Although Han Jian felt that an armistice would be a good choice in the first battle of Xianbei, so far, Xianbei has used more than 150,000 men and horses, and the Wei Dynasty has dispatched nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. As for the Southern Dynasty, Han Jian could only rely on the soldiers and horses guarding Yuzhou, and it can be seen from the previous letter from Sima that the Southern Dynasty has been busy with infighting recently, and the situation in the Southern Dynasty is not very stable when Xiao Zhan ascended the throne, so for a while, the Southern Dynasty should not have the spare strength to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

After the purge of soldiers and horses, the army continued to move north, this time re-taking the old road of Connecticut. Kangzhou City was burned down by fire after the last Xianbei sneak attack on grain and grass, and this time the army could no longer use Kangzhou as the main garrison and grain hoarding location when the army went north. This cloud city is a county under the rule of Kangzhou, although the city wall is not stable, but at least it has not been baptized by the Xianbei people, and the city wall is generally intact. By the time Han Jian personally arrived at Cloud City with 30,000 horses, Cloud City had already become an empty city like Connecticut, and even two of the four city gates were missing. The army has to be stationed in the city, and the absence of the city gate is equivalent to the door being wide open, Han Jian can only let people temporarily build the city gate, and it is impossible to cast the iron gate, that is, to build the gate with trees, but fortunately, there are many craftsmen with the army, and the craftsmen provide a plan, and the soldiers will cut down the trees and help carry them, and they will build a few city gates that look very crappy in one night, and they will be installed in place before they have time to polish them.

When the soldiers and horses arrived in Cloud City, they felt like there was nothing. Many of the wells in the city were dry wells, but there was only one small river in the city, and the water of the small river was to the north, and the water in the river could not be used as a source of drinking water for the army without knowing whether it was safe or not. Han Jian originally wanted to adjust the city he was stationed in, but at present, the situation in Zhongyun City, the state capital along the Beiguan route, was already good, and he really couldn't pick a better city that could garrison troops. Moreover, the army was stationed in the city for only a day or two, and it was to set out again. Han Jian didn't think much about it.

As soon as he was stationed in Cloud City, Han Jian sent a forward man to the north, also to prevent the Xianbei people from sneaking south again. Last time, it was to lure the enemy into an ambush, so you don't need to make more preparations. But the current situation in Cloud City is not good, if there are really Xianbei people who move south. Han Jian's 30,000 soldiers and horses would most likely be surrounded in Cloud City and unable to move. Moreover, when the war in the north tends to ease, the Xianbei people may have major military movements at any time, because many of the Xianbei soldiers and horses who were originally galloping on the battlefield have disappeared from the battlefield in recent times, either in the rear for rectification, or simply planning a major military operation.

Han Jian had no reason to take risks, so Han Jian simply let the people of the intelligence system investigate, at this time, there were as many as 10,000 or 20,000 people in the intelligence system or employed by the intelligence system at the northern border pass. Even more people and horses stationed in some cities, Han Jian knew very well the importance of battlefield information, if he couldn't detect the movements of the Xianbei people in advance, it would be tantamount to falling into passivity on the battlefield. In order to ensure the smooth flow of intelligence, the Xianbei people also arranged a large number of scouts and small groups of cavalry to harass in the entire Hebei generation, and these horses were actually a wake-up call to Han Jian, no matter what military action they had, they could not try to escape the eyes of the Xianbei people.

After the soldiers and horses were stationed, the morale of the soldiers was very average. Before, all the soldiers thought that they were going to retreat to Beichuan, and the mentality of fighting fatigue spread among the army. It is also that there are not many soldiers who really have actual combat experience among the soldiers who went out with Han Jian, and the soldiers also know that they are completely inferior in the battle with the Xianbei people on the battlefield, and they have long wanted to go home for fear of death. The concept of what kind of land has fallen is not very high for them. Because there has always been a saying in the army, that is, the Xianbei people are plotting only Hebei at all, and the Xianbei people are not ready to continue to cross the Yellow River, because the Xianbei people only have cavalry and no ships, and it is very difficult to think about crossing the Yellow River. In this way, many people in the army feel that they are not from the north of the Yellow River anyway, so why do they have to fight with the Xianbei people? Fortunately, it was rumored that the army was about to run out of food, and if the army really had to run out of food, the soldiers had to rise up and rebel. to any time. The people of this age are just looking for food and clothing.

Han Jian held a meeting overnight to discuss the strategy of marching north. But it's also at a loss. The generals and strategists below had already resisted the plan to go north this time, and now they had to fight the Xianbei people head-on. Like the soldiers below, they hoped that even if they did not withdraw their troops, it would be better not to fight. But Han Jian still insisted on going north, even if there was no result in the promotion of the account, Han Jian still made a statement, preparing to march north to join forces with Su Tingxia's troops, and fight to the death with the men and horses of the Khan King of Xianbei.

After the generals withdrew from the big tent, Han Jian put down the official documents in hand and prepared to rest a little tired. The sand table on the table was still standing, and the entire big tent was a little empty, but Han Jian had a feeling of loss. It has been more than two months since he left Luoyang, and he is also very concerned about the situation at home and the situation in the court, although he is not very at ease with Ning Yuan, but at least Ning Yuan has not done anything to rebel, and the court is quite stable, and even Yang Rui is staying in the palace. However, Yang Rui didn't write any letter to Han Jian, and he didn't even ask a word of peace, Han Jian thought that Yang Rui should still hate him, although Yang Rui also knew that all this was "obedient to the heavens", and even the matter of abdication was proposed by Yang Rui, but how to say it also cast a shadow on the relationship between the two.

"Hey, still not sleeping?" Han Jian was thinking about it, the sound of footsteps came, Han Qi'er wore riding boots and entered the big tent, although she was quite respected in the army as the county lord, but recently Han Jian rarely called her in the promotion of the account, because the army was still resistant to this new county lord, afraid that some big decisions in the army would be leaked out by her. And Han Qi'er doesn't care too much about this, her people in the army are very few, only three or four hundred, she is with her brothers on weekdays, and at night she must go to the Chinese army's tent to "report" to prove that she has no intention of escaping.

Han Jian bulldozed the sand table, turned around and put down the information on the north in hand before the handsome case, sat down and looked at Han Qi'er and said, "You have something to do?" “

Han Qi'er smiled, but she seemed to be embarrassed to scratch her head, as if she had something to ask for, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal." It's you...... cough, my sister-in-law's martial arts are very powerful, I saw that she could even soar through the clouds that day, that trick is really powerful, can you tell my sister-in-law and let her teach me? ”

Han Jian had a feeling of crying and laughing, this Han Qi'er seemed to really regard herself as a dish. He accepted Han Qier as his sister-in-law. In fact, he wants to gather local forces and lay a foundation for Zhao'an, even if this Han Qi'er has a bit of grace. He was not prepared to let this emperor's righteous sister continue to do it for a long time, after this war was over. She, the king of Shangzhou, has a little fief at most, and this fief is not even as good as a small prince, and she herself will be left in Luoyang by Han Jian to prevent her from going out, at most let her lead the tribute of the fief. But now she actually thinks that she is the county lord of the Wei Dynasty, which means that she is a bit unscrupulous, and now she is still shy and asks Fa Yi to teach her martial arts.

Han Jian shook his head helplessly and said, "If you want to learn martial arts, you must practice from an early age." There is still enough talent, and I am afraid that there will be no progress after decades of hard work. As for you...... Now they are almost twenty years old, and their bones have long been hard, and it is impossible to learn martial arts. ”

Han Qi'er was very dissatisfied when she heard this: "What's wrong with being twenty years old? I'm not married yet, isn't I just a little girl if I'm not married? And when my mother was alive, she said that her daughter's body is already soft, and she will learn martial arts or something quickly, and I also have enough talent, you tell my sister-in-law, I don't want to be able to do it like her. If only I could practice my ability to walk on water. ”

Han Jianxin said that he was really ashamed, he still wanted to practice floating on the water with this small body? Han Jian asked himself if he hadn't practiced at that level since he was a child, and then look at Han Qi'er's reckless appearance. Even if she has a good face and a good figure, she will reveal her true form as soon as she opens her mouth, and she has no demeanor and demeanor as a county lord at all, and now he must keep her by her side, otherwise it is good that this kind of unruly woman likes to go wherever she goes, and Han Jian did not kill her with a knife.

"The next time we meet, you can mention it yourself, and see if she is willing to teach or not. I won't care about it! After Han Jianzheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the official documents, and sent Han Qi'er away by the way, which also meant that Cao Cao Cao arrived. Fa Yi came over to bring Han Jian soothing tea, and also reminded Han Jian to rest early.

Han Qi'er laughed and said, "Hey." I'll just say, I'm very close to my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is good. Hello sister-in-law! Saying that, he stepped forward to help each other, and nodded his head and was so disrespectful, Han Jianxin said that this Han Qi'er clearly regarded Fa Ye as the emperor. He, the emperor, was not treated so courteously by her.

Fa is still a little inexplicable, she has basically not had contact with Han Qi'er in the carriage during the march these days, and now as soon as she entered the city to meet, Han Qi'er took the initiative to come up to say hello, and she seemed to be very familiar. Fa Yi was originally a little resistant to the emotions of the world, she had been in the intelligence system for too many years, she knew what the world was warm and cold, after marrying Han Jian, the only person who could make her believe wholeheartedly was Han Jian, and she was very wary of people other than Han Jian. Naturally, she would not let Han Qi'er be moved by this attitude.

"Your Majesty, please drink tea." Fa Yi was still very respectful to Han Jian, even though Han Jian always reminded her not to be addressed to His Majesty when no one was around. Han Jian was about to say more, when he saw a smirking face like a light bulb next to him, he remembered that there were no "outsiders" here, so everything was still good to follow the rules.

Han Qi'er followed behind Fa Yi and muttered: "Sister-in-law, in fact, I want to tell you, not only me, but also those brothers under my command who saw my sister-in-law's martial arts that day, they all admired it very much, originally they also said that it was a big hero who had such ability, and then I told them that it was the wife of my newly recognized brother, and they were all surprised." They all wanted to see their sister-in-law again, but they never saw each other, otherwise they would have introduced them to the brothers. ”

Han Jian was a little impatient, this was really a broken mouth, and she told her brother everything. Fa Ye's affairs in the army, Han Jian didn't even tell his generals and strategists, many soldiers still think that this is a "Fa General", how do they know that Fa Ye is the imperial concubine? But now that Han Qi'er has told her brother about this, needless to say, the matter will soon spread throughout the barracks.

Han Jian said: "Do you know what a leaked military plane is?" ”

Han Qi'er was a little puzzled and said, "What is a leaked military aircraft?" Isn't it similar to the rumor of a leak? In our cottage, if anyone dares to leak the news, it must be cut down, even if it is a brother, there is nothing to talk about. ”

Han Jian said: "In this case, General Fa's identity in the army is the top secret in the army, but you told your brother about it, what is it that didn't leak the military plane?" How should I punish you? ”

Han Qi'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, thinking that Fa Yi used to show people in men's clothes, and now Han Jian said that this is a top secret, where does she know this, the whole person is also a little flustered, and said, "Who ...... Who knows so many rules, you say it's a military plane, it's a military plane? If you don't say in advance, how do I know? I'm sorry, I thought Gong, where is the toilet? Alas, sister-in-law, I'll tell you about teaching me martial arts next time we meet, go first! After speaking, it seemed that he had escaped, and when he left, Han Jian smiled slightly bitterly and shook his head, where is this to accept a righteous sister, it is simply to accept a plague god by his side.

"Your Majesty, why should you be angry, or maybe she is just a child, and she doesn't understand the things of the world very well." Fa also said good things for Han Qi'er.

Han Jian sighed: "It's also that I don't have brothers and sisters, and seeing her is a bit like an unenlightened sister." But there are some things that can't be forced after all, she is from a reckless background, and she doesn't understand the rules, how can she be the county lord in the future? At present, her men and horses are also constantly causing trouble in the army, which is related to the habits of these people, if she can be taught well, if she is allowed to continue to be pampered in the army, I don't need to punish him, and the officers and men in the army will have opinions. ”

Fa Yi nodded, but he didn't know what to say. Han Jian's choice to accept Han Qi'er as his sister-in-law actually has another intention, others don't know, and Fa Ye, as a person who spies for Yang Rui all the year round, is still very clear. is about the question of Prince Yan Ning, Han Jian never understood who made Han Qi'er claim to be the descendant of Prince Yan Ning, and Han Jian had also asked Han Qi'er before, Han Qi'er said that she was not surnamed Han, but surnamed Chu, and she changed her surname only after receiving the guidance of the "master", and then she seemed to be invincible, and even the cottage expanded. Han Qier's father was originally the leader of the cottage, and there was a group of brothers under him who had been working hard for many years, and Han Qi'er had good kung fu since she was a child.

"Forget it, let her go." Han Jian sighed suddenly, but he stepped forward to hug Fa Yi and said, "Let's go back to the sleeping tent earlier, that girl wants your master to teach her martial arts, but you are my master, so it's better to teach me carefully." ”

Fa Yi glanced at Han Jian lightly, but the corners of his mouth also showed a very light smile. (To be continued)
