Chapter 456 The Battle of Pingcheng (1)

Outside, the Eastern King's Army and the Western King's Army fought "back and back", while inside, the staff and generals of the Eastern King's Mansion were also discussing various practical and effective military dispatch plans in detail. Overall, there was no result.

Han Jian did not go out to supervise the army again, but stayed in the central army's tent. Watching the generals discuss, they were warm at noon and had enough food and clothing, Han Jian couldn't help but wandered and slept for a while until he was awakened by a noise outside.

"Working noise outside with someone?" Han Jian opened his eyes, looked at the direction of the tent door and shouted.

"Young Master, it was sent by His Majesty, it seemed...Shangshu Lin."

Han Jian frowned. Lin Ke didn't know when to pick it up. Now it was a major military matter. How could the Central Army's tent have to entertain civil officials? Even if Lin Ke followed the army to fight, he and his civil officials should not interfere with the dispatch of troops.

"Let him come in." Han Jian said coldly.

Lin Ke entered the central army's tent with a arrogant look on his face. He didn't politely when he saw Han Jian. He seemed a little excited. When he came in, he shouted loudly: "Dongwang, why didn't you send troops to wipe out the Western King's Ni army? As the outside world says, can't you collude with the Western King's Ni army?"

Han Jian didn't expect that Lin Ke was labeled as a big hat when he got mad. He was really brave enough to speak when he was mad. Now he was marching and fighting. He said this to the commander, isn't he afraid of being beheaded?

Han Jian was silent for a moment and did not respond.

Lin Ke shouted again: "The soldiers of the three armies have long been unable to hold back and want to fight against the Western King's rebellion. Why haven't you ordered troops to be sent?"

After hearing this, Han Jian was probably not what Lin Ke wanted to say. Could it be that the queen asked him to come over and question it?

Han Jian waved his hand slightly, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and dragged Lin Ke out. Lin Ke was dragged by someone, and he kept saying anything, no one could hear clearly. However, the people present looked a little strange after Lin Ke was dragged away. After all, Han Jian didn't say why he didn't send troops.

"The Western King's Army is strong and we are waiting for our labor. Our army has been exhausted from afar. Do you think that sending troops now is the best choice?" Han Jian asked around the people present.

The generals present were all the most famous figures in the East Prince's Mansion. After hearing Han Jian's words, he even didn't understand them before and now he understood them. Han Jian did not plan to send troops to fight.

"Young Master, it's not a solution after all," said the deputy general named Sun Sheriff, who came forward to remind him.

"Okay, I will give you two hundred soldiers..."

As soon as Han Jian spoke, Sun Sho had an unknown premonition. Is it a bad thing that Han Jian was going to ask him to bring two hundred soldiers to die?

Han Jian paused and continued: "Go to the river in the northeast to build a floating bridge."

"this……"

Not only was Sun She confused, but the others present looked puzzled.

Han Jian did not send troops, but asked Sun She to take people to build a floating bridge. When the march came, the generals present had seen the river. Now it is the dry season in late autumn. There is only a little water on the river, and it is a big deal that people have passed by. What kind of floating bridge is needed to build this way?

"Why, Deputy General Sun feels that you are not satisfied with my arrangement?" Han Jian put down the desk and said in a deep voice.

"The last general takes the order."

Sun Shi hurriedly received the military order and went out to order troops to build a floating bridge.

"If it's okay, you can calm down first. I must rest first and not disturb you."

After Han Jian said that, he crossed his legs and started to sleep. The sleeping posture was indeed very indecent, but he was in the military camp and guarding the central army's tent, and the sleeping posture was not a tight matter. However, this was a pity that the other generals and strategists present could barely find a floor to sit, but they had no intention of sleeping. The autumn wind was blowing the war drums outside, so it would be strange if they could fall asleep.

But what is really strange is that Han Jian can still sleep as peacefully as before. Everyone couldn't help but think that the Eastern King had the courage and could still sleep at this time.

Han Jian was not heartless, but he knew that as long as the Eastern King Army did not take action in this battle, it would not be able to fight. The Western King Army did those actions in order to lead the Eastern King Army to take the initiative to attack and make the Southern King Mansion watch the fun.

Once the Western King's Army took the initiative to attack, the Southern King's Mansion also knew that it would come to help. This was a very delicate relationship. The Southern King's Mansion wanted both the fisherman to benefit, but the Eastern King's Army was destroyed, and Yuzhou became the next lamb to be slaughtered.

It is obvious that the two sides are fighting, but it is actually a three-party game. As long as you defend well, whoever moves first will suffer.

Han Jian slept for two hours. When he woke up, the sun was approaching dusk. Han Jian got up and stretched. At this time, everyone present was a little tired. They were all tossed hard these two days.

"Go back and rest, you guys, I can just take this place. Just think it's a shift change." Han Jian said with a smile.

The people present looked at each other in a glance. Han Jian could still speak easily now, which shows that Han Jian was confident. They stood up one after another, saluted and went back to rest first, but they did not dare to sleep too deeply. They all greeted the followers outside. Once there was any change in the army, they quickly asked them to get up and go to the Central Army to discuss military opportunities.

As night fell, the two camps looked very bright under the bonfire. The soldiers of the two armies buried their own stoves and changed shifts and had dinner, and they were also energetic and continued to confront each other, as if they were waiting to see who couldn't hold on to take the initiative.

Han Jian had a moment of calculation and became a little nervous. This battle could not be delayed in the first half of the night. In other words, a war would begin soon, but the main battlefield was not outside. The battle was not the more than 30,000 troops brought by Cao Baichuan's troops and him. Instead, the troops of Li Dai who were about 40 miles away to the northwest.

He spent a day and a night to arrange this mystery, which was to give Lin Zhan time to mobilize troops. After going around in a big circle, Lin Zhan had already brought thousands of troops and prepared to attack Li Dai. Because Lin Zhan was not many people, and the confrontation between the Western King's Army and the Eastern King's Army was very disturbing, Han Jian asked himself that he could still hide the news, but it was not 100% certain.

This is also Han Jian’s nervousness. If the matter is exposed and Li Dai is surrounded with 50,000 troops, then his choice is either to withdraw his troops or to garrison into Yuzhou City. At that time, the troops will definitely be damaged and will be picked up by the Southern Prince’s Mansion.

"My husband, I'm here." When Han Jian was about the fierce battle that night, Yang Ronger came over in military uniform.

After being sent back to the camp by Han Jian at noon, Yang Ronger came after resting. Because Han Jian told her that it would be a matter of night to fight, and there would be no trouble during the day.

"Xin'er, it's good to have you here, help me to help you with your husband's staff." Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Ronger said a little dissatisfied: "My husband said that he didn't even reveal the details. How could he help his husband's counselor?"

There were only Han Jian and his wife in the central army's tent, and Han Jian also felt that this was no different from his tent. He was still a little shy when he held Yang Xing'er. After all, this was a large tent of the central army, and someone might come at any time. This kind of thing in the army has always been a taboo.

After Han Jian's general talked about Lin Zhan's work, Yang Ronger suddenly said: "No wonder my husband said General Lin may not be in the army. It turned out that my husband sent him to attack the enemy's back? My husband did a very good job of keeping confidentiality."

Han Jian leaned close to Yang Ronger's ear, as if biting his ear and said, "The situation is a bit chaotic now, and there are also fine works by the Western King's Army in the Jiangdu army. I did everything as if I was planning to fight Cao Baichuan, but in fact it was to paralyze Cao Baichuan and Li Dai."

"Did you be afraid of leaking the news?" Yang Ronger asked at Han Jian.

"It's still Cin'er, you know me. If nothing unexpected happens, the war will start tonight. General Lin will first burn the food and grass of Li Dai's troops in Pingcheng, which is crucial. The Eastern King's Army will also join forces tonight to fight with the Western King's Army. In fact... this is not the result I want most."

Yang Ronger nodded and said, "I understand that my husband doesn't want the Jiangdu soldiers to suffer too many casualties, but on the battlefield, there will be casualties when there is a war. My husband might as well consider it. As long as he burns food and grass, he will withdraw his troops. Isn't it better?"

"When the time comes, force the Western King's Army to retreat without fighting?" Han Jian looked at Yang Rong'er in confusion.

Yang Ronger nodded and said, "Yes."

"This road is not open." Han Jian sighed, "Cao Baichuan and Li Dai have a ghost in their hearts. If they retreat without fighting this time, they will not be favored by Yang Pingju when they go back. I am afraid that after Cao Baichuan and Li Dai learned that the food and grass were destroyed, they will send troops to attack without any consequences. At that time, we will withdraw our troops and hit their wishes. At that time, the soldiers and soldiers will be distracted, and the soldiers in Jiangdu will end up in a disastrous defeat."

Yang Ronger thought about it, Han Jian was right and asked again: "How many soldiers did General Lin bring?"

"Six thousand soldiers." Han Jian said.

Yang Ronger said with suspicion: "Will six thousand soldiers and horses attack Pingcheng's important food and grassland successfully? Have you ever thought about it? If Li Dai or Cao Baichuan had noticed it, what if he sent troops to protect him?"

Han Jian smiled and said, "I was prepared for this. Pingcheng is the territory of Yuzhou after all. Even if we stockpile grain for the Xiwangjun, there are still many sent-up detectives left by the Eastern Palace before. At present, Li Dai sent people to protect him, but because he saw Cao Baichuan's troops and Pingcheng, he never thought that we would go around."

"My husband is more careful. When I was in Yuzhou, I heard of Li Dai. This person is not only admired by the Western King, but also has certain abilities."

"Zin'er, you haven't said that he has a shortcoming, that is, he is greedy for merit and prospering." Han Jian said, "I heard that he has a cousin, but he has some ability, but he cannot be valued by the Western King. Moreover, it seems that you can still recognize Zin'er."

Yang Ronger smiled and said, "Did you have a good taste in your heart? I did see Li Yu in the capital before, and he had to be valued by the King of the West at that time. He actually asked my father for marriage, but he was rejected by his father."

"Oh, so that's the case. I don't know if I don't say it." Han Jian said with a smile.

"My husband can't even say lies. I don't know who it was. When I mentioned Li Yu, it seemed like I mentioned my love rival... Oh my husband, why did you come like this again... Okay, I admit my mistake..." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
