Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth battle to lure the enemy

Daxiliu saluted respectfully and said, "I wonder what the young master summoned his subordinates late at night?"

Although Daxi Liu is always in a state of high alert, she is only responsible for the intelligence system and does not belong to the internal supervision system. She cannot get involved in many things in the Eastern Prince's Army, unless Han Jian's special military order is required. As for Yi Die, she was originally a very important person in charge of Yang Rui's intelligence system, but after she was captured and then occupied by Han Jian forcibly, although she could still walk freely, she had lost the trust of her colleagues. Now Yi Die is more doing nothing, and she knows nothing about many things in the imperial system.

Han Jian said: "There may be chaos in the city today. You can send people to transfer the night-time people from Wu'an Station. As for the military station, you don't have to worry about it. Alternately transfer 500 followers and be ready to take over the South Gate of Luoyang at any time."

Daxi Liu was slightly shocked. How could Han Jian use her intelligence system to receive the city gate? I thought, could the city gate be coveted and was threatened at the moment? Think again, the troops of Zhennanhou are now stationed in the south of Luoyang City. If someone wants to cooperate with Zhennanhou's troops, they will definitely use the south gate of the city as a breakthrough. She immediately caught the key point, and someone wanted to take advantage of the emperor's wedding with the East King to open the city to welcome the enemy.

"Subordinate to obey the order!" Daxi Liu took the order and hurried away, while Yi Die stood there. She had no idea why Han Jian asked her to come.

Everyone left, Han Jian waved his hand and signaled Yi Die to go inside to speak. Yi Die paused for a moment before walking into the palace gate. When he arrived at the palace gate, a guard immediately closed the palace gate. Han Jian and Yi Die went up the city tower at the south gate together, overlooking the dark street below.

"I know why I asked you to come?" Han Jian said coldly.

Yi Die did not answer. For her, the whole of Luoyang is now a big cage, even if she still has some freedom. However, under Han Jian's strict order, she had to go back to the villa set up for her to rest every day, just like a concubine who was waiting for the imperial edict. She knew very well that Han Jian would not go there often, and even so she still had to wait there every day, and she could not even leave the door. This was the condition for her to protect the internal affairs system of the court. Han Jian used this as a threat to her, which forced her to obey. Although she made great sacrifices for this, the people in the court did not appreciate it, but instead regarded her as a traitor. She had no choice but to participate in many things, and she was even on guard against her. Yi Die knew very well that this was the sorrow of being a woman.

Han Jian glanced at Yi Die, who was a little sad, and said, "I know that you have felt wronged these days and are not good inside and outside. You may hate me, thinking that I deliberately made you neglected by the people of the court. You don't need to hate me. I will not allow the enemy to be by my side. Isn't this a disaster for raising a tiger? Since you stayed, you still want to do something for the court. I will give you a chance today."

"I don't understand what Your Highness said." Yi Die said coldly.

Han Jian said: "Today some people are preparing to be unfavorable to the court, but now few people find it. Even His Majesty knows something, don't you?"

Yi Die was shocked. Even the emperor knew nothing but she didn't inform her. But she remained calm and didn't tell her, and there was no other reason except not trusting her. Since others did not trust her, why should she ask with a shameless face? Do you also want her enemy Han Jian to tell her the truth?

"This time, Zhennan Hou's troops were pressing into Luoyang. There was no reason before. The imperial court sent people to question him and it was all over the sea. No one who went there would return. You must be clear about this." Han Jian said, "But you don't know that Zhennan Hou's troops did not dare to advance to Luoyang because Zhennan Hou was afraid."

Yi Die couldn't help but prick up her ears. Although she wanted to persuade herself not to pay attention, Han Jian was talking about what she had done more than ten years ago. How could she stop? She had developed a professional habit and had to investigate this kind of confidential information clearly when encountering such confidential information.

"After King Nan left Luoyang, he did not return to the Zhennan Marquis army, but was captured by the Eastern Prince's Mansion." Han Jian said.

"Ah?" Yi Die was shocked. Before the Southern King fled to Luoyang, what a big deal, the court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion were trying hard to find it. But after all, the Zhennan Marquis had already overwhelmed the city. If the Southern King fled, the Eastern Prince's Mansion would have no choice but to do so. He had never heard of the whereabouts of the Southern Prince, so how could he be suddenly captured by the Eastern Prince's Mansion?

"Don't you believe me?" Han Jian sneered.

"I dare not." Yi Die saluted a little. Although she was suspicious in her heart, she thought carefully that if the King of Southern escaped and was captured, the King of Eastern might send out messages to confuse others. But now she is not a person inside and outside, and no one will use her again. What's the point of deceiving her?

Han Jian said: "Mr. Lin and his party were personally sent to the Zhennan Marquis' army by His Majesty. After that, although Mr. Lin had not been able to return, he secretly sent someone to report that the Zhennan Marquis's army was not in the army. Do you know why?"

Yi Die frowned and said, "Why is Zhennan Marquis not in the army?"

"This is the key to the problem." Han Jian looked into the distance and said, "Because Zhennan Hou was afraid of the Southern Dynasty's troops and horses oppressing Yuzhou, he had to go back to preside over the overall situation in person, so he secretly left the army and returned to Yuzhou. Yuzhou lacked the King of Southern to be the backbone. If Zhennan Hou did not go back, who would be expected to guard Yuzhou? At the critical moment, Zhennan Hou could also distinguish priorities. Although he obeyed the order of the Southern King and planned to the Luoyang court, he did not dare to lose the base camp."

"What the King of Dong said is the implication!?" Yi Die had already heard that this time it seemed that it was not someone who wanted to covet Luoyang City, but that the King of Dong was coveting the military camp of Nanhou, Zhen outside the city.

"I am going to send troops to lift the threat from the Yuzhou military camp outside the city in one fell swoop." Han Jian said.

Yi Die seemed a little anxious and said, "Your Highness should think twice. Now everything is just a rumor. I don't know if Zhennan Hou has really returned to Yuzhou. Even if he goes back, he must be prepared for the city and may take the initiative and be prepared. If there is any mistake in this battle, Luoyang will be in danger. On the contrary, it is better to wait for reinforcements from the north. The troops in Yuzhou will inevitably retreat without fighting."

Han Jian smiled and looked at Yi Die and said, "It seems that you are still very concerned about the current situation in Luoyang."

Yi Die lowered her head when she heard this, but she was thinking in her heart, so what if she cares about it? The King of Dong just covets her beauty and will not use it heavily for her. Because of the King of Dong, she became an enemy in the eyes of people in the court system. Now she has no reason to care. After all, the good or bad situation in Luoyang has nothing to do with her.

"Envoy Yibuku, there is a military order here. Please take it to Wu'an." Han Jian suddenly took out a warrant and handed it to Yi Die. "Before tomorrow morning, you will personally lead all the troops and horses from the southeast side to the ribs of the Yuzhou soldiers and horses. If you succeed, you should not fight for a long time. You can quickly withdraw to Buyanshan. Someone will answer you at that time."

Yi Die received the military order but was at a loss. "Two ministers" like her are also qualified to lead troops? She only has the experience of being responsible for the intelligence system, but has no actual experience in leading troops. Even if she wants to take people on missions, she will never exceed 100 people at once. But this time Han Jian gave her a town of soldiers, with about 3,000 soldiers. These are the backbone of defense in the city.

"Your Highness is not afraid of me..." Yi Die didn't continue because she felt she couldn't even say it.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Are you afraid that you will betray you, secretly plotting against Luoyang? Do you doubt people, and you will not doubt people. You are also thinking about the court. Now Zhennan Hou's troops are threatening Luoyang. They are also threatening the court. You are doing things for the court, which is your responsibility. If you are worried about you because of this, how many people in the court need me to worry about?"

Yi Die wanted to say, how can this be the same? The people in the imperial court had no military power at all. Although there were not many soldiers and horses, if she led the troops to rebel from the inside, it would be a force that could not be ignored. Moreover, she was very familiar with the garrison and patrol in the city. It was easier to attack Luoyang.

"Go, come back early. I'm waiting for you to come back in the military tent." Han Jian suddenly said generously.

Yi Die thought of the meaning of Han Jian's words. She is now a general when she goes to war. When she returns to the military tent, she is just a woman next to Han Jian. Han Jian's words are like a pun. Although she is reluctant to accept these two identities at the same time, she thinks that Luoyang is in danger and may be in the past night, she also feels that she has the responsibility to take it. Even if she is scolded for colluding with the Eastern Prince's Mansion?

"I... I will receive the order!"

Yi Die hurriedly wanted to take the Bingbing Talis to leave, but Han Jian smiled and said, "Let me find someone to accompany you."

Yi Die then remembered her identity. If she had just taken the military order to dispatch troops in the military camp, who would have listened to her in her previous identity? It would be different if Han Jian sent someone to go with her. Han Jian also summoned several generals in advance. Now he was at the gate of the palace. Han Jian sent them as Yi Die's left and right hands. Seeing the torch away like this, Han Jian also felt sad to send his relatives to the battlefield.

Han Jian came down from the city tower and immediately explained to the few generals summoned. Yi Die led the troops and horses along the way were not vanguards, and there were not many defenders in the city. If he sent troops to encircle and annihilate the troops in Yuzhou, the defense in the city would be empty. Han Jian had to rely on only those defenders in the city patrol yamen who could not even get the table to guard Luoyang. Everything should be reasonable and not doubtful. Otherwise, Su Tingxia's soldiers, who are only two hundred miles away from Luoyang, would be the first to take advantage of the situation.

After a general strategy, the generals summoned were a little surprised. Han Jian's intention was to lure the enemy out first and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Young Master, is this... Is it a little more dangerous?" a general mentioned it in person.

Han Jian smiled and said, "We are seeking wealth and honor in danger. Now Luoyang is in trouble with internal and external troubles. If we cannot inspire people with a victory, how can it be convincing? Although Yuzhou was once loyal to the court, he now dared to have bad intentions in Luoyang behind his back. Now is the best time to make Yuzhou afraid to have any more delusions in Luoyang, or is it that some of you have some connections with Yuzhou?"

Han Jian said it very coldly, and the generals immediately saluted and expressed their loyalty.

Han Jian immediately made an explanation, reducing the garrison at the south gate of the city, and then sent some people to recruit troops and horses, ready to go out of the city to fight. The troops and horses were going out from the east and west gates, which was to avoid the suspicion of the troops and horses of Zhennanhou. When the troops and horses in Yuzhou got the news and advanced to Luoyang, the rear would inevitably be empty, which gave the Dongwang Army a chance.

Everything was arranged, and only the only thing left was to make the soldiers of Zhennan Hou believe. I think Zhennan Hou would have to explain before returning to Yuzhou, that is, he should not act rashly. But now everyone knows that Han Jian and Yang Rui had a wedding that night. Anyone who wants to make achievements will not miss such a good opportunity. Han Jian was equivalent to taking advantage of people's psychology. He was afraid that someone would covet Luoyang City, so he would give these people a chance. He knew that Yuzhou must have bribed some people in the city and let these people pass the message out. One or two outside the city must think that there was a fraud, but if there were too many people passing the message out, three of them would become tigers, and they would not be afraid that Zhennan Hou's army would not be trapped.

At this time, it was just midnight, and Han Jian had only half an hour of transferring his troops. Han Jian was unable to stop the enemy from rushing the enemy and did not dispatch himself. He used not many troops. There were nearly 30,000 troops stationed in the city, most of which were new soldiers and garrison troops. This was also the only remaining soldiers and horses in the city after Yang Xi led his troops to the expedition. These soldiers and horses themselves lacked practical experience and could only be regarded as garrison troops at most. I believe that even the Marquis of Zhennan himself would not believe that Han Jian dared to do this.

He sent troops without combat effectiveness to shake his elite troops who had been through the battle formation. Moreover, what Han Jian assigned was only some of the people who were still resting in the military camp, with a total of more than 13,000 people. As for the troops stationed in the city gates, in order to avoid any abnormal movements by the Zhennan Hou's troops, he simply did not send military orders. Anyway, the city was under martial law, and the city gates would not open under normal circumstances. This means that there was no need to issue military orders, and the city gates in the city were already on high alert.

After midnight, news came back outside the city, saying that there were already vanguard troops coming to the south of Luoyang City in the Zhennan Hou military camp. This shows that before he came out of the palace, someone had secretly contacted the troops from Yuzhou outside the city. He wanted to take advantage of the wedding of Han Jian and Yang Rui to be unfavorable to Luoyang. Now what Han Jian has to do is to promote the fire, and let more people release the empty wind of the city's defense, and even storm the weaknesses of defense in Luoyang City.

Let the Zhennan Hou's troops be true. In order to make Zhennan Hou believe, Han Jian even did not hesitate to guard the city gate with some generals who were related to it. Even if Zhennan Hou's troops came over, they would believe that all this was the fact. When Zhennan Hou's troops were about to cross the moat, they would take control of the city gate with thunder, forcing Zhennan Hou's troops to withdraw their troops. Only then could the ambush troops wait for an opportunity to attack Zhennan Hou's military camp.

The plan is good, but there are still many uncertainties to be implemented. The most critical point is how to use more than 10,000 troops to shake the 30,000 elite troops in Zhennanhou’s troops. If there is a loss in this battle, Luoyang will only be in a passive situation of being beaten in a short period of time, and even the troops in the Western Expedition will probably be transferred back.
