Chapter 1791: The Battle between Qin and Tang Dynasties at Hangu Pass (Part 1)
Jia Xu’s words contained so much information that most of the generals present did not respond.
After the reaction came to something, the whole room was filled with bewilderment and exclamations.
"well?"
Most of the generals present, including Qin Jian, did not think that Hangu Pass was in danger. After all, the defensive power of Hangu Pass was recognized as strong, and with Li Cunxiao and 20,000 elites there, it was impossible to react in Luoyang. If you don't come, you will be breached.
But now Jia Xu suddenly said that Hangu Pass was in danger, and that troops would be sent to rescue immediately. The generals present would naturally be surprised and puzzled.
“Military advisor, Hangu Pass did not ask for help from Luoyang, but we sent troops rashly. Are we making a fuss out of a molehill?” Qin Jian said in confusion.
"Yes, yes, there is no need at all. How could Hangu Pass fall? It's just a precaution to go to war like this. It's too childish for you, military advisor."
Qin Hai shouted in agreement, but when he saw Jia Xu's cold eyes, he immediately shrank his head in fear and hid behind Qin Jian with a smile.
The nine sons born from the dragon are different from each other.
Qin Hai is Hu Hai. Although he was also a disciple of the Qin family, he had a dandy attitude.
Hu Hai once rode a horse in the market and was hit by Jia Xu. He was slapped with twenty boards for endangering public order.
Because of this incident, Hu Hai secretly hated Jia Xu. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would speak ill of Jia Xu in front of the Qin family disciples, trying to arouse the Qin family's disciples' dissatisfaction with Jia Xu, but it always had no effect.
Jia Xu naturally didn't care about a **** like Hu Hai, but he didn't expect that his disregard would only encourage Hu Hai's arrogance. After becoming an official, he even dared to demolish Jia Xu in public.
Seeing that Hu Hai, a small official, dared to contradict him in public because of his status as a descendant of the Qin family, Jia Xu's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness.
Qin Jian’s objection was out of public interest. Naturally, Jia Xu would not have any objections. What about Hu Hai? He just came to disgust Jia Xu.
At this thought, the coldness in Jia Xu's eyes gradually turned into murderous intent. The murderous intent was not strong, but it was enough to scare Hu Hai out of his wits.
“Uncle, help me.”
Hu Hai was heartbroken and hid behind Qin Jian, trembling with fear. Such a timid and cowardly performance made Qin Jian shake his head secretly.
“Military advisor, Hai’er is still young and ignorant, so don’t be as knowledgeable as him.”
With that said, Qin Jian kicked Hu Hai angrily and shouted: "How can you interrupt in military and national affairs? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Wenhe quickly?"
"Yes, yes, the military advisor forgives me. Qin Hai knows that he is wrong. Please be magnanimous."
"snort."
Jia Xu snorted in displeasure, turned her head away and ignored Hu Hai, which was regarded as forgiving Hu Hai.
Hu Hai is indeed nothing, but Jia Xu has to give Qin Jian face.
As the younger brother of Qin Wen and the father of Qin Wu, Qin Jian is still very selfish and extremely protective and partial to the Qin family, so he has a very high prestige among the young people of the Qin family.
It is understandable that the elders care about the younger ones, but Qin Jian's care for the Qin family's children went too far.
Even if Hu Hai is a black sheep, even if Qin Jian doesn't like him, because he is a descendant of the Qin family, he will still stand up and take care of him, making Hu Hai think that he has a backer, so he dares to tease Jia Xu of tiger whiskers.
With Jia Xu's status and power, he could naturally go beyond the Qin family to punish Hu Hai without giving Qin Jian face, but Qin Jian was the one who wanted face, so doing so would undoubtedly directly offend Qin Jian. Jia Xu is Qin Hao's uncle, and Qin Jian is Qin Hao's uncle. If there is a conflict between the two of them, Qin Hao will be the one caught in the middle. Jia Xu does not want these trivial matters to affect Qin Hao's energy.
“You haven’t realized the seriousness of the problem yet!”
After finishing speaking, Jia Xu directly told what happened in Nanxiang and the deep meaning behind Li Tang's various unreasonable arrangements, which made everyone present frown and become frightened.
“Although I don’t know what Li Tang’s specific conspiracy is, since it has been arranged in this way, it proves that there is at least a possibility of success.”
Jia Xu's face was full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "Hangu Pass is very important, I will never allow any threat, even a slight possibility.
If there is no crisis at Hangu Pass, it would be best to treat it as a marching military exercise.
If you really encounter a crisis, then sending reinforcements in advance can make timely remedies and save the day.
So, whether you agree or disagree, I have decided to send reinforcements. "
Jia Xu made the decision directly. He said it all. If there are still people present who object, they really don’t understand the importance of promotion and importance.
“We will obey the military advisor’s orders.” All the generals, including Qin Jian, shouted in unison.
Jia Xu nodded upon seeing this, and just as he was about to order the generals, Qin Jian stood up, cupped his fists and said: "Military advisor, the last general Qin Jian is willing to lead the army to support Hangu Pass."
Qin Jian, like Qin Zheng, has not personally led an army in a war for a long time. He is in a position where it is difficult to have the opportunity to lead an army, so he naturally does not want to miss this opportunity to lead an army.
Jia Xu thought for a while and then shook his head and refused: "No, anyone can leave Luoyang, but you, Qin Jiangong, can't."
“Why is this?” Qin Jian asked puzzledly.
“The situation in Sizhou is now treacherous. Li and Tang’s troops are openly outside, but secretly the courtiers are fishing in troubled waters. Qin Jian must stay in Luoyang to frighten Xiaoxiao.”
“That’s...okay.”
Qin Jian had no choice but to retreat. Jia Xu's reasons made him unable to refute.
In addition to Qin Jian, there are still many generals in Luoyang, such as Sima Cuo, Di Qing, Qin Xi, Qin Liang, etc., but they are basically juniors, and their prestige and qualifications are not enough to hold this task.
Qin Xi and Qin Liang are actually Qin Xiangong Ying Shixi, and Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang. After they were implanted into the Qin family, their identities and surnames changed, so their names naturally changed as well.
Jia Xu's eyes finally fell on Tan Daoji. Apart from Qin Jian, who had the best qualifications and the most prestige, only Tan Daoji could convince everyone with his military exploits.
"Tan Daoji, I ordered you to be the chief general, Qin Xi as the deputy general, and lead an army of 10,000 people. We must go to support Hangu Pass overnight. There must be no mistake." Jia Xu ordered the capital in a deep voice.
Tan Daoji and Qin Xi looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "No."
Luoyang has a total of 15,000 main troops and 30,000 recruits. Now that Tan Daoji has taken away the 10,000 main troops, there are only 5,000 elites and 30,000 recruits left. Luoyang's defense power has naturally dropped greatly.
With Jia Xu's caution and precautions, he naturally would not wait for danger to come, so he secretly ordered the transfer of 5,000 defenders directly from Guangcheng Pass and Yique Pass.
