Chapter 376 Yu's Love Talk
"Bai Dengtai is the easiest place to attack. The terrain is relatively gentle, and we can even use cavalry to charge directly."
"Moreover, as long as we cross Baidengtai, we can reach Datong!"
"As long as we send elite troops to block this gap, we only need a small number of troops in other places to keep the enemy outside the Great Wall!"
Finally, Jia Cong said in a serious tone, "If everything is impossible, then there is only one way left, which is to completely abandon the Great Wall. At that time, several camps in Shenjing will definitely converge to the west, and Shishu's troops can bypass Fengzhou to the south and pass through Xufu Village on the border of Ningyuan, and then march towards the Muna Mountain area."
"As long as we can safely cross the 500-mile-long Urad Desert and cut off the Yellow River, all the Tangut troops in Datong will be trapped!"
"However, we have no choice but to do this. The two camps of Huanzhou and Fengzhou have a total of 60,000 soldiers, plus the elite troops brought by my uncle, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers. Although the Dangxiang people are good at fighting, we are on the defensive. It is wishful thinking to want to defeat these 100,000 soldiers!"
After hearing what Jia Cong said, Niu Jizong finally felt relieved.
He was also a good fighter and had led troops to guard the border many times, so he was no stranger to this kind of thing.
Moreover, with Jia Cong's guidance, he had an idea of the war that might happen next, and he was sure to take the credit this time.
When Jia Cong finished speaking, Niu Jizong stood up and bowed solemnly, "Thank you, my Lord!"
"I still have to go to the camp to select soldiers and generals in advance to prevent missing the date of the expedition. If I have some free time before leaving, I will host a banquet for you. Also, when I lead the troops away, I will ask you to take care of all the affairs in the mansion."
"Uncle, don't worry. Aren't the things happening in your house my own business? Tell Niu Chuang that if he has any problems, he can come to me. Uncle fought for Daqian and for my founding lineage. Whether it's me or other uncles, we all know what's going on."
"As for the things in the rear, you don't need to worry! Whether it's food or military supplies, I will have people keep an eye on them and will not make it difficult for you to do things in the front."
Today, Lin Ruhai is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and holds the financial power. Many matters concerning food, fodder, and military pay need to be discussed between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue. With Lin Ruhai's help, Niu Jizon's troops will naturally not go hungry.
Niu Jizong expressed his gratitude again, then left the Jia Mansion and headed towards the camp with full confidence.
"Huh!" Jia Cong stretched, then walked out of the front hall and headed towards the back house.
When he arrived outside the Neiyi Gate, Jia Cong saw Yin Die waiting in the hallway.
"This servant greets the Marquis!" Yin Die walked up quickly, "The eldest lady prepared some wine and food, and said that if the Marquis has time, he can go to the courtyard to eat."
Jia Cong was stunned, but he was not surprised. "Okay, I'm hungry, so I'll go to my sister-in-law's place to eat something."
"Jia Zhong, go back and tell Xiao Que'er that you don't have to wait for me for dinner."
Afterwards, Jia Cong followed Yin Die out of the hall and headed towards Youshi's courtyard.
They went straight into the inner hall. Seeing Jia Cong coming, Youshi greeted him joyfully. While helping Jia Cong take off his outer robe, she said, "Master, you must be tired after a day in the palace. I asked the kitchen to prepare some side dishes and drinks for you to enjoy."
Jia Cong stretched out his hands and embraced Youshi's voluptuous body. "The master is hungry today, sister-in-law, please let me eat enough."
The fiery look in Yushi's eyes made her realize that this meal was not just about drinking. However, she was also happy that Jia Cong was close to her, so she nodded shyly.
Afterwards, Yindie placed the warm wine and food on the table and served the two of them.
Yu Shi poured wine for Jia Cong and filled her own cup as well, "Master, today I will first admit my fault to you."
"Oh?" Jia Cong smiled, "So there's a story behind this wine, can you tell me about it?"
Youshi did not hesitate. After all, she could not hide this matter from Jia Cong, so she directly told Jia Cong about the quarrel between Qingwen and You Sanjie.
Hearing this, Jia Cong held up his wine cup and began to ponder. Seeing Jia Cong's calm expression, You Shi felt as if her heart was being squeezed.
After a long while, Jia Cong said solemnly, "Find a free time in two days and ask Old Lady You and your two sisters to come to the mansion so that I can meet them!"
Yu Shi panicked and said quickly, "Master, if you want to punish Third Sister, please let me do it. She has no bad intentions, but she has a quick tongue, which is why she had an argument with Qingwen. If it's not enough, I can go and apologize to Qingwen!"
"Although my two sisters and I are not born of the same mother, we are sisters after all. I hope that Master can give me a favor. I will not let them enter the mansion in the future."
Seeing Youshi's panic and nervousness, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel more sympathy for her. He reached out and held Youshi's hand, and whispered, "Don't worry, you are my woman, how can I make things difficult for you!"
"Letting them into the mansion is not to punish Third Sister!"
"Third sister was wrong about what happened today, but I can understand her thoughts."
Putting the white and tender jade hand on his cheek, Jia Cong said seriously, "I let them into the mansion because I wanted to tell them about the relationship between you and me, so that they don't make random guesses!"
Seeing that Youshi wanted to speak, Jia Cong continued, "As your sister , it is natural for her to worry about her. Although she has a bad temper, it is understandable. Moreover, now that you are my woman, I will naturally give them an explanation! I will let them know that from now on, I, Jia Cong, will protect you for the rest of your life and will not let them worry."
"As for your status, what does it mean? You are a widow now, so what if you remarry? Who in the world dares to say anything bad about my woman?"
"Besides, they are your relatives. Even if they knew, they would not say anything."
Jia Cong's words moved Youshi so much that she drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, then stood up and threw herself into Jia Cong's arms, "Master, I will follow you. From now on, I will be yours in life and yours in death!"
"Since we are husband and wife, I will belong to you for the rest of my life, and you will be my lifelong support!"
Jia Cong was also moved when he heard the words, and he could not help but lower his head and kiss her red lips. After a long while, the two parted their lips. Youshi did not want to get up, but leaned directly in Jia Cong's arms and picked up some food to feed Jia Cong.
With such a beauty in his arms, Jia Cong found the delicious food and wine in front of him tasteless. After just a few bites, his body began to feel hot.
Yu Shi sensed the heat and breath coming from Jia Cong, and her watery eyes could not help but look at Jia Cong. Then, she took a deep breath, leaned over to Jia Cong's ear and whispered, "Master, I want it..."
Jia Cong smiled, stood up and carried Youshi towards the inner room. The first meal was over, and it was time to have the second meal.
