Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 384: The Jia Family’s Reactions

"What did you say? All the people I arranged to go to the Northeast were sent back. I arranged for them to become disciples of my Jia family. How could they be sent back? Tell me what happened?"

The messenger smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and told everything he had heard. By the time he had finished speaking, Grandmother Jia and everyone in the Jia family were furious.

"These people just can't stand to see our family doing well. We finally have a young man who is successful, and we want him to help the other members of the family. But we didn't expect that before we even started, it would be ruined by these people. Why are they so mean?"

"Big brother, second brother, you have also heard that these families do not take the Jia family seriously at all. It is because of them that our talents were rejected. We must not let them go. You must remember their names and find a chance to retaliate in the future."

Jia She and Jia Zheng nodded together. As for whether to take revenge or not, they would talk about it later. They could actually take action instead of just talking about it. They were no match for so many people.

They were even somewhat relieved, and Jia Zheng said directly.

"Mother, you don't have to be sad. This is actually a good thing for them. The war at Shanhaiguan is imminent. If we arrange to go there, with so few people facing such a war, we might be wiped out. Even if someone comes back alive, it will probably be only 1/10. It's better for them to come back wholeheartedly like now."

Jia She also mentioned this at this time.

"What the second brother said is true. If we send these people from our family to the battlefield, what kind of ability can they have? Sending them to the battlefield is just sending them to die. If it is a small fight, it's fine. They can make some achievements and then quickly retreat. But if we send them to this kind of large-scale war, it will be basically no different from the history of the Song Dynasty."

"Now, they can come back safely, which is also their good fortune. Although they were suppressed this time, isn't it also a chance to survive? Don't talk about whether they hate those noble children and their families. In my opinion, they should be grateful to them."

"Without them, I'm afraid that few of us younger generations would be able to come back."

Although the two brothers' words were meant to comfort Lady Jia and tell them not to conflict with those nobles, Lady Jia felt relieved when she thought about it. After all, it was much better for these people to come back safely than to let them stay on the battlefield and wait to die at any time.

Who could have thought that the war in Shanhaiguan would suddenly change from a minor fight to a war that was about to break out. If the war really started, not to mention the people of the Jia family, even the generals could lose their lives at any time. In this case, not going to the battlefield is the best choice.

After realizing this, Grandmother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but it also reminded her of the only person in the Jia family who was still on the battlefield.

"Everyone else has returned, only Brother Qi is still on the battlefield. I don't know if he's in danger."

The old lady's words sounded like concern, but the reality was that she hoped that the boy would be in some danger, and it would be best if he could not come back. In this way, he would be able to carry out many of his plans, but he could not say such words out loud. However, he made some people interested in him move.

Especially Mrs. Wang, when she heard what Grandmother Jia said, she felt sad. After such a long time, her second brother still hadn't dealt with that kid. If he had dealt with that kid, wouldn't the boy's title fall to Baoyu? It's a pity that he is really lucky and has lived to this day, but now he is afraid that he will not live for many days. The war is about to break out. He is just a small general who lives overseas. If he really participates in such a war, he will surely die.

However, even though she knew that the other party had a high chance of death, Mrs. Wang was still a little worried. She even went back to write a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng was very busy during this period, busy with defense, busy with preparation, busy with resisting the enemy, so he forgot some things. When he received the letter, he remembered that he had forgotten someone.

"I was so confused that I actually forgot about this kid. But it's not too late to remember now. I failed to kill you several times before, so you can't survive this time. If I don't kill you this time, I won't be called Wang."

In any case, Wang Ziteng was also the supreme leader of these hundreds of thousands of troops, so he quickly issued an order to let Pi Daojun attack the northeast region. No matter what kind of attack it was, as long as it could effectively strike the enemy, it would be considered a success.

And, there must be some results every day.

The order was extremely heavy, but no matter how harsh it was, when it was passed to Jia Lu, he had to carry it out.

But there is a saying that goes, a general in a foreign country is not subject to military orders. Since they want me to contain these bastards, I will naturally use my own method.

Jia Wei was well prepared this time. Among his men, there were many experts. It would be easy for him to deal with those tens of thousands of new recruits. However, he did not want to do so. To him, this war was caused by him. If he succeeded in signing and the war could not be fought, then all his efforts would be in vain.

So after he obeyed the order, he behaved very actively and even kept the other party in the army. He led tens of thousands of troops and marched towards the military sea. When he arrived at the first seaport, he said to the military who came over.

"As you can see, we can go directly to the inland of Northeast China by following this road. However, when we first came here, there were no obstacles along the way. But now it is a bit difficult. General Wan has set up two layers of defense along the way."

"The first line of defense is the two military camps not far from the estuary. Although the military camps are a bit far from the coastal areas, it only takes a short time to reach them by boat. If we want to pass through there, we must not only eliminate the soldiers in the military camps, but also cut off all the chains they have placed across the river. Otherwise, we will not be able to enter at all."

"Besides that, they have a second line of defense. In addition to these soldiers and chains, they have chains and ropes on every narrow section of the river. Some are even hidden under the water. If you sail into it without careful inspection, it is easy to cause irreversible damage."

"If there is a problem with the ship, our progress will be greatly slowed down, and they have people guarding every area. If we get into trouble, they will definitely pick out a large number of people and capture us all at the first opportunity."

“So I think this place is not suitable for landing.”
