Jia Cong received news from Amin that Hong Tai led 20,000 cavalry to deal with him.
After discussing with a few people, we decided to pack up the loot and go home directly.
Seeing the large group of people returning, Jia Cong thought about it and decided to give Hong Tai a big gift.
He asked everyone to leave first, leaving only Tiezhu, Qingwen and the others to accompany him.
I found a wooden board and wrote a few big characters on it in blood, 'Hong Tai will die here. '
The planks were packed with stones and erected on the roadside.
He took out two grenades, pulled out the safety, pressed them with rocks, and leaned the impact area against the wooden board.
As long as someone kicks the board with their feet or cuts the board with a knife, it will trigger and cause an explosion.
If Hong Tai saw this, he would be very angry and probably furious. If he dared to use the wooden board to vent his anger, his plan would be successful.
As for the result? Then it will be up to God whether he will accept him or not.
As the saying goes: people plan things, and God makes things happen. Everything still depends on God's will.
After handling all this, he took a few people and left quickly.
However, they did not go far, but hid behind a hill and looked here with a telescope, trying to see their results.
Qingwen said: "Master Hou, can this thing you made work? What if someone else comes forward?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I don't know if it's possible or not. It depends on God's will. If God doesn't let him die, even if you throw it on him, he won't die. We'll find out later."
Tie Zhu said: "The grenade is pressed by a stone. Unless the stone is blown up, it can hurt people. Otherwise, if it is blocked by the stone, it probably won't hurt people, but it will definitely scare people."
Jia Cong said: "There are two grenades. Even if they can't break the rocks, they can still blow up. It depends on who is unlucky."
After waiting for two hours, they saw the dust flying in the distance, covering the sky and the sun, like a winding yellow dragon, approaching quickly.
After a while, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, and a large group of cavalry galloped over.
Although the front is close, the end can't be seen behind.
It is said that if there are ten thousand people, there will be no boundaries, and it certainly lives up to its reputation.
Soon the people in front discovered the wooden board and were shocked when they saw the writing on it, but they did not dare to move and reported it to Hong Tai who was behind.
After a while, Hong Tai rode up to the scene and saw a line of big characters written on the wooden board, "Hong Tai will die here." '
Hong Tai was so angry that he yelled, "Jia Cong, you've bullied me too much. I'm going to cut off your head."
Qingwen chuckled and said, "Master Hou, he said he wanted to chop off your dog's head."
Jia Cong said angrily: "I'm not deaf, I can hear. If you want to deal with me, you have to pass this hurdle first. It depends on whether he has this fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Tai suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at the wooden board.
Seeing the board being cut in half with a knife, Hong Tai roared angrily: "Huh, you know how to play tricks on me, don't fall into my hands..."
Before Hong Tai finished speaking, he heard two explosions "bang" and "bang" coming from below.
The pile of rocks below was directly blown away, and debris flew everywhere. Many of them flew into the crowd, and several screams were heard.
Hong Tai stood closest, and the powerful shock wave and flying debris knocked the war horse and Hong Tai away. Hong Tai yelled and fell off the horse.
The sudden change shocked everyone.
Seeing Hong Tai fall off his horse, the people around him were frightened and rushed to rescue him.
"Great Khan, protect the Great Khan quickly."
The guards behind him ran up instantly and protected Hong Tai.
Although Jia Cong's eyes widened, he still couldn't see clearly. After all, the distance was a bit far.
"Did you see clearly? Was Hong Tai blown off his horse, or was the horse frightened and thrown off?"
Qingwen said: "It seems that he fell off the horse. I saw several pieces of debris were blocked by the horse, otherwise it would definitely be hit."
Tie Zhu said: "It's too far away to see clearly, but when I saw Hong Tai's body paused, he must have been hit. We'll know if Hong Tai can stand up."
Qiu Ju said: "Master Hou, I saw it. He was hit, probably in the chest area."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "No matter how Hong Tai is doing now, whether he is injured or not, whether the injury is serious or not, it doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that we have achieved our goal. When we leave, someone will tell us the result."
Seeing that the crowd below was still gathered around and did not disperse, Jia Cong decisively stood up and left.
Hong Tai was very lucky. He was riding on a horse and had his horse block most of the debris attacks for him. Even if he was hit once or twice, it would not be fatal.
Unless it hits the head, the chance is very small. The highest probability is to hit the leg or one side of the body.
Several people came down the hill, mounted their horses, and left quickly.
It wasn't until dark that we arrived at the temporary campsite and caught up with the large army.
He Shiyuan and several generals came up to him and said with a worried look on his face: "You just don't make people worry. You just leave together and it's over. You have to stay there and make people worry about you. Nothing happened, right?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "What's the matter? Don't we come back safely? We just gave Hong Tai a big gift. If he accepts the gift, we will come back."
He Shiyuan said doubtfully: "What kind of gift did you give Hong Tai? Tell us quickly, don't make people excited."
Jia Cong had no choice but to briefly tell them how he set up the trap and how Hong Tai fell into the trap.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Jia Cong could actually achieve this step. His thoughts and calculations were really amazing.
In addition to admiration for Jia Cong, I also have a little fear.
Fortunately, he was one of his own. If he had been an enemy, he would have died without even knowing it.
With a large amount of loot, Jia Cong and others successfully returned to Guangning on the third day.
Seeing the people returning home with their loads, those generals who stayed behind and those who refused the invitation for fear of danger once again regretted it.
Really envious, jealous, and hateful!
I envy Jia Cong and the generals who participated. This time they have gained a lot. Not only did they gain military exploits, but they also received a large amount of property.
Jealous of their good luck time and time again, gaining both fame and fortune, while I and others have gained nothing.
I hate that I made a mistake in judgment, missed a good opportunity, and refused such a great benefit, which makes me regret it endlessly.
I also hate Jia Cong, why didn't he force them to go?
In that case, wouldn’t he have made a meritorious deed? Wouldn’t it be possible to gain a lot of wealth?
These people completely forgot that they themselves were afraid of danger and refused this action.
I also forgot what Jia Cong once said, risks and opportunities coexist.
After a day's rest, all the generals gathered in the General Military Mansion.
Jia Cong came to the big tent and took a look, oh, all the people who could and could not come were here. It seemed that this huge property made people jealous.
Seeing Jia Cong come in, all the generals immediately surrounded him, making Jia Cong the most popular person in the field.
"General Jia, you must bring me with you this time. My soldiers are very elite."
"General Jia, brothers are almost out of food. You have to take us with you no matter what this time. Don't worry, we will definitely obey your arrangements and won't cause any trouble for you."
"Yes, we are completely convinced by General Jia's ability. If he takes action in the future, he must take us with him."
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Jia Cong smiled helplessly and said: "Thank you generals for your trust, and thank you generals for looking up to me. You are willing to act with me, and I naturally appreciate it.
However, this operation is all due to the command and dispatch of the Commander-in-Chief, and I also followed orders, so if you ask me, you might as well ask the Commander-in-Chief, who is the master of an army. "
When everyone heard this, they suddenly remembered that they had forgotten that the Commander-in-Chief was still watching from above, and they must have felt uncomfortable.
He Shiyuan didn't care when he saw this. The relationship between Jia Cong and himself was there. It would definitely not work if it were anyone else.
"Okay, don't make any noise. This time we entered the enemy's rear, which can be said to disturb the enemy's peace. The five thousand troops sent back from the battlefield were also wiped out by us.
In the end, Hong Tai personally led an army of 20,000 people and returned to the rear to destroy us. This harassment mission can be said to have been completed perfectly, effectively easing the war in Shenyang and achieving the expected goal. "
When some generals heard this, they lost their composure and asked, "General, when will we go for the next operation?"
He Shiyuan said: "There are 20,000 cavalrymen searching for us behind the enemy's rear. How dare you go now? If you go now, you will die. We can't go for the time being."
"General, when will the next action take place? How long will it take?"
In other words, these people are He Shiyuan's old subordinates, so they don't pay much attention to rules. If it were anyone else, they would have left them long ago.
He Shiyuan said: "Jia Cong, tell them about it and analyze the situation between us and the enemy so that they can understand it."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Yes, general."
"My generals, this harassment operation has ended, and we have achieved our expected goal. We have successfully contained 25,000 enemy troops, which has eased the war in Shenyang.
As the saying goes, one more time, two more times, no more three times, after the last action, the barbarian rear will no longer be as defenseless as before, allowing us to plunder. If we go again, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
In addition, the barbarian Khan Hongtai fell into our trap and his life and death are unknown now. Our strategic goal of harassing the enemy's rear has been successfully completed. "
The generals were a little dumbfounded. They wanted to go with them to make some money, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't go, so this happened.
"General Jia, you also said it, once again, twice, and not three times. Didn't you just go there once? Shouldn't it be okay if you go again?"
Some people still refused to give up and couldn't help but ask.
It seems that the charm of money is really great, so great that it makes them forget the danger.
Jia Cong said: "Generals, you need to understand one thing. We are going to perform a mission, not to die. If we go again when the enemy is on guard, we will probably capsize in the ditch and never come back. not coming.
Moreover, this is already the second time. During the war between the barbarians and the Mongols, when I saw that the Mongols were retreating steadily, I took people to the rear of the barbarians and raided them once. I could not go there again for the time being.
But don't be disappointed, the war is not over yet, and other fighters may appear in the future, but again, risks and opportunities coexist.
It’s really difficult to just want the benefits if you don’t want to take risks. Just like this time, if you go again after seeing the benefits, it’s already too late. The opportunity no longer exists. If you go again, you might end up dying. "
Seeing that there was no benefit to be gained, all the generals left with disappointed expressions.
He Shiyuan wrote two copies of the battle report, one was sent to Shenyang at high speed and handed over to Wang Ziteng, and the other was sent to the capital at a 600-mile speed.
After arranging all the necessary matters, He Shiyuan chuckled and said: "I have been living in fear behind the enemy's rear during this period. Now that I am back, I can rest comfortably for a while.
Don't leave at noon today. Let's all get together and relax. "
"Everything is at the discretion of the general."
······
Wang Ziteng, who was supervising the battle in Shenyang, finally breathed a sigh of relief during this period.
The enemy's offensive has slowed down a lot compared to before, and it has recently stopped attacking.
"Commander, there has been no movement from the enemy on the opposite side in recent days. Is there some conspiracy? What should we do?"
Wang Ziteng has been paying attention to the movements of the barbarians.
Regarding the recent situation, I have some guesses in my mind, but I am not sure.
Judging by the time, Jia Cong has already been behind the enemy's rear. In the current situation, it is possible that Jia Cong has attracted the enemy's attention. It was attracted to the rear, and the fighting in the front was suspended.
It seems that this kid Jia Cong has been struggling hard in the rear, otherwise there would be no truce at the front.
"Let's wait and see what happens. Maybe our harassment plan has been successful."
"Commander, what you mean is that General Jia was too busy behind the enemy's rear and attracted the enemy's attention to the rear?"
Wang Ziteng nodded and said: "It should be, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the other party stopped attacking the city."
"Commander-in-Chief, General Guangning has sent us a battle report."
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier walked in.
Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "This means Cao Cao Cao Cao is here soon, right? You'll know it at a glance. Bring it over quickly."
The messenger hurriedly handed over the battle report. Wang Ziteng took it and looked at the seal carefully before opening it and reading it seriously.
The battle report gave a detailed report of the attack, the elimination of five thousand returning enemy troops, and the use of traps to injure Hong Tai, leaving his life and death unknown.
After seeing this, Wang Ziteng laughed excitedly and said, "Okay, that's great. It turns out that Hong Tai personally led people to the rear, and he fell into the trap. I don't know whether I will live or die. God help me."
After reading the battle report to his subordinates, the generals couldn't help but sigh.
This harassment battle was so well done and beautiful. Jia Cong is really a talent. They all retreated and left a trap that made Hong Tai live or die.
