While Jia Heng was thinking about it, he saw a group of armored generals approaching from a military tent.
The leader, a tall man with a rough face and a curly beard under his chin, came with a long stride. Jia Heng knew that he was Niu Jizong.
As for the generals behind Niu Jizong,
Niu Jizong saw three young men in Feiyu uniforms. He saw that one of the two was lagging behind, and the young man was obviously the leader. He cupped his hands and said, "Niu Jizong, the commander of Guoyong camp, is it unknown that this commander came to the camp and had business affairs with him?"
To put it bluntly, it is even a bit ridiculous. Although Niu Jizong conspired with Jia She to harm Jia Heng, he only glanced at Jia Heng from a distance that day at the restaurant outside Ningguo Mansion. How could he remember it?
At this moment, Jia Heng put on a Feiyu suit, with a cold face and a calm demeanor, as if he was here for business.
Niu Jizong would not associate it with the boy who in his impression was still a white man.
Therefore, he bowed his hand politely.
Since even Niu Jizong didn't recognize Jia Heng, several generals behind Kuang, such as the governor Tongzhi Che Zheng and the governor Qian Shi Lu He, naturally had no reason to know who Jia Heng was, and they all made formulaic fist salutes.
Jia Heng's stern gaze swept over Niu Jizong, a sneer appeared on his face, he pressed the sword on his waist and said: "Captain Niu, I'm here to find Cai Quan."
Niu Jizong's face paused slightly, and he blinked, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
"Brother Heng." At this moment, a voice of surprise came from behind everyone, and then Cai Quan was seen running quickly with a smile on his face and said: "You are finally here."
Hearing this, Niu Jizong's face suddenly darkened, and he felt as if he had eaten a fly. What was he doing, was he saluting Jia Heng?
Even if it was just a formulaic response, Niu Jizong was ashamed.
What the hell is going on with this bitch?
"Isn't this Jia Heng Bai Ding? How did he become a Jinyiwei..." Niu Jizong looked ugly and felt confused. He raised his eyes and was about to ask.
At this moment, I saw the young man cast a pair of eyes as sharp as a knife, and shouted: "Captain Niu, the Holy Father has orally ordered me to follow Guo to fight bravely to suppress the bandits. It is almost noon now, and the time for dispatching troops is approaching. I
The official came to look for Cai Quan to send troops."
The other generals of the Guoyong camp also reacted at this time, especially the camp commander Qian Shi Lu He, whose expression changed slightly and looked at the young man in the flying fish uniform with doubtful eyes.
Who would be willing to provoke Jin Yiwei unless necessary? This old cow didn't make it clear before.
Thinking of this, I cast a look at Niu Jizong to "bury the injustice".
Niu Jizong's face was also a little worried. He stared at Jia Heng with a pair of tiger eyes. He should not act rashly until he understood what was going on.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he turned to look at Niu Jizong and said: "Captain Niu, how do you lead the troops? I can't comment on it at first, but since I am the head of the Jia clan, your Niu family is my family friend of the Jia family. I have a few words."
What a shame! Along the way, as far as I can see, the soldiers are drinking and playing games, and military discipline is so lax. It’s no wonder that even the thieves and bandits in the third auxiliary area of the capital are unable to be wiped out!"
It's all nonsense that the two families are close friends. This is just Jia Heng taking the opportunity to undermine Niu Jizong's prestige.
Of course, Niu Jizong was incompetent in running the army and his prestige was not much, but his words today were expected to reach the emperor's desk soon through the two guards who were protecting and observing them.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of all the generals around him changed slightly, especially some of the mid-level generals. Looking at Niu Jizong's expression, something was wrong.
Secretly, is he a member of the Jia family? Or is he the head of the Jia family?
The details about Jia Heng were only limited to the public opinion in the court and Shilin that day. They had not been completely spread among the relatively closed Beijing camp, especially among the middle and low-level generals in Guoyong camp.
Niu Jizong's face was as gloomy as water, and he cursed in his heart what bastard put this man into the camp, but with a sneer on his face he said: "What a sharp-tongued head of the Jia family! It's a pity that the two armies are in front of the battle, and the battle is dangerous.
It will allow you to use your words!"
Saying that, he snorted coldly and walked away.
He wanted to ask Jia She later what happened to Te Niang. Isn't Jia Heng a white lady?
Now it is obvious that the emperor has caught the eye of the emperor, and he is ordered to accompany him to suppress the bandits. Is there some conspiracy behind this?
If it succeeds, will it be necessary to use an excuse to launch an attack?
Even though he was dissatisfied with Emperor Chongping, he still had awe of his power and skills.
Seeing Niu Jizong leaving, the eyes of the generals and commanders looking at Jia Heng changed again.
Lu He and Che Zheng looked at each other and thought, "It is indeed the Jia family. If he is the head of the Jia family, Governor Niu still doesn't really dare to throw his son away. Wang Tongzhi is now the governor of the Beijing camp and is highly valued by the emperor. This is obvious
The Jia family is having internal strife, and it would be unwise for me to rashly get involved."
This is the power of the Jia family. Jia Daihua was once a first-class divine general and the military envoy of Jingying. Although he has been dead for many years, Jingying still has an impression of the Jia family's great power.
This is also the reason why Emperor Chongping wanted to borrow Jia Heng's identity.
After all, once the descendants of the upright Ning Guo Gong Jia Yan, even if they are from a side branch, receive a title and fall into the eyes of outsiders, they will always think that it is a housework caused by internal strife among the Jia clan's direct descendants. With such thoughts, they will not wait and see.
forward.
Jia Heng looked at the expressions of the generals, his eyes flashed, and his mind was like a mirror as he saw the change of mind of General Guo Yongying. He turned to look at Cai Quan and said: "Brother Cai, let's go."
Cai Quan looked excited and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go."
Even he didn't expect that brother Heng would become a fourth-rank official in an instant, which clearly caught the emperor's eye.
Jia Heng nodded to General Guo Yong's camp, and then followed Cai Quan to lead the troops.
After watching the two people leave, Che Zheng smiled and asked: "Lao Lu, do you think this kid can do it?"
"It's hard to say. There are not many bandits in Cuihua Mountain, but we don't know where their base is. It's useless to send a battalion of us there. The seven or eight hundred people under Cai Quan alone are enough." Lu Heyao
He shook his head and said.
Che Zheng had a thoughtful look on his face and said, "However, Commander Niu is quite angry when he looks at it."
"You didn't hear just now that your Majesty asked Commander Jia to accompany him to suppress the bandits..." Lu He said with a solemn expression, "It's fine if this doesn't happen, but if it does."
This is a signal, could it be that the previous military affairs were unfavorable and Niu Jizong was deprived of his position as the commander of the regiment and camp?
Che Zheng smoothed his short beard under his chin with his hand and said in a deep voice: "This is all a matter of fighting between gods and immortals. Let's see later."
Lu He glanced at Che Zheng and thought to himself, "How do you think I don't know what you think about Lao Che? It's just that if the board falls down, you'll be in trouble anyway."
Jia Heng brought two royal guards with him. The soldiers who followed Cai Quan came to the formation. They were the seven or eight hundred soldiers under Cai Quan's command. They wore Fan Yangli, mandarin duck war jackets inside, and cotton armor outside.
Their postures were loose, their formations were uneven, their flags were crooked, and some were still whispering to each other, but they were being suppressed by a dozen low-ranking generals.
Most of the soldiers were infantry, and there were only a hundred or ten cavalry.
Seeing Jia Heng in Feiyu uniform and the two Jinyi guards approaching, they all turned their heads and cast either curious or indifferent glances.
Jia Heng frowned when he saw this and looked at Cai Quan aside.
Cai Quan pulled Jia Heng aside and lowered his voice and said: "Brother, although the army is not in good shape, we are well-armed. We are fighting bandits, not Donglu, so we will not suffer. In addition, I have already said it.
If the bandits are wiped out and 50% of what is seized is given to them, and the remaining 50% is taken, brother you take 40% and I take 10%, this 10% will not go into my pocket, it will have to be given to that bastard named Lu just now, if you can
If you can't be promoted to Qianhu, you still have to rely on him."
When Jia Heng heard this, his face was gloomy. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Don't mention angrily criticizing Cai Quan, and then making impassioned speeches to inspire the blood of the soldiers with the national justice. Now it is nonsense.
The rotten Jingying Camp has its own set of game rules. Before anything happens, they have already made an appointment in advance to divide the spoils.
However, from another perspective, it can also be said that Cai Quan does have a brain.
Decide in advance how to divide the property and win over people's hearts, otherwise you will rush into the bandit's nest when the time comes, and the soldiers will rush forward because of the robbery of the property, and even raise their swords towards the robe. In turn, they will "defend the homeland and share the same hatred with the enemy"
"The thieves took advantage of it.
It's almost laughable.
"This is the only way to play a bad hand against three against four." Jia Heng suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
As he had thought before, it was better to reorganize the capital camp than to start from scratch and rebuild the new army.
As if he was worried that Jia Heng had other ideas in his mind, Cai Quan said with a wry smile: "There is no other choice but this, otherwise I can control the sixty or seventy people under me."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and patted Cai Quan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, you and I, there is no need to explain. We must first get over the situation in front of you."
Cai Quan nodded solemnly, turned around, ordered his hundreds of households, the general flag, ordered all the soldiers, got on his horse, and drove towards Cuihua Mountain in Chang'an County.
Jia Heng was also in Qulang, accompanied by Zhao Yi's retinue, driving horses to accompany him.
At this time of the march, Jia Heng looked at the formation of soldiers and could see some clues. Although the formation was not neat, there were still one or two hundred people marching silently, showing some military qualities.
"After all, we are selecting elite soldiers from all over the country. There is always something to behold." Jia Heng faced the troops in the capital at this moment, knowing that he might have been too high-minded before, and that such soldiers were indeed enough to suppress bandits.
…
…
Not mentioning that Jia Heng followed him to suppress the bandits, Niu Jizong was so impatient that he took off his armor and rode to Ningrong Street to look for Jia She.
When he arrived at the black oil gate where Jia She lived, he got off his horse and followed his servant to the flower hall.
Jia She was having lunch, and his aunt Yanhong and Cuiyun were serving him on the left and right.
Because they were family friends, Jia She did not let his aunt avoid Niu Jizong. Instead, he picked up a cup of tea and said, "Have you seen that kid?"
Niu Jizong's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "You know, but you don't know how to send me a message to Lao Niu."
After thinking about it like this, he spoke with a bit of anger and said firmly: "Brother, what is going on? How did that kid get into Jin Yiwei?"
"Please be patient, dear brother." Jia She waved his hand and asked the two aunts to go down. Then, facing Niu Jizong's questioning gaze, he said coldly: "Jia Heng's son was on the resignation list earlier and gained a great reputation.
, and then after entering the Ning Kingdom, he bought people's hearts again. Somehow, he may have secretly used money to get through the door of Dai Neixiang, and spoke kindly to the Holy One. This got into the ears of the Holy One and rewarded him.
If an official receives a salary and does not have any specific duties, let him follow him to suppress bandits."
Niu Jizong frowned and said, "Brother, I came here just for this matter. Why do you feel like this wave is coming for me?"
Jia She sneered and said, "You don't need to worry, dear brother. What kind of bandits will this little Jia Heng kill? When the time comes, the work will be in vain. It will be good if he can come back safely."
Niu Jizong's expression paused, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother, is there something hidden in this?"
Jia She looked around and lowered his voice and said: "There are no outsiders here. I will give you a thorough explanation. Do you know how Lai Sheng, that dog slave, got in touch with the guys in Cuihua Mountain? Chang'an Jiedu is my old family.
Cuihua Mountain sends 20,000 taels of silver to the Yun Mansion every six months, and every time the officers and soldiers go there, Chang'an Jiedu leads his troops to help in the suppression. Every movement of the officers and soldiers is reported to Cuihua Mountain, where can they go to suppress it?"
Chang'an Jiedu envoy Yun Guang was indeed an old member of the Jia family.
When Niu Jizong heard this, his expression changed and he said, "Brother, it's hard to hide this from me."
Jia She smiled and said, "Brother, I just found out. Besides, what good will it do to you after wiping out the bandits? Will the palace give you a promotion or a title?"
Mentioning this matter, Jia She's heart also felt hot.
He worked tirelessly to sell goods on the grassland, how could he come to this business so quickly without any capital?
However, when I thought about it, he couldn't reach it no matter how long his hands were, and he couldn't intervene even if he wanted to.
When Niu Jizong heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his rough face, and he said: "From now on, when the kid arrives in Chang'an County, what will be waiting for him is..."
As he said that, he looked at Jia She with a pair of shining tiger eyes.
"Dead end!"
Almost speaking in unison
The two looked at each other, both twirling their beards and laughing.
