Chapter 661: Ambush, interception

Hearing Li Biao's words, Jia Cong couldn't help but be stunned.

These people came really fast, and they already knew about it as soon as they came back.

It seems that they have been sending people to keep an eye on their whereabouts.

In fact, when Tiezhu told himself, he had already considered how to deal with it.

I just didn't expect that these people would come so quickly.

"Go tell them to come in, these things always have to be solved, and you can't hide from them."

Jia Cong also stood up as he spoke.

"Yes, my subordinates will go and call them in."

Li Biao agreed, turned around and left.

Shi Nai, Xie Qiong and the others glanced at each other and looked at Jia Cong.

"Dashuai, why don't we avoid it first?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You don't have anything to look at, what are you going to avoid? Let's stay together and hear what they have to say."

Hearing Jia Cong say this, a few people could only stay.

They were a little afraid that these people would trouble them, after all, they had been hiding from them for months.

If you run into it directly today, you won't have a good face.

At this time, Li Biao walked in with five or six officials.

Seeing this, Jia Cong also hurriedly took a few steps forward.

"Welcome to your lordship, you are really well-informed, Ben Shuai has just come back, and before he can catch his breath, you have come to the door, please take a seat."

"Lord, you are really a busy man, the lower official has been in Liaodong for two months, and he has not seen the face of the prince, and those of your subordinates cannot be found, and the injured official can't complete the order of the imperial court, and he has never had the face to go back, does the prince want to give the lower official an explanation?"

Jia Cong looked at it, this person was middle-aged, of medium stature, wearing an official uniform, and there was a resentment on his face.

This person Jia Cong also knows, named Jiang Xuezhong, is an official of the Ministry of Rites.

Speaking of which, he is still a colleague of his father-in-law Lin Ruhai.

Jia Cong arched his hand: "It turned out to be Lord Jiang, you can't blame me for this, I patrolled all over Liaodong this time, and then went to the grassland to do a business, this time it was four months, and I didn't know that Lord Jiang was coming."

"Hmph, even if the prince is not there, your subordinates will not be there, right, what is the reason for hiding from the official all the time? Shi Hou, this official has been looking for you for two months, and he has not been able to find you, but you can tell me yourself, what is the reason?"

Shi Nai smiled awkwardly: "Lord Jiang, when the prince left, he gave me a death order, and I couldn't complete the task of military law, I have been running all over the mountains these days, going to inspect and supervise everywhere, and I just came back."

Jia Cong laughed secretly in his heart, Jiang Xuezhong, this old man, no matter how he said it, he could be regarded as a minister.

I've been waiting for more than two months, and I can't find a person in charge, I can't do my errand, and it's strange if I don't have grievances.

Shi Nai and them, probably didn't want to be left behind and disobeyed the orders of the imperial court, so they avoided them.

Otherwise, it will be passed back to the imperial court, and there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat in the future.

Unless he is completely tied to Jia Cong in the future, he will even take his family to live in this wild place.

People like Shi Nai, they are all people with some status in the Central Plains, and their family backgrounds are good, and they are unwilling to leave the Central Plains unless they have to.

After all, the environment and climate in Liaodong are too harsh and cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Jia Cong can only try his best to change the living environment of Liaodong, and there is really nothing he can do about the climate.

Jia Cong laughed: "Lord Jiang is angry, now that Ben Shuai is back, just tell Ben Shuai if you have something." Li Biao, inform Manager Dai, arrange a banquet, tonight, this handsome will give you the wind and dust."

"Yes, Dashuai, my subordinates will arrange it."

Li Biao came to the door, gave an order to the soldiers outside, and returned to Jia Cong's side.

Qingwen and the others are not there, and Li Biao will faithfully perform the duties of the guard.

Jiang Xuezhongdao:

"Lord Wang, the court has an order to order you to stop the military camp and let the army return to the barracks, the prince won't want to disobey the order, right?"

Jia Cong glanced at a few people and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang, if you say that, Ben Shuai will sue you for slander. Since it is an order of the imperial court, Ben Shuai naturally obeys it, but I don't understand a little, Juntun is obviously a good thing, why do you people stop it?"

"Lord, the lower officials don't hide it from you, your behavior is suspected of buying the hearts of the military, many court ministers have written to impeach you, and the lower officials are also acting on orders, and please don't embarrass the lower officials."

Jia Cong sighed and said, "This is really wronging me, my court soldiers, defending the country, guarding the frontier, throwing their heads, spilling blood, bathing in blood, shrouding the body of horse leather, never retreating. However, many soldiers can't even afford to support their families.

As the commander of the first army, this commander seeks some benefits for his soldiers and soldiers, improves their living standards, and allows them to have no worries about the future and fight bravely to kill the enemy, isn't this too much?"

"Lord Wang, the lower official is a herald, but he can't control these things, and please don't embarrass the lower official."

Jiang Xuezhong didn't want to get involved in these matters, he just wanted to complete the task quickly and return to the capital.

Jia Cong did not embarrass him and took over the documents of the imperial court.

At this time, another person stood up and said, "Lord Wang, there is an order from the military department, the war on the Liaodong side is over, and you can leave 100,000 troops to guard Liaodong, and order the prince to lead the remaining men and horses to return to the court."

Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, and actually let his class teacher return to the court?

This is the real bottom of the kettle, everyone is gone, no one is clearing, and the affairs of the military tun will naturally stop.

Also, I went back to the capital by myself, and then I wanted to go back to Liaodong, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult.

Damn, I just moved my family to Liaodong, can't I move back again?

Jia Cong looked at this person, it was Gao Baoxing, an official of the Ministry of War.

"Lord Gao, Ben Shuai is gone, who will command the defenders of Liaodong?"

Gao Baoxing arched his hand and said, "Lord Wang, the meaning of the Ministry of War is to let Shi Hou continue to stay in Liaoyang, I believe that the Lord should also rest assured."

"Lord Gao, the army has withdrawn, isn't the court worried about the barbarians coming back?"

"Lord Wang, this is the meaning of the imperial court, and the lower officials are only here to pass orders."

"I know, this marshal will follow the orders of the imperial court and return to the court. Shi Hou, inform the generals of the military branches, and the big tent will be discussed in three days."

Shi Nai arched his hand: "Yes, the last general will obey."

At this time, Jia Cong could only obey orders.

······

Go back to the inner courtyard of the palace and tell everyone about it.

The women also had different expressions, and they all wanted to go back with Jia Cong.

Xue Baochai asked, "Lord Wang, can you come back again when you return to the court this time?"

Jia Cong hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure, I should be able to come back, after all, this Liaodong is our territory, can we not let the master come back to take a look?"

"Lord Wang, if you don't come back, it doesn't make sense for us and the children to stay here, why don't we go back with you."

Jia Cong shook his head: "I am traveling with the army this time, it is inconvenient for you to follow, stay in Liaodong for the time being, you know, this Liaodong is our family's territory, I will leave a hundred personal soldiers to protect the palace, Chunlan and Xia Zhu, and the two of you will also stay and be responsible for commanding a hundred personal soldiers."

"Yes, we know."

Chunlan and Xia Zhu hurriedly agreed.

Lin Daiyu said with some worry, "Lord Wang, will it be dangerous for you to go back this time?"

Jia Cong thought for a while: "It shouldn't be, after all, I just defeated the barbarians, deal with me at this time, who will dare to work for the court in the future, let me go back this time, I should want to take back the military power, I won't be in danger."

After I leave, the military power in Liaodong is under the control of Shi Nai, he should not be unfavorable to you, but don't trust outsiders easily, if there is anything, you don't have to come forward easily, remember to contact me in time."

This time, Jia Cong didn't bring anyone, only a hundred personal soldiers, and took them with him

of the guards.

Three days later, Jia Cong held a high-level meeting in the barracks.

After reading the order of the imperial court, 100,000 horses were left to guard Liaodong.

The rest of the soldiers and horses went back to pack up and prepare to return to the court on a certain day.

Jia Cong did not break his promise, and assigned all the farmland reclaimed to their names and prepared land deeds for them.

At the same time, more than 40,000 soldiers who were willing to stay in Liaodong and settle down were also demobilized on the spot, relieved of their military posts, and stayed in Liaodong.

After handling everything properly, after the Mid-Autumn Festival in Liaodong, Jia Cong led the army and returned to the court.

Soon after the army entered Shanhaiguan, a eunuch with a team of forbidden troops came to announce the decree.

Let Jia Cong break away from the army and return to the capital as soon as possible.

Jia Cong wondered a little in his heart, why was he in such a hurry to let himself go back?

I took the decree and looked at it, and it was indeed true.

He asked Xie Qiong to continue to advance with the army, and he only took Li Biao, Qingwen, Qiu Ju, Dongmei, and his own 100 personal soldiers, thought about it and transferred 500 cavalry, and went straight to the capital on horseback.

When Jia Cong and his party ran more than fifty miles and passed by a valley.

Suddenly, there was a burst of breaking sounds, and a rain of arrows shot from the sky.

"It's not good, there is an ambush, protect the marshal."

Li Biao shouted loudly and raised his shield to block in front of Jia Cong.

A hundred pro-soldiers, hearing the order, raised their shields in unison, and erected shield walls around Jia Cong, blocking the arrows that came from them, without any panic.

The five hundred cavalry, not good.

When I was suddenly attacked, I was a little panicked.

Hearing Li Biao's order, he was also a little at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Just dodged in panic, the arrows that came from them.

Only most of the people quickly approached Jia Cong and protected the periphery of the pro-soldiers.

Qingwen was furious: "These bastards, let Dashuai return to Beijing alone, it turned out that the purpose was to kill Dashuai, it's really too much, Dashuai, what should we do now?"

Jia Cong didn't panic too much, but was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect that someone would ambush him here.

It seems that he has done a good job a long time ago and deliberately aimed at himself.

No matter who instructs it, it has nothing to do with the palace.

If the decree is true, that is the emperor's intention, and if the decree is false, there must be people in the palace involved.

Jia Cong took a deep breath: "I don't know what ambush will be in front of me, first retreat back and get out of range."

The arrow rain in front was too dense, at least about 2,000, and when a round of arrow rain fell, many people were injured.

With Jia Cong's order, the team quickly retreated.

Just as Jia Cong was about to withdraw from the valley, there was a burst of shouts of killing.

"Kill, don't let the thieves escape."

"Roundabout······

Jia Cong reined in his horse and looked ahead.

I saw a dense crowd of masked people in front of me, brandishing long knives, rushing towards me.

Jia Cong roughly estimated that there were at least 5,000 people in this group.

This is really a big deal, knowing that his own soldiers are powerful, he actually arranged so many people.

Needless to say, there must be thousands of people in the valley.

Caught between two sides, at least tens of thousands of people, this is really wanting to die by yourself.

If it wasn't premeditated, Jia Cong didn't believe it at all.

"This group of bastards, damn it, Dashuai, let your subordinates take the lead in killing them before the people behind them come up now."

Li Biao looked at the enemy rushing in front of him, and held the steel knife in his hand tightly.

Jia Cong nodded: "There is no good way now, only to break through, prepare for the earth-shaking thunder, bomb a wave first, everyone obeys the order, and kills with Ben Shuai."

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Kill."

······

Although the number of people is small, the momentum is not weak at all.

Jia Cong took the lead and rushed out first.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the enemy group, and his hand raised his sword, and a man's head flew up.

The war horse kept rushing forward quickly, and directly knocked out a person in front of him, screaming all the way and spurting blood all the way.

Li Biao, Qingwen, Qiu Ju, and Dongmei were on both sides of Jia Cong.

The long knife was waved, and one enemy after another fell under their sword, and there was no enemy under them.

The cavalry in the rear followed, and all of them were killed by the enemy group.

"Throw the earth-shattering thunder."

With a loud shout, more than 100 earth-shattering thunderbolts flew into the enemy group with a "whoosh".

This was followed by a series of explosions, booms, and screams.

"Kill it."

Jia Cong shouted, ignoring the enemies around him, and rushed out directly to kill.

The sudden explosion caused a great confusion among the enemy.

Jia Cong and others took advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and after dozens of breaths, they killed through the enemy formation and fought their way out of the encirclement.

"Roundabout······

Running out of Erli in one breath, Jia Cong strangled the war horse under his crotch.

Jia Cong looked back, and the original five hundred people seemed to be dozens less.

Looking at the enemy, who were looking to the rear, they had already begun to assemble.

"Marshal, let's leave first, return to the army first, and then let someone investigate this matter, and these people will definitely be found out."

Li Biao saw that the enemy was gathering and hurriedly persuaded him.

Qingwen also said: "Dashuai, let's leave first, your safety is the most important, so many people are ambushing here, it is not difficult to find them out, and when they join the army, none of them can escape."

Jia Cong is not a hot-headed person, the other party is deliberately ambushing himself, and he doesn't know what other vicious means there are in the future.

is still with the army to join the insurance, and he still has a group of wives and children waiting for him.

If something happens to them, their lives will be sad.

Thinking of this, he shouted, "Go, go back and join the army."
