Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 251 Borrowing troops to kill thieves 2
  The three of them mounted their horses and headed back home. Wanyan'a smiled and said, "Brother Jia, you are so majestic. You can make things clear in just a few words."

Jia Cong scratched the bridge of her straight nose and said: "This is in Liaodong, so I can act so wantonly. If I were in Shenjing, I could only keep a low profile."

"Then it's okay if we don't go back to Shenjing?" Wanyanwen asked.

Jia Cong smiled and shook his head.

Wan Yanshan glared at her sister and said, "Brother Jia's home is in Shenjing, why don't you go back? This is just a place to work as an official. In the future, when eldest brother is promoted to an official and changes places, he will naturally leave."

Jia Cong said: "What Shan'er said is true, but before I leave, I will also arrange things here properly so that no one will take advantage."

Wanyanwei suddenly looked to the side of the road and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so famous now that even pregnant women come to do business with you."

Jia Cong's heart moved, is it true to give birth to a girl? He hurriedly asked: "Where?"

Wanyan'a raised her chin and looked diagonally ahead. There were several Jurchen men passing by on horses with bulging bags of goods on their backs.

"Is this the truth about giving birth to a girl? Why didn't I see it?"

Wan Yanshan nodded and said, "It's true that she is a girl. She looks similar to us, but in fact, she dresses and behaves differently. Looking at them, they are holding horses with their left hands, using the horse as a shield, and huddled on the side of the roadside. , with his free right hand on his waist, ready to draw a knife and fight at any time.

Look at that man, even if he drinks water, he doesn't raise his head to avoid exposing the vital parts of his throat. At the same time, he stares at the surroundings and squeezes the water in the bag into his mouth with his hands, for fear of being attacked. This is a habit they have formed by fighting wild beasts in the jungle for many years and cannot change it. "

Jia Cong took a look and found that it was indeed the case.

Wanyan Wen said: "It doesn't have to be so complicated. Just look at their eyes and you will know that the eyes of a baby girl are more like a beast than a human being."

Jia Cong frowned slightly and saw that the Jurchens had cold expressions and did not speak. There was a cruel and dangerous light in their eyes, which was really different from the mature women.

"Go back home!" Jia Cong urged his horse back home without saying a word.

Sister Wanyanshan saw his serious expression and knew something was going on, so she didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly followed him back.

"Come here, please tell me that the deputy guard Wang, the two assistant guards, the generals in the city, and the chief secretary of the city are here to see me!"

"Yes!"

"Shan'er, Yi'er, you guys are coming too."

Jia Cong stepped into the gate of the garrison and issued a series of orders.

After a while, everyone gathered in the flower hall of the back hall. Seeing Jia Cong's serious face, they didn't dare to say anything. They just sat upright and listened to orders.

"Master Rong, you are an old man here. In the past, have you ever taken the initiative to go to the city to trade with your daughter?" Jia Cong said.

Rong Liu hurriedly said: "Never. The virgin girls and the mature girls have never interacted with each other until death. How can they communicate with the Han people?"

Jia Cong said: "Today, some virgin girls appeared in the city. What do you think?"

Everyone frowned, and Rong Liu said, "Could it be that you knew that the master treated the people well and was influenced by the birth of a girl, so he went out to do business?"

Wang Jin said: "Are you worried about giving birth to a girl who will go into the city to cause trouble? Nowadays, the city has strong soldiers and horses. How can a few people help?"

Jia Cong said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. I have been worried about this these days. The pancake is so big. If I eat it, others will not be able to eat it. How can they not hate me?"

This is a strange birth of a baby girl, Shan'er, Wener, you should immediately send your clansmen to investigate the whole city to see how many baby girls there are in the city and see what they are doing. Remember not to alert the snake, and you must pretend as if nothing has happened. "

"Okay, let's do it immediately." The two women took the order and went out. "Come back!" Jia Cong said thoughtfully: "I heard that there are many female immortals setting up temporary camps outside the city?"

"Your Excellency, this is indeed the case. Nowadays, trade is booming in the city. Many tribes come with hundreds or even thousands of people to buy and sell goods. The city cannot accommodate so many people, so they can only live in the suburbs." Yu Hong said.

"Shan'er, please send someone to explore the Fanmin camp outside the city again to see how many girls are born. Report to me quickly."

"Okay, let's go here."

"Be safe and have more people around you."

"Don't worry, we are not charming ladies." The two sisters smiled and left.

Jia Cong looked at the sky and saw that the sun was already turning westward. It was the last moment of the sunset. Suddenly, he felt uneasy for no reason. His intuition told him that something was wrong.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city now?" Jia Cong asked.

"Your Excellency, there are three battalions of Xinghuo, Trap and Dare to Die in the city. Yu Xie is guarding the headquarters, and General Wang Qian is visiting the horse camp. There are two thousand soldiers guarding the city and countryside, as well as your personal bodyguards, a total of more than seven thousand troops. There are another four thousand. Yu Xiangyong is at the military camp outside the city." Wang Jin said.

Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Fei, immediately send an order to the forts and gate guards on flying horses. They must guard the city gates strictly and not be careless. Carefully screen out the Jurchens and prevent them from deceiving the city and causing chaos!"

"Yes!"

When everyone saw that Jia Cong was facing a formidable enemy, they all became excited.

Jia Cong remained silent, thinking about this matter over and over again in his mind. Now that he has the responsibility to defend his land, he would rather tighten it for a thousand days than loosen it for a day.

After a while, the two sisters Wan Yanshan came in, looking a little nervous.

"It's okay, just speak slowly." Jia Cong smiled.

The two of them saw that Jia Cong was calm and calm, and said: "According to reports from the tribe, there are Jurchens everywhere in the city, in groups of three to five, and they don't buy or sell, they just wander around, or sit on the roadside of the market to rest." , a total of three thousand people.

In addition, outside the city, a large number of tents with female babies were found, mixed with tents from various tribes, and there were at least 10,000 or 20,000 people. "

Jia Cong asked: "Why do so many girls suddenly appear?"

Wan Yanshan shook her head and said, "I asked people from various tribes, and almost all of them came from Zhenbeiguan or Guangshun Pass, and they didn't encounter Jurchen at all along the way."

Jia Cong sneered and said: "There are so many people here to give birth to a girl, and there is no business, isn't the intention obvious?"

"They must be uneasy and well-intentioned. Your Excellency, you must make arrangements early." Rong Liu said.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "How capable can Sheng Fan be? If he wants to play with me inside and outside, I will give him a trick!"

"Shan'er, you go out of the city immediately and contact the leaders of the tribes, and tell them that I want to borrow troops! I will only borrow 10 taels of silver for three days per person. If they are willing to borrow, at sunset, they will cooperate with the army to besiege Jurchen. Remember not to The big fanfare has alarmed the other party. Tell them that I will still thank you deeply after the event is completed."

Wanyanshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, no tribe can refuse such a high price. We guys have long been tired of having girls." After saying that, she left.

"Deputy Guard Wang, you go out of the city immediately and rectify the four thousand warriors outside the city. At sunset, strike first and kill all the real girls! Kongxing, you lead the death camp to cooperate with the Deputy Guard."

"The last general has the order!" The two men stood up and clasped their fists.
