When Jia Heng left Rongguo Mansion, he saw two guards in brocade clothes leading horses.
"Sir." Qu Lang and Zhao Yi called.
Jia Heng nodded to the two of them, and was about to go to Dongfu when he saw the maid Bi'er coming from the direction of Dongfu, accompanying Cai Quan, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and said: "Uncle, Cai Qianhu just sent someone We went to the house to urge us to start our journey. My wife asked me not to go home and say goodbye, but to just go straight to the army. She said that she would wait for me to return in triumph and not to miss home. There is money and clothes in this bag for me to take with me on the way."
Jia Heng nodded at Bi'er. He understood what Ke Qing said. There was neither life nor death. Even so, why bother saying goodbye?
Taking the cloth bag from Bi'er, he nodded, handed the green shirt he changed to Bi'er, and said warmly: "These are the clothes you changed, take them back to grandma, let Qingwen wash them, don't delay I'll wear it when I get back."
Bi'er quickly stretched out her hand to take it, and said with a sly smile: "The sun has been nice these days, and it has been drying for a long time. Can the uncle come back in a long time?"
Jia Heng: "..."
It took only a long time to arrive at Cuihua Mountain. Does Bi'er think he is Guan Yunchang?
Bi'er is also a very clever girl. She must have peeked at his manuscript a few days ago, right?
Jia Heng suppressed the affection for his son and daughter in his heart, turned to look at Qu Lang and Zhao Yi, and said in a deep voice: "You two, let's go to Nancheng."
Because the military academy where Cai Quan is stationed is outside the south city, the departure will also start there, so Jia Heng will meet Cai Quan at the south city gate.
The three cavalrymen galloped their horses and whipped their horses, driving towards the south city gate.
Jingying·Nancheng Daying
The armies of the State of Chen Han were stationed in Longshouyuan, a place surrounded by mountains and rivers outside Chang'an City. There were more than 200,000 people in the twelve regiments, plus soldiers, their families, dignitaries, court officials, and merchants in the capital. As well as servants and maids serving the above decent people, Chang'an, a big city, really has a population of millions.
Coupled with the frequent disasters in recent years, people have been living in Shenjing, which has become increasingly densely populated and the public security has deteriorated sharply.
Jia Heng and the two guards in Jin Yiwei rode to the garrison of Guoyong Camp in Jingying, overlooking the deer antler fence and arrow tower.
But at this moment, the gate of the camp was not closed, and there were soldiers guarding it.
"Jingying Station, stop anyone coming!"
Behind the barracks, a group of soldiers were on guard, gathered in small groups, whispering to each other. After a document, the leader was a small flag officer. When he saw the three cavalry in the distance, he shouted from a distance.
Jia Heng and the two Jinyi guards rode forward, picked up the Jinyiwei waist tag, and said coldly: "I, the Jinyiwei, command my subordinate Jia Heng. I'm here to find Cai Quan of Guoyong Camp, Thousand Households of Rubu. Go quickly to report."
When the official Xiaoqi saw that the three riders were all wearing Feiyu costumes, he already knew their identities. When he saw the tokens, his expression changed. Unexpectedly, it was the fourth-rank commander who said, "Sir, please come in."
Jia Heng frowned, having a deeper understanding of the corruption of Chen Han's military system.
Not to mention the Xiliu Camp, the guards standing guard all gathered in small groups and whispered to each other, which shows the lack of military discipline.
"I heard from Cai Quan that because Niu Jizong was afraid of the Hedong lion in his family, he often used the excuse of handling military affairs in the camp to have late nights with brothel singers. Many of his generals imitated him."
"I thought it was an exaggeration, but now that I see it, I believe it 70% or 80%. It's no wonder that the Fan Kingdom along the Western Sea can defeat such a Central Forbidden Army!" Jia Heng's heart was cold.
As he dismounted and entered the military camp, he saw soldiers with undisciplined soldiers along the way. In some barracks, he could actually hear the noisy sounds of people drinking, drinking and gambling. Jia Heng felt even more ridiculous.
Military discipline has been so corrupted!
He even felt that during this trip, if he had surrendered to the Cuihua Mountain Luocao as a bandit, he would have a 50% chance of pulling a team to fight in Chang'an to rebel and conquer the world.
Of course, this is just a ridiculous joke.
No matter how exhausted the troops in the capital camp were, their numbers and weapons were still there, but they could not be matched by the thieves who were not fully equipped with armor and neglected their battle formations.
Of course, using the advantage of ants to disrupt the official army is another matter.
At this moment, in the military tent of the Beijing camp, Niu Jizong, the regimental commander, sat high on a tiger-skin chair, with red military orders, pen, ink, paper, inkstones and other items placed on the table.
A sneer appeared on Niu Jizong's rough, bearded face. Sitting on the chairs below were the generals of Guoyong camp, such as the governor Tongzhi Che Zheng, the governor Qian Shi Lu He... and several civil servants.
Below, Cai Quan, dressed in military uniform, faced everyone's gaze, frowned and said, "The troops are about to leave the camp. I wonder what Governor Niu calls the general to do?"
Niu Jizong smiled and said: "I am here to give you a few words of advice. I heard that you are planning to let some unscrupulous people join your army to serve as military counselors. If you let the yellow-mouthed child's forehead delay the military flight, it will be delayed." Suppression of bandits is an important matter, so don’t blame me for not giving Lao Lu face at that time.”
Commander-in-Chief Lu He smiled and said, "The Commander-in-Chief handles matters according to military law. Although Cai Quan was promoted to the last general, he was promoted based on military merit. He previously assisted Jingzhao Yasi to capture the bandits and was promoted to Deputy Qian. Hu, the name is right, but if the troops are used unfavorably, then the general will have nothing to say."
Cai Quan couldn't help but feel cold when he heard this. He didn't know that one of the two was a good guy and the other a bad guy. They were obviously working together to dig a hole for him.
Although this man named Lu and Niu Jizong didn't say they were wearing a pair of trousers, they had already colluded.
First promote him to Deputy Qianhu, and then let him lead the army on an expedition. If he works in vain, loses troops and generals, and says that he will not be able to come back, then he will act according to military law.
Thinking of this, Cai Quan felt angry and said firmly: "Since the commander-in-chief has given the general the full authority with military orders, I don't think the commander-in-chief should interfere too much in how the general marches into the army."
If his past temperament had been followed, he would have swallowed his anger, but now that others are putting knives on their necks, he doesn't have any anger at all, so he shouldn't do this desperate business.
"I told you, I just want to give you a few words. It's up to you whether you listen or not. It's just the ugly words that come first." Niu Jizong smiled, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and thought: "Sure enough, who is playing tricks with others? Just like Jia Heng, they are both unruly and unruly."
Cai Quan cupped his hands and said: "The general has received the advice from the governor. If there is nothing else, the general will take the first step."
Niu Jizong waved his hand, as if to shoo away flies, and said coldly: "Go, I am waiting for your news."
Jieyin? Just relying on the seven or eight hundred people under your command, there is no place for the mourning to sound.
At this moment, I heard soldiers coming in from outside to report, clasping their fists and saying, "Captain, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mr. Qianshi, is here."
"Commander Qianshi of Jinyiwei? What are you doing here?" Niu Jizong's expression suddenly changed, he looked at Lu He, the commander-in-chief Qianshi beside him, left the case and stood up, and said: "Let's go out to greet him."
Even if they were dissatisfied with Emperor Chongping's rectification of the capital camp and even obstructed it in every possible way, facing the emperor's minions and the notorious Jin Yiwei, all the generals present still had to be afraid.
In particular, some middle-level generals came from humble backgrounds. Unlike Niu Jizong, who was a noble member of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs group, they were full of confidence. They still had a reverence for the imperial power.
The dark group of generals stood up and cheered, passing around Cai Quan on both sides, as if they were ignoring him.
Cai Quan's face was livid, and he looked at the empty tent, with a cold glint in his eyes. He snorted coldly, pressed the Yanling knife on his waist, and walked out of the tent.
But it was said that Jia Heng entered the camp with Jin Yiwei Qu Lang and Zhao Yi, and they went straight in.
For the two of them, Jia Heng didn't know much about the situation along the way.
Both of them hold the title of Baihu in the Beizhen Fusi. They are skilled in bow and horse, and are good at boxing and kicking. They were selected by Qiu Liang, who was specially appointed by Dai Quan as the Jinyiwei Town Fusi envoy. They are considered to be the better ones in the Jinyiwei Mansion.
When Jia Heng heard Qiu Liang's name, he immediately thought of a person named Qiu Duwei.
After careful questioning, it was discovered that there was only one person named Qiu among the Jinyi Guards, who was Qiu Liang, the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen.
Although his position is under the command of Qianshi, he still controls some specific Jinyi affairs.
This person is mentioned in the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and his son was injured by Feng Ziying. However, what is horrifying to think about is that it was this person who finally raided Jia's house.
"You need to pay attention to this person." Jia Heng's eyes flashed, thinking in his mind.
