My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 248 It’s obvious
People in later generations often hear a saying, "Being with the king is like being with the tiger."

For ordinary people, this sentence is just a proverb at best, but for someone like Jia Yu who is already an important official in the imperial court, this sentence is a wise saying.

Emperor Changping promoted him to the position of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, and was ordered to rebuild the Eighth Camp of the Beijing Camp... No, after adding the Huben Camp, it was now the Ninth Camp.

On the surface, as long as the reorganization of the capital camp is completed, Jia Yu will be able to command a hundred thousand troops, and the safety of the entire capital depends on his own hands. Isn't that awesome?

The principle is such, but things cannot be done that way.

Nine battalions of soldiers and horses require nine general soldiers, and these nine general soldiers are the ones who actually control the Beijing camp.

Just like Wang Ziteng at the beginning, although he had been the leader of the Beijing camp for five or six years, except for the Fifth Army Camp and Feng Tang's Selected Front Camp, which he personally controlled, the remaining six generals were all from the Supreme Emperor. people.

Although it cannot be said that he, the deputy governor of the Beijing camp, is an empty shell, there is still no problem in saying that he is in name only.

The same is true for Jia Yu today. Although he has become the governor of the Beijing camp, in addition to the Huben camp that he personally controls, there are eight general soldiers. If these eight general soldiers disobey him, then his status as the governor of the Beijing camp will be the same. There is no difference between Du Shi and Wang Ziteng.

Therefore, after he became the commander-in-chief, the first thing he did was to write to Emperor Changping, requesting Emperor Changping to promote Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan to the commander-in-chief of Ganxian Camp and Guoyi Camp (the original commander-in-chief Shi Guangzhu and Chen Ruiwen were affected by the Tongguan Incident. Defeated and has been dismissed from his post and given a free tax at home).

Su Rina did not ask for extravagance and hoped to stay with Mr. Jia for a long time. Her biggest wish was that he could give her a child so that she could have comfort in the future.

These days, she has been following Jia Yu and witnessed with her own eyes every miraculous thing that happened to this man.

Jia Yu knew that this was the greatest concession made by Emperor Changping. As an emperor, Emperor Changping would never tolerate the troops defending the capital being completely controlled by one person, no matter how great his achievements were. .

Not to mention, since she came out of seclusion, Master Jia has let her sleep with her every night and taught her many new postures and movements.

This Namu Zhong's maid can only be said to be above average in appearance, which is inferior to her other women, but she also has advantages that other women do not have.

However, Jia Yu is already satisfied. Currently, five of the nine battalions of the Beijing camp have been rebuilt, and there are still four battalions in the process of being rebuilt. It is good to have three battalions firmly under his control.

Moreover, Jia Yu understood that Emperor Changping transferred Feng Tang to the Fifth Military Camp, and also transferred a general he had never heard of as the commander-in-chief of the Selection Camp, which was a check and balance on him.

The flying artifact, the telescope that can clearly see things more than ten miles away, and the telescope that can communicate with dozens of miles away, one thing after another made Su Rina think that Jia Yu must be the incarnation of Changshengtian in the human world, and he is also here to save Ke Dun and her.

Not far away from him, Su Rina looked at the busy Jia Yu, her eyes filled with a look called admiration.

Thinking of this, Su Rina looked at the busy man opposite and rubbed her knees, which were still a little sore. Her big eyes almost overflowed with water. Even if Jia Yu asked her to die, she would do it without hesitation.

Yes, in Suzina's opinion, something that can tell the time, southeast, northwest, does not belong to the human world. It is an artifact that only gods can possess.

Although I was very shy at first, I got used to it later.

Jia Yu, who had finished collecting the homeless, glanced at Su Rina, who was staring at him in a daze, with a smile on her face.

"Surina!"

Perhaps Emperor Changping did this subconsciously, but this was the instinctive reaction of an emperor. A qualified emperor would not place his safety on just one person.

Emperor Changping agreed to Jia Yu's request after thinking for a few days. However, Feng Tang was also transferred at the same time. Emperor Changping transferred Feng Tang to be the commander-in-chief of the fifth military camp. The post of commander-in-chief of the selected front camp was left by a Jia Jia. A general whose name Yu had never heard before took over.

For emperors, balance is king.

The Lord had given Ke Dun one before, and now the Lord had rewarded him with another one. This showed that the Lord had regarded her as his own woman, and Changshengtian was really very fond of him.

Surrounded by these soldiers, Jia Yu controlled the drone to land in front of him from the sky, and then put it back in the box for charging.

A few nights ago, when she shyly and nervously made this request after serving the Lord, the Lord readily agreed and gave her an artifact that could tell the time.

The long team marched slowly on the endless grassland. On a hill not far from the team, hundreds of soldiers were scattered around with muskets, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

The long-term nomadic life has made her skin color tend to be a healthy wheat color, and her figure is not as slim as Daiyu and Qingwen, but she has a more vigorous flavor than other women.

Moreover, her physical strength is stronger than that of his other women. He calculated that Su Rina = Qingwen + Yuan Chun + Tan Chun. At least she is the only woman so far who can fight Jia Yu reciprocally. .

"grown ups!"

Hearing Jia Yu calling her, Su Rina quickly put away her thoughts, jogged to him and asked, "Do you have any orders?"

Jia Yu pointed forward and asked: "Surina, where is this place and how far is it from Ulaanbaatar?"

Suzina said without thinking: "This is Sopotam, which is still three to four days away from Ulaanbaatar."

"Three to four days?"

Jia Yu thought for a while and asked: "Surina, although we are trying our best to avoid being noticed by other tribes these days, it is almost impossible to completely avoid the actions of tens of thousands of troops.

But what makes me wonder is why we rarely see people from other tribes these days. Isn’t this supposed to be the case? After all, it stands to reason that the closer you are to Ulaanbaatar, the denser the crowds will be, right? "

"Yes!"

Uzhina was also a little confused and said, "It stands to reason that there are many small tribes scattered around here. Why are they missing all the way here? It shouldn't be."

She thought for a while and suddenly realized: "I know... today is July 16th, and in four days it will be the Ancestor Worship Festival. All the people from these tribes went to Ulaanbaatar to participate in the Ancestor Worship Festival. went."

Jia Yu stared into her eyes and asked, "Are you saying that everyone went to participate in the ancestor worship festival, so they didn't find those tribes along the way?"

"Yes." Suzina nodded affirmatively, "Our Ancestor Worship Festival is a grand festival, established to commemorate our great ancestor Genghis Khan.

At that time, all the girls will put on the most gorgeous clothes, and the boys will put on leather armor and pick up polished scimitars.

We will also hold a sheep-catching competition, and the winner will be summoned and rewarded by the Khan. How can such a festival not be lively? Jia Yu asked again: "In this case, wouldn't Ulaanbaatar be full of people now?" "

"Of course." Su Rina's eyes were bright, "I heard Ke Dun said that the number of people attending each Ancestor Worship Festival will not be less than 100,000."

"One hundred thousand people." Jia Yu nodded, "It's indeed a lot."

Su Rina looked at Jia Yu: "Sir, aren't you worried that there are too many people and that Ke Dun can't be saved?"

"too many people?"

Jia Yu burst into laughter and touched the braids she had just combed this morning, "Silly girl, last year when you Tutuo Buhua Khan was here, I had only 10,000 soldiers and horses, so I was not afraid. Now I But with tens of thousands of troops coming, how could they be afraid?

Besides, most of the 100,000 people are herdsmen watching the fun. It would be good to have 30,000 to 40,000 warriors who can fight. If you can't even deal with these few people, how can I dare to personally lead the army to rescue you? But what about Dun? "

Having said this, Jia Yu patted her on the shoulder and lifted up the box containing the drone on the ground, "Okay, let's go, get to Ulaanbaatar as soon as possible, kill that Qingertai as soon as possible, and kill you The Ketun rescued."

When he mentioned the name Qinggeltai, Jia Yu's eyes showed an undisguised murderous intention...

This year's Ancestor Worship Festival starts on the 20th day of the sixth lunar month as in previous years.

Both the ordinary herdsmen of the Chahar tribe and the senior leaders of the tribe attach great importance to this traditional festival. Especially for Qinggeltai, this year's Ancestor Worship Festival is even more important to whether he can succeed Tuotuobu. There is no room for failure when flowers turn into profuse sweating.

On the endless grassland, the sun shines on the endless grassland, and the grass glows with a faint golden yellow.

The venue for the Ancestor Worship Festival was crowded with people and the atmosphere was warm. Countless herdsmen flocked to the venue, and leaders of various tribes gathered together.

Around the venue, the neighing of war horses echoed in the air, causing ripples.

Around the venue, the Xue soldiers maintaining discipline were patrolling back and forth. Their polished leather armor sparkled in the sun, and countless colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, boosting people's mood.

The young girls came dressed up. Wearing gorgeous festive costumes, they looked particularly beautiful under the sunset.

The young men rode war horses and carried machetes on their backs. They were gallant and walked through the crowd to show off their majesty.

The whole venue was very lively and full of people's voices. Various cheers, blessings, and laughter intertwined together to form a cheerful and beautiful symphony.

But unlike these cheerful herdsmen, Namu Zhong, who was sitting on a high platform surrounded by a group of leaders, felt as cold as an ice cellar because just now, Sukhbalu, the leader of the Qixue Army, told He received bad news that Prime Minister Zuo Qinggeltai was leading his troops towards Ulaanbaatar. According to the patrol team's estimate, there were at least 50,000 people.

For Namu Zhong, this was like a bolt from the blue.

Namuzhong knew that these were all the troops Qinggertai could mobilize. It seemed that Qinggertai was going to make a desperate move today.

And she only had 5,000 Xue Jun in her hands. If she really had a fight with Qing Ge Tai today, these few troops in her hands would not be able to stop Qing Ge Tai's attack.

These days, Tina Muzhong also tried to talk to the leaders of various small tribes participating in the Ancestor Worship Festival, trying to seek their support, but the answers she got were extremely disappointing.

These tribal leaders either spoke vaguely and laughed, or shied away and said they still needed to think about it. In short, no one was willing to publicly express their support for her and the little prince Battle.

From this point of view, her position is already in jeopardy. Once Qinggertai publicly launches an attack in front of everyone, none of the tribal leaders will support her.

Thinking of this, Namuzhong felt as cold as being in an ice cellar.

But when the matter came to an end, Namuzhong also took the risk. She hugged the baby in her arms, looked at the child who had just finished feeding and was sleeping soundly, and whispered: "Battle, Battle, Suzina has been gone for a few months, but But there is no news from your father at all.

It seems that we, mother and son, are doomed today, but don't be afraid, Eji will be by your side no matter where you go. "

After saying that, she lowered her head and kissed the baby gently on the forehead.

At this moment, a desolate and continuous sound of horns came, followed by waves of horse hoofbeats. With the sound of horse hoofs, the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

The herdsmen who have lived on horseback since childhood knew immediately that it was impossible for the large-scale cavalry to make such a big noise. To hear this movement, at least tens of thousands of people were needed.

Just when many people were a little surprised, bursts of cheers came from the distance.

"It's Prime Minister Zuo here!"

"Prime Minister Zuo is here with his troops!"

Hearing this, many herdsmen who were still confused suddenly showed smiles on their faces and even started cheering. This shows that Qinggeltai is still quite prestigious in the Chahar tribe.

But unlike those herdsmen, Namuzhong's body stiffened for a moment, and then she held her baby's hand harder.

Soon, a group of cavalry galloped toward the high platform. The leader was Qing Geertai, the left prime minister of the Chahar tribe.

Today, Qinggertai is wearing a traditional Mongolian leather armor and carrying a scimitar with a gold handle. Even the scabbard is wrapped with gold threads. It looks like it is made of gold. Under the sunlight, The bottom is even more sparkling.

Seeing this, many tribal leaders immediately frowned.

The golden scimitar has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the Mongolians.

You know, Genghis Khan's sword was a golden scimitar, and that golden scimitar later became the highest symbol of power for the Mongols.

Although the scimitar later disappeared with the death of Genghis Khan as his burial object, the tradition of the golden scimitar as the highest power of the Mongolian people was still preserved.

Today Qinggeertai actually appeared in front of everyone with a golden scimitar on his arm, and his true intentions for Sima Zhao were clearly revealed...
