The Red Mansions

Chapter 1017 Jia Heng: Okay, there's another jealous person

Jin Xiaoyu sent troops from Huangyuan, the bridgehead of Xining Prefecture, and led [-] soldiers and horses to Haiyan City.

The army marched quickly, and had just arrived in Haiyan, and under Jin Xiaoyu's order, they attacked the small Haiyan County.

The Mongolian soldiers in the city were caught off guard, and boarded the city to fight against Jin Xiaoyu's Xining guards and horses. From noon to evening, there was a sound of "squeak" at the city gate.

Jin Xiaoyu led the soldiers of Xining Prefecture into the city, and the Mongolian wolf flag that had been hanging on the top of the city was thrown under the city, and replaced with the black and red satin Chinese character flag of the Han army.

Twilight was sinking, the moon was hanging high, and the sound of shouting and killing around gradually became smaller.

The general reported that Haiyan City had been broken, and the Mongolian soldiers and horses in the city fled westward.

"Don't chase after poor bandits, enter the city first, and take over Haiyan City." Jin Xiaoyu, dressed in bright silver armor and a green cloak, ordered.

Following the military order, the mighty army surrounded Jin Xiaoyu and entered the county seat. After entering the main hall of the official hall, the big horse sat down on the official chair under the blue sky and white sun. On the young and handsome face, there was a look of joy and complacency in his heart. Full.

Jin Xiaoyu's face was excited, and he ordered the civil servants on the side: "Report the victory to the imperial court."

"Yes." The official said loudly.

Jin Xiaoyu turned to look at the middle-aged general in the maroon mountain-patterned armor, and said in an excited voice, "Uncle, although these Mongolian soldiers and horses are unparalleled in field battles, they are not good at defending the city. After a short charge, they will abandon the city and flee. After resting for a while, I sent my troops westward and recovered Qinghai in one fell swoop, shocking everyone."

He, Jin Xiaoyu, was not much worse than that little Jia Heng. With the strength of the guards and horses of the Xining Mansion, he swept across Qinghai, no problem.

In the past, the father wanted to take care of the overall situation and didn't want the court to take the opportunity to intervene in Qinghai affairs, so this gave Qinghai Mongolia a chance.

If he can wipe out Hehuang, shock the Hu, and want to promote the power of the Han in Qinghai, Jin Xiaoyu can also successfully subdue the doubts of the Jin family.

At this time, Jin Xiaoyu's uncle Zhan Yunguo, who came with the army, was not so relaxed. He reminded: "Yu'er should not underestimate the enemy. There are 6 soldiers from Qinghai Qianghu and Mongolian Qiang who dared to fight, and now they have recovered Haiyan. In the future, we should quickly build the city and send spies to Qinghai to spy on the movement of several Taiji people in Heshuote, and if they come in large numbers, we should send more reinforcements to Xining."

Jin Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Uncle's words are true. General Hao sent the Mongols and Han people in the city to build the city and Wubao. This king will make this an outpost for my big Han to march into the Western Regions!"

A dark-skinned general of medium stature came out with his fists clasped, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will live up to your highness' expectations!"

After Jin Xiaoyu assigned the generals to the city one by one, he looked at Zhan Yunguo expectantly, and said, "Uncle, if this battle can shock the captives in Qinghai, then the court will also be shaken by it, and maybe I will be recognized as commander. Prepare the army, regain the old places of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and go straight to the outside of the Great Wall."

Jingying achieved brilliant results in Xuanda, which is enough to show that the national strength and military strength of the Han Dynasty have recovered, and he can't fall behind that little Jia Heng in the northwest.

Zhan Yunguo frowned, and said, "Yu'er, take back Hehuang and march into the Western Regions. It depends on the wishes of the ministers and officials in the temple. You should not be reckless."

But Jin Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously, and said: "When the battle is together, I will tell the court to use the grand plan of the Holy Majesty, how can I not allow it?"

Then why did Jia Heng's son keep winning the honor and favor of the holy family every time, and didn't he always win the battle?

This is his external extension, even rarer than that kid.

Seeing the smug Jin Xiaoyu, Zhan Yunguo felt a layer of worry in his heart.

While the uncle and nephew were talking, near the unknown valley to the west of Qinghai Lake, more than 100 miles away from Haiyan City, tents stood next to the amber-like Qinghai Lake, like white clouds in the green grassland. .

As night falls, the bright moon is in the sky, and there are only a few stars on the clear sky.

In a tent with gold as the top and inlaid with pearls and agates, the lights are brightly lit, as bright as the day.

In the tent, a group of Heshuote Mongolian executives were drinking happily, talking and laughing loudly, and the voices of dancing girls and Hu Le could be heard from time to time.

Dorji, the sixth son of Gu Shihan, was sitting on a large bearded chair with his chest bared, a tuft of chest hair was particularly eye-catching. On a long table in front of him were cut watermelons, grapes and other seasonal fruits and vegetables. , and the full bottle of wine in the wine bottle is as bright as blood under the light.

Gushi Khan (Gushi Khan) is the nineteenth grandson of Genghis Khan's younger brother, Khasar, and the fourth son of Oirat Khan Haninoyan Hongguoer.

And Gu Shihan entrusted Badaiji in Qinghai, and the sixth son, Dorji, was near Qinghai Lake.

At this moment, Dolji's generals and followers were sitting not far from the lower head, accompanied by a few scantily clad women serving drinks.

Dolji looked around and said with emotion: "Since Father Khan's expedition to Tibet, Qinghai has been calm, and the Han people have also shrunk to Xining Prefecture. The pasture around the holy lake is rich and fertile. It is the hometown where we can live for a long time."

The other subordinates in the tent laughed loudly.

Qinghai was called the land of Hehuang in ancient times. It was a mixed residence of Qiang and Hu in the past dynasties. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the former Ming Dynasty established and established four guards outside the Great Wall. During the Zhengde and Jiajing years, all were lost. The Ming army retreated to the east of Jiayuguan, and the vast land of the Western Regions disappeared. It is owned by the Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Central Plains.

Chen Han inherited the pre-Ming Dynasty, and during the Taizu and Taizong years, he mainly cleared up the resistance of the former Ming clan and the elders in the northwest and Bashu, and did not set foot in Hehuang.

In the last years of Emperor Taizong of the Chen Han Dynasty, as the country was established for a long time and the world gradually became more and more stable, the Central Committee of Chen Han also tried to recover the four guards outside the Great Wall and marched into the Western Regions, but the remaining Mongolian tribes were entrenched in Qinghai, and it has not been able to make it.

After the defeat of Liaodong during the Longzhi period, the national power of the Han court was greatly damaged, and the national policy of comprehensive contraction was also adopted in frontier defense, and it was even more unable to attack the land of Qinghai, and even regain the more distant Western Regions.

The current Western Regions are occupied by the Zhungeer Khanate, and Heshuote Mongolia also established the Heshuote Khanate after pacifying Qinghai, and Gu Shihan has led troops to conquer Tibet.

It can be said that Chen Han's northwest direction is in a delicate balance, but it will become unstable after a long time.

While drinking and drinking in the tent, a burly man with a big face, a snub nose, and a beard under his chin strode into the tent, clasped his fists and said, "Taiji, Jurchen King Yuetuo coming."

Dorji nodded, put down his wine glass, and said, "Please come here."

After a while, Yue Tuo led several handsome men into the tent, saluted Dolji, and said, "Dear Taiji."

Yue Tuo has been here for a few days, and Dorji has been entertaining him with delicious food and drink.

Dolji smiled and nodded, "Yue Tuotaiji, please take your seat."

Yue Tuo thanked him, then sat down nearby, and the servant poured wine.

Dolji laughed and said, "I heard what your Excellency said the day before yesterday that Meng'an sent troops to capture Haiyan, taking cattle, sheep, grains, gold, silver and jewels beyond count."

Yue Tuo's face was calm, and he smiled and said: "Taiji, this is just a small fight, it's not worth mentioning, Xining has just changed hands, and the Han people are panicking, if you can take Xining, use it as your capital, and attack the Central Plains At that time, why worry about not being able to reproduce the glory of the Golden Family?"

Dolji shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "Before Father Khan left, he repeatedly told him not to have too many conflicts with the Han people. It was only a test before, and occupying Haiyan is already a big step."

"But the Han people may not just sit back and watch Haiyan fall. The Han people just won a big victory not long ago, and they are bound to be ambitious to open up the Western Regions and regain the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties." Yue Tuo said with a smile.

Dolji said: "This matter is too far away, it's really not too late to think about it at that time."

At this time, one of Dolji's generals put down his wine cup and said with a smile, "I heard that you just suffered a defeat in the east. Even if the Han people regain their homeland, they will attack Liaodong first."

Dolji frowned, picked up the glass of wine in his hand, and observed Yue Tuo's reaction with a calm expression on his face.

During this period of time, with the contact with Yue Tuo, Yue Tuo's courage and ability left a deep impression on Dolji, and he felt a little sympathy for each other.

Yue Tuo said: "Not necessarily! Although our country has been defeated, our national strength has not been lost at all. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in armor. The Han court dare not pursue them at all. Instead, the Qinghai tribes in the northwest are like a mass of scattered sand, like the Han people using troops in the northwest. , will probably win a big victory, my family's emperor is worried that Qinghai Mongolia will be broken by the Han court, so he sent me to discuss with Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan the plan to resist the Han and prevent the Han army from expanding eastward."

Dolji frowned, and said, "Xining doesn't look like sending troops recently."

Since taking down Haiyan City, Duoerji has also been paying attention to the movement of Xining Mansion, but seeing the silence, he gradually feels relieved.

Continue to run like a horse, and dance like a dance.

But Yue Tuo persuaded: "Taiji, the Han people have a good saying, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, and now that Heshuote is grazing around Qinghai, it can be done at any time, but not necessarily Huangyuan and Xining, the Han army will definitely send troops to recover. "

While everyone was discussing, suddenly the neighing of war horses came from outside the tent, and it spread far away in the lonely summer night where the night sky was full of stars.

"Taiji is not good." A short man with three-strand braids trotted into the tent and said anxiously, "Meng'an led the men back."

Meng'an was the Mongolian general who occupied Haiyan County. He originally led [-] troops to station in Haiyan.

Not long after, the fat Meng An entered the military tent, blood and sweat were seen on his chubby face, and he said: "Taiji, the Han soldiers have attacked Haiyan City and have taken back the city."

Dorzi's face suddenly changed, his tiger eyes shot out, and he said, "What's going on?"

Meng An was out of breath, and after narrating the situation of Haiyan's fall, he said: "The Han army is coming in large numbers, the city is small, our army is no match, so we can only abandon the city and flee, and hope that Taiji will forgive us."

Hearing this, Doerji's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he said, "How dare the Han army send troops?"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Yue Tuo who was at the side, with dark eyes, and said, "The Han people have recaptured Haiyan again, what's your strategy?"

Why does he have a faint feeling of being calculated.

Yue Tuo said: "Taiji, after the Han people regained Haiyan City, they will never give up. They will definitely send troops to conquer Qinghai. Taiji should make plans early."

"What is the strength of the soldiers and horses in the Xining Mansion?" Dolji asked, frowning.

Meng An's eyes flashed brightly, and he explained: "The combat power is average, but they rushed into the city with guns and guns. The city is too small to spread out. I was worried that my men would suffer too many casualties, so I had to withdraw from the city. , there are [-] soldiers and horses under him."

Dolji thought for a while, his eyes flickered, and seeing a trace of determination, he said in a deep voice: "Call together several other units to deal with the Han army, send letters to Yilduqi and Darji, and let their troops gather in Qinghai, and they will fight against the Han army." Han army!"

If he can defeat the Han army and advance to Xining, after Father Khan takes charge of Lhasa, he will be Taiji, the general manager of Qinghai.

Yue Tuo was overjoyed when he heard this.

In this way, the entire Qinghai Mongolia and the Han court faced each other, and once the war started, the Han court could not help it to recuperate.

Of course, he will also help Dolji defeat Hanting's troops.

……

……

Just when the Han army outside Xining Mansion won the first battle, the Mongolians from Qinghai arrived after hearing the news. When the battle clouds in the northwest were thick, the city of Shenjing was calm.

Ningguo Mansion, the courtyard near Jiamu——

It was noon, and Jia Heng sat aside, watching Yuanyang and Xiren talking.

As Yuanyang said, Mother Jia didn't send anyone over to call, she seemed to give this young couple who had reunited after a long absence a chance to be alone.

"This is the new tea this year, take a sip." Yuanyang looked at Xiren softly and said with a light smile.

Xi Ren said, and couldn't help seeing the ring on Yuanyang's finger, his eyes moved slightly, and he said with a light smile: "Then I will have a good taste."

Because Jia Heng was not far away, it was impossible for the two servant girls to pretend that Jia Heng didn't exist. Although Xi Ren was joking, he was a little more scruples after all.

Jia Heng asked: "Xi Ren, when does sister Lin usually take a nap?"

Xiren said softly: "Not necessarily, but most of the time, the girl is usually very happy, talking and laughing with Miss Yun and Miss San, that is, these two days, maybe the uncle is too busy to watch looking at the girl."

The young couple is now mixing oil with honey, and if they don't see each other for a few days, Miss Lin doesn't think about eating or drinking.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go and see her later."

That day at the Zhuijin Building in Zilingzhou, I told Daiyu that I had time to visit Daiyu, but these days passed, and I didn't have much time.

Daiyu stayed up late at night, maybe it has something to do with taking a nap and not being sleepy at night?

Xiren looked at the thoughtful young man on the handsome face, pursed his pink lips, his heart was pounding, and he said softly: "You don't have to worry too much, Mr. Lin, thinking about the years after Miss Lin entered the mansion, I don't know how many tears shed, and my body is very weak, and now I am very different from before."

Jia Heng said: "Sister Lin..."

A smile appeared on Yuanyang Yadan's face, and she said softly: "Why don't you go see Miss Lin first, I'm fine."

Jia Heng: "..."

Well, there is another jealousy here.

Of course, it may not be jealousy.

Going closer, he took the girl's slender hand, put it in it, looked at the girl with sharp eyebrows, and said softly: "This one is here to accompany you."

Yuanyangfang's heart skipped a beat, her beautiful cheeks were as red as the clouds, she gently pulled her plain hand away, and said, "The others are still there."

Seeing the intimate scene of the two, Xiren felt both envy and sadness in his heart, with a broad smile on his face, he said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm going outside."

As he said that, he got up, but his back was somewhat lonely.

Seeing the attacker leave, Yuanyang Fangxin became more and more shy, turned her head, and said angrily: "I really have no face to face people later."

There is also a bit of sweetness in her heart. In front of her best friend, she is so intimate and doting, even if the mandarin duck has a heart of gold, it is inevitable that her heart will be filled with joy.

Jia Heng hugged the tall girl in her arms, poked into her clothes, gently grabbed the mandarin duck, and joked with a smile: "You grew up together, will she still laugh at you?"

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, when he was making out with Daiyu, Xiren also saw him, and even peeked at the more voluptuous scenes.

Of course, Xiren was really quiet and never showed any signs of change.

After being teased by Jia Heng, Yuanyang's body was soft, her breath was slight, her eyebrows and eyes mixed with joy and shame, she quickly took Jia Heng's hand that had been inserted into her skirt, and said shamefully: "Husband, don't make trouble, please... please forgive me. "

If she were to be here, she would really have no face to serve the old lady anymore.

Listening to the girl begging for mercy in desperation, Jia Heng looked at the girl with charming eyebrows and charming eyes, and could already touch the girl's overflowing thoughts, and said with a light smile: "When you are free these two days, go to the garden. How about looking for me at Qichi Court? I usually go back to rest at night."

One of Lan Xi still needs to develop a relationship, and the other is too young to fight. Yuanyang can go to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

Yuanyang's cheeks were blushing, her brows and eyes were curved, and she hummed like a mosquito.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's do this for today, it's getting late."

If it weren't for the fact that Jiamu's courtyard was not easy to make troubles, he and Yuanyang wouldn't just appeal for lovesickness.

After saying that, he got up, left the wing room, looked at Xiren, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Xiaoxiang Hall to have a look."

Xiren responded, and then returned to the Grand View Garden.

At that time, the sky was getting close to the evening, the originally hot summer heat had gradually receded, and the cool wind suddenly picked up. The branches and leaves of vines on the white walls and green trees on both sides swayed gently with the wind, and butterflies came and went from time to time, either red or yellow. Between the little flowers, I worked hard to gather honey.

Jia Heng and Xi Ren walked along the corridor, casually asking Xi Ren about Daiyu's diet and daily life.

Xiren said softly: "Master Heng, the girl is quite normal these days."

Jia Heng looked at the girl, nodded and said: "Xi Ren, you have been with Sister Lin for more than a year, and you have worked hard during this time."

Sunny is Dai Ying, and Xi is the deputy of Chai.

Xiren served Daiyu this year with all his heart, because Xiren was shrewd and considerate, which saved Daiyu a lot of thought.

Whether it's the normal relationship between the sisters, or the birthdays of the wives and grandmas in Ningrong and Rongfu, Xiren can help remind and manage it.

"Master." Upon hearing this, Xi Ren's heart was shocked, he turned his eyes to look at the young man, and summoned up his courage to ask, "Master Heng, is this going to drive me away?"

Jia Heng frowned, and said, "It's so good, what are you driving away for?"

How did this all come together?

Xiren Yuyan turned to the side, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "Even if the uncle doesn't drive me away, I still want to go back. Recently, my brother and I have discussed that they plan to redeem me and go back to marry someone. I am thinking about it." Do you want to answer it or not?"

For some reason, I suddenly wanted to mention this matter in front of the Duke.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then asked: "What is your family asking you to do at this time?"

I remember that in the original book, there was such an incident, and then the attacker tried Baoyu, and got a promise from Baoyu, but it didn't take long for Baoyu to eat her heart.

The second is later.
