Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 197 Three High Figures 1
  "Brothers, drink to win!" Jia Cong picked up half a bowl of water for wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drink, my lord!" All the soldiers raised their necks and drank.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, walked off the stage, and waved to Wang Jin and others.

Everyone gathered in a house next to the school grounds with rice bowls and cakes.

"Sit down, let's talk while we eat." Jia Cong sat down on the kang, dipped in the broth and pickled vegetables, and ate pancakes.

Everyone sat down as instructed, without moving their chopsticks.

"Eat, eat, eat, watch what I do." Jia Cong waved his hand and finished his dinner.

Everyone hurriedly followed and finished the meal.

"Not only will I have a great time fighting with you, but I'll also have a great time eating the food!" You Jia said with a smile. It was impossible to have meat every meal, let alone the border fortress, even among the Imperial City's imperial guards.

Everyone laughed: "Your Majesty is rich in wealth and generous and kind. We are very lucky."

"It's all within our ability. We can support one or two thousand people. If there are more, I can't bear it." Jia Cong said with a smile: "Have the battle losses been calculated?"

"Yes!" Fan Ming hurriedly swallowed the pancake in his mouth, took out a pamphlet, and read: "After this battle, our army lost a total of 946 people, including 534 frontier soldiers and 412 prisoners; 216 were seriously injured. , 317 people were slightly injured; about % of weapons, crossbows, armor, and equipment were damaged. % of kerosene, gunpowder, dry firewood, etc. were consumed, and % of medicines were consumed."

Jia Cong sighed. The loss was not small, but fortunately the result was not small. He asked again: "How much benefit was gained?"

Everyone was refreshed and stared at Fan Ming.

Fan Ming said with a smile on his face: "Preliminary statistics show that a total of more than 9800 Tatars were annihilated, more than 4000 Tatar war horses were gathered, about 3000 shi of dried meat, cheese, grain, etc. were seized, about kilograms of forage, and countless arrows, knives and guns. "

"Okay!" Everyone clenched their fists and pounded their palms.

Jia Cong felt better now and said: "Although everything is fine here, we still need to send more detective horses to various places to find out information."

"The humble positions have been arranged." You Jiaxi and Yu Hong said hurriedly.

Jia Cong nodded and said: "From tomorrow onwards, the entire army will rest together, Commander Wang."

"The humble post is here!" Wang Jin stood up and promised.

"You are responsible for the training of the entire army and horses. Now that we have enough horses, I want everyone to become a hero on horseback!"

"Order!"

"Except for the generals of the Spark Camp and the Trap Camp, the three of you, Lei Tai, Monk, and Xie Hui, set up another battalion named Dare to Die. Lei Tai has been the leader, so this battalion will be led by him. You two Assistance, you can choose whoever you need."

All three of them looked happy, bowed and said, "I humbly obey my orders."

"In addition, a hundred clever and skilled riders were sent out to form the horse exploration camp, under the command of Wang Fei, who will be responsible for delivering news and inquiring about military intelligence."

Wang Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I humble my position and thank you, you will definitely fulfill your mission." Others used to have three people in charge of one battalion, but now he has one man in charge of one battalion, which is really a good use.

Jia Cong glanced at him and said, "I know you are smarter than a monkey, which is a good thing. But since you are in the army, you can't do what you did in the past, otherwise it will be a pity for you. Do you understand?"

Nowadays, Jia Cong has personally experienced bloody battles, killing people everywhere, and his temperament and momentum have changed drastically. There is no need to be angry and angry, just a simple glance is enough to scare Xiao Xiao.

Wang Fei was beaten by Jia Cong, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all. He said hurriedly: "I have already corrected my past mistakes, and I have been favored by you. How can I dare to make mistakes again? I have a small head. If I fail to live up to my kindness, I will help you." , God won’t allow it.”

Jia Cong raised his hand to let him get up, "It's good that you know."

Seeing that the arrangements were almost complete, Jia Cong suddenly remembered something and waved Yan Shuangying in.

"Can the two soldiers who died in battle be cremated and buried?"

"Go back to Third Master, I've already done it myself." Yan Shuangying nodded with a relieved look on his face. After all, they were playmates who grew up together.

Jia Cong nodded, feeling a little sad, and said: "Put away their belongings and send them home in the future. In addition, please ask the two presidents to recommend two more soldiers to me. They should be of good fortune, good nature, and young. Those with hard skills." You Jiaxi and Yu Hong hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

"You all go and do your work." Jia Cong let everyone go and pondered alone for a long time before slowly getting up and patrolling around the city.

First, we went to the wounded barracks and saw that because there was enough food and medicine, the slightly injured could recover quickly, and the seriously injured could save their lives. All of them were grateful to Jia Cong.

"All lie down, all lie down. Brothers can rest in peace and recuperate. There are food and drink in the camp, and there are medicines and military doctors. I will never give up on any brother." Jia Cong comforted them with gentle words.

All the wounded soldiers burst into tears, clasping their fists and saying, "We are willing to die for your lord."

Jia Cong came out and walked around the city wall again. The light and dark sentries were well arranged everywhere. He nodded slightly. Although Yu Hong and You Jiaxi were mediocre in martial arts, they also knew military strategy well.

Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, which resembles a beauty's eyebrows, Jia Cong couldn't help but have several beautiful figures emerge in his mind. Finally, he deeply felt the ancients' feelings of wandering around the world and homesickness. It was precisely because of such profound feelings that he could feel like this. Many good sentences.

I couldn't help but sigh softly and exhale a breath of white mist.

It was already early October, and the cold wind was already biting in Liaodong. Yan Shuangying hurriedly stepped forward and put a crane cloak on him.

"Third Master, be careful. It's late at night and it's cold. Why don't you go back to your room to rest."

Jia Cong said: "How can you be so delicate?"

Looking at the big cloak presented by Wang Xifeng, I couldn't help but smile. Although Sister Feng was cruel and greedy for money, she was not a stingy person. She was a typical "three highs" person, with high IQ, high EQ, and high methods. No wonder she was toying with Jia Lian. Like coaxing a child.

  As Jia Cong expected, Wang Xifeng was teasing his son Jia Lian in the sacred city at this moment.

"Master Guojiu has been very busy these days and has been working hard. Today I am returning home. I have prepared a glass of water and wine to dust off the dust. Do you want to give me a gift?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "How dare you? How dare you bear more." On the one hand, Ping'er and all the maids paid their respects and offered tea.

Jia Lian asked a few questions about his family affairs during his stay in Yangzhou, and thanked Sister Feng for her hard work.

Sister Feng said: "How can I take care of these things? I have little knowledge, a stupid tongue, and a straightforward heart. If someone gives me a mallet, I will regard it as a needle. My face is soft, and I can't bear a few kind words from others, so I will be compassionate in my heart." .

You know, among all the housekeepers and grandmothers in our family, which one is the easy one? If something was wrong, they would make jokes, but if something was wrong, they would point fingers at Sang and complain about Huai.

‘Sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight’, ‘Killing with a borrowed knife’, ‘Inducing wind and blowing fire’, ‘Standing on a dry bank’, ‘Pushing over the oil bottle without helping it’, are all martial arts skills of the whole family. Besides, I am young and I am not above others, so I have to be ignored. "

Just as he was talking, he heard someone talking outside, and Sister Feng asked, "Who is it?"

Ping'er came in and replied: "My concubine sent Sister Xiangling to ask me a question. I have already said it and sent her back."

Jia Lian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "That's right. Just now when I went to see my aunt, I accidentally bumped into a young girl who looked very neat. I doubted that there was such a person in our family. When I spoke, I asked Auntie, who knew it was the little girl who came to Beijing to buy it, her name is Xiang Ling, and that idiot Xue has quite good taste."

Sister Feng sneered and said: "Hey! After a trip to Yangzhou, it's time to see some of the world, but I'm still so greedy. If you love her, what's it worth? How about I trade Ping'er with Brother Cong?" "

Jia Lian asked curiously: "What does my aunt's girl have to do with Brother Cong?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Your uncle is busy with things, but you don't know that this girl Xiangling has been targeted by Brother Cong for a long time, and he forcefully asked Bao Yatou to keep him by his side, just to prevent that idiot Xue from getting there first.

Boss Xue was also 'eating from the bowl and looking at the pot'. These days, he and his aunt fought many famines to get Xiangling. In the end, Bao Yatou said, if you want Xiangling, ask Brother Cong first. . He just stopped.

You brothers have the same views. If you open your mouth, there is no guarantee that Brother Cong will give up his love. "

Jia Lian shrank his neck and said with a sneer: "Nonsense. There is no reason for an elder brother to ask for a woman from his younger brother. Brother Cong likes Xiangling. It's too late for me to be beautiful as an adult. How can I seize love with a knife and make people laugh?"

He had seen Jia Cong's majesty with his own eyes, let alone Xiangling, even Chang'e descended to earth. As long as Jia Cong took his fancy, he would have a hundred courage and would not dare to lift a finger.

Wang Xifeng knew what kind of person he was and said with a smile: "Second Master and Brother Cong are so friendly and respectful, I am happy to see them."

Suddenly I heard a report from a young man: "The master is waiting for the second master in the big study room."

After hearing this, Jia Lian hurriedly dressed and went out.
