serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 458 as you wish

This battle never started at the beginning of time. It was at the beginning of Xu Shi that the rebel army was defeated, and it was at the end of Chou Shi on the second day that the battle was settled.

It was originally a well-matched battle, and the rebels even had a slight advantage in strength. However, God gave Jia Hu the chance of victory. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted. At this time, God suddenly started to fall. With the heavy snowfall, the temperature dropped sharply. The morale of the already tired soldiers was even lower. The low temperature also increased the consumption of physical strength. The will of the soldiers on both sides was on the verge of collapse.

The abdication edict that dropped from the sky boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers. Jia Hu personally led the charge. The rebels were caught off guard. The first echelon of rebels quickly collapsed, disrupting the positions of the rebels in the rear. What was even worse was the snow and fog that filled the sky. , the cries, shouts of killing and the vast snow and fog merged into one. The generals could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the defeated troops rushed directly into Li Chengyang's central army. His [-] southwest soldiers had the power to fight. The coalition forces collapsed without a fight!

Seeing that the situation was over, Li Chengyang ordered a breakout, which eventually turned into an unsuspecting one-sided pursuit and massacre. Corpses were strewn across the field, rivers of blood flowed, and broken limbs were everywhere. In the strangulation and pursuit of the government troops, the rebels were killed and injured. It was so disastrous that except for Li Chengyang's Chinese army, everyone else had no strength to escape. Nearly 15 rebels were captured. The old Nan'an County King was killed in the rebellion, and his head was sent to ask for credit!

Although it was snowing heavily, the sky was still getting brighter.

Jia Hu confessed at the pre-war military meeting that all captured rebels must not be killed indiscriminately. Officers above the rank of Qian Zongjun would be imprisoned, interrogated, and convicted in accordance with the law; the rest of the captured rebels would be demoted to sinners and atone for their sins on the border battlefield.

From the banks of the Qinhuai River to the Xiaolingwei rebel camp, there were crowds of people, with orders and shouts coming and going.

In the camp of Li Chengyang's Chinese army, Jia Hu and Shi Nai stood in front of a military map woven with silk brocade, which marked Li Chengyang's next military strategy and main routes.

Shi Nai smiled: "Li Chengyang's dream of being emperor is on the map!"

Jia Hu looked at the map: "Do you think we can catch Li Chengyang?"

Shi Nai thought for a while and replied: "It's best to catch Li Chengyang. It doesn't matter if you can't. Almost all the main force of the Liaodong Army is here."

Jia Hu nodded. Li Chengyang made a fatal mistake. He should not be greedy. If he seizes the opportunity and overwhelms all the Chinese troops, it is still unclear who will win in this battle!
Lin San, Jia Yun, Liu Xianglian and others on the side were sizing up the dragon chair while shouting:
"Hey, this is the dragon chair? It's nothing!"

"Is this made of gold?"

Jia Hu and Shi Nai looked at each other, smiled, turned and walked over.

The dragon chair is just a popular name. It also has a high-end and classy name. The dragon chair is painted with gold and carved with gold, symbolizing the supreme feudal imperial power. Only the emperor is qualified to sit on it.

The appearance is very different from ordinary seats. It has an "armchair-style" backrest and a golden five-clawed golden dragon on the four columns supporting the armrests.The base does not use chair legs or supports, but a Xumi base.The whole body is painted with gold, making it appear magnificent and majestic.

Lin San touched Jia Yun with his arm: "You touch it to see if it is made of gold."

Jia Yun rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Why don't you touch me?"

Lin San chuckled.

Shi Nai smiled and said: "Don't guess. The dragon chair is made of three types of wood: small-leaf rosewood, golden nanmu, and birch. It is then painted with a layer of gold paint."

"Oh?!" The sound made by everyone at the same time sounded like an exclamation, but also contained some doubts.
"Don't believe it? Just pretend I didn't say it."

Shi Nai took off his cloak, folded it into several layers and placed it on the dragon chair. He smiled and said to Jia Hu, "Commander, please take a seat."

Jia Hu looked at him with a smile, then walked up to the dragon chair and sat down.

Before Shi Nai, Jia Yun and others could kneel down, Jia Hu stood up again: "Stop making trouble." He reached out and patted the imperial case beside him, and then said: "This is just the beginning, we have a lot more to come. The matter needs to be dealt with. These surrendered troops must be screened as soon as possible and formed into an army as soon as possible." As he said that, he looked at Shi Nai and said, "My cousin will take care of this matter."

Shi Nai was delighted: "Yes." After a slight hesitation, he took off a jade seal from his waist and handed it over, "I would like to resign as the commander of the Jiangnan Camp and concentrate on reorganizing the surrendered troops!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at each other in silence.

Jia Hu looked at Shi Nai deeply, and then nodded: "Okay! I will take this jade seal, and then I will give you the jade seal from the Beijing camp."

Shi Nai was ecstatic, but he couldn't believe it. He said timidly: "Jingying? This, this is not suitable."

Jia Hu: "That's it."

Shi Nai: "Yes. I will send a letter to Yun Yatou's third uncle right now to let him know His Majesty's kindness to the Shi family!" After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

Jia Hu stretched out his hand and gave it a virtual support: "This is a military camp, so these false courtesy are waived."

After a pause, "Just call me Marshal."

Shi Nai answered "yes", kowtowed again, and then stood up.

Suddenly, the cheers of countless soldiers came from outside the big tent.

Then, the officer on duty rushed in excitedly: "Commander, Li Chengyang's body has been returned!" Jia Hu's eyes flashed and he strode out.

The crowd hurried out.

A group of more than ten cavalrymen were riding towards the Chinese army's marching shaft, wrapped in the flying snow all over the sky.

Wang Yaozu took the lead, leading four cavalrymen in front.

The white horse in the middle carries a corpse on its back.

Wang Yaozu got off his horse, walked up to Jia Hu, and reported, "Commander, Li Chengyang's body was found under the bridge above."

At this time, several cavalrymen came over carrying Li Chengyang's body and placed it on the snow.

Everyone gathered around and looked at the body on the ground.

Jia Hu looked at it in a daze, then sighed and said, "Send it to Purple Mountain and find a good place to bury it." After saying this, he thought for a while and said, "Let's bury the map inside together." .”

The officer on duty said: "Yes." With a wave of his hand, several soldiers carried Li Chengyang's body away.

Shi Nai looked at the figure gradually disappearing in the heavy snow, and sighed: "Li Chengyang managed to save his last dignity, unlike the old Nan'an County Prince who had his head chopped off with a knife and ended up dead without a whole body."

Jia Hu didn't speak, then turned his gaze to Wang Yaozu, looked at him and smiled and said: "You are just lucky. You caught Sun Shaozu first and then found Li Chengyang. What should I reward you with?"

Wang Yaozu was overjoyed, then smiled and said to Jia Hu: "Commander, do you really want to reward me?"

Jia Hu: "What do you want? Just tell me. It won't be included in the military merit reward."

Wang Yaozu thought for a while and said, "I want to stay with the commander all the time."

Shi Nai smiled appreciatively.

Lin San was shocked: "You, you want to be a eunuch?!"

Everyone was startled at first, and then burst into laughter.

Jia Hu pointed his finger at Lin San with a smile, but was speechless.

"Who wants to be a eunuch!" Wang Yaozu blushed and stepped forward to deal with Lin San, but he didn't want to be too presumptuous in front of Jia Hu, so he could only glare at him fiercely. Queen Qiu was settling accounts.

After laughing, Jia Hu said: "I understand."

Wang Yaozu was happy again and gave a military salute to Jia Hu: "Thank you, Marshal!"

At this moment, a soldier came over in a hurry and said, "Commander, Sun Shaozu is clamoring to see you, saying he doesn't want to be a fool."

Jia Hu's eyes flashed: "Bring it with you."

The soldier replied: "Yes." He turned and left.

After a while, the soldiers came with Sun Shaozu in shackles and handcuffs.

Looking at him, Jia Hu thought of Li Chengyang again, and a murderous intention suddenly surged in his heart. He wished he could crush Li Chengyang to ashes and be suppressed by him again.

Sun Shaozu dragged his shackles and walked about seven or eight steps away from Jia Hu when he was stopped.

Sun Shaozu: "Why?"

"Presumptuous!" Lin San's face sank.

Jia Hu waved his hand: "There is no reason."

Sun Shaozu was stunned and then asked: "How do you plan to deal with me? Ling Chi?"

Jia Hu heard this and looked at him: "Okay, as you wish."

Sun Shaozu was startled for a moment, gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
