[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

"Awake?"

Jia Huan opened his eyes, his vision blurred for a moment, then he closed his eyes, and looked again.The person who spoke was against the light and could not see his face, but his figure was very familiar.Jia Huan ignored the other party and looked around vigilantly, knowing that something was wrong.This was not the camp he was familiar with. On the contrary, the felt embroidered with cloud patterns, the saber with the knife pointing at the door, the god tablet in the northwest corner, and the colorful paintings on various utensils all showed that this was the territory of the Mongols.

This recognition made Jia Huan's already pale complexion even more bloodless, and he knew that he was probably captured.

"Nan'an King's capable subordinate, the apprentice of Feng Ting, the general who guards Ancheng, is also the Wu Tanhua bestowed by Emperor Chengshun. I don't know what benefits I can get in exchange for you?" It seems to be talking to himself, but it always sounds deliberate to Jia Huan.

If Jia Huan still had a glimmer of hope of being rescued by the kind Mongols before, now he is completely sure that there is no other possibility for him.Jia Huan saw that the other party did not throw himself into the prison car, but was taking good care of him. He knew that they must have some kind of conspiracy, and he was not in danger of his life for the time being.As long as he doesn't lose his life immediately, he thought with some self-deprecation.

The speaker talked for a long time, but he didn't get any response from Jia Huan. He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed and angry, turned around and glared at Jia Huan.Only then did Jia Huan see the other party's true face—Batu Monk.

Seeing that Jia Huan seemed to be surprised by him, Batu Mengke laughed even more mockingly: "Sure enough, he is a brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet, so timid."

Jia Huan still ignored the Tatar sweat.Due to physical reasons and the unprecedented situation, Jia Huan was so nervous that his whole body was in cold sweat, and he couldn't even calm down and think about the next countermeasure.

Apparently the young man didn't think so. Seeing that Jia Huan had ignored him since he woke up, he thought it was contempt for him, and he was easily irritated by Jia Huan's behavior.Batu Monk grinned wickedly, and said, "Now that you're awake, we can have a friendly exchange."

Jia Huan naturally knew that this so-called "friendly communication" process must not be that friendly, so he looked at the person in front of him with distrust, and then shrank back subconsciously, but he accidentally touched the wounds on his body. , the pain almost shed tears, but Jia Huan forcefully held back.

Batu Mengke also noticed Jia Huan's small actions, and he was even more convinced that this was a spineless coward, and he didn't need to force a confession. King Nan'an's arrangements and strategies against the enemy could be obtained, and then...

Jia Huan looked at the other party's malicious eyes, and now he finally reversed his previous silence and said, "What do you want to know?"

Although Batu Monk expected that the young general in front of him had no backbone, he didn't expect that he hadn't done anything yet. This person expressed his willingness to cooperate so easily, and he couldn't help showing some disdain on his face, and said with a smile: " Sure enough, a famous teacher produces a talented student, but General Jia knows the current affairs."

Jia Huan is a person who can read words and demeanor best, so he can't see the other party's contempt.It's just that these years of experience have taught him to keep calm.Now that he has accepted the fact that he was captured, he can only deal with it patiently, and then find a way to escape.So he settled down, pretending to be impatient and said: "If the army is deploying defenses, then there is nothing I can do. After I disappeared, with the experience of King Nan'an, I would definitely suspect that whether he was captured or rebelled, he would change the defensive formation and the next step. strategy."

The young Khan was taken aback by Jia Huan's words.At that time, the evacuation was in a hurry. I only remembered that this person was an important general of the other party and took him away. I didn't even think of finding a corpse to pretend to be him.In this way, as Jia Huan said, this left a hidden danger.

Jia Huan looked at the other party's eyes that did not conceal the killing intent, and was a little annoyed that he had accidentally said something that was not good for him, so he quickly made up for it: "But if Dahan asks about other things, I will definitely know everything I can say. .”

Batu Mengke withdrew his killing intent, glanced at him with a half-smile, and left the yurt, leaving Jia Huan alone on the bed full of thoughts.

Batu Mengke can be said to be the smartest one among the Tatar Khans. He just didn't think carefully for a while, but now he was reminded by Jia Huan and responded immediately. He asked the spies who stayed in Datong City to release news that "Jia Huan surrendered to Tatar a long time ago."In this way, even if those close to you don't believe, there will always be someone who believes.As long as they start to conceive and start arguing, there is very little chance that the Tatar army will be chased by Jia Huan.Otherwise, with Nan'an Wang protecting his shortcomings, I don't know what trouble it will bring.

As Batu Mengke expected, as soon as the news of Jia Huan's defection to the enemy came out, the king of Nan'an was in chaos.The soldiers and generals who were close to Jia Huan didn't believe it, but more people didn't know Jia Huan was such a person before this, so there were more and more voices demanding strict investigation and punishment, and some even asked to sit with their family members.King Nan'an suppressed these voices with his prestige in the army, but this is not the way after all, and an explanation is always needed.

"Let go, I'm going to kill those people!" Feng Ting was furious.He rushed from Ancheng to Datong overnight, and was beaten with a military stick by the King of Nan'an for violating military discipline without a break. He just got up from the bed when he heard the news, and he was so angry that his seven orifices were smoked.

"Do you want to be beaten again?" Bai Shi said slowly, "And the leader is his nominal uncle Wang Ziteng."

Feng Ting was stunned, he had never seen such a troublesome uncle.Thinking about it again, Jia Huan is a concubine, so Mrs. Wang's elder brother sees him as a thorn in his side.

After such an interruption, Feng Ting calmed down and asked, "What should we do?"

Bai Shi smiled mysteriously, and said, "Let the Holy One take care of this kind of thing."

"Okay, what a righteous extermination!" Mo Lian waved his hand and smashed the teacup, the pieces of blue and white porcelain were jingling all over the floor, mixed with the wet tea leaves and water stains all over the place, the whole Chengxin Hall was in a mess, But no one in the palace dared to come forward to clean up.

Xiao Dezi waved away the surrounding palace people winkingly, then quietly closed the door, leaving room for Mo Lian and Lin Ruhai who came to report the news.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to get angry," Lin Ruhai, a veteran official who has experienced many storms, did not change his face when faced with Mo Lian's thunderous anger, and calmly analyzed, "They want to drive Huan'er out of the house, but they just did what he wanted. Xin Xin, as long as Huan'er's name can be rectified after this, this matter proposed by the Jia family itself will not cause many entanglements in the future, and it will not have much impact on Huan'er's reputation."

"What I want to do is to separate the families." Mo Lian rubbed his temples, looking tired, "Huan'er is too wronged now."

During this time, Mo Lian couldn't sleep all day and night. As long as he closed his eyes at night, he would see Jia Huan lying lifelessly in the desert, covered in blood. Such a scene made him uneasy.Now that there was such a thing that damaged Jia Huan's reputation, Mo Lian was in a hurry. If he hadn't insisted on it, he might have collapsed at the court meeting this morning.

"Let me think about it again." Mo Lian waved his hand, motioning for Lin Ruhai to retreat, and then shut himself in the study, staying there for a whole day, so anxious that Xiao Dezi was spinning around.

After all, Mo Lian did not stop the Jia family from expelling Jia Huan. He sent more people to search for Jia Huan, and at the same time ordered the people who had been placed next to Aunt Zhao to take good care of Aunt Zhao.He doesn't want Jia Huan to see his own mother's life is not going well when Jia Huan returns safely.

The Jia family had already reached an agreement, hurriedly chose the nearest auspicious day, opened the ancestral hall, and crossed Jia Huan's name from the genealogy. It's up to me.

"You goddamn gods, how could Huan'er rebel!" Aunt Zhao was tearing at the person who came to pull him, her hair was disheveled, she was no different from a crazy woman on the side of the road.

"Shouldn't more people pull her away?" Mrs. Wang walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, with a smile on her face, she persuaded: "The reasoning is also my fault as a aunt. The good child didn't watch carefully. That’s why he was allowed to commit such a catastrophic disaster. But Huan’er was raised by you after all, and now the mansion just let you live in Zhuangzi, which is considered kind of the old lady, why are you crying so much?”

Mrs. Wang was proud of herself, and the words on her lips pierced people's hearts. She secretly sighed: "Fortunately, brother played by ear, and today he finally solved the serious problem in his heart."

Aunt Zhao cried loudly: "What happened to my Huan'er? You asked me and the old lady to beg hard!" After speaking, she began to tear up with her servants.

When Mrs. Wang saw that the situation was outrageous, how would she have the chance to go to Mother Jia, and she angrily said, "Are they all dead? Why don't you pull them out?"

Only then did the servants ruthlessly plan to drag him out of the yard.

The maids around Aunt Zhao are not vegetarians either. When they saw Aunt Zhao was about to suffer, they tried their best to protect her, and then said neither humble nor overbearing: "Madam, the servants and sisters were all brought in by Master Huan from outside, and the deed of prostitution is also in the ring." In the hands of the young master, since the young master has such a major incident, the servants will leave the house voluntarily."

Mrs. Wang is in a good mood now, and she doesn't want to make things difficult, she said: "This is the best."

Then he ordered the servants: "Everyone, watch out, don't let people get dirty hands and feet and steal things."

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she wanted to rush forward to fight Madam Wang again, but she was persuaded by the maid who had just spoken, and stared at Madam Wang unwillingly, her eyes were quite resentful.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback by the look in her eyes, and was about to explode, but was interrupted by a person.
