Chapter 471: Soldiers besiege Yulin
Seeing the old lady looking at her eagerly, the mandarin duck nodded hurriedly.
"Old lady, naturally it's true, how dare you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, today there is an urgent report of 800 miles into the capital, and the capital has been spread all over, saying that it is a great victory in Shaanxi, and the Duke of Ning Guo has broken the rebel army of 100,000 horses.
Or the crescent moon got the news and rushed over to inform me, and our wife was also here, so I hurried over to inform everyone, so that everyone would not always remember it."
"Yes, yes."
Jia Mu got the exact answer and laughed excitedly.
"It's my good grandson, and it didn't disappoint me, which is a great achievement. Under the successive defeats of the imperial army, this victory was crucial, and it saved the face of the imperial court in one fell swoop."
Tanchun said with a smile: "What the old lady said is that the third brother can achieve such a big victory as soon as he enters Shaanxi, then the rebels will definitely not be his opponents in the future, and it is a matter of time to destroy the rebels, so we don't have to worry about the third brother."
Xichun said, "That's great, I'm worried about my brother these days."
Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "The third brother is really amazing, but I don't feel a little sorry to see him break the rebels."
Aunt Xue also smiled on her face, and her heart burst into ecstasy.
is worthy of being his favorite son-in-law, this ability is enough, and when the class teacher returns to the court, he will definitely be more favored by the emperor.
said to Jia's mother: "Congratulations to the old lady, Brother Cong has this feat, and the status of the Jia family will be more stable, what a great joy."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Tongxi, Tongxi, thank you for your aunt's auspicious words."
Mrs. Xing glanced at Mrs. Wang, and saw that her face was blue and red for a while, unpredictable, and her heart couldn't help but be very happy.
Makes you uneasy and kind, now slap your face, right?
The key is to force a smile and not dare to let people see it, which is probably quite refreshing.
Sensing Mrs. Xing's eyes, Mrs. Wang barely squeezed out a smile, and her expression was even more ugly than crying.
While feeling unhappy, he also scolded secretly.
Jia Cong, that little bastard, how could he have such a big luck, how good it would be to give this luck to Baoyu and his uncle, so that the Wang family would also have a title, it was really annoying.
And this Mrs. Xing, you are happy fart, people are not your son for a long time, not even in name.
I guess I regret dying now, why did I go earlier.
Xue Baoqin smiled: "Brother-in-law is really amazing, congratulations to my sister, congratulations to Sister Lin."
Yingchun also smiled: "Two younger brothers and sisters, you should rest assured now."
For a while, the little sisters stepped forward to congratulate the two.
Xue Baochai laughed with a smile on his face, and he was extremely proud in his heart, his man was amazing.
When Lin Daiyu heard the news of Jia Cong, she was also happy, and she was relieved to know that he was fine, but as for the credit or something, she didn't care.
With the guidance of her father Lin Ruhai, she has a more thorough understanding of Jia Cong's situation and knows some hidden secrets that others don't know.
However, Jia Cong won a big victory, and she was still very happy.
He smiled and said, "Old lady, Brother Cong has won a big victory, this is a great joy, why don't we do the east and invite the old lady and everyone to go to our side to be lively?"
Jia Mu smiled and said: "I'm also happy today, so let's just be lively together, but you don't have to go over there, just come here, I can still afford to have a host, and everyone is not allowed to leave today."
Aunt Xue smiled, "Then disturb the old lady."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Ancestor, you don't know how to settle accounts, Sister Lin, the rich man, has a treat, let's just go and eat, why bother to pay out of your own pocket, we don't add up to Sister Lin who has no money."
Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's not as good as you like, just eat it at home, don't arrange it quickly."
"Okay, the ancestor opened his mouth, and his granddaughter-in-law ran and broke her leg, hey, it's really hard."
After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, everyone was haha
Laughed.
······
A long procession slowly marched down the main road.
All of them were horse-drawn carts full of grain, stretching for more than ten miles, with no end in sight.
This is the grain transportation team organized by Ning Guofu.
Among them, there are the grain team of Rongguo Mansion, the grain team of the Xue family, the grain team of the Shi family, the grain team of the Wang family, the grain team of the Beijing Palace, the grain team of the Niu family, the grain team of the Lin family, ······ and some wealthy and wealthy businessmen, who also chose to follow the Jia family to act together.
In addition to some familiar ones, there are also some less familiar ones, and they also silently followed the back of the team.
The whole grain team was mighty and powerful.
This trip to transport grain was carried out by Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion and Xue Pan of the Xue family.
This was also decided by Jia Cong and the two of them before leaving.
Jia Lian is very good at mundane things and miscellaneous things. Xue Pan has been in business for many years and has a lot of experience, and the Xue family also runs a grain business, has its own grain shop, and is no stranger to the grain business.
With these two people leading the team, Jia Cong was also a lot more relieved.
The two rode on horseback and slowly followed the procession.
Jia Lian said, "Brother Xue, how much food have you prepared this time?"
Xue Pan said: "It's not much, it's only 100,000 stones, it's not as good as Brother Cong, the time is too rushed, it's too late to prepare more." This trip to try the water first, if it is really as Brother Cong said, you can make a lot of money, and you will get more on the next trip. Second Brother Lian, how much have you prepared?"
Jia Lian smiled bitterly: "It's not as good as you and Brother Cong, I only scraped together 50,000 stones, and I can't buy more near the capital, this is still Brother Cong who helped me scrape together 20,000 stones, otherwise it will be even less."
Xue Pan said with a smile: "That is, Brother Cong notified us in advance, Second Brother Lian, you started early, otherwise you won't even be able to make up these." If you look at other people, it's good to have 20,000 stones, but most people only have a few thousand stones. During this period of time, grain prices in the capital have risen by 20 percent."
Jia Lian said: "This is true, you can't buy it in the capital next time, even if you buy it, you can't buy much, the imperial court is estimated to control it, or Brother Cong is far-sighted, saved a large amount of grain in advance, and even sent a fleet to buy grain overseas."
Xue Pan said curiously, "I remember that Brother Cong told us before, let's save more food in case of emergency. Could it be that at that time, Brother Cong was even today's thing?"
Jia Lian frowned and said, "No, Brother Cong is not an immortal, how can he be an unknown prophet, you think too much." I don't know how much I can earn on this trip, I don't have any bottom in my heart."
Xue Pan smiled and said: "Second Brother Lian, don't worry, Brother Cong's business, there are non-profitable ones, every kind of business, it is a lot of money, I haven't seen him do loss-making transactions over the years, and we have made a lot of money with him."
Jia Lian nodded and said, "This is true, Brother Cong's ability to do business, I, as an elder brother, also admire it very much."
Xue Pan laughed and said, "There are still ten days to go, and I have some expectations now."
Jia Lian said: "Don't worry, we have to wait for Brother Cong to lay down a piece of land before we can implement the plan. It's getting dark, so let's set up camp and rest."
"Well, just listen to Second Brother Lian."
······
Shaanxi, under the city of Yulin.
Nearly 100,000 imperial court troops blocked the water surrounding Yulin City.
Through the interrogation of the prisoners, it was learned that there were only 10,000 horses left in Yulin City, and a general named Wang Yan was responsible for guarding the city.
After the army repaired for three days, it pulled out the camp and set up the village, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yulin.
Wang Yan, the defender of Yulin, never thought that the main force of the army on his side would be wiped out, so there was no defense at all.
By the time the news was obtained, the army of the imperial court had already appeared in the field of vision like a tide, and quickly surrounded Yulin City, even if it wanted to break through and escape, there was no chance.
can only be trapped in Yulin City.
"Rebels in the city, listen, you've been packed
If you resist stubbornly, once you break through the city, it will be too late to survive, you can think clearly."
"I can also tell you a piece of news, your leader Li Chuang, the main force of the rebel army led by us, has been defeated by us, and the whole army has been wiped out, and even the bandit leader Li Chuang has been shown to the public, and the head has been sent to the capital."
"You are only 10,000 horses, but you are not the opponent of our 100,000 army, whether you live or die, please make a choice as soon as possible, tomorrow morning, the army will attack the city, if it is stubborn, then don't blame us for being polite."
Jia Cong arranged some sharp-tongued people to take turns shouting and persuading them to surrender under the city.
It is much better to be able to surrender the soldiers without a fight, and to take Yulin without bloodshed, than to fight to the death and lose the soldiers.
As long as the goal is achieved, as for the process, it doesn't matter at all.
Give them a salute first and then the soldiers, if they don't know how to lift, then they can only forcibly attack the city.
There are more than 10,000 people in Yulin, Jia Cong has not yet taken it into account, and he really wants to attack the city with all his might, and he can take it in one day.
In the Yulin Mansion, Wang Yan sat on the main seat, looking worried.
There were more than a dozen rebel generals sitting below, also in a worried mood, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.
In the entire palace, there was silence, there was no movement at all, and it could be described as a smell of fallen leaves.
Wang Yan never thought that the eldest brother Li Chuang, who he followed, would be defeated and killed, and the army of more than 100,000 would be wiped out, which is simply too hard to believe.
How is this possible, when did the soldiers and horses of the imperial court become really powerful, shouldn't this be?
That's an army of 100,000, of which the elite accounts for more than half, and the officers and soldiers fled in the past, but now they have been wiped out by the officers and soldiers, which makes him a little unacceptable.
Wang Yan sighed and said, "Brothers, everyone has seen the situation in Yulin now, the 100,000 army is besieging the city, and we can't hold it at all. If you have any good opinions, please put them forward, and we will discuss a feasible way together."
The generals below looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
The news of the defeat of the main army really shocked them, and they couldn't help but believe the situation in front of them.
One of the generals said: "What is there to think about, we can't escape, and there are no reinforcements to save us, either fight to the death or raise your hands and surrender, there is no third way to go, everyone just choose."
"Do you mean you want to surrender, it's not impossible to consider."
"We have killed so many officers and soldiers, even if we surrender, it is estimated that they will not spare us, for this reason, we can only have a chance of survival if we fight to the death."
"Don't think about life, once the war starts, it will be difficult for us to escape, and now that our soldiers and horses are demoralized, it would be good to be able to withstand an attack, this is a bad idea."
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
In the middle of the camp.
Jia Cong sat in the tent, looking at the generals below, scrambling to fight, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Through the last big victory, the morale and courage of the soldiers were all raised, and they almost reached the peak.
For Jia Cong, the handsome, he sincerely admires it, easily arranges, and breaks the main force of the rebels.
It can be described as: in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.
"Dashuai, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, personally lead the troops to attack the city, and will definitely help Dashuai take Yulin."
Guo Dazhi, the commander of the Yangwei battalion, looked at Jia Cong with a look of hope.
"The last general is also willing to be the vanguard, the first to lead the troops to attack the city, take Yulin to quell the rebellion, and ask the marshal for permission."
Zhong Anyi, the commander of the Zhenwu battalion, also stood up and asked for his life.
The other generals also came out to ask for battle, thinking of getting more military achievements.
Jia Cong slapped the table hard, and shouted angrily, "Quiet, noisy, what kind of system. Repair today, fight again tomorrow, and go down and get ready."
"Yes, the last will obey."
Seeing that Jia Cong had made up his mind, the generals had no choice but to bow down and retreat.
Li Biao said, "Dashuai, do we really want to recruit the rebels in the city? Will the court really let them go?"
Jia Cong said: "It is naturally the best to be able to take Yulin without blood, I don't have many prejudices against these people, and it is difficult to say that those who are gentlemen in the court, and I can't guarantee it."
Our task is to quell the rebellion in Shaanxi, whether it is to surrender or to exterminate it, it is just a means, as long as we can complete the task assigned to us by His Majesty, it is enough.
Li Biao, wait until the evening when you lead people to put the explosives bags under the city wall, and all of them are placed, if these people do not surrender today, then wait until dawn tomorrow, immediately detonate the explosives bags, blow up the city wall, and bring troops into the city."
"Subordinates obey."
