Chapter 139: Who's Going?
"On June 11, the 41st year of the reign of God, the Wara Division attacked the grain road of the Imperial Forest Army and lost 10,000 stone ..... of rice."
"On June 17, Zhang Xiaoguang, the commander of the Xuanfu Army, led his army to ambush the Warabian division that came to attack the grain road, and captured the first 3,000 ......."
"On the 19th of June, the Warat division attacked the mouth of the killer and was repulsed by the reinforcements that arrived...."
Jia Jue stood on the bow of the ship and silently looked at the Shenjing City in the distance.
At this time, it was already June 25th, two months earlier than expected to return to Beijing, the journey was smooth, during which I received a report from the Ministry of War, which focused on the battle situation of the grassland, and was really said by Lin Ruhai, Zhu Houze, who was dragged down by the royal court, led the main army to disappear from the sight of the Ming army, and there was no trace of the Warat people in the direction of the forest.
Thinking of this, Jia Jue sighed deeply, these are the emperor's headaches, and he has no ability to change the situation, turned around and walked to the room.
"Zijuan, how long will it take to get to the capital?"
"It's here! Then turn a river bend and it will be the Yongding River. ”
In the cabin on the third floor, Zijuan was serving Daiyu to dress up, and happened to see Jia Jue come in, and said with a smile: "The third master is here." ”
"Why are you here?"
Daiyu sat in front of the mirror and carefully trimmed her eyebrows, "You go around first, and we'll talk later, ah!" ”
Qingwen saw it on the side and said with a smile: "The girl is coaxing the third master as a child!" ”
"You talk a lot!"
Jia Jue pulled a chair and sat down next to Daiyu, took a sip of tea brought by the snow geese, and said with a smile: "The snow geese are the most well-behaved in the room!" ”
Xue Yan's face was flushed with shame, and she turned around and ran to help Qingwen pack her things.
Looking at Daiyu who was putting on makeup, Jia Jue smiled unconsciously.
Daiyu blushed, put down her eyebrow pencil, and said angrily: "You have nothing to do, what are you doing staring at people?" ”
"Look at your makeup!"
Jia Jue took a sip of tea and said.
Daiyu saw that he was serious, but he didn't know what to say, so he said, "Have you thought about what to say when you go back?" ”
"What do you say?"
"Don't pretend to be a lake, it's just a gift for the second sister, you are not allowed to hit my gift idea!"
Jia Jue smiled, "Why are you so stingy, all my gold and silver are yours, what's wrong with helping me make a gift." ”
Reached out and brushed the hair that fell from her sideburns, arranged it behind her soft ears, and said, "Your marriage certificate has already added my name!" ”
2k
"Why are you like this!"
Daiyu put the eyebrow pencil still on the dresser angrily, pointed outside, and said angrily: "You go out, I'm going to change my clothes!" ”
Jia Jue knew that she had a thin face, and she was not good at making fun of her, so she picked up the eyebrow pencil and stuffed it to her, and said with a smile: "My sister is dressed beautifully, let's go home together to see our ancestors." ”
...........
Qianqing Palace, upper study.
Emperor Tianyou sat on the dragon chair in front of the imperial eucalyptus, put down the fold in his hand, pressed his somewhat sore brow, and sighed.
Since Wang Ziteng raided the Warat royal court, the situation in the grassland has changed a lot, not to mention the earth-shaking, but also let the Tianyou Emperor fall into a state of anxiety, without the drag of the royal court, Zhu Houze is to give full play to the advantages of the nomads, the Warat army in the vast prairie up and down like the wind, sent out sentinels can not touch their traces at all, or with a partial division to attack the Royal Forest Army grain road, or the main force at night to attack the camp, make everyone miserable, and now Shanxi also has traces of the Wara Division.
In the upper study, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
The people of Shenjing only knew that the imperial court had won several battles on the grassland, but they didn't know that the Ming army had fallen into a passive situation on the battlefield, unless the Imperial Forest Army could bite the main force of Warat at once, otherwise this battle could only drag on like this, as for the Tatar and Duoyan coalition forces, they saw the dilemma of the Ming Dynasty, and even used the early combat casualties as an excuse, not only the army rested, but also hoped that the imperial court would increase the support of armaments and food.
Hehe, this is taking the opportunity to extort!
A dark cloud floated across Emperor Tianyou's face, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "What can the military department do?" ”
Chen Ruiwen, the Duke of Qi, stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the military department has deduced several times according to the military reports sent, which is not good, mainly because the main force of Warat is erratic, and the marching speed of the Royal Forest Army is too slow, especially because it also carries a large number of artillery ....."
Liu Wenbin: "If I remember correctly, there should still be fifty or sixty thousand cavalry in the Royal Forest Army, can they go deep into the grassland to find the main force of Warat?" ”
"No way!"
Chen Ruiwen said directly: "The main task of these cavalry is to protect the flanks and rear of the army, and they cannot be withdrawn as a last resort. In addition, the Warats obtained a large number of weapons and armor from Wang Ziteng, coupled with their superb cavalry and archery, if they crashed headlong into the arms of the main force of Warat, it would be another fiasco! ”
Everyone was stunned.
At this time, Wen dialect spoke, "He Lin has Prince Tengbu, Tatar and Duoyan, and the Niu Ji Sect has arrived to the south of Hangai Mountain, if the guess is right, the main force of Wara must be around here, but it has not been found yet." ”
"Not bad!"
Chen Ruiwen nodded, "The Ministry of War has been looking for a possible hiding place for the main force of Warat, but the Tatars and Duoyan do not cooperate, and with our cavalry alone, it is easy for the Warats to seize the opportunity to break each other." ”
Emperor Tianyou frowned and asked, "Is it just so consumed!" ”
Liu Wenbin: "Don't they want the imperial court to support food and weapons?" ”
Prince Zhu Wucheng's face changed immediately, "This opening can't be opened, otherwise the disaster will be endless!" ”
The rest of the cabinet began to speak:
"A barbarian who was crippled by the Warats actually wanted to negotiate terms with us, so bold."
"Not bad! We can't let them take care of us. ”
Wen Fangyan coughed.
The crowd fell silent.
Chen Ruiwen: "If you want to break the game, it's not that there is no way, it's just ....."
Hope rose in Emperor Tianyou's heart again, "Just what? Old man, please speak, sit down and speak. ”
Chen Ruiwen sat down slowly, thought for a while, and said: "The Ministry of War guessed that Wara had migrated all the women and children into the Mobei grassland in advance, and all the people left by the royal court were the alliance headquarters of the Yellow Hat Department, so it was possible to make a partial division of cavalry run thousands of miles, go deep into the Mobei grassland, sweep the yellow hats hiding in the depths of the grassland, and force the main force of Warat to appear." ”
Emperor Tianyou's eyes lit up.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and they all whispered about it.
Yang Lin changed his previous caution, stood up, and said: "Since it is a thousand-mile attack, the number of people must not be too much, and it must also be elite cavalry, is it too dangerous, this requires too much for the comprehensive ability of the leading generals, and besides, such generals are handsome, we can't afford to gamble!" ”
Everyone looked at each other.
Liu Wenbin slowly stood up and said, "There is a suitable candidate, but it's just ....."
Without waiting for Liu Wenbin to finish speaking, Zhu Wucheng asked, "Who does the second assistant want to recommend, you might as well say it directly." ”
Hearing this, Liu Wenbin immediately replied: "Zhongwu Bo Jia Jue." ”
And the crowd murmured again.
Yang Lian's face was gloomy.
Ding Yuanzhu, Han Jun and the others also had a dark color on their faces.
Emperor Tianyou quietly watched everyone's reactions, turned his head and asked, "Jia Jue has entered Beijing?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty's words, news has just come that Zhongwubo's official ship has docked at Chaoyangmen Wharf."
Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward and replied in a low voice.
Emperor Tianyou moved slightly, and then said: "You will go later, tell Jia Jue, let him think carefully, this is not a holy decree, and let him come to the study tomorrow, I have something to say to him." ”
"Yes."
Dai Quan hurriedly responded.
