"Everyone is here, come and give me a seat." The emperor held his four-year-old eighteenth daughter, the eldest princess Chen Qi, sitting on the main seat and folding paper.
"Uncle Yun!" The eldest princess called Yun Yu sweetly.
"Hey, Xiao Qi'er has grown up again..." Yun Yu also looked at the soft eighteenth princess with a doting look on her face.
"Eldest princess, do you still remember Wei Chen?" Jia Hui also came over and looked at the little princess expectantly.
"Hmm...don't remember."
Jia Hui made a very disappointed expression, which made the little princess feel a little guilty and her eyes turned red.
"You bastard, she wasn't even born when you left the capital. It's crazy that she can recognize you. Besides, this is your elder. How dare you tease her!" The emperor glared at Jia Hui. He turned around and began to comfort the little princess.
Jia Hui was speechless.
As the emperor's eighteenth daughter, Chen Qi is not just her elder! I figured I would still call her Aunt Shiba...
In the past few years since the emperor ascended the throne, Jin Jinyeye has not even been to the harem a few times, and there has been no news of any new children.
On the contrary, the emperor was full of second youth, and he gradually added several younger brothers and sisters to the emperor who was already almost forty.
For example, the eighteenth eldest princess is in the arms of the emperor.
It was not easy to coax the little princess and let her play quietly by herself. The emperor looked up at the two people sitting upright.
"You both should know what I'm calling you here for, right?"
Jia Hui glanced at Yun Yu, and Yun Yu said.
"If I go back to the emperor, it must be because of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition." Yun Yu answered affirmatively.
"Yes, Lu Guan has not been in good health since he came back. He is not as good as you. The other old guys are also half buried in the ground. I'm afraid they will die on the way. After thinking about it, it's you Yun Yu. , I remember that you also participated in the four Northern Expeditions, right?"
"Yes, I participated in Taizong's last Northern Expedition and served as a captain in the army. The second time was the emperor's first Northern Expedition and he served as a guerrilla general. The third time was the commander of the five military camps. The last time was ten years. Before, he served as Marshal of Zhengbei University, so he fought for the title of Duke Ding." Yun Yu puffed up his chest, which was no longer as strong as before, and proudly told about his achievements.
"Yeah, I really miss it..." The emperor also began to recall those glorious years.
"It's a pity that the commanders-in-chief of the Northern Expedition back then were old and dead. When they turned around, you were the only one left." A trace of sadness flashed in the emperor's eyes.
There is no shortage of military generals in Da Qi, but brave generals are easy to come by, but generals are hard to come by.
It's not that new talents have not been cultivated, but talent cannot be faked. There are a lot of people who can direct local battles and defenses, but there has never been a commander who can coordinate the overall situation.
Especially as time goes by, the old commanders age and die, and the only available commanders are Lu Guan and Yun Yu.
However, Lu Guan wanted to become a prince in his early years and fought desperately, leaving numerous hidden wounds. He was fine when he was young, but now that he is getting older, the hidden dangers in his body have finally exploded, and he is seriously ill.
Yun Yu was the only one in the entire dynasty who could take on such a big responsibility, so cultivating a new qualified commander had become the most important thing for the Qi military.
"This Northern Expedition must be led by you, Yun Yu. In addition, we should also find more young people with the ability to lead.
Jinyu, in addition to your position as the commander of the three thousand battalions, I also want you to be the deputy of Duke Ding, and learn from him how to command a large army of more than 100,000 people in combat. How about it? Do you have confidence? "
thump!
Jia Hui knelt on the ground.
"I will do my best to live up to the Emperor's grace!" Jia Hui was so excited that he was speechless.
Jia Daishan was still in the final step of his education. He led the army and passed away without teaching him. Although he left a lot of notes and insights, it was always shallow to read on paper. He could not learn by just reading without guidance and doubts.
Lu Guan had explained it to him back then, but the opponent's level was too low and all he had to do was charge through him, so Jia Hui had no chance to practice.
Even Han Xin had served as a halberd bearer for the Overlord and experienced battles.
Now the emperor has spoken, and he wants Yun Yu to be his teacher, to complete the last lesson for him, and to be reasonable, his own grandfather and grandson can only do this.
"Haha, Jinyu, look good, study hard, don't let me down!" The emperor said to Jia Hui with a smile.
Jia Hui said nothing and buried his head deeper.
"Okay, get up. We have sufficient supplies and personnel for the northward journey. We are just waiting for the envoy from Khalkha. Once the alliance is signed, the army will almost leave. Sign the contract, ha." The emperor sneered and picked up the table. A piece of paper comes.
"Okay, now that I'm gone, I won't be able to come back for at least half a year. Go back and spend time with your family!" The emperor began to drive people away.
"I'll leave." Jia Hui and the others stood up from the low stools, took a few steps back, and when they approached the threshold, they turned around and left.
Bah!
"Oh, Father, why did you tear the paper?" The tender voice of the little princess came out of the house.
"Haha, when people get old, their hands and feet lose their control. Xiao Qi'er, don't blame it, don't blame it..."
I was practicing with you at the racecourse two days ago!
Jia Hui and Yun Yu looked at each other and understood.
"In that case, I will go back, and you will go back to spend time with your family, and then you can live in the Beijing Camp!"
"Yes, Master Yun, walk slowly, my disciple will help you get on the horse!" Jia Hui respectfully helped Yun Yu walk out of Xiyuan and help her get on the horse.
Yun Yu didn't object when he heard Jia Hui's title.
"You learned all your military skills from your grandfather Jia Daishan. My old brother Daishan was good at marching and making circuitous formations, and I am good at military situations, which is different from what I am good at. I will not accept you as a gatekeeper.
Don't say anything for now. Wait until I finish. During this expedition, I will teach you my art of war without reservation. But it's only this time. I won't give you any more answers after I return to the court. You can learn as much as you want. It's up to you, no need to send it away anymore, I'm leaving. "After saying that, Yun Yu hit the horse and left without any delay.
Jia Hui understood and said goodbye to Yunyu.
What Jia Hui is good at is similar to his grandfather Jia Daishan, which is strategic interludes and large detours. It is different from Yun Yu's military situation. The former is like Wu'an Jun Bai Qi and Han champion Hou Huo Qubing, and the latter is like Li Shimin and Li Jing. He is a master of this way.
It doesn’t mean that you can only learn one of the two, but you should always have your own playing style, and you should be familiar with the other one, but don’t spend too much energy on it to avoid biting off more than you can chew.
Besides, Yun Yu's art of war must be passed on to his descendants as a family legacy. He was willing to teach himself that he should not force too much for the sake of his grandfather Jia Daishan and the emperor.
It's too early to talk about the fighting style. This is the first time for me to command a large army in battle. Let's watch more, listen more, learn more, and learn Yun Yu's art of war before talking about it.
. . . . . .
Just as Da Qi was preparing for the Northern Expedition in full swing, Khalkha's envoy finally arrived in Yanjing and was now living in Honglu Temple, waiting to be summoned by the emperor and the emperor.
Jia Hui was lying on the rocking chair in the flower hall, reading the notes left by her grandfather Jia Daishan, and enjoying the oranges peeled by her sister in the spring.
"Master, Butler Lin asked me to tell you that the mission from Mobei has arrived in Beijing!" Yuanyang came over, lowered his head and said to Jia Hui.
"Okay, I understand. Are your luggage ready?"
"Everything is ready, all I need is you."
"Sure, let's inform Hu Jiu and get ready. We will stay in Jingying in the next few days." Jia Hui put down the notes in his hand and touched Yingchun's little head. Yingchun nuzzled Jia Hui's big hand obediently.
"Sister Ying, please stay at home. Don't make the old lady and dad angry. Wait until your brother comes back to take you out to play!"
Yingchun nodded obediently.
"Brother, be careful too..." Yingchun's soft and waxy voice reached Jia Hui's ears.
My sister is so cute!
After pinching Yingchun's little face, Jia Hui turned around and left. He slapped Yuanyang's buttocks, causing Yuanyang to scream in embarrassment. Jia Hui laughed and walked to the front yard, leaving only Yuanyang with a blushing face. He stayed where he was with Yingchun who looked confused.
After bidding farewell to Jia Mu and Jia She respectively, Jia Hui walked to the Yimen, where Lai Da was already waiting with his horse.
"Little Lai Da pays his respects to Uncle Hui!" When Lai Da saw Jia Hui approaching, he quickly came over to salute.
"Well, Lai Da, before departure in a few days, according to the rules, a certain family will still have to come back three days before departure. Grandpa and his old man have not forgotten the banquet they had on the expedition, right?" Jia Hui got on the horse, Looking down at Lai Da.
"How dare you forget this! Uncle Hui, don't worry. You have to buy fruits and vegetables in season, and the rest are ready!" Lai Da promised, patting his chest.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, let's go!" Jia Hui turned his horse's head and led his soldiers towards the main gate.
. . . . . .
Jingxi, Jingying.
Jia Hui, who was already familiar with the road, came to his barracks.
A few days after returning to Beijing, Jia Hui, who was on vacation, couldn't wait to come.
As a capital camp controlled by the Ningguo Mansion for many years, there are countless old members of the Jia family. Just because they are from the Jia family, the old members of the Jia family have a high impression of Jia Hui, not to mention that Jia Hui is also a real swordsman. The great general of Zuozhu Kingdom, Sima.
Everything was perfect except for the fact that no one jumped out and slapped me in the face.
Jia Hui, who was born in the Cao Gang and started his career in the border town, was a god-given commander to the Jingying camp. To the Cao Gong and Border Army factions, who each accounted for half of the Jingying camp, Jia Hui was one of their own. , the only problem is that Jia Hui is not the military governor of Beijing.
Jia Hui took off his cloak, but before he could sit still, someone came over.
I just heard laughter outside the barracks, "Hahaha, all commanders, the commander of the Fenwu Camp Three Thousand Battalions, Wang Ziteng, meets the great general Sima!"
I saw a dignified man coming in from the main entrance of the barracks.
The prince walked in and without saying a word, he performed a military salute. Just seeing this standard military salute made him feel good.
When I hosted a banquet for my old relatives before, since I was not in the military, I didn't do any formal ceremony. Today the prince came in to pay his respects, but his every move was very orderly. If he hadn't known about Wang Ziteng's "glorious record" in Datong, others would have been deeply impressed and favored him greatly.
"Hahaha, uncle Wang, please get up quickly. You and I have been close friends for many years, why should we be so quarrelsome! Come and take a seat, Hu Jiu, serve tea!"
Wang Ziteng's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was also working rapidly.
Is he really still an uncle? It seems that at the banquet two days ago, there were not many people to talk to, and it seems that they are really not close to each other!
I am the brother-in-law of Jia Hui's second uncle. To be more intimate, I should call him Wang's uncle. It seems that Jia Hui does not have a good relationship with his sister.
It's true for Shuqing, when he asked her about her relationship with Jia Hui that day, she actually told him about good news or not?
Wang Ziteng began to wonder if there was something wrong with the way his family raised his daughter.
But it is obviously good to marry Shuxian of the Xue family?
Wang Ziteng suppressed his thoughts.
Anyway, now that it's confirmed that Jia Hui is not close to him, he should be careful not to stay here any longer.
"Why bother Du Si? The last time Du Si came here, my subordinates had not arrived yet and had not met each other. Now I am here just to visit Du Si and see if there is anything I can do to help. I will definitely Try your best..."
"Hey, I haven't put on my armor today, and I haven't gone to the Jiedu Envoy to have my hair cut, or I haven't sold my leave yet. Uncle Wang, let's call him Jinyu!" Jia Hui heard Wang Ziteng shout Dusi several times, and then Jia Hui stopped Wang Ziteng and said, Wang Ziteng promised repeatedly, but he rolled his eyes in his heart.
"Then uncle, I won't bother Jinyu anymore. It's getting late. Jinyu should go and see Jiedushi as soon as possible. Don't keep Jiedushi waiting for a long time. My subordinates still have military affairs to attend to, so I'm going to leave."
After saying that, Wang Ziteng resigned and left.
The moment Wang Ziteng exited the room, Jia Hui also stopped smiling.
After rubbing his face, Jia Hui took out two large tooth pieces that had just been fished out of Tianjin Wei this morning and placed in the ice and shipped quickly and walked towards Jiedushi's barracks.
. . . . . .
"Hahaha, the last general Jia Hui, see Niu Changshi!"
As soon as he entered the door, Jia Hui saluted Shi Niu Jizong, the chief of the Jingying Festival.
"Hey, Brother Hui... ah no, it's time to call Jinyu, come on. Who of us is following whom? Do you need to salute?" Niu Jizong said with a smile.
"Uncle Niu, the etiquette cannot be discarded!" Jia Hui said seriously.
"Okay, okay, that's the right thing to think about. Come, nephew, oh, come as soon as you come. What gifts do you want to bring? Look..." Niu Jizong said with disgust, and he had already walked to the bamboo basket. , pulling at the ice cubes.
"Hey, two big tooth slices, my nephew has good taste. Look at this head, it must be at least two and a half pounds, right? Come on, come on, take it to the kitchen and steam it, let us have a good meal!"
Drinking is not allowed in the army. Even though there is no combat mission in the Beijing camp yet, the two of them still strictly abide by the military regulations.
Even if Niu Jizong is now the leader of the entire Beijing camp.
The old Master Cai Guogong, who originally succeeded the old master of the Dongfu as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, was old and frail and could not move in bed. Cai Guogong wrote many times to beg for the body, but the emperor did not approve it. He only ordered his old man to recuperate at home and appointed him as the Jiedushi. The first-class Bo Niu Ji Zong of the Duke of Shi's town was in charge of the errands of the Beijing camp.
Only then did Niu Jizong, as an earl, become the immediate boss of the twelve princes and governors of the twelve regiments of the Beijing camp.
Thanks to Niu Jizong, who was one of the founders of the country and had served in the frontier army, nearly half of the Beijing army supported him, otherwise he would have been driven away long ago.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and two pieces of teeth in their stomachs, the two of them sat on the couch and chatted.
"What's the name of the one you recommended, Lin, Lin Chu? His spear skills are really good. The original spear and stick instructors were dissatisfied with him and wanted to give him a blow. Guess what?"
"What's wrong with Lin Chong?"
"Yes, Lin Chong, this bastard took out the big gun from his back. Without even a cup of tea, he knocked down dozens of gun-and-stick instructors. Now he is praised by those instructors and regarded as their big brother. They all claim 800,000 yuan." The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army is here!" Niu Jizong came over and said.
"Tsk, tsk, 800,000? You can really boast! Even if we sell iron in the Beijing camp, we may not be able to support 400,000 people!" Jia Hui looked surprised.
"No, the total strength of our Beijing camp is only 180,000, less than 200,000. Yet, some people actually believe it. They keep shouting all day long that it is senior officials like me who have eaten the free salary of 600,000 people. .
What a pity, I have been in charge of the capital camp with great trepidation, walking on thin ice, for fear of being caught and sued to the emperor for committing something. "Niu Jizong was aggrieved.
There was no way, the emperor had given these arrangements, and the emperor had no intention of changing his mind, so he had to abide by it. The only ones who suffered were Niu Jizong and others who were still caught between the emperor and the soldiers in the Beijing camp.
"Okay, we've eaten and talked. Let's go back and make preparations early. It's officially midnight tomorrow. My dear nephew, you must go too!"
"I know, uncle, let's go to bed early. There will be more things to do tomorrow.
Then, he walked away. "After that, Jia Hui stood up again, resigned from Niu Jizong, and returned to his barracks.
Jia Hui, who was lying on the bed after washing, had a look of anticipation on his face. He wondered how his subordinates would perform tomorrow.
