The night was low, and the wind and rain were like darkness. Standing in the second-story attic in the southeast of the eldest princess's mansion, it was brightly lit and as bright as day.
Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue returned to their own room knowingly, leaving Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang alone in the attic.
Yuanchun and Lianxue also went down to the second floor and came to the first floor. The two girls were drinking tea and chatting, chatting sometimes and not while waiting for instructions from the two people upstairs.
Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang hugged each other for a while. His eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the embroidered fabric on the beauty's hand, and asked curiously: "What are you embroidering?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled softly, her beautiful eyes under her eyebrows were charming and her pink lips were slightly gleaming under the candlelight. She picked up the fabric in her hand and said softly: "Clothes for children to wear during the full moon."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression paused slightly, and he stared at the beauty's soft and beautiful eyes. After a moment, he whispered: "Li'er, let's have a child."
Jin Yang talked about the child, almost like Ke Qing.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said "hmm", put her head against Jia Heng's arms, and said softly: "What's going on with your body? It's been a long time, and Keqing and I haven't seen any movement in our stomachs. "
Jia Heng built a snowman and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's nothing. He may have grown taller in the past two years. Maybe it's because we've been together for a long time."
In recent times, the strength of the body has gradually stabilized. Maybe the fusion process is slowing down. Maybe there will be a child? Anyway, you can try it.
"Tall?" Princess Jinyang blinked her beautiful eyes under her beautiful eyebrows, and there was a strange feeling in her heart.
"The male is twenty-three, and the female is only one." Jia Heng leaned close to the beauty's ear and whispered.
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang sighed quietly and said sadly: "Speaking of which, I am not young anymore."
"Why are you making such excuses again?" Jia Heng said helplessly, hugged Princess Jinyang, and said softly: "It's getting late, why don't we take a rest first."
Living in the open air in Yuehai Fengfan for more than a month, he lived an almost ascetic life. He didn't believe that there were so many people that none of Jinyang could use.
Princess Jinyang's cheeks were slightly red, and her delicate body was a little hot. She said in a low voice: "Why don't you call Yuan Chun later? This will save you the trouble of running back and forth."
Jia Heng thought for a moment, then paused and said, "That's fine."
After all, it's not the first time, so that's fine.
At this moment, Yuan Chun was talking to Lianxue outside the attic. When he heard Jia Heng's call from the stairs, his heart skipped a beat, his round and round face turned red with shame, and he headed towards the second floor.
Under Yuanchun's curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as soft as water as she looked at the young man and asked, "Brother Heng, are you calling me?"
Jia Heng nodded, stepped forward and took Yuan Chun's hand, hugged the plump and soft body into his arms, and said with a chuckle: "Sister, it's night, let's go and have a rest."
Yuanchun said shyly and angrily: "You and His Highness...why bother calling me."
Having said that, he still followed Jia Heng into the inner compartment.
…
…
In the Zhen Family Manor, at night in Xu, the entire Zhen Family Manor was silent except for the sound of raindrops hitting the banana leaves in the courtyard.
On the attic, a woman wearing a plain blue lily dress was taking off her makeup in the mirror. A naturally beautiful and charming face was reflected in the diamond-shaped bronze mirror. She turned around and looked to the side. Zhen Xue said: "Does my sister know that he is back?"
Zhen Xue was flipping through a book of music scores. She raised her bright eyes under her eyebrows and said softly: "Such a big thing happened here in Jinling. It's time to come back."
After saying that, he looked at Zhen Qing and asked in surprise: Sister won't be looking for him tomorrow, right? "
Zhen Qing's round, crisp millstone left the chair, came to Zhen Xue, and whispered: "He said at the beginning that if there was a chance, he would let the second uncle and the fourth uncle get back together. I want to go and ask about the situation tomorrow. "
Zhen Xuejing nodded, her eyes moved, and she said softly: "He may have to inspect Jiang Fang tomorrow, and he may not have time to play around with his sister."
Zhen Qing's face turned red with embarrassment, and she said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did my sister go? I'm looking for him to have something serious to do."
Is she the kind of person who plays in a hazy manner without caring about the overall situation?
Zhen Xue thought for a while and said softly: "Then sister will probably go earlier tomorrow. Now that the enemy army is approaching, Ziyu will probably go to the Jiangnan camp to handle military affairs."
Zhen Qing said softly: "I will go there early tomorrow just to ask about my second uncle's relapse."
"Then I'll go with my sister." Zhen Xue said softly and explained: "I haven't seen my sister Xi'er for a while."
Zhen Qing: "???"
No, you've been talking for a long time, but you still come together? Who is this person I haven’t seen for a while?
Ningguo Mansion
The mansion occupies a vast area with numerous houses, and there are many empty courtyards hidden among the trees. Baochai has a small courtyard by himself, while Xiangyun and Tanchun live in a small courtyard together.
"Girl." Ying'er walked up to Baochai at this time, helped Baochai remove the jewelry on his head, and put it in the brocade box.
In the beautifully decorated bronze mirror, the beautiful girl took off the earrings from her earlobes, placed them in the brocade box beside her, and sighed softly.
Ying'er said in surprise: "What is the girl sighing for?"
Baochai's face was as greasy as pear pistils, with a worried look on her face, and she sighed again: "It's nothing."
Ying'er closed the jewelry box, her eyes moved slightly, and she had some guesses in her mind. She said softly: "The uncle will be busy with military affairs when he comes back, and he won't have time to come over and look at the girl."
Baochai was silent for a moment and said softly: "That's not the case. He is busy with important affairs of the court, so he shouldn't hang around me."
Just before he left, she glanced at Qi'er out of nowhere, and the look in his eyes was full of love and reluctance, which almost startled her.
That look in her eyes was all too familiar to her. It was full of love and obsession. Could it be that Yan'er had already made a life-long commitment to him in Jiangnan?
No, it's probably because Mei'er has an unrequited love. He is the kind of person who makes people's minds wander after being together for a long time.
Baochai couldn't confirm it at the moment, and couldn't easily tell Ying'er what was on his mind.
However, Ying'er took the initiative to start talking and whispered: "Girl, what do you think happened to the fourth girl of the Zhen family? How come the good legitimate daughter of the Zhen family came to the house?"
Baochai said softly: "The Zhen family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. I guess there are reasons for doing this."
In fact, she could also guess some of the reasons. Mrs. Zhen passed away, and the Zhen family was defeated by the Navy not long ago.
Ying'er pursed her lips and said softly: "Uncle, he has only been away from the capital for a short time, and he is already flirting with women. Here comes another Miss Zhen."
Baochai frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes flashed, and her beautiful face was filled with thoughts, and she said softly: "Plant the sycamore tree, and a phoenix will come. That day, Huang Guizhou, the imperial daughter of the clan, was not Sacrifice your face? You can’t blame him.”
Isn't she just a moth flying into the flame and throwing herself into a trap?
Ying'er sighed softly: "Well, a person's heart is only one, how can it be divided into several parts? Grandpa Heng should have declined politely."
Well, actually, the girl didn't know a little trivia: the human heart is really divided into several valves, the left atrium, the right atrium, the left ventricle, the right ventricle... Even if one is installed in one place, it can hold four people.
Baochai pursed her pink lips, looked far away, and whispered: "Brother Heng actually has his own difficulties. Zhen Jia has been friends for several generations. In addition, Mrs. Zhen is leaving an orphan on her deathbed. There is no need to worry. There is nothing else." Obstruction.”
She should be on the same level as Sister Qin, otherwise she wouldn't have caused such a big disturbance in the first place, and her love for her was not fake, and she had the promise of her status.
As for those maids like Qingwen, she had never been worried. The men were not greedy. Besides, she looked at Qingwen with her eyes open, so it should be nothing.
There were also Second Sister You and Third Sister You. She thought the colors were too bright when she looked at them, and she didn't see him touching them either.
Outside the mansion, she is the Princess of Xianning. As for the princess inside the mansion, now she looks like...
In fact, if you look at it from Baochai's perspective, there are enemies everywhere in the Jia Mansion.
It looks like Sanchun Zhufang and Miao Xiangyun, but these people have no connection with Jia Heng. In other words, if Daiyu did not come out halfway, there would only be Baochai as the real owner from the beginning to the end.
As for Qingwen and Yuanyang, you must know that even in the original version of Red Mansions, the jealous Daiyu can call her sister-in-law and make fun of Xiren, because in her eyes, they are similar to the maids who live in the same house.
Sister Feng's act of killing everyone around Jia Lian was already an extremely aggressive and rare act, but she still did not stop Jia Lian.
In other words, we simply cannot look at it from the perspective of the industrial age.
Ying'er thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Girl, how about I look for the attacker in the past two days and inquire about it."
Baochai was startled for a moment and looked at Ying'er. His apricot eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows were surprised and asked, "Did you see it too?"
Both master and servant are good at observing words and emotions.
Ying'er looked around and saw that no one else was there, then she lowered her voice and said, "When Uncle Heng came back, I saw Miss Lin shed tears and she was about to cry."
When Baochai heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and suddenly there was a sudden realization in her heart. Her pink lips twitched, and she said softly: "Are you crying?"
This is indeed a detail that the girl didn't pay attention to just now, because she just looked at Jia Heng and didn't pay attention to the change in Daiyu's eyes.
Ying'er frowned and said in a low voice: "Girl, I don't think it's like that. I'm afraid it's just something that happened when I went south. This Miss Lin is also true. She is obviously with Bao Er." We have grown up together, and it is said that it is good for two people to be annoyed and to be annoyed, but it is too rude for such a well-behaved person to be with the uncle."
"Ying'er!" Baochai frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her jade-like face was like frost, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't say such nonsense in the future."
Ying'er's face paused, and she sighed and said, "That means the girl has a good temper. Look at Miss Lin these days, she seems like the mistress of Ningguo Mansion."
In the past few days, some of Daiyu's bosses have been doing things, such as arranging the courtyard where Baochai, Xiangyun and Tanchun live in Ningguo Mansion, and instructing the maids and nannies to prepare bedding, clothes and other daily necessities for several people. She looked like a hostess.
This scene fell into Ying'er's eyes, and she felt a little sorry for Baochai.
As for Daiyu, she had previously suspected that Jiaheng and Baochai had some clues. However, as they entered the period of love and after leaving Shenjing, the previous speculations became lighter, or they did not bother to look for Jiaheng. ask.
Baochai licked her pink lips, looked attentively for a moment, and said softly: "Actually, that look is not necessarily true, maybe it's just a relationship between cousins, not as we thought, and she has a simple mind, maybe she's just like this I am grateful like a father and a brother and have no other thoughts.”
At this moment, the girl subconsciously thought about the good things and began to comfort herself.
Ying'er said: "It's hard to say that someone as provocative as this uncle is still top-notch even in the Han Dynasty."
Baochai was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Zi'er never cares about those things. If she has them, it must be for other reasons."
He is indeed unparalleled in the world. Even if he is a commoner, she is willing to share the joys and sorrows with him and accompany him to great success.
If she had come to Beijing earlier, Sister Qin's marriage to him would have had many twists and turns. At that time, she... might not be like this.
Ying'er whispered: "Then the girl will wait for the uncle to come over and then ask the uncle?"
Baochai said "Hmm", and under the orange candlelight, her white jade face showed a look of confusion, but she sighed quietly in her heart.
It's not easy to ask about such things, you can only pretend not to know.
Did Yan'er really fall in love with him? But when I first saw him, I couldn't tell at all.
Just when Baochai was thinking about the relationship between Daiyu and Jia Heng, in the courtyard where Daiyu was, the orange candlelight projected a petite and exquisite figure on the screen. The rain outside the window hit the banana trees and fell on the eaves tiles.
Daiyu had just washed her feet and was sitting on the bed covered with a quilt. She was holding a book of poems in her hand and looking at the lamplight. When she heard the light footsteps, she raised her head and stared at Zicuckoo.
Zicuckoo took a cup of cheese tea and said softly: "Girl, after drinking tea, you can sleep more soundly."
Daiyu put down the collection of poems in her hand, opened the quilt, put her little feet as tender as diamonds into her shoes, and under her smoky brows, candlelight danced faintly in her bright eyes like stars, and asked softly: "Brother Heng, what are you doing now?" Haven’t come back yet?”
"Maybe I have something serious to do and I won't be back tonight." Zicuckoo's bright eyes flashed and she whispered, "Girl, I'll fall asleep early, so there's no need to wait."
Daiyu's face paused, Fangxin was inevitably disappointed, she reached out and took the tea cup, took a sip gently, after a while, handed over the tea cup, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Sister Zijuan, what do you think of Sister Bao and her?" Brother Heng..."
Just as Jia Heng thought, in the Red Mansion, Xue and Lin were secretly superior to each other, and this could not be resolved by just a few words.
Zicuckoo hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I can't say that. If you don't want to wait for the uncle to come back, why don't you ask?"
When Daiyu heard this, her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and her starry eyes said angrily, "How can this be a good question? It concerns the honor of my daughter's family."
Zijuan smiled and comforted her softly: "Girl, don't worry. The uncle treats girls differently from others."
In her opinion, as a merchant of the Xue family, even if she really has any friendship with the uncle, she is probably just a concubine and is not something to be afraid of.
Her girl comes from a noble family and has a master behind her, so she will never be wronged.
Daiyu's starry eyes were stunned and she sighed softly.
The next day, the morning light dewed slightly, and the faint autumn wind blew the sycamore trees in the courtyard. The rustling sound entered the bed through the window. Jia Heng suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly he saw a pair of soft and watery eyes looking at him carefully. Own.
"Are you awake?" The eldest princess of Jinyang held up her arm as white as lotus root with one hand, and a strand of hair hanging down her cheek rested on the delicate jade-like collarbone under her beautiful neck. The full moon even appeared in Jia Hengshi's sight. Feeling a bit oppressive.
Jia Heng took Princess Jinyang's bare hand, smiled and asked, "When is it?"
Last night I kept tossing it until late at night, and it was really love-making for several times.
"It's time. I thought you'd have a good rest after all the hard work." Princess Jinyang said softly with a smile on her face.
Not only was it tiring from traveling on the road, but last night was also tiring.
Jia Heng said: "I have to go to Tongzhou to defend the port later, so I can't sleep in."
After saying that, he asked: "Where is the eldest sister?"
"She?" Princess Jinyang's sweet voice was a little funny, and she said softly: "She went to take a bath. She has missed you too much during this period. She hasn't seen you for two months."
Thinking of the girl lying on his back yesterday, who was as soft as cotton, I felt a little emotional in my heart. No wonder he liked to hold Yuanchun.
Jia Heng's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he dismissed yesterday's absurdity and charm from his mind, and whispered: "Get up first, I'll take a shower, and go to Jiangnan camp later."
With that said, Jia Heng got up, put on his clothes, and after bathing with Princess Jinyang, they went to the inner hall of the backyard to have breakfast together.
At this moment, Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe have been waiting for a while, but they have not seen Yuan Chun. Obviously, the Dragon King last night was extremely embarrassed.
Princess Xianning stepped forward to greet him, her bright eyes filled with surprise, and said, "Mr."
She couldn't help but glance to the side, and when she saw the radiant Princess Jinyang, whose face was white and rosy, she couldn't help suppressing the strangeness in her heart and asked: "Sir, are you going to the Jiangnan camp today?"
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Send someone to inform your cousin that she will go to Tongzhou to defend the port later."
Princess Xianning said in a clear voice: "Sir, let me go too. I have all the clothes ready."
There is nothing to do with her here anyway, so she might as well go with her husband, just like in Henan, staying with her day and night.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm not going to fight today. I'm just going to check out the situation. You can follow me."
At this time, the eldest princess of Jinyang sat down, listened to the two people talking, and said softly: "Okay, let's eat."
Jia Heng responded with "Yes", then washed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating breakfast.
After breakfast, he and Princess Xianning, who was wearing Feiyu uniform, went to the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, mobilized a troop of soldiers and horses, and went to Tongzhou Weiport to join the navy.
Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue went to Ningguo Mansion to look for Jia Heng, but they were in vain. When they heard that Jia Heng was going to the princess's mansion, they unexpectedly went to see Xianning. Li was so popular that she accompanied Zhen Xi at Ningguo Mansion. Had a conversation.
News of Jia Heng's return to Jinling also spread throughout Jinling City, and the panicked people in Jinling City gradually became calmer.
Jia Heng boarded a ship with the retinue of Jinyi Mansion Guards and headed for Tongzhou Weigang. It was late autumn, and the autumn rains in the South were falling continuously. The coldness was gradually coming. As far as the eye could see, the leaves were withered and yellow, creating a desolate scene.
On the boat, Jia Heng stood in the cabin, opened the bamboo curtain, looked at the river bank running backward in the distance, and thought about the strategy to fight the enemy.
Chen Xiao was sorting out the map not far away and said, "Li Shu and the others arrived at Taiping Mansion the day before yesterday. According to the itinerary, they can reach Jinling in three days."
Jia Heng said: "Three days are not short."
While they were talking, Princess Xianning entered the cabin, with a look of concern on her fair and snowy skin, and said softly: "Sir, it's time for lunch."
Immediately, he took two food boxes and placed them on the table. He took out some plates with dishes and placed them one by one.
Jia Hengxing came closer and praised with a smile on his face: "It looks very rich. Did you make it?"
"When I was free and bored, I learned how to cook a few dishes from the imperial chef. I haven't cooked them for many years, and my skills are rusty. I don't know if they suit your taste." Princess Xianning raised her beautiful face and smiled. said.
Jia Heng took Princess Xianning's bare hand and said softly: "It looks delicious, looks delicious, and you can't do this often if you don't have Yang Chun Shui on your fingers."
"I am your husband's wife... a soldier, and this is what I should do." Princess Xianning whispered, her cheeks slightly red, she glanced at Chen Xiao and quickly changed her words.
My husband said yesterday that she is not young anymore and it is time to marry her.
Chen Xiao put down the map in his hand and listened to the conversation between the two. It was delicious, clean, and his wife...
I don't know why, but there was an unreasonable annoyance in my heart. I glanced at Princess Xianning, and lingered for a moment on the beautiful eyebrows that someone often said were very similar to her appearance and charm. She said in a clear voice: "The soldiers are going to the battle to kill. It’s the maid who brings tea and water to the enemy.”
Princess Xianning: "???"
What happened to my cousin today? Seems like he's targeting her? When she came here just now, she said that the fighting on the front line was too dangerous and asked her to go back quickly.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao and said softly: "Miss Xiao, come over for lunch."
Soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy? Well, Xiaoxiao's mental activity should be... so that she can take on important responsibilities.
Listening to Miss Xiao ringing in his ears, Chen Xiao's clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows became a little darker. She walked over and said in a low voice: "You must bring Xianning over. Xianning's martial arts are ordinary. If you encounter any danger, you still need to score points." My heart protects her.”
Chen Xiao is two years older than Princess Xianning, and Princess Xianning has been playing with Chen Xiao since she was a child.
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked fixedly at Chen Xiao until the latter looked a little uncomfortable. Then he chuckled and said: "You are not here here. You take good care of her. Besides, this is just an inspection, and I Don’t take her forward.”
Chen Xiao pursed his lips, listened to the young man's kind and natural words, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and calmed down.
What happened to her just now? She shouldn't be acting like a sister. It seemed like she didn't like Xian Ning following her.
Thinking of this, the girl's heart skipped a beat, her brows furrowed, and she quickly smoothed away the sudden ripples in her heart.
Princess Xianning Yingying sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and turned to look at Chen Xiao, who was lowering his head to eat rice. She did not doubt that he was there, and asked curiously: "Sister Xiao, you went to Haojing with Mr., that Hongyi firearm how?"
Chen Xiao adjusted his mentality. Although his voice was as cold as ever, he no longer had any strange thoughts. He said: "The Hongyi fire gun has a longer range and is indeed unique in firearms making. If it is introduced this time, it should be able to play a role in sea battles." To the effect of a surprise weapon."
Jia Heng picked up a piece of meat, put it in Xianning's bowl, and said softly: "Xianning, eat some too."
Princess Xianning's clear eyes were as calm as water, and she chuckled: "Sir, I'm not very hungry. You and your cousin can just eat."
Jia Heng said softly: "Your cooking skills are pretty good, although not as good as Xiao...your cousin can cook several types of cuisine."
Perhaps because he had been "stepping on one, holding one, and behaving like a queen" in the past, Xiaoxiao was subconsciously rejecting Xianning and needed to be pulled back.
Princess Xianning chuckled and said, "My cousin is the one who cooks delicious food. I also learned from my cousin when I was a child."
Chen Xiao picked up a pair of eggs with chopsticks and put them in a bowl. He looked at Princess Xianning and said softly, "Sister Zhier's cooking skills have improved much compared to when she was a child."
Princess Xianning sighed softly and whispered: "After you left, I usually cook less."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and did not follow Princess Xianning's words.
After lunch, Princess Xianning packed up the dishes and then left the cabin carrying two food boxes.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao, walked closer, and said softly: "Xianning has been thinking about you all these years."
"I know." Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and said softly.
Jia Heng took a cup of tea, handed it over, and said warmly: "No matter what, the grievances of the previous generation should not be extended to the next generation."
Chen Xiao took the tea cup, took a sip, looked at Jia Heng and said, "Not originally. Xianning and I grew up together, and I have always regarded her as my sister."
Jia Heng took the tea cup and put it aside. He looked at the girl opposite him. He suddenly took his hand and gently wrapped it around Chen Xiao's waist. He hugged her into his arms and asked, "So...were you jealous just now?"
When Chen Xiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, as if the word "jealous" had struck his mind. His face, as cold as snow, turned as crimson as clouds, and his clear black and white eyes met the young man's hot gaze, and he lowered his voice and said : "You, please let me go, Xianning will be here soon."
If Xianning came in at this time and saw her and him...it would be nothing, right?
Well, thinking about this, for some reason, the irritability in my heart seems to have dissipated a lot? this?
"You, um~" Chen Xiaoning's eyes widened, and then he saw the warmth and softness approaching. He had looked at it for a long time, and thought he had calmed down. When it was his turn, he still felt at a loss. It seemed that the shadow was approaching and he couldn't hide at all. Can't escape.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao, who was distracted, and asked, "Are you okay?"
It was just a brief taste, but what made him happy was that Xiaoxiao was not so dull that she was unconscious. Although the shyness and avoidance just now were slight, they were really the behavior of children of this age group.
Chen Xiao looked at the young man opposite with complex eyes at this moment. The blush on his face and cheeks had not faded, and he whispered: "Why?"
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly: "Maybe... I'm afraid you'll use too much vinegar in cooking in the future?"
In fact, he just wanted to stamp it. He had had this idea before in Guangdong Province, but he felt that the time might not be suitable. He didn't want Xiaoxiao to raise his hand and slap him.
Chen Xiao's cold eyes narrowed under Liu Ye's eyebrows, and he said quietly: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Xian Ning?"
Jia Heng's expression paused and he whispered: "She can't tell...it's not necessarily that she thinks it's more interesting."
With Xianning's temperament, could he secretly hide in the closet, his cheeks flushed, and take a closer look?
Chen Xiao: "???"
With the mind of a young girl, she was confused for a moment and then understood. Fangxin could not help but say in embarrassment, "You...you."
Does this mean she and Xian Ning are the two enchanting concubines of the Zhen family?
Jia Heng said softly: "Goodbye, you have never seen me before, I am making such a fuss."
With that said, he came to the map, looked at the terrain around Haimen, and thought about the arrangements for the naval battle.
Chen Xiao also calmed down now, came to Jia Heng and looked at the map beside him.
When Zhenhaiwei's general Wei Che and Jiedu judge Feng Ji, as well as several generals who stayed in the Zhenhai navy, saw the young man in python suit arriving, they hurriedly came up to greet him and said politely: "I have seen Uncle Yongning in my humble position."
Jia Heng glanced at Feng Ji and other generals, and said: "Everyone is exempt from the courtesy."
Immediately, he asked in a deep voice: "How is the war going these days?"
Feng Ji reported back: "My lord, the North Korean Navy invited a battle at Haimen today. Our troops had a preliminary battle with them, and we both won or lost."
The Jiangbei and Jiangnan naval forces had a total of 10,000 men. Although they did not directly engage in large-scale battles with the North Korean Navy, the two sides also had tentative battles at the mouth of the river.
Jia Heng said: "How is the combat strength of the North Korean Navy?"
Feng Ji looked at General Wei Che on the side and asked, "General Wei previously led troops to fight against the North Korean Navy."
"They are skilled in water warfare, and the combat power of a small group of elite soldiers is not lower than that of the official army, but is even better than that of the official army." Wei Che said in a low voice with a solemn expression.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "In the past two or three days, we will first fight with the North Korean navy in small groups, and then wait for Taicang, Suzhou Prefecture and other places. It is not suitable for our army to engage in large-scale battles with the enemy."
If the flanking attacks by the government troops in Taicang, Suzhou and other places were not cleared, Duduo would never dare to invade Jinling from Haimen, because the long and narrow river mouth could easily be closed and beaten.
Feng Ji reminded: "But it can't be delayed for too long. If they divide their forces and resist the officers and soldiers from Susong and other places all the way from Jiangkou to Jinling, this battle will be inevitable."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Delay for time first, and then make calculations. The time is mine. When the Fuzhou Navy arrives, our chances of winning will be better."
Seeing this, Feng Ji could only nod in agreement and didn't say much else.
In the evening, news came from Songjiang, Taicang and other places that the North Korean navy and pirates had landed and fought with the officers and soldiers of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. The local guards suffered heavy casualties.
For a time, the entire Songjiang Prefecture, Jiading, Shanghai and other places were in flames of war, and the news of the defeat of the government troops spread to Jinling City.
Duduo knew that he was coming from the ocean and needed to fight quickly, so he sent his navy to attack the river mouth. However, Chen Han's infantry and cavalry were guarding both sides of the river, and they could not go straight in. Therefore, they divided their troops and landed in Shanghai and Jiading to contain Chen Han's troops. .
In the city of Jinling, Jia Heng was seen sitting on the navy but not fighting. There was an undercurrent surging. This time he finally got the opportunity to criticize. The memorial to impeach Jia Heng was rushed to the capital at a speed of 600 miles like snowflakes.
The general idea is why the Navy didn't go to war? Let the pirates plunder Songjiang, Jiading and other places? !
In fact, when the news of the police in the southern country reached the capital not long ago, and Jia Heng had not returned to Jinling at that time, the entire Han Dynasty once again focused its attention on the southeast.
