Chapter 285: Soldiers Descending on the City (Part I)
Han Jian held Yang Lu hostage to the gate of the Wenshang Pavilion Courtyard, at this time he had become the target of everyone, and countless guards of the Southern Wangfu besieged him in the center, but at this time, Han Jian handled it calmly, because he knew that he had no way out.
"King Dong, what is the purpose of this trip?" Nanwang Yang Luochuan's eyes twitched slightly, as if he was annoyed, but also seemed to be calm.
Han Jian said: "When I came down, I was acting as a lobbyist, but I didn't expect some accidents to happen on the way, so I had to make this decision." Please also ask the king of the south not to be surprised. ”
"Don't be surprised? Ha ha. Yang Luochuan smiled coldly, "You kidnapped the dog and told this king that you wanted to be a lobbyist?" Wishful thinking, right? ”
Han Jian sneered: "Then I'm not afraid of the fish dying and the net will be broken." ”
Han Jian pressed the sword in his hand to Yang Yu's neck, Yang Luochuan was also a little shocked at the moment, he thought that Han Jian kidnapped Yang Yu just to achieve his goal, and he would not do it lightly, but he didn't expect Han Jian's attitude to be so tough, he simply didn't leave a way back for himself.
Yang Luochuan naturally couldn't figure it out, now that Han Jian was identified, he could stay in Jiangdu, so why did he need to take risks in person? will also come to Nanwangfu in person to kidnap his son, and it is such an attitude that he will never leave a way back.
"What does Nanwang think?" Han Jian said with a look of a bamboo in his chest.
Yang Luochuan was very annoyed at the moment, what he hated most in his life was being threatened, which was related to his experience when he was a son. At that moment, he really wanted to break his face with Han Jian, and he really broke the net. But he felt that it was a bit too reckless to lose his son like this, so he also thought about it clearly, since the king of the east dared to come, it didn't hurt to listen to what he had to say.
"Please, then." Yang Luochuan said with a grim expression.
Han Jian didn't say much. continued to escort Yang Yao to the courtyard gate, and at the same time, Han Jian was also vigilantly looking at the soldiers around him to prevent these soldiers from taking the opportunity to come up and rob people.
When Han Jian arrived at the door of Wenshang Pavilion, Yang Luochuan personally pushed the door open, Han Jian took Yang Yu hostage and went in first, and then Yang Luochuan also entered the house.
"Li'er, you go out first." Yang Luochuan turned his head and said to Yang Li'er.
"But......" Yang Li'er was very embarrassed in her heart, she was afraid that Han Jian and her father would have a dispute because they disagreed, and the two parties would not end up bloody and fighting. At the same time, she was also worried about Han Jian, and she was moved by Han Jian's ability to come to Nanwangfu alone. It's just because of her own identity. Can't express his feelings for Han Jian.
Waiting for Yang Li'er to exit the door, Yang Luochuan stood at the door of the house, closed the door, and looked at Han Jian coldly.
"King of the East. Can you say that? Yang Luochuan said coldly.
Han Jian nodded slightly. His eyes fell on the bright lights in front of Wenshang Pavilion. He knew that if he couldn't move Yang Luochuan this time, then he could only fight to the death, even if he had the law, he would help. It is also difficult for him to fight his way out of the encirclement, and even if he does, he will not be able to get out of the city. This is a dead end, unless Yang Luochuan's approval can be obtained.
"Yuzhou recently, but something big has happened?" Han Jian asked first.
Yang Luochuan sneered: "The king of the east asks more, Jiangdu soldiers and horses, you can go to my Yuzhou city, but you come to talk cool?" ”
Han Jian said: "What I asked below is not the Jiangdu soldiers and horses. The king of the south should know very well that there will be a military mutiny in the land of Yuzhou at the moment, but at this time, the king of the south, you calmly sent the marquis of Zhennan, do you want to contact the king of the west, discuss Luoyang, and divide the land north of the river with the king of the west? ”
"What did you say?" When Yang Luochuan heard Han Jian's words, his expression was a little angry, and he asked.
Han Jian said calmly: "The king of the south doesn't admit it, but I'm afraid that the military mutiny within Yuzhou has exceeded the imagination of the king of the south." The king of the south wants to transfer back to the Zhennan Hou soldiers and horses at the moment, I am afraid that it will be too much, can I make a mistake in the future? ”
Yang Luochuan's expression was gloomy, because Han Jian's words hit him in the sore spot.
Originally, he also sensed that there might be a mutiny in the Yuzhou army, after all, the situation in Luoyang was chaotic, and then the empress was forced to move away from Luoyang to Jiangdu. At that time, Yang Luochuan realized that the empress would make a fuss from him in Yuzhou.
At this time, Yang Luochuan naturally would not cooperate with the tiger and wolf forces such as Yang Yu and the North King, and because of the relationship between the East Wangfu and the empress, he could not unite with the East Wangfu, in order to protect himself, Yang Luochuan could only contact the West King, who had never asked about the affairs of the Central Plains, and made conditions with the West King to conquer Luoyang and the forces of the North King and the East King together, and then the two families would equally divide the land of the Jiangbei Central Plains.
Originally, Yang Luochuan's plan was also implemented smoothly, and he also sent the Marquis of Zhennan, whom he could trust, to lead his troops to the north of Yuzhou, to build a defensive line to prevent the Northern King's forces from moving south, and on the other hand, he was ready to cooperate with the Western King's soldiers and horses to capture Luoyang. But at this time, the scale of the internal mutiny in Yuzhou exceeded Yang Luochuan's imagination, and as a last resort, Yang Luochuan used the excuse of reporting on his work in the army, and brought the generals from all over the country to Yuzhou to gather together, taking the opportunity to take back the military power, but unexpectedly, as soon as the empress arrived in Jiangdu, she sent Jiangdu soldiers and horses to Yuzhou, to take advantage of the emptiness and internal changes in Yuzhou, and seize the power of Yuzhou in one fell swoop.
At this time, the soldiers and horses transferred back to Zhennanhou would only make the northern defense line of Yuzhou empty, and it was not Yang Luochuan's character to be beaten passively. At this time, he could only temporarily close Yuzhou City, on the one hand, continue to picket the generals involved in the military mutiny, and on the other hand, prepare to resist the nearly 100,000 troops from Jiangdu.
"Dongwang's unwarranted speculation, I'm afraid it's not groundless, right?" Yang Luochuan's face subsided with anger at this time, and he said in a somewhat relaxed tone.
Han Jian originally guessed why Yang Luochuan knew that there would be a military mutiny in Yuzhou, but he transferred the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Zhennan, if Yang Luochuan wanted to show weakness, he would not be able to end up with an internal emptiness. Han Jian realized at that time that Yang Luochuan was going to take the initiative to attack, but the forces of the Southern Wangfu could not resist the other three kings and Luoyang soldiers and horses at the same time, Yang Luochuan must have an ally, and this ally, no matter how you think about it, will only be the king of the west, because Yang Luochuan will not take refuge in Yang Yu, he is not the kind of person who is willing to condescend to others.
Han Jian said: "Then the king of the south knows, this time the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu are transferred, and he doesn't know anything about the next, what does the king of the south think?" ”
"What did you say?" Yang Luochuan looked at Han Jian coldly and said, "Jiangdu soldiers and horses are dispatched, you ...... Nothing? ”
"This matter is controlled by the emperor and several princesses of the East Prince's Mansion, and they have never been in the ears of the next, and after they arrived in Yuzhou, they learned that the Jiangdu soldiers and horses were in the city of Yuzhou." Han Jian said, "If the king of the south doesn't believe it, you can ask Ling Yuan to leave the land of Jiangzuo on the same day as her and walk all the way." ”
Yang Luochuan was also a little unexpected this time, originally he couldn't understand why on the one hand, Jiangdu sent troops to seize the power of Yuzhou, but on the other hand, Han Jian, who was the lord of Jiangdu, appeared in Nanwangfu in Yuzhou. Han Jian's statement explained the doubt in his heart, that is, this matter was completely controlled by the empress and the princess of Dongwangfu County, and in this matter, Han Jian, the king of Dongwang, was completely set aside.
Han Jian's address to the empress was directly "emperor", describing the incident as "manipulation", which also shows Han Jian's anger after hearing about it afterwards.
Yang Luochuan's brows tightened, he suddenly turned around and opened the door, and shouted, "Qi'er, you come in!" ”
"Yes, Father." Yang Li'er entered the Wenshang Pavilion with a little puzzlement.
Originally, Yang Li'er was very worried about the inside of the house, and when she saw her father calling her to enter the door, she thought that something had happened, but after coming in, she found that the two sides were still in a confrontation.
"Li'er, you say, you and the king of the east...... But left Jiangzuo on the same day? Yang Luochuan looked at his daughter and asked in a cold voice.
Yang Li'er lowered her head, since she returned to Yuzhou, she didn't say a word about the things along the way, no matter how shrewd Yang Luochuan was, she never expected her daughter to come back with Dongwang. At this time, Yang Li'er was forced to ask by her father, knowing that there was nothing to hide, so she had to nod her head and give a general explanation of the situation along the way.
After listening to Yang Li'er's story, Yang Luochuan sneered, glanced at Han Jian and said, "No wonder, the East King will come all the way to my Yuzhou, it turns out that you didn't know about this matter beforehand." ”
Yang Li'er heard that her father's tone showed signs of relaxation, and immediately said peacefully: "Father, the king of the east really has no intention of being an enemy of my southern palace, and I also ask my father to be aware of it." ”
"Shut up!" Yang Luochuan shouted violently, obviously he was really angry. Even if Yang Li'er didn't say why Han Jian would come all the way with her, he could guess that there was obviously a personal relationship between the two, and at this time, Yang Li'er also protected Han Jian, which showed that his daughter was already extroverted in her heart.
Yang Luochuan said: "Even if this matter is not up to him? The one who plotted against my land of Yuzhou was not the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu? How is this different from a thief? According to my military regulations, what should the thief do? ”
Yang Li'er was speechless when she was asked, and she also knew that she was still biased towards Han Jian at this time, which was tantamount to a showdown with her father, so that her father would not trust her in the future.
Han Jian smiled and said, "King Nan's words are wrong. ”
"What did you say?" Yang Luochuan turned to look at Han Jian.
Han Jian said: "I came here this time, in fact, I am giving a big gift to the king of the south. ”
"Where does the etiquette come from?"
"Here's the gift." Han Jian said, "Now that Yuzhou is in danger, those who can make Jiangdu's soldiers and horses retreat can do it without me." ”
Yang Luochuan was silent for a moment, he was obviously thinking about the feasibility of what Han Jian said.
"Joke, will you help me retreat from the invading enemy in the Southern Palace?"
Han Jian said: "It's not a secret, I admire Miss Yang Er in the future, if I can marry Miss Yang Er in the future, I will be a family with Nanwang." The family naturally does not talk to the two families, and when the time comes, you and I will be in harmony, which will naturally be more beneficial than the king of the south and the jackal of the king of hope. Moreover, if the king of the south is killed, it will only arouse the indignation of our Jiang generals, and Yuzhou will only be more dangerous. King Nan would certainly not be so unwise. ”
Yang Luochuan sneered: "Why does this king believe you? ”
Han Jian knew that what Yang Luochuan said was that he had been set up by the empress and more than a dozen aunts, and what capital did he have for negotiation.
Han Jian said with a smile: "With the position of my East King." If he can't make Jiangdu's soldiers and horses retreat, it will not be too late for the king of Nan to kill people to vent his anger. I, the princesses of the counties of the Eastern Palace, do not expect to let me fend for myself here. Why don't you give it a try? ”
Just when Yang Luochuan thought for a little and was noncommittal, a messenger suddenly came and said respectfully: "Your lord, 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdu are already under the city of Yuzhou!" (To be continued......)
