In the official hall
Jia Heng almost drove straight in. It has to be said that the official title of fourth-level official command given by Emperor Chongping was quite useful.
He entered Yimen almost without waiting for the soldiers in front of Yun Mansion to stop him or report him.
This scene made Huang Tai secretly dumbfounded, looking at the young dignitaries on the side with a sense of awe in his heart.
Master Yun Jiedu was domineering, and this young powerful man was even more domineering.
Jia Heng has such confidence, because Yun Guang is a disciple of his Jia clan. As the clan leader, he has worked hard for the Jia clan, and he can't even enjoy this little convenience.
Of course, Jia Heng still had other plans for this move.
Jia Heng took in the guarding Huang Tai's expression in his eyes. Along the way, he also got to know Huang Tai somewhat. He didn't know how good his martial arts was, but his temperament was indeed a bit soft.
From his mouth, I learned the basic situation of the bandits in Cuihua Mountain. The officers and soldiers had launched several campaigns to suppress them, but to no avail. Judging from his words and demeanor, he also felt that Huang Tai was secretly resentful.
"If the bandits in Cuihua Mountain have spies in Chang'an County, they will not go out of the three yamen of garrison, county magistrate, and military governor. Otherwise, Niu Jizong sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack and returned without success. This is too false. , Make a bold assumption and verify carefully. The Cuihua Mountain thieves robbed merchants and attacked the convoy of the Princess Company. They must have gained a lot of silver. If the thieves were not stupid, they would target an official figure, and in fact they are not stupid either. Didn't Jia Zhen get hooked up? What role did Chang'an Jiedu play in this?"
Thinking of this, Jia Heng looked up at the four characters "loyalty, bravery and diligence" written on the plaque in the official hall, took back his eyes, and glanced at Huang Tai again.
"We'll find out later whether the two of them are together."
While Jia Heng was thinking about it, he saw several people coming quickly from the flower hall.
The gray-haired general who came towards me walked a few steps quickly, with a respectful expression on his face, and said with clasped fists, "I've seen the commander, Lord Qianshi, in command of Chang'an Jiedu."
After all, he is the Imperial Guard, a minion of the emperor, and an official of the capital, so Yun Guang naturally does not dare to offend him.
"Yun Jiedu, Chang'an County is full of bandits, but you are leisurely and at ease in the house." Jia Heng looked coldly, pressed the sword on his waist, sat aside, placed the sword heavily on several cases, and looked at it coldly With cloud light.
Behind him are Qu Lang and Zhao Yi, dressed in brocade and holding swords.
A flush appeared on Cai Quan's cheeks. He looked at the young man in brocade clothes and thought to himself, "This is what a man should do."
Hearing this, Yun Guang's heart trembled. He couldn't grasp the details of the young man. He cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have been suffering from cold recently and am staying in the mansion to recuperate. As for the bandits, I have already ordered the commander to suppress them. We are in the capital camp." …”
When he said this, he suddenly reacted and looked at Huang Tai and an unfamiliar sixth-grade military attache on the side. He frowned and said, "I wonder who they are?"
"Cai Quan, the leader of Guo Yong's camp in Beijing, has been ordered to exterminate the bandits. Lord Yun, this is an order from the Ministry of War and the governor." Cai Quan said coldly, seemingly inspired by something.
When Yun Guang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Jia Heng, his eyes flickering, and he was about to speak.
Suddenly, a deep shout was heard, exploding in his ears.
Jia Heng suddenly stood up and said: "We have repeatedly failed to suppress the enemy. The bandits disrupted the capital. They even sneaked into the sacred capital and committed crimes under the emperor's palace. The emperor was furious! Yun Guang, do you know your guilt?"
Two Yanling knives rubbing against the ground behind him suddenly came out of their sheaths. Jia Heng's heart was slightly moved, and he secretly said a divine assist.
Yun Guang was horrified, and because he didn't know the details of the person coming, he became even more afraid to act rashly.
Jia Heng? No, isn’t Jia Heng a white lady?
Jia Heng glanced at Huang Tai at this moment, and saw that although his expression was silent, his fists were clenched under his sleeves, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he had some guesses in his heart.
His so-called angry words from the emperor are not an edict, because the emperor was indeed very angry. He was so angry that he expelled Jia Zhen. Yunguang, the Chang'an Jiedu and Jingping, was not good for public security, and allowed thieves to flee to Shenjing City to commit crimes. How can evil be sinless!
And his current identity is the emperor's royal guard, the leader of the Jia clan, and a young powerful man. He must play this domineering role well.
Judging from the current situation, this cloud light is probably filled with ghosts.
Huang Tai's "micro-expression" reaction is on the one hand evidence that in the final analysis, Yun Guang is a disciple of the Jia clan, and the thieves colluded with Jia Zhen. The Cuihua Mountain thieves are so bold as to attack the convoy of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and they can even jump , these clues are entangled together.
Yun Guang's expression changed. He raised his head to look at the young man and said in a cold voice: "I don't know what to call this lord. If you ask about Yun's crime, is there an imperial edict or a written document from the Ministry of War? I am a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. If there is no imperial edict, He and the Ministry of War issued a document, please take back what you just said!"
Jia Heng sneered and shouted: "My officer, Jia Heng, you are responsible for the peace and stability of Chang'an. However, the day before yesterday, bandits entered the capital and disturbed the safety of your father. I cannot ask you for your negligence and incompetence!" "
Yun Guang suddenly heard the name "Jia Heng", his heart skipped a beat, his pupils shrank, and he looked at the young man in the flying fish suit in shock.
Jia Heng, isn’t he Bai Ding?
When did you get your official status? Could it be a fake... Impossible, with the Feiyu badge around his waist and the two guards behind him, who could be fake? Who dares to pretend?
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Yun Guang, when you were a general under the command of our ancestors from the Ning Kingdom, now you have become the governor of Chang'an, and your power has become more and more prominent, but you don't even recognize your benefactor? Well, wait until Jia returns, But I have to talk to the old lady and the second master."
Yun Guang's face changed, and he wanted to say something back, but when he heard what Jia Heng said was true, he felt resentment in his heart, but his face was calm and he didn't dare to respond.
No matter how much internal strife there is in the Jia family, if this person is in the position of clan leader, it will be difficult for him to contradict him face to face and follow the truth.
Regardless of the fact that Jia Heng's son is no more than a young man, he is in the fourth rank of Jinyi and commanding people's affairs, which is equal to his official rank. This is the prosperity of the Jia family!
Of course, Yun Guang did not know the specific reasons for Jia Hengzhi's official position at this moment.
"Son, when you go to suppress the bandits, we will discuss this again!"
Yun Guang hid the look of resentment in his eyes, cupped his hands, put on a flattering smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Unexpectedly, it was actually the benefactor of Rong Ning's second house in front of me. The official didn't know that he was Master Heng. If there is If the words are offensive, I would also like to ask Mr. Heng Haihan to wait for a while, and I will prepare a light banquet for you to cleanse yourself from the dust."
Jia Heng nodded, and put away the words of guilt he had just said, but his expression was still a little cold, and said in a deep voice: "What is going on with the bandits in Cuihua Mountain? Why can't they be exterminated despite repeated attempts, and they are even allowed to plunder the Jin Dynasty?" Princess Yang’s motorcade?”
Yun Guang looked troubled and said: "Brother, I don't know. This group of bandits is not large in number, only about four or five hundred people. But they are hiding in the mountains. Once the officers and soldiers move in to suppress them, they will get wind of them." Escape, the Jingying camp came down to suppress them twice, but all efforts were in vain. This Cai Qianhu should know that the subordinate soldiers under Xiaguan are not as powerful as the Jingying camp, and they are even more unable to annihilate them."
Jia Heng frowned, sat down again, picked up the tea cup beside him, took a sip, and said, "Why don't you send troops to guard the intersection?"
Yun Guang's face was stunned for a moment, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that we haven't sent troops to guard the three intersections, but the soldiers have their own duties, so it's not a long-term solution. Besides, there are not enough troops sent. These bandits even have the audacity to attack the official army. If there are too many, we need to choose another location, and there are a lot of money, food and personnel involved, up and down."
In fact, sending troops to guard and guard the intersection where the incident occurred is also a way, but Yunguang obviously does not want to really wipe out the bandits.
Jia Heng said: "That's right. Qingfu is still alive and the disaster of Shandong is not over. If these bandits are not uprooted, the commercial roads of Chang'an County will not be peaceful. Yun Jiedu, you will find all the maps near Cuihua Mountain and send another general We have all the weapons, food and grass supplied. Tomorrow, Cai Qianhu and I will figure out a way to see if we can lure this group of bandits out."
Yun Guang smiled and said: "Okay, I wonder how many troops the young master will lead on this trip? If there are not enough soldiers, there are still 500 people under the general's command. Of course, when the young master suppresses bandits, the general will not be able to do anything even if he is sick. Be there to help.”
Jia Heng winked at Cai Quan. Cai Quan immediately handed over the military survey and said in a deep voice: "Captain Niu has allocated a thousand soldiers. They are all elite and brave. There is no need for you to send troops to help suppress the attack."
When Yun Guang heard this, he was disappointed in his heart, but he still smiled and said complimentarily: "Young master is a brave young man with extraordinary courage. He really has the demeanor of the old prince."
A hint of "arrogance" appeared on Jia Heng's face at the right time, and he said with emotion: "I am the heir of Ning Guogong. I must imitate the bravery of my ancestors and strive to be the first!"
Seeing this, Yun Guang echoed a few words of praise, and then said a few words briefly. After Jia Heng temporarily declined the invitation to meet Feng Xichen, he ordered Huang Shoubei to entertain the troops in the capital camp and escorted Jia Heng out of the house. Yamen, his face turned gloomy.
"My child, you bullied me too much!" Yun Guang said angrily, his scarred face twitched, his eyes were filled with cold light, and his heart was boiling with murderous intent.
Although he claimed to be a disciple of the Jia clan, he did so just to take advantage of the Jia clan's power in the army. Now he was humiliated by a commoner, which was a great shame and humiliation!
But he said that Jia Heng and Cai Quan left the Yunguang Mansion together and headed towards the barracks under the leadership of Huang Shoubei.
When they arrived at the barracks, Jia Heng stretched out his hand to call Huang Tai and said in a clear voice: "Huang Shou Bei, you have served as a guard and capture officer in Chang'an County for many years, and you have a deep understanding of thieves and enemies. I will ask you something later."
Huang Tai's eyes moved slightly, and he felt a little hesitant, but when he met those sharp and bright eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, he cupped his hands and said, "I accept my order."
After Huang Tai left, Cai Quan also frowned and said, "Brother, there seems to be something wrong with Yun Jiedu."
"Brother Cai also noticed it." Jia Heng said with a slight smile.
Cai Quan is very thoughtful, so it is not surprising that he can see some problems from his perspective.
"Last time the army invaded, I felt..." Cai Quan was about to say, but Jia Heng stopped him with his eyes. Knowing that this was not the place to speak, the two of them headed towards the barracks.
Since he was leading the army in a separate barracks, Jia Heng, Qu Lang and Zhao Yi were on alert in all directions before looking towards Cai Quan.
Cai Quan lowered his voice and said: "We moved forward to suppress the attack first. The army mobilized 3,000 people and sent scouts at three forks to patrol along the official road. However, the bandits detected the movement in advance and moved Sichuan to Beijing before their eyes. Seven thousand pieces of Shu brocade from the Sangji Chamber of Commerce came and were robbed. At that time, my brother felt that there was something wrong. The bandits in Cuihua Mountain were too fast. If no one informed them, who would believe it?"
Jia Heng said: "Did Yun Guang send out troops at that time?"
"Four hundred people came out to help transport the grain. The Beijing camp transferred 2,500 people to the first guard. It was the guerrilla general Xie Jing who brought a hundred people over." Cai Quan said.
Jia Heng frowned and said, "That's it. I think Yun Guang is very suspicious."
Cai Quan said: "Since we already know... why not go straight to Huanglong?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "No, we have few soldiers. We must use tactics to mobilize some of these bandits, and then select hundreds of young and strong elites to quickly attack their lairs."
Cai Quan's eyes lit up and he said, "What's the plan?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "You will know later."
Whether or not this group of bandits can be completely annihilated lies not only in destroying their nests, but also in completely eradicating the bandit leader. However, it is impossible to completely annihilate the bandits with a few hundred weak troops from the Beijing camp.
Once the tiger is allowed to return to the mountain, the harm will be endless.
"That Huang Shoubei has 1,200 soldiers under his command. Let's see if we can persuade him to dispatch a force to help suppress the attack. He will not go into the mountains, but stay on the fork in the commercial road." Jia Heng thought.
Because the garrison has the responsibility to capture the bandits, but in recent years, bandits have emerged in various provinces, making it difficult for the officers and soldiers to control them. Some bandits actually attacked the county town. Li Zan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, in order to prevent the local garrison from greedy for catching bandits, left the city empty for bandits to take advantage of, and attacked the soldiers. Scheduling controls are becoming more stringent.

The two of them decided on a plan and went separately to settle the soldiers.
After lunch, the eight hundred soldiers in the Beijing camp began to select elites under Cai Quan's instruction.
Over here, Jia Heng also used the excuse of a lack of weapons to discuss the enemy's situation and summoned Huang Shouwei.
In the barracks with green walls and green walls, two guards in golden robes guarded the door. It was in the afternoon, and from the sycamore trees in the distance, a few birdsong could be heard from time to time.
Huang Tai entered the barracks with a solemn expression and complicated thoughts. He bowed to the young man and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Jia, please call me."
Jia Heng looked at Huang Tai with a smile on his face, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Master Huang, please sit down."
With that said, he turned around, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea.
"Thank you, sir." Huang Tai thanked him, sat down, and looked at the young man anxiously.
Just now when he visited the government office and saw the young man scolding Yun Guang with his own eyes, Huang Tai felt a little wary and cautious.
Jia Heng took two cups of tea and handed one over. After Huang Taicheng stood up to take it in fear, he smiled and said warmly: "In what year did Mr. Huang join the army?"
He learned this from his instructor in his previous life.
Huang Tai held the tea and said respectfully: "Back to Mr. Jia, when I was sixteen years old, I was working in farming and studying at home. I was on duty in the county to recruit brave men to suppress bandits. The village gave up young men and sent them to my home. At that time, I was the only adult in the family. I joined the army and it has been twenty years in a flash."
Jia Heng looked at him with admiration and said: "From a boy from a peasant family to a sixth-grade military attache of the country, Mr. Huang's journey has not been easy. I guess he is conscientious and has achieved great results through hard work."
Huang Tai smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed and said: "I dare not say credit for my hard work, but I still have some hard work. Fortunately, my predecessor, Lord Jiedu, took pity on me and was loyal and diligent, so I gave him some support."
Chapter 133: Suppressing Bandits in Cuihua Mountain
