Chapter 42: The Expedition
Last night's dinner didn't end up late.
Before dawn, Jia Huluda and the others put on the armor again.
They were going to go out of the city at the moment of opening the city gate, and after taking their troops to Fengtianmen to be inspected by the two saints, they set out from Deshengmen.
Walking along the mezzanine to the hall in the front yard, I saw that the old lady and Jia Yu and others were already waiting in the hall.
The children of the family went out to fight, and the whole family, whether old or young, was going to send them off.
The old lady was wearing the big makeup of the national princess, and Mrs. Xing was also wearing the same first-grade makeup, only Mrs. Wang was a little shabby, but she was also wearing the five-grade pleasant makeup, standing there expressionlessly.
The old lady wears a gold ornament Zhai crown, a red python robe inside, a true red straight-necked large-sleeved coat outside, and a gold embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern embroidered with gold and phoenix, holding a tooth wat.
The old lady looked at Jia Hui who came in armor with a complicated expression, as if overlapping with the figures of his father-in-law and husband.
Unconsciously glanced at Jia Yu, only to see him holding on to the railing, yawning and rubbing his eyes, Jia's mother couldn't stop disgusting.
Four generations of grandparents and grandchildren are not good for you!
"Grandmother, grandson is going on a campaign." Jia Hui also saw that the family was already waiting here, so she hurriedly walked a few steps and helped Jia's mother.
Mother Jia looked at Jia Hui, who looked more and more like her husband between her eyebrows and eyes, and her spirit was a little trance.
If Baoyu's face shape and facial features are similar to Jia Daishan, then Jia Hui has eyebrows, eyes and temperament, the same firmness, the same heroism.
"Okay, good boy, mandarin duck, come, bring the turban." Jia Mu came back to her senses, put down the tooth wat in her hand, and caressed Jia Hui's face.
The mandarin duck brought a wooden plate, Jia Mu picked up the big red turban on the plate, Jia Hui saw this, and hurriedly lowered her head.
The hair bun that had been taken care of a long time ago, combed closer to the scalp and back was wrapped in a bright red headscarf, Jia Mu seriously tied the headscarf tightly, and carefully folded back the edges of the folded headscarf little by little.
"You have to take care of yourself." Mother Jia gently instructed Jia Hui, just as she impatiently instructed Jia Daishan more than ten years ago.
Jia Hui also answered one by one.
After speaking, Jia Mu turned her head to look at Ruda.
Observing his words and deeds yesterday, we knew that the bearded man in front of him was jealous and hateful, brave and scheming, and coarse and detailed, and it was no wonder that his grandson would have a heart-to-heart with him.
"General Lu, the old woman's grandson is stubborn, so I'll trouble you to bear with me."
Ruda, who was standing on the side, didn't expect that he had his own business, and hurriedly leaned over to answer.
"Where is the old lady, the younger generation and the Hui brothers are like-minded, and they must support each other."
Jia Mu praised again and again, and then turned sideways to look behind her.
"There is an old woman in the family, Brother Hun, don't fall into the Jia family, and your grandfather, the prestige of your ancestor!"
Jia Hui bowed solemnly.
"Yes, my grandson went."
Jia Hui turned around and left without looking back, Luda also followed Jia Hui's side, and the soldiers on the side also followed closely with their own pockets.
The brothers of the same generation leaned over to do the long bow, and the younger sisters all did all the blessings.
All the servants and maids bowed to the ground.
Out of the door, Lai Da had already prepared the horses, stepped on the upper horse stone and turned over the horse, and left without looking back.
γγγγγγ
They are all old soldiers, and the deputies of each battalion are already ready to go, and they are just about to come over with the chief generals who entered Beijing yesterday and were sealed.
Lin Chong and the three of them had already prepared Jia Hui's direct three thousand households, and at the moment of sunrise, the main generals of each battalion also arrived.
In this expedition, all the 3,000 battalions of the Beijing battalion were dispatched, and there were six regiments and battalions plus 5,000 of the Chinese army, and 3,000 and 2,000 craftsmen directly under Jia Hui, a total of 100,000 people.
The remaining border towns also took 10,000 people plus hundreds of craftsmen to go on the expedition, and there were more than 100,000 people.
The two parties gathered, a total of 200,000 people!
The grain and grass of the army had already been transported to Huaihuang Town outside Zhangjiakou.
The generals of all the departments have already gathered in the school field, just waiting for the arrival of Marshal Yun Yu.
The regimental battalions dispatched by the Beijing camp this time are Fenwu, Yaowu, Lianwu, Xianwu, Yangwei, and Zhenwei.
After greeting each other, they got together in twos and threes to chat.
As soon as Yun Yu arrived, he quickly lined up in line.
The generals of the various departments who had already counted the team also reported the situation to Yun Yu, and Yun Yu ordered to go into the city to be read!
Jia Hui also returned to the cavalry phalanx, and when all the infantry set off, it was cavalry.
γγγγγγ
After a review and tossing until the end of the day, Jia Hui led the horse army out of Desheng Gate.
Jia Hui looked at the green silk that exuded a wisp of floral fragrance in his hand, and smiled.
Originally, when he went out, he was still feeling a little disappointed because his fiancΓ©e didn't come to see him, but when the Li family's little servant, who was standing on the side of the road and waving to him, led himself to the small pavilion outside Desheng Gate, all the stuffiness disappeared.
Li Kun, who was wearing a light cyan coat, stood in front of Jia Hui refreshingly.
Speechless.
"Don't be so desperate anymore, take good care of yourself." Li Kun spoke.
"Well, when I come back, our Hou Mansion in Luoyang will almost be completed, and I will marry you when the time comes."
"Bah, don't say such unlucky things..."
"Unlucky?"
"It's all like this in the book, a man will marry a woman when he comes back, and it's basically ......" Li Kun realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Haha, it's just written in the book, it's okay, the husband of the family has been a disaster for thousands of years!"
"Don't talk about yourself like that!"
The two fell silent again.
"I'll be serious, we'll get married when we come back!"
"Hmm."
Li Kun's cheeks flushed, and when he thought of something, he took out a pair of scissors from his side.
With waist-length hair, a piece of green silk was cut off, tied tightly with a red rope, and placed in a blue sachet.
"There's nothing to give, this is for you."
Jia Hui took the sachet and hung it solemnly on his waist.
"Don't worry, this time it's just learning how to fight in the Chinese army, I won't die!"
"That's good, it's not too early, I'm going back too." Li Kun nodded.
Jia Hui took Li Kun's slender hand and pulled her down the slope.
Li Kun symbolically struggled for a while, then blushed with a handkerchief, and followed Jia Hui obediently.
The little maid of the Li family leaned on the carriage, and when she saw her aunt and young lady coming down the mountain, she hurriedly put down the small ladder, and the maid Suyun in the carriage also got out of the carriage.
Seeing Su Yun help Li Kun get into the car, Jia Hui stepped on the stone and turned over the horse, and rushed towards the large army, Jia Hui's personal soldiers saluted the future master mother, and also got on the horse and chased after Jia Hui.
γγγγγγ
Since it is in his own territory, there is no need to send scouts out to investigate.
Yes, the scouts were also in the ranks of the Ma army.
They won't be dispatched until the army arrives at Huaihuang.
After starting from Deshengmen, go northwest to Chang Parallel Army, cross Juyong Pass, cross the Badaling Great Wall, go west along the official road, pass through Huailai and Xuanhua, and finally come to Zhangjiakou.
The army only rested outside the city for two days, and finally confirmed the supplies they were carrying, and if they lacked anything, they quickly went into the city to buy it, and they had no chance when they entered the grassland.
Two days later, Yun Yu ordered to enter the grassland!
γγγγγγ
Since a hundred years ago, Meng Yuan was driven out of the Central Plains, and the Khan Court also moved to the upper capital.
However, due to the several northern expeditions of the Great Qi and the many invasions of the upper capital, the Great Khans abandoned this ruined city, moved the capital to Abahanar, and changed its name to Xilinhot.
The atmosphere inside the Golden Horde was very dreary.
Bilig Khan looked at the information in his hand with a gloomy face.
Although the Khan's court has experienced more than a dozen northern expeditions of the Qi people, its weakness is also relative, although the Khan's court can't beat the Qi people and the Oirats in the west, but it is still very easy to fight a newly established Mobei Khalkha.
For example, the Balhu tribe of Mandulu has defeated the Chechen tribe of Nuo Nuo and forced the Chechen tribe to move north to the fishing sea.
But the news of this victory could not hide another terrible thing.
Qi people are here again!
Dog-like Tumengken, who is not good to call, you are called Qi people. Don't you know that the old emperor's moral inferiority is comparable to the depth of the sea of fishing?
When the Khan Court is defeated, there will still be good fruit to eat?
Bilikhan let out a long breath and slowly leaned back in his chair.
Forget it, the countrymen don't know how to see and don't know the sinister world, so it's better to pay attention to how to fight with the Qi army and not lose too badly.
"Great Khan, now that the Qi army is approaching, the traitor Nuo He of the Chechen Department has been defeated by Mandu Lu Huntaiji, and the old minister suggests that the men and horses of Mandu Lu Hun Taiji be transferred south to resist the Qi people."
The gray-haired Ordos Huntaiji Omubu Chuhuer stepped forward.
The year before last, the small earth city that Tumut had worked hard to build was raided by Yulin General You Gui last year, and it was burned down, causing heavy losses to men, horses and livestock, and the embarrassed Tumut troops could only move north.
For Ombu Chuhuer, resisting the attack of the Qi people and finding every opportunity to avenge the tribesmen is the most important thing, as for the Khalkha? Anyway, it's a desert Gobi, not its own grassland, so it doesn't matter if you have it or not.
"Don't ah, the Great Khan, the Qi people are tyrannical, and rashly starting a war can only increase casualties, when the time comes, the Khalkha rebellion and the Qi people join forces, my Dayuan will suffer from the enemy, and there will be heavy losses, what will the Khalkha do I don't know, but Oirat has to do something, how can we resist the heavy losses? I hope the Great Khan will think twice! Ordos Huntai Ji Polo hurriedly stopped.
He belonged to the Qi army who had lost his spirit, and in the past hundred years, more than a dozen Northern Expeditions had they lost more and won less, which had already made some tribal leaders who dreamed of Dayuan recognize the reality.
"Don't fight? So what can you do to retreat from the enemy? By your mouth? Ombu Chuhur was a little angry and asked Polo Hu.
"Then can you guarantee that Mandulu will be able to block the Qi people when he returns?"
Polo suddenly got used to him, and asked back.
"That's better than you not resisting!" Ombu Chuhur looked at Polo Hu with a sneering expression.
"You!" Polo held the handle of the steel knife in his hand and glared angrily at Ombu Chuhuer.
"Alright, I'll think about it." Bilig Khan spoke, after all, he was still the nominal Great Khan of the entire Mughul, and his majesty was still useful in the ministries.
Bilig Khan was also distressed.
If you continue to fight Khalkha, you can't take it in a short time, plus the Qi people came from the south, and the remaining army of the Khan's court is basically an end of hitting a stone with an egg.
But the troops are transferred back to fight with the Qi people...
Not to mention whether they can fight or not, are they really willing to spit out the people, livestock and new pastures that they have eaten in their stomachs?
"Well, let's send someone to talk about it first. I'm tired, stand down. β
Bilig Khan waved his hand impatiently, and his subordinates had different expressions, but they still withdrew from the military tent according to the order of the Great Khan.
As a young man, Bilge Khan was also very aggressive, defeating Oirat's attacks several times, and he was proud of his disdain for the tribes who did not want to fight the Qi people, believing them to be cowards.
When Bilig Khan was about to lead people south and reappear in Dayuan, he finally understood why he Abu and the others had become so decadent.
The 300,000 Qi army broke through the capital and trampled the pride of Bilig Khan to pieces, and since then, Bilig Khan has also been lying down like the previous Great Khan.
Mughure is really no longer what it used to be, so let it be as if you love!
Realizing his powerlessness, Bilighan became like his father.
Fat grows on the angular face, and the muscles of the arms that can pull the bow become relaxed, and the hip flesh grows...
Let's cherish every day we live!
But the guilt of losing his ambition and the suffocating power of the Great Qi always weighed on Bilig Khan,
In the dead of night, he often regretted not giving up the throne to his younger brother.
"Ugh..."
Rubbing his temples, Bilig Khan regained his strength, his tribe, his Da Yuan still needed him.
γγγγγγ
Upper Capital City.
Ten years ago, after the Qi army captured Shangdu, it did not change its name.
After a simple restoration, the capital of the Great Yuan became a military city, a bridgehead for the Qi army to fight north, and 5,000 elites were stationed all year round.
Ten days after leaving Huaihuang Town, 200,000 troops marched to the capital.
"Dog cub dares to hit Lao Tzu!" The Khalkha envoy Erek's left eye was blue, and he glared angrily at the Mo Nanzheng envoy on the opposite side, pounced on him, and collided with him.
"Stop it! Come on, lock up! "Yun Yu has been fighting for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen the envoys of the two sides play hand-to-hand combat in their big tents in broad daylight.
The guards hurriedly stepped forward, and the four of them pressed one of them, and each of them grabbed a hand and foot and was carried out of the big tent.
When the scolding disappeared, Yun Yu glanced at Mo Nan's paperwork.
"Oh, I'm blind." Yun Yu threw the paperwork on the table and shouted.
"Open to the market? All the prices are set by them, return the capital city, and admit that the entire steppe belongs to the Great Yuan Khan? And even a New Year's coin? Who's asking for whom? β
Yun Yu looked at the contents of the document with a look of surprise.
"Dashuai, that Mo Nan deceives people too much! I can't swallow this breath when I wait for the Jingying Ma Army, so the commander will give the order quickly! We will capture the Great Khan of Naraush alive in front of His Majesty!" Jia Hui spoke, saying that now he can kill that Bilig Khan.
After listening to Jia Hui's words, the main generals on the side also began to shout to cut off the head of Bilig Khan, and for a while the crowd was furious, and Dayou would kill Xilin Gol now, and he would be able to break the city tomorrow and return to Beijing the day after tomorrow.
"Okay, all silenced, this kind of document is perfunctory at first glance, and it is very insincere, and it must be repeatedly frustrated and rubbed!"
The words of the handsome Yun Yu quickly calmed everyone's anger.
"Dashuai, then how should we fight?" The commander of the Xianwu Battalion, Feng Yuan, stood up and said.
"How to fight I already have a draft, and I have to wait until the night to take it back and make revisions, okay, I have been on the road for ten days, and the brothers are also tired, and they may come back at any time if they don't collect it at night, seize the time to rest, and then there is a tough battle to fight, let's go back." Yun Yu stood up and said to everyone.
"Yes, I won't bother Dashuai when I wait!" The generals also stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Jinyu stays."
"Huh? Be! β
