serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 310 Running away from the leek root
The sky was overcast, with drizzle falling from time to time.

Lin San led several soldiers from a distance.

The soldiers in the front were carrying two braziers, and the soldiers in the back were carrying food boxes.

Lin San opened the tent curtain, and the soldiers walked into the Chinese army's tent carrying braziers and food boxes.

In the big tent, Jia Hu stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, his eyes scanning everywhere on the map.

The soldiers put down their things and retreated.

Lin San lit the brazier, then lay on the ground and blew the fire. He said, "It's raining and the weather is getting colder! Fortunately, a large number of fur coats were seized from the Mongols." He blew the other brazier as well. .

It wasn't so cold immediately. Lin San turned around and ignited the small stove again and boiled water. Then he walked to the short table, placed a lunch box and four vegetable boxes on the short table, opened the lid, "Two Master, let’s eat.”

Jia Hu came back to his senses and said, "Yeah." He turned around and walked to the short table to sit down. He took the chopsticks and took a look at the food: "What do they eat?"

Lin San smiled and said: "Food cake, meat cake, mutton soup."

Jia Hu: "It's getting cold. Tell them that each camp will kill five more cows and raise thirty more cows every day so that they can eat enough. Only when they are full can their bodies stay warm."

Lin San: "Yes."

Jia Hu thought for a moment and said, "Share the captured kumiss among everyone. Don't drink too much." After saying that, he started to eat.

At this time, the voice of a soldier came from outside the tent: "Commander, General Xie Qiong is here."

Jia Hu: "Come in."

The curtain was lifted and Xie Qiong walked in. It was already raining lightly outside.

Xie Qiong came over and saluted: "Commander."

"sit down."

Jia Hu hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Qiong sat down at the side, "According to the information provided by the herdsmen, the sand table has almost been made, and the rest is waiting for the information from the sentry camp."

Jia Hu nodded and continued eating.

Taking a sip of the tea brought by Lin San, Xie Qiong continued: "I just asked a few old herdsmen, and they all said that the first snow this year will be earlier and heavier than usual."

Jia Hu: "Don't worry. Qiqihar is just a small city built by the Manchus. Even if the Rakshasa people take advantage of this time to repair and reinforce, they still can't withstand the continuous bombardment of artillery. As long as a gap is broken in the city wall, the war will be over. it's over."

Xie Qiong nodded: "As soon as the artillery battalion arrives, the army can start. By the way, the Datong Guards led by Zhao Yi should also arrive."

Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Zhao hurriedly came in with a letter: "Zhao Yi killed Temulun!"

Jia Hu was shocked: "Oh? Zhao Yi killed Te Mulun? Why?"

Eunuch Zhao shook the letter in his hand: "You disrespected the commander's military orders and led the troops to retreat without permission!"

Jia Hu's expression became serious: "What? How dare Temulun withdraw his troops without permission?"

Eunuch Zhao: "Well, Temulun was worried that the Horqin people would attack the camp while the army was marching north to attack the Rakshasa people, so he wanted to send the captured herdsmen to the other side of the Daxingan Mountains. On the way, he met the Datong Guards led by Zhao Yi. "

Jia Hu's expression changed: "Has Zhao Yi already wiped out the royal court of the Xilin Gol League?"

Eunuch Zhao nodded.

Jia Hu slapped the table with his palm, stood up abruptly, and walked back and forth a few steps: "It's nonsense! Doesn't he know how bad this incident will cause?! The whole Monan Grassland has spread, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty signed a covenant with the Xilin Gol League. Fortunately, the covenant was torn up before the end of the war, even if the war was over and the donkey was killed!"

Xie Qiong's face also became solemn: "If you don't tell me, it will damage the credibility of the court, and it will even damage your majesty's holy name!"

Jia Hu stopped and said, "I'm worried about the Zhaowuda League." Eunuch Zhao's expression suddenly changed: "What should we do now?"

Jia Hu glanced at him sideways, turned around and walked into the back tent.

After a while, Jia Hu came out with two cowhide envelopes and a token, shouting: "Here comes someone!"

A soldier captain came in in response.

Jia Hu handed him a cowhide envelope: "You set out immediately. You must deliver this to Culun within seven days and hand it over to the deputy general of the Xuanfu!"

The guard captain took the envelope and replied loudly: "Yes!" He turned around and strode out.

Watching him go out, Jia Hu turned to Eunuch Zhao: "The warrant just now was to mobilize Kulun's [-] cavalry to go south to the royal court of Xilin Gol League to intimidate the surrounding Mongolian tribes. In addition, Zhao Yi can't stay here anymore, let him escort him Let’s go to the capital with Prince Dulbert.”

Jia Hu looked at Xie Qiong again: "Go there yourself and stop the Datong Guards before they cross the river. Use this token to control the Datong Guards' troops and horses, and then lead the troops to garrison the rear camp."

Xie Qiong took a step forward, took the envelope and the token with both hands: "Yes!" She turned around and strode out.

Eunuch Zhao blinked. Things were beyond his control. He didn't care whether Zhao Yi lived or died. What he was worried about was that these [-] elite riders would slowly change their surname to Jia.

After being silent for a long time, Eunuch Zhao spoke: "The Za family immediately reported this matter to Qianqing Palace and asked the emperor to select a general to lead the army."

Jia Hu waved his hand: "I know."

Eunuch Zhao turned around and walked out quickly.

Jia Hu walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the drizzle outside, and sighed slightly. He originally planned to move the entire Xilin Gol League to Kulun after the war, and let them help the court build border towns and mine ore, and slowly Harvest leeks.Unexpectedly, Zhao Yi directly slaughtered the royal court of the Xilin Gol League in order to claim credit, and the good leeks were dug up by him!

A gust of wind blew in, and the cold wind brought the smell of rain. Jia Hu came back to his senses and said, "Let's go to the wounded barracks to have a look."

Lin San: "It's much colder outside. Second Master, please wear thicker clothes."

"Okay." Jia Hu waved his hand, "There are several cloaks in the box. You can wear one too."

At this time in the capital, the sky is clear and the golden sun is shining all over the earth.

After half a year, Grand View Garden welcomed its nominal owner, Jia Yuanchun.

Wang Xifeng is the one suffering the most these days.First, he led people to clean up the garden and prepare various items in preparation for picking up the car.Not only to Zhang Luo Yuanchun, but also to arrange the residence of the accompanying female officials, court ladies and eunuchs.After finally waiting for Yuanchun to live, Mrs. Wang asked her to stay here every day, ready to serve Yuanchun and the Ninth Prince.

Dinner was being served in the side hall. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were dining with Yuan Chun inside, while Wang Xifeng took advantage of this moment to rest outside.

At this time, Zhou Rui's family came over, holding a list of dinner in his hand: "Second Grandma, here is the list of dinner for today, my wife asked you to prepare it quickly."

Wang Xifeng was angry and said coldly: "Why don't you go back to your grandma?"

Zhou Ruijia was startled for a moment, then laughed along with him: "I don't want to disturb grandma's rest, but my wife asked grandma to prepare."

Wang Xifeng glared: "You are so stupid that you want to fight against me, aren't you?"

Zhou Rui's family was silent after hearing this.

Wang Xifeng then said: "This order will eventually be sent to Miss Lin, you can do it yourself."

Zhou Rui's family thought for a while and could only leave with the list.

After Zhou Rui's family left, Yuanyang came again and walked to Wang Xifeng: "Second Grandma, I want you to come in for dinner."

Wang Xifeng sighed: "I can't eat it." She looked around and said to Yuanyang: "I am the easy one to bully in this big family. The eldest grandma has the old lady and the second wife to feel sorry for her. Girl Lin has thick arms and no one dares to do anything. It’s about time!”

Seeing her pitiful look, Yuanyang covered her mouth and laughed: "It's so pitiful to say that even I feel sorry for you." While helping Wang Xifeng to stand up, he said, "Okay, I know you have worked hard. The empress specially kept your love. Food to eat”
