Chapter 90: Examination
Wu Li freshened up in the small courtyard, washed away the dust of the past few days, and felt that the whole person was refreshed. In the past few days, in order to reach Kaipingwei as soon as possible, the road has been bumpy without a pause. made him, a literati, really suffer a lot of crimes. Now settle down and freshen up. It made him feel much more relaxed.
In the evening, Jia Ke personally came to the door to invite Wu Li to the banquet.
Kaipingwei didn't have any good cooks, so Jia Ke had to go to the kitchen to guide him and make some of the strange dishes in Jia's mansion. Although it does not meet the standards of Jiafu, it is already rare in this border town.
At the banquet, Wu Li sat on the main seat, Jia Ke accompanied him in the side position, and the two deputy Qianhu Feng Mo and Huang Baifeng also accompanied the wine during the banquet. Wu Li praised the chef who was cooking during the banquet, believing that the food he cooked was the first in the entire Xuanfu Town. In fact, Wu Li thought that this was the chef brought by Jia Ke from Jiafu, and he was both envious and contemptuous of these children of the family, and he couldn't forget to put down his stinky shelf anywhere. Jia Ke had already seen Wu Li's thoughts, but he pretended not to know, and kept toasting Wu Li during the banquet, and said the compliments as if they didn't want money. Feng Mo, Huang Baifeng never thought of a thousand households who were so brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and there was such a side, it seems that the methods of educating the children of this family are indeed different, and there are still many merits, such exquisite and clear thoughts, they can put down their faces at any time, which they can never do. Under Jia Ke's constant adjustment of the atmosphere, everyone was very happy, and they drank until late at night, and then dispersed. Jia Ke personally sent Wu Li back to the guest room. Then I went back to rest.
The next day, Wu Li woke up and it was already three poles in the sun, but he did not forget his mission. After grooming, the first thing is to find Jia Ke and check his military exploits. This is also the main purpose of his coming, don't look at him in Kaipingwei to accept Jia Ke's banquet, but he will not have any tolerance for Jia Ke, because this is related to the military regulations and military discipline of the entire Xuanfu Town, because Wang Tao governs the army very strictly, although there are some small drawbacks in the army, but those are the conventions in the army for many years, such as eating empty salaries and so on. But under his management, Xuanfu Town has never lied about military exploits. Before he came, he decided to teach this Jia Ke a lesson. Although he could not be given a heavy penalty, he did not dare to commit it again.
Jia Ke heard that Wu Li was looking for him, so he didn't dare to slack off and immediately came to meet him.
When Wu Li saw Jia Ke, he didn't have any expression on his face, and Wu Li, who was smiling yesterday, seemed to be two people.
Jia Ke was also a little unhappy in his heart, who are these people? is playing Sichuan opera with him to change his face. One day at a time. Although he was unhappy in his heart, there was no trace of it on his face. Still respectfully saluted Wu Li first, and then asked humbly: "I don't know if the lord let the humble post come, what do you have to order?" ”
Wu Li saw that Jia Ke was still fully cooperating and did not make any resistance. There was also a trace of doubt in his heart, could it be that this Jia Ke really won the three armies bravely and achieved a great victory in Kaipingwei? But it's completely impossible to think about it. Jia Ke's current performance must be confusing himself.
Wu Li regained his confidence and said to Jia Ke: "Does the Jiedu Embassy still have important things to do?" I can't afford to delay too long, and I'll start testing my military merits today. I don't know what you have in your arrangement. ”
Jia Ke arched his hand and said to Wu Li: "There are still military affairs to be done, and I can't accompany the adults to inspect the affairs in person, so it is better to let Huang Baifeng, the deputy of Kaiping Wei, accompany the adults." I don't know what adults think? ”
Wu Li saw Huang Baifeng at yesterday's banquet, this Huang Baifeng is a middle-aged man, and he treats people very gently. Compared to the other deputy Qianhu's disapproving face towards him, although he knew that he was looking for trouble, his face was several times better. Should be a good candidate. I won't use small means to myself and delay my own things, that is, I agreed.
In fact, Jia Ke was not prepared to use any means at all. Because his military exploits are real, the reason why he is careful to tie up with Wu Li is because he is afraid, Wu Li will make him bad, although he is not afraid that he will not have his military merits, but he is still careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
So from this day on, Wu Li, accompanied by Huang Baifeng, began to test Kaipingwei's military exploits.
Wu Li is very experienced in this area, but the more he examined, the more surprised he became. Because he really found more than 600 Tatar captives in Kaipingwei.
He randomly selected and interrogated the captives, and found that they were completely different from what he had thought. The captives were all young Tatars. All were captured by Kaiping Wei on the battlefield.
After inspecting the captives, they went to inspect the three thousand two hundred heads, but Huang Baifeng heard that he was going to inspect the heads, so he asked people to prepare the carriage. This made Wu Li very puzzled.
Until they got into the carriage, left Kaipingwei, and traveled five or six miles north. Seeing the Jingguan made of human heads, Wu Li was dumbfounded.
Wu Li has seen from the history books that hundreds of years ago, the imperial court at that time went north to the grassland, won great victories one after another, and the grassland tribes who fought fled thousands of miles north.
At that time, the imperial court used human heads on the grassland to build a large view of Beijing to deter the grassland. But in reality, he never saw it.
Today, seeing Kaiping Weiwai, Jia Ke actually built a Jingguan with the head of the grassland cavalry, looking at the size of the Jingguan, there are no thousands of heads, it can't be completed. Only now did he fully believe in the fact that Kaipingwei, under the leadership of Jia Ke, broke the Tatars and beheaded thousands of people.
But he didn't think that this was Jia Ke's ability, but he was more and more afraid of the family in his heart, and he thought that this was something that Jia Fu had done with manpower and material resources.
Wu Li couldn't help but sigh at this, what the imperial court couldn't accomplish, a declining family, could easily do it. It seems that these families still have a lot of potential that is not known.
In the future, don't be too offended by this Jia Ke, in case Jia Fu gets angry, I am afraid that I will not have that shoulder to carry it down. Besides, no matter how Jia Ke's military exploits came about, but after all, it was true, and there was no panic report, so he had no reason to reprimand Jia Ke.
Wu Li returned to Kaipingwei again, and his attitude towards Jia Ke became kind again, and Jia Ke saw that Wu Li's attitude had changed so obviously, although he still had some doubts. I guessed that Wu Li saw that his military exploits were real, so his attitude changed.
Wu Li did not find out that Jia Ke's military exploits were fake, so he planned to stay for another day today, and return to the Jiedu embassy tomorrow to report to Wang Tao.
But no one expected that on this night, Kaipingwei's situation had changed dramatically.
Jia Ke was woken up in the middle of the night, and the spies reported that the Tatars had 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry marching towards Kaipingwei. At dawn, you will definitely arrive at Kaipingwei.
Jia Ke was shocked when he heard the news, he never thought that there would be fifty or sixty thousand people to besiege the little Kaipingwei, but now that he thought that this was his own negligence, he did not expect that the Tatars would come to retaliate.
Jia Ke didn't dare to delay, immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals, and he hurriedly put on his armor and rushed to the lobby of the Thousand Households Mansion.
The two deputy thousand households and the hundred households in the Kaiping Guard, suddenly heard the drum sound in the middle of the night, and knew that this was the thousand households of the adults beating the drum to gather the generals, from the beginning of the drum sound, the three-way drum did not arrive, and they were going to be beheaded to show the public. So they didn't dare to slack off, they all hurriedly dressed up and rushed to the Qianhu Mansion.
Jia Ke was the first to come to the lobby of the Thousand Households Mansion and sat in the center, waiting for everyone to arrive.
As soon as the two drums were finished, all the officers arrived. Even Wu Li heard the drums and rushed over.
This time, Jia Ke did not let Wu Li sit in the main seat, but put a chair for him under the hall. Wu Li did not have any dissatisfaction, he heard the drums of the generals in the middle of the night, he often did not know where there was an urgent military situation in the army, the main general of the army was beating the drums to gather the generals, and after arriving at the lobby, he saw Jia Ke's full uniform, and knew that he was going to exercise the responsibility of Kaiping Wei Qianhu, and he really could not interfere in any way. According to the rules of the imperial court, even he had to listen to him at this time. If there is a violation, it can be carried out in accordance with military law, and I am afraid that the head will not be guaranteed.
