After Xiang Que left, Jia Fu hugged Namu Qiqige and said gently,"Saihan tribe is very important."
"From now on, you are the ruler of Saihan Tribe. That is something that is left for our son.”
"In the future, our son will become the master of the entire grassland.”
"I'll leave half of the horses and cows for you, and I'll get someone to take the rest.”
"There are coal mines and iron mines on the dam. I will arrange for people to send smelting craftsmen over.”
"From now on, I will arrange for a caravan to leave Gubei Pass every few days. If you need anything, just tell them.”
"If I have time, I will personally go to the dam to see you.”
"Yes!"
Namu Qiqige hugged Jia Fou tightly, his eyes filled with infatuation.
By the time it was 15:00, the sky was already bright.
Xiang Que had already ordered people to complete the construction of Saihan Tribe, with 500 Overlord Cavalry as the backbone and 8,000 Saihan Cavalry under his command.
Only then did Jia Fu send the reluctant Namu Qiqige away.
Only two thousand Overlord Cavalry and six thousand warhorses were left at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain.
"My lord."
"Brothers, get ready."
An Overlord Cavalry reported.
"Yes."
"Pass down the order. The entire army will set off and attack the rear of the Tartars.”
Without any hesitation, Jia Kui mounted his horse and galloped.
Two thousand Overlord Cavalry, each with three horses, turned into a black torrent and headed south.
.....
Great Gan, Divine Capital.
Rongguo Mansion.
"Hehe."
"Sister Lin, come and catch me."
A bell-like voice rang out in the small courtyard.
Two figures, one big and one small, were chasing each other.
Lin Daiyu was wearing a moon-white embroidered dress. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a red gold plaque hairpin on it. There were no flowers on it.
Xichun was wearing a green dress, and her face was full of smiles.
Ever since Jia Cui sent his maid Guan Yan to visit Gu Xichun, Xichun's days had suddenly become much better.
Those grannies, servants, and manservants who used to bully their masters were all punished by Guan Yan, and they no longer dared to disobey him.
It was not that the nannies of Rong Mansion had not thought of complaining, but since Jia Fu was out on an expedition, the two mansions had to be more or less concerned about their reputation.
Moreover, after Guan Yan came to Xichun Yard, she had taken everything she needed from Lian Yue. Without going through the two manors, no one could restrict her.
Yingchun and Tanchun, who usually interacted with Xichun, were a little envious of her.
Surprisingly, Lin Daiyu, who had just arrived at the Jia residence, had become Xichun's good playmate.
Although they were only a few years apart, the two of them spent their days catching butterflies and playing hide-and-seek. They were extremely happy.
After the chase, the two women were drenched in sweat as they sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
"Sister Lin."
"It has been half a month since my brother left for the expedition, but there has been no news at all. I'm so worried about him.”
Xichun suddenly thought of Jia Cui, who was out on the battlefield, and a hint of worry appeared on her small face.
Since childhood, Xichun, who had no parents to love her, was more mature than ordinary children.
It was because of this that Xichun cherished Jia Cui's care for him, and he was very concerned about Jia Cui.
"Fourth Younger Sister need not worry."
"There's a saying in the army,'no faith is peace.' Presumably, Second Older Brother should be in the midst of battle and have no time to send a message back to the capital.”
"Yesterday, I heard from Second Brother Lian that the Northern Expedition Army has already set off for Da Tong.”
"Presumably, in a few days, Second Brother should be able to return.”
Lin Daiyu was a few years older than Xichun and could not help but comfort her.
At this moment, a tall and handsome figure appeared in her eyes.
On that day, the people of the two Manors had sent Jia Fu off outside the door. Jia Fu's heroic appearance in armor was still lingering in her mind.
Despite Jia Wei's warning, the Lady Dowager still ordered people to arrange for Lin Daiyu to live in the green gauze cabinet due to Baoyu's pleading. Baoyu and the Lady Dowager lived together in the warm pavilion of the suite. The distance was very short.
In order to avoid Baoyu's pestering, Lin Daiyu had to come and play with Xichun every day.
Therefore, the sensitive her missed Jia Cui even more than Xichun.
"I'll listen to Sister Lin and wait for Brother to come back.”
Hearing this, Xichun nodded seriously.
Lin Daiyu and Guan Yan were deeply moved by this scene.
As a young lady of the Jia family, Xichun's life was even more difficult than Lin Daiyu's.
........
Datong, an important town on the nine borders.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Brothers, guard the city. Reinforcements are already on the way.”
The dull sound of war drums resounded within a radius of ten miles. Smoke filled the air below Da Tong City, and the sounds of fighting rose and fell.
The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, making one feel nauseous.
Just as the vanguard general Hou Xiaokang had predicted, the Tartars launched an attack at 11:00.
The sky had just turned gray, and the Datong garrison was at its most exhausted. The ferocious Tartars carried ladders and charged forward.
Fortunately, Datong's commander Nian Gengyao arrived in time and led his bodyguards to stabilize their position and retreat the enemy.
The two sides entered a fierce battle, fighting and killing to the point of madness.
It had been four hours now, and the corpses had long been piled up into a small hill below the city.
The city gate of Da Tong was smashed into a deep dent, and blood dyed the ground and city walls red.
One by one, the soldiers of Great Gan engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Tartars. Neither side retreated a single step.
In just a breath's time, the first batch of soldiers had been killed, and a new batch of soldiers had been added to the rear.
One by one, the Tartar soldiers wearing leather armor and wielding scimitars were pierced through by spears and fell heavily from the city wall. They smashed into the ground and turned into a pile of meat paste.
"Sizzle!"
Nian Gengyao's blade slashed at the Tartar soldier opposite him, and blood splattered all over his face.
"General, I think the situation is not right. The Tartars seem to be anxious.”
Hou Xiaokang, the vanguard general next to him, pushed aside his scimitar and slashed the enemy's throat with his sword.
His expression remained cold as he focused his gaze forward and said in a deep voice,"Perhaps the Tartars know that reinforcements are on their way.”
"Since things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. We can only continue to hold on.”
"Men, order the entire supervision team to press forward. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!”
"Yes, sir!"
A personal guard of Duke Xiu's Public House quickly passed down the order.
After a while.
Over a hundred Great Qian soldiers in red leather armor appeared on the city wall and glared at their colleagues around them.
None of the Datong defenders dared to slack off. Their eyes were bloodshot as they desperately killed the enemy.
For a moment, the Tatars were shocked by the madness of the Datong defenders, and their attacks slowed down.
Nian Gengyao took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack, driving all the enemies off the city wall and cutting down the scaling ladders attached to the wall.
The Tatars who charged at the city gate were shot into a sieve by the archers.
Only then did the situation stabilize!
