Chapter 50: Aunt and Grandmother of the Jia Family

"It's time to eat!" The master of the gang leader army banged the gong, followed by several gang leaders pushing food carts.

I stopped the car, lifted the lid of the large wooden barrel, and the aroma of mutton burst out instantly.

"It's time to eat!"

Originally, because they were weak for nearly two hours, the Qi soldiers who were lying in the camp tent were stiff with a carp, and they ran out with bamboo tubes without wearing shoes.

"Hey, don't squeeze don't squeeze, say you, damn, you squeeze to reincarnate!" The master stunned a Qi soldier who was desperately squeezing in front of him with a spoon.

A few of his companions with Xiaoqi were about to step forward to theorize, but when they saw the master's arms that were about the same thickness as his thighs, he dragged out the fainted man with interest, picked up his bamboo tube, and silently followed the team.

The noise in the camp suddenly became much quieter, and everyone silently lined up and began to eat in an orderly manner.

In Jia Hui's tent, the gang leader also sent a bucket of milk-white mutton soup that had been cooked, and even the haggis was peeled and washed and boiled in one piece.

Jia Hui, Luda, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, and Yang Zhi were also there, and they were wearing bandages at this time, snoring and pouring into their mouths.

Jia Hui and the four of them ate Zhengxiang, but Luda ate without a bite.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong?" Jia Hui put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked up at Luda.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just this siege, the south is full of old and weak, and my brother also knows that they are our enemies, but when my stick hits those gray-headed old people, I still feel uncomfortable."

Ruda was a little silent, looked at the broth in his hand, lifted the bowl and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Don't say these disappointing words, come, boy, bring another bowl to the Sprinkler family!" Ruda reached out and handed the bowl to the young man in the gang.

"Hey, Lord Lu!" The young man looked at the few people in the big tent with admiration, fortunately his father was one of the masters of the gang leader, otherwise, with the age when he was fifteen years old and just enlisted in the army, how could he be qualified to serve these masters?

The entire camp has already spread, and the great Sima general Jia Hui does not need to say much, this war is commanded by him.

The remaining four people are also completely famous in the army!

Lord Lu Dalu served as the commander of the first camp, and led 3,000 elites to break through the defense line of the southern army from beginning to end, killing countless people, and even opened the southern city gate first!

Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi were the direct subordinates of the general, and in this battle, they took the lead in fighting with the cavalry of the Yuan army, which was several times their size, and finally defeated them.

It proves the general's discernment, and it also proves that the three of them are indeed qualified to be a thousand households, and they are even a little condescending.

After eating and drinking, the young man of the gang leader quickly sorted out the dishes and chopsticks, pushed the cart and left the general's camp tent step by step.

The four of them sat on the mazar, touching their stomachs and refusing to move.

"Brother Lu, after this battle, the task of the infantry army is completed, and the next thing is the matter of the Ma army, do you stay here or go back to the capital?" Jia Hui asked.

Ruda opened his eyes and thought for a moment.

"The Sprinkle family should stay here, and go back together when the brothers are done."

"Okay, what about the three of you? The three of you have this injury, whether it is serious or not, whether it is light or not, you can stay in the rear or continue to fight, what are your plans? Jia Hui nodded and asked the three of them again.

"General Qi, I still want to continue to go into battle and follow the general to kill the enemy!"

The three of them hurriedly stood up from the maza, knelt down on one knee and said in unison to Jia Hui.

"Come on, Hu Jiu! Go and take out the wound medicine that our family has passed down, our army is expected to leave the day after tomorrow, so let's take advantage of these days to recuperate from our wounds! ”

"I'll wait to thank the general!" The three of them bowed down together.

"Okay, take the ointment in a while, go back to recuperate, I still have to go to the big tent to deal with some things, let's go!" After Jia Hui finished speaking, he stood up and left his tent and walked towards the Taishi Mansion.

。。。。。。

After fighting for nearly two hours, the whole army was exhausted, but fortunately, not everyone participated in the battle, such as Xie Yong's Chinese army and the auxiliary soldiers and gang leaders who followed Yun Yu, they did not participate in the battle, so when most of the people were resting in the barracks, there was still a group of people who maintained the basic work of the battalion.

"Horse material and other things, those Huntaiji who escaped were not burned, there are still some in the treasury of the Yuan Court, plus the horse material we brought, we must let our war horses recover as soon as possible, I remember that the gang leader still has some soybeans? Let's give a piece to the horse. ”

"General, there are soybeans in the horse feed?"

"Just the 500 stone soybeans in the horse feed, give it to 80,000 war horses and nothing, give all the soybeans to the horses to eat, anyway, we have captured a lot of cattle and sheep, and there is no shortage of food."

"Yes!"

"General, damaged weapons..."

"If the condition is still in good condition, repair it, and if the damage is serious, seal it directly, and call the Shangdu battalion to send the spare weapons quickly, and if it is not delivered before tomorrow evening, ask them to try it."

"Yes!"

In the main hall, the civilian officials and petty officials of the army went in and out, and Jia Hui was also working hard to deal with military affairs.

Next to him, Yun Yu lay on the rocking chair leisurely, looking at the busy sweaty Jia Hui with a comfortable face, and sang a leisurely song.

"Marshal, don't be idle, send back the battle report to the imperial court!"

When you hear that incomplete tune, if you sing it well, it's just good, how can you sing it like a bird?

Jia Hui hurriedly left the work of writing the battle report to Yun Yu.

"Huh? It's not the boss's..."The more Yun Yu spoke, the thinner his voice became, looking at the paperwork stacked higher and higher on the table because Jia Hui turned around to talk to him, his conscience ached, and he still had to come to the pen and paper to start completing his own work.

"Chen Yunyu, Jia Hui ......"

。。。。。。

Boom!

The heavy arrow cut through the moonlight, hitting the back of the man in black, and the man in black, who was about to escape over the wall, screamed and fell into the grass.

Yuan Li jumped down from the tree and cautiously approached the root of the wall.

"Commander!" Several of the guards who had rushed over with their spears also arrived.

"It's just right, go, poke and poke to see if it's dead."

Yuan Li pointed to the man in black who was motionless in the grass, and the two guards picked up their spears and stabbed the root of the man's thigh, seeing that the man did not move, Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's the eighth wave this month..."Yuan Li smiled bitterly, he thought that it was an easy job to come to protect his aunt and Aunt Min's family, who thought that his uncle was also a talent, and the salt merchants began to use the dead, and the sixty people who came over together were only forty-two people, salt merchants, is this the old lady who was gotten to it? Such a big vendetta?

"Commander Yuan, the lord is affectionate." A little guy walked over with a numb face, he was indeed a little scared at first, but after the successive attacks, the Lin family's little guy was numb.

"Okay, I'll go find my uncle." Yuan Li said a few words to the two guards and then left with the little servant, and the two guards lifted the body and walked to the dungeon of the Yanyan Imperial Shi Yamen to see if there were any clues on the corpse.

Yuan Li also followed the little guy to Lin Hai.

"I've seen my uncle!" Yuan Li saluted in front of the door, and walked in after receiving Lin Hai's reply.

Lin Hai was woken up by the movement of Yuan Li and others chasing and killing soldiers, and at this time he only wore a long robe over his middle coat and did not tie his hair.

"Engong, this should be the eighth wave of dead soldiers, right?" Lin Hai rubbed his forehead, since the Yue family sent reinforcements, he had already grabbed a lot of tails of salt merchants, and he intensified his investigation, and wiped out two medium-sized salt merchants who sold illegal salt in one fell swoop, and shocked Yangzhou salt merchants.

But the salt merchant's counterattack also followed, and it became more and more intense, even the personal soldiers sent by the Yue family have lost a lot, and now the form is becoming more and more difficult, if it is not for the emperor and the emperor's cronies, the salt merchants dare not do too much, otherwise I am afraid that the whole family will suffer.

Thinking of this, Lin Hai's eyes were red, Yuan Li and they found out about the spy in the family a few days after they came, and he couldn't believe it until now, Lin Qi, the chef of the kitchen, turned out to be an undercover agent of the salt merchant, he was the son of the Lin family, and he had been an old man in the kitchen for nearly forty years since he was a child!

He was actually poisoning Jia Min's mother and daughter!

The only thing to be thankful for is that the dose of the spine is very small, and it has only just started a few meals, and the wife has no reaction due to her strong bones, but her frail daughter and son who have just been born for a few months are miserable, and the two of them have a serious illness and almost didn't survive!

I must not come to the white-haired person to send the black-haired person once!

(Lin Daiyu has a younger brother who died three years younger, and she remembered the wrong time before, but fortunately, it didn't affect anything, so she should think that younger brother was five years younger than her!) )

This revenge, I, Lin Hai, will not be a person if I don't swear it!

"Uncle is tormenting the little one, this is the responsibility of the little one, it's not worth being called so by the uncle!" Yuan Li had a headache, since he found out the Lin family's spies that day, Lin Hai began to shout one by one, although Aunt Min did not call herself Engong with her uncle, but she found a daughter-in-law for herself and bought a family for herself, which also made him sleep and eat uncomfortably recently.

"What should be called, what should be called, if it weren't for Engong to see through the betrayal, my Lin family wouldn't know what to become! Engong is naturally worthy of the Lin family's Engong! Lin Hai still didn't want to change his name for Yuan Li.

"Alas..."Yuan Li gave up struggling, whatever.

"Uncle, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, how can this be a thousand days to prevent thieves? Once those salt merchants find out our details, it will be too late! Yuan Li said to Lin Hai with a bitter face.

"Alas, don't you want to catch them all? But since the defeat of the big and small deer families, those salt merchants have become more and more cunning, and the spies sent out can even see their tails, even, even..."Lin Hai's face turned red, and he looked at Yuan Li with difficulty.

"Even Yangzhou Caogong..."

"Uncle is cautious!" Yuan Li hurriedly covered Lin Hai's mouth and looked around with a flustered expression.

"That's what we little bodies can mention? Uncle, don't forget, those people's backers are..."

Yuan Li trembled and pointed upward, no longer speaking.

Lin Hai was also silent, he was just a salt patrol, even if his wife was the eldest lady of the Jia family who was born in the Gen Hongmiao Zhengcao Gang. If something unspeakable really happened, the most that group of people would be to protect the names of the lady and the two children.

But if it really touches their core interests, maybe even their wives can't be saved, and over the years, the Yue family's power in the south has been eaten away by the Zhen family too much, and it can no longer have any impact on the Jiangnan Cao Trade Union.

There was silence in the room.

"No, if there is a problem with the Cao Guild, the angels in the palace will have already come to replace them, the royal family just trusts them very much, but they don't have to rely on them! Is it true that embroidered clothes are vegetarian? ”

There was a crisp sound outside the house, and Jia Min pushed the door and walked in.

Yuan Li was about to get up and avoid it, but was pushed back to his seat by Lin Hai and his wife.

"What is this going to do? Engong saved the lives of his wife and two children, and he is the real benefactor of the Lin family. Lin Hai said as he pressed Yuan Li's shoulder.

Even if you say that, I don't dare to really enter the room!

Yuan Li looked at Jia Min as if he was helping.

"Auntie..."

"Ruhai is right..."Jia Min looked at Yuan Li's helpless eyes and said with a forced smile.

Yuan Li was completely numb.

You husband and wife can be whatever they say.

Jia Min sat down in a chair.

"Although the Chen family and my Jia family are both from the Cao Gang, but what the Cao Gang is, we know very well, and the people who are close to it are only the Cao Gong, not the Cao Gang itself.

"Madame means the embroidered clothes hidden in the Cao Guild..."Lin Hai gasped.

Jia Min nodded.

However, Xu Guogong and his old man's energy became more and more weak, and these ghosts and ghosts hidden in the Cao Guild also began to emerge, but Old Lady Liu has always refused to accept the old man and survived several selected successors.

Now Zheng Shun, the president of the Cao Trade Union, who has taken over the position of Mrs. Liu, is just the deputy of the previous candidate, and the tall one among the short people was appointed by the old lady to become the president, and some people disagree with him, and the current president of the Yangzhou branch, Hua Xin, is quite dissatisfied with Zheng Shun..."Jia Min couldn't stop saying.

"Ma'am, where did you get this news from?" Lin Hai asked cautiously.

Jia Min, who was interrupted, glanced at Lin Hai expressionlessly.

"At the party's party of the official wife, Mrs. Hua Xin said that she was dissatisfied with Zheng Shun from beginning to end, and a group of people were either complaining about this or complaining about that, and they were not happy at all, and they stopped going after going a few times."

"Ah, that's what you said about getting up with the lady who stayed at home in Jinling..."Jia Min kept looking at Lin Hai indifferently, and Lin Hai hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.

"That's right, it's just a conflict, what's wrong? A collateral daughter of the Zhen family dares to take Qiao in front of me, the eldest lady of the Jia family?

Before she got married, even those princesses and county lords treated each other politely in front of their aunts and grandmothers, and they didn't dare to slack off. ”

Back then, in front of the emperor who had not abdicated, even some princesses did not have her Jia Min's holy favor!

"Ah, this..."

This is what one of my guards can hear?

Jia Min saw Yuan Li's uneasiness.

"If my Lin family can't even trust Commander Yuan, who else can I trust?"

Jia Min's straightforward words moved Yuan Li, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must protect the Lin family well!

"After beating her, she even dared to say that she wanted to find the eldest cousin of the Zhen family to sue me? Hmph, it's not bad to shoot her without the bow and crossbow that the emperor gave me for self-defense!

If it weren't for those ladies and ladies to stop them, they would have let that person know what a general's girl is! ”

Jia Minfeng was stunned and stared straight at Lin Hai.

"Husband rest assured that the safety of the family is under the care of Commander Yuan, and there will be no problem!

When the concubine repairs a few letters and sends them to Jingzhong and Huai'an, the concubine wants to see which one is not long-eyed, and dares to touch the tiger whiskers of my Jia family! "Jia Min is arrogant, not inferior to a man!

Wait, my aunt's eldest nephew got up, and the Jia family got up again! Those city fox society rats who have plotted against the Lin family are all waiting to be liquidated!

Watching the dogs fight... The domineering Miss Jia Min, Lin Hai was happy in his heart.

Although there are some suspicions of eating soft rice, it is great to have such a strong Yue family!

Lin Hai sighed in his heart, and suddenly he was also full of pride!

I also want to build a family for my daughter that I can rely on!

。。。。。。

The transport force finally brought the spare weapons to Xilinhot before the sun went down the next day.

When the eagle was received early yesterday morning, the transport troops that had been prepared for a long time in the capital city began to hurry, during which it rained heavily, but the entire transport team still reached the destination in the rain with an iron will.

Rain.

Heavy dark clouds obscured the sun and the moon, and only the braziers in Xilinhot City were left on the whole land. Even with the hood, the flames in the basin were swaying from the rain, and they were reflected on the wall like fire spewing out of the mouth of Navimadhara.

"Go and inform the troops, it's time to get a new weapon!"

Jia Hui stood on the city gate tower at the south gate with an umbrella, looking at the military equipment that was pulled into the city below.

The herald immediately ran to inform the battalion commanders that they had gone, and Jia Hui looked at it for a while, then turned around and returned to his barracks.

After two consecutive days of three shifts, the damaged armor, vests and weapons of the Ma army have been almost repaired, and if the damage is serious, they can also receive new ones tonight.

Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the itinerary of the Balhu and Chahar tribes was also blocked, and the map showed that the Balhu tribe had stopped, even in the Chahar tribe had slowed down, and it seemed that they were planning to camp to hide from the rain.

Whether it rains tomorrow or not, I have to send troops!

"Pass the order, let the gang leader make me all the ginger and dried ginger into soup, leave enough for one bowl per person today, and pour the rest into a water bag for me!"

It didn't take long for a bowl of hot ginger soup to be served, and the crimson one was delicious at first glance.

"General, this is the ginger syrup specially supplied to the commanders of each battalion, there is not much sugar in the army, that's all."

"It's okay, it's good to drink some." Jia Hui picked up the bowl and sucked it up.

On the table was a document announcing that the armor and waistcoat had been repaired, and on it was written a reading word, stamped with the seal of the great general, handed it to the waiting herald, and then looked at the next page.

"There are still more than 53,000 horse troops to continue fighting." I took another sip of ginger syrup and swallowed it.

In fact, he Jia Hui doesn't like the taste of ginger very much, but there is no way, in order to prevent colds, he must have a bowl of this, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"Yes, everyone has been injured a little bit, and they have all improved a lot after taking medicine, but there are still nearly 10,000 brothers who are seriously injured and cannot continue to fight." Lin Chong replied.

As Jia Hui's direct Qianhu, Lin Chong and the three of them also have the responsibility to act as a microphone between Jia Hui and Ma Jun.

"Use the best medicine, if the medicinal materials are not enough, even if you ask for it from Zhangjiakou, the brothers work hard, or... Let's try to keep everyone alive as much as possible! ”

Jia Hui sighed, in fact, among the soldiers of Great Qi, the number of people who died directly in battle was not much, and those who did not recover from the deterioration of their wounds were the ones who died the most.

"If there is a dead brother who has no head on him, ask the brothers if they will give them the extra head."

"Yes." Lin Chong agreed, picked up an umbrella and walked out of the barracks.

Jia Hui drank all the ginger syrup in the bowl and handed the bowl to the gang leader.

"Okay, you can go back too, remember to tell a few of your masters, we will leave early tomorrow morning and make a hot meal for everyone."

"Yes, the little one must bring the words!" The leader of the gang straightened up and assured Jia Hui, and then returned to the camp of the leader army with a bucket and bowl.

After processing the last few paperwork, Jia Hui also washed up and fell asleep.
