Chapter 635 Defeat (2)
"What are the trends on the Xianbei people?" Yang Rui saw that Han Jian's face was a little deeper, so he turned to the topic.
Han Jian said: "Su Tingxia's new troops were defeated soon. Even if the Xianbei people would do something, it would be difficult to spread to Luoyang within one or two days. If you want to know, just send someone to the north to investigate."
Yang Rui frowned and said, "Why are you angry about discussing military information with you at this time? Can't we talk well between husband and wife?"
"You know we are husband and wife, too?"
Han Jian stared at Yang Rui. Yang Rui was originally looking at Han Jian, but after looking at each other for a while, he avoided his eyes. She also knew that she was in a bad mood now, and there was bad news about Yang Xiuxiu during the day and the bad news of the frontline defeat at night. She was also unable to calm down now.
"If you have anything, let's talk about it tomorrow. I will go back to the military office first."
After Han Jian said that, he left directly. Yang Rui wanted to lose his temper and had nowhere to vent.
All night, Han Jian was in the military office. He also had no rest for a night, and the generals and guards from the Luoyang Military Office.
In the morning, Han Jian temporarily let the people who had the one-night meeting go back to rest. Since he was not ready to send troops to rescue Su Tingxia's troops, he would not use them to kill the enemy except to discuss the frontline with his subordinates.
By the morning, Lin Zhan had sent people to send back the latest information from the north. This information was not sent back by Su Tingxia, but was found by the intelligence system of Lin Zhan's troops.
After Han Jian read it, he felt that Su Tingxia's defeat might be a deceptive defeat. Perhaps only one or two men of Su Tingxia's troops encountered some difficulties, and the battle with the Silla Bohai coalition forces was damaged, but the main force of Su Tingxia's troops was not injured.
After all, the Bohai people were fooled by Su Tingxia's previous fierce attack, so they had no idea about the military appearance and number of soldiers of Su Tingxia's troops. In order to make this scene more realistic, Su Tingxia even reported the war report to the court to exaggerate the losses of the defeat. The information intercepted by the Xianbei people on the way should be in this regard.
"Su Tingxia is brave enough."
When she returned to the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Han Jian and Fa Yi were together. In the mansion, Yang Xun'er originally liked to discuss military affairs with Han Jian the most. But after Yang Xun'er gave birth, she was all about the child. Han Jian said anything that she was tired or said such words tomorrow to make excuses. Since then, Han Jian has discussed these with Fa Yi more often.
Fa also comes from the secret spy system under the court system. Although Fa is not very familiar with human relationships and worldly affairs, he still has his own opinions on the analysis of wars and war reports. Han Jian also discussed with Fa Yi and wanted to look at some issues more thoroughly. Perhaps in the process of speaking, some ideas will suddenly become clear, and when he thinks about it, he will always be unable to understand it.
Fa Yi heard what Han Jian said and shook his head slightly, "Are he afraid that the Xianbei people will send troops to the Bohai Sea after they learn the news?"
"So he is brave enough." Han Jian said this and was a little puzzled. "Logically speaking, if he wants to be defeated, he should try his best to make the Bohai and Silla believe it. Even if he sends people to send back the news, he doesn't have to be so roundabout. Or, his goal from the beginning is the Xianbei people."
Fa Yi was slightly stunned, and he couldn't quite understand Han Jian's meaning.
Han Jian stood up and thought for a while. He said, "Su Tingxia wanted to use the transmission of news, which made the Xianbei people think that he had nowhere to survive in the Bohai Sea. In this way, the Xianbei people would definitely send troops to the Bohai Sea."
Fa Yi was still surprised when he heard Han Jian say this. She was originally worried that the Xianbei people would go to rescue the Bohai Kingdom, which would cause Su Tingxia's troops to be attacked from front to back. But when Han Jian said this, Su Tingxia did this as if she was deliberately luring the Xianbei people to the Bohai Sea, which made her feel incredible.
"I finally understand why he had to move slowly and arrange defenses before." Han Jian suddenly became enlightened about some things.
When Su Tingxia first entered the Bohai Kingdom, she marched very quickly, and the Bohai army was fighting all over the ground for teeth. But in this situation, Su Tingxia slowed down her advance. At that time, Han Jian thought that it might be because Su Tingxia's army was short of food and supplies, and had to slow down. But Su Tingxia's army had been building city defenses, which surprised him a little.
Thinking about it now, perhaps at that time, Su Tingxia felt that the Bohai Kingdom would not be an obstacle to his army. It is easy to enter the temple and it is difficult to leave the temple. Even if the Bohai Kingdom wins triumphantly, he still has to face the problem of returning to Korea. However, the Xianbei cavalry has basically withdrawn from the surrounding areas of Beichuan to the Beiguan line, just like opening his pockets to wait for him to withdraw his troops. Now the Bohai people and the Silla people jointly sent troops to recover their lost territory, Su Tingxia simply used the tricks and sent troops to defraud them of defeat. Not only did the Bohai people's Silla people be arrogant, but the Xianbei people also thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. When the Xianbei people sent troops to advance eastward, it was also the time when Su Tingxia's troops fought against the Xianbei people.
Han Jian left Fa Yishi and went straight to the military place.
The purpose of his trip this time was very simple. He originally did not intend to let Lin Zhan's troops involve the Bohai Sea. Now it seems that he must also beware of some emergencies.
Regardless of whether the Xianbei people advanced eastward to rescue the Bohai Kingdom, the Xianbei people now must have thought that Su Tingxia's army was in chaos, or that they would withdraw their troops and pass the Beiguan and return to the Wei Dynasty soon. It might be that they opened their pockets and waited for Su Tingxia to withdraw their troops.
In this way, Han Jian could arrange a large game of chess. With the Great Wall line as the central axis, Su Tingxia's troops in the north and Lin Zhan's troops in the south, he might as well attack the Xianbei people on both sides. This may be a bit dangerous for the Wei Dynasty, which had not yet solved the problem of the Northern King's Mansion. After all, Beichuan City has not been cut, and the Northern King's Mansion may have a chance to rekindle. But Han Jian felt that the Xianbei people were the biggest concern in front of him.
General Han Jian ordered him to go to Lin Zhan's army. With Han Jian's order, Lin Zhan would personally lead some of his troops to the direction of Beiguan to start a direct battle with the Xianbei people.
Regardless of the victory or loss of the battle, the main purpose is to let Su Tingxia's troops know that the rear was ready to respond, so that in the absence of communication, a pincer attack on the Xianbei people could be launched.
...
...
The military order was issued, and the rest was to wait for the result. Han Jian still felt uneasy in his heart. Things were a bit risky, but wealth and honor were sought in danger. He seemed to have only the only way to calm the troubles in the north. A quick battle and quick decision would also be beneficial to the Eastern Palace.
It is unfavorable to delay for a long time.
By the second day, no new news came from Bohai. However, another person who escorted Yang Yu and some traitors of the imperial court had arrived outside Luoyang City.
What Han Jian was most afraid of was that Yang Rui was soft-hearted towards Yang Yu, but Yang Yu was indeed soft-hearted. In the morning, Han Jian sent someone to transfer Yang Yu and others. Some traitors who followed Yang Yu north were all escorted to the Ministry of Justice prison first, but Han Jian did not make any embarrassment for Yang Yu's family. Han Jian asked someone to temporarily resettle Yang Yu's family and take care of him under house arrest, and then escorted Yang Yu to the palace.
Han Jian did not go in person, and he did not want to see Yang Rui and Yang Yu faced the situation again.
Mainly, Han Jian didn't want to put too much pressure on Yang Rui. If he went there, Yang Rui would think that he could not tolerate Yang Yu. But as for Yang Yu's rebellion, Yang Yu was just being used, and now Yang Yu is like a dog with a broken family, a bit pitiful.
"The pitiful person must have something hateful." Han Jian was still reading the battle report on the front line and wanted to detect some clues. But after he asked someone to escort Yang Yu into the palace, he still couldn't calm down.
He didn't want to go to the palace at that time, but at this time, he also wanted to go and have a look.
Originally, he also wanted to go to the palace to report military information to Yang Rui every day. At this time, Yang Yu was escorted back to Luoyang, so it was reasonable for him to go and see it.
But when he arrived at the palace gate, he saw a carriage that had just left the palace gate. Han Jian looked at the soldiers escorted around him and knew that it was Yang Yu's carriage. Yang Yu must have just come out of the palace and was escorted directly to his family and under house arrest together.
Han Jianxin said, will Yang Rui meet this "good brother" so soon?
When Han Jian entered the door, he saw Yang Rui lowering his head and feeling depressed. Even when Han Jian entered the door, she seemed to have no idea and still looked down at something, but there was only a tablecloth in front of her, and there was nothing on it.
"Please greet your Majesty." Although there were no palace maids or eunuchs around, Han Jian still greeted him, as if he was reminding Yang Rui that he was coming.
Yang Rui still didn't look up and said listlessly: "What are you asking for peace? I'm uneasy. Should I turn my head and greet you for your husband?"
"What are you saying?"
Han Jian sat down on the chair beside him and looked around. It seemed that there was no trace of Yang Yu's visit. Maybe Yang Rui just saw him casually and did not let Yang Yu stay in the palace for a long time.
"Have you seen it?" Han Jian asked.
Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said, "The person was outside for more than half an hour and kept kneeling. Later, he asked someone to send him back. I don't want to see him."
"Do you don't want to see me or dare not see me?" Han Jian continued to ask.
Yang Rui raised his head and said a little annoyed: "You have to reveal the disguise on my body before you feel good, right? You also know that I was uneasy because of his affairs. He wanted to usurp the throne, but he didn't kill me in the end. You asked me to kill my own brother now, how do you tell me how to do it?"
Han Jian didn't agree with it.
The reason why Yang Yu did not kill Yang Rui immediately was because the time for Yang Yu to ascend the throne was not ripe.
At that time, Yang Rui had a good control over the court. Most of the civil servants and generals were devoted to Yang Rui, but they did not have much loyalty to Yang Yu, who was born in the third prince. At that time, the forces behind Yang Yu were just the remnants of the Northern Prince's Palace after two baptisms. Yang Yu suppressed Yang Rui with chronic poison and put Yang Rui under house arrest, and was also to kill her when the time was right and plot against the throne.
Now that Yang Rui's words came to Yang Yu's good intentions. How could Han Jian agree with this?
"No one asked you to kill him." Han Jian said, "I didn't agree before that you would let you do whatever you want. You don't have to care about my thoughts."
Yang Rui said angrily: "But he was kneeling outside, and I felt that he deserved to die now. He should have killed him!"
