Chapter 322: Dismissal and Investigation
Miaoyu followed her master since she was a child and practiced in the mountains.
Although he is full of talent, he has also developed an arrogant and noble temperament.
The way to get along with people is far inferior to Xue Baochai, who grew up in the courtyard of a deep house, even compared with Lin Daiyu, who loves to make people.
Getting along with Jia Cong is also with his own temperament.
Although the master entrusted himself to Jia Cong, Jia Cong was very strange to her after all.
There was always a trace of worry in my heart, and I didn't let go.
With this time of getting along, the relationship between the two is much more harmonious than before, and it is more natural to be together.
Still, it's not funny.
Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Jia Cong stopped teasing her.
smiled and said, "During this time, there are indeed some things that can't be separated, the barbarians have sent some female cadres, and the main target is also aimed at me, and I am busy arresting them during this time."
I also really want to come and see you, but I'm afraid that I will lure them over and hurt you again, and I can't be distressed to death, so I have endured it and didn't come to see you, in fact, my heart has already flown to you."
Miaoyu listened to Jia Cong's words, and her heart suddenly understood.
Hearing the sensual words in the back, I felt both a little shy and a little happy.
She could feel that Jia Cong liked her and cared about her very much.
looked Jia Cong up and down a few times, and saw that he didn't look like he was in trouble, so he still asked uneasily.
"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do, it's them who have something to do, I have finally cleaned them all up in the past few days, so I can come to see you with confidence, Xian Gu cares about me so much, it makes Xiaosheng ecstatic."
Miaoyu couldn't help but smile and said, "You are a dignified grandfather of the country, a great general on the battlefield, not a small life."
Jia Cong said: "In front of the fairy girl, I am willing to be a little student, and I will always be by the side of the fairy girl, so that I can get a little fairy energy."
Miaoyu smiled, "You are flamboyant, you should have deceived a lot of girls."
Jia Cong laughed and said, "I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, and I was afraid of a lot of beauties; The world has the law of both, and it lives up to its promise."
Miaoyu listened, and her eyes lit up.
I didn't expect Jia Cong to have such literary talent, it's really rare, and I thought he would fight.
The world is safe and secure, and it lives up to its promise, this sentence seems to be written by himself, which is a bit similar to his current situation.
Thinking of this, the eyes that looked at Jia Cong were even more different.
······
At the same time, an urgent report of 800 miles was delivered to Emperor Longqing.
After reading the report, Emperor Longqing was almost not angry.
Shenyang was so lost, Wang Ziteng, that bastard, trusted him so much in vain, it was really disappointing.
slapped his palm on the eucalyptus and scolded: "Waste, a group of waste, what is Wang Ziteng this bastard doing, Shenyang is fighting, he does not come to the front line to command and supervise, but he hides in Liaoyang to enjoy Qingfu, this is how he led the troops?"
Now that Shenyang is lost, he bears the main responsibility, he is dereliction of duty, which is really disappointing to me. Dai Quan, go and convene the cabinet ministers, come to the meeting, and go and find Jia Cong."
….
"Yes, master, the old slave obeys."
Dai Quan agreed, and slowly exited the imperial study.
Out of the imperial study, Dai Quan looked back and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
It was the first time he had seen Emperor Longqing have such a big fire, and this time he was really angry by the prince.
Thinking about it, Shenyang has resisted the barbarians for so many years without incident, and has been as stable as Mount Tai, but this time something happened, can it not make people angry?
Dai Quan shook his head and went to inform the people.
Emperor Longqing looked at Li Guanglu, the secretary of the military department, and asked, "Li Aiqing, do you have any remedies in the military department?
What are you going to do?"
Li Guanglu said: "Back to Your Majesty, this news came too suddenly, after the minister received the urgent report of 800 miles, he knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately came to see Your Majesty, and he didn't have time to discuss this matter.
However, the minister thought about it along the way, one is to take advantage of the fact that the barbarians are not firmly established, we sent a large army to attack the city and take Shenyang back, after all, Shenyang is deep in the hinterland of Liaodong, once the barbarians take root in Shenyang, the entire Liaodong will not be at peace.
The other is to re-erect a line of defense in Liaoyang to block the barbarians' way south."
Emperor Longqing also began to think about it, Li Guanglu's words were the same as if he didn't say it, either attacking or defending, at least he had to choose the same, and there was no substantive content at all.
Emperor Longqing has also heard a little about the situation of the Great Chu army, and the overall combat power is inferior to that of the barbarian army.
In the battle to defend the city, your side has the biggest advantage and loses, and in the siege war, your side is at a disadvantage, and the barbarians have the advantage, does your side really have a chance to win?
But if Shenyang is not taken back, the future of Liaodong will also be worried.
Besides, if you lose the city and land in your own hands, if you don't take it back, won't future generations say that you are an incompetent king?
Thinking of this, I can't wait to break Zhang Shijie's body into thousands of pieces after losing Shenyang.
After a while, several ministers of the cabinet, under the leadership of Hu Yong, came to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing said: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's get even, Liaodong has sent an urgent report of eight hundred miles, Shenyang has been occupied by the barbarians, you can all take a look, and then everyone will discuss a way."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Shenyang was lost? When did this happen?
Hu Yong hurriedly took the report, looked through it carefully, and after reading it, handed it to several other people and read them one by one.
Then, I thought carefully about what to do.
"Your Majesty, the land of Shenyang is a matter of great importance, and there is no room for failure, otherwise the entire Liaodong will be in danger, the old minister suggests, send troops to recapture Shenyang, drive the barbarians back to their hometown, re-establish a defensive line, and protect the peace of Liaodong."
After listening to Hu Yong's words, Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Li Aiqing, are you sure that your military department will recapture Shenyang?"
Li Guanglu pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to recapture Shenyang, it will cost too much, the art of war is cloudy, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiplier will divide it, the barbarians have dispatched 100,000 people this time, and after this battle, there should be 70,000 or 80,000 horses.
If we want to capture Shenyang, Liaodong's soldiers and horses are slightly insufficient, and we need to mobilize troops from other places to supplement Liaodong's troops, and the ministers are not sure that we will be able to recapture Shenyang."
….
Second assistant Yang Huai said: "Liaodong is a bitter cold land, sparsely populated, and the tax burden is even less, so it is really unnecessary to make such a big move, it is better to retreat to Liaoyang and reorganize a new defense line to block the barbarians from going south."
Li Rong said: "Although Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, the climate is harsh, and the output is not very much, but after all, it is the territory of my Great Chu, how can it be justified to give it to others, and the minister thinks that he must recapture Shenyang no matter what."
Liu Jin said: "Although Lord Li's words are reasonable, we must also consider the actual situation, whether our army can recapture Shenyang, and if so, I also support sending troops to Shenyang.
But if you are not sure at all, you have to send troops, and once you are defeated again, I am afraid that even Liaoyang will not be able to keep it, then it will really be a chicken and egg fight, and the old minister thinks that Lord Yang's method is more beneficial to the imperial court."
When Emperor Longqing heard this, he frowned.
"Although Yang Aiqing's suggestion is more secure, but my Great Chu's territory cannot be recovered, it is always a hidden danger, and the enemy can't give up one place when the enemy takes one place, right? In that case, will we not be doomed?
If this goes on for a long time, the subjects of Great Chu will lose confidence in the imperial court, who will support an incompetent imperial court, do they all want to be slaves of the country?"
Yang Huai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no selfish intentions in saying this, and it is also considered from the interests of the imperial court
。」
Emperor Longqing felt a burst of irritability in his heart, and as soon as he encountered something difficult, these people knew to push the matter on themselves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't I have any soldiers to fight in Da Chu?"
Li Guanglu said: "Your Majesty, it's not that there are no soldiers to fight, but the cost of capturing Shenyang is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Emperor Longqing suddenly remembered Jia Cong, this kid has never been defeated, if he is allowed to go out, I don't know if he can recapture Shenyang?
By the way, why hasn't this kid come yet?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Dai Quan walking in with Jia Cong.
Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted: "Minister, Jia Cong, meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing said: "Jia Aiqing, let's be flat, I just received a report from Wang Ziteng, Shenyang was captured by the barbarians, you can take a look at the content of the report first."
Jia Cong was surprised and said, "Shenyang is actually lost, so many people eat dry rice?"
After taking the report and reading it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that Hong Tai's trick was really clever, and it was logical for Zhang Shijie to be fooled.
Isn't Amin going to kill Hong Tae yet?
Or did Amin fail? Killed by Hong Tai?
Jia Cong shook his head, it shouldn't be the case, if there is something, Zhang Hu should send him a message.
Looking at it like this, I shouldn't have done it yet.
Emperor Longqing said, "Jia Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
Jia Cong said: "This fall of Shenyang was caused by the generals who defended the city, who made meritorious contributions and fell into Hongtai's female plan. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, this victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, joy and sorrow are human nature, you can't judge heroes by success or failure, you lose this time, and you can win it back next time.
I am a great Chu with a lot of resources and talents, and the little barbarians can only be rampant for a while, and they are not my opponent after all."
….
Emperor Longqing snorted and said, "What you said is simple, the battle of Shenyang, the losses were huge, tens of thousands of troops, and countless military supplies were all gone, let you go and take Shenyang back, are you sure?"
Jia Cong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the minister is not sure of victory.
With the current way of warfare, if you want to recapture Shenyang, there is only one way to storm it, and you can't do it without 200,000 soldiers and horses, if you take Shenyang, you have to kill at least 100,000 people, to put it simply, you have to fill it with human lives."
Yang Huai said, "Ning Guogong, this is too cruel, is it really worth exchanging 100,000 people for a city in a bitter cold land?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Lord Yang, war is cruel, either you die or I die, which battle, it's not that the corpses are all over the field, the bones are like mountains, and the blood is flowing like a river.
As soldiers, it is our duty and mission to defend our family and the country, as long as the country needs it, as long as Your Majesty needs it, we will not hesitate to shed blood on the battlefield and shed blood."
Hearing Jia Cong's remarks, everyone couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Hu Yong glanced at Jia Cong approvingly, no matter whether he could do it himself or not, being able to say this was enough to make people admire.
Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction, and Jia Cong's attitude made him very pleased.
This is the attitude that a loyal and good general should have.
Jia Cong is young, bloody, understands kindness and righteousness, knows advance and retreat, keeps his duty, and is also loyal to himself, much stronger than this group of old oilers.
Emperor Longqing shouted: "Well said, if everyone in my Great Chu Army is as brave and loyal as Jia Aiqing, who would dare to offend my Great Chu again?"
Jia Cong said: "Serve the country, be loyal to Your Majesty, this is the duty of the minister, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the minister can put on armor and go to the battlefield, only need to give the minister 100,000 soldiers and horses, and one year will be set for His Majesty to recapture Shenyang."
Emperor Longqing said: "Jia Aiqing, as the saying goes, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, taking advantage of the fact that the barbarian soldiers are not firmly established now, shouldn't they have a better chance of winning? Why does it have to take a year?"
Jia Cong said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the art of war is cloudy: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, you will know yourself without knowing the other, you will win and lose, you will die in every battle. ,
The minister does not have the soldiers and horses he is familiar with, he knows nothing about the future subordinates, the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, and they can't even do the confidants, so how can they win? It will take a year for the ministers to get acquainted with their subordinates and train them rigorously, and then they will be able to win."
Yang Huai said, "Ning Guogong, haven't you thought about retreating to Liaoyang? After all, Liaodong is too desolate, and the tax revenue for a year is also very limited, and the sacrifice is too great to outweigh the loss."
Jia Cong said: "Lord Yang, it's okay to temporarily set up a defensive line in Liaoyang, but Shenyang is my Great Chu land, how can I give it to the enemy, as a soldier, to defend the territory and protect the territory, I must fight for every inch of land.
Besides, although Liaodong is a little colder, it is not a barren land, the land there is very fertile, not much worse than the land of the Central Plains, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and no one has developed it.
If there is a drought this year, some of the victims can be relocated to Liaodong and let them reclaim their farmland, and whoever reclaims the farmland will own it, and the title deed will be issued and the tax exemption will be granted for three years, and I believe there will be many people who are willing to go."
Hu Yong said, "Ning Guogong, what you said is true? Is the land of Liaodong really fertile? You can't be foolish, it's a big deal."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Lord Shoufu, this matter is true, and I don't have the need to tell lies, our Jia family has its own Zhuangzi in Liaodong, and when I was in Liaodong, I rectified it, and the output was not a lot."
Li Rong said: "Even if what Ning Guogong said is true, the difficulty of immigration is also very great, and now we all know that the land of Liaodong is a barren land, a place of exile for criminals, and no one wants to go there, so let's discuss this matter later."
This time he lost Shenyang, and Wang Ziteng, as the envoy of Liaodong Festival, could not escape the blame, and asked His Majesty to issue an order to dismiss him and investigate him."
