The eldest son of the red mansion

Now that the Manchu Eight Banners are in charge, it would be good for them all to be brought back to the grasslands as slaves. After all, these captives are also Jia Ke's own property.

As soon as Jirigla saw Jia Ke coming, he immediately came to Jia Ke in three steps at a time, and said flatteringly with a smile on his face: "Master, you don't want these captives anymore? You can bring them back to us." Go to the grassland, so that you can graze your cattle and horses."

Jia Ke pretended to think about it, and finally said helplessly, "Hey, I was talking about taking these people to the Central Plains to build roads."

Jirigla became tense when he heard this. He looked at Jia Ke with expectant eyes, afraid that Jia Ke would say that he would take all these slaves back.

Jia Ke squinted at Jirigla, "I'll take advantage of you this time, but it won't work if there are slaves in the future. After all, there are so many of us and we can't give all the benefits to your family."

Jirigla smiled immediately after hearing this, bowed his waist and kept bowing to Jia Ke, "Master, put your heart in your stomach, and then you must leave some soup for the other generals to drink."

Jia Ke nodded and waved him to deal with the slaves.

After Jirigla left Jia Ke, he ran back to the middle of the Manchu Eight Banners in three steps at a time, and told the tribe what Jia Ke wanted, and the cavalrymen of the Manchu Eight Banners immediately cheered like thunder, facing Jia Ke's direction. The direction shouted hooray together.

This time, almost all the soldiers of the Eight Banners who participated in the battle could get one or two slaves. How much effort would it save if they brought them home?My wife and children should suffer less.

You must know that life on the grasslands is very difficult, and everyone's life span is short. With the help of these slaves, their wives and children can be spared, and their parents can live for a few more years.

This is a very realistic problem. Once a catastrophe occurs on the grassland, the elders of the clan will leave consciously and go to the wilderness to fend for themselves. This is also a habit formed by grassland people for thousands of years, and it is also They wrestled with nature and formed cruel wisdom.

Chapter 642

Jia Ke looked at the eight banners shouting long live to him three times, and was very excited in his heart.

At this time, Sun Yan, who had been by Jia Ke's side all the time, poured cold water on him.

"My lord, the food and grass we brought this time is just enough for our own food. Now that there are so many more prisoners, the food and grass may not be able to last for too long."

After Jia Ke heard this, her brows frowned. This trip to the south cannot be completed in a month or two. If there is not enough food and grass to give up halfway, I am afraid that these southern countries will have a chance to breathe again.

Jia Ke contemplated for a while, and could only raise food on the spot. Jia Ke knew that if he opened the gate, what would be released would be a flood, and the people of Annan Kingdom might suffer, but how could he manage these things now? ?

Jia Ke made a psychological decision, but she didn't show it on the surface, because the problem of food and grass is not the most important thing now.

Jia Ke thinks that now we should concentrate all our efforts on marching towards Longcheng Pass. As long as we break through Longcheng Pass, there will be a plain southward, and we will have as much food and grass as we need.

That night, Price was in the big tent of the Chinese army and called all the generals to have a drink together.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Jia Ke said to the generals below: "When I first came to Annan, I won a big victory. Now the elite of Annan Kingdom has been wiped out by our army. At that time, all the troops will be assembled tomorrow, and they must arrive at Longcheng Pass before dark."

After listening to Jack's order, all the soldiers bowed their hands in agreement.

The next day, the 30 Central Plains army, with more than [-] captives, swept southward in a mighty manner, and all the towns and cities fell in anticipation.

And Jia Ke was not polite to the people of these enemy countries, asking them to hand over food and grass every time they passed by.

Jia Ke now knows that he has more than 20 captives and insufficient food and grass, so he tries to raise some food as much as possible, hoping to delay for a while.

Originally, Sun Yan advised Jia Ke to send all these captives to the Central Plains, but Jia Ke flatly refused.

Because Jia Ke knew that going south this time was different from fighting on the prairie. There were almost no cities on the prairie, so the two armies were fighting against each other. In the south, although the construction skills of the cities were much worse than those in the Central Plains, they were still urban forests.

However, Jia Ke will inevitably run into tough situations with the army of the Central Plains. If the ants attack the city at that time, the soldiers of the Central Plains will suffer heavy casualties, so these captives will be needed at that time.

Not long after Jia Ke and the others had left, they ran into Wu Lu, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, and saw that although the number of soldiers under his command was not small, they were all in a state of embarrassment.

Jia Ke called Wu Lu to his horse and asked, "You refused to defend here, did you meet the king of An Nanguo?"

After listening to Jia Ke's question, Wu Lu immediately lowered his head in shame. He knelt down in front of Jia Ke and said, "I also ask my lord to come down, this time I will end up being ashamed of my lord."

Jia Keshi had already seen that they were defeated this time, but she didn't know the specific reason, "What's the specific situation? Tell me about it."

Wu Lu had no choice but to tell Jia Ke the cause and effect.

It turned out that Wu Lu's camp was suddenly attacked by Annan's army yesterday evening.

Wu Lv personally commanded the battle, and thought that Annan's soldiers would be repelled soon, but this time Annan's soldiers seemed to be desperate.

Wu Lu was also a little afraid of this desperate style of play, but Wu Lu's camp was very secure, and the opponent couldn't break it for a while.

In this way, the two sides fought for about an hour, and the sky had already darkened. Wu Lv thought that the opponent was about to withdraw his troops, but unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly lit countless torches.

Then the Southern Kingdom's attack not only did not weaken, but became even tougher.Seeing this situation, Wu Lu guessed that something big must have happened on the front line.

But looking at it like this, the opponent should be defeated. This is to retreat, and what they are guarding happens to be their only road. If tens of 10 people want to retreat, it is not possible to walk on those mountain paths.

While Wu Lv was thinking, a young general suddenly rushed out of the camp, who was the one who was in his camp a few days ago.

It didn't take long for the young general to mobilize his horses to attack the front of the camp, and then under the protection of the left and right soldiers, he even opened a gap in the barracks.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers from the southern kingdom rushed in through this gap, how could they let go of this god-given opportunity.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lv immediately led his own soldiers forward desperately, trying to block the opening.

In the end, it didn't take long for him to run into that young general before the battle.

When the young general saw Wu Lu, he immediately gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot. This meant that he was about to kill his father and enemy.

So the young general Ding Hao brandished his sword and went straight to Wu Lu, Wu Lu did not hesitate to brandish the gun in his hand to fight him.The result was still the same as last time, Wu Lv couldn't hold back within a few rounds.

Fortunately, the wolf soldiers under Wu Lu's command were brave. Seeing that the main general was in danger, they immediately stepped forward to rescue the young general regardless of their own safety, and tripped the young general, which gave Wu Lu a chance to escape.

Wu Lubai retreated back to his own camp and looked forward. Seeing the opponent's troops rushing into Dazhai continuously, he knew that there was nothing to be done, so without any hesitation, he immediately turned the horse's head, gathered the soldiers and rushed out of the barracks.

After Wu Lu explained the cause and effect to Jia Ke, he knelt there and waited for Jia Ke's punishment.

Jia Ke thought for a while and asked, "Is that young general really good?"

Wu Lu thought about it carefully after listening, and then said: "This young general is really brave, and in the eyes of the general, he is on par with Commander Xiao."

After hearing this, Jia Ke smiled, and said to the generals on the left and right: "I didn't expect that there are warriors in Annan Kingdom, so be careful when you meet them on the battlefield."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, even Xiao Yue didn't dare to underestimate it, only Ben Bray didn't care.

"Wu Lu, although you were defeated this time, but because you have done a great job in cutting off Annan's food and grass, I will spare you this time. If you are not cautious in the future, don't blame our ruthless military law."

Hearing that Jia Ke let go of his mistakes like this, Wu Lu was moved to tears immediately. He kowtowed to Jia Ke a few times on his knees, then gritted his teeth and said, "Please don't worry, my lord. To that young general, he will definitely take revenge."

Jia Ke stopped being entangled, and immediately ordered Wu Lu to lead the troops to rendezvous with the brigade, and then continued to advance south.

After one night, their team finally arrived at the gate of Longcheng Pass.

At this time, the dragon city was closed, and Ruan Zhengyu was leading all the civil and military personnel to look down from the top of the city.

Ruan Zhengyu could only see below, countless people and horses moving around with torches. It looked like Jia Ke came out in full force.

Looking at the countless people below, Ruan Zhengyu felt his hands and feet were cold. They just rushed to Longcheng Guan'er yesterday, and there were only more than 3000 people at the Dragon City Gate, and the people brought by Ding Hao were only 1.
