Chapter 158: Sending Troops
Jia Ke heard him say this, and he didn't know if it was okay, and then asked him: "In that case, you show me the military order of the Jiedu envoy." ”
The soldier did not dare to hesitate, took off his shoes, and took out a letter from the insole. Then he was embarrassed to hand it over to Jia Ke, and when Jia Ke saw such a situation, he now believed him a little.
Jia Ke didn't dislike the stench coming from the letter when he took it, so he looked at the envelope carefully, and then handed it to Fan Kang next to him, reviewed it again, and finally opened it again.
The letter was written by Wang Tao, the envoy of Jiedu, and the general content was: The Tatars were besieging the city in a hurry, and although Xuanfu Town was prepared, the troops were insufficient. I was afraid that I would not be able to hold on for a long time, so I ordered Jia Ke to immediately raise troops to reinforce after receiving the letter.
Jia Ke connected to two orders for him to raise troops, and now it is justified to send troops. Jia Ke immediately ordered his own soldiers to go and give an order, ordering all the thousand households to meet in the lobby of the garrison mansion.
Jia Ke, Fan Kang and others also went down the city tower and went to the garrison mansion.
As soon as Jia Ke arrived at the garrison mansion, all the officials of the thousand households had already arrived. Jia Ke sat down in the center of the main hall, and Fan Kang stood beside him.
Jia Ke didn't talk nonsense, and said to the following: "Just now I received the document from the Ministry of War, and the rescue letter from the Jiedu envoy, all of which are orders for us to raise troops to rescue Xuanfu Town. In times of sub-national crisis, I, Jia Ke, will never sit idly by. So I decided to start the army tomorrow and immediately go to the rescue of Xuanfu Town. ”
When the people below heard this, they all cried out.
"My lord, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, the first few Tatars came, it seems that the lesson is not enough for them, this time we will give him a ruthless one, let him remember how powerful they are in Kaiping Town." This is over-optimism.
There are also people with a pessimistic attitude: "My lord, although our soldiers in Kaiping Town are brave. But after all, there are too few personnel, and I am afraid that the soldiers will be in danger this time, and adults will have to think twice. ”
The people below are still in the majority who have a pessimistic attitude, and it cannot be said that they are pessimistic, but only that they are very rational.
Jia Ke sat on it and listened, and there was a lot of noise below, although he was very angry, but he didn't have a seizure. After all, this time is really dangerous.
Jia Ke heard that they were arguing, and then patted the table and said: "No matter what the reason, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, even if the Ministry of War issues an order, I, Jia Ke, must obey it." Listen to me, too, that tomorrow you must go. However, those who disobey military orders and do not obey will be immediately decided. ”
When everyone below heard Jia Ke's decision, they all became silent. Jia Ke knew that this trip was indeed dangerous, so his old nest Kaiping Town must be protected, which was the capital of his comeback. In case of ineffective fighting, he also has a way out.
So Jia Ke ordered again, "Where is Fan Kang, the county commander of Kaiping Town?" ”
Fan Kang hurriedly got out of class and said, "I don't know what the matter of the adult calling him a humble position?" ”
Jia Ke said with a solemn expression: "This time, I will go to reinforcements with the soldiers of Taiping Town, and this Kaiping Town will be handed over to you, I can only leave you a thousand people, five hundred phalanx soldiers and five hundred crossbowmen, you see if you have the confidence to hold Kaiping Town." ”
Fan Kang didn't talk immediately, but thought carefully for a while, and then replied: "Your Excellency, there are indeed a few thousand people, can you please give an order, so that I can recruit the young people in the city if necessary." ”
Jia Ke did not hesitate to say to him: "In a moment of crisis, you can gather all the young people in the city to participate in the defense of the city. And you will have at your disposal all the supplies in the city. ”
Fan Kang then arched his hand and said: "So please rest assured, as long as the Tatars do not attack the city with more than 20,000 people, I can ensure that Kaiping Town is safe." If it exceeds 20,000 and less than 50,000, I can keep Kaiping Town safe for two months, and if it exceeds 50,000, I can only keep Kaiping Town safe for 20 days. ”
Jia Ke was very satisfied with his answer, if more than 50,000 people desperately attacked the city, even if he was 10,000 people, he might not be able to hold out for twenty days.
After Jia Ke finished instructing Fan Kang, he said to the generals in the hall: "That's it, now everyone go back and prepare immediately." We will all depart early tomorrow morning. Huang Baifeng's logistics in this battle is up to you to worry about more. It is necessary to prepare more food and grass, in case the rout is collected along the way, and there is nothing to eat in the end, it will be a joke. ”
Huang Baifeng stepped forward and asked, "My lord, I don't know how much grain and grass to prepare?" ”
Jia Ke turned his head and asked Fan Kang, "What does Mr. mean?" ”
Fan Kang said confidently: "At least double the preparations, there are quite a few defeated soldiers everywhere now, and those who can be collected are some elites." At that time, these people can also become the help of adults, and when they arrive in Xuanfu Town, they will also be able to grow stronger. ”
Jia Ke was convinced by his words, and then said to Huang Baifeng: "Just do what Mr. Fan said, and prepare twice as much grain and grass." ”
Huang Baifeng said to Jia Ke again: "If our army travels, I'm afraid we will have to recruit a lot of young men to help the army transport grain." At that time, I will give my husband less strong men, and I don't know if I can prevent it. ”
This time, Jia Ke looked directly at Fan Kang, and Fan Kang said casually: "It doesn't matter much, I mainly defend the city in the city, as long as the method is proper and persists until you come back, it doesn't matter much." ”
Jia Ke then ordered with confidence: "From now on, all the vehicles, all donkeys, horses and other livestock in the whole city will be collected in order to transport grain for the army." Tomorrow morning it must be ready. ”
Before Jia Ke left, he ordered all the generals to go down to prepare, and gathered their respective troops to prepare their bags. Among them, Huang Baifeng's task was the most arduous, and Jia Ke sent Chen Xi to assist him, and he must complete it tonight.
Jia Ke went back to the inner house to rest, who made him the chief official, some things should be handed over to his subordinates, otherwise he would not be exhausted to death like Zhuge Liang in the end.
As soon as Jia Ke woke up the next morning, he immediately put on it. With the help of the three maids, he put on the phoenix winged purple gold crown, put on the unicorn bright light armor, and also climbed on the clouds. Our three maids left the garrison mansion under the reluctant eyes, and under the escort of Liu Yu and other 120 personal soldiers, they went straight to the teaching field.
By the time they arrived at the Great Church, nine thousand soldiers had already been prepared. Among them, there were 4,500 Macedonian phalanxes, 1,500 crossbowmen, and 3,000 cavalrymen. In addition, there are nearly 3,000 young men and strong men, and 1,000 carts. Huang Baifeng collected all the vehicles in the city, and even saw many luxury carriages for large families.
Jia Ke was very satisfied with this situation, this time it was considered to have solved the grain and grass for a few months, and when he arrived in Xuanfu Town, even if he could not win, he could confront the Tatars for a long time.
Jia Ke rode on the horse, and it was not nonsense, and said to the following: "The military situation is urgent, and the army will set off immediately." ”
After Jia Ke announced the order, he said to the three cavalrymen directly under him, Qianhu Luo Cen, Xiao Kun, and Ma Zuo: "The three of you send more scouts and horses to guard around the army. The Tatars must not be allowed to take advantage of it. ”
The three of them arched their hands together and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely send more detectives, and I will never let my lord down." ”
These three people actively moved closer to Jia Ke after Jia Ke arrived at Kaipingwei. And during this period of time, the five-body surrender that has admired Jia Ke's martial arts and Taoluo has now sincerely looked at Jia Ke's horse. can also be regarded as Jia Ke's henchmen, so Jia Ke let the three of them serve as cavalry thousand households, and directly control 3,000 cavalry for Jia Ke.
Jia Ke But Jia Ke did not completely rely on these thousands of households to control the troops, all the hundred households in Kaiping Town, either Jia Ke's personal soldier background, or was promoted by him to the end of the micro, and was personally trained and taught (brainwashed) by Jia Ke in the study class, and regarded Jia Ke as a master, these people are the backbone of Jia Ke's control of the army.
Therefore, now Jia Ke's control over the army has reached a very tight level. I'm afraid that no one can command these troops except Jia Ke. Although it can't be said to be his private soldier yet, it's not far off.
