After the third day of the first lunar month, Jia Cong took two hundred personal soldiers to escort him, joined He Shiyuan's team, and rushed to Liaoyang together.

The two of them have a total of more than 400 horsemen, both of whom are elite in the army, enough to deal with any emergencies.

The current road is not very easy to walk, the snow in many places is very thick, and the war horses can't run, and they didn't arrive in Liaoyang until the afternoon.

The two left the guards in the barracks, only brought a few guards, and came to the Jiedu Embassy.

At the door, they showed their identity tokens and were led in.

When I came to the lobby, I saw a person sitting at the top of the head, wearing a purple official robe, in his forties and fifties, with a slight elegance, it was the newly arrived Jiedu envoy Wang Ziteng.

The two hurriedly stepped forward and clasped their fists and saluted: "Subordinates He Shiyuan and Jia Cong, see the marshal." ”

Wang Ziteng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, you have only arrived at this time, the road must not be easy to walk, right?" ”

He Shiyuan said: "The marshal clearly saw that the snow was deep along the road, and he didn't argue about the road, and the war horse couldn't gallop, but it made the marshal wait for a long time." ”

Wang Ziteng said: "I also came here a few years ago, I know the difficulty of the road, this time I came to you, first, we will meet and get to know each other, and we will work together in the future, so we can't help but know it."

The other is to wait for everyone to come together and discuss the upcoming big war and see what kind of way we can deal with the enemy, which will be more powerful for us. ”

He Shiyuan said: "Everything is subject to the orders of the marshal." ”

Wang Ziteng smiled, very satisfied with He Shiyuan's attitude.

Turning his head to look at Jia Cong, he looked up and down, and said with a smile: "You are Jia Cong, I have heard about your deeds, and you are indeed a young hero, and you are blue."

Speaking of which, our two families are still relatives, my nephew is your cousin, and my niece is your sister-in-law, you can't call me Uncle Shi, right? ”

Since Wang Ziteng has said everything about this, there is no need for him to worry about anything anymore.

If people give face, we have to carry it, otherwise we don't know how to lift it and slap other people's faces.

No matter what, now Wang Ziteng is his top boss, and it is better to be able to handle the relationship well than to make a fuss, after all, he has to stay under someone else for a few years.

Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Uncle Shi praised it falsely, little nephew Jia Cong, please see Uncle Shi, and ask Uncle Shi to take care of him in the future." ”

Wang Ziteng laughed and said: "Sure enough, he is a cheerful character, you can come over more often when you have nothing to do in the future, if you want to be transferred here, I can also help you do it." ”

Jia Cong said: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your kindness, I am used to it in Guangning, and I am already familiar with that group of subordinates, so let's stay there for the time being, I will come over to see Uncle Shi when I have time." ”

Wang Ziteng said: "That's fine, if you have anything in the future, you can come directly to me." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi."

The two stayed in Liaoyang for three days before returning to Quang Ninh.

Jia Cong did not participate in the military conference presided over by Wang Ziteng, and his current official position was not qualified enough.

Listening to He Shiyuan, this meeting was not very ideal, and everyone at the meeting had different ideas, some people advocated giving priority to defense and just guarding the city, and some people advocated taking the initiative to attack and seek fighters.

In the end, Wang Ziteng did not express his position, only said that he would wait for the war to come before making a decision.

Let everyone step up the training of soldiers and horses to deal with the coming of the big war at any time.

In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a sudden heavy snowfall made many people's plans stillborn.

The snow continued to fall for two days and two nights before it stopped, and the snow on the ground was two feet thick.

A number of high-level generals in Guangning gathered in He Shiyuan's general military mansion to push cups and change lamps.

Yang Shixuan said with a smile: "It's okay now, the battle can't be fought, and we can be free for a while." ”

He Shiyuan said: "There will be no war in a month, it is estimated that the barbarians will not attack until after the beginning of spring, and we can also have more time to prepare."

This war is also a test for us, I don't want to be able to take much credit, just to be able to defend this Quang Ninh city, I am already satisfied, this still needs everyone to work together. ”

"We all look to the general, and we will do what the general says."

"Brother Jia, you had a bumper harvest last year, with countless achievements, let us old people, but our eyes are red, this year's war has started, please Brother Jia take you old brothers, you eat meat and let us drink soup."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The generals are serious, if the big war comes this year, I will also obey the command of the general, how the general tells me to fight, I will fight, if it is a battle to defend the city, it will be a war of attrition, and there is no chance to take advantage of it."

If there is really a chance to find a fighter, his subordinates will definitely call all the generals, and the generals can rest assured. ”

The generals laughed and said: "Then we have to thank Brother Jia first, come, let's toast Brother Jia together." ”

Next, it was a rare time to spend some time relaxing.

It was not until the beginning of spring, after the cultivation season, that the war was late.

This time, Hongtai gathered an army of 50,000 barbarians and 30,000 Horqin cavalry and launched a brazen attack on the surrounding areas of Shenyang.

All the way, it was like a bamboo, and one stronghold and Wu fort were pulled out.

At the same time, 50,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed to the city of Quang Ninh, and after showing off their might, they actually dispersed and left, which made everyone a little confused.

Then the news came, and the Mongol soldiers divided into five teams and sacked the nearby Wu Fort, and some of the Wu Forts sent a distress message to Quang Ninh City.

This is the advantage of the agility of the cavalry, as long as you don't go out of the city to fight, I will harass your rear as much as I want, and make you miserable.

He Shiyuan is also in a dilemma, Guangning City has a total of more than 10,000 cavalry, and going out of the city is not an opponent at all.

But when I didn't go out of the city, in the face of the harassment of the Mongols, I saw that those Wu forts were breached one by one, and a large number of men and women were taken captive as slaves, and my heart was also extremely entangled.

"Everyone, now this situation, everyone has seen it, we don't care if we can't say it, whatever, it's really powerless, I can't help it.

If you have a way, please bring it up as soon as possible, so that we can rescue those innocent people and solve the dilemma in front of us. ”

Everyone knew what was going on, and the reason why these Mongol soldiers were looting everywhere was to provoke them, lure them out of the city, and then destroy them.

The best way is to hold the troops, as long as the city of Quang Ninh is not lost, it is a great achievement.

If you really go out of the city to rescue, you will undoubtedly fall into their calculations, and the meat buns will beat the dogs, and there will be no return.

There really isn't a good solution to the current situation.

You can only choose to stand still, so as to respond to all changes.

"General, the current situation is really not suitable for rescue in the city, we still focus on being safe and focusing on Quang Ninh City."

"Yes, if you rush to the rescue, what if you are ambushed by the enemy? At that time, I am afraid that even Guangning City will not be able to be saved. ”

"The top priority at the moment is to hold on to Quang Ninh City while sending people to send a letter to the Jiedu envoys in Liaoyang, asking for their assistance."

He Shiyuan saw that everyone had no good way, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It's not that I don't want to save it, it's that I really can't save it.

Seeing that Jia Cong was sitting there and didn't speak, he couldn't help but ask: "Jia Cong, you kid has a flexible head, and you have also gone deep into the grassland, what can you do about the situation in front of you?" ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "General, sticking to Guangning City is indeed the safest way, sending troops to rescue is just the next step, but if you really want to watch those people suffer and ignore it, you can't bear it."

If you send troops, it is too risky, you must fight a blitzkrieg, fast forward and retreat, find out the enemy's position, attack quickly, take them by surprise, or even destroy them. ”

"It's too risky, isn't it? Who do you let go of such a dangerous thing? ”

"Yes, General Jia, this is too risky, I won't go to this kind of thing, I'm not sure at all."

He Shiyuan said: "This is indeed too risky, is there any other way?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "If the general wants to save people, there is only one way, if it is operated well, he can eat the other party's 10,000 horses and solve the current dilemma."

If the general is willing to give me 10,000 elite cavalry, I am willing to lead the team out of the city, and I am sure that I will eat them all the way and solve this dilemma for the general. ”

Yang Shixuan said: "Brother Jia, this is not a joke, once something goes wrong, you can't come back, you have to think clearly." ”

He Shiyuan said: "Are you really sure? Isn't this child's play? ”

Jia Cong said: "General, if I have 10,000 cavalry, even if I charge face to face, I am confident that I can defeat the opponent's 10,000 cavalry.

If the generals can trust me, they can take your elite and send troops with me, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and there will be no such shop after this village, you must know that danger and opportunity coexist. ”

Hearing Jia Cong's words, all the generals were silent, this matter was really too dangerous, they really didn't dare to participate, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to come back.

He Shiyuan glanced at Jia Cong deeply, remembering what he was doing on the grassland, but he had some confidence in him.

"Okay, since you're not afraid of death, I'll make a bet today, my five thousand cavalry are under your command, plus your own men, it's almost seven thousand, and the remaining three thousand, I'm responsible for getting it together for you, it's up to you whether you win or lose."

Jia Cong said: "I will not disappoint the general, in fact, it is almost the same with these 7,000 people, the reason why I bring more people is just to let everyone share some credit."

Since everyone is not happy, then don't regret it afterwards, it's not my brother who eats alone, it's you who don't believe me and give up by yourself, you really can't blame me. ”

Soon gathered 10,000 horses, Jia Cong did not leave the city immediately.

Instead, he sent Tie Zhu and others out first, to find out the real situation around him, and to grasp the first-hand information in his hands.

This war is an intelligence war, and as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

If you don't know the enemy's movements, you may be eaten.

For three days in a row, Jia Cong didn't move, and some people began to lose their breath, not knowing what kind of fame he was doing.

He Shiyuan took the initiative to find him and asked, "What's the matter, when will you send troops?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, now is not the time, I need to know the information of all the enemy troops within a radius of fifty miles, so that I can be sure that I can kill one of the enemies without being surrounded by the enemy, if the news is not accurate, it is likely to be ambushed by the enemy." ”

He Shiyuan smiled when he heard this: "No wonder your kid has made so many contributions, just with this prudence and prudence, it is difficult to make meritorious contributions, it seems that this time I am going to touch your light." ”

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Shi is polite, you also know my situation, no matter how much military merit I make, Your Majesty may not necessarily promote me, it is better to let Uncle Shi take the big head, and find a way to get the position of the envoy of the festival when the time comes." ”

"You kid has a heart."

On the night of the fifth day, Jia Cong quietly led the team out of the city.

He arrived at a valley at dawn, and after a quarter of an hour's rest, it was already dark.

Jia Cong gave an order and commanded the army to kill into the valley.

10,000 elite cavalry, facing 10,000 enemies who were still asleep, launched a massacre.

Many people were awakened by the sound of fighting, and as soon as they ran out of the tent, they were cut off by a head-on knife.

The tent of 10,000 men was still very large, and the commander of the Mongol soldiers gathered a group of men and horses and began to block it.

In the face of the swarming of people and horses, they can only retreat step by step.

However, Taniguchi was tightly blocked, and he couldn't run if he wanted to, so he really became a dog shut.

The war lasted nearly two hours before it was completely over.

Then began to clean up the battlefield and count casualties.

A total of 10,000 enemies were annihilated, 10,000 horses were captured, countless armor and weapons, and some looted property.

This time, the other party didn't have time to get on the horse, and it was destroyed, but the war horse was not damaged.

On his side, more than 800 people were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded.

With such an advantage, so many people died, which made Jia Cong a little speechless, this is Guangning's elite soldiers.

In the evening, Jia Cong led the team, with the booty, to return to Quang Ninh Cheng.

Looking at the 10,000 war horses and countless trophies, the entire Quang Ninh City was boiling.

When the generals saw this scene, they regretted that their intestines were blue, this time Jia Cong invited them, they were afraid of death and refused directly, who can blame them.

He Shiyuan looked at the battle report in his hand, not to mention how happy he was, this Jia boy is really powerful, if he doesn't move, he will be thunderous if he moves.

Going out at night and coming back before dark is really inefficient.

He Shiyuan laughed and said: "Good boy, it's really amazing, it didn't disappoint me, he strategized, he won every battle, and he was really a winning general." ”

Jia Cong said: "The general praised it falsely, this is all the soldiers, who sacrificed their lives to fight hard, I hope the general can take out a part of the spoils, reward them, and compensate the families of those who died, this time there are a lot of people who died." ”

Yang Shixuan said: "After killing 10,000 people, only a few hundred casualties were killed, this casualty is negligible, it is already very remarkable, Brother Jia's ability, the old brother is really convinced, this battle is really happy." ”

He Shiyuan sighed: "Yes, I haven't fought such a happy battle for many years, it's really a relief for his anger, this capture is also very rich, we will make a fortune with these 10,000 war horses alone, have you thought about how to distribute it?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "There is a general, everything is up to the general, I have no opinion." ”

He Shiyuan smiled with satisfaction, this kid can fight, he can be a man, he is really a character, this luck can't be stopped.

He Shiyuan sent someone to send the good news to Liaoyang, and at the same time sent it to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

Two days later, four other Mongol cavalrymen, having discovered their slain companions, immediately turned their horses around and left Quang Ninh.
