Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

The general army of Jingzhou and the general army of Yuzhou described the Southern Barbarian army in the folds.

Although it cannot be ruled out that they have exaggerated words, they are expected to be lenient.

Jia Huan had to make all kinds of preparations according to their description.

For example, if you encounter the wolf army of the Southern Barbarians, how should you respond?

In the face of the Elephant Army, the Bison Legion and the Eagle Falcon Legion of the Southern Barbarian Army, how to deal with it.

The specific number of the Southern Barbarian Army, the distribution of troops, the combat effectiveness, and the distribution of armaments, the more detailed the better.

In this half-month effort, he is afraid that he will not be idle, and the more fully prepared the better.

Therefore, Jia Huan simply threw all the pre-war mobilization and pre-war preparations to the deputy general Zhou Tong.

Jia Huan returned directly to Ningguo Mansion to find the Mo master, and during this time, he asked the Mo family to build a batch of autocratic instruments for him.

After instructing Mo to be in charge, Jia Huan called Jia Yun in again and instructed Jia Yun again.

As soon as Jia Yun left with her front foot, Lin Daiyu walked in.

Jia Huan saw that Lin Daiyu's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

Looking at Jia Huan, Lin Daiyu took out a peace charm and stuffed it into Jia Huan's hand, and said softly: "Brother Huan, this is the peace charm I specially asked for for you, you can keep it safe with you." ”

Jia Huan nodded, held Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, just rest assured, don't you still believe me?" ”

"I'm sure I'll be fine, and this time I came back from the southwest, and I happened to pass through Jiangnan, and I happened to stop by to visit my uncle."

"I'm a miracle doctor, and when I see my uncle, I will diagnose my uncle, and I will definitely be able to make sure that my uncle is safe."

Lin Daiyu listened, nodded slightly, and then said, "Brother Huan, you must be more careful and come back safely." Remember, I'm waiting for you at the Grand View Garden. ”

"If you don't come back for a day, I'll wait for you for a day. If you don't come back for a year, I'll wait for you for a year. If you don't come back for the rest of your life, I'll wait for you for the rest of your life. ”

After that, Lin Daiyu hugged Jia Huan tightly, and unconsciously shed tears again.

Jia Huan comforted softly, and it was easy for Lin Daiyu to stop her tears.

Jia Huan suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say: "By the way, I will leave the two sisters Mozhu and Momei by your side, you don't treat them as maids, only treat them as sisters." ”

"With the two of them here, you'll be covered. You're okay, I can rest assured. ”

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but say: "Brother Huan'er, I'm in the Grand View Garden, and I don't go out, where will there be any danger?" ”

"But you're going to war, it's very dangerous. If you bring them with you, you can also add a little more security. ”

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Lin, I'm going to the southwest to march and fight, where can I take women out of the army?" ”

"I have my own guards by my side, and I also have Brother Liu here. Rest assured, I'll come back with all the mustaches. ”

In the afternoon, Jia's mother sent Jia Lian over to invite Jia Huan to come over.

Jia Huan hesitated, and finally went to Rongguo Mansion.

is about to go on the expedition, with this old lady here, she can also help take care of Ning Guofu.

There's no need to still be so stiff with her.

went to Rongguo Mansion, and Jia's mother gave a lot of advice, and Jia Huan agreed one by one.

In the evening, he went to Qin Keqing's place again and comforted Qin Keqing.

In the days since, Jia Huan has been busy.

He has been in the courtyard where the children of the Mo family live for the past few days, developing equipment with them.

Before leaving, Emperor Chongkang summoned Niu Jizong and Jia Huan together.

This meeting of monarchs and ministers is naturally a process of encouragement and determination, and it is not necessary to remember it too much.

After talking about the palace, Niu Jizong called Jia Huan to his mansion and wanted to set up a banquet to invite Jia Huan.

Jia Huan naturally knew that this General Niu had something to order, so he followed Niu Jizong to the Zhenguo Mansion.

When he arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, Niu Jizong ordered someone to set up a banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Niu Jizong couldn't help but say to Jia Huan: "Brother Huan, in two days, the army will be launched." ”

"Your Red Flame Army is all cavalry, and it is a vanguard army. According to His Majesty's orders, you do not need to carry too much military rations. ”

"Along the way, there are places to provide military rations. Therefore, His Majesty ordered your Red Flame Army to hurry up and arrive at the southwest battlefield first. ”

"And after you arrive in the southwest, you must first join Yuzhou, Jingzhou and the southwest soldiers and horses, and don't act rashly."

"After the convergence, you will first find out the situation of the Nanban army, and when our army arrives, you will fight to the death with the Nanban."

"Swords and guns have no eyes, and as a vanguard general, the most important thing is to command the whole army, not to take the lead and kill the enemy."

"We are all noble children, no better than those big-headed soldiers from poor backgrounds, and we don't need to carry our heads to earn our lives to win the future."

"Brother Huan, you are the patriarch of the Jia family, and you are a marquis. On the battlefield, remember to learn how to protect yourself and come back safely. ”

"My Niu Mansion and your Jia family are friends who are not reversible, and you are my descendant. This time you follow me on the expedition. ”

"I will take you out safely, and I must bring you back safely. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the old lady in your house when I come back. ”

This Niu Jizong ate a lot of wine, and he inevitably chattered when he spoke.

Jia Huan listened, but he was not annoyed.

Niu Jizong's words were sincerely good to him, and Jia Huan was not a person who didn't know what to do.

He promised with his mouth, and from time to time asked Niu Jizong for some precautions for leading troops to the battle.

Niu Jizong talked more about it.

drank until midnight, and then Niu Jizong let Jia Huan go back.

Two days later, Jia Huan got up early, and after freshening up, Qingwen and the other girls stepped forward to help Jia Huan with her armor.

As soon as she was a girl, she couldn't help crying into tears.

After a while, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Tanchun, Xichun and other sisters came to see each other off.

Aunt Zhao also rushed over early, she hugged Jia Huan and cried loudly.

The sisters wept over it.

Jia Huan hurriedly comforted: "Madam, I am a general, I only need to command the soldiers to fight in the back, and I don't need to go into battle myself, where will there be any danger?" ”

"But in March and February, I will come back, and I will definitely bring some novel gifts back to my wife at that time, why should my wife be so sad?"

Aunt Zhao cried: "You still call me aunt, I don't want to be the wife of this Laoshizi." It's all all earned by you, Brother Huan. ”

"I just want to see you safe, marry Lin Yatou and enter the door, and have a few more big fat boys, and I will be satisfied."

"You have to be more careful in everything this time. Miss Lin and I are waiting for you at home! ”

Hearing Aunt Zhao's words, Lin Daiyu became more and more sad, and Aunt Zhao hurriedly walked to Lin Daiyu's side, but comforted her.

After a while, Lin Daiyu stopped her grief and comforted Aunt Zhao in turn.

Seeing that they got along harmoniously, even after they left, they could also watch each other, and Jia Huan let go of his distraction.

said goodbye to the women, beat the horse and went out of the house, only to see Jia Lian, Baoyu and a group of children of the Jia family, all sending each other outside the door.

Jia Huan said goodbye to everyone and rode away.

Lin Daiyu's daughters were sent away in the door.

Only Qin Keqing didn't even have the qualifications to come to see him off.

Only wept at home, secretly praying for Jia Huan.

Jia Huan fought all the way, and soon came to the Red Flame Army garrison.

At this time, the whole Red Flame Army was already ready, just waiting for Jia Huan to arrive, and it could be pulled out at any time.

After Jia Huan arrived, the whole Red Flame Army went straight to Dianjiangtai.

Jia Huan heard that Emperor Chongkang would come in person to see off the army.

It can be seen that Chongkangdi attached great importance to this expedition.

Soon, Jia Huan led the Red Flame Army to Dianjiangtai.

The 100,000 Beijing battalion army had been assembled outside Dianjiangtai and was assembled in a short time.

Then, the generals of the ten battalions, plus Jia Huan, the commander of the Red Flame Army, went to report in front of the tent of Marshal Niu Jizong.

Niu Jizong inquired about the assembly of the personnel of the various armies, and after learning that all the armies were coming at full strength, he ordered the whole army to open the way and ordered the Jiahuan Red Flame Army to open the way in front.

The Red Flame Army was already a vanguard army, so it naturally opened the way in front.

It's just that Jia Huan is still wondering in his heart, didn't he say that Emperor Chongkang would come to see him off?

Don't you wait for the emperor to come?

Jia Huan still remembers seeing the scene of the army going out and the emperor marching in film and television dramas, the emperor and the generals and all the soldiers, each holding a bowl of wine.

Everyone drank it all and then threw the bowl together.

Think of the scene of hundreds of thousands of people throwing bowls together, how spectacular?

However, in front of the general's platform, it is needless to say that Emperor Chongkang did not arrive, the emperor's identity is respected, and the last arrival is due righteousness.

But Jia Huan didn't see the wine jar and wine cup either, shouldn't these utensils be sent in advance? Did the emperor send it over together after he arrived?

And now, Niu Jizong directly ordered the army to be pulled.

For a while, Jia Huan always felt that something was wrong.

However, he didn't ask much.

Instead, he returned to the Red Flame Army and directly ordered the army to pull out.

It wasn't until the army came out of the general platform that Jia Huan saw Emperor Chongkang's actions.

Jia Huan suddenly realized that the emperor was here to see him off.

But he still didn't see the jar and the cup.

He felt that he was afraid that he was not deceived by film and television dramas.

Jia Huan ordered his lieutenant Zhou Tong to bring the Red Flame Army to the front and get out of the way.

And he took the initiative to step forward and give Emperor Chongkang a salute.

As a deputy general, Zhou Tong looked at Jia Huan, who visited the emperor alone, and was envious.

Half an hour later, Niu Jizong also rushed over.

Chongkangdi was dressed in civilian clothes, holding Niu Jizong in one hand and Jia Huan in the other.

"Niu Aiqing, Jia Aiqing, you are my confidants, and I will entrust you with all the battles in the southwest."

"When you get to the southwest, you can do it cheaply. If anyone does not obey the order, he will be punished with resistance. ”

Niu Jizong said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if the minister fights for his life, he will definitely expel the Nanban from my Great Xia!" ”

Jia Huan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the red flame has passed, and not a single grass grows!" The Red Flame Army is the sword in the hands of His Majesty! In this battle, I would like to try the edge of this sword for Your Majesty! ”

Hearing the words of the two, Chongkang Emperor Long's heart was overjoyed, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, then I am in the capital, waiting for your good news!" ”

"When you return triumphantly, I will definitely lead the hundred officials to personally greet my heroes and reward the three armies!"

Niu Jizong and Jia Huan saluted Emperor Chongkang, and then the two got on their horses and bid farewell to Emperor Chongkang again.

"Your Majesty, please stay and wait for our good news!"

Jia Huan rode a horse to the Red Flame Army and led the army to pull out.

After the Red Flame Army, the soldiers of the Beijing camp slowly followed.

The Red Flame Army was cavalry, and of the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, there were only 10,000 cavalry, and the remaining 90,000 were all infantry.

Its speed naturally cannot be compared with that of the Red Flame Army.

Emperor Chongkang watched the army go south and did not leave for a long time.

It wasn't until Dai Quan, the accompanying eunuch, urged him many times that Emperor Chongkang drove back to the palace.

……

The Red Flame Army's march speed was extremely fast, and it marched more than 120 miles on the first day.

This speed is extremely fast among cavalry.

As for the infantry, the speed of marching in a day was only thirty or forty miles.

The speed of the Red Flame Army's march was also due to the fact that they had plenty of horses and did not carry much military supplies such as grain and grass.

These military supplies are carried directly by horses.

In addition, thanks to the business skills of the gang head camp, they can always cook quickly and well when it is time to take a break to cook, and they can also ensure that the taste is not bad.

The various situations encountered on the march, the choice of the location of the camp, and so on, were all under the sole responsibility of the adjutant general Zhou Tong.

In fact, Jia Huan is not ignorant of these aspects.

As the main general, Jia Huan has read several military books.

However, it only stays at the theoretical level and lacks practice.

Since there is a veteran like Zhou Tong, such a good tool person, how could Jia Huan let go of such a good opportunity to be lazy?

Although Jia Huan's physical fitness is excellent, he also feels tired after the rapid march on this day.

Zhou Tong handled all trivial matters with all his heart, and he was very disdainful of Jia Huan in his heart.

This guy relied on a little luck and a bit of talent to let him occupy the position of coach.

What is his real ability? Leading troops to fight is simply bullshit.

But this is a great opportunity for me to buy hearts and minds even further.

The more I behaved, the more my brothers of the Red Flame Army admired me.

Therefore, Zhou Tong became more and more conscientious, and got up at night to inspect the barracks several times, lest there be a mistake.

Jia Huan fell asleep upside down and slept very sweetly.

After that, it lasted for more than 20 days, and every day the Red Flame Army marched for more than 100 miles.

But they didn't rush either.

Every five days, there is a half-day break.

When marching and fighting, it is also necessary to be relaxed.

If they march all the way, I am afraid that when they rush to the southwest battlefield, they will not be able to save a little combat effectiveness.

Even so, after more than 20 days, they finally managed to rush to the southwest battlefield.

At this time, the Southern Barbarian King had already preliminarily integrated the territory they had captured.

They once again launched a fierce attack on the Great Xia defensive line.

At this time, the defense line of Great Xia was already precarious.

At this moment, Jia Huan led 10,000 Red Flame troops and arrived in time.

The tripartite army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the vanguard army sent by the imperial court to support had arrived.

Reinforcements arrived in time.

If it's a few days late, they're afraid they won't be able to support it.

And now with this 10,000 living force, they can hold on for ten and a half more days.

When the time comes, the imperial army should also come.

The border can be guaranteed. (End of chapter)
