Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 169 Great Victory
The 10,000 Tatar light cavalry were all wiped out, and not one of them escaped.

Even the scouts were not spared. There were four warriors and archers blocking the way. In addition, the horses of the warriors were all upgraded war horses. They were faster than ordinary war horses. This made it even more difficult for them to escape from the Tatars by chance. The Tatars who escaped from the tribe could not leave.

These 10,000 Tatar light cavalry were the Tatar vanguard army preparing to attack Dagan. The Tatar Grand Master could not wait for the information from the vanguard army, so he released the Peregrine Falcon.

Peregrine falcons fly extremely fast. In addition to being used for observation and monitoring, they can also be used to transmit messages when necessary.

The peregrine falcon owned by the Tatar Grand Master was bred from the sacred mountain. It is particularly understanding of human nature and can listen to people's words.

The peregrine falcon flew out. After a few hours, the peregrine falcon flew back, but did not bring back any news.

The Tatar Grand Master's heart sank. The reason why he chose Ji Town as the attack point was because the Tatars had a lot of information about Ji Town, and there were even people in Ji Town who could respond.

Besides, as long as Ji Town is broken, they can go straight into the heart of Daqian and threaten the capital of Daqian.

"Send more scouting horses. It is impossible for ten thousand light cavalry to disappear out of thin air!" the Tatar Grand Master ordered loudly.

Hundreds of exploring horses came out from the Tatar headquarters, and each of them and three horses quickly disappeared into the distance.

The peregrine falcon in the sky twisted left and right a few times, and he immediately understood that there were enemies ahead.

From the north gate of the capital, a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. The sergeant guarding the gate glanced into the distance and his expression became solemn.

Che Gen whistled at the peregrine falcon in the sky, and the peregrine falcon flew down and landed on his arm.

The Tatars urgently need to obtain a large amount of food from Dagan, and this is his ultimate goal.

He took out a map from his arms, looked at the map and determined the location, with a proud look on his face.

His courage dropped to the extreme when he saw Jingguan.

Li Sal is the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Tatar royal family. This time the attack is going on, the Tatar Grand Master brought Li Sal to train him.

All ten thousand Tatar light cavalry were killed, and a tribal camp was also killed.

The purpose of attacking Dagan this time was to rob him. He did not want to confront a strong enemy head-on in the military town of Dagan. The consumption would be too great.

Only when it is confirmed that the Tatar army has not set its target in Ji Town, can the state of war be lifted and Jia Qiang can leave.

"Saar!" The Tatar Grand Master whispered a name, with sadness in his eyes.

General Zhao's surrender allowed Jia Qiang to share Daqian's latest military reports, and the scouts outside kept returning the latest discoveries.

Now the 10,000 Tatar light cavalry have been wiped out. Li Sal has not appeared for so long. Something must have happened.

Che Gen was confident that he was the first to arrive here, and it was very close to Ji Town in Daqian.

Now he saw the legendary Sergeant Daqian's methods, which were more terrifying than he imagined.

He took out a piece of sheepskin, wrote what he found on it, fastened the sheepskin to the peregrine falcon's feet, and released the peregrine falcon.

Jia Qiang didn't know it yet, but he had killed 10,000 Tatar light cavalry, causing the Tatar army's strategy to adjust.

If a living person escapes, the news here will not be known until he is discovered.

It is said that until the founding of Daqian a few decades ago, several generations of Daqian emperors swept the grasslands with force. The headless corpses at that time were the achievements of Daqian.

He didn't want to fight the enemy. He was a detective. It was his mission to survive and gather information.

Feeling something bad, when he approached the camp, he stopped, with fear in his eyes.

There should be something discovered underneath that circle, otherwise the Peregrine Falcon wouldn't be like this.

Enduring the intense discomfort, Che Gen approached Jingguan and observed the corpses inside.

Che Gen sped up and ran in that direction.

He is the best scouting horse in the Tartar tribe, precisely because he has a peregrine falcon.

He is very helpless now. Time is passing day by day. The war is coming and he cannot return to the capital. He is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with this year's examination.

He changed directions to ensure that he would not meet the enemy.

"Everyone in front of the door, get out of the way. There is an urgent call from 800 miles away. Anyone who stands in the way will die!" the guard sergeant shouted loudly.

If it weren't for the Tatar Grand Master's mission, Che Gen would have thought about turning around and running away at this moment.

The original plan to attack Ji Town as the main target needs to be changed. Being able to easily destroy 10,000 Tatar light cavalry shows that Ji Town has deployed a large number of heavy troops.

After walking for a while, Che Gen suddenly noticed a peregrine falcon spinning in the sky. He was overjoyed that he had found something.

He was certain that all the Tatar camps in front of him should be in the capital.

From the clothes of the corpses, he saw the corpses of Tatar light cavalry, which occupied a large part of the capital. The rest were the corpses of ordinary Tatars, both men and women, old and young.

The Tatar Grand Master received the letter from Peregrine Falcon. When he saw the content on the sheepskin, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Tan Ma found no Tatar army outside Ji Town, but there were 10,000 Tatar light cavalry, and Ji Town was always in a state of war.

The root of the car is a Tatar exploration horse. He is riding on the horse, with the peregrine falcon flying above his head, which is his partner.

"Listen to the order, the army turns to Datong Town!" The Tatar Grand Master did not have time to be sad, and he issued a new order.

He saw a mountain of headless corpses piled up in the camp. These corpses were neatly piled up to form a Jingguan.

"Such a strong smell of blood?" He faintly saw a tribal camp. The smell of blood came from there, and it was right below the peregrine falcon spinning in the sky.

The peregrine falcon flies extremely fast. Even if there are three horses riding at the base of the vehicle, the peregrine falcon can always monitor the ground in front to ensure that it will not meet the enemy rashly.

Sergeant Daqian took away the Tatar's head, leaving behind a headless corpse.

Hearing the shouts of the guarding sergeant, everyone at the city gate ducked away.

Anyone who dares to block an urgent call from eight hundred miles away will be punished by death, and no one will be exempted.

"A great victory in Jizhen, Jiahou beheaded 20,000 Tatars!" the sergeant who delivered the message shouted loudly as he passed the city gate.

Everyone who heard the news became excited.

The messenger sergeant's horse passed through the city gate without slowing down and headed inwards.

The horse didn't stop until it reached the palace gate.

The two eunuchs supported the messenger sergeant who jumped off his horse. The long journey made the messenger sergeant consume a lot of energy, but his spirit was extremely excited.

"Great victory, great victory in Ji Town!" He insisted on taking out the mailbox and shouted loudly.

The messenger sergeant pushed away the eunuch who was supporting him and quickly entered the palace.

Emperor Jingwen and his courtiers, who were in court, heard the messenger's voice.

Only the eight hundred-mile express messenger has the privilege of shouting in the palace. The eight hundred-mile express messenger can use the eight hundred mile express to do things that are related to the safety of the world.

"Bring people in quickly!" Emperor Jingwen heard the sound of "Ji Zhen's great victory" and couldn't help but shout with joy in his heart. Although he did not hold military power, during his reign as emperor, the border victories were achievements that could be recorded in history.

The messenger entered the Jinluan Palace, knelt down and pulled up the letter box in his hand.

Xia Shouzhong stepped forward to take the mailbox and first checked the seal on the mailbox.

"Help him go down and have a good rest!" Emperor Jingwen ordered the little eunuch next to him.

The messenger was helped down, and Emperor Jingwen also accepted the letter handed over by Xia Shouzhong.

"Okay, you are indeed a good benefactor from me!" After reading the letter, he couldn't help but laugh loudly and praised.

Of course he was happy. If the defenders of Ji Town defeated the Tatars, the credit would still go to the Emperor.

But Jia Qiang is his, and this record belongs to Emperor Jingwen no matter what.

"Brother, I wonder what a great victory this is?" Nan'an County Prince Ji Peng asked with a smile.

"Jia Hou patrolled the border on my behalf and discovered 10,000 Tatar light cavalry outside Ji Town. The day before, he led 200 soldiers to kill 10,000 Tatar light cavalry and 10,000 Tatar light cavalry in the Tatar camp outside Ji Town. I'm a Tatar!" Emperor Jingwen asked the eunuch to send the letter in his hand to the courtiers, saying proudly.

"Is there a mistake? Jia Hou and his two hundred soldiers could kill more than 20,000 Tatars?" Wang Shuirong of Beijing questioned.

He despises Jia Qiang the most. He has just come out of the fear recently, and the theft at home has not yet been investigated, so he has no time to care about Jia Qiang.

At this time, I heard that Jia Qiang had won military exploits again, and she had achieved military exploits while being granted the title of Zhengyipin nine provinces. If this was the case, the reward Jiaqiang returned would probably be enough to obtain a Zhengyipin actual position in the army.

This is not what he wants to see. Jia Qiangke has been refusing to deal with him and has ruined his plans many times.

"This letter was written by the General Soldier of Jizhen. Do you suspect that Marquis Jia bribed the General Soldier of Jizhen? Besides, the heads of more than 20,000 Tatars have been sent to the Ministry of War. Can this also be faked?" Emperor Jingwen looked at him with a bad look. asked rhetorically.

"That's not what I meant, it's just that it's too unbelievable!" Beijing Wang Shuirong quickly explained.

Emperor Jingwen was gaining more and more power, and King Shuirong of Beijing did not want to confront Emperor Jingwen openly.

Wang Ziteng, who was standing below, did not have a smile on his face, but was filled with bitterness.

The better Jia Qiang performs, the greater the influence on him.

Jia Qiang has already snatched control of nine provinces from him. If he has another great achievement, he will be able to secure the official position of a first-grade military attaché.

There are only a few official positions of first-grade military attache in Daqianzheng with real power. It is difficult to have a vacancy in each position. If there is an extra Jia Qiang, then he has no hope of entering.

The other courtiers in the Jinluan Palace each have their own thoughts, and they are analyzing the pros and cons.

Although Emperor Jingwen was happy, he did not award the reward immediately. Firstly, Jia Qiang was not here, and secondly, he had to discuss it with the Supreme Emperor.

If he did not discuss it with the Emperor and the Emperor disagreed afterwards, he would not be able to issue the decree, and his prestige would be seriously affected.

"Report, there is a message from the general soldiers of Jizhen and Jiahou!" At this time, a eunuch came to Emperor Jingwen and reported.

The two folders took the inn, so they arrived in the capital at this moment.

And Emperor Jingwen issued an order that any information related to Jia Qiang should be submitted as soon as possible, so the eunuch informed him.

The two coupons were sent out a few days ago, but they arrived after the 800-mile express delivery. This shows how fast the 800-mile express delivery service is.

Emperor Jingwen took the two envelopes and ignored the courtiers below. The courtiers were still discussing the victory at Jizhen.

"Pah!" After reading the two envelopes, Emperor Jingwen couldn't help but slap the two envelopes heavily on the handle of the dragon chair.

When the courtiers heard the sound, they all looked at Emperor Jingwen, wondering why Emperor Jingwen, who was so happy just now, became angry.

Emperor Jingwen looked at Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziyun mentioned in the two letters was Wang Ziteng's younger brother.

Wang Ziyun dared to use the power in his hands to attack and kill Jia Qiang, the governor of nine provinces, under the city of Jizhen. Coupled with serious crimes such as corruption and collusion with foreigners, Wang Ziyun was enough to rob his family and exterminate his clan.

Wang Ziteng was flustered when Emperor Jingwen looked at him. He didn't know why Emperor Jingwen would stare at him like that.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingwen only looked away for a moment, but even so, Wang Ziteng's back was wet with cold sweat.

Emperor Jingwen didn't want to pursue the matter, but wanted to discuss it with the Supreme Emperor later.

He was extremely thirsty for power at the moment. If he had the power, he could announce a reward on the spot, or he could directly convict Wang Ziyun and demote the implicated Wang Ziteng to another job.

"Although Ji Town is a great victory, we can also see the movements of the Tatars from it. After the ten thousand light cavalry, there must be a large Tatar army. Hubu, prepare food, grass and ordnance!" Emperor Jingwen adjusted his mood and said in a deep voice.

Next, the courtiers began to discuss how to deal with the Tatar attack. There were precedents for reference, and it didn't take long for a charter to be drawn up.

After going to court, Emperor Jingwen did not return to the East Palace, but went to the Daming Palace.

He didn't want to wait for a moment. The matter between Jia Qiang and Wang Ziyun had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The dance music in the Daming Palace was still wonderful. The Emperor leaned on the soft cushions with a smile on his face.

When he heard that Emperor Jingwen had arrived, he just waved his hand to let Emperor Jingwen in.

"Jia Qiang has made military exploits again. He has made military exploits wherever he goes!" The Supreme Emperor said with a smile before Emperor Jingwen could speak.

Emperor Jingwen was not surprised that the Supreme Emperor knew what happened in the court.

Nothing in this world can escape the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor, as long as he is willing to know about it.

"Jia Qiang led two hundred soldiers and killed more than 20,000 Tatars, including 10,000 light cavalry. The leader was a direct descendant of the Tatar royal family!" Emperor Jingwen still explained.

"He has the same style as I did back then!" the Supreme Emperor said with a smile.

"Father, there is one more thing here, please take a look!" Emperor Jingwen presented the two envelopes and said.

The Supreme Emperor took the folder and read the contents.

"Wang Ziyun has gone too far. Let's kill him when he is escorted back to the capital!" the Supreme Emperor said calmly.

"For such a serious crime, the Wang family has to deal with it!" Emperor Jingwen reminded softly.

"The Wang family has made great contributions to Daqian for generations!" The Supreme Emperor was still very tolerant of the Wang family. He put down the book and closed his eyelids.

Emperor Jingwen's eyes dimmed. The Supreme Emperor had no intention of touching the Wang family.

Thinking about it, the older the Emperor gets, the more he falls back on his old feelings.

Even if Hachigong's descendants were useless, he still treated them with great honors, and he received constant rewards every year.

"Will Wang Ziyun's behavior affect Wang Ziteng's thoughts?" Emperor Jingwen still wanted to insist, so he pointed out the key points.

The Supreme Emperor was a little hesitant this time. Wang Ziteng was the governor of the capital camp and controlled the security of the capital.

Such an important minister cannot have any stain, and what happened to Wang Ziyun will definitely affect Wang Ziteng.
