It is not strange that Han Jian wants to pacify Jiangbei in one fell swoop. Now Han Jian says it in front of the two, and knows that they are incompatible. Needless to say, only one of them will be able to be reused by the Eastern Palace after the matter is completed.

Although Li Yun was not as good as Mrs. Luo in terms of wealth, she was quick-witted and asked immediately: "I wonder what your subordinates should do?"

Mrs. Luo couldn't help but feel annoyed. She had already done things before, but now she only wanted to show her loyalty in front of Han Jian. She couldn't help but curse Li Yun in her heart.

Han Jian picked up the roster, but tore the book out of the middle and divided it into two and a half books. Han Jian said, "There are some people here, and I need you to do something. You have nothing to do with each other. In short, if things are done, there is only one person who can be the King of Xiliang. There is no need to say much about the rest. If it is not done well, we will not have to meet again in the future."

Mrs. Luo and Li Yun were both nervous. They just knew it was a list, and they didn't know who they listed. They didn't know what they wanted to do now. However, when they heard that "King of Xiliang" had a little stir, which involved the issue of power competition. Now Han Jian clearly asked her and the two of them to compete. In short, one person would win, and the previous efforts of the failed party would be wasted, as if all the efforts of this life were successful or failure.

"Take it."

Han Jian put two rosters on the table, and got up and left, not even explaining what they wanted to do.

In fact, there are some things that need not be explained too much. Mrs. Luo and Li Yun are both middle-aged people from the old Xiliang family and are quite familiar with the system of the Xiwangfu. As long as they see the names of the people above, they can probably guess what Han Jian wants to do. The above list is nothing more than some "important figures" under the Xiwangfu system, from civil officials to military generals, to counselors and even some in-laws who hope that Yang Pingju. Han Jian gave them to them, which means they were asked to "do things", either assassinate or bribe them. Han Jian obviously would not let them kill all the listed people on the list, which completely depends on whether what they did would help the court to send troops to Guanzhong. Whoever made great contributions would naturally be the winner of this narrow encounter.

Mrs. Luo and Li Yun each took half of the book and did not know much about the list of people listed on each other. No matter how detailed the list is, they will not list everyone on it. As for what to do, they will naturally have to ask someone to discuss it clearly when they go back.

On the way to the military office, Han Jian left his secret residence and went to the military office, he was also wondering whether it would be inappropriate to hand over these tasks to Mrs. Luo and Li Yun.

Now that he has not released the news of the attack on Guanzhong, he will let the people of the world know that the court has this trend. He does not intend to hide the attack on Guanzhong. Because he needs to build momentum, get the response from the people, and use it to stabilize the hearts of the people. However, he sent the task to Mrs. Luo and Li Yun in advance. It is one aspect to let them do things, but he does not expect this. He means more to test. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish who is good or bad, but who is loyal or not will be scattered at critical moments, and it will be very obvious when doing such shameful things.

When he arrived at the military office, Han Jian sent a call to the military generals in Luoyang and held a brief meeting. The meeting was the last meeting before the New Year. In addition to explaining some daily defense issues in Luoyang, he also officially conveyed the news that he was about to attack Guanzhong in winter. Unexpectedly, the generals were stunned.

It was finally easy for the north to make a slight assessment, and even said that it had not been settled yet. The Xianbei people had just retreated. It was only a few days before. There was still not much news from Su Tingxia's troops in the Bohai Kingdom, which means that the war is still ongoing. Whether the war or reconciliation after Su Tingxia's troops returned has not yet been settled. It will take a certain amount of time for northern cities to accept, and Beichuan City to capture the final attack. At this time, it is suddenly said that they will send troops to attack Guanzhong immediately, which is naturally incredible. The steps are very big and easy to pull the eggs.

But Han Jian's attitude was very clear, obviously not a joke. He said it, just to let the following execution instead of discussing it.

Han Jian has established enough prestige in the military and political system in the past two years. In addition, there are no generals in Luoyang who can challenge Han Jian for qualifications. At this time, some veterans would rather go to Han Song to complain than openly oppose Han Jian. Those generals and officials from the court factions with a clear attitude towards opposing Han Jian were not invited by Han Jian this time, and they could not touch the door if they wanted to raise objections.

But when Han Jian finished the news, the meeting was not long after the meeting ended. Before Han Jian could return to the Eastern Palace, the palace was already anxious to send someone to spread the word and let Han Jian enter the palace. At this time, Han Song also greeted him in person, needless to say, asking about sending troops to Guanzhong.

"Jian'er, don't rush to enter the palace, let's explain it clearly first." Han Song's attitude was obviously bad when he saw Han Jian. "It's only been two days since the soldiers and horses in the north have not yet retreated. Why do you want to attack Guanzhong? Are you crazy or do you think that the Eastern Palace is now full of soldiers and food, and can take care of several parties at the same time?"

"What does Yi Er Niang mean?" Han Jian did not enter the mansion because the people from the palace were still waiting outside. He wanted to enter the palace to tell Yang Rui about this at any time.

Han Song was a little angry because Han Jian had never discussed it with her before, but now when she felt that the palace had not received any news in advance, she felt a little more uncomfortable. At least it was that Han Jian did not discuss everything with Yang Rui, and he still did his own thing.

"When the northern troops retreat, we will make a long-term plan." Han Song said angrily.

Han Jian sighed, "Then the second wife just wait. Now the important task of guarding the border in the north can you still count on the Northern Prince's Mansion? The border has been destroyed by the Xianbei people, but my Eastern Prince's Mansion can only take over the repair and control the border. In this way, the northern army is still insufficient, so why are there any remaining troops sent back to capture Guanzhong?"

"Then what do you rely on to attack Guanzhong..." Han Song's pitch was a little higher, but when he thought that he would be heard by the people from the palace when he was at the gate of the mansion, he lowered his voice and said, "Are you going to be ready to mobilize troops from Jiangdu? It will take at least two or three months to mobilize troops. In addition, it will take more than half a year to attack Guanzhong. At that time, whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the Xianbei people attacking, you will ignore Luoyang and Jiang?"

Han Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Who said he wanted to conquer Guanzhong? He had to withdraw his troops from the north or dispatch troops from Jiangdu? Is there no other troops in the court?"

Han Song was surprised and asked, "Where did you transfer troops from?"

Han Jian said: "Go to the palace to meet the saint, let's talk about what's going on when you come back. Er Niang first puts her heart back in her stomach. Since she has made this decision, there must be a proper way to deal with it."

Han Song frowned. Now it was obvious that Han Jian was holding her appetite and refused to say it. But it was inappropriate to question him in person at a place outside the mansion, but he glared at Han Jian and watched him head towards the palace with the people from the palace.

After entering the palace, Han Jian went directly to Ye'an Pavilion. It was as convenient as she went to the palace to follow his own house. When she arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Rui sat there in casual clothes. Her clothes were very loose, obviously for pregnant women. It was different from her usual clothes for the Ye'an Pavilion.

No one else was there. When Yang Rui saw Han Jianlai, he shut down the palace maid and eunuch as usual. As soon as the person left, Yang Rui immediately stood up and said, "Can't you save some attention? I was still busy handling the New Year's affairs, but why did he suddenly say something about attacking Guanzhong? Do you think there are too many soldiers and food? Or do you want to let the news out to fight the ** formation?"

Han Jian smiled. Yang Rui thought that things were much more rigorous than Han Song's. Yang Rui immediately considered emitting smoke, while Han Song was still struggling with the question of where to send troops.

"Thinking about it, it's time to fight. If Guanzhong does not go down after the beginning of spring, the Xianbei people will invade the south in large numbers. I'm afraid Luoyang will not be able to protect it at that time." Han Jian said.

"I'm afraid there's no chance to attack Guanzhong in the beginning of spring, right?" Yang Rui frowned, "It's only two or three months at most. The war in the Northern Palace has not yet been completely calm, so you want to leave so quickly. Are you not afraid that the people from the Western Palace will take the initiative to send troops out to bite you?"

"That's the best." Han Jian smiled.

Yang Rui frowned again. Thinking about the situation now, although Luoyang's defense is a little empty, it seems that the attack from the Western Prince's Mansion is better than the Eastern Prince's Mansion to actively send troops in. This is mainly determined by the situation around Luoyang.

The soldiers of the Southern Prince's Mansion have not continued to move north for a long time, but have stationed troops three or four hundred miles away from Luoyang. Now, there have been storing 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and the defenders of the entire Luoyang are only 20,000 to 30,000 troops. If the soldiers of the Southern Prince's Mansion suddenly move north, it will have a great impact on the current situation in Luoyang. If the Western Prince's Mansion dispatches troops to attack Luoyang, it will first form a scramble with the Southern Prince's Mansion, which is a good thing for the Luoyang defending city. After all, in name, the Southern Prince's Mansion is a vassal of the court, and the Southern Prince Yang Luochuan is also under house arrest in Luoyang City.

"If you don't have a puzzle with you, what do you think? Now I have to tell me not to be the emperor. When I see the court officials, I will still be unaware of it after asking questions. At that time, I will become a puppet in the eyes of others. I can't do anything other than being able to pass on the family line for your Eastern Prince's Mansion."

Yang Rui was a little angry. She blamed Han Jian for thinking about it and never discussed with her the big attack on Guanzhong. She said it was "again" because Han Jian has always been like this. Although she has become accustomed to it, her relationship with Han Jian has been made public. If someone asks her, she will be the last one to know. Even she herself feels that she is not in Han Jian's eyes. Even if she has to bypass her for such a big thing, she will not take her, the name of the Great Wei Dynasty, seriously.

"Let me say that, I really want to fight, I'm not just talking and joking." Han Jian said.

"You really want to fight, where do you come from?" Yang Rui asked.

"It's enough to send 10,000 troops in Luoyang." Han Jian said confidently on his face.

"You... what are you talking about!" Yang Rui was so angry that Han Jian was so determined that he was going to attack Guanzhong. It was only two or three months before he could only say 10,000 soldiers and horses from preparation to the end. He was still mobilized by Luoyang defenders. Regardless of the changes that the mobilization of Luoyang defenders would bring to the Luoyang current situation, just saying that these ten thousand soldiers and horses would probably not be enough to block the gaps in the Western Prince's Mansion army.

"Rui'er, don't believe it. I have enough confidence to say this. If it fails, I'm willing to be punished by you." Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Rui, Bai Han Jian, glanced at him and said, "Who wants to punish you? Let's talk about it, where is your confidence coming from? The Western Prince's Mansion has been preparing for war in recent years. Just the Western Prince's Mansion sent troops to the Guandong counties, there are no less than 40,000 to 50,000 troops. This is just Guandong. The defenders in the Guandong area may be less than 200,000. In the past two years, the north has been in turmoil, but the Xiwang Mansion has suffered the least impact. In the previous battle of Luoyang, it was in stalemate with the Western Prince's Mansion. In the end, the Western Prince's Mansion withdrew its troops. Not only did it lose, it also occupied a large area of ​​counties, and the local money and grain were plundered by it."

Han Jian nodded. In fact, what Yang Rui said was very superficial. Anyone who knows the current situation knows. Yang Rui knew some of the inner things very well, but there was no need to say it explicitly at this time. Just in terms of paper strength, the Eastern Palace was at a disadvantage, let alone the Eastern Palace suffered even more losses in a hurry to face the challenge.

"Now Rui'er, I'll ask you, what is the most afraid of the Western Prince's Mansion now?" Han Jian asked.

"I'm afraid? Why are you afraid of raising troops in Guanzhong? Yang Pingju's old man has been unfair to the court in recent years. You have seen it before. After several defeats, it would be a matter of taking it down if it weren't for the Xianbei people to send him off. The Western King's Mansion has a dangerous pass, and it's even more difficult to capture it in the past few years." Yang Rui said very directly, even with a little bit of rudeness and impatientness.

Han Jian smiled and said, "What the Western Prince's Mansion is most afraid of is that in the end he becomes an isolated army and is attacked by the imperial court and the Xianbei people. There are still people in the rebellion. In the end, the Guanzhong area will be in chaos without fighting, and instead take advantage of others."

Yang Rui thought for a while and said, "You mean that the Xianbei people would also covet the land of the Western Prince's Mansion?"

Han Jian said: "Before the Xianbei people marched south, I thought about sending troops to Guanzhong, which was to take advantage of the Xiwangfu's unpredictable way to go south, and to make a sudden attack. But in the end, the Xianbei people still wanted to seek near and far away, but it was easy to get but difficult to get into the North Pass, and finally trampled on the north. If I were the leader of the Xianbei Khan, I would never go south from Beiguan, because the loss was so great that it would be at most plunder and not occupy the Central Plains. Instead, it would be better to go to Guanzhong, take Guanzhong and then take Hanzhong, so that you can attack and retreat. At that time, the imperial court and the Northern Palace established a separatist Yellow River, and obviously could not send troops to support each other. With the strength of the Xianbei people, it was only a matter of time before they went south to Guanzhong."
