Chapter 3.15
Since Ren Jia took the left and right leading guards to the battlefield with the Dingyuan army, the eyes of everyone in the border camp began to look at them differently, a commander with superior military strength, even if she is a woman, she deserves everyone's respect.
Yu Guangqi always had to go back and forth by Ren Jia's side every day, persuading her to join the army, Ren Jia had to agree to the previous construction of You'an River under the great distress, and led the left and right leading guards to practice with the Dingyuan army every day, in order to take away Yu Guangqi, who was revolving around her every day. No matter how she said it, Liang Yiyun's identity is also a little girl who has been married for a long time, and she is flattered by a man who is the same age as her father every day, which really makes her unbearable, and she definitely can't stand being surrounded by a verbose old man.
"Recently, those gangs of Zirong Di haven't moved, I plan to take the soldiers to the grassland for a turn, little girl, do you want to go with me?" Yu Guangqi looked at Ren Jia with a smile.
Now that they have been staying at the border for almost a month, Ren Jia is preparing to return to Beijing for the past two days, and when he heard Yu Guangqi say this, he smiled slightly, "How can General Yu refuse his warm invitation, when will we leave?" ”
Yu Guangqi saw Ren Jia's smile even brighter, touched his chin full of stubble and said, "The grassland is rainy in summer, I have asked the old herdsmen, these days have been dry and rainless, just suitable for the army to go out, if you can prepare earlier, we will leave the day after tomorrow." ”
"Then the day after tomorrow, I will order them to prepare well." Ren Jia looked at the increasingly vicious sun outside, and agreed to this coalition operation.
Two days later, Yu Guangqi, the general of Yunlu, led his troops into the grassland with Liang Yiyun, the governor of the guards, and began to pursue Rong Di.
Half a month later, Ren Jia led the left and right leading troops to part ways with the Dingyuan army and embarked on the journey back to Yuanjing.
"Lord Governor, please let your subordinates follow!" Seeing that the commander was going to be separated from them, the overseer couldn't help but plead.
"You keep the letter handed over to Your Majesty carefully, and this seat is separated from you here, and you go all the way back to Beijing to take care." Ren Jia looked at the soldiers who were left behind and said lightly, ignoring the pleading eyes of the prison guards, and embarked on another road with the fifty soldiers he had selected.
"Lord Governor!" Seeing that Ren Jia did not change his mind, the prison army knew that he could not get what he wanted, but he still shouted loudly.
Ren Jia slowly turned the horse's head, looked at the overseers who were exhausted from running around for days, and showed a gentle smile, "This seat will hand over these precious soldiers to you and take care of them for me." After speaking, he led the sergeant behind him to step away.
"My lord......" The overseer's face was slightly bitter, he wanted to say something more, but he didn't know where to start, he was a nail pierced by the emperor on the left and right leading guards, if he was guarded against in every possible way, it was both unfortunate and fortunate to meet a boss who knew his identity but was still willing to give his trust, if the boss could be more selfish...... Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly, if that was the case, he would regret it.
Ren Jia took fifty horsemen and horses around the state, since she picked Qingzhou, Chongzhou provoked the king of Ling, the struggle between the vassal king and Wei Lixin has become increasingly hot, the king of Liao led by a group of vassal kings are naturally full support for the king of Ling, even if there are many discords between each other, but it does not prevent them from dealing with Wei Lixin with the same hatred, Wei Lixin must be the same as before at this time, and fought the idea of uniting the family and the imperial city to destroy the vassal king, but unfortunately after Ren Jia surrendered to Cheng, he was not good to move Liang Yi again, Especially now when Ren Jia has made contributions several times, chilling the hero will only make his foundation unstable.
Ren Jia took people all the way to Yuzhou, which is said to be a place where there is no harvest because of the great drought in Ren Jia's opinion, far richer than the border pass, not to mention whether the drought is true or false, at least the people in the territory of the King of Liao are not bad now. There is a silver mine in Yuzhou that the Liao King is very concerned about, and it is this silver mine that makes him have a superior position among the vassal kings, and Ren Jia came to this silver mine for this time.
Since the last time she led the army to burn the salt and iron mines of King Ling, which caused heavy losses to the vassal king, the rest of the vassal kings began to pay attention to this little-known little girl, and when it was found out that she was Liang Yi's daughter, after being ordered by the emperor to rebuild the left and right leading the army to guard the Beijing to suppress bandits, everyone was shocked in their hearts, and began to pay attention to Liang Yi, who had never participated in court politics before.
Whether it is friend or foe, if you can fight for it, there will be no harm in it, so for a while, except for King Ling, the other vassal kings did not make a move against Liang Yi, and a situation of confrontation and defense against each other was faintly formed.
Find a post station closest to the silver mine and place the people and horses, Ren Jia picked out a few capable soldiers to find fierce fire oil, although she came all the way without fanfare, but also did not carefully hide the tracks, if the king of Liao moved faster, he must be able to find them soon.
"You stay at the post station, if someone comes, just say that this seat is out on business, unless the king of Liao is there in person, otherwise this seat will never see anyone, do you understand?" After Ren Jia announced the soldiers to one place and explained his requirements, he went out directly with the two soldiers with fierce fire oil.
"If the table is good this time, go back to the official and be promoted to the next level, and each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels." Ren Jia said to the two soldiers who were found, she observed the soldiers under her command for a long time, these two people were the most desirable people she selected, they joined the army with art, never complained about training on weekdays, fought bravely on the battlefield, loved money and did not value power, and could be used.
Both of them had some smiles on their faces, and said with firm expressions, "But listen to the governor's dispatch." ”
Ren Jia led people to find a silver mine hidden in the deep mountains, it was raining lightly in the sky of each other, and after leaving the two of them in a safe place in the mountains, Ren Jia directly carried the fierce fire oil into the mountain, and after making sure that the two could not see themselves, she completely let go of her hands and feet and galloped all the way into the silver mine while the night was dark.
Lightly stunned a vote of guards, put away the weapons and threw them into the house where the miners gathered, she took advantage of the noisy surroundings to enter the silver mine, looking at the faintly flickering light on the stone wall, Ren Jia smiled slightly, no wonder the King of Liao sent heavy soldiers to guard to the death, this kind of fine and pure silver mine is afraid that it is one of the best in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
Sprinkled the fire oil wantonly, she directly lit the fire in her arms and threw it out, and in an instant all the fire oil on the ground ignited a fire, bursting out of black smoke and choking smell.
Before the soldiers who heard the movement and came to put out the fire, Ren Jia had long since disappeared.
After finding the two soldiers who were staying in place with her extraordinary eyesight in the dark mountain forest, she said happily, "Find a place to rest for the night, and we will return to the post station tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Lord Governor." The two soldiers and Ren Jia looked for a dry cave to rest, and when the rain in the mountains and forests was getting heavier and heavier, they saw the fire not far away, exchanged glances with each other, and looked at their commander with even more fanatical eyes.
On the second day, Ren Jia and the two went back to the post station, saw the frame belonging to the vassal king at the door of the post station, smiled with satisfaction, and finally waited for the old fox.
The King of Liao is over forty years old, is the uncle of the current young emperor Wei Li Xin, in the early years in the struggle for the throne with Wei Li Xin's father, he lost miserably, and then returned to the fief to begin to recuperate, after years of planning, it can now be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, if it is not for the idea of easy to ascend the throne, I am afraid that the war has already started, but it still does not prevent him from uniting the rest of the vassal kings and the family from time to time to stumble on the emperor.
If he hadn't put a little girl in his eyes before today, and had experienced yesterday's silver mine fire, King Liao was now shocked and angry when he saw Liang Yiyun. Although the other party did not have the ability to completely destroy the silver mine, he didn't mind the incident of Tong Guò, and now his frightened tiger didn't just come out of the lair according to the other party's wishes.
"I didn't expect Commander Liang to raise a good daughter, I haven't seen you for many years, I don't know how your father is now?" The King of Liao sat on the main seat of the post hall and asked the smiling little girl with a calm expression.
"There is nothing wrong with my father living in Yuanjing for a long time to do things for His Majesty, but I heard that Yuzhou, which is subordinate to the prince, is in drought this year, and His Majesty is worried about the people, so he specially ordered me to come and take a look." Ren Jia casually pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner, anyway, the King of Liao and Wei Lixin are not in harmony, and they will never really run to the emperor to ask whether it is true or false, as Wei Lixin's cronies, she naturally has to play the emperor's signboard in everything.
"It's because the rule of this king is not strict, which annoys His Majesty," the King of Liao sighed and said pretendedly, "Since Your Majesty is worried about the drought in Yuzhou, it is better to allocate some silver money and grain as soon as possible, and the people are very poor now." ”
"Your Majesty heard that there is a silver mine here, if the prince is willing to cut his love, I think the people of Yuzhou will be very grateful." Ren Jia's words are as straightforward as ever, dealing with an old fox like King Liao, if you pretend to be stupid, he will have a hundred ways to stun people, it is better to go straight in.
The silver mine is the lifeblood of the King of Liao, and anyone who wants to move his lifeline will die, and he has already saved the idea of "staying" Ren Jia and these people, so he directly slammed the teacup on the table with a gloomy face, "A yellow-mouthed child dares to be so rude to this king, if this silver mine is not willing to be handed over?" ”
"If the prince is unwilling to hand it over, His Majesty will naturally have other plans." Looking at the soldiers and horses of the King of Liao pouring in like a tide inside and outside the post station, Ren Jia calmed down and said calmly, "This seat is here to remind the prince, if you really plan to do it, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise Your Majesty will rain down the wrath of thunder, and the prince will probably regret it at that time." ”
"Liang Yiyun, this is Yuzhou, not Yuanjing! If you think that if you can destroy the bandits in Qingzhou and Chongzhou, you will be able to run rampant in my Yuzhou, you are very wrong! The King of Liao's beard was all open, and he looked at the girl with a calm face with a grim expression, thinking of the soldiers who lost in the battle of Dongmao Mountain, he was even more angry, it seemed that he had been silent for too long, Wei Lixin had no longer put his uncle in his eyes, and actually let a eunuch's daughter step on his face, and he said sharply to the soldiers waiting outside the door, "Do it!" ”
Ren Jia watched the soldiers pouring into the small post station, and there were also extremely suspicious masters around the King of Liao, and several people took weapons and shot at Ren Jia without hesitation, making ruthless moves.
"Yuzhou is the territory of His Majesty, not the forbidden territory of your Liao King!" Ren Jiamian did not change his face and said sharply, "If you make a move to this seat today, you will not blame Your Majesty for being ruthless in the future!" ”
"If this king lets you go today, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty, and the left and right leading the army guards will clash with the local victims through Yuzhou, and slaughter dozens of people for no reason, this king, as a vassal king, can only do it!" King Liao sneered and looked at the girl who was surrounded by everyone, and told all the charges he had already fabricated, Yuzhou was his chassis, and he had the final say, Wei Lixin didn't dare to tear his face with him many years ago, and today he definitely wouldn't do anything to him for the daughter of a eunuch.
"It seems that the prince has made up his mind," Ren Jia sighed with pity, and his expression, which was still a little stern, suddenly softened, and he smiled calmly, "So, please forgive me for offending." Since the double sword in the body, Ren Jia is used to using the long sword most of the time, the short sword has never shot, the soldiers and horses of the King of Liao in the small post hall are dense, her smile has just disappeared from the surrounding people surrounded by several people, only to hear two terrible screams after Ren Jia has a short sword under the neck of the King of Liao, and the sharp sword blade directly cut a bloody hole.
Before everyone could react, they saw blood spurting out of the throats of the two people who were originally surrounding the girl, and the surrounding crowd who had not been able to avoid were all drenched in blood.
"You, you, you-" King Liao's voice was unstable, no matter who was suddenly hijacked, his heart would be shaken, not to mention that the short sword was almost about to cut his throat just now, if it wasn't for the person behind him to stop in time, at this moment he would have already been killed on the spot like two subordinates.
"It's better for the prince to be quieter, if this seat is unstable, you and I will have to say goodbye to heaven and man today." Ren Jia's sword went deeper slightly, and sure enough, the King of Liao was so shocked that he immediately stopped, and he didn't even dare to move his body for half a minute, for fear that he would accidentally give his life.
"The prince is a smart man, what should I do at this time, I don't need to say much." Ren Jia looked at the left and right leading guards who were trapped by the soldiers and horses of the King of Liao, and smiled calmly, and the other party did not dare to act rashly when he saw that the commander was captured.
"All stand back and let the people go!" The King of Liao can't wait to raise his voice louder at this moment, his half-life ambition has not been completed, if he really dies at the hands of Liang Yiyun today, he is afraid that he will not be willing to be a ghost, "This king asked people to escort you out of Yuzhou, once it is safe, you will immediately release me, otherwise we will lose both!" ”
"The prince really knows that the current affairs are Junjie," Ren Jia sneered, originally she thought that the Liao King who made Wei Lixin jealous was so powerful, but now it seems that he is just a man who has been bewitched by the poison of power, although she can't look down on herself, but it is the best use to deal with Wei Lixin, this kind of person is the best, "The left and right leading the guards listen to the order, everyone immediately get on the horse, and be sure to get out of the gate of Yuzhou within an hour!" ”
"Lord Governor!" Seeing that the commander stayed for their independence, some soldiers couldn't help but say in a loud voice, "Please be sure to leave with your subordinates!" ”
Ren Jia is not interested in the drama of living and dying together, she has complete confidence that she can get out, at this time, this style is nothing more than an elite who is reluctant to train hard, and it is just by the way to win people's hearts, so she said coldly, "This seat has already made it clear that the military orders of the left and right leading the army guards are like mountains, do you want to disobey the military orders of this seat?" ”
"Take care, Lord Governor!" There are smart soldiers who have already remembered the superiority of their commander, and hurriedly pulled their companions around them to turn over and get on their horses, they are here to really drag the commander back, but after a while, the left and right leading guards in the post station have all disappeared.
Seeing that the other party was leaving, the surrounding soldiers belonging to the King of Liao looked very ugly, but it was a pity that his commander was in the hands of others, so he must not act rashly.
"Lord Wang, now we finally have time to talk about the silver mine." Ren Jia turned half of his body with a smile, changed the short sword in his hand to a long sword, found a place in the hall, and motioned for King Liao to sit back on the main seat.
The king of Liao was covered in cold sweat but dared not speak angrily, the tip of the sword was not more than half an inch from his throat, if he had any abnormal movements, he would immediately end up with a severed head and die, so he had to negotiate with Ren Jia with full of anger.
