The eldest son of the red mansion

At this time, Su De had also finished dressing up and put on his horse.

And Arslen Khan didn't stop after breaking out of Su De's control, and immediately ran to his big tent. Before he reached the big tent, he met his general Ba Gen on the way. It turned out that Ba Gen was listening. After he was hijacked, he immediately mobilized the troops from the headquarters to rescue him.

When Arslen Khan saw Ba Gen, he was about to cry with joy. Sure enough, he was better off on his own. Those tribesmen stood by one by one to watch the fun, and none of them came up to help him. I really thought he didn't know what they were thinking. I'm afraid I hope that he will die early, and then change to a big sweat, so that they can control him.

When they come back to the grassland this time, they must return their capital and profits. This Ba Gen came at the right time, and he really deserves to be the number one general under his command.Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also has a deep understanding of strategy. The most important thing is to be loyal to himself. Once he knows that he is in danger, he will come to rescue immediately.

When Bagen saw Arslen Khan, he immediately asked for a horse to be released. Arslen Khan immediately got on the horse, then took over the command of the troops, and led the team straight to Su De's Dazhai.

At this time, Su De had also finished his preparations, and led his troops out of Dazhai, just in time to run into Arslen Khan leading his troops.

The two sides had nothing else to say at this meeting, and they started fighting, not to mention that Su De's people were really brave, no wonder he was so arrogant.

With the numbers at a disadvantage, they even drew with Arslen Khan's army. The two sides still restrained a little at the beginning and did not make a deadly move.So some people were injured, not dead.But they got out of control when fighting, and in the end they fought desperately like enemies.

The other tribal leaders also ran back to their own Dazhai during this period, and only then did they feel a little more at ease in their hearts, and they had lingering fears about what happened in the big tent just now.

Arslen Khan was so cruel that he disregarded the friendship of his fellow clansmen, and would kill others just because of a few unappealing words, so that other tribes would give him a way out later.This made the tribal leaders not feel much dissatisfaction with Su De's behavior. They believed that Su De was just for self-protection and for the long-term survival of the tribe.

Instead, he was very angry at Arslen Khan for trying to weaken others at any moment, but now was not the time to openly oppose him.So these tribal leaders, each with their own troops, came to the fighting area between the two sides.I saw that at this time, the two of them had already killed each other.

The tribal leaders led their troops outside and didn't know who to help, and the two sides were already in a mess, and they couldn't help if they wanted to, so they could only watch from the outside.As for whether I really can't help, or if I don't want to help, I don't know.

At this time, Jia Ke had already discovered the unusual situation in the Tatar camp, and the scouts he sent came back to report to him, saying that there was a lot of shouting and killing in the Tatar camp, as if there was an internal strife.

Jia Ke had previously considered that the Tatars might rush out of Dazhai and flee north.But I didn't expect that there would be internal strife, which shows that Arslen Khan's control over the grassland has dropped to another level.

This matter now seems to be a good thing, allowing him to quickly defeat the Tatars and relieve the siege of Xuanfu Town.But in the long run, it may not be a good thing. According to the information he got from Tang Kuai, Arslen Khan's strength is the strongest on the grassland. Regardless of the population or the grassland, its strength has already surpassed the sum of other tribes. If it weren't for the previous generation Profusely sweating, already old, only know how to enjoy, no aggressiveness.Then with the strength in his hands, he has already dominated the grassland.

But it was precisely because of Lao Khan's truce that the Tatar population increased a lot. When Lao Khan was there, his prestige was unmatched, and his orders were unimpeded on the grassland.It is not at all comparable to Arslen Khan's ability to forcefully subdue the grassland with his strong power.

It seems that Arslen Khan has only one way to go in the future, and that is to use his own strength to unify the grassland.This has greatly reduced the pressure on the Central Plains.But when he went south again, the catastrophe of the Central Plains really began.

Jia Ke can't control so much now. He just wants to defeat the Tatars and give himself a position. You are ordering the whole army to line up in front of the Tatar camp. Today he will destroy 12 Tatars in one fell swoop. An extraordinary feat.

Following Jia Ke's order, the entire army in Kaiping Town began to move.With the last big victory, their fear of the Tatars has been swept away, and they think they are several times stronger than the Tatars.And Jia Ke's encouragement to them is: a man can beat five beards, which makes them have a great sense of honor.

Jia Ke led the army to the Tatars' camp, and saw that the Tatars were defenseless now, and there were endless shouts of killing in the camp.It seems that the fight between the two sides is not over yet.

Jia Ke didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack.So the cavalry was in front and the infantry in the rear attacked the Tatar camp together.

The Tatars at that time completely concentrated their energies on the Rush between the two sides.He completely ignored Jia Ke.Jia Ke rode a fire dragon colt, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and rushed into the Tatar camp first.Followed by more than 8000 cavalry, and 1 infantry.

The Tatars were completely unprepared, not even a sentry, so Jia Ke led the army to attack the camp in one fell swoop, and then Jia Ke led the army to continue to expand the results of the battle and sweep around the camp.

Arslen Khan was in the middle of a battle with Su De at this time, when he suddenly heard the shouts of killing behind him, Arslen Khan hurriedly sent someone to inquire.

At this time, the leaders of the various tribes also found out that something was wrong, and sent people to investigate the situation.

Soon these people came back and surprised them with the news that Jia Ke had already led his men to break through the camp and headed straight here.

Arslen Khan was dumbfounded when he heard the news. He could have retreated in an orderly manner to reduce casualties, but now it was impossible.At this time, he could not tolerate any further hesitation. He did not bring many soldiers this time, only more than 1 people in total, and the rest were troops from various tribes. The main task is to protect their own 1 people.As for the other tribes, he can't control them.

Arslen Khan made people blow the horn and at the same time ordered his generals to retreat as soon as possible. Now he can't take care of other things, as much as he can go.

The other tribal leaders had the same idea as him, so everyone rushed to escape from the camp and flee to the north.

After Jia Ke broke through the Dada camp, he didn't intercept them head-on, but followed them all the time, covering them from behind.

Since the Tatars and horses had not drank water for many days, they suffered a great loss in physical strength. Jia Ke followed with 8000 people and chased them for two days and two nights, killing and injuring countless Tatars. Captured several thousand Tatars who did not escape.

So far, it only took Jia Ke three days to break the siege of Xuanfu Town, defeating 12 Tatar troops.

Then Jia Ke followed the Tatars with his men and regained the lost ground, but the Tatars defending everywhere have now lost their fighting spirit.He is as afraid of Jia Ke as a tiger.As long as you see his banner, run away immediately.They didn't dare to fight him head-on.

In the next month, with 2 horses in hand, Jia Ke regained the entire lost ground and completely drove the Tatars to the grassland. In addition, he also rescued countless people and seized a large number of gold and silver jewelry.

Chapter 171

When Jia Ke went north to pursue the Tatars, he did not forget to write a letter and asked his soldiers to send it to Fan Kang in Kaiping Town, telling him what happened.Let him take full power to deal with the matter of reporting victory to the court.

Jia Ke is not at ease with Jiedu Envoy Wang Tao. Last time Wang Tao could give up on him, this time he can take away his military exploits.Jia Ke can't let such a thing happen again. The current Wang Tao has lost the bravery of the past. Teng kicked aside.

After Fan Kang received Jia Ke's letter, he thought for a while in the study.Then he decisively wrote a battle report to report the victory, and immediately ordered someone to send it to the capital urgently at eight hundred li.

While the victory report was still on the way, there was chaos in the capital. Since the 800-mile urgent military report was received saying that Xuanfu Town was besieged and was in danger, the well-informed big households in Beijing began to secretly move Property, scattered important people in the family.In order to prevent the Tatars from breaking through Xuanfu Town, they led their troops straight down to the capital.

The emperor and his courtiers were also full of lawsuits these two days. Everyone discussed together, where to send troops, and how much food and grass would they need?

On this day, the same as before, the emperor came to the gate of Qianqing on time, "the royal gate listens to the government".This has been going on for several days, and the emperor is old.To be able to work so hard is already very remarkable.

Why is it not the early dynasty here, but the "Yumen listening to politics"?In fact, the so-called early dynasty was only fabricated in film and television dramas to show the emperor's diligence. Basically, there were no early dynasties in ancient Chinese dynasties. If there was a major event, the emperor would call relevant ministers to attend Taihe Gate, Qianqing Gate or Qianqing Palace. Discuss countermeasures and listen to everyone's opinions.That's why it's called, "Royal gate listens to politics".Later, people understood "Yumen listening to politics" as the early dynasty in the usual sense.And the time for "Yumen to listen to politics" is about 9:30~11:00, no matter how you count at this time, it cannot be said to be an early court.

When the emperor entered the gate of Qianqing, three college students and ministers had already arrived.

The emperor looked at the ministers below and asked, "What's going on? Have you discussed it and reached a conclusion? Where are the troops dispatched from? How are the food and salaries dispatched? It's been almost ten days. There must be a regulation."

University scholar Li Lu came out of the class and replied: "Your Majesty, now 12 Tatar cavalry are gathered at the city of Xuanfu Town. According to the combat capabilities of our soldiers, it is impossible to break the siege of Xuanfu Town without 20 troops."

The emperor nodded when he heard what he said, and then said to them: "I know this, but you have to come up with a charter as soon as possible. Although 1 people were sent to rescue some time ago, it was just delaying time. If you don't Once Xuanfu Town is breached, the capital will be in danger."

Li Lu, as the oldest bachelor, has always been the number one figure in the cabinet.So some words have to be said by him.

Li Lu explained to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, we have decided to mobilize troops from Shandong, Henan and other places, and then join them in Tongzhou. We will send and command the generals to control the troops before going to rescue. Otherwise, we may be killed by the Tatars." Everyone breaks down."

After hearing what he said, the emperor felt that it made some sense.The Tatar cavalry came and went like the wind, and if there were too few troops, they would be eaten by the opponent directly.Only by concentrating forces in one place can it be possible to defeat the Tatars.

After hearing Li Lu's words, Lei Ying, the servant of the Ministry of War next to him, immediately went out to retort: ​​"Your Majesty, the words of the Grand Scholar are purely based on paper, which is unrealistic."

Li Lu felt uncomfortable with this Lei Ying, no matter when or what he would raise objections.But you still have to say, what he said must really make sense.So Li Lu tolerated him all the time.Now you hear him come out to make trouble again, you stand aside and don't speak, but see what he can say.

Hearing what he said, the emperor also asked with a serious face: "I think Li Lu is very reasonable, what can you say is not feasible?"

Lei Ying replied without fear: "It is good for the emperor to gather his troops together, but how to march? How to transport food and grass? What to do with water for the troops? If these problems are not resolved, the tens of thousands of people have not yet arrived in Xuanfu Town. I'm all going to disperse." Then he looked at the people present with disdain, and continued: "You think that the ancients were all fools, and they didn't know how to join forces and divide them into three groups or five groups. That's theirs. There is no way. If we don’t do this, the troops will have to march more than 10 miles. So many people’s drinking water can be solved with just a few wells? This is just a march of a large army, without adding the supplies for transporting food and grass Troops. I'm afraid there will be more than 100 people by then."

After he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. They only knew that in ancient battlefields, they were always defeated by the enemy because they divided their troops into several groups, so they always wanted to merge in one place before advancing.But what Lei Yingdan said just now stunned them. The logistics of 20 people is estimated to be no small matter. Lei Ying said a few questions just now, but they really didn't think about it.

After hearing his words, the emperor asked him, "Then what should you do?"

Lei Ying countered with confidence: "When we are in the territory, how many ways should we divide our troops? Then we will meet in Baoding. We will send a general in Baoding to unify the command. Then we will divide our troops. We will advance several ways, and finally we will meet again in Xuanfu Town. That will not only The time will be much faster, and the marching speed of each route will be much faster than before. When we reach Xuanfu Town, we will gather together to fight the enemy.”

Li Lu stood up and asked, "If you divide your troops into several groups, there is always the danger of being defeated by the Tatars separately. What should you do in this situation?"

"What's so difficult about this? The distance between several armies should not exceed 10 miles. Send more horses to each other. Once Tatars are found attacking one of the lines, the other two lines will quickly support them. The attacked troops should immediately defend themselves and wait until The other two armies have arrived and are in a decisive battle with the enemy." Lei Ying said confidently.

After hearing what he said, the emperor thought about it, and felt that it was more reliable than Li Lu's plan.She made up her mind in her heart, "I think Lei Aiqing's method is really in line with my wishes. I think this is the way to go."

Li Lu stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty thinks that it is better to meet in Tongzhou. March according to the method of Minister Lei Ying, meet in Tongzhou, and go from Tongzhou to Xuanfu Town. This is better for the safety of the capital. Baoding rendezvous, if Xuanfu Town has fallen, the army is far away in Baoding, and if they are rushing to the capital, the capital may be in danger."
