Chapter nine hundred and forty seventh borrowing prestige
"The general was injured and unconscious, and there was no food in the city. We could only wait for death. So I think it would be better to go out. I don't believe that those Jurchens can block our 50,000 army!" As soon as Zhao Jia came outside the meeting hall, he heard a general shouting loudly from inside.
"No, the general has already said that the Jurchens wish we could leave Liaoyang Prefecture and retreat, so that they could repeat the tragedy of attacking Xiao Yanshou's army all the way, so this matter is absolutely not feasible. The best way is to stay here and wait for reinforcements!" As soon as the other party finished speaking, another general's voice sounded. This time Zhao Jia heard it. This voice was from General Cui yesterday.
"But now the soldiers in the city are already rumoring this. Although many people don't believe it very much, if the general is unable to show up for a long time, he will definitely confirm that he was injured and coma. If all the soldiers in the city know about this, it will definitely cause a fluctuation in the morale of the army. In addition, there is no food in the city, it will probably be difficult to block the attack of the Jurchens." At this time, another general whispered.
The general's words hit the nail on the head. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little silent. Even General Cui no longer spoke. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Jia hurried in to report: "Report to all generals, their subordinates have captured a group of assassins in the city again. They should belong to the same group as the assassins last night, and they all would rather die than surrender. Now all the bodies have been carried over!"
"Assassin? Where did the assassin come again?" The generals in the chamber were a little annoyed at this time. One of them asked impatiently when he heard Zhao Jia's words.
"Report to the general, after his subordinates returned yesterday, they couldn't understand why the assassins were ambushing near the general's observation of the battle situation. Later, I suddenly realized that all this was a series of plans designed by the Jurchens, and every step was linked..."
Zhao Jia said as he talked about the triple trap of the Jurchens that he thought of, which made General Cui and the others look at him in surprise. They did not expect that such a young guard beside General Hu Yan could actually see through the triple trap of the Jurchens. Although this was calculated later, it was enough to show his extraordinary insight.
Although Zhao Jia's performance surprised them, compared to the difficulties faced by the city, the assassin's affairs were only trivial matters. Therefore, after listening to Zhao Jia's words, the General Cui said with a calm expression: "I did a good job. We already know about this. The bodies of the Jurchen assassins were hung on the city tower, which can be regarded as a lesson for the Jurchens outside the city. There is nothing else to do. Please retreat for now!"
However, Zhao Jia was a little hesitant at this time. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "Dear generals, General Hu Yan treats me like a nephew. I felt uncomfortable when he was attacked yesterday. I just don't know what the general is doing now. Have you woken up?"
Originally, Hu Yanping's physical condition should be a secret in the army, but Zhao Jia just made a contribution, and he was the personal guard beside Hu Yanping. He also personally experienced Hu Yanping's assassination yesterday. So there was no need to hide it from him. Therefore, General Cui said again: "The general is still the same. The medical officer said that it will take several days for the general to wake up."
Hearing Hu Yanping, he was still not awake. Although the medical officer said that there was no life danger before, Zhao Jia could not help but feel a little worried, and at the same time he blamed himself again. If he could block the arrow yesterday, not only would his Uncle Ping not have any trouble, but the 50,000 troops in the city would not have fallen into such a situation.
"Okay, you don't have to worry. The general will wake up sooner or later. You'd better go down and rest. We have something to discuss." General Cui saw Zhao Jia standing there motionless, but his face showed a sad expression. He also felt more fond of him and his tone was softer.
"Yes!" Zhao Jia still agreed with some grief, and then turned around and left step by step. However, just as he walked to the door, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his steps were paused. There was also a hesitant expression on his face, but in the end he turned around firmly and said again, "Dear generals, General Hu Yan's injury can only be hidden for a while. It will be known to the entire army in the future. I don't need to say more about the serious consequences caused by this time. I wonder if there is any solution for you?"
Originally, General Cui and others' impression of Zhao Jia had changed a lot, but when they saw that Zhao Jia, who was about to leave, stopped again and asked how to solve the impact of Hu Yanping's injury, they all showed an unhappy look on their faces, because this was not what Zhao Jia's identity should care about.
"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore, so you should retreat quickly!" General Cui said again. He was Hu Yanping's old subordinate, and he had the highest prestige among the generals, but he was not yet high enough to replace Hu Yanping to command the entire army, so he was the most distressed at this time.
However, when Zhao Jia heard General Cui's words, she did not leave as she said, but smiled and said, "Dear Generals, there is actually a way. If this method is adopted, even if General Hu Yan is injured and unconscious in the future, he can temporarily stabilize the morale of the army. I hope all generals can adopt it!"
"Rareless, where is this place? How could you, a child with a yellow mouth, talk nonsense?" However, as soon as Zhao Jia finished speaking, a sturdy general scolded loudly. The general's surname is Yu. Because of his hot personality, he could erupt at any time like a volcano, so he is called Yu Huoshan. Yesterday, when he heard the news that Hu Yanping was injured, he almost drew his sword to cut off Zhao Jia and the others' personal guards.
General Yu took the lead, and the other generals' faces were not very good. After all, they really couldn't think of any good solutions, but the young man in front of them said that he could solve this problem, which made them feel a little unhappy instinctively.
However, General Cui was very interested in Zhao Jia's words and immediately persuaded him: "Old Yu, don't be too angry either. Young people have a flexible mind. Maybe there is any good way. It's okay for us to listen to it!"
Hearing General Cui's words, the other generals were not good to say anything. At this time, Zhao Jia finally had the opportunity to speak again: "In fact, this method is very simple. General Huyan is extremely prestige in the army, and the soldiers in the army are extremely convinced by him. Even if they are besieged in the city, the soldiers will not panic. However, now General Huyan is injured, we can find a prestigious person to take charge of General Huyan's command..."
"I'm so light, where can I find such a person now!" Before Zhao Jia finished speaking, she was interrupted by the hot-tempered Yu Huoshan.
"There is a person's prestige that is definitely above General Huyan!" Zhao Jia was a young man after all. Faced with Yu Huoshan's several scoldings, his voice said with a bit of coldness.
"Impossible!" Yu Huoshan said sternly again.
"How is it impossible? Will Your Highness Yue's prestige be worse than General Hu Yan?" Zhao Jia retorted again at this time. Their army originally belonged to the Marines in the Navy, and the navy was built by Zhao Yan, so in the Navy, Zhao Yan's prestige is definitely more than anyone else. Even Zhao Xu, as the emperor, cannot compare with him, let alone Hu Yanping.
"Bastard, who doesn't know that King Yue has a very high prestige? But King Yue is far away in the capital, how could he be here? Do you think these are playing tricks on us?" Yu Huoshan shouted angrily again when he heard this. His hot temper was finally detonated by Zhao Jia. As he said that, he wanted to pull out his waist knife to correct Zhao Jia.
However, Zhao Jia roared without changing her face and said, "Of King Yue naturally can't get here, but we can find a way to borrow the prestige of King Yue and use it!"
"Slow down!" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, General Cui finally stopped Yu Huoshan again. He turned his head and asked Zhao Jia, "You said you can borrow the prestige of King Yue, but prestige is not a specific thing, how can you borrow it?"
General Cui also asked the questions that other generals wanted to ask. They all looked at Zhao Jia. Zhao Jia knew that this was not the time to keep him in hiding, so he quickly spoke: "As we all know, the eldest son of the King of Yue and the Princess, Zhao Jia, was appointed as the prince early. Some time ago, the Prince of Yue had visited General Hu Yan. As a personal guard, I once met the other party. Coincidentally, this Prince of Yue is the same age as me, and his figure and appearance are somewhat similar. If I stood up at this time, I said that I was the Prince of Yue, and with the help of the King of Yue in the army, I would definitely stabilize people's hearts!"
Zhao Jia did not directly announce his identity, but instead made himself a "fake" Zhao Jia. First, the only one in the army knew his true identity was Hu Yanping, but Hu Yanping was in a coma now, so no one could prove his identity at all, and it was difficult for people to believe it if he told him. Second, his identity was indeed too special, and the personnel in the army were complicated. If he told him about his true identity, it would probably cause some unnecessary trouble and might even bring danger to himself.
