Chapter 50: The eldest lady attacks

According to Li Chaosa's spies near Xiangyang, the Yuan army recently mobilized several thousand stones of grain and grass from Nanyang and hoarded them in several county towns near Xiangyang, and there was a possibility of looting grain.

This time, the Yuan people learned to be smart, not only there are grain protection officers but also grain receiving officers, although the total strength is still so much, but it is difficult for people to start, and it is difficult to get out once they are entangled.

However, people die for money, birds die for food, and huge profits can make people ignore life and death.

Shi Bin understood that it was time to attack and rob grain again, this time he did not hold any pre-war meeting, and only wrote a note instructing Liu Xiao to immediately pull out the camp and set off, while Zhao Gang led his troops to wait for him in Shilipu outside the city.

Knowing that this was to avoid the rude and willful Miss Jia, Liu Xiao followed his will and immediately set off from the camp. This time, Zhao Gang also showed some wisdom, and did not take the official road on the march, but took the mountain road, but was still discovered by the smart Miss Jia.

After all, Liu Xiao's disappearance is easy to arouse suspicion, let alone Jia Ling. However, she didn't blame Zhao Gang, but went back to the house to block Shi Bin, who was about to go out.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first", Shi Bin saw that he had been recognized and no longer explained, so he had to wait with her in the boudoir.

Out of nowhere, she turned out a set of lightweight leather armor with fine workmanship, Jia Ling put it on seriously, tied a jade-inlaid treasure knife, and walked to the dressing table to take a photo of the bronze mirror, obviously very satisfied with her dress.

When everything was ready, Shi Bin took his twenty guards and her twenty generals to Xiangtan together, preparing to take Zhao Gang's battalion of soldiers and horses north to Xiangyang to rob grain.

Although it is against the current, it is still much faster than the land route, and it didn't take long to enter Jingzhou City, as a daughter, she naturally had to go to her parents to greet her parents first, which is the basic etiquette.

Before he arrived at Jia Yidao's study, he was already standing in the corridor, as if he was waiting for her instead of by chance. Jia Rudao's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed, how smart Jia Ling was, where would she not know what was going on, while secretly scolding Shi Bin for not being righteous, he dared to betray her like this, while deliberately slowing down and continuing to move forward.

"Hello father." Jia Ling was very well-behaved, and quietly raised her head to secretly look at Jia Yidao's face to see if there was any change.

"You still know I'm your father? If you want to go to Tanzhou to fool around with that bastard boy, you still dare to coerce him and tempt him, so that he can promise you to rob the grain. You're getting bolder! Jia Rudao was angry, pointing to the crazy girl standing in front of him who was well-behaved on the surface but did not have a trace of remorse in his heart.

"Coercion? Tempt? It was clear that he was talking nonsense, and I was just discussing with him if I could come and see how his subordinates were fighting, and I didn't want to do anything else. Jia Ling burst into tears after hearing this, looking like she had been wronged.

Seeing Jia Ling's reaction, although Jia Yidao had long been used to it, he couldn't resist her "tear offensive", and he was a little helpless. His daughter understands for herself, even if he is a father who can't control it well, it is even more impossible to count on others, and it is estimated that being able to negotiate is Shi Bin's greatest ability.

Thinking of the documents sent by Shi Bin, Jia Rudao had no choice but to verify the details of protecting her with Jia Ling.

Everything was arranged quite tightly, but Jia Rudao was still worried that his unruly daughter would not act according to the plan, so according to Shi Bin's suggestion, he transferred Zhao Gang's battalion of elite soldiers, and strictly ordered him to protect Jia Ling and not let her leave his sight.

At the same time, Shi Bin was summoned to the mansion to consult with him to discuss the battle plan, and Shi Bin was also very happy to receive Jia Yidao's order, because he also wanted to take this opportunity to knock him out of a salary and return to Tanzhou.

It's a pity that God didn't bless Shi Bin and let the two of them meet at the gate of Jia's mansion, and the anger in Jia Ling's eyes seemed to want to crush him to ashes to vent the hatred in her heart.

Knowing that the matter was revealed, he couldn't help but secretly scold Jia Rudao for being stupid, why did he shake him out? Isn't it over to let a family carry the black pot? But after thinking about it, this is exactly the cleverness of Jia Yidao, let Jia Ling hate himself, he can let Jia Ling go back, and he will obey him for Jia Ling's sake.

However, he believed that Jia Ling would not be angry for long, because Zhao Gang would resolutely obey his orders, and Jia Ling was not a grudge-holder. So all he had to do was to go back to Tanzhou immediately and hide before Jia Ling became angry.

Wearing armor, riding a horse, tying a waist knife, carrying a good bow, and followed by a newly joined battalion of well-trained elite soldiers, Jia Ling at this time looked quite like a heroic female general. The commander of the leader was at a loss, as if he was unlucky, looking at Jia Ling in front of the team very helplessly, as if she was a life-urging ghost, and she was specially here to urge his life.

Out of Jingzhou City, Jia Ling was really restless, and urged the commander to speed up and support the grain robbery army in Gucheng. There was nothing wrong with this order, but there was a premise------- Jia Ling must have two battalions to escort the grain robbery troops in Gucheng, and at this time, the other battalion of soldiers and horses had not yet arrived, and she was ready to go north along the Han River to Gucheng, so it was absolutely not.

"Commander, why haven't you set off yet? Didn't you say that you would go to Gucheng to pick it up? Jia Ling asked sternly.

"Miss, Lord Jia's military order said that you can only respond if you are escorted by two battalions of soldiers and horses, and Commander Shi's military order also says that you can't leave Jingzhou for fifty miles, so you can't go to Gucheng, at most you can answer at the edge of Yicheng on the Han River." The commander answered Jia Ling's question in a low voice, and explained in as much detail as possible, for fear of angering this rude and willful eldest lady.

Jia Ling was about to threaten the commander to take him to Gucheng, but the battalion led by Zhao Gang arrived. Knowing that in this way, it is basically impossible to lead a battalion of people to Gucheng alone to pick up and become a heroine, but she is still ready to give it a try, maybe the reckless man will be tricked.

"Commander Zhao, you're really good." Jia Ling rode close to Zhao Gang and said with a smile.

Really good? This confuses him.

"Everyone thought that you were just a fierce general under Commander Shi, but they didn't expect that it was actually Zhiyong 。。。。。。" Jia Ling said meaningfully.

It seems that this refers to the fact that he left him behind on the mountain road in Tanzhou, and Zhao Gang didn't plan to explain, but said: "Miss, the villain just obeyed the commander's order and waited for him in Shilipu, and he was not smart." ”

Of course, this is impeccable, even if she wants to find trouble, she has nowhere to start, so Jia Ling changed her strategy.

"Commander Zhao, hello, it's tiring to march for such a long time. Commander Shi asked me to bring you some greetings, saying that you are his good brothers, and I will definitely ask Lord Meng for merit for you. I also think that you should also rest and rest, and combine work and rest. Jia Ling said with great concern.

"Thank you, Miss Jia. But I must obey the military orders, so let's get ready and go! Zhao Gang still said without a smile on his face.

Of course, Jia Ling didn't want to go all the way with Zhao Gang, so she deliberately waited before saying, "Commander Zhao, I remember that the order of the Shi Commander said that I must be protected by at least one battalion, right?" ”

"Yes."

"You see, now my father has allocated another battalion to your Commander Shi. There are only two battalions here, and there don't seem to be enough ships on the Han River. Either I'll take the camp my father gave me and go first, and you'll rest here for a while. When I get to the vicinity of Gucheng, I will send these ships back to Jingzhou, and we will meet the army of Gucheng to rob grain? ”

"Sorry, no. Commander Shi's military order was that 'he must be protected by more than 500 of his men and horses'. I am these 500 soldiers and horses, if I dare not protect you, I will violate the military order and lose my head. Zhao Gang replied firmly.

"Don't worry, I won't act without permission when I get there, and I will definitely wait for you near the dock, not to mention that Master Jia has also transferred a battalion, and I am already very safe. If you still don't worry, or it's not good or not, you don't have to be here, let's go and support the Liu Xiao brothers who are ambushing, they are very dangerous there, you better go and help. Jia Ling was very concerned about the 'persuasion'.

"Don't be clever, Miss Jia, my eldest brother has strictly ordered me to protect you, let me go."

Seeing that there was no hope, Jia Ling had no choice but to follow the two battalions to Yicheng.

Along the way, Jia Ling also played the lady's temper and threw the beautiful leather armor on a baggage car. However, she was still thinking about how to go to Gucheng to participate in the battle, and finally found a loophole in the two military orders of Jia Yidao and Shi Bin, and her face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, and she put on the leather armor again.

Soon they arrived at the Yicheng wharf, and the soldiers all boarded the ships that had been parked there in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, Jia Ling was very excited, and couldn't help but think that the scene of participating in the battle and killing the Yuan soldiers in Gucheng must be very exciting.

Seeing that the conductor had already boarded the boat, she was about to follow when she was blocked by Zhao Gang.

"Commander Zhao, aren't you going to answer?" Jia Ling asked suspiciously.

"Why am I going to pick it up? I have been ordered to protect you, and not to let you leave Jingzhou City for fifty miles. Besides, that battalion of men and horses went in my place. Zhao Gang said with a smile.

Jia Ling knew that Zhao Gang would definitely say this, but she thought that this reckless man would never dare to disobey Jia Yidao's order, and said: "I remember that Lord Jia's order is that with the protection of two battalions, I can participate in the battle. What kind of reception is it in this Yicheng? Do you dare to disobey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief of Huguang? ”

"Miss, my eldest brother knew that you would make this move, it's useless. First, I only obey the military orders of Commander Shi, and the military orders cannot be violated, not to mention that the Commander-in-Chief Huguang has no right to interfere in military operations; Second, Commander Shi's military order was that you could not leave Jingzhou City for fifty miles; Third, Yicheng is also within the scope of the response, and I didn't violate Lord Jia's order, so you don't have to go to Gucheng. ”

After listening to Zhao Gang's explanation, Jia Ling realized that her trick had failed. After planning for a long time, he didn't even see how Shi Bin's soldiers used firearms to kill the Yuan soldiers.

Knowing that Jia Ling must be very disappointed, this eldest lady is very willful, and she can't be too excited so as not to do anything harmful to Shi Bin's interests, so Zhao Gang handed her a new 'Shi Bin gun' to let her feel the feeling of shooting with a firearm, hoping to make her not too angry and ignore Shi Bin, which is protecting her.

Although Miss Jia was very resourceful, she didn't have much scheming, and it didn't take long for her to be attracted by the fresh feeling of firearm shooting and no longer angry.

Seeing that there were other firearms, she tried them all, and in order to vent the fire, she fired hundreds of bullets, threw more than 40 wooden thunderbolts, and released more than 20 shells.

It was as if it didn't cost money to fire these firearms, just that the children were throwing mud.

Knowing that Jia Yidao was powerful and wealthy, but he was not used to Jia Ling's extravagance and waste, Zhao Gang finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded: "Miss, these are all privately made by Commander Shi, but it is his money that is spent, not made by the Song Ting's household department. ”

Did Shi Bin make it with his own money? Jia Ling, who was worried that there was no place to retaliate, immediately became interested in playing with firearms again when she heard the news, and also started a "moving target".

I played until I was exhausted. Zhao Gang looked at the bullets and smoking firearms all over the ground, he couldn't help but hate himself, and just wanted to slap himself a few times.

Jia Ling, on the other hand, sat on the ground and looked at Zhao Gang's crying face with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Commander Zhao, I know that you and Commander Shi are hardcore, and you did this to protect me." Although I am very unhappy, I will not let him suffer in this, and I will make it up to you. ”

was about to thank Jia Ling for her generosity, but she changed her words and said that the money could be made up, but the trouble would still be found.

It didn't take long for the grain raiders to return triumphantly, and Jia Ling had no choice but to follow back to the city, while Zhao Gang deliberately slowed down the march, saying that there were not enough boats to carry so much grain and grass and soldiers back at the same time.

In order to vent her anger, Jia Ling didn't care about this, but just wanted to go back to Tanzhou immediately to settle accounts with Shi Bin.

However, Zhao Gang said solemnly: "Miss, you are of noble birth and obviously know the importance of grain and grass, so I think it is better to transport these grains and grass back to Tanzhou first, and then we will go back, how about it?" ”

Everyone understands these great principles, but not everyone is willing to abide by them. However, she, the eldest lady, can't play petty and show off in front of a commander, because this is Shi Bin's brother, not Jia Yidao's subordinate.

Finally, Jia Ling compromised and agreed with Zhao Gang's opinion, but made up her mind to return to Tanzhou to make Shi Bin look good.
