Red Mansion: No Empty House Fight

Chapter 47 Jia Lian 5.4

No matter how troubled Jia Lian was, the donkey cart that pulled him here had already gone back when Jia Lian complained, so Jia Lian could only stay in the guards obediently.But passing by the hillside in front of the guard house and looking down, Jia Lian felt that his three views had been refreshed: the house in the guard house was very ordinary, nothing special, especially the large field of crops behind the house!

Since the guardhouse had not been invaded by foreigners since its establishment, a dozen soldiers leveled the land near the guardhouse and turned it into a vegetable field.Everyone has a lot of time to tend the fields every day, so there is still no shortage of vegetables and food.Even raised a dozen chickens!A dozen chickens!Who said that there are no wild animals here to beat people's teeth?People don't need it at all!They raised it themselves!

This is basically life in the crop yard, okay?Jia Lian felt that if he lived with these veterans for a long time, he might lose his ambition in the end and retire from the guard at the age of 50!If it became like this, then why did he come out in the first place?Wouldn't it be good to just be a playboy in Jia's house?

In fact, this place can be regarded as a place for soldiers who cannot be discharged but are still unwilling to go to the battlefield to "retire".Most of the people who come here are people whose families have been in the military for several lifetimes and who have no other way out and don't want to die.Military households usually have more sons, and some people have given military households the quota to serve in the army, so the rest of the family will no longer have to go to the battlefield.This person who was pushed out by the family has earned a living for the whole family.So as long as the family can get by, they will collect money so that this person will be assigned to a remote guard when the troops are divided.Although life is a bit bitter, at least life is safe!This is the reason why this remote guard was born.

Before Jia Lian figured out the situation, he didn't dare to speak about himself.After clarifying the meaning of the existence of this guard, I feel that this is simply a ridiculous joke!If you really don't want to be a soldier, you can get out of the army!Isn't it a waste of national resources to build such a place to raise a father?

So Jia Lian is still too tender.Not to mention why he never thought about why he, a recruit who just joined the army, was not a military household, did not pay his superiors, and seemed to have no background at all, was assigned to this very safe place?As for why these people from military families in this guard did not leave their citizenship, he didn't think clearly that this was actually a kind of unspoken social rule. He thought it was unreasonable and useless at all!

But why is Jia Lian assigned here?Not to mention that Jia Lian didn't understand, neither did the person who assigned Jia Lian to come here—he was just an ordinary person, so why did the higher-ups have to get Jia Lian to a place where his life was not in danger?

Regarding this point, in fact, the emperor ordered it to go on.Although the emperor asked Mrs. Zhang to withdraw the case because he didn't want to touch the noble family too early.But Mrs. Zhang went to see Jia She on the first day, and the queen's decree to reprimand Jia Shi and Wang arrived the next day.In Yi's decree, Jia Shi's Chaopin Duke's wife was ordered to be demoted to the second rank, which happened to be overwhelmed by Xing's first-rank order; as for Wang, she was directly ordered to enter the Buddhist hall for one year of pure cultivation.This way of dealing with it, it can be regarded as [-] big boards each, temporarily suppressing the affairs of the Zhang family and the Jia family, and did not attract the attention of the Supreme Emperor.

The most important reason is that the emperor really doesn't want to see his teacher - yes, although Mr. Zhang is the prince and tutor, he has also taught several other princes, so he was also the emperor's teacher - because the white-haired man I was sad to send off the black-haired man, so I thought of this way: first arrange Jia Lian in a safer place, and then find a chance to get Jia Lian back.Just take it to appease my teacher's heart, anyway, this Jia Lian seems to have no other use.

The emperor is also aware of these unspoken rules in the army, but he has not been able to make big moves, otherwise when other enemies are watching, they may destroy the Great Wall themselves and give foreigners an opportunity to take advantage of it.Unexpectedly, such an unspoken rule came in handy at this time.

The emperor was very happy to have a place to house Jia Lian temporarily, but Jia Lian was not happy!The frustrated Jia Lian felt that since he left the house, if he didn't make some achievements before going back, then he would never have the confidence to speak in Jia's house again in his life!So although life is very comfortable, Jia Lian still began to exercise himself step by step.

First of all, the daily military boxing routines were not left behind; secondly, Jia Lian also did a deforestation and destruction of trees. After sawing some nearby trees, he made a sturdy wooden cone half the height of a person; finally, At the narrow pass two miles in front of the guardhouse, we began to dig a hole.

"Lienzi! Let's eat!" Jia Lian was digging a hole and was sweating profusely when he heard the captain calling himself.That's right, he is now "Lianzi".At the beginning, every time this group of comrades called "Lianzi", Jia Lian felt that he was actually a "curtain".Although Jia Lian's "hoho hahaha" practice or digging holes every day broke the quiet and peaceful life of more than a dozen people, but these people treated Jia Lian with the greatest kindness.It's been a long time, and every time I hear them call "Lianzi", I feel a little kind.

This kind of daily practice of boxing, knife, digging, and setting traps continued until after autumn and remained unchanged.But probably Jia Lian's desire to make contributions was so strong that the Great Universe finally responded to Jia Lian's thoughts. After Jia Lian finally dug and buried the pit in front of the guardhouse that was more than one mile long, four feet long, and four feet deep After the thorns were camouflaged, a group of about 100 foreign cavalry arrived at the guard.

Although it is well known that this guard post is the weak point in the northern military defense, it is the first time that foreign cavalry used this as a breakthrough point.And from the looks of it, it seemed that these people were just spies on the way forward, and they came here only to scout the way for the large army.

When he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, Jia Lian guessed that it might be an enemy attack.After standing on the slope and watching, Jia Lian finally confirmed this point, and immediately ran down the hillside shouting "enemy attack".

The comrades in the guard also heard the sound of horseshoes, coupled with Jia Lian's yelling, they panicked all at once.

"Captain! Hurry up and light the beacon! Vice-team! Let everyone take up their weapons and line up!" Jia Lian had nothing to do in the past, and the most common thing he did was to simulate various scenes and scenes of enemy attacks in his mind. The way of coping is sometimes told to a few comrades in arms.So after a moment of panic, everyone listened to Jia Lian's words, put on light armor, picked up a weapon and left the guardhouse, and stopped a few feet in front of the pit Jia Lian dug.

It doesn't work if you don't come out, people can't run a horse.If they fought back vigorously, there might be a chance of survival, otherwise, none of them would be able to survive based on what these enemy soldiers had done in the past.Under the desire to survive, even if everyone was used to being at ease, they all gritted their teeth and clenched the weapons in their hands.

Jia Lian's pit was really useful!When the cavalry saw the soldiers in this famous waste guard station, they had formed a formation to meet the enemy at the narrow pass, and immediately speeded up their horses to rush through the pass, trying to trample the soldiers guarding the pass to death!But they didn't expect that there was a trap here!And it's a pit with half-human-high spikes!

The cavalry who rushed forward basically fell down and were killed by the spikes. Even if they survived by luck, they were trampled to death by the later cavalry as a cushion for the pit.It's not that the cavalry at the back didn't want to stop, it's just that the speed of the horse was too fast, and most of them fell into the pit under the inertia.

The few dozen or so cavalrymen who were not killed by the pit also folded their horses into the pit.After getting out of the trap, he confronted the soldiers of the guard.

This was Jia Lian's first murder, and it was almost the first time that his comrades in the guard had fewer people.Jia Lian's left arm was severely pulled by the enemy in front of him.This pain made Jia Lian's adrenaline surge - if he didn't kill him, he would be the last one to die!So Jia Lian relied on his physical dexterity and concentrated all the hard training these days into the knife in his hand. Although he didn't kill the enemy with one knife, he severely injured the enemy's thigh!At the moment when the other party looked down at the injury because of the pain, Jia Lian slashed the knife into the other party's neck.Blood spattered out, covering Jia Lian's face.Before Jia Lian had any fear or his conscience was uneasy because of the murder, another person slashed at Jia Lian with a knife, forcing Jia Lian to meet the enemy again.

After about a cup of tea, the battle was finally over.Jia Lian would not relax his vigilance at this time. Instead, he would make up for the enemy soldiers lying on the ground one by one, so as to ensure that there would be no counterattacks when they were cleaning the battlefield.After one lap, I returned to the place where I first met the enemy.

The captain of the guard is the head of more than a dozen people, and he was just doing a roll call to see the casualties.Although they rushed to meet the enemy this time, all the people in the guard were only injured and did not die. This is luck among misfortunes.Seeing Jia Lian come back after mending the knife, the captain also began to let the soldiers bandage each other's wounds.

Everyone was cold and thirsty because of blood loss.But no one was willing to move, and walked two steps back to the guard.Finally, when everyone had rested enough and was about to clean up the battlefield, a pair of 50 soldiers and horses who had come to help when they saw the beacon fire also arrived.

Obviously, the person who came here knew the real situation of this guard, and on the way here, he also planned that the guard would be broken, and the narrow pass would become a breakthrough for foreign enemies to invade the Central Plains.But after arriving here, there was only silence, and it was strange enough that there was no arrogance of the enemy after breaking through the pass.I was even more surprised to see everyone in the guard house who was covered in wounds but none of them died.After hearing the report from the old captain of the guard station about the complete annihilation of more than [-] foreign enemy cavalry, the leader of the reinforcements only felt that he must be dreaming.

Although it felt unreal in his heart, the leader of the reinforcements still sent messengers back to report the situation here, and by the way, completed the next task of cleaning the battlefield for the guards.

Jia Lian looked at the other party's excellent equipment and vigorous military horses, and then compared the things in his hand, curled his lips.One day, he will also ride on a war horse, commanding his soldiers heroically to meet the enemy!absolute!

Soon, the Chinese army knew the whole story of this incident.I also understand that this group of people is just the first spies going south.The role of Jia Lian's trap was also well reflected, which attracted the attention of the generals in the Chinese army, so he deliberately wrote this matter and handed it to the imperial court.

After the emperor received the military report, his first feeling was: Fortunately, Jia Lian is fine!The second feeling is: Isn't Jia Lian actually a waste?Did I miss it?
