Yang Qingle in front of him is no longer the glory he used to be.≥The internal struggles of the Wei Dynasty royal family over the past two or three years have tortured these royal powerful families in the gap. Those who chose the wrong camp are like Yang Qingle, and even have no dignity as they are today.

Han Jian sat down, his face looked very calm. Yang Qingle on the side was still huddled in the corner, as if he was afraid that Han Jian would eat her.

"I heard that you haven't eaten these days, is there any such thing?" Han Jian asked calmly.

This aroused the last trace of dignity in Yang Qingle's heart. She simply didn't look at Han Jian, so as not to be discovered by Han Jian.

"There is no need to be in trouble with your own health. There is another thing that tells you, although it is not as comfortable as your Yanning Prince's Mansion, at least you will not die. If you escape one step, you will be killed." Han Jian added, "The one who wants you to die now is not the Eastern Prince's Mansion. You'd better be a little enlightened."

Yang Qingle naturally couldn't understand what Han Jian said, but she was even more scared by Han Jian's fright.

After all, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl, and she was not worried. After experiencing too many things that made her feel scared, she now feels helpless and there seems to be danger everywhere around her.

Han Jian finished speaking and stood up. Just as he was about to leave, Yang Qingle suddenly asked with a trembling body behind him, "...I...I want to see... Your Majesty!"

Han Jian turned his head and showed a sneer, saying, "I still haven't figured out the situation. If you see Your Majesty, you will be in a different place in the next moment!"

Yang Qingle's body naturally shrank, and he was obviously startled by Han Jian's cold words again.

Han Jian didn't say much and left directly.

He didn't want to kill Yang Qingle yet. Han Jian wanted to keep Yang Qingle as a chess piece in his hand and could use it at critical moments.

What he is worried about now is the power struggle in the royal family in the future. Although Yang Rui still considers his wife's way, there is a power gap between the two. Whether Yang Xi returns in the future or Yang Rui continues to rule, he will face a problem, that is, the power of the Eastern Prince's Mansion will not be lost. In addition, the remnants of Prince Yan Ning who is behind the scenes come out to fight for power and profit, Han Jian also feels that he can use it to resolve the conflict between him and Yang Rui.

Only when there is a consistent spearhead will we work together to the outside world. If the rabbit dies and dogs cook, if the north completely quells the trouble, the remaining one that has the greatest threat to the court will become the Eastern Palace. Yang Rui will definitely use various methods to seize the power of the Eastern Palace.

On this point, he must also be prepared early.

...

...

The war in the north has continued to heat up.

In mid-July, Su Tingxia's troops had approached the Liaohe River and launched the first round of offensive against the frontier positions of the Bohai Kingdom.

Compared with the strength of the Xianbei cavalry, the Bohai Sea is much weaker. Judging from the information sent back from the front, it was only two or three days ago. The frontier of the Bohai State has basically been lost, and some of the Bohai State soldiers and horses that had originally invaded the Wei Dynasty also chose to retreat.

At this moment, Beichuan City of Beiwang Mansion has not yet been lost. Beiwang Mansion has been holding on for nearly five months, but the Xianbei people have not yet taken another step to the south. This also gave Su Tingxia's troops the opportunity to further expand their results.

When Su Tingxia's troops invaded the Bohai Kingdom, the military offices and various forces in Luoyang City were in an uproar. Only then did they know about the plan for the Eastern Prince's Mansion to advance. From the beginning, the Eastern Prince's Mansion had not disclosed half of the sentence, which shows the confidentiality of the operation.

Now that the Xianbei people are invading the south in large numbers, Beichuan City is as dangerous as it is, and even Luoyang will ignore it day and night. The Eastern Prince's Mansion actually sent troops to take the initiative, and in the absence of troops and food, its boldness in sending troops is also admired by many people. It has achieved good results in such a long and difficult march, which is unexpected.

The front-line war is still in full swing. Judging from the news from all parties, after learning that the territory of the Bohai Kingdom was raided by the Wei Dynasty soldiers and suffered heavy losses, the Xianbei people stepped up their fierce attack on Beichuan City in the first few days. They had the intention of resolving Beichuan City first, and then returning to support Bohai Kingdom and swallowing Su Tingxia's troops in one fell swoop.

But after all, the Xianbei people were not good at siege, and Beichuan City was a trapped beastly land that was trapped on all sides, which made the soldiers and civilians in the city unite and unanimously resist the Xianbei people's siege, which made the Xianbei people's plan fail. After this round of pressure, Beichuan City still stood firm. In this way, the Xianbei people were a little panicked.

In the northeast of the Wei Dynasty, in the large tent of the Wei Dynasty's soldiers and horses, Su Tingxia sat upright like a marshal.

Many people flocked into the big tent, in addition to the generals of the Wei Dynasty, there were also several local leaders and military generals of the Bohai Kingdom who were escorted.

This time, the Wei Dynasty's sudden attack on the Bohai Kingdom made the Bohai Kingdom unprepared. In a few days, in addition to the territory occupied by the Bohai Kingdom, Su Tingxia's troops were more important to plunder local resources to complete the war. Burning, killing, looting, and the Bohai people were a little scared, and some people and livestock were all captured, just like the Xianbei people plundering the Wei Dynasty.

Wherever Su Tingxia's troops went, it can also be said that no grass grew.

"You are the people of our Wei Dynasty, why did you commit rebellious things?" Su Tingxia shouted on the spot.

All present were the aristocratic class of the Bohai Kingdom, who could be said to have privileges in the Bohai Kingdom. They did not expect that when the Wei Dynasty came, they would go from privileged class to prisoners, and might be regarded as animals in the future.

The Bohai Kingdom has always regarded the Central Plains dynasty as the main ruler and claimed to be a minister. This is also a tradition of a vassal state. That is, it is independent, but it only recognizes diplomatically that it is a minister. If a war occurs, it will be recruited. However, the Central Plains dynasty has never looked down on the small land of the Bohai Kingdom, and it has never been said that there will be wars to recruit the Bohai Kingdom's troops. However, if there is any rebellion in the Bohai Kingdom, the royal family will always seek the protection of the Central Plains dynasty.

But in recent years, due to the rise of the Xianbei people, the Bohai Kingdom has not paid tribute to the Wei Dynasty for many years. Instead, the Bohai Kingdom and the Xianbei people have established relatively equal diplomatic relations, that is, the relationship between brother countries. The Xianbei people are brothers, while the Bohai people are younger. In this way, the Bohai Kingdom does not have to pay tribute every year, saving expenses, and can also be protected by the Xianbei people, which is a good thing for the Bohai Kingdom.

Now the Xianbei people are moving south in large numbers, and the Wei Dynasty is still in a state of civil strife. The Xianbei people also think it is the best time to plan to wait for the share of the pie between the Xianbei people in the Central Plains, so they agreed to send troops together.

It was just that the Xianbei people were in front, and the Bohai people were behind. In addition, the Bohai country had sparse battle formations, and the advancement of troops not only occupied a few cities, but also did not achieve any good results. However, the Bohai country was different from the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people went south to plunder. Because the Xianbei people were only good at fighting on horseback and did not know how to conquer cities or territories, or operate fixed cities. However, the Bohai people were different. Relatively speaking, the Bohai people's lifestyle was closer to the Central Plains, and even the culture was the same, which made them want to occupy more cities for future management.

Su Tingxia's words caused several uneasiness among the Bohai people present. As a powerful class, most of these people could understand the language of the Middle Earth.

"This general, I don't know the name of honoring my surname." An old man from Bohai Kingdom asked.

Among the people present, this person seemed to be the oldest last year, but he was in good spirits. He looked like a powerful person.

Su Tingxia had learned before that this person was an elder of the local clan leader. In the Bohai Kingdom, he could be said to be a figure like a vassal king. It is said that this person had more than a hundred photons, and countless of them had grandchildren.

"This is our General Su." Su Tingxia certainly could not reply in person at this time, but said something from the side general.

"General Su?" The old man obviously had never heard of Su Tingxia's name.

Su Tingxia is not a famous general in the Central Plains, and he led his troops north to pacify the Northern Prince's Mansion. It is not a big deal. In addition, the news in the Bohai Sea is blocked, and he has been busy invading the Central Plains recently. So he can't control how many people there are in the Central Plains.

"General Su, you are now the master of this land of Luzhou. We are willing to regard General Su as the main lord. If General Su has any questions, please give him instructions. We are willing to serve the work of a dog and a horse!" said the old man.

Su Tingxia couldn't help but sneer.

In his opinion, these Bohai people were also extremely cunning. Now his troops have occupied the entire area. Even if the old man doesn't say he surrenders, can he still resist?

Although according to the rules, he first politely and then troops, and now he sends troops directly, but he encounters the "ritual" of the Bohai people, which is also a way to survive. After thinking about it a little, Su Tingxia understood that these Bohai people were changing their minds.

"No need." Su Tingxia sneered. "A such an unfaithful minister should be handed over to His Holiness to deal with him. You will be escorted to Luoyang tomorrow!"

This scared the Bohai people present.

The foreign people who have been escorted to Luoyang City will basically not end up with any good consequences. Even the former powerful people will become slaves when they arrive in Luoyang, and will even be sold or slaughtered at will, and even the government will not interfere. Even these killings and transactions are done by the government.

These people thought in their hearts that even if they were replaced by occupiers, they would receive their original treatment as long as they surrendered. Unexpectedly, this general named Su would not give them a chance, and even their last little dignity would be deprived of.

"General Su, think twice before you act!" The old man was a little anxious and said hurriedly, "The Bohai people are also vassals in the Middle Earth. Even if they had any unfaithful things, they were forced by the power, not intentionally. Besides, the Xianbei people are so cruel. If there were no Bohai people to help, the court would not be able to drive away the Xianbei jackals, right?"

"You won't have to worry about these things."

Su Tingxia said, and immediately issued a military order.

The people in charge of logistics in the army moved all the Bohai people to the mainland and temporarily imprisoned these people in nearby cities. After the war was over, these people were escorted to Luoyang.

...

...

Su Tingxia's decision was passed back to Luoyang three days later.

At the same time, the war reports from the front were also reported, including the smooth progress of Su Tingxia's advance over the past few days. Within a few days, the troops had completely defeated the troops of the Bohai Kingdom, and the vanguard army had already gone to the capital of the Bohai Kingdom.

But after Yang Rui said this, Han Jian became a little "rude" to the people of Bohai.

"Even if the Bohai people are fickle, it is the fault of the Bohai royal family and the powerful. What is the fault of ordinary people? If you separate your wife and children, if they are in chaos, wouldn't they want to cause trouble?" Han Jian said.

Yang Rui glared at Han Jian, put down the war report and said with some resentment, "Then do whatever you want. I, an emperor, have no right to speak in front of you. But I remind you that these Bohai people are not the people of the Central Plains after all, and they have the heart of barbarians. If you don't break them up and disrupt them, there may be many disasters in the future."

Han Jian was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.

...

...

After only four or five days, the Bohai Kingdom was a little unable to sit still.

Han Jian learned from the front that the Bohai Kingdom had asked the Xianbei people for help several times, but the Xianbei people were busy attacking Beichuan City and had no time to withdraw from the rescue of the Bohai Kingdom.

The Bohai Kingdom was helpless and simply sent envoys to bypass Su Tingxia's troops and came directly to Luoyang, and "begging for mercy" from the Luoyang court.

The reason why they were begging for mercy rather than help was because the Wei Dynasty was the one who sent troops to attack the Bohai Kingdom this time. Although it was the Northern Palace rather than the Wei Dynasty court, in the eyes of the Bohai people, there was no difference between the two.

The Bohai people wanted to skip Su Tingxia because Su Tingxia was a demon-like existence in the eyes of the Bohai people. They burned, killed, looted, and even some children and babies were not spared. Even if some of the tribes and cities of the Bohai Kingdom took the initiative to surrender, they would still end up being moved away from their land. They would also move away, and they did not even give the most basic food. Along the way, these Bohai people just ate wild grass and ate the bark to make a living. The food was invaded by Su Tingxia's troops and then used as military supplies.

When the Bohai people saw Su Tingxia's army, they did not send troops to fight, nor did they blindly defend and resist, nor did they dare to surrender. They just ran away when they heard that Su Tingxia's army had come. The entire city of the city was withdrawn, and the direction of retreat was also the capital of the Bohai Kingdom, or even further north. Those places were basically bitter and cold places near autumn and winter, with few people.

By the end of July, Han Jian was convinced of the authenticity of the news. The Bohai Kingdom had indeed sent envoys and was almost here to Luoyang City.

At this time, the Xianbei people temporarily slowed down their attack on Beichuan City, because at this time the Xianbei people also felt the pressure from the rear.

The Bohai Kingdom was defeated like a mountain. Even the Xianbei people realized that they could no longer resist. If they ignored it in this situation, the next attack would inevitably be the Xianbei people themselves.

When Xianbei people go south, they don’t have to worry about it. This is also the tradition of Xianbei people.

Because the Xianbei people have no rear positions, as long as they send troops out and find a grassland to settle their wives, children and children, they are not afraid of the people in the Central Plains going around. One attacks and the other defends, which is also a constant rule.

But this time the situation is very different. The Xianbei people felt the pressure from the rear for the first time. The pressure from the rear was great, and the powerful and powerful people of the Xianbei people were the first to refuse. Because they had a lot of privileges in the rear, and many powerful people did not have to go to the front line to fight in person.

In addition, the morale of the army is unstable. After all, the Xianbei people also have wives, children, and young people, so it is impossible to bring wives, children, and young people around them during the battle. In addition, the Xianbei people did not understand what military information was, and any news in the rear could spread to the entire army as soon as possible. So the entire army knew that there was danger in the rear.

Originally, it was a matter of taking over Beichuan City in one go, so that we could take care of it. This was also based on the premise that the Bohai people could hold on for a while and wait until the Xianbei people went to rescue. But now the Bohai people were too busy to take care of themselves and did not dare to compete with Su Tingxia's troops head-on. The Xianbei people did not take over Beichuan City. After a while, more and more people from the Xianbei people proposed to withdraw their troops.

Because in the eyes of most Xianbei people, the purpose of going south this time was to plunder. Now that the purpose has been achieved, it is very difficult to win a meaningless Beichuan City.

After Han Jian learned that the Xianbei people wanted to withdraw their troops, it was probably similar to what they had estimated before.

However, Han Jian could not allow the Xianbei people to return to the rescue easily, because this would lead to the encirclement of Su Tingxia's troops. At that time, Su Tingxia's troops might be destroyed.

If this is the case, if the Xianbei people take the opportunity to go south, Luoyang and Beichuan City may be out of stock.

Han Jian was also planning things and calculating various possibilities for several days.

Han Jian originally sent Su Tingxia to restrain the troops of the Bohai people and give Lin Zhan's troops a chance to fight the Xianbei people. Now it seems that he is completely simple. Su Tingxia is simply a monster on the battlefield, and once he sends troops, he has no intention of stopping. When he sent troops to the Northern King's Mansion, he won victory after victory and was uncontrollable. Now he is even more ruthless in fighting the Bohai people, and he feels like he is not caring about the past and the future.

If it were another time, Han Jian would not be happy. Where can I find such a commander with a strong momentum? But now he will have a headache when he meets a general like Su Tingxia. Now Su Tingxia's troops are already alone and even if he sends Lin Zhan to rescue, he will not be able to handle it within one or two months. Moreover, the Xianbei people have blocked the way to rescue. It can be said that Su Tingxia has no way out and can only fight all the way to the end.

Han Jian thought, if he was a Xianbei person, then he would have any questions about the way out. He might as well go around Beichuan City and go south and attack Luoyang directly. This is more secure.

Because the Xianbei people were strong, as long as they could defeat Lin Zhan's troops, they would say that they were flat after crossing the Yellow River. No one could hinder the Xianbei people's ambition to dominate the Central Plains. However, although the Xianbei people were strong, they lacked such foresight and courage. At this time, they had a little peace of mind, and they thought of retreating with the result of the battle.

Han Jian was worried that the Xianbei people would retreat because this would allow Beichuan and the territory occupied by the Xianbei people without any effort. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
