops with his pockets open.

In this way, Han Jian can arrange a game of chess. With the line of the Great Wall as the central axis, there is Su Tingxia's department in the north and Lin Zhan's department in the south, so he simply carried out a two-sided attack on the Xianbei people. This may be a bit dangerous for the Wei Dynasty, which has not yet resolved the issue of the Northern Palace. After all, Beichuan City has not yet fallen, and there is still a possibility of a resurgence in Beiwangfu. But Han Jian felt that Xianbei people were the biggest trouble in front of him.

General Han Jian's order was issued and he went to Lin Zhan's army. With Han Jian's order, Lin Zhan would personally lead a part of his troops and horses to the direction of Beiguan and start a head-to-head battle with the Xianbei people.

Regardless of whether the battle is won or lost, the main thing is to let Su Tingxia's subordinates know that the rear is ready to respond, so that in the absence of communication, they can launch a flanking attack on the Xianbei people.

……

……

The military order is issued, and the rest is to wait for the result. Han Jian still had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, things were a bit risky, but wealth and wealth were in danger, and it seemed that there was only one way to calm the troubles in the north in one fell swoop. A quick solution is also beneficial to the East Palace.

It is not good to delay for a long time.

By the next day, there was still no new news in Bohai. However, another passer-by, escorting Yang Yu and some traitors from the imperial court, had already arrived outside Luoyang City.

What Han Jian is most afraid of is that Yang Rui is soft-hearted towards Yang Yu, but Yang Yu is indeed soft-hearted. In the morning, Han Jian sent people to transfer Yang Yu and others, and some traitors who followed Yang Yu to the north were all escorted to the prison of the Criminal Department first, but Han Jian did not embarrass Yang Yu's family. Han Jian asked Yang Yu's family to be temporarily placed under house arrest, and then Yang Yu was escorted to the palace.

Han Jian didn't go in person, he didn't want to see the situation that Yang Rui and Yang Yu faced again.

Mainly, Han Jian didn't want to put too much pressure on Yang Rui. If he went, he would be thought by Yang Rui that he couldn't tolerate Yang Yu. But as far as Yang Yu's rebellion is concerned, Yang Yu is just being used, and the current Yang Yu is like a lost dog, a little pitiful.

"The poor will have something to hate." Han Jian was still reading the battle reports on the front line, trying to detect some clues. But after letting Yang Yu escort him into the palace, he still couldn't settle down.

I didn't want to go to the palace, but at this time, he also wanted to go and see.

Originally, he also had to go to the palace every day to report the military situation to Yang Ruijuan, but at this time, Yang Yugang was escorted back to Luoyang, and it was reasonable for him to go and see.

But when he arrived at the palace gate, he saw a carriage just leaving the palace gate. Han Jian looked at the soldiers escorted around him, and knew that it was Yang Yu's carriage, and Yang Yu should have just come out of the palace and was going to be escorted directly to his family and placed under house arrest together.

Han Jianxin said, Yang Rui will finish seeing this "good brother" so soon?

When he arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian entered the door, but saw Yang Rui with his head down and sullen. Even when Han Jian entered the door, she didn't seem to have an idea, and she still lowered her head to look at something, but all she saw was a tablecloth, and there was nothing on it.

"Please give your majesty a greeting." Although there were no palace maids and eunuchs around, Han Jian still saluted and greeted, as a reminder to Yang Rui that he was coming.

Yang Rui still didn't look up, and said listlessly: "What is please?" I'm uneasy, shouldn't the concubine turn around and ask your husband for peace? ”

"What did you say?"

Han Jian sat down directly on the chair next to him, looked around, and didn't seem to see any traces of Yang Yu's coming. Maybe Yang Rui just met casually and didn't let Yang Yu stay in the palace for a long time.

"Have you seen it?" Han Jian asked.

Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said: "The person was outside for more than half an hour, and he kept kneeling, and then he was sent back." Don't want to see it. ”

"Do you not want to see it, or do you dare not see it?" Han Jian continued to ask.

Yang Rui raised his head and said with some annoyance: "You have to expose a layer of disguise on the concubine's body, do you feel good?" You also know that I was upset about his affairs, and when he wanted to usurp the throne, he didn't kill me after all. Now you let me kill my own brother, how do you say I will do it? ”

Han Jian didn't think so.

The reason why Yang Yu did not kill Yang Rui immediately was because Yang Yu was not ripe for the throne.

At that time, Yang Rui's control of the court situation was still in place, and most of the civil and military generals were interested in Yang Rui, but they did not have much loyalty to Yang Yu, who was born as the third prince. At that time, the forces behind Yang Yu were just the remnants of the Beiwang Mansion after two baptisms. Yang Yu suppressed Yang Rui with chronic poison and put Yang Rui under house arrest, also to kill her when the time was ripe and plot for the throne.

Now in Yang Rui's mouth, it is Yang Yu's good intentions. How can this make Han Jian agree?

"No one let you kill." Han Jian said, "Didn't you say it before, what you want to do with it is up to you." You don't have to worry what I think. ”

Yang Rui said angrily: "But he is kneeling outside, I think he is very damn now." I should have killed him! ”

After speaking, Yang Rui lowered his head again as if he was angry, and did not look at Han Jian. (To be continued......)
