In the midst of laughter and laughter, the New Year passed quickly. After the Lantern Festival, Jia Hui also began to live a two-point and one-line life between Jingying and Jiafu.
And Emperor Taichang, after seeing the current momentum of Xianwu Camp, also began to prepare to truly play Jia Hui's role.
On this day, just as Jia Hui was about to go to the capital camp, he was summoned to the palace by Li Dan's verbal order.
In the Yangxin Hall, Jia Hui looked at the documents in his hand, and his expression became serious.
"Your Majesty, I only have one battalion of Xianwu camp. If the four princes are forced to join forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of them!"
The documents record the troops and horses hidden by the four princes that Xiuyiwei secretly investigated over the years. In the past, without Jia Hui, Li Dan had no available troops.
Although the Xiuyi Guards are famous, they cannot compete with those soldiers.
Now that the soldiers and horses of Jia Hui's Xianwu camp have been trained, Li Dan finally couldn't wait any longer and was ready to meet him.
"Don't worry, my dear, the Supreme Emperor is already aware of this matter. As long as the Supreme Emperor is around, the Longqing lineage will not dare to make any big moves! At that time, you and Xiuyiwei will cooperate with each other to first cut off the troops and horses hidden by the four princes. , it will be easier to deal with in the future!”
Now that Li Dan has said so, Jia Hui no longer has any objections.
He was worried that he would not be able to perform meritorious service in a short period of time. Now that he has been sent to his door, there is no reason for him to shirk.
So he immediately said:
"Since the Supreme Emperor is in charge, I have no objections. The Xianwu Camp has three thousand more ranger battalions than other battalions. As long as the opponent's troops are less than thirty thousand, I will be confident to defeat them!"
Seeing what Jia Hui said, Lai Lai nodded with satisfaction and then said:
"They can only hide in secret. There are only thousands of soldiers and horses in the place. I also fully believe that Aiqing can easily win. In this case, you and Chen Feng can cooperate with each other!"
Soon, Jia Hui and Chen Feng left the palace together.
After making an agreement with him to meet outside the city, Jia Hui also rushed to the capital camp and began to gather troops and horses to prepare for the battle.
In the east of Liangxiang County, Zoujiazhuang.
This is the property of the Zou family in Shenjing. The three sons of the old man of the Zou family are all officials in the court.
In addition, Mr. Zou is a good philanthropist, eager for success and righteous, and he is well-known as the best philanthropist in his hometown.
Because he likes to help the poor, many people are grateful to Mr. Zou after they become prosperous and do business with his family.
Nowadays, the Zou family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless servants. Even in the capital, they are also the leading squires.
On this day, thousands of soldiers and horses from the Xianwu Camp entered Liangxiang County again, but their target was no longer the grass bandits in the mountains, but Zoujiazhuang, the happy paradise that the people talked about.
"Commander Chen, are you sure that Zoujiazhuang is really a training ground? If nothing is found today, I'm afraid we will be accused by the common people!"
Jia Hui also heard about this old man Zou. He heard that his family never sold slaves at will, and often rescued people who were oppressed by bullies. There were also rumors about him in Shenjing City.
"Uncle Zhenwu, don't worry. My Xiu Yiwei spies have already figured out the situation in the village. As long as Uncle Zhenwu breaks into the village before they destroy the evidence, I promise that I won't let Uncle Zhenwu return without success."
Knowing that Jia Hui had concerns, Chen Feng told Jia Hui what had happened in the village.
He is the commander of the Xiuyi Guards, so he naturally doesn't care about reputation, but Jia Hui comes from a famous family, and even a military general is worried that it will affect the reputation of his ancestors.
"In that case, Zhao Ming, you lead the Ranger Battalion to Zoujiazhuang and tell them that we will set up camp outside the village and let them come to work!"
In order not to put Mr. Zou on guard, Jia Hui could only pretend to be an army general who wanted to gain favors.
In Zoujiazhuang, when Jia Hui led his soldiers and horses to pass by, martial law was already in place.
Especially when they saw the Ranger Battalion rushing towards them with great momentum, the Zou family became even more panicked. Fortunately, Mr. Zou rushed over from the old house, which made everyone's tense hearts begin to relax.
"Where are the soldiers and horses on the opposite side? Why do they want to come to my Zoujiazhuang?"
At the gate of Zoujiazhuang Village, looking at the soldiers from the Ranger Battalion who had stopped, Zou Qingrong, the grandson of the Zou family, quickly asked loudly the purpose of their visit.
"People inside, listen, I am Zhao Ming, the deputy general of the Xianwu Camp of the Gyeonggi Camp. Now my governor is going out to suppress bandits and is planning to set up camp outside Zoujiazhuang. After all, it is to protect your safety, so I don't have any say. ?"
At this time, Zhao Ming shouted loudly, looking a little domineering.
But in the eyes of the Zou family, they are extremely kind.
It turns out that they are here to fight against the autumn wind. This is also a common thing in the army in this era. It is nothing more than some wine, meat and money, so just give it up.
"It turns out to be General Zhao. Uncle Zhenwu suppressed the bandits and protected the people. I, the Zou family, also admired him very much. General Zhao, please reply to Uncle Zhenwu and allow him to place the camp as he likes. I, the Zou family, will definitely satisfy Uncle Zhenwu later!" "
"That's good!"
Zhao Ming nodded, replied to him, and then led his troops and horses to leave Zoujiazhuang.
"Master, I just want some benefits. We don't need to be so panicked. My grandson will prepare it and send it to Uncle Zhenwu!"
After Zou Qingrong said that, he was ready to call people to prepare wine and meat, but Mr. Zou was really a little confused.
"Brother Rong, wait a minute. I heard that Jia Zhen is very strict in military management and never disturbs the people. Why did he suddenly ask us to borrow food today?"
"Hey, sir, don't worry too much. How many officers and soldiers are there in the world who don't disturb the people? I just met poor people before. Now that we are in Zoujiazhuang, how can we not be uneasy?"
Old Master Zou thought about it and felt that what Zou Qingrong said was not unreasonable. Although he still had some doubts, now that Uncle Zhenwu's army has arrived, there is nothing they can do!
Soon, Jia Hui began to set up camp three miles away from Zoujiazhuang.
The people in Zoujiazhuang were also very cooperative. Before dark, cartloads of wine, meat and treasures had been delivered to Jia Hui's camp.
"Yes, your Zou family is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I heard that both your father and his uncle are serving as officials in the court, so you should be close to the Rongguo Mansion in the future!"
Looking at the three carts of gold and silver, Jia Hui couldn't put it down. He pulled Zou Qingrong and began to get close to him.
"He's just a greedy person!"
Looking at Jia Hui's appearance, although Zou Qingrong thought so in his heart, he still said to Jia Hui with a smile on his face:
"Uncle Zhenwu is joking, my Zou family is just a rough house, how dare we climb the lintel of the Duke's mansion. Uncle Zhenwu is brave and good at fighting, and he loves soldiers like his own son. The common people have also respected Uncle Zhenwu for a long time!"
"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say!"
"Come on, come on, now that we are here, we can get acquainted. It's not too late to have a few drinks with me before we leave!"
After saying that, he took Zou Qingrong and walked towards the camp.
"Uncle Zhenwu, wait a minute, Uncle Zhenwu. There are elders in the family, and the common people are humble. How dare you drink with Uncle Zhenwu? It's better for the common people to go back first!"
Looking at Zou Qingrong who was resisting, Jia Hui looked a little unhappy and said to him:
"Why, Mr. Zou is so unwilling to give me face?"
Seeing that Jia Hui was angry, Zou Qingrong was helpless. After giving instructions to his servants, he and Jia Hui came to the camp to have a few drinks together.
