Soon, the news spread throughout the capital that the number one scholar, Kong Ming Lantern, was burning gold and national food, and that the East Palace Guards parachuted into Yanshan Cliff.
At this time, the people in the capital learned that Jia Huan and Jia Sanye had only brought a mere three to four hundred people with them to set fire to the Jin Kingdom's granary.
And he also used such weird and unpredictable methods.
Some people have questioned this, saying that food is not easy to burn, and the flames of a few hundred sky lanterns alone are not enough to ignite the granary.
Then this kind of questioning was decisively refuted and scorned by the masses. Who is Master Jia San? That's because Wenquxing from the sky came down to earth, and there were gods secretly helping him. How could it not be possible?
In fact, it was Jia Huan who added ingredients to the Kongming Lantern.
This point was also mentioned in the previous chapters. Jia Huan had already considered the situation in case the Jinguo granary could not be burned.
Therefore, phosphorus powder is actually added to the Kongming Lantern.
Therefore, as long as it is stained with grain, it can be burned.
So, if you don’t add any ingredients, I’m afraid it really won’t burn.
Some people also questioned that a raging fire broke out in the Jinguo granary. Although the water source was far away, the fire could be extinguished with earth! Earth can be obtained locally and is easier to obtain than water. The Jin Kingdom should be able to put out the fire easily.
As soon as this question was raised, it was sprayed with blood.
Before the fire breaks out, you can indeed use soil to extinguish the fire.
But once the fire is raging and no one can even get close, what do you do to put out the fire?
Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, if a fire breaks out in some chemical plants, many times you can only wait for it to burn out and be extinguished without being able to extinguish the fire.
(This paragraph can also be regarded as an answer to the questions of book friends in the comment area. In fact, the dog author also knew that he could escape from death by setting fire with Kongming lanterns. It seems extremely ridiculous. However, if you read more history books, you will find that historical facts are sometimes more YY, do you believe that Mr. Xin Qiji and fifty men dared to break into the Yuan Dynasty’s 30,000-man military camp at night to arrest people, and still escaped alive? If a dog author dares to write like this, he will definitely be scolded by you. )
For the people in the entire capital, Master Jia Huan and Jia San are now gods in their hearts.
When the Jin army pressed on the border and surrounded the people of the capital, the Daxia soldiers and the Jin soldiers were vulnerable to a head-on battle. Moreover, there were people in Daxia who had access to foreign countries and secretly opened the city gates to let the Jin army enter the city. In such a precarious situation, when.
It was Jia Sanye who personally led hundreds of people out to burn the food and grass of the Jin Kingdom. He also led three thousand gold soldiers to Yanshan and burned them all to death.
What's even more commendable is that Jia Sanye took out 360 people, but nearly 200 people came back alive!
Although all of the two hundred people who came back were seriously injured, the battle loss ratio was already terrifying.
Jia Sanye's achievements, even if placed in thousands of years of history - well, they are still somewhat unranked. There are still many fierce and exaggerated fierce people in history than Jia Sanye.
But in the eyes of many people, it is already awesome enough.
At this time, praising Mr. Jia is politically correct. Anyone who questions him is going against the people and will not end well.
At this moment, a piece of news has been confirmed.
That was Yeluqi, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom who was really burned to death on Yanshan Mountain.
This news was first heard by the surviving East Palace Guards, but they did not really hear it.
After that, during the retreat of the Jin army, it was also confirmed that Yeluqi was indeed dead.
This news could not help but elevate Jia Huan's godhood once again.
…
In the imperial palace, in the Jinluan Hall, another court meeting was held.
There are two issues at this court meeting. The first issue is how to deploy troops and generals and how to contain the 200,000 Jin army.
Not to mention completely wiping them out in Daxia, at least don't let them wreak havoc in Daxia, and eliminate as many golden soldiers as possible.
The second topic is the reward for Jia Huan.
Jia Huan's contribution this time is not insignificant.
Although there is no border opening, it still belongs to the protection of the country.
And there is another more important reason: Daxia currently needs a hero.
It has to be said that the previous performance of the Daxia Army was extremely ugly.
Fifty thousand people faced the Jin army and were able to collapse without a fight.
During the full-scale defense, there were actually people who had access to foreign countries and secretly opened the city gate.
At this time, Daxia just needed a hero to boost morale and form national cohesion.
And Jia Huan fits this role perfectly.
And most importantly, others are dead.
Therefore, even if the reward for him is heavier, it is irrelevant.
What does it matter if you give a dead man a higher reward? It's nothing more than the predecessors spreading dirt to confuse the eyes of future generations.
In the Jinluan Hall, the first topic took up a whole morning.
Encircling and retreating the Jin army required close coordination between the court and various localities, and a large amount of news as support.
There are too many things that need to be coordinated, and the emperor and his ministers have to act cautiously.
After discussing the first issue, the second issue came next, which was the issue of rewarding Jia Huan.
The general process for this kind of issue is for the ministers to propose their own reward suggestions, and after some debate, the emperor finally makes the final decision.
But this time, Emperor Chongkang did not play his cards according to common sense.
Instead, he directly named Jia Huan the champion!
After the ministers heard about the reward from the Champion, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
It’s really because this reward is too much!
Although Jia Huan's contribution was great, the actual military achievements that he could show were barely enough to support his title of earl, let alone the title of marquis.
Especially the champion.
Is the title of champion randomly sealed?
One must have superb martial arts skills and great military exploits to be awarded the title.
Throughout history, only five generals have been awarded the title of Champion.
Moreover, none of these five champions ended up well, and none of them had longevity.
Well, Jia Huan is dead, okay, then it's okay.
Emperor Chongkang thought that if he offered this reward, he would definitely attract civil and military opposition from the entire dynasty.
In fact, Emperor Chongkang was not really prepared to make Jia Huan the champion.
Even if Jia Huan has the aura of blessing from the dead, he still has to do a lot to be crowned the champion.
Emperor Chongkang's original intention was to pursue Jia Huan as an earl, so he first offered the impossible reward of Champion Marquis to give him room for bargaining.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: Chinese people always like to reconcile and compromise. If you say that this room is too dark and you need to open a window here, no one will allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and be willing to open the windows.
As a result, what Emperor Chongkang didn't expect was that the first one to stand up was Jia Huan's master Zhao Heng.
Of course, he didn't come forward to object, he just asked a small question.
The main question is whether the champion can be hereditary. (End of chapter)
