In May, there was a timely rain on the prairie outside the Guanwai. The prairie turned green half a month earlier than usual, and the grass has gradually sprouted. After a while, the tall grass will surpass last year's withered grass, and then you can see patches of green A lush prairie.

In the early morning of this day, more than ten generals led by the defender of Suiyuan City came down to a place ten miles away from Suiyuan City, waiting for Jia Hu's arrival.

There were also several civil servants in official robes standing beside them. They were all civil servants of Guihua City.

As time passed, the grassland outside the pass was completely conquered by the Great Zhou Dynasty. The court built five new cities and dozens of fortresses outside the pass, and relocated tens of thousands of Han people.

While everyone was waiting silently, an eagle cry suddenly came from the distant sky!
Everyone looked closely, and saw a huge goshawk flying over, circling over the crowd, and then several black shadows were approaching rapidly in the southeast sky.

Looking at the goshawk circling in the sky, everyone understood that Jia Hu is here!

For a moment, thunderous horse hooves sounded from the other side of the prairie, and then boundless cavalry appeared, and the whole ground trembled violently. amazing!

"The handsome man is here!"

A smile appeared on the face of the defender of Suiyuan City, "Come on, follow me to meet the commander!" After speaking, he strode forward to meet him.

The generals hurriedly followed.

At this time, a group of cavalry broke away from the army and galloped towards this side. The leader was Jia Hu, on the left was Wang Dalei, the leader of the Vanguard Battalion who had been promoted to lieutenant general, and on the right was Li Si, the lieutenant general of the cavalry battalion.

Amidst the panting and yelling, the cavalry reined in one after another, and the cavalry stopped one after another.

The guard general of Suiyuan City rushed to Jia Hu, half-kneeled and performed a military salute, "General, I will see you, Commander-in-Chief!"

"See you, Commander!" All the generals shouted in unison.

Jia Hu got off his horse, stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile, "You have worked hard for half a year." Then he said to the generals, "Get up."

All the generals responded loudly: "Thank you, Marshal!"

Jia Hu smiled: "It seems that the food outside the pass is good, everyone is full of energy, and their words are very powerful."

The defender of Suiyuan City also smiled: "Although the outside of the customs has been pacified, the big guys are still practicing hard and are ready to follow the commander to make contributions!"

A trace of relief quickly flashed across Jia Hu's face, and he said solemnly again: "You must not move this time in Mobei, and you must protect the safety of the army's food roads."

Suiyuan City Guard: "Yes."

Jia Hu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as the food supply is guaranteed, I will give you a great credit."

The defender of Suiyuan City: "Thank you, Marshal!"

As Jia Hu walked, he asked, "Have you received my letter?"

Suiyuan City Guard: "Return to Commander, I have received it a long time ago. I have already found a few people who can speak Rakshasa. Besides, the spies will be back in a few days."

Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction, counting the days, Liu Xianglian's people should be back soon.

Ahead, those civil servants greeted them.

The Suiyuan city guard whispered a few words in Jia Hu's ear.

The civil servants walked up to Jia Hu, bowed, and said, "See Mr. Ning Guo!"

Jia Hu nodded with a smile: "Thank you, everyone, please go back."

Several people were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other, and could only answer: "Yes."

Looking at their backs going away, Jia Hu blinked. These people were all Enke Scholars in the second year of Jianwu, and they were all the emperor's people. cleaned up.

The guard of Suiyuan City: "Please enter the city, Commander, and I will wash away the dust for Commander in the end!"

"Ah."

Jia Hu got on his horse and said to Li Si who was behind him: "The army is leaving!"

Everyone got on their horses one after another, and the [-]-strong army marched towards Suiyuan City.

At this time, the fields outside Suiyuan City were full of busy Han people. Looking at the mighty cavalry on the official road, they were excited. They dropped their farm work and squeezed to the sides of the official road to meet the army. Cheers!

Early the next morning, Jia Hu went down to Daqing Mountain under the escort of his own soldiers. The remains of the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who died in the battle at the northern foot of Yin Mountain had all been moved to the foot of Daqing Mountain.

After the sacrifice, Jia Hu went to the fortress to have a look, and had a meal with the guarding soldiers.

After rushing back to Suiyuan City in the afternoon, he sat down and had a sip of tea when his own soldiers came to report that 2 people from the Ikezhao League had arrived immediately.

This time, Jia Hu led [-] cavalry first, and Xie Qiong, Yang Dayong and others guarded the artillery battalion. They will join forces with the [-] Mongolian cavalry waiting in the new city outside Zhangjiakou Pass, and then go to Ulia Su Tai.

lobby
Jia Hu, who had already changed into his five-claw python robe, sat upright in the center of the lobby.

Li Si, Wang Dalei and others sat on the chairs on both sides.

Lin San's voice came from outside the door: "Commander, Zhao Qiang, the leader of the Yikezhao Alliance, wants to see you!"

Jia Hu: "Please come in."

Everyone looked around, only to see a middle-aged man in the official robe of the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty walking in.

Walking to the center of the hall, Zhao Qiang knelt down, and then kowtowed: "See the commander in chief!"

Jia Hu: "Get up."

Zhao Qiang: "Thank you, Marshal!" He kowtowed again, and then got up.

"Did the officials of the Ministry of Rites explain etiquette to you?" Jia Hu asked suddenly.

Zhao Qiang was taken aback, and replied: "Tell me, the name of the humble official was changed at that time."

Jia Hu looked very kindly, and said: "You are now a subject of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You must abandon the Manchu style in the past. Don't kneel down at every turn. Especially in the army, you must give a military salute. Do you understand?"

Zhao Qiang was moved in his heart, and gave a very formal military salute to Jia Hu: "See the commander in humble rank! Willing to serve the commander!"

Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction: "Sit down."

Zhao Qiang: "Thank you, Marshal." He sat down on the chair by the door.

Jia Hu's gaze swept over everyone's faces slowly, "I'm a rough man, so I won't say anything nice. The purpose of this battle is to eliminate the invading Raksha people and recover Uliasutai, which was forcibly occupied by the Raksha people. Heilongjiang and other places. Now the troops of the Ikezhao League have also arrived, and the army has a short rest. When the information arrives, the whole army will immediately attack and wipe out the Raksha bandit army in Uliasutai city!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps, and then a sentry came in and reported to Jia Hu: "Commander, the information just sent by Uliasutai." He took out a letter from his pocket. The letter is offered with both hands.

Li Si handed the letter to Jia Hu.

Jia Hu took the letter and tore it open to read it. After reading only a few lines, he smiled: "Good news, Ivanov led the main force of the Rakshasa bandit army to leave Uliasutai City, and went to the north to receive ammunition and be driven away. Raksha serfs. There are only a thousand Raksha bandit troops in the city."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words.

Jia Hu stood up and said loudly: "The army will rest before dark, get up before five o'clock tomorrow, and set off at the hour of the hour! One person and two horses, walking for two days a day, go straight to Uliasutai City!"
