Chapter 300: The Emperor's Temptation
After arranging everything properly, Jia Cong thought about it carefully.
Nothing was missing, so I settled down and waited for the result.
This matter is only for oneself, and it is a big deal for oneself, but compared to the war between the two countries, it is a small matter.
The two countries exchanged troops, which was a major national affair, and there must be no negligence.
Although he has already left Liaodong, he will not necessarily let himself participate in another war.
But the stakes are high, and you can't ignore it.
Now that he has received the news, he must report it to Emperor Longqing and let the Great Chu army deploy in advance, so as not to be caught off guard.
This is the duty of an Imperial soldier, and it is also the ethics of being a soldier.
Seeing that it was still early, Jia Cong took Qingwen and others, and the rest of his own soldiers, out of Ningguo's mansion and went straight to the palace.
······
At the same time, the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division also received Jia Cong's warrant.
Looking at the contents of the warrant, I couldn't help but think about it secretly.
It seems that this Shangguan is going to make a big move again.
What the hell is going on? Why didn't I get any rumors, and I don't know who I was targeting this time?
For this Shangguan, several people were both respectful and afraid.
Everyone is not clean, and they are afraid that one day, Jia Cong's butcher's knife will fall on their heads.
For Jia Cong's ability and efficiency, everyone admires it.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, overnight, the entire gang of human traffickers was cracked, all of them were arrested, and the iron-blooded gang that colluded with them was also found, and the rescuers of the second prince were slaughtered.
】
Everyone thought that the second prince would not give up and would definitely fight against Jia Cong.
Everyone was waiting to see the excitement, but there was no movement at all in the Second Prince's Mansion, which disappointed everyone.
Jia Cong was stunned that there was nothing to do, and he was still happy and happy.
After this battle, the security of Shenjing City was better.
Whether it is those people in the rivers and lakes or the gangs in the capital, they have put away their fangs and become law-abiding citizens.
It's only been more than two months, and it's time for another big operation.
Looking at this instruction, it is definitely not a trivial matter to make such a big move.
I don't know if any of the unlucky ones will bump into the hands of Jia Cong, the living king of Hades.
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and immediately summoned their subordinates and gave Jia Cong's instructions.
Subordinates are required to be meticulous in carrying out orders.
Subsequently, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division took action one after another, pouring into the streets in batches, patrolling the crowds on the streets, intending to find a suitable target.
When encountering this kind of action, the soldiers are very enthusiastic, because there will be additional rewards for completing the task.
Jia Cong took advantage of this to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.
Otherwise, they can't do their work, and you can't do anything about them, so it's better, if you want to make money, you have to work hard and work hard to complete the task.
If you are lazy and can't complete the task, then you can't live and have nothing.
This can be regarded as more work and more reward, less work and less gain, and no hard work.
When Qiu Liang received the order, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent three teams of men and horses to patrol near Jia's house, and sent all the soldiers to patrol the streets.
Qiu Liang was the first to contact Jia Cong, and he also knew Jia Cong better.
Although he has no evidence for some things, he can be sure that they are all related to Jia Cong.
is ruthless to Jia Cong, and his resolute attitude is also a little worried in his heart, and he never dares to slack off on his instructions.
However, Jia Cong is not bad, and he is also generous to his subordinates, and he has gained a lot of benefits from him.
After arranging his subordinates, Qiu Liang directly led a team of people to Ning Guofu.
Hearing that Jia Cong led people away, he went around to the construction site of the provincial family's courtyard, found Jia Lian, and the two chatted.
"Brother Qiu, why do you have time to come?"
Qiu Liang said: "Brother Lian, Brother Cong asked me to send two teams of men and horses to patrol around here, if there is anything, you can call them directly." ”
Jia Lian said: "This is good, what are people patrolling here?" What could be going on here? ”
Qiu Liang looked at no one around, and then whispered: "Brother Lian, you should pay attention, Brother Cong not only let me send such a few people, but our soldiers and horses have all sent out, and the whole city is looking for people from the north."
With such a big move, my brother estimates that something will happen, so I asked me to send two teams of people over, it should be to protect the people in the house, Brother Lian is better to be careful, I also want to ask what happened, unfortunately Brother Cong took someone out. ”
Jia Lian said with a puzzled face: "I haven't heard anything about it, Brother Cong came over in the morning and talked to me for a while, and then he left, and he didn't mention it to me." ”
Qiu Liang said: "Maybe after leaving, what happened, since you don't know, then my brother left first, and I will go around the street, I don't dare to slack off on Brother Cong's orders." ”
Jia Lian smiled: "When Brother Cong comes back, I'll ask him what happened?" ”
Sending Qiu Liang away, Jia Lian also pondered.
It's only been a few days since it stopped, why is there a commotion again?
For his brother, he knows very well, usually nothing happens, but once there is something, it is not a trivial matter.
He is still more relieved about Jia Cong, and this time he doesn't know which unlucky guy will hit him?
······
The Royal Palace, in the Imperial Study.
Seeing Jia Cong coming over at this hour, Emperor Longqing was also a little surprised.
"Jia Aiqing, you came here at this time, but what can't you do?"
Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister got the news today, the barbarian Hongtai is going to wage war against my Dachu again, this matter is very important, after the minister got the news, he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately rushed over." ”
Emperor Longqing was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted.
Frowning and asking, "Is this serious?" How did you find out about this? ”
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, this matter is true, such a major news, how dare the minister open his mouth, when the minister was in Liaodong, he bribed an inside line within the barbarian clan to provide me with news, and this time it was the news he passed on to me."
It is reported that the barbarians have passed a resolution to send troops, and the army is making final preparations for the expedition, and the soldiers and horses have begun to be mobilized, and the target of their attack this time should be Shenyang.
Although it is said that the high walls of Shenyang City are thick and difficult to be breached, it is better to inform them as early as possible and let them arrange defenses as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard and have unpredictable consequences. ”
Emperor Longqing stared at Jia Cong for a while, not that he didn't believe Jia Cong, but the news was a little too sudden.
The two countries exchanged troops, which involved a great deal and had to be treated with caution.
Just based on the news of an inside line, the teacher will move the people, in case it is a misunderstanding, then it will be laughable and generous.
"Are you reliable insider? Can you be sure of the accuracy of this message? ”
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, the information that this person gave me before was accurate, and this estimate will not be wrong, I am willing to believe him, but I have no evidence to make Your Majesty fully believe it."
It is not a bad thing to let the Liaodong side deploy defenses in advance, and they can send outposts to investigate the truth and truth, if they really want the barbarians to send troops, the movement will definitely not be small, and it should be easy to verify. ”
Emperor Longqing thought for a moment and nodded.
He knows that Jia Cong will not joke with him about this kind of big thing, and besides, this kid has always been very reliable, and this news should be true.
This barbarian is really dead, and the last time he was beaten back, it was only more than two years.
This has just been restored for a short time, and it has made a comeback.
"Dai Quan, notify the Ministry of War, let them send eight hundred li to expedite the news of the barbarian army to Liaodong, let them investigate the truth while arming the defense, and tell Wang Ziteng to deal with it carefully and not be negligent."
"Yes, master, the slave will go and inform the military department."
Dai Quan agreed, and hurriedly left the imperial study and went to the military department to deliver the message.
Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Cong and asked, "Jia Aiqing, you said that if the barbarians really attack Shenyang, will Shenyang be able to hold it?" What will be the outcome of the two sides? Can we win? ”
The waves and clouds on the battlefield are strange and unpredictable, and Jia Cong can't predict the result.
The main thing is that the soldiers of Da Chu, compared with the barbarians, are a lot worse, and it is okay to defend the city, once they fight in the field, they will definitely be defeated.
The victories he had won in Liaodong before were all won by Amin with detailed information, and he used ambushes, sneak attacks, and the power of grenades to win victory after victory.
What I fought was an intelligence war, and I really knew myself and my opponent, so that I could win all battles later.
For those people in Liaodong, I am not sure at all.
If you stick to Shenyang and don't go out to the waves, it shouldn't be a big problem to keep Shenyang.
Hong Taiming knows that Shenyang is difficult to fight, and he still insists on attacking Shenyang, he should have a countermeasure, right?
Otherwise, with Hongtai's ability, he should not have made such a decision.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the old slave broke through Shenyang, he also used a strategy to lead Shenyang's soldiers out of the city to fight, and then there was Neiying who opened the city gate, which broke Shenyang in one fell swoop.
Could it be that Hong Tae also wants to use this method?
Could it be that in Shenyang City, there are no people with him? If that's the case, Shenyang will be in danger.
"Your Majesty, how is the victory? The minister did not dare to assert that on the battlefield, everything could happen at a rapid pace, so he could only adapt to the situation in order to be perfect.
Shenyang City has thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to capture Shenyang, it is very difficult, as long as our soldiers do not hold out, only defend and not attack, and it is not a big problem to hold Shenyang.
I am afraid that they will fall for the tricks of the barbarians, and be lured by others, and go out of the city to fight, and fight in the field, and our soldiers, who are not the opponents of the barbarians, will be defeated at that time. ”
Emperor Longqing was not very satisfied with this answer, could his own soldiers really not be able to defeat the barbarians?
Since Jia Cong won many battles in Liaodong and repelled the barbarian army several times, Emperor Longqing was full of confidence and confidence in the army of Great Chu.
Hearing Jia Cong say this, he was quite unimpressed.
I thought Jia Cong was alarmist, if that's the case, then how did you win the battles you fought?
Could it be that this kid said this on purpose, and he still wants to go to the battlefield?
"Jia Aiqing, according to what you said, our soldiers can't compare to the barbarians, but when you are in Liaodong, you can win every battle, why is this?"
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, the minister spent a lot of money to buy intelligence, knew the enemy's marching route, and has achieved the true knowledge of himself and the enemy, and then, the minister set up an ambush in advance, using gunpowder and sneak attacks and other means to destroy the enemy."
Without perfect preparation, the minister will not shoot easily, once shot, it must be a fatal blow, on the battlefield, intelligence is the most important, if you don't even know the reality of the other party, you will act rashly, unless you hit the luck, otherwise you will be defeated. ”
Emperor Longqing nodded, and also agreed with Rang Jia Cong's point of view.
Although he had never fought a war, he had read several military books, and it was not that he was ignorant of war.
He also felt that it was not a big problem to keep Shenyang.
The barbarians have attacked Shenyang several times, but they have not been defeated, and this time will not be an exception.
Thinking of this, Emperor Longqing relieved himself.
Emperor Longqing still admires Jia Cong's military ability, and if he is sent there, it will be even more foolproof.
It's just that this kid is too young and has too much credit, and if he continues to make meritorious contributions, he will soon be unsealable, and it is not a good thing to go on like this.
Now Jia Cong is the Duke of Ning Guo, if he makes another great contribution, he can only be crowned a king with a different surname.
Emperor Longqing himself was also a little resistant to this, and the officials in the court and China were even more reluctant to see this scene, there were countless soldiers in Dachu, and it was impossible for Jia Cong to fight alone, without him, wouldn't Dachu still be able to fight?
I don't know what this kid thinks, and if he wants to continue to go to the battlefield, he can test it.
"Jia Aiqing, are you willing to go to the battlefield again and serve the country?"
When Jia Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
I don't understand what Emperor Longqing means by this, do you really want to let yourself go to the front line again, and you can't lead your troops to fight?
It is said that his current age will not make Emperor Longqing jealous.
The only concern is that if you make another great contribution, when the time comes, there will be no seal, and the two sides will have a mustard.
It's just that I didn't have time to think about it at this time, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, as a soldier, bloody territory, defending the country, that is the duty of the minister, as long as the country needs, as long as Your Majesty needs, the minister is ready to listen to Your Majesty's call at any time."
As long as Your Majesty says a word, the ministers can immediately put on armor and go into battle, kill the enemy chieftain, cut through thorns and thorns for Your Majesty, protect my Great Chu territory, let the invading enemy be wiped out, and raise the power of my Great Chu. ”
No matter what the future holds and what the outcome is, there is still an attitude that should be there.
When Emperor Longqing heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
Jia Cong's attitude made him very satisfied, this is exactly the attitude that a hot-blooded young man should have, the king is protected, the people are protected, and the real loyal and brave man is protected.
This kid is still very loyal to himself, if he is not allowed to go to the battlefield, I don't know if he will complain?
"Jia Aiqing, what do you think yourself, do you still want to go to the battlefield?"
After hearing this, Jia Cong finally understood that Emperor Longqing was testing himself.
He arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, to tell you from the heart, on the battlefield, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, very cruel, if you are not careful, you may never come back, and you can only return the horse leather shroud."
Now that the minister has become famous and has reached the age of marriage, he also wants to marry a wife and have children, and live a comfortable life, if it is not necessary, the minister does not want to go to the battlefield again.
Besides, my great Chu soldiers are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, so I have to give these people a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”
Listening to Jia Cong's words, Emperor Longqing was completely relieved.
I am very satisfied with Jia Cong's knowledge of current affairs, but I am also somewhat disappointed in my heart.
At a young age, he lost his fighting spirit, which makes people feel a little regretful.
Fortunately, I got the result I wanted, which is a good thing.
