Chapter 28

However.

Heaven does not follow human wishes!

That day.

Before Jia Hui could recruit soldiers and wait for the next great battle to earn merit.

"Good news! The Tatars have withdrawn their troops completely!"

Song De of the Imperial City Division personally ran over to tell Jia Hui this "good news!"

Jia Hui: "......"

At this moment, Wu Siyue also came to find Jia Hui.

She originally wanted to tell him this good news.

But she was bright-minded and observed carefully.

She keenly noticed that Jia Hui did not seem happy.

"Viscount Jia, you do not seem happy?" Wu Siyue asked.

Jia Hui naturally would not tell the truth—that the opportunity to perform a great feat had slipped away!

That would make him seem greedy for merit, eager for quick success, and neglectful of stability.

On the surface, Jia Hui said with great loyalty and compassion: "Alas, it is not that. I was just thinking that the Tatars are cruel and inhumane; if we could annihilate more of them, protect our borders and people, and guard our mountains and rivers, our Great Great Great Qian could have a good year next year."

He did not mention merit at all.

He only spoke for the sake of the country and the people.

Wu Siyue was a person with compassion and love for the lower classes.

So upon hearing Jia Hui’s words, her favor for him increased even more.

She felt that their values were similar.

Her eyes brightened, and she parted her lips to speak.

"I deeply agree with Viscount Jia’s thoughts, and I admire them very much."

"However, Viscount Jia need not worry. Although the Tatars have run away now, they will invade sooner or later. Your troops are few now, you should train elite soldiers, and next year you will surely be able to perform miraculous feats again!"

Song De, who was on the side, also nodded in recognition: "Exactly, exactly, with Brother Jia’s ability, there is absolutely no problem."

Jia Hui smiled: "I did not expect the two of you to have more confidence in me than I have in myself!"

Wu Siyue and the others smiled along.

Jia Hui said to Wu Siyue: "By the way, Lady Yuehua, you can just call me by my name from now on."

"Alright, then you can just call me by my name in the future too." Wu Siyue’s heart stirred slightly; she looked at Jia Hui for a while with her heroic beautiful eyes, and then responded with a smile.

Jia Hui did not think twice and called out directly: "Good, then I will call you Siyue!"

"Hmm!"

This made Wu Siyue’s heart touch slightly again.

Although it was she who said it, she did not expect Jia Hui to really dare to address her Love Love Like that.

You must know.

Except for relatives.

Few people called her by her name.

Everyone was usually very respectful and fearful of her.

Therefore, she had no friends.

And Jia Hui actually did not think much of it.

As a modern person.

He did not have much concept of superior and inferior status.

Even the Emperor was just so-so in his eyes.

If he annoyed him, he would just chop off his dog head with one sword!

Let alone a Third-Rank Inner Guard noble and royal relative.

Wu Siyue was an "Inner Guard," directly responsible to the Sage, and its leader was the "Inner Guard Offering Official," and its organization was called "Joint Defense," which was a secret service organization similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

And the title of Lady Yuehua was Third-Rank, equivalent to a Regional Military Commissioner.

Jia Hui discovered that after he called the other party by her name.

Their relationship seemed to have increased greatly.

Their words and actions were much more relaxed.

"Since the war on the northern front has been settled, when do you plan to return?"

It was normal for the war on the front line to come to an end.

Because every year the Tatars would go south to plunder, and they would return regularly regardless of success or failure.

This year the Tatars had successfully plundered quite a bit, with countless grain, supplies, gold, and silver, and many women and children were taken away!

It was truly hateful!

However, the Great Great Great Qian side was helpless.

Fortunately, this year there was Jia Hui’s divine soldier descending from heaven!

He appeared out of nowhere and defeated one of their armies!

Beheading generals, seizing flags, and breaking the army!

Annihilating three thousand Tatars! And ten thousand auxiliary troops!

Although it did not hurt the Tatars’ bones and muscles.

It was still a major loss!

It was the biggest loss in several years.

This offset some of the gloom of Great Great Great Qian!

It dealt a not-insignificant blow to the morale and military heart of the Tatar side!

Conversely, the military and civilian hearts of Great Great Great Qian were greatly boosted!

It could be said that Jia Hui had saved the face of Great Great Great Qian with his own strength!

Therefore, being enfeoffed as a Viscount and Assistant Regional Commander.

Was really not excessive at all; on the contrary, many people felt it was a thin reward!

Hearing Wu Siyue’s words.

Jia Hui thought for a moment.

[35] Return to the capital! Return home in glory! Wu Siyue is moved

"I plan to rest for a few days, and then return to the capital."

It was not for any particular reason.

It was just that it was not easy to recruit soldiers here.

After all, those who could join the army had already joined the border army!

Therefore.

Jia Hui wanted to fully staff his Flying Wolf Battalion.

He could only return to the capital!

"I plan to recruit good people and refugees along the way."

He stated his thoughts.

Currently, there were only fifty Bingzhou Wolf Riders.

And the Falcon Battalion of about a thousand people, which Jia Hui regarded as logistics soldiers mainly for transporting grain and supplies.

This could not satisfy him at all!

He had to recruit at least three thousand.

And train them into elite Bingzhou Wolf Riders!

Due to the battalion and garrison systems.
