Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 201 Had to save 2
  All the generals looked at each other in confusion, watching the King of Liao walking around the hall with a gloomy expression. This was a hot potato. If something happened to the tenth prince in Liaodong, even though he was blind on the battlefield, the King of Liao was guarding Liaodong and would definitely escape. It doesn't matter.

The war was unfavorable, the army and territory were lost, and the prince stood idly by and was trapped. When the time comes, the court will punish him for both crimes, and the Liao palace may not be able to withstand it.

The King of Liao thought for a long time, whether he could be saved or not, he had to make a gesture so that he could explain to his superiors. The imperial court had long wanted to cut down the vassal vassal, but they couldn't stand on the edge of the knife and Jin Shang found an excuse to attack the Liao Prince's palace.

Yin said: "I have thought about it, and what my brother said is reasonable. In terms of public affairs, Fengtian is an important military town, and it is at the horns of Liaodong Town. Their lips are dead and their teeth are cold; in private terms, Lao Shi takes state affairs as the most important thing and takes himself lightly, so he goes to the border to express his condolences in person. , Now that I am in danger, how can I, as Uncle Wang, not save me?
  Pass on our military order to allocate all the 20,000 horse troops in the city to the command of General Niu, and to reinforce the 10,000 horse troops to rescue Fengtian according to the situation. Another memorial was written to rush the matter to Shenjing for 800 miles to appease His Majesty. "

After the King of Liao finished speaking, he held Niu Jizong's hand emotionally and said with deep affection: "The safety of Fengtian and the life of Lao Shi will be entrusted to Brother Shi. I wish Brother Shi an immediate success, victory, and my whole family." Millions of people in Xiaobian and Liaodong all appreciate the great virtue of Zhenguo." After saying this, he bowed.

Niu Jizong hurriedly supported him and said with a hint of bitterness: "Why is the prince like this? Since the prince is destined, the subordinates should go through fire and water without hesitation."

In my heart, I scolded the eight generations of Liao kings for being such treacherous kings. It means that if I can't win, I will bear the responsibility for the ineffective rescue, but you put all the burden on me.

Although he understood what the King of Liao wanted, Niu Jizong had no choice but to do so. He was a guest soldier and he had to obey the orders of the King of Liao or Yang Xiong. If he won the battle, everyone would be happy. If he lost, most of the blame would fall on his own family. On the head, the Liao king's dog thief is indeed cunning.

However, Niu Jizong was not a vegetarian, and said: "As soon as the prince's military order is issued, the subordinates will take their leave first, rectify the military affairs, and wait for the time to move.

However, although the journey to Fengtian is short, there are heavy troops of the Tatars who are watching. Please ask the prince to mobilize the strong horses and soldiers, provide more grain and grass utensils, and pay more rewards and silver, so that the lower officials can let go of their hands and feet to deal with the Tatars. "

"This is easy. You can choose from whatever is available in the city. How can I be a stingy person?" King Liao said with a smile.

Niu Jizong nodded, came out with a few lieutenants, and said in a low voice: "You two will personally select the elite and strong horses, and you two will supervise the food, pay and weapons, and be careful not to use the weapons indiscriminately."

"I will obey your orders!" These generals from the capital and Niu Jizong are all grasshoppers on the same vine. If Niu Jizong takes the blame, they will not get a good harvest, so how dare they not try their best.

"You, find someone to write a memorial, saying that when we first arrived in Liaodong, we heard that the prince was captured in Fengtian. The King of Liao did not seek merit, but sought no fault, and was unwilling to send troops to rescue. After my officer spoke earnestly and explained the interests and harms, he only agreed with me. Twenty thousand men and horses.

Now, I am leading 30,000 cavalry to fight to the death against the 200,000 Tatars. If I succeed, it will all be due to His Majesty’s majesty. If I fail, I will never survive to repay the favor of my country! Remember to write something more tragic and tragic, and send it back as soon as possible. Niu Jizong whispered.

The deputy general nodded repeatedly and said, "My lord is wise, I will take care of it now."

Niu Jizong nodded and sneered in his heart, "The King of Liao is a thief, you and I are just arguing in front of the emperor."

The King of Liao watched Niu Jizong leave and returned to his study, where several young family members were already waiting.

"Yin Sheng and others have met the prince!" It was Xiong Lin, the prince of Baoan Hou, Zhu Hong, the prince of Yingchuan Hou, Zhu Zhou, the prince of Lu'an Hou, Qi Zheng, the prince of Qingyang Hou, and Zhao Guan, the prince of Ningling Hou, who were sent by the family. Come to Liaodong for gold-plating and gain military qualifications.

The King of Liao smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone took their seats.

"I have read your master's letter. Don't worry, just follow me and guard Liaodong Town. When the Tatars retreat, you will have your own merits." King Liao said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for cultivating me." Everyone was overjoyed, and they gave so many silver gifts in vain. "We are all family friends, so how can we say thank you? I think that all of you are worthy nephews with extraordinary charisma, talents and talents, and your future achievements will be immeasurable." King Liao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary, how can Yin Sheng be held accountable?"

After exchanging a few words, Qi Zheng seemed to say casually: "I heard that the Rongguo Mansion also sent Jia Cong to guard Liaodong. Have you seen him before?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the King of Liao, and he said calmly: "But this has never happened before. If you want to come to the Jia family and have a great family and a great business, there is no need to take this king seriously. Qian'er heard someone say that General Yang put him in We built a fortress and used it as a defense."

Xiong Lin and others were filled with indignation and said: "This son passed through Liaodong Town and did not come to see the prince. How arrogant and rude! No matter how noble the prince is, how can he compare with the kings of Sai for generations?
  It can be seen that the decline of the eighth Duke's mansion of the founding of the country was not without reason. With such a tutor's character, how could it not be defeated? "

Seeing the situation of these people, the King of Liao thought for a moment and understood, and said with a smile: "Are these wise nephews having some trouble with Jia Cong?"

Several people knew that they couldn't hide it from an old king like the King of Liao, so they hurriedly laughed and said: "I dare not deceive the prince. This son is domineering and arrogant. We have had conflicts with him in the capital for a long time, but the elders in the family restrained him, which made him arrogant." .”

The King of Liao twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Although I am in Liaodong, I have also heard for a long time that Jia Cong's son is both civil and military, and he is favored by the emperor and the queen. However, Liaodong is not a sacred capital. If he is lucky enough not to die under the Tatar sword, he will always When the day comes when all your good nephews take revenge, General Yang may not be able to protect him."

Everyone was overjoyed and bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

"It's just a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about." King Liao waved his hands magnanimously, smiling secretly in his heart, Jia Daishan, Jia Daishan, back then you, the Jia family, were so proud of their merits and insulted the King of Liao's palace, how could you think of today? If I kill one of your grandsons, I will charge you some interest, not excessive.

  Jia Cong didn't know that there were still many people behind him who were thinking about him. In the past few days, he had just been reorganizing his troops and reorganizing his military equipment. Now he still has 1,3400 men under his command. Excluding handymen, craftsmen, etc., he only has 1,200 fighting troops. .

Fortunately, the army had no worries about food, medicine, food, and proper care. The slightly injured were recovering one after another, and the seriously injured were also much better. Hundreds more soldiers were added to his army.

"Kill kill kill!"

Jia Cong stood at the top of the city, watching hundreds of cavalry galloping outside the city, killing grass men with great power. He was quite pleased. Many people in the frontier army already had some basic skills in riding, and now they have been trained intensively. In just ten years, A few days are already quite considerable.

Seeing that everyone in the Xinghuo camp had abandoned their iron armor and only wore leather armor, Jia Cong was a little puzzled and asked why.

Wang Jin cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are many horses now, and everyone is a cavalry. How can the Xinghuo camp be as anxious as Xinghuo again?"

The humble nature of the job gave up heavy armor to save horsepower, but only wanted to be fast. I think the Tatars don't have heavy armor, so they come and go like the wind. If we all wore heavy armor, there would be less changes. "

Jia Cong nodded and said, "That's true. A-can, why don't you give up your heavy armor?"

Su Can laughed on the side and said: "Instructor Wang and I are different. We are warriors who charge into battle and do not avoid axes. How can we be without armor? Wearing heavy armor and holding a saber in hand, we can be invincible regardless of whether we are mounted or dismounted." "

"It makes sense." Jia Cong smiled.

Suddenly, when he heard that Tan Ma was coming back, Jia Cong hurried back to the barracks to tell him.
