Chapter 132 Dead End 1
Chapter 132
While Jia Heng was thinking about it, he saw a group of armored generals in a military tent.
The leader, with a burly figure, a rough face, and a beard under his chin, strode forward. Jia Heng knew it was Niu Jizong without a doubt.
As for the generals behind Niu Jizong, he didn't know any of them.
Niu Jizong saw three young men in flying fish suits, and seeing that the two were behind one of them, obviously the young man was the leader, he cupped his hands and said, "Niu Jizong, the governor of the Guoyong Camp, I don't know what business does this commander come to the camp for?"
It's even ridiculous to say that, although Niu Jizong conspired with Jia She to harm Jia Heng, he only glanced at Jia Heng at the restaurant outside Ningguo Mansion that day, how could he remember?
What's more, at this moment, Jia Heng put on a flying fish suit, with a cold face and a dignified demeanor, as if he was on official business.
In any case, Niu Jizong would not associate it with the boy who was still a white boy in his impression.
Therefore, he bowed his hands politely.
Since even Niu Jizong didn't recognize Jia Heng, the several generals behind Kuang, such as the governor Tongzhi Che Zheng, and the governor Qian Lu He, naturally had no reason to know who Jia Heng was, and even clasped their fists in a formulaic salute.
Jia Heng's stern gaze swept over Niu Jizong, a sneer appeared on his face, he pressed the sword on his waist, and said: "Niu Dudu, I am here to look for Cai Quan."
Niu Jizong paused for a moment, blinked, and faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Brother Heng." At this moment, a voice of surprise came from behind the crowd, and then Cai Quan was seen running quickly, with a smile on his face, he said, "You're finally here."
Hearing this, Niu Jizong's face darkened instantly, as if he had eaten a fly, what the hell was he doing just now, saluting Jia Heng?
Even if it was just a formulaic answer to the actual situation, Niu Jizong was ashamed.
What the hell is going on with this bitch?
"Isn't this Jia Heng Bai Ding? How did he become Jin Yiwei..." Niu Jizong's face was ugly, he felt confused, and raised his eyes to ask.
At this moment, I saw the young man cast a pair of clear eyes like knives, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Niu, the Holy Lord ordered me to follow the fruit to fight the bandits bravely. It is almost noon now, and the time to send troops is approaching. The official came to find Cai Quan to send troops."
The other generals of the Guoyong camp also reacted at this time, especially the commander of the camp, Lu He, whose complexion changed slightly, and looked at the young man in the flying fish suit with suspicious eyes.
If it is not necessary, who is willing to provoke Jin Yiwei, this old cow did not make it clear before.
Thinking of this is to cast a "complaining" look at Niu Jizong.
Niu Jizong's face was also a little restless, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Jia Heng, and he didn't dare to act rashly before he figured out what was going on.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he turned to Niu Jizong and said, "Commander Niu, I don't care how you lead the troops, but since I am the patriarch of the Jia clan, your Niu family is a family friend of my Jia family. You can’t talk too fast! This way, as far as the eye can see, the soldiers are drinking and playing games, and the military discipline is so lax, it’s no wonder that even the bandits in Sanfu, Gyeonggi can’t be wiped out!”
It's all nonsense that the two families are friends. This is just Jia Heng taking the opportunity to undermine Niu Jizong's prestige.
Of course, Niu Jizong had no way to govern the army, and he didn't have much prestige, but what he said today would soon reach the emperor's desk through the two Jin Yiwei guards who were protecting and observing.
Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the generals around changed slightly, especially some mid-level generals, and there was something wrong with Niu Jizong's expression.
Secretly thought, is it from the Jia family?Or the head of the Jia family?
Jia Heng's details were only limited to the public opinion in the imperial court and the scholar-liners that day. In the relatively closed Beijing camp, especially among the middle and low generals in the Guoyong camp, it has not been fully spread.
Niu Jizong's face was gloomy, and he secretly scolded which bastard put this man into the camp, but he sneered and said, "What a sharp-tongued head of the Jia family! It's a pity that the two armies are in front of the battle. It will let you use your tongue!"
Said, snorted coldly, and walked away.
He was going to ask Jia She later, what happened to Di Te Niang, isn't Jia Heng just an idiot?
Now it is obvious that the emperor has entered the eyes of the emperor, and he ordered to accompany and suppress the bandits. Could there be some kind of calculation in this?
If it is allowed to succeed, will it be an excuse to make trouble?
No matter how dissatisfied he is with Emperor Chongping, he still has respect for his power and tactics.
Seeing Niu Jizong leave, the way the generals looked at Jia Heng changed again.
Lu He and Che Zheng looked at each other and thought, "Sure enough, it's the Jia family. If it's the head of the Jia family, Niu Dudu really doesn't dare to put his son on the ground. Wang Tongzhi is now the Jingying Jiedu envoy, and he is reused by the sage. That's obvious. It's the Jia family's internal strife, so it's unwise for me to join in hastily."
This is the power of the Jia family. Jia Daihua was once a first-class supernatural general and the military governor of the Jingying.
This is why Emperor Chongping wanted to borrow Jia Heng's identity earlier.
After all, the descendants of Jia Yan, the official Ningguo Duke, even if they are offspring, once they inherit the title, in the eyes of outsiders, they will always think that it is the housework of the Jia family's internal strife. With such thoughts, they will wait and see. forward.
Looking at the expressions of the generals, Jia Heng's eyes flickered. Seeing the change of mind of the Guoyong camp generals, his heart was like a mirror. He turned to look at Cai Quan and said, "Brother Cai, let's go."
Cai Quan looked excited, and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go."
Even he didn't expect that brother Heng would become a fourth-rank official in a blink of an eye, which clearly fell into the eyes of the emperor.
Jia Heng nodded to the general of the Guoyong battalion, and then followed Cai Quan to lead the army.
Watching the two leave, Che Zheng smiled and asked, "Old Lu, do you think this kid can do it?"
"It's hard to say. There are not many bandits in Cuihua Mountain, but I don't know where their lair is. It's useless for us to send a battalion there. Cai Quan's seven or eight hundred people are enough." Lu He shook. He shook his head and said.
With thoughtful eyes on Che Zheng's face, he said, "However, Dudu Niu looks really angry."
"Just now you didn't hear that the Holy Master commanded Jia to accompany and suppress the bandits..." Lu He said solemnly, "If it doesn't work, that's fine, if it works."
This is a signal, will it be unfavorable to use troops in the past, and Niu Jizong's position as commander of the regiment and battalion will be taken away.
Che Zheng stroked his short beard under his chin, and said in a deep voice, "This is all about the fighting skills of the gods, let's see."
Lu He glanced at Che Zheng, and thought to himself, pretend I don't know about your old Che's thoughts?It's just that the board fell down, and it might have to hang up.
Jia Heng brought two Jinyi guards here, and the soldiers who followed Cai Quan to the whole team were seven or eight hundred soldiers under Cai Quan's command. Standing in a loose posture, the queue is not neat, the banner is askew, and some are still whispering, but they are pressed back and forth by a dozen low-ranking generals.
Most of the soldiers are infantry, and there are only a hundred cavalry.
Seeing Jia Heng in flying fish suit and the two Jinyi guards approaching, they all turned their heads and cast curious or indifferent gazes.
Seeing this, Jia Heng frowned and looked at Cai Quan who was on the side.
Cai Quan pulled Jia Heng aside, lowered his voice, and said, "Brother, don't look at the disorderly appearance of the army, but we are well-armed, and we are fighting bandits, not eastern captives, so we won't suffer. Besides, I have agreed, If the bandits are wiped out, [-]% of the confiscation will be given to them, and the remaining [-]% will be [-]% for you, brother, and [-]% for me. The [-]% is not in my pocket. It has to be given to that bastard surnamed Lu just now. If you can't be promoted to Qianhu, you have to rely on him."
Jia Heng's face was gloomy when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Don't mention anything about angrily denouncing Cai Quan, and then making an impassioned statement, arousing the blood of the soldiers with the righteousness of the country, now it is nonsense.
The rotten Beijing Camp has its own set of rules of the game, and it has already made an appointment in advance to share the spoils before anything is done.
However, from another perspective, it can also be said that Cai Quan does have a brain.
Decide in advance how to divide the property and use it to win people's hearts, otherwise they will be killed in the bandit's nest, and the soldiers will rush up because of the robbing of the property, and even raise their knives to go to Pao Ze, and in turn, they will "defend the homeland and share the same hatred with the enemy." "The thieves took advantage of it.
It just made people laugh out loud.
"A pair of three-vs-four bad cards can only be played like this." Jia Heng suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
Just as he thought before, it is better to start a new stove and rebuild the new army to rectify the Beijing camp.
Seemingly worried that Jia Heng had other thoughts in his mind, Cai Quan smiled wryly and said, "There is no other way but this, otherwise I can command and control the sixty or seventy people under my command."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and patted Cai Quan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "My brother, you don't need to explain, let's go through this one first."
Cai Quanquan nodded emphatically, turned around, and ordered the hundred households and general banners under his command to point out all the soldiers, get on their horses, and set off towards Cuihua Mountain in Chang'an County.
Jia Heng also accompanied Qu Lang and Zhao Yi on horseback.
During this march, Jia Heng looked at the formation of the soldiers and could see some ways. Although the formation was not neat, there were still 200 people walking silently, showing some military qualities to some extent.
"After all, it is the selection of elite soldiers from all over the country. There is always something to be proud of." Jia Heng faced the army of the Beijing camp at this moment, knowing that maybe his vision was too high before, and such soldiers are indeed enough to suppress bandits.
……
……
Not to mention that Jia Heng went to suppress the bandits, but said that Niu Jizong was so anxious that he took off his armor and rode to Ningrong Street to find Jia Amnesty.
Came to the black oil gate where Jia She lived, got off the horse, followed the servants to the flower hall.
Jia Amnesty was having lunch, while Aunt Yanhong and Cuiyun were serving on one side.
Because he was a family friend, Jia Amnesty didn't let his aunt avoid Niu Jizong, but picked up a cup of tea and said, "Have you seen that kid?"
Niu Jizong's face darkened, and he said in his heart, you know, you don't know how to report a letter to my old cow.
Thinking about it this way, he opened his mouth with a bit of anger, and said forcefully: "Brother Shi, what's going on, how did that kid end up in Jinyiwei?"
"My dear brother, be safe and don't be impatient." Jia She waved his hand and let the two aunts go down, and then met Niu Jizong's questioning gaze, and said in a cold voice: "Jia Heng's son was on the honorary list earlier and gained a great reputation. , Then after entering Ningguo, he invited people to buy people's hearts again. For some reason, he may have secretly used money, walked through the door of Dai Neixiang, and spoke kindly in front of the Holy Majesty, which fell into the ears of the Holy Majesty and rewarded him. The official, who receives a salary, does not handle specific duties, so let him follow to suppress bandits."
Niu Jizong frowned and said, "Brother Shi, I, Lao Niu, came here just for this matter, why does it feel like this wave is coming for me?"
Jia She sneered and said, "My dear brother, don't worry, this little Jia Heng, what kind of bandits will he suppress? It will be good if he comes back safe and sound."
Niu Jizong paused, his tiger eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother, could there be something hidden in this?"
Jia Amnesty looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "There are no outsiders here, let me tell you the truth, do you know how that dog slave Lai Sheng got in touch with the guy from Cuihua Mountain? Cuihua Mountain sends 2 taels of silver to the Yunfu every six months, and every time the officers and soldiers pass by, Changan Jiedu leads his troops to assist in the suppression, and the movements of the officers and troops are reported to Cuihua Mountain, where do they go?"
Chang'an Jiedu envoy Yun Guang is indeed an old Jia family.
When Niu Jizong heard the words, his face changed, and he said: "Brother, it's hard for me to hide it from me."
Jia Amnesty smiled and said, "I just found out about it, brother. Besides, what good will it do you if you suppress the bandits? Are the people in the palace going to give you an official promotion or a noble title?"
Mentioning this matter, Jia Amnesty's heart was also burning hot.
He worked so hard to sell goods on the grasslands, how could such a business without capital come so quickly?
But, after thinking about it, no matter how long his hand is, he can't reach it, and he can't intervene if he wants to.
When Niu Jizong heard the words, a sneer appeared on his rough face, and he said, "Since then, when the boy arrives in Chang'an County, what is waiting for him is..."
Saying that, a pair of shining tiger eyes looked at Jia She.
"A dead end!"
almost in unison
The two looked at each other, both twisted their beards, and laughed.
