This time, Han Jian led his troops to fight, and there were not many troops. The number of troops on the front line was about 4,000. After he arrived at the front line, he would directly receive the troops led by Yang Xi. ▲∴Now Yang Xi was nominally the commander of the previous vanguard army, but the main control and dispatch of the troops were still the Han Cui and Han Zhao family. Among them, the number of troops in the Eastern Prince's Mansion was less than 6,000. The main force of the troops was the garrison troops in the surrounding cities of Luoyang, and his combat effectiveness was not high.

Most of the elite soldiers and generals of the Eastern Prince's Mansion are in Beichuan City, led by Lin Zhan, and these were cultivated after more than two years of war. However, in order to maintain the farming in Jiangdu, Lin Zhan's troops actually had only more than 20,000 elite soldiers. On the contrary, Su Tingxia's troops have many soldiers and generals, but Han Jian is unable to directly dispatch them for the time being.

In the morning, Han Jian went directly to the military camp in the city. This time the troops will set off from the inner city of Luoyang, heading straight to the west. Han Jian went outside the military camp, Da Xiliu, who was in charge of intelligence, had already been waiting for it. She also brought some information about the woman captured yesterday. Because the woman was stingy and had not received much information, she would not force the confession from the intelligence system after she was taken to the Tingwei Mansion. Han Jian knew that the matter was related to Ning Yuan and Prince Yan Ning. He did not pay too much attention to it before going to the expedition, and would not agree to the substitution transaction he proposed.

The troops were dispatched similarly. Han Jian ordered the generals and went with him to fight, but none of them had made too many military achievements before. This time he went to Guanzhong, Han Jian went to stabilize the morale of the army. His ultimate goal was to conquer the tens of thousands of troops under Su Tingxia. However, judging from the current situation, it was not easy to support this group of people, so it would be better to let them continue to use war to support the war. However, the troops could not develop in the direction of the hinterland of the Central Plains, but to enter Guanzhong. When the troops in the Eastern Prince's Mansion were with him and without him, the military appearance was also different. It was also a great encouragement for the soldiers to be able to command on the front line in person.

Han Jian didn't say much about the simple mobilization meeting before the expedition. Everyone knew that this war was not easy. This time, thousands of soldiers followed Han Jian to the west and brought some food and supplies, which were all newly recruited by Luoyang. In order to raise soldiers, Luoyang has basically not had any rest and rest in the past two years, and the people have lived a hard life. Han Jian also wanted to pacify the north as soon as possible and have more time to rest and recuperate.

Although Han Jian did not send someone to see him off, Han Song, who was in charge of the Eastern Palace after Han Jian left Luoyang, went to the city gate to see him off. Fa Yi was also here with Han Song. On weekdays, Han Song was very cold to Fa Yi, mainly because Han Jian was going to marry Fa Yi against her. But now Han Jian was going to the battlefield in person, and she felt a lot of worry. Originally, Han Jian was not going to take a female relative, but Han Song still let Fa Yi wear armor and ride a horse like a man. This is obvious. Han Song hopes that Fa can also be maintained by Han Jian. If something happens, there will be a law that can generally maintain Han Jian's safety.

It is a taboo to take women in the army, but Han Jian still agreed. He still doesn't want to be too lonely. There is a Fa Yi around him, and he can still talk about the battle situation on the front line in his spare time. He can also protect him, and he can kill many kills. However, Han Jian must keep the military confidential and not let the soldiers know that he brought women by his side. He just let Fa Yi serve in the tent as a personal follower. The people who went to war with Han Jian this time have no great achievements. They don't know Fa Yi's inner relatives like Han Jian. It also makes it easier for Fa Yi to walk inside and outside the tent.

After a hurry, the soldiers and horses began to travel west. Because they were in a hurry to rush, the soldiers and horses were moving very fast, but because they had to escort food, supplies, they were not fast. They could only travel about fifty or sixty miles a day. After all, mountain roads are not easy to walk these days, and often they need to cross mountains and ridges. In addition, the team dragged their way, so they couldn't get up even if they wanted to go fast. Unless they took off their loads and went on a light horse directly, judging by the current mental state of the people and horses and the equipment of the horses, it would be a burning fragrance to be able to walk sixty miles a day.

Because it was the first day of marching, I walked forward for about twenty miles that night before stopping to rest. It was almost midnight. In addition to camping and resting, the soldiers also had to arrange patrol matters. Except for the troops going on the battle, they should be more careful in everything.

Han Jian held a brief military meeting in the resettled central army tent and ordered the disbandment, and everyone returned to the camp to rest, so that Fa Yi came to serve him in a bath and change clothes.

The army was stationed in a valley area, and the river water was not wide. The roads on several sides of the valley were in good condition, so they were not afraid of being attacked by people. This also facilitated the soldiers to withdraw water and buried the stove.

After Han Jian finished washing, a letter came over Luoyang. Yang Rui sent him to ask him for safety. After only one day of his journey, Yang Rui seemed to be anxious to know his situation. Han Jian didn't want to reply, but when he thought that Yang Rui was pregnant, he didn't know if he could catch up with the birth of the child when he came back, he felt a little sorry for Yang Rui. After writing a few casually in the army, Han Jian asked the fast horse to go back and report it to Yang Rui.

When he returned to the tent, Fa Yi had finished bathing, but he was still wearing a military uniform and combed his hair there.

"We may have to march quickly tomorrow and strive to cross the Guhe River tomorrow. To count, we have to walk seventy or eighty miles." Han Jian said and walked forward. After all, this place is not the Eastern Prince's Mansion in Luoyang. There is no dressing table or rouge. The Dharma itself doesn't care much about these things. The Dharma also belongs to a person with a weak temperament. He never takes the initiative to ask Han Jian for anything, and is more like a passive recipient. However, occasionally Han Jian will still give her some "surprise" and slowly change her character of being indifferent to desirelessness.

"Yeah." Fa Yi just responded. For her, she followed the army no matter how many miles it was. She also rode a horse on the end of the day. For her, who used to be on the back of a horse, these were nothing, but Han Jian was not in such a good state. After all, Han Jian was not used to riding a horse, and his body was almost a bit disintegrating after all.

"If it doesn't work, it's better to take a carriage tomorrow." Han Jian opened Suijun's bedding, which was all smoked by Gu Xiner. Knowing the hardships on the road, the women at home were also very concerned about him. Although they were wearing armor along the way and had to face possible wars at any time, there were many clothes inside.

Fa Yi said: "I can't stand it in just one day, so why not just turn the slightest way back?"

Han Jian smiled and said, "Even Yier, you joked about me like this. It's because I think things are too simple. Everything is good at home, but it's difficult to go out for a while. If I encounter any enemy attacks the camp again, I'm really afraid that I can't hold on."

As he said that, Fa Yi had already come to serve Han Jiankuanyi.

Han Jian was not busy resting. He also had to sort out the future march route map and lead troops out of the expedition. He had to find out the situation along the way, which was related to his life. He had to pay attention to it. On the way, there were more people in charge of intelligence than the main forces of the central army he led. Within more than 100 miles of the military camp, there were a large number of scouts investigating the situation, and there would be people spying on the intelligence a hundred miles away. In order not to be too ostentatious, they could not disturb some local prefectures. Generally speaking, the journey was very troublesome.

When Han Jian was about to go to bed, it was almost dawn. Han Jian didn't sleep, and Fa Yi didn't sleep. Instead, he stayed by Han Jian and kept taking care of him, serving tea and water. Han Jian finally felt that he had made the right choice and staying with Fa Yi was really much more comfortable. If he didn't even have someone to care about himself, he would be depressed as he marched all the way.

The next morning, Han Jian really got into the carriage, but Fa Yi wanted to ride a horse and follow the army.

By noon, because the weather had already started to be hot, Han Jian specially asked the soldiers to rest for two hours before marching. However, the soldiers had to go at night, and they could only stay until midnight. At this time, the Guhe River had already crossed and had already walked more than a hundred miles in two days. Although there was still a distance from the front line, Luoyang and Guanzhong themselves were not far away, so they could continue to move at this speed. They could reach the front line battlefield in four or five days to meet Yang Xi and Han Zhao and Han Cui.

After two days of march, the situation in the rear gradually spread to Han Jian. After he left Luoyang, Luoyang was generally stable, and Yang Rui still didn't ask about the affairs of the court, and everything was handled by the Shangshutai. Han Song did not make any trouble with the court in the past two days, and everything was done step by step. Because the troops in Yuzhou had been withdrawn to the jurisdiction of the Nanwang Mansion, even if they were to attack Luoyang again, it would take time to make Han Jian be prepared. Han Jian's most fear was that some generals from the court faction came out to cause trouble after he left, but it seemed that because these people did not have actual military power, there was no movement for the time being after he left.

The next night, Han Jian didn't have to do too much homework and had time to accompany Fa Yi. Perhaps because Fa Yi was a little tired these two days, he couldn't stand it very early.

Han Jian asked Fa Yi to fall asleep first, and then he got up and sent several letters to Lin Zhan in the north. Now after he left, only Lin Zhan's troops could take into account the situation in the north and the situation in Luoyang. Although Lin Zhan's troops did not have many people and had to take into account the defenses of both Beiguan and Beichuan at the same time, Han Jian was still afraid that he would not be able to deal with it when something happened. He informed Lin Zhan of the detailed situation, which fully demonstrated his trust in this brother-in-law.

On the third day of the march, Han Jian directly asked Fa Yi to rest in the carriage. Naturally, others would not know why an ordinary personal soldier could get the privilege of resting in the carriage. Han Jian didn't need to explain anything to others. Outsiders only regarded Fa as an injury. Han Jian also had to gradually adapt to life on the horse's back. Sometimes he himself was too pampered, just like leading troops to fight. As the King of the East, this was a basic compulsory course, but he was still used to remote control and letting the soldiers under his command work.

Originally, the march was smooth sailing, but an accident happened on the afternoon of the third day. First, a heavy rain blocked the way. At night, the mountain torrent was very serious and had to change the way. After less than an hour of walking, we encountered the trouble of the enemy. Originally, the front line from Luoyang to Guanzhong was quite stable, but some of the remaining soldiers from the Xiwangfu did not retreat to Guanzhong, but became local bandits. In this way, the thousands of soldiers and horses brought by Han Jian had to shoulder the task of suppressing bandits.

The enemy was a group of bandits, with their combat power and weapons very backward, but Han Jian was not much better. He was originally not familiar with the night marching army, and it was raining and the soldiers were distracted. At this time, he suddenly had to be energetic and fought. Not to mention the soldiers were scared, even Han Jian felt that the battle was mysterious. Fortunately, there were not many bandits, and there were only one hundred people in total. He sent two teams to separate the bandits. It was obvious that the bandits saw that they were regular soldiers.

He also wanted to escape in a hurry, but was ambushed by ambushers set up in the woods in advance. Except for a few people who escaped, most of the bandits were either killed or captured. Han Jian had no intention of paying attention to these prisoners of war, so he simply killed all of them in front of the formation, and regarded them as eating meat for the soldiers of the entire army, so that they could know what the bleeding on the front line was. Although Han Jian also knew that the impact of this kind of killing chickens to warn the monkeys on the soldiers was not as real as it was.

Han Jian also praised the two teams of troops who annihilated the bandits, which was also an incentive for the whole army. Because rain and mountain torrents blocked the road, and annihilated a bandits, the soldiers and horses did not set off after noon on the fourth day. At this time, the sun was already shining brightly, but it seemed that the road west of Luoyang was still very difficult to walk.

At night, the troops were stationed early to rest. When they were late, they were resting early. At this time, the information came from the west first. Han Zhao brought 500 cavalry to pick up Han Jian, which was also a way for Han Jian to come. When the army was stationed, people came to reward the army, but local officials learned from somewhere that Han Jian personally led the troops to fight. They were afraid that they would be blamed by Han Jian for turning around. They specially asked people to send some pigs, cattle and sheep so that the army could slaughter and reward the three armies.

Han Jian personally met the special envoy who came to reward the army. There was nothing to be seen, but Han Jian always felt that it was rare to send things from the local area. Everyone knew that the local area was tightening its belt and living, even if these pigs, cattle and sheep were snatched from the people by local officials, he accepted it. After all, the morale of the entire army is not very high now. With these meat foods to reward, it can improve the morale among the army.

Han Jian asked the local special envoys in detail, and only then did he know that Su Tingxia's troops had severely destroyed the northern generation of the Yellow River. Some prefectures and counties even treated Su Tingxia's troops as enemies to guard against them. Even the prefectures and counties on the southern line of the Yellow River did not dare to open the city gates, so as not to suddenly attack the city by Su Tingxia's troops and kill and loot. Han Jian did not expect that the official army he cultivated became the bandits in the eyes of the local area.
