Chapter 41: General worship, banquet(1/2)

 Jia Hui had known Lin Chong a few years ago, but had never met.

When Jia Daishan took him to visit the martial arts masters in various martial arts schools in the capital, he also visited Zhou Tong. When he found his home, he found out that Zhou Tong had already left the capital and traveled around the world. The only thing left was to leave the capital and work hard.

Shi Wengong, who was packing his bags, is still at home.

From Shi Wengong's mouth, Jia Hui also learned about the general situation of their three brothers, senior brother Lu Junyi, third junior brother Lin Chong, and him, second senior brother Shi Wengong. Since Jia Hui had never practiced Fang Tian Hua Ji, he just chatted a few times.

The sentence left.

Time flies, and it has been seven years since I heard the name Lin Chong again.

Eight days after his first trip to the capital camp, Jia Hui came to the capital camp again to watch the military competition.

Eight days ago, he, who was not familiar with the Beijing Camp, ordered all the cavalry officers and soldiers in the army to organize an army-wide competition eight days later, regardless of their birth qualifications, only their own strength.

Eight days later, Jia Hui was fully clothed and rushed into the military camp carrying a horse with a headless head used for martial arts.

I will beat a group of you all by myself!

From half an hour after midnight to sunset, Jia Hui fought the whole game and only ate a roast leg of lamb for lunch. Then he fought again, changing six horses in a row, and defeated one challenger after another.

Three people stood out.

Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi.

Lin Chong went out to work for a while after becoming a teacher. It was not until his father passed away that he returned to the capital. As soon as the filial piety period was over, he married his childhood sweetheart Zhang Zhenniang, who was next door, and was then hired as the spearmanship instructor of the Beijing camp.

Guan Sheng was transferred to the Datong Frontier Army for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits in Jie Liang. He entered the Beijing camp with the troops of the Datong Frontier Army only last year.

As for Yang Zhi, he was a military officer and was sent to the Beijing Camp as a junior officer by the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

These are the only three people in the entire Beijing camp cavalry who can last about forty rounds under Jia Hui.

The happy Jia Hui promoted them on the spot to become his direct subordinates. The three of them suddenly went from low-level military attachés of the eighth or ninth grade to senior military attachés of the fifth grade, achieving a class leap.

At the same time, the 60,000-horse army in the Beijing camp was completely impressed by Jia Hui's bravery.

After midnight in the early morning, Jia Hui also arrived at the location of his Sanqianying camp.

"The humble Guan Sheng (Lin Chong, Yang Zhi) meets the general!"

Guan Sheng and the others have been waiting in the main hall of the barracks for a long time.

"No courtesy, come on, sit down quickly." Jia Hui put down the document in his hand and looked up at the three of them, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Are you all ready? There is no need to march in the country this time, and supplies can be obtained at any time. Clothing, shoes and socks, armor, and horse gear must be prepared. There are not many master craftsmen in the army, so what's the problem?

But it may not be possible to fix it immediately!" Jia Hui warned. As a person with four years of expedition experience, his experience is far beyond that of the three people who have only suppressed bandits in China.

"General, we are all ready. I asked Brother Hu Jiu to check it yesterday. Brother Hu said that everything is ready."

Jia Hui glanced at his own soldier Hu Jiu, who nodded, and Jia Hui understood.

"That's OK. This expedition will be mainly based on the cavalry army. Our twelve 3,000 battalions of cavalry troops from the Beijing camp will all go out. In addition to the cavalry troops transferred from Jiubian, there will be almost 80,000 people. Eighty thousand people want to

It’s not easy to stand out, and various factors are indispensable.

It's your own business to go into battle and kill the enemy. All I can do is equip you with good equipment. As for armor, the standard armor from Beijing Camp is very good. There is no need to prepare anything else. When you go to receive the armor, tell me your name and receive one.

Just put on brand new armor.

Prepare the weapons yourself. If you don’t have enough money, ask me to borrow them.

Then there are the horses, but with your wealth, you probably won’t be able to buy any good horses. I still have a few good horses from Ili. You can take two of them each!” Jia Hui waved his hand and sponsored the weapons and equipment for the three of them.

.

Guan Shenglin stood up excitedly towards Yang Zhi and the others, his hands trembling.

"I would like to thank you, General, and I will die for you from now on!"

The three of them quickly knelt down on one knee, raised their fists with their hands and raised their heads above their heads to salute Jia Hui.

"If it weren't for your own abilities, I wouldn't have treated you like this. If you were the one who couldn't hold up the wall with mud, do you think I would have looked at you? Okay, Hu Jiu, take Guan Qianhu and the others with you.

Go get the armor and war horses, and call the twelve commanders over for a meeting." Jia Hui waved his hand, indicating that it was time for them to go out. Hu Jiu agreed and took the three still excited people to select war horses.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about with the Khalkha people. Khalkha itself is on the weak side, especially now that it is being beaten by Monan. They don't care about anything. The survival of Khalkha is the most important thing.

, what's more, they have no capital.

After three days of symbolic talks, the emperor ordered the Northern Expedition!

Having received an order long ago, the Nine-Border Frontier Army on standby in Fangshan, southwest of Beijing, entered the camp in the west of Beijing and waited for the emperor's review.

"Brother!" Ningling County Prince Kuang led the border troops from Guyuan Town into the capital camp first.

"Hey, Lao Hou, you came here then!" Seeing his old brother, Jia Hui was particularly excited. He quickly hugged Hou Kuang and patted Hou Kuang's back vigorously.

"Ahem, eldest brother, I have someone under my command. Look, who did I bring?" Hou Kuang quickly begged for mercy and flashed back to Jia Hui the moment he let go.

"Who is it?" Jia Hui was about to go out to take a look when an eight-foot-tall bearded man opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Hahaha, brother Jia Hui!"

"Oh, Brother Lu, why are you here too!" Jia Hui was a little surprised, grabbed Luda's arm, and led him to his seat.

Hou Kuang curled his lips and found a seat to sit down.

"Brother Lu, didn't you say you would follow Elder Zhizhen to Dayun Temple? What..."

"Ah, brother, didn't I go to Dayun Temple with Elder Zhizhen? I stayed in Dayun Temple for more than a month before leaving. I was walking towards Wutai Mountain when I met Brother Hou leading people to the capital.<

/p>

My brother thought something had happened, so he reported his name and title. Only then did he realize that he was going to go on the Northern Expedition, so he must be helping out! When he passed by Wutai Mountain, he sent Elder Zhizhen up to the mountain, and he followed the troops.

Beijing!" Ruda told Jia Hui about his experience during this period.

"That's a coincidence! It just so happens that with Brother Lu here, this Northern Expedition will have a better chance of winning, hahaha!" Jia Hui laughed.

A few more jokes.

"By the way, Brother Lu, can you still wear that armor?" Jia Hui suddenly thought.

"This... I haven't worn it since I was knighted that day. Let me try it now." Ruda quickly asked his soldiers to bring his heavy armor.

It fits fine.

This armor was from when Ruda first entered the military camp. The commander-in-chief of Gansu Province admired Ruda, and the heavy armor was tailor-made for him. The eight-foot-tall heavy-armoured man could hold a mace or a gallbladder, and he was as good as a weapon.

A humanoid tank equipped with iron cavalry.

"The armor fits just right, but the weapon is a little too light to hold on to."

"It's simple. I remember that Brother Lu used a terrestris stick, right? When I visited the Jingying Arsenal a few days ago, I saw a 50-pound terrestris stick. Brother Lu took it for himself." Jia Hui

After recalling it, he said to Ruda.

Since we are fighting for our country, we naturally cannot let the soldiers be troubled by their armaments. We must try our best to prepare the armaments to be as foolproof as possible. Ruda must have reasonable equipment, not to mention that Ruda is the son of Pingliang County, so it is only natural to prepare the equipment for him.

.

Another day later, after the last batch of border troops entered the military camp, the emperor ordered generals such as Yun Yu and Jia Hui to enter the imperial city to conduct a general worship ceremony.

The emperor did not preside over the general worship ceremony, but asked the emperor to preside over it.

After the morning court ended, the emperor took Yun Yu out of the Huangji Hall, walked to the side hall at the back, and gave Yun Yu instructions according to the prescribed lines.

Afterwards, at the auspicious time chosen by the Qin Tian Jian, Yun Yu and others who had taken a bath and fasted in advance entered the Ancestral Temple.

The emperor, who had already changed into his military uniform, stood in front of the royal palace of the two former emperors, facing south, quietly looking at the old commander Yun Yu who was walking towards him.

Different from the cumbersome costumes of the emperor, Da Qi abolished many of the costumes of civil and military officials, such as Wu Bian uniforms, etc. The formal attire worn in formal occasions only retained the beam crown and sacrificial robes. When military generals went on an expedition, it was stipulated that all expedition personnel should wear ceremonial robes.

A.

Yun Yu was now wearing the bright brass armor given by Emperor Taizong.

When Yun Yu walked to the emperor facing north, the emperor turned around and took out a jade ax that could be held in one hand from the box on the altar. He held the ax and the ax handle respectively and handed them to Yun Yu, each with instructions.

.

He handed the ax to Yun Yu, and Yun Yu held the ax handle. The emperor shouted: "From now on, whoever ascends to heaven will be controlled by the general."

Then, Yun Yu let go, and the emperor held the ax handle again and pointed the ax blade towards Yun Yu. The emperor shouted again: "Whoever goes down to the abyss from now on will be controlled by the general." From then on, the emperor handed over the power of life and death in this war.

He gave it to Yun Yu, and at the same time, the ax blade was pointed towards Yun Yu, which was actually a warning to the general to respect himself.

After the two went through several more dialogue procedures, the ceremony of bowing to general was completed.

The group returned to Huangji Hall again. Guanglu Temple had already prepared a banquet, waiting for the emperor and others to take their seats.

Just after everyone took their seats, the emperor also entered the Huangji Hall.

Guanglu Temple’s royal banquet, which was passed down from the Han Dynasty, was delicious and already cold, was served.

Jia Hui, who had been bathing and fasting for three days with Yun Yu, and whose eyes turned green from hunger, saw the so-called meat soup served in a copper cauldron with a thick layer of mutton oil already solidified.

My appetite is gone.

Even on the plateau, I have never felt so wronged!

Jia Hui's eyes twitched, and he quietly looked around and found that even the two saints had almost the same expression as everyone else.
