When Jia Liu found his father-in-law, the vice president was angry.
Since General Dingxi was hit by artillery fire, all troops stopped their offensive, so the vice-president wanted to lead his troops to the attack area before departure, so as to accumulate strength and wait for the next general attack.
However, after learning that the Qing army commander Agui was injured by his own artillery, the thieves immediately became arrogant and contrary to their previous habit of avoiding battle, they actually took the initiative to attack. This made the transition of the vice president very troublesome.
Over the next few days, his troops suffered hundreds of casualties due to attacks by bandits.
Knowing this situation, Jia Liu couldn't help but ask: "Amma, how many thieves are there?"
"have no idea."
Jia Liu was stunned by his father-in-law's decisive answer. He thought that as a son-in-law, he had to worry about his father-in-law, so he suggested that he go and take a look at the situation.
The vice president naturally agreed, after all, the son-in-law was Batulu.
Immediately, he asked his confidant Guanyin Bao, his nephew Dakesi, and Huguang Green Camp deputy general Zheng Tai to accompany his son-in-law to the front line to observe the enemy's situation.
After arriving at the place, Jia Liu took out his telescope and subconsciously assumed the shape of a horse with a single bow and a single bow, and looked towards the opposite hilltop where the bandits might be hiding.
But it seemed that no trace of the Fan thief was found. He probably found that the Qing army had stopped running, so Wu Jike took the opportunity to find a place to hide.
Returning to the camp, he suggested to the vice-president: "Amma, we cannot retreat blindly, we must attack instead of retreat."
The vice-president wondered: "What is attacking instead of retreating?"
"It means to force peace through war."
The vice president understood and thought the idea was a good one, so he entrusted his son-in-law with full authority to organize an offensive to kill the arrogance of the bandits and ensure that he could lead his troops to evacuate safely.
Now order all 2,000 Huguang Green Camp soldiers.
When Deb, the captain of the soldiers, helped the prince to mount his horse, he affirmatively said: "Sir, the bandits are not many in number, and we will definitely win this battle!"
"Nonsense, if there are too many people, do I dare to fight?"
Under the command of Jia Liu, 2,000 Huguang Green Battalion soldiers rushed toward a hilltop where bandits might be hiding.
"Arrange a team of people here, arrange a team of people there, and point the muzzles of the guns there, all of them!"
After some deployment, Jia Liu personally held down the formation at the foot of the mountain and resolutely advanced and retreated together with the officers and soldiers.
The Huguang camp soldiers started to climb the mountain. They were only halfway up the mountain when they saw a dozen thieves suddenly appearing on top. They didn't even shoot, but just ran back and forth holding messy flags.
Guanyin Bao was shocked: "No, there is an ambush!"
"Don't worry, this time the traitor suspects the enemy, he thinks I am Sima Yi!"
Jia Liu, who had read a lot about the art of war, snorted coldly. He wanted to deal with Jia Jia, the son-in-law of Jia Jia, even though he was just a fool.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Huguang camp collapsed.
He retreated almost instantly and scrambled to turn around and run down the mountain.
"Fuck, no retreat, no retreat!"
Jia Liu really saw a ghost. He had never seen such cowardly soldiers in his whole life. He was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped down a few deserters. However, there were too many soldiers who fled, so he directly threatened Jia Jia's forehead.
The prince's big white horse ran towards the camp.
After running for three or four miles at a stretch, Jia Liu stopped his white horse and looked back. He saw that the defeated soldiers were running very fast and were very close.
Jia Liu took the initiative to ask for help to relieve his father-in-law's worries, but inexplicably suffered such a huge defeat. How could Jia Liu be willing to do so.
It was decided to cut down a few of the deserters who fled in anticipation of the thieves, in order to enforce strict military discipline.
The vice president was convinced.
But how do you know who runs first?
Jia Liu had an idea, summoned the group of Green Camp soldiers who had broken up, and then singled out those who had lost their weapons.
There are hundreds of people.
Looking at these guys who had even lost their weapons, Jia Liu was furious and shouted: "Where are your weapons?"
"Speak to your lord, tell the thieves to hand it over."
"..."
The word "hand over" made Jia Liu click, "Hand over the gun but not kill?"
"Yep!"
All the soldiers nodded their heads.
"Mom, be careful, if they ask you to hand over your guns, just hand them over!"
"Sir, you don't know, they say they won't kill us as long as we hand over the guns."
"Youdao..."
Oh shit!
Jia Liu was trembling with anger. The way these soldiers were not ashamed but proud made him determined that he must train a new army, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed.
I really want to kill these bastards, but Deputy General Zheng desperately pleads for mercy. Besides, there are too many people, and the law cannot punish everyone.
I had no choice but to order one person to put in thirty boards.
In order to reverse the negative impact of his first failure in commanding a large-scale corps battle, Jia Liu must organize another offensive to save face.
He analyzed to the vice-president that what the thieves had just used was a trick of suspicion, and they might not even have a hundred people, so they should counterattack immediately to catch them off guard.
Vice President Bo hesitated, but at the insistence of his son-in-law, he once again mobilized a thousand battalions to participate in the counterattack.
However, the prince-in-law made a mistake in judgment again.
The troops were ambushed by bandits halfway, numbering several hundred in number.
On the way back, Jia Liu lost one of his leather boots and the pointed helmet he borrowed from his father-in-law.
Seeing his brother-in-law's embarrassed appearance, Dax couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny? It'll be great if I can come back with my life!"
Jia Liu angrily slapped his sword on the table and looked at his father-in-law: "Amma, you are laughing at me. It's okay. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. How can there be a victorious general in the world... How can there be no failure?"
success."
"never mind,"
The vice president finally understood his son-in-law's worth, so he shook his head and said, "Let's talk to them."
"Yes, let's talk. There's no deep hatred."
Jia Liu is very supportive of his father-in-law's decision. He is where he is today, isn't it all because of negotiation?
What cannot be obtained on the battlefield must of course be negotiated at the negotiation table.
Guanyinbao nodded and said: "Agui dares to talk to the bandits, there is nothing we can't talk about!"
"oh?"
Jia Liu's ears perked up: Is there still such a thing?
The vice president and others actually just learned about this incident. They said that after the defeat of Muguomu, Agui was able to escape unscathed, not because of his good organization, but because he reached a secret agreement with Seng Gesang, the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan.
"It is said that Sengge Sang took the initiative to make a request to Agui, asking Agui to withdraw his troops. At that time, Agui saw that Wen Fu was dead, and he could not stand alone, so he withdrew..."
"This Agui, I didn't expect it to be so hidden!"
Jia Liu gritted his teeth. Fortunately, he still said in front of Fulhun that Agui was loyal to the Qing Dynasty. He didn't expect that this guy was a two-faced person.
After telling his nephew Dax to send someone to talk to the thieves, the vice president asked his son-in-law why he was here.
"I have an ulterior secret, I must come and tell Amma!"
Jia Liu told Sichuan Governor Fulhun that he had been deceived.
"Does Amma think these three hundred thousand taels are worth it?"
Jia Liu looked at his father-in-law eagerly. As long as his father-in-law said it was worth it, the next sentence would be to borrow money.
The vice president also became energetic, but put forward a contrary opinion: "This matter can be done free of charge."
"What does Amma mean?"
Jia Liu was full of energy. There was nothing in the world that was more satisfying than having sex for free.
"Just get rid of Fu Chang'an."
Vice President Bo was very calculating, "It's easy to fish in troubled waters. Think about it, all the people sent by the emperor are dead, who can Emperor Jinchuan trust?"
