The big man from the Dream of the Red Chamber!
Beyond the Great Wall!
Jia Hu and the rest were resting on the hill!
"Jia San! Ask the soldiers, who knows how long it will take to reach Shanhaiguan!”
Jia Hu sat on the grass and asked Jia San, who was beside him, while munching on dried mutton.
"Yes, sir!"
Jia San slapped his butt and answered. Then, he walked towards the Tiger Troop Battalion at the back!
After a while, Jia San came to Jia Hu's side again.
"Young Master, we are still half a day's journey from Shanhaiguan. If we ride fast, we can reach there in two hours!"”
Jia Hu quickly finished the dried mutton in his hand and drank a mouthful of water from the leather bag.
"Let our brothers rest and reorganize quickly. We'll try to reach Shanhaiguan in two hours!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Jia San replied with a serious expression.
"Dear ministers, this is an urgent report from Shanhaiguan. The letter says that the Tartars have gathered 100,000 troops to attack Shanhaiguan!”
Emperor Wu Yun said as he held the letter in his hand.
"This! This! Could it be that the Tartars wanted to attack Shanhaiguan Pass and Yanmen Pass at the same time?”
The Minister of War, Fa Tu, muttered.
Even though his voice was soft, Emperor Wu Yun still heard it.
"Minister Zhao, you've been guarding Yanmen Pass for ten years and are most familiar with the Tartars. Do you think it's possible?”
Emperor Wu Yun said to Zhao Gan.
Marquis Ding Yuan, Zhao Gan, stepped out and pondered for a moment.
" Reporting to the Emperor, there is no such possibility. The Tartars are tribal. They don't have cities, and their population isn't dense.”
Zhao Gan paused for a moment before continuing,
"Moreover, three years ago, the leader of the Tartars, Arkham, gathered 100,000 Tartar soldiers.”
"It is impossible to gather another twenty-five soldiers.”
"Moreover, if the Tartars had 250,000 soldiers, wouldn't it be better to attack one of the border passes and then march straight into Jingdou?”
"Twenty-five Tartar soldiers directly charged into Jingdou. This subject will say something unpleasant. Who can stop the Tartars from suddenly attacking?”
"Even if we let the vassal kings send troops into the capital, it will be too late!”
"That's why I believe that the 100,000 soldiers attacking Shanhaiguan Pass must be the same as the 150,000 soldiers attacking Yanmen Pass!”
"I dare to guess!"
"That First Earl Jia Hu is extremely brave, and even the leader of the Tartars, Arkham, is afraid that he can't take down Yanmen Pass!”
"Therefore, we split into two teams. One team has 50,000 men to besiege Yanmen Pass. We don't want the Yanmen Pass Guard General, First Earl Jia Hu, to reinforce Shanhai Pass!”
"The other team of 100,000 will attack Shanhai Pass!”
"Emperor, this is this old minister's guess!”
Just as Marquis Ding Yuan finished speaking, a civil official stood up.
"Your Majesty, please drag out and kill this treacherous minister who is spouting nonsense and disrupting the court. How can he speak such treasonous words? Our Great Han is full of talents, so why should we be afraid of those 250,000 Tartar soldiers?”
After the Marquis of Ding Yuan heard this, he did not say a word and coldly looked at the official.
Niu Jizong, the grandson of the State Guarding Bull Qing, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
"Haha, Lord Lin, we generals don't think we can stop this army of 250,000, but you can do it alone?”
"Why don't we let Lord Lin go to the border and deal with the 100,000 Tatars at Shanhai Pass, let alone the 250,000?”
For a moment, the civil officials and generals began to quarrel in the throne room!
"Shut up! Everyone here is a subordinate of the Great Han Dynasty. How can you make a ruckus here like a gossipy woman?”
Emperor Wu Yun slapped the table and said.
Emperor Wu Yun also felt that what Zhao Gan said made sense. Although it sounded harsh, it was the truth.
If the Tartars could really gather 250,000 troops…
In this era, there were rumors that the Tartars could not fight against ten thousand people.
No one can win against these 250,000 Tatars.
"Zhen feels that Zhao Aiqing's words make sense. How about this, immediately send fifty thousand men to Shanhaiguan. With Marquis Ding Yuan Zhao Aiqing as the commander, we will set off immediately.”
"As for Yanmen Pass! Zhen believes that First Uncle Jia Hu will not disappoint zhen.”
Marquis Ding Yuan Zhao Gan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
He had to admit that Jia Hu was so brave that these 50,000 Tatars couldn't do anything to him.
The reason why Zhao Gan still wanted to say something was because Jia Hu was his junior and he was eager to protect him!
"Understood!"
"The Ministry of Revenue will prepare the rations. Minister Zhao can go and prepare them!”
"Court!"
Emperor Wu Yun stood up and waved his hand.
"Long live the Emperor!"
All the officials knelt down and said in unison.
When Emperor Wu Yun returned to Yangxin Palace Hall, he wasn't as calm as he had expected.
He walked to the window and looked into the distance.
"Jia Hu, oh Jia Hu, don't disappoint zhen!”
Returning to Jia Hu's side.
The outline of Shanhai Pass appeared on the horizon.
Jia Hu rode on Red Hare and heaved a sigh of relief.
