Chapter 852: The King's World Affairs (3)
Jia Huan's grim expression made Kharchenko, the owner of the North and South Goods Store in Naren City, feel an unspeakable pressure.
I think it is also, although Jia Huan is young, he is a town, and his bearing is far more comparable. He gave him a cold look, very sharp. Not something a small businessman can afford!
Jia Huan said lightly: "How old are you this year?" ”
"43 years old."
Kharchenko replied cowardly. He regretted that he had agreed to this errand in front of the local merchants: to persuade Jia Zhijun to take back his life. The Zhou army did not rob gold and silver, but collected grain, medicinal herbs, spirits, cloth and other materials.
All the inhabitants of the city, regardless of race, were driven away. This is too much of a loss for local businessmen.
"How old is your father?"
"How old is your grandfather?"
Kharchenko didn't understand why Jia Huan asked this question, so he didn't dare to answer randomly, and was slightly stunned.
Jia Huan walked out from behind the desk, stepped on the ground, and said righteously: "During the Tang Dynasty, this was the homeland of the Han family. You have not been in existence for more than a hundred years. How dare you say that it is yours in front of this officer?
Since ancient times, broken leaves have been a sacred and inseparable part of the Han family's territory! ”
Jia Huan got up, and more than a dozen officials, clerks, and school captains in the lobby all looked at him. At this time, everyone couldn't help but shout: "The envoy is good! ”
"Good!"
Jia Huan glanced at Kharchenko again, and said indifferently: "Besides, the shore of the land is not the king's land!" Extremely reckless, all of them are my Han family's concubines! Where Zhou rides is, it is the Han land. How dare you say that the city of Naryn is yours? ”
Kharchenko was speechless. What can he say? Speaking of historical origins? Say Jia Huan is a hooligan?
Verbal violence, the same hooliganism! Jia Huan is engaging in verbal violence. Moreover, the words are high-sounding!
But what can he do? The rules in the Western Regions and the grasslands are that the strong are respected, can he say that what Jia Huan said is not right?
Where Zhou rides, it is Han soil!
"Take it down."
About twenty minutes later, Kharchenko left the general's palace and returned to the dock outside Naryn City, explaining to the surrounding merchants the details of the meeting with Jia Envoy.
A merchant looked at the walls of Naryn and said hatefully, "That's what he said!" I watched how he explained when the Khan's army arrived. Let's go! "Cross the river with a few good businessmen and head to Broken Leaves.
…
…
Hundreds of messengers, galloping across the territory of the Western Regions, delivering news.
The news that Jia Huan led his army to capture Naren City soon reached Broken Leaves. And Fengde Khan had sent a messenger to contact Baye Gu Xiaode as early as a month earlier, agreeing to an alliance and jointly dealing with the Zhou army.
Jia Huan didn't know this.
In the morning, the harmonious sun shone on the Pearl River, and there were bursts of waves. Fishing gulls skim over the calm surface of the lake.
Jia Huan stood at the head of the city, looking at the scene in the city. Zhang Sishui and Yang Dayan followed with their guards. The cold wind blew Jia Huan's red cloak, and the hunting sounded.
Leaving the familiar Shule and arriving at this town-like city, there is a sense of unfamiliarity, which arises spontaneously from the bottom of my heart.
The equipment of the Zhou army was mainly firearms. It is not very dependent on the city walls. Jia Huan did not mobilize the people to repair the city wall, but dug deep trenches and laid out horses to resist. By the time he drove the Turkishes out of the city, it had become a military stronghold.
The message is leaky, and the inside and outside are not connected.
Jia Huan didn't think about the conversation he had with Kharchenko a few days ago. He was talking about the scene. Break the leaves for the troops, find a name, and stand on your heels! The teacher is famous!
However, the real truth is very simple: next to the couch, how can you allow others to snore? When the Zhou army captured Beiting, they must take back Gongyue City, an important town in Beiting. As for the capture of the Bow Moon City, it is necessary to start a war with the Turgish people, and the broken leaf must also be returned. Otherwise, would such fertile land be in the hands of the Turgish, and raise poisonous snakes to bite themselves?
In Jia Huan's mind, he was thinking about his current task.
The strategy of the commander of Beiting Qi is still to attack in the east and defend in the west. Although the Beiting cavalry was lost, it still had combat power. His capture of the city of Naryn here is enough to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. Next, he has to withstand the counterattack of the Broken Leaf Turquoise Cavalry!
And to wipe out the Turgish people, you need to wait for Shen Qian's 40,000 troops of Tocharo to come and join him, and then discuss!
At this time, he has the mentality of walking on thin ice. But, in the same way, if he had the opportunity, he didn't want to, just be a partial!
In Shule's sense of powerlessness, he has had enough! Now, how should I deal with the army leading out of the Tianshan Mountains?
There is so much to do. However, those on the opposite side only recognize swords and guns. Since, if you want war, then give you war!
…
…
Jia Huan's letters, sent from Shule, crossed the Green Mountains, and arrived in the Tocharian region. The messenger crossed the Hindu Kush Mountains and chased him to Huwen City to see Shen Qian.
Shen Qian mobilized an army of 20,000 and was preparing to attack Sindh and Punjab in the south. His striker Huang Guan has already attacked the Xindu River.
Under the hill dozens of miles away from Huwen City, a group of Zhou troops were resting, and the mountains in the distance were full of trees. The stream is rushing.
Shen Qian sat on a tree stump, although he was already a famous general of the dynasty and was deeply supported by the generals and soldiers in the army, but he was young, and he would not put any score when he was tired and rested, how convenient and how to come. At this time, he took the letter and read it, and later, sent his own soldiers to invite the guerrilla general Yang Jilai.
Yang Ji was originally Shen Qian's boss, and now he has become Shen Qian's subordinate, but he has no dissatisfaction in his heart. Because, Shen Qian is Jia Huan's quasi-brother-in-law. And it's also a sister. He can fight again. If he is dissatisfied, it will be a water in his brain.
Yang Ji was dressed in armor and came over with a few personal soldiers.
Shen Qian handed Jia Huan's letter to Yang Ji, sighed, and said, "Uncle Shi, Jia has a letter from Jun Jia, we have to withdraw our troops!" ”
He stood up and looked at the river in the distance, his heart full of regret.
He learned from Yi Junjie that Punjab and Sindh were rich in grain. It's a big granary. However, he was unable to personally lead a large army to defeat him.
Yang Ji looked at Jia Huan's letter: The marshal ordered me to go north out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the soldiers forced the leaves to be broken. Fengde Khan had no less than 100,000 troops. Yu Qiao returned with the army as soon as possible, and Liushiyuan commanded the overall situation in Tocharo. The remaining troops are subject to your opinion.
This letter made Yang Ji a little excited in his heart. No matter how good it is in Tocharo, it is useless. Beiting is the main battlefield. Just imagine, if Jia Yuanjun recovers the broken leaves, how much credit will it be in the imperial court?
In this great achievement, can he be promoted to a general?
…
…
Earlier, Jia Huan's letter to Pang Ze arrived at Yao Bojian. Pang Ze supervised the transportation of grain and grass here. Yao Bojian is on the bank of the Wuhu River, not far from Sejiashen City, the capital of the Protector Kingdom. Exactly the right location.
When the messenger arrived, it was noon, and Pang Ze was in his lodgings in the city, enjoying lunch under the service of his concubine.
From Tocharian transporting money and grain to Shule, there are thousands of things and complicated things, but this little bit of overall learning is more than enough to deal with with Pang Ze's talent.
After waiting for the next person to report, Pang Ze opened Jia Huan's letter in the study: Shi Yuan has long had Lingyun Zhi, and he should practice it now. I will use Tocharian to supply the money and food of the war, so as not to lose the way back.
After reading the letter, Pang Ze raised his head and laughed, "Haha! "He's a madman. Then, he straightened his clothes and bowed to the north, "I will not live up to the trust of Ziyu." ”
On August 22, Shen Qian led 40,000 people back north to reinforce Jia Huan. Leave 10,000 troops to Pang Ze to garrison Tochar.
