Chapter 1791: The Battle between Qin and Tang Dynasties at Hangu Pass (Part 1)
The amount of information Jia Xu said was so overwhelming that most of the generals present did not respond.
After the reaction came to something, the whole room was filled with confusion and exclamations.
"well?"
Most of the generals present, including Qin Jian, did not think that Hangu Pass was in danger. After all, the defensive power of Hangu Pass was recognized as strong, and with Li Cunxiao and 20,000 elites there, it was impossible to react in Luoyang. If you don't come, you will be breached.
But now Jia Xu suddenly said that Hangu Pass was in danger, and he immediately sent troops to rescue. Naturally, all the generals present were surprised and puzzled.
"Military advisor, Hangu Pass did not ask for help from Luoyang, but we sent troops rashly. Isn't it a trivial matter?" Qin Jian said in confusion.
"Yes, yes, there is no need at all. How could Hangu Pass fall? It's just a precaution to go to war like this. It's too childish for you, military advisor."
Qin Haohai shouted in agreement, but when he saw Jia Xu's cold eyes, he immediately shrank his head in fear and hid behind Qin Jian with a smile.
The nine sons of the dragon are all different.
Qin Hai is Hu Hai. Although he is also a disciple of the Qin family, he has a dandy attitude.
Hu Hai had previously been riding a horse in the market, and after being hit by Jia Xu, he was slapped twenty times for endangering public order.
Because of this, Hu Hai secretly hated Jia Xu. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would speak ill of Jia Xu in front of the Qin family disciples, trying to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Qin family disciples against Jia Xu, but it never had any effect.
Naturally, Jia Xu would not care about a playboy like Hu Hai, but he did not expect that his disregard would only encourage Hu Hai's arrogance. After becoming an official, he even dared to demolish Jia Xu in public.
Seeing that Hu Hai, a small official, dared to contradict him in public because of his status as a descendant of the Qin family, a cold flash flashed in Jia Xu's eyes.
Qin Jian's objection was out of public interest. Naturally, Jia Xu would not have any objections. What about Hu Hai? He just came to disgust Jia Xu.
At this thought, the coldness in Jia Xu's eyes gradually turned into murderous intent. The murderous intent was not strong, but it was enough to scare Hu Hai out of his wits.
"Uncle, help me."
Hu Hai was heartbroken and hid behind Qin Jian, trembling with fear. Such a timid and cowardly performance made Qin Jian shake his head secretly.
"Military advisor, Hai'er is still young and ignorant, so don't get along with him."
As he said that, Qin Jian kicked Hu Hai angrily and shouted: "How can you interrupt in military and national affairs? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Wen He quickly?"
"Yes, yes, military advisor, forgive me. Qin Hai knows that he was wrong. Please be magnanimous, military advisor."
"snort."
Jia Xu snorted in displeasure and turned his head away, ignoring Hu Hai. This was regarded as forgiving Hu Hai.
A Hu Hai is indeed nothing, but Jia Xu has to give Qin Jian face.
As the younger brother of Qin Wen and the father of Qin Wu, Qin Jian is still very selfish and extremely protective and partial to the Qin family, so he has a very high prestige among the young children of the Qin family.
It is understandable that the elders care about the younger ones, but Qin Jian's care for the Qin family's children went too far.
Even if Hu Hai is a black sheep, even if Qin Jian doesn't like him, because he is a descendant of the Qin family, he will still stand up and take care of him, making Hu Hai think that he has a backer, so he dares to tease Jia Xu of tiger whiskers.
With Jia Xu's status and power, he could naturally go beyond the Qin family to punish Hu Hai without giving Qin Jian face, but Qin Jian was the one who wanted face, so doing so would undoubtedly directly offend Qin Jian.
Jia Xu is Qin Hao's uncle, and Qin Jian is Qin Hao's uncle. If there is a conflict between the two of them, Qin Hao will be the one caught in the middle. Jia Xu does not want these trivial matters to affect Qin Hao's energy.
"You haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet!"
After that, Jia Xu directly told what happened in Nanxiang and the deep meaning behind Li Tang's various unreasonable arrangements, which made everyone present frown and tremble in fear.
"Although I don't know what Li Tang's specific conspiracy is, since it has been arranged in this way, it proves that there is at least a possibility of success."
Jia Xu's face was full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "Hangu Pass is very important, I will never allow any threat, even a slight possibility.
If Hangu Pass does not encounter a crisis, it would be best to treat it as a military march.
If we really encounter a crisis, then dispatching reinforcements in advance can make timely remedies and save the day.
Therefore, whether you agree or disagree, I have decided to send reinforcements. "
Jia Xu made the decision directly, and he said it all. If there are still people here who object, it means they really don't understand the importance of praise and importance.
"We will obey the military advisor's order." All the generals, including Qin Jian, shouted in unison.
Seeing this, Jia Xu nodded, and just as he was about to order his generals, Qin Jian came out to fight, clasping his fists and saying, "Commander, the last general, Qin Jian, is willing to lead the army to support Hangu Pass."
Qin Jian, like Qin Zheng, has not personally led an army in a battle for a long time. It is difficult for him to lead an army in the position he has been removed from, so he naturally does not want to miss this opportunity to lead an army.
Jia Xu thought for a while and then shook his head and refused: "No, anyone can leave Luoyang, but you, Qin Jiangong, can't."
"Why is this?" Qin Jian asked puzzled.
"Now the situation in Sizhou is treacherous. Li and Tang's army is outside openly, but secretly the court officials are fishing in troubled waters. Qin Jian must stay in Luoyang to scare Xiaoxiao."
"That's...ok."
Qin Jian had no choice but to retreat. Jia Xu's reasons made him unable to refute.
In addition to Qin Jian, there are still many generals in Luoyang, such as Sima Cuo, Di Qing, Qin Xi, Qin Liang, etc. However, they are basically juniors and their prestige and qualifications are not enough to hold this task.
Qin Xi and Qin Liang were actually Qin Xiangong Ying Shixi, and Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang. After being implanted into the Qin family, their identities and surnames changed, so naturally their names also changed.
Jia Xu's eyes finally fell on Tan Daoji. Apart from Qin Jian, who had the best qualifications and the most prestige, only Tan Daoji could convince everyone with his military exploits.
"Tan Daoji, I ordered you to lead the general, Qin Xi as the deputy general, and lead the main force of 10,000 troops to support Hangu Pass overnight. There must be no mistake." Jia Xu ordered the capital in a deep voice.
Tan Daoji and Qin Xi looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "No."
Luoyang has a total of 15,000 main troops and 30,000 recruits. Now that Tan Daoji has taken away the 10,000 main troops, there are only 5,000 elites and 30,000 recruits left. Luoyang's defense power has naturally dropped greatly.
With Jia Xu's caution and precautions, he naturally would not wait for dangerous generals, so he secretly ordered the transfer of five thousand defenders directly from Guangcheng Pass and Yique Pass.
