The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 502 Returning to Beijing
After listening to Jia Ke's order, Liu Yu immediately ordered his own soldiers to send orders in all directions.In a short while, hundreds of thousands of troops began to set up camp.

Only about an hour later, the camp was settled.

At this time Liu Yu came over and asked Jia Ke to sit down in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Jia Ke then went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army with his own soldiers. When Jia Ke arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, the envoys and general soldiers from all walks of life had already been waiting for a long time.

Jia Ke didn't talk nonsense, and directly sat on the big seat in the middle and said to them: "Just now I received the news that the emperor has assigned me as the Duke of Yan, and the prime minister is also in charge of the military. The imperial decree is here, take it and have a look." look."

Then Liu Yu took the imperial decree from the side and sent it to the generals below. They opened the imperial decree and circulated it one by one. After reading it, they were all beaming with joy.

Seeing their excited faces, Jia Ke felt a little happy in his heart. It took him more than ten years since he traveled to the present to finally reach this step.

Seeing that they had read the imperial decree, Jia Ke said to them, "This matter is not over yet. I have also received news that the Supreme Emperor has passed away. The commander-in-chief is going to lead all the cavalry immediately and march forward with light cavalry. To reach the capital."

The generals standing under the tent, when they heard what Jia Ke said, they all cupped their hands and said: "If there is anything to do, please give orders to the commander, and I will follow orders."

Jia Ke nodded and said to Taiyuan Jiedushi Wang Zuo: "After I go, you will temporarily lead the soldiers and continue to the capital. They must arrive in the capital within three days."

Wang Zuo stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Commander, please don't worry, the army will rest for one night today, and tomorrow I will lead the army to set off immediately, and I promise to arrive in the capital within two days, and the affairs of the commander will not be missed."

Jia Ke nodded and said to Liu Yu who was beside him, "You immediately gather the cavalry of the whole battalion and wait for me outside the camp. We will set off immediately."

Liu Yu took Jia Ke's order and immediately went out of the tent to prepare to go.

When Jia Ke saw that the matter was arranged, she called the messenger to her face and asked, "What happened in the capital? Why did Mr. Fan act in advance?"

The person who sent the letter was also Fan Kang's confidant named Feng Ku, who served as a general in the infantry commanding yamen. Since Fan Kang replaced Jia Ke in managing the infantry commanding the yamen, he actively moved closer to Fan Kang, and now many infantrymen Fan Kang will let him do everything in the commanding yamen.

Hearing Jia Ke's question, Feng Ku cupped his hands and said, "Marshal Qi, in the capital, Mr. Fan got the news that the emperor used the people in the imperial army to attack the three mansions on Ningrong Street desperately. Only then did the master lead his troops to surround the imperial city."

When Jia Ke heard that the emperor sent troops to attack the three mansions, he frowned a little. He didn't expect the emperor to have such courage this time, but in the face of absolute power, all his calculations were in vain.

After Jia Ke understood the cause and effect, she felt relieved about the affairs of the capital. As for how the Supreme Emperor died, it would not be too late for him to find out after he returned.

After Jia Ke and Feng Ku, the general who came to deliver the letter, finished talking about the major events in the capital, they said to the generals standing below: "There's nothing else to do, you all go back and rest, I can leave by myself in a while."

Who would have thought that the following generals would not follow him just after he finished speaking, "How can this be done, Commander, we must send it away."

When Jia Ke saw that they insisted on sending them off, Jia Ke's personal soldiers came to report that [-] cavalry were ready outside the camp.

Jia Ke then stood up and went straight out of the tent, and all the generals followed Jia Ke out of the big tent together and got on their horses.Then Jia Ke came to the outside of the barracks amidst the stars and the moon surrounded by these people.

And at this time outside the barracks, [-] cavalry were ready, and when Jia Ke came, they all saluted the invincible commander.

Jia Ke came to the front of the team and only said, "Let's go." Then he urged the horse to go forward, and the cavalry behind him galloped forward together.

The generals who were sending Jia Ke off behind watched the galloping cavalry until they disappeared before returning to the camp.

Taiyuan Jiedu envoy Wang Zuo led the generals back to the tent of the Chinese army. Once Wang Zuo was rude and sat directly on the chief seat, and then said to the generals standing below: "When the commander-in-chief was leaving, he told me to command Three armies, brothers, I will not be polite, and I will issue orders now."

All the generals who were waiting clapped their hands together and said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome, just give orders."

Wang Zuo nodded and said: "Don't mess up the formation when marching tomorrow, and advance in the order of front and back according to the general's division method. I will sit in the middle army to reinforce the left and right. What's the difference between the generals?"

Several people below said together: "There is no difference between the last general and others, everything follows the military orders of the adults."

"Since that's the case, let's set off immediately after breakfast tomorrow. I have sworn to the commander that I will arrive in the capital within three days. Whoever is holding me back is not allowed by the military law."

After Wang Zuo finished this sentence, he ordered the account to be disbanded, and they slowly set off to the capital without mentioning it.

It only said that Jia Ke led [-] cavalry and galloped towards the capital without stopping. By midnight, he had already arrived at the city wall of the capital.

At this time, the scouts from the three battalions outside the city had already reported Jia Ke's whereabouts to the three generals of the three battalions.

So Zheng Kai, Ma Zuo, and Xiao Yueren all came to the gate of the capital to welcome Jia Ke.

Jia Ke also received a report from the vanguard in front, saying that the generals of the three major battalions were meeting the commander at the gate of the city, so Jia Ke stopped the army and brought his own soldiers to the front of the cavalry.

As soon as Jia Ke came to the front, he saw 2000 people ahead, and standing in front of them happened to be his three favorite generals.

The three of Zheng Kai got off their horses as soon as they saw Jia Ke appearing, walked a few steps in front of Jia Ke, knelt down and saluted him together.

Sitting on the horse, Jia Ke smiled and said to them, "I haven't seen you for a few days, is there any need to greet them? Get up."

Zheng Kai and the other three dared to stand up when they heard Jia Ke's words, and then came to Jia Ke's side and cupped their hands and said, "The last general waits for the delay in welcoming the commander-in-chief, and I hope the commander-in-chief will forgive me."

Jia Ke got a little impatient and said, "That's enough, don't repeat such polite words, get on your horses and follow me, and let's enter the capital together."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Zheng Kai happily returned to his horses, got on their horses and led their one or two thousand soldiers, entered among Jia Ke's twenty thousand cavalry, and ran towards the gate of the city together.

When Jia Ke led the army to the gate of Songsheng in the capital, the city guard who commanded the infantry had already spotted Jia Ke's men.

They watched carefully from the top of the city, and saw tens of thousands of cavalry approaching the city wall. Some of them dared not neglect, and immediately sent people to the city to report to Fan Kang.

Jia Ke led the cavalry to the gate of the city and saw that the gate was tightly closed. He knew that the capital would never open the gate at this time, so he ordered people to shout to the people in the city that he, Jia Ke, was back.

This task fell to Liu Yu. He rode to the city gate and shouted to the people above: "I am the Duke of Yan. Seeing that our lord has returned, immediately open the city gate and let our lord enter the city."

Hearing Liu Yu yelling at the gate above, he felt a little panicked, and knew that Jia Ke was really the uncrowned king of the world now, and if he offended him, his life might be lost.But I was responsible, so I didn't dare to open the door at will, so I had to shout down: "Please forgive me, my lord below, I will accuse you again of not daring to open the city gate at will, please wait a moment, our Lord Fan The book will arrive soon, and only he will be the one to decide."

Jia Ke nodded when he heard the voice of the city gate officer from a distance. The city gate officer was not bad, and he did not forget his duties just because of his name.It seems to be a good level of dedication.

After Liu Yu heard his words, he did not embarrass the city gate officer at the top of the city. He knew that what the city gate officer said was reasonable, so Boma returned to Jia Ke and reported to him.

Jia Ke nodded, and said to the chief sergeant, "Everyone wait under the head of the city, it won't be too late to enter the city later."

Besides, Fan Kang just fell asleep in the mansion, and suddenly he heard the maid outside knocking on the door.

His wife next to Fan Kang was a little upset, "Xiao He, go outside to find out which unlucky ghost is the one who reminded you, why did you knock on the door in the middle of the night."

Xiao He, the maid who was sleeping outside, hurried to the door after hearing Madam's words, opened the door and saw that it was another little maid who was guarding the yard.

"What's going on? The master just fell asleep, and you are going to die. Now there is a knock on the door." Xiao He said a little unhappy.

Seeing that it was Xiaohe, the servant girl said with a sigh of relief: "Hurry up and report to the master, someone at the gate of the city has sent a message, saying that Duke Yan has returned to Beijing, and he is waiting at the gate of the city with his troops. Let the master go and have a look."

After hearing what he said, Xiao He was also a little anxious, but she knew that their master was the confidant of Yan Guogong Jia Ke.

So Xiao He closed the door again and came to Fan Kang's bed in the inner room, calling softly: "Master, are you awake?"

Fan Kang on the bed said: "Hurry up and prepare clothes for me. Since it is Yan Guogong who is back, I have to hurry up and say hello."

So Fan Kang immediately got up and changed his clothes. After getting dressed, he brought a few guards to the front yard, and saw a soldier waiting there.

While the soldier was waiting anxiously in front of him, he suddenly saw a group of guards outside the living room, surrounded by a middle-aged scribe walking in.

The little soldier knew that the man in the middle must be Fan Kang, so he hurried forward and knelt down to salute Fan Kang.

Fan Kang didn't make things difficult for him, he quickly got him up, and then asked: "What's going on, please explain it to me in detail."

"My lord, just now tens of thousands of cavalry came from outside the city gate and shouted to the top of the city, saying that Lord Yan came back to the capital with his men and horses. Our chief dared not open the city gate casually, so he sent me to ask your lord. How can I do?"

Fan Kang was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that Jia Ke got his letter and rode lightly to the capital overnight.It must be Jia Ke who is under the tower now.

So Fan Kang summoned the guards, and everyone rode horses outside the gate of the mansion and went straight to the city gate.

When Fan Kang came to the gate of the city, the city gate officer hurried up to greet him, "I have seen you before, but I am late to welcome you, please forgive me."

"You don't need to be too polite. Follow me to the city gate to see if Duke Yan is back."

After Fan Kang finished speaking, he took the lead to go up the city tower, and then the city gate officer and Fan Kang's guards rushed forward, escorting Fan Kang to the top of the city.
