Chapter 16: Out of the Mountain, Heading North!
It took Jia Hui another three days to get out of the Karakoram Mountains and reach her southern foothills.
At the same time, a new problem arose before their eyes.
"Shall we continue south on the mountain road, or will we go north to the plains and fight all the way east to Luo?"
It was another night, and the commanders of all the troops gathered in Jia Hui's big tent.
"General, I don't think we can take the mountain road anymore, it's almost late October, and it's winter on the plateau, to put it mildly, if we're not careful, we may freeze to death in the mountains." Shi Yuanxiu, as the team's deputy, was the first to speak.
"But what if someone sees someone going north? But if you get away and go back to report the news, so that they are prepared, you and my brother will be finished. Liu Yu was a little worried.
"What if it snows again? It's not always good luck to find shelter from the wind! Liu Li also disagreed with continuing to drill the cave.
While everyone was arguing, Jia Hui looked at the suggestion map drawn by Chagan Bari and Asr, but his mind turned on his real-time map.
It's still useful.
Recalling the route he had seen of the Dzungar Khan's great strategy to attack Lazang Khan, Jia Hui made up his mind.
"Silence!" Jia Hui's deep voice reached everyone's ears, and they also knew that the Lord had made a decision.
"I decided to go north to the plains, all the way to the east, and run thousands of miles to Luo!"
Shi Yuanxiu and others should be.
"Of course, for the sake of safety, from tomorrow, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, the whole army will go out day and night. Okay, I'll go and prepare. ”
The commanders of the various departments also left Jia Hui's camp and rushed back to the stations of their respective troops.
There was finally silence in the tent.
Jia Hui lay down in the sleeping bag and began to reflect on herself after a long absence.
I really didn't have the heart to think in the mountains before, and I rushed with all my mind, but now the most difficult road has been completed, and the rest is desperate.
I'm still too idealistic, I believe in my plug-in too much, this thing is really good in the Western Regions, but when you enter a place with shelter, the practicality is not so strong. Thanks to a guide who knows the route well, if you still rampage with a plug-in like you are in the Western Regions, it will be over.
In the future, there must be a guide!
The scene of Asr firmly looking at himself came to mind again, and Jia Hui got out of his sleeping bag and walked to the folding table, and his thoughts flowed.
I'm going to make this surprise attack a play!
As for sleeping, what to sleep, anyway, it's tomorrow night, and it's not too late to stay up until dawn and then sleep.
。。。。。。
Night falls.
Jia Hui is doing the final checkup. Since you have to go out at night, you have to pay attention to the things you don't care about during the day.
Although he has eaten as much meat as possible for his subordinates, and he can see things clearly at night, there is another problem that cannot be ignored.
Straggling.
During the day, if you accidentally fall down, or the cattle and horses are uncomfortable carrying materials and need to tidy up, this is allowed to withdraw from the team to tidy up, as long as you catch up with the broken water in time, but at night the black light is blind, and it is secretly infiltrated, and the torches are not daring to light, so that the probability of catching up with the team is greatly reduced. It's easy to get lost.
Jia Hui took out the string that had been prepared a long time ago.
Before going to the plateau, Jia Hui prepared a large number of strings.
Everyone tied ropes tightly around their arms, and the soldiers had no objections, just like the main general Jia Hui said, listen to people's persuasion and eat well.
Especially this kind of thing that is related to the life of the family.
Jia Hui prepares to try it out for one night.
I really can't find another way.
Asr and Chagan Bari led the way and followed Jia Hui to take the lead.
The whole army was tied together, and they were a little uncomfortable at first, but after walking for a while, these martial arts killers also figured out the rules and walked more and more steadily.
As for the team that fell behind, the tripping ones were directly pulled up by the teammates in front and behind with the ropes, and as for the materials carried by the cows and horses, it was probably because it took longer to sort out today, and there was no re-arrangement for the time being.
There was a night of walking without danger, and the Heshute outpost that was found was also destroyed by the night of climbing up the mountain.
According to Asr, there are enough materials in the sentry, and it looks like it has just been changed, and it is estimated that the next change of guard will be about half a month later.
Another piece of good news.
The surprise attack is about a surprise, and the later it is discovered, the better.
Therefore, at worst, it is estimated that there are still ten days left for Jia Hui at most.
Ten days later, they will face the interception and killing of the remaining troops of Heshuot.
It is necessary to rush to the plains as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too much of a loss to fight in the mountains, and the mountain battles are not at all familiar with the Shuote and Tubo people.
The night went by.
Before dawn, all the nights were back.
The farthest reaches are ten miles away, and the sentry posts within ten miles have been resolved.
Jia Hui found a col and set up camp to rest.
The method of tying it up works well, so let's do it for the time being.
Jia just believes that there is a better way, but there is no time to try other methods, as long as the vast majority of people can successfully get out of the mountains and reach the plains, then don't change it.
After briefly recording today's march log under the rising sun, Jia Hui got into his sleeping bag and began to rest.
Jia Hui's nerves were tense all night, for fear that something would go wrong.
To be reasonable, it was the first time for me to walk at night in the mountains.
Starting from Dihua, along the way, the lives of the remaining soldiers in their early 7,000s were all pressed on Jia Hui's shoulders, and there was no room for sloppiness.
It's been a lot of growth.
。。。。。。
East Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.
Mrs. Xing is discussing Jia Lian's marriage with Jia Yu.
"Master, now that Lian'er is also older, she is ready to get married, and I see that Sister Feng of the Wang family is the best girl, the eldest lady of the Wang family, and the old relatives who know the roots.
The most important thing is that her early death Lao Tzu has the fame of lifting a son, and she can be regarded as a civil minister, and it is just right for her to match civil and military.
The concubine really thinks that Sister Feng and our family are a good match! Mrs. Xing pinched the eldest man's shoulders and put forward her own ideas.
The big man disdainful.
"A good match? I think you're dazzled by Sister Feng'er's dowry, right? ”
Is it true that he Jia Yu has no eyeliner in Rongxi Hall?
Rong Xitang is a maid and his father who serves the old lady closely, and he is his long-term follower. As soon as Rong Xitang had something, he quickly knew.
As the real owner of Rongguo Mansion, he has not fallen to the same level as in the original book.
Mrs. Tai's dowry and the private house of Jia Yuan, the loyal and martial prince of Rongguo, are all in his hands.
Don't have too much fun living.
Mrs. Xing was a little anxious when she heard this.
"What is the old man talking about, God is pitiful, although the concubine is just a continuation, but the concubine has been married for several years, although it is not painstaking, but it is also carefully taught Lian'er, right?
The identity of the stepmother of the concubine is placed here, if she is too close, she will be said to be harboring evil intentions, and if she is too far away, she will be said to be abusing her sister-in-law, how has the concubine treated Lian'er over the years, master, you also know in your heart, how could I give Lian'er's marriage for that bit of silver? The concubine really thinks that Sister Feng and Lian'er are a good match! ”
"Hey, that's exactly what you said?" Jia Yu looked at Mrs. Xing playfully.
Mrs. Xing had a bad premonition, but the atmosphere was all set here.
"Yes, the concubine is not greedy for Sister Feng'er's dowry of a few taels of silver!"
Jia Yu opened his mouth, as if mockingly.
"That Cheng is the daughter of the Wang family anyway, she knows the roots, and she is barely worthy of Lian'er, so she will be."
Mrs. Xing was about to burst out laughing.
"I see that you have been working very hard during this time, running to Rongxi Hall all day long, so in this case, after Sister Feng marries in, she will be in charge of the big house."
As soon as the words fell, Jia Yu stood up and went out without giving Mrs. Xing a chance to speak.
Mrs. Xing really wanted to go back to the past and pouted that hard-mouthed self.
I have been married into Rongguo Mansion for less than three years, and the foundation cannot be said to be deep-rooted, but it can also be called crumbling.
In hand, Wang Shanbao's family can be used with confidence, and whether he can manage the house depends on Jia Yu's mouth.
Now it's okay, the housekeeping power is gone, and there is no excuse to cry to the daughter-in-law and ask for some silver.
However, Mrs. Xing still adjusted her state.
Anyway, let's put the golden plow first... Ah no, let's talk about the daughter-in-law when I enter the door, I can't run after entering the door left and right, and the coming day will be long.
。。。。。
Jia Yu wandered around the mansion aimlessly.
Seeing the withered yellow fallen leaves in the yard, sigh the passage of time.
It was as if Zhang died of illness yesterday, and she was crying unconscious in front of her bed.
Today, the Zhang family and his only bloodline are also going to talk about marriage.
Jia Yu knew that it was wrong to blame Jia Lian for his wife's death, but in this way he could have an object to vent to alleviate his pain of bereavement.
The eldest son Jia Hui can only get the title for the rest of his life, and the eldest son dies early, and the blessing is thin, and the youngest son Jia Cong can't cross Jia Lian to attack the knight.
So, the titles are all left to you, what's wrong with being wronged?
How many people want to endure it, but there is no way!
Speaking of children.
I also have four boys and one girl.
The eldest son Jia Hui fought for the country, because he was his first descendant, and he was very promising, he gave himself a lot of face, so in addition to the former eldest son, he was the favorite of him.
It's a pity that the eldest son Jia Hu died young, and the second son Jia Lian seems to have nothing to do in this life, and inheriting the title is the best way out for him.
As for Jia Cong, the second son, he is too young to see anything.
The only daughter is soft and weak, and with his eldest brother to watch, she will live well in this life.
A person who fails like himself is also a child and daughter.
Jia Yu laughed to himself.
That coup changed the fate of too many people.
Many of the brothers who grew up together in the East Palace either died or went their separate ways.
The only ones who can get together often are those who escaped from the battle, and they are also like the party, and their future is ruined.
can only be an old gentleman at home, slowly fading the ambitions of the past.
There were more and more fallen leaves on the road, and Jia Yu was shocked and raised his head to look at the courtyard in front of him.
Rika-in.
The place where his father was raised was also the place where he teased his grandson to enjoy the joy of family.
Jia Yuming opened the courtyard door left and right.
Since the death of his father Jia Daishan, he has ordered this place to be sealed.
So except for the fallen leaves everywhere and the dust in the room, it was exactly the same as the last time I came.
Under the old willow tree on one side of the main hall, there is also a set of stone locks placed at random, and on the other side there is a half set of weapon racks, and only a few weapons are placed.
Knives, spears, axes, whips, maces, clubs, lances, maces, and a pair of short spears.
Jia Yu looked at it.
They are all smaller weapons.
The stone locks and weapons on both sides are special tools that the old father used for his eldest son to practice martial arts. The old father was raised by Shi Rong, and one of the great pleasures was to watch his eldest grandson practice martial arts.
Jia Yu himself has no talent for martial arts, a Yanling knife and a spear consumed all his energy, and even the spear only learned a trick, and the only thing that can be played is the knife.
The father turned around and began to train the next generation.
Jia Yu picked up the knife placed on the weapon rack, which was one size smaller than the standard long knife, but heavier than the standard and rusty.
This is for Brother Hun to practice his strength, and he has never opened the blade.
Jia Yu suddenly became interested and played, but because the sleeves were too big, he almost injured himself.
Shaking his head and putting down the knife, memories flooded back his mind.
I also want to show my hand in front of my son and enjoy the adoring gaze of my son.
It's a pity that something went wrong, he didn't play the knife well, the old father angrily picked up the wolf's tooth lance and was about to beat himself, the eldest Jia Hui hugged the old lady's waist and let himself run quickly, but he smiled happily than anyone else.
The old man's face was full of nostalgia and happiness.
"Sir, the old lady is looking for you." A voice behind him interrupted his thoughts.
"Got it, let's go."
Alas, Hun'er, Daddy misses me so much.
