Before, Han Jian suspected that the Luoyang Army and the Northern King Army dared to send 200,000 troops south to attack Jiangdu without considering the way of retreat. The secret support of the Western King and the Southern King must have been obtained from the secret support of the Western King and the Southern King. Now Han Jian has only confirmed what he is thinking.

Han Jian also easily understood the intentions of the Western King and the Southern King, which was to show a position to watch the tiger fight. No matter which side wins in the end, they were all beneficiaries. And they were not completely unwilling to send troops. If the war between the two sides changes and they were given an opportunity to take advantage of it, they would send troops without hesitation to capture Jiangdu, Luoyang, or even the northern land.

The Western King and the Southern King both covet Luoyang City, while the North and Jiangdu are opposite.

The Southern King Yang Luochuan has always stationed his troops outside Jiangdu, and he also has the intention of capturing Jiangdu at any time. Even if he can't conquer Jiangdu and steal a large area of ​​territory between Jiangdu and Yuzhou, it is a good deal. Anyway, those who are fighting for their lives are the Luoyang Army and the Northern King Army. As for the Western King Yang Pingju, he prefers the northern lands. If Jiangdu can win this time or the Northern King Army suffers heavy losses in this battle, he will have the opportunity to get to the north and complete the siege of Luoyang.

"Is the message confirmed?" Han Jian thought for a while and asked.

"This is the content of the Western King's memorial, and the roadmap for the Southern King's envoys to enter Luoyang..."

Daxi Liu took out a book fold from his arms and handed it to Han Jian. Han Jian opened it and read it roughly, but there was no doubt about it.

The King of Western Representation was not a secret act, so many people in the court knew about it. Only Yang Luochuan, now he is Han Jian's father-in-law. There is also an alliance agreement with Jiangdu. He sent an envoy to Luoyang to submit a petition to Yang Yu, which would naturally be more mysterious. However, this could not be hidden from Mrs. Luo's intelligence system. Mrs. Luo was full of suspicion among the three religions and all the ranks of Luoyang City, but the envoy still did not hide it from it.

"Okay, you go back. These days are too tired, so you have to rest more, and you will have to work hard in the future." Han Jian said.

"Yes, young master." Daxi Liu bowed and left.

Han Jian sat in Zhi’s living room for a long time and was in a complicated mood.

He had been telling Yang Rong'er before that he would believe in the sincerity of the Southern Prince's Alliance. Now it seems that this is just his wishful thinking. From the beginning, Yang Luochuan married his daughter to him just to understand the difficulties in Yuzhou. It has nothing to do with the alliance. If he hadn't left the Yuzhou military camp, he might still be the cage-incarnated bird imprisoned by Yang Luochuan. Perhaps it was because he and Yang Rong'er escaped that Yang Luochuan was furious and he had to submit Luoyang to exchange for the siege of Luoyang and the Northern King's Army in Jiangdu.

As a person in the power field, Han Jian naturally hopes to be his Eastern King peacefully and be safe and safe for the rest of his life. But now it seems that his youth has become an existence that other powerful people cannot tolerate, and they can pick persimmons and pinch them. Now in Jiangbei, Jiang is the softest persimmon, and everyone wants to get involved.

Han Jian sat for a while and his body was warmer. When he felt a little warm, he didn't want to go out and walk in the wind and snow. But he knew that the living room was not his blessing after all, so he had to go back to the inner courtyard quickly.

After leaving the living room, the guards who had been waiting outside for a hurry to salute.

"Sorry, go in." Han Jian said with an apology.

All the guards knew that Han Jian was very polite. After saluting, they entered the living room. Han Jian walked on the snow and returned to the main hall of the East Prince's Mansion. At this time, Han Song and Han Cui were still waiting for him to go back.

"Jian'er, how about the meeting?" Seeing Han Jian come in, Han Cui couldn't wait to come forward to greet him and asked by the way.

"All what should be arranged is arranged." Han Jian sat down and said calmly, "Jiangdu has changed from now on to defending the city without leaving. A few days ago, the food and grass in each city were supplied, and it should be able to cope with the remaining half a year. In addition, the rebels could not attack the cities in our northern part. In the wartime gap, the city was damaged, and some reinforcements could be sent to support. The problem was not very big."

"That's good." Han Cui looked at Han Song, and both of them were a little relieved. "Jian'er, you are more and more like a person who does big things. From now on, the land of Jiangdu will depend on you."

Han Jian smiled and said, "Isn't this the second and third nickname still helping me? It won't work just by relying on me."

Han Song and Han Cui smiled, and Han Song also asked his servants to send dinner here. Han Jian has been busy with military meetings since the afternoon and has not eaten yet. They are also afraid that Han Jian will go back to the room regardless of his health after he comes back.

"It's good to send dinner to the next yard." Han Jian said, "I'm going to spend the night today."

Han Cui sighed: "It snows so heavily, just stay in Xin'er. I believe that Cin'er can understand you."

Han Jian smiled and said, "Since some rules are set, don't violate them, so as not to make them think more of it."

"It's still Jianer who knows how to behave in the king's house, so I won't say much about your second mother. But I'll finish the hot soup first and then go there." Han Cui said.

"Send it to you together." Han Jian got up and walked out of the house.

Han Jian walked to the door and heard Han Cui complaining, probably because he was complaining that he didn't know how to understand.

Han Jian entered Fengxue again and suddenly felt a little cold. He wanted to tell Yang Ronger about the Nanwang Mansion. The couple was very honest, but when they left the door, they were blown by the cold wind, and his mind changed. Yang Ronger said that his heart was already on his side. Instead of letting her know that the Nanwang Mansion was betrayal and blamed herself, it would be better not to let her know and let her be his little wife with peace of mind. She would give advice in front of him on weekdays and had no worries.

After Yang Ronger moved to the yard next to the Dongwang Mansion, an aisle was built between the Dongwang Mansion and the yard to facilitate the access of the servants and Han Jian on both sides. The two houses are both the Dongwang Mansion, but those with discerning eyes also know that one is the inner house and the other is the outer house. However, the people from the Dongwang Mansion do not call it that way. This is like the West Palace of the East Palace. Although Yang Ronger is the first to enter the door, she is not the concubine of the East Palace, but the West Palace. However, she doesn't care about this. She will only come to the main courtyard for a meal during festivals. On weekdays, she just stays in her yard and doesn't even go to the outside courtyard, let alone go to the main courtyard.

When Han Jian arrived at the outside house, many servants were cleaning the snow. The original heavy snow suddenly stopped. Even at night, these servants had to come out to sweep the snow, otherwise the snow would accumulate and it would be difficult to sweep the next day.

When they saw Han Jian, the servants saluted them one after another.

Han Jian smiled and, under the guidance of the maid's lantern, he headed to Yang Ronger's own courtyard. It was said that the entire outer house was set up for Yang Ronger, but Yang Ronger only occupied a corner of the outer house, a very small courtyard. Even Han Jian's concubines did not expect that Yang Ronger, who was born in the second lady of the Nanwang Mansion, would be so low-key. He was surprised when he came to see it on weekdays.

However, Han Jian met Yang Xinger's yard in the Nanwang Mansion. She is simple and low-key, and she is also Yang Xinger's personality. Although the two are now husband and wife, Han Jian does not want to change her lifestyle.

When she arrived in the yard, the door of the house opened. When Yang Ronger heard the sound of opening the door, she knew that Han Jian was coming. If Han Jian couldn't come to sleep on weekdays, she would even insert the horizontal bar of the yard, leaving her alone in the yard.

After all, Yang Ronger is a little withdrawn. It is difficult for even a maid to get close to her on weekdays.

"Here you." Han Jian entered the yard, and the maid called a lantern to take a leave, while Yang Ronger had already come out of the yard and was about to come and close the door.

Seeing Yang Ronger looking like a little wife waiting for him to come back, Han Jian's dissatisfaction with the Southern Prince's Mansion was wiped out. He didn't want to bring things to the yard in the power field. In this small courtyard, he was the male master, and Yang Ronger was the mistress. This is the world for the two of them.

"I thought you were going to bed first." Han Jian helped Yang Ronger put the horizontal bar.

"I know you are going to talk about major issues today. How can I go to sleep with peace of mind if you haven't come back?" Yang Ronger carefully helped Han Jian into the door and went inside. He was warm and warm. It turned out that Yang Ronger had made hot pot on the table, but before he could move his chopsticks, he put the food on the table, and the water in the pot was also boiling, as if he was waiting for him to come back.

"The water has been added several times, and you can eat it when you come back." Yang Ronger smiled.

Han Jian felt warm in his heart. Just as he was about to eat, a knock came from outside the door. Yang Ronger's face immediately elongated.

"Who is so ignorant of the current affairs?" Yang Ronger said as if she was angry.

"It should be the next door to send a midnight snack. I asked them to come here just now." Han Jian said with a smile.

"Hmph, there are delicious foods here, don't eat them, go eat your midnight snack..."

Yang Rong'er's face seemed to be angry, but Han Jian came forward and teased her and couldn't help laughing.

Han Jian went out and opened the door himself, asking the maid to bring the things in, and then closed the door and came in again.

"This is also the wish of my aunts, and there are many supplements for you to eat." Han Jian said.

Yang Ronger said in surprise: "Isn't it for you to eat?"

"I need to make up for it, so do you..." Han Jian said, and he had already started to simmer things in hot pot.

"How can it be the same when you go out and go in? I'll listen to the princesses of the county. Please make up for it more..." Yang Ronger stepped forward and said, like a nagging woman.

When Han Jian heard this, he felt a little "instructed" and smiled and said, "Listen to you. I'll make up for it first, and then I'll make up for it. What do you mean?"

Even Yang Ronger was in the room and was not careful of meat and fish. When she heard this, she couldn't help but blushed. She glared at Han Jian fiercely and came over to simmer with Han Jian.

This is also the dietary habit of the two. Since Han Jian made Yang XINER know about the good thing of "hot pot", Yang XINER has fallen in love with eating like this. It is absolutely refreshing and free, and does not have to be too restricted by the etiquette of eating. She also lives alone in this small courtyard without looking at the faces of outsiders.

When Han Jian arrived in the room, he could feel happy, which was different from the feeling of living in this huge palace with his concubines before. The two of them depended on each other and would not feel the cold outside even in winter.

"Hey, what's going on over the meeting? It's not that some days in the future, Jiang may have to close the city gate and can't go out?" After eating, Han Jian was washing his feet, and Yang Ronger suddenly asked.

"Don't worry about him." Han Jian said, "As long as the city in Jiangdu is peaceful and you can't starve to death, what's going on outside with us?"

Yang Ronger gave Han Jian a blank look and said, "You are the King of the East, do you say that the matter has nothing to do with you?"

Han Jian smiled and pulled Yang Xing'er to the bed. Yang Xing'er originally wanted to show her "conscience" with a dark face, but under Han Jian's offensive, her defense line quickly collapsed.

...

...

The heavy snow in mid-March made Jiangdu and even the land in Jiangbei covered with snow. This also had a great impact on the marching and combat.

Originally, the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army wanted to take the opportunity to go south and sweep the Jiangdu land with a sweep force. Due to the influence of the snow, their marching speed was extremely slow. After capturing several small counties one after another, the Luoyang Army and the Beiwang Army went south also slowed down.

At the same time, no reinforcements were sent on the East Prince's Mansion. It seemed that both sides were waiting for the snow to melt and wait for the spring to bloom.

There is a lot of snow in spring, but it melts quickly. Once the weather gets warmer, in one or two days, only 000 points of snow are left in the sky.

On March 26, when Han Jian left the East Prince Mansion in the morning, the entire open space in front of the East Prince Mansion had been completely cleared, and willow catkins were floating. It seemed that they changed from winter to spring overnight.

Although this spring came very late, Han Jian was in a good mood. This season is also the best time for the year in Jiangdu City. Last year, Han Jian set out on the way to Luoyang, and this year he was entangled by war and had no time to enjoy the scenery.

Han Jian took some regrets and went to the Chengdong Mansion. On that day, a military meeting mainly discussed the transportation of food and grass on the front line, and he needed to attend.

The one who presided over this meeting was no longer him or an official from the court or the Eastern Prince's Mansion, but Lin Xiaosu. This was the first time Lin Xiaosu presided over such an important meeting in public, and Han Jian went there purely to "support".

Han Jian arrived earlier, but Lin Xiaosu arrived earlier than him. When Han Jian arrived, she was packing up some official documents, which were submitted to her by the local government about the transportation of food and grass. Because she didn't recognize many words, she had to go back to ask Da Xiliu to find out what was written on it. However, she was also studying hard. Now she recognized most of the words in a official document.

"So many things, didn't you prepare in advance?" Han Jian saw Lin Xiaosu frowning at the frown of a large stack of official documents, and he didn't even notice him when he went in, so he couldn't help but smile and joke.

"Uh?" Lin Xiaosu looked up and saw Han Jian, and hurriedly saluted.

"No need, Butler Lin, you are plagued by official duties now, how dare you waste your time? How about it? Are you sure you can do it well today?" Han Jian said with a smile.

Lin Xiaosu thought seriously and said, "It should work."

"You know that you are not popular in the eyes of some people, but you must be prepared to be made difficult for you at any time. When you can't hold on, look at me and I'll save you."

Lin Xiaosu said a little dissatisfied: "I'm not allowed to say this? Let's see when I'm walking."

Han Jian nodded with a smile. At this time, some officials responsible for the transportation of grain and grass had already entered the department, including the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Treasury Department of the Court, and Sun Xiaoning, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who had dared to contradict Han Jian before.

Suddenly, dozens of people came to the empty hall.

Han Jian knew that in the past, Lin Xiaosu had only three or five people to deal with at one time. He just told them a little, as if he was giving an order, and no one could object or say anything. Now she was facing the blame from dozens of masters. These people were not vegetarians, and they were more professional than Lin Xiaosu, a monk who became a monk who had become a monk halfway through the journey. It seemed that they were clearly trying to smash the stage.

"I have seen His Highness the Eastern King." These people were not surprised to see Han Jian. After all, Lin Xiaosu was promoted by Han Jian, and he could be said to be Han Jian's absolute confidant. These people are also prepared for Han Jian to come to save the scene.

The meeting started in a very relaxed atmosphere, and they had just walked out of "hibernation", asking about their well-being with false intentions. At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Due to heavy snow, the war in the north began to develop in an unfavorable direction of Jiangdu, but at the same time it also brought the two sides a buffer period of more than half a month. During the buffer period, the two sides basically did not exchange much fire, and Jiangdu only lost some small counties in these days, which had nothing to do with the overall situation. In addition to Luozhou, some important prefectures and counties in the north were also under the control of Jiangdu.

If the city is not lost, it will mean that the food and grass support cannot be cut off.

There was a heavy snowfall before, and reports of food and supplies in many places were also spread to Jiangdu one after another. It was like asking for supplies. It was almost a sick habit. As long as there were cities, other cities would also make a fuss. What they said seemed to be so urgent in their own city, and they had no meals after eating. But in fact, most cities had stocked up a lot of supplies to deal with when preparing for war last winter, and Han Jian did not have the plan to stick to it when it was covered with heavy snow.

They all reached out to ask for it, but Jiangdu didn't have so much supplies to supply, which involved the reports of these requested materials, which were real and which were following the trend.

Originally, there are many materials in the city, and the East Prince Mansion is aware of them. They will not let the lion speak out. Some of the shortage of special materials, such as medicinal materials and weapons. The East Prince Mansion generally does not refuse, but asking for huge materials is the lion speaks out with a bit of coercion. If these cities are close to the front line, they cannot be too negligent even if they understand that the lion speaks out, because it is to prepare for war and deal with rebel siege at any time. It is correct to prepare more materials. Moreover, this kind of request generally carries a kind of attitude of being constrained. If the materials are not transported in time, those prefectures and counties have reasons to not resist. It may even cause mutiny in the army.

Han Jian knew that the question of whoever is loyal to these days is nonsense. Whoever gives food to the emperor is the emperor, and who makes people hungry. Even if he is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, he has to stand aside. This is the case for the people. Those who are officials and those who are soldiers are generally the same. If you want people to fight to the death, you must first meet other people's requirements. Whether you are buying people's hearts or spending money to hire people to work, you must be willing to give first.

Because the snow in Jiangdu has almost melted in the past few days, the official road is no longer blocked, and the message has been transmitted a little faster. In the past few days, the reports of various places asking for supplies have also followed the snowflakes.
