Chapter 9: Joining the Army in the North
"Why do you and your prince brother look the same? don't worry about your mother, always thinking about going out, is it really so good outside?" the queen said with an atmosphere of pointing to Princess Yu.
"No, no, no, mother, don't be angry, Yu'er knows it's wrong, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss the prince's brother, I'll go find him first, huh?" Princess Yu said and ran out.
The queen watched Princess Yu run away, she was angry and funny, how could she give birth to such naughty two children.
ran all the way to the prince's bedroom, but did not find the prince, and asked the companion to learn that the prince had gone to the northern front to lead the army and supervise the army.
Princess Yu, who came back in a huff, began to think about how to escape again. Jia Guoan left the capital and went all the way to the north, the weather was getting colder and colder, although he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he was physically strong, but after all, he was not a legendary immortal who could do it without invading the cold and heat.
On this day, Jia Guoan came to a big city, so he thought about going in to rest for a day and buy some clothes by the way. After buying clothes, I found a restaurant, three or five side dishes, and a pot of hot wine, which cleared the fatigue caused by days of traveling.
That night, when Jia Guoan was about to rest, he heard a subtle conversation next door,
"How's the information you were asked to inquire about?"
"Don't worry, I've figured out and recorded the layout of Tianbei City's city defenses. Hearing this, Jia Guo'an's heart moved, and he secretly thought, could this be a secret agent of the enemy country?
I couldn't help but listen carefully to the buttresses of the wall.
"Great, it's not in vain that we have worked so hard to travel around in this country of fire, bring this information back to Xinbei, and we will definitely be able to get promoted and make a fortune. ”
"Then let's go, shall we?" Hearing this, Jia Guoan was about to make a move, but it happened to come again
"Let's go to the pine forest in the north of the city to meet with the others, divide a few more copies of the information, and ensure that we can send it out. ”
"Okay, then let's go to the pine forest in the north of the city first. Hearing this, Jia Guoan decided to secretly follow the two and wipe out all the spies they were lurking in the empire.
followed the two of them for nearly half an hour, and finally arrived at the pine forest, fortunately, both of them chose to walk in a hidden place all the way, which also gave Jia Guoan the opportunity to follow, otherwise, the snow in the north in this winter would have been exposed.
Although he arrived in the pine forest, he did not see other spies, and Jia Guoan guessed that he should be nearby, but he was sure that it was safe, so he stopped and hid in the trees to observe.
Sure enough, the two were not in a hurry to find other spies, but went around the pine forest to check, and the two went deeper and deeper into the pine forest, and gradually lost sight, but Jia Guoan did not dare to follow, for fear that it was a trap.
In this way, the two disappeared for an hour, Jia Guoan was secretly annoyed, they shouldn't have let them go, maybe they had already run on the other side, they should hurry to Tianbei City to notify the news, so as to prevent them from sending information, even if it was to make them believe that their identities were exposed, there was no way.
Jia Guoan was about to return to the city to pick up the horses, but he saw the two of them come back, and learned a few bird calls, the snow at the edge of the pine forest suddenly moved, and five people came out, but fortunately they didn't follow up, it turned out that these five people had already been ambushed under the snow.
The spy's martial arts are not necessarily high, but the ability to light and conceal must be very strong, and it is easy to let go of a few of them rashly, Jia Guoan decided to put down the two people with the information first, so that the other five people should stay to protect or seize the information for the sake of information.
Just do what he said, Jia Guoan picked up the iron spear, poured it into the true qi, and with a move of the gun, Dingshanhe came out of his hand and fixed the two people with information through their chests and fixed them on the ground, and the other five people were startled, and hurriedly searched the bodies of the two, trying to find information to evacuate from this place, and did not know how many people there were on the other side.
The five of them didn't think about resisting, they just wanted to withdraw as soon as possible. Jia Guoan made the law of duckweed, which was taught to Jia Guoan by Princess Yu, the original Guoan did not know how to move, I thought that I would not want to learn it when I went into battle to kill the enemy, but I was forced by Princess Yu to practice, but I didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect today.
Quickly approached the five people, and while the five were still in a hurry to find information, a huge wave covered the sea palm and slapped the five people on the snow and couldn't move.
Jia Guoan tied up the five people, carefully checked them, and after making sure that the five people did not have suicide items, he searched for information and rode the horses of the two dead people to Tianbei City overnight.
Outside the city of Tianbei,
"Stop, who are you? I don't know that the Flame Empire strictly prohibits the slave trade!" Jia Guoan was stunned, is this treating me as a human trafficker?
Said to the officer guarding the city
"This lord, I'm not a human trafficker, these people are the secret agents of other countries that I caught outside the city, and they are about to be dedicated to the city lord and the general guarding the city, and I hope this lord will introduce me. ”
"Really?" Although the officers defending the city were suspicious, it was better to be cautious when it came to such a matter as the enemy's secret agents, and he took Jia Guoan's weapon and Jia Guoan to the city lord's mansion.
"Yang Shen, what are you anxious to find this official?" the city lord asked the officer guarding the city.
"Lord Qiyu, this person said that he captured five enemy spies outside the city and wanted to hand them over to the city lord. Yang Shen pointed to Jia Guoan.
"Oh, where is the agent? The city lord looked at Jia Guoan and asked.
"Back to my lordship, the secret agent is outside the house, this is a secret letter found from them, please take a look. Jia Guoan handed over the Tianbei City defense drawings collected by the spies to the city lord.
"Okay, come on, bring those five people down for careful interrogation, the little brother can catch the five spies and think about it. I don't know what the little brother's surname is? Do you have any reward you want?" the city lord said to Jia Guoan after reading the letter left by the secret agent,
"Go back to my lord, find someone surnamed Jia Ming'an. It was the little villagers in the village outside the North City on this day, the villain didn't dare to ask for any reward, but he heard that the Tianbei Army refused to leave the Three Kingdoms and the city gate in the north to protect the peace of my Flame Empire, and the villain admired it very much, hoping that the city lord would allow me to join the Tianbei Army. Jia Guoan saluted and returned.
"Haha, okay, I don't want the little brother to have a great desire to serve the country, it's a great achievement to catch these five spies, but I don't know what the little brother is capable of, why don't you have a discussion with Commander Yang, so that I can take a look?" The city lord looked at Jia Guoan and asked.
"Then, Commander Yang, offended. Jia Guoan hugged his fist at Yang Shen and saluted, and then followed Yang Shen to the martial arts arena.
At lunch in the upright army, all the soldiers were watching from the stage with their rice bowls. Jia Guoan didn't want to expose his marksmanship and just relied on his usual skills to fight with Yang Shen in one place, Jia Guoan didn't want to be too eye-catching when he first arrived, so he left his skills to dismantle the moves with Yang Shen.
Seeing this, the city lord stopped the competition and took the two to the big tent of the general of Tianbei.
"Brother Wang, my brother brought you a baby today, and you are going to invite my brother to dinner. Ha ha. "The city lord came in and said to the general of the Tianbei Army.
"Oh, I wonder what treasure my brother has brought me?" General Wang asked.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Jia An, today Jia An brought five secret agents from the empire, and these spies actually drew a map of the city defense of our Tianbei City, but fortunately they were stopped by the little brother. And just now I asked him to learn from Yang Shen, and the two of them don't know whether they win or lose. "General Wang was shocked, this Yang Shen is the city defense commander of Tianbei City, and his martial arts are the top of the entire Tianbei Army, and someone actually fought a tie with him?
"Where are the people? General Wang was excited.
"It's just outside the tent, Jaan come in. The lord of the city shouted outward. Jaan heard the city lord's call and stepped into the tent
"The villain Jia An has met the city lord, the general. He bowed.
"Little brother, I heard that you and Yang Shen can fight to a draw, but you are very skilled, I think you caught the secret agent and got the city defense map, I don't know what you think about the Tianbei city defense?" General Wang looked at Jia Guoan and asked.
"The villain has a slight idea, if it's not right, don't laugh at the general," Jia Guoan replied. The city lord took out the defense map and handed it to Jia Guoan, motioning for him to continue.
"General Hui, you see that the Tianbei Army is divided into three parts, two outside the city, two mountains on the left and right, and one inside the city to defend it. ”
"Oh, do you think that's not good? I wonder what the little brother thinks?" General Wang asked.
"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, our army can secretly build a passage on the two mountains, and only leave a small team to observe the enemy's situation in peacetime, and when the enemy army comes to attack, our army will go through the secret passage and surround him left and right, and take him by surprise. This can effectively prevent enemy attacks. Jia Guoan said in a voice.
General Wang thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that it was feasible, the soil quality of the northern land was suitable for building tunnels, and the two mountains were not far away, so he could send people to carry out it secretly.
Thinking of this, General Wang was overjoyed, and let Jia Guoan sit down and talked for a long time about the art of war and his views on practical matters.
The deeper the friendship, the more General Wang felt that Jia Guoan was good. Especially the elite soldiers and iron cavalry mentioned by Jia Guoan made him look forward to it.
"Jia An, I will appoint you as the captain of the elite cavalry and divide three thousand cavalry with you. Independent establishment, I hope you will cultivate the elite soldiers and iron horses you said, don't let me down. ”
"The last will obey. Jia Guoan knelt down on one knee and took the captain's order. With General Wang going to take over his first army.
