"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor has decreed: "
"The son of Zierjia, he requested to guard the border. His loyalty is commendable.”
"I have specially appointed him as a lieutenant of Piao Yao. He will lead 3,000 troops to the frontier.”
In the main hall of the Ningguo Mansion, Su Peicheng, the Palace Lord of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, handed the imperial edict to Jia Feng with a warm expression.
"General's decree!"
Jia Cui gladly accepted the order.
No one noticed the trace of surprise in his eyes.
Throughout the ages, there was only one person who could be a Biao Yao Commandant. Or rather, the military position of Biao Yao Commandant was established for him.
This person was the champion of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing.
In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the 17-year-old Huo Qubing was appointed as a lieutenant of Piao Yao by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He followed Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu in the south of the desert. He killed more than 2,000 enemies with 800 light cavalry, including the Xiongnu prime minister, Danghu, the ancestor of the Chanyu, Ji Ruohou Chan, and the uncle of the Chanyu, Luo Gubi.
Thus, Huo Qubing was once called Huo Biaobing.
The significance of the Biao Yao Commandant was extraordinary. It was not a military position that could simply send troops to fight independently.
It had to be said that in this matter, Jia Fou was stunned by the huge power hidden by the Jia family.
With just Jia Jing's actions, he could be conferred the title of Biao Yao Lieutenant. How unbelievable was this!
"Commandant Jia."
"His Majesty is extremely appreciative of your request for an edict to set out.”
"I was specially ordered to bring twenty sets of steel armor and ten Ujimqin horses.”
"I hope you won't let down the emperor's will and make contributions as soon as possible to raise the prestige of our Great Gan.”
Just as the announcement of the decree ended, Su Peicheng, the Palace Lord of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, smiled at Jia Cui and reminded him.
"Yes, this general will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty and the country!”
Although Jia Fu felt some disdain in his heart, a dignified emperor with this kind of bearing was actually so stingy with his rewards, how laughable.
However, he still showed a loyal and patriotic look.
When you are young, you should strictly abide by your words and deeds, and make sure that the handle is exposed to the outside world.
"Eunuch Su must be tired after traveling so far. Why don't you come in and have a drink?”
Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Manor, quickly stepped forward and said with a flattering expression.
However, Su Peicheng rejected him politely." Please wait a moment, General Jia. I still need to go to the Defender Duke's Mansion to announce the decree. It's not convenient for me to stay for long. I'll take my leave now."”
"I'll send my father-in-law out."
Jia Cui immediately continued the conversation and inadvertently flicked a banknote into Su Peicheng's sleeve.
It was a banknote of five thousand taels issued by Da Qian's largest bank, Da Tong Bank. One could withdraw five thousand taels of silver from any branch of Da Tong Bank.
Sometimes, these greedy eunuchs could play a more important role than the so-called dignitaries.
Especially Su Peicheng, who Emperor Yong Xi trusted the most.
Perhaps he had noticed Jia Cui's actions, but the smile on Su Peicheng's face grew wider, and his impression of this young man grew even stronger.
On the contrary, Jia Zhen, who was in charge of the Ningguo Manor, was left out by the two of them.
How could the Internal Minister of the Palace of Heavenly Purity think highly of a mere silkpants who had inherited the title of General Wei Lie under the shadow of his ancestors?
Da Qian inherited the Ming Dynasty, and the lord system was dominated by the sons of dukes and marquises. Dukes and marquises were all super-grade officials, and their status was higher than that of officials of the first grade.
Below it, the son of the uncle is divided into three grades, non-hereditary can not be inherited; Further down was the General Rank, which was divided into three grades. The first grade was the highest, and the third grade was the lowest.
The grand Ningguo Manor had been passed down for four generations. Jia Jing still had a hereditary first-class Godly General, while Jia Zhen only had a third-class Godly General left.
Moreover, this third-grade mighty general could not be inherited and was already the lowest rank of Lord.
If it were to reach Jia Rong's hands, he would probably lose his title.
"Father."
"Them!"
Seeing Jia Zhen's face turn from a smile to green, then to purple-black, Jia Rong was a little timid.
"Hmph, how did I give birth to such a trash like you? You don't even dare to stand on the edge of the city.”
Jia Zhen felt rather unhappy, but she didn't dare to be angry at Su Peicheng and Jia Rong, so she could only vent her anger at Jia Rong.
"Yes."
Jia Rong was scolded and hurriedly walked towards the backyard, looking extremely embarrassed.
This father and son pair was like a cat and a mouse, with a great deal of power.
.....
On the other side.
After sending Su Peicheng out of Ningguo Manor, Jia Fu turned around and returned to the east courtyard, not paying any attention to Jia Zhen and the others.
"Second Master!"
Lian Yue, Yao Wu, and the other maids and attendants hurriedly went forward to welcome them.
"Yes."
"Yaowu, go inform Xiang Que to meet at the outskirts of the Divine Capital tomorrow morning.”
"How's the preparation going?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Jia Fou directly asked.
"Second Master."
"I have completed all the tasks you asked me to do.”
"Fifty thousand taels of silver bought a large number of cattle and sheep in the Divine Capital and sent people to make meat floss. It's enough to feed three thousand people for more than a few months.”
"In addition, purchase milk and make about 2000 dan of flour. Find six guides who are familiar with the terrain of the desert north.”
Yaowu hurriedly reported.
"Good, well done. Send these things to Swallow Mountain immediately.”
"You will personally escort them."
Looking deeply at Yaowu, Jia Fu ordered solemnly.
"Yes."
Yaowu immediately turned around and left the east courtyard.
The meat floss was the absolute magic weapon that the Mongolian cavaliers used to conquer Asia and Europe.
Every autumn, the Mongolians would kill the old and weak livestock. After a series of treatments, a cow or sheep would be made into meat floss and stored in a small bag made of sheepskin. It could guarantee a person's rations for several months. When eating, they only needed to soak it in water.
As for milk powder, it was also a good thing to replenish his strength.
Recruiting a guide was a necessary step for an expedition beyond the Great Wall, and it was also an experience that Jia Kui had learned from Huo Qubing.
In the past, when Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu, he would often invade the grasslands with light cavalry. He would travel hundreds or even thousands of miles and would always be able to find his enemies. He would not lose his way in the grasslands and would rely on the Xiongnu guides.
In such a short period of time, it was impossible to be foolproof.
Thus, Jia Cui could only rely on his memory to make as much preparations as possible.
From the very beginning, he had met Jia Jing just to pave the way for today. How could he have the chance to create monstrous battle achievements by fighting alongside the army?
On the contrary, wandering outside and looking for opportunities on their own might be able to obtain extraordinary merits like Huo Qubing.
