After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Liu Yu immediately ordered his soldiers to send orders to all directions. In a short time, hundreds of thousands of troops began to set up camp.
After about an hour, the camp was set up.
At this time, Liu Yu came over and invited Jia Ke to sit in the Chinese army's tent.
Jia Ke then led his soldiers straight to the Chinese army's tent. When Jia Ke arrived at the Chinese army's tent, the various military governors and general soldiers had been waiting for a long time.
Jia Ke didn't waste any time. He sat directly on the big seat in the middle and said to them: "I just received the news that the emperor has appointed me as Duke of Yan, prime minister and general in charge of the military. The imperial edict is here. Take it and read it.
look."
Then Liu Yu took the imperial edict from the side and sent it to the generals below. They opened the edict one by one and circulated it. After reading it, they were all happy.
Seeing the excitement on their faces, Jia Ke felt a little happy in his heart. It took him more than ten years since time travel to the present to finally reach this point.
Jia Ke saw that they had finished reading the imperial edict, and then said to them: "This matter is not over yet. I have also received news that the Supreme Emperor has passed away. I am ready to lead all the cavalry and light cavalry forward immediately. Tonight, we will surely
We have to reach the capital."
When the generals standing under the tent heard what Jia Ke said, they all raised their hands and said, "If you have anything to do, please give me your command, and we will act accordingly."
Jia Ke nodded and said to Wang Zuo, the military governor of Taiyuan: "After I leave, you will temporarily command the troops and continue to the capital. We must reach the capital within three days."
Wang Zuo stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Commander, please rest assured. The army will have a rest today. I will lead the army to set off immediately tomorrow. I will ensure that we reach the capital within two days and will not miss the commander's business."
Jia Ke nodded and said to Liu Yu next to him: "Gather all the cavalry in the camp immediately and wait for me outside the camp. We will set off immediately."
Liu Yu accepted Jia Ke's order and immediately left the tent to prepare.
When Jia Ke saw that things were arranged, he called the messenger to him and asked: "What happened in the capital? Why did Mr. Fan act in advance?"
The messenger was also considered to be Fan Kang’s confidant named Feng Ku, who served as a general in the Infantry Commander’s Office. Since Fan Kang replaced Jia Ke in managing the Infantry Commander’s Office, he actively moved closer to Fan Kang. Now many infantrymen
Fan Kang, the commander of the yamen, would ask him to handle all matters.
When Feng Ku heard Jia Ke's inquiry, he quickly raised his hand and said: "Commander Qi, in the capital, Mr. Fan got news that the emperor used the men in the imperial army to attack the three mansions on Ningrong Street with all his might. We Fan
Then sir, he led his troops to surround the imperial city."
Jia Ke frowned when he heard that the emperor sent troops to attack the three mansions. He did not expect that the emperor would have such courage this time, but in the face of absolute power, all his calculations were in vain.
After Jia Ke understood the cause and effect, he was relieved about the matter in the capital. As for how the Supreme Emperor died, it would not be too late to find out after he returns.
After Jia Ke and General Feng Ku, who came to deliver the message, finished talking about the major events in the capital, they said to the generals standing below: "Nothing happens anymore. You all go back and rest. I will leave by myself in a while."
Who would have thought that the generals below him would not comply as soon as he finished speaking, "How can this be possible, Commander? We must give it to you."
Jia Ke was not polite when he saw that they insisted on seeing each other off. Just at this time, Jia Ke's personal soldiers came to report that 20,000 cavalry were ready outside the camp.
Jia Ke then stood up and went out of the tent directly. All the generals followed Jia Ke out of the tent and mounted their horses. Then Jia Ke came to the outside of the military camp amidst the stars of these people.
At this time, outside the military camp, 20,000 cavalry were also ready. When Jia Ke arrived, they all paid attention to the invincible commander.
Jia Ke came to the front of the team and just said, "Let's go." He urged his horse forward, and the cavalry behind him galloped forward with him.
The generals who were seeing Jia Ke off looked at the cavalry galloping away until they disappeared, and then returned to the camp.
Taiyuan Jiedushi Wang Zuo and his generals returned to the central army tent. Once, Wang Zuo was not polite and sat directly on the main seat. Then he said to the generals standing below: "When the commander was leaving, he ordered me to lead the army."
Armed Forces, brothers, I'm not polite, I'm issuing an order now."
The generals waiting next raised their hands and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite, just give the order."
Wang Zuo nodded and said: "Don't mess up the formation when marching tomorrow. We should march forward and backward in order according to the commander's division. I will be stationed on the left and right of the central army to reinforce. What do you mean by the generals?"
Several people below said together: "I have no objections to you, general. I will obey your military orders in everything."
"In this case, I will set off immediately after breakfast tomorrow. I swore to the commander that I would reach the capital within three days. If any of you hold me back, I will not tolerate it under military law."
After Wang Zuo said this, he ordered the troops to disperse, and they slowly set off towards the capital.
It is only said that Jia Ke led 20,000 cavalry and galloped toward the capital without stopping all the way. By midnight, he had arrived at the foot of the capital wall.
By this time, Tan Ma from the third battalion outside the city had already reported Jia Ke's whereabouts to the three generals from the third battalion.
So Zheng Kai, Ma Zuo, and Xiao Yueren all arrived at the gate of the capital to greet Jia Ke.
Jia Ke also received a report from the forwards, saying that the generals of the three battalions were greeting the general at the city gate. Jia Ke stopped the army and led his soldiers to the forefront of the cavalry.
As soon as Jia Ke came to the front, he saw one or two thousand people in front of him, and standing in front of him were his three favorite generals.
As soon as Zheng Kai and three others saw Jia Ke's appearance, they immediately got off their horses, walked a few steps to Jia Ke, and knelt down together to salute him.
Jia Ke sat on the horse and said to them with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Do you need to come to greet us? Everyone, get up."
When Zheng Kai and the other three heard Jia Ke's words, they dared to stand up, then came to Jia Ke's side and raised their hands and said: "I am late to welcome the commander-in-chief. I hope the commander-in-chief will forgive me."
Jia Ke became a little impatient and said, "Okay, don't use these polite words anymore, get on your horses and follow me, and let's enter the capital together."
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Zheng Kai happily returned to his horses. They each mounted their horses and took their one or two thousand soldiers into Jia Ke's 20,000 cavalry, and ran towards the city gate together.
When Jia Ke led the army to the singing gate of the capital, the city defender of the infantry commander's office had already discovered Jia Ke's men.
They watched carefully on the top of the city and saw tens of thousands of cavalry approaching the city wall. Some people did not dare to neglect and immediately sent people to the city to report to Fan Kang.
Jia Ke led his cavalry to the city gate, only to see that the city gate was tightly closed. Knowing that the capital would never open the city gate at this time, he ordered people to shout to the people in the city that Jia Ke was back.
This job fell to Liu Yu. He rode his horse to the city gate and shouted to the people above: "I am the Duke of the State of Yan. I am the prime minister in charge of the military affairs. I am a soldier under Lord Jia. People above me listen."
Seeing that our adults have returned, immediately open the city gate and let us adults enter the city."
When I heard Liu Yu shouting at the gate above, I was a little panicked. I also knew that Jia Ke was really the uncrowned king of the world now. If he offended me, his life would be in danger. But he had a duty and did not dare to drive at will.
He opened the city gate, so he had to shout down: "My lord below, please forgive me for not daring to open the city gate at will again. Please wait for a moment. Our Chief Fan will be here soon, and he will be the only one to come then."
Call the shots.”
Jia Ke heard the city gate officer's voice from a distance and nodded. This city gate officer was pretty good and did not forget his duties just because of his name. It seemed that he was a good official who fulfilled his duties faithfully.
After hearing what he said, Liu Yu did not embarrass the gate official at the top of the city. He knew that what the gate official said was reasonable, so Boma returned to Jia Ke and reported to him.
Jia Ke nodded and told the chief sergeant: "Everyone wait at the top of the city. It won't be too late to enter the city later."
Besides, Fan Kang was just sleeping in the mansion when he suddenly heard the maid outside knocking on the door.
Fan Kang's wife next to him was a little unhappy, "Xiao He, go outside and see who the unlucky guy is, why he knocked on the door in the middle of the night."
Xiaohe, the maid who was sleeping outside, hurried to the door after listening to the lady's words. When she opened the door, she saw that it was another little maid who was guarding the yard.
"What's going on? I just went to bed, and you're dying, and now you're knocking on the door." Xiao He said unhappily.
When the maid saw that it was Xiaohe, she said with relief: "Hurry up and report to the master. Someone came to the city gate to send a message, saying that Duke Yan has returned to the capital. Now he is waiting at the city gate with his troops. The city gate official
Let me go and have a look."
Xiao He was a little anxious after hearing what he said, but she knew that their master was a confidant of Duke Jia Ke of the State of Yan.
So Xiao He closed the door again and went to Fan Kang's bedside in the inner room, calling softly: "Master, are you awake?"
Fan Kang said on the bed: "Hurry and prepare clothes for me. Since Duke Yan is back, I have to go and greet him quickly."
So Fan Kang immediately got up and changed his clothes. After finishing dressing, he took several guards to the front yard, where he saw a soldier waiting there.
While the soldier was waiting anxiously in front, he suddenly saw a group of guards outside the living room, surrounded by a middle-aged scribe walking in.
The soldier then understood that the man in the middle must be Fan Kang, so he quickly stepped forward and knelt down to salute Fan Kang.
Fan Kang did not embarrass him, and quickly let him get up, and then asked: "Explain to me in detail what is going on."
"Your Excellency, tens of thousands of cavalrymen came just outside the city gate and shouted to the city, saying that Duke Yan was returning to the capital with his troops. Our commander did not dare to open the city gate casually, so he sent me to ask your Excellency,
How can I do?"
After Fan Kang heard this, he began to feel happy. It seemed that Jia Ke got his letter and rode a fast horse overnight to the capital. It must be Jia Ke who is under the tower now.
So Fan Kang summoned the guards, and everyone rode horses outside the palace gate and went straight to the city gate.
When Fan Kang arrived at the city gate, the city gate official hurriedly came up to greet him, "I've seen you, sir, but I'm late to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."
"No need to be polite, just follow me to the city gate to see if Duke Yan is back."
After Fan Kang finished speaking, he took the lead to walk up the city tower. Then the city gate official and Fan Kang's guards swarmed up and escorted Fan Kang to the top of the city.
