Chapter 36

~4 min read 779 words

Originally, Jia Hui had hoped that the other side would send another army.

To serve as a stepping stone for his promotion!

But according to intelligence from other night scouts.

That army of similar size had already slipped away.

Upon learning that Jia Hui had wiped out three thousand Tatars and ten thousand auxiliary troops.

They were scared away!

The prestige of Jia Hui's name was evident!

But in reality, that army didn't actually know Jia Hui's situation.

They mistakenly thought the entire Great Dry army had launched an attack, so they panicked and avoided battle.

Before clarifying the situation, they didn't dare to start a war rashly!

And at this time, the Tatar royal court received the news and was clearly furious.

It would be days before they could send heavy troops.

Jia Hui and his men had been fighting for days, exhausted and weary.

Plus, Jia Hui's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had already lost nearly half their numbers.

Thousands of enemy troops were one thing.

But being surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry would be the end.

So Jia Hui chose to return.

One day later!

Jia Hui and his party arrived at the nearest Dingyuan Town first!

To rest.

Because Gong Minxue was also here for medical treatment.

The city gates were wide open!

"Mobile Corps Commander Jia!"

"Mobile Corps Commander Jia!"

"God of War!"

"God of War!"

"God of War!!!"

As Jia Hui appeared.

The soldiers and civilians who saw his magnificent bearing clearly for the first time looked at him with flushed faces and excited, worshipful eyes!

They consciously made way for him!

Everyone shouted and cheered at him!

Garrison Commander Zhu Ren also came out to welcome him.

"This subordinate greets the Garrison Commander!"

Jia Hui, leading the way, dismounted with a somewhat weary expression.

Yet he still cupped his hands and saluted with vigor!

【31】 Great prestige at the border! The imperial edict arrives.

The Garrison Commander is a regular third-rank official.

At this moment, the new imperial edict from the capital had not yet been issued here.

It was no problem for Jia Hui, who was still an associate third-rank Mobile Corps Commander, to call himself a subordinate.

Jia Hui's image at this moment had become even more heroic than when he had first transmigrated over a month ago!

Not just in temperament!

But also physically!

His height had changed from the initial 1.78 meters to 1.9 meters!

His physique was fit and strong.

Yet not the type with exaggerated, sexy, curved muscles!

He belonged to the tall, lean, heroic, and handsome type!

Therefore.

Seeing Jia Hui's unparalleled image, which was like no other in the world!

Garrison Commander Zhu Ren was delighted and his favor increased greatly!

"Good, what a fine young man!"

"Brother Jia, no need for such formalities!"

"After this battle, your bravery and prestige have become known throughout the world, shaking the four seas!"

"Promotion and nobility are inevitable!"

"Just call me by my name or courtesy name, Jingzhi, will do!"

Returning the greeting warmly, Zhu Ren laughed heartily and said.

The people around were all happy and cheering loudly!

Everyone knew.

Jia Hui's promotion and nobility were inevitable!

Even if not this time.

As long as it was recorded in the book of merit, it would be sooner or later!

Everyone roared even more hoarsely!

The name of Jia Hui, the God of War, resounded outside the pass!

Jia Hui smiled.

He didn't feign false modesty.

He was a military general, not a timid civil official.

Boldness and straightforwardness were what he should have.

Of course.

It also depended on the situation.

"I wonder if you have a courtesy name, Jia Hui?"

"Not yet."

Jia Hui shook his head slightly.

On the surface, he was fourteen or fifteen, and had no courtesy name.

His modern name had long since vanished, and he had none either.

Although Zhu Ren was much older than Jia Hui, he considered them to be of equal rank and did not count as his elder or superior.

So he couldn't easily give someone a courtesy name.

So he smiled and said: "After today, there will surely be many high-ranking officials willing to give you a courtesy name. For now, I'll just call you by your name!"

"That is fine."

Jia Hui smiled.

"Good, then Brother Hui, please come in, I have prepared a banquet, and I must treat you and your men well!"

"Good, then thank you, Brother Zhu!"

Jia Hui did not decline and thanked him!

That night!

Jia Hui had a meal, and was full!

The accompanying Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were also treated warmly.

Then he took a hot bath.
