At the beginning of summer.

Not long after the leading team set off.

Jia Hong did not hesitate. After sorting out the affairs of the imperial court and Anguo Mansion, he led the remaining 900 soldiers to Ganzhou to take up his post.

There are more cavalry in this team and less baggage, so there are only a few hundred logistics to follow.

Jia Hong is going to the subordinate household department in Chang'an on the way, so he will march along the lines of Baoding, Shijiazhuang and Tiyuan. There are important military towns along the way, so the supply pressure is relatively small.

The leading baggage troops led by Jia Changzhu took the line between Datong and Hetao Plains. The journey was hundreds of miles away. There was no need to pass through the Taihang Mountains, and the terrain was flat and easy to march.

After Jia Hong led the troops and set off, because the cavalry was much faster than the carriage, Jia Hong simply divided the team into two teams.

The faster procession was led by two assistant leaders and rushed to Chang'an first to wait for orders.

Jia Hong only left a hundred elite men behind, and wandered toward Chang'an with the logistics and mother's carriage.

While walking and stopping along the way, Jia Hong was "crying" all the way.

Every time you pass through a city, go to the garrison or local magistrate and ask for money or food! If you can blackmail it, you will earn it.

It’s really going to be troublesome for the household department’s audit in the future, but at least I’ll have it in hand now!

Two months later, Jia Hong arrived in Chang'an City.

Although the ancient capital is not what it used to be, the city gates are still bustling with people and there is an endless stream of caravans coming and going.

The Xue family's caravan went on their own to collect and organize supplies, while Jia Hong and his mother Chen came to the courtyard that Wang Xifeng had purchased in advance - Lixiang Courtyard.

The eight-room mansion is naturally incomparable to Bi'an Mansion.���But it is located in a prosperous area of Chang'an City, not far from the ancient temples that my mother often visits, so it is convenient to get in and out.

Servants and maids were cleaning and shopping in the courtyard. Jia Hong left ten soldiers in the courtyard, then left home and went to his subordinate household department in Chang'an City.

However, as he expected - it would be difficult to ask for money when he came to Chang'an.

Chang'an's household department was not as good as Tianjing's. It was originally established to facilitate the administration of the central and western provinces. There was no Ninth Division Salary Office in the yamen at all.

This function was not clear, so Jia Hong could only argue with the yamen chief for a long time. In the end, only 20,000 of them were collected, and the remaining 20,000 were issued for payment to Ganzhou. The ball was kicked quite far.

But since he had expected it, Jia Hong didn't want to delay it. At least, the money and food expenses coming out of Tianjing have basically been recorded and recorded. There is nothing wrong with letting the court owe 20,000 yuan first.

Just as Jia Hong called the soldiers to carry the silver, he stopped outside the Yamen. He never thought that he would meet Wang Ziteng here.。

“Uncle Teng? Jia Hong was really surprised. He cupped his hands and said, "Have you been sent to Chang'an for something recently?" "

Although Prince Teng is known as the governor of central Shu, he is actually the governor of nine provinces. It is not surprising that he would come to Chang'an.

Prince Teng is actually the governor of nine provinces.���Surprised, he smiled and said, "Yes, nephew! I do have something to be busy with."。”

“Are you setting off for Ganzhou? I received a letter last month and heard a little bit about it.

Jia Hong nodded and said, " Exactly." I just arrived today. I could have taken the Loop to go to my appointment. Because the Ministry of Household Affairs' withdrawal of military pay needs to be audited again in Chang'an, so we can only go separately.。”

“oh? Wang Ziteng stroked his beard and said, "Will the military pay matter go smoothly?"

Jia Hong said with a smile: "Just so-so! " There are still 20,000 taels left, which needs to be collected from the local government, which is a bit troublesome.

Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "This is reasonable. " From now on, my nephew will have to deal more with local governors and adjutants, so I won't get involved. So as not to put the facts into practice。”

“understand. Jia Hong replied: "I wonder if Uncle Teng is taking up his post in Shuzhong, everything is going well?"

Wang Ziteng frowned when he heard this and said, "It can't be said to be too smooth! " I came here today because the grain transportation turnover in Chang'an is not appropriate and I need to come over for inspection.。”

“In addition... when I first took office, Shuzhong first dispatched a thousand troops and three thousand logistics troops to enter Guge.。”

“However, due to occasional flash floods and mudslides, roads were blocked and supplies could not be supplied in time, so the entire army was wiped out. "

Jia Hong was stunned when he heard this. These thousands of troops are probably going in to completely pacify Guge. It would be a bit miserable to starve to death halfway... But when you think about the terrain of the Guge Plateau, it is really understandable.

Wang Ziteng patted Jia Hong and said, "My dear nephew, you don't need to think too much about the situation in Guge. After taking office, train your troops well and���Plan, wait for the Fourteenth Master to coordinate the army, and then go west to fight in Moxi!”

“Your Majesty has placed you on the front line of Ganzhou. Although the situation is dangerous, it is also a rare opportunity. Jia Hong cupped his hands and said, "

Uncle Teng, I understand!" Since Anfu's men are elite, there is no reason not to go into battle to kill the enemy!”

“Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken! Wang

Ziteng was stunned for a moment and said a few words, but his blood boiled in his chest. He said cheerfully: "Okay, okay!"”

“What a "If you don't destroy Loulan, you will never pay it back"! My nephew has such heroic spirit, so why worry about not being able to make great achievements! I'm waiting for you to triumph and return triumphantly. "

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled. After chatting for a while, Jia Hong said goodbye to Wang Ziteng and asked the soldiers to load the 20,000 pieces of silver back to Lixiangyuan. According to the original

plan, Jia Hong would accompany him in Chang'an. Mother, a few days.

The troops and the Xue family caravan can also have time to rest and reorganize for the time being.。
