Zhou Yuan had read the letter and his face became worse. Among them, there was a letter from Cao Baichuan to ask for help.

Facing the offensive of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Cao Baichuan said that he was "unable to do so" and wanted to repel or wipe out the pursuers with the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Zhou Yuan circulated Cao Baichuan's letter with everyone, and the generals and officials present scolded him. Although they had heard of Cao Baichuan's "crawling and cunning", they all said that they had never seen such a treacherous "villain".

"Everyone, how do you think?" Zhou Yuan looked around at everyone present.

A general said: "General, why not let us go to the East Prince's Mansion to express that this matter has nothing to do with us? We don't have to pay attention to the West Prince's Army..."

Zhou Yuan sneered: "Now we are going to war with the Eastern Palace and fighting for Luoyang. Do you want me to go to Xinjiangdu Military Camp?"

The general thought about it and realized that he was a little "taken for granted" and hurriedly accused him of guilt.

Zhou Yuan looked at the others and said, "What good ideas do you have?"

The people present were just scolding Cao Baichuan indignation, but now they have not said a word.

Although Cao Baichuan was treacherous and passed on hatred to the Northern King's Mansion, it was also a good opportunity for the Western King's Army to withdraw. As long as the pursuers of the Eastern King's Army and the Southern King's Army arrived around Luoyang, they would not sit idly by the Luoyang City and ignore it. In this way, the Western King's Army could become a person who was watching the tiger's fight, and let the coalition forces of the Southern King's Mansion East King's Mansion kill the Northern King's Army.

Zhou Yuan was a little annoyed when he saw that when he was talking nonsense just now, he seemed to have hills and valleys, but now he was pretending to be deaf and dumb. Zhou Yuan looked at Wu Hui who was talking just now and said, "General Wu Shen, what do you think?"

Wu Hui shook his head and sighed.

Zhou Yuan glared at Wu Hui and asked others, but none of them said anything about it. Now Cao Baichuan led his pursuers to Luoyang City. If he wanted to solve the problem, he would either cooperate with the Western Prince's Mansion to repel the pursuers first and then plot against Luoyang. But in this way, the Western Prince's Army could reap profits. It is still possible to say who belongs to Luoyang. But if Cao Baichuan's conditions are not agreed to Cao Baichuan's conditions, the military structure around Luoyang will suddenly become chaotic. At that time, the coalition forces of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion will fight the Western Prince's Army first or protect Luoyang first is difficult to speculate.

Zhou Yuan immediately ordered: "Tomorrow, send troops from three towns to capture Luoyang. Let the dust settle before these thieves arrive!"

"Get orders!"

Zhou Yuan ordered that those present regain their energy and salute.

Only Wu Hui was present and had a lot of thoughts. After leaving the central army tent, he did not return to the camp immediately, but instead asked Zhou Yuan to order his troops to lead his troops south to check the military situation.

Zhou Yuan had been a little annoyed with Wu Hui before. Now Wu Hui took the initiative to ask for orders to lead troops, but he was still quite cautious.

"General Wu Shen, are you saying that you want to lead troops to investigate the Dongwang Army?" Zhou Yuan asked while packing the documents on the table.

"Yes, general." Wu Hui said, "The last general wants to take the lead in the Northern King's Mansion. If he notices any abnormal movements in the Eastern King's Army, he can report back and let the general be prepared."

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and asked again: "How many people do you need?"

Wu Hui said: "One hundred whistle riding horses are enough."

"Okay." Zhou Yuan thought that one hundred cavalry could dispel the little Beiwang's suspicion, and immediately ordered, "The general will give you a hundred cavalry. You must check the enemy's military situation. General Wu, this general has always believed that you have a great future. In the future, do your best for this general."

Zhou Yuan patted Wu Hui on the shoulder and expressed his intimacy. This was a kind of show of kindness.

What Zhou Yuan thought was that although Wu Hui talked a little too much, he was a member of Xiaobei Wang after all. This time he was still quite "aware of the image". Knowing that he was not welcomed, he simply took a hundred people out as scouts to avoid being annoyed by him. Such a person who knew the image might be able to use it well in the future.

"Thank you for your love." After Wu Hui saluted, he directly received the order flag and took his men and horses back.

...

...

On the night of November 13, within the Jiangdu military camp.

After ten days of marching, the army camp of the Eastern King's army was less than 150 miles away from Luoyang. Han Jian felt the pressure on his shoulders.

Before, Han Jian was in Yuzhou, and he thought about just being alone. As long as he could defeat the Western King's Army and conquering Yuzhou, he would be considered a perfect result. Because just when it was about to be in the middle of winter, the war could be slowed down first, and Luoyang would not take it first. Just give an explanation to the queen.

But the things on the battlefield were not something he could do. The Western King's Army retreated and then pulled the war outside Luoyang. In this way, the war that he didn't want to fight was in front of him and was about to retreat. Not only could he not explain it to the queen, but he might also ruin this great opportunity.

After all, Jiangdu is the weakest among all forces. If you want to protect Luoyang and pacify the north, you must have allies and a suitable opportunity. This "time" is to take advantage of the chaos. The situation around Luoyang is now very chaotic. The Northern Palace is besieging Luoyang, while the Western Palace has insufficient food and grass and has to retreat. In comparison, the troops of the Eastern Palace and the Southern Palace are relatively strong.

Han Jian has been worried about food and grass for several days. Because the Eastern King Army went to the expedition far away, it opened a long supply line. The supply of food and grass is very difficult, and if this continues, it may not last long.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If he withdrew his troops like this, even Han Jian himself would feel unwilling to accept it.

On the evening of November 13, while Han Jian was holding a regular meeting, a spy came to inform him of the news. When the spy submitted the news to Han Jian, Han Jian looked at it and couldn't help but frown.

The generals and advisers present were a little surprised. Could it be that something happened on the front line? Or was Luoyang already conquered? It is probably a very bad thing to make the King of Eastern Reaction like this.

"Everyone, let's do this today. Go back and rest first, and continue to march tomorrow." Han Jian ordered.

The generals and advisers were confused, but they felt relieved. The days of marching made many people exhausted physically and mentally, and they wished they could rest immediately after the station.

But someone still noticed Han Jian's reaction to the intelligence and was still guessing what happened.

After everyone left, Han Jian did not stay, but went back to his usual office tent. Soon, alone, under the guidance of the soldiers, came to Han Jian.

"Tail to His Highness the Eastern King." When the visitor saw Han Jian, he knelt down and bowed towards him, very respectfully.

"Are you Wu Hui?" Han Jian looked at the person in front of him. Wu Hui was unknown in the Beiwang Mansion army. He had never heard of his achievements. Han Jian also found out that there was such a person when he checked the Beiwang Mansion information. He only knew that he had joined the military position through his relationship with Xiao Beiwang, but he was not welcomed by so many generals in the Beiwang Mansion.

"It is the last general." Wu Hui bowed, "The last general will surrender sincerity."

Han Jian smiled. There were many things he had accepted surrendered generals before, but this was the first time someone from the Beiwang Mansion came to surrender. People in the Beiwang Mansion have always looked down on the Dongwang Mansion, which lives in the south of the Yangtze River. This time, Wu Hui looked like a young man. Do such a young man think it would be better to defect to the Dongwang Mansion than to stay in the Beiwang Mansion?

"Wu...General General, is this your military post?" Han Jian asked.

“That’s right.”

"Why do you think that this general will accept you?" Han Jian asked, "As far as I know, you only brought a hundred soldiers and horses this time, and these hundreds of soldiers and horses seem to be... not your direct descendants, and some of them were sent by the Northern Palace to monitor you. You just want to join us, aren't you afraid that the Northern Palace will settle the score in the autumn?"

Wu Hui stood up from the ground, looked helpless, and sighed: "If the Northern King's Mansion sincerely accepted it, how could the Mo General be executed easily? But... neither the Northern King nor the Zhou Yuan, who led the troops, could not see the Mo General, and could not accept the views of the Mo General. Therefore... the Mo General could only come and surrender."

"Oh." Han Jian nodded, "Then you want to tell me, what information can you bring to my Eastern Prince's Mansion? If I can't tell me, I will not accept what happened today. General Wu Shen will look for another place."

Wu Hui picked up a stone from the ground. When Han Jian didn't understand what he was doing, he suddenly threw the stone back to the ground.

Han Jian thought about it, is this a puzzle?

"Your Highness the Eastern King, how dare you ask if you have any conspiracy with the Western King?" Wu Hui asked directly after coming up.

Han Jian narrowed his eyes. Only a few people in the entire army knew about such a secret matter. How could Wu Hui say something in one sentence?

"I am conspiring with the Western King? Haha, General Wu is speculating or testing?"

Wu Hui smiled and said, "If Your Highness the King of the East does not speak directly, that's true. The last general just came to surrender, and was not the confidant of His Highness the King of the East. How could His Highness the King of the East tell the truth? His Highness the King of the East was just speculating out of thin air. The last general guessed that if the King of the East and the King of the West had a conspiracy, he would have naturally divided the Luoyang belongings long ago. And in the Eastern Prince's army, Luoyang must have obtained the Eastern Prince's Mansion. After thinking about it, if the King of the West agreed to the conditions, he would definitely take the land of Hebei, from the Yellow River to the Great Wall, all of which were obtained from the Western Prince's Mansion."

Han Jian was a little cautious.

If Wu Hui was just guessing and could guess things so accurately, what kind of insight this person had in his heart would be far beyond his imagination.

He really couldn't think of how could the Northern Palace easily make him feel remarkable if he had such a talent?

"Did you say these words to Zhou Yuan?" Han Jian did not answer yes or no, but asked back.

Wu Hui nodded and said, "It's a pity that it is not allowed to be adopted. The General of the Mok believes that if the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Western Prince's Mansion are connected to each other, Luoyang is no problem. It is unknown whether the Northern Prince's Mansion will exist in the future. This makes the General of the Mok who is loyal to the Northern Prince's Mansion at sunset and dusk, which is very unwise. The General of the Mok also wants to join the Western Prince's Mansion, but only hears that the Western Prince's Mansion is insidious and will only trust his confidants. Therefore..."

Wu Hui didn't continue to say that, and Han Jian also understood that Wu Hui was here to "resign to the wise master" and regarded him as someone who could defect to him.

Han Jian never thought about accepting a surrendered general, but Han Jian really doesn't want to let go of such a talented person. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
