After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Because Jia Jing will go to war soon, he will not be able to attend the wedding of the elder sister of the Jia family.

Moreover, Jia Jing didn't pay much attention to the concubine in the next room. He just asked Yuniang casually, knowing that she was married to a second-class Jinshi, so he threw it away.

In other words, who did this eldest sister marry in her previous life?

Jia Jing had long forgotten.

Originally, Jia Daishan wanted to ask Yuniang to help manage the marriage, but unfortunately, after three years, Yuniang became pregnant again.

This made Xu Shi and Yuniang both heave a sigh of relief.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really don't want to meddle in Shi's business, but Jia Daishan has been helping Jia Jing to make it out, and it's hard to refuse his request.

At this time, Yuniang was pregnant, and Xu's family was too old to take care of her own daughter-in-law. How could she help the Rongguo Mansion marry their daughter?

It took a full month between the news of the battle at the border and the time when Jia Jing actually set off with the army.

And according to what Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan said, this time it was fairly fast, and there were some who prepared for three months before.

Jia Jing conjectured: probably this time it was because the sage himself had suffered a lot of blood and kept a close eye on it, and the officials of the household department who prepared grain and grass did not dare to argue too much.

But no matter what, he had to say goodbye to his parents, wife and children, and came to Yanmen County with anxiety and excitement.

Because Wala was pacified during the period of Tai_zu, and the outside of the pass was stable for many years, the people in the pass also gradually moved to the outside of the pass to open up wasteland.

Over time, villages and towns were formed.

But now, not only is there a desolation outside the pass, but also many places inside the pass are deserted, full of desolation after the iron cavalry rampage.

It was the first time for many noble sons to go to war. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation.

"Tartars are hateful!"

"The Tartars should be killed!"

"I really should let those civil servants take a good look at it, and stop talking sarcastic all day long!"

"..."

Duke Xiu Lin didn't stop them either, allowing them to vent their anger.

King Beijing's palace was originally in Yanmen County, but at this time the prince and his son were stationed outside the pass with soldiers, and only the princess and a few girls were guarding the gate in the palace.

They didn't want to bother them, so they took the army directly to meet King Jing of Beijing.

When they arrived at the camp where King Beijing was stationed, they only saw Wang Shuijing of Beijing, and Prince Mercury was ordered to sneak attack on the side camp of Wala.

Everyone was in armor, so there was no need to be polite. After getting to know each other, Hou Lin ordered Niu Deng to set up camp, and at the same time led Jia Jing into King Jing's tent, wanting to get a preliminary understanding of the military situation.

King Beijing Jing was not hypocritical, and brought the two of them and a group of generals to the piled sand table.

To be honest, there hasn't been a war at the border for many years, and he really couldn't stand it all of a sudden.

The current King of Beijing is only in his 30s, and he is not the eldest son of the old King of Beijing.

When the old Beijing King was stationed at the border, most of him were in the capital, and his role was probably to be a proton.

Later, the old King Beijing died in battle, and his son died of illness not long after succeeding to the throne.

Then the sage gave him the title, made him the king of Beijing, and sent several people from the capital to assist him.

However, this water mirror has little experience in fighting, but he has learned a lot of intrigue in the capital.

Not long after he came to the border, he collected the parts of the Beijing Palace, and gradually killed or marginalized all the members of the Saint Sect.

He also knew that the saint didn't want to see him.

Therefore, when the war first started, he did not immediately report to the capital, but prepared to fight a few beautiful victories first, so that the saint would not dare to move him easily.

But things backfired. Since Wala dared to knock on the pass, he was fully prepared. How could this victory be so easy to fight?

It wasn't until Wala looted twelve counties that he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he hurriedly reported to the capital.

He put away his thoughts of taking the initiative to attack again, and concentrated on gathering troops to defend.

This time the son attacked the enemy's side camp, it was because he heard that the reinforcements from the capital were coming, so he sent the son to make a show.

The purpose is nothing more than to let Hou Lin see: it is not easy for him, and he does not want to make the Tartars proud, he has tried his best.

Of course, Hou Lin didn't know about his thoughts.

But he is a veteran of the battlefield after all. Although he has recuperated and recuperated in the capital for so many years, once he enters the battlefield, he is still a dragon entering the sea and a tiger roaring in the mountains. Naturally, he will not just look at the surface.

The most urgent task now is to quickly understand the situation on Wala's side.

"There are seven tribes who sent troops from Oala this time. Together, there are more than [-] people who control strings, and there are also [-] barbarian auxiliary soldiers. In addition, there are countless slaves driving cattle and sheep. Although these slaves usually It is only responsible for logistics, but it is also a fighting force when armed with weapons."

Hou Lin listened to King Beijing's introduction of Wala's military strength, and immediately knew that he was suspected of exaggerating.

As for the reason, he didn't need to think about it, it was nothing more than thinking that the saint would take his defeat lightly.

Hou Lin didn't show his expression, and nodded while listening, as if he believed what he said.

This made King Beijing heave a sigh of relief.

Jia Jing on the side was silent, just listening quietly, seeing King Jing's expression, he couldn't help but sneered.

He understood why Duke Xiu wanted to send Niu Deng out to set up a camp, otherwise Niu Deng's straight temper might make King Beijing Jing unable to come down with just one word.

——Who is this?

If Wala really had such a strong force, would he still be able to set up camp so close to the grassland?

Even though Jia Jing has never been on the battlefield, he has learned a lot of common sense from his father and uncle.

Among other things, it is absolutely impossible for the slaves in the Oirat army to herd cattle and sheep to be counted as combat power.

These slaves were all losers in the conquests of various tribes in the grassland. They were robbed of their cattle, sheep, gold and silver, women and children, not to mention their lack of food and clothing, and they would be beaten up if they met any noble who was unhappy. .

If the Oirat army has always been invincible, it will be fine. Once the opponent is defeated in the battle, part of the troops will be allocated to prevent these slaves from taking the opportunity to rebel.

The weak and the strong preyed on the grassland, and these slaves were wild and unruly.

Not to mention, this time Wala entered the pass to loot, and also captured many Daxia people.

If given the chance, these people would definitely resist.

After coming out of King Beijing's handsome tent, it was already late, and cooking had already started in the camp.

Here, mutton soup and buckwheat cakes are the most common military rations.

Hou Lin signaled Jia Jing and other generals from the capital to go to his camp, and ordered his personal guards to carry hot broth and wheat cakes, and called everyone to eat first.

"Since we've come to this place, don't be too particular about the big guys, it's serious to fill your stomach."

It was the first time for Jia Jing and Niu Deng to eat such rough food.

But they had been hungry for most of the day, and the mutton soup was delicious again, and the two of them also ate a round belly.

When the whole group was about to eat, the soldiers outside the tent came to report: "General, there is a thousand household surnamed Yun outside the tent asking to see him."

"Yun?" Hou Lin's eyes lit up, "Come in, please."

"Yes." The soldier withdrew and brought in a dark-faced man not long after.

The man looked rough, but he was not lacking in manners. As soon as he came in, he first bowed to everyone in the tent: "Humble Yunlang, I have seen General Hou, and I have seen all your lords."

"Yun Qianhu please get up quickly."

Hou Lin hurriedly excused himself, got down from his seat, patted Yun Lang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I was waiting for you, so you came here. By the way, but have you eaten?"

"The humility has already been eaten, General Xie is concerned."

"Everyone is working for the saint, so there is no need to be so polite."

Hou Lin took Yun Lang to the crowd, and introduced, "Everyone, Yun Qianhu is the confidant of the sage. We are newcomers, and if we want to know the details of the border, we still have to trouble Yun Qianhu."

Everyone got up one after another, and after hearing Hou Lin's words, they greeted each other with Yun Lang in a hurry.

Yun Lang said: "It's getting late, and everyone is exhausted, so I'll make a long story short."

"Yun Qianhu, please tell me." Hou Lin signaled him to be free.

Therefore, Yun Qianhu described the current situation on the border and the situation of the enemy troops he had detected.

What he said was naturally different from what King Beijing Jing said.

According to the King of Beijing Jing, he is on the basis of defense, sending troops to attack from time to time.

But Yun Lang said that the King of Beijing Jing gathered his troops to defend with all his strength after losing several games in a row, and he never sent troops again no matter how the opponent provoked him.

Niu Deng spoke bluntly, and immediately asked, "Didn't it mean that the prince of Beijing attacked the enemy camp and hasn't returned yet?"

Yun Qianhu sneered, and said: "It's true that the son sent troops, but let's forget about attacking the enemy camp. The King of Beijing has been sending people to watch the army coming from the capital. When you are about to arrive, he sent the son to lead the people." Go out, just put on a show. Now that the main force of Oara is concentrated in the border area, the hinterland of the grassland is very safe, and I am afraid that the prince has brought people to hunt."

Listening to his words, he is very disdainful of this prince, presumably this prince is very unpopular with the Yanmen defenders.

Thinking of the sage's special explanation before, Hou Lin thought about it several times, and he already had a decision in his heart.

"It's getting late today, everyone go back to rest first. Tomorrow at the beginning of the hour, be on time, and those who delay will be killed!"

"Humble to take orders."

All the generals suddenly agreed and dispersed.

But no one knew that in the dead of night, a person avoided the guards and sneaked into Hou Lin's tent.

The two talked in secret for an hour before the man left again.

The author has something to say: The author is not very good at the part about war, so he made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and took it all in one stroke.
