Jia Zhen and the others were well prepared, and none of them closed their eyes once.But the night passed safely.The Beirong people did not reorganize their troops as Jia Zhen thought, and came to revenge their barracks frantically.

As soon as the sun rose, the guard who was left by Jia Zhen to monitor the Beirong people had already returned.He told Jia Zhen that those Beirong people might have suffered too much loss this time, so they pulled out of camp and retreated northward before dawn.The guards were still not at ease, and followed for forty miles from a distance, only to realize that the retreat of the Beirong people did not seem to be a fake.

Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but still sent scouts around to prevent the Beirong people from retreating falsely, and then killed herself to return to the carbine.

The townspeople have heard about Jia Zhen's heroic deeds last night, and they think that this person is like a god of war.They recommended the chief guarantor to thank Jia Zhen, and asked Jia Zhen if there was anything else the common people could do.

Jia Zhen is not hypocritical, he is really thinking about trying the effect of using the liquid boiled from the root of the poisonous wolf flower and applying it to the arrow.It happens that the common people have nothing to do now, so they just continue to collect for him.

Some young and middle-aged men were drawn out to continue digging trenches around the barracks with the soldiers.In a few days' time, the barracks was surrounded by moats about one foot high and five feet wide on all sides.Even if the Beirong people wanted to launch a surprise attack again, they would not be able to cross easily. What greeted them would be the rain of arrows shot by Jia Zhen led by the soldiers.

It was also at this time that Jia Zhen asked everyone to start retraining the horses they had taken from the Beirong people-who didn't know that cavalry were much more mobile when fighting on the grassland?Therefore, the soldiers were very enthusiastic about training horses, and the effect was obvious.

In just a few days, Jia Zhen already had a cavalry team of 80 people, and with the corporal leaders and personal guards, there were almost a hundred people.With such a scale, it can be said that none of the nearby guards can catch up.

While everyone was still trying their best to get along with the horses, the soldiers on the watchtower came to report that Jia Zhen and their guards in the east were ignited with smoke!

The guard was seventy miles away from Jia Zhen and the others, and I don't know if the Beirong people didn't take advantage of Jia Zhen and the others, so they turned to attack the guard in the east.

As for why there was such a long interval in between, it is beyond Jia Zhen's guess.He has already ordered down: "Niu Dalu and Li Shan each bring a team to follow me to support, Liu Ming, Li He, Tie Hammer, you all take care of your home."

Even if you want to support, you have to spend the past few days soaking yourself in the poisonous wolf flower juice to try the power of the arrow.So this time, Jia Zhen and the others brought enough arrows, and with a roar, everyone flew on their horses and galloped towards the east guard.

The journey of seventy miles is not long, nor is it short.Even if Jia Zhen and the others rushed all the way, they had to run for more than an hour before arriving at the place where the wolf smoke was burning.

From a distance, you can see that the two sides have mixed together.However, the army of the Central Plains clearly had the upper hand—everyone in Beirong had horses, but the army of the Central Plains was the same as Jia Zhen's guard, mainly infantry.

Under such circumstances, they can still last for two hours. Jia Zhen feels that the brothers in this guard are already working hard.With a move of raising the knife, more than 40 cavalry behind him hit faster, crashing into the two armies like flying.

Originally, when they heard the sound of horseshoes, the hearts of the Central Plains army were even colder—this time, there were a lot of people from Beirong, more than a hundred people more than their own.Now if reinforcements come again, people like myself will be here today.

Who knew that the clothes of the man on horseback were exactly the same as his own, which made the soldiers of the Central Plains in the battle excited: "Here comes the rescuer!"

Those Beirong people also found Jia Zhen and the others, and some people recognized Jia Zhen. They didn't know who sent the whistle, but there were twenty or so Beirong soldiers who threw away their original opponents. Hit the horse and rush towards Jia Zhen.

Obviously, these Beirong people feel that now is a good time to seek revenge on Jia Zhen.But the first to greet them were the poisoned arrows brought by Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen has already confessed that those arrows don't need to kill each other, as long as they hit the Beirong people.

Several Beirong people were shot with arrows on their bodies and arms.It's just that the arrow didn't seem to have any aim, and it didn't pose a deadly threat to them.This boosted the morale of the Beirong people, and also made the soldiers in the original guard feel cold: Although the brothers came here quickly today, their combat power is really not good.

On the contrary, Jia Zhen, who had already rushed into the middle of the Beirong people, gave hope to the people in the original guard - this guy was too lethal, his waist knife was almost dead when touched, and he died when touched .In addition, his five personal guards were not weak in combat power, and in a short while, they killed an open space around them, and the Beirong people surrounded them, but no one dared to step forward to die for a long time.

"Is Brother Jia here?" At this moment, a loud voice came over.Jia Zhen looked at the person who made the sound, and saw that there was a large battle group not far away, surrounded by Bei Rong people, so she couldn't tell who made the sound.

But it should be that Qianhu from the guard is over there.Otherwise, ordinary soldiers would not be able to know the names of thousands of households in the neighboring guards.So Jia Zhen responded loudly: "It's right here. Brother Wang, don't worry, I will meet my brother right away."

As he said that, he took his personal guards and killed the battle group.The Beirong people are worthy of being a nation on horseback. Even if Jia Zhenru is possessed by a murderous god, there are still people rushing forward, trying to prevent him from reuniting with Wang Qianhu.

At this moment, those Beirong people who had just been hit by arrows fell off their horses one by one.Not only the Central Plains soldiers were in shock, but the Beirong people also gradually stopped fighting - this is really too weird. Those Beirong people who fell off their horses were clearly not too deeply wounded by the arrows, and they were not fatal at all. Why did they all fall off the horse?

Jia Zhen yelled at the infantry in the guard: "Those people were just poisoned, and they don't know whether the poison lasted for a long time or not. Brothers, everyone give them a knife."

At this moment, it turned out that the soldiers in the guard station reacted. While trying to shake off the Beirong people who were following him, they made up for the Beirong people who had fallen off their horses.

I heard that in the team of Beirong people, I don't know who shouted something loudly. Those Beirong people also left the battle group one by one.Only then did Jia Zhen see Wang Qianhu.

He saw that his body and the horse's body were like blood gourds, and he didn't know if it was his own blood or someone else's blood, it looked very tragic.This is not the time to say hello and reminisce about the past, Jia Zhen continued to command the people she brought, and pursued the Beirong people who were about to retreat.

However, the horses of the Beirong people were still faster, and some of the people brought by Jia Zhen did not cooperate with the horses tacitly. Everyone saw the Beirong people fleeing far away from their sight!

There was a moment of silence on the battlefield, and then the soldiers shouted happily: "The Beirong people have retreated, and the Beirong people have been repulsed by us!"

Wang Qianhu also rode his horse and came in front of Jia Zhen. He rolled his saddle off the horse, and solemnly clasped his fists at Jia Zhen from under the horse: "Thank you, brother Jia, for his righteousness to rescue." The soldiers behind him also clasped their fists to Jia Zhen and saluted: " Thank you brothers for coming to the rescue!"

Jia Zhen and the others also got off their horses and saluted Wang Qianhu. Jia Zhen then said, "Our brother's guards are next to each other, so we should watch over and help each other. If Brother Wang said such kind words, it's not that he doesn't treat us too seriously. Bro?"

That Wang Qianhu is also a straightforward person. After hearing Jia Zhen's words, he straightened up and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect Brother Jia to come so fast. If Brother Jia came later, I'm afraid it would be dangerous for my younger brother and brothers." .”

Jia Zhen talked to him about one family but was invited into the tent by Wang Qianhu.Cleaning the battlefield has her own soldiers, but Jia Zhen is most concerned about the horses left by the Beirong people.

But what Wang Qianhu was most concerned about was what kind of spell Jia Zhen and the others cast on the arrows they shot at the Beirong people.Waiting to hear that the root of the poisonous wolfberry was boiled to make juice and soaked in the tip of the arrow, Wang Qianhu couldn't help admiring loudly: "My little brother always knew that the poisonous wolfberry is poisonous, but why never thought of using it like this. It was Jia Xiong's experience." Broad and scheming, to come up with such a method."

Jia Zhen was modest again: "There is no way around this. Brother Wang also knows that we don't have many horses from the Beirong people, so we will suffer a little bit in battle. If you don't want to think of a way, don't you just have to wait to be stabbed?" share?"

Wang Qianhu asked Jia Zhen how to make the juice in detail, and Jia Zhen pointed out the things he should pay attention to one by one without hiding his secrets.It wasn't until they finished cleaning the battlefield here that another Li Qianhu from Wang Qianhu's east guard station brought people here in a hurry.The three of them were polite again, and had a meal together. Jia Zhen taught Li Qianhu the method of making the juice, and then took her own people and the thirty horses that were allotted to her guard. do not mention.

Jia Zhen became famous because of this!

No matter how much the superiors wanted to suppress Jia Zhen, he rushed to help others, defeated many with less, defeated the Beirong people, and returned with a complete victory.The method of soaking the arrows with the poisonous wolfberry juice also made great efforts to deal with the Beirong people this year.

Even the people in the town behind Jia Zhen and the others sent a few sheep to Jia Zhen and the others.No matter how Jia Zhen refused to accept it, the security chief refused to take it back.It's just that in so many years, it's the first time that winter has been so solid.

And Jia Zhen's prestige in this guard reached its peak all of a sudden, whether it was letting the soldiers run, or practicing formation tactics, they were all handy-no way, these soldiers have never passed by themselves for many years without any casualties. But the battle that beat the Beirong people to pieces, wouldn't Jia Zhen be worshiped like a god of war?

Even the chief general of the Northwest Defenders could no longer ignore Jia Zhen. While reporting victory to the court, he handed over Jia Zhen's request for credit.

Jia Zhen's promotion order was sent to the guard together with the family letter.

After accepting the congratulations from the soldiers, Jia Zhen was able to read the family letter after spending her own money to invite the soldiers to a dinner.

The letter was written by Jia Jing.Speaking of which, Jia Zhen has been away from home for more than half a year, and she really doesn't know much about the situation in Beijing.Correspondingly, apart from caring about Jia Zhen, Jia Jing and the others didn't know what was going on.

So in the letter, the first page was full of Jia Jing's worries and greetings to Jia Zhen, as if he wanted to supply Jia Zhen with the care he had lost for decades.

Looking at the letter, Jia Zhen just laughed to herself, and then began to look at the main topic behind: Jia Yuanchun is still a concubine, and also has the honor of returning home to visit relatives.It's just that this time, because the two prefectures have already divided their clans, Ningguo Mansion didn't pay for it, and didn't give it land.It's just that the Rongguo Mansion has its own way. According to Jia Jingxin's letter, construction of the relatives' villa business has already started.

Calculating the time Xin spent on the road, Jia Zhen felt that the provincial villa might be almost finished.Jia Jing didn't know where the Rongguo Mansion got the money, but Jia Zhen knew, it was all from the Lin family, okay?

Poor Daiyu, Jia Zhen can't get a word in now.Enduring the bitterness in her heart, Jia Zhen continued to look down: Just before Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, the king of Yizhong County couldn't hold back again and started an incident.But he started things fast and lost even faster.Those people who are following him now have almost been cleaned up by the present.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen couldn't help secretly thanking Beirong people for coming more and more urgently this year, which gave him the opportunity to make contributions.If it weren't for the large number of Beirong people who went south this year, maybe he is also on the list of cleaning up now, instead of being able to do defense!

It was also because the king of Yizhong County had completely lost power, Jia Jing discussed with Jia Zhen in the letter, can Jia Rong return to Beijing?After all, this power struggle has gradually become clear.

The rest of the content is just that Youshi is good, Xichun is good, Jia Qiang is becoming more and more capable, and Jia Qiang is almost in charge of the current foreign affairs of Ningguo Mansion.Jia Zhen didn't care much.

With Jia Jing sitting in the mansion, Jia Zhen was already very relieved that the Rongguo Mansion could not take advantage of it.As for whether Jia Rong is going back to Beijing, Jia Zhen doesn't think it's in a hurry - don't look at him who has just been promoted to an official, but who knows if it's going to numb him so that he can clean up his own mistakes?

Besides, Jia Rong said that he would keep his wife's filial piety for a year, so let him finish the observance before returning to Beijing—a person cannot stand without faith, and Jia Zhen feels that this is the opportunity for Jia Rong to keep his word.

She wrote a reply letter to Jia Jing, and Jia Zhen told Gu Yan to pack up her things and wait for the arrival of Xinqianhu before handing over to others.

Under the reluctant eyes of the soldiers in the guard, Jia Zhen took Jiao Mu and others together towards Dengfeng City, where Jia Zhen's new garrison was located. After passing the first level, I went directly to the Northwest Army's Jidu envoy to listen to orders.

He was also waiting for Jia Zhen's arrival. As soon as the two met, the new Lord Zuo Ling was very polite to Jia Zhen now.After all, he also knew that Jia Zhen still contributed a lot to his promotion this time.It is better to have a friendly person in Jiedushi than to have a hostile person, so Jia Zhen also tried her best to be a subordinate and sent the new leader away.

Looking at the small government office in front of her, Jia Zhen sighed with satisfaction.Finally, I don't have to live in a tent anymore, and I don't have to worry about people peeping outside the tent all the time.It really wasn't that he was suspicious, but that he felt that if it wasn't for the present or the Northwest Jiedu Envoy who secretly sent people to watch him, he would have been normal for more than half a year, and he would not have been promoted so easily this time.

Now, at least half of his heart should be let go of him today, and he should also manage this Dengfeng City well.

Therefore, on the second day, Jia Zhen was not in a hurry to order troops, but took a few old sayings and walked around the street in a green dress and a hat.Dengfeng City used soldiers to rejuvenate the city, but it wasn't too big.In addition, it is too close to Beirong, so the city is not very prosperous.However, there is not a lot of fur here, and it looks smooth and smooth, and the price is not expensive, but if you buy some back, it is considered valuable in Beijing.

Thinking of the value, Jia Zhen felt that she might as well organize a caravan to travel between Beijing and this place.In this way, it is convenient to communicate with the family, and secondly, it can also increase the supplies here.

After wandering the streets for half a day, Jia Zhen discovered that there are not a few rich people in this city, but there are few things and rough production, so not many people are willing to buy them.But this matter has to be discussed with Jia Jing.Jia Zhen asked Gu Yan to collect a large number of furs—even as a dowry for Xichun in the future.

At this time, Jia Zhen began to roll the names of the soldiers.Fortunately, his reputation in this city is not small, and there was no one who refused to accept and directly challenged the matter in front of him when he first arrived at the guard.

However, when Jia Zhen wanted the defenders in the city to train like soldiers in the guard, some soldiers still felt that they were just messing around, and they did not work hard one by one, turning the training into an errand.

Jia Zhen didn't point it out, but after observing for half a month, she conducted an assessment on the soldiers in the city.The content of the assessment is very simple, that is to compete with Jiaomu and the others.

Anyway, don't you all admire Jiaomu and the others for daring to follow them into the Beirong people who are dozens of times their size?Then take a good look, there is a gap between you and the burnt wood!

I feel that Jiaomu and the others only have personal ability and the courage of ordinary people, and then they can't fight as a team, so let's fight!

Starting with ten people, the number of soldiers fighting against Jiaomu and his ten guards increased to fifteen, twenty, and until twenty-five, it was barely a tie.

This can be regarded as mobilizing the training enthusiasm of the soldiers in Dengfeng City.They are all men, who is not bloody?People have been suppressing and beating them, and they are still being suppressed and beaten by recruits who have less time to eat food than themselves as soldiers, and who have been in the northwest to defend the frontier for a shorter time.Any soldier with a bit of self-motivation thought about how to improve his abilities so that he could win the battle against Jiaomu and the others.

Just keep training!Once the soldiers were willing to train, Jia Zhen had time to think about how to strengthen the defense of Dengfeng City.There is no way, although the Beirong people have been repulsed this year, but when the next year is too young, or if there is insufficient rain in the coming year, then the Beirong people will make a comeback.

What the Beirong people are good at is guerrilla warfare. If they can fight, they will fight, rob, and seize. If they can't fight, they will flee far away.Na Jiazhen had no choice but to take positional warfare to deal with it.

The first thing in positional warfare is naturally to strengthen the city's defenses.So Jia Zhen squeezed out some recruits from her small military salary, dug trenches outside the city, and installed bamboo arrows.

Some officers also felt that Jia Zhen’s return of the money to those civilian husbands was unnecessary. The frontier army’s actions were also for the safety of the people in the city. It was considered generous not to let the people pay for the army, so how could they return their wages?

But Jia Zhen can't do the thing of using people to work for nothing without paying them.In his opinion, it's not a bad thing for ordinary people to have some money in their hands. Only after he transported those good things from Beijing can he have money to buy them, right?He can't do something that is empty-handed, and can't he distribute the military salary to the people and earn it back?

The common people strongly supported Jia Zhen's move, not to mention the quality and quantity of the trench dug, and the speed made all the soldiers dumbfounded.Jia Zhen felt that the people here knew how to be grateful, and they should treat each other better.

After a year like this, Jia Zhen's caravan has gone back and forth several times, not only earning him a lot of money, but also reporting his news about Beijing, which is more timely:

Jia Yuanchun has already kissed his relatives, and those girls and his pseudo-mother Jia Shitou have already lived in the Grand View Garden.And Xichun began to learn the housekeeping from You Shi, and the two got along very well.Even Jia Rong has already returned to Beijing, and now Jia Jing is trying to show him the sequel.

Today, it is obvious that the management and control of the court is more convenient, and it has already begun to collect accounts from the wealthy families in Beijing.Jia Zhen expected this, no matter whether he accepts it or not, Ningguo Mansion has already escaped the catastrophe.

Even in the northwest barracks, there have been a lot of changes. Several officers were transferred away, and several officers were transferred from other places.Jia Zhen knew that the person who was transferred must be someone from the Supreme Emperor, and the person who was transferred was the cronies of today.

However, this did not have much impact on Jia Zhen. After all, since he came to the Northwest, he gave the impression that he was only a lonely and courageous person, and he had no relationship with any high-level military officer.

This is also Jia Zhen's prudence, even among the names Jia Jing gave him, there are some who serve in the Northwest Army, but he knows that the Northwest Jiedushi is the current person.In order not to prevent him from being more guarded today, he gave up contact with these people.Otherwise, when he first arrived, he would have been assigned to such a small guard instead of the northwest camp.

Jia Zhen felt that there was nothing wrong with this.Now everything he has is created by himself, no matter which general is in charge, he is willing to have such a desperate person under his command.Even today, I would like someone to be cannon fodder for me so willingly.

What Jia Zhen needs to worry about now is that the rain in the northwest is very scarce this year, and the Beirong will violate the border again.And his Dengfeng City is on the only way for Beirong to go south.In addition, he dealt too much blow to the Beirong people last year, maybe Dengfeng City will become the focus of the Beirong people's attack this year.

As for whether Jia Zhen's defense of Dengfeng City in the past year can withstand the fierce attack of the Beirong people, it is time to accept the test.Not only Jia Zhen, but also the soldiers who have been intensively trained, like him, are quietly waiting for the arrival of the Beirong people.
