Dream of the Red Chamber: Start by gaining Zhao Yun's martial prowess, and be ennobled in a sin
Chapter 76 Those Who Sell Their Heads for Profit
Several people even jumped out to mock Jia Jing, saying:
"The tens of thousands of troops in the Ba Shang camp all follow the orders of the two marquises. The military governor must not make a mistake!"
"Outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, it's laughable!"
"The military governor is too young; he should go back and gain more experience over the years!"
……
Amidst the commotion, two lieutenant generals and seven or eight captains approached Marquis Linchuan and Marquis Zhongqin, surrounding them like stars around the moon.
Even more adept at flattery brought out chairs for both the Marquis of Linchuan and the Marquis of Zhongqin, allowing them to sit down and converse with Jia Jing.
The generals' personal guards surrounded the barracks, numbering no less than a thousand at a glance.
After greeting each of his generals, the Marquis of Linchuan, looking smug, smiled and asked Jia Jing:
"Governor, how about it? Now you can prove that what we two said was true!"
"Your Excellency should think twice before acting in the future! Otherwise, you'll make a fool of yourself and it won't be easy to clean up the mess!"
Jia Jing completely ignored the sarcasm and warning in the words of the Marquis of Linchuan, and carefully scanned all the military officers.
Then, pointing to a lieutenant general and several captains outside the barracks who had not yet spoken, he asked:
"Who are these people? Why aren't they standing beside the two marquises? Do they think what the two marquises said is wrong?"
Marquis Linchuan glared fiercely at Ma Guocheng and his men outside the barracks, adding another mark against them in his mind, and said coldly:
"These people have only been at the Bashang camp for a short time and don't understand military rules or respect their superiors. They'll face military law sooner or later. The military governor needn't bother with them!"
Then, changing his tone, he asked again in a loud and pressing voice:
"Commander! Now, most of the military officers in the army are willing to vouch for me and Marquis Zhongqin. Are you satisfied with this situation?"
"I am a second-rank official, and in terms of rank, I am above you! This is our Jingnan Wuxun's Bashang Camp. Governor, you'd better refrain from showing off your power in the future!"
As soon as the Marquis of Linchuan finished speaking, all the military officers and personal guards present felt honored, their heads held high and their expressions beaming.
Meanwhile, Ma Guocheng and the others outside the barracks sighed and looked grim, their eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction as they looked at Jia Jing!
I thought a powerful military governor had arrived and was going to reorganize the army, but it turns out he's just a spineless coward!
Inside the room, Jia Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing his pearly white teeth.
Seeing the Marquis of Linchuan and the Marquis of Zhongqin sitting there with such an air of confidence,
Finally, no longer concealing his purpose, he sneered:
"Well said! Well said! What a bunch of second-in-commands! What a bunch of traitors who seized power in the Jingnan Camp! What a bunch of cowards who sold their hands out! Now that everyone who should have jumped out has jumped out, it's time to close the net!"
Was Jia Jing's decision to back down first truly out of fear of the Marquis of Linchuan and the Marquis of Zhongqin?
With Jia Jing's current martial prowess, how could he possibly be afraid of the two of them!
His actions were solely intended to lure out all the high-ranking military officers of the Jingnan Wuxun regime and capture them all in one fell swoop!
This has two advantages: first, it distinguishes between friend and foe, making it easier to organize the troops later.
Otherwise, once Marquis Linchuan and Marquis Zhongqin are executed, the others will be frightened and might not dare to show their faces again, leaving hidden dangers for the reorganization of the army behind the Ba Shang camp.
Secondly, the strategy is to capture the leader first, to prevent other military officers from secretly instigating soldiers to launch a mutiny, which would have too great an impact.
Although Jia Jing was not afraid, he did not want to cause trouble for himself, and many ordinary soldiers were innocent people, so there was no need to involve them.
As soon as Jia Jing finished speaking, it happened in the blink of an eye.
With a heavy stomp of his foot, Jia Jing shot forward like an arrow, crashing into the Marquis of Linchuan and the other generals of the Ba Shang camp.
A series of cries of pain, screams, and astonishment rang out, before the personal guards, servants, captains, and lieutenant generals surrounding the Marquis of Linchuan could react.
They were thrown several meters away, their bones broken and tendons snapped, and they lost their ability to move in the blink of an eye.
The ground was filled with cries of agony and despair.
At this moment, Jia Jing's figure appeared beside the Marquis of Linchuan and the Marquis of Zhongqin like a ghost.
With a wave of his hand, the two of them tumbled heavily from their seats to the ground.
"Ouch!"
With a cry of pain, the two collapsed to the ground without any decorum, feeling as if their bodies had fallen apart.
The servants and guards protecting the two were shocked by Jia Jing's agility and were unsure whether to step forward and fight!
Marquis Linchuan, clutching his aching back that felt like it was about to break, stared at Jia Jing standing before him with disbelief on his face and roared angrily:
"Jia Jing, how dare you! We are all military officers of the imperial court, how dare you take matters into your own hands! I'll kill you! Where are the soldiers...?"
He then called his personal guards forward to fight.
Jia Jing, however, remained indifferent and silent. A murderous aura emanated from him, engulfing the entire scene.
To the astonishment of everyone present, he kicked the Marquis of Linchuan.
Before the Marquis of Linchuan could even scream, he was sent flying into the air.
Then, in mid-air, with a loud bang, it exploded into pieces!
The corpses and their flesh were scattered all over the people in the barracks, leaving only a head lying on the ground, rolling a few times with its eyes wide open in death.
Even until his death, the Marquis of Linchuan never imagined that Jia Jing would actually dare to kill him!
He was a second-class marquis in the imperial court, a powerful military commander who held real power over the Ba Shang camp! He also had the Emperor Emeritus backing him up!
Even if Emperor Jingsheng wanted to kill him, he would have to think twice.
Over the years, he has committed so many evil deeds: embezzling salaries without working, exploiting soldiers, seducing women, embezzling public funds, and allowing his troops to plunder...
Who dares to utter a single word?
He never imagined he would end up like this, and he certainly never expected that Jia Jing, who had just admitted defeat, would suddenly turn on him and kill someone.
Where did he get the guts?
After the body of the Marquis of Linchuan fell to the ground, Jia Jingfang addressed the stunned crowd:
"I didn't hold back properly; I originally intended to leave him with a complete corpse! After all, he's a military marshal of the imperial court; he deserves some respect!"
When Zhongqin Hou and the others came to their senses, they were filled with murderous intent and their faces were ashen.
Then, the personal guards and servants brought by the Marquis of Linchuan went berserk, drawing their swords and charging straight at Jia Jing.
Jia Jing simply waved his hand, and the personal guards who had been waiting in ambush immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.
The two sides were not even in the same league; Jia Jing's personal guards were all elite troops selected from the Liaodong border army.
The Marquis of Linchuan had not been on the battlefield for many years, and his personal guards were only good at bullying ordinary people.
Now, encountering Jia Jing's personal guards is like snowflakes meeting the sun; they collapsed to the ground in no time.
Of course, there were one or two brave and loyal men among them, but before they could reach Jia Jing, they were captured by Zhu Que and his men. Among them were important witnesses that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been watching for a long time, and they could not be killed like this!
The one-sided massacre on the field made the loyal and diligent Marquis and others' eyelids twitch.
"Jia Jing, do you know what you're doing? You've been massacring second-rank military officers of the imperial court without authorization, injuring so many lieutenant generals and colonels, and letting your troops run rampant in the military camp. This is a capital offense!"
Marquis Zhongqin shouted sternly.
Today's events have exceeded his expectations. The scene is chaotic, and all the Wu Xun of the Jingnan lineage are watching him, leaving him no room to back down.
Just now, he even dared to join the Marquis of Linchuan in intimidating Jia Jing.
But by this time, the Marquis of Linchuan was dead, and most of the other generals and colonels were seriously injured. The matter had escalated completely, and he found it difficult to make a decision. He only dared to question them verbally.
