Chapter 439: The Imperial Expedition

Han Song looked for Han Jian, she did not mention the details of the meeting with the empress, and in front of Han Jian, she also suppressed the slightly excited feelings before. After she explained that the empress was determined to regret Luoyang, it was appropriate to build that Han Jian should follow the empress's decision and let the empress return to Luoyang in person.

"Erniang is saying, let His Majesty return to Luoyang? What about the escort? How could the East Wangfu draw too many soldiers and horses at once? After all, the current war in Yuzhou has not yet ended, and the battle in Yuzhou may become more and more intense. ”

Han Jian felt that there was something strange about Han Song in front of him. Originally, he accompanied Gu Xin'er in the inner courtyard, if it was like this before, Han Song's family didn't seem to come over to disturb casually, his aunts respected his privacy very much, and since the inner courtyard was vacated for him and Gu Xin'er and other female dependents, they would no longer come over lightly.

The current Han Song clan is not only strange, but also has a somewhat "special" attitude when he speaks, what it is, Han Jian can't figure it out, but it is expected to be related to the content of Han Song's conversation with the empress.

"His Majesty is the lord of a country, and when he returns to Luoyang, after all, he can shake the dynasty. Don't you say it, there is some chaos in Luoyang now, your majesty xià go back, don't you just solve the problem? Han Song's persuasion was very earnest.

This made Han Jian embarrassed.

From the beginning, Han Jian was not ready to agree to let the empress return to Luoyang. This is obviously to send to death, Jiang Du is the weakest among the four kings, and in the past two years, he has experienced the most wars, and the army has only been mobilized on a large scale to start a war, and there have been three times before and after, but the one that first hit Yuzhou was the one. In the end, it was resolved peacefully, but it also cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

Han Jian originally thought that Luoyang would take it first, and then the North Wangfu and the West Wangfu would take the opportunity to withdraw and let the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu fight. Didn't they claim to form an alliance to swallow the Nanwang Mansion together? Now put an empty Luoyang City in front of them, and see who can still talk about principles like that.

"Erniang, do you still have to think about this matter in detail? In this way, it may be that His Majesty does not really want to go back to Luoyang, and His Majesty returns to Luoyang. We can't guarantee safety. When the time comes, the people of the world may spit on my Dongwang Mansion, and I can't guarantee the safety of His Majesty. Han Jian said helplessly.

"Jian'er, it's time. Are you still longing for your majesty? Don't you think. Regardless of whether the scourge in Jiangbei can be quelled in the future. There will always be some contradictions between you and your majesty? Seeing that Han Jian couldn't persuade him, Han Song said in a hurry.

Han Jian thought for a moment. Today's Han Song seems to be particularly sensitive to the empress's problems, and when the empress is mentioned, his feelings are a little abnormal.

"Erniang, I have considered this issue before. Since His Majesty insists on going back to Luoyang, we don't stop it, but we don't support it, what do you think? ”

Han Jian's words made Han Song's confusion.

"Then are you going to let Your Majesty go back, or are you not going to let you?" Han Songshi asked.

"If you don't send your majesty back, it's not that you don't send it, we ...... directly. On the way. ”

"On the way?" Han Songshi was completely confused, and sighed and said, "You kid, you don't speak straightforwardly, what else do you have to hide from Erniang?" Could it be that you are really like what your third mother said, you married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother? Forget who pulled you up? ”

"Erniang, don't be angry. I'll be straight, this time I'm going to let His Majesty 'drive the expedition'. Han Jian said in a earnest tone.

"The Imperial Driver? Don't you be confused, athletes? At this time, isn't it child's play? When His Majesty leaves Jiangdu, he will be escorted by a large number of people and horses from the Dongwang Mansion, and you don't care about the safety of Jiangdu? ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "It's not the royal driver's personal expedition to Luoyang, it's the expedition to Yuzhou." This is also to show the people of the world that His Majesty wants to settle Yuzhou first and then enter Luoyang, so that my old man will be forced to a dead end. I've consulted with her about this, and she doesn't have a big deal. Wait for the southern palace to surrender, and then the two armies will go north together and officially send troops to Luoyang. ”

"That'...... You're ready to ...... in Luoyang Fight to the death? Han Song asked a little nervously.

"That's not going to be, Erniang, do you think, now Luoyang's hot potato, you regret it when you hold it in your hand, who will endure the heat and continue to hold it in your hand without throwing it away? When the time is right, we will abandon Luoyang and let His Majesty's class return to the dynasty, and when the time comes, we will also take Yuzhou, and His Majesty's wish over there will also be fulfilled, and the people of the world cannot say that we support the army and respect ourselves, ignoring the rise and fall of the Wei Dynasty. We just won't be able to calm it down. Han Jian spread his hands.

Han Songshi listened to Han Jian's meaning, and she originally thought it was good, so that she could send a lot of soldiers and horses to Yuzhou, and at the same time, she could force Yang Luochuan to surrender while retreating from Xiwangfu first. Then the two soldiers and horses of the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu went north together, and under the momentum, in the end it was just a bluff and lost Luoyang City, so that the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu went to rob, and the East Wangfu enjoyed the profits. It's really a good strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone.

But Han Song thought about it again, what was the purpose of her coming to talk to Han Jian today?

Her original purpose was to let the empress go back to Luoyang and let the empress "fend for herself", but now it is good, if this imperial expedition has any effect, the empress's prestige will be reinstated, and maybe Han Jian will even give up the power of the East Palace. Isn't this the ambition of others to destroy their own prestige?

"Jian'er, do you want to think about it again?" Han Song said bitterly.

"Erniang, this matter will be agreed on first. I went to a meeting with the people of the East Wangfu in the afternoon, and then presented the matter to His Majesty's side, I believe that His Majesty Xià will not say anything, she went to Luoyang alone, and there is no help in the shape of the shì, it is better to come like I said, a little bit, first take Yuzhou and then plan Luoyang. ”

"Then you also have to accompany His Majesty Xià to drive the expedition?" Han Songshi suddenly became nervous, she thought that Han Jian was leaving Jiangdu, and she felt as if she had something to lose.

"This is natural, when the time comes, you will have to help take care of the affairs of Jiangdu. Hey. In terms of military and politics, Erniang doesn't have to worry too much, I will take care of it, including my old father-in-law's Nanwang Mansion. Han Jian said with a smile.

"Jian'er, you ...... Forget it, it's useless to tell you kid. However, Erniang wants to remind you that sooner or later you have to guard against His Majesty's side, and between you and His Majesty, it is not simply a relationship between monarchs and ministers, you ...... Alas! Do not say. ”

Han Jian already knew that the empress considered herself to be his aunt, and Han Song was also very clear about this. It's just that there are some things that I don't want to be named at.

……

……

In the afternoon, Han Jian held a brief meeting to discuss the matter of the empress's personal conquest. Han Jian didn't discuss with the empress first, he was ready to have a "cut first and then play", not giving the empress a chance to refuse.

"Since you don't have any opinions, this matter will be decided first." Han Jian said with a righteous look.

Because Han Jian said the matter of the imperial driver's personal conquest as instructed by the empress, and Han Jian expressed his support, it was inconvenient for the people below to mention anything if they wanted to. Previously, the Dongwang Mansion was able to reverse the situation and survive under the attack of the Luoyang Army and the Northern Wang Army, Han Jian's strategy played a great role, and this time Han Jian put forward some "crazy" combat strategies after all, and many people felt convinced.

In Han Jian's view, this is the importance of Liwei. As long as he stands up for his prestige, whatever he says afterwards, the people below will obey and not doubt it.

Han Jian didn't say much, after all, the war in Luoyang and Yuzhou was very urgent, and since he decided to take the imperial expedition in person, he had to make preparations quickly and not delay. When the time comes, he will also be absent from Jiangdu for a long time, and this time it is a march to fight, he will bring Yang Li'er, who was born in the military, with him, so he can't take Gu Xin'er and Wen'er, so he will stay at Gu Xin'er's place more these days.

Han Jian walked out of the gate of the imperial court and was about to walk towards the empress, when Lin Ke hurriedly chased back, panting and said, "His Royal Highness the East King, stay here." ”

"Lin Shangshu, is there something wrong?" Han Jian looked at Lin Ke, a little unlucky.

After all, Han Jian originally wanted Lin Ke to go to Luoyang to "preside over the overall situation", but Lin Ke was afraid that there would be any danger in going to Luoyang, so he pushed it off.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East, I heard that you are going to drive the expedition, no, it is His Majesty who wants to drive the expedition, and the King of the East wants to accompany you, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Lin Ke asked a little anxiously.

"Indeed, what? Lin Shangshu has an opinion? ”

"Where is there an opinion, this matter ...... Never. Lin Ke said with a look of what you don't know about the coming disaster.

"Why can't it, Lin Shangshu made it clear." Han Jian squinted his eyes and said.

Lin Ke said earnestly: "This is an unclear matter, the north is in chaos, if the East Wangfu sends troops, first go to fight Yuzhou, and then unite the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou to go north, then Jiangdu and Yuzhou will fall into emptiness at the same time, at that time...... How could the Southern Dynasties sit idly by and watch the great opportunity, Jiangdu and Yuzhou...... How can it be preserved? At that time, it will no longer be a dispute within our Wei Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty will come...... Possible...... Probably ......"

"Not so much." Han Jian said, "This king will consider this matter in detail, since Lin Shangshu doesn't care about military and political affairs, Lin Shangshu shouldn't ask too much about these things." ”

Lin Ke sighed, the military and political affairs were not in his charge. When Han Jian said this, it seemed that he was saying that he was kind enough to treat him as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the helplessness in his heart can be imagined.

Han Jian didn't talk nonsense to Lin Ke, and went directly to the palace to talk to the empress about the imperial conquest.

For the actions of the Qi people, Han Jian observed more carefully than Lin Ke, and now the Qi Dynasty is divided into three major factions, Xie Rumo, Zhu Tongjing and the queen of the candlestick each lead a faction, among which Xie Rumo is behind the support of Xiao Tong, the king of Linjiang, and the queen mother is backed by Xiao Ling, the king of Hui. These three parties are at loggerheads, and it is not easy to send troops, because they are also worried about infighting.

Even if it is to send troops, Han Jian is also ready in advance, this time to send troops to Luoyang, it is just a show, in fact, the ultimate goal is to come back and "throw" Luoyang, if the Qi Dynasty sends troops, it will "help" him. In this way, he will have an excuse to withdraw his troops and shut up the world.

"The soldiers and horses of the Qi Dynasty, I still have to come!" Han Jian muttered to himself. (To be continued......)
