Chapter 13

Therefore, during this time,

it was not bad for Jia Hui.

However,

this situation,

as they walked further and further,

seeing refugees on the road who were as thin as skeletons

and had faces like earth,

Jia Hui's mood gradually became a bit lower.

A youth of eighteen or nineteen, with a proper appearance, named Gong Minxue, sighed and explained: "Some of these are disaster victims; many places in the country have suffered disasters, droughts with no harvest, and there have also been snow disasters, floods, and countless deaths and injuries; many people can't survive and are forced to flee."

"Others are because enemy bandits have invaded the border, and sometimes they even kill their way into the Central Plains, burning, killing, and looting, kidnapping countless women and children, and snatching large amounts of supplies; many people have also been unable to survive because of this, becoming refugees, selling their sons and daughters."

【11】 Arrival! Liu Kai tells Jia Hui to go die

This Gong Minxue could be considered a regular comrade-in-arms Jia Hui had met and befriended in the army.

His family was poor, and his character could be considered upright.

Gong Minxue saw Jia Hui's extraordinariness.

Therefore, he deliberately befriended him.

His attitude could even be described as respectful.

This was not strange.

Jia Hui's attire, plus the ten Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry following him,

even a fool could see he was not simple.

In fact, there were quite a few people trying to befriend him.

However, Jia Hui didn't think much of most of the others.

But this Gong Minxue was eager to learn and was quite clever and sensible.

And Jia Hui needed someone to help him understand the local customs of this world.

So their relationship was quite good for now.

Hearing his words at this moment,

Jia Hui frowned: "It's like this all over the country? The Great Gan Dynasty has been founded for only a hundred years or so, and has gone through four emperors, right? How did it end up like this?"

The implication!

Damn it.

Why does it look like the end of a dynasty?

Shouldn't it be a time of revival now?

But he soon thought,

there were many dynasties in history that started to fail after a hundred years!

Land annexation, famine, etc., were all fatal points.

Gong Minxue smiled bitterly: "I can't say; after all, I'm just a small person who is nothing."

As he spoke, he looked at Jia Hui carefully.

He knew that

this boy, who looked even younger than himself,

was very powerful!

At least the other's Painted Halberd weighed 45 jin, a monster-level weapon of over a hundred jin in the Han Dynasty!

It was a top-tier heavy weapon.

In ancient times, basically no one used it on the battlefield.

This thing was actually used by the main force of the honor guard.

To put it bluntly, it was a ceremonial decoration.

That was because it was too heavy.

Ordinary people could lift it, but couldn't wield it.

These were two different concepts!

Not to mention having to wield it countless times on the battlefield.

It would be hard to find one in a million people who could handle such a top-tier divine weapon!

However, Jia Hui could!

And he played with it with ease!

Therefore, Gong Minxue and all the soldiers were immensely in awe of Jia Hui!

Plus the ten powerful Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry,

Gong Minxue was deeply in awe of Jia Hui.

He was certain that Jia Hui would definitely be able to achieve merit on the battlefield!

Therefore, he was willing to be his vanguard.

He was even uneasy and afraid that Jia Hui would look down on him and refuse.

It was just that Gong Minxue's heart suddenly jumped.

Because he saw Jia Hui's eyes change from initial sympathy and sighing to excitement.

More than half a month passed.

Jia Hui and his group arrived at their destination.

This was a heavy city on the border.

Named Diku City!

It was one of the nine major heavy cities on the border.

At this moment, more than a hundred thousand troops were stationed here.

Outside the city was the frontier.

It was a place with individual foreign forces.

However, there were still quite a few Great Gan border towns and fortresses outside the frontier.

Like nails driven into the outside.

Preventing the foreign tribes from recklessly closing the gates.

However, these border towns had basically become places like granaries that the foreign tribes focused on harassing and looting.

"Jia Hui, three thousand Tatars are attacking Dingyuan Town."

"Your group will immediately go to Dingyuan Town to reinforce and try to annihilate the enemy bandits."

Just arrived at the murderous Diku City,

before they could even rest,

their direct superior, the Thousand-Man Commander Liu Kai, ordered Jia Hui to leave the city with a cold face!

The Great Gan military system was divided into different systems such as military garrisons, battalion soldiers, and battalion officers, and the job titles were also different.

Jia Hui currently belonged to the battalion soldiers.

Commanded by Squad Leaders, Captains, Picket Officers, Battalion Commanders, Garrison Commanders, Regional Military Commissioners, Mobile Corps Commanders, Assistant Regional Commanders, Deputy Regional Commanders, and Regional Commanders, directly under the Ministry of War.

A Thousand-Man Commander was also known as a Garrison Commander.

The position was actually low.

It was a regular sixth rank, but commanded a thousand combat soldiers in the army.

This Liu Kai, according to Gong Minxue,

was of the same clan as Liu Fang, the grandson of the Liguo Duke Liu Biao, who now held the title of First-Rank Viscount.

It was very clear.

This was a retaliatory targeting of Jia Hui, following Jia Zhen's instructions!
