The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

There are also 5,000 infantrymen, and Jia Huan must make good use of them, taking their combat strength into account.

At this point, whether they wanted to or not, the Beijing garrison would not go against Jia Huan.

With the emperor eyeing them covetously, anyone who dares to secretly plot against them will face retribution from the current emperor; even the retired emperor cannot save them.

Not to mention, the Ning and Rong families still have a considerable amount of kinship within the Beijing Garrison.

The connections Wang Ziteng had with the Beijing garrison were still effective at this time!

Putting aside other things, I can at least help make connections and prevent colleagues from causing trouble.

Not to mention, there's also Baolinghou Bangchen, a fellow military officer in the Beijing Garrison and commander of a battalion. Only someone with a screw loose would jump out at this time looking for trouble.

Seeing this rare opportunity, Jia Huan didn't hold back!

With the help of the Marquis of Baoling, Jia Huan had no intention of taking any cavalry officers who were not very capable or competent.

Anyway, of the nearly 400 remaining cavalry after the previous annihilation of 3,000 Hu cavalry, the proportion of officers was quite high, enough to fill the officer vacancies among the 5,000 cavalry.

This is the best example of what it means to plan ahead.

Most of the dozens of martial arts graduates and military officers he had taken with him before returned alive.

This time, Jia Huan still planned to take them to the northwest frontier.

Even the current emperor is optimistic about these guys' future, isn't he?

Perfect, let's use these guys' passion and drive to put some pressure on the old hands in the Beijing cavalry.

In just half a month, Jia Huan had organized his 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantrymen and was ready to go on the expedition.

At the same time, he did not forget to maintain his relationship with his fiancée, Lin Daiyu.

Jia Huan's methods of cultivating relationships were naturally quite different from Jia Baoyu's.

He couldn't very well approach Lin Daiyu before their marriage; that was the custom in the capital city of Daqian, the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

As before, Jia Huan wrote down his experiences of fighting three thousand Hu cavalry in a booklet and sent it to Lin Daiyu through his older sister Tan Chun.

There was no other meaning; I just wanted Lin Daiyu to know some things about the outside world.

The book does not contain detailed and specific battle scenes!

Some tragic events are only briefly mentioned, but you can often see them in books: a certain village or town was completely wiped out overnight, and no one, young or old, survived.

Even such a mechanical and pale description was enough to make the sensitive Lin Daiyu weep uncontrollably.

The three sisters of the Spring Festival and Xue Baochai, among other women, couldn't help but shed tears when they read the descriptions in the book.

They then realized that Jia Huan's annihilation of this foreign barbarian cavalry force with a thousand light cavalry was an absolute meritorious deed for the people of Northwest Daqian!

Jia Huan's actions didn't seem to have any special purpose!

His biggest wish was for Lin Daiyu to understand that what he was doing was righteous.

Even if his hands are stained with blood, it doesn't mean he's a demon.

At the same time, there was also the factor of avoiding any negative impact on Lin Daiyu's values.

The main person they were wary of was, of course, Jia Baoyu.

Although Jia Baoyu could not stay in the backyard of the Rong Mansion all the time, he still spent a considerable amount of time with Lin Daiyu and the three sisters.

This guy has a silver tongue and knows how to make girls happy.

Unfortunately, they have a set of fallacies that they can justify themselves.

Given his own literary talent, he might just be able to influence Lin Daiyu and the three sisters.

For example, some people felt that Jia Huan's expedition to the borderlands was too barbaric and domineering, and not a good thing.

Jia Huan did not expect Lin Daiyu to be loyal to the emperor and love her country, but she should still have a certain sense of patriotism.

At the very least, we must distinguish between friend and foe. We shouldn't sympathize with the enemy's civilians; otherwise, it's not very meaningful.

Jia Huan was certain that with this booklet, Lin Daiyu and the three sisters would no longer have any inappropriate sympathy for the barbarians beyond the Great Wall.

It is true that life is difficult for the nomadic peoples beyond the Great Wall, but that is not the reason why they try every means to enter the heart of the Central Plains to burn, kill, and plunder. What about the people of the Central Plains?

Unexpectedly, this move received a very positive response from Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu also communicated with Jia Huan through letters.

In her letter, she lamented the dangers and cruelty of the outside world, reminding Jia Huan to take good care of himself and not to take too many risks.

In addition, he shared his thoughts on the battle described by Jia Huan.

After reading the letter, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile slightly. Lin Daiyu's reaction made him feel quite comfortable.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu's mind was almost entirely entangled with emotions.

Her mind was completely focused on the inner courtyard of the Rong Mansion; at most, she was just a gifted young woman with exceptional artistic talent, nothing more to say about her.

Logically speaking, someone with Lin Daiyu's extraordinary talent for reading would become more open-minded and magnanimous the more books she read, and her vision and knowledge would be different from ordinary people.

But Lin Daiyu gives people a completely different feeling!

The more she read, the more delicate and sensitive her mind became!

Whether it's the saying "deep affection is short-lived" or "extreme intelligence is bound to bring misfortune," both are related to Lin Daiyu!

Jia Huan didn't want her to be in that situation again, so he naturally had to take action.

There's a saying that goes something like this: life is just another day, whether you're happy or sad, so why not choose to be happy?

To Jia Huan's surprise, in addition to Lin Daiyu's prompt reply, his own sister Tan Chun also wrote to him, specifically to chat about Jia Huan's previous battle with three thousand barbarian cavalry.

What surprised him most was that the letter directly quoted some military strategies and tactics, speaking in a very detailed and reasonable manner, as if Tan Chun had personally participated in the battle.

Jia Huan was shocked; he never expected his older sister, Tan Chun, to have such talent.

He didn't mind spending a little time personally pointing out some flaws in his older sister Tan Chun's letter.

Furthermore, it provides quite detailed plot details, allowing the elder sister, Tan Chun, to have a clearer and deeper understanding of the previous battles.

Whether Tan Chun will need this knowledge later is another matter.

In fact, even Jia Huan, looking back on it afterward, felt that things had gone far too smoothly for him after he went on the expedition.

The enemy's three thousand barbarian cavalry seemed to be deliberately handing him their heads!

The initial small-scale scout engagements allowed Jia Huan and his men to quickly adapt to the combat environment.

Then came the piecemeal tactics of the battles, which allowed Jia Huan and his men to get further training.

Finally, the battle involving a thousand people completely transformed Jia Huan and his men.

It's as if the opponent came specifically to help Jia Huan improve his own problem of having theoretical knowledge but relatively lacking practical experience.

All I can say is that I'm really lucky, or even blessed with good fortune.

In addition, Jia Huan took some time to meet privately with Master She and Master Jing to talk about the recent situation.

Master She is still the same as before, only he has aged quite rapidly.

According to Madam Xing, after arriving at the estate, Master She completely let loose and became unrestrained.

He's been indulging in alcohol and women all day long, and his body has long been hollowed out!

If it weren't for his good constitution and the help of a lot of nourishing medicinal diets, he probably would have collapsed long ago. At this time, his hair was gray, and his energy and spirit had declined considerably.

Actually, there wasn't much to say when they met. Master She just told him to behave well and that the future of the Rong family would depend on Huan-ge'er, which was just nonsense.

On the other hand, Jia Huan received a particularly pleasant surprise from Master Jing.

Jia Huan had always vaguely sensed that Master Jing, who had been cultivating immortality at the Xuanzhen Temple, was the true core leader of the Ning and Rong mansions.

He must have the most valuable network of connections in the Ning and Rong mansions!

Indeed it is!

Upon hearing of Jia Huan's previous outstanding performance, Jia Jing felt that Jia Huan already possessed the talent to be a general capable of leading independently.

If properly nurtured, Jia Huan might become the core figure, elevating the family's influence and strength to a new level, reaching its previous peak.

So, when Jia Huan was about to leave, he gave him a list.

*

The list is short, but each name is a renowned border military leader.

Among them, the General of Datong held the highest official rank, and there were two other deputy generals who were also military commanders. They were all powerful figures in the Northwest Frontier Army.

Master Jing's meaning was clear: if Jia Huan encountered any trouble after arriving at the Northwest Frontier, he could seek help from them, and they would definitely lend a hand.

They had no connection with the deposed crown prince; they were all connections left over from the Ning and Rong mansions back then. Jia Huan could use them with complete confidence!

Of course, as time goes on, no one can guarantee whether these people will still give him face; it's up to Jia Huan to handle things carefully.

Jia Huan was delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude.

With the list of contacts provided by Master Jing, Jia Huan was confident that he and his troops could make full use of their abilities on the northwestern border!

In September, when the autumn air was crisp and clear, Jia Huan personally led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to the border to fight.
