The eldest son of the red mansion

So now Jia Ke's control over the army has reached a very strict level.I am afraid that no one can command these troops except Jia Ke.Although it can't be said to be his personal soldier, but it is not far away.

Chapter 160 Marching

Jia Ke then said to the three cavalry Qianhu: "Send out cavalry along the way to find the broken soldiers and gather them together. They can be used by us then."

The three cavalrymen responded in unison, saying that they had remembered Jia Ke's order, and when the time came, they would send people to search the forests carefully and gather all the broken soldiers they could find.

After Jia Ke gave them orders, they didn't delay, and ordered the team to set off immediately.

This march was Jia Ke's first time leading soldiers.Before he set off, he asked Fan Kang a lot for his advice, plus his usual summary of watching military books and battle books.Tried it out on this trip.

The march of this army will not exceed fifty or sixty miles a day.If the speed is increased, the soldiers will be very tired, which will have a great impact on the next march.

In ancient times, an army of tens of thousands was equipped with a mixed army of "steps and bicycles" such as convoys, cavalry, infantry, military officials, etc., and the marching speed of the troops had to match the convoy.Troops cannot go alone without their baggage.

Moreover, the conditions of most roads in ancient times are not comparable to today's rural roads, and only two or three people can walk side by side.As a result, no matter how many people you have, the most marching is still dominated by two or four columns.As a result, a troop of 1 people, plus heavy vehicles, will occupy a road with a length of 4000 to [-] meters!

Moreover, after about seven days in the wild, you must stop and rest for a day.In order to restore the soldiers' physical strength and morale.

He was also particular about marching. This time, Jia Ke followed the usual practice in ancient times. When marching, the infantry army was usually placed in the front, the command center and its guards were placed in the middle, and the logistics team and other non-combatants were placed in the back.Cavalry with good maneuverability maneuvered on the flanks in order to take care of the front and rear.

During the march, the cavalry in Kaiping Town clashed with the Tatar probing horses from time to time.

Along the way, the cavalry of Kaiping Town was also responsible for gathering the broken soldiers of Xuanfu Town.On the 4th day of the march, Jia Ke had gathered about 8000 troops. These people were scattered soldiers who hid in the mountains for refuge.At this time, seeing the imperial army coming to help, they came down the mountain one after another.

Jia Ke rearranged and regrouped these defeated soldiers, and then distributed weapons to let them join his troops as hand-to-hand soldiers.

Kaiping Town is two to three hundred miles away from Xuanfu Town, and after four days of marching, it will take one or two days to reach Xuanfu Town.

But something happened on the fourth night, when Jia Ke ordered the troops to bury the pot to make food and set up camp to rest.A group of defeated soldiers came, led by Commander Huo Jiu, who was originally the commander of Xuanhua. This time the Tatars attacked Xuanhua, he led 2000 elites and fled without a fight, resulting in Xuanhua being easily captured by the Tatars. As a result, Xuanfu Town lost its northwest gateway, and the Tatars arrived in Xuanfu Town within two days. The Jiedu envoy Wang Tao was caught off guard, and was forced to gather all the troops in the nearby pass to defend Xuanfu Town with all his strength.

For the past few days, Huo Jiu took his men and horses to hide in the mountains. Since there was no food and grass, he had been starving. On this day, he suddenly met the cavalry sent by Jia Ke to gather the defeated soldiers.Knowing that Jia Ke led more than 1 troops to reinforce Xuanfu Town, he couldn't help being overjoyed.He lost Xuanhua this time, and he had already fled the battle.When the war is over, I am afraid that a knife will inevitably suffer.

This time when they met the reinforcements led by Jia Ke, they started thinking about it.Knowing that Jia Ke was just a garrison, he thought of using the command to make his official position higher than that of the garrison, so he took away Jia Ke's military power, and brought these reinforcements to reinforce him, so that he could take the crime and make meritorious service.

So Huo Jiu took his 2000 men to the barracks with the cavalry sent by Jia Ke, and ordered Jia Ke to come to see him as soon as he arrived at the barracks.

Jia Ke heard the report from the soldiers, saying that a commander had brought the disabled soldiers to the barracks, and ordered Jia Ke to go to see him.

When Jia Ke heard the news, he laughed angrily. Did the donkey kick the commander's mind?At this time, I still can't see the situation clearly.However, he is the commander after all, so I give him face in terms of etiquette.Then see what he is going to do, if he has any unreasonable thoughts.He just used his head to establish his prestige and deter those newly gathered routs.

So Jia Ke rushed to the camp where Huo Jiu was staying, and saw that there were many swords and guns on both sides, and the surroundings were heavily guarded.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke didn't go any further.It was obvious that Huo Jiu had no good intentions for him.After entering, I am afraid that he will be put under house arrest or killed, and his military power will be taken away.Wouldn't it be a fool to go in and meet him under such circumstances?

Jia Ke turned around and left Huo Jiu's tent, returned to his large tent of the Chinese army, and immediately ordered to beat the drums to gather the generals. As soon as Jia Ke finished giving the order, the drums of the generals gathered outside the tent rang.

Not long after, all the generals arrived, except Huo Jiu.Jia Ke was furious when he saw this situation, and said loudly: "I am ordered by the Ministry of War, and the emperor's will to lead the three armies to rescue Xuanfu Town, and I will control the troops everywhere. Although he is the commander, but after the end of this war Before, you still have to obey my orders. I have already assembled the generals, how dare he not come?"

So Jia Ke sent an order: "Feng Mo, I order you to lead the troops. Immediately surround Huo Jiu's barracks and ask him to come to see me immediately. If he does not obey, he will be executed on the spot when he enters the camp."

Feng Mo got the order to leave the tent immediately, and after a while, he heard the sound of horns outside the tent.From time to time, the sound of soldiers' neat footsteps could be heard.

Feng Mo led his troops to Huo Jiu's big tent, and surrounded the tent.

At this time, Huo Jiu was still dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Dream, dreaming of seizing Jia Ke's military power.Command the nearly 2 horses and go to reinforce Xuanfu Town.Even if the Tatars cannot be defeated, they can protect themselves with tens of thousands of people.In the end, the Tatars withdrew their troops, and they had redeemed themselves.

Although Huo Jiu heard Jia Ke's drumbeat just now, he didn't go forward. He thought that Jia Ke's small garrison could not order him to command the envoy.So I have been sitting in the account.

At this time, soldiers suddenly came in to report, their big tent had been surrounded, and the leading general ordered Huo Jiu to go out to meet him.

Huo Jiu is not a mindless person, and he can understand the principle after thinking about it carefully.Presumably Jia Ke has seen through his scheme.So he sent people to surround his military tent and asked him to go to the big tent to meet him.

Huo Jiu didn't dare to be tough at this time, no one was a fool, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.Now I'm afraid he can't help but not go.

Huo Jiu went out of the big tent, only to see that the outside of the tent was already surrounded by large soldiers, and his subordinates were weakly hiding aside and did not dare to stop him. Although Huo Jiu was angry in his heart, he had a smile on his face.Going up to Feng Mo, he said, "I think this one is General Jia Ke. I am Commander Huo Jiu. We are all one family. Why do we have to meet each other?"

Feng Mo looked at him with a sneer and said, "I'm Feng Mo, a thousand households in Kaiping Township, under the order of the general. Come and ask Commander Huo to go to the big tent to discuss matters."

Huo Jiu heard that he was not Jia Ke, so he also put away his smile, "You are asking me to discuss matters, why are you bringing so many soldiers?"

"If you don't bring these soldiers, I'm afraid you won't be able to invite the Commander." Feng Mo said with a deadpan expression.

"What if I don't go? What are you going to do with me?"

Feng Mo said decisively: "According to our lord's military order, if you go and return it, that's all. If you don't go, you will be executed on the spot."

When Huo Jiu heard his words, his heart couldn't help beating.It seemed that Jia Ke had murderous intentions towards him, and wanted to find a way to kill him.It seems that I did not act well just now and caused trouble.I also felt a little regretful in my heart, but at this time, regret was useless.

Huo Jiu said to Feng Mo: "Since that's the case, I'll follow you to the big tent to meet the guard and see what he can do with me."

Chapter 161 Arrival

Although Huo Jiu's mouth was tough at this time, his heart had already softened and he didn't dare to resist any more.After all, when I came out to fight just now, I saw how useless the 2000 troops I brought with me were, and they didn't do much, so I hid aside and didn't dare to resist.Huo Jiu reluctantly followed Feng Mo to Jia Ke's Chinese army camp.

As soon as Huo Jiu entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw a young general sitting in the center with his chest in his chest.Although he is not very young, his prestige is not small, and there is a strong smell of blood on his body.At first glance, he is a battle-tested general.

At this moment, Huo Jiu didn't dare to underestimate Jia Ke anymore, not to mention anything else, the murderous aura on his body alone was much heavier than he didn't know.At first glance, he is a murderous and ruthless character.

Feng Mo entered the tent, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and reported to Jia Ke, "General Qi, Huo Jiu has already been brought to the tent."

Jia Ke said indifferently: "Since you have brought it, you can go back to work and stand."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Feng Mo immediately came to the top left, stood there straight and did not speak.

Seeing this formation, Huo Jiu knew something was wrong.Hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I am the commander of Xuanhua, Huo Jiu, I have seen Jia Shoubei."

Jia Ke didn't return the gift to him, but sat firmly in the center, and asked coldly, "Just now I was beating the drums to gather the generals, why didn't you come? Are you deaf and didn't hear the drums?"

Huo Jiu was very rude when he heard Jia Ke's words. At this time, he was also annoyed, and he reprimanded Jia Ke loudly: "I gave you face just now, and you are so shameless. Do you know who I am? I am the commander of Xuanhua, the third-rank officer , you are just a fourth-rank guard, and your official position is not as high as Wang Bada in the Jinshui River, how dare you be so unreasonable to me, don't you know the dignity? Don't you know the etiquette of the court?"

Jia Ke heard that he had started cursing from above, so she was not angry, but still asked in a cold voice, "I just beat the drums to gather the generals, why didn't you come?"

"Okay, Jia Ke, you are not done yet. Now, in the name of commander, I will deprive you of your military power. From now on, all the troops will be deployed by me. Without my order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier. "Huo Jiu said in a stern voice. In fact, his heart is pounding now, and he begins to expect that the little guard will be shocked by his power. As long as he can escape this disaster, he must let the little guard know how powerful he is.

Jia Ke sat in the center and watched him walk like a clown, and couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jiu was even more annoyed down there, and he put aside his thoughts of forbearance at the beginning, and said with fire in his eyes: "You Jia Ke, who has no boss, why are you laughing now? If you dare to disobey, I will read you a copy after the war. You can’t afford to go around. I know you have some skills, and I heard your reputation when you were in Xuanhua. But don’t forget that the court’s freedom of laws is not something you can do arbitrarily. "

Jia Ke ignored him, turned around and said to Huang Bofeng next to him, "Read the order from the Ministry of War to him, let him know why I restrain him, and let him know whether I have acted recklessly."

Huang Baifeng took a step forward, and said to the people in the big tent: "There is an order from the Ministry of War: order the garrison Jia Ke to send troops to rescue Xuanfu Town immediately. The officers and soldiers encountered along the way, regardless of their rank or strength, are controlled by Jia Ke. They were executed on the spot without any reason.”

After Huang Baifeng finished reading, Jia Ke turned around and said to Huo Jiu: "Did you hear clearly? This military order not only has the big seals of the adults in the Ministry of War, but also the emperor's jade seal. What do you think I should do now?" you?"

Huo Jiu suddenly came to his senses at this time. He was angry just now and said all his thoughts without considering the consequences. Only then did he feel scared. No wonder Jia Ke has always ignored him. Documents of the Ministry of War.With this document, Jia Ke is the commander in chief of this rescue.Anyone who disobeyed orders, Jia Ke could act with military law. Just now I threatened Jia Ke unscrupulously, and now I am afraid that this test will not pass.

Huo Jiu couldn't care about anything else at this time, only thinking about how to escape this catastrophe, so he fell to his knees with a plop, and begged Jia Ke: "Your Excellency is humble and confused, please look at me who doesn't know this order. Please spare my life, and in the next life I will definitely form a grass ring to repay my lord's kindness."
