Jia Rong and Jia Qiang led the remaining more than 30 bandits to escape from Rongguo Mansion from the East Corner Gate.

In order to protect Jia's mother's safety, Lin Daiyu did not continue to chase.

The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, Suzaku led more than 800 of his men to chase out of the East Corner Gate, but ran into another group of bandits.

This group of bandits and thieves is huge, crowded, as vast as a sea of smoke, shoulder to shoulder, densely packed, blocking Ningrong Street.

As far as the eye can see, it is endless, like a swarm of locusts pressing the realm, and there seem to be tens of thousands of people.

Although they have a variety of weapons in their hands, including wooden sticks, kitchen knives, wood knives, bamboo guns, hoes, dung forks, etc., they seem to be a group of rabble.

But they are all a group of displaced people who have no way to live, and if they don't work hard, they can only starve to death and freeze to death.

Therefore, their fighting style is extremely fierce, and the more than 800 brocade guards led by Suzaku are all eating imperial food and receiving money, who is willing to work hard?

As a result, after the conflict with these vicious homeless people, they were beaten one-sidedly, defeated and embarrassed.

Suzaku is strong in martial arts, but the good tiger can't stand a group of wolves, so he can only lead his subordinates to resist while retreating to the Rongguo Mansion.

The bandits took the opportunity to storm the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The two of them led their subordinates to escort Aunt Xue and Xue Baoqi around the back street of Ning Rong to hide, and after sunset, they slipped back to Ning Guo's mansion at night.

……

On the other side, Jia Yu ordered Jia Lian to call Mrs. Xing over.

Jia Yu asked sharply, "Did you reveal the whereabouts of the treasure?" ”

Mrs. Xing's face changed, and Ai Ai said:

"I didn't, sir, I've always been strict-mouthed, how can I say it?"

Jia Yu snorted coldly and said: "It's hard to say, you have always been too talkative, you can't tell the severity, and you don't speak through your brains." ”

Mrs. Xing repeatedly cried out for being wronged.

Jia Yu was bored, and there was no evidence, so he had to wave his hand impatiently and drive her out.

In fact, this treasure has been secretly transferred out of Jinling City by Jia Chen, handed over to Liu Xianglian, Bao Yong and Wang Lang, and led the brothers of the dart bureau to escort back to Shenjing City.

But what Jia Chen didn't know was that now Shenjing City was making trouble, and Liu Xianglian and they were staking so much silver back to Shenjing, which was tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger.

I don't know that at this moment, tens of thousands of bandits have already invaded the Rongguo Mansion and are fighting with the Jinyi Guard and the Rongfu Courtyard Gate.

……

At the same time, on the snowy Shanhaiguan.

Wen Tiren, the main supervisor of the army, asked Jia Yuanchun why he didn't go out to attack the Jin army?

Wen Tiren, as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, does not understand the art of war at all.

He saw that the Jin army had not attacked Shanhaiguan for several days, and thought that the Jin army was not working.

As the main supervising army, Wen Tiren wanted to win a battle, made great achievements, and won the reward of Emperor Chongrui.

Although Wen Tiren is already a member of the second grade, he has not yet entered the cabinet, and he is not the top minister.

Wen Tiren really wants to go one step further and become a pavilion elder.

Faced with Wen Tiren's questioning, Jia Yuanchun explained:

"Lord Qiyu Wen, the Jin army is good at cavalry archery, we should stick to the pass and avoid field battles with the Jin army."

Wen Tiren reprimanded:

"You're scared! If you don't go to war again, I will punish your majesty for your sins!" ”…

Jia Yuanchun argued a few more words, but Wen Tiren was so happy that he wanted to make military merits, and still forced Jia Yuanchun to go out of the customs to attack the Jin army camp.

Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to obey orders.

Since the defeat of Salhu, the Great Zhou lost its troops, and the elite of the nine-sided towns were lost, and most of the current defenders were new soldiers, and they did not have much experience in fighting the enemy.

If it hits hard, it must be an egg hitting a stone.

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun read "The Art of War".

She summoned Feng Ziying and Qi Jiguang's generals to secretly plan the battle.

Because she is a woman, Qi Jiguang's generals despise her a little.

Feng Ziying has always looked at Jia Chen's face and defended Jia Yuanchun, but deep in her heart, she is not optimistic about this female general.

Feng Ziying's face was puzzled:

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, and if we attack head-on, we will inevitably lose the enemy, not only will we lose miserably, but I am afraid that even Shanhaiguan will be lost."

Qi Jiguang's subordinate Lou Nan said:

"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, we must surprise our soldiers to defeat the enemy."

The rest of the generals Wang Rulong, Chen Daguang, Hu Shouren and Chen Ziluan all echoed it.

Jia Yuanchun stared at the military map hanging on the wall for a long time, and said:

"Soldiers are treacherous, tomorrow, we can send a team of soldiers and horses out of the pass, ambush on the slopes of the west of the Guanxi, and then send another army of soldiers and horses to ambush in the valley of the east of the Kanto, and then send a cavalry to challenge in front of the Jin army camp."

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, and she laughed loudly: "This plan is very good! ”

Lou Nan, Wang Rulong, Chen Daguang, Hu Shouren and Chen Ziluan have all read the Art of War, and before Jia Yuanchun finished speaking, they knew what it meant, and they praised it one after another, putting away their contempt for Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun said:

"At present, the Jin army has 20,000 cavalry, and we have 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.

Lou Nan said: "The last general is willing to lead 3,000 cavalry to the Jin army camp to lure the enemy. ”

Jia Yuanchun said: "Three thousand people are too few, and the Jin army is likely to suspect that it is a trick to lure the enemy." I will give you six thousand cavalry. After the Jin army is out of the village, you engage the other party, pretend to be defeated, and lead the Jin army to the front of the pass. ”

"The last general obeys!" Lou Nan bowed his hand.

Jia Yuanchun continued to order: "Wang Rulong, you lead a thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to ambush on the slopes of Guanxi. ”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Rulong agreed in unison.

Jia Yuanchun continued:

"Chen Ziluan, you led two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to ambush in the valley of the eastern part of the country."

Chen Ziluan also clenched his fists and took his life.

Jia Yuanchun said:

"Feng Ziying, you lead two thousand infantry to defend the city and be responsible for each battery."

When the Jin army arrived at the pass, Feng Ziying ordered the gunners to open artillery to bombard the Jin army, and then General Lou Nan led six thousand cavalry to turn around and attack the Jin army.

I led Chen Daguang and Hu Shouren, two generals, with 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry, to go out of the pass for 20 miles overnight to ambush, go around the back of the Jin army, prevent the Jin army from escaping, and be sure to annihilate the Jin army in one battle! ”

Feng Ziying persuaded: "Jia Jianjun's jade body is expensive, don't risk yourself." ”

He actually wanted to say, you are a woman, and you don't know martial arts, so don't risk yourself.

But Jia Yuanchun is the main general, and as a deputy general, he didn't dare to say it clearly, so he had to remind him euphemistically.

Jia Yuanchun said:

"The morale of our army is low, even if an ambush is set up, it may not be the opponent of the Jin army, as the main general, if I hide in the pass, I am afraid that the soldiers will not use their lives. Only by risking one's own life can morale be boosted.

In this battle, we can only win, not lose, otherwise, Shanhaiguan will definitely be lost, and even if you and I are lucky enough to escape, we will not be able to escape the sanctions of military law! ”

In fact, Jia Yuanchun's heart is really bottomless, the combat power of the Zhou army and the Jin army is very different, even if they use twice or even three times the number of troops, they may not be the opponents of the Jin army.

And there are only 30,000 people on his side, but it is extremely difficult to encircle and annihilate 20,000 Eight Banner Iron Cavalry.
