Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Jia Dairu didn't listen at all. Sixty is the age when one should work hard. How could he just give up like that?

The current Jia Dairu is quite right in being described as being intolerant of all kinds of things.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng was exiled. After seeing Jia She off, all the people in the Rongguo Mansion were doing their own things.

In order to reassure Jia She, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai lived in Rongguo Mansion and helped Mrs. Xing look after the house.

Jia She looked at the stubborn Jia Dairu with helplessness on his face.

The team walked westward.

By the time they reached Yumen Pass, the calluses on Jia She's thighs had twitched and he could no longer feel the swelling or the burning pain.

Jia She has mastered the iron ingot magic skill and follows Niu Ben.

"Brother Xie, you have great perseverance!"

Looking at the tall city gate of Yumen Pass, Niu Ben praised Jia She.

Jia She, who came to Yumen Pass for the first time, could no longer hear the sound of oxen running, and poems about Yumen Pass kept flashing through his mind.

What is the meaning of grape wine in the luminous cup, what is the meaning of not returning until Loulan is conquered, what is the meaning of Qiang flute, why blame Yang
People always say that Tang poetry is different from Song lyrics. Unlike the gracefulness of Song lyrics, Tang poetry is full of heroism.

Frontier poems are the best among the heroic and tragic Tang poems.

When Jia She arrived at Yumen Pass, he had endless fantasies in his mind. Perhaps he could, like his predecessors, rein in his horse and head north to recover the country's lost territories.

"Pardon my brother?"

Niu Ben poked Jia She, and Jia She reacted and looked at Niu Ben.

"What's wrong, Brother Niu!"

"I just spoke to you, why didn't you respond?"

Jia She was confused. Did someone just call him?

"We're already here, what were you daydreaming about?"

Niu Ben raised his head towards the Yumen Pass guard who was greeting him at the door.

Jia She reacted and his eyes fell on the Yumen Pass guard who was greeting him not far away, and he suddenly realized.

"Brother Gang was so impressed by the majesty of Yumen Pass that he forgot about this!"

"Shall we dismount immediately?"

Jia She got off his horse one step ahead of Niu Ben.

Niu Ben followed closely behind, and the commander of Yumen Pass came over.

"General!"

The voice of the Yumen Pass commander who was walking over was filled with excitement about meeting Niu Ben.

The commander of Yumen Pass was named Li, and he had once worked under Niu Ben.

The two men who met expressed their friendship after not seeing each other for many years, which made Jia She seem a little redundant.

But Jia She didn't care.

Jia She was curious about the geographical features of Yumen Pass and kept his eyes on it.

After the two men exchanged greetings, the commander of Yumen Pass's eyes fell on Jia She.

"Your humble servant Li Bucai greets Lord Rong!"

The seven-foot-tall man bowed to Jia She.

Jia She, who knew the military rules well, did not dare to accept it and helped the man up.

"General Li, you are too polite. This time I came to Yumen Pass because of His Majesty's order."

"This battle with the Tatars is of vital importance to the Great Chu."

"I don't understand military affairs, and I can do very little to help in the war."

Before Jia She finished speaking, a look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of Li Bucai, the commander of Yumen Pass.

Many young men come to the Northwest to gild themselves every year. Some of these young men are genuine, while others are sent here by their families purely for gilding themselves.

Gilding is not scary, what is scary is that they do not know the rules and interfere in military affairs at will.

Jia She bent his waist.

"I know that I am not a capable person. Everything I have is just the blessing of my ancestors. Your Majesty sent me here just to encourage the soldiers in the northwest, not to interfere in military affairs."

"Please take good care of me!"

Jia She behaved very modestly.

If the joystick is not stiff enough, you have to bend down humbly.

Li Bucai returned the gift to Jia She.

"Marquis Rong is too polite. How could it be that Marquis Rong is really incompetent? Although I am in the northwest, I also know about Marquis Rong's great achievements in the salt administration in the south."

"It is because of Rong Hou's heroic deeds that the soldiers in the northwest can eat such good salt."

Niu Ben couldn't bear it anymore and looked at the two of them with disgust.

"We are all family, let's go!"

"Soldiers, we have arrived at Yumen Pass. Go inside and rest quickly!"

Niu Ben greeted the army coming from the capital as if they were at home.

The army began to set up camp one mile outside the south gate of Yumen Pass.

Jia She and Li Bucai were held on the left and right by Niu Ben and entered the pass.

There are more big noses in Yumen Pass than Jia She imagined.

As soon as he entered Yumen Pass, Jia She saw merchants coming and going.

The merchants were doing business with the merchants from Da Chu in Chinese with a strong accent of skewers.

"Brother Niu, how come you are so familiar with this place?"

Jia She asked Niu Ben, and Niu Ben glanced at Jia She who was speaking and couldn't help laughing.

“That’s where I was locked up.”

"If your majesty had not become the emperor, I would probably still be struggling here now."

Jia She turned his gaze to Li Bucai.

"This is my former deputy general!"

Niu Ben began to formally introduce Li Bucai to Jia She, and Li Bucai smiled at Jia She.

"Duke Daishan also rose from the northwest. Together with the old Duke Yin of Rong, the northwest can also be considered the home of Marquis Rong."

"Marquis Rong's trip to the northwest is considered a return home."

Jia She had no doubt about this. Jia Daishan and Jia Yin spent one-third of their lives in the northwest.

It is true that the Northwest is his second hometown.

"Let's go!"

"I have prepared a banquet at the Garrison, it is important to welcome the two brothers first!"

Li Bucai walked in front, leading the way for Jia She and Niu Ben all the way to the garrison. Jia She gained a lot of experience.

Although the wine is not valuable, it is really too much to put it aside in a box.

"I respect my two brothers!"

Li Bucai scooped a spoonful of wine from the jar and drank it, and Niu Ben followed suit and scooped a spoonful as well.

Niu Ben, who had drunk the wine, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

“It’s still authentic from the Northwest!”

"The wine brewed in Shenjing City is like horse urine, and there are those foreign merchants."

"They're trying to trick people with something diluted with water!"

"Brother Xie, please try it!"

Niu Ben drank by himself while greeting Jia She.

Jia She imitated Niu Ben and Li Bucai, scooped a spoonful and drank it. It was indeed different from the one in Shenjing City.

The wine in Shenjing City tastes a bit astringent, but this wine is not only not astringent, but also has the sweet and refreshing fragrance of fruit wine.

Not bad!

"Pardon the Lord!"

Someone else toasted, and the person who toasted was a man who looked very young.

Jia She looked at Niu Ben and Li Bucai.

Li Bucai introduced Jia She.

"Does Lord Rong still remember Humen Pass?"

Jia She's eyes fell on the young man in front of him and he looked him up and down.

"Are you the third son of the Cheng family?"

Of course he remembered Humen Pass, and Jia She revealed the identity of the young man in front of him in one sentence.

This is Cheng Sanlang.

"Greetings, Lord Sherlock!"

Cheng Sanlang's face was very young. It was hard to believe that Cheng Erlang would go so far as to collaborate with the enemy to deal with the young man in front of him.

"Why aren't you at Humen Pass?"

Jia She asked Cheng Sanlang, the Cheng family's foundation is in Humen Pass.

Cheng Sanlang's development in Humen Pass will definitely be better than in Yumen Pass.

However, Cheng Sanlang did not choose Humen. Cheng Sanlang gave Jia She a bitter smile. The emperor had finally taken control of Humen Pass. How could he let the Cheng family stay in Humen Pass?

But it is also a good thing not to leave Humen. A big tree attracts the wind. The Cheng family can no longer do this. Getting rid of the rotten roots may be a new beginning.

Cheng Sanlang bowed to Jia She.

"The situation at Humen is severe, and I am young, so I submitted a letter to His Majesty, requesting to be transferred to Yumen Pass as a deputy general first. After I gain experience, I will consider whether to continue to return to Humen."

Jia She looked at the young man in front of him and nodded slightly.

He is a man who knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the emperor's mind.

Not bad, Jia She praised in his heart.

"Work hard and don't let down General Cheng's reputation!"

Jia She patted Cheng Sanlang on the shoulder, and Cheng Sanlang nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, Lord She, I will live up to my father's expectations and be loyal to the Great Chu!"

Jia She nodded again in his heart.

It's a good idea to have this in mind.

Cheng Sanlang went back and sat down. Li Bucai asked Jia She about the emperor's preparation to send troops. Jia She told Li Bucai about the emperor's plan, and Li Bucai's face was full of caution.

"Can Princess Jincheng be trusted, Lord Rong?"

Li Bucai was a little worried.

Li Bucai, who was in the northwest and had been in contact with the Tatars for many years, knew best the Tatars' capricious moods.

Just like the Humen Pass, how did the Humen Pass fall? Apart from the betrayal of Cheng Jia Erlang, the rest was due to the deception of the Tatars.

In this case, will Princess Jincheng really cooperate with Da Chu?

If I remember correctly, Princess Jincheng was the most beloved daughter of the old Tatar Khan. She was also a flower on the grassland and was highly praised by the Tatar people.

"Zi Teng!"

Jia She uttered three words.

"Princess Jincheng and Prince Teng were pregnant with a son and a daughter. I don't know what happened later, but the old Tatar Khan threw the two children to death with his own hands."

"General Li is at Yumen Pass. Does he know about this?"

Jia She was also worried that there was a fraud here, what if it was a fraud.

By doing this, Da Chu is completely destroying itself.

Li Bucai frowned.

"Marquis Rong, give me some time!"

Li Bucai whispered a few words in the ear of the general beside him, and a Semu man with a high nose and deep eyes was brought in.

In Yumen Pass, Li Bucai had three sources of information. The first was the informant arranged by the emperor in Tatar, the second was Yumen Pass's own scouts, and the third was the Seljuq merchants who had defected to Da Chu.

These merchants traveled from west to east, and through the places they passed, there was a mixture of Hu and Han people, and they did business with the Tatars.

He is more well-informed than the emperor's informants who are rooted in the Tatars.

The Semitic merchant that Li Bucai recruited was one of the Semitic people who often wandered around in Tatar territory.

"General!"

Li Bucai looked at the Semites who were saluting below and nodded slightly.

"Has there been any major incidents in Tatar recently?"

The Seljuq man's eyes swept over the faces of the people in the hall one by one. Some of these people were people he knew, while others were not.

But most of them were people he didn't know. He understood that the Great Chu was going to go to war with the Tatars, so the Semites talked about the situation of the Tatars with their eyes and noses and their noses and their hearts.

"General, something big has happened in Tatar recently."

"A month ago, I was traveling to Tatar for business and heard from the local Tatar tribe that the twins born to Princess Jincheng had died."

This matches what Jia She said about the old Tatar Khan who killed a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

"Also, are there any rumors among the Tatars about why he died?"

Li Bucai continued to ask.

The Semites answered honestly.

"Said it was smallpox!"

Li Bucai looked at everyone in the room. Every year, countless people died from smallpox on the grassland.

However, not many people died of smallpox within the royal court.

Smallpox is not a truly incurable disease. The medical methods of the ancients were backward, but that does not mean there is no way to cure it.

With so many resources piled up, the death of two people is really rare.

The Semites retreated, and Jia She looked at Li Bucai.

"Is it possible to confirm that Princess Jincheng now?"

Li Bucai nodded slightly.

"Princess Jincheng is willing to support her younger brother to ascend to the throne and is willing to completely hand over the three provinces of Mobei and Liaodong to the Great Chu. Your Majesty is also willing to recover these two lost territories."

"This time, we are going to encircle and suppress the Tatars, in addition to saving the Later Jin, this is the only purpose!"

Jia She's hand gently fell on the table.

Li Bucai continued to ask questions.

"Is Princess Jincheng ready?"

"The old Tatar Khan is not a real mediocre person. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to have a conflict with Suotu and want to kill him!"

Anyone who truly achieves great things understands the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

If you lose your composure before the great thing is accomplished, at best you will end up with nothing, at worst you will lose yourself.

Meanwhile, Princess Jincheng, who was under house arrest in Tatar, was also thinking about how to get the news to Da Chu.

"Your Highness!"

Turan carried the food in his hand into the tent of the imprisoned Princess Jincheng, and Princess Jincheng looked at her maid.

"How about it?"

Princess Jincheng asked in a low voice, and Turan shook his head at Princess Jincheng.

"The news can't get out, Your Highness!"

"The Khan is beginning to take precautions against you!"

"What about Sotu, how is Sotu now?"

Princess Jincheng then asked Turan, and Turan shook his head again.

"What does shaking your head mean?"

Turan lowered his head, afraid of lowering Princess Jincheng's stimulating voice.

"The Khan will treat Suotu as usual"

Listening to Turan's mosquito-like voice, Princess Jincheng frowned as she didn't hear clearly.

"How is the Khan?"

"The Khan treats Suotu as before"

Turan raised his voice a little and looked at Princess Jincheng carefully.

Princess Jincheng's reaction was not significant, which made Turan even more worried.

"Your Highness."

Turan called out to Princess Jincheng carefully, and Princess Jincheng's eyes fell on Turan.

"I'm fine!"

"Turan, do you have any way to help me spread the news?"

Turan didn't dare to raise his head.

"The Khan is now on high alert against the princess. Although I have gained his trust, I cannot leave the tent too far."

"Where's my Am?"

"You might see me Am?"

Princess Jincheng's mother, Zhuoya, was the sixth Khatun of the old Tatar Khan. She was famous for her beauty, and the Ordos tribe of Tatar was behind her.

The tribe is not large in Tatar territory, but it is one of the medium-sized tribes.

In this war against the Later Jin Dynasty, the old Tatar Khan sent out many tribes.

The Ordos tribe was not sent out because it was the tribe of his favorite concubine.

This gave Princess Jincheng the opportunity to realize her ambitions.

Turan didn't dare to agree outright.

"I'm not sure about that, Your Highness."

"If the Khatun can come to see you, Your Highness, I will be able to see you!"

Princess Jincheng nodded slightly. Her mother must be worried when she saw her imprisoned, and now she should be trying to find a way to see her.

"How is Adul doing lately?"

Jincheng started to worry about her younger brother again. Whether things could succeed or not depended on her younger brother.

Turan bowed to Jincheng.

"Don't worry Princess, the little prince is always fine."

"He has been in contact with Khatun's family recently, and the Ordos tribe has also agreed to help!"

Princess Jincheng is relieved. It's good to be able to help! (End of this chapter)
