When the emperor asked Jia Cong to be the supervisor of the Pingxi Army, it was more to contain and supervise Wang Ziteng as the commander.
But I didn't expect that this kid would be chased by God, and he would open his mouth and feed him hard.
First, he braved life and death and recaptured Liangzhou from the Xining army at a very small cost, and then withstood the attack of a hundred thousand troops of Wala.
Forget it, they actually sent 10,000 people to go north to the grassland, turning the Oala hinterland upside down and solving the problem of insufficient food and grass for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
In the end, a surprise attack from thousands of miles away was launched, and the court of Wala Khan was captured, and a large number of relatives and nobles including King Wala Khan were captured.
Jia Cong took half of the credit for pacifying Hexi.
The emperor's brain began to hurt. As an emperor, he must be rewarded for his merits, but how to reward him became a problem.
This kid is only eleven years old, which means he is only twelve years old. How can he be knighted? Now he is a hereditary county uncle. He was granted an official title and had several official titles of three or three grades on his body.
How should the reward be given? We can't reward a hereditary and irreplaceable marquis anymore. He has to think about the future.
Jia Cong supported the Supreme Emperor and walked slowly by the Taiye Pool. Finally, he sat on the big bluestone beside the pool and told the old man his experiences in Hexi like a storyteller.
The Supreme Emperor, who has been dealing with the Wala people for decades, can clearly feel the tremendous pressure Jia Cong faced when he was in Liangzhou.
Jia Cong was able to protect Liangzhou under such circumstances and bought precious time for the court. It can be said that Wang Ziteng's ability to arrange things calmly was inseparable from what Jia Cong did in Liangzhou.
However, in the opinion of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Cong's performance in this battle still has a lot to improve.
I like taking risks too much. Although I am forced by the situation, I am still too adventurous.
As long as there is a problem in any part of the process, not to mention Liangzhou, even Jia Cong and the soldiers and people who followed him will die under the butcher's knife of the Wala people.
"Boy Cong, I don't intend to reward you this time, I'm going to punish you..."
ah?
The Supreme Emperor asked Dai Quan to get the ruler he used to teach the prince, and slapped it on Jia Cong's palm.
I only heard the Supreme Emperor sternly reprimanding: "As a general, you must be extremely careful, how can you take risks again and again? Do you know why your grandfather and I were able to conquer the grassland five times without losing a single defeat? Before winning, think about defeat first, prepare complete strategies, and act cautiously Things……"
Jia Cong's palm received a heavy blow, and it immediately became red and swollen.
At first, he thought the old man's temper was inexplicable, but then he was so frightened by the Emperor's explanation that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Although the Supreme Emperor has some hindsight, Jia Cong's strategies are as childish as playing house with a child in front of this old man who has been fighting for a lifetime.
Of course, other people don't dare to say this. Who is qualified to say this as a fierce man who beat the surrounding countries one by one to paralysis.
"A Luotai is a bookworm. After reading too much about the art of war, he hesitates. If he had marched directly into Liangzhou from the beginning, your strategy of 'inviting the king into the urn' would have become a big joke. If it were me, how could my loss be in vain? Five thousand elites?”
"Let's talk about how you asked Jia Shiyi to bring two thousand cavalry to attack the Wala camp. As long as Jia Shiyi fails once, Liangzhou will become a truly isolated city. Not to mention sending news, you even mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Wala camp outside the city. It will all be a black eye."
"As for the plan of a lone army heading north to attack the Wala Khan Court, it means that Aluotai himself is stupid. Anyway, Yilan was kidnapped by you, and the Borjijin family is not depleted. What will happen if there is another khan?"
"Re-establish a new king, call on all the tribes in Oara to unite, and send the army south to rescue the old Khan. What a great opportunity! Maybe we can also use this to integrate the people from all the tribes in Oara and strengthen the Choros family..."
"From the beginning of your plan for Liangzhou to the final dangerous move to force Aluotai to sign a contract, for several months, every action was a risk. As long as there is a flaw in any of them, Liangzhou City will be destroyed. This is your burial place!”
"Tell me, should you hit me?"
Snapped!
The palm of his hand received another heavy blow, but this time Jia Cong accepted it willingly.
I didn't complain, but I was scared for a while.
If the soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou died because of him, if the war in Hexi changed due to him, it would be impossible to atone for his sins even if he died.
"What the saint teaches is that I should fight!"
Snap, snap, snap...
After ten lashes in a row, the Supreme Emperor handed the ruler to Jia Cong and let him hold it.
"This ruler was used by my grand master when he taught me and your grandfather. I will give it to you today. You must always remember that confidence is a good thing, but you can't let your confidence deceive you!"
…
The great victory in Hexi is indeed good news, but in the hearts of the people in the capital, this incident cannot be compared with the capture of Wala Khan Yilan.
The people of the Celestial Kingdom have been holding their breath for the past few years. From the 49th year of Zhaowu to the present, many Tatars on the grasslands have gone south to knock the pass. How can the people of the great Celestial Kingdom endure this?
Now there was a champion-like figure in the imperial court. He raided Fenglang Juxu from thousands of miles away and captured the Tatar Khan.
Hey, why don't we hang up big red firecrackers to welcome Wala Khan to the capital as a "guest"?
Jia Cong stayed in the palace for more than two hours, told stories, was scolded, gave palace banquets and received rewards, and then returned home with several carts of rewards and a ruler given by the emperor.
The old man acted as a strict father, and the emperor became a loving mother.
It was difficult to get promoted, so the emperor directly pointed out the powerful relationship to Jia Cong and told him clearly that during his term as emperor, Yongfeng Count would reach the top.
If you want to be granted the title of Marquis or Prime Minister, go to Xiao Si.
However, for such a great achievement, there must still be a reward. Yongfeng's Earl's Mansion was directly doubled in size. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Industry to follow the regulations of the Duke's Mansion and bought all the land around the completed Yongfeng's Mansion and gave it to Jia Cong.
He was also rewarded with a large number of gold, jade and precious stones, the value of which at a rough calculation exceeded hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
For the emperor, who has always been frugal and frugal, this can be said to be a rare act of generosity.
Jia Cong leisurely returned to Rongguo Mansion amidst the sound of firecrackers all over the capital. Baoyu placed a brazier in the center of the open door of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Cong stepped over to dispel the plague of the God of Plague and drive away the evil spirit brought back from the battlefield.
Entering the mansion and walking around the screen wall, in front of the main hall are the old lady and the eldest daughter of the mansion.
Jia Cong walked over in three steps and knelt down and kowtowed: "My unfilial grandson is here to greet my grandma. He has not been filial in front of her for several months. I still ask my grandma to punish me!"
"What shall I punish you for? The general's descendants are sent to war under the emperor's order. This is the honor of my Jia family."
The old lady asked loudly: "How many enemies will be beheaded in this battle? Can we win?"
Jia Cong slapped his chest and replied loudly: "Sun is here to seize the fortified city, fight the powerful enemy, guard the border fortress without losing it, protect the country and the people, capture the chieftain, but the enemy is hundreds of thousands, and return with a great victory!"
"Good! Good! Good! As expected of the descendants of my Jia family..."
The old lady helped Jia Cong stand up and took off his armor.
"Brother Cong must be tired. Let's go wash up and change clothes and rest for a while. Girl Feng, we will serve dinner in Rongxi Hall tonight. Baoyu will go to Dongfu to ask you to respect uncle and them, and our family will have a good gathering."
…
After a simple wash, Jia Cong put on his home clothes and sat in front of the window. Daiyu carefully applied medicine and bandaged his palms.
The Emperor's Ten Commandments Ruler was really exerting force. Even Jia Cong, a martial arts practitioner who danced with spears and sticks every day, had his hands red and swollen.
"I didn't expect that the saint would really fight. It seems that you really made him angry. Of course, you also scared me..."
Daiyu carefully wrapped Jia Cong's hands with white gauze, pouting angrily.
"Do you still remember what you told me before leaving the capital? You told me that you are the military supervisor and you only need to stay in the Chinese army's tent. But it didn't take long for news to come that Uncle Yongfeng is so powerful. Ah, you dare to sneak into the rebel den with ten thousand people."
Snapped!
"Ouch, ouch..."
Jia Cong's newly wrapped palm was suddenly hit, but Daiyu didn't exert any force, so Jia Cong's screams were obviously fake.
It's a miserable sale, Jia Cong is very familiar with it.
Daiyu rolled her eyes at him and continued to scold him through gritted teeth: "Why did the saint only hit you ten times? If you ask me, it's best to break your legs so that you can obey me and not run around, okay. Give us peace of mind.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Cong came over and gently rubbed Daiyu's shoulder with his head.
"Sister Lin is still angry. I have no choice. The situation was urgent. If Liangzhou fails, the entire Hexi will be exposed to the front of Xining rebels and Tatars. That will require someone who can control it. The person who lives there is either me or His Royal Highness. You see, this is a matter of no choice, I have to go even if I don’t go."
Daiyu turned her head and gave Jia Cong a slap on the back of his head.
She understood the logic, but she was still angry.
You must know that when the news that Jia Cong was besieged by 100,000 Tatar troops in Liangzhou reached the capital, only a handful of people in the entire capital still had hope.
Daiyu would go to the palace almost every day to inquire about news about Hexi, and many people were gloating about her misfortune behind her back.
She didn't care about the princess or the county lord's edict, she just wanted Jia Cong to come back safely.
This poem about regretting teaching a husband and his son-in-law to seek the title of marquis really describes the suffering of the general's daughter's family.
Of course, these are just complaints that Daiyu occasionally made when she was worried about Jia Cong.
Brother Cong was born in a martial arts family and was determined to civilize and stabilize the country. As Brother Cong's fiancée, she would naturally not hold him back.
Thinking of the comments she heard from the Supreme Emperor on the Hexi War and Jia Cong's actions when she was in Longshou Palace, Daiyu grabbed Jia Cong's ears and started talking.
"Starting from tomorrow, I will add half an hour to my daily homework and study history with me!"
"There are also summary of the art of war by our ancestors and grandfather in the library. Only when you have finished reading and learned it can you go out!"
"The letter you sent back to the capital before was not as good as before. It is obviously a step back. From tomorrow onwards, I will write ten large letters every day, and I won't be allowed to eat until I finish writing!"
…
Throughout the dinner, Jia Cong was in a daze. The girls gathered together and muttered, and Xichun made faces with Jia Cong from time to time.
Daiyu's "teaching" Jia Cong was not hidden from everyone at all. The old lady, Jia Jing, and Lin Ruhai were happy to see it happen, and even Yingchun, who had always loved Jia Cong the most, did not say anything to stop it.
They were really frightened by what happened in Liangzhou this time. Jia Cong was distracted and someone should take good care of him.
Boom, boom, boom...
The Jingyang bell rang, and after the palace door opened, all the civil and military personnel lined up to enter the palace in the morning light.
Today, the imperial court will discuss the victory over Hexi and the rewards for meritorious soldiers. The Ministry of War has already set the rewards according to the meritorious service reported by the Pingxi Governor's Office.
After reading it, the emperor listed Jia Cong's achievements individually and suppressed them for the time being. On the contrary, the rewards of Jia Shiyi and Xue Pan were increased by one level, ranking second in terms of great merit.
Of course, the first place to take credit this time is the head coach Wang Ziteng who presided over the battle, and Jia Cong who presided over the Liangzhou war.
The second rank is Zhang Daiyan, Jia Cong's deputy general in Liangzhou, Jia Shiyi who raided the court of Wala Khan, Xue Pan who captured Wala Khan Yilan, etc.
Although Xue Pan's credit was too easy, it was the same as the credit he picked for nothing, but in the final analysis, it was God who forced him to eat, and he couldn't accept it even if he didn't want to.
"The imperial edict says that since ancient times, emperors have relied on the strength of their teachers and military officials to pacify the world; the tranquility of the sea and sky has inspired the troops to travel, rested the soldiers, and allowed the important ministers in the frontiers to travel and take care of themselves, reward and prolong the world, and favor and consolidate the rivers and mountains. This is a very grand ceremony! Du Tai Prince Teng, the uncle of Weitong County, was loyal to the country, restrained You's strategy, worked hard, guarded Yanjiang, relieved me of the worries of looking west, and made great achievements. He was named the Marquis of Ningyuan County, Fengtian Yiyun Pushing Sincerity and Propagating Forces Military Minister …”
boom!
There was an uproar in the Fengtian Palace, and people in the Ministry of War were also confused. Didn't they say that they could just add casual ranks?
As for others, they were all discussing the meaning of the emperor's move. Was Prince Teng loyal to the country? The world’s joke.
Everyone in the capital didn't know that Wang Ziteng had been holding the emperor back a lot in recent years.
Even Jia Cong felt his head buzzing: Am I going to grow a brain? Why can't you figure out why the emperor would do this?
"quiet!"
Xia Shouzhong shook the dust and shouted loudly, and the imperial censor hurriedly came out to put order in order.
The emperor raised his hand and pressed down, and said loudly: "I will reward you for my merits. In this battle, Prince Teng made great contributions to the country, and I promoted him to the nobility. This is also a reassurance for the army in Pingxi. Although Hexi is peaceful, the chaos in the Western Region has not been resolved yet. I The decree has been sent to Prince Teng, and the Pingxi Governor's Mansion will continue the Western Expedition to completely pacify the Western Frontier for me and Daxia!"
"Xia Shouzhong, keep reading!"
"The edict says: I have heard praises for the virtues and rewarded the best talents. General Wude, Prince Zuowei and Zuofu led Xue Pan to be brave, loyal and upright, to proclaim virtue and kindness, to observe integrity and enjoy friendship, so as to stabilize the country. I highly commend him. Jin Qingche Captain, awarded to General Huaiyuan..."
…
A series of awards soon made Fengtian Palace lively. Even the censor of the palace could not suppress the noise in the palace even if he took out a small notebook.
The emperor didn't bother to care, so Xia Shouzhong ended today's morning court with the words that he had nothing to do and retired.
After all the emperor and the emperor left, everyone in the palace realized a problem: Where is Jia Cong? His achievements are on par with Wang Ziteng's.
Prince Teng, who had never been very popular with the emperor, was granted the title of marquis. It makes no sense that Jia Cong, the emperor's "own son", did not receive any reward at all.
Before noon, news came out from the palace.
Yesterday, the saint immediately ordered Jia Cong, who returned to Beijing, to be sent to Longshou Palace, where he was beaten severely with a ruler just like his descendants. It is said that the sage hates the failure of iron to become steel and is dissatisfied with Jia Cong's performance in battle...
At the same time, another news came out. The emperor directly made it clear to Jia Cong that Jia Cong would not be promoted to the title during his reign, saying that he wanted the prince to reward his "own son" in the future.
hiss!
Who said that Jia Xiaosan is not the biological grandson of the Second Saint? His biological children and grandchildren are not so favored, right?
General Ning Yuanhou, we also want the saint to hit the palms of his hands with a ruler, and we also want the emperor to leave it to the future emperor for great use.

Sorry for the late update tonight, I will continue tomorrow. Good night!
