Jia Ke stood by and watched the eunuchs eat and drink incessantly, and these people didn't notice him at all, which made him feel embarrassed.

So Jia Ke coughed beside him, and the eunuchs reacted and looked up. I saw a young general standing there. Looking at the dress, it should be Jia Ke, who is the festival envoy.

The eunuch who was the leader of them immediately went over and grabbed his hand as soon as he saw Jia Ke, and said vaguely: "General, you still know me, I am Gao Quan." ”

Jia Ke looked at this person carefully, he was a little familiar, and then he looked carefully, it was really Gao Quan, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace who gave him the edict last time.

But now he is covered in dust and his face is covered with wind and frost, where can he compare with the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace who is in good spirits and has a red face.

Jia Ke was taken aback this time, and hurriedly asked, "It's only been a few years since Grandpa Gao said goodbye, how did you become like this." ”

"Lord Jia didn't know, this time he was on an errand for the emperor, and he was in a hurry. I set out from the Imperial City until now, and the water and rice have not entered. All the way non-stop, not even the water and rice entered. Gao Quan said with emotion, it was the first time he had worked so hard.

"I don't know what kind of purpose Grandpa Gao came to convey this time, which made Grandpa Gao so anxious." Jia Ke asked knowingly.

Gao Quan heard Jia Ke's question, and suddenly remembered the mission he came this time. Hurriedly said to Jia Ke: "Lord Jia is in a hurry, the Tatars have broken through Gubeikou, and are now besieging Miyun, only a day's journey from the capital, the emperor ordered me to come and give an order, ordering the general to immediately lead the troops to King Qin." ”

After Gao Quan said this, he still grabbed Jia Ke's hand and kept swaying, it seemed that he was really anxious.

Jia Ke was shocked when he heard this, and asked in an incredible tone, "You didn't talk nonsense with me, did you?" I don't know about other places, but Gubeikou and Xifengkou are important places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the pass is located in the middle of two mountains, and there are one or two thousand people defending the organization in such a place, and 100,000 people may not necessarily break through. The Tatars are all cavalry, how can they break through these two passes? ”

Gao Quan couldn't help but sigh when he heard Jia Ke's words, "Alas, who said it wasn't?" No one thought that Gubeikou would be lost, so the court was caught off guard. Now that the news has not come, no one knows how it was lost? ”

"In this case, it is too late to prepare the incense case, so I ask my father-in-law to immediately ask for the holy decree to be read in public. I also have to arrange my troops, otherwise I will cut off my head if I send troops privately. Jia Ke said to Eunuch Gao.

Only then did Eunuch Gao react, and immediately took out the holy decree from behind his back and into the imperial cloth package.

Seeing that Eunuch Gao took out the holy decree, Jia Ke hurriedly took two steps back, and then knelt on the ground, and the others in the hall also knelt down.

The eunuch Gao took the holy edict in front of Jia Ke and read aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Now Tatar is going south, the capital is in danger, and the edict orders Xuanfu Town to make Jia Ke, do his best, go to the king of Jingshi Qin, and within ten days from the date of receiving the decree, he must rush to the city of Beijing, and he is not expected to be decided." Chin this. ”

Jia Ke raised his hands below and said, "Minister, the Marquis of Wuyang and Xuanfu Town have made Jia Ke accept the order." ”

After Eunuch Gao said this, he put the last time in his hand.

Jia Ke received the holy decree and stood up, and Eunuch Gao immediately asked, "I don't know when Lord Jia will start the army?" The emperor and the ministers were all looking forward to the arrival of the general's rescue troops as soon as possible. ”

Jia Ke was really puzzled this time, to say that there were still 150,000 in the capital, the elite of the three battalions, in addition, there were infantry commanders of the yamen and tens of thousands of forbidden troops. No matter how powerful the Tatars are, they will not be able to pose a threat to the hundreds of thousands of people who defend and have high walls and thick walls.

After all, all dynasties have the tightest defense of the capital, and even at the end of the dynasty, it is not so easy to break through the capital. This will take months, even years, to besiege the city, and it will be possible to break the capital only after the food is cut off in the city.

Jia Ke had no choice but to find the eunuch Gao next to him to solve his doubts, "Grandpa Gao, I don't know anything and want to ask Grandpa Gao for advice." ”

"If there is anything, just ask, as long as I can say, we will tell you." Gao Quan now only hopes that Jia Ke will send troops quickly, and as long as other things do not involve secrets, he can say anything.

"Father-in-law, as far as I know, the three major battalions in the capital are the elite of the world, not to mention the thirty or forty thousand infantry commanding the yamen, no matter how powerful the Tatars are, it is impossible to pose a threat to the capital, why is the emperor urging so urgently?" Jia Ke asked the doubts in his heart, although he considered that the three battalions might not be the opponents of the Tatars. But after all, the three battalions are world-famous elite troops, as long as they hold the city, the Tatars really have no way to take them.

Gao Quan listened to Jia Ke's words, and he also felt like laughing, everyone in the world thought that the three major battalions were the elite of the world, but he didn't expect that when it was time to move the real thing, he would pierce this layer of kraft paper at once.

Gao Quan couldn't talk to Jia Keming now, so he replied tactfully: "The three battalions have not been in battle for a long time, and the emperor is not very relieved, so he let Xuanfu Town and the soldiers and horses of other towns enter the king of Jingqin together." ”

Although Jia Ke is not a smart person, he can understand Gao Quan's words a little bit at this time, and it seems that the three major battalions are no longer of great use. Jia Ke had already thought about the front and back of this time, but he didn't expect that the three battalions of Fǔ Bài were so fast that they were no longer able to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Jia Ke knew that he wouldn't ask anything more, after all, such a big scandal, the emperor had to cover it up no matter what, and to put it mildly, the three battalions were a sharp blade for the emperor to shock the world, and now this sharp blade has rusted and can no longer be used, but the appearance is still bright, and the emperor has to hang it out for the world to see.

So he discussed with Eunuch Gao, "Father-in-law, do you think this is okay?" There are a total of 80,000 horses in Xuanfu Town, and there are only 30,000 in Xuanfu Town, including 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers. And 20,000 horses to go to the rescue may not be enough, I will mobilize 30,000 horses from other places, and gather 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers. When the time comes, I will lead the cavalry first, and send 30,000 foot soldiers under my command to support behind. I don't know what the public will do. ”

Gao Tai listened to Jia Ke's words and felt that it made sense, Jia Ke just wanted to rescue the capital, and he couldn't give up Xuanfu Town, and it was already the limit of Xuanfu Town to bring 50,000 horses, so he agreed to Jia Ke's method. just kept urging Jia Ke: "No matter how many people your lord brings, hurry up and set off, the emperor is waiting for the general's rescue." ”

"Father-in-law Gao, don't worry, I'll give orders to transfer troops to various places now, the infantry may be a little slower, I let the general gather the troops, and then go to the Beijing division, I will bring 20,000 cavalry first, and strive to reach the Beijing division within three days, and I will definitely protect my emperor." Jia Ke swore and said.

Gao Quan was relieved at this time, and when he unloaded the responsibilities on his body, he immediately felt weak all over, and he was already a little unable to stand.

As soon as Jia Ke saw this situation, he immediately said to Gao Quan: "My father-in-law is too tired all the way, so let's go down and rest quickly, I will transfer troops and send generals, I am afraid that I will have to hurry again tomorrow, and my father-in-law should take advantage of this time to rest and rest." ”

Gao Quan couldn't hold on anymore, and after thanking Jia Ke for his kindness, he went to the back room to rest with the subordinates of the Jiedu envoy.

After Jia Ke sent Gao Quan away, he immediately sent his own soldiers to various places to send orders, and at the same time transferred Huang Baifeng to Xuanfu Town to temporarily preside over the overall situation, and ordered Feng Mo to temporarily command Kaiping and Xuanhua, which can only leave 8,000 infantry each.

Because of Kaiping, the two towns of Xuanhua are now relatively empty, and Jia Ke ordered his Eight Banners soldiers and horses, once these two places are attacked by the Tatars, and these two places are a little unable to hold on, they must do their best to go to reinforcements with cavalry, and obey Feng Mo's orders when the time comes.

But in the letter, Jia Ke emphasized that if there was no accident in the two towns of Xuanhua and Kaiping, they would not have to obey Feng Mo's orders. If there is any conflict, put it aside for the time being and wait for him to come back to resolve it.

This time, Jia Ke ordered the cavalry of Xuanfu Town to arrive at Xuanfu Town to join him within one day. Jia Ke decided to take the general Zheng Kai and 20,000 cavalry to Beijing first. Fan Kang then went to Jingshi with 30,000 infantry to join him.

Why did Jia Ke go first with 20,000 cavalry alone, because Jia Ke was no longer short of horses, and the cavalry in Xuanfu Town were all one person and two horses, and these people often practiced with the Manchu Eight Banners, and their kung fu on the horses was not much worse than that of the Tatars, so these cavalry could withstand a long-distance attack, so that Jia Ke could rush to the capital division as quickly as possible, so as to take the lead in front of the emperor.

While waiting for the cavalry, Jia Ke discussed the march route with Fan Kang and the division of labor between the two. and left a few arrows for Fan Kang, so that he could use this as a certificate to lead 30,000 infantry, and then reinforce.

At dusk the next day, the first to arrive at Xuanfu Town were the cavalry troops, and these people arrived outside Xuanfu Town, and did not set up camp, but just rested on the spot.

It didn't take long for the cavalry of Xuanfu Town to come and join them. The two sides came together like two dragons entwined together.

This was the first time that the cavalry of Xuanfu Town fought independently, so Jia Ke upgraded their equipment, and now although they are still wearing paper armor, they are lined with two layers of silk underwear.

The reason for this is because even if the enemy's bow and arrow shoot through the paper armor. Underwear made of these two layers of silk can't hurt the body. This method was known to Jia Ke from the Internet when he was on Earth, and he also conducted experiments after the Xuanfu Righteous Temperance Envoy, and found that it was very effective, and could greatly reduce the casualties caused by bows and arrows.

Because this time they had to face the army of the Tatars, and their bows and arrows were unparalleled today, Jia Ke equipped each cavalry with two silk underwear to ensure their safety. Just this time the cost made Jia Ke spend more than half a year of his income, and Jia Ke made a meritorious contribution for this time, which can be regarded as a bloody investment.

Now that the army has been assembled, Jia Ke is not ready to let them rest, he decided to set off immediately and go straight to the capital, regardless of whether he can win or not, the first attitude must be very correct.

During the period when Jia Ke was rectifying the people, he asked the eunuch Gao to be invited, and he himself straightened out his clothes and was ready to set off at any time.

When Eunuch Gao arrived at the Jiedu Envoy's Hall, Jia Ke had already finished dressing, and when he saw Eunuch Gao coming, he said, "Is Grandpa Gao going with me this time, or is he with the infantry?" ”
